[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0033] The shared power banks in existing shared power bank cabinets are all uniformly configured. In order to accommodate more devices, each power bank is structurally the same. Although this has strong compatibility, it lacks specificity. Moreover, in order to achieve such compatibility, higher manufacturing costs are required when manufacturing shared power banks, and more money needs to be spent to purchase different charging interfaces for generation. At the same time, the lack of targeted strategies is not conducive to business promotion and maintenance. For example, in urban and rural areas, there are fewer devices that use lightning interfaces for charging. If each power bank is equipped with a lightning interface charging module, long-term non-use will cause the module to age, resulting in a waste of resources and increased maintenance costs. To this end, the present application proposes a shared power bank control method to solve the above problems. In order to clearly describe the shared power bank control method provided in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 .
[0034] The method provided in this application is applied to a shared power bank cabinet, which includes multiple power banks, each of which includes at least one charging interface. Figure 2 ,like Figure 2As shown, the shared power bank cabinet 20 contains a plurality of power banks 21. In addition, the specific structure of the shared power bank cabinet 20 will be described in detail later, and will not be described here.
[0035] Each power bank 21 includes at least one charging interface, wherein the charging interface can be firstly divided into a wireless charging interface and a wired charging interface. With respect to the wired charging interface, it can be further subdivided according to the charging protocol, including but not limited to micro USB, USB type-C or lightning, etc. In a preferred embodiment, in order to reflect the pertinence, each power bank 21 can have only one charging interface, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost.
[0036] Meanwhile, if each power bank 21 has only one charging interface, a certain matching process is required to ensure that the power bank 21 requested by the user can charge the device. To this end, the present application also proposes a control method for a shared power bank 21, including steps S110 to S130.
[0037] Step S110: when a charging application is detected, obtaining model information of the mobile device that needs to be charged.
[0038] In one embodiment, the charging application may be initiated by a user terminal to the charging cabinet, and the specific method may include but is not limited to scanning the identification QR code on the charging cabinet, clicking the request button, etc. The user terminal may be a mobile terminal, and specifically, the specific form of the mobile terminal may be, but is not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant (English: personal digital assistant, abbreviated: PDA), a mobile Internet device (English: mobile Internet device, abbreviated: MID) and a wearable device (such as a smart watch), etc. The mobile terminal may process and display the corresponding information through an application (such as APP), and perform the corresponding operation, thereby improving the use efficiency.
[0039] It is also worth noting that the user terminal that initiates the charging application and the mobile device that actually needs to be charged are not necessarily the same device. Therefore, in order to ensure that the power bank 21 matches the model information of the mobile device that needs to be charged as needed, the model information can record the charging interface of the mobile device that needs to be charged (such as micro USB, USB type-C or lightning, etc.), charging method (wired charging or wireless charging) and charging protocol (Qi wireless charging protocol, Power Delivery charging protocol, Quick Charge charging protocol or Apple charging protocol, etc.). For example, A's mobile phone is out of power, and he asks his friend B to help rent a power bank 21 to charge it. A's mobile phone uses a lightning interface to charge, and B's user terminal is USB type-C. If B's charging interface is identified, a power bank 21 with only a USB type-C interface pops up. Of course, it cannot charge A's mobile phone that actually needs to be charged and uses a lightning interface. Or, C uses his mobile phone to borrow the power bank 21 to charge the laptop. Although both the mobile phone and the laptop use the USB type-C interface, the charging protocols of the two are not completely compatible. In order to improve the charging effect, it is indeed necessary to output a more efficient charging protocol, such as PD3.0. If the power bank 21 is output with the charging protocol corresponding to the mobile phone, the best charging effect will inevitably not be achieved. For this reason, the charging protocol of the mobile device is also a factor that needs to be considered, which is also included in the model information.
[0040] Step S120: Determine the type of the power bank 21 according to the model information. The type of the power bank 21 is used to indicate the charging method supported by the charging interface of the power bank 21 for charging the mobile device.
[0041] In one embodiment, step S120: determining the type of the power bank 21 according to the model information, includes: obtaining the charging method information in the model information; when it is determined according to the charging method information that the mobile device supports wireless charging, sending a charging method inquiry to the mobile device, the charging method inquiry is used to determine whether the user needs to charge using the wireless charging method; if the user needs to charge using the wireless charging method according to the charging method inquiry feedback, then the type of the power bank 21 is determined to be the first type, and the first type of power bank 21 supports wireless charging; if it is determined according to the charging method information that the mobile device does not support wireless charging, or the user does not need to charge using the wireless charging method according to the charging method inquiry feedback, then the type of the power bank 21 is determined to be the second type, and the second type of power bank 21 supports wired charging.
[0042] In one embodiment, as mentioned above, the model information may record the charging methods acceptable to the mobile device. Generally speaking, the charging methods can be divided into two categories: wired charging and wireless charging. And according to common knowledge, the charging methods of the two types of charging methods are different: the wireless charging method requires the power bank 21 to fit the mobile device. This type of power bank 21 is often small in size and has a certain fitting mechanism (such as a magnetic structure), which can ensure that the wireless charging module of the power bank 21 fits tightly with the mobile device; the power bank 21 of the wired charging method does not restrict the size of the power bank 21, and the charging method is to unplug the charging interface and connect it to the device to be charged by wire. And further, wireless charging has not been popularized on all devices, that is, not all mobile devices support wireless charging. In this regard, when matching the power bank 21, it can be determined from two perspectives: whether the mobile device to be charged supports wireless charging, and whether the user wants wireless charging. For the former, whether it supports or not can be obtained from the model information; for the latter, it is necessary to confirm by asking the user.
[0043] To this end, after determining that the user supports wireless charging according to the model information, a charging method inquiry can be sent to the mobile device. The mobile device here is the mobile device that sends the charging request. The charging method inquiry is determined by the user through APP and other channels, using pop-up windows, selections, etc. to select whether to charge using wireless charging. If the user needs to charge using wireless charging according to the charging method inquiry feedback, it is determined that the type of power bank 21 is the first type, and the first type of power bank 21 supports wireless charging. If it is determined according to the model information that the mobile device to be charged does not support wireless charging, or if it is determined that the user does not need wireless charging after sending a charging method inquiry, it can be determined that the type of power bank 21 is the second type, and the second type of power bank 21 supports wired charging.
[0044] Further, for the first type and the second type of power bank 21, please refer to Figure 2 As shown. Figure 2 For example, the topmost power bank 21 exposed to the outside can be the first type of power bank 21, and the concentric circle structure above is also a schematic diagram of the phaseless charging module. The power bank 21 completely placed inside the cabinet below can be the second type of power bank 21, which needs to be popped out accordingly, and then the user can make a wired connection to achieve charging. The improvement of the structure will be described in detail later, and will not be explained here for the time being.
[0045] In one embodiment, determining the type of the power bank 21 according to the model information includes: obtaining interface information in the model information, the interface information is used to indicate the charging interface type and / or supported charging protocol of the mobile device; and determining the corresponding type of the power bank 21 according to the interface information.
[0046] In one embodiment, for the case of wired charging, according to the above description, the existing popular wired charging interfaces include but are not limited to micro USB, USB type-C or lightning. At the same time, even the same type of charging interface may also include different charging protocols corresponding to different charging powers. For example, taking the USB type-C model charging interface as an example, it may also include but is not limited to different types of charging protocols such as USB Power Delivery, Qualcomm QuickCharge, USB Battery Charging or Apple MFi. For this reason, each one needs to be matched separately. Therefore, when determining the type of power bank 21, the adapted charging interface can be determined according to the model, and then the charging protocol with the maximum power that the device can accept can be determined, so as to match the corresponding power bank 21 type using the matching charging interface and charging protocol. It can be seen that interfaces and protocols are difficult to enumerate, and the combinations that can be generated by their corresponding matching are even more endless. For this reason, specific examples of possible types are given here, and the actual needs of users shall prevail.
[0047] Step S130: selecting a power bank 21 that meets the ejection condition according to the type of the power bank 21, and controlling the power bank 21 to eject.
[0048] In one embodiment, satisfying the pop-up condition includes any one of the following: the model information of the power bank 21 matches the type of the power bank 21, and the model information is used to indicate the charging method and / or interface type supported by the power bank 21; the power information of the power bank 21 is higher than the lending power threshold; the power information of the power bank 21 is higher than the lending power threshold and the power information is the highest.
[0049] In one embodiment, after the type of power bank 21 is determined, the corresponding power bank 21 can be matched and popped up, but it must also follow certain conditions, namely the pop-up conditions. It is true that the model information of the power bank 21 matches the type of the power bank 21, and ensuring that the user can charge the battery must be included in the pop-up conditions. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the user can fully charge the battery, so the pop-up conditions also need to ensure that the power information of the power bank 21 is higher than the lending power threshold. The specific power threshold can be a fixed threshold for the power bank 21. For example, it must be ensured that the pop-up power bank 21 is fully charged, or the remaining power is higher than 90%.
[0050] In other embodiments, the power threshold can also be determined based on the model information, for example, to ensure that the power threshold is not less than the upper limit of the power capacity of the mobile device to be charged, or is not less than the rechargeable power. Specifically, the mobile device to be charged by the user may be an outdoor device with a battery capacity of 10,000 mAh. If it is assigned a power bank 21 that matches the charging interface and charging protocol, but the battery capacity is only 5,000 mAh, it is indeed unable to meet the user's needs. For this reason, the battery capacity of the power bank 21 assigned to it is not less than its battery capacity, that is, the power threshold is greater than or equal to 10,000 mAh.
[0051] Furthermore, there are multiple power banks 21 stored in the cabinet, and the matching result may be that multiple power banks 21 of the same type are matched at the same time. When multiple power banks 21 meet the pop-up conditions listed above, the power bank 21 with the most power can be popped up. It can be seen that the time when the user borrows the power bank 21 is uncertain. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of users as much as possible and provide users with enough power, it is necessary to pop up the power bank 21 with the highest power information. Among them, the highest power information may specifically include but is not limited to the highest remaining power percentage, the highest battery capacity, the longest service life, etc. So as to meet the possible needs of users as much as possible and improve the user experience.
[0052] In one embodiment, after the power bank 21 is popped out, the user's usage history information on the cabinet can also be recorded at all times, so as to roughly analyze and determine the model information of users who may borrow the power bank 21 in the area, so as to flexibly allocate the power bank 21 type of the cabinet in the future. For example, when the cabinet is put into use for the first time, the most compatible power bank 21 is set in the cabinet. After a period of use, the user portrait of the user who borrowed the power bank 21 in the area can be roughly determined, so that different types of power banks 21 can be allocated accordingly during the subsequent use process, thereby reducing resource waste. It avoids the homogenization of the power banks 21 in the cabinet, reduces the manufacturing cost of the power banks 21, and facilitates business promotion.
[0053] It is understandable that the method provided in the present application is applied to a shared power bank cabinet 20. Moreover, the method provided in the present application will be different from the prior art that can only pop up one type of power bank 21. The method provided in the present application will pop up different types of power banks 21. Different types of power banks 21 will have different charging methods, and the corresponding pop-up methods may also be different to facilitate user charging. In this regard, the present application also proposes improvements in the structure of the shared power bank cabinet 20. To facilitate understanding of the shared power bank cabinet 20 provided by the present application, please refer to Figure 2 to Figure 10 .
[0054] The present application provides a shared power bank cabinet 20, comprising a cabinet 22, a power bank 21 and a processing unit 23: the cabinet 22 is used to accommodate the power bank 21 and the processing unit 23, and the cabinet 22 comprises a accommodating mechanism 221, a power supply mechanism 222 and a pop-up mechanism 223; the accommodating mechanism 221 is used to accommodate the power bank 21, and the power supply mechanism 222 is used to charge the power bank 21 and obtain the power information of the power bank 21; the pop-up mechanism 223 is used to store or pop up the power bank 21 according to control; the power bank 21 comprises at least one charging module 211, and the charging module 211 comprises a wireless charging module 211a and a wired charging module 211b; when the power bank 21 comprises a wired charging module 211b, the power bank 21 comprises at least one charging interface; the processing unit 23 is connected to the power supply mechanism 222 and the pop-up mechanism 223, and is used to execute the method provided above.
[0055] In one embodiment, the overall structure of the shared power bank cabinet 20 can be referred to Figure 2 and Figure 3 ,in Figure 2 As a schematic diagram, Figure 3 The shared power bank cabinet 20 has a cabinet body 22 as the main structure, which is used to accommodate the power bank 21 and the processing unit 23. The specific structures of the power bank 21 and the processing unit 23 will be described in detail, which will not be expanded here.
[0056] Furthermore, the cabinet 22 includes a accommodating mechanism 221, a power supply mechanism 222 and a pop-up mechanism 223. Among them, the accommodating mechanism 221 can be a hollow cavity slightly larger than the power bank 21, so that the power bank 21 can be accommodated and stored inside. The power supply mechanism 222 is a mechanism for supplying power to the entire cabinet and the power bank 21. The power supply mechanism 222 can be provided with a first charging contact in the accommodating mechanism 221, and a second charging contact is provided on the power bank 21 correspondingly. When the first charging contact and the second charging contact are in contact, the power supply mechanism 222 can charge the power bank 21, and at the same time obtain the power information of the charging pack, which is handed over to the processing unit 23 for processing.
[0057] The pop-up structure can preferably be arranged at the exit of the cabinet, so as to be used to store or pop out the power bank 21 according to the control, so that the user can easily take or store the power bank 21. The specific structure will be expanded later, and will not be shown here for the time being.
[0058] In one embodiment, the power bank 21 also includes: a battery body 212 and a battery charging module 213; the battery body 212 is respectively connected to the charging module 211 and the battery charging module 213, the battery body 212 is used to store electricity, and the battery charging module 213 is used to supply power to the battery body 212 when connected to the power supply mechanism 222; the power bank 21 types include a first type and a second type, the first type of power bank 21 supports wireless charging, and the second type of power bank 21 supports wired charging; when the power bank 21 type is the first type, the power bank 21 includes a wireless charging module 211a; when the power bank 21 type is the second type, the power bank 21 includes a wired charging module 211b, and the wired charging module 211b includes at least one wired charging interface.
[0059] The structure of the power bank 21 can be generally referred to as follows Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, Figure 4 The first type of power bank 21, Figure 5 The second type of power bank 21. The power bank 21 includes a battery body 212 and a battery charging module 213. The battery charging module 213 can be the second charging contact mentioned above. When the second charging contact of the power bank 21 contacts the first charging contact of the power supply mechanism 222, the power bank 21 can be charged. It is worth noting that the contact method is only an example for easy understanding and is not a limitation of the technology. In actual situations, it can be set arbitrarily according to needs and is not limited here.
[0060] refer to Figure 4 As shown, for the first type of power bank 21, the power bank 21 also includes a wireless charging module 211a, and the wireless charging module 211a can output power to the mobile device to be charged. Figure 5 As shown, the second type of power bank 21 also includes a wired charging module 211b. The wired charging module 211b is usually connected to a plurality of wired charging interfaces by a data cable, and the charging interfaces include at least one type, which may include but are not limited to micro USB, USB type-C or lightning, etc. Figure 5As shown, there may be only one interface; in other embodiments, there may be multiple interfaces, and there may be only one interface or multiple interfaces among the multiple interfaces. For example, there are three charging interfaces at the same time, and the three charging interfaces may be micro USB, USB type-C and lightning respectively; there may also be three charging interfaces at the same time, but all three interfaces are of the same interface type. And further, for multiple interfaces of the same interface type, different charging protocols can be set respectively. It can be seen that the number, type, and charging protocol of the charging interfaces can be arbitrarily matched, and there may be combinations that are difficult to exhaust. Here, only an example of the method is given without limitation.
[0061] In one embodiment, when the power bank 21 is of the second type, the power bank 21 further includes a storage mechanism 214, which connects the wired charging module 211b and the battery body 212. When the storage mechanism 214 moves forward, the charging interface can be controlled to pop out of the battery body 212. When the storage mechanism 214 moves reversely, the wired charging interface can be controlled to fit with the battery body 212. The direction in which the power bank 21 pops out of the cabinet 22 is defined as the forward direction, and the direction in which the power bank 21 is inserted into the cabinet 22 is defined as the reverse direction. The pop-up mechanism 223 further includes a first interactive component 24, which is disposed at the exit of the cabinet for popping out the power bank 21. The first interactive component 24 is used to control the storage mechanism 214 to move forward when the power bank 21 pops out, so as to control the wired charging interface to pop out toward the user, or, when the power bank 21 is accommodated, to control the storage mechanism 214 to move reversely to store the popped-out wired charging interface.
[0062] In one embodiment, since the power bank 21 in the cabinet of the present application no longer includes a setting of more interfaces, but is targeted at or has only one charging method or one charging interface, different charging methods will have different charging methods. In order to facilitate charging of different devices, the present application also improves the structure of the power bank 21 and the cabinet 22. When the power bank 21 type is the second type, the power bank 21 also includes a storage mechanism 214, which connects the wired charging module 211b and the battery body 212. Please refer to Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the storage mechanism 214 can be a cam. At the same time, a first interactive component 24 can also be provided on the pop-up mechanism 223 of the cabinet 22. The first interactive component 24 is provided at the exit of the cabinet pop-up power bank 21. When the power bank 21 enters and exits the accommodating mechanism 221, the first interactive component 24 will interact with the storage mechanism 214, thereby causing the change of the spatial position of the wired charging module 211b.
[0063] The direction in which the power bank 21 is ejected from the cabinet 22 is defined as the forward direction, and the direction in which the power bank 21 is inserted into the cabinet 22 is defined as the reverse direction. Figures 6 to 8As shown in FIG. 1 , the change process from the first state to the second state and then to the third state corresponds to the positive direction; otherwise, it corresponds to the reverse direction. If the power bank 21 is in the process of being ejected, it corresponds to Figures 6 to 8 : The process of changing from the first state to the second state and then to the third state. That is, corresponding to the positive process, the power bank 21 will eventually be in the third state. For the third state, please refer to Fig. 9 As shown, a side view of the second type power bank 21 as a whole. It can be seen that at this time, the wired charging module 211b has been exposed from the battery body 212, and the user can directly connect the mobile device to be charged with the interface of the wired charging module 211b to achieve charging. Correspondingly, this process eliminates the need for the user to manually unplug the charging cable, reduces user operations, increases convenience, and improves usage efficiency.
[0064] Furthermore, if the user wants to return the power bank 21, the power bank 21 after use is shown in the third state. In the prior art, the user needs to manually retract the wired charging module 211b, but in the present application, due to the arrangement of the storage mechanism 214 and the first interactive component 24, the user can directly put the power bank 21 back into the cabinet 22 when the power bank 21 is in the third state. The spatial position of the wired charging module 211b will be adjusted by the storage mechanism 214 and the first interactive component 24 according to the third state. Figure 8 to Figure 7 Then Figure 6 The process of changing. Thus, the power bank 21 is finally in the first state. The whole process of change also corresponds to the reverse change process defined above. And it can be seen that when the storage mechanism 214 and the first interactive component 24 interact with each other in the first state, the first type of power bank 21 is equivalent to Figure 5 The state shown. That is, the wired charging interface of the wired charging module 211b is fitted with the battery body 212 and stored in the power bank 21. It can correspond to the state that the power bank 21 is accommodated in the cabinet 22, thereby realizing the compression of space and improving the space utilization rate in the cabinet 22. The whole process is also equivalent to the process of the user putting the power bank 21 back into the cabinet 22, so that after the user uses the power bank 21, it can be directly returned to the cabinet without manual additional operations, such as no need to manually store the charging cable, which reduces the user's operation, increases convenience and practicality, and improves the efficiency of use.
[0065] In one embodiment, when the power bank 21 is of the first type, the power bank 21 further includes a fitting mechanism 215, which is connected to the wireless charging module 211a, and is used to control the power bank 21 to fit and connect with the mobile device; the fitting mechanism 215 includes a ready state, a close fit state, and a hidden state, the hidden state is used for the state in which the fitting mechanism 215 is stored in the battery body 212, the close fit state is the state in which the wireless charging module 211a is close fit with the mobile device, and the ready state is the state in which the fitting mechanism 215 is waiting to fit with the mobile device; the pop-up mechanism 223 further includes a second interactive component 25, which is arranged at the exit of the cabinet for popping out the power bank 21; the second interactive component 25 is used to control the fitting mechanism 215 to fit from the hidden state to the ready state when the power bank 21 is popped out, or, when the power bank 21 is accommodated, to control the close fit mechanism to fit from the clamping state to the hidden state.
[0066] Similarly, for the first type of charging, wireless charging is used for charging. Wireless charging requires that the wireless charging module 211a of the power bank 21 be closely attached to the wireless energy transmission coil of the device to be charged, and in order to ensure continuous charging, the stable connection between the power bank 21 and the device to be charged must also be ensured. This can be achieved through the fitting mechanism 215 on the power bank 21. The fitting mechanism 215 may specifically include but is not limited to a magnetic suction device, a hook device, an adhesive device, etc., which can enable the power bank 21 to be precisely fitted to the mobile device to be charged to achieve charging. The corresponding fitting mechanism 215 includes a ready state, a close fit state and a hidden state. Specifically, the hidden state is used for the state in which the fitting mechanism 215 is stored in the battery body 212; the close fit state is the state in which the wireless charging module 211a is in close contact with the mobile device; the ready state is the state in which the fitting mechanism 215 is waiting to be in close contact with the mobile device. For this, the fitting mechanism 215 may be in a state in which the hook device is provided. For example, Fig.10 The second type of power bank 21 shown, whose fitting mechanism 215 is a magnetic suction device, does not need to change in the above state. However, it is also worth noting that a second interactive component 25 can also be provided in the pop-up mechanism 223 of the cabinet. The second interactive component 25 is similar to the first interactive component 24, and can be arranged at the exit of the cabinet pop-up power bank 21, and can interact with the fitting mechanism 215, thereby changing the state of the body and the mechanism. For example, when the pop-up power bank 21 pops up, the fitting mechanism 215 is controlled to change from a hidden state to a ready state, or, when the power bank 21 is accommodated, the fitting mechanism is controlled to change from a clamping state to a hidden state.
[0067] And further, Figure 2 , Figure 3The schematic diagram of the shared power bank cabinet 20 shown in the figure may be that the power bank 21 on the top layer is the second type of power bank 21, and the power banks 21 on the bottom layer are all the first type of power banks 21. In the case where the second type of power bank 21 is set on the top layer, that is, the wireless charging module 211a on the upper surface is exposed to the user, so that the user can directly put down the device to be charged, then the fitting mechanism 215 of the power bank 21 can be closely attached to the device to be charged in the manner described above, thereby realizing wireless charging. This avoids additional operations and improves convenience.
[0068] In addition, the configurations of the first type and the second type of power bank 21 do not conflict, that is, in one embodiment, the power bank 21 can take into account the structures of the first type and the second type, thereby achieving higher compatibility.
[0069] Therefore, the present application can output the power bank 21 according to the model information of the mobile device, and can output the power bank 21 that meets the charging interface type of the mobile device, thereby avoiding the waste of resources in manufacturing a universal power bank 21. Unlike the prior art that actually only outputs one type of power bank 21, the present application can output multiple types of power banks 21. Multiple types of power banks 21 allow service providers to provide power banks 21 more accurately, saving energy and avoiding homogenization. At the same time, a power bank 21 has at least one charging interface, that is, the power bank 21 can be provided with only one interface, which saves manufacturing costs or modification costs compared to the prior art that sets multiple interfaces, reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the new shared power bank 21, and also reduces the modification difficulty of the existing power bank 21, making the shared power bank 21 service easier to promote and popularize.
