[0031] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an electric vehicle side ladder power-off device includes a power-off housing 1 and a control module inside it. The control module includes a relay module, a main control chip, a 5V voltage regulator module, and a DC-DC converter module. The relay module, the 5V voltage regulator module, and the DC-DC converter module are all communicatively connected to the main control chip. One side of the relay module is also communicatively connected to an anti-theft device.

[0032] It also includes a battery, which is used to power the control module;

[0033] The power-off housing 1 includes a lower housing 11 and an upper cover 12. The upper cover 12 is installed on the upper part of the lower housing 11, and a control module is installed inside the lower housing 11.

[0034] This electric vehicle side ladder power-off device can be integrated into the anti-theft circuit board. By adding peripheral circuits and chips, it controls the optocoupler relay to realize the circuit switching, so that the whole vehicle is powered off when the side ladder is lowered. The DC-DC conversion module and the 5V voltage regulator module work together to reduce the impact of voltage fluctuations on the relay and extend its service life.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a mounting plate 111 is provided on one side of the lower housing 11, and a plurality of mounting holes are provided on the mounting plate 111. A clearance groove 112 is provided on each side of the lower housing 11, and a limiting groove 113 is provided on the inner wall of each side of the lower housing 11. A wiring hole 114 is provided in each limiting groove 113. A recessed platform structure 115 is provided on all four sides of the inner side of the lower housing 11, and a limiting strip 116 is provided on one side of the inner side of the lower housing 11. In this embodiment, the power-off device can be installed in a designated position by bolts through the mounting holes. The number of mounting holes can be determined according to the actual situation. The clearance groove 112 facilitates the operator to open the upper cover 12. The limiting groove 113 facilitates the use of the limiting block 121 of the upper cover 12. The wiring hole 114 facilitates the wiring of the control module. The recessed platform structure 115 facilitates the embedding of the upper cover 12. The limiting strip 116 facilitates the limiting of the rotation side of the upper cover 12.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, two rotating blocks 121 are provided on one side of the upper cover 12, and limiting blocks 122 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the upper cover 12. The limiting blocks 122 are also provided with wiring holes.

The wiring holes 122 and the wiring holes 114 are coaxially arranged to facilitate the wiring of the control module.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the main control chip is an STC series microcontroller chip, which has a faster processing speed and is fully compatible with the instruction system compared to the traditional 51 microcontroller. The program control adopts interrupt control, and the side ladder switch is a two-line limit switch. The key component of this control module circuit is the relay module, which needs to be used in conjunction with the anti-theft device. The working principle is that the ignition lock is closed by remote control of the anti-theft device. When the side ladder is lowered, the switch closes and triggers an interrupt. After a 3-second delay, the chip outputs a high level to open the normally closed relay. At this time, the anti-theft device will restart due to power failure, thereby disconnecting the ignition lock circuit.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 6 As shown, the relay module includes a U2 relay module and a U5 optocoupler. The main control chip is U6, model STC8G108A-SOP8. The 5V voltage regulator module is a DC-DC-5V voltage regulator module. The DC-DC conversion module is U4, which is a DC-DC-12V module. It also includes a deflection limit switch, which is connected to the main control chip.

[0039] This power-off device, through integrated design and intelligent control, significantly improves the reliability and safety of the power-off system. It features rapid response and precise control, employing an STC series microcontroller compatible with the 51 instruction set, increasing processing speed by over 30%. It supports interrupt control, ensuring real-time triggering of the interrupt signal when the elevator is lowered. A 3-second delay power-off mechanism filters out brief contact interference, preventing accidental operation and ensuring safe evacuation for the driver. This power-off device can be directly integrated with anti-theft devices, reducing the number of external components, lowering wiring complexity, and saving space and cost. An optocoupler relay module isolates the main control circuit from the high-voltage circuit, preventing malfunctions caused by electromagnetic interference. This device also features a unified circuit board design, simplifying troubleshooting, and the main control chip supports firmware upgrades.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
