[0052] Optionally, LED D1 emits yellow light, and LED D3 emits red light.

[0053] The principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0054] When no external power is connected, relay J1 is not energized, and the battery supplies power to the system through contact 4 of relay J1. When an external power source is connected, relay J1 energizes, and the external power supplies power to the system through contacts 2 and 3 of relay J1. When switch S1 is not pressed, the gate of P-type MOSFET Q1 is pulled high to the system supply voltage of 12V through resistor R13. When switch S1 is pressed, the system power supply supplies power to the MCU through transistor Q2. After the MCU starts up, it pulls the base level of transistor Q2 high, and the gate control contact of P-type MOSFET Q1 is pulled down to GND through transistor Q2, keeping P-type MOSFET Q1 conducting.

[0055] The MCU's I / O port is normally at a high level. When switch S1 is pressed, the I / O port is pulled down to GND by switch S1. When the MCU detects that the I / O port level changes from high to low, it controls transistor Q2 to turn off, P-type MOSFET Q1 to turn off, the system power is disconnected, and the device is powered off.

[0056] The external power supply is connected to the positive terminal VBAT of the battery via the power management chip IC1. After being divided by resistors R2 and R8, the external power supply is connected to the input voltage detection pin VINSEN of the power management chip IC1. At the same time, the input voltage detection pin VINSEN is connected to the MCU's IO port.

[0057] The output of the power management chip IC1 is controlled by adjusting the I / O port level. When an external power source charges the battery through the power management chip IC1, the MCU pulls the I / O port level high. The battery is connected to the MCU's ADC port via resistors R1 and R5, pulling the control pin level of the power management chip IC1 low and stopping the charging chip output. The battery voltage is sampled through the MCU's ADC port. After the sampling is complete, the control pin level of the power management chip IC1 is pulled high to continue charging the battery.

[0058] Thus, the external power supply and the battery can be switched to supply power to the equipment system via relay J1, ensuring that the battery does not frequently charge and discharge when powered externally, thereby improving the battery's lifespan.

[0059] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
