[0022] ATTACHMENT Figure 1 is a structure block diagram of a wide voltage power supply of an outdoor air conditioning suit according to Embodiment 1 of the present application DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings Figure 1 The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings
[0024] The inventors of this application have discovered that there are many types of air-conditioned clothing on the market, with inconsistent voltages. The power supplies they use often have short battery life, low output power, fixed output voltage levels (3-4), and lack features such as over-temperature protection, battery overcharge protection, battery undervoltage protection, output short-circuit protection, output overcurrent protection, and reverse connection protection. These power supply problems pose significant safety hazards to consumers. Therefore, this application primarily employs a wide-voltage power supply for outdoor air-conditioned clothing. By utilizing advanced step-up / step-down technology and a high-efficiency multi-string battery pack, it achieves stable output over a wide voltage range, solving the problem of narrow output voltage range in existing air-conditioned clothing power supplies. The following is a further detailed description of this application.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] The outdoor air-conditioning clothing wide-voltage power supply provided in this application includes an input interface, an output interface, a step-up / step-down circuit, a multi-cell battery pack, an MCU, and an LED digital display. The input interface receives 30 watts of charging from an external adapter; the output interface includes one DC port outputting 40 watts and one USB-A port outputting 12 watts; the step-up / step-down circuit is connected to the input and output interfaces to achieve stable output over a wide voltage range; the multi-cell battery pack is connected to the step-up / step-down circuit to store electrical energy and provide stable power; the MCU is connected to all components to control the power supply's operating state and voltage regulation; and the LED digital display is connected to the MCU to display the current battery level and current output voltage.
[0027] Specifically, the input interface includes a DC jack that accepts a 20-volt / 1.5-amp input voltage. This DC jack can use a universal Type-C interface or other standard interfaces to accommodate different adapter types. For example, a Type-C interface can be chosen because of its high transmission efficiency and good compatibility. Alternatively, a Micro-USB interface can be used, although its transmission speed is slightly lower than Type-C, it is more convenient for portability and use in certain situations.
[0028] The output interfaces include a DC socket and a USB-A port. The DC socket supports voltage adjustment in 1-volt increments from 7 to 30 volts. After pressing and holding the main button for 3 seconds to power on, the default output voltage is 12 volts. Each click of the main button then quickly switches between preset values of 12 volts, 17 volts, 22 volts, and 26 volts. The USB-A port supports a maximum output power of 5 volts / 2.4 amps, suitable for charging most mobile devices. Both the DC socket and the USB-A port are waterproof, enhancing their durability and reliability in outdoor environments.
[0029] The boost-buck circuit is the core part of the entire power supply, which is responsible for converting the input voltage into the required output voltage and maintaining the stability of the output voltage. The boost-buck circuit can adopt various topologies, such as SEPIC (Single Ended Primary Inductance Converter) or Cuk converter. Both of these converters have high conversion efficiency and strong anti-interference ability, suitable for application in outdoor environments. In addition, Boost-Buck converters can also be used, which can also achieve high-efficiency conversion in a wide voltage range, but their cost is relatively low, more suitable for mass production.
[0030] The multi-string battery pack is composed of four 21700 type lithium batteries in series, with a large total capacity, which can ensure long-term endurance. Each battery unit can be monitored and managed by the BMS (Battery Management System) to ensure balanced charging and discharging of each battery unit. In addition to 21700 type lithium batteries, other types of lithium ion batteries such as 18650 type lithium batteries or soft package polymer lithium batteries can also be selected, each with advantages and disadvantages, which can be flexibly selected according to the actual application scenario.
[0031] The MCU serves as the central controller, responsible for coordinating the work of each module and implementing voltage regulation functions. The MCU can use ARM Cortex-M series processors, which have high performance and low power consumption characteristics, making them very suitable for embedded systems. In addition, the MCU integrates rich peripheral resources such as ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter), PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), and SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface), which can be used to monitor battery status, control the working mode of the boost-buck circuit, and communicate with the LED digital tube.
[0032] The LED digital tube is used to display the current power and output voltage in real time, helping users understand the status of the power supply. The LED digital tube can use a four-bit seven-segment display, clearly and intuitively presenting relevant information. To improve display effects, LED digital tubes with backlight can be selected, which can be clearly visible in the dark or dimly lit environment. In addition, temperature sensors can also be integrated to display the current environmental temperature through the LED digital tube, further improving user experience.
[0033] The implementation principle of the embodiment is:
[0034] By adopting advanced step-up and step-down technology and high-efficiency multi-string battery pack, stable output in a wide voltage range is realized, solving the problem of narrow output voltage range of existing air-conditioning suit power supply. At the same time, by introducing MCU and LED digital tube, intelligent voltage regulation and state display are realized, improving the operation convenience and use experience of users. In addition, through the design of multiple protection mechanisms, the safety of the power supply is effectively guaranteed, avoiding safety hazards caused by overcurrent, overvoltage, short circuit and the like. Overall, the embodiment provides an efficient, reliable and safe outdoor air-conditioning suit wide voltage power supply, which significantly improves the shortcomings of existing products and meets the diversified use needs of users.

The bottom is provided with a retractable power supply designed to solve the problems of narrow output voltage range, short endurance time and lack of pull rod of air-conditioning suit power supplies on the market, and facilitate users to carry multiple safety protection mechanisms.
[0037] Specifically, the input interface is a standard DC socket, supporting holding and dragging. The power supply is designed to have an input voltage of 20V / 1.5A, and this input interface can not only connect a dedicated adapter, but also can be connected through various ways such as a vehicle cigarette lighter converter, and can be fixed on a backpack with a rope, improving the flexibility of use. For example, in addition to the commonly used cylindrical plug, square or L-shaped plug can also be used on the waistband to reduce the burden, so as to be used in different occasions.
[0038] The power output interface is divided into two parts: one DC port supports all secondary features of 7 to 30 characteristics, with voltage adjustment every 1V step in the V range, and the other is a USB-A port that supports logical and combined effects of standard output of 5V / 2.4A. The design of the DC port allows users to choose the appropriate voltage output for charging and portable functions, making it suitable for different brands and models of air-conditioning suits combined with energy storage boxes. The USB-A port is convenient for users to charge their mobile phones or other small electronic devices when using the device indoors. For example, the DC port can use threaded terminals or quick plug terminals to perform well, and can better adapt to outdoor connections to meet different connection needs, while the USB-A port can be equipped with a dust cover to prevent dust from entering.
[0039] The buck-boost circuit uses high-efficiency synchronous rectification charging function to quickly recover power supply technology, which can maintain high efficiency output in a wide voltage range. The core components of the circuit include switching transistors, inductors, filter capacitors, etc. For example, the switching transistor can be selected as MOSFET or IGBT, the inductor can be selected as ferrite or powder core, and the filter capacitor can be selected as electrolytic capacitor or ceramic capacitor. The selection of these components not only affects the performance of the circuit, but also relates to the volume and weight of the entire power supply. In addition, the buck-boost circuit is also equipped with a temperature sensor to monitor the circuit temperature in real time, ensuring normal operation in high temperature environment.
[0040] The multi-string battery pack is composed of four 21700 type lithium batteries in series, with a total capacity of 16000mAh, which can provide continuous working time of more than 10 hours. The advantage of this battery pack is high energy density, long cycle life and low self-discharge rate. For example, 21700 type lithium batteries can be replaced by other high-performance lithium ion batteries such as 18650 or 26650 to meet the needs of different users. In addition, the battery pack is equipped with insulating pads and heat dissipation fins to ensure the safety and stability of the battery pack.
[0041] The MCU serves as the brain of the power supply, responsible for controlling the coordinated work of various modules. It can automatically adjust the output voltage through pre-set programs and monitor the state of the battery. For example, the MCU can use ARM Cortex-M series processors with high-speed computing capability and rich peripheral resources. In addition, the MCU also integrates ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) to read battery voltage and current data in real time, thereby realizing precise voltage regulation and protection functions.
[0042] LED nixie tubes are used to display the current power and output voltage, so that users can know the working status of the power supply at any time. For example, the LED nixie tube can use a four-digit seven-segment display, and each segment is composed of multiple LED beads, which has uniform brightness and wide viewing angle. In addition, the nixie tube can also add a backlight function, which is easier to read information in the night or in a dimly lit environment.

[0044] The power supply realizes high-efficiency output in a wide voltage range by integrating advanced step-up and step-down technology and multiple battery strings. At the same time, the intelligent control function of the MCU ensures the stability and safety of the power supply. Compared with traditional single-voltage output power supplies, this power supply not only can adapt to more types of air-cooled suits, but also can provide longer battery life and comprehensive safety protection, significantly improving user experience and safety.
[0045] The above are preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application.
