In order to keep the following description of the embodiments of the present disclosure clear and concise, the present disclosure omits a detailed description of some known functions and known components. The drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure relate only to the structures related to the embodiments of the present disclosure, and other structures may refer to the general design.
As described above, since the faults of the EPD device at the start-up and operation stage cannot be eliminated at present, only a restarting means can be adopted to ensure that the system program can still normally run downwards when the EPD device fails. However, the inventor of the present application found that, during the device start-up phase, the EPD device is restarted due to the EPD panel (EPD screen) start-up failure, which may cause the EPD device voltage to be unstable, thereby causing the EPD device restart failure. 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 also causes data loss in the processor, so that the EPD device cannot operate or is unstable in operation.
The inventor of the application finds that, when the EPD device fails, the power supply still works normally, but the normal operation of the whole circuit system is not supported, so that the power management system cannot solve the problem that the EPD device fails to start in the starting stage or the device frequently starts again in the running stage, but can be solved through active monitoring of the device system program. For this purpose, an EPD device is provided in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 1, including: comprises a power module 11, a processor 12, a switch control circuit 13 and an EPD panel 14, wherein:
a power module 11 for powering the processor 12 and for providing a starting voltage for the EPD panel 14;
a processor 12 for detecting a monitor voltage, and when the monitor voltage is equal to or lower than a preset fault voltage threshold, sending a first control signal to a switch control circuit; the monitoring voltage comprises the output voltage of the power module 11 or the input voltage of the EPD panel 14, and the preset fault voltage threshold is higher than the fault voltage value;
a switch control circuit 13 for disconnecting a path between the power module 11 and the EPD panel 14 according to the first control signal transmitted from the processor 12;
an EPD panel 14 for displaying.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the processor detects the monitoring voltage, when the monitoring voltage possibly causes that the processor cannot work normally, the control switch control circuit cuts off the passage between the power module and the EPD panel, namely, the power supply of the EPD panel is closed, so that the problem that the whole EPD device is restarted due to failure in starting or failure in running of the EPD panel in starting stage is fundamentally avoided, and the EPD device can run more stably.
The preset fault voltage threshold is a reference value for detecting whether the monitoring voltage will cause the equipment to malfunction, and is slightly higher than a voltage value (fault voltage value) when the malfunction is caused. 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 cut off when the circuit system can still normally operate. The preset fault voltage threshold may be derived from experimental testing.
After the embodiment of the disclosure is implemented, the restarting times of the EPD equipment are reduced, and the starting success rate is high; and the 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 can not judge only by manually checking the screen condition in the past is overcome. When the fault is detected through the scheme of the embodiment, the power supply is turned off first, and then remedial measures for refreshing the EPD panel (screen brushing) are taken, so that the success rate of screen brushing can be greatly improved, and restarting of the EPD device is avoided.
In an exemplary embodiment, the processor 12 may be further configured to report, early warning, and possibly fail, when the monitored voltage is equal to or lower than a preset failure voltage threshold.

The second switching device is located in a circuit where the EPD panel is located and is used for switching on or switching off a path between the voltage stabilizing module and the EPD panel. The first pole of the third 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 third switching device according to the first control signal, and turns on the connection between the second pole and the third pole of the third switching device according to the second control signal. The third switching device is located in a circuit where the voltage stabilizing module is located and is used for switching on or switching off a passage between the power supply module and the voltage stabilizing module.
In an exemplary embodiment, only one of the second switching device and the third switching device may be turned off, for example, only the second switching device between the voltage stabilizing module and the EPD panel may be turned off, because the voltage stabilizing module output may also be connected to other functional modules, and turning off the second switching device may achieve only cutting off the power of the EPD screen, thereby avoiding the other functional modules from being affected.

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

optionally, the processor may begin executing step 21 above upon initialization of the processor during the EPD device startup phase.
In step 22, in response to the monitored voltage being lower than a preset fault voltage threshold, a first control signal is sent to the switch control circuit 13, so that the switch control circuit 13 breaks the path between the power module 11 and the EPD panel 14.
In an exemplary embodiment, the method further comprises: and in response to the monitored voltage being higher than a preset fault voltage threshold, sending a second control signal to the switch control circuit 13, so that the switch control circuit 13 opens a path between the power supply module 11 and the EPD panel 14.

When the EPD device further includes a voltage stabilizing module, the switching control circuit includes a second switching device between the EPD panel and the voltage stabilizing module and a third switching device between the power module and the voltage stabilizing module, and at this time, the processor may transmit only the first control signal or the second control signal to the second switching device.

The probability of start failure can be reduced by starting the other modules first and starting the EPD panel last.
The present disclosure is described below by way of exemplary embodiments.
Fig. 3 is a circuit diagram of an EPD device, in which a lithium-manganese battery is the power module 11, an mcu (micro control unit) is the processor 12, and an e-ink is an EPD panel (EPD screen). In the figure, DC-DC is a voltage stabilizing module. In this example, the switch control circuit 13 may include only the switching device 1, or the switch control circuit 13 may include the switching device 1 and the switching device 2. When the switching control circuit 13 includes the switching device 1 and the switching device 2, when detecting that the monitor voltage is lower than the preset failure voltage threshold value, the first control signal may be sent to the switching device 1 and the switching device 2, respectively, to turn off both the switching device 1 and the switching device 2, or the first control signal may be sent only to the switching device 1 to turn off the switching device 1.
The control flow is as shown in fig. 4, and includes the following steps:
step 41, the epd device is activated;
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 V2, if yes, executing step 44, and if not, executing step 45;
fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of the power supply voltage at the time of the equipment start failure or restart failure, and the relationship between the failure voltage value V1 and the preset failure voltage threshold V2 is shown in the figure. The fault voltage threshold V2 is slightly higher than the fault voltage value V1. The fault voltage threshold V2 may be derived from experimental tests.
Step 44, closing E-Ink, and executing step 46;
the MCU controls the switching device 1 to actively disconnect the power supply of the EPD screen through the IO pin EPD_EN, so that the power supply can be ensured to be supplied to the MCU for work preferentially, and the restarting of the whole EPD equipment is avoided. After the E-Ink is closed, the MCU can report the fault condition, and then the E-Ink is brushed, so that the starting success rate is improved.
Step 45, starting E-Ink, and executing step 46;
in step 46, the device continues to perform other tasks, and the screen may be refreshed again as needed, returning to step 42.

The switching control circuit between other functional modules and the processor is added, so that branch control can be better realized, and the switching devices corresponding to the functional modules are disconnected when the corresponding functional modules are not required to be accessed, so that low power consumption is realized.
It should be noted that the voltage values and the current values shown in fig. 4 and 6 are only examples, and are not meant to limit the application, and other values may be used in other embodiments.
In the example, the switching device is added to enable the device to independently control power supply of different peripheral devices, and in the example, the power supply of the EPD electronic paper screen is controlled through the IO pin EPD_EN of the MCU, so that the power supply control of the branch circuit is realized.
In an exemplary embodiment, during the initialization process of the MCU of the device, the real-time monitoring of the power supply voltage V1 is preferentially turned on, then other peripherals are turned on, and finally the EPD screen is refreshed. The monitoring function can be guaranteed to be started at the position indicated by the arrow in fig. 5, the equipment is protected, and the refreshing success rate can be improved by refreshing the EPD screen finally.
In the exemplary embodiment, whether the EPD display screen is operating normally or not can also be judged by directly monitoring the current consumed by the EPD display screen (which can be realized by monitoring the input voltage of the EPD display screen), whether the normal operation of the CPU is affected or not is indirectly judged by whether the excessive current occurs, and whether the EPD display screen is refreshed normally or not can be directly judged by this mode.
