Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a charging compartment of a mobile charging device and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As the functions of electronic devices such as smartphones continue to increase, their power consumption is also gradually increasing. On the one hand, electronic device manufacturers continue to increase the battery capacity of electronic devices, and on the other hand, they provide mobile charging devices such as mobile power banks for devices whose mobile phone battery capacity is not ideal. With the development of the sharing economy, there are new product solutions for shared mobile power banks. In the solution of shared mobile power bank products, multiple mobile power banks are inserted into the charging cabinet for charging. When the user follows the prompts on the charging cabinet to rent, the user obtains the right to take out a mobile power bank from the charging cabinet, or a charging power bank is ejected by the mechanical structure, and the user can take the mobile power bank for use. After the user is finished using it, the mobile power bank can be returned to the charging cabinet.

[0003] The charging cabinet is provided with at least one charging compartment for accommodating a mobile charging device. As a shared charging cabinet, it is necessary to allow the user to take out the mobile charging device in the charging compartment after the user has paid. For this purpose, the charging compartment needs to provide the function of locking and unlocking the mobile charging device placed therein. The charging compartment in the prior art is too complex in structure and high in cost when implementing the locking and unlocking functions. Summary of the invention

[0004] An object of the present invention is to provide a charging compartment of a mobile charging device and a control method thereof, which can enable a user to still have the opportunity to eject the mobile charging device after the mobile charging device is not correctly inserted.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a mobile charging device charging compartment, comprising:

[0006] A compartment body, having a compartment for accommodating a mobile charging device, and one end of the compartment has an entrance for inserting the mobile charging device;

[0007] Push rod and locking member;

[0008] Wherein, in the locked state, the locking end of the locking member extends from the compartment body into the compartment and is inserted into the locking groove of the mobile charging device, so that the mobile charging device overcomes the outward pushing force applied by the mobile charging device pop-up mechanism; in the unlocked state, the push rod moves toward the locking member, pushing the locking member to move outside the compartment, and then the locking end of the locking member is disengaged from the locking groove of the mobile charging device, so that the mobile charging device is ejected to the outside of the compartment under the action of the force applied by the mobile charging device pop-up mechanism;

[0009] The push rod push limiting device is used to limit the movement of the push rod in a locked state and release the restriction on the movement of the push rod in a non-locked state;

[0010] A detection signal through hole is provided on the outer wall near the entrance of the warehouse body, an infrared signal detection device is arranged outside the detection signal through hole, and an infrared signal path of the infrared signal detection device passes through the detection signal through hole.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the infrared signal detection device includes an infrared signal transmitting device and an infrared signal receiving device, and the detection signal through hole includes a transmitting signal through hole and a receiving signal through hole arranged in opposite directions of the outer wall of the warehouse body, the infrared signal transmitting path of the infrared signal transmitting device passes through the transmitting signal through hole, and the infrared signal receiving path of the infrared signal receiving device passes through the receiving signal through hole.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the push rod limiting device includes a barrier rod extension controller and a barrier rod, the extension length of the barrier rod is controlled by the barrier rod controller, the barrier rod extension trajectory intersects with the push rod movement trajectory, and a locking structure that cooperates with the barrier rod is provided on the push rod. When the barrier rod is extended to a length that prevents the locking structure from moving, the push rod push limiting device is in a locked state; when the barrier rod is retracted to a length that no longer prevents the locking structure from moving, the push rod push limiting device is in a non-locked state.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the barrier rod extension controller includes an electromagnetic lock, and the extension length of the barrier rod is controlled by the electromagnetic force applied by the electromagnetic lock.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the clamping structure provided on the push rod is a stop plate or a stop ring.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, it also includes:

[0016] A mobile charging device ejection mechanism, used to apply an outward ejection force to the mobile charging device after the mobile charging device is inserted into the compartment;

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the push rod has an inclined pushing surface at one end facing the locking member, and the locking member has a supporting surface matching the inclined pushing surface;

[0018] During the movement of the push rod toward the locking member, the inclined pushing surface pushes the supporting surface to move in a direction away from the warehouse body, thereby moving the locking member toward the outside of the warehouse chamber.

[0019] Another aspect of the present invention further provides a method for controlling a charging compartment of a mobile charging device, wherein the charging compartment of the mobile charging device is the mobile charging device charging compartment as claimed in claim 1, and the method comprises:

[0020] When the infrared signal detection device detects that the mobile charging device is inserted into the charging compartment, the push rod is triggered to push the limiting device to switch to a non-fixed state, thereby releasing the restriction on the movement of the push rod.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, when it is detected that the mobile charging device has been inserted into the locked state, the push rod is triggered to push the limiting device to switch to the locked state.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the infrared signal detection device detects whether the mobile charging device is inserted into the charging compartment based on whether the infrared signal is received.

[0023] With the above solution, when the user fails to correctly insert the mobile charging device, there is still a chance to press the push rod to make the mobile charging device pop out, and then the user can try to reinsert it. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] The present invention is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, but not to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the present invention, but not all structures, are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Figure 1AFIG. 1 shows a top view of a charging compartment of a mobile charging device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1B This is a side view of the charging compartment of the mobile charging device. Figure 1C This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the charging compartment of the mobile charging device. Figure 1D and Figure 1E This is an exploded view of the charging compartment of the mobile charging device. Figure 2 for Figure 1A AA direction cross-sectional view, Figure 3 for Figure 1A BB direction cross-sectional view.

[0033] Please also see Figure 1A-1E The mobile charging device charging compartment in this embodiment includes a compartment body 1, a mobile charging device ejection mechanism 2, a push rod 3 and a locking member 4.

[0034] The compartment 1 has a compartment 10 for accommodating a mobile charging device (not shown). One end of the compartment 10 has an inlet 10a for inserting the mobile charging device. In practice, the user can insert the mobile charging device into the compartment 10 through the inlet 10a, or remove the mobile charging device from the compartment 10 through the inlet 10a.

[0035] When the mobile charging device is pushed into the chamber 10 from the entrance 10a, after certain conditions are met (for example, when the pushing depth exceeds a predetermined depth), the mobile charging device ejection mechanism 2 applies an outward pushing force to the mobile charging device. The outward pushing force here can be a force pushing in the direction of the entrance 10a. Of course, in an alternative embodiment, the mobile charging device ejection mechanism 2 may apply an outward pushing force to the mobile charging device without any conditions, as long as the mobile charging device is just pushed into the chamber 10, the mobile charging device ejection mechanism 2 applies an outward pushing force to it.

[0036] The function of the mobile charging device ejection mechanism 2 is that, in the absence of other external forces, the mobile charging device can be ejected from the compartment 10 by the mobile charging device ejection mechanism 2, so that the user can take out the mobile charging device conveniently. If there is no such mechanism, the user needs to laboriously pull out the mobile charging device that has been pushed deep into the compartment 10. In a more serious case, if the depth of the mobile charging device pushed in is close to or greater than the length of the mobile charging device itself (in this case, the mobile charging device is almost completely placed in the compartment 10), the user will not be able to find a force-applying position to pull it out.

[0037] The mobile charging device ejection mechanism 2 can be implemented in a variety of specific ways, for example, it can be at least one spring with one end fixed to the inner wall of the end of the chamber 10 away from the entrance 10a, and the spring can use elastic thrust as a force to push the mobile charging device outward. Figures 1A-1E, Figure 2 and Figure 3 The mobile charging device ejection mechanism 2 includes a third return spring 22 (only in Figure 1A and Figure 1B ) and a sliding push hook 21 that can slide toward the outside of the chamber 10 under the elastic force of the third return spring 22. The so-called sliding toward the outside of the chamber 10 can be sliding toward the entrance 10a. A portion 21a of the sliding push hook 21 extends into the chamber 10 (see Figure 3 ), the bin body 1 has a sliding hole 11 for the sliding push hook 21 to slide into the bin chamber 10. Figure 1D and Figure 3 It can be seen that the sliding push hook 21 is roughly L-shaped, including a portion 21a extending into the chamber 10 and a portion 21b located outside the chamber 10. The sliding trajectory of the portion 21a of the sliding push hook 21 extending into the chamber 10 is limited by the length and extension direction of the sliding hole 11. The sliding push hook 21 can use the portion 21a extending into the chamber 10 to abut against the end of the mobile charging device away from the entrance 10a. During the process of the portion 21a sliding along the sliding hole 11 toward the entrance 10a, the mobile charging device is pushed toward the entrance 10a. The power for the sliding push hook 21 to slide outward is provided by the third return spring 22. For example, the pulling force of the third return spring 22 returning from the stretched state to the original state can cause the sliding push hook 21 to slide toward the entrance 10a.

[0038] The push rod 3 and the locking member 4 cooperate to complete the locking and unlocking of the position of the mobile charging device inserted into the chamber 10. In the locked state, the locking member 4 locks the position of the mobile charging device so that it overcomes the outward pushing force applied by the mobile charging device ejection mechanism 2. The unlocking can be completed with the help of the push rod 3, so that the locking member 4 loses the locking of the position of the mobile charging device, and the mobile charging device is pushed out toward the entrance 10a by the thrust of the mobile charging device ejection mechanism 2.

[0039] Please also see Figure 1D , Figure 1E and Figure 2 , one end of the locking member 4 forms a locking end 42. In the locked state, the locking end 42 of the locking member 4 extends from the outside of the bin body 1 into the bin chamber 10, and is inserted into a locking groove (not shown) provided on the housing of the mobile charging device in the bin chamber 10. In the unlocked state, the push rod 3 moves toward the locking member 4, pushing the locking member 4 to move outside the bin chamber 10, and then the locking end 42 is disengaged from the locking groove of the mobile charging device, so that the mobile charging device is ejected to the outside of the entrance 10a under the thrust applied by the mobile charging device ejection mechanism 2.

[0040] The end of the push rod 3 facing the locking member 4 has an inclined pushing surface 31, and the locking member 4 has a supporting surface that matches the inclined pushing surface 31. When the push rod 3 moves toward the locking member 4, the inclined pushing surface 31 pushes the supporting surface to move away from the bin body, and then the locking member 4 moves toward the outside of the chamber 10, that is, moves in the opposite direction of the direction in which the locking end 42 is inserted into the bin body 1.

[0041] The locking member 4 is in a locked state under the action of the first return spring 5. The first return spring 5 provides a thrust for the locking member 4 to extend into the chamber 10, so that the locking end 42 can extend into a locking groove (not shown) provided on the housing of the mobile charging device. In the process of the push rod 3 pushing the locking member 4 to move outside the chamber 10, the locking member 4 overcomes the elastic force of the first return spring 5, so that the locking member 4 is freed from the locked state and enters the unlocked state.

[0042] like Figure 1D , Figure 1E and Figure 2 As shown, the locking member 4 has a central hole 41 extending parallel to the extension direction of the push rod 3, and the upper inner edge 41a of the central hole 41 of the locking member 4 serves as a supporting surface 41a that cooperates with the inclined pushing surface 31 of the above-mentioned push rod 3. When the push rod 3 is pushed toward the locking member 4, the inclined pushing surface 31 abuts against the upper inner edge 41a of the central hole 41 of the locking member 4. The height of the inclined pushing surface 31 away from the locking member 4 is higher, and the height of the part close to the locking member 4 is lower. Therefore, when the inclined pushing surface 31 gradually moves toward the locking member 4, through the cooperation with the inner edge 41a, the locking member 4 is pushed in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the push rod 3, so that the locking member 4 gradually moves to the outside of the chamber 10, and overcomes the thrust of the first return spring 5 during the movement. Finally, the locking end 41 of the locking member 4 moves out of the locking groove of the mobile charging device and enters the unlocked state. The mobile charging device is ejected from the entrance 10 a by the mobile charging device ejection mechanism 2 .

[0043] If the push rod 3 can rebound to the initial position after being pushed by the user to cause the locking member 4 to be in the unlocked state, the user experience will be more reasonable. Because if the push rod 3 is always in the unlocked position, when the mobile charging device is inserted into the compartment 10 and tried to be pushed into the locked state, the position of the locking member 4 will be restricted by the push rod 3 and cannot be returned to the locked position. For this reason, in the preferred embodiment, a second return spring 6 is provided (only in Figure 1A and Figure 1B), the push rod 3 can be restored to the initial state under the elastic force of the second return spring 6. When the push rod 3 is in the initial state, the locking member 4 is no longer restricted by the push rod 3, and the locking member 4 will be pushed back to the locked state under the action of the first return spring 5. When the user pushes the mobile charging device into the warehouse body 10 again, the locking end 41 of the locking member 4 will be inserted into the locking groove of the mobile charging device, and the mobile charging device will be locked again.

[0044] The push rod 3 may be provided with a latch 33 for passing through the second return spring 6. The latch 33 prevents the second return spring 6 from twisting and deforming when it is compressed, and one end of the latch 33 can abut against the second return spring 6. The other end of the second return spring 6 can abut against other structures on the bin body 1, so that when the user pushes the push rod 3, the second return spring 6 is compressed, thereby generating an elastic force to rebound the push rod 3.

[0045] A push button 34 may also be provided at one end of the push rod 3 away from the locking member 4, and a raised edge 34a is provided on the side of the push button 34. A position of the bin body 1 near the push button 34 is provided with a limit hole mechanism 12. The push button 34 passes through the limit hole mechanism 12, and when the push rod 3 is in the initial state position due to the elastic force of the second return spring 6, the raised edge 34a of the push button 34 abuts against the inner side of the limit hole mechanism 12, limiting the outward movement of the push rod 3 to prevent the push rod 3 from completely falling out.

[0046] See also Figure 1A-1E The mobile charging device charging compartment also includes a fixed upper cover 7. The upper cover 7 can play multiple roles to make the structure of the entire device more sophisticated.

[0047] In this embodiment, the shape of the upper cover 7 is ingeniously designed to be similar to the English letter "T". The upper cover 7 not only serves as a protective cover for other structures, but also provides necessary support for the functions of other structures, which will be described in detail below.

[0048] A first hook 71 may be provided on the upper cover 7, and a second hook 211 may be provided on the sliding push hook 21. The two ends of the third return spring 22 used to provide power for the sliding push hook 21 to slide may be respectively sleeved on the first hook 71 and the second hook 211. In this way, when the user pushes the mobile charging device to move into the chamber 10, the mobile charging device will push the sliding push hook 21 to move away from the entrance 10a of the chamber 10, and this movement will cause the third return spring 22 to stretch, and the stretching movement causes the third return spring 22 to apply a rebound elastic force to the sliding push hook 21 all the time, and the rebound elastic force will enable the sliding push hook 21 to push the mobile charging device outward in the unlocked state.

[0049] In order to make the thrust applied by the sliding push hook 21 to the mobile charging device more uniform and stable, in a preferred embodiment, the sliding push hook 21 can be arranged as at least two sliding push hooks 21 arranged in a vertical direction along the sliding direction, and at least two sliding push hooks 21 are connected to form an integral sliding push hook assembly through a push hook connector 23 parallel to the surface of the warehouse body 1. The push hook connector 23 has at least one sliding limit hole 24, and the extension direction of the sliding limit hole 24 is parallel to the sliding direction of the sliding push hook 21, and therefore is parallel to the extension direction of the sliding hole 11 on the warehouse body 1 for the sliding of the sliding push hook 21. A fixed column 25 matching with the sliding limit hole 24 is provided on the outside of the warehouse body 1, and the fixed column 25 passes through the sliding limit hole 24. Through the cooperation between the fixed column and the sliding limit hole 24, the sliding direction and sliding distance of the entire sliding push hook assembly are further limited. The fixing column can also serve as a fixing device for the upper cover 7, fixing the upper cover 7 on the bin body 1 and being located outside the sliding hook assembly as a whole. The sliding hook assembly can slide between the upper cover 7 and the outer wall of the bin body 1 along a direction parallel to the extension of the bin. In a preferred embodiment, in order to enhance the tightness between the upper cover 7 and the sliding hook assembly and ensure the stability of the sliding hook assembly during sliding, the upper cover 7 and the sliding hook assembly can be arranged in a cross-stacked manner, such as Figure 1D The upper cover 7 and the sliding hook assembly in the exploded view are combined together. Figure 1E In the exploded view shown, the upper cover 7 and the sliding hook assembly are completely separated to clearly show their respective structures. Figure 1D and Figure 1E It can be seen that although the upper cover 7 is located above the sliding hook assembly as a whole, the push hook connector 23 of the sliding hook assembly actually forms a ridge-shaped structure. In the assembled state, the push hook connector 23 spans the outside of the upper cover 7, while the sliding push hook 21 of the sliding hook assembly is located at the bottom of the upper cover 7. In this way, the upper surface and side surfaces of the upper cover 7 actually also serve as limiting surfaces during the sliding process of the push hook connector 23, making the sliding of the entire sliding hook assembly more stable.

[0050] In addition, see Figure 1D , Figure 1E and Figure 2 The upper cover 7 may be provided with a spring receiving groove 72 on one side facing the first return spring 5, one end of the first return spring 5 extends into the spring receiving groove 72, and the other end abuts against the locking member 4. The locking member 4 may be provided with a latch for the first return spring 5 on one end facing the first return spring 5.

[0051] As can be seen from the above, the upper cover 7 can play multiple roles, including limiting the first return spring 5, fixing one end of the third return spring 22, limiting and protecting the sliding push hook assembly. The upper cover 7 makes the entire structure more sophisticated.

[0052] In summary, the mobile charging device charging compartment provided by the embodiment of the present invention can realize the locking and unlocking of the mobile charging device placed in the riding pet, and can also eject the mobile charging device in the unlocked state, so that the user can take it out conveniently. The whole device has a simple structure and low cost.

[0053] On the other hand, once the user successfully presses the push rod, the mobile charging device will be unlocked and popped out. However, in real-life shared mode operations, only users who have completed payment have the right to take out the mobile charging device. For this reason, the user's action of pressing the push rod should be restricted. For example, only users who have completed payment can normally press the push rod of the mobile charging device charging compartment, and other users will not be able to press the push rod normally.

[0054] In order to achieve the above objectives, Figure 1A-Figure 1D , an improved structure is shown, in which a push rod push limiting device is added. The push rod push limiting device is used to limit the movement of the push rod 3 in a clamped state, and to release the restriction on the movement of the push rod 3 in a non-clamped state.

[0055] The locked state may correspond to a state in which the mobile charging device is locked in the charging compartment of the mobile charging device and the user is not authorized to use the mobile charging device. In the locked state, the user cannot press the push rod, so the mobile charging device is always in a locked state.

[0056] The non-fixed state can be a state where the mobile charging device is locked in the charging compartment of the mobile charging device and the user has the right to use the mobile charging device. In the non-fixed state, the user can press the push rod to cause the mobile charging device to switch to the unlocked state.

[0057] The specific components of the push display device may include a barrier rod 81 and a barrier rod telescopic controller 82. In practice, in order to facilitate the fixing of the barrier rod telescopic controller 82, a fixing frame 83 may be added to fix the barrier rod telescopic controller 82. The fixing frame 83 is fixed to the outer wall of the warehouse body 1.

[0058] The extension length of the blocking rod 81 is controlled by the blocking rod controller 82, and the extension trajectory of the blocking rod 81 intersects with the moving trajectory of the push rod 3. The push rod 3 is provided with a clamping structure 35 that cooperates with the blocking rod 81. When the blocking rod 81 is extended to a length that prevents the clamping structure 35 from moving, the push rod push limiting device is in the above-mentioned clamping state, and when the blocking rod 81 is retracted to a length that no longer prevents the clamping structure 35 from moving, the push rod push limiting device is in a non-clamping state.

[0059] exist Figure 1A-Figure 1DIn the implementation shown in FIG. 1 , the extension trajectory of the blocking rod 81 is almost perpendicular to the movement trajectory of the push rod 3. When the blocking rod 81 is extended to a longer distance by the blocking rod controller 82, the blocking rod 81 will block the movement of the clamping structure 35, thereby limiting the entire push rod 3 from being pressed. When the blocking rod 81 is extended to a shorter distance (or retracted) by the blocking rod controller 82, the blocking rod 81 no longer blocks the movement of the clamping structure 35, thereby limiting the entire push rod 5 from being pressed. The clamping structure 35 can be as follows: Figure 1A-Figure 1D The stopper sheet shown in the figure may also be a stopper ring. The stopper ring center may be provided with a hole for the stopper rod 81 to pass through.

[0060] The lever extension controller 82 can be implemented by a controller of a mechanical control mechanism or an electrical mechanism. In a preferred embodiment, an electromagnetic lock can be used as the lever extension controller 82. The electromagnetic lock controls the extension length of the lever 81 by controlling the electromagnetic force.

[0061] Therefore, the above solution can realize the authority control of the user to take out the mobile charging device.

[0062] After the user takes out the mobile charging device, the lever telescopic controller 82 will control the extended length of the lever 81 to switch to the fixed state again. When the lever telescopic controller 82 is an electromagnetic lock, this design is easier to understand. In the implementation method of the electromagnetic lock, when the electromagnetic lock is powered on, the lever 81 will be sucked back and enter the non-fixed state. The user can press the push rod 3 to unlock the mobile charging device and then take it out. When the user does not have the authority to take out the mobile charging device, the electromagnetic lock is powered off, and the lever 81 pops up (specifically, it can be pushed out by the spring force) and enters the fixed state, and the user cannot press the push rod 3. In order to prevent the user from illegally taking out the mobile charging device by pressing the push rod 3 after the device is abnormally powered off, the electromagnetic lock will only be powered on when the user needs to take out the mobile charging device after payment is completed, and the electromagnetic lock will be powered off at other times. For this reason, even after the user takes out the mobile charging device, the lever telescopic controller 82 will control the length of the lever 81 in the fixed state, and the user cannot press the push rod 3.

[0063] Based on this design, when returning the mobile charging device, if the user does not insert the mobile charging device correctly to the proper position, the user would like to press the push rod 3 to eject the mobile charging device and then reinsert it, but the push rod 3 cannot be pressed due to the blocking rod 81. In order to solve this problem, the state of the blocking rod 81 should be switched when the user inserts the mobile charging device into the compartment 10.

[0064] Figure 1A-Figure 1DAn improved structure for achieving the above purpose is shown. A detection signal through hole is set on the outer wall near the entrance of the warehouse body, an infrared signal detection device is set outside the detection signal through hole, the infrared signal path of the infrared signal detection device passes through the detection signal through hole, and the insertion of the mobile charging device is detected by the infrared signal mechanism.

[0065] In this embodiment, specifically, the infrared signal detection device includes an infrared signal transmitting device 91 and an infrared signal receiving device 92. The detection signal through hole includes a transmitting signal through hole 13a and a receiving signal through hole 13b. The transmitting signal through hole 13a and the receiving signal through hole 13b are arranged relatively on the outer wall of the warehouse body, and the infrared signal transmitting path of the infrared signal transmitting device 91 passes through the transmitting signal through hole 13a, and the infrared signal receiving path of the infrared signal receiving device 92 passes through the receiving signal through hole 13b. In this way, the infrared signal emitted by the infrared signal transmitting device 91 will pass through the transmitting signal through hole 13a and the receiving signal through hole 13b when there is no obstacle, and will eventually be received by the infrared signal receiving device 92. When the user inserts the mobile charging device into the compartment 10, the mobile charging device blocks the transmission path of the infrared signal, and the infrared signal receiving device 92 will not receive the infrared signal, thereby triggering the push rod to push the limiting device to switch to a non-fixed state, thereby releasing the restriction on the movement of the push rod.

[0066] In this way, even if the user inserts the mobile charging device incorrectly or unreliably, the user can press the push rod 3 to eject the mobile charging device and try to insert it again.

[0067] When the user correctly inserts the mobile charging device into the locked state, that is, when the locking end 42 of the locking member 4 is inserted into the locking groove of the mobile charging device, the metal contact provided at the end of the mobile charging device away from the entrance 10a contacts the detection mechanism provided at the end of the warehouse body 10 away from the entrance 10a, and the mobile charging device is judged to be returned to the right position, and then locked, and the push rod is triggered to trigger the push rod to push the limiting device to switch to the fixed state, and the user will not be able to press the push rod 3.

[0068] Please note that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and the technical principles used.
