The voltage sensor is electrically connected to the output of the main power circuit to monitor its voltage.

The output of the microcontroller is electrically connected to the control terminal of the relay. The relay has two sets of contacts: one set connected in series between the main power circuit and the load line, and the other set connected in series between the backup power circuit and the load line. When the microcontroller detects a voltage fluctuation exceeding a preset range, current interruption, or other fault or abnormal condition in the main power circuit detected by the voltage and current sensors, it controls the relay to switch the load from the main power circuit to the backup power circuit to ensure continuous power supply.
[0023] The switchable dual power supply switch box includes a line connection port.
[0024] The switching control circuit also includes a display module that displays line voltage, current and other information in real time. The display module consists of a display screen, a voltage acquisition circuit and a current acquisition circuit. The voltage acquisition circuit is electrically connected to the output terminal of the main power supply circuit, and the current acquisition circuit is connected in series on the output line of the main power supply circuit. The output terminals of both the voltage acquisition circuit and the current acquisition circuit are electrically connected to the input terminal of the display screen.
[0025] The filter in the main power supply circuit is a low-pass filter. The input terminal of the filter is electrically connected to the output terminal of the rectifier, and the output terminal of the filter is electrically connected to the load line.
[0026] The battery management system in the backup power circuit has overcharge protection, over-discharge protection, short circuit protection, and temperature monitoring functions. The output terminal of the rechargeable battery pack is electrically connected to the input terminal of the battery management system, and the output terminal of the battery management system is electrically connected to the input terminal of the inverter, ensuring the safe operation of the rechargeable battery pack under various operating conditions.
[0027] The microcontroller in the switching control circuit has a programmable function and can flexibly set switching parameters according to different load requirements and power characteristics, such as switching delay time, voltage threshold, current threshold, etc. The input terminal of the microcontroller is electrically connected to the output terminal of the voltage sensor and the current sensor, and the output terminal of the microcontroller is electrically connected to the control terminal of the relay.
[0028] The following are examples:
[0029] In a switchable dual power supply switch box, the main and backup power switching mechanism uses voltage and current sensors to monitor the status of the main power circuit in real time. When the main power circuit experiences faults or abnormalities such as voltage fluctuations exceeding the preset range or current interruptions, the microcontroller can quickly control the relay to switch the load from the main power circuit to the backup power circuit. This fast and automatic switching mechanism effectively avoids power supply interruptions caused by main power failures, ensuring that the load can continuously receive power and meeting the needs of occasions with strict requirements for power supply continuity (such as life support equipment in hospitals and servers in data centers).
[0030] In response to sudden power outages (such as lightning strikes causing instantaneous power grid outages or power transmission line failures), the real-time monitoring and rapid response capabilities of the switching control circuit enable power switching to be completed in a very short time, minimizing the impact on load equipment. This avoids potential damage to equipment due to sudden power outages, as well as serious consequences such as data loss and business interruption.
[0031] Improve the intelligence level of power management
[0032] The intelligent monitoring function switching control circuit incorporates voltage and current sensors that accurately monitor the voltage and current status of the main power supply circuit. Furthermore, the voltage and current acquisition circuits in the display module also collect data on the voltage and current of the main power supply circuit and display the relevant parameters on the screen. This multi-faceted monitoring capability allows users to understand the power supply's operating status in real time, such as whether there are voltage fluctuations, current overloads, or other issues, facilitating timely maintenance and management.
[0033] Programmable microcontrollers are programmable and can flexibly set switching parameters, such as switching delay time, voltage threshold, and current threshold, according to different load requirements (e.g., different voltage and current requirements for devices with different power ratings) and power supply characteristics (e.g., the voltage and current ratings of the main power supply and backup power supply). This feature enables dual-power switch boxes to adapt to a variety of different application scenarios, improving the versatility and intelligent management level of the equipment.
[0034] (III) Enhance the safety and reliability of backup power supplies
[0035] The backup power circuit design incorporates a battery management system with overcharge protection, over-discharge protection, short-circuit protection, and temperature monitoring. These protection functions ensure the safety of the rechargeable battery pack during charging and discharging, preventing damage due to overcharging, over-discharging, or short circuits. Simultaneously, the temperature monitoring function can promptly detect abnormal temperature conditions (such as overheating) in the battery pack, preventing safety accidents caused by overheating. This comprehensive protection mechanism enhances the reliability of the backup power supply, ensuring a stable power supply to the load in the event of a main power failure.
[0036] Low-pass filters ensure power quality. The low-pass filter in the main power supply circuit effectively filters out high-frequency interference components in the rectified current, ensuring the purity of the output power. A clean power supply helps improve the operating efficiency and lifespan of the load equipment, reduces equipment failures caused by power interference, and further enhances the reliability of the entire dual power supply switch box system.
[0037] (iv) Ease of operation and equipment safety
[0038] The convenient line connection ports of the switchable dual power switch box feature a specific design (such as a quick-plug interface based on the "quick power access" principle) that makes connecting or replacing backup power convenient and quick. This quick-plug interface design improves the efficiency of equipment maintenance and emergency operations, reducing time delays and operational risks that may result from complex power connection operations.
[0039] The grounding port, located on the lower side of the equipment, is effectively connected to the external grounding wire and grounding grid via a grounding bolt and grounding conductor, providing grounding protection for the lines and equipment. This grounding protection effectively prevents injury to personnel from equipment leakage and avoids damage to internal circuits due to static electricity, thus improving the overall safety of the equipment.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
