The embodiments described below are presented by way of example to explain the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0027] It should be noted that at present, various electronic devices have higher and higher requirements for power managers. The power manager is responsible for power conversion, monitoring, management and control on one hand, and more and more systems also put forward the requirements of flexible optimization management of multiple power energy input and output, adaptive matching of interface parameters, SOC (State of charge) monitoring, terminal display and other functions, especially some portable electronic equipment, which also needs to have the functions of lightweight, small size, emergency measures and the like. Based on such requirements, the present application proposes a lightweight, low-power, flexible management power management system applied to portable devices.

[0028] The power management system and method applied to portable devices of the embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Figure 1 The structural block diagram of the power management system applied to portable devices provided by the embodiments of the present application.

[0030] It should be noted that the portable device in the embodiments of the present application can include wearable devices, such as smart phones.

[0031] As shown in Figure 1 The power management system applied to portable devices 1000 includes a hardware component 100 and a software component 200. The hardware component 100 includes a power conversion unit 110, a micro processing unit 120 and a communication interface 130 integrated in one package.

[0032] The power conversion unit 110 is configured to perform power conversion on the input power. The micro processing unit 120 is connected to the power conversion unit 110, and the micro processing unit 120 is configured to control the power conversion unit 110 according to the running data of the hardware component 100. The communication interface 130 is connected to the micro processing unit 120 and the software component 200 respectively. The software component 200 is configured to control the micro processing unit 120 through the communication interface 130.

[0033] Specifically, in actual application, the power conversion unit 110 charges the load after power conversion (voltage increase or decrease) of the input power, in the process of charging, the software component 200 can drive the micro processing unit 120 to work through the communication interface 130, so that the micro processing unit 120 can detect the running data of the hardware component in real time, and control the power conversion unit 110 according to the detected running data, so that the running data of the hardware component 100 meets the appropriate conditions or normal operation. It can be understood that, under normal circumstances, the input power is the power provided by the external battery outside the power management system 1000.

[0034] Wherein, the power conversion unit 110 can be a DC / DC converter. The micro processing unit 120 can be a DSP (Digital Signal Processing) chip. The communication interface 130 can be a Bluetooth data communication interface.

[0035] In one embodiment, the running data of the hardware component 100 can include at least one of the running voltage, the running current and the communication data.

[0036] Specifically, when the power conversion unit 110 charges the load through the input power, the software component 200 can drive the micro processing unit 120 to detect the running voltage and the running current of the power conversion unit 110 in real time, and judge the running voltage and the running current. After analysis, the corresponding adjustment is output, so as to output the appropriate running voltage and running current to the power conversion unit 110, so that the power conversion unit 110 provides the required power to the external load.

[0037] Meanwhile, the software component can also drive the micro processing unit 120 to detect the communication data corresponding to the communication interface 130 in real time, and determine whether the communication data is normal, if normal, continue to charge, if not normal, the user can be alarmed to prompt the user that the communication is abnormal.

[0038] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the application, the software component 200 can be compiled by using VS2015 and SMOBILER software platform, and the software framework adopts C+S (client + server) mode. Wherein, the server side is based on windows (an operating system) and SQL (a database management system), and the client side runs based on the running environment of portable electronic equipment. The graphical interface can be used on the client side to monitor the working state of the power management system and manage the running strategy.

[0039] The power management system of the embodiment of the application can be integrated in the range of 80mm / 1kg in combination with the application scene, device size and weight.

[0040] Thus, the system integrates the power conversion unit, the micro-processing unit and the communication interface into one, and controls the micro-processing unit by the software component configured in the portable device, having the advantages of high integration, small size and light weight, so as to be applied not only to the portable device, but also to the expansion of the software component.

[0041] It should be noted that, in order to realize the flexible charging input control, in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 , the software component 200 can include a first control unit 210. The first control unit 210 is configured to drive the micro-processing unit 120 to control the power conversion unit 110 according to the input voltage of the power conversion unit.

[0042] Further, the first control unit 210 can be specifically configured to: call a preset voltage identification table according to the input voltage, to determine the type of the input power supply; determine the target input parameter of the power conversion unit 110 corresponding to the type according to the type of the input power supply; and drive the micro-processing unit to control the power conversion unit based on the target input parameter.

[0043] The preset voltage identification table (recording the input voltage range and the corresponding type of the input power supply) can be set by the manufacturer or the user according to the requirements, and is usually stored in the software component and called when actually used.

[0044] Specifically, the micro-processing unit 120 can detect and acquire the input voltage of the power conversion unit 110 in real time, and can send the input voltage to the first control unit 210, and then the first control unit 210 calls the preset voltage identification table to determine the type of the input power supply according to the range of the input voltage, and then determines the DC / DC input parameter corresponding to the type, i.e., the target input parameter, and then the first control unit 210 drives the micro-processing unit 20 to control the power conversion unit 110 according to the target input parameter, so that the input voltage of the power conversion unit 110 meets the actual input voltage and its change.

[0045] Thus, the flexible charging input control is realized by the software component, the automatic identification of the power supply with different voltage levels is realized, the use of various power supplies is compatible to realize the charging of the rear-end battery, and the charging intelligence is improved.

[0046] It should be noted that, in order to realize the flexible charging output control, in an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 2 , the software component 200 can include a second control unit 220. The second control unit 220 is configured to drive the micro-processing unit 120 to control the power conversion unit 110 according to the voltage of the output end of the power conversion unit.

[0047] Further, the second control unit 220 is specifically configured to: according to the voltage at the output end of the power conversion unit, call a preset load identification table to determine the type of load at the output end of the power conversion unit; according to the type of load, determine the target output parameter of the power conversion unit corresponding to the type and the target charging curve of the load; and based on the target output parameter and the target charging curve, drive the micro-processing unit 120 to control the power conversion unit 110.

[0048] The preset load identification table (recording the load voltage range and the type of load corresponding thereto and the charging curve of the load) can be specifically set by the manufacturer or the user according to requirements, and is usually stored in a software component and called when actually used.

[0049] Specifically, the micro-processing unit 120 can detect and acquire the voltage at the output end of the power conversion unit 110 in real time, and can send the voltage to the second control unit 220, and then the second control unit 220 calls the preset load identification table to determine the type of load at the output end of the power conversion unit 110 according to the range of the voltage, and then determines the DC / DC output parameter corresponding to the type, that is, the target output parameter, and simultaneously determines the target charging curve corresponding to the type, and then the second control unit 220 drives the micro-processing unit 20 to control the power conversion unit 110 according to the target input parameter and the target charging curve, so that the output voltage of the power conversion unit 110 meets the output voltage and the battery charging process.

[0050] Therefore, the flexible charging output control is realized by the software component, the adaptive identification of different voltage grade battery packs is realized, the charging of various battery packs is realized, and the charging intelligence is further improved.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 The hardware component 100 can further include a first battery 140, and the software component 200 can include a first monitoring unit 230 and a third control unit 240.

[0052] The first monitoring unit 230 is configured to monitor whether the input power supply stops supplying power, and the third control unit 240 is configured to drive the micro-processing unit 120 to input the first power output by the first battery into the power conversion unit when the input power supply stops supplying power.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, the battery of the power management system is referred to as the first battery, and the power output by the first battery is referred to as the first power.

[0054] Specifically, during the charging process, the first monitoring unit 230 of the software component 200 can monitor the input power in real time, and when the input power is monitored to stop supplying power, the third control unit 240 can drive the micro-processing unit 120 to control the power conversion unit 110 to output the first power supplied by the first battery 140 to supply power to the external load, thereby realizing the emergency charging function started by the first battery.

[0055] Further, the first monitoring unit 230 is further used for monitoring the first battery capacity of the first battery 140, and the third control unit 240 is further used for alarming when the first battery capacity of the first battery 140 is less than a preset threshold.

[0056] The preset threshold can be the minimum amount of electricity acceptable to the first battery set by the manufacturer when leaving the factory, for example, it can be 30% of the electricity.

[0057] Specifically, when the first battery is used to charge the external load, the first monitoring unit 230 of the software component can monitor the first battery capacity of the first battery 140 in real time, so that when the first battery capacity of the first battery 140 is less than 30% of the electricity, the third control unit 240 alarms to automatically prompt the user to determine whether to continue forced charging or stop emergency charging.

[0058] Therefore, the software component starts the emergency charging function in the emergency state, ensures the normal power supply to the external load, and also ensures the safety of the battery itself.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, the first monitoring unit 230 can also be used to monitor the second battery capacity and / or the battery health degree of the second battery at the output end of the power conversion unit during the charging process, and determine the current performance of the second battery according to the second battery capacity and / or the battery health degree; the third control unit 240 can also be used to determine whether to drive the micro-processing unit to pulse control or intermittent control the power conversion unit according to the current performance of the second battery.

[0060] The second battery can be a lithium battery pack or a single battery.

[0061] Specifically, when the power management system charges the second battery, the first monitoring unit 230 can monitor the second battery capacity and / or the battery health degree of the second battery at the output end of the power conversion unit in real time, and determine the current performance of the second battery according to the second battery capacity and / or the battery health degree, and send the current performance to the third control unit 240, so that the third control unit 240 determines whether to drive the micro-processing unit 120 to pulse control or intermittent control the power conversion unit 110 according to the current performance of the second battery.

[0062] Specifically, when the current performance of the second battery is low or continuously decreases, the third control unit 240 can drive the micro-processing unit 120 to realize the functions of battery performance maintenance and capacity activation through pulse control, intermittent control and other charge and discharge control means.

[0063] Therefore, the performance of the external battery can be monitored and maintained in real time through the software component, so that the charging safety is further improved.

[0064] In order to more clearly describe the power management system of the embodiment of the application, the following will be described in combination with Figure 4 :

[0065] As shown in Figure 4 , generally, the photovoltaic cell or the fuel cell is connected with the input end of the power conversion unit 110 and the output end of the power conversion unit 110 is connected with the external lithium battery, so as to realize the charging of the external lithium battery. Specifically, the power conversion unit 110 converts the input power into a voltage form acceptable by the system, the processor DSP collects current data and voltage data, and then detects, judges and analyzes, and then outputs appropriate voltage and current to the power conversion unit 110, and the conversion circuit connects the external lithium battery to charge the external lithium battery. At the same time, the DSP can also have the functions of power alarm and battery protection, which are realized by software. In this process, the external photovoltaic cell or fuel cell provides the input power, and when the input power stops supplying, that is, the input end is not connected with the battery, the battery of the power management system itself acts as an emergency battery to charge the external lithium battery.

[0066] The software component is configured in the mobile phone, and the monitoring of the hardware component can be realized through the mobile phone app (application), so as to realize the communication and interaction between the mobile phone and the power management system.
