[0083] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the embodiments of the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the embodiments of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0084] The terms used in the disclosed embodiments are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the disclosed embodiments.

It should also be understood that the term "and / or" used herein refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items.

[0085] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used to describe various information in the disclosed embodiments, these information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of the disclosed embodiments, the first information may also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as the first information. Depending on the context, the words "if" and "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "at" or "when" or "in response to determination".

[0086] The technical solution of the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0087] In the related art, the current curve diagram when the constant current to constant current method is used for current control is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, from Figure 1It can be seen that the current adjustment method is a "step" or "pulse" adjustment method. This adjustment method is simple to control, but the control to achieve a certain functional requirement is relatively rough. When regulating the charging current, a certain target current value is directly regulated, without detailed configuration and optimization of the transition process. For example, due to temperature restrictions during charging, the current is expected to be adjusted from 6A to 4A. The charging current is directly adjusted from 6A to 4A. The voltage curve diagram when the constant current to constant current method is used for current regulation is as follows Figure 2 As shown, from Figure 2 It can be seen that the voltage will drop when the current is adjusted. When the current is regulated due to temperature limitation, the temperature will also drop. The temperature curve diagram is shown in Figure 3 Although the constant current to constant current method can achieve the current regulation result, it ignores the performance of charging speed and temperature control, which is prone to problems such as battery cell voltage drop and temperature drop during temperature control.

[0088] Figure 4 1 is a flow chart of a charging control method according to an exemplary embodiment. The charging control method is applied to a terminal with a charging function or a device capable of charging a terminal, such as a charger. The terminal includes a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, etc. Figure 4 As shown, the charging control method includes the following steps.

[0089] In step S11, when it is detected that the preset trigger condition is triggered, the target current value is determined;

[0090] In step S12, determining the target control strategy corresponding to the preset trigger condition;

[0091] In step S13, the charging current is regulated to the target current value based on the target regulation strategy.

[0092] In this embodiment, the preset trigger condition is divided into at least two types of trigger conditions, which are recorded as a first trigger condition and a second trigger condition. For example, the preset trigger condition may be a temperature trigger condition or a voltage trigger condition.

[0093] In some embodiments, when the temperature reaches a temperature threshold, it is determined that the temperature trigger condition is triggered. For example, when the temperature reaches 36°, it is determined that the temperature trigger condition is triggered.

[0094] In some embodiments, when the voltage reaches the voltage threshold, it is determined that the voltage trigger condition is triggered. For example, when the voltage reaches 4.25V, it is determined that the voltage trigger condition is triggered.

[0095] In this embodiment, the target current value is the final current value expected to be achieved after current regulation. In this embodiment, the target current values ​​corresponding to different preset trigger conditions may be different. Exemplarily, when the first trigger condition is triggered, the target current value is determined to be the first target current value according to the first trigger condition; when the second trigger condition is triggered, the target current value is determined to be the second target current value according to the second trigger condition.

[0096] In this embodiment, different preset trigger conditions may correspond to different target control strategies. For example, the first trigger condition corresponds to the first target control strategy, and the second trigger condition corresponds to the second target control strategy.

[0097] For example, the target control strategy corresponding to the voltage trigger condition is: constant voltage control mode. The target control strategy corresponding to the voltage trigger condition is: time control mode.

[0098] Among them, the constant voltage control method refers to the constant voltage control based on the cell voltage. Constant voltage means that the output voltage of the charger or the input voltage of the battery is fixed.

[0099] The battery can be understood as a series connection between a resistor R and a capacitor C. When a voltage is applied to the series connection of a resistor and a capacitor, the voltage of the capacitor will gradually rise, the voltage of the resistor will gradually decrease, and the current will gradually decrease. This is a decay process. During the constant voltage process, the current will gradually decrease. When the current is as small as a certain level, such as 200mA, the battery is determined to be fully charged and charging is terminated.

[0100] Among them, the time control method refers to the time control based on the time step. If it is divided into multiple gears to achieve the control of the charging current to the target current value, the time step refers to the time interval between the current gear and its adjacent gear. Here, the gear can be a voltage gear or a current gear.

[0101] In practical applications, the time step can be linearly equal in length or increase exponentially.

[0102] Exemplarily, the current value when the preset trigger condition is triggered is reduced to the target current value and is divided into N gears, and the time interval is the execution time from the current gear to its adjacent gear. Exemplarily, the voltage value when the preset trigger condition is triggered is reduced to the target voltage value and is divided into M gears, and the time interval is the execution time from the current gear to its adjacent gear. In practical applications, the values ​​of N and M can be adjusted according to actual conditions such as design requirements or user requirements to enhance the user experience.

[0103] For example, when controlling by time, the length of the time step can be specified, such as reducing the current by 50mA or the voltage by 20mV every 100mS.

[0104] In the technical solution described in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when it is detected that a preset trigger condition is triggered, a target current value is determined; a target control strategy corresponding to the preset trigger condition is determined; and the charging current is regulated to the target current value based on the target control strategy; in this way, by selecting a target control strategy that is compatible with the preset trigger condition, the charging current is regulated to the target current value, which can make current control more flexible; a constant voltage control method is used to improve the problem of cell voltage drop in traditional solutions, and a time interval control method can solve the problem of temperature drop during temperature control, which can effectively improve the charging strategy while also increasing the charging speed.

[0105] The technical solution of the present application can be applied to the field of terminal fast charging, and can also be expanded to the charging functions of other electronic devices or terminals.

[0106] based on Figure 1 In the technical solution shown, in some embodiments, the preset trigger condition is divided into at least a first trigger condition and a second trigger condition, and the method further includes:

[0107] Step S14 ( Figure 1 Not shown): In the process of regulating the charging current to a first target current value by a first target control strategy based on a first trigger condition, if it is detected that a second trigger condition is triggered, a second target control strategy based on the second trigger condition determines a second target current value, and compares the first target current value and the second target current value to obtain a comparison result; determine whether to adjust the first target current value to the second target current value based on the comparison result.

[0108] In this way, after the first trigger condition is triggered, in the process of regulating the charging current according to the first trigger condition, if the second trigger condition is also triggered, the influence of the second trigger condition on the regulation process will also be considered, so that the regulation process is more in line with the actual situation, and there is no need to continue to start the current regulation due to the second trigger condition after the current regulation initiated by the first trigger condition is completed, avoiding the problem that one regulation can only solve one trigger condition.

[0109] In some implementations, determining whether to adjust the first target current value to a second target current value according to the comparison result includes:

[0110] If the comparison result indicates that the first target current value is greater than the second target current value, determining to adjust the first target current value to the second target current value;

[0111] If the comparison result indicates that the first target current value is less than or equal to the second target current value, it is determined not to adjust the first target current value to the second target current value.

[0112] Exemplarily, the voltage trigger condition is triggered, and constant voltage regulation is used to make the current I C1 Down to I C2 ; At the same time, the temperature trigger condition is also triggered, and time regulation is required to allow I C1 Adjust to I trig1 , now we need to compare I C2 and I trig2 The minimum value of the two is selected as the target current.

[0113] based on Figure 1 In the technical solution shown, if the preset trigger condition is divided into at least a first trigger condition and a second trigger condition, in some embodiments, step S11 includes:

[0114] Step S11a: when it is detected that the first trigger condition is triggered, determining the target current value as a first target current value according to the first trigger condition; or

[0115] Step S11b: when it is detected that the second trigger condition is triggered, determining the target current value as a second target current value according to the second trigger condition; or

[0116] Step S11c: When it is detected that the first trigger condition and the second trigger condition are triggered at the same time, the first target current value is determined according to the first trigger condition, the second target current value is determined according to the second trigger condition, and the minimum value of the first target current value and the second target current value is determined as the target current value.

[0117] In this way, the adjusted target current value can meet both the exiting first trigger condition and the exiting second trigger condition, which helps to quickly solve various triggering problems encountered during charging and avoid the problem of having to start the regulation again because the adjusted target current value only meets the first trigger condition but does not meet the exiting second trigger condition, thereby increasing the charging speed.

[0118] based on Figure 1 In the technical solution shown, if the preset trigger condition is divided into at least a first trigger condition and a second trigger condition, in some embodiments, the first trigger condition is a voltage trigger condition or a temperature trigger condition, and the second trigger condition is a temperature trigger condition or a voltage trigger condition, the step S12 includes:

[0119] Step S12a: when it is detected that the voltage trigger condition is triggered, determining that the target control strategy matching the voltage trigger condition is a constant voltage control mode; or

[0120] Step S12b: when it is detected that the temperature trigger condition is triggered, determining that the target control strategy matching the temperature trigger condition is a time control mode; or

[0121] Step S12c: when it is detected that the voltage trigger condition and the temperature trigger condition are triggered at the same time, determining the target control strategy to be one of a constant voltage control mode and a time control mode.

[0122] In this way, selecting the corresponding target control strategy according to the type of trigger condition helps to complete charging quickly.

[0123] Because the simplified model of the battery can be equivalent to an RC series connection, when the battery cell voltage is constant during charging, the current will decay exponentially, I(t) = I0*exp(-t / RC), where t represents time, I0 represents the current before adjustment, I(t) represents the current value corresponding to time t, C represents the equivalent capacitive reactance of the battery, and R represents the equivalent impedance of the battery. Figure 5 The current curve diagram of voltage regulation based on constant voltage of the battery cell is shown. Figure 6 A schematic diagram of a voltage curve of voltage-type regulation based on a constant cell voltage is shown.

[0124] based on Figure 1 In the technical solution shown, if the preset trigger condition is divided into at least a first trigger condition and a second trigger condition, in some embodiments, the method further includes: determining an initial current value when the preset trigger condition is triggered;

[0125] The step S13 comprises:

[0126] Step S13a: regulating the charging current step by step from the initial current value to the target current value.

[0127] Here, the step refers to the step-by-step implementation of adjusting the initial current value to the target current value. The number of steps can be involved or adjusted according to actual conditions such as design requirements or user needs. For example, taking the initial current value of 6A to the target current of 3A as an example, relative to the direct drop from 6A transient to the target current of 3A, it is divided into three steps from 6A to 5A, from 5A to 4A, and from 4A to 3A. Continuing to take the example of the reduction from the initial current value of 6A to the target current of 3A, in addition to being divided into three gears, it can also be divided into six steps from 6A to 5.5A, from 5.5A to 5A, from 5A to 4.5A, from 4.5A to 4A, from 4A to 3.5A, and from 3.5A to 3A.

[0128] In some embodiments, step S13a includes:

[0129] Step S13aa: determining a step length for adjusting the initial current value to the target current value, wherein the step length is a voltage step length or a current step length;

[0130] Step S13ab: determining the time step for implementing each step length;

[0131] Step S13ac: According to the step size and the time step size, the charging current is regulated from the initial current value to the target current value.

[0132] Among them, the step length can be determined according to the total step length and the total number of steps. For example, taking the reduction from the initial current value of 6A to the target current of 3A as an example, the total step length is 6A-3A=3A. If the number of steps is selected as 3, the step length is 3A / 3=1A, from 6A to 5A is a step length, from 5A to 4A is a step length, and from 4A to 3A is a step length; if the number of steps is selected as 6, the step length is 3A / 6=0.5A, from 6A to 5.5A is a step length, from 5.5A to 5A is a step length, from 5A to 4.5A is a step length, from 4.5A to 4A is a step length, from 4A to 3.5A is a step length, and from 3.5A to 3A is a step length.

[0133] For example, from 4.25V to 4.35V, the total step length is 4.35V-4.25V=0.1V. If the number of steps is selected as 2, the step length is 0.1V / 2=0.05V. From 4.35V to 4.30V is one step length, and from 4.30V to 4.25V is one step length.

[0134] In some embodiments, step S13ab includes:

[0135] Step S13ab1: according to the principle of equal time step length, determine the time step length for achieving each step length;

[0136] The principle of equal time step length means that the time step length of each step is equal. For example, the current is reduced by 50mA every 100mS, or the voltage is increased by 20mV every 100mS.

[0137] In practical applications, the slope of the current change can be adjusted by adjusting the time interval of the step size.

[0138] For example, dI = 50mA, d represents the step size (similar to the meaning of calculus), dI is the step size reduction value of the current. dt = 100ms or dt = 500ms, dt is the step size time interval, which can be set to 50ms or 100ms or other time.

[0139] Figure 7 and Figure 8 The current curve schematic diagrams are shown respectively when the slope of the current change is adjusted by adjusting the time interval of the step size. Figure 7 Relative to Figure 8 For example, the time step is short, and the total time taken to drop from 6A to 4.2A is short; Figure 8 Relative to Figure 7 For example, the time step is long, and the total time taken to drop from 6A to 4.2A is long.

[0140] In some embodiments, step S13ab includes:

[0141] Step S13ab2: According to the principle of exponential growth of time steps, determine the time step for achieving each step.

[0142] The exponential growth principle of the time step means that the time step of each step is used as a variable, and the rate of growth of the variable is proportional to its current quantity. Assuming that the variable x grows exponentially with time t, then by definition, the change in x obeys the following differential equation: x'=kx, where k>0 is a constant representing a proportion of the growth of x.

[0143] Exemplarily, dI=50mA; dt(n)=RC*ln{[I0-(n-1)dI] / [I0-ndI]}, where dI represents the step reduction value of the current, I0 represents the current before adjustment, n represents the nth step, C represents the equivalent capacitive reactance of the battery, R represents the equivalent impedance of the battery, and dt(n) represents the time step when passing the nth step during the current regulation process.

[0144] Fig. 9 The current curve is shown in the case of exponential growth of the time interval. Fig. 9 It can be seen that the time step is variable and grows exponentially.

[0145] In some embodiments, step S13ab includes:

[0146] Step S13ab3: Determine the time step for implementing each of the step lengths according to the temperature range of the battery temperature during regulation, wherein different temperature ranges correspond to different time step selection principles.

[0147] In this way, the use of this current regulation strategy can make the control process more flexible and can ensure temperature control and charging speed at the same time.

[0148] In some embodiments, different step types may be pre-set according to different temperature ranges.

[0149] Here, the step type includes a time step of equal length and a time step of exponentially increasing length.

[0150] In this way, it is convenient to refer to the battery temperature during the adjustment process, so as to select a more appropriate time step, effectively improve the charging efficiency and optimize the charging details.

[0151] It should be understood that the above Figure 5-Figure 9 This is an optional specific implementation method, but is not limited to this.

[0152] It should also be understood that Figure 5-Figure 9 It is only for the purpose of illustrating the embodiments of the present disclosure, and those skilled in the art may Figure 5-Figure 9 Various obvious changes and / or substitutions can be made to the examples, and the resulting technical solutions still fall within the scope of the disclosure of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0153] In actual applications, the voltage of the battery will rise during the charging process. Assuming that the battery voltage range is 3.4V-4.3V, the battery voltage is 3.4V when it is out of power, and 4.3V when it is fully charged. In the process from 3.4V to 4.3V, the existing solution is to charge with a fixed current. After charging to 4.3V, it must be converted to a constant voltage mode, because during the charging process, the constant current to the battery has a certain impedance, part of which is the line impedance and part of which is the internal resistance of the battery. Under a certain current, such as 3A, the battery voltage is charged to 4.3V, but once the charging is stopped, the battery voltage will drop a little, because 4.3V is equal to the battery cell voltage + IR, I = 3A, R = line impedance + battery internal resistance. If you keep charging with 3A, it is impossible to fully charge the battery. If you use a constant current method and raise the voltage at the same time, such as charging to 4.4v or 4.5v, the battery may be fully charged, but there is a risk of overpressure. After the battery is overpressured, it may explode or age. In the scheme described in this application, battery charging has a process of constant current and then constant voltage. For example, first charge to 4.3V with constant current, and then charge with constant voltage. The constant voltage method here means that after the trigger condition is triggered, it is converted into constant voltage charging, and after the conversion to constant voltage, the output voltage of the charger or the input voltage of the battery is fixed. The battery can be understood as a resistor and a capacitor in series. When the voltage of the capacitor gradually rises, the voltage of the resistor will gradually decrease, and the current will gradually decrease. This is a decay process. During the constant voltage process, the current will gradually decrease. When the current is small to a certain extent, such as the current is as small as 200mA, we think the battery is fully charged.

[0154] In order to achieve fast charging, a larger current is used to charge the battery before the voltage reaches 4.1 or 4.2V. For example, 6A is used to charge the battery first, then it is converted to 5A when it reaches 4.2V, 4A when it reaches 4.3V, 3A when it reaches 4.35V, and then it is converted to constant voltage. In other words, the constant current is not a fixed current value, but is divided into several steps, which are 6A, 5A, 4A, and 3A. Adopting the scheme of this application, add a constant voltage (i.e. CV) between the two current steps. When it drops from 6A to 5A, use 6A charging to reach 4.2V, and use 4.2v constant voltage charging. During the constant voltage charging process, the current gradually decays, and the current will slowly drop from 6A to 5A; when it drops from 6A to 5A, we think it has reached the next step, and let the current continue to be constant at 5A. When it reaches 4.3V with 5A constant current charging, the next stage will drop to 4A. In this process, it is not allowed to drop directly to 4A, but it is still added with a constant voltage, so that it gradually drops to 4A during the constant voltage process. Repeat until the battery is fully charged. From 5A to 4A, from 4A to 3A, this CV is called step CV, i.e. (CV taper). During the constant voltage process, the current gradually decreases. The process of gradual decrease is called current regulator (current taper). Among the current tapers, the most basic technology step taper directly reduces it through a step. The step taper is triggered by voltage triggering, such as the process of decreasing from 5A to 4A and then gradually maintaining constant voltage. Another is temperature triggering, because during the charging process, the current is very large at the beginning and the temperature may rise very high, which will affect the user experience. When the battery temperature reaches 37°, it decreases from 5A to 3.5A. In the prior art, it is directly reduced from 5A to 3.5A. This application does not want it to drop instantly, but wants it to have a taper, that is, a process of gradually decreasing. There may be two types of tapers, one is a time step taper, and the other is a constant voltage taper.

[0155] Compared with the existing technical solutions, the charging current adjustment technology of the present application can realize the transition detail control of the current adjustment, rather than simple direct regulation. For example, if the charging current is adjusted from 6A to 4A, the present application solution will refine the technology and method of the gradual change process to achieve a process from 6A to 4A. The gradual process can choose the implementation method, constant voltage control or time step control, the step size can be selected, the control slope can be selected, and so on.

[0156] The usage scenarios of this application are terminal charging scenarios, including power-off charging, standby charging, screen-on charging, etc. In these scenarios, the charging current will be adjusted according to the battery voltage and the detected surface temperature. The current control technology of this application can make the performance of current control transition better, such as faster charging speed and better temperature control. The technical solution described in this embodiment makes current control more flexible, and adopts constant voltage control to improve the problem of battery cell voltage drop in traditional solutions. The use of time interval control can solve the problem of temperature drop during temperature control. While effectively improving the charging strategy, it can also increase the charging speed.
