[0037] A disinfection and sterilization control system is provided in this embodiment. The disinfection and sterilization control system of this embodiment is applied to the control of shared power bank rental equipment. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a disinfection and sterilization control system according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the disinfection and sterilization control system includes a control module 100, and a state detection module 200, a switch module 300 and a charging compartment module 400 electrically connected to the control module 100, the charging compartment module 400 includes a plurality of charging compartments and a plurality of sterilization units 41, and the plurality of sterilization units 41 are respectively arranged on the side of the compartment channel and / or the compartment opening of each charging compartment, and the switch module 300 is electrically connected to the sterilization unit 41, wherein,

[0038] The sterilization unit 41 includes but is not limited to an ultraviolet sterilization lamp, and the ultraviolet sterilization lamp is preferably an ultraviolet lamp bead that can emit ultraviolet rays with a wavelength of 254nm. Similarly, depending on different situations, the sterilization unit 41 can also be an ozone device or a high-energy ray device.

[0039] The status detection module 200 is used to detect the presence status of the power bank in each charging compartment and the open / closed status of the compartment door of the charging compartment, and generate first status information corresponding to each charging compartment.

[0040] In this embodiment, the status detection module 200 detects the power banks stored in the charging bin to determine the status of the power banks in each charging bin; in this embodiment, after determining that a power bank is stored in the charging bin, the status detection module 200 also determines the status of the power bank by obtaining the internal voltage and power value of the power bank. When the internal voltage and power value of the power bank reach the set value, that is, the charging of the power bank is completed, the first status information generated by the status detection module 200 based on the inspection of the corresponding status of the power bank and the opening and closing status of the bin door of the charging bin is valid.

[0041] The control module 100 is used to determine whether the power bank is out of the warehouse and whether the warehouse door is closed according to the received first status information after receiving the rental signal and sending the first control signal to the switch module 300 to close the sterilization unit 41, and generate a first switch signal accordingly; and to determine whether the power bank is in the warehouse and whether the warehouse door is closed according to the received first status information after receiving the return signal and sending the first control signal to the switch module 300, and generate a second switch signal accordingly.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the power bank is rented or returned, it is necessary to first execute the operation of closing the sterilization unit 41 to avoid directly opening the door of the warehouse without closing the sterilization unit 41 after the power bank or the empty warehouse is disinfected and sterilized, causing a safety accident caused by irradiating the human body when the power bank is rented or returned; of course, after the control module 100 receives the rental signal, the first control signal sent to the ultraviolet switch module 300 controls the sterilization unit 41 set in the charging warehouse where the power bank can be rented. Similarly, after the control module 100 receives the return signal, the first control signal sent to the ultraviolet switch module 300 controls the sterilization unit 41 set in the charging warehouse that is empty and configured as a return warehouse. Thereafter, the control module 100 also controls the above-mentioned sterilization unit 41.

[0043] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, after the power bank enters the warehouse, the closed state of the warehouse door includes at least the following two situations: one is: the power bank is completely entered into the warehouse, the warehouse door is closed, and the power bank is located at the front end of the warehouse door in the direction of entering the warehouse; the other is: the power bank enters the warehouse, but the tail of the power bank is placed at the warehouse opening, and the warehouse door is squeezed and overturned by the power bank to the inner wall of the warehouse passage of the charging warehouse. At this time, the warehouse opening of the charging warehouse is sealed by the tail of the power bank, which is equivalent to the door being closed.

[0044] It should be noted that if the sterilization of the power bank is not completed, the power bank rental behavior occurs. At this time, the power bank that has not completed the sterilization is not allowed to be rented until the power bank is sterilized. At the same time, after the sterilization is completed, the sterilization unit 41 needs to be closed before the rental is allowed; corresponding to the return operation of the power bank, when the sterilization of the empty warehouse is not completed, the power bank return behavior occurs. At this time, it can be set to allow the return of the power bank, but before the power bank is returned, the sterilization unit 41 needs to be closed before the door of the empty warehouse is allowed to be opened. After the power bank is returned, the sterilization unit 41 is opened again to sterilize the charging warehouse and the power bank; or when the door is opened when the power bank is returned, the sterilization unit 41 is immediately closed, and when the power bank is returned, the sterilization unit 41 is opened again. In this way, the sterilization unit 41 can sterilize the power bank and the charging warehouse after the power bank is returned, thereby saving the energy consumed by disinfection and sterilization. Understandably, it can also be set as follows: when the sterilization of the empty warehouse is not completed, the power bank return behavior occurs, and it is set to not allow the power bank return operation.

[0045] The switch module 300 is further used to control the corresponding sterilization unit to operate according to a preset operating mode corresponding to the first switch signal or the second switch signal when receiving the first switch signal and / or the second switch signal transmitted by the control module 100.

[0046] In this embodiment, the switch module 300 can be set as a switch module 300 to control a sterilization unit 41, or a total switch module 300 can be set to control multiple sterilization units 41 arranged in multiple charging compartments; when the switch module 300 controls multiple sterilization units 41, the first switch signal and the second switch signal generated by the control module 100 will be transmitted to the switch module 300 accordingly, so the switch module 300 will receive the first switch signal and / or the second switch signal, and when the switch module 300 receives the first switch signal and / or the second switch signal, it will control the corresponding sterilization unit 41 to operate in accordance with the preset working mode corresponding to the first switch signal or the second switch signal; of course, when the switch module 300 receives the first switch signal and the second switch signal at the same time, the corresponding sterilization unit 41 must not be the same sterilization unit 41, that is, one sterilization unit 41 cannot be controlled to operate in accordance with the preset working mode corresponding to the first switch signal and the second switch signal at the same time.

[0047] In this embodiment, the preset working mode is to control the preset disinfection time of the sterilization unit for disinfection work, or the light intensity of the sterilizing ultraviolet rays.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first switch signal and the second switch signal are related to whether the power bank has been taken out of the warehouse, whether the power bank has been put into the warehouse, and whether the warehouse door is closed, and the sterilization unit 41 is turned on or off accordingly according to different states. For example: During the rental process of the power bank, if it is detected that the power bank has been taken out of the warehouse and the warehouse door has not been closed, at this time, the first switch signal corresponds to a signal to keep the sterilization unit 41 closed. For another example: During the return of the power bank, if it is detected that the warehouse door is opened and the power bank has been put into the warehouse, but the warehouse door is not closed, at this time, the second switch information corresponds to a signal to keep the sterilization unit 41 closed; at the same time, if it is detected that the warehouse door is opened and a return signal is received again, and the return signal is associated with the charging warehouse with the warehouse door opened, the return signal will be processed as an invalid signal.

[0049] The disinfection and sterilization control system provided in the embodiment of the present application turns off the sterilization unit 41 before the power bank is rented or returned, and then detects whether the power bank enters or exits the warehouse and the opening and closing status of the warehouse door through the status detection module 200, so as to determine whether to perform a sterilization operation. This solves the problem in the related art that shared power bank rental equipment is not equipped with an effective disinfection device and disinfection method, realizes effective sterilization of the power bank, and avoids the beneficial effect of using liquid disinfectants to sterilize the power bank, which is prone to cause leakage safety risks.

[0050] In some of the implementations, the control module 100 generates a first switch signal to start sterilization when it is determined based on the first status information that the power bank has been out of the warehouse and the warehouse door is closed, and generates a second switch signal to start sterilization when it is determined based on the first status information that the power bank is in the warehouse and the warehouse door is closed; the switch module 300 controls the corresponding sterilization unit 41 to sterilize the empty warehouse when receiving the first switch signal, and controls the corresponding sterilization unit 41 to sterilize the charging warehouse storing the power bank when receiving the second switch signal.

[0052] In this embodiment, the power bank detection device 42 includes but is not limited to a button sensor. When a power bank enters the charging compartment, the button sensor generates a sensor signal, thereby completing the status detection of the power bank entering the compartment. When the power bank pops out of the charging compartment, the button sensor generates a corresponding sensor signal, thereby completing the status detection of the power bank exiting the compartment. In some optional embodiments, the power bank detection device 42 can also generate a corresponding electrical signal when the power bank enters and is locked in the compartment and the pin of the power bank contacts the shared rental device terminal, thereby completing the status detection of the power bank entering the compartment.

[0056] In this embodiment, the timing module 500 includes but is not limited to a clock circuit and a timer. In some optional implementations, the timing module 500 also includes a timer integrated in the control module 100; in this embodiment, the timing module 500 starts timing when the sterilization unit 41 is turned on by the switch module 300, and ends timing after reaching a preset time, and the time when the timing ends corresponds to the end time of the disinfection and sterilization.
