[0002] Electromagnetic power-off switches are commonly used protective switches and are widely used in circuits. When a winch is installed on a vehicle, the winch's electrical control box is often connected to the vehicle's battery. To ensure the winch's safe and normal operation, a protective switch is usually installed in the winch's power circuit. Existing patent CN220754347U discloses an electromagnetic power-off switch with overcurrent protection, including a control unit and a detection device for detecting the winch's power supply. The control unit includes a contactor for controlling the connection between the electric winch and the power supply, a control module, and an output relay; the detection device detects the output current value of the electric winch during operation. Existing electromagnetic power-off switches are often directly connected to the vehicle's battery. The winch draws a large current during operation, resulting in a significant voltage drop in the entire circuit. The control unit's operating voltage is typically around 5 volts and needs to be stable. Due to the large voltage drop in the entire circuit, the control unit's operating voltage is also lower during switching, causing the entire control unit to malfunction. Consequently, the overcurrent protection function fails to function properly, resulting in poor reliability. Therefore, it is necessary to design an energy-saving electromagnetic power-off switch with overcurrent monitoring functionality. Summary of the Invention

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings: like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment discloses an energy-saving electromagnetic power-off switch with overcurrent monitoring function, including a power-off switch body 1, and a control circuit board 2 electrically connected to the power-off switch body 1; a Hall effect detection ring 3 electrically connected to the control circuit board 2 is provided on the control circuit board 2, and the Hall effect detection ring 3 is disposed on the outside of the power-off switch body 1; one end of the power-off switch body 1 is connected to a first power supply 4 in the vehicle, and the Hall effect detection ring 3 is sleeved and installed on the wire connected to the first power supply 4; the other end of the power-off switch body 1 is connected to an electrical control box 5, and a contactor is provided in the electrical control box 5; a power input 6 electrically connected to the control circuit board 2 is provided, and the power input 6 is connected to a second power supply in the vehicle; the control circuit board 2 is provided with a control module, an output relay and a current measurement unit, the output relay and the current measurement unit are both electrically connected to the control module, and the current measurement unit is also electrically connected to the Hall effect detection ring 3; the control circuit board 2 is also provided with a switch button 7 and an indicator light 8.
[0017] The output relay is electrically connected to the contactor; the contactor is electrically connected to the motor of the winch 9. The switch button 7 and indicator light 8 are both electrically connected to the control circuit board 2, extending from the control circuit board 2 towards the surface of the power-off switch body 1. The rated voltage of both the first power supply 4 and the second power supply is 12 volts. The power inlet 6 is a two-core waterproof connector, detachably connected to the second power supply via a wire. The power-off switch body 1 is provided with a mounting bracket 10 fixedly connected to it. The control circuit board 2 is also provided with a voltage regulator module electrically connected to it. The control module is a microcontroller; when the control module controls the output relay to operate, the output relay controls the on / off state of the contactor. The rated current of the power-off switch body 1 is 400 amps, and the operating voltage range of the power-off switch body 1 is 8.5-12 volts. The current measurement unit is equipped with a Hall effect detection ring 3 with a current detection range of 100-500 amps.
[0018] The specific operation process of this embodiment is as follows: The power-off switch body 1 is fixed to the vehicle frame using the mounting bracket 10; the first power supply 4 is connected to the power-off switch body 1 via a wire, and the power-off switch body 1 is connected to the electrical control box 5 via another wire; simultaneously, the Hall effect detection ring 3 is fitted onto the wire connecting the first power supply 4; here, it is connected to the second power supply on the vehicle via the power input 6, and the second power supply needs to be installed separately on the vehicle; first, press the switch button 7, and a "click" sound can be heard inside the power-off switch body 1, and the indicator light 8 remains constantly lit; then press the switch button 7 again, and after hearing the "click" sound, the power-off switch body 1 stops working, and the indicator light 8 is turned off. Repeat this operation 3-5 times or more to ensure that the power-off switch body 1 can be properly engaged.
[0019] When the winch 9 needs to be used, the switch button 7 is turned on, energizing both the control circuit board 2 and the electrical control box 5. The control module then sends an electrical signal to the output relay, which in turn controls the contactor to engage, thus controlling the rotation of the winch 9. While the winch 9 is rotating normally, the Hall effect sensor ring 3 measures the real-time operating current of the winch 9. The current measurement unit feeds back the current value to the control module in real time. Initially, the operator pre-programs the operating current into the microcontroller, with a range of 100-500 amps. When the control module detects a current exceeding the preset value, it sends an electrical signal to the output relay, which in turn controls the contactor to disconnect, stopping the winch. The control circuit board is connected to a second power source via power input 6, ensuring that the control circuit board 2 always operates under a stable voltage, resulting in more reliable control.
