To maintain the following description of the embodiments of the present disclosure clear and concise, a detailed description of some known functions and components have been omitted from the present disclosure. The drawings of the embodiments of the disclosure only relate to the structures related to the embodiments of the disclosure, and other structures can refer to the common design.
As mentioned above, since the failure of the EPD device in the startup and running stages cannot be eliminated at present, only a means of restarting can be adopted to ensure that the system program can still run normally when the EPD device fails. However, the inventor of the present application finds that, in a device start-up phase, an EPD device is restarted due to a failed start-up of an EPD panel (EPD screen), so that the voltage of the EPD device is unstable, and the EPD device is restarted successfully. In the device operation stage, when the EPD screen causes the EPD device to restart for various reasons, the EPD voltage is in an unstable state, so that the EPD device is frequently restarted, and the restart may also cause data loss in the processor, and finally the EPD device cannot operate or operates unstably.
The inventor of the present application finds that, when an EPD device fails, a power supply itself still works normally, but is not enough to support normal operation of the whole circuit system, so that the power management system cannot solve the problem that the EPD device fails to start up in a start-up stage or the device is frequently restarted in an operation stage, but can actively monitor through a device system program to solve the problem. To this end, an EPD device is provided in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 1, including: including power module 11, processor 12, switch control circuit 13 and EPD panel 14, wherein:
a power module 11 for supplying power to the processor 12 and for providing a start-up voltage to the EPD panel 14;
the processor 12 is used for detecting a monitoring voltage and sending a first control signal to the switch control circuit when the monitoring voltage is equal to or lower than a preset fault voltage threshold value; the monitoring voltage comprises an output voltage of the power module 11 or an input voltage of the EPD panel 14, and the preset fault voltage threshold is higher than a fault voltage value;
the switch control circuit 13 is used for disconnecting a path between the power module 11 and the EPD panel 14 according to the first control signal sent by the processor 12;
an EPD panel 14 for displaying.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the monitoring voltage is detected by the processor, and when the monitoring voltage is found to possibly cause the processor to be incapable of working normally, the switch control circuit is controlled to disconnect the path between the power module and the EPD panel, that is, the power supply of the EPD panel is closed, so that the problem that the starting of the EPD panel at the starting stage fails or the whole EPD device is restarted due to the fault at the running stage is fundamentally avoided, and the running of the EPD device can be more stable.
The preset fault voltage threshold is a reference value for detecting whether the monitoring voltage causes a device fault, and is slightly higher than a voltage value at which a fault is caused (fault voltage value). When the fault voltage is reached, the normal operation of the whole circuit system is not enough, so that the preset fault voltage threshold value is required to be set to be larger than the fault voltage value, and the power supply of the EPD panel is ensured to be cut off when the circuit system can still normally operate. The predetermined fault voltage threshold may be obtained from experimental tests.
After the embodiment of the disclosure is implemented, the number of times of restarting the EPD equipment is reduced, and the starting success rate is high; and data loss caused by restarting in the running process of the equipment can be avoided. By adopting the scheme, the refresh failure of the EPD panel can be actively monitored, and the defect that the program cannot be judged only by manually checking the screen condition in the prior art is overcome. When the scheme of the embodiment is used for monitoring the fault, the power supply is turned off, and then remedial measures for refreshing the EPD panel (refreshing the screen) are taken, so that the screen refreshing success rate can be greatly improved, and meanwhile, the EPD device is prevented from being restarted.

The first pole of the second switching device receives the first control signal or the second control signal sent by the processor 12, and turns off the connection between the second pole and the third pole of the second switching device according to the first control signal, and turns on the connection between the second pole and the third pole of the second switching device according to the second control signal. The second switching device is located in a circuit where the EPD panel is located and used for turning on or turning off a path between the voltage stabilizing module and the EPD panel.

The third switching device is located in a circuit where the voltage stabilizing module is located and used for conducting or turning off a path between the power supply module and the voltage stabilizing module.
In an exemplary embodiment, the second switching device and the third switching device may only turn off one, for example, only turn off the second switching device located between the voltage stabilization module and the EPD panel, because the voltage stabilization module output may also be connected to other functional modules, and turning off the second switching device may only cut off the power supply of the EPD screen, thereby preventing other functional modules from being affected.

The power consumption of the EPD device may be reduced by powering off other unnecessary functional modules.
The embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a control method suitable for the EPD device shown in fig. 1, as shown in fig. 2, including the following steps:

The monitoring function can be started when the starting is ensured, and the equipment is protected.
In an exemplary embodiment, when the switch control circuit includes a first switching device between the EPD panel and the power module, the processor sends the first control signal or the second control signal to the first switching device.

The probability of a boot failure may be reduced by booting other modules first and then booting the EPD panel last.
The present disclosure is illustrated by the following exemplary embodiments.
For example, fig. 3 is a circuit diagram of an EPD device, in which the lithium manganese battery is the power module 11, the MCU (micro control unit) is the processor 12, and the E-ink is the EPD panel (EPD screen). In the figure, DC-DC is a voltage stabilizing module.

step 41, the EPD device is started;
step 42, monitoring the power supply voltage V1;
step 43, judging whether the power supply voltage V1 is smaller than a preset fault voltage threshold value V2, if so, executing step 44, and if not, executing step 45;
