As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the following describes a specific working procedure of an embodiment of the present application:
1. Assuming that the metal terminal is not close to the first inductor L1 of the oscillator, VCC supplies power to the first inductor L1 and the first capacitor C1 through the first resistor R1 and the first diode D1, the first inductor L1 and the first capacitor C1 generate high-frequency oscillation, when the LC oscillation waveform is in a positive half cycle, the voltage of the oscillator is positive and negative from top to bottom, the base voltage of the first triode Q1 is higher, the base current is larger, the conduction current of the collector and the emitter of the first triode Q1 is larger, the base current flowing into the second resistor R2 through the second resistor L2 and the third resistor R3 is larger, meanwhile, the second capacitor C2 is discharged, the conduction current of the second triode Q2 is larger, the voltage of the collector is small, the relay module 1 is electrified, the working state of the relay module 1 is in a closed state (the switch K1 is in a normally open state (NO)), when the oscillation waveform of the LC is in a negative half cycle, the voltage of the oscillator is positive and negative from top to bottom, the conduction current of the first triode Q1 is lower, the base current flowing into the second resistor R2 through the second resistor R2 and the third resistor R2 is in a normally open state, the second triode Q2 is electrified, and the second triode Q2 is in a normally open state.
2. If the charging gun 100 is inserted into the charging gun socket 201, at this time, the metal terminal of the charging gun 100 approaches the first inductor L1 of the oscillator, and an eddy current phenomenon occurs on the metal surface, the eddy current phenomenon reacts to the first inductor L1, so that the inductance becomes smaller, the LC oscillator stops oscillating, the first inductor L1 and the second inductor L2 correspond to a short circuit, the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 correspond to an open circuit for the dc signal, the base current of the first triode Q1 becomes smaller, and most of the current flows through the first diode D1 to the third resistor R3 and the fifth resistor R5 to the ground, so that the base current of the second triode Q2 is small, the second triode Q2 is in an off state, the relay module power supply does not form a loop, and is in an off state, and the operating state of the relay module 1 is in an off state (the switch K1 is output in a normally closed state (NC)).
