[0002] For some devices that have high requirements for power quality, such as servers and generators, a backup power supply is usually required to ensure that they are protected in time during power fluctuations or interruptions and to avoid equipment damage or data loss due to power problems.
[0003] Power supply switching circuits can ensure that critical equipment can quickly switch to backup power when the main power supply fails, ensuring the continuity and stability of power supply. However, current power supply switching circuits only involve switching between the main circuit and the backup circuit. They cannot provide further power to the equipment when the backup circuit fails. There are also some switching circuits that can switch between three power supplies, but they rely on controllers for control, which is costly, has complex algorithms, and has high maintenance costs during debugging and operation. Therefore, the inventors have provided a three-power supply circuit that can automatically switch power supplies to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a three-power supply circuit that is low in equipment cost, easy to control and maintain, and can automatically switch power supplies to ensure the continuity and stability of power supply to electrical equipment.

[0009] Furthermore, the first power supply, the second power supply, and the third power supply are all connected to relays, and the relays are respectively connected to the control terminal of the first dual power supply automatic transfer switch or the first dual power supply automatic transfer switch in the switching circuit.
[0010] Furthermore, it also includes an alarm circuit, which includes an alarm connected to a first power supply, a second power supply, and a third power supply respectively, and the power supply circuit also includes a UPS power supply that supplies power to the alarm circuit.
[0011] Furthermore, the alarm is connected to the normally closed port of the relay, and the UPS power supply is connected to the common terminal of the relay.
[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a detection circuit, which includes a voltmeter and an ammeter connected to a first power supply, a second power supply, and a third power supply, respectively.
[0013] Furthermore, the switching circuit also includes a third dual-power automatic transfer switch and a fourth dual-power automatic transfer switch.

[0023] A three-power supply circuit capable of automatically switching power supplies, as shown in Embodiment 1. Figure 1 As shown, it includes:
[0024] Power circuit 1: includes three independent power supplies: a first power supply A, a second power supply B, and a third power supply C. The first power supply A, the second power supply B, and the third power supply C are any one of the following: UPS power supply, generator power supply, and mains power supply, which can be adjusted according to the usage environment. The first power supply A, the second power supply B, and the third power supply C are connected to three relays 4, namely the first power supply relay a, the second power supply relay b, and the third power supply relay c.
[0025] Alarm circuit 3 includes an alarm connected to a first power supply A, a second power supply B, and a third power supply C respectively via a first power relay a, a second power relay b, and a third power relay c. The power supply circuit 1 also includes a UPS power supply 8 that supplies power to the alarm circuit.
[0026] Detection circuit 2 includes a voltmeter and an ammeter connected to the first power supply A, the second power supply B, and the third power supply C respectively through a current coil 5.
[0027] Switching circuit 6 includes multiple dual-power automatic transfer switches, specifically a first dual-power automatic transfer switch AD, a second dual-power automatic transfer switch BC, a third dual-power automatic transfer switch AC, and a fourth dual-power automatic transfer switch BD. One input terminal of the first dual-power automatic transfer switch AD is connected to the first power supply A. The two input terminals of the second dual-power automatic transfer switch BC are connected to the second power supply B and the third power supply C, respectively. The output terminal of the second dual-power automatic transfer switch BC is connected to the other input terminal of the first dual-power automatic transfer switch AD. The input terminals of the third dual-power automatic transfer switch AC are connected to the first power supply A and the second power supply B, respectively. The input terminals of the fourth dual-power automatic transfer switch BD are connected to the second power supply B and the output terminal of the third dual-power automatic transfer switch AC, respectively. The control terminal of the first power relay a is connected to the third dual-power automatic transfer switch AC, and the control terminals of the second power relay b and the third power relay c are connected to the second dual-power automatic transfer switch BC, respectively.
[0028] Output circuit 7 includes a first output power supply E1 connected to the output terminal of the first dual power automatic transfer switch and a second output power supply E2 connected to the output terminal of the fourth dual power automatic transfer switch.

For example, if the toll collection site requires two UPS power supplies and one mains power supply, the UPS power supply will be output to the corresponding lane according to the power consumption to avoid the problem that the UPS output voltage is too high and cannot support the longer time when there is a power outage.
[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, alarm circuit 3 is connected to the normally closed port of relay 4, and UPS power supply 8 is connected to the common terminal of relay 4.
[0030] The three power supply circuits are integrated into one distribution cabinet and grounded by grounding wire 9. The display panels of the voltmeter and ammeter are located outside the distribution cabinet for easy observation by staff.
[0031] In this embodiment, the first power supply A is the main power supply, the second power supply B is the primary backup power supply, and the third power supply C is the secondary backup power supply. When the first power supply A fails, the system switches to the second power supply B and triggers an alarm. When both the first power supply A and the second power supply B fail, the system switches to the third power supply C and triggers an alarm, ensuring uninterrupted operation of the equipment. The coordinated operation of the first dual-power automatic transfer switch AD, the second dual-power automatic transfer switch BC, the third dual-power automatic transfer switch AC, and the fourth dual-power automatic transfer switch BD enables simultaneous switching of power supply to the first output power supply E1 and the second output power supply E2. Furthermore, voltmeters and ammeters are used to monitor and display the status of the first power supply A, the second power supply B, and the third power supply C in real time.
