[0042] The technical solution aims to solve the short circuit risk problem caused by the battery still being in the power-on state when the electronic device is opened to upgrade, repair or clean the hardware. By proposing a power supply module, the power supply state of the battery can be effectively controlled, thereby avoiding damage to electronic components caused by misoperation.

[0043] Embodiment one

[0044] As shown in Figure 1 The present application proposes a power supply module 1 applied to an electronic device, the power supply module 1 comprising:

[0045] An energy storage assembly 10 for at least powering the power consumption load of the electronic device;

[0046] The power supply chip 20 is in signal connection with the energy storage assembly 10 and can control the power supply state of the energy storage assembly 10.

[0047] The power supply chip 20 can generate different trigger signals in different device forms of the electronic device to make the energy storage assembly 10 stop or start supplying power to the power consumption load.

[0048] It can be understood that the energy storage assembly 10 is the energy source of the power supply module 1 and is used to provide the required power to the electronic device. The energy storage assembly 10 can be composed of one or more battery units and can store power and supply power to the power consumption load (such as the mainboard, the heat dissipation module, the display module, the loudspeaker, the keyboard, the IO port, etc.) according to the demand. The power supply chip 20 can monitor and manage the working state of the energy storage assembly 10. The power supply chip 20 can be a power management chip or a Gauge IC, both of which have signal processing capability and can receive various trigger signals from the system and adjust the power supply behavior of the energy storage assembly 10 accordingly, such as stopping or resuming power supply. The power supply chip 20 can be directly electrically connected with the energy storage assembly 10 or can be connected through a wireless signal

[0049] The power supply chip 20 can not only be connected with the energy storage assembly 10 but also exchange information with the CPU, GPU, etc. of the mainboard and can generate different trigger signals to the energy storage assembly 10 according to different forms of the electronic device, such as the case being in an open state or a closed state.

[0050] The trigger signal can be a level signal, and can also be a current or voltage signal.

[0051] For example, taking the level signal as an example, when the trigger signal is detected as a high level, the electronic device is in a normal operation mode, and the energy storage assembly 10 will continue to supply power to the power consumption load according to the demand.

[0052] Once the trigger signal changes to a low level, it may be because the user opens the case of the notebook computer or detects a situation that needs to be immediately disconnected from the power supply. At this time, the power supply chip 20 will receive this change and send instructions to the energy storage assembly 10 to stop supplying power to the power consumption load, thereby avoiding any damage that may be caused by a short circuit. The user does not need to worry about hardware failure caused by accidental touch during maintenance, reduces unnecessary worries, and effectively prevents hardware damage caused by improper operation, which helps to prolong the service life of the notebook computer as a whole,

[0053] In some embodiments, the power supply chip 20 is provided with a grounding pin 21 and a detection pin 22 at intervals.

[0054] The ground pin 21 and the detection pin 22 have different connection states in the case that the electronic device is in different device morphologies, so that the power supply chip 20 generates different trigger signals.

[0055] It can be understood that, in order to realize the recognition of different morphologies of the electronic device, such as the closed or open state of the shell, and adjust the power supply behavior of the energy storage assembly 10 accordingly, the power supply chip 20 is provided with a ground pin 21 and a detection pin 22. By changing the connection state of the two pins, different trigger signals can be generated to control the working mode of the energy storage assembly 10.

[0056] The ground pin 21 is a basic part of the power supply chip 20, which is used to establish a potential reference point in the circuit; the detection pin 22 is used to monitor the state change of the electronic device. In this embodiment, the detection pin 22 can be used to detect whether the notebook computer shell is opened, whether the battery is correctly installed, and the like. According to the change of these conditions, the detection pin 22 will present a high or low level state.

[0057] When the electronic device is in a normal use state, that is, the shell is closed and all components are correctly installed, the ground pin 21 and the detection pin 22 maintain a specific connection state. For example, the detection pin 22 can be maintained at a certain level (such as high level), indicating that everything is normal. At this time, the power supply chip 20 will not issue a stop power supply instruction, and the energy storage assembly 10 continues to supply power to the power load.

[0058] When the morphology of the electronic device changes (such as the user opens the bottom shell of the notebook computer), causing the disconnection between the ground pin 21 and the detection pin 22, the change is captured by the power supply chip 20 as the basis of the trigger signal.

[0059] In some embodiments, the electronic device includes a containing space 30 enclosed by at least one shell 40, and the power supply module 1 is arranged in the containing space 30;

[0060] The first surface 51 of the shell 40 towards the power supply chip 20 is provided with a first connecting piece 51, and the electronic device has a first device morphology and a second device morphology different from the first device morphology;

[0061] In the first device morphology, the first connecting piece 51 abuts against the ground pin 21 and the detection pin 22, and the power supply chip 20 generates a first trigger signal, which can enable the energy storage assembly 10 to supply power to the power load;

[0062] In the second device morphology, the first connecting piece 51 is separated from the ground pin 21 and the detection pin 22, and the power supply chip 20 generates a second trigger signal, which can enable the energy storage assembly 10 to stop supplying power to the power load.

[0063] It can be understood that the electronic device can be a notebook computer, a tablet computer, a smart phone, a smart wearable device, etc., and the shell 40 is a housing for enclosing and protecting internal components of the electronic device.

[0064] For example, in a notebook computer, when a user opens the bottom shell for hardware maintenance or cleaning, the state change of the shell 40 (whether the first connecting piece 51 is in contact with the grounding pin 21 and the detection pin 22) will directly affect the power supply or stop of the power supply module 1, thereby ensuring the safety of the device during operation.

[0065] The first connecting piece 51 can be a spring probe, a metal contact piece, or a connecting bolt, etc.

[0066] In the case of the first device form, the electronic device is normally assembled, and the shell is in a closed state. At this time, the first connecting piece 51 maintains contact with the specific contact point, i.e., the abutting state, thereby forming a circuit connection. The power supply chip 20 detects a specific voltage level (for example, the detection pin 22 is high), thereby generating a first trigger signal. Based on the first trigger signal, the energy storage assembly 10 continues to supply power to the power load, ensuring normal operation of the device.

[0067] In the case of the second device form, the shell of the electronic device is removed, and the first connecting piece 51 loses contact with the contact point, causing the spring probe to separate from the grounding pin 21 and the detection pin 22. The power supply chip 20 detects a change in the voltage level (for example, the detection pin 22 becomes low), thereby generating a second trigger signal. After receiving the second trigger signal, the power supply chip 20 instructs the energy storage assembly 10 to stop supplying power to the power load. This can effectively avoid the risk of short circuit or other electrical faults that may occur during the opening of the shell, thereby protecting the safety of the internal precision electronic components.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first connecting piece 51 includes a first conductive end 511 and a second conductive end 512 connected in conductive manner. In the first device form, the first conductive end 511 and the second conductive end 512 are respectively in abutment with the grounding pin 21 and the detection pin 22, so that the detection pin 22 is electrically connected to the grounding pin 21.

[0069] Or,

[0070] The first connecting piece 51 includes a protrusion provided on the first face 51 of the shell 40 and a conductor structure 513 provided on one end of the protrusion facing the power supply chip 20. The transverse dimension of the conductor structure 513 is not less than the spacing between the grounding pin 21 and the detection pin 22.

[0071] It can be understood that the first connecting member 51 can be a long strip-shaped metal contact piece fixedly arranged on the first surface 51 of the shell 40, and has a first conductive end 511 and a second conductive end 512 arranged at intervals, respectively used for establishing electrical connection with the ground pin 21 and the detection pin 22 on the power supply chip 20.

[0072] The first connecting member 51 can also be a spring probe or a connecting bolt. In the case of the spring probe, the spring probe is a probe with a spring contact and can be applied to electrical connection. One end of the spring probe is fixedly connected to the first surface 51 of the shell 40, and the other end is a conductor structure 513 which can be a metal end extending away from the first surface 51. The first surface 51 of the shell 40 can be an inner wall of the accommodating space 30.

[0073] It should be noted that the transverse dimension of the conductor structure 513 is not less than the distance between the ground pin 21 and the detection pin 22. The transverse direction is perpendicular to the direction of extension of the protrusion and / or parallel to the plane on which the power supply chip 20 is located. That is, the distance between any two points arranged opposite each other on the cross section of the metal end of the spring probe is greater than the distance between the ground pin 21 and the detection pin 22, so that when the metal end is abutted on the power supply chip 20, the ground pin 21 and the detection pin 22 can be connected at the same time.

[0074] In some embodiments, the energy storage assembly 10 includes a plurality of energy storage units connected in series and / or in parallel, and the energy storage units are connected to the power supply chip 20 through at least one electronic switch. The electronic switch can be turned on or turned off under the trigger signal of the power supply chip 20 to open or close the path between the power supply chip 20 and the energy storage assembly 10.

[0075] It can be understood that the energy storage assembly 10 includes a plurality of energy storage units (such as battery units), which can be combined together in series and / or in parallel to meet the requirements of specific voltage and capacity. In order to accurately control the power supply state of the energy storage assembly 10, each energy storage unit is connected to the power supply chip 20 through at least one electronic switch.

[0076] The energy storage unit can be a lithium ion battery, a nickel-hydrogen battery, etc. According to the required total voltage and capacity, the energy storage units can be combined in series (to increase voltage) and / or in parallel (to increase capacity).

[0077] The electronic switch can use a field effect transistor (FET) or a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET). It has the characteristics of fast response time and low on-resistance, and is suitable for use in high-efficiency power management systems.

[0078] In some embodiments, the power supply chip 20 can also record the power supply data of the energy storage assembly 10.

[0079] It can be understood that the power supply chip 20 can not only control the power supply state of the energy storage assembly 10, but also record the power supply data of the energy storage assembly 10. The management efficiency of the device and the user experience can be significantly improved, and strong support can be provided for fault diagnosis.

[0080] For end users, the recorded power supply data can be converted into an intuitive health status report, helping users better understand the working condition of the device and take appropriate measures (such as replacing the aging battery in time).

[0081] For maintenance technicians, detailed power supply data provides reference information for technicians to quickly locate the problem source when the device fails.

[0082] Among them, the recorded power supply data includes but is not limited to: voltage data, real-time monitoring of the voltage level of the energy storage unit, ensuring that it remains within a safe range; current data, tracking the current size flowing in and out of the energy storage assembly 10, preventing overcurrent damage; temperature data, monitoring the temperature changes of the battery and its surrounding environment, preventing safety accidents caused by overheating; number of charge and discharge cycles, recording the complete number of charge and discharge cycles, which is an important basis for evaluating the health status of the battery; state of charge, providing the current remaining percentage of power, allowing users to always know how long the device can be used.

[0083] In some embodiments, the power supply chip 20 includes a power gauge chip.

[0084] It can be understood that the power supply chip 20 not only contains functions for controlling the power supply state of the energy storage assembly, but also integrates a power gauge chip. This design enables the power supply chip 20 to not only intelligently manage the opening and closing of the power supply, but also accurately monitor the state of the battery, such as the remaining power, the number of charge and discharge cycles, etc., thereby providing more comprehensive power management and protection functions. The power gauge chip can monitor the power state of the energy storage assembly (such as the battery) in real time and display the remaining power in percentage form, helping users understand how long the device can still be used. By recording the number of charge and discharge cycles and analyzing parameters such as the voltage, current, and temperature of the battery, the power gauge chip can evaluate the health status of the battery, predict the battery life, and remind users to replace the battery when necessary. The power gauge chip can also detect abnormal conditions such as overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, or overtemperature, and promptly notify the power supply chip to take appropriate protective measures to prevent battery damage and even safety accidents.

[0085] The power supply chip 20 integrated with the power gauge chip can provide users with accurate power indications while ensuring that the battery still maintains good performance after long-term use. In addition, it can automatically cut off the power supply when the electronic device enters maintenance mode (such as opening the shell), increasing the safety of the operation.

[0086] Embodiment Two

[0087] The application provides an electronic device, comprising: a containing space 30 enclosed by at least one shell 40;

[0088] A power supply module 1 is arranged in the containing space 30, and the power supply module 1 comprises:

[0089] An energy storage assembly 10 is arranged in the containing space 30 and used for supplying power to an electric load of the electronic device;

[0090] A power supply chip 20 is connected with the energy storage assembly 10 and capable of controlling the power supply state of the energy storage assembly 10;

[0091] The power supply chip 20 can generate different trigger signals in different device modes of the electronic device, so that the energy storage assembly 10 stops or starts supplying power to the electric load.

[0092] It can be understood that the electronic device can be a notebook computer, a tablet computer, a smart phone, a smart wearable device or the like, the shell 40 is a housing for surrounding and protecting internal components of the electronic device, and is capable of enclosing a containing space 30 for placing various key components such as a mainboard, a battery, a storage device and the like.

[0093] The energy storage assembly 10 mainly functions to store electric energy and supply power to various electric loads (such as a processor, a display screen, a hard disk drive and the like) of the electronic device according to needs. The energy storage assembly 10 can be composed of a plurality of energy storage units (such as lithium battery units) in a series and / or parallel manner to meet specific voltage and capacity requirements.

[0094] The power supply chip 20 is connected with the energy storage assembly 10 and capable of monitoring and adjusting the working state of the energy storage assembly 10 in real time. For example, the power supply chip 20 allows the energy storage assembly 10 to start or stop supplying power.

[0095] The electronic device comprises a normal use state and a maintenance state. When the device is in the normal working state, for example, the shell is closed and all components are correctly installed, the power supply chip 20 receives a corresponding signal and allows the energy storage assembly 10 to continue supplying power to the electric load. When the device is in the maintenance state, for example, the user opens the bottom shell of the notebook computer for hardware upgrade or cleaning, the power supply chip 20 immediately sends an instruction to the energy storage assembly 10 to stop supplying power to the electric load, so as to avoid potential short circuit risk or other electrical faults.

[0096] In some embodiments, the shell 40 comprises a back shell 42 and a front shell 41 detachably connected with the back shell 42, the back shell 42 is provided with a first connecting piece 51, the first connecting piece 51 is fixedly arranged on an end face of the back shell 42 facing the front shell 41, or the first connecting piece 51 penetrates through the back shell 42 and is movably connected with the back shell 42 and capable of moving in a direction close to or away from the front shell 41.

[0097] It can be understood that as part of the electronic device, the back cover 42 usually covers the back of the device and can contain heat dissipation holes, interfaces, etc., and the front cover 41 is arranged opposite to the back cover 42, and the two together enclose the accommodation space 30 to accommodate the power supply module 1. The connection mode between the back cover 42 and the front cover 41 can be fixed by screws or buckle connection, etc., allowing the user to easily open the device.

[0098] The first connecting piece 51 is used to detect the morphological change of the device, for example, whether the shell is closed, and accordingly trigger the power supply chip 20 to issue corresponding instructions to control the power supply or power-off behavior of the energy storage assembly 10.

[0099] Among them, the first connecting piece 51 can be fixedly arranged on the side end face of the back cover 42 facing the front cover 41, at this time, the first connecting piece 51 can be a spring probe or a metal contact piece, when the back cover 42 and the front cover 41 are closed, the first connecting piece 51 abuts against the power supply chip 20, forming an electrical connection, so that the power supply chip 20 can receive a specific state signal;

[0100] When the user opens the back cover 42 for maintenance or cleaning, the first connecting piece 51 is separated from the front cover 41, causing the circuit to be disconnected, and the power supply chip 20 detects this change and generates a trigger signal to stop the energy storage assembly 10 from supplying power to the power load.

[0101] The first connecting piece 51 can also be movably arranged on the back cover 42 and can reciprocate through the back cover 42 and towards the front cover 41, at this time, the first connecting piece 51 can be a bolt, when the back cover 42 and the front cover 41 are closed, the first connecting piece 51 is moved towards the front cover 41 by tightening, and abuts against the power supply chip 20, forming an electrical connection, so that the power supply chip 20 can receive a specific state signal;

[0102] When the user opens the back cover 42 for maintenance or cleaning, the bolt can be loosened in advance, so that the first connecting piece 51 moves away from the front cover 41, and the circuit is disconnected from the power supply chip 20, and the power supply chip 20 detects this change and generates a trigger signal to stop the energy storage assembly 10 from supplying power to the power load.

[0103] In some embodiments, the electronic device has a first device form and a second device form different from the first device form;

[0104] In the first device form, the first connecting piece 51 abuts against the power supply chip 20, and the power supply chip 20 generates a first trigger signal, which can cause the energy storage assembly 10 to supply power to the power load;

[0105] In the second device configuration, the first connector 51 is separated from the power supply chip 20, and the power supply chip 20 generates a second trigger signal, which enables the energy storage component 10 to stop supplying power to the electrical load.

[0106] In the first device configuration, the electronic device is in normal operating condition, i.e., the front cover 41 and the back cover 42 are tightly closed, and the electronic device operates normally; the first connector 51 remains in contact with the power supply chip 20. The first connector 51 establishes an electrical connection with the power supply chip 20, and the power supply chip 20 receives a stable level signal. Based on this signal, the energy storage component 10 continues to supply power to the electrical load.

[0107] When the device transitions to a second device form, which refers to any state different from the first device form, such as when a user opens the back cover 42 of the electronic device for hardware upgrades, repairs, or cleaning, the back cover 42 separates from the front cover 41, the physical contact between the first connector 51 and the power supply chip 20 is interrupted, and the electrical connection is broken. The power supply chip 20 detects this change and generates a second trigger signal accordingly. Upon receiving the second trigger signal, the energy storage component 10 immediately stops supplying power to the electrical load. This design effectively avoids the risk of short circuits or other electrical faults that may occur during the opening of the casing, protecting the safety of the internal precision electronic components.

[0108] By intelligently recognizing the device's shape and automatically cutting off power when necessary, the risk of hardware damage due to misoperation is greatly reduced. Users no longer need to worry about accidents when performing maintenance or cleaning with the casing open, thus improving the user experience.
