Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of drone battery charging management technology, and in particular to a charging management heat dissipation control method, device, charging management system, and computer-readable storage medium. Background Technology
[0002] With the advancement of technology, drones are being used more and more widely. Typically, drones are equipped with batteries that provide them with electrical power.
[0003] Current drones are evolving towards smaller size and lighter weight, resulting in increasingly higher battery capacity density. In use, the lithium battery life of most mainstream drones is typically 20-30 minutes, and after the battery is depleted, the battery temperature is quite high, reaching up to 45°C. Especially during hot summer weather, the cell temperature can exceed 50°C.
[0004] As we all know, when charging a battery, if the battery temperature is too high, its charging efficiency is very low, which affects the charging and subsequent use of the battery.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to cool the battery before charging. An ideal charging environment temperature (5℃-40℃) can significantly extend battery life. In hot summer weather, it takes a long time for the battery to cool down to room temperature naturally, which affects the battery's cycle life and greatly limits the efficiency of the drone.
[0006] In addition, the battery temperature will rise significantly during the charging process, so it is necessary to cool the battery before and during the entire charging process.
[0007] To address the issue of cooling drone batteries during charging, many existing technologies have emerged. For example, patent application number 202022198734.9, entitled "A Charger and Charging Module," discloses a technical solution where: the charger includes a housing, a cooling device, and a charging plate; both the charging plate and the cooling device are housed within the housing; the charging plate is used to charge the battery, and the cooling device is used to cool the battery. In this embodiment, by incorporating a cooling device and a charging plate within the charger's housing, the charger can simultaneously cool and charge the battery, avoiding the problem of low charging efficiency caused by charging the battery after cooling it. This improves the charger's charging efficiency and increases the battery replacement rate.
[0008] In addition, patent application number 2023103506438, entitled "Rapid Cooling and Charging Device for Drone Batteries," discloses another technology. It includes a battery storage rack with photovoltaic tiles on its top surface. The rack has several battery storage compartments distributed along a left-right direction. Each compartment has a battery inlet at its front end, and a charging head compatible with the charging inlet is installed inside. The charging head is connected to a charger, which in turn is connected to a rechargeable battery. The rechargeable battery is connected to the photovoltaic tiles. A fan mounting cavity is located in the rear wall of each compartment, communicating with it through several vents. A cooling fan is installed inside the fan mounting cavity to blow air towards the vents. This technology enables rapid cooling and charging of drone batteries, solving the problem of low battery cycle life caused by existing drone batteries that rely on natural cooling for charging.
[0009] As can be seen from the two technical solutions above, they cool the drone battery by using refrigeration or forced convection, ensuring good charging efficiency during the charging process. While these solutions offer cooling capabilities, they also present some technical challenges. For example, both technologies directly apply heat dissipation to all parts of the charger during charging. However, existing chargers typically have multiple charging slots, and current technologies cannot provide targeted cooling for each specific slot.
[0010] Therefore, the aforementioned technologies need to be addressed. Summary of the Invention
[0011] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention proposes a heat dissipation control method, device, charging manager and computer-readable storage medium for charging butler, aiming to solve the problem that the charging butler cannot perform targeted heat dissipation treatment on the charging slot of the butler.
[0012] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, one of the basic technical solutions proposed by this invention is as follows:
[0013] A method for cooling control of a charging station includes the following steps:
[0014] The charging judgment step is to determine whether the charging slot of the charging manager is active for charging.
[0015] In the instruction output step, if charging is being executed, a control instruction is output so that the charging manager can perform cooling on the charging slot during the charging process.
[0016] Furthermore, the charging determination step is followed by a step of temperature detection of the battery at the charging slot where charging is performed.
[0017] If the battery temperature is higher than the preset value, execute the instruction output step;
[0018] If the battery temperature is lower than the preset value, the operation will not be performed.
[0019] Furthermore, when multiple charging slots of the charging manager are charging, the battery temperature at each charging slot is obtained.
[0020] Sort the temperature values of multiple batteries;
[0021] Based on the principle of cooling the batteries with higher temperatures in descending order of temperature, priority is given to cooling the batteries with higher temperatures.
[0022] Furthermore, the priority cooling is performed based on the amount of cold source, with the amount of cold source in the priority level being greater than that in the next priority level.
[0023] In addition, the present invention also proposes a charging butler cooling control device, comprising:
[0024] The charging judgment unit is used to determine whether the charging slot of the charging manager is in operation;
[0025] The output unit is used to output control commands when charging is performed, so that the charging manager can perform cooling of the charging slot during charging.
[0026] Furthermore, the present invention also proposes a charging manager, which includes: a cooling device, a memory, a processor, and a charging manager cooling control program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein:
[0027] The cooling device is used to output a cold source;
[0028] When the charging butler cooling control program is executed by the processor, it implements the steps of the charging butler cooling control method described above.
[0029] Furthermore, the charging hub includes a base with at least one charging slot, and each charging slot has multiple through holes on its outer periphery for outputting a cold source.
[0030] The cooling device is installed inside the base, and the cold source output end of the cooling device is connected to each of the through holes through a flow channel.
[0031] Furthermore, the through holes around each charging slot are connected to the flow channel through a branch pipe. Each branch pipe is equipped with a valve that can control the flow of the cold source. Each valve is electrically connected to the processor, and is used to control the flow of the cold source at the valve by the processor when a corresponding instruction is input.
[0032] Furthermore, the through hole is arranged at an angle toward the center of the charging slot.
[0033] Finally, the present invention also proposes a computer storage medium storing a charging butler cooling control program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of any of the above-described charging butler cooling control methods.
[0034] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0035] This invention proposes a heat dissipation control method, device, charging manager, and computer-readable storage medium for a charging system. The heat dissipation control method includes two basic steps: a charging determination step to determine whether charging is being performed at a specific charging station, and a step of outputting a control command to cool the charging station if charging is being performed. This method can provide adaptive heat dissipation based on whether charging is being performed at a specific charging station, thus solving the problem in existing technologies where heat dissipation is applied to the entire system regardless of the number of charging stations.

[0044] The following will be combined with the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 8The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention have been clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0045] Example 1
[0046] Charging Manager, as a primary tool for charging drone batteries, enables targeted charging of drone batteries. Generally, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the charging hub 10 has multiple charging stations 101, each capable of charging a single drone battery. These charging stations 101 can be stations with the same type of charging port or stations for different types of rechargeable batteries. For example, if the charging hub 10 includes three charging stations 101, all three stations could be of type A; or they could be type A, type B, and type C charging stations respectively. The technical solution of this invention is not limited to this structure.
[0047] It should be clearly understood that during charging, there is a high probability that only a smaller number of drone batteries will be charged in a charging system 10 with multiple charging stations 101. For example, in a charging system with three charging stations 101, only two drone batteries will be charged. Using traditional cooling methods, all three charging stations 101 would need to be cooled simultaneously, leading to energy waste. This is especially true for drone batteries, which are powered by external power sources or other drone batteries. Charging all charging stations in the system every time would waste too much power.
[0048] Therefore, the heat dissipation control method, device, charging manager, and computer-readable storage medium of the present invention can effectively solve the problems of existing charging managers.
[0049] This embodiment proposes a new charging manager that can meet the execution hardware requirements of the charging manager heat dissipation control method of the present invention.
[0050] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, this charging assistant includes a base 102 with multiple charging stations 101. The base 102 has an inner cavity 103 for assembling various functional structures.
[0051] In detail, the charging hub of the present invention includes a cooling device 104. The cooling device 104 is located within the inner cavity 103. The cooling device 104 is used to output a cold source to cool the charging station 101. The cold source can be of various forms, such as airflow from a fan, where the airflow itself is the cold source. The cold source can also be the solution described in the prior art application with application number 202022198734.9, specifically, the cooling device 104 may include a compressor, a condenser, a capillary tube, and an evaporator; this technology is equivalent to a miniature air conditioner. That is, a low-temperature coolant is generated through convection with the air to achieve the cold source.
[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the inner cavity 103 is a uniform hollow structure, and the cooling device 104 and the corresponding charging circuit board 105 are both disposed in this inner cavity 103.
[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, in some other embodiments, the inner cavity 103 has a first inner cavity 1031 and a second inner cavity 1032, with the first inner cavity 1031 located below and the second inner cavity 1032 located above the first inner cavity 1031. The cooling device 104 is assembled in the first inner cavity 1031, and the charging circuit board 105 is disposed in the second inner cavity 1032.
[0054] It should be understood that the base 102 is provided with a flow channel 1021, which communicates with the inner cavity of the assembly cooling device 104. Specifically, as follows... Figure 2 As shown, the flow channel 1021 is connected to the inner cavity 103. Figure 3 As shown, the flow channel 1021 is connected to the first inner cavity 1031.
[0055] Importantly, each charging slot 101 has multiple through holes 1022 on its outer periphery for outputting a cold source, and these through holes 1022 communicate with the flow channel 1021. The cold source generated in the inner cavity 103 or the first inner cavity 1031 flows through the flow channel 1021 to the through holes 1022, and the cold source flows out from the through holes 1022 to cool the drone battery inserted into the charging slot 101.
[0056] It should be understood that, in this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the through holes 1022 are arranged around the charging station 101, and the number of through holes 1022 is set according to actual usage requirements. Specifically, it is set according to the size of the charging station 101. For example, if each charging station 101 is a square structure with four sides, then each side has a corresponding through hole 1022. For a circular charging station 101, multiple through holes 1022 are arranged circumferentially on the periphery of the charging station 101.
[0057] like Figure 5 As shown, the cooling device 104 is provided in the base 102 in this embodiment. The cold source output end of the cooling device 104 is connected to each of the through holes 1022 through the flow channel 1021, so that the cold source is blown to the drone battery 100 through the through holes 1022.
[0058] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the through holes 1022 are arranged at an angle toward the center of the charging slot 101. That is, the through holes 1022 around each charging slot 101 expand outwards from top to bottom, specifically as follows: Figure 6 As shown. This arrangement of through-holes 1022 facilitates the concentrated blowing of cold air from the cold source onto the drone battery.
[0059] Compared to traditional charging systems that dissipate heat from the bottom of the charging station 101, this embodiment focuses more on dissipating heat from the portion of the drone battery exposed in the charging station 101. Specifically, the coolant is directed through the through-hole 1022 and blown directly onto the drone battery, thus achieving heat dissipation.
[0060] Of course, in this solution, the inner cavity 103 or the first inner cavity 1031 is also provided with a first through hole (not shown in the figure). This first through hole connects to the bottom of the charging station 101, thereby simultaneously achieving cooling and heat dissipation of the drone battery at the bottom of the charging station 101. This method can be implemented using existing technology, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0061] The solution adopted in this embodiment provides a new heat dissipation technology, namely, by setting multiple through holes 1022 around the charging station 101, the through holes 1022 output a cold source to cool the drone battery exposed outside the charging station 101.
[0062] In other embodiments, the through holes 1022 around each charging slot 101 are connected to the flow channel 1021 via a branch pipe 1023. Each branch pipe 1023 is equipped with a valve 1024 that controls the flow rate of the cold source. Each valve 1024 is electrically connected to a processor on the charging circuit board 105, and is used to control the flow rate of the cold source at the valve 1024 when a corresponding command is input. That is, in this solution, through the combined action of the branch pipes 1023 and the valves 1024, it is possible to achieve unified management of the through holes 1021 around each charging slot 101, thereby achieving individual cooling control of each charging station 101.
[0063] In this embodiment, valve 1024 is a flow control valve. The processor can precisely control valve 1024 according to control requirements.
[0064] On the one hand, the valve 1024 can control the through holes 1022 around a charging station 101 individually, and on the other hand, it can control the cold source flow of the through holes 1022 around each charging station 101.
[0065] Example 2
[0066] Importantly, this embodiment proposes a charging manager cooling control method, which can be used in the charging manager described in Embodiment 1. That is, the charging manager can implement the cooling control method of this embodiment.
[0067] Detailed, such as Figure 7 The charging butler cooling control method described herein includes the following steps:
[0068] The charging judgment step is to determine whether the charging slot of the charging manager is active for charging.
[0069] In the instruction output step, if charging is being executed, a control instruction is output so that the charging manager can perform cooling on the charging slot during the charging process.
[0070] The key to this method is determining whether charging is being performed at a specific charging slot 101. When charging is being performed, the charging manager is controlled to perform cooling operations on the charging slot where charging is being performed. Specifically, when a drone battery is charging at charging slot 101, the charging manager is controlled to perform cooling operations on that charging slot 101; charging slots 101 without a drone battery plugged in do not require cooling operations. This achieves precise cooling operations. Compared to the traditional method of cooling the entire charging manager whenever a drone battery is plugged in, the method of this invention achieves precise control and reduces power consumption.
[0071] It should be understood that when a drone battery is plugged into a charging slot 101 at the charging hub, the charging hub can automatically detect the connection between the charging slot 101 and the drone battery and initiate charging. Specifically, the charging circuit board 105 detects the connection between the charging slot 101 and the drone battery and feeds this signal back to the processor. The processor then executes the instruction output step, controlling the charging hub to supply a cooling source to the through-holes 1022 surrounding the charging slot 101. Of course, it should be understood that the charging circuit board 105 is a conventional charging circuit board for existing charging hubs, which has the ability to detect the drone battery connection signal, the drone battery's charge level, and the drone battery's temperature. Given that the charging circuit board 105 can be implemented using existing technology, this embodiment does not describe the charging circuit board in detail, but this should not be construed as insufficient disclosure of the present invention.
[0072] Specifically, the charging determination step can be determined by the charging circuit board 105 to determine whether the charging station of the charging manager is performing charging. When this signal is received, the processor will execute the signal and output a control command to control the valve 1024 of the through hole 1022 corresponding to the charging station 101 where the drone battery is plugged in to open, thereby realizing the cooling control of the charging station 101 performing charging.
[0073] The control command can be preset. That is, as long as the corresponding charging station 101 detects charging execution, a predetermined control command can be executed, which outputs a cold source with a specific flow rate or a cold source with a specific flow rate and temperature.
[0074] This method effectively solves the problem that existing charging management systems cannot perform targeted cooling, providing convenience for users and saving energy while reducing energy consumption.
[0075] In some other embodiments, the charging determination step is followed by a step of temperature detection of the battery at the charging slot where charging is performed;
[0076] If the battery temperature is higher than the preset value, execute the instruction output step;
[0077] If the battery temperature is lower than the preset value, the operation will not be performed.
[0078] In this specific embodiment, a temperature detection feedback mechanism has been incorporated. It should be clearly understood that when the battery temperature is not high, cooling is unnecessary. For example, if the drone battery temperature is 25 degrees Celsius, it is at an optimal charging temperature, and there is no need to waste energy cooling it.
[0079] Battery temperature detection can be achieved through the charging circuit board 105, which is a common existing technology in current drone battery charging systems and will not be elaborated upon in this embodiment. When the processor receives a real-time temperature value, it compares this real-time temperature value with a preset temperature value. If the real-time temperature value exceeds the preset temperature range, an instruction output step is executed to achieve cooling. If the real-time temperature value does not exceed the preset temperature, cooling is not executed, thus saving energy.
[0080] Of course, the preset values are based on the characteristics of different drone batteries. That is, the preset temperature values can be different for different types of drone batteries. This preset value can be set according to actual conditions. Any technical solution that merely changes this preset value falls within the protection scope of this invention.
[0081] Furthermore, as some specific preferred embodiments, cold sources with different flow rates or different flow rates and temperatures can be output according to different temperature values. For example, when the detected drone battery temperature is higher than a first preset temperature value, a first cold source matching the first preset temperature value is output. When the detected drone battery temperature is higher than a second preset temperature value, a second cold source matching the second preset temperature value is output. That is, the cold source output of the charging butler cooling control method of the present invention is based on different temperature values of the drone battery. Specifically, the specific parameters of the first and second cold sources can be preset. Specifically, different cooling effects can be obtained based on the characteristics of the drone battery, and in fact, this logical relationship can be obtained based on existing technology.
[0082] In some other embodiments, when multiple charging slots 101 of the charging manager are charging, the battery temperature at each charging slot is obtained.
[0083] Sort the temperature values of multiple batteries;
[0084] Based on the principle of cooling the batteries with higher temperatures in descending order of temperature, priority is given to cooling the batteries with higher temperatures.
[0085] When multiple charging slots 101 are charging drone batteries simultaneously, this invention can prioritize cooling based on the battery temperature values at each charging slot 101. Specifically, batteries with higher temperatures are cooled first, while those with lower temperatures are cooled later or receive less cooling. For example, if three drone batteries are being charged at temperatures of 55°C, 40°C, and 30°C, the battery at 55°C will be prioritized for cooling.
[0086] The priority cooling process is based on the amount of cold source energy, with higher-priority cold sources receiving more energy than the next higher-priority ones. For example, if the three drone batteries have temperatures of 55°C, 40°C, and 30°C, the battery at 55°C will receive a larger amount of cold source energy, while the battery at 30°C will receive less. This ensures that the higher-temperature drone battery cools down quickly, improving its charging efficiency and protecting it.
[0087] In summary, the technical solution of this invention achieves a more refined drone battery cooling function, achieving the goals of precise control and energy saving.
[0088] Example 3
[0089] like Figure 8 In addition, the present invention also proposes a charging butler cooling control device, comprising:
[0090] The charging judgment unit is used to determine whether the charging slot of the charging manager is in operation;
[0091] The output unit is used to output control commands when charging is performed, so that the charging manager can perform cooling of the charging slot during charging.
[0092] The charging determination unit analyzes how many charging slots 101 on the charging hub are used to charge the drone battery. The output unit, based on the structure of the charging determination unit, outputs control commands to the device to execute specific cooling actions.
[0093] The specific execution methods of the charging judgment unit and the output unit are the same as those described in Embodiments 1 and 2 above, so they will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0094] The solution in this embodiment enables the charging manager to cool the drone battery at the charging slot 101 where the drone battery is plugged in.
[0095] Example 4
[0096] Another aspect of the present invention provides a charging manager, the charging manager comprising: a cooling device, a memory, a processor, and a charging manager cooling control program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein:
[0097] The cooling device is used to output a cold source;
[0098] When the charging butler cooling control program is executed by the processor, it implements the steps of the charging butler cooling control method as described above.
[0099] As mentioned above, the cooling device can be a fan or a miniature air conditioner.
[0100] Specifically, the various structures of this charging manager are consistent with those shown in Embodiment 1, and will not be described in detail here. The charging manager cooling control method executed by the charging manager cooling control program is consistent with that described in Embodiment 2, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0101] In summary, the charging manager of the present invention realizes the function of cooling execution for individual charging stations 101, achieving precise cooling control; at the same time, it saves energy.
[0102] Example 5
[0103] Finally, the present invention also proposes a computer storage medium storing a charging butler cooling control program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of any of the above-described charging butler cooling control methods.
[0104] The specific cooling control method for the charging manager is the same as the control method described in Example 2, and will not be repeated in this example. However, this should not be construed as insufficient disclosure of the technical solution of the present invention.
[0105] The computer-readable storage medium can be any available medium accessible to a computer, or a data storage device such as a server or data center that integrates one or more available media. It should be noted that those skilled in the art will understand that all or part of the steps in the various methods of the above embodiments can be implemented by a computer program instructing related hardware. The computer program can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium, which can include, but is not limited to: magnetic media (e.g., floppy disks, hard disks, magnetic tapes), optical media (e.g., Digital Versatile Disc (DVD)), or semiconductor media (e.g., Solid State Disk (SSD)).
[0106] The technical solution of this invention enables a charging manager with multiple charging points to perform individual cooling for each charging slot. Furthermore, because of the individual cooling process, power waste can be avoided.
[0107] It should be noted that, in this document, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or system that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or system. Unless otherwise specified, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or system that includes that element.
[0108] The sequence numbers of the above embodiments of the present invention are for descriptive purposes only and do not represent the superiority or inferiority of the embodiments.
[0109] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the scope of the patent. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of the present invention, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the scope of patent protection of the present invention.
