[0002] Power tool battery pack chargers are commonly categorized into single-pack chargers and dual-pack chargers, depending on the number of charging ports. With the widespread adoption of consumer electronics, some single-pack chargers have integrated USB ports for charging 3C electronic devices, evolving from single-function chargers to multi-functional chargers (see patent TWM584567U). However, this patent only discloses the functional logic of AC power input through the AC port being processed by the power module and then outputting DC power from the battery pack ports and the USB port; the specific circuit structure is not further explained. Extending this functionality to dual-pack chargers would require at least two battery pack ports and one USB port at the output end. Achieving stable output from multiple ports is a problem to be solved. Furthermore, the states of the two battery packs connected to the ports may differ, potentially leading to mutual charging between the battery packs. These issues hinder the implementation of multi-functional dual-pack charger solutions. Utility Model Content

[0039] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0040] This utility model embodiment provides a charger 1, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the circuit principle is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it includes: an AC input interface 11 for connecting to an AC power source, a USB interface 12 for connecting to an electrical device, and a first battery pack interface 13 and a second battery pack interface 14 for connecting to a battery pack; it also includes:

[0041] The primary power conversion module 15 is connected to the AC input interface 11, receives AC power input and converts it into first DC power through primary rectification, filtering and step-down;

[0042] The first voltage regulating module 16, which is provided corresponding to the first battery pack interface 13, is used to process the input DC power and output it to the outside from the first battery pack interface 13;

[0043] The second voltage regulating module 17, which is provided corresponding to the second battery pack interface 14, is used to process the input DC power and output it to the outside from the second battery pack interface 14;

[0044] The third voltage regulation module 18, which is provided corresponding to the USB interface 12, is used to process the input DC power for output from the USB interface 12.

[0045] Controller 19 is connected to control the first voltage regulating module 16, the second voltage regulating module 17 and the third voltage regulating module 18;

[0046] The first voltage regulating module 16 and the second voltage regulating module 17 are both DC-DC voltage regulating modules with isolation function.

[0047] Optionally, the mechanical structures of the first battery pack interface 13 and the second battery pack interface 14 can be the same or different. That is, the two battery packs connected to the charger 1 can be the same battery pack or different battery packs, and different combination schemes can be selected according to different usage requirements.

[0048] In this embodiment, the mechanical structures of the first battery pack interface 13 and the second battery pack interface 14 are the same, that is, the interfaces of the two battery packs connected to the charger 1 are at least the same, but the capacities of the battery packs themselves may be different.

[0049] In this embodiment, the primary power conversion module 15 is connected to the AC input interface 11, receives AC input, and converts it into first DC power through primary rectification, filtering, and step-down. Specifically, the AC power is converted into pulsating DC power through a rectifier bridge, then filtered by capacitors and inductors, and finally stepped down by transformer 151 to generate smooth first DC power.

[0050] Optionally, the AC input interface 11 can be directly connected to AC mains power (such as 220V AC power) or an external AC power source via an AC cable to receive AC power. More preferably, the AC input interface 11 can allow wide voltage input, such as 100V-240V, to adapt to global power grid standards.

[0051] Optionally, the devices connected to the USB interface 12 include, but are not limited to, mobile devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and computers.

[0052] Optionally, both the first voltage regulating module 16 and the second voltage regulating module 17 are bidirectional DC-DC voltage regulating modules.

[0053] In this embodiment, when the AC input interface 11 is not connected to an external power source, the two battery packs can output to the USB interface 12 in reverse through the adjustment of the first voltage regulating module 16 and the second voltage regulating module 17. The bidirectional DC-DC voltage regulating module can realize this function.

[0054] Optionally, the first voltage regulating module 16 includes a first bidirectional DC-DC chip and a first boost / buck circuit, wherein the first bidirectional DC-DC chip has a built-in boost / buck driver.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first boost / buck circuit can adjust the output power of the first battery pack interface 13. Specifically, the first bidirectional DC-DC chip (with built-in boost / buck driver) drives the first boost / buck circuit to work according to the charging requirements of the first battery pack. If the first battery pack needs to be bucked, the first boost / buck circuit is adjusted in buck mode; if it needs to be boosted, it works in boost mode, ultimately achieving a stable output of voltage and current from the first battery pack interface 13.

[0056] Optionally, the second voltage regulating module 17 includes a second bidirectional DC-DC chip and a second boost / buck circuit, wherein the second bidirectional DC-DC chip has a built-in boost / buck driver.

[0057] In this embodiment, the second boost / buck circuit can adjust the output power of the second battery pack interface 14. Specifically, the second bidirectional DC-DC chip (with built-in boost / buck driver) drives the second boost / buck circuit to work according to the charging requirements of the second battery pack. If the second battery pack needs to be bucked, the second boost / buck circuit is adjusted in buck mode; if it needs to be boosted, it works in boost mode, ultimately achieving stable output of voltage and current of the second battery pack interface 14.

[0058] Optionally, the third voltage regulation module 18 includes a SOC chip and a third boost / buck circuit, with the SOC chip having a built-in boost / buck driver.

[0059] In this embodiment, the third boost / buck circuit can adjust the output power of the USB interface 12. Specifically, the SOC chip (with built-in boost / buck driver) drives the third boost / buck circuit to work according to the charging requirements of the device connected to the USB interface 12. If the charging device needs to step down, the third boost / buck circuit adjusts in buck mode; if it needs to step up, it works in boost mode, ultimately achieving a stable output of voltage and current from the USB interface 12.

[0060] Optionally, the SOC chip integrates the PD / QC fast charging protocol, which can automatically match the PD / QC protocol to achieve output from the USB interface 12.

[0061] Among them, PD protocol, or USB Power Delivery protocol, is a power transfer protocol based on the USB Type-C interface. It enables higher power transfer (up to 100W or even higher) and supports dynamic adjustment of output voltage and current to meet the charging needs of different devices. For example, some laptops can obtain 20V, 3A or even higher power charging support through the PD protocol.

[0062] QC protocol, or Quick Charge protocol, is a fast charging protocol developed by Qualcomm, primarily used in mobile devices that support Qualcomm chips. Different versions of the QC protocol support different combinations of output voltage and current. For example, QC 3.0 can dynamically adjust the voltage in 0.2V increments within a range of 3.6V-20V to achieve fast charging.

[0063] When a device is plugged into USB port 12, the SOC chip first identifies the connected device. By detecting the communication signals between the device and the port, the SOC chip determines the type of fast charging protocol supported by the device (whether it is the PD protocol or the QC protocol, and the specific protocol version). For example, the SOC chip will detect specific communication messages sent by the device and determine the protocol supported by the device based on the protocol identification information in the message.

[0064] Once the fast charging protocol supported by the device is identified, the SOC chip will initiate a protocol handshake process with the device. During this process, the SOC chip will communicate with the device according to the corresponding protocol standard, exchanging charging parameter information, such as the output voltage and current required by the device. For example, for devices supporting the PD protocol, the chip will negotiate the output voltage and current with the device to determine the optimal charging power. For instance, if the device sends a request for 15V / 3A charging power, the SOC chip will respond and adjust accordingly.

[0065] Based on the handshake result, the SOC chip adjusts the output voltage and current of USB interface 12 to meet the charging needs of the device. If the device supports the PD protocol and requests 15V / 3A charging power, the SOC chip controls the third boost / buck circuit to adjust the output voltage to 15V and limit the output current to within 3A, achieving fast charging.

[0066] As mentioned above, it can be understood that USB port 12 complies with the PD / QC fast charging protocol and has a maximum output of no more than 100W, for example, a maximum output of 45W. It has charging powers of 5V / 3A, 9V / 3A, 12V / 3A, 15V / 3A, and 20V / 2.25A.

[0067] Optionally, the primary power conversion module 15 includes a flyback switching power supply and a transformer 151; the flyback switching power supply includes a flyback PWM control chip 152 and a first switching transistor 153. The flyback PWM control chip 152 is adapted to generate a PWM signal to control the on / off of the first switching transistor 153, and works with the transformer 151 to achieve energy conversion. The first switching transistor 153 is a gallium nitride MOS device.

[0068] Optionally, the charger 1 also includes a feedback control circuit 101, which is connected to the output of the flyback PWM control chip 152 and the primary power conversion module 15. The feedback control circuit 101 is used to receive the feedback signal from the output of the primary power conversion module 15 to adjust the duty cycle of the first switching transistor 153. The feedback control circuit 101 is also connected to the controller 19.

[0069] In this embodiment, when the PWM signal generated by the flyback PWM control chip 152 is high, the first switch 153 (such as a gallium nitride MOS device) is turned on; when the PWM signal becomes low, the first switch 153 (such as a gallium nitride MOS device) is turned off.

[0070] Optionally, the charger 1 further includes a secondary power conversion module 104, which is disposed between the primary power conversion module 15 and the first voltage regulation module 16, between the primary power conversion module 15 and the second voltage regulation module 17, and between the primary power conversion module 15 and the third voltage regulation module 18. It is used to receive the first DC power input and convert it into the second DC power through secondary rectification and filtering.

[0071] In this embodiment, the feedback control circuit 101 is electrically connected to the output terminals of the flyback PWM control chip 152 and the primary power conversion module 15, specifically to the output terminal of the secondary power conversion module 104. The feedback control circuit 101 samples the second DC current as a sampling signal. After the sampling signal is fed back to the flyback PWM control chip 152, it is compared with the reference voltage inside the chip. If there is a deviation between the sampling signal and the reference voltage, the flyback PWM control chip 152 will generate a corresponding control signal based on this deviation to adjust the duty cycle of the first switching transistor 153 to adapt to load changes.

[0072] For example, when the sampled signal is lower than the reference voltage, the flyback PWM control chip 152 will increase the duty cycle of the first switching transistor 153; when the sampled signal is higher than the reference voltage, the flyback PWM control chip 152 will decrease the duty cycle of the first switching transistor 153.

[0073] It is understandable that in actual operation, the connected load (such as battery pack and USB device) of charger 1 may change. Different loads have different power requirements. When the load changes, the output current will also change. If it is not adjusted, the output voltage will be affected. By adjusting the duty cycle of the first switching transistor 153, the flyback switching power supply can dynamically adjust the output power according to the load change, thereby ensuring the stability of the output voltage.

[0074] Furthermore, gallium nitride (GaN) MOS devices can withstand higher voltages, making them well-suited for high-voltage input flyback switching power supplies. They can achieve higher voltage conversion ratios while ensuring safe and reliable operation. Moreover, GaN MOS devices have low on-resistance, resulting in minimal power loss when current flows through the switching transistor in the on-state. Therefore, using GaN MOS devices in flyback switching power supplies can effectively reduce transistor heat generation, improve power supply conversion efficiency, and also provide high switching speeds, allowing flyback switching power supplies to operate at higher frequencies. This, in turn, reduces the size of magnetic components such as the transformer 151, enabling miniaturized power supply designs.

[0075] Optionally, a second switch 105 is provided between the first voltage regulating module 16 and the secondary power conversion module 104. Its on / off state directly controls whether the battery pack at the first battery pack interface 13 is charged. When the second switch 105 is on, the second DC power output by the secondary power conversion module 104 can charge the first battery pack through the first battery pack interface 13; when the second switch 105 is off, the charging path is cut off, and the first battery pack stops charging.

[0076] Optionally, a third switch 106 is provided between the second voltage regulating module 17 and the secondary power conversion module 104. Its on / off state directly controls whether the battery pack at the second battery pack interface 14 is charged. When the third switch 106 is on, the second DC power output by the secondary power conversion module 104 can charge the second battery pack through the second battery pack interface 14; when the third switch 106 is off, the charging path is cut off, and the second battery pack stops charging.

[0077] Optionally, a fourth switch 107 is provided between the third voltage regulating module 18 and the secondary power conversion module 104 to control the discharge of the USB interface 12. When the fourth switch 107 is turned on, the second DC power can supply power to connected devices supporting the PD protocol through the USB interface 12; when the fourth switch 107 is turned off, the USB interface 12 stops outputting power.

[0078] Optionally, the primary power conversion module 15 also includes an EMI circuit 154, which is connected to the AC input interface 11 and is used to suppress electromagnetic interference.

[0079] Optionally, the primary power conversion module 15 also includes an RCD snubber circuit 155. The RCD snubber circuit 155 is used to suppress voltage spikes and protect the first switching transistor 153 from breakdown. The RCD snubber circuit 155 can absorb and dissipate the energy of the voltage spike, so that the voltage across the first switching transistor 153 is always kept within its withstand voltage range, thus avoiding breakdown damage caused by excessively high voltage spikes.

[0080] Optionally, the charger 1 also includes a parameter detection unit 102, which is connected to the controller 19 and is used to detect the electrical parameters at the first battery pack interface 13, the second battery pack interface 14, and the USB interface 12 in real time.

[0081] In this embodiment, electrical parameters may include voltage, current, and other electrical parameters. By collecting these electrical parameters, the charging and discharging status of the battery pack and the charging status of the electrical equipment can be fed back in real time.

[0082] Optionally, the charger 1 is also provided with a switching button 103, which is connected to the controller 19. When the AC input interface 11 is not connected to an external power source, and the first battery pack interface 13 and / or the second battery pack interface 14 are connected to the battery pack, the switching button 103 is used to control the battery pack's power output to the USB interface 12. It can be understood that the function of the battery pack to output its own power to the outside through the USB interface 12 is only activated when the switching button 103 is pressed.

[0083] In this embodiment, the switching button 103 is provided to improve the safety of the charging combination and to save some power consumption because the battery pack discharge circuit is in a dormant state before the switching button 103 is pressed.

[0084] Optionally, the number of USB ports 12 may be multiple, including USB-A ports and / or USB-C ports, to meet the charging needs of more 3C electronic devices.

[0085] In this embodiment, there are three USB ports 12, including one USB-A port and two USB-C ports, which can be adapted to most 3C electronic devices on the market.

[0086] Optionally, the transformer 151 is preferably a high-frequency transformer with an operating frequency ≥20kHz, such as 50kHz. Furthermore, in order to reduce the size of the charger 1, the high-frequency transformer can be a planar transformer.

[0087] Another embodiment of this utility model provides a charging assembly, see reference. Figure 2 It includes a charger 1, a first battery pack 200 and a second battery pack 300, the first battery pack 200 is connected to the first battery pack interface 13, and the second battery pack 300 is connected to the second battery pack interface 14.

[0088] When there is no input at the AC input interface 11, the power of the first battery pack 200 can be output to the USB interface 12 through the first voltage regulating module 16 and the third voltage regulating module 18, and the power of the second battery pack 300 can be output to the USB interface 12 through the second voltage regulating module 17 and the third voltage regulating module 18. The controller 19 identifies the electrical parameters of the first battery pack 200 and the second battery pack 300, and adjusts the first voltage regulating module 16 and the second voltage regulating module 17 according to the electrical parameters of the first battery pack 200 and the second battery pack 300, so that the sum of the power output by the first voltage regulating module 16 and the second voltage regulating module 17 is constant.

[0089] Among them, the first voltage regulating module 16 and the third voltage regulating module 18 achieve constant total output power through cooperation with the second switch tube 105 and the third switch tube 106. There are multiple specific output strategies for the battery pack.

[0090] The output strategy can be: the first battery pack 200 and the second battery pack 300 discharge simultaneously, with the battery pack with higher charge outputting more power.

[0091] The output strategy can also be: one of the first battery pack 200 and the second battery pack 300 discharges while the other does not discharge. When the battery pack discharges to the point where it can no longer maintain the rated power, the other battery pack takes over the discharge.
