Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of electronic atomization technology, and in particular to a charging method for a charging device and a charging device and storage medium thereof. Background Art

[0002] As electronic atomization devices develop faster and faster, all aspects from materials to technology are becoming more and more mature, and people's needs are becoming more and more diversified. As a special type of consumer electronic products that use lithium batteries as a power source, miniaturization, low cost, and long battery life are gradually becoming the demands that people are paying more and more attention to today.

[0003] The introduction of fast charging technology has to some extent alleviated the need for people to use electronic atomization devices when the battery in the electronic atomization device is low on power or out of power. Under appropriate conditions, the electronic atomization device can be quickly recharged through fast charging technology.

[0058] The embodiment of the present application provides a charging method for a charging device and its charging device and storage medium, which are used to set different switchable charging modes in the charging device, so as to meet the different charging requirements of the external terminal, enable the charging device to charge the external terminal in a diversified manner, and at the same time realize the miniaturization and low-cost design of the external terminal.

[0059] There are usually two types of chargers on the market. One is a conventional charger, which charges the external terminal through a conventional charging interface. The charging speed is slow. For consumers who are not in a hurry to charge, this charger is inexpensive. The other is a fast charger, which charges the external terminal through a fast charging interface. The charging speed is fast and can meet the needs of consumers who are in a hurry to charge.

[0060] The charging device provided in the embodiment of the present application integrates these two different charging modes into one charging device, and switches between conventional charging and fast charging according to the needs of the user, providing consumers with a multifunctional charging device with selectable and switchable charging modes, which is flexible and convenient to use.

[0061] Please refer to the following Figure 1The charging device 100 shown in the embodiment of the present application includes a first control chip 101, a first charging structure 102, a charging protection structure 103, a first charging interface 104 and a second charging interface 105. The first control chip 101 is electrically connected to one end of the first charging structure 102, the first charging interface 104 and the second charging interface 105 respectively, one end of the charging protection structure 103 is electrically connected to the other end of the first charging structure 102, and the other end of the charging protection structure 103 is electrically connected to the first charging interface 104 and the second charging interface 105 respectively.

[0062] Next reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 The figure is a schematic diagram of a charging method of the charging device 100 in the embodiment of the present application. The charging method of the charging device 100 in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below:

[0063] 210. The first control chip receives external connection information;

[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, the external connection information is connection information of the external terminal 200 being electrically connected to the first charging interface 104 and the second charging interface 105 .

[0065] When the external terminal 200 needs to be charged by electrically connecting to the charging device 100, the external terminal 200 can be connected through the charging interface on the charging device 100. At this time, the first control chip 101 in the charging device 100 will receive the external connection information of the external terminal 200. As mentioned above, the charging device 100 can be provided with two charging interfaces, namely the first charging interface 104 and the second charging interface 105. It can be seen that the external connection information when the external terminal 200 is connected to the first charging interface 104 is different from the external connection information when the external terminal 200 is connected to the second charging interface 105.

[0066] 220. The first control chip sends different charging instructions to the first charging structure according to the type of the received external connection information, so that the external terminal electrically connected to the charging device obtains different charging modes for charging through the first charging structure.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, the types of external connection information include first connection information and second connection information. The first connection information is information about the electrical connection between the first charging interface 104 and the external terminal 200 , and the second connection information is information about the electrical connection between the second charging interface 105 and the external terminal 200 .

[0068] After the first control chip 101 receives the external connection information, the first control chip 101 can send different charging instructions to the first charging structure according to the type of the received external connection information. Since the type of external connection information can include the first connection information and the second connection information, when the external terminal 200 is electrically connected to the first charging interface 104, the first control chip 101 will receive the first connection information, which is the information that the first charging interface 104 is electrically connected to the external terminal 200; when the external terminal 200 is electrically connected to the second charging interface 105, the first control chip 101 will receive the second connection information, which is the information that the second charging interface 105 is electrically connected to the external terminal 200.

[0069] Next, the first control chip 101 may send different charging instructions to the first charging structure 102 according to the type of external connection information received, so that the external terminal 200 electrically connected to the charging device 100 obtains different charging modes for charging through the first charging structure 102. Specifically, when the first control chip 101 receives the first connection information, the first control chip 101 may send a charging instruction matching the first charging interface 104 to the first charging structure 102; when the first control chip 101 receives the second connection information, the first control chip 101 may send a charging instruction matching the second charging interface 105 to the first charging structure 102.

[0070] That is to say, the first control chip 101 can switch to send different charging instructions to the first charging structure 102 according to the types of different external connection information received.

[0071] It should be noted that the function of the charging protection structure 103 is to protect the external terminal 200 when it is electrically connected to the charging device 100, so that the rechargeable battery inside can be charged within the voltage and current limiting range without being damaged by overvoltage and overcurrent.

[0072] As can be seen from the above, since two different charging interfaces are provided in the charging device 100, and a charging mode matching the first charging interface 104 and a charging mode matching the second charging interface 105 are preset in the first charging structure 103, and the two charging modes are different, the first control chip 101 can select the charging mode preset in the first charging structure 102 to charge the external terminal 200 according to the first connection information that the external terminal 200 is electrically connected to the first charging interface 104 or the second connection information that the external terminal 200 is electrically connected to the second charging interface 105. When the external terminal 200 is electrically connected to the first charging interface 104, the first control chip 101 will send a charging instruction matching the first connection information to the first charging structure 103, and the first charging structure 103 will charge the external terminal according to the charging instruction matching the first connection information, and when the external terminal 200 is electrically connected to the second charging interface 105, the first control chip 101 will send a charging instruction matching the second connection information to the first charging structure 102, and the first charging structure 102 will charge the external terminal 200 according to the charging instruction matching the second connection information. In this way, the charging device 100 can send different charging instructions to the first charging structure 102 according to different external charging information received, so as to switch different charging modes to charge the external terminal 200. In this way, the external terminal 200 can save the trouble of setting up a costly charging structure, which not only realizes the miniaturization and low cost of the external terminal structure, but also makes the charging method of the charging device flexible and diverse, and the charging mode can be freely switched according to consumer needs, thereby improving the performance of the charging device, enriching the charging mode of the charging device, and meeting the diverse usage needs of consumers, making the use of the charging device more convenient.

[0073] For further information, see Figure 3 , Figure 3 : is a flow chart of another charging method for a charging device in an embodiment of the present application. Another charging method for a charging device provided in an embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0074] 310. The first control chip receives external connection information;

[0075] This step is similar to the previous Figure 2 Step 210 of the illustrated embodiment is similar and is not specifically limited here.

[0076] 320. The first control chip detects the type of external connection information;

[0077] In this embodiment, when the first control chip determines that the type of the external connection information is the first connection information, step 330 is executed; and when the first control chip determines that the type of the external connection information is the second connection information, step 340 is executed.

[0078] 330. The first control chip sends a first charging instruction to the first charging structure;

[0079] In this embodiment, the first charging instruction is to instruct the first charging structure to select the first charging mode to charge the external terminal 200 , and the first charging mode is a fast charging mode preset in the charging device 100 .

[0080] When the first control chip 101 determines that the external connection information is the first connection information, the first control chip 101 sends a first charging instruction to the first charging structure 102, and the first charging structure 102 selects a first charging mode, that is, a fast charging mode preset in the charging device 100 to charge the external terminal 200.

[0081] 340. The first control chip sends a second charging instruction to the first charging structure.

[0082] In this embodiment, the second charging instruction is to instruct the first charging structure to select the second charging mode to charge the external terminal, and the second charging mode is a normal charging mode preset in the charging device.

[0083] When the first control chip 101 determines that the external connection information is the second connection information, the first control chip 101 sends a second charging instruction to the first charging structure 102, and the first charging structure 102 selects the second charging mode, that is, the conventional charging mode preset in the charging device 100 to charge the external terminal 200. It should be noted that step 330 and step 340 are not executed in sequence, but in parallel, that is, after executing step 320, step 330 or step 340 can be executed, which depends on the external connection information detected by the first control chip 101.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present application, the first charging interface 104 for fast charging and the second charging interface 105 for regular charging are respectively provided in the charging device 100, and a fast charging mode matching the first charging interface 104 and a regular charging mode matching the second charging interface 105 are preset in the first charging structure 102. When the external terminal 200 is connected to the first charging interface, the first control chip 101 of the charging device 100 can receive the first connection information, and send a first charging instruction to the first charging structure 102 according to the first connection information. The first charging instruction is a fast charging instruction, so the charging device 100 can quickly charge the external terminal 200 through the first charging structure 102, the charging protection structure 103 and the first charging interface 104. When the external terminal 200 is connected to the second charging interface, the first control chip 101 of the charging device 100 can receive the second connection information and send a second charging instruction to the first charging structure 102 according to the second connection information. The second charging instruction is a regular charging instruction, so the charging device 100 can perform regular charging on the external terminal 200 through the first charging structure 102, the charging protection structure 103 and the second charging interface 105.

[0085] It should be noted that the conventional charging mode refers to conventional charging through a conventional charging interface. Currently, the common conventional charging interfaces on the market include TYPE-A interface, TYPE-B interface and TYPE-C interface. The rated voltage of the conventional charging interface is usually 5 volts.

[0086] In addition, the external terminal 200 may be an electronic atomization device, such as an electronic cigarette, a medical physiotherapy atomization device, or a cosmetic electronic atomization device, which is not specifically limited here.

[0087] Since the current passing through the external terminal 200 in the conventional charging mode is much smaller than the current passing through the external terminal 200 in the fast charging mode, accordingly, the charging speed in the conventional charging mode is also much slower than the charging speed in the fast charging mode. People can adopt which charging mode to charge according to their actual needs. When charging is in a hurry and the external terminal 200 is expected to maintain a long battery life in a short time, in this case, the external terminal 200 can be connected to the first charging interface 104 to charge the external terminal 200. When there is plenty of time, people can connect the external terminal 200 to the second charging interface 105 and use the conventional charging mode.

[0088] The following reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the specific structure of the charger 400 in the embodiment of the present application. A specific application scenario of the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0089] The charger 400 includes a main control part 401, a charging module 402, a charging protection structure 403, a fast charging interface J1, USB1, USB2 and a power switch K1, wherein the main control part 401 is electrically connected to one end of the charging module 402, the fast charging interface J1 and the conventional charging interface USB2, one end of the charging protection part 403 is electrically connected to the other end of the charging module 402, and the other end of the charging protection part 403 is electrically connected to the fast charging interface J1 and the conventional charging interface USB2, in addition, USB1 is used as a power access terminal, and is electrically connected to one end of the charging module 402, one end of the main control part 401 and the power switch K1. The power switch K1 is used to control the disconnection of the external power supply.

[0090] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the charging protection part 403 can be an overvoltage protection circuit, an overcurrent protection circuit, or a short circuit protection circuit, which is not specifically limited here.

[0091] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the charging device 100 serving as a charger may be a charging cable, or a power bank, a mobile phone, a computer, or an iPad, which is not specifically limited here.

[0092] Reference Figure 5 , a charging method of a charger provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0093] 510. The main control part receives external connection information;

[0094] In this embodiment, when the electronic cigarette 500 is connected to the charger 400, the charger 400 can receive external connection information.

[0095] 520. The main control part detects the type of external connection information;

[0096] There are two types of external connection information, one is fast charging information, and the other is regular charging information.

[0097] When the main control part detects that the type of the external connection information is fast charging information, step 530 is executed; and when the main control part detects that the type of the external connection information is regular charging information, step 540 is executed.

[0098] 530. The main control part sends a fast charging instruction to the charging module so that the electronic cigarette can be quickly charged;

[0099] 540. The main control part sends a normal charging instruction to the charging module so that the electronic cigarette performs normal charging.

[0100] For further information, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of another charging device according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present application, the charging device 100 may further include a temperature sensing device 106 , and the temperature sensing device 106 is electrically connected to the first control chip 101 .

[0102] It should be noted that the installation position of the temperature sensing device 106 in the charging device 100 can be divided into two situations. One situation is that the temperature sensing device 106 is used to monitor the temperature change of the first charging structure 102. Since the charging device 100 is prone to generate high heat when charging the external terminal 200, in order to avoid the risk of damage or explosion of the charging device 100 and the external terminal 200 during the charging process, in this case, the temperature sensing device 106 can be set around the first charging structure 102, or the temperature sensing device 106 can be connected to the first charging structure 102. The second situation is that the temperature sensing device 106 is used to monitor the temperature environment around the outside of the charging device 100. When the temperature environment around the outside of the charging device 100 is abnormal, such as a fire or abnormally high temperature, in order to attract the attention of users or other personnel around the charging device 100, the temperature sensing device 106 can be set on the outer surface of the charging device 100, or it can be set on the charging device 100 near the outside of the charging device 100. For example, it can be like a mobile phone camera. When taking a photo, the mobile phone camera can automatically extend from the upper end of the mobile phone, and the temperature sensing device 106 can also monitor the temperature around the outside of the charging device 100 through a setting similar to that of a mobile phone camera.

[0103] For the first case, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 It is a flowchart of another charging method for a charging device in an embodiment of the present application.
