However, for some electrical loads, especially incandescent lamps, when they are just lit, due to the too low filament temperature, their impedance is small, and at this time, the current flowing through the incandescent lamp will be very large. If the outdoor power supply device supplies AC 220V power to the incandescent lamp at the beginning of startup, it may instantly cause the output power of the outdoor power supply device to the incandescent lamp to be too large, exceeding its standard power and entering a protection state where it cannot start, which greatly affects the stability and reliability of the outdoor power supply device.

[0053] The realization of the object, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. Specific embodiments

[0054] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0055] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative position relationship and movement conditions between components in a specific posture (as shown in the drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0056] It should be noted that in this article, step codes such as S100 and S200 are adopted. The purpose is to more clearly and briefly express the corresponding content, and do not constitute a substantial limitation in sequence. When those skilled in the art implement specifically, they may execute S200 first and then S100, etc., but these should all be within the protection scope of this application.

[0057] It should be understood that with the development of the scientific and technological level, people's daily life is increasingly inseparable from the supply of electric energy. When users are in the wild without mains power, or when the mains power is temporarily cut off, an outdoor power supply device needs to be used as an emergency power supply to drive some electrical loads. However, for some electrical loads, especially incandescent lamps, when they are just lit, due to the too low filament temperature, their impedance is small. At this time, the current flowing through the incandescent lamp will be very large. If the outdoor power supply device supplies AC220V power to the incandescent lamp at the beginning of startup, it may instantly cause the output power of the outdoor power supply device to the incandescent lamp to be too large, exceeding its standard power and entering a protection state and unable to start, which greatly affects the stability and reliability of the operation of the outdoor power supply device.

[0058] To this end, the present invention proposes a method for starting and controlling an outdoor power supply device, which is applied to an outdoor power supply device. The outdoor power supply device includes an input component 10, a battery 20, an inverter circuit 30, a controller 00, and a power output interface 40. The controller 00 is electrically connected to the input component 10 and the inverter circuit 30 respectively. The input end of the inverter circuit 30 is electrically connected to the battery 20, and the output end of the inverter circuit 30 is electrically connected to the power output interface 40. The power output interface 40 is used to connect a load;

[0059] Reference Figure 8 , in this embodiment, the input component 10 can be implemented by a touch screen or a button array, and the user can trigger the input component 10 to implement an output power start instruction;

[0060] In this embodiment, the controller 00 can be implemented by an MCU, a DSP (Digital Signal Process, digital signal processing chip), an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array, programmable logic gate array chip), etc. When the controller 00 determines the preset start voltage value, it can output a signal with a corresponding duty cycle according to the voltage-PWM duty cycle to control the inverter circuit 30 to invert the battery 20 voltage and then output an alternating current with a preset start voltage value to the load through the power output interface 40;

[0061] It can be understood that in order to ensure the reliability and stability of the actual output voltage of the inverter circuit 30, the outdoor power supply device can also be provided with a voltage detection component 70 to detect the actual voltage value of the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30 and feedback it to the controller 00. The controller 00 will correspondingly adjust the duty cycle of the output PWM signal so that the actual output alternating current voltage value of the inverter circuit 30 is the same as that required by the controller 00 for the inverter circuit 30 to output. The voltage detection component 70 can be implemented by a resistor voltage division circuit.

[0062] Reference Figures 1 - 8 , in an embodiment of the present invention, the method for starting and controlling an outdoor power supply device includes:

[0063] Step S100, obtaining a power start instruction;

[0064] Step S200, when obtaining the power start instruction, controlling the inverter circuit 30 to start working to invert and convert the DC voltage output by the battery 20 and then output an alternating current with a preset start voltage value through the power output interface 40;

[0065] In this embodiment, the preset starting voltage value is lower than the mains voltage value, such as AC180V, AC160V, AC150V, etc. The preset starting voltage value can be preset by the R & D personnel as one or multiple, and the controller 00 selects the most suitable one according to the detected working environment parameters.

[0066] Step S300: Gradually increase the voltage value of the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30 through the power output interface 40 until the voltage value of the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30 through the power output interface 40 is the mains voltage value.

[0067] In this embodiment, after the controller 00 controls the inverter circuit 30 to output alternating current with a preset starting voltage value through the power output interface 40, it will gradually control the inverter circuit 30 to increase the output voltage value of the alternating current. Optionally, it can be calculated according to the time when the alternating current starts to be output. For example, if the preset starting voltage value is AC180V, the inverter circuit 30 is uniformly controlled to increase the output voltage value of the alternating current within the subsequent 3S until the voltage value of the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30 through the power output interface 40 is the mains voltage value. In this way, in practical applications, when the user connects a load, especially an incandescent lamp, to the power output interface 40 and starts the outdoor power supply device, it will not enter the protection state due to the large current generated at the beginning, and will gradually increase the output AC voltage value until the output alternating current is the mains voltage value to normally drive the load, such as an incandescent lamp to work. The present invention improves the working stability and reliability of the outdoor power supply device.

[0068] In the technical solution of the present invention, first, a power-on instruction is obtained, and then when the power-on instruction is obtained, the inverter circuit 30 is controlled to start working to invert and convert the DC voltage output by the battery 20 and output alternating current with a preset starting voltage value through the power output interface 40. Finally, the voltage value of the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30 through the power output interface 40 is gradually increased until the voltage value of the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30 through the power output interface 40 is the mains voltage value. In this way, in practical applications, when the user connects a load, especially an incandescent lamp, to the power output interface 40 and starts the outdoor power supply device, it will not enter the protection state due to the large current generated at the beginning, and will gradually increase the output AC voltage value until the output alternating current is the mains voltage value to normally drive the load, such as an incandescent lamp to work. The present invention improves the working stability and reliability of the outdoor power supply device.

[0069] It should be understood that generally users use the outdoor power supply device in an outdoor environment, especially in a wild environment. Therefore, the environmental temperature is very unstable, which may be minus 30 degrees or plus 30 degrees. Since the resistance value of the load is affected by the environmental temperature, a single preset starting voltage may not be suitable for each environment.

[0070] To this end, referring to Figure 2 , in an embodiment of the present invention, the outdoor power supply device further includes a temperature detection component 60, and the temperature detection component 60 is electrically connected to the controller 00. Before performing step 200, the outdoor power supply device startup control method further includes:

[0071] Step S300: Obtain the ambient temperature;

[0072] In this embodiment, the temperature detection component 60 can be implemented by a thermistor or an infrared temperature sensor. The temperature detection component 60 can detect the current ambient temperature and give the detected result to the controller 00 so that the controller 00 can determine the current ambient temperature.

[0073] Step S400: Select a corresponding preset startup voltage value according to the ambient temperature and the preset ambient temperature - preset startup voltage value preset table.

[0074] In this embodiment, the preset ambient temperature - preset startup voltage value preset table can be obtained by R & D personnel through multiple tests and preset in the controller 00. When the controller 00 obtains a power startup instruction, it will determine the current ambient temperature and select a preset startup voltage value accordingly. For example, "when the ambient temperature is -30 degrees Celsius, select a preset startup voltage value of AC180V; when the ambient temperature is 30 degrees Celsius above zero, select a preset startup voltage value of AC160V", and control the inverter circuit 30 to output an alternating current with a voltage value of the preset startup voltage value according to the content of the above embodiment. In this way, in practical applications, the preset startup voltage value can be dynamically adjusted according to the ambient temperature, so as to ensure that the outdoor power supply device will not enter the overload protection state when it starts up in any environment, effectively ensuring the reliability and stability of the outdoor power supply device.

[0075] Referring to Figure 3 , in an embodiment of the present invention, step S300 is specifically:

[0076] Step S310: Start timing when a power startup instruction is obtained;

[0077] In this embodiment, a timing module can be set inside the controller 00 and is electrically connected to the processor 02 inside the controller 00, so that the controller 00 starts timing by itself when it obtains a power startup instruction transmitted from the input device. Optionally, the controller 00 can also be electrically connected to an external timer, and when it obtains a power startup instruction transmitted from the input device, it controls the timer to start timing and receives the timing result transmitted from the timer.

[0078] Step S320: Every time a preset voltage regulation time elapses, control the voltage value of the AC voltage output by the inverter circuit 30 through the power output interface 40 to increase by a preset voltage regulation value until the voltage value of the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30 through the power output interface 40 reaches the mains voltage value.

[0079] In this embodiment, the preset voltage regulation time can be set by R & D personnel according to requirements, such as 1S. At the same time, the preset voltage regulation value can also be preset by the inventor, such as 10V. After the controller 00 starts timing and obtains the power startup instruction to control the inverter circuit 30 to start outputting alternating current with a preset startup voltage value through the power output interface 40, every time the preset voltage regulation time elapses, it will control the inverter circuit 30 to increase the voltage value of the output alternating current, and the increased amplitude is the preset voltage regulation value, until the mains voltage value is reached. For example, "start outputting AC180V, output 190V after 1S, output AC200V after 2S, output AC210V after 3S, output AC220V after 4S". In this way, when the outdoor power supply device is just started, the current output to the load, especially the incandescent lamp, is not so high, so as to prevent it from entering the protection state, and it can recover to the normal mains voltage output within a subsequent period of time to drive the load to work normally.

[0080] It should be understood that in actual applications, the resistance value of the load, especially the incandescent lamp, increases with the increase of temperature. When the voltage rises after the preset voltage regulation time, the resistance value of the incandescent lamp may not have risen to a relatively large value at this time, which may cause the AC power output by the outdoor power supply device to exceed the standard power for a period of time and then enter the overload protection state again.

[0081] Therefore, in this embodiment, optionally, referring to Figure 4 , the outdoor power supply device further includes a current detection component 50. The current detection component 50 is connected in series on the path between the inverter circuit 30 and the power output interface 40. The output end of the current detection component 50 is electrically connected to the controller 00. Step S320 is specifically:

[0082] Step S321: Every time a preset voltage regulation time elapses, control the voltage value of the AC voltage output by the inverter circuit 30 through the power output interface 40 to increase by a preset voltage regulation value, detect the current value of the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30 through the power output interface 40, and generate current detection information;

[0083] In this embodiment, the current detection component 50 can be implemented by using a current sensing resistor. A timing module can be provided inside the controller 00. When a power startup instruction is obtained, the controller 00 starts timing. After a preset voltage regulation time, such as 1S, the controller 00 detects the voltage across the current sensing resistor, thereby determining the voltage across the current sensing resistor, and calculates the alternating current value flowing through the current sensing resistor, that is, the alternating current output from the inverter circuit 30 to the load through the power output interface 40, based on the known resistance value of the current sensing resistor.

[0084] Step S322: When it is determined, according to the current detection information, that the current value of the alternating current output from the inverter circuit 30 through the power output interface 40 is greater than a preset value, control the voltage value of the alternating current output from the inverter circuit 30 through the power output interface 40 to be reduced by a preset voltage regulation value, and return to execute step S321 until the voltage value of the alternating current output from the inverter circuit 30 through the power output interface 40 is the mains voltage value.

[0085] In this embodiment, after presetting the voltage regulation value of the inverter circuit 30 through the above embodiment process and determining the current value of the alternating current output by the voltage-regulated inverter circuit 30 according to the current detection information, a comparison is made with a preset current value. The preset current value can be set by the R & D personnel based on the current value when the outdoor power supply device enters the overload protection. If it is determined at this time that after increasing the preset voltage regulation value, the current value of the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30 is greater than the preset current value, directly control the inverter circuit 30 to further reduce the voltage value of the output alternating current by the preset voltage regulation value, that is, return to the voltage value before this voltage regulation. And return to execute step S321, that is, after another preset voltage regulation time, repeat the above process. It can be understood that if the current value after voltage regulation does not reach the preset current value, there is no need to further reduce the voltage value of the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30, and return to execute step S321, that is, after another preset voltage regulation time, repeat the above process until the voltage value of the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30 is AC220V.

[0086] Specifically, taking the preset starting voltage value as AC180V, the preset voltage regulation time as 1S, the preset current value as 10A, and the preset voltage regulation value as 10V as an example, after obtaining the power startup instruction, the controller 00 controls the inverter circuit 30 to output AC180V alternating current through the power output interface 40 to the load. At the same time, the controller 00 starts timing. After 1S, the controller 00 controls the inverter circuit 30 to output an alternating current voltage value of AC190V. At the same time, according to the current detection component 50, the current obtained is 8A, which is less than 10A, and the current voltage remains unchanged. After 2S, the controller 00 controls the inverter circuit 30 to output an alternating current voltage value of AC200V. At the same time, according to the current detection component 50, the current obtained is 11A, which is greater than 10A. Then the controller 00 controls the inverter circuit 30 to output an alternating current voltage value of AC190V. After 3S, the controller 00 controls the inverter circuit 30 to output an alternating current voltage value of AC200V. At the same time, according to the current detection component 50, the current obtained is 7A, which is less than 10A, and the current voltage remains unchanged. And the above process is repeated until finally the controller 00 controls the inverter circuit 30 to output an alternating current voltage value of AC220V.

[0087] It should be understood that in practical applications, although the outdoor power supply device will not immediately enter the protection state at the moment of overload (the outdoor power supply device generally has strong anti-shock ability and usually only enters the protection state when there is overload for a period of time to prevent damage to the device), it can still adjust the output power load in time as in the above embodiments. However, in fact, due to signal transmission delay or software execution delay, it may not be possible to adjust the alternating current voltage value output by the inverter circuit 30 in the first time, which may cause the outdoor power supply device to enter the protection state and stop working.

[0088] Therefore, in another embodiment, referring to Figure 5 , the outdoor power supply device further includes a current detection component 50. The current detection component 50 is connected in series on the path between the inverter circuit 30 and the power output interface 40. The output end of the current detection component 50 is electrically connected to the controller 00. Step S320 is specifically as follows:

[0089] Step S323: Every time after the preset voltage regulation time, detect the current value of the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30 through the power output interface 40 and generate current detection information;

[0090] Step S324: According to the current detection information and the resistance value of the preset current detection component 50, determine the resistance value of the load connected to the power output interface 40, and determine the estimated future power according to the resistance value and the alternating current voltage value after increasing the preset voltage value;

[0091] Step S325: When it is determined that the predicted future power is less than the standard power, control the inverter circuit 30 to increase the voltage value of the AC voltage output through the power output interface 40 by a preset voltage regulation value, and return to execute Step S323 until the voltage value of the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30 through the power output interface 40 is the mains voltage value.

[0092] In this embodiment, every time the preset voltage regulation time elapses, first do not adjust the voltage value of the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30, but first detect the current value of the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30 (the process of determining the current value refers to the content of the above embodiment). Since a current sensing resistor is adopted and the current sensing resistor is connected in series with the load, the controller 00 can directly calculate the resistance value of the load at this time, especially the incandescent lamp.

[0093] After determining the resistance value of the load at this time, the controller 00 can determine the predicted future power according to the resistance value of the load at this time and the voltage value of the alternating current after increasing the preset voltage value. It can be understood that the higher the temperature of the load, especially the incandescent lamp, the greater the resistance value. Therefore, if the predicted future power is less than the standard power, the actual output power of the inverter circuit 30 after actually increasing the voltage will not exceed the predicted future power even more. At this time, the controller will then control the voltage value of the AC voltage output by the inverter circuit 30 through the power output interface 40 to increase by the preset voltage regulation value and return to execute Step S323 until the voltage value of the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30 through the power output interface 40 is the mains voltage value.

[0094] It can be understood that, referring to Figure 6 , Step S320 further includes:

[0095] Step S326: When it is determined that the predicted future power reaches the standard power, control the voltage value of the AC voltage output by the inverter circuit 30 through the power output interface 40 to remain unchanged, and return to execute Step S323.

[0096] Specifically, taking the standard power of 3kW, the preset starting voltage value of AC180V, the preset voltage regulation time of 1S, and the preset voltage regulation value of 10V as an example, after outputting the preset starting voltage, after 1S, detect the current, calculate the current resistance value, and calculate that the predicted future power is 2.7kW, then control the inverter circuit 30 to increase the voltage value of the output alternating current to AC190V; after 2S, detect the current, calculate the current resistance value, and calculate that the predicted future power is 3.1kW, then control the voltage output by the inverter circuit 30 to remain unchanged; after 3S, detect the current, calculate the current resistance value, and calculate that the predicted future power is 2.8kW, then control the inverter circuit 30 to increase the voltage value of the output alternating current to AC200V; and repeat the above process until finally the controller 00 controls the voltage value of the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30 to be AC220V.

[0097] Reference Figure 7 , in an embodiment of the present invention, the outdoor power supply device further includes a current detection component 50. The current detection component 50 is connected in series on the path between the inverter circuit 30 and the power output interface 40. The output end of the current detection component 50 is electrically connected to the controller 00. Step S300 is specifically as follows:

[0098] Step S330: Start timing when a power-on instruction is obtained;

[0099] Step S340: Every time a preset voltage regulation time elapses, detect the current value of the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30 through the power output interface 40, and generate current detection information;

[0100] Step S350: Determine the resistance value of the load connected to the power output interface 40 according to the current detection information and the preset resistance value of the current detection component 50;

[0101] In this embodiment, as can be seen from the above embodiment content, the current detection component 50 can be implemented by a current sensing resistor. A timing module can be provided inside the controller 00. When a power-on instruction is obtained, the controller 00 starts timing. After a preset voltage regulation time, such as 1S, the controller 00 will detect the voltage across the current sensing resistor, and then determine the voltage across the current sensing resistor, and calculate the alternating current flowing through the current sensing resistor, that is, the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30 through the power output interface 40 to the load, according to the known resistance value of the current sensing resistor. Since the voltage value output by the inverter circuit 30 is a known quantity, the controller 00 can directly calculate the resistance value of the load at this time.

[0102] Step S360: Calculate the future safe voltage value according to the standard power and the resistance value;

[0103] Step S370: Control the voltage value of the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30 through the power output interface 40 to be increased to the future safe voltage value, and return to execute step S340 until the voltage value of the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30 through the power output interface 40 is the mains voltage value.

[0104] In this embodiment, it should be understood that for a load, especially an incandescent lamp, the longer it works, the higher its temperature, and the higher the temperature, the greater its resistance. Therefore, when the controller 00 determines the current resistance value, it can directly calculate from the standard power the maximum voltage value that the inverter circuit 30 can output through the power output interface 40 at the current resistance value, that is, the future safe voltage value. At this time, the controller 00 can control the inverter circuit 30 to directly adjust the voltage value of the alternating current output through the power output interface 40 to the future safe voltage value, and after a preset voltage regulation time interval, repeat the above steps until the voltage value of the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30 under the control of the controller 00 through the power output interface 40 is the mains voltage value.

[0105] For example, "when the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30 at startup is AC150V, after 1 second, the detected current is obtained and the load resistance value is calculated, and based on the calculated load resistance value and the standard power of 2500W, the future safe voltage value is determined to be 170V, then the controller 00 directly controls the inverter circuit 30 to output AC170V. After another 1 second, the above process is repeated until the controller 00 controls the inverter circuit 30 to output AC220V." Thus, compared with the scheme in the above embodiment where the voltage value of the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30 is increased by a preset voltage regulation value every preset voltage regulation time interval, by dynamically adjusting the voltage value of the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30 through the power output interface 40 according to the current load resistance value, the voltage value of the alternating current output by the inverter circuit 30 through the power output interface 40 to the load, especially the incandescent lamp, can reach the conventional mains voltage AC220V faster, so that the load can enter the normal working state faster, and further improve the stability and reliability of the outdoor power supply device.
