[0035] This utility model embodiment discloses a multifunctional terminal reset device, with a connection diagram for a usage scenario, as shown below.

[0038] To illustrate the connection relationships of this novel invention in more detail, such as Figures 3-8As shown, the relay control module 206 includes four independent relay control units; wherein, phase A of the three-phase AC power grid is connected to the phase A input terminal of the three-phase AC-DC power module and one end of the normally closed contact k1 of the first relay control unit; phase B of the three-phase AC power grid is connected to the phase B input terminal of the three-phase AC-DC power module and one end of the normally closed contact k2 of the second relay control unit; phase C of the three-phase AC power grid is connected to the phase C input terminal of the three-phase AC-DC power module and one end of the normally closed contact k3 of the third relay control unit; phase N of the three-phase AC power grid is connected to the phase N input terminal of the three-phase AC-DC power module and one end of the normally closed contact k4 of the fourth relay control unit; the voltage output terminal of the three-phase AC-DC power module is connected to one end of the coil KT1 of the first relay control unit, one end of the coil KT2 of the second relay control unit, one end of the coil KT3 of the third relay control unit, and one end of the coil KT4 of the fourth relay control unit.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, each relay control unit also includes an auxiliary protection circuit consisting of resistors, diodes, and NPN transistors.

[0040] The fourth terminal of the microcontroller chip 205 is connected to the fifth terminal of the signal transceiver 202, the fifth terminal of the microcontroller chip 205 is connected to the ninth terminal of the relay control module 206, and the sixth terminal of the microcontroller chip 205 is connected to the third terminal of the rotary DIP switch 204.

[0041] In this embodiment, the signal transceiver chip 202 is used to connect the device terminal and the microcontroller chip 205. A specific connection relationship is described in reference [reference needed]. Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown. The third terminal of the signal transceiver chip 202 is connected to the RS-485 interface A of the terminal device, and the fourth terminal of the signal transceiver chip 202 is connected to the RS-485 interface B of the terminal device.

[0043] In addition, in this embodiment of the invention, an indicator light module 203 is provided, which consists of several indicator lights and is used to display different states. The specific circuit connection diagram is shown below. Figure 5 , Figure 8 As shown in Table 1, the indicator light status configuration is as follows:

[0044] Table 1 Indicator Light Status Configuration Table

[0045]

[0046] The working principle of the multifunctional terminal reset device disclosed in this invention is as follows:

[0047] The three-phase power supply from the grid is used to power the multi-functional terminal reset device, and at the same time, it powers the terminal through the relay control module 206.

[0048] AC-DC power supply unit 201 is used to convert three-phase power from the grid into DC power to power signal transceiver 202, indicator light 203, rotary DIP switch 204, microcontroller chip 205, and relay control module 206.

[0049] The transceiver 202 converts the remote signaling TTL level signal of the microcontroller chip 205 into an RS-485 differential signal.

[0050] The microcontroller chip 205 reads the setting information of the rotary DIP switch 204 and obtains the power-off time of the restart terminal.

[0051] When the multi-functional terminal reset device is working normally, the microcontroller chip 205 is configured to periodically transmit remote signaling TTL level signals to the signal transceiver 202. The signal transceiver 202 converts the remote signaling TTL level signals into RS485 differential signals and transmits them to the terminal via the RS485 bus. If the terminal is working normally, it will transmit a response signal to the signal transceiver 202 via the RS485 bus. The signal transceiver 202 converts the response signal into a TTL level signal and transmits it to the microcontroller chip 205. If the terminal malfunctions or crashes, it will not send a response signal. If the microcontroller chip 205 does not receive a response signal within a certain period after sending the remote signaling signal, it indicates that the terminal is malfunctioning or crashing. In this case, the microcontroller chip 205 outputs a disconnect relay signal to the relay control module 206 and starts timing. When the timing reaches the power-off time for restarting the terminal, the microcontroller chip 205 sends a close relay signal to the relay control module 206 to achieve power-off restart of the terminal.

[0052] When the relay control module 206 receives the relay disconnect signal sent by the microcontroller chip 205, it disconnects 4 relays to achieve terminal power-off; when the relay control module 206 receives the relay close signal sent by the microcontroller chip 205, it closes 4 relays to achieve terminal restart.

[0053] In this embodiment of the invention, no design improvement of the microcontroller program is involved. In the above embodiment, the restart of the terminal device is achieved by using a rotary DIP switch 204 and a common relay, which has the advantage of low cost. In other embodiments, a time relay can also be used to set the restart time of the terminal device, so as to replace the rotary DIP switch and the common relay.

[0054] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on its differences from other embodiments. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably. For the apparatus disclosed in the embodiments, since they correspond to the methods disclosed in the embodiments, the description is relatively simple; relevant parts can be referred to the method section.

[0055] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
