Specifically, when the Type-C port 1 is connected to an external load, the Emark identification module detects and identifies the external device connected to the Type-C port 1, determines its power supply requirements, and outputs a digital signal to the DC-DC power processor 1. After receiving the signal, the DC-DC power processor 1 transmits the control signal to the DC-DC voltage conversion circuit 1, and controls the DC-DC voltage conversion circuit 1 to output the voltage required by the external device.

The BMS module 102 monitors the electrical parameters of the battery pack 101, and controls the input and output of the battery pack 101 according to the electrical parameters of the battery pack 101. When the electrical parameters of the battery pack 101 are abnormal, the connection with the external load is disconnected. When the D-Tap input and output port and the V-port input and output port are connected to the external load, if there is no abnormality, the BMS module 102 controls the output voltage of the battery pack 101, and outputs the output voltage to the D-Tap input and output port and the V-port input and output port, and supplies power to the external load through the D-Tap input and output port and the V-port input and output port.

[0065] Optionally, refer to Figure 7 As shown, the photographic battery may further include a display module, which is electrically connected to the main control circuit 103 and is used to display the electrical parameter information of the battery pack 101 and each port.

[0066] Optionally, refer to Figure 7 As shown, the photographic battery may further include a key module, which is electrically connected to the main control circuit 103 and is used to control the opening or closing of the photographic battery, so that the user can better manage and use the battery. Optionally, the key module may also open or close the display module, thereby allowing the user to view or hide the battery status information at any time as needed.

[0067] Optionally, refer to Figure 7 As shown, the photographic battery may further include a Bluetooth module 400, which is electrically connected to the main control circuit 103 and is used to communicate with the battery control terminal. After the Bluetooth module 400 is connected to the battery control terminal, the battery control terminal can read the battery's power, voltage, current, temperature, port voltage and current status and other information, and can control the opening or closing of the photographic battery, as well as control each port, to achieve remote control of the photographic battery.

[0068] It should be noted that the photographic battery in the embodiment of the present application may be a V-mount battery, or may be other types of batteries that are mainly used to power photographic equipment.

[0069] The following combination Figure 8The control method of the photographic battery including the first port module and the second port module in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail. The control method of the photographic battery can be executed by the main control circuit in the photographic battery, or can also be executed by the battery control terminal connected to the photographic battery in communication. Figure 8 As shown, the control method of the photographic battery at least includes steps S810 to S820, which are described in detail as follows:

[0070] In step S810, the total output power of the photographic battery and the power supply status of the first port module and the second port module are obtained.

[0071] In some optional embodiments, the power supply status of the first port module and the second port module can be obtained through the electrical connection circuit between each port included in the first port module and the second port module. Optionally, the power supply status may include whether it is in a power supply state. In addition to obtaining the power supply status, one or more parameters such as power supply voltage, power supply current, output power, etc. can also be obtained.

[0072] In step S820, if the first port module and the second port module are both in the external power supply state and the total output power of the photographic battery is higher than the first power threshold, the port in the second port module is controlled to be powered off so that the total output power of the photographic battery is lower than the first power threshold.

[0073] In this embodiment, when the total output power of the photographic battery exceeds a preset first power threshold, one or some ports in the second port module are controlled to be powered off, thereby effectively preventing the occurrence of overload of the photographic battery, avoiding the risk of battery overheating, performance degradation or even damage due to excessive power, and ensuring that the photographic equipment powered by the first port module has priority in obtaining sufficient power support.

[0074] In some optional embodiments, when controlling the ports in the second port module to be powered off, the ports in the second port module may be controlled to be powered off in sequence according to a set sequence until the total output power of the photographic battery is lower than the first power threshold. The set sequence includes any one of the following: the sequence of external power supply start time from late to early, and the power-off sequence set by the user.

[0075] For example, the second port module includes a DC8V output port and a DC12V output port, and the DC12V output port is first connected to an external device for power supply, and the DC8V output port is later connected to an external device for power supply. When controlling the ports in the second port module to be powered off, the DC8V output port can be controlled to be powered off first. If the total output power of the photographic battery is still higher than the first power threshold, the DC12V output port can be controlled to be powered off.

[0076] Optionally, the power-off sequence customized by the user may be set according to actual needs. For example, a setting interface may be provided to the user, and the user may adjust the power-off sequence of each port on the setting interface.

[0077] In some optional embodiments, if the total output power of the photographic battery is still higher than the first power threshold after all ports in the second port module are powered off, the output current of the photographic battery is obtained, and when the output current is higher than the set current threshold, the photographic battery is controlled to stop supplying power to the outside. The technical solution of this embodiment effectively prevents overheating, damage, or even safety accidents that may be caused by the photographic battery continuing to work under high current conditions, further ensures the safety and stability of the photographic battery, reduces the risk of premature aging of the battery due to long-term overload work, prolongs the service life of the battery, and reduces the frequency and cost of replacing the battery.

[0078] In some optional embodiments, if the first port module is not in an external power supply state, the second port module is in an external power supply state, and the total output power of the photographic battery is higher than the second power threshold, then the ports in the second port module are controlled to be powered off in a set order until the total output power of the photographic battery is lower than the second power threshold. The technical solution of this embodiment can also effectively prevent the occurrence of overload of the photographic battery, avoiding the risk of battery overheating, performance degradation or even damage due to excessive power.

[0079] In some optional embodiments, a display module is also provided on the photographic battery, and the display module is used to present a battery control interface corresponding to the photographic battery, so that the power adjustment instruction set by the user for the designated port in the second port module can be received through the battery control interface, and then the output power of the designated port can be controlled according to the power adjustment instruction. The technical solution of this embodiment allows the user to adjust the power of the designated port in the second port module through an intuitive and easy-to-use battery control interface, which not only meets the specific requirements of different devices or application scenarios for power output, but also improves the satisfaction of user experience. At the same time, by adjusting the output power of the port, it can ensure that the connected device operates within the optimal power range, which not only avoids energy waste, but also reduces the risk of device damage or performance degradation due to power mismatch, which is of great significance for extending battery life, protecting equipment, and improving the stability and reliability of the overall system.

[0080] In some optional embodiments, a Bluetooth module is also provided on the photographic battery, and the Bluetooth module is used to communicate with the battery control terminal. The battery control terminal displays a battery control interface corresponding to the photographic battery. Then, the battery status information of the photographic battery can be sent to the battery control terminal via the Bluetooth module, so that the battery control terminal presents the battery status information on the battery control interface, and then receives the control instructions triggered by the user on the battery control interface through the Bluetooth module, so as to control the charging and discharging process of the photographic battery based on the control instructions.

[0081] The technical solution of the above-mentioned embodiment enables the battery status information to be sent to the battery control terminal in real time through the Bluetooth module and presented intuitively on the battery control interface, so that the user can grasp the real-time status of the battery at any time, so as to reasonably arrange the shooting plan and avoid interrupting the shooting due to insufficient battery power. At the same time, the control instructions triggered by the user on the battery control interface (such as charging start, charging stop, discharge mode adjustment, etc.) are quickly transmitted to the photographic battery through the Bluetooth module, realizing the precise control of the charging and discharging process of the photographic battery and improving the control efficiency of the photographic battery. The graphical display and intuitive operation buttons on the battery control interface also lower the threshold for use, so that even non-professionals can easily get started. This portable operation method not only improves the user's work efficiency, but also enhances the user's experience.

[0082] In some optional embodiments, the control instructions may include power adjustment instructions for a specified port in the second port module, and the output power of the specified port may be controlled according to the power adjustment instructions. This can meet the specific requirements of different devices or application scenarios for power output and realize personalized settings for different ports.

[0083] In some optional embodiments, the battery status information displayed in the battery control interface may include at least one of the following information: the remaining battery power of the photographic battery, the remaining discharge time of the photographic battery, the temperature of the photographic battery, the attribute information of each port of the photographic battery, the power supply status of each port of the photographic battery, the abnormal alarm information of the photographic battery, the controls corresponding to each port of the photographic battery, the switch control of the photographic battery, the status information display mode switching control, the health status of the photographic battery, the number of times the photographic battery is charged, the number of times the photographic battery is discharged, the remaining life of the photographic battery, the charging threshold of the photographic battery, and the discharge threshold of the photographic battery.

[0084] In some optional embodiments, if it is detected that there is a target port in the second port module whose output power is higher than the third power threshold, the target port is controlled to be powered off. The technical solution of this embodiment can effectively avoid the risk of equipment damage caused by excessive port output power, which is crucial for protecting the external device connected to the port and the photographic battery itself, ensuring the safety and stability of the device. It can also achieve precise control of the output power of each port, and realize refined management of the photographic battery.

[0085] In some optional embodiments, if a shutdown instruction is received for the target port in the second port module, the target port is controlled to be powered off. The technical solution of this embodiment enables the system to quickly identify and respond to the shutdown instruction and accurately control the power-off process of the specified target port. Optionally, the user can issue a shutdown instruction through the battery control terminal or a related interface, and the power-off status of the port can also be displayed in real time on the control interface. This intuitive operation feedback enhances the user's sense of control and improves the overall user experience.

[0086] In a specific application scenario, refer to Figure 7 As shown, assuming that the second port module includes a DC12V output port, a DC8V output port, a USB-A output port, a Type-C port 1, and a Type-C port 2, these ports and the first port module are all supplying power to the outside, and the total output power is greater than 125W (the value is only an example), then the display module of the photographic battery and / or the interface of the battery control terminal may prompt that the remaining power is insufficient and the power is about to be cut off. The power cut follows the principle of first cutting off the controllable port and then cutting off the uncontrollable port. For the controllable port: follow the principle of cutting off the power first after the last insertion, and start cutting off the power from the last inserted port. If the output power is still greater than 125W after all the controllable ports are disconnected, the battery can continue to supply power. If the output current exceeds 14A (the value is only an example), the photographic battery performs overcurrent protection, and the BMS module cuts off the entire battery output to the outside. At this time, the photographic battery is powered off as a whole. In this case, the display module of the photographic battery can continue to display, or it can be turned off and no longer display, and it can resume work after reconnecting to the device.

[0087] Assuming that the first port module does not supply power to the outside, and only the DC12V output port, DC8V output port, USB-A output port, Type-C port 1 and Type-C port 2 in the second port module are supplying power to the outside, and the total output power is greater than 110W (the value is only an example), then the display module of the photographic battery and / or the interface of the battery control terminal may prompt that the remaining power is insufficient and the power is about to be cut off. The power is cut off according to the principle of powering off the last inserted port first, starting from the last inserted port, until the output power is less than 110W, the prompt information on the display module of the photographic battery and / or the interface of the battery control terminal disappears, and the battery operation returns to normal.

[0088] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the user can also control one or more parameters of the closing, opening and output power of each port through the display module of the photographic battery and / or the interface of the battery control terminal. This can achieve effective control of the photographic battery, improve the safety of use and power supply efficiency of the photographic battery while expanding the use scenarios of the photographic battery.
