Referring to accompanying drawing 1, the present invention is an uninterruptible power supply system based on supercapacitors, comprising a power supply circuit and a microcontrol unit U1 (i.e., MCU), the power supply circuit is connected with the microcontrol unit U1 and is used for supplying power to the microcontrol unit U1, and further comprises:
supercapacitor group C1, supercapacitor group C1 is connected to the power supply circuit and is provided with a switch S1 between the power supply circuit and the power supply circuit;
the supercapacitor control circuit 100 is used for receiving the signal sent by the microcapacitor control unit U1 to control the switch S1 to control the switch S1 to close or disconnect.
In this embodiment, in practical application, the power supply circuit supplies power to the microcontrol unit U1 so that the microcontrol unit U1 works normally, and also supplies power to the supercapacitor group C1 to charge the supercapacitor group C1, when the power supply circuit is abnormal (such as accidental power failure, When fluctuation occurs, etc.), the supercapacitor group C1 is used as a standby power supply to supply the microcontrol unit U1 normally through discharge, because the supercapacitor group C1 has a certain capacitance value, as an energy storage unit can store a certain amount of electricity, so the microcapacitor unit U1 can maintain a normal working state for a period of time, and when the microcontrol unit U1 detects that the power supply circuit is powered off, it will perform a preset operation (such as saving data) before the energy of the supercapacitor group C1 is exhausted, and when the microcapacitor unit U1 performs the preset operation, then send a signal to the supercapacitor control circuit 100 to control the switch S1 to be disconnected, thereby cutting off the power supply circuit of the supercapacitor group C1, and then controlling the shutdown of the microcontrol unit U1. Effectively avoid the data loss of the microcontrol unit U1 due to the abnormal power supply;Furthermore, because the supercapacitor group C1 has long life and strong anti-interference ability, it has sufficient reliability, so it can provide stable power supply for the microcontrol unit U1 when the power supply circuit is abnormal; furthermore, the supercapacitor group C1 has a large capacity, so that the microcontrol unit U1 has enough time to perform the preset operation, and ensures the stable operation of the uninterruptible power supply system; furthermore, the supercapacitor group C1 allows high-current charging and discharging, so as to achieve the effect of short charging time and high energy conversion efficiency。
In the same way, when the power supply circuit supplies power to the microcontrol unit U1 again, the microcontrol unit U1 sends a signal to the supercapacitor control circuit 100 to control the switch S1 to close, so that the supercapacitor group C1 is connected to the power supply circuit for charging.
In some embodiments, with reference to accompanying drawing 1, the uninterruptible power supply system based on supercapacitor further comprises a first buck-boost circuit 200, the first buck-boost circuit 200 is arranged on the power supply circuit, the input end of the first buck-boost circuit 200 is connected with the power supply, and the output end is electrically connected with the microcontrol unit U1;
The output end of the first buck-boost circuit 200 is also connected with the input end of supercapacitor bank C1 through a power supply branch that is bifurcated from the power supply circuit.
In practical application, different power supply as a pre-power supply system will have different output voltages, such as 5V, 12V, 24V and 48V etc., the present embodiment regulates the output voltage of the power supply by setting up a first buck-boost circuit 200, so that the output voltage conforms to the rated voltage of the normal operation of the microcontrol unit U1 and the supercapacitor group C1, is conducive to avoiding that the microcontrol unit U1 and the supercapacitor group C1 cannot be driven normally by too low voltage, or the microcontrol unit U1 and the supercapacitor group C1 are burned out due to excessive voltage.

For example, the output voltage of the power supply is Vin, the rated voltage of the microcontrol unit U1 is Vout, and the rated voltage of the supercapacitor group C1 is Vc; when Vin>Vout=Vc, the first buck-boost circuit 200 is controlled to switch to a step-down, thereby reducing the output voltage of the power supply; in the same way, when Vin

In some embodiments, with reference to accompanying drawing 1, the uninterruptible power supply system based on supercapacitor further comprises a second buck-boost circuit 300, the second buck-boost circuit 300 is arranged on the power supply circuit and is located between the bifurcation of the power supply circuit and the microcontrol unit U1, the input end of the second buck-boost circuit 300 is electrically connected with the output end of the first buck-boost circuit 200 and the output end is connected with the microcontrol unit U1;
The output terminal of the supercapacitor bank C1 is connected with the second buck-boost circuit 300 through a switch S1.
In practical application, different microcontrol unit U1 will have different rated voltages, such as 5V, 12V, 24V and 48V etc., and the present embodiment regulates the input voltage of microcontrol unit U1 by setting up a second buck-boost circuit 300, so that the input voltage conforms to the rated voltage of microcontrol unit U1 normal operation, is conducive to avoiding low voltage can not drive microcontrol unit U1 normally, or excessive voltage causes microcontrol unit U1 to burn out.

When used in combination with the first buck-boost circuit 200, when Vin>Vc > When Vout, the first step-up circuit 200 and the second buck-boost circuit 300 are switched to step-down, thereby reducing the output voltage of the power supply to the rated voltage of the supercapacitor group C1, so that the supercapacitor group C1 works normally, and whether the power supply circuit or the supercapacitor group C1 supplies power to the microcontrol unit U1, the voltage is lowered to the rated voltage of the microcontrol unit U1 again through the second step-up circuit 300, so that the microcontrol unit U1 works normally>; When Vc is >, the first buck-boost circuit 200 is controlled to be switched to a step-down and the second buck-boost circuit 300 is switched to a step-down; when Vout> Vout> Vc, the first buck-boost circuit 200 is switched to a step-down and the second buck-boost circuit 300 is switched to a step-up; when Vout> Vc>Vin, the first buck-boost circuit 200 and the second buck-boost circuit 300 are both switched to a step-up; and when Vc > Vout> Vout Vin, the first buck-boost circuit 200 is controlled to switch to boost and the second buck-boost circuit 300 is switched to step-down, and the uninterruptible power supply system can be used with a variety of microcontrol units U1 by arranging the second buck-boost circuit 300, so that the applicability of the uninterruptible power supply system is further improved.
Further, with reference to accompanying drawing 3, the workflow of the uninterruptible power supply system of the present embodiment is described as follows by taking Vin>Vc>Vout as an example (other situations are similar and will not be repeated here):
After Vin is connected to the first buck-boost circuit 200, it is judged that Vin > Vc, then the first buck-boost circuit 200 is controlled to switch to a step-down, and the output Vc of the first buck-boost circuit 200 is charged by the supercapacitor group (the switch S1 is closed under normal conditions); after Vc is connected to the second buck-boost circuit 300, Vc is judged to be > Vout, then control the second buck-boost circuit 300 to switch to step-down, and the second buck-boost circuit 300 outputs Vout to supply power to MCU at this moment; when MCU detects that the power supply circuit is power-off, the supercapacitor group begins to discharge for MCU, and the supercapacitor group outputs Vc and step-down to Vout through the second buck-boost circuit 300, so that the MCU maintains normal power supply and carries out data saving, after the data is saved, the MCU sends a signal to the supercapacitor control circuit 100 to control the switch S1 to be disconnected, the supercapacitor group stops discharging, and the MCU shuts down。
