Refer to
The EN port of the automobile start control module is positioned on a boost device, which provides a gate-source voltage to a plurality of N-channel MOSFETs Q3_1, Q3_2, Q3_3, Q4_1, Q4_2, Q4_3, which are connected in parallel pairs.
The DC to DC module in the present disclosure provides the stable voltage for the microcontroller which collects relevant data to conduct the corresponding control. The battery voltage detection module conducts the measurement of the batter voltage, and the automobile start control module conducts the power supply or the power outage for the load module through the microcontroller, wherein the load detection module detects whether the load module is correctly connected.
The microcontroller in the present disclosure determines whether the automobile storage battery is connected with the automobile engine through the load detection module, wherein the automobile start control model is automatically activated and the battery starts to supply power to the load module when the load is correctly connected; the automobile start control model is automatically deactivated and the battery stops supplying power to the load module when assuming that the load is not connected or the positive and negative polarities are reversely connected. In the standby mode, the microcontroller closes all outputs when the battery voltage is lower than 9V, and recovers the normal operation only when the battery voltage is larger than 10V; the automobile engine will generate the normal voltage to recharge the battery after the automobile starts, whereas the automobile start control module is deactivated immediately once the recharging voltage is larger than the voltage before that battery starts the power supply, to protect the battery from damages caused by charging with the normal voltage; the automobile start control module is the electronic switch, which can prevent the load from being reversely connected and recharging of the normal voltage, thus protecting the battery and prolonging lifespan.
The automobile engine will generate abnormal voltage to recharge the direct current power supply after the automobile starts, and the automobile start control module is deactivated immediately once the recharging voltage is larger than the voltage before the direct current power supply starts the power supply, to protect the direct current power supply from damages caused by charging with normal voltage charge.
It is obvious for the skilled people in the art that the present disclosure is not merely limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the present disclosure can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the sprits or the basic features of the present disclosure. Thus, no matter to consider from which point of view, the embodiments should be considered as exemplary and non-limiting. The scope of the present disclosure is defined by the accompanying Claims rather than the above description, therefore it is intended that all the changes fallen within the meanings and scope of the equivalent elements of the Claims are contained in the present disclosure. Any drawing reference in the Claims should not be regarded as limiting the Claims involved.
Furthermore, it should be understood that although the specification is described according to the embodiments, but not every embodiment includes only an independent technical solution, this manner of description for the specification is only for clarity, therefore the skilled people in the art should take the Specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in various embodiments can be combined appropriately to form other implementations understandable for those skilled in the art.
