[0020] A timed cyclic power-off restart system includes a timed cyclic unit, a power-off restart unit, and a switch control unit. The power-off restart unit is connected to the timed cyclic unit, and the switch control unit is connected to the power-off restart unit.

[0021] In this invention, the power-off restart unit is in the on state by default when powered on. The switch control unit is used to output power supply, and at the same time, the timer cycle unit starts timing. After timing for a certain set time, the timer cycle unit controls the power-off restart unit to switch from high to low by level flipping, thereby controlling the switch control unit to turn off the output power supply, realizing the shutdown of the device. At the same time, the timer cycle unit resets and restarts to start timing again. After receiving a certain set time, the power-off restart unit flips the level from low to high, controlling the switch control unit to output power supply, realizing the startup of the device.

Resistor R2 is sequentially connected to pins 2 and 6 of chip U1. The circuit consists of a resistor R4, a diode D1, and a transistor Q3. Pin 3 of transistor Q3 is connected to diode D1. Pin 2 of transistor Q3 is connected to resistor R1. Pin 1 of transistor Q3 is connected to resistor R13. Resistor R1 and resistor R3 are connected to pin 3 of transistor Q7. Pin 1 of transistor Q7 is connected to resistor R82 and has a Q14 point. Transistor Q7 is connected to the timing loop unit through Q14. Pin 2 of transistor Q7 is grounded, and resistor R85 is connected between pins 1 and 2 of transistor Q7. Pin 5 of chip U1 is connected in series with capacitor C1, and capacitor C1 is grounded.

[0023] The timed cycle restart unit includes a chip U2. Pin 3 of chip U2 is connected to point Q14. Pin 8 of chip U2 is grounded. Pins 9 and 11 of chip U2 are connected through capacitor C3 and resistor R11. Resistor R10 is provided between capacitor C3 and resistor R11. Resistor R10 is connected to pin 10 of chip U2. Pin 16 of chip U2 is connected in series with capacitor C5 and is grounded. Pin 12 of chip U2 is connected in series with resistor R12 and is grounded. Point RST is provided between resistor R12 and pin 12 of chip U2. Capacitor C6 is provided between pin 12 and pin 16 of chip U2.

[0024] The RST point is connected to a transistor Q7, with pin 3 of the transistor Q7 connected to the RST point and a resistor R14 connected to pin 3 of the transistor Q7. Pin 2 of the transistor Q7 is grounded, and pin 1 of the transistor Q7 is connected in series with a resistor R15, which is connected to the OUT point.

[0025] The switch control unit includes a transistor Q1. A resistor R5 is connected in series to pin 1 of transistor Q1, and the resistor R5 is connected to the OUT point. Pin 2 of transistor Q1 is grounded. A resistor R9 and a transistor Q2 are connected in series to pin 3 of transistor Q1. Pin 1 of transistor Q2 is connected to the resistor R9, and a resistor R8 is connected to pin 2 of transistor Q2. The resistor R8 is positioned between the resistor R9 and pin 1 of transistor Q2.

[0026] The working principle of this invention: Chip U1 uses an NE555 chip, and chip U2 is a CD4060BM, a 14-bit binary counter. The circuit includes an oscillator driver module and a 14-bit binary counter module. Resistor R11 and capacitor C3 form an RC oscillator to provide the timing time (T = 2.2RC). Upon power-up, Q14 outputs a low level, and the collector (pin 3) of transistor Q7 remains high, turning off transistor Q3, and capacitor C4 remains low. The voltage at pin 2 of chip U1 is lower than 1 / 3 of the power supply voltage (12V), causing pin 3 (OUT point) of chip U1 to output a high level (12V). At this time, chip U2 starts timing. When the set time is reached, the set time T = 2.2RC * 2. 13 (s), the specific time can be controlled by selecting different resistors R11 and capacitor C3 according to actual needs. When Q14 flips to a high level, the level of pin 3 (collector) of transistor Q7 remains low, making transistor Q3 turn on. Capacitor C4 charges to the level of pin 6 of chip U1, which is higher than 2 / 3 of the power supply voltage (12V), so that pin 3 of chip U1, i.e., OUT point, outputs a low level. When pin 3 of chip U1 outputs a low level, the level of pin 3 (collector) of transistor Q4 is turned on. The output high level is pulled high to pin 12 of chip U2 to reset chip U2, and chip U2 restarts the zero-time timing. When chip U2 restarts the zero-time timing, point Q14 flips to a low level, the collector (pin 3) of transistor Q7 remains high, making Q3 turn off. C4 discharges through resistor R2, diode D2, and pin 7 of chip U2 to a voltage that is lower than 1 / 3 of the power supply voltage (12V) at pin 2 of chip U1, causing pin 3 of chip U1 to flip from low to high level (12V), thus realizing the cycle.

[0027] In this invention, transistor Q2 in the switch control unit is a P-MOS switch. The switching state of transistor Q2 is controlled by the level of pin 3 (OUT point) of chip U1, which is fed into pin 3 of transistor Q1 to control the power output. When pin 3 of chip U1 outputs a high level, the level of pin 3 of transistor Q1 remains low, transistor Q2 is off, and 12V power is output to the device. When pin 3 of chip U1 outputs a low level, the level of pin 3 of transistor Q1 remains high, transistor Q2 is on, power is stopped to the device, and 12V-OUT is output.
