These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, first information may also be referred to as second information without departing from the scope of this invention, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "when," "when," or "in response to a determination."
[0084] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the features in the following embodiments and implementation methods can be combined with each other.
[0085] like Figure 1 As shown, the remote control power supply 100 of the power-consuming device 200 is used to provide power to the power-consuming device 200, and at the same time receive and execute control commands sent from the cloud 300 via a wireless network.
[0086] The aforementioned electrical device 200 can be a power tool, such as an electric drill, electric angle grinder, electric hammer, sprayer, etc. Power tools can also be electric gardening tools, such as pruning machines, lawn mowers, chainsaws, etc., or electric household tools, such as vacuum cleaners, coffee machines, electric fans, juicers, etc. Power tools can also be other types of electrical equipment, such as glue guns, air pumps, emergency lights, etc. In general, the aforementioned electrical device 200 can refer to working equipment that uses a secondary battery or battery pack (such as an energy storage power supply / energy storage station) as a power source. When the electrical device 200 is working, it needs a power source to provide electrical energy to drive the operation of the electrical device.
[0087] Specifically, the remote control power supply 100 is adapted to an indoor fan, such as... Figure 4a and 4b As shown; the remote control power supply 100 can also be adapted to a cleaning robot, such as Figure 4c As shown; the remote control power supply can also be fitted to outdoor car refrigerators, such as Figure 4d and 4e As shown.
[0088] The aforementioned remote control power supply 100 can be built into the power-consuming device 200 to provide power for the operation of the power-consuming device 200; alternatively, it can be externally mounted on the power-consuming device 200, such as when the remote control power supply 100 is used as a specific energy storage power supply 100e, in which case the energy storage power supply 100e is externally mounted and connected to the power cord or data cable of the power-consuming device 200 for power supply (e.g., Figure 4e (As shown).
[0089] like Figure 2 As shown, the aforementioned remote control power supply includes:
[0090] Battery 10 or battery pack, used to provide electrical power to the electrical device 200;
[0091] A wireless communication unit for wirelessly connecting to the cloud 300 and wirelessly connecting to mobile communication devices;
[0092] The control unit is used to receive control commands from the mobile communication device via the wireless communication unit and execute the control commands.
[0093] The data acquisition unit is used to acquire the status information of the electrical device and / or the status information of the remote control power supply.
[0094] The storage unit is used to temporarily store the collected status information when there is no network connection.
[0095] After connecting to the wireless network, the storage unit sends the temporarily stored status information to the cloud via the wireless communication unit.
[0096] In some embodiments, the mobile communication device is indirectly wirelessly connected to the wireless communication unit of the remote control power supply 100, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the mobile communication device is wirelessly connected to the cloud 300, and the cloud 300 is wirelessly connected to the wireless communication unit of the remote control power supply 100. Through the relay of the cloud 300, wireless communication between the mobile communication device and the wireless communication unit of the remote control power supply 100 is achieved. Control commands issued by the mobile communication device are forwarded by the cloud 300 to the wireless communication unit of the remote control power supply 100, and then the wireless communication unit of the remote control power supply 100 forwards the control commands to the control unit of the remote control power supply 100. In other embodiments, the mobile communication device and the wireless communication unit of the remote control power supply 100 are directly wirelessly connected, and the control commands issued by the mobile communication device are directly transmitted to the wireless communication unit of the remote control power supply 100, and then the wireless communication unit of the remote control power supply 100 forwards the control commands to the control unit of the remote control power supply 100.
[0097] The control commands in this embodiment of the invention include at least a power-on command. The control unit is used to drive the battery or battery pack to start the electrical device 200 according to the power-on command, and the electrical device 200 is in a power-on state.
[0098] In some embodiments, the control commands may further include power-off commands and / or parameter setting commands. When the control unit receives a power-off command from a mobile communication device via a wireless unit, the control unit controls the battery 10 or battery pack to turn off the power-consuming device 200, and the power-consuming device 200 is powered off. When the control unit receives a parameter setting command from a mobile communication device via a wireless unit, the control unit sets parameters for the remote-controlled power supply and / or the power-consuming device. For example, the control unit may set parameters such as the output current and / or output voltage of the remote-controlled power supply and / or set the operating mode and operating parameters of the power-consuming device according to the parameter setting command.
[0099] The status information of the remote control power supply may include the status information of the battery / battery pack, or other status information of the remote control power supply.
[0100] In some embodiments, the cloud 300 directly stores the status information transmitted from the storage unit, such as on a high-capacity storage device like a solid-state drive. In other embodiments, the cloud 300 categorizes the status information transmitted from the storage unit and stores it on a high-capacity storage device like a solid-state drive. For example, the cloud 300 can categorize the status information transmitted from the storage unit into status information of the electrical device 200 and status information of the remote control power supply 100, and store them in two folders or different storage areas of the storage device, respectively.
[0101] See Figure 2 The remote control power supply 100 includes a control unit, a data acquisition unit, a storage unit, a communication interface, and an input device. The control unit, data acquisition unit, and storage unit are all communicatively connected to the communication interface. The control unit includes a microprocessor for processing data; it can communicate bidirectionally with the cloud via the communication interface, and also with mobile communication devices. Users can input commands or information into the control unit via the input device, causing the control unit to execute the commands or information.
[0102] The aforementioned battery 10 or battery pack has at least one battery cell, such as one 21700 battery. Alternatively, three or five 21700 batteries can be connected in series to meet the needs of electrical devices operating on different voltage levels. It is worth noting that the above is merely an example and is not limited to the use of 21700 batteries; other types of batteries, such as 18650 batteries, can also be used.
[0103] Furthermore, the aforementioned battery pack may also include at least one battery module, which is composed of multiple batteries connected in series or in parallel, for use as an energy storage power source or an energy storage power station 100e.
[0104] Specifically, the aforementioned remote control power supply 100 exists in various forms, such as:
[0105] Reference Figure 3a The remote control power supply 100a shown is a schematic diagram of a single battery configuration, which contains only one 21700 battery 10.
[0106] Reference Figure 3b The remote control power supply 100b shown is a schematic diagram of a three-battery configuration, which contains three 21700 batteries 10 connected in series.
[0107] Reference Figure 3c The remote control power supply 100c shown is a schematic diagram of a five-battery configuration, which contains five 21700 batteries 10 connected in series.
[0108] Reference Figure 3d The remote control power supply 10d shown is a remote control power supply in the form of multiple single batteries (such as...). Figure 3a The diagram shows a combination of multiple remote control power supplies, specifically four remote control power supplies 100a connected in series or parallel. Of course, it can also be composed of multiple remote control power supplies 100b or 100c connected in series or parallel.
[0109] Reference Figure 3e The remote control power supply shown is a schematic diagram of an energy storage power station, which includes at least one battery module. The battery module is composed of multiple batteries 10. In this case, the battery or battery pack is used as an energy storage power supply or an energy storage power station.
[0110] The aforementioned wireless communication unit is used to achieve wireless communication with the cloud 300. The wireless communication unit has at least a communication module, which can be cellular (e.g., 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G / NB-IoT / LTE-M) or non-cellular (e.g., WiFi / Bluetooth / ZigBee / Lora / Sigfox), or both.
[0111] For example, the aforementioned wireless communication unit can have 4G / 5G communication capabilities, or WiFi / Bluetooth connectivity capabilities, or it can have both 4G / 5G communication capabilities and WiFi / Bluetooth connectivity capabilities simultaneously.
[0112] The cloud mentioned above refers to servers. In this document, "server" should be understood as a business unit that provides processing, database, and communication facilities. For example, a server can refer to a single physical processor with related communication, data storage, and database facilities, or it can refer to a networked or aggregated collection of processors, related networks, and storage devices, operating software and one or more database systems and application software that support the services provided by the server. Servers can vary greatly in configuration and performance, but generally include one or more central processing units and memory. Servers also include one or more mass storage devices, one or more power supplies, one or more wired or wireless network interfaces, one or more input / output interfaces, or one or more operating systems, such as Windows Server, Mac OS X, Unix, Linux, FreeBSD, etc.
[0113] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the cloud can be a monolithic server or distributed servers spanning multiple computers or computer data centers. Servers can be of various types, such as, but not limited to, web servers, news servers, mail servers, messaging servers, advertising servers, file servers, application servers, interactive servers, database servers, or proxy servers. In some embodiments, each server may include hardware, software, or embedded logic components or combinations of two or more such components for performing suitable functions supported or implemented by the server. In this invention, the server is used to provide all the functions necessary to support remote control of the aforementioned remote-controlled power supply.
[0114] The aforementioned cloud includes at least: one or more central processing units; one or more memory and / or mass storage devices; and one or more wired or wireless network interfaces.
[0115] The aforementioned cloud establishes communication with mobile communication devices via a wireless network. The mobile communication devices control the remote-controlled power supply through the cloud, and the remote-controlled power supply periodically reports status information to the cloud.
[0116] The aforementioned mobile communication device includes at least a communication device and a processing device, as well as a memory; the communication device is used to transmit or receive signals via wired or wireless networks; the processing device includes an application processing unit and a radio frequency / digital signal processor; the memory is used to process or store signals in a physical storage state; such as smart terminals like mobile phones, tablets, and laptops.
[0117] In some embodiments, the acquisition unit is used to acquire the status information of the electrical device and / or the status information of the remote control power supply when the electrical device is supplied with power by the remote control power supply. Optionally, the status information acquired by the acquisition unit includes the status of the remote control power supply executing control commands (such as whether the remote control power supply successfully executes the control commands or the information obtained by the remote control power supply based on the control commands).
[0118] The aforementioned acquisition unit can be multiple sensors, which can be built into the electrical device to detect various status information of the electrical device; the sensors are also installed in the battery / battery pack to detect various status information of the battery / battery pack; when the value detected by the aforementioned sensors exceeds a preset threshold, the power supply circuit between the electrical device and the remote control battery is automatically shut off.
[0119] The aforementioned status information includes the status information of the electrical device and / or the status information of the remote control power supply. The status information of the electrical device includes one or more of the following: power consumption status information, power off status information, working status information, location information, remaining power information, and temperature information. The status information of the remote control power supply includes one or more of the following: temperature information, remaining power information, location information, and charging information.
[0120] The aforementioned storage unit can be a FLASH chip, random access memory, or cache chip, or other memory components used to store data information.
[0121] like Figure 5 As shown, when there is no wireless network, the automatic collection and storage process of the above status information is as follows: In step S1, the collection unit collects the status information of the power device and / or remote control power supply; in step S2, the collected status information is stored in the storage unit; after connecting to the wireless network, the following process also exists: In step S3, the storage unit transmits the status information to the cloud through the wireless communication unit, and the cloud classifies and stores the status information.
[0122] like Figure 6 As shown, when a wireless network is in existence, in step S10, the acquisition unit acquires the status information of the power device and / or remote control power supply; in step S20, the acquired status information is transmitted to the cloud through the wireless communication unit, and the cloud classifies and stores the status information.
[0123] like Figure 7 As shown, the query process for the above status information is as follows: In step S100, the mobile communication device sends a query instruction request to the cloud 300; in step S200, after receiving the query instruction request, the cloud searches for the corresponding status information; in step S300, the found status information is sent back to the mobile communication device.
[0124] like Figure 8 As shown, the process of executing the control command is as follows: In step S1000, the mobile communication device sends a request for the control command to the cloud 300; in step S2000, after receiving the request for the control command, the cloud 300 sends the control command to the remote control power supply 100 to control the command; in step S3000, the remote control power supply 100 transmits the status information of executing the control command to the cloud 300; in step S4000, the cloud 300 sends the status information of executing the control command back to the mobile communication device.
[0125] In some embodiments, after the remote control power supply 100 connects to the wireless network via the wireless communication unit, the collection unit collects the status information of the power device 200 and / or the status information of the remote control power supply, and sends the real-time collected status information to the cloud 300 via the wireless network. That is, when there is a wireless network, the remote control power supply 100 transmits the collected status information to the cloud 300 in real time via the wireless network, without the need to temporarily store the collected status information through the storage unit.
[0126] Another embodiment of the aforementioned remote-controlled power supply, such as Figure 9 As shown, it includes a first power supply 700 ( Figure 9 The first power supply 700 (which can be referred to as a charging power supply) and the second power supply 800 shown are composed of the first power supply and the second power supply connected in series or in parallel. The second power supply 800 is connected to the power-consuming device 200 to provide power to the power-consuming device 200. The first power supply 700 has a wireless communication unit for wireless communication with the cloud 300. The wireless communication unit has at least a communication module, specifically, the communication module is cellular (e.g., 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G / NB-IoT / LTE-M).
[0127] The aforementioned first power source 700 preferably adopts the form of an energy storage power station, that is, as follows: Figure 3e As shown, it includes at least one battery module, which is composed of multiple batteries 10. In this case, the battery or battery pack is used as an energy storage power source or an energy storage power station (also known as an outdoor power source).
[0128] Based on existing energy storage power station technology, conventional energy storage power stations or outdoor power supplies have DC and AC output functions, and are equipped with cigarette lighter (car charger) ports, AC power charging ports, solar panel charging ports, PD bidirectional charging and discharging ports, and smart displays, etc. Therefore, when the First Power 700 adopts the form of an energy storage power station, it will also have the conventional essential functions and configurations of existing energy storage power stations.
[0129] The first power source 700 is suitable for charging the second power source 800. Preferably, the capacity (Ah) of the first power source 700 is greater than the capacity (Ah) of the second power source; or the energy (WH) of the first power source 700 is greater than the energy (WH) of the second power source.
[0130] The second power supply 800 also has a wireless communication unit for communicating wirelessly with the first power supply 700. The wireless communication unit has at least a communication module, specifically, the communication module is non-cellular (e.g., WiFi / Bluetooth / ZigBee / Lora / Sigfox).
[0131] The aforementioned second power supply 800 can be built into the electrical device 200 to provide power for the operation of the electrical device; or it can be externally located in the electrical device 200, such as when the second power supply 800 is used as a specific energy storage power supply 100e, the energy storage power supply 100e is externally connected to the power line or data line of the electrical device 200 to supply power (e.g., Figure 4e (As shown).
[0132] Of course, more preferably, the second power supply 800 can be installed on the electrical appliance 200 in a detachable manner. In this case, the second power supply 800 is suitable for use with different types of electrical appliances 200, that is, the second power supply 800 can be shared by power tools, electric gardening tools, and electric household tools, for example:
[0133] A user has a 3.6V, 12V, or 20V secondary power supply 800, which can be used not only for electric drills but also for pruning machines, vacuum cleaners, or emergency lights. Such a secondary power supply 800 can meet the user's different usage scenarios.
[0134] When the second power source 800 is assembled and connected to the electrical device 200, the second power source 800 is adapted to be mechanically and electrically connected to the electrical device 200, fixed by mechanical connection, and providing electrical energy to the electrical device 200 by electrical connection.
[0135] like Figure 10 As shown, the second power supply 800 includes:
[0136] Battery 10 or battery pack, used to provide electrical power to the electrical device 200;
[0137] A wireless communication unit for wireless communication with the cloud 300 and for wireless communication connection with mobile communication devices;
[0138] The control unit is used to receive control commands from the mobile communication device forwarded by the first power supply 700 via the wireless communication unit of the second power supply 800, and to execute the control commands.
[0139] The data acquisition unit is used to acquire the status information of the electrical device and / or the status information of the remote control power supply.
[0140] The storage unit is used to temporarily store the collected status information and the information fed back by the control unit when there is no network.
[0141] After connecting to the wireless network, the second power supply 800 sends status information to the first power supply 700 through its wireless communication unit, and the first power supply 700 transmits the status information to the cloud.
[0142] In some embodiments, the mobile communication device is indirectly wirelessly connected to the first power supply 700, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the mobile communication device is wirelessly connected to the cloud 300, and the cloud 300 is wirelessly connected to the wireless communication unit of the first power supply 700. Through the relay of the cloud 300, the wireless communication between the mobile communication device and the first power supply 700 is realized. The control commands issued by the mobile communication device are forwarded to the first power supply 700 by the cloud 300, and then the first power supply 700 forwards the control commands to the wireless communication unit of the second power supply 800.
[0143] In other embodiments, the mobile communication device is directly wirelessly connected to the first power supply 700. Control commands issued by the mobile communication device are directly transmitted to the first power supply 700, and then the first power supply 700 forwards the control commands to the wireless communication unit of the second power supply 800. The control commands may include at least a power-on command, which the control unit uses to drive the battery or battery pack to start the electrical device 200 according to the power-on command, thus putting the electrical device 200 into a powered state.
[0144] In some embodiments, the control commands may further include power-off commands and / or parameter setting commands. When the control unit receives a power-off command from a mobile communication device via a wireless unit, the control unit controls the battery 10 or battery pack to turn off the power-consuming device 200, and the power-consuming device 200 is powered off. When the control unit receives a parameter setting command from a mobile communication device via a wireless unit, the control unit sets parameters for the remote-controlled power supply and / or the power-consuming device. For example, the control unit may set parameters such as the output current and / or output voltage of the remote-controlled power supply and / or set the operating mode and operating parameters of the power-consuming device according to the parameter setting command.
[0145] The cloud 300 sends a power-off command to the first power supply 700, which forwards the power-off command to the second power supply 800. The control unit of the second power supply 800 controls the battery 10 or battery pack to shut down the electrical device 200 according to the power-off command, and the electrical device 200 is powered off.
[0146] In some embodiments, the cloud 300 directly stores the status information transmitted from the storage unit, such as on a high-capacity storage device like a solid-state drive. In other embodiments, the cloud 300 categorizes the status information transmitted from the storage unit and stores it on a high-capacity storage device like a solid-state drive. For example, the cloud 300 can categorize the status information transmitted from the storage unit into status information of the electrical device 200 and status information of the remote control power supply, and store them in two folders or different storage areas of the storage device, respectively.
[0147] In addition, the aforementioned second power supply 800 may also be composed of at least a first remote control power supply and a second remote control power supply connected in series or in parallel.
[0148] Specifically, the aforementioned second power supply 800 can take many forms, for example:
[0149] like Figure 3a The single-cell battery configuration shown; or, as... Figure 3b The three-cell battery configuration shown; or, as... Figure 3c The diagram shows the configuration of the five-cell battery; or, as shown below. Figure 3d The remote control power supply shown is in the form of multiple single-cell batteries (such as...) Figure 3a The shapes formed by the combination of elements shown; or, as shown Figure 3e The energy storage power station configuration shown.
[0150] The aforementioned acquisition unit can be multiple sensors, which can be built into the electrical device to detect various status information of the electrical device; the sensors are also installed in the battery / battery pack to detect various status information of the battery / battery pack; when the value detected by the aforementioned sensors exceeds a preset threshold, the power supply circuit between the electrical device and the remote control battery is automatically shut off.
[0151] The aforementioned status information includes the status information of the electrical device and / or the status information of the remote control power supply. The status information of the electrical device includes one or more of the following: power consumption status information, power off status information, working status information, location information, remaining power information, and temperature information. The status information of the remote control power supply includes one or more of the following: temperature information, remaining power information, location information, and charging information.
[0152] The aforementioned storage unit can be a FLASH chip, random access memory, or cache chip, or other memory components used to store data information.
[0153] like Figure 11As shown, when there is no wireless network, the automatic collection and storage process of the above status information is as follows: In step S1, the collection unit collects the status information of the power device and / or remote control power supply; in step S2, the collected status information is stored in the storage unit; after connecting to the wireless network, the following process also exists: In step S3, the storage unit transmits the status information to the first power supply 700 through the wireless communication unit of the second power supply 800; in step S4, the first power supply 700 transmits the status information to the cloud through the wireless network, and the cloud classifies and stores the status information.
[0154] like Figure 12 As shown, when a wireless network is present, the automatic collection and storage process of the above-mentioned status information is as follows: In step S10, the collection unit collects the status information of the power device and / or remote control power supply; in step S20, when a wireless network is present, the collected status information is transmitted to the first power supply 700 through the wireless communication unit of the second power supply 800; in step S30, the first power supply 700 transmits the status information to the cloud through the wireless network, and the cloud classifies and stores the status information.
[0155] The query process for this status information is as follows: Figure 7 As shown.
[0156] like Figure 13 As shown, the process of executing the control command is as follows: In step S100, the mobile communication device sends a control command request to the cloud 300; in step S200, after receiving the control command request, the cloud 300 sends the control command to the first power source; in step S300, after receiving the control command, the first power source sends it to the second power source to execute the control command; in step S400, the second power source transmits the status information of executing the control command to the cloud 300; in step S500, the cloud 300 feeds back the status information of executing the control command to the mobile communication device.
[0157] Another embodiment of the aforementioned remote-controlled power supply, such as Figure 14 As shown, the remote control power supply includes a first power supply 700, a second power supply 800, and a third power supply 900.
[0158] The first power supply 700 or the second power supply 800 has a wireless communication unit for wireless communication with the cloud 300. This wireless communication unit has at least a communication module. Specifically, the wireless cellular communication function of the first power supply 700 or the second power supply 800 is activated only after the first power supply 700 and the second power supply 800 are electrically connected. The first power supply 700 has a mounting part 700a suitable for electrical connection with the second power supply 800. The second power supply 800 is adapted to be mounted and connected to the mounting part 700a. At this time, the second power supply 800 and the first power supply 700 are electrically connected while being positioned and mounted. More specifically, the mounting part is provided with another electrical terminal that is electrically coupled to the electrical terminal of the second power supply 800. At this time, the control unit of the first power supply 700 or the second power supply 800 detects the electrical signal that the two are compatible and activates the wireless cellular communication function of the first power supply 700 or the second power supply 800.
[0159] Alternatively, the second power supply 800 can achieve signal connection while being positioned and installed with the first power supply 700. More specifically, the mounting part is provided with another signal terminal that is electrically connected to the signal terminal of the second power supply 800. When the two are installed and mated, they perform handshake recognition on the signal to activate the wireless cellular communication function of the first power supply 700 or the second power supply 800.
[0160] The third power supply 900 also has a wireless communication unit for wireless communication with the first power supply 700 or the second power supply 800 whose wireless cellular communication function is activated. The wireless communication unit has at least a communication module, specifically, the communication module is non-cellular (e.g., WiFi / Bluetooth / ZigBee / Lora / Sigfox).
[0161] Similarly, the third power source 900 is connected to the electrical device 200 to provide electrical energy to the electrical device 200. Likewise, the aforementioned electrical device 200 can be a power tool, such as an electric drill, electric angle grinder, electric hammer, sprayer, etc., or an electric gardening tool, such as a pruning machine, lawn mower, chainsaw, etc., or an electric household tool, such as a vacuum cleaner, coffee machine, electric fan, juicer, etc., or other types of electrical equipment, such as glue gun, air pump, emergency lights, etc. In general, the aforementioned electrical device 200 can refer to working equipment that uses a secondary battery or battery pack (such as an energy storage power supply / energy storage station) as a power source. When the electrical device 200 is working, it needs the power source to provide electrical energy to drive the operation of the electrical device.
[0162] The aforementioned third power source 900 can be built into the electrical device 200 to provide power for the operation of the electrical device; alternatively, it can be externally located within the electrical device 200. For example, when the third power source 900 serves as a specific energy storage power source 100e, the energy storage power source 100e is externally connected to the power line or data line of the electrical device 200 to supply power (e.g., Figure 4e (as shown);
[0163] Of course, more preferably, the third power supply 900 can be installed on the electrical appliance 200 in a detachable manner. In this case, the third power supply 900 is suitable for use with different types of electrical appliances 200, that is, this third power supply 900 can be shared by power tools, electric gardening tools, and electric household tools, for example:
[0164] A user has a 3.6V, 12V, or 20V third power supply 900, which can be used not only for electric drills but also for pruning machines, vacuum cleaners, or emergency lights. Such a third power supply 900 can meet the user's different usage scenarios.
[0165] When the third power source 900 is assembled and connected to the electrical device 200, the third power source 900 is suitable for mechanical connection and electrical connection to the electrical device 200, fixed by mechanical connection and providing electrical energy to the electrical device 200 by electrical connection.
[0166] like Figure 15 As shown, the third power supply 900 includes:
[0167] Battery 10 or battery pack, used to provide electrical power to the electrical device 200;
[0168] A wireless communication unit for wirelessly connecting to the cloud 300 and wirelessly connecting to mobile communication devices;
[0169] The control unit is used to receive, via the wireless communication unit of the third power supply 900, control commands from the mobile communication device forwarded by the first power supply 700 or the second power supply 800 whose wireless cellular communication function has been activated, and to execute the control commands.
[0170] The data acquisition unit is used to acquire the status information of the electrical device and / or the status information of the remote control power supply.
[0171] The storage unit is used to temporarily store the collected status information and the information fed back by the control unit when there is no network.
[0172] After connecting to the wireless network, the third power supply 900 sends status information to the first power supply 700 or the second power supply 800 whose wireless cellular communication function has been activated through the wireless communication unit of the third power supply 900. The first power supply 700 or the second power supply 800 whose wireless cellular communication function has been activated then transmits the status information to the cloud 300.
[0173] In some embodiments, the mobile communication device is indirectly wirelessly connected to a first power source 700 or a second power source 800 with activated wireless cellular communication functionality, such as... Figure 14As shown, the mobile communication device is wirelessly connected to the cloud 300, and the cloud 300 is wirelessly connected to the wireless communication unit of the first power supply 700 or the second power supply 800 with activated wireless cellular communication function. Through the relay of the cloud 300, wireless communication between the mobile communication device and the first power supply 700 or the second power supply 800 with activated wireless cellular communication function is realized. Control commands issued by the mobile communication device are forwarded by the cloud 300 to the first power supply 700 or the second power supply 800 with activated wireless cellular communication function, and then forwarded by the first power supply 700 or the second power supply 800 to the wireless communication unit of the third power supply 900.
[0174] In other embodiments, the mobile communication device is directly wirelessly connected to the first power supply 700 or the second power supply 800 with the activated wireless cellular communication function. The control commands issued by the mobile communication device are directly transmitted to the first power supply 700 or the second power supply 800 with the activated wireless cellular communication function, and then the first power supply 700 or the second power supply 800 with the activated wireless cellular communication function forwards the control commands to the wireless communication unit of the third power supply 900.
[0175] The control command may include at least a power-on command, which the control unit uses to drive the battery or battery pack to start the electrical device 200 according to the power-on command, so that the electrical device 200 is in a power-on state.
[0176] In some embodiments, the control commands may further include power-off commands and / or parameter setting commands. When the control unit receives a power-off command from a mobile communication device via a wireless unit, the control unit controls the battery 10 or battery pack to turn off the power-consuming device 200, and the power-consuming device 200 is powered off. When the control unit receives a parameter setting command from a mobile communication device via a wireless unit, the control unit sets parameters for the remote-controlled power supply and / or the power-consuming device. For example, the control unit may set parameters such as the output current and / or output voltage of the remote-controlled power supply and / or set the operating mode and operating parameters of the power-consuming device according to the parameter setting command.
[0177] In some embodiments, the cloud 300 directly stores the status information transmitted from the storage unit, such as on a high-capacity storage device like a solid-state drive. In other embodiments, the cloud 300 categorizes the status information transmitted from the storage unit and stores it on a high-capacity storage device like a solid-state drive. For example, the cloud 300 can categorize the status information transmitted from the storage unit into status information of the electrical device 200 and status information of the remote control power supply, and store them in two folders or different storage areas of the storage device, respectively.
[0178] like Figure 16As shown, when there is no wireless network, the automatic collection and storage process of the above status information is as follows: In step S1, the collection unit collects the status information of the power device and / or remote control power supply; in step S2, the collected status information is stored in the storage unit; after connecting to the wireless network, the following process also exists: In step S3, the status information stored in the storage unit is transmitted to the first power supply or the second power supply through the wireless communication unit of the third power supply 900; in step S4, the first power supply or the second power supply transmits the status information to the cloud through the wireless network, and the cloud classifies and stores the status information.
[0179] like Figure 17 As shown, when a wireless network is present, the automatic collection and storage process of the above status information is as follows: In step S10, the collection unit collects the status information of the power device and / or remote control power supply; in step S20, the collected status information is transmitted to the first power supply 700 or the second power supply 800 through the wireless communication unit of the third power supply 900; in step S30, the first power supply 700 or the second power supply 800 transmits the status information to the cloud through the wireless network, and the cloud classifies and stores the status information.
[0180] The query process for this status information is as follows: Figure 7 As shown.
[0181] like Figure 18 As shown, the process of executing the control command is as follows: In step S100, the mobile communication device sends a control command request to the cloud 300; in step S200, after receiving the control command request, the cloud 300 sends the control command to the first power supply 700 or the second power supply 800; in step S300, after receiving the control command, the first power supply 700 or the second power supply 800 sends it to the third power supply 900 to execute the control command; in step S400, the third power supply 900 transmits the status information of executing the control command to the cloud 300; in step S500, the cloud 300 feeds back the status information of executing the control command to the mobile communication device.
[0182] like Figure 19 As shown, the remote control power supply 100 of the power-consuming device 200 is used to provide power to the power-consuming device 200, and at the same time receive and execute control commands sent from the mobile communication device via a wireless network.
[0183] Figure 19The remote control power supply 100 is directly and wirelessly connected to the mobile communication device. The remote control power supply 100 receives control commands from the mobile communication device and feeds back the status information of the power-consuming device 200 and / or the remote control power supply 100 to the mobile communication device. When there is no network connection, the remote control power supply 100 temporarily stores the collected status information and sends it to the mobile communication device after connecting to the wireless network. Understandably, when the remote control power supply 100 is connected to the wireless network, it also collects the status information of the power-consuming device 200 and / or the remote control power supply 100 and sends the collected status information to the mobile communication device in real time.
[0184] The remote control power supply 100 has a wireless communication unit, which has at least a wireless communication module. The wireless communication module can be cellular (e.g., 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G / NB-IoT / LTE-M) or non-cellular (e.g., WiFi / Bluetooth / ZigBee / Lora / Sigfox), or both.
[0185] The functional modules of the aforementioned remote control power supply, such as Figure 2 As shown.
[0186] The aforementioned mobile communication device establishes a wireless communication connection with the cloud to transmit status information from the remote control power supply 100 to the cloud, whereby the cloud stores or categorizes the status information. The wireless communication unit has at least a wireless communication module, which is cellular (e.g., 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G / NB-IoT / LTE-M).
[0187] like Figure 20 As shown, when there is no wireless network, the automatic data recording process for the above status information is as follows: In step S1, the acquisition unit acquires the status information of the power device and / or remote control power supply; in step S2, the acquired status information is stored in the storage unit; after connecting to the wireless network, the following process also exists: In step S3, the status information stored in the storage unit is transmitted to the mobile communication device through the wireless communication unit; in step S4, the mobile communication device transmits the status information to the cloud through the wireless communication network, and the cloud classifies and stores the status information.
[0188] like Figure 21 As shown, when a wireless network is present, the automatic data recording process for the above-mentioned status information is as follows: In step S10, the acquisition unit acquires the status information of the power-consuming device and / or remote control power supply; in step S20, the acquired status information is transmitted to the mobile communication device through the wireless communication unit; in step S30, the mobile communication device transmits the status information to the cloud through the wireless communication network, and the cloud classifies and stores the status information.

[0191] like Figure 23 As shown, the remote control power supply includes a first power supply 700 and a second power supply 800, which are connected in series or in parallel. The second power supply 800 is connected to the electrical device 200 to provide power to the electrical device 200.
[0192] Figure 23 The first power supply 700 has a wireless communication unit for wireless communication with a mobile communication device. The wireless communication unit has at least a communication module. Specifically, the communication module is cellular (e.g., 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G / NB-IoT / LTE-M) or non-cellular (e.g., WiFi / Bluetooth / ZigBee / Lora / Sigfox), or both.
[0193] The functional modules of the second power supply are as follows: Figure 10 As shown.

The first power supply 700 receives control commands from the mobile communication device and forwards them to the second power supply 800, which executes the commands. The first power supply 700 also forwards status information of the power-consuming device 200 and / or the remote-controlled power supply 100 fed back by the second power supply 800 to the mobile communication device. When there is no network connection, the second power supply 800 temporarily stores the collected status information and forwards it to the mobile communication device via the first power supply 700 after connecting to the wireless network. Understandably, when the second power supply 800 is connected to the wireless network, it also collects status information of the power-consuming device 200 and / or the remote-controlled power supply and forwards this information to the mobile communication device in real time via the first power supply 700. In this embodiment, the status information of the remote-controlled power supply may include the status information of the first power supply 700 and / or the second power supply 800, such as the power level, temperature, and location of the corresponding power supply.

[0199] like Figure 27 As shown, the aforementioned remote control power supply includes a first power supply 700, a second power supply 800, and a third power supply 900. The third power supply 900 is connected to the power-consuming device 200 to provide power to the power-consuming device 200.
[0200] Figure 27 The first power supply 700 or the second power supply 800 has a wireless communication unit for wireless communication with a mobile communication device. This wireless communication unit includes at least a communication module. Optionally, the wireless cellular communication function of the first power supply 700 or the second power supply 800 is activated only after an electrical connection is established between them. The method for activating the wireless cellular communication function of the first power supply 700 and the second power supply 800 is described in the corresponding section of the above embodiments.

The first power supply 700 or the second power supply 800, with its activated wireless cellular communication function, receives control commands from the mobile communication device and forwards them to the third power supply 900, which executes the control commands.
