s21, responding to the starting signal, sending a slave switch conducting signal to the slave switch device VT2 to control the slave switch device VT2 to be conducted; and sending a main switching off signal to the main switching device VT1 to control the main switching device VT1 to turn off. At this time, the voltage input module and the voltage conversion module are conducted through the slave switching device VT 2.
The starting signal is a starting signal of equipment where the overcurrent protection circuit is located.
Generally, an electrolytic capacitor is arranged at the front end of the voltage conversion module, and the secondary switching device VT2 is controlled to be conducted when the device is electrically powered on and powered off, so that the problem of overlarge starting impact current caused by transient direct conduction of the electrolytic capacitor at the moment of powering on can be prevented through the current limiting device R.

The current limiting device R may be a resistor. In practical application, the charging time T of the electrolytic capacitor can be determined according to the resistance value of the current limiting device R, and the capacitor charging completion signal is as follows: starting to time from the start of the computer, and generating a signal when the time reaches the charging time T.
And S23, acquiring the voltage of the two ends of the main switching device VT1 in the conducting state.

It is understood that the slave switching device VT2 is turned on at the turn-on frequency f means that the slave switching device VT2 is turned on f times per unit time.
When the voltage of the main switching device VT1 in the conducting state exceeds a first set value, the main switching device VT1 indicates that an overcurrent or short-circuit fault occurs on a branch circuit where the main switching device VT1 is located, at the moment, the main switching device VT1 is turned off, and the auxiliary switching device VT2 is turned on, so that under the current limiting effect of the current limiting device R, the current and the power are limited in a safe working range, the current and the power consumption of devices in the voltage conversion module are reduced, and the devices are prevented from being ignited; and a radiator is not required to be arranged on the device in the voltage conversion module, and the through-flow requirement on the printed circuit board is reduced. In addition, the slave switching device VT2 is conducted according to the conduction frequency f, so that the current and power of the current limiting device R can be limited within the safe working range by adopting a resistor with a smaller resistance value, thereby reducing the heat consumption of the device and preventing the device from being damaged.
In one embodiment, when the slave switching device VT2 is controlled to be turned on according to the on-frequency f, a fault prompting signal is further sent out and sent to a system MCU (micro-programmed controller), and the system MCU adjusts the load on the system side after receiving the fault prompting signal.
S26, obtaining the voltage of the two ends of the main switch device VT1 in the conducting state of the auxiliary switch device VT 2.
It should be appreciated that when the slave switching device VT2 is turned on, the master switching device VT1 is turned off and the voltage across the master switching device VT1 is the voltage across the current limiting branch.
And S27, judging whether the voltage of the two ends of the main switching device VT1 in the conducting state of the auxiliary switching device VT2 exceeds a second set value, if not, indicating that the overcurrent or short-circuit roadblock on the main switching device VT1 is removed, so as to perform step S28, if so, returning to step S253, so that the auxiliary switching device VT2 is continuously conducted according to the current conducting frequency.
And S28, sending a main switch conducting signal to the main switching device VT1, and controlling the main switching device VT1 to be conducted.
In the embodiment of the invention, when the branch where the main switching device VT1 is located has an abnormal fault such as overcurrent or short circuit, the slave switching device VT2 is controlled to be turned on, so that the devices in the voltage conversion module are protected, and after the abnormal fault is removed, the state of turning on the main switching device VT1 can be automatically recovered, thereby avoiding the operation of manual replacement or reset.
