Please refer to FIG. 28, FIG. 29 and FIG. 31. The locking member 530 includes a button 512, a tongue-shaped protrusion 516 and a locking block 504. The button 512 is sleeved in the button hole 533, allowing the button 512 to slide relative to the button hole 533. One end of the tongue-shaped protrusion 516 is connected to the side of the button 512 adjacent to the closed cavity, and the other end of the tongue-shaped protrusion 516 is arranged on the side of the locking hole 514 away from the vertical part 532. An inclination angle is formed between the tongue-shaped protrusion 516 and the horizontal direction away from the vertical part 532. The inclination angle ranges from 0 to 90°. In one embodiment, the inclination angle is, for example, 45°. In one embodiment, the other end surface of the tongue-shaped protrusion 516 is parallel to the vertical part 532. The locking block 504 is sleeved on the tongue-shaped protrusion 516, and the locking block 504 is arranged vertically. One end of the locking block 504 is aligned with the locking hole 514 and the end of the locking block 504 can be telescopic in the locking hole 514. The other end of the locking block 504 close to the locking hole 514 is provided with a slope to fit the locking groove 503 on the first locking unit 501. The button 512 slides relative to the button hole 533, driving the tongue-shaped protrusion 516 to move in the horizontal direction. Since the tongue-shaped protrusion 516 is inclined upward, the distance from the joint of the locking block 504 and the tongue-shaped protrusion 516 to the horizontal part 531 of the locking base 509 changes continuously, causing the end of the locking block 504 close to the locking hole 514 to stretch and contract in the locking hole 514, that is, the end of the locking block 504 close to the locking hole 514 is lower or higher than locking hole 514. When the end of the locking block 504 close to the locking hole 514 is higher than the locking hole 514, the locking block 504 at least partially exposes from the locking hole 514. The width of the locking block 504 is, for example, from 16 mm to 25 mm. In some embodiments, the distance from the locking block 504 to the vertical part 532 is 8 mm-15 mm. In an embodiment, the distance from the locking block 504 to the vertical part 532 is from 10 mm to 13 mm, for example 11.6 mm. The thickness of the locking block 504 is, for example, from 2 mm to 6 mm. In an embodiment, the thickness of the locking block 504 is from 3 mm to 5 mm, for example, 4.4 mm.
Please refer to FIG. 28, FIG. 29 and FIG. 31. In some embodiments, when the button 512 drives the tongue-shaped protrusion 516 to move closer to the button hole 533, the joint of the locking block 504 and the tongue-shaped protrusion 516 moves away from the horizontal part 531 of the locking base 509, the locking block 504 moves toward the direction of the locking hole 514, so that the locking block 504 exposes from the locking hole 514. When the button 512 drives the tongue-shaped protrusion 516 to move away from the button hole 533, the joint of the locking block 504 and the tongue-shaped protrusion 516 moves close to the horizontal part 531 of the locking base 509, and the locking block 504 moves away from the locking hole 514 so that the inclined end surface of the locking block 504 is flush with the plane where the locking hole 514 is located.
Please refer to FIGS. 28, 29, 31 to 33. In some embodiments, the second locking unit 502 also includes an elastic member (not shown), and the elastic member is provided on a side of the tongue-shaped protrusion 516 close to the horizontal part 531 of the locking base 509. The elastic member is connected between the button 512 and the locking cover 513, and the elastic force direction of the elastic member is parallel to the horizontal part 531 of the locking base 509. The elastic member is, for example, a spring. In one embodiment, the button 512 pulls or pushes the tongue-shaped protrusion 516 through the stretching or compression of the spring, so that the button 512 drives the tongue-shaped protrusion 516 to move closer to or away from the button hole 533.
Please refer to FIGS. 26 to 33. During use, when the locking member 530 is in an initial position, the second locking unit 502 moves along the first locking unit 501 in the horizontal direction. During the movement, the multiple sliding ribs in the first locking unit 501 are interspersed with the multiple matching sliding ribs in the second locking unit 502. When the inclined end surface of the locking block 504 contacts the bottom surface of the charging device 1, under a pressure action of the bottom surface of the charging device 1, the locking block 504 gradually moves away from the bottom surface of the charging device 1, and the joint between the locking block 504 and the tongue-shaped protrusion 516 approaches the horizontal part 531 of the locking base 509, and then drives the tongue-shaped protrusion 516 to move away from the side of the button hole 533. At this time, the elastic member gradually changes from the initial state to the compression state until the locking block 504 drops to a position flush with the plane of the locking hole 514. The second locking unit 502 and the first locking unit 501 continues to move relatively in the horizontal direction. When the end of the locking block 504 close to the locking hole 514 is aligned with the locking groove 503 on the bottom surface of the charging device 1, the pressure of the bottom surface of the charging device 1 exerted on the locking block 504 disappears. Then the elastic member gradually resets, that is, it returns from the compressed state to the initial state. The elastic member pushes the button 512 to slide toward the button hole 533. The movement of the button 512 drives the tongue-shaped protrusion 516 to move closer to the button hole 533. The joint between the locking block 504 and the tongue-shaped protrusion 516 gradually moves away from the direction of the horizontal part 531 of the locking base 509, and then the locking block 504 moves in the direction towards the locking hole 514 until the elastic member is reset, and the locking member 530 returns to its initial position. At this time, the locking block 504 exposes from the locking hole 514 and is inserted into the locking groove 503 to achieve fixed locking of the first locking unit 501 and the second locking unit 502. The multiple sliding ribs in the first locking unit 501 and the multiple matching sliding ribs in the second locking unit 502 are interspersed and matched, so that the locking structure 522 has good structural strength and small gaps, which avoids shake of the first locking unit 501 and the second locking unit 502 after being locked, which improves the stability and safety of the structure.
Referring to FIGS. 26 to 33, when the first locking unit 501 and the second locking unit 502 need to be unlocked and disengaged, the button 512 can be pressed, and the tongue-shaped protrusion 516 is driven by pressing the button 512 gradually to move away from the button hole 533, the elastic member gradually changes from the initial state to the compressed state, and the joint between the locking block 504 and the tongue-shaped protrusion 516 gradually approaches the horizontal part 531 of the locking base 509, and the locking block 504 gradually moves away from the locking hole 514, so that the locking block 504 drops to a position flush with the plane of the locking hole 514. Then, the first locking unit 501 and the second locking unit 502 are unlocked, the first locking unit 501 and the second locking unit 502 may be moved in opposite directions along the horizontal direction, so that the multiple sliding ribs in the first locking unit 501 and the multiple matching sliding ribs in the second locking unit 502 are disengaged, and then the first locking unit 501 and the second locking unit 502 are disengaged.

Through the battery capacity calculation and detection circuit, the current working ratio, estimated battery life and other information are obtained, then fed back to the main controller through the communication component, and then displayed by the display screen.
The embodiment also provides a charging man-machine interaction display system. The difference of this system from the above-mentioned system is that the display system mainly includes: a display module, and a detection module for obtaining charging information. The charging information at least includes battery capacity information, charging real-time status information, and charging prediction information or a combination thereof.

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 47. The disclosure provides a drive control circuit, and the drive control circuit is, for example, provided on the circuit board of the charging device 1, and is used to control the charging device 1 to charge/discharge electronic device, or to charge the circuit board. In some embodiments, the drive control circuit includes: a plurality of converter modules 210 and an output module 220.
Each of the plurality of the converter modules 210 includes a primary coil and a first control unit. The output terminal of the primary coil is connected to the first control unit. The input terminal of the primary coil is used to receive a drive signal, and two adjacent converter modules 210 are connected in parallel. For example, the number of converter modules 210 can be set to 2, 3, . . . , n, n≥2 and n is positive integer. Without changing the structure of the drive control circuit and adding additional components, multiple primary coils are added to store more energy. When each of the primary coils needs to release energy to the outside, the output power of the primary coil to the outside will be increased.
The output module 220 includes a secondary coil. Each of the primary coils is matched with the secondary coil. When output power is required to be driven, the input terminal of the primary coil is connected to the drive signal. The first control unit controls the output terminal of the primary coil to be conducted. When the primary coil completes energy storage, the first control unit controls the output terminal of the primary coil to be disconnected. At this time, the magnetic induction intensity of the primary coil changes, thereby stimulating the secondary coil to complete energy conversion. After completing the energy conversion, the secondary coil outputs power to the outside, and saves more energy by connecting multiple primary coils in parallel, thereby achieving the purpose of increasing the output power of the secondary coil without adding redundant components and effectively reducing costs.
Please refer to FIG. 48. The disclosure also provides an implementation scheme of a drive control circuit. This embodiment uses two converter modules as an example. During the implementation process, it can be determined according to specific product requirements and actual working conditions to select the number of converter modules/primary coils. For example, the drive control circuit includes three converter modules/primary coils. For example, the drive control circuit includes four or more converter modules/primary coils. Refer to FIG. 48, the drive signal is input through DC-IN. Since the primary coils T1 and T2 are set in parallel, and the input terminals of the primary coils T1 and T2 are connected to the drive signal, the first controller Q1 and Q2 respectively conduct the output ends of the primary coils T1 and T2, therefore, the primary coils T1 and T2 form a path and store energy in the primary coils T1 and T2. When the primary coils T1 and T2 store energy, the electrical energy of the drive signal will be converted to electromagnetic energy. When the primary coils T1 and T2 complete energy storage, the first controllers Q1 and Q2 perform circuit-breaking control on the output terminals of the primary coils T1 and T2 respectively. At this time, electromagnetic energy stored by the primary coils T1 and T2 attenuates and changes, and then the primary coils T1 and T2 convert the electromagnetic energy into electrical energy with the secondary coil TO, and finally the drive control of output power in one cycle is completed. Because when the drive circuit is connected, the total resultant impedance in the drive control circuit is low, so the heat loss is correspondingly small. At the same time, the temperature rise caused by the resistance loss will also be reduced. For example, temperature rise can be reduced by about 30%.
Please refer to FIG. 48. In order to provide over-current protection to the output terminals of the primary coils T1 and T2, and in order to absorb the reverse peak voltage when the output terminals of the primary coils T1 and T2 are cut off, the converter module also includes a first diode, the input terminal of the first diode is connected to the output terminal of the primary coil, and the output terminal of the first diode is connected to the first control unit. For example, a first diode D1 is provided at the output terminal of the primary coil T1, the input terminal of the first diode D1 is connected to the output terminal of the primary coil T1, and the output terminal of the first diode D1 is connected to the first controller Q1. A first diode D2 is set at the output terminal of the primary coil T2, the input terminal of the first diode D2 is connected to the output terminal of the primary coil T2, and the output end first diode D2 is connected to the first controller Q2. At the same time, the first diode D1 and the first diode D2 can also be set as isolation diodes, and interference problem caused by the difference between the primary coils T1 and T2 can also be eliminated. By arranging two primary coils T1 and T2 in parallel, the output power can be increased by 45% to 64%, and the cost will only increase by about 5%, which has good product performance and cost advantages.
Please refer to FIG. 48. In order to further absorb the reverse peak voltage when the output terminals of the primary coils T1 and T2 are disconnected, an RC circuit unit is provided between the input terminal and the output terminal of the primary coil. This avoids the instantaneous reverse peak voltage caused by the primary coil being cut off, and also avoids the breakdown effect on the entire drive control circuit.
Please refer to FIG. 48. In order to prevent the RC circuit unit from absorbing too much energy stored in the primary coil and to avoid reducing the output power of the driver, the RC circuit unit includes a first resistor, a first capacitor and a second diode. The first resistor and the first capacitor are connected in parallel, and the first resistor and the first capacitor are both connected in series with the output terminal of the second diode, and the input terminal of the second diode is connected to the output terminal of the primary coil. For example, in a first converter module, the RC circuit unit includes a first resistor R1, a first capacitor C1 and a second diode D3. When the primary coil T1 completes energy storage and the output end is turned off, the primary coil T1 releases energy to the secondary coil TO, and the second diode D3 conducts the released energy in one-way direction. The first diode D1, the first resistor R1, and the first capacitor C1 absorb the reverse peak voltage. For example, in a second converter module, the RC circuit unit includes the first resistor R2, the first capacitor C2 and the second diode D4. When the primary coil T2 completes energy storage and the output terminal is cut off, the primary coil T2 releases energy to the secondary coil TO, the second diode D4 conducts the released energy in one-way direction, the first diode D2, the first resistor R2, and the first capacitor C2 absorb the reverse peak voltage. Then the primary coil T1 and the primary coil T2 simultaneously releases energy to the secondary coil TO and completes a cycle of output power drive control.
Please refer to FIG. 48. In order to balance the response sequence between two adjacent converter modules and adjust the difference in output power, the drive control circuit also includes a second resistor. The second resistor is connected to output ends of the adjacent two the primary coils respectively. For example, a second resistor RD can be arranged between the output ends of the primary coil T1 and the primary coil T2. For another example, one end of the second resistor RD is arranged between the output terminal of the first diode D1 and the first controller Q1, the other end of the second resistor RD is arranged between the output terminal of the first diode D2 and the first controller Q2.
In order to facilitate the signal control of the first control unit and the conduction and disconnection of the output terminal of the primary coil, the first control unit includes at least one of the following: a field effect transistor, a relay, and a transfer switch. For example, the field effect transistor can be a MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor). For another example, the control unit includes a signal input terminal, a signal output terminal and a signal control terminal. The signal input terminal is connected to the output terminal of the secondary coil, and the signal output terminal is connected to the ground wire of the converter module. The signal control terminal is used to receive the control signal. For example, the signal input terminal and the signal output terminal may be the source or drain of a field effect transistor, and the signal control terminal may be the gate of the field effect transistor. A control signal can be applied to the gate of the field effect transistor to achieve a conduction between the source and drain, a control signal can also be applied to the gate of the field effect transistor to achieve cutoff or disconnection between the source and drain. For example, the signal input terminal and the signal output terminal may be the input terminal and the output terminal of a normally closed relay. The control signal controls the closing and opening of the signal control terminal of the normally closed relay to control the conduction and disconnection of the primary coil. For another example, the first control unit can also be a normally closed transfer switch. When the primary coil needs to store energy, the output terminal of the primary coil is turned on. When the primary coil needs to release energy to the secondary coil, the output terminal of the primary coil can be turned off through switching the first control unit from normally closed to normally open.
Please refer to FIG. 48. In order to control the control signal, the converter module also includes a second control unit. The second control unit includes a control signal input terminal GATE, a third resistor RS and a fourth diode DR, and the third resistor RS are respectively connected in series with each of the signal control terminals. For example, the third resistor RS is connected in series with the signal control terminal of the first controller Q1 and the third resistor RS is connected in series with the signal control terminal of the first controller Q2. The input terminal of the fourth diode DR is connected to each of the signal control terminals, and the output terminal of the fourth diode DR is connected to the control signal input terminal GATE.

S111: Connect a drive signal to the input terminals of a plurality of primary coils, and store energy for the primary coils. The energy storage process of each primary coil is: the electric energy of the drive signal converts to the electromagnetic energy of the primary coil. In the process of energy conversion, two adjacent primary coils are connected in parallel, and the stimulus of the drive signal can be received through the parallel arrangement of the plurality of the primary coils, thereby completing energy storage in the primary coils. Energy storage stored in the primary coils can be increased without changing the circuit structure and adding redundant components, and the output power can be increased when the primary coil releases energy to the secondary coil.
S112: When each of the primary coils completes energy storage, the output terminal of each of the primary coils is disconnected. At this time, the electromagnetic energy stored in each of the primary coils gradually decays.
S113: The primary coils during decaying excites the secondary coil, and the conversion of electromagnetic energy into electrical energy and power output are occurred in the secondary coil. Each of the primary coils releases energy to the secondary coil, completing one cycle of the drive control of output power. The output power which is generated by driving of released energy from parallel-connected primary coils to the secondary coil is increased.
In order to facilitate the control of the output terminal of each primary coil and satisfy the drive control of energy storage and energy release of each parallel primary coil, on/off of the output terminal of each primary coil is controlled through a first control unit.

A control signal can be applied to the gate of the field effect transistor to achieve a conduction between the source and drain, a control signal can also be applied to the gate of the field effect transistor to achieve cutoff or disconnection between the source and drain. For example, the signal input terminal and the signal output terminal may be the input terminal and the output terminal of a normally closed relay. The control signal controls the closing and opening of the signal control terminal of the normally closed relay to control the conduction and disconnection of the primary coil. For another example, the first control unit can also be a normally closed transfer switch. When the primary coil needs to store energy, the output terminal of the primary coil is turned on. When the primary coil needs to release energy to the secondary coil, the output terminal of the primary coil can be turned off through switching the first control unit from normally closed to normally open.
In order to further control the response of the signal control terminal, the control signal is generated by a second control unit to control the signal control terminal.

For example, the required power (30 W) of the load O corresponding to the output port Q is greater than the output power (25 W) of the output port Q, and the required power (30 W) of the load E corresponding to the output port P is less than the output power (45 W) of the output port P, the required power (50 W) of the load F corresponding to the output port R is less than the output power (54 W) of the output port R, then the output port Q and the output port R are regarded as a set of to-be-complementary output ports.

It should be noted that each output port in the circuit for intelligent allocation of charging power in the embodiment can output the same or different voltages at the same time, and will not be affected by the feedback signal of the main power supply (primary winding). The output feedback signal source is independent primary feedback.
As shown in FIG. 59, the following takes a three-output port as an example to illustrate the circuit for intelligent allocation of charging power provided by this embodiment. The specific circuit for intelligent allocation of charging power includes: a primary winding T, a first secondary winding N1, a second secondary winding N2, a third secondary winding N3, a first secondary winding control switch S1 corresponding to the first secondary winding N1, a second secondary winding control switch S2 corresponding to the second secondary winding N2, a third secondary winding control switch S3 corresponding to the third secondary winding N3, an output port OUT1 corresponding to the first secondary winding N1, an output port OUT2 corresponding to the second secondary winding N2, an output port OUT3 corresponding to the three secondary windings N3, a power complementary circuit, and a control module. The power complementary circuit mainly composed of an one-way output module D1, a power complementary control switch SSR1, an one-way output module D2, a power complementary control switch SSR2, an one-way output module D3, a power complementary control switch SSR3, an one-way output module D4, and a power complementary control switch SSR4. Wherein, the control module is respectively connected to OUT1, OUT2, OUT3, a control terminal DR1 of SSR1, a control terminal DR2 of SSR2, a control terminal DR3 of SSR3, a control terminal DR4 of SSR4, a control terminal SG1 of S1, a control terminal SG2 of S2 and a control terminal SG3 of S3. An output terminal of D1 is connected to OUT2 through SSR1, an input terminal of D1 is connected to the first secondary winding N1. An output terminal of D2 is connected to OUT3 through SSR2, an input terminal of D2 is connected to the second secondary winding N2. An output terminal of D3 is connected to OUT2 through SSR4, an input terminal of D3 is connected to the third secondary winding N3. The output terminal of D4 is connected to OUT1 through SSR3, the input terminal of D4 is connected to the second secondary winding N2.
The specific circuit for intelligent allocation of charging power in the embodiment has three output ports, namely OUT1\OUT2\OUT3. The three output ports can output different voltages at the same time and will not be affected by the feedback signal of the main power supply. The output feedback signal source is independent primary feedback.
Optional, if the working state of the power complementary control switches in at least one power complementary switch group are different (one switch is on, one switch is off), and the secondary winding control switches corresponding to the two output ports (M and N) connected to the power complementary switch group are both in the on state, that is, the output port M and the output port N are in the normal conduction state, and there is a complementary output power of the output port M to the output port N or there is a complementary output power of the output port N to the output port M. The circuit for intelligent allocation of charging power works in the complementary mode. Since the power complementation is based on a certain voltage difference, the current can flow from the high voltage complementary winding to the low voltage complementary winding. When the voltages of the two groups are the same, it means that the loads are almost equal. Then the circuit can work in dual modes, one mode is the complementary mode and the other is the normal mode. The normal mode means that there is no power complementation between the two ports.
The specific working principle of the circuit for intelligent allocation of charging power is as follows:
- assuming that when the OUT1 winding is to output 40 W power of 20V2A, the specific circuit for intelligent allocation of charging power will close S1 to allow the secondary winding N1 to output normally, and the secondary windings N2 and N3 are cut off from the circuit via S2 and S3. The control method of working state of the output ports OUT2 and OUT3 is similar to that of OUT1, and will not be described again here.
Assuming that the OUT2 output port is a low-voltage and low-power output winding, then when the two windings OUT1 and OUT2 are to output power at the same time. Due to differences in circuit design, the output power of the two groups may be limited by the output balance rate, which may cause the output power of OUT1 and OUT2 is not required by the load. At this time, the specific circuit for intelligent allocation of charging power will transmit the actual output data to the control module based on the independent detection circuit of each output circuit. The control module will compare S1\S2 and DR1\DR3 of SSR1\SSR3 in the output signal drive circuit through data comparison, and respectively control the output power complementation between the two independent output ports OUT1 and OUT2.
The working principle of circuit complementation is as follows:
If OUT1 and OUT2 output at the same time, when the output power of OUT1 is not enough and the output power of OUT2 is too high, the circuit will turn on S2 according to the detection result. The drive signal RD3 of SSR3 will convert OUT1 and OUT2 from independent working mode to parallel mode. Since the output power of OUT1 is insufficient, when OUT2 and OUT1 are connected in parallel, the output power of the N2 winding sends the excess energy to the output port OUT1 of the N1 winding through the output port OUT2, realizing that excess energy of OUT2 is complementary to OUT1. When there is excess power in the OUT1 winding and not enough energy in OUT2, the circuit will turn off the drive signal DR3 of SSR3, cut out the OUT2 of the N2 winding from the circuit of OUT1, turn on the drive signal DR1 of SSR1, and connect the OUT1 of the N1 winding to the circuit of OUT2, then the remaining energy of OUT1 is complementary to OUT2 of the N2 winding through the D2 diode to achieve complementation.
In the same way, the energy complementary principle between OUT1\OUT2∛OUT3 of the N1\N2\N3 winding can be deduced in the same way, and will not be repeated here.
Optional, if the output voltages of OUT1 and OUT2 are the same, the circuit for intelligent allocation of charging power will decide how to turn on SSR3 and SSR1 based on the voltage rise and change of OUT1 and OUT2, the purpose of which is to always keep the two outputs at basically the same level. Assuming that one of the batteries connected to the two output ports OUT1 and OUT2 has a large capacity and the other has a small capacity, then the voltage of the battery with the large capacity will rise slowly, and the voltage of the battery with the small capacity will rise quickly, so in this case, the circuit will naturally distribute the energy output by the port with the small battery capacity to the battery with the large capacity connected to the ports OUT1 and OUT2 through SSR3 or SSR1. That is to say, the circuit for intelligent allocation of charging power can work in dual modes, i.e. complementary mode and normal mode.
In some exemplary embodiments, the working state of the load can be detected using the existing detection circuit. By detecting the current and voltage, the control module obtains these current and voltage data, and then determines whether the output power of each output port is excessive or insufficient, in order to correspondingly control the on or off of the power complementary control switch in the corresponding power complementary circuit.
Refer to FIG. 60. FIG. 60 is a block diagram of the working principle of a circuit for intelligent allocation of charging power taking three output ports as an example. The control module takes a central processor as an example, the one-way output group takes a complementary diode array as an example, and the power complementary circuit takes the complementary SSR switching system as an example.
The circuit for intelligent allocation of charging power provided in one embodiment can be applied to vacuum cleaners, electric mops, sweeping robots, garden tools, electric tool chargers, chargers and other equipment.
The circuit for intelligent allocation of charging power provided by this embodiment helps to fixedly allocate the maximum output power to each output port, which can be applied to any multi-port charger or charging equipment, and can ensure that each output port of the charger does not output too large power and may not affect the maximum power of the total power supply, making the multi-function and multi-port charger more reliable and stable.
The circuit for intelligent allocation of charging power is based on feedback from the same charging power converter module (power supply module), which is fed back by the power supply module's autonomous wide-circuit feedback for self-control and total output power, with no interference or constraints from other feedback signal input.
The way to realize intelligent power allocation in the circuit for intelligent allocation of charging power in one embodiment of the disclosure is to control the output control circuits with the same output voltage, realize energy adjustment of multiple output ports through the control module, and drive different adjusted high-frequency switch tubes (the power complementary control switch in the power complementary circuit). And there is only one inductor in the circuit for intelligent allocation of charging power as an energy storage and copying device. The electromagnetic induction between different windings is inducted to realize the complementation of the output power of different loops to achieve regulation and control of intelligence allocation of power.
The circuit of the disclosure works in high-frequency mode and adopts an interleaved driving method. Only one control module is provided to obtain the working state of the output loops of different output ports, such as current and voltage, and determine the on and off of each power complementary switch in the power complementary switch group based on the working state of each output loop. Each independent output circuit has an on-off switch (secondary winding control switch). At the same time, each output circuit has complementary and adaptive diodes (one-way output group) with other output circuits.
In some exemplary embodiments, the power complementary circuit uses the unidirectional conductivity of the diode and the SSR solid-state switching system to form a working principle of output power complementary which is a mutually isolated and cooperative.
Through the control of power complementary circuits, originally independent output ports can realize that different power output ports can cooperate with each other in parallel when necessary, and the output ports and the circuits corresponding to the output ports will not affect each other.
The circuit for intelligent allocation of charging power in one embodiment truly realizes intelligent power allocation between multiple windings and a single transformer, which is adjustable in real time.
The circuit for intelligent allocation of charging power provided in one embodiment can solve the problem of output imbalance of multiple sets of output power supply products. It realizes the function of multiple outputs and independent adjustment by adding a few components, and does not need to design a unique BUCK circuit. It can be used in situations where the output power is large, and it is also suitable for situations where the output power is small, which has a wide range of application scenarios and improves circuit conversion efficiency and output power utilization.
In some exemplary embodiments, when designing a multi-output multi-winding transformer, the number of turns of multiple windings of the transformer can be set to a same number of turns according to the design input parameters. There is no need to design separate transformer turns for each different output voltage channel.
In some exemplary embodiments, when the output power between the output ports is complementary, the two secondary windings are connected in parallel, which can effectively reduce the heating of the transformer coil and reduce the iron loss of the transformer.

- determining power differences of each output port to receive charging power and each output port to compensate charging power; and
- pairing each output port to receive charging power and output port to compensate charging power according to the power differences, and determining at least one set of to-be-complementary output ports.
The output port to receive charging power is the output port corresponding to the load of which output power is less than the required power. The output port to compensate charging power is the output port corresponding to the load of which output power is greater than the required power. The power difference is the output power minus the required power.
In some exemplary embodiments, pairing each output port to receive charging power and output port to compensate charging power according to the power differences may be achieved by selecting two output ports with power differences of opposite signs and similar absolute values. Or the pairing may be achieved by selecting two output ports with power differences that meet a preset threshold. The preset threshold can be set by those skilled in the art as needed, such as 0, 0.6, etc.

The technical effects achieved by this method of intelligent allocation of charging power are similar to those of the circuit for intelligent allocation of charging power in the above embodiment, and will not be described again here.
Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 63. This embodiment provides a charging device 1 for method and circuit for intelligent allocation of charging power, which realizes intelligent allocation of charging power and adjusts power allocation in a timely manner according to the conditions of the load (charged equipment). The charging device 1 can output multiple voltages at the same time, which can not only charge the specific vacuum cleaner 6 and battery pack 3, but also charge more common electronic devices, such as tablets and computers.
As shown in FIG. 63, in another embodiment of the disclosure, the circuit for charging energy distribution includes a charging circuit 712, a plurality of output ports 717 and a control module 713. The charging circuit 712 includes a power switch array 714 and an anti-backflow switch array 715;
The power switch array 714 includes at least two power switches. The input end of the power switch is connected to the alternating current-direct current power supply module (AC-DC power supply module) 711 for controlling the working state of the output port 717;
The anti-backflow switch array 715 includes at least two anti-backflow switch groups 716. The input end of the anti-backflow switch group 716 is connected to the output end of the power switch. The output end of the anti-backflow switch group 716 is connected to the output port 717. The control end of the anti-backflow switch group 716 is connected to the control module 713 to prevent reverse current.
The control module 713 is used to obtain the charging state of the charged device 718 of each output port 717, and control the on or off of each power switch and each anti-backflow switch group 716 according to the charging state to achieve distribution of charging energy.
In some embodiments, if there is a target charged device, the control module controls the power switch and the anti-backflow switch group corresponding to the target charged device to be turned on, and the control module controls the remaining power switches and the remaining anti-backflow switch groups to be turned off, where, the target charged device is the charged device of which charging state reaches the preset charging state.
In some embodiments, if the charging state of the target charged device deviates from the preset charging state, the control module controls each power switch and each anti-backflow switch group to be turned on.
In some exemplary embodiments, the control module controls each power switch and each anti-backflow switch group to be turned on, that is, all power switches and all anti-backflow switch groups are turned on. Then the circuit for charging energy distribution performs normal charging mode. When working in normal charging mode, the circuit provides a maximum output charging power (energy). The charged device connected to the circuit enters the CC or CV mode for charging according to its own voltage state. The current allocated to the output port is determined by the voltage of the charged device, the one with high voltage is allocated a small charging current, and the one with low voltage is allocated a large current, which is actually an adaptive charging mode.
If among the charging states of each charged device obtained by the control module, the charging state of at least one charged device reaches the preset charging state, the control module controls the charging circuit corresponding to the charged device of which the charging state reaches the preset charging state to be turned on and controls the charging circuits corresponding to the remaining charged devices of which the charging states have not reached the preset charging state to be turned off, in order to charge the charged device of which the charging state has reached the preset charging state with concentrated power, which can provide better charging services to key charged device and improve customer experience. For example, the charging state includes the remaining power, and the preset charging state includes the remaining power being less than 10%. For a charged device with less than 10% remaining power, charging is often urgently needed to reach a safer remaining power state. Therefore, charging energy can be allocated to give priority to the charging needs of such charged device and the charging of remaining charged devices may be suspended. Once the remaining power of the charged device reaches more than 10%, the “charging priority treatment” for the charged device will be cancelled, the charged device and remaining charged devices in the circuit for charging energy distribution are charged equally, that is, charging of all charged devices is started.
In some exemplary embodiments, the charging state of the charged device can be monitored through existing relevant technical means, which is not limited here.
In some exemplary embodiments, the charging state includes but is not limited to at least one of remaining power, charging priority, remaining power change speed, remaining power available time, etc. Where the remaining power is the current battery power of the charged device, and the remaining power can be expressed in terms of current battery level, percentage of current remaining power, etc. The charging priority can be a pre-set priority for a specific charged device. The remaining power change speed can be a regular or real-time monitoring of the remaining power of the charged device, then the changing speed of the remaining power of the charged device can be determined; for example, if the remaining power is monitored once every 1 minute, if the remaining power increases by 0.3% obtained by comparing the two adjacent monitoring results, it can be considered that the remaining power changing speed is 0.3%/min; if, the remaining power decreases by 0.3% obtained by comparing two adjacent monitoring results, the remaining power change speed can be considered to be −0.3%/min. The remaining power available time is an estimated value, which can be determined based on the history using data and/or current output power, etc. of the charged device.
Optional, the preset charging state includes but is not limited to at least one of the following:
- the remaining power is less than the preset minimum remaining power;
- the remaining power change speed is less than 0;
- the remaining power change speed is less than a preset change speed threshold, and the preset change speed threshold is greater than 0;
- the priority of the charged device is higher than a preset priority threshold; and
- the remaining power available time is less than a preset minimum available time, etc.
Sometimes the charged device is used while charging. If the charging power currently allocated to the charged device is small and insufficient to support its use needs, then the remaining power change speed may also be less than 0. At this time, when this type of “demand exceeds supply” and the support of greater charging power is urgently needed to meet the normal use of the charged device, the control module can be used to control the power switch and anti-backflow switch group corresponding to the charged device to be turned on and control the power switches and anti-backflow switch groups of all remaining charged devices to be turned off. When the remaining power change speed of the charged device is greater than 0 and greater than the preset change speed threshold, it means that the operation of the charged device has returned to “normal”. Then the power switch and the anti-backflow switch group corresponding to each charged device can be turned on through the control module, which starts the normal charging mode.
In some exemplary embodiments, the anti-backflow switch group includes at least two anti-backflow switches.
In some exemplary embodiments, anti-backflow switches include field effect tubes, such as MOST power switch tubes, etc.
In some exemplary embodiments, the anti-backflow switch group includes one first power switch tube and one second power switch tube connected in series, where a first end of the first power switch tube is connected to the output end of the power switch, and a second end of the first power switch tube is connected to a first end of the second power switch tube, a third end of the first power switch tube is connected to the control module, a second end of the second power switch tube is connected to the output port, and a third end of the second power switch tube is connected to the control module.
In some exemplary embodiments, the anti-backflow switch group includes at least two MOST power switch tubes, or one or more diodes.
It should be noted that the charged device includes, but is not limited to, at least one of rechargeable batteries, rechargeable devices, etc.
In some exemplary embodiments, the anti-backflow switch group includes a first anti-backflow end connected to the output end of the power switch and a second anti-backflow end connected to the output port. When the voltage of the first anti-backflow end is higher than the voltage of the second anti-backflow end and the control module controls the anti-backflow switch group to be turned on, the anti-backflow switch group is turned on. Otherwise, when the voltage of the first anti-backflow end is not higher than the voltage of the second anti-backflow end or the control module controls the anti-backflow switch group to be turned off, then the anti-backflow switch group is turned off.
Referring to FIG. 64, in other embodiments, the circuit for charging energy distribution also includes: an energy complementary switch array 719.
The energy complementary switch array 719 includes at least one energy distribution switch 720. A first end of the energy distribution switch 720 is connected to the output end of one power switch, and the second end of the energy distribution switch 720 is connected to the output end of another power switch, in order to control the energy distribution between the output ports 717. The control module 713 is also used to control the on or off of the energy distribution switch 720.
In some exemplary embodiments, continue to refer to FIG. 64. One energy distribution switch is connected to the output ends of two power switches. When there are multiple power switches, each energy distribution switch in the energy complementary switch array is connected to the output terminals of two power switches respectively, the output ends of any two power switches are connected to one energy distribution switch. If there are N power switches, that is, N ports, the number of energy distribution switches is at least N. The output terminals of any two power switches can also correspond to one or more energy distribution switches. The energy distribution switches can be in one-way conduction or multi-way conduction.
In some embodiments, the charging state includes battery voltage. If the voltage difference between the batteries of the first charged device and the second charged device exceeds a preset voltage difference threshold, the control module controls the energy distribution switch connecting the first charged device and the second charged device to be turned on, so as to realize that the first charged device charges the second charged device, and the voltage of the battery of the first charged device is higher than the voltage of the battery of the second charged device.
It should be noted that the first charged device and the second charged device may be any two charged devices among the charged devices connected to the circuit for charging energy distribution. The above-mentioned “first” and “second” do not specifically refer to two charged devices, but for clarity of reference, the charged devices having voltage difference between the two batteries exceeds the preset voltage difference threshold are named the first charged device and the second charged device.
If the voltage difference between the batteries of the charged devices A and B exceeds the preset voltage difference threshold, in order to achieve a certain charging balance for each charged device in the circuit, the energy distribution switch between the output ends of the power switches of the two charged devices A and B is controlled to be turned on. Due to the existence of the voltage difference, the charged device with a higher battery voltage can complementarily charge the charged device with a lower battery voltage, thereby enabling all charged devices connected to the circuit to work stably. The preset voltage difference threshold may be a preset maximum allowable voltage difference between the charged circuits in the circuit for charging energy distribution, such as 0.5V.
It should be noted that if the circuit for charging energy distribution includes an energy complementary switch array, the anti-backflow switch in the circuit for charging energy distribution includes a MOST power switch tube.
Please refer to FIG. 65, which is a block diagram of the working principle of the circuit for charging energy distribution provided by the embodiment of the disclosure. As shown in FIG. 65, the circuit for charging energy distribution has three working states: a normal charging mode, a directional charging energy distribution mode and an energy complementary mode. When the control module recognizes that the charging state of the charged device M connected to a certain output port reaches the preset charging state, such as its remaining power is less than 50%, the circuit for charging energy distribution is adjusted to enter the directional charging energy distribution mode, and then the power switch and anti-backflow switch group corresponding to the charging device M are turned on and remaining power switches and anti-backflow switch groups are turned off, so as to charge the charged device M with the maximum charging power. After the charged device M is charged for a period of time, if the charged device M leaves the preset charging state, such as its remaining power is higher than 50%, the circuit for charging energy distribution is adjusted to enter the normal charging mode, and the power switch and anti-backflow switch group are corresponding to each charged device are turned off. At this time, the circuit for charging energy distribution provides the maximum output charging power (energy), and each charged device connected to the circuit chooses to enter CC or CV charging mode according to its own voltage status. The current allocated to the output port is determined by the voltage of the charged device. The charging current allocated to the device with high voltage is small, and the charging current allocated to the device with low voltage is large. It is actually an adaptive charging mode. When among the charged devices connected to the circuit for charging energy distribution, a battery voltage difference between two charged devices Q and P exceeds the preset voltage difference threshold, the power switches corresponding to the charged device Q and the charged device P are respectively power switch S and power switch F. The output ends of power switch S and power switch F are connected to the energy distribution switch Z. Then the control module controls the energy distribution switch Z to be turned on, and the circuit for charging energy distribution enters the energy complementary mode, which can realize that the charged device with a higher battery voltage can complementarily charge on the charged device with a lower battery voltage, so that all the charged devices connected to the system can work stably. It should be noted that when the circuit for charging energy distribution operates in the energy complementary mode, the voltage differences between the charged devices are not allowed to be too large, for example, the maximum voltage difference does not exceed 0.5V.
The circuit for charging energy distribution provided in the embodiment realizes the control of different output voltages by using the same power module corresponding to multiple output ports through the cooperation of the power switch array, the anti-backflow switch array and the control module, which has low cost, small power delivery, high power conversion efficiency and utilization. In some exemplary embodiments, an anti-backflow switch group is provided to control mutual charging and current backflow caused by voltage differences between multiple charged devices.
In some exemplary embodiments, the control module detects the charging state of the charged device connected to the output port to determine whether there is a charged device (target charged device) that requires priority charging. If there is a target charged device, the circuit enters directional energy distribution mode, the control module controls the power switch and anti-backflow switch group corresponding to the target charged device to be turned on and controls the remaining power switches and anti-backflow switch groups to be turned off, so as to provide the maximum output charging power for the target charged device, realizing the function of automatically detecting and directional charging of the target charged device. The charging efficiency is improved. In an emergency, the operation of the target charged device can be rapidly recovered or the battery capacity of the target charged device can be rapidly recovered.
The circuit for charging energy distribution provided in the embodiment can supply power to different output ports through one power module, achieve wide voltage output based on current information without using an independent DCDC voltage conversion circuit, realize directional charging energy control and output according to the load condition (charging state of the charged device), and cooperate with different loads to realize directional energy control through a specific bridge circuit system between the detection circuit and the output port.
The circuit for charging energy distribution provided in the embodiment uses only one total independent power supplier. The circuit for charging energy distribution has two working modes, one is a constant current working mode and the other is a constant voltage working mode. When the circuit for charging energy distribution operates in the energy complementary mode or the directional charging energy distribution mode, it will enter the constant voltage working mode. The output voltage is adjusted to be the same as or slightly higher than the voltage of the load according to voltage condition of the load (target charged device) connected through the directional port (the output port corresponding to the target charged device). The load is electrically connected to the circuit for charging energy distribution, and the circuit begins to enter the directional charging energy distribution mode to charge the load. The circuit for charging energy distribution determines whether the charged devices corresponding to other output ports need to be charged at the same time based on the charging state of the currently connected load. If so, a certain charging current is allocated to the charged devices. For example, when the charging state of the charged device D reaches the preset charging state, the circuit for charging energy distribution enters the directional charging energy distribution mode, suspends the charging of other charged devices, and starts charging the charged device D with the maximum output power. In the subsequent process, the control module collects that the charging state of the charged device F has also reached the preset charging state, and then turns on the charging circuit of the charged device F, and charges the charged device D and the charged device F at the same time.
In some exemplary embodiments, the circuit for charging energy distribution provided in the embodiment can be applied to at least one of vacuum cleaners, garden tools, electric tool chargers, chargers, etc.
Please refer to FIG. 66. The circuit for charging energy distribution provided by this embodiment is illustrated below through a specific embodiment. FIG. 66 is a specific circuit for charging energy distribution. The circuit includes an AC-DC power supply module 711 as a power module, a power switch array 714 having three power switches KS1, KS2, and KS3, an energy complementary switch array 719 having three energy distribution switches KS4, KS5, and KS6, a control module 713 and an output port 717. The energy complementary switch array includes a first anti-backflow switch group, a second anti-backflow switch group and a third anti-backflow switch group. The first anti-backflow switch group is composed of S1 and S2, the second anti-backflow switch group is composed of S3 and S4, and the third anti-backflow switch group is composed of S5 and S6. The output port includes OUT1, OUT2 and OUT3.
Continuing to refer to FIG. 66, OUT1, OUT2, and OUT3 are respectively the three output ports of the circuit for charging energy distribution, and the output ports are connected to the corresponding devices to be charged.
Power switch KS1, power switch KS2, and power switch KS3 are used to control the on and off of the three output ports and can be regarded as first-level switches. The anti-backflow switch S1, anti-backflow switch S2, anti-backflow switch S3, anti-backflow switch S4, anti-backflow switch S5, and anti-backflow switch S6 can be regarded as the second-level switched and adjustment system in the circuit for charging energy distribution, which is used to prevent the risk of receiving reverse current from the charging device in the directional energy distribution working mode.
When the working mode of the circuit for charging energy distribution is the normal charging mode, the power switch KS1, the anti-backflow switch S1 and the anti-backflow switch S2; the power switch KS2, the anti-backflow switch S3 and the anti-backflow switch S4; and the power switch KS3, the anti-backflow switch S5 and the anti-backflow switches S6 form three sets of independent switch arrays to connect each charged device to the circuit for charging energy distribution, respectively.
When the circuit for charging energy distribution works in the directional charging energy distribution mode, for example, the control module automatically recognizes OUT3 as the selected directional charging energy output port. At this time, the control module will turn off the anti-backflow switch S1, anti-backflow switch S2, and anti-backflow switch. S3, and anti-backflow switch S4, and turn off the power switch KS3, anti-backflow switch S5, and anti-backflow switch S6. The circuit for charging energy distribution begins to charge the charged device on OUT3 in the circuit with the maximum charging power. After charging for a period of time, the circuit then decides whether to connect the charged device connected to OUT1 and OUT2 to the circuit for charging energy distribution for charging according to the actual situation.
In some exemplary embodiments, the directional energy distribution function of the circuit for charging energy distribution does not require any external operation or button selection. The circuit for charging energy distribution automatically switches according to the charging stages of the connected charged devices. When the power of any charged device in the circuit for charging energy distribution is less than 50%, the circuit for charging energy distribution will switch the charged device to the directional charging mode for charging, and automatically exit the directional charging ang enter normal charging mode when the capacity of the charged device is charged to more than 50%.
When the battery capacity status of all charged devices in the circuit for charging energy distribution is above 50%, the circuit for charging energy distribution will not enter the directional energy distribution mode for charging. At this time, the circuit for charging energy distribution is fully working in the normal charging mode. When working in the normal mode, the circuit for charging energy distribution provides the maximum output charging power (energy). The charged device connected to the circuit enters the CC or CV mode for charging according to its own voltage state. The current allocated to the output port is determined by the voltage of the charged device, the one with high voltage is allocated a small charging current, and the one with low voltage is allocated a large current, which is actually an adaptive charging mode.
The energy distribution switch KS4, energy distribution switch KS5, and energy distribution switch KS6 in the circuit for charging energy distribution are second-level directional energy distribution switches. Under the control of the energy distribution switches, the charged device with a higher battery voltage can be used to complementarily supply power to the charged device with a lower battery voltage, so that all the charged device connected to the circuit for charging energy distribution can work very stably. When the circuit for charging energy distribution works in the energy complementary mode, the voltage difference between the charged devices is not allowed to be too large, that is, it cannot exceed the preset voltage difference threshold. When the voltage difference between two charged devices exceeds the preset voltage difference threshold, the circuit for charging energy distribution enters the energy complementary mode. Optional, the preset voltage difference threshold is 0.5V.
