[0073] Specifically, such as Figures 11-16 As shown, the acquisition unit also includes a USB fast charging protocol acquisition unit 2036 connected to the USB interface 4 and the control module 202 respectively. The USB fast charging protocol acquisition unit 2036 is adapted to acquire the fast charging protocol signal of the device connected to the USB interface 4 and feed it back to the control module 202. When the power-consuming interface or the power-receiving interface contains the USB interface 4, the control module 202 further adjusts the operation of the power conversion module 203 according to the received fast charging protocol signal to adjust the corresponding power conversion level and power flow direction conversion. The USB fast charging protocol acquisition unit is prior art, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment. For reference, please refer to the fast charging protocol acquisition circuit in a multi-fast charging protocol dual-port charger disclosed in announcement number CN117895608A.

[0074] Specifically, the control module 202 integrates an MPPT circuit. When the power input interface contains a photovoltaic panel and a power input / output interface 5, the MPPT circuit is connected to the photovoltaic panel and the power input / output interface 5 to track the maximum power point of the device connected to the photovoltaic panel and the power input / output interface 5.

[0078] The DC input / output voltage and current acquisition unit is connected to the photovoltaic panel and the power input / output interface 5 to acquire the input voltage and current or the output voltage and current of the photovoltaic panel and the power input / output interface 5.

[0079] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the power conversion module 203 includes a PD bidirectional power conversion unit 2035 and a bidirectional DC power conversion unit 2034.

[0080] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, both the bidirectional DC power conversion unit 2034 and the PD bidirectional power conversion unit 2035 adopt the following... Figure 5 The bidirectional DC-DC converter topology shown has the same working principle. The working principle of the bidirectional DC-DC power conversion unit 2034 is explained in detail below. The bidirectional DC-DC power conversion unit 2034 includes MOSFETs TR1, TR2, TR3, and TR4, inductor L1, and energy storage and filtering capacitors C1 and C2. The drain (D) of MOSFET TR1 is connected to terminal V1, and the source (S) of MOSFET TR1 is connected to the drain (D) of MOSFET TR2 and one end of inductor L1. The source (S) of MOSFET TR2 is connected to common ground. The drain (D) of MOSFET TR3... The source (S) of MOSFET TR3 is connected to the drain (D) of MOSFET TR4 and the other end of inductor L1; the source (S) of MOSFET TR4 is connected to the common ground; the positive terminal of energy storage filter capacitor C1 is connected to terminal V1, and the negative terminal of energy storage filter capacitor C1 is connected to the common ground; the positive terminal of energy storage filter capacitor C2 is connected to terminal V2, and the negative terminal of energy storage filter capacitor C2 is connected to the common ground; the gate (G) terminals of MOSFETs TR1, TR2, TR3, and TR4 are respectively connected to the PWM control signal;

[0081] When it is necessary to control the flow of electrical energy from terminal V1 to terminal V2, there may be three possible situations when comparing the voltage at terminal V1 with the desired output voltage at terminal V2: the voltage at terminal V1 is less than the desired output voltage at terminal V2, the voltage at terminal V1 is equal to the desired output voltage at terminal V2, and the voltage at terminal V1 is greater than the desired output voltage at terminal V2.

[0082] The specific conversion process for the above three scenarios will be explained in detail below:

[0083] When the voltage at terminal V1 is less than the desired output voltage at terminal V2, such as Figure 6As shown, during time period t1, control module 202 sends a high level to the gate (G) terminals of MOSFETs TR1 and TR4 to turn them on, and sends a low level to the gate (G) terminals of MOSFETs TR2 and TR3 to turn them off. This allows electrical energy to flow through MOSFETs TR1, inductor L1, and TR4 back to the common ground. At this time, the electrical energy is converted into magnetic energy and stored in inductor L1. During time period t1, the energy storage filter capacitor C2 supplies power to the load at terminal V2. Electrical energy flows from the positive terminal of energy storage filter capacitor C2 through the load back to the negative terminal of energy storage filter capacitor C2. Figure 7 As shown, during time period t2, control module 202 controls MOSFETs TR2 and TR3 to conduct by giving them a high gate (G) level, and controls MOSFETs TR1 and TR4 to turn off by giving them a low gate (G) level. At this time, the electrical energy stored in inductor L1 during time period t1 will flow from one end of inductor L1 through MOSFET TR3 to the V2 end. Then, part of the electrical energy charges the energy storage filter capacitor C2, and the other part of the electrical energy flows to the common ground through the load and back to the other end of inductor L1 through MOSFET TR2. By repeating the control timing sequence of time periods t1 and t2, the flow of electrical energy from the V1 end to the V2 end can be continuously controlled. By adjusting the ratio of time periods t1 and t2, the amount of electrical energy flowing from the V1 end to the V2 end can be controlled.

[0084] When the voltage at terminal V1 is equal to the desired output voltage at terminal V2, such as Figure 8 As shown, the control module 202 controls MOSFETs TR1 and TR3 to conduct by giving them a high level at their gate (G) and controls MOSFETs TR2 and TR4 to turn them off by giving them a low level at their gate (G), so that electrical energy flows through MOSFETs TR1, inductor L1 and MOSFETs TR3 to the V2 terminal, and then through the load to the common ground.

[0085] When the voltage at terminal V1 is greater than the desired output voltage at terminal V2, such as Figure 9As shown, during time period t1, control module 202 sends a high-level signal to the gates (G) of MOSFETs TR1 and TR3 to turn them on, and sends a low-level signal to the gates (G) of MOSFETs TR2 and TR4 to turn them off. This allows electrical energy to flow through MOSFETs TR1, inductor L1, and MOSFET TR3 to terminal V2. Due to the resistance of inductor L1 to the current, the current flowing to terminal V2 increases slowly. If the current flowing to terminal V2 is insufficient to meet the load demand, the missing electrical energy is provided by the energy storage filter capacitor C2. During time period t1, inductor L1 converts the electrical energy flowing into terminal V1 into magnetic energy for storage; as... Figure 10 As shown, during time period t2, control module 202 controls MOSFETs TR2 and TR3 to conduct by giving them a high gate (G) level, and controls MOSFETs TR1 and TR4 to turn off by giving them a low gate (G) level. At this time, the electrical energy stored in inductor L1 during time period t1 will flow from one end of inductor L1 through MOSFET TR3 to the V2 end. Then, part of the electrical energy charges the energy storage filter capacitor C2, and the other part of the electrical energy flows to the common ground through the load and back to the other end of inductor L1 through MOSFET TR2. By repeating the control timing sequence of time periods t1 and t2, the flow of electrical energy from the V1 end to the V2 end can be continuously controlled. By adjusting the ratio of time periods t1 and t2, the amount of electrical energy flowing from the V1 end to the V2 end can be controlled.

[0086] Similarly, if it is necessary to control the flow of electrical energy from V2 to V1, the control module 202 only needs to control the conduction or cutoff of MOSFETs TR1, TR2, TR3, and TR4 according to the reverse control timing sequence. This will control the flow of electrical energy from V2 to V1. The control module 202 controls the conduction or cutoff time ratio (duty cycle) of MOSFETs TR1, TR2, TR3, and TR4 to control the amount of electrical power flowing from V2 to V1. The specific principle is the same as that for controlling the flow of electrical energy from V1 to V2, and will not be described again here.

[0087] Specifically, the control module 202 includes a DSP or an MCU.

[0088] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, module group 2 also includes a DC-DC conversion module 201 and a functional module. The input terminal of the DC-DC conversion module 201 is electrically connected to the power supply interface, and the output terminal of the DC-DC conversion module 201 is electrically connected to the functional module and the control module 202 respectively. The DC-DC conversion module 201 is adapted to convert the electrical energy input from the power supply interface and supply power to the control module 202 and the functional module.

[0089] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the functional modules include an LED array driver module 204, an IoT module 205, an attitude sensor module 206, a satellite positioning module 207, and a voice interaction module 208.

[0090] Specifically, such as Figure 19 As shown, the bidirectional charging and discharging module also includes a user interaction module 3, which is connected to the control module 202.

[0091] Specifically, such as Figure 19 As shown, the user interaction module 3 includes a button input unit 301 and a display unit 302; wherein, the button input unit 301 may be a light-touch button switch, a touch button, or a touch screen, etc.; the display unit 302 may be an LED indicator, an LED display array, or a display screen.

[0092] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the control module 202 is connected to the LED array driver module 204, and the control module 202 is adapted to control the LED array driver module 204 to drive the LED array 6 for display.

[0093] The control module 202 is connected to the IoT module 205, and the control module 202 is adapted to interact with the outside through the IoT module 205.

[0094] The control module 202 is connected to the attitude sensor module 206. The attitude sensor module 206 is adapted to acquire the real-time attitude of the object under test. The control module 202 is adapted to control the action of the LED array driver module 204 according to the received real-time attitude to drive the LED array 6 to display the distress signal and send the distress signal outward through the IOT module 205.

[0095] The control module 202 is connected to the satellite positioning module 207. The satellite positioning module 207 is adapted to collect the real-time location information of the object to be measured. The control module 202 is adapted to send the obtained real-time location information to the outside through the IoT module 205.

[0096] The control module 202 is connected to the voice interaction module 208, and the control module 202 is adapted to interact with the outside world via the voice interaction module 208.

[0097] In this embodiment, the LED array 6 can display the operating status of the electric wheelchair or mobility scooter control system, provide lighting for the user, and display emergency distress signals.

[0098] In this embodiment, as Figure 18As shown, the IoT module 205 can connect to a cloud server (remote mode) or a user APP (local mode). The IoT module 205 receives data information such as working status and setting parameters sent by the control module 202, and transmits it to the cloud server (remote mode) or directly to the user APP (local mode) via wireless communication technology. The IoT module 205 also receives data commands sent by the cloud server (remote mode) or the user APP (local mode) via wireless communication technology, and sends them to the control module 202 through the communication interface. This enables users to view or set the working status, working parameters, real-time location, or attitude of the bidirectional charging and discharging module remotely or locally via the APP. The attitude sensor module 206 can monitor the driving posture of the electric wheelchair or elderly mobility scooter. The satellite positioning module 207 can locate the real-time location or driving trajectory of the electric wheelchair or elderly mobility scooter.

[0099] In this embodiment, when the bidirectional charge / discharge module is operating in discharge mode one, such as Figure 11 As shown, when the XLR interface is connected to an electric wheelchair or mobility scooter, the electrical energy from the wheelchair or scooter is transmitted to the DC-DC converter module 201 via the XLR interface. The DC-DC converter module 201 converts the electrical energy into low-voltage and stable power to supply the connected modules. The control module 202 starts operating after receiving the power. After starting, the control module 202 acquires the voltage from the XLR interface 1 via the XLR input / output voltage and current acquisition unit 2031 and determines whether the voltage is within a reasonable range. If it is within the reasonable range, the control module 202 acquires the charging protocol supported by the device connected to the USB interface 4 via the USB fast charging protocol acquisition unit 2036. Then, the control module 202 controls the PD bidirectional power conversion unit 2035 to perform the corresponding level of power conversion, supplying power to the device via the USB interface 4.

[0100] When the bidirectional charge / discharge module is operating in discharge mode two, such as Figure 12As shown, when the XLR interface 1 is connected to an electric wheelchair or mobility scooter, the electrical energy from the wheelchair or scooter is transmitted to the DC-DC converter module 201 via the XLR interface 1. The DC-DC converter module 201 converts the electrical energy into low-voltage and stable power to supply the connected modules. The control module 202 starts operating after receiving the power. After starting, the control module 202 collects the voltage obtained from the XLR interface 1 through the XLR input / output voltage and current acquisition unit 2031 and determines whether the voltage is within a reasonable range. If it is within the reasonable range, the control module 202 controls the bidirectional DC power conversion unit 2034 to perform corresponding power conversion according to the user-set parameters, supplying power to external electrical equipment through the photovoltaic panel and power input / output interface 5.

[0101] When the bidirectional charge / discharge module is operating in discharge mode three, such as Figure 13 As shown, when the XLR interface 1 is connected to an electric wheelchair or mobility scooter, the electrical energy from the wheelchair or scooter is transmitted to the DC-DC converter module 201 via the XLR interface 1. The DC-DC converter module 201 converts the electrical energy into low-voltage and stable power to supply the connected modules. The control module 202 starts operating after receiving the power. After starting, the control module 202 acquires the voltage from the XLR interface 1 via the XLR input / output voltage and current acquisition unit 2031 and determines if the voltage is within a reasonable range. If it is, the control module 202 acquires the charging protocol supported by the device connected to the USB interface 4 via the USB fast charging protocol acquisition unit 2036. Then, the control module 202 controls the PD bidirectional power conversion unit 2035 to perform the corresponding level of power conversion, supplying power to the device via the USB interface 4. Simultaneously, the control module 202 controls the bidirectional DC power conversion unit 2034 to perform corresponding power conversion according to the user-set parameters, supplying power to the external device via the photovoltaic panel and power input / output interface 5.

[0102] When the bidirectional charging and discharging module is operating in charging mode one, such as Figure 14 As shown, the bidirectional charging and discharging module draws power from USB interface 4. The power transmitted from USB interface 4 is converted into low-voltage and stable power by DC-DC converter module 201 to supply power to the connected modules. Control module 202 starts working after receiving power. After starting working, control module 202 collects the power level that the power supply device connected to USB interface 4 can provide through USB fast charging protocol acquisition unit 2036. Then, control module 202 controls PD bidirectional power conversion unit 2035 to perform corresponding power conversion. The power converted by PD bidirectional power conversion unit 2035 is then charged through XLR interface 1 after passing through XLR input / output voltage and current acquisition unit 2031.

[0103] When the bidirectional charging and discharging module is operating in charging mode two, such as Figure 15 As shown, the bidirectional charging and discharging module draws power from the photovoltaic panel and the power input / output interface 5. The electrical energy transmitted from the photovoltaic panel and the power input / output interface 5 is converted into low-voltage and stable electrical energy by the DC-DC conversion module 201 and supplied to each connected module. The control module 202 starts working after receiving the electrical energy. After the control module 202 starts working, it collects the voltage connected to the photovoltaic panel and power input / output interface 5 through the DC input / output voltage and current acquisition unit 2032 and determines whether the voltage is within a reasonable range. If it is within a reasonable range, the control module 202 controls the bidirectional DC power conversion unit 2034 to perform power conversion. The control module 202 integrates an MPPT circuit. During the power conversion process of the bidirectional DC power conversion unit 2034, the control module 202 tracks and calculates in real time the maximum power point that the power supply equipment connected to the photovoltaic panel and power input / output interface 5 can provide, and adjusts and controls the power conversion level of the bidirectional DC power conversion unit 2034 to maximize the conversion power. The electrical energy converted by the bidirectional DC power conversion unit 2034 is then charged for electric wheelchairs or mobility scooters through the XLR interface 1 after passing through the XLR input / output voltage and current acquisition unit 2031.

[0104] When the bidirectional charging and discharging module is operating in charging mode three, such as Figure 16As shown, the bidirectional charging and discharging module simultaneously draws power from the USB interface 4 and the photovoltaic panel and power input / output interface 5. The power transmitted from the USB interface 4 and the photovoltaic panel and power input / output interface 5 is converted into low-voltage and stable power by the DC-DC conversion module 201 to supply power to the connected modules. The control module 202 starts working after receiving power. After starting working, the control module 202 collects the voltage connected to the photovoltaic panel and power input / output interface 5 through the DC input / output voltage and current acquisition unit 2032 and determines whether the voltage is within a reasonable range. If it is within a reasonable range, the control module 202 controls the bidirectional DC power conversion unit 2034 to perform power conversion. The control module 202 integrates an MPPT circuit. During the power conversion process of the bidirectional DC power conversion unit 2034, the control module 202 tracks and calculates in real time the maximum power point that the power supply equipment connected to the photovoltaic panel and power input / output interface 5 can provide, and adjusts and controls the power conversion level of the bidirectional DC power conversion unit 2034 to achieve the desired effect. To maximize the conversion power, the electrical energy converted by the bidirectional DC power conversion unit 2034 is then used to charge the electric wheelchair or mobility scooter through the XLR interface 1 after passing through the XLR input / output voltage and current acquisition unit 2031. Simultaneously, the control module 202 acquires the power level provided by the power supply device connected to the USB interface 4 through the USB fast charging protocol acquisition unit 2036, and then controls the PD bidirectional power conversion unit 2035 to perform the corresponding power conversion. The electrical energy converted by the PD bidirectional power conversion unit 2035 is then used to charge the electric wheelchair or mobility scooter through the XLR interface 1 after passing through the XLR input / output voltage and current acquisition unit 2031.

[0105] When the bidirectional charging and discharging module operates in car charging mode, this mode is very user-friendly for users who need to drive with an electric wheelchair or mobility scooter. Users can connect the car's 12V car charger port to the photovoltaic panel and power input / output interface 5 while driving. At this time, the bidirectional charging and discharging module draws power from the photovoltaic panel and power input / output interface 5. The power from the photovoltaic panel and power input / output interface 5 is converted into low-voltage and stable power by the DC-DC converter module 201 to supply the connected modules. The control module 202 starts working after receiving the power. After starting, the control module 202 collects the voltage connected to the photovoltaic panel and power input / output interface 5 through the DC input / output voltage and current acquisition unit 2032 and determines whether the voltage is within a reasonable range. If it is within the reasonable range, the control module 202 controls the bidirectional DC power conversion unit 2034 to perform power conversion. The power converted by the bidirectional DC power conversion unit 2034 is then passed through the XLR input / output voltage and current acquisition unit 2031 and used to charge the electric wheelchair or mobility scooter through the XLR interface 1.

[0106] When the bidirectional charging and discharging module operates in independent digital power mode, it can function independently of electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters, functioning as a digitally adjustable DC regulated power supply. The module draws power from USB interface 4, which is then converted into low-voltage, stable power by the DC-DC converter module 201 to supply power to connected modules. The control module 202 begins operation upon receiving power. After the control module 202 starts working, it collects the power level that the power supply device connected to the USB interface 4 can provide through the USB fast charging protocol acquisition unit 2036. Then, the control module 202 controls the PD bidirectional power conversion unit 2035 to perform the corresponding power conversion. The electrical energy converted by the PD bidirectional power conversion unit 2035 is sent to the PD bidirectional power conversion unit 2035 through the XLR input / output voltage and current acquisition unit 2031. The control module 202 controls the bidirectional DC power conversion unit 2034 to perform the corresponding power conversion according to the parameters set by the user. After the bidirectional DC power conversion unit 2034 converts the electrical energy into the value that meets the user setting, it is sent to the photovoltaic panel and power input / output interface 5 to supply power to the external electrical equipment through the DC input / output voltage and current acquisition unit 2032.

[0107] When the bidirectional charging and discharging module operates in independent MPPT mode, it can function independently of electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters as a USB power supply with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) functionality. The module draws power from the photovoltaic panel and power input / output interface 5. The power from these interfaces is converted into low-voltage, stable power by the DC-DC converter module 201 and supplied to the connected modules. The control module 202 begins operation upon receiving power. After the control module 202 starts working, it collects the voltage connected to the photovoltaic panel and power input / output interface 5 through the DC input / output voltage and current acquisition unit 2032 and determines whether the voltage is within a reasonable range. If it is within a reasonable range, the control module 202 controls the bidirectional DC power conversion unit 2034 to perform power conversion. The control module 202 integrates an MPPT circuit. During the power conversion process of the bidirectional DC power conversion unit 2034, the control module 202 tracks and calculates in real time the maximum power point that the power supply equipment connected to the photovoltaic panel and power input / output interface 5 can provide, and adjusts and controls the power conversion level of the bidirectional DC power conversion unit 2034 to maximize the conversion power. Electrical energy is converted by the bidirectional DC power conversion unit 2034 and then sent to the XLR input / output voltage and current acquisition unit 2031. The control module 202 acquires the charging protocol supported by the device connected to the USB interface 4 through the USB fast charging protocol acquisition unit 2036. Then, the control module 202 controls the PD bidirectional power conversion unit 2035 to perform the corresponding level of power conversion according to the specific charging protocol. The power is then sent to the USB interface 4 through the USB input / output voltage and current acquisition unit 2033 to power the external USB device.

[0108] When the bidirectional charging / discharging module operates in hybrid mode, it draws power from any one or two of the three interfaces: XLR interface 1, USB interface 4, or photovoltaic panel and power input / output interface 5. The power is then converted by the power conversion module 203 and supplied to the other one or two interfaces. The DC-DC conversion module 201, after receiving power from any one or two of the three interfaces, converts the power into low-voltage and stable power to supply the connected modules. The control module 202 begins operation after receiving power. Figure 17As shown, after the control module 202 starts working, it acquires the voltage of the XLR interface 1 through the XLR input / output voltage and current acquisition unit 2031 and identifies the attributes of the XLR interface 1 according to the acquired voltage (the attributes are divided into: 1. Power input port, 2. Discharge port, 3. Not connected); the control module 202 acquires the voltage of the photovoltaic panel and the power input / output interface 5 through the DC input / output voltage and current acquisition unit 2032 and identifies the attributes of the photovoltaic panel and the power input / output interface 5 according to the acquired voltage (the attributes are divided into: 1. Power input port, 2. Discharge port, 3. Not connected); the control module 202 acquires the voltage of the US through the USB input / output voltage and current acquisition unit 2033. The voltage of USB interface 4 is measured and the attributes of USB interface 4 are identified based on the measured voltage (the attributes are divided into: 1. Power input port, 2. Discharge port, 3. Not connected). If the attribute of USB interface 4 is not 'Not connected', the control module 202 collects and identifies the charging protocol supported by the device connected to USB interface 4 through the USB fast charging protocol acquisition unit 2036. After the control module 202 identifies all interface attributes and charging protocols, it controls the bidirectional DC power conversion unit 2034 and the PD bidirectional power conversion unit 2035 to perform power conversion of the corresponding power level and power flow direction according to the user-set parameters, so that the power flows from the power input port to the discharge port.
