The components of the embodiments of the utility model described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0020] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the utility model claimed for protection, but merely represents selected embodiments of the utility model. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0021] Moreover, the terms "comprises", "includes" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or apparatus that includes a list of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or apparatus. In the absence of more restrictions, an element defined by the phrase "comprises a ..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or apparatus that includes the element.

[0022] The features and performance of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a power overload protection device includes a power supply, a central controller, a power management chip, a memory, a surge monitoring device, a power consumption data acquisition module, a safety monitoring device, a communication module and a cooling and heat dissipation device; the power supply, the power management chip and the central controller are connected in sequence; the memory, the surge monitoring device, the power consumption data acquisition module, the safety monitoring device, the communication module and the cooling and heat dissipation device are respectively connected to the central controller.

[0024] The power supply is connected to the input power terminal of the power management chip. The power management chip has at least one output power terminal, each of which is connected to the power terminal of at least one power-consuming device. The power management chip also includes at least one detection terminal, each of which corresponds to a connection line connected to the power-consuming device.

[0025] The surge monitoring device is equipped with a surge threshold inside. The surge monitoring device monitors the surge in the charging process in real time, that is, monitors the voltage value in the charging circuit in real time, and compares the real-time monitored voltage surge value with the preset voltage surge threshold. When the real-time surge value exceeds the surge threshold, the charging circuit is disconnected in time through the central controller to achieve surge protection for the charging circuit, avoiding the charging process abnormality due to excessive surge voltage in the charging circuit, and even causing safety accidents.

[0026] It should be noted that the central controller uses an MCU microcontroller model MC9S08P32, which is an integrated device that includes information processing, sending control instructions, and displaying data through a display device; the power management chip controls the output power end of each power management chip and the power supply circuit of the power-consuming device according to the current signal detected by the detection end of each connected power-consuming device. The power management chip model used is FT8380D, which integrates a constant current and constant voltage control module and built-in output line loss compensation. It can achieve constant current and constant voltage and fast dynamic output, and provides functions including but not limited to VCC overvoltage protection and OPT overtemperature circuit protection.

[0027] The power consumption data acquisition module includes a current monitoring chip, a current sensor and a power consumption prompt module; the current sensor is connected to the current monitoring chip, and the current monitoring chip and the power consumption prompt module are respectively connected to the central controller;

[0028] It should be noted that the model of the current monitoring chip selected is AD8215YRZ. The current sensor is used to collect the current signal between the electrical equipment and the power supply. The current sensor is arranged between the power management chip and the electrical equipment to obtain the on-off status information of the power supply circuit between the power management chip and each electrical equipment. When it is obtained that the electrical equipment and the power management chip are in a disconnected state, the current monitoring chip collects the current parameters when the electrical equipment is disconnected, as well as the duration of the safe current and the power consumption from the start of power-on to the power-off period, and visualizes the information through the power consumption prompt module.

[0029] A current safety threshold is set in the current monitoring chip. The current monitoring chip detects the current value during the charging process in real time and compares it with the preset current safety threshold. When the current monitoring chip detects that the current value of the circuit exceeds the preset safety current threshold, it indicates that there is a current overload in the charging circuit. The current monitoring chip sends a current overload alarm signal to the power management chip. The power management chip controls to cut off the current on this electrical device to ensure the safety of the charging circuit.

[0030] The current monitoring chip also transmits the power consumption information to the central controller. The central controller completes the data and information transmission with the mobile terminal through the communication module. The memory stores the alarm signal. If the power consumption data acquisition module detects that the current exceeds the preset safety current or the safety monitoring device detects that the charging environment is abnormal, the central controller sends the alarm signal in the memory to the mobile terminal for an alarm reminder, and also remotely sends the current parameters and power consumption of the charging pile to the mobile terminal.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the power usage reminder module includes a display driver chip, a display screen, an audio control chip and a speaker. The display driver chip is connected to the display screen, the audio control chip is connected to the speaker, and the display driver chip and the audio control chip are respectively connected to the central controller.

The central controller drives the working status of the display screen through the display driver chip, so that the display screen displays the on and off status of the charging pile, the charging time and the power consumption at this time; the audio control chip model is ALC662-GR. In order to improve convenience, the audio controller chip is also connected to the speaker. When the current monitoring chip detects that the circuit is disconnected, that is, the charging pile has been used, the above information will be broadcasted by voice.

[0033] The surge monitoring device includes a surge protector, a leakage current transformer and an intelligent lightning protection surge monitoring module. The surge protector is connected to the leakage current transformer and is arranged between the power supply and the power management chip. The surge protector and the leakage current transformer are respectively connected to the intelligent lightning protection surge monitoring module, and the intelligent lightning protection surge monitoring module is connected to the central controller.

[0034] It should be noted that the surge protector provides surge protection for the circuit, and the leakage current transformer detects the leakage signal of the circuit. The model selected for the intelligent lightning protection surge monitoring module is WJZ10.

The monitored data can also be used with a built-in algorithm to calculate the expected life of the equipment, and the built-in LCD screen can query the monitored values ​​and status.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the safety monitoring device includes an alarm, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, a smoke sensor and an analog-to-digital converter; the temperature sensor is TN2415, the humidity sensor is HIH-4602, the smoke sensor is HAJB-Y-2, and the alarm is an acousto-optic alarm of model BJD330; the temperature sensor, humidity sensor and smoke sensor are all arranged next to the home charging pile to monitor the use environment of the charging pile. When the temperature sensor, humidity sensor and smoke sensor send analog signals to the analog-to-digital converter for analog-to-digital conversion, if the central controller receives that the smoke concentration, temperature parameters and humidity parameters exceed the preset values, the central controller sends an electrical signal to the alarm to control it to give an alarm reminder. The alarm signal is also stored in the memory, and the central controller sends the alarm signal remotely to the mobile terminal through the communication module.

[0036] The safety monitoring device is equipped with temperature threshold, humidity threshold and smoke threshold. The safety monitoring device monitors the temperature, humidity and smoke information of the environment during the charging process in real time. When the monitored ambient temperature is greater than the temperature threshold or the monitored humidity is greater than the humidity threshold or the smoke value is greater than the smoke threshold, the internal alarm of the safety monitoring device will be triggered, and the alarm will be used to alert the charging user so that the user can deal with the abnormal situation in time to ensure the safety of the charging process.

[0037] The cooling and heat dissipation device includes a semiconductor cooling sheet, a semiconductor cooling sheet temperature control module, a micro fan and a fan controller. The semiconductor cooling sheet is connected to the semiconductor cooling sheet temperature control module, the micro fan is connected to the fan controller, and the semiconductor cooling sheet temperature control module and the fan controller are respectively connected to the central controller.

The working temperature of the semiconductor refrigeration chip can be set manually or through serial port commands, and the internal temperature changes during the use of the charging pile can be detected. The set power can be forced to output. When the semiconductor refrigeration chip temperature control module detects that the temperature of the working environment has reached the preset parameters, the semiconductor refrigeration chip is controlled to start cooling, and an electrical signal is sent to the central controller. The central controller controls the working state of the micro fan through the fan controller; the fan controller uses a fan motor controller with model 716PCASTS0060. The semiconductor refrigeration chip cools the inside of the charging pile, and the micro fan is an exhaust fan, which ventilates and dissipates heat from the interface and overheated power supply.
