[0014] The embodiment of the present application provides a charging station that has a wide range of applications and locations, such as hospitals, schools, co-working spaces, businesses, public consumption areas, and outdoor camping. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the module connection of the charging station according to the embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 1, the charging station 1 comprises an input interface 11, a conversion circuit 12, a power supply system 13, and a functional module 14. The input interface 11 receives an external power supply voltage via a relay cable, which, for example, is fixedly connected to a commercial power network such as a wall outlet or power strip, and the input interface is an AC interface. The conversion circuit 12 is electrically connected to the input interface 11 and is used to convert the external power supply voltage to an internal voltage suitable for the charging station 1. The input interface 11 is connected to the conversion circuit 12 located inside the charging station 1, which is for the purpose of realizing a charge / discharge function. For example, the charging station 1 is configured to take power from an external source via an AC interface and charge the product placed in the charging station 1 via the conversion circuit 12 and DC interface. In this case, the conversion circuit 12 can be set to convert AC to DC, meaning that the amount of power input from the input interface 11 passes through the conversion circuit 12 and is output from the DC interface. The power supply system 13 is electrically connected to the input interface 11 and supplies power to the functional modules 14 in the charging station 1 using the external power supply voltage. The input interface 11 is connected to the power supply system 13 located inside the charging station 1, which is to supply power to the various functional modules 14 located inside the charging station 1 and to ensure that the charging station 1 can perform its functions properly. The functional module 14 comprises a control circuit 141, a memory 142, and a wireless module 143. The control circuit 141 is used to control the charging and discharging of the rechargeable product and to realize a charge / discharge management function. The memory 142 is used to store data. The wireless module 143 is used to transmit data to and from the memory 142, upload the collected data to the cloud, and realize a data communication function.

[0015] Therefore, embodiments of the present application provide an intelligent charging station, a charging station system, and a control method thereof that integrate a charge and discharge management function, a data transmission function, and a data communication function. The charging station according to an embodiment of the present application can provide a charge and discharge function for a charging product that can charge one or more various portable electronic devices. In the process of connecting to the charging product and performing the charge and discharge function, the charging station transmits data on the status data of the charging product and the environmental data of the charging station by means such as physical connection or wireless connection, stores it in the memory, and uploads various data stored in the memory to the cloud by means of a wireless module, so as to realize the data communication function. Therefore, the control method according to an embodiment of the present application integrates a charge and discharge management function, a data transmission function, and a data communication function, has a wider application range, and is more intelligent.

[0016] Based on the above embodiments, preferably, the function module 14 further includes a sensor 144. The type of the sensor 144 can be determined based on the specific data type to be detected in actual applications. For example, if the requirement is to detect temperature, the sensor 144 is a temperature sensor; if the requirement is to detect humidity, the sensor 144 is a humidity sensor; if the requirement is to detect temperature and humidity, the sensor 144 is provided with a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor; if the requirement is to detect environmental elevation, the sensor 144 is further provided with an elevation sensor 144, etc.

[0017] Preferably, the functional module 14 further includes a data acquisition circuit 145. The charging station 1 can realize the function of managing and controlling the state of the charging station 1 based on the environmental data detected by the sensor 144. In one embodiment, the environmental data is fed back by the data acquisition circuit 145, stored in the memory 142, and further transmitted by the wireless module 143 to a user terminal (e.g., the APP of a mobile terminal) for the user to view the data and change the storage destination. In another embodiment, the state of the charging station 1 can be further controlled by the feedback and judgment of the environmental detection data. Exemplarily, it can be fed back by the data acquisition circuit 145 and the data can be stored in the memory 142. When the user views the data or changes the storage destination through the terminal, the data can be fed back by the data acquisition circuit 145 to the control circuit 141, and the control circuit 141 can control the on and off states of the power supply of the charging station 1 to realize the custom needs for the charging station.

[0018] Note that the type of the memory 142 in the embodiments of the present application can be determined based on the specific data type to be stored. Exemplarily, all or part of the collected data is stored in the memory 142 through the data acquisition circuit 145. The data in the memory 142 may be periodically refreshed and cleared to free up the storage space, or stored permanently, and a notification of update may be made by a set method after the storage space is insufficient. The memory 142 may be of the type of the memory 142 mounted on the circuit board, or may be an externally attachable memory card.

[0019] In each of the above embodiments, the type of wireless module 143 includes Bluetooth modules, Wireless Fidelity (WIFI) networks, cellular networks, Internet of Things (IoT) modules, Long Range Radio (LORA) modules, etc. The wireless module 143 may upload data stored in memory 142 or data collected in real time by data acquisition circuit 145 to the cloud to realize the processes and functions of data collection, storage, and analysis. The wireless module 143 is powered independently by the power system 13, thereby ensuring that the connection between the wireless module 143 and the cloud is continuously maintained or maintained for a short time when there is no power at the input terminal of the input interface 11 (including the commercial power network), continuously monitoring and detecting the data and operating status of the charging station 1, and preventing the charging station 1 from going offline.

[0020] Preferably, the sensor 144 provided in the charging station 1 can further monitor and detect the environment inside the charging station 1, for example, by monitoring and detecting the temperature of high-heat areas within the charging station 1 (e.g., the highest temperature point of the power system 13), the temperature of electronic components within the charging station 1 (e.g., the highest temperature point of the chip), and by monitoring, detecting, and analyzing its own data, it is also used to play a role in protecting the safety of the product.

[0021] Based on the above embodiments, preferably, the functional module 14 further comprises a digital timer 146. The type of digital timer 146 in the embodiments of the present invention can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present invention can collect various data of the charging station 1 by the digital timer 146, including the time that the charging station 1 has been continuously connected to a wall outlet and the time that the charging station 1 has not been operated on.

[0022] In one embodiment, preferably, the charging station 1 can implement a function to manage and control the state of the charging station 1 based on data from a digital timer 146. For example, the digital timer 146 works in conjunction with a data acquisition circuit 145 to determine that the charging station 1 and the charging product placed in the charging station 1 are in a long-term storage state if they have not been operating for a long period of time or if the output does not exceed the static power consumption. In the long-term storage state, the control circuit 141 automatically turns on the self-discharge function and automatically discharges the charging product to a safe amount of power, for example, 20% or less of its power, thereby achieving the purpose of safe storage and realizing the safety management function of the charging station 1.

[0023] In another embodiment, preferably, the charging station 1 can implement a function to manage and control the state of the charging station 1 based on data from a digital timer 146. For example, the digital timer 146 may work in conjunction with a control circuit 141 to shut off the wall outlet function after determining that the device has been stored for an extended period of time, thereby ensuring that the charging station 1 cannot draw power from the wall outlet before the user or system administrator manually turns it off. The charging station 1 does not replenish its own power, nor does it replenish the power of the charging product placed on it. The entire charging station 1, as a whole, does not replenish its power and is only consumed gradually over time until it is depleted, recharged, and the battery cells are reactivated. After the battery cells are reactivated, the entire system of the charging station 1 and the charging product is recoverable to its previous state. Therefore, the charging station 1 has a recoverable function after activation.

[0024] Based on the above embodiments, preferably, the functional module further comprises a wired module 147. The type of wired module 147 may include an interface of type RJ45 or USB, and these interface types have data transmission capabilities. In actual applications, the data stored in the memory 142, or the data acquired in real time by the data acquisition circuit 145, may be connected to a mobile terminal device via the wired module 147 and a network connection line, and checked by an APP on the mobile terminal device.

[0025] Based on the above embodiments, preferably, the charging station 1 may be connected to a terminal such as an app on a mobile device. In some embodiments, a user or system administrator can check various data of the charging station 1 (including data stored in memory 142 or data collected in real time by data acquisition circuit 145) wirelessly using a terminal such as an app on a mobile device. In some other embodiments, the charging station 1 may be connected to a mobile device by a wired module 147 and a network connection line, and the data can be checked by an app on the mobile device.

[0026] Embodiments of the present application further provide a charging station system. Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a charging station system according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 2, the charging station system comprises a charging station 1 according to any embodiment of the present application, a cloud 2, and a terminal 3. The operating principle and resulting effects of the charging station system are similar to those described in the above embodiments and will not be repeated.

[0027] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another charging station system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 3, the charging station system is It consists of multiple charging stations 1, a cloud 2, and a terminal 3. Multiple charging stations 1 are connected to cloud 2, multiple charging stations 1 are connected to terminal 3, cloud 2 is connected to terminal 3, During the operation of the charging station 1, the charging station 1 provides charge / discharge management functionality to at least one charging product, the charging product transmits data to the charging station 1 via at least one method of physical connection and / or wireless connection, thereby realizing a data transmission function, and the charging station 1 uploads the collected data to the cloud 2, thereby realizing a data communication function.

[0028] Cloud 2 contains cloud servers and cloud memory, and terminals are terminal devices or application programs (APPs) equipped with information processing functions. The roles of terminal users include system operators, system administrators, or consumer users. A system operator may consist of a single company or be shared by multiple companies. For example, if multiple charging stations 1 are deployed in a shared office space, the multiple companies sharing the space can simultaneously be configured as system operators and manage all charging stations 1 located within the space. A system administrator is a charging station provider and / or a cloud service provider, and both can set and manage the functions of charging stations 1 and the authority to release those functions according to actual demand. Consumer users may be users within a limited area or under limited usage conditions, and can use charging stations 1 and charging products in charging stations 1, or set usage period functions for them, using information processing terminals including mobile terminal APPs.

[0029] Preferably, by operating terminal 3, it is possible to complete mode management for each charging station, monitoring and detection of the operating status inside the charging station, inquiry to revenue calculation statements, and real-time monitoring of usage status.

[0030] The embodiments of the present application further provide a method for controlling a charging station system that can be applied to any embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figures 1 to 3, the method for controlling the charging station system is as follows: To establish communication connections between multiple charging stations 1 and cloud 2, To establish a communication connection between multiple charging stations 1 and terminal 3, This includes establishing a communication connection between Cloud 2 and Terminal 3, During the operation of the charging station 1, the charging station 1 provides charge / discharge management functionality to at least one charging product, the charging product transmits data to the charging station 1 via at least one method of physical connection and / or wireless connection, thereby realizing a data transmission function, and the charging station 1 uploads the collected data to the cloud 2, thereby realizing a data communication function.

[0031] Therefore, the control method according to the embodiment of the present application integrates charge / discharge management function, data transmission function, and data communication function into a single unit, resulting in a wider range of applications and greater intelligence.

[0032] Continuing to refer to Figures 1 to 3, and based on the above embodiments, preferably, the control method further includes a usage status collection function, specifically, The steps include obtaining initial combination information of charging station 1 and charging products placed in charging station 1, The serial numbers of the charging products placed in each charging station 1 are acquired in real time, compared and analyzed with the initial combination information, and it is determined whether the placement of the charging products has changed. Preferably, the serial numbers of the charging products placed in each charging station 1 are scanned. For example, the charging station 1 acquires the serial numbers of the charging products using a wireless communication method, and the serial numbers of the charging products are collected by a data acquisition circuit 145 provided in the charging station 1 and stored in the memory 142. Alternatively, if the charging station 1 is physically connected to the charging product via an interface provided in the charging slot of the charging station 1, the serial numbers of the charging products are acquired, the serial numbers of the charging products are collected by a data acquisition circuit 145 provided in the charging station 1 and stored in the memory 142. The procedure includes a step of refreshing the combination information of the charging station 1 and the charging product if the location of the charging product changes.

[0033] Preferably, in one embodiment, wireless communication methods including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi networks, cellular networks, IoT, LORA, etc., can be implemented by the wireless module 143. By operating in the background of the system, a system administrator can combine one charging station 1 with the charging products placed in the charging station 1, perform binding settings, and obtain initial combination information. For example, by having the wireless module 143 located inside the charging station 1 periodically scan the charging products placed in the charging station 1, the serial numbers of the charging products currently placed in the charging station 1 can be collected in real time, and by comparative analysis of the serial numbers, it can be determined whether some of the initially combined charging products are still in the charging station 1. If more than one charging station 1 is placed in one area, or if more than one charging station 1 is placed in an open space (e.g., inside a department store), a situation may occur where a user takes a charging product from the first charging station 1 and then places it in a second charging station 1. In such cases, the charging station system is pre-configured with a function to recombine the data upon scanning. For example, Bluetooth scanning can refresh the combination binding data in real time, i.e., refresh the combination information of charging station 1 and the charging product. This data is uploaded to a cloud server in real time for the system administrator to check and analyze the system's background data.

[0034] Continuing to refer to Figures 1 to 3, and based on the above embodiments, preferably, the control method further includes a state acquisition function, specifically, A step of collecting usage information for multiple charging products, including at least one of the following: the interface type of the charging product, the usage time of the charging product, and the type of protection triggered by the charging product. This includes the step of uploading usage information to Cloud 2.

[0035] Preferably, the method for collecting usage information is: The charging station 1 acquires usage information of the charging product via wireless communication, collects the usage information using a data acquisition circuit 145 provided within the charging station 1, and stores it in the memory 142. Alternatively, if the charging product is physically connected via an interface provided in the charging slot of the charging station 1, the system includes acquiring usage information, collecting the usage information using a data acquisition circuit 145 provided in the charging station 1, and storing it in the memory 142.

[0036] In one embodiment, the charging product is further provided with a second data acquisition circuit and a second memory. The second data acquisition circuit can store usage information in the second memory, such as which type of interface was activated, the length of use, and what protection was applied during the process of using the charging product. For product updates and maintenance, the charging station 1 can acquire the above data information via wireless connection methods such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi network, cellular network, IoT, and LORA, upload it to the cloud 2, and form usage information for the charging product. For product updates and maintenance, when the charging station 1 is physically connected to the charging product via an interface provided in the charging slot (including any form of interface having data transmission and / or charging functions such as PIN points and USB (e.g., USB-C)), the data acquisition circuit 145 of the charging station 1 can acquire the above data information, upload it to the cloud 2, and form usage information for the charging product. The system administrator can check and analyze the system's background data.

[0037] Referring further to Figures 1 to 3, and based on the above embodiments, preferably, the control method further includes a real-time monitoring and detection function, specifically, The charging station 1 collects monitoring and detection information for multiple charging products, including at least one of the following: the temperature of the battery cells of the charging product, the temperature at a temperature sampling point provided inside the charging product, the remaining power of the battery pack of the charging product, and the voltage of the battery pack of the charging product. Preferably, the charging station 1 acquires the monitoring and detection information by wireless communication, collects the monitoring and detection information using a data acquisition circuit 145 provided inside the charging station 1, and stores it in the memory 142, or, if the charging station 1 is physically connected to the charging product via an interface provided inside the charging slot of the charging station 1, it acquires the monitoring and detection information, collects the monitoring and detection information using a data acquisition circuit 145 provided inside the charging station 1, and stores it in the memory 142. This includes the step of uploading monitoring detection information to Cloud 2.

[0038] In one embodiment, communication is performed via an interface provided in the charging slot (including any form of interface having data transmission and / or charging functions such as PIN points and USB (e.g., USB-C)), and / or monitoring and detection information is acquired via a wireless communication method (including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi network, cellular network, IoT, LORA, etc.), and the data is interacted with in real time. Product data of the charging product inserted back into the charging slot (including battery cell temperature, temperature at temperature sampling point, remaining power of the battery pack, battery pack voltage, etc., which can be pre-configured by the system administrator for specific needs) can be uploaded in real time by the platform of the charging station 1, achieving the objective of monitoring the operating status of the charging station 1 in real time. The system administrator can check and analyze the system's background data.

[0039] Continuing to refer to Figures 1 to 3, and based on the above embodiments, preferably, the control method further includes a self-discharge function, specifically, A digital timer 146 installed in the charging station 1 determines whether the product to be charged placed in the charging station 1 has been stored for an extended period of time. Preferably, if the product has been stored for a long period of time, the method includes the step of discharging the rechargeable product to a safe level of power by the control of a control circuit.

[0040] Preferably, the method for determining whether a charging product has been stored for a long period of time is: This includes the charging product being in storage for an extended period of time if the charging product is not in operation or if the output does not exceed the static power consumption for a period of time exceeding the set time.

[0041] In one embodiment, a digital timer 146 installed inside the charging station 1 and a data acquisition circuit 145 work together to determine that the charging station 1 and the product placed in it have not been in operation for a long period of time, or that the output does not exceed the static power consumption, indicating that the product is in a long-term storage state. After this determination, the charging station 1 may automatically turn on its self-discharge function using its control circuit 141, and automatically discharge the product to a safe level of power, for example, 20% or less, thereby achieving the objective of safe storage.

[0042] Continuing to refer to Figures 1 to 3, and based on the above embodiments, preferably, the control method further supports the wall outlet function that is connected for a long time, and specifically, A digital timer 146 installed in the charging station 1 determines whether or not the product to be charged placed in the charging station 1 has been in storage for a long period of time. The system includes the following steps: if stored for a long period of time, the wall outlet function is shut off and the charging station 1 stops charging the product; if the power of the product and / or charging station 1 runs out, the product and / or charging station 1 are re-energized, the battery cells are reactivated, and the charging station system returns to its initial state; or, if the power of the product and charging station is consumed to a set value, the product and charging station 1 are re-energized, their full power is restored, and the charging station 1 returns to its initial state. The set value can be set by the system administrator. This set value prevents the power of the product and / or charging station 1 from running out, which is advantageous for improving the lifespan of the battery cells. This is because the lifespan of the battery cells is reduced when the power of the battery product is completely consumed.

[0043] In one embodiment, the control method for the charging station system is as follows: A digital timer 146 installed in the charging station 1 determines whether the product to be charged placed in the charging station 1 has been in storage for an extended period of time, The present invention further includes, if the product has been stored for an extended period of time, and the length of time it has been stored exceeds a first length of time, discharging the rechargeable product to a safe level of power through the control of a control circuit.

[0044] In a further embodiment, the control method for the charging station system is: A digital timer 146 installed in the charging station 1 determines whether the product to be charged placed in the charging station 1 has been in storage for an extended period of time, The system further includes the following: if the product is stored for an extended period of time, and the length of time in this extended period exceeds a second length of time, the wall outlet function is shut off, and the charging station 1 stops charging the product; if the power of the product and / or the charging station 1 runs out, the product and / or the charging station 1 are re-energized, the battery cells are reactivated, and the charging station system returns to its initial state; or, if the power of the product and the charging station 1 is consumed to a set value, the product and / or the charging station 1 are re-energized, their full power is restored, and the charging station 1 returns to its initial state.

[0045] The setting value is determined by the system administrator. This setting value prevents the charging product and / or charging station 1 from running out of power, which is advantageous for improving the battery cell lifespan. Of these, the second time length is longer than the first time length.

[0046] Preferably, the method for determining whether a charging product has been stored for a long period of time is: This includes determining that a charging product has been in storage for an extended period of time if the charging product is not in operation or does not output power exceeding static power consumption for a set period of time.

[0047] In one embodiment, the digital timer, in conjunction with the control circuit 141, determines that the station is in a long-term storage state and then shuts off the wall outlet function. That is, unless the user or system administrator manually turns off this state, the charging station 1 cannot draw power from the wall outlet. The charging station 1 is not replenished with power, and at the same time, it does not replenish the power of the charging product placed on the charging station 1. The entire charging station 1 is not replenished with power and is only slowly consumed over time until it is depleted, recharged, and the battery cells are activated.

[0048] Continuing to refer to Figures 1 to 3, and based on the above embodiments, preferably, the control method further includes a charge management function, specifically, The real-time power consumption of multiple charging products is collected, preferably by the charging station 1, which acquires the real-time power consumption of the charging products by wireless communication, collects the real-time power consumption by a data acquisition circuit 145 provided in the charging station 1 and stores it in the memory 142, or, if the charging station 1 is physically connected to the charging products by an interface provided in the charging slot of the charging station 1, it acquires the real-time power consumption, collects the real-time power consumption by a data acquisition circuit 145 provided in the charging station 1 and stores it in the memory 142. The process includes the step of matching different charging speeds for charging products with different real-time power levels, based on a pre-set charging management policy, using the control circuit 141 to extend the lifespan of the battery cells and increase the lifespan of the charging product.

[0049] Preferably, the pre-configured charging management policy sets at least two power ranges and sets different charging speeds within each power range, where the higher the power, the lower the charging speed.

[0050] For example, a pre-configured charging management policy is: If the real-time power consumption of the charging product is greater than the first set power consumption (e.g., 90% of the total power consumption), it will charge at the first charging speed (e.g., 10W). This includes charging at a second charging speed (e.g., 90W) if the real-time power consumption of the charging product is less than a second set power consumption (e.g., 20% of the total power consumption), Of these, the first set power amount is greater than the second set power amount, and the first charging speed is less than the second charging speed.

[0051] In one embodiment, the charging station 1 is equipped with a data acquisition circuit 145 that works in conjunction with a control circuit 141 located inside the station. When a product is placed in the charging slot of the charging station 1, the data acquisition circuit 145 can acquire the real-time power level of the product in real time. A pre-configured charging management policy (for example, set by a system administrator) can be used to control the charging speed of products with different power levels by the control circuit 141. For example, to meet the user's need for quick retrieval and use and to increase the overall utility of the charging station 1, the charging power may be set to 10W when the product's power level is 90%, and to 90W when the product's power level is 20%. That is, products with low power levels are rapidly replenished, and products with high power levels are replenished slowly. This not only meets the user's need for quick retrieval and use but also complies with battery cell usage regulations.

[0052] Furthermore, the specific numerical values ​​of the first and second set power amounts in the embodiment of this application can be set according to the demand in actual applications. The number of set power amounts (i.e., the stages of the power range) in the embodiment of this application can be set to one or more different power value settings depending on the actual usage scenario, and can be specifically set by the charging station administrator.

[0053] Referring further to Figures 1 to 3, and based on the above embodiments, preferably, the process of determining the charging speed further includes determining the charging speed in conjunction with the temperature of the charging station 1 and / or the product being charged, and the energy level of the product being charged. In this way, the temperature and energy level can be determined simultaneously, improving the safety of the system. Specifically, this is as follows.

[0054] A data acquisition circuit 145 installed in the charging station 1 acquires temperature information, and the charging speed of the charging product is matched based on the temperature information and the real-time power consumption of the charging product. Alternatively, the charging station 1 acquires temperature information of the product to be charged via wireless communication, collects the temperature information using a data acquisition circuit 145 provided within the charging station 1, and stores it in the memory 142, or, if physically connected to the product to be charged via an interface provided within the charging slot of the charging station 1, it acquires temperature information, collects the temperature information using a data acquisition circuit 145 provided within the charging station 1, stores it in the memory 142, and matches the charging speed of the product to be charged based on the temperature of the product and the real-time power consumption of the product.

[0055] Referring again to Figures 1 to 3, and based on the above embodiments, preferably, the charging management function is: The control circuit 141 further includes matching different charging speeds for each of the different charging products based on a pre-set charging management policy, so that each charging product is charged independently and does not affect the others.

[0056] Preferably, the pre-configured charging management policy may acquire the power demand of the charging product and charge the charging product based on that power demand.

[0057] Continuing to refer to Figures 1 to 3, and based on the above embodiments, preferably, the control method further includes an environmental detection function, and in one embodiment, specifically, A sensor installed in the charging station 1 detects environmental information, preferably including temperature information, humidity information, haze concentration information, and environmental altitude information. The process includes the step of collecting environmental information using a data acquisition circuit 145 provided in the charging station 1 and storing it in a memory 142.

[0058] Preferably, this further includes synchronizing environmental information with terminal 3.

[0059] Preferably, the data acquisition circuit 145 provides feedback to the control circuit 141, and the control circuit 141 controls the operating state of the charging station 1, and preferably the operating state of the charging station 1 includes power on and power off.

[0060] Preferably, the data acquisition circuit 145 feeds back to the control circuit 141, and the control circuit 141 controls the operating state of the charging station 1. If the detected ambient temperature is higher than the first set temperature, the charging station 1 is controlled to reduce the charging power. If the detected ambient temperature is higher than the second set temperature (which is higher than the first set temperature), the charging station 1 is controlled to shut off the power. The system includes, at least one of the following: if the detected ambient temperature is greater than a third set temperature which is higher than a second set temperature, it controls an emergency bag provided in the charging station 1 to open and release cooling material.

[0061] In one embodiment, sensors are provided inside the charging station 1, and the type of sensor can be customized to the specific data type to be detected in the actual application. For example, if temperature and humidity are to be detected, temperature and humidity can be monitored and detected by providing a humidity sensor and a temperature sensor inside the charging station 1. Also, for example, if ambient altitude is to be detected, ambient altitude can be detected by providing an ambient altitude sensor inside the charging station 1. Also, for example, if haze is to be detected, haze can be detected by providing a haze sensor inside the charging station 1. After it is detected that haze has occurred inside the charging station 1, the control circuit 141 immediately shuts off the input to the charging station 1, shuts off charging of the product to the charging station 1, and releases the cooling material in the emergency bag. At the same time, alarm information is sent to the APP on the mobile terminal of the user or system administrator.

[0062] In one embodiment, a temperature sensor is installed inside the charging station 1 to monitor and detect the temperature. The charging station 1 is further equipped with a control circuit 141. If the monitoring detects that the environment inside the charging station 1 exceeds a certain temperature value (first set temperature), the control circuit 141 controls the charging station 1 to automatically reduce the charging power, and the charging speed of all products to be charged decreases. The charging station 1 can still be used normally, only the charging speed has slowed down. If the monitoring detects that the environment inside the charging station 1 exceeds a slightly higher temperature value (second set temperature), the control circuit 141 controls the charging station 1 to automatically stop operation and cut off the power, so that the charging station 1 stops charging and simultaneously stops charging products. If the monitoring detects that the environment inside the charging station 1 exceeds an even higher temperature value (third set temperature), the emergency bag inside the charging station 1 opens automatically to release the stored cooling substance (including a cooling substance that is harmless to humans and the environment, such as dry powder), thereby achieving the effect of early warning, preemptive cooling, and preventing further incidents such as the occurrence of fires. The above temperature detection data may be pre-configured (including by a device such as a mobile device app) and controlled by the control circuit 141 of the charging station 1. For example, if the temperature sensor monitors and detects that the environment inside the charging station 1 exceeds 100 degrees Celsius, the charging station 1 is controlled to automatically stop operation and cut off the power, so that the charging station 1 stops charging and simultaneously stops charging the product. Preferably, if the monitoring detects that the environment inside the charging station 1 exceeds 130 degrees Celsius, the emergency bag inside the charging station 1 opens to release the stored cooling substance (including a cooling substance that is harmless to humans and the environment, such as dry powder), thereby achieving the effect of early warning, preemptive cooling, and preventing further incidents such as the occurrence of a fire. At the same time, alarm information is sent to the app on the user's or system administrator's mobile device.

[0063] Preferably, if only environmental detection data needs to be collected, the data can be fed back by the data acquisition circuit 145 and stored in the memory 142, and the user can view the data or change the storage location using a device such as a mobile device app.

[0064] Preferably, in addition to collecting environmental detection data, if it is necessary to further control the state of the charging station 1 based on feedback and judgment of the environmental detection data, the data can be stored in the memory 142 via feedback from the data acquisition circuit 145. At the same time, the data acquisition circuit 145 can provide feedback to the control circuit 141, allowing the user to view the data or change its storage location via a terminal such as a mobile device app. This allows the power on and off state of the charging station 1 to be controlled to meet the custom needs of the user or system administrator, which is advantageous in ensuring the safety of use, usage policies, operating time, or other aspects of the charging station 1 in different environments.

[0065] Referring further to Figures 1 to 3, and based on the above embodiments, preferably, the control method further includes an environmental detection function and an early warning mechanism function, and in one embodiment, specifically, A step of detecting the operation parameter information of charging station 1 in real time, The process includes the steps of collecting operational parameter information using a data acquisition circuit 145 provided in the charging station 1, storing it in memory 142, and / or uploading it to cloud 2.

[0066] Preferably, after detecting the operation parameter information of the charging station 1 in real time, A control circuit 141 located within the charging station 1 compares the operation parameter information with a pre-set data model, and if the data is abnormal, it issues an alarm. And / or, if an anomaly is detected through analysis by Cloud 2, the system further includes sending a warning message to Terminal 3.

[0067] Preferably, in actual applications, the specific data types to be detected can be customized. For example, temperature monitoring and detection can be performed by installing a temperature sensor inside the charging station 1. For example, if data such as temperature, voltage, and current are monitored and detected in real time according to demand, the data acquisition circuit 145 installed in the charging station 1 can store the monitored and detected data in real time in the memory 142, or upload it to the cloud in real time wirelessly. At the same time, the control circuit 141 installed in the charging station 1 compares the real-time data with a pre-set data model and, based on the abnormal data situation determined by the comparison of the models, sends warning information to the administrator in a timely manner to avoid potential safety hazards. The method of alerting the user to the warning information may be to distinguish between different types of data information by installing a buzzer inside the charging station 1 and to emit different sound alarms, or it may be a method in which the data is fed back to a cloud database wirelessly, analyzed, and if an abnormality is found, a warning message is sent to the terminal, for example, by an app on a mobile terminal, thereby alerting the user or system administrator with a message and achieving the purpose of early warning.

[0068] Preferably, the charging station 1 can connect to a mobile device's app by wireless or wired means, and the user or system administrator can acquire and analyze real-time data and perform basic management operations on the charging station 1 using the mobile device's app.

[0069] To facilitate the system administrator's management of charging station 1, the system administrator can develop a verification policy regarding the removal and use of charging products. For example, when a user removes a charging product from charging station 1 to use it, a multi-digit password is displayed on the charging product. The user verifies this password by entering it into an app on their mobile device. The mobile device app and the charging product then verify pairing via a wireless connection such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi network, cellular network, IoT, or LORA. After successful pairing, the product becomes usable. Simultaneously, charging station 1 may be configured to monitor the removal and use process. Throughout this process, the verification of the serial number of the removed and used charging product, and any problems that occur during the process, are each recorded once.

[0070] To facilitate the system administrator's management of charging station 1, the system administrator can formulate policies regarding the use of charging products. Based on these policies, the administrator can use a terminal to perform real-time monitoring and data acquisition for modules including managing the mode of charging station 1, monitoring and detecting its operating status, querying revenue statements, real-time monitoring of usage, and the email system. At the same time, modules that are open to users may be selected as user-authorized modules. For example, the system administrator can manage the mode using terminal 3. The system administrator can formulate usage policies into various policies, including a user-paid usage system, a user-free usage system, and different-location, different-charge policies. For example, the system administrator can monitor the operating status using terminal 3, and can acquire in real time whether any charging station 1 at any location is operating normally, and can basically monitor its safety. For example, the system administrator can verify revenue statements using terminal 3, and if the system administrator sets it to user-paid usage mode, the terminal can verify revenue statements for each time period. For example, the system administrator can use a terminal to perform real-time monitoring and extraction of data for charging station 1 and charging products to analyze the safety status of charging station 1, the usage status of charging products, etc. During the user's usage process, the system administrator can configure an email alert function. For example, users may need to register or pay a fee to use the service, and both registration and payment information can be pushed to the user's device and the system administrator's device via the email system.

[0071] Referring again to Figures 1 to 3, and based on the above embodiments, preferably, the charging station 1 and the charging product are further equipped with a firmware version update function. For example, after receiving an update command for the charging station, the charging station 1 communicates with the cloud 2 or connects to the administrator APP via a network cable to obtain a firmware version update installation package, and the charging station autonomously updates the firmware version. In this case, the update command for the charging station received by the charging station 1 may be one that the system administrator has sent to the charging station 1 via a cloud server or a mobile terminal APP. After receiving an update command for the charging product, the charging station 1 communicates with the cloud 2 or connects to the administrator APP via a network cable to obtain a firmware version update installation package, and if the charging product communicates with the charging station 1 wirelessly via a wireless module 143 or connects to the charging interface via a wired module 147, the charging station autonomously updates the firmware version. In this case, the update command for the charging product received by the charging station 1 may be one that the system administrator has sent to the charging station 1 or the charging product via a cloud server or a mobile terminal APP. As can be seen below, the embodiment of the present invention enables background connection and updating of the charging station 1, and enables the charging product and the charging station to be connected and the firmware version to be updated.
