Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0022] The flowcharts shown in the accompanying drawings are only illustrative, and do not necessarily include all contents and operations / steps, nor do they necessarily need to be executed in the described order. For example, some operations / steps can also be decomposed, combined or partially merged, so the actual execution order may change according to the actual situation.

[0023] In recent years, with the development of the sharing economy, shared power banks have gradually come into people's sight. In daily use, power banks need to be used in combination with cabinets to meet the needs of users for renting and charging power banks. When users return power banks, the return needs need to be completed through the communication between the power bank and the cabinet.

[0024] At present, the communication method between power banks and cabinet machines on the market is basically through pogo pins. Specifically, the female pogo pin is installed in the power bank, and the male pogo pin is installed in the cabinet. Communication is achieved by the contact between the female pogo pin in the power bank and the male pogo pin in the cabinet. However, over time and with long-term use, the pogo pins will oxidize, or the pogo pin body will deform, resulting in poor contact, and further leading to abnormal communication between the power bank and the cabinet, seriously affecting the return service of the power bank and bringing a very poor user experience.

[0025] To solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a method and device for returning a mobile power source. Among them, the method for returning a mobile power source is applied to a mobile power management device. The mobile power management device includes a plurality of power bins for placing mobile power sources. The mobile power management device can communicate with the mobile power source in a wired and wireless manner. The method includes: in response to the mobile power source being inserted into any one of the power bins and the wired communication between the mobile power source and the mobile power management device failing, establishing a wireless communication link between the mobile power management device and the mobile power source; obtaining device information transmitted by the mobile power source through the wireless communication link and sending the device information to the server, so that the server settles and processes the rental order associated with the mobile power source according to the device information.

[0026] The following will describe in detail some embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a schematic flowchart of a method for returning a mobile power source provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0028] As Figure 1 shown, the method for returning a mobile power source includes steps S101 to S102.

[0029] Step S101: In response to the mobile power source being inserted into any one of the power bins and the wired communication between the mobile power source and the mobile power management device failing, establish a wireless communication link between the mobile power management device and the mobile power source.

[0030] Among them, the method for returning a mobile power source can be applied to a mobile power management device, such as Figure 2As shown in the figure, the mobile power management device includes a device body 10 and a plurality of power bins 11. Each power bin 11 is arranged in the device body 10 in sequence. The power bin 11 is set in a cabin structure, which is used to place the mobile power supply and can charge the mobile power supply. The cabin structure of the power bin 11 is the same as the shape of the mobile power supply, so that the mobile power supply can be placed in the power bin 11.

[0031] In some embodiments, a second infrared emitter is also provided in each power bin. In response to any infrared receiver receiving a second infrared signal, it is determined that a mobile power supply is inserted into the power bin corresponding to the infrared receiver. The second infrared signal is from the second infrared emitter. By providing a second infrared emitter in each power bin, in response to the second infrared signal received by any infrared receiver, it is determined that a mobile power supply is inserted into the power bin.

[0032] It should be noted that a second infrared emitter is also provided in each power bin. The second infrared emitter is arranged facing the opening of the power bin, and the second infrared emitter emits a second infrared signal outward along the direction of the opening. If a mobile power supply is inserted into the power bin, the second infrared signal emitted outward is reflected by the inserted mobile power supply and reflected to the infrared receiver, so that the receiver receives the second infrared signal.

[0033] Exemplarily, a second infrared emitter is also provided in each power bin. The second infrared emitter emits a second infrared signal. When any infrared receiver does not receive the second infrared signal, it is determined that no mobile power supply is inserted into the power bin. When the infrared receiver receives the second infrared signal, it is determined that a mobile power supply has been inserted into the power bin.

[0034] In some embodiments, the power bin includes a charging head, and the mobile power supply includes a charging interface. By connecting the charging head to the charging interface, the mobile power management device can supply power to the mobile power supply. When the mobile power supply is inserted into the power bin, it is executed to turn on the power supply connected to the charging head, so that the power supply is transmitted to the mobile power supply through the charging interface of the mobile power supply. When the mobile power supply receives the power supply from the mobile power management device, it is determined that the wired communication link composed of the charging head and the charging interface is turned on, and the mobile power supply wakes up the internal micro control unit. The micro control unit obtains the device information of the mobile power supply and sends the device information to the mobile power management device through the wired communication link. The device information of the mobile power supply can be accurately obtained through the wired communication link.

[0035] It should be noted that the device information includes but is not limited to the device ID, device factory date, device model, etc. of the mobile power supply. The charging head can be a pogo pin male socket, and the charging interface is a pogo pin female socket.

[0036] In some embodiments, the mobile power management device includes a first wireless communication module, and the mobile power source includes a second wireless communication module. Among them, the first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module include any one of the following: an infrared communication module, a Bluetooth communication module, a 433 MHz communication module, a 315 MHz communication module, a near-field communication module, and a radio frequency identification communication module.

[0037] In some embodiments, when the mobile power source is inserted into the power supply bin, the power supply connected to the charging head is controlled to be turned on, so that the power supply is transmitted to the mobile power source through the charging interface of the mobile power source. When the mobile power source does not receive the power supply from the mobile power management device, it is determined that the wired communication link composed of the charging head and the charging interface fails.

[0038] In some embodiments, in response to the mobile power source being inserted into any power supply bin and the wired communication between the mobile power source and the mobile power management device failing, the first wireless communication module is started and the operation of waking up the mobile power source is performed to wake up the mobile power source. Among them, the second wireless communication module is started after the mobile power source is woken up; a wireless communication link between the mobile power management device and the mobile power source is established through the first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module. When the wired communication between the mobile power source and the mobile power management device fails, the device information of the mobile device can be accurately obtained by establishing a wireless communication link between the mobile power management device and the mobile power source.

[0039] In some embodiments, the method of performing the operation of waking up the mobile power source can be: repeatedly controlling the power supply connected to the charging head to be turned on for a preset time and then turned off, as a wake-up signal for the mobile power source. The wake-up signal is used to indicate that the wake-up program in the mobile power source wakes up the mobile power source when the wake-up signal is obtained through the charging interface. Among them, the preset time can be set according to the actual situation, and the embodiments of the present invention do not make specific limitations in this regard. For example, the preset time can be 1 second. By generating a wake-up signal, when the mobile power source receives the wake-up signal, the mobile power source will be woken up.

[0040] In some embodiments, the step of controlling the power supply connected to the charging head to be turned on for a preset time and then turned off is performed N times to generate a wake-up signal, so that the wake-up program in the mobile power source wakes up the mobile power source when the wake-up signal is obtained through the charging interface. Among them, the preset time and N can be set according to the actual situation, and the embodiments of the present invention do not make specific limitations in this regard. For example, the preset time can be 1 second and N can be set to 5 times. By generating a wake-up signal, when the mobile power source receives the wake-up signal, the mobile power source will be woken up.

[0041] Exemplarily, execute the step of controlling the power supply connected to the charging head to turn off after a preset time for N times to generate a wake-up signal. When the charging interface of the mobile power supply obtains the wake-up signal, wake up the micro-control unit according to the wake-up signal, and establish a wireless communication link between the mobile power supply management device and the mobile power supply through the first near-field communication module and the second near-field communication module.

[0042] Exemplarily, execute the step of controlling the power supply connected to the charging head to turn off after a preset time for N times to generate a wake-up signal. When the charging interface of the mobile power supply obtains the wake-up signal, wake up the micro-control unit according to the wake-up signal, and establish a wireless communication link between the mobile power supply management device and the mobile power supply through the first Bluetooth communication module and the second Bluetooth communication module.

[0043] In some embodiments, in response to the mobile power supply being inserted into any power bin and the wired communication between the mobile power supply and the charging cabinet failing, turn off the second infrared emitter. By turning off the second infrared receiver, it is possible to prevent the second infrared receiver from outputting an electrical signal that interferes with the reception of device information.

[0044] Step S102, obtain the device information transmitted by the mobile power supply through the wireless communication link, and send the device information to the server, so that the server performs settlement processing on the rental order associated with the mobile power supply according to the device information.

[0045] In some embodiments, after a wireless communication link has been established between the mobile power supply management device and the mobile power supply, the micro-control unit of the mobile power supply obtains the device information and transmits the device information to the mobile power supply management device through the wireless communication link. The mobile power supply management device obtains the device information transmitted by the mobile power supply and sends the device information to the server. The mobile power supply management device can accurately obtain the device information of the mobile power supply through this wireless communication link.

[0046] In some embodiments, an infrared receiver is provided in each power bin, and the mobile power supply includes a first infrared emitter. When the mobile power supply is inserted into the power bin, the infrared receiver can receive the first infrared signal emitted by the first infrared emitter, and obtain the electrical signal output by the infrared receiver based on the received first infrared signal. The first infrared signal is emitted by the first infrared emitter controlled by the device information of the mobile power supply; process the electrical signal to obtain the device information transmitted by the mobile power supply. By processing the received electrical signal, the device information of the mobile power supply can be accurately obtained.

[0047] In some embodiments, the method for processing the electrical signal to obtain the device information transmitted by the mobile power supply may be: amplifying, filtering, denoising, and decoding the electrical signal to obtain the device information of the mobile power supply. The specific decoding process is a conventional technical means, and the present application will not elaborate on it too much.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module are near-field communication modules. The first near-field communication module receives the near-field communication signal transmitted by the second near-field communication module and decodes the near-field communication signal to obtain the device information of the mobile power supply.

[0049] In some embodiments, after the server receives the device information, it verifies the device information with the target device information in the rental order. If the information verification passes, it performs settlement processing on the rental order. This can efficiently process the mobile power supply return service.

[0050] In some embodiments, the method for verifying the device information with the target device information in the rental order may be: comparing the device information and the target device information. If the device information and the target device information are the same, it is determined that the verification passes; if the device information and the target device information are different, it is determined that the verification fails.

[0051] In some embodiments, the power supply bin further includes a locking mechanism. After the server performs settlement processing on the rental order, it generates a locking instruction and sends the locking instruction to the mobile power supply management device. The mobile power supply management device controls the locking mechanism to lock the mobile power supply in the power supply bin according to the locking instruction.

[0052] The mobile power supply return method provided in the above embodiments, in response to the mobile power supply being inserted into any power supply bin and the wired communication between the mobile power supply and the mobile power supply management device failing, establishes a wireless communication link between the mobile power supply management device and the mobile power supply, obtains the device information transmitted by the mobile power supply through the wireless communication link, and sends the device information to the server, so that the server performs settlement processing on the rental order associated with the mobile power supply according to the device information. In the present application, when the wired communication between the mobile power supply management and the mobile power supply fails, by establishing a wireless communication link between the mobile power supply management device and the mobile power supply, the device information of the mobile power supply can be received in a timely manner and sent to the server, so that the server can perform settlement processing on the rental order associated with the mobile power supply in a timely manner, greatly improving the success rate and efficiency of mobile power supply return.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which is a schematic flow chart of another mobile power supply return method provided by the embodiments of the present application.

[0054] As Figure 3As shown, the method for returning the mobile power supply includes steps S201 to S203.

[0055] Step S201: In response to the mobile power supply being inserted into any one of the power supply bins and the wired communication between the mobile power supply and the mobile power supply management device failing, start the first wireless communication module.

[0056] Among them, the mobile power supply management device includes a first wireless communication module, and the mobile power supply includes a second wireless communication module. The first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module include any one of the following: an infrared communication module, a Bluetooth communication module, a 433MHz communication module, a 315MHz communication module, a near-field communication module, and a radio frequency identification communication module.

[0057] In some embodiments, a second infrared emitter is further provided in each power supply bin. In response to any infrared receiver receiving a second infrared signal, it is determined that a mobile power supply is inserted into the power supply bin corresponding to the infrared receiver, and the second infrared signal is from the second infrared emitter. By providing a second infrared emitter in each power supply bin, in response to any infrared receiver receiving a second infrared signal, it is determined that a mobile power supply is inserted into the power supply bin.

[0058] In some embodiments, when the mobile power supply is inserted into the power supply bin, the power supply connected to the charging head is controlled to be turned on, so that the power supply is transmitted to the mobile power supply through the charging interface of the mobile power supply. When the mobile power supply does not receive power supply from the mobile power supply management device, it is determined that the wired communication link composed of the charging head and the charging interface fails, and the first wireless communication module is started.

[0059] Step S202: Establish a wireless communication link between the mobile power supply management device and the mobile power supply through the first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module. The second wireless communication module is started after the mobile power supply is automatically awakened.

[0060] In some embodiments, the mobile power supply continuously wakes up the microcontroller unit or wakes up the microcontroller unit at a preset time interval. By continuously waking up or waking up the microcontroller unit at a preset time interval, the device information can be obtained as soon as possible. Among them, the preset time can be set according to the actual situation, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations in this regard. For example, the preset time can be set to 5 seconds.

[0061] In some embodiments, after the mobile power supply wakes up the microcontroller unit, the second wireless communication module is started, and a wireless communication link between the mobile power supply management device and the mobile power supply is established through the first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module.

[0062] Step S203: Obtain the device information transmitted by the mobile power supply through the wireless communication link, and send the device information to the server, so that the server performs settlement processing on the rental order associated with the mobile power supply according to the device information.

[0063] In some embodiments, after a wireless communication link is established between the mobile power supply management device and the mobile power supply, the micro control unit of the mobile power supply obtains the device information, and transmits the device information to the mobile power supply management device through the wireless communication link. The mobile power supply management device obtains the device information transmitted by the mobile power supply and sends the device information to the server. The mobile power supply management device can accurately obtain the device information of the mobile power supply through this wireless communication link.

[0064] In some embodiments, after the server receives the device information, it verifies the device information with the target device information in the rental order. If the information verification passes, settlement processing is performed on the rental order. The mobile power supply return service can be processed efficiently.

[0065] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 shown, Step S301: Insert the mobile power supply into any power bin; Step S302: Determine whether the wired communication between the mobile power supply and the mobile power supply management device is normal; if the wired communication between the mobile power supply and the mobile power supply management device is normal, execute Step S303: Obtain the device information of the mobile power supply through the wired communication link between the mobile power supply and the mobile power supply management device; if the wired communication between the mobile power supply and the mobile power supply management device is abnormal, execute Step S304: Establish a wireless communication link between the mobile power supply management device and the mobile power supply; Step S305: Obtain the device information transmitted by the mobile power supply through the wireless communication link; Step S306: Send the device information to the server, so that the server performs settlement processing on the rental order associated with the mobile power supply according to the device information.

[0066] In the mobile power supply return method in the above embodiments, in response to the mobile power supply being inserted into any power supply bin and the wired communication between the mobile power supply and the mobile power supply management device failing, a wireless communication link is established between the mobile power supply management device and the mobile power supply, device information transmitted by the mobile power supply is obtained through the wireless communication link, and the device information is sent to the server so that the server can perform settlement processing on the rental order associated with the mobile power supply according to the device information. In this application, when the wired communication between the mobile power supply management and the mobile power supply fails, by establishing a wireless communication link between the mobile power supply management device and the mobile power supply, the device information of the mobile power supply can be received in a timely manner and sent to the server, so that the server can perform settlement processing on the rental order associated with the mobile power supply in a timely manner according to the device information, greatly improving the success rate and efficiency of returning the mobile power supply.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 which is a schematic flowchart of another mobile power supply return method provided by an embodiment of this application.

[0068] As Figure 5 shown, this mobile power supply return method includes steps S401 to S402.

[0069] Step S401: In response to the mobile power supply being inserted into any of the power supply bins and the wired communication between the mobile power supply and the mobile power supply management device failing, establish a wireless communication link between the mobile power supply and the mobile power supply management device.

[0070] In some embodiments, a second infrared emitter is further provided in each power supply bin. In response to any infrared receiver receiving a second infrared signal, it is determined that a mobile power supply is inserted into the power supply bin corresponding to the infrared receiver, and the second infrared signal comes from the second infrared emitter. By providing a second infrared emitter in each power supply bin, in response to the second infrared signal received by any infrared receiver, it is determined that a mobile power supply is inserted into the power supply bin.

[0071] In some embodiments, the power supply bin includes a charging head, and the mobile power supply includes a charging interface. Connect the charging head to the charging interface, and the mobile power supply management device can supply power to the mobile power supply. When the mobile power supply is inserted into the power supply bin, control the power supply connected to the charging head to be turned on, so that the power supply is transmitted to the mobile power supply through the charging interface of the mobile power supply. When the mobile power supply receives the power supply from the mobile power supply management device, it is determined that the wired communication link composed of the charging head and the charging interface is conducting, the mobile power supply wakes up the internal micro control unit, and the micro control unit obtains the device information of the mobile power supply and sends the device information to the mobile power supply management device through the wired communication link. The device information of the mobile power supply can be accurately obtained through the wired communication link.

[0072] In some embodiments, when the mobile power supply is inserted into the power supply bin, the power supply connected to the charging head is controlled to be turned on, so that the power supply is transmitted to the mobile power supply through the charging interface of the mobile power supply. When the mobile power supply does not receive power supply from the mobile power supply management device, it is determined that the wired communication link composed of the charging head and the charging interface fails.

[0073] In some embodiments, in response to the mobile power supply being inserted into any power supply bin and the wired communication between the mobile power supply and the mobile power supply management device failing, the first wireless communication module is started and the operation of waking up the mobile power supply is performed to wake up the mobile power supply. After the mobile power supply is woken up, the second wireless communication module is started; a wireless communication link between the mobile power supply management device and the mobile power supply is established through the first wireless communication module and the second wireless communication module. When the wired communication between the mobile power supply and the mobile power supply management device fails, the device information of the mobile device can be accurately obtained by establishing a wireless communication link between the mobile power supply management device and the mobile power supply.

[0074] Step S402: Transmit the device information transmitted by the mobile power supply to the mobile power supply management device through the wireless communication link, so that the mobile power supply management device sends the device information to the server, and the server performs settlement processing on the rental order associated with the mobile power supply according to the device information.

The mobile power supply management device obtains the device information transmitted by the mobile power supply and sends the device information to the server. The mobile power supply management device can accurately obtain the device information of the mobile power supply through this wireless communication link.

[0076] In some embodiments, an infrared receiver is provided in each power supply bin, and the mobile power supply includes a first infrared transmitter. When the mobile power supply is inserted into the power supply bin, the infrared receiver can receive the first infrared signal emitted by the first infrared transmitter, and obtain the electrical signal output by the infrared receiver based on the received first infrared signal. The first infrared signal is emitted by the first infrared transmitter controlled by the device information of the mobile power supply; the electrical signal is processed to obtain the device information transmitted by the mobile power supply. By processing the received electrical signal, the device information of the mobile power supply can be accurately obtained.

[0077] In some embodiments, after the server receives the device information, it verifies the device information with the target device information in the rental order. If the information verification passes, the rental order is settled. The mobile power supply return service can be efficiently processed.
