Embodiments of the present invention

[0035] The second control circuit includes a first control chip; the first pin of the first control chip is connected to one end of a fifth resistor; the other end of the fifth resistor is grounded; the second pin of the first control chip is connected to the cathode of a first light-emitting diode; the anode of the first light-emitting diode is connected to the input terminal.

[0036] The third pin of the first control chip is connected to one end of the sixth resistor; the other end of the sixth resistor and the fourth pin of the first control chip are grounded together.

[0037] The sixth pin of the first control chip is connected to one end of the first inductor; the other end of the first inductor is connected to the output terminal, one end of the second capacitor, and the eighth pin of the first control chip; the other end of the second capacitor is grounded.

[0038] The seventh pin of the first control chip is connected to the input terminal and one end of the first capacitor, respectively; the other end of the second capacitor is grounded. The model of the first control chip is XGC3F01.

[0039] The third control circuit includes a fourth control chip; the first pin of the fourth control chip is connected to the second pin of the fourth control chip and one end of the sixth capacitor; the other end of the sixth capacitor is connected to the third pin of the fourth control chip and one end of the fourteenth resistor.

[0040] The fourth pin of the fourth control chip is connected to one end of the twelfth resistor; the other end of the twelfth resistor, the fifth pin of the fourth control chip, and the sixth pin of the fourth control chip are all grounded. The fourth control chip is model XGC3F08B.

[0041] Preferably, the control circuit, which is suitable for power supplies and allows for free voltage switching, further includes an interface unit; the third pin of the interface unit is connected to one end of the first resistor; the fourth pin of the interface unit is connected to one end of the third resistor; the other end of the first resistor, the other end of the third resistor, the first pin of the interface unit, and the sixth pin of the interface unit are all grounded. The interface unit is model TYPEC6P-LT1.

[0042] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the battery protection board has a toggle switch with two positions. When the toggle switch is in the 1.5V position, the positive and negative terminals of the battery output voltage is 1.5V (simulating the voltage output of a dry cell battery). When the toggle switch is in the 3.7V position, the positive and negative terminals of the battery output voltage is the standard 3.7V lithium battery voltage, which is completely consistent with the function of a single-cell lithium battery protection board.

[0043] Preferably, in the boost / buck circuit of the present invention: to achieve free switching between 1.5V and 3.7V, the circuit needs to include a boost circuit (to boost 1.5V to 3.7V) and a buck circuit (to reduce 3.7V to 1.5V). These circuits may consist of inductors, capacitors, diodes, switching transistors (such as MOSFETs), and control chips, etc.

[0044] Corresponding battery management chips are used to monitor the charging and discharging status of the battery, as well as to realize battery voltage conversion and protection functions. These chips may have functions such as battery voltage detection, charging current control, discharging current limiting, and overcharge / over-discharge protection.

[0045] Dual voltage output design: The battery itself may employ a dual voltage design, meaning it contains two voltage output terminals internally: one at 1.5V and the other at 3.7V. Users can select the desired voltage output via external circuitry or a switch.

[0046] Furthermore, the present invention employs a hidden metal plate design: in some battery designs, a hidden metal plate design may be used to achieve dual voltage output. This design allows the battery to use a 1.5V voltage output during discharge, while charging is performed using an internal 3.7V voltage.

[0047] In principle, when a 1.5V voltage output is required, the battery management chip or external circuit will step down the 3.7V lithium battery voltage to 1.5V; when a 3.7V voltage output is required, it may be powered directly through the 3.7V voltage output terminal inside the battery, or the 1.5V voltage may be boosted to 3.7V through a boost circuit (although this is less common, because lithium batteries can usually provide 3.7V voltage on their own).

[0048] For example, in wireless mouse modification applications, some users have converted their wireless mice, which originally used 1.5V dry cell batteries, to use 3.7V lithium batteries. By using a step-down chip to achieve voltage conversion, they have improved the mouse's battery life and stability. The modified mouse can maintain a stable connection for longer periods and no longer experiences frequent disconnections. Remote control upgrades: Similar to wireless mice, some remote controls can also be modified to freely switch between 1.5V and 3.7V voltages. This not only increases the remote control's range and response speed but also significantly extends its usage time and reduces the frequency of battery replacements.

[0049] In summary, the 1.5V and 3.7V freely switchable battery solution solves technical problems such as voltage conversion efficiency, battery management, and voltage switching mechanism by adopting boost / buck circuits, battery management chips, and dual voltage output design. It achieves technical effects such as high-efficiency voltage conversion, optimized battery management, user-friendliness, and environmental protection and energy saving.

[0050] In other words, this invention provides a control circuit suitable for power supplies and with freely switchable voltages. The control circuit includes a first control circuit for freely switching the power supply voltage, and a second and third control circuit electrically connected to the first control circuit. The second control circuit is a charging circuit; the third control circuit is a protection circuit. The first control circuit includes a toggle switch for controlling real-time switching of the power supply voltage. The third pin of the toggle switch is connected to one end of a ninth resistor, one end of a first transistor, and the second control circuit, respectively. The other end of the ninth resistor is connected to the output terminal and the other end of the first transistor, respectively. The third end of the first transistor is connected to the output terminal and the third end of the second transistor, respectively. The first pin of the toggle switch is connected to one end of a tenth resistor and one end of a second transistor, respectively. The other end of the tenth resistor is connected to the input terminal and the other end of the second transistor, respectively. This allows for switchable output of different power supply voltages and provides battery voltage conversion and protection functions. Industrial applicability
