[0033] To better understand this utility model, the working principle and operation of the vehicle-mounted high-power discharge socket will be explained below.
[0034] Under normal circumstances, the OBC will connect to the socket. The control mechanism will supply a 12V level to the OBC, causing it to output AC voltage for charging. Simultaneously, the backlight will illuminate upon detecting the AC voltage at the high-voltage output port. Closing the relay ensures AC voltage at the socket, and the indicator light will turn green.
[0035] If an error is detected, the relay will activate, resulting in no AC voltage at the socket. Simultaneously, a low-level signal is applied to the OBC, stopping its AC output. The indicator light will turn red and flash. After troubleshooting, pressing the reset button will restore a high-level signal to the OBC, enabling it to output AC voltage again.
[0036] When the lid is detected to be closed, a low-level signal is sent to the OBC, and the OBC stops outputting AC voltage. The background light turns off.
