Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of intelligent sharing technology, and in particular to a battery moisture treatment system, method and rental cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] With the booming development of the sharing economy, various shared rental equipment has emerged. Underwater propulsion rental cabinets are a type of shared rental equipment that has gradually emerged in recent years due to the growing demand for underwater activities. They mainly serve water sports and scientific research activities such as snorkeling, scuba diving, underwater photography, and underwater scientific research. They are usually placed at the beach, near swimming pools, or in diving centers for convenient rental by users at any time. In the underwater propulsion rental business, the underwater propulsion battery is rented separately. After the user returns the battery to the battery compartment, the compartment needs to recharge the underwater propulsion battery. However, because underwater propulsion batteries often contain residual moisture, it can seriously affect the lifespan of the underwater propulsion battery, leading to decreased performance, accelerated aging, and even safety hazards.

[0016] Each humidity sensor is used to collect real-time surface humidity data and real-time ambient humidity data of the underwater thruster battery and output them to the control unit inside the tank;

[0017] The control unit inside the tank is used to determine whether the underwater thruster battery meets the dewatering condition based on the real-time surface humidity data and real-time ambient humidity data collected by the moisture detection unit. If the real-time surface humidity data and / or real-time ambient humidity data are not lower than the first humidity threshold, the underwater thruster battery meets the recharging condition.

[0018] Optionally, the in-tank control unit is used to determine the real-time operating parameters of the air-heat dewatering unit based on real-time moisture detection data, and control the air-heat dewatering unit to perform air-heat dewatering treatment on the underwater propulsion battery based on the real-time operating parameters.

[0020] A blower is used to output airflow;

[0021] The heating component is used to heat the airflow output by the blower to form hot air, which is then blown through the air duct to the underwater propulsion battery for wind-heat dewatering treatment.

[0022] Optionally, each battery compartment is also equipped with a water vapor venting unit;

[0028] Based on the real-time moisture detection data collected by the moisture detection unit, when it is determined that the underwater thruster battery meets the dehydration conditions, the air-heat dehydration unit inside the battery compartment is activated to perform air-heat dehydration treatment on the underwater thruster battery. This process continues until the real-time moisture detection data collected by the moisture detection unit determines that the underwater thruster battery meets the recharging conditions, at which point the air-heat dehydration unit inside the battery compartment is shut down.

[0029] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0030] This application, by installing an in-cell control unit, a battery sensing unit, a moisture detection unit, and a hot-air dehydration unit inside each battery compartment, enables the in-cell control unit to activate the battery sensing unit to collect real-time equipment sensing data within the battery compartment.

When the real-time moisture detection data determines that the underwater thruster battery meets the dehydration conditions, the hot-air dehydration unit is activated to perform hot-air dehydration treatment on the underwater thruster battery. This process continues until the real-time moisture detection data determines that the underwater thruster battery meets the recharging conditions, at which point the hot-air dehydration unit is shut down. This achieves the removal of residual moisture from the underwater thruster battery, ensuring that the underwater thruster battery can be recharged in a suitable environment. This improves the safety of underwater thruster battery recharging, extends the service life of the underwater thruster battery, and guarantees the sustainable use of the underwater thruster battery.

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] This application provides a battery moisture treatment system applied to an underwater thruster rental cabinet. The rental cabinet has multiple battery compartments, each for storing underwater thruster batteries; wherein, see reference. Figure 1 As shown, the battery moisture treatment system includes a battery moisture treatment subsystem installed inside each battery compartment. Each battery moisture treatment subsystem includes an in-compartment control unit, a battery sensing unit, a moisture detection unit, and a hot air dehumidification unit.

[0038] The control unit inside the battery compartment is used to activate the battery sensing unit inside the battery compartment to collect real-time equipment sensing data when it detects that the battery compartment meets the entry sensing conditions. Based on the real-time equipment sensing data collected by the battery sensing unit, if it is determined that there are underwater thruster batteries stored in the battery compartment, it activates the moisture detection unit inside the battery compartment to collect real-time moisture detection data of the underwater thruster batteries. Based on the real-time moisture detection data collected by the moisture detection unit, if it is determined that the underwater thruster batteries meet the dehydration conditions, it activates the air-heat dehydration unit inside the battery compartment to perform air-heat dehydration treatment on the underwater thruster batteries. The air-heat dehydration unit inside the battery compartment is shut down when the real-time moisture detection data collected by the moisture detection unit determines that the underwater thruster batteries meet the recharging conditions.

[0039] The battery sensing unit is used to collect real-time device sensing data within the battery compartment where it is located and output it to the control unit inside the compartment.

[0040] The moisture detection unit is used to collect real-time moisture detection data of the underwater thruster batteries in its own battery compartment and output it to the control unit inside the compartment.

[0041] The air-heat dewatering unit is used to perform air-heat dewatering treatment on the underwater propulsion batteries inside its own battery compartment.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the control unit inside the battery compartment senses that the underwater thruster battery has been placed in the battery compartment based on the real-time equipment sensing data collected by the battery sensing unit, it first activates the moisture detection unit to detect the moisture content of the underwater thruster battery. Based on the real-time moisture detection data collected by the moisture detection unit, if it is determined that the moisture content of the underwater thruster battery is within the normal range, the battery charging program is directly activated. If it is determined that the moisture content of the underwater thruster battery is not within the normal range, that is, if residual moisture is detected on the surface of the underwater thruster battery, the operating parameters of the air-heat dehydration unit are determined according to the moisture content, and the air-heat dehydration unit is activated to perform air-heat dehydration. This ensures that the underwater thruster battery can be charged in a dry environment and maintains the health of the underwater thruster battery.

[0043] In one possible implementation, each underwater thruster battery is equipped with an electronic tag; the battery sensing unit inside each battery compartment includes an electronic tag reader and a device feature collector.

[0044] The in-bay control unit is used to activate the equipment feature collector inside the battery bay to collect real-time equipment feature data and the electronic tag reader inside the battery bay to read real-time equipment description data when it detects that the battery bay it is in meets the entry sensing conditions; based on the real-time equipment feature data and real-time equipment description data, when it is determined that there are underwater thruster batteries stored in the battery bay, it activates the moisture detection unit inside the battery bay to collect real-time moisture detection data of the underwater thruster batteries.

[0045] The device feature collector is used to collect real-time device feature data within the battery compartment where it is located and output it to the control unit inside the compartment.

[0046] The electronic tag reader is used to read real-time device description data within the battery compartment where it is located and output it to the control unit inside the compartment.

[0047] In this embodiment, the device feature collector includes at least one of an ultrasonic sensor, a millimeter-wave radar sensor, a ToF camera, and a laser rangefinder; the electronic tag includes an RFID tag or a QR code, and the electronic tag reader includes an RFID reader or a QR code scanner. In one embodiment, when the in-facility control unit detects that the battery compartment it is in meets the entry sensing conditions, it activates the device feature collector inside the battery compartment to collect real-time device feature data and activates the electronic tag reader inside the battery compartment to read real-time device description data. In another embodiment, when the in-facility control unit detects that the battery compartment it is in meets the entry sensing conditions, it activates the device feature collector inside the battery compartment to collect real-time device feature data; based on the real-time device feature data, when it is determined that there is shared rental equipment stored in the battery compartment, it activates the electronic tag reader inside the battery compartment to read real-time device description data.

[0048] In one possible implementation, the moisture detection unit inside each battery compartment includes humidity sensors located at different positions;

[0049] Each humidity sensor is used to collect real-time surface humidity data and real-time ambient humidity data of the underwater thruster battery and output them to the control unit inside the tank;

[0050] The control unit inside the tank is used to determine whether the underwater thruster battery meets the dewatering condition based on the real-time surface humidity data and real-time ambient humidity data collected by the moisture detection unit. If the real-time surface humidity data and / or real-time ambient humidity data are not lower than the first humidity threshold, the underwater thruster battery meets the recharging condition.

[0051] In this embodiment, humidity sensors are installed at different locations inside the battery compartment, such as around and at the bottom of the battery placement area. These sensors can monitor the surface moisture content of the underwater thruster battery and its surrounding environment in real time, accurately detecting whether there is residual moisture and the specific degree of moisture. When the underwater thruster battery is placed in the compartment, the humidity sensors are immediately activated, converting real-time surface humidity data and real-time ambient humidity data into electrical signals and transmitting them to the control unit inside the compartment. Based on the real-time surface humidity data and real-time ambient humidity data, the control unit inside the compartment determines that the underwater thruster battery meets the dehydration conditions if the real-time surface humidity data and / or real-time ambient humidity data are not lower than a first humidity threshold, and that the underwater thruster battery meets the recharging conditions if the real-time surface humidity data and real-time ambient humidity data are not higher than a second humidity threshold. This ensures that the underwater thruster battery can be recharged in a dry environment, maintaining the health of the underwater thruster battery.

[0052] In one possible implementation, the air-heat dewatering unit inside each battery compartment includes a blower and a heating component disposed between the blower's air outlet and the air duct.

[0053] A blower is used to output airflow;

[0054] The heating component is used to heat the airflow output by the blower to form hot air, which is then blown through the air duct to the underwater propulsion battery for wind-heat dewatering treatment.

[0055] In this embodiment, the air-heat dehydration unit includes a small blower and a heating component. The blower generates a continuous and stable airflow, and the heating component heats the airflow to a suitable temperature, forming hot air that is evenly blown onto the battery surface (generally around 40-60 degrees Celsius; the specific temperature can be determined based on the battery material and actual testing). The moisture detection unit operates continuously after startup, providing real-time feedback of moisture detection data. Based on this real-time moisture detection data, the in-tank control unit determines the real-time operating parameters of the air-heat dehydration unit and, based on these parameters, controls the unit to perform air-heat dehydration treatment on the underwater propulsion battery. Thus, by dynamically adjusting the real-time operating parameters of the air-heat dehydration unit—that is, dynamically adjusting the blower speed and the heating component power—based on the real-time moisture detection data collected by the moisture detection unit, the in-tank control unit can improve the air-heat dehydration effect. For example, when the moisture content is high, the blower operates at maximum speed and the heating element outputs high power for strong dewatering; when the moisture content is moderate, the blower speed and the heating element power are reduced to effectively remove water while avoiding excessive equipment wear; when the moisture content is low, the blower operates at low speed and the heating element operates at low power for gentle dewatering; when the moisture content reaches the safety standard, the blower and heating element are shut off, and the airflow output by the blower is heated by the heating element to form hot air, which is then blown through the air duct to the underwater thruster battery, thus achieving the air-heat dewatering treatment of the underwater thruster battery.

[0056] In one possible implementation, a temperature detection unit is also provided inside each battery compartment;

[0057] The temperature detection unit is located on the top of the battery compartment and is used to collect real-time surface temperature data of the underwater thruster battery.

[0058] The in-tank control unit is used to dynamically adjust the operating power of the heating components based on the battery type of the underwater thruster battery, real-time surface temperature data, real-time surface humidity data, and real-time ambient humidity data.

[0059] In this embodiment, the temperature detection unit can be an infrared temperature sensor. The infrared temperature sensor collects the real-time surface temperature of the underwater thruster battery. The control unit inside the tank dynamically adjusts the power of the heating component based on the battery type, real-time surface temperature, real-time surface humidity data, and real-time ambient humidity data of the underwater thruster battery, which can prevent overheating damage to the underwater thruster battery.

[0060] In one possible implementation, the air-heat dewatering unit inside each battery compartment further includes at least one elastic scraper fixed to the inner sidewall of the battery compartment along the battery insertion / removal path, and a bypass ventilation channel disposed at the root of the elastic scraper; wherein, the root of the elastic scraper is fixed to the inner sidewall of the battery compartment, and the free end is at a set angle (e.g., 30°) to lightly touch the surface of the underwater thruster battery, for mechanically scraping off free water from the surface of the underwater thruster battery when it enters the compartment; the bypass ventilation channel is connected to the air duct of the blower, specifically... A three-way valve is installed between the blower's air outlet and the heating component. The three-way valve splits the blower's air duct into a main air duct and a bypass ventilation knife channel. The bypass ventilation knife channel is 1 / 4 to 1 / 3 of the blower's air duct, and its end is a continuous slit of 0.5–1 mm. The slit length is greater than or equal to the battery width. The slit outlet is aligned with the root of the elastic scraper and forms a slit nozzle at a 15–30° angle to the surface of the underwater thruster battery. This nozzle is used to output a high-speed airflow to blow the water scraped off by the elastic scraper towards the water collection tank at the bottom of the drying area inside the battery compartment for discharge outside the battery compartment.

[0061] In this embodiment, the control unit inside the tank determines, based on real-time moisture detection data collected by the moisture detection unit, that the real-time surface humidity data and / or real-time ambient humidity data are not lower than a first humidity threshold. Upon reaching this threshold, it enters the initial water-scraping stage. During this stage, the elastic scraper contacts the surface of the underwater propulsion battery and scrapes off free water droplets. Simultaneously, the three-way valve switches to the bypass ventilation knife channel, and the blower operates at the lowest wind speed to blow the scraped-off free water droplets into the water collection tank through the bypass ventilation knife channel. The heating components remain off. Further, based on the real-time moisture detection data collected by the moisture detection unit, if the real-time surface humidity data and real-time ambient humidity data are not higher than a third humidity threshold (wherein the third humidity threshold is less than the first humidity threshold but greater than the second humidity threshold), the control unit... Entering the hot air drying stage, the bypass ventilation knife channel is closed and switched to the main air duct by controlling the three-way valve. At the same time, the heating component is started. Based on the real-time moisture detection data collected by the moisture detection unit, the blower speed and heating component power are dynamically adjusted (the same as the aforementioned dynamic adjustment method, and repeated parts will not be repeated). When it is determined that the real-time surface humidity data and real-time ambient humidity data collected by the moisture detection unit are not higher than the second humidity threshold and have been maintained for a first set time (e.g., 30s), the heating component and blower are turned off to complete the hot air dehumidification treatment. Specifically, the heating component can be turned off first, and the blower can be turned off after a second set time (e.g., 2s) to prevent residual heat accumulation and reduce energy consumption.

[0062] In one possible implementation, each battery compartment is also equipped with a water vapor discharge unit.

[0063] The water vapor discharge unit is used to discharge the water vapor generated by the air-heat dehydration unit during the air-heat dehydration process from the battery compartment.

[0064] In this embodiment, the airflow of the blower can also play a purging role, expelling the moisture removed by the air-heat dehydration unit and the evaporated water vapor from the battery compartment through the water vapor discharge unit, preventing secondary condensation, avoiding water vapor circulation in the battery compartment, ensuring a dry environment in the battery compartment, and improving the air-heat dehydration effect.

[0065] In one possible implementation, the moisture discharge unit includes a dehumidification vent disposed on the top wall of the battery compartment, a miniature exhaust fan mounted on the outside of the dehumidification vent with its air intake facing the inside of the battery compartment and its air outlet facing the outside of the battery compartment, and a one-way valve / duckbill valve disposed on the outside of the air outlet of the miniature exhaust fan to prevent backflow of external moisture; and an in-compartment control unit for activating the miniature exhaust fan to discharge moisture in the battery compartment through the dehumidification vent after the air-heat dehumidification unit is shut down.

[0066] In one embodiment of this application, the in-cell control unit can control the micro exhaust fan to continuously exhaust air for a set duration (obtained through experimental calibration, for example, 2–10 seconds) to completely expel the moisture in the battery compartment through the exhaust vent. In another embodiment, the in-cell control unit can also control the micro exhaust fan to shut down when the real-time surface humidity data and real-time ambient humidity data collected by the moisture detection unit are not higher than a second humidity threshold, based on the real-time moisture detection data collected by the moisture detection unit, so that the moisture in the battery compartment can be completely expelled through the exhaust vent.

[0067] In one possible implementation, the water vapor discharge unit further includes a filter screen disposed inside the air intake of the miniature exhaust fan, which may be a stainless steel wire mesh.

[0068] In this embodiment, by setting a filter screen inside the air intake of the miniature exhaust fan, insects and sand can be prevented. In this way, by embedding the filter screen in the groove inside the air intake of the miniature exhaust fan and installing a one-way valve plate on the outside of the air outlet of the miniature exhaust fan, the three can be tightly stacked in sequence along the dehumidification direction and threaded together to the dehumidification air outlet on the top wall of the battery compartment, thereby forming a water and air exhaust unit that can be disassembled as a whole, preventing backflow, preventing insects and sand, and allowing for quick disassembly.

[0069] In one possible implementation, each battery compartment is also equipped with a condensation recovery unit, which includes a semiconductor cooling chip and a water collection box. The top of the battery compartment has a double-layer structure, with the semiconductor cooling chip (i.e., the cold side) attached to the lower aluminum plate. The condensation surface is located below the semiconductor cooling chip. The upper cavity is a mixing chamber. Liquid water dripping from the condensation surface flows down the slope into the water collection box. A dehumidification vent is provided on the side wall of the mixing chamber. A miniature exhaust fan and a one-way valve / duckbill valve are provided on the outside of the dehumidification vent.

[0070] In this embodiment, during the initial water-scraping stage of the elastic scraper, blower, and bypass ventilation knife channel, the control unit inside the compartment controls the semiconductor cooling chip to start in advance for a set time (e.g., 2s) to cool the cold surface to a set condensation temperature (e.g., 10–15°C) to prevent free water droplets from evaporating again in the mixing chamber. During the hot air drying stage of the blower, heating components, and main air duct, the semiconductor cooling chip is controlled to continue running to continuously capture evaporated water vapor. When the real-time surface humidity data and real-time ambient humidity data collected by the moisture detection unit are not higher than the second humidity threshold and remain so for a first set time (e.g., 30s), and the liquid level collected by the liquid level sensor in the water collection box does not reach the liquid level threshold (e.g., 80%), the semiconductor cooling chip is turned off, and after a third set time delay (e.g., 2s), a micro exhaust fan is started to draw the residual uncondensed moisture in the mixing chamber and the vapor evaporated from the liquid surface of the water collection box to the outside of the cabinet to keep the internal environment of the battery compartment dry. During this process, if the liquid level sensor in the water collection box detects that the liquid level has reached the liquid level threshold (e.g., 80%), the miniature exhaust fan will be activated immediately to forcefully expel the high-humidity air from the water collection box, preventing the liquid surface from continuing to evaporate and causing secondary humidification.

[0071] In addition, this application also provides an underwater thruster rental cabinet, see reference. Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the underwater thruster rental cabinet includes multiple battery compartments and the aforementioned battery moisture treatment system.

[0072] In one possible implementation, see [reference] Figure 2 As shown, the underwater thruster rental cabinet is also equipped with a central processing unit, which is connected to the control unit inside each battery compartment; each battery compartment is equipped with a door and a door lock switch sensor.

[0073] The central processing unit is used to respond to the return operation performed on the human-machine interface, determine the battery compartment to be put into the compartment from multiple battery compartments, and issue an entry command to the compartment control unit inside the battery compartment to be put into the compartment.

[0074] The in-bay control unit is used to control the opening of the door of the battery compartment it is in when it receives the entry command issued by the central processing unit, and to determine that the battery compartment it is in meets the entry sensing conditions when it receives the real-time opening sensing signal from the door lock switch sensor.

[0075] In this implementation, users can perform return operations through a human-machine interface, such as selecting the type of rental equipment to be returned or entering a rental order number. The central processing unit can then determine the type of rental equipment to be returned or the rental order number based on the user's return operation on the human-machine interface. Based on the type of rental equipment to be returned or the rental order number, and considering the types of rental equipment stored in multiple battery compartments and the current storage status (empty or full) of multiple battery compartments, the unit identifies the battery compartment to be placed in. It then sends an entry command to the terminal processing unit inside that battery compartment, triggering the terminal processing unit to open the door of its own battery compartment. Upon receiving a real-time opening signal from the door lock sensor, the unit activates the equipment sensing sensors and electronic tag readers inside the battery compartment for equipment detection. This guides users to place the rental equipment to be returned into the designated battery compartment, effectively preventing users from randomly placing the equipment and reducing the difficulty of identifying underwater thruster batteries.

[0076] In one possible implementation, the in-tank control unit is further configured to record a water treatment log during each water treatment process and bind it to the unique identifier of the underwater thruster battery before reporting it to the central processing unit. The central processing unit is further configured to compare the log data of each health measurement indicator in the water treatment log with the historical distribution data of each health measurement indicator of the same model of underwater thruster battery. If the log data of any health measurement indicator deviates from the historical distribution data of that health measurement indicator, it is determined that the health status of the underwater thruster battery is abnormal, and its leasing strategy is automatically adjusted or a maintenance work order is generated. The water treatment log includes at least the entry time, real-time surface humidity data, real-time ambient humidity data, water treatment duration, battery surface temperature control curve, and water output weight (collected by the condensation recovery unit), etc., and the unique identifier includes real-time equipment description data read by the electronic tag reader.

[0077] In this embodiment, the water treatment log is recorded by the in-tank control unit and bound to the unique identifier of the underwater propulsion battery before being reported to the central processing unit for health status analysis. This enables timely detection of underwater propulsion battery abnormalities for timely repair or accountability, thereby improving the timeliness of battery repair or accountability.

[0078] Based on the above embodiments, this application provides a battery moisture treatment method, applied to the in-cell control unit of the battery moisture treatment system described above. (See attached document.) Figure 3 As shown, the general flow of the battery moisture treatment method provided in this application embodiment is as follows:

[0079] Step 301: When the battery compartment where the device is located meets the entry sensing conditions, the battery sensing unit inside the battery compartment is activated to collect real-time device sensing data inside the battery compartment.

[0080] Step 302: Based on the real-time device sensing data collected by the battery sensing unit, when it is determined that there is an underwater thruster battery in the battery compartment, the moisture detection unit inside the battery compartment is activated to collect real-time moisture detection data of the underwater thruster battery.

[0081] Step 303: Based on the real-time moisture detection data collected by the moisture detection unit, when it is determined that the underwater thruster battery meets the dewatering conditions, start the air-heat dewatering unit inside the battery compartment to perform air-heat dewatering treatment on the underwater thruster battery, until the real-time moisture detection data collected by the moisture detection unit determines that the underwater thruster battery meets the recharging conditions, then shut down the air-heat dewatering unit inside the battery compartment.

[0082] In this embodiment, by setting up an in-cell control unit, a battery sensing unit, a moisture detection unit, and a hot-air dehydration unit inside each battery compartment, the in-cell control unit can activate the battery sensing unit to collect real-time device sensing data within the battery compartment. When the real-time device sensing data determines that an underwater thruster battery is stored in the battery compartment, the moisture detection unit is activated to collect real-time moisture detection data of the underwater thruster battery. When the real-time moisture detection data determines that the underwater thruster battery meets the dehydration conditions, the hot-air dehydration unit is activated to perform hot-air dehydration treatment on the underwater thruster battery. This process continues until the real-time moisture detection data determines that the underwater thruster battery meets the recharging conditions, at which point the hot-air dehydration unit is shut down. This achieves the removal of residual moisture from the underwater thruster battery, ensuring that the underwater thruster battery can be recharged in a suitable environment. This improves the safety of underwater thruster battery recharging, extends the service life of the underwater thruster battery, and guarantees the sustainable use of the underwater thruster battery.
