[0036] Energy storage devices are being used more and more widely. For example, they can serve as portable outdoor power sources to provide energy to electrical equipment. Furthermore, energy storage devices can interact with end devices, enabling control of the devices.

[0037] The limitation of this technology is that it can only monitor a single energy storage device.

[0038] Based on this, this application proposes to utilize hub interconnection technology to enable at least two energy storage devices on a hub to share data. This allows a terminal device to obtain data information from all energy storage devices on the hub through the energy storage device it communicates with. This enables the terminal device to monitor and conveniently control the combined energy storage devices connected to the hub, and increases the interaction methods between the terminal device and the energy storage devices, improving the efficiency of the terminal device in obtaining data from the energy storage devices. See any of the following embodiments for details.

[0039] See Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the energy storage system provided in this application. The energy storage system 100 includes a terminal device 10, a hub 20, a first energy storage device A, and a second energy storage device B. The first energy storage device A and the second energy storage device B are respectively coupled to the hub 20 and interact with each other through the hub 20. The first energy storage device A and the second energy storage device B are configured to communicate with the terminal device 10. The hub 20 is configured to communicate with the terminal device 10.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first energy storage device A and the second energy storage device B can be outdoor mobile power supplies or indoor power supplies. Each energy storage device can be a different model or the same model; there is no limitation on this.

[0041] In some embodiments, the hub 20 can parallelize several energy storage devices, and the hub 20 can connect to a load, using the paralleled energy storage devices to provide energy to the load. Specifically, the hub 20 can dynamically adjust the power supply mode of the energy storage devices on the hub 20 according to the load power supply configuration information sent by the terminal device 10. In some embodiments, the hub 20 is communicatively connected to the terminal device 10 and receives the load power supply configuration information sent by the terminal device 10.

[0042] In some embodiments, the terminal device 10 may be a mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone, tablet computer, or other device with a display interface and operability. The energy storage device can establish a communication connection with the terminal device 10 via wireless, Bluetooth, or other communication modules. That is, the first energy storage device A and / or the second energy storage device B can establish a communication connection with the terminal device 10 via wireless, Bluetooth, or other communication modules.

[0043] In some embodiments, terminal device 10 may be a terminal device such as a personal computer.

[0044] The specific interaction methods in the energy storage system 100 can be found in any of the following embodiments.

[0045] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the interaction method for an energy storage device provided in this application. The method of this embodiment is applied to the terminal device 10 in the aforementioned energy storage system 100. The method includes:

[0046] Step 21: In response to the communication connection with the first energy storage device and / or the second energy storage device, the terminal device receives data information from all energy storage devices connected to the hub sent by the first energy storage device and / or the second energy storage device.

[0047] In some embodiments, when a hub is equipped with several energy storage devices, and one energy storage device is communicatively connected to a terminal device, the terminal device can interact with that energy storage device. For example, if a first energy storage device is communicatively connected to the terminal device, the terminal device can interact with the first energy storage device. Similarly, if a second energy storage device is communicatively connected to the terminal device, the terminal device can interact with the second energy storage device. Furthermore, if both the first and second energy storage devices are communicatively connected to the terminal device, the terminal device can interact with both the first and second energy storage devices.

[0048] From the hub's perspective, when multiple energy storage devices are mounted on a hub, the hub can acquire data from each device, such as at least one piece of information including serial number (SN), input power, output power, remaining capacity, battery temperature, fault information, and OTA (Over-The-Air) upgrade information. This data is then shared, allowing each energy storage device to access not only its own data but also the data from other devices. For example, the first energy storage device on the hub can access the data from the second energy storage device through the hub, and vice versa.

[0049] Based on this, when the terminal device can interact with the energy storage device (the first energy storage device and / or the second energy storage device), each energy storage device can send data information of all energy storage devices connected to the hub to the terminal device, enabling the terminal device to quickly obtain data information of all energy storage devices. Even if some energy storage devices on the hub are not connected to the terminal device, the terminal device can still obtain their data information, improving the coverage of data acquisition by the terminal device, so that the terminal device can obtain more data information of energy storage devices.

[0050] The data information includes at least one of the following: total AC output power, total DC output power, remaining usage time, first fault information, first OTA upgrade, and SN code, input power, output power, remaining power, battery temperature, second fault information, and second OTA upgrade for each energy storage device.

[0051] Step 22: The terminal device responds to the viewing command and displays the data information of the first energy storage device, the second energy storage device, and / or the hub corresponding to the viewing command.

[0052] In some embodiments, the terminal device can display data information of numerous energy storage devices communicatively connected to it. For example, the terminal device can display abbreviated data information of the energy storage devices in the form of cards. For instance, the terminal device can form a combined card for all energy storage devices on a hub. The combined card displays the hub identifier and the energy storage device identifiers on the hub. In some embodiments, the combined card can also display a small amount of energy storage device data, such as current power level and communication method. In response to an energy storage device identifier being clicked (view operation), the terminal device displays the data information of the energy storage device corresponding to the clicked energy storage device identifier.

[0053] In some embodiments, the terminal device can communicate not only with energy storage devices on the hub, but also with a single energy storage device. (Combined) Figure 3 Explanation:

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, the first energy storage device A and the second energy storage device B are coupled to the hub 20 and communicate with the terminal device 10. The third energy storage device C is a single energy storage device and communicates with the terminal device 10. That is, the terminal device 10 can set up a combined card for the first energy storage device A, the second energy storage device B and the hub 20, and set up a single card for the third energy storage device C.

[0055] In this embodiment, the interconnection technology of the hub enables at least two energy storage devices on the hub to share data. This allows the terminal device to obtain data information from all energy storage devices on the hub through the energy storage device it communicates with. This enables the terminal device to monitor and control the combined energy storage devices connected to the hub, and also increases the interaction methods between the terminal device and the energy storage device, improving the efficiency of the terminal device in obtaining data from the energy storage device.

[0056] See Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating another embodiment of the interaction method for the energy storage device provided in this application. The method of this embodiment is applied to the terminal device 10 in the aforementioned energy storage system 100. The method includes:

[0057] Step 41: The terminal device responds to the fault viewing command by sending the fault viewing command to the first energy storage device, so that the first energy storage device executes the fault viewing command.

[0058] In some embodiments, a corresponding fault viewing control can be set on the card corresponding to the energy storage device displayed on the terminal device. The terminal device generates a fault viewing command in response to the selection of the fault viewing control.

[0059] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1The terminal device 10 can set up combination cards for the first energy storage device A, the second energy storage device B, and the hub 20. The combination cards have corresponding identifiers for the first energy storage device A, the second energy storage device B, and the hub 20. Users can select the corresponding device according to the identifier to check for faults.

[0060] In some embodiments, the fault viewing command generated by the terminal device can view only one energy storage device. For example, if the terminal device needs to view the fault information of the first energy storage device, it will send the generated fault viewing command to the first energy storage device so that the first energy storage device can execute the fault viewing command.

[0061] In other embodiments, the fault viewing command generated by the terminal device can view multiple energy storage devices. These energy storage devices can be those that have established a communication connection with the terminal device. For example, the terminal device generates a corresponding fault viewing command for each online energy storage device, and then sends the fault viewing command to the corresponding energy storage device.

[0062] In some embodiments, the state of an energy storage device that establishes a communication connection with a terminal device in the terminal device can be defined as an online state.

[0063] Step 42: The terminal device receives the feedback fault information through the first energy storage device.

[0064] After receiving the fault inspection information, the first energy storage device obtains its own fault information and feeds it back to the terminal device.

[0065] In some embodiments, the first energy storage device can send a fault viewing command to all energy storage devices on the hub via a hub, so as to obtain fault information of all energy storage devices on the hub and feed it back to the terminal device. The fault information of each energy storage device can be associated with a corresponding energy storage device identifier, so that the terminal device can quickly match the energy storage device identifier on the combination card and quickly display the fault information.

[0066] In this embodiment, the interconnection technology of the hub enables at least two energy storage devices on the hub to share data. This allows the terminal device to obtain data information from all energy storage devices on the hub through the energy storage device it communicates with. This enables the terminal device to monitor and control the combined energy storage devices connected to the hub, and also increases the interaction methods between the terminal device and the energy storage device, improving the efficiency of the terminal device in obtaining data from the energy storage device.

[0067] Furthermore, the terminal device can quickly obtain fault information fed back by the energy storage device by interacting with the first energy storage device.

[0068] See Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating another embodiment of the interaction method for the energy storage device provided in this application. The method of this embodiment is applied to the terminal device 10 in the aforementioned energy storage system 100. The method includes:

[0069] Step 51: In response to the fault viewing command, the terminal device sends the fault viewing command to the first energy storage device, so that the first energy storage device forwards the fault viewing command to the second energy storage device through the hub.

[0070] In some embodiments, a corresponding fault viewing control can be set on the card corresponding to the energy storage device on the terminal device. In response to the fault viewing control being selected, the terminal device generates at least one fault viewing instruction.

[0071] Step 52: The terminal device receives the feedback fault information through the first energy storage device.

[0072] In one application scenario, combined Figure 6 Explanation:

[0073] The second energy storage device B is offline on the combination card displayed on the terminal device, possibly indicating a malfunction. Therefore, the user can forward the fault viewing command through the online first energy storage device A. Specifically, first energy storage device A sends the fault viewing command to second energy storage device B via a hub. Second energy storage device B generates corresponding report data based on the fault viewing command and then sends the report data back to first energy storage device A via the hub. First energy storage device A then sends the report data to the terminal device for viewing.

[0074] In some embodiments, the second energy storage device B on the combination card displayed on the terminal device is in an offline state. It can actively acquire report data according to a preset period and then send the report data to the first energy storage device A through a hub. The first energy storage device A sends the report data to the terminal device for the terminal device to view.

[0075] In this embodiment, the interconnection technology of the hub enables at least two energy storage devices on the hub to share data. This allows the terminal device to obtain data information from all energy storage devices on the hub through the energy storage device it communicates with. This enables the terminal device to monitor and control the combined energy storage devices connected to the hub, and also increases the interaction methods between the terminal device and the energy storage device, improving the efficiency of the terminal device in obtaining data from the energy storage device.

[0076] Furthermore, terminal devices can utilize hub interconnection technology to quickly obtain fault information from other energy storage devices by interacting with one energy storage device.

[0077] See Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a flowchart illustrating another embodiment of the interaction method for the energy storage device provided in this application. The method of this embodiment is applied to the terminal device 10 in the aforementioned energy storage system 100. The method includes:

[0078] Step 71: In response to the fault viewing command, the terminal device sends the fault viewing command to the first energy storage device so that at least one energy storage device executes the fault viewing command and forwards the fault viewing command to the second energy storage device through the hub.

[0079] In some embodiments, to simplify user operation on the terminal device, a one-click operation can be implemented. For example, a one-click fault viewing control can be set on a combination card displayed on the terminal device. In response to the selection of the one-click fault viewing control, the terminal device generates fault viewing instructions for all energy storage devices on the combination card. The terminal device then sends these fault viewing instructions to an online energy storage device, causing the online energy storage device to execute its corresponding fault viewing instruction, and the online energy storage device forwards the remaining fault viewing instructions to the corresponding target energy storage device via a hub. For example, if the first energy storage device is online, the terminal device sends fault viewing instructions to the first energy storage device, causing at least one energy storage device to execute the fault viewing instruction, and forwards the fault viewing instructions to a second energy storage device via a hub.

[0080] Step 72: The terminal device receives the feedback fault information through the first energy storage device.

[0081] Online energy storage devices collect fault information from all energy storage devices through a hub and then send it to the terminal devices for viewing.

[0082] In this embodiment, the interconnection technology of the hub enables at least two energy storage devices on the hub to share data. This allows the terminal device to obtain data information from all energy storage devices on the hub through the energy storage device it communicates with. This enables the terminal device to monitor and control the combined energy storage devices connected to the hub, and also increases the interaction methods between the terminal device and the energy storage device, improving the efficiency of the terminal device in obtaining data from the energy storage device.

[0083] Furthermore, terminal devices can utilize hub interconnection technology to quickly obtain fault information from other energy storage devices by interacting with one energy storage device.

[0084] In other embodiments, the terminal device generates a fault viewing instruction in response to the fault viewing operation; the terminal device sends the fault viewing instruction to the hub, which forwards it to the first energy storage device, and then the hub feeds back the fault information of the first energy storage device to the terminal device.

[0085] In other embodiments, the terminal device generates a fault viewing instruction in response to the fault viewing operation; the terminal device sends the fault viewing instruction to the hub, which forwards it to the second energy storage device, and then the hub feeds back the fault information of the second energy storage device to the terminal device.

[0086] In other embodiments, the terminal device generates a fault viewing instruction in response to the fault viewing operation; the terminal device sends the fault viewing instruction to the hub, which forwards it to the first energy storage device and the second energy storage device, and then the hub feeds back the fault information of the first energy storage device and the second energy storage device to the terminal device.

[0087] See Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a flowchart illustrating another embodiment of the interaction method for the energy storage device provided in this application. The method of this embodiment is applied to the terminal device 10 in the aforementioned energy storage system 100. The method includes:

[0088] Step 81: In response to the control command, the terminal device sends the control command to the first energy storage device so that the first energy storage device executes the control command, and / or forwards the control command to the second energy storage device through the hub.

[0089] In some embodiments, the control instructions include at least one of a connection instruction, a binding instruction, and a release instruction.

[0090] In one application scenario, control commands include connection commands; the terminal device sends the connection command to the first energy storage device, which then forwards the connection command to the second energy storage device via a hub, thereby causing the second energy storage device to execute the connection command and establish a communication connection with the terminal device. Combined with... Figure 6 and Figure 9 Explanation:

[0091] like Figure 6 As shown, the second energy storage device B on the combination card displayed on the terminal device is in an offline state. Therefore, the user can forward the connection command through the first energy storage device A, which is in an online state. That is, the first energy storage device A sends the connection command to the second energy storage device B through the hub. The second energy storage device B activates its communication module according to the connection command and establishes a communication connection with the terminal device. After establishing a communication connection with the terminal device, as follows... Figure 9 As shown, the second energy storage device B on the combination card displayed on the terminal device is in an online state.

[0092] In one application scenario, the control commands include binding commands. The terminal device sends the binding command to the first energy storage device, which then forwards the binding command to the second energy storage device via a hub. The second energy storage device then executes the binding command and completes the binding with the terminal device. Combined with... Figure 10 and Figure 11 Explanation:

[0093] like Figure 10 As shown, the second energy storage device B on the combination card displayed on the terminal device is in an unbound state. Therefore, the user can forward the binding command through the first energy storage device A, which is online and bound. That is, the first energy storage device A sends the binding command to the second energy storage device B through the hub. The second energy storage device B establishes a binding relationship with the terminal device according to the binding command. After the binding relationship with the terminal device is established, as shown... Figure 11 As shown, the second energy storage device B is in a bound state on the combination card displayed on the terminal device. After the second energy storage device B completes the binding relationship with the terminal device, when the insertion of the second energy storage device B into the hub is detected, a combination card of the second energy storage device B and the first energy storage device A is quickly formed on the terminal device.

[0094] In one application scenario, the control commands include a release command. The terminal device sends the release command to the first energy storage device, causing the first energy storage device to execute the release command, and / or forwards the release command through a hub to the second energy storage device, thereby causing the second energy storage device to execute the release command and unbind from the terminal device. Combined with... Figure 10 and Figure 11 Explanation:

[0095] like Figure 11 As shown, the first energy storage device A and the second energy storage device B are bound together on the combination card displayed on the terminal device. Therefore, the user can unbind the first energy storage device A and / or the second energy storage device B from the terminal device using a release command. For example, if the binding of the second energy storage device B is released, the terminal device will then... Figure 10 As shown, the second energy storage device B on the combination card displayed on the terminal device is in an unbound state.

[0096] In some embodiments, the connection command, binding command, and release command described above can be executed simultaneously.

[0097] In some embodiments, the connection command, binding command, and release command described above can be executed sequentially. For example, the connection command can be sent first, followed by the binding command. Or, the binding command can be sent first, followed by the release command. Or, the connection command can be sent first, followed by the release command.

[0098] In one application scenario, the terminal device responds to a new command sent by the first energy storage device, receives data information from the first energy storage device regarding the newly added third energy storage device on the hub, and adds the third energy storage device to the combination details page. For example, if there are two energy storage devices (the first and second energy storage devices) on the hub, and a third energy storage device is connected to the hub, the combination details page on the terminal device will display data information for all three energy storage devices. Similarly, if there is one energy storage device on the hub, and a second energy storage device is connected to the hub, the combination details page on the terminal device will display data information for both energy storage devices. Specifically, the terminal device switches between the details pages of individual energy storage devices to create a combined details page for the two energy storage devices on the hub.

[0099] In this embodiment, the interconnection technology of the hub enables at least two energy storage devices on the hub to share data. This allows the terminal device to obtain data information from all energy storage devices on the hub through the energy storage device it communicates with. This enables the terminal device to monitor and control the combined energy storage devices connected to the hub, and also increases the interaction methods between the terminal device and the energy storage device, improving the efficiency of the terminal device in obtaining data from the energy storage device.

[0100] Furthermore, terminal devices can utilize hub interconnection technology to quickly control other energy storage devices on the hub (such as energy storage devices on the hub that are not connected to the terminal device) by interacting with one energy storage device. This enables functional sharing between energy storage devices and also allows the terminal device to quickly access data information from energy storage devices on the hub that are not connected to the terminal device.

[0101] In other embodiments, the terminal device generates a control command in response to a control operation; the terminal device sends the control command to the first energy storage device so that the first energy storage device executes the control command.

[0102] In other embodiments, the terminal device generates a control command in response to a control operation; the terminal device sends the control command to the second energy storage device so that the second energy storage device executes the control command.

[0103] In other embodiments, the terminal device generates a control command in response to a control operation; the terminal device sends the control command to a hub, which then forwards the control command to the first energy storage device so that the first energy storage device executes the control command.

[0104] In other embodiments, the terminal device generates a control command in response to a control operation; the terminal device sends the control command to a hub, which then forwards the control command to a second energy storage device so that the second energy storage device executes the control command.

[0105] In other embodiments, the terminal device generates a control command in response to a control operation; the terminal device sends the control command to a hub, which then forwards the control command to the first energy storage device and the second energy storage device, so that the first energy storage device and the second energy storage device execute the control command.

[0106] In one application scenario, the aforementioned terminal device and hub can also communicate and exchange data. Users can configure the hub's load power supply strategy on the terminal device. After configuration, the terminal device sends the load power supply configuration information to the hub. When a load is connected to a connected energy storage device, the hub dynamically adjusts the power supply mode of the first and second energy storage devices based on the load power supply configuration information. For example, if the power demand of the load connected to the hub is small, the hub can control the first and second energy storage devices to supply power to the load sequentially. For instance, after the load is connected, the first energy storage device is used to supply power to the load first; when the power in the first energy storage device is insufficient or depleted, the system switches to the second energy storage device to supply power. If there are three or more energy storage devices on the hub, this logic can be applied in a similar manner.

[0107] For example, if the load connected to the hub has a high power demand, the hub can control the first and second energy storage devices to supply power to the load together. Similarly, if the load requires a large amount of power after connection, and a single energy storage device cannot meet the demand, the hub can control both the first and second energy storage devices to supply power to the load. This logic can be applied to hubs with three or more energy storage devices. For instance, if the hub has a first, second, third, and fourth energy storage device, after a load is connected, at least two energy storage devices will be selected from these four devices to supply power to the load together, based on the load's power requirements.

[0108] This means that by connecting the load through a hub, the hub can dynamically select the power supply mode of the energy storage device according to the power demand of the load, thereby realizing the diversification of power supply for the combined energy storage device and making fuller and more reasonable use of the power supply of the energy storage device.

[0109] In some embodiments, the hub is communicatively connected to the terminal device and receives load power configuration information sent by the terminal device. In some embodiments, after receiving the load power configuration information sent by the terminal device, the hub disconnects from the terminal device to save power. When the terminal device needs to configure the hub, it can forward the connection command through the energy storage device, so that the hub can activate its communication module to re-establish communication with the terminal device and receive the configuration information sent by the terminal device.

[0110] In other embodiments, the hub and the terminal device can always communicate with each other.

[0111] See Figure 12 , Figure 12 This is a flowchart illustrating another embodiment of the interaction method for the energy storage device provided in this application. The method of this embodiment is applied to the first energy storage device A in the aforementioned energy storage system 100. The method includes:

[0112] Step 121: The first energy storage device acquires data information from all energy storage devices connected to the hub.

[0113] Each energy storage device on the hub can receive data from the other energy storage devices on the hub. If the energy storage device is connected to a terminal device, step 122 can be executed.

[0114] Step 122: The first energy storage device sends the data information of all energy storage devices to the terminal device, so that the terminal device can display the data information of the corresponding first energy storage device, second energy storage device and / or hub under the viewing command.

[0115] In this embodiment, the terminal device can generate combination cards for the energy storage devices on the hub, and the user can select a combination card to view the data information of the energy storage devices on the hub. For example, the user can select a combination card and then switch to the combination details page, which displays the data information of the energy storage devices on the hub.

[0116] In this embodiment, the interconnection technology of the hub enables several energy storage devices on the hub to share data. This allows the terminal device to obtain data information from all energy storage devices on the hub through the energy storage devices that are connected to it. This enables the terminal device to monitor and control the combined energy storage devices, and also increases the interaction methods between the terminal device and the energy storage devices, thereby improving the efficiency of the terminal device in obtaining data from the energy storage devices.

[0117] See Figure 13 , Figure 13 This is a flowchart illustrating another embodiment of the interaction method for the energy storage system provided in this application. The method of this embodiment is applied to the first energy storage device A in the aforementioned energy storage system 100. The method includes:

[0118] Step 131: The first energy storage device receives the fault inspection command sent by the terminal device.

[0119] Step 132: The first energy storage device executes the fault viewing command and / or forwards the fault viewing command to the second energy storage device through the hub.

[0120] In some embodiments, the fault viewing command sent by the terminal device is only directed to the energy storage device with which it is connected. Therefore, after receiving the fault viewing command, the energy storage device executes the fault viewing command. For example, if the first energy storage device is connected to the terminal device, then after receiving the fault viewing command sent by the terminal device, the first energy storage device directly executes the fault viewing command.

[0121] In some embodiments, the fault viewing command sent by the terminal device is only directed to the other energy storage devices on the hub. Therefore, after receiving the fault viewing command, the communicating energy storage device forwards it to the other energy storage devices via the hub. For example, if the first energy storage device is communicating with the terminal device, after receiving the fault viewing command from the terminal device, the first energy storage device forwards the command to the second energy storage device via the hub.

[0122] In some embodiments, the fault viewing command sent by the terminal device targets all energy storage devices on the hub. Therefore, upon receiving the fault viewing command, the energy storage device executes the command and forwards it to the target energy storage device via the hub. For example, if the first energy storage device is communicatively connected to the terminal device, it executes the command upon receiving it and forwards it to the second energy storage device via the hub.

[0123] Step 133: The first energy storage device sends fault information to the terminal device.

[0124] In some embodiments, the fault viewing command sent by the terminal device is only directed to the energy storage device with which it is connected. Therefore, the energy storage device sends its own fault information back to the terminal device.

[0125] In other embodiments, if the second energy storage device is also connected to the terminal device, the second energy storage device will directly send fault information to the terminal device after receiving the fault viewing instruction forwarded by the first energy storage device through the hub.

[0126] In this embodiment, the interconnection technology of the hub enables several energy storage devices on the hub to share data. This allows the terminal device to obtain data information from all energy storage devices on the hub through the energy storage devices that are connected to it. This enables the terminal device to monitor and control the combined energy storage devices, and also increases the interaction methods between the terminal device and the energy storage devices, thereby improving the efficiency of the terminal device in obtaining data from the energy storage devices.

[0127] Furthermore, terminal devices can utilize hub interconnection technology to quickly obtain fault information from other energy storage devices by interacting with one energy storage device.

[0128] See Figure 14 , Figure 14 This is a flowchart illustrating another embodiment of the interaction method for the energy storage device provided in this application. The method of this embodiment is applied to the first energy storage device A in the aforementioned energy storage system 100. The method includes:

[0129] Step 141: The first energy storage device receives the control command sent by the terminal device.

[0130] Step 142: The first energy storage device executes control commands and / or forwards the control commands to the second energy storage device via a hub.

[0131] In one application scenario, control commands include connection commands; the first energy storage device forwards the connection commands to the second energy storage device via a hub, thereby causing the second energy storage device to execute the connection commands and establish a communication connection with the terminal device. Combined with... Figure 6 and Figure 9 Explanation:

[0132] like Figure 6 As shown, the second energy storage device B on the combination card displayed on the terminal device is in an offline state. Therefore, the user can forward the connection command through the first energy storage device A, which is in an online state. That is, the first energy storage device A sends the connection command to the second energy storage device B through the hub. The second energy storage device B activates its communication module according to the connection command and establishes a communication connection with the terminal device. After establishing a communication connection with the terminal device, as follows... Figure 9 As shown, the second energy storage device B on the combination card displayed on the terminal device is in an online state.

[0133] In one application scenario, control commands include binding commands. The first energy storage device forwards the binding command to the second energy storage device via a hub, thereby causing the second energy storage device to execute the binding command and complete the binding with the terminal device. Combined with... Figure 10 and Figure 11 Explanation:

[0134] like Figure 10 As shown, the second energy storage device B on the combination card displayed on the terminal device is in an unbound state. Therefore, the user can forward the binding command through the first energy storage device A, which is online and bound. That is, the first energy storage device A sends the binding command to the second energy storage device B through the hub. The second energy storage device B establishes a binding relationship with the terminal device according to the binding command. After the binding relationship with the terminal device is established, as shown... Figure 11 As shown, the second energy storage device B is in a bound state on the combination card displayed on the terminal device. After the second energy storage device B completes the binding relationship with the terminal device, when the insertion of the second energy storage device B into the hub is detected, a combination card of the second energy storage device B and the first energy storage device A is quickly formed on the terminal device.

[0135] In one application scenario, control commands include release commands. The first energy storage device executes the release command, and / or forwards the release command to the second energy storage device via a hub, thereby causing the second energy storage device to execute the release command and unbind from the terminal device. Combined with... Figure 10 and Figure 11 Explanation:

[0136] like Figure 11 As shown, the first energy storage device A and the second energy storage device B are bound together on the combination card displayed on the terminal device. Therefore, the user can unbind the first energy storage device A and / or the second energy storage device B from the terminal device using a release command. For example, if the binding of the second energy storage device B is released, the terminal device will then... Figure 10 As shown, the second energy storage device B on the combination card displayed on the terminal device is in an unbound state.

[0137] In one application scenario, the first energy storage device responds to an instruction on the hub to add a third energy storage device and obtains data information from the third energy storage device; the first energy storage device then sends the data information from the third energy storage device to the terminal device.

[0138] In one application scenario, the first energy storage device supplies power to the load connected to the energy storage device via the hub according to the hub's dynamic adjustment command; wherein, the dynamic adjustment command is obtained from the load power supply configuration information of the terminal device to the hub.

[0139] In this embodiment, the interconnection technology of the hub enables several energy storage devices on the hub to share data. This allows the terminal device to obtain data information from all energy storage devices on the hub through the energy storage device with which it is connected, thereby enabling the terminal device to monitor the combined energy storage device. Furthermore, it increases the interaction methods between the terminal device and the energy storage device and improves the efficiency of the terminal device in obtaining data from the energy storage device.

[0140] Furthermore, terminal devices can utilize hub interconnection technology to quickly control other energy storage devices by interacting with one energy storage device, achieving functional sharing between energy storage devices, such as connection, disconnection, and binding functions.

[0141] In one application scenario, combined Figure 3 Explanation:

[0142] The first energy storage device A and the second energy storage device B are communicatively connected to the terminal device 10. That is, the terminal device 10 displays that the first energy storage device A and the second energy storage device B are online. Users can access the control page through corresponding operations on the terminal device 10. For example, users can unbind, disconnect, power off, or remove the first energy storage device A and the second energy storage device B from the control page on the terminal device 10. When unbinding or disconnecting the first energy storage device A and the second energy storage device B is attempted, a pop-up prompt will appear on the terminal device. After the user confirms, the terminal device will display the unbinding or disconnection details page.

[0143] When the first energy storage device A and the second energy storage device B are shut down, a pop-up prompt will appear on the terminal device. After the user selects confirmation, the terminal device will switch to the other online devices.

[0144] When the first energy storage device A and the second energy storage device B are removed, a pop-up prompt will appear on the terminal device. After the user selects confirmation, the terminal device will switch to the energy storage device list page.

[0145] In one application scenario, combined Figure 3 Explanation:

[0146] The first energy storage device A is online, while the second energy storage device B is offline or powered off. The user can access the control page through corresponding operations on the terminal device 10. For example, the user can control the first energy storage device A to go offline, unbind, or remove it, and the second energy storage device B to be removed, etc., on the control page of the terminal device 10. When controlling the first energy storage device A to go offline, unbind, or remove it, or the second energy storage device B to be removed, a pop-up prompt will appear on the terminal device. After the user confirms, the terminal device will switch to the energy storage device list page. That is, when one energy storage device is removed from the hub, the combination is disbanded, and a combination card will become a single card for two energy storage devices. A pop-up prompt will appear on the combination control page to the user, indicating that the combination state has changed to a single-device state.

[0147] In one application scenario, the first energy storage device A is used as a standalone unit, meaning it is online and connected to a hub. Users can access the control page via corresponding operations on terminal device 10. When the second energy storage device B is detected connected to the hub, a pop-up window will appear on the terminal device indicating that the combination has been established. After the user confirms, terminal device 10 will display the combination details (combination card). In other words, when the first energy storage device A, the second energy storage device B, and the hub are physically connected, the combination is established, the standalone cards of the two energy storage devices will change to a single combination card, and a pop-up window in the standalone control page will notify the user, indicating a change from standalone to combined status.

[0148] In some embodiments, taking a first energy storage device A, a second energy storage device B, and a hub as examples, when the first energy storage device A and the second energy storage device B are combined through the hub, the terminal device can obtain data information from the first energy storage device A, the second energy storage device B, and the hub. When the first energy storage device A and the second energy storage device B are not combined through the hub, the terminal device can obtain data information from the first energy storage device A and / or the second energy storage device B independently through a communication connection, but cannot obtain data information from the hub.

[0149] In summary, the energy storage device interaction method and energy storage system provided in this application utilize hub interconnection technology to enable several energy storage devices on the hub to share data. This allows terminal devices to obtain data information from all energy storage devices on the hub through the energy storage devices they communicate with, thereby enabling terminal devices to monitor and conveniently control the combined energy storage devices. Furthermore, it increases the interaction methods between terminal devices and energy storage devices, improving the efficiency of terminal devices in obtaining data from energy storage devices.
