Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of circuits, and particularly relates to a power supply control circuit and a thermal printer.
Background
The portable thermal printer is usually powered by a battery, and generally has a charging function of a USB adapter as a common electronic device in our lives. Limited by volume and portability, their battery capacity is often limited, and thus endurance is an important indicator for portable thermal printers. On the other hand, a thermal printer is a device which consumes a high amount of battery power, and when the battery is exhausted, it is necessary to reactivate the battery in as short a time as possible and charge the battery as soon as possible in consideration of the user experience.
The miniaturized portable thermal printer adopts a single lithium battery to supply power, the battery voltage is 3.0V-4.2V, and the charging voltage is USB 5V. The conventional power control scheme is shown in fig. 1, and includes four parts, namely a battery 1 ', a controller 2 ', a heating head 4 ' and a charging circuit 3 ', the battery 1 ' provides a system power supply for the controller 2 ', the battery 1 ' provides heating power for the heating head 4 ' through a controlled switch 5 ', an external USB input charges the battery 1 ' through the charging circuit 3 ', and the heating head 4 ', the charging circuit 3 ' and the controlled switch 5 ' are controlled by signals provided by the controller 2 '.
The printer comprises the following working states:
shutdown state: the controlled switch 5 ' is turned off, the charging circuit 3 ' does not work, the controller 2 ' supplies power but does not work, at the moment, the battery 1 ' is in a minimum current discharge state, and the electric quantity of the battery 1 ' is slowly reduced.
The USB charging state: the controlled switch 5 'is turned off, the controller 2' supplies power to start working so as to control the charging circuit 3 ', the charging circuit 3' works, at the moment, the battery 1 'is in a state of charging and discharging with small current, and the electric quantity of the battery 1' is gradually increased.
Printing state: the controlled switch 5 ' is closed, the controller 2 ' is powered on, and the battery 1 ' is in a large-current discharging state, so that the electric quantity of the battery 1 ' is rapidly reduced no matter whether the charging circuit 3 ' works or not.
Although the power supply control circuit can well realize the path switching of charging and discharging of the printer in different states and basically meet the power supply requirement of the portable printer, the power supply control circuit still has the following problems:
as described above, since the thermal printer is a device that consumes a high amount of battery power, there may be a case where the battery power is excessively consumed in continuous use, and in this case, the battery voltage is consumed to a low value. For a charging circuit of a single lithium battery, in order to prevent the charging circuit from being damaged due to short-circuit fault of a battery terminal, when the detected battery voltage is lower than a certain value, the charging current is generally reduced to enter a PRE-charging (PRE-CHARGE) state, and the charging current is reduced to be not more than about 10% of a normal value at the maximum.
Taking a currently commonly used single lithium battery charging control chip SG6212 as an example, when the battery voltage is within a normal range, the highest charging current can be set to 1.2A. When the battery voltage is detected to be lower than 2.9V, the charging current is limited to be between 8mA and 120mA (the specific value depends on the peripheral circuit parameters of the chip). In this state, the controller system power supply still needs to be turned on to control the charging circuit, i.e. the system power supply will draw the supply current from the battery terminal. The system power supply consumption current of the portable thermal printer is generally about 50mA, so that the current actually charged into the battery is a very small value or a negative value, namely the current charged into the battery is lower than the discharge current of the battery, and the battery power is actually continuously consumed.
This situation may cause the printer to be charged for a long time after the battery is exhausted, and the battery cannot be recharged to a normal value, even if the battery cannot be recharged permanently.

It can be seen that, in this embodiment, in the charging state, the battery 1 has only the charging current and no discharging current, even in the state of excessive consumption of the battery 1, the charging circuit 3 reduces the charging current to about 10% of the normal value, and since the on-off control circuit 5 is in the off state at this time, there is no current drawn from the battery 1 end by the system power supply, so that the battery 1 can still be charged and restored to the normal working state quickly, and the circuit structure is simple, easy to implement and low in cost.
In this embodiment, the rechargeable battery 1 is a lithium battery, but the invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, other rechargeable batteries may be used as long as the above technical problems are met.
In this embodiment, the charging input interface is the USB interface 4, but is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, other interfaces may be used as long as power input can be performed.
As shown in fig. 3, in this embodiment, the on-off control circuit 5 is preferably implemented by an enhanced PMOS transistor Q1, which has low power consumption, easy control and good effect, but not limited thereto, in some embodiments, the on-off control circuit 5 may also be implemented by other switching transistors, which can be easily implemented by those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail.
Specifically, the drain of the PMOS transistor Q1 is connected to the output terminal BAT of the battery 1, the source of the PMOS transistor Q1 is connected to the input terminal of the power circuit 7, the gate series resistor R1 of the PMOS transistor Q1 is grounded, and the gate of the PMOS transistor Q1 is connected to the input power VBUS of the USB interface 4.
