[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features of the present utility model can be combined with each other.
[0022] It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention.
[0023] The following describes some embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 4 A control circuit for a pneumatic wire cutter includes a main control circuit board and a display circuit board. The display circuit board includes a control chip IC1, the input of which is connected to a photoelectric sensor CN4 and a button module, and the output of which is connected to a display screen OLED1 and a communication interface CN5. The main control circuit board includes a main control chip IC3, the input of which is connected to a communication interface CN9 and a speed control potentiometer CN8, and the output of which is connected to a cutter motor CN3 and a vacuum cleaner CN22. This invention controls the start and stop of the cutting head and vacuum cleaner electronically. Specifically, when the garment that needs to have its thread cut near the cutting head, the photoelectric sensor CN4 receives a signal and transmits the signal to the control chip IC1. The control chip IC1 processes the signal and then communicates with the main control chip IC3. The main control chip IC3 then sends a start signal to the cutting head motor CN3 and the vacuum cleaner CN22, so that the cutting head and vacuum cleaner can be started simultaneously when needed. After the cutting head cuts off the excess thread, the vacuum cleaner sucks the cut thread into the storage bag for easy use. Conversely, when the garment moves away from the cutting head, the photoelectric sensor CN4 transmits a no-sensing signal to the control chip IC1. The control chip IC1 processes the signal and then communicates with the main control chip IC3, which then sends a stop signal to the cutting head motor CN3. When not in use, the cutting head and vacuum cleaner will be paused, thereby reducing energy consumption.
[0025] In this embodiment, the peripheral circuit of the main control chip IC3 also includes a communication interface CN9, a switch interface CN3, and a program burning interface CN10. The second and third pins of the communication interface CN9 are connected to the 14th and 15th pins of the main control chip IC3, respectively. The first pin of the switch interface CN3 is grounded, and the second pin is connected to the 24th pin of the main control chip IC3 through a resistor R15. A filter capacitor C26 is connected between the first and second pins of the switch interface CN3. When the user presses the switch interface CN3, a signal is transmitted to the main control chip IC3 to switch between automatic start / stop and manual start / stop of the cutting head, which is convenient for the user to select the mode.
[0026] The main control circuit board is connected to the power supply module, which includes a power terminal CN1, a step-down chip IC2, and a linear regulator IC4. Specifically, the step-down chip IC2 uses a common step-down type chip to step down the DC 310V high voltage to DC 15V.

A varistor ZNR1, a capacitor CX1, and a resistor R50 are connected in parallel between the power terminal CN1 and the rectifier bridge B1. The first pin of the rectifier bridge B1 is connected to the input terminal of the step-down chip IC2 through a thermistor TH1.

The output terminal of the step-down chip IC2 is connected to the input terminal of the linear regulator IC4. In this embodiment, the power terminal CN1 is connected to the live wire and neutral wire of the mains power. After the AC power of the mains power is rectified by the rectifier bridge B1, one path of the rectified power is transmitted to the main control chip IC3 to provide the start-up voltage for the main control chip IC3. The other path is stepped down by the buck chip IC2 and then regulated by the linear regulator IC4 to produce a working voltage suitable for the main control chip IC3.

Pin 3 of relay AH2 is connected to pin 2 of power supply terminal CN2. Pin 4 of relay AH2 is connected to pin 1 of cutter motor CN3. In this embodiment, when the main control chip IC3 sends a start signal to cutter motor CN3, pins 2 and 3 of transistor Q2 conduct, causing pins 1 and 2 of relay AH2 to conduct. Pins 3 and 4 of relay AH2 are then closed, forming an electrical connection between power supply terminal CN2 and cutter motor CN3, thereby starting cutter motor CN3.
[0028] Pin 26 of the main control chip IC3 is connected to pin 1 of transistor Q1 via resistor R43. Pin 2 of transistor Q2 is connected to pin 1 of relay AH3. Pin 2 of relay AH3 is connected to the output of step-down chip IC2 via resistor R55. A Zener diode D6 is connected between pins 1 and 2 of relay AH3. Pin 3 of relay AH3 is connected to pin 2 of power supply terminal CN21. Pin 4 of relay AH3 is connected to pin 1 of vacuum cleaner CN22. In this embodiment, when the main control chip IC3 sends a start signal to vacuum cleaner CN22, pins 2 and 3 of transistor Q1 conduct, causing pins 1 and 2 of relay AH3 to conduct. Pins 3 and 4 of relay AH3 are then closed, forming an electrical connection between power supply terminal CN21 and blade motor CN22, thereby starting vacuum cleaner CN22.
