Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a power management system, and more particularly to a power management system for wireless power supply. [Background technology]

[0002] An electric assist carrier (electric assist wheelchair, electric assist bicycle, electric assist kick scooter, electric scooter, etc.) is a mobility carrier that uses battery energy as a power source to assist the user's output. The battery of an electric assist carrier needs to be charged. The battery of existing electric assist carriers can be charged using a charging pile.

[0003] However, the existing charging mechanism does not perform management based on the power supply of the charging pile and the remaining power of the electric assist carrier, and therefore the existing charging mechanism cannot provide energy saving or efficient electrical energy management. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The present invention provides a power management system that can provide an energy-saving and efficient wireless power management mechanism. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The power management system of the present invention includes a plurality of control devices, a wireless charging platform, and a remote monitoring device. The plurality of control devices are each provided on one of a plurality of electric assist carriers. The wireless charging platform communicates wirelessly with the plurality of control devices. The wireless charging platform wirelessly charges at least one of the plurality of electric assist carriers. The remote monitoring device communicates with the wireless charging platform to receive remaining power of the plurality of electric assist carriers. The remote monitoring device controls the power supply operation of the wireless charging platform based on the remaining power and the platform power supply upper limit. A first control device of the plurality of control devices is provided on a first electric assist carrier of the plurality of electric assist carriers. The wireless charging platform wirelessly supplies power to the first electric assist carrier in response to a first command from the first control device. The wireless charging platform wirelessly supplies power to at least one of the other electric assist carriers in response to a second command from the first control device. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] Based on the above, the power management system can control the power supply operation of the wireless charging platform based on the remaining power and the platform power supply upper limit. The wireless charging platform can also use the battery energy of the first electric assist carrier to wirelessly supply power to at least one of the other electric assist carriers. In this way, the power management system can provide an energy-saving and efficient wireless power management mechanism. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] 1 is a schematic diagram of a power management system according to a first embodiment of the present invention; [Figure 2] FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a power management system according to a second embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] In the following description, reference numerals of elements are used to refer to the same or similar elements shown in different drawings. These embodiments are only a part of the present invention and do not disclose all possible implementations of the present invention. Rather, these embodiments are merely examples within the scope of the present patent application.

[0009] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a power management system according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the power management system 100 includes control devices 110_1 and 110_2, a wireless charging platform 120, and a remote monitoring device 130. The control devices 110_1 and 110_2 are provided in the electric assist carriers EV1 and EV2, respectively. In this embodiment, the control device 110_1 is provided in the electric assist carrier EV1. The control device 110_2 is provided in the electric assist carrier EV2.

[0010] In this embodiment, the wireless charging platform 120 wirelessly communicates with the control devices 110_1 and 110_2. The wireless charging platform 120 wirelessly charges at least one of the electric assist carriers EV1 and EV2 in any desired manner. In this embodiment, the wireless charging platform 120 can perform different power supply operations based on commands from the control devices 110_1 and 110_2. Taking the electric assist carrier EV1 as an example, the control device 110_1 can provide one of a first command CMD1 and a second command CMD2. The wireless charging platform 120 wirelessly supplies power to the electric assist carrier EV1 in response to the first command CMD1 from the control device 110_1. For example, the wireless charging platform 120 can convert external electric energy PE into charging electric energy PC and use the charging electric energy PC to wirelessly supply power to the electric assist carrier EV1. The external electric energy PE can be supplied from a power grid or a commercial power source.

[0011] Furthermore, in response to the second command CMD2, the wireless charging platform 120 uses the battery energy PB of the electric assist carrier EV1 to wirelessly supply power to another electric assist carrier (ie, the electric assist carrier EV2).

[0012] In this embodiment, the remote monitoring device 130 wirelessly communicates with the wireless charging platform 120 to receive the remaining power of the electric assist carriers EV1 and EV2. The remote monitoring device 130 controls the power supply operation of the wireless charging platform 120 based on the remaining power of the electric assist carriers EV1 and EV2 and the platform power supply upper limit PLM. For example, the wireless charging platform 120 provides a platform power supply amount PP to the remote monitoring device 130. The remote monitoring device 130 determines the platform power supply amount PP. If the platform power supply amount PP is greater than the platform power supply upper limit PLM, the remote monitoring device 130 uses a notification signal SN to notify the wireless charging platform 120 to perform load reduction. Accordingly, the platform power supply amount PP is reduced.

[0013] The remote monitoring device 130 can control the power supply operation of the wireless charging platform 120. Furthermore, the wireless charging platform 120 can use the battery energy of the first electric assist vehicle EV1 to wirelessly supply power to at least one of the other electric assist vehicles. This can reduce the amount of power used by the external electric energy PE. In this way, the power management system 100 can provide an energy-saving and efficient wireless power management mechanism.

[0014] In this embodiment, in response to the second command CMD2, the wireless charging platform 120 uses the battery energy PB of the electric assist carrier EV1 to wirelessly supply power to at least one of the other electric assist carriers. For example, the control device 110_1 can convert the battery energy PB of the electric assist carrier EV1 into wireless electric energy PB'. The wireless charging platform 120 receives the wireless electric energy PB' and uses the wireless electric energy PB' to wirelessly supply power to at least one of the other electric assist carriers.

[0015] Furthermore, the wireless charging platform 120 provides a usage bonus BNS corresponding to the electric assist carrier EV1 based on the wireless electric energy PB' received by the wireless charging platform 120 itself. For example, each of the electric assist carriers EV1 and EV2 may be a shared electric assist bicycle (however, the present invention is not limited to this). The user of the electric assist carrier EV1 charges the battery (not shown) of the electric assist carrier EV1 by pedaling while riding. The battery has sufficient power. Therefore, when the electric assist carrier EV1 arrives at the wireless charging platform 120, the user of the electric assist carrier EV1 can operate the control device 110_1 to provide a second command CMD2 to the control device 110_1. The wireless charging platform 120 calculates the battery energy PB contributed by the electric assist carrier EV1. The more battery energy PB the electric assist carrier EV1 can contribute, the greater the usage bonus BNS the user of the electric assist carrier EV1 receives. The usage bonus BNS can be used for discounts when the user rents the electric assist carrier EV1 or for discounts on the next rental of the electric assist carrier. In this way, the power management system 100 provides a novel trading method.

[0016] In this embodiment, when the platform power supply amount PP is less than or equal to the platform power supply amount upper limit PLM, the wireless charging platform 120 can provide the same or different power supply modes, such as a normal charging mode or a high-power overcharging mode, for the remaining power of the electric assist carriers EV1 and EV2.

[0017] For ease of explanation, this embodiment takes two control devices (i.e., control devices 110_1 and 110_2) and one wireless charging platform (i.e., wireless charging platform 120) as an example. However, the present invention does not limit the number of control devices and the number of wireless charging platforms. In one embodiment, there may be more than two control devices of the present invention. In one embodiment, there may be multiple wireless charging platforms of the present invention.

[0018] In this embodiment, the wireless charging platform 120 may be any type of wireless charging station, and the remote monitoring device 130 may be any type of electronic device with computing capabilities, such as a server, a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a smartphone, etc. In this embodiment, the wireless charging platform 120 may communicate with the remote monitoring device 130 using wired or wireless communication methods known to those skilled in the art.

[0019] In this embodiment, the control device 110_2 may also have the same functions and operations as the control device 110_1, and therefore will not be repeated here.

[0020] Referring to Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a power management system according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the power management system 200 includes control devices 210_1 and 210_2, a wireless charging platform 220, and a remote monitoring device 230. The control devices 210_1 and 210_2 are provided on the electric assist carriers EV1 and EV2, respectively. In this embodiment, the control device 210_1 is provided on the electric assist carrier EV1. The control device 210_2 is provided on the electric assist carrier EV2.

[0021] In this embodiment, the electrically assisted carrier EV1 includes a battery BTR and a motor MTR. The control device 210_1 includes a power supply control circuit 211, an identification code transmission circuit 212, an operation interface 213, a processor 214, a display 215, and a carrier communication circuit 216. The power supply control circuit 211 is connected to the battery BTR and the motor MTR. While the electrically assisted carrier EV1 is traveling, the power supply control circuit 211 drives the motor MTR using the battery energy PB of the battery BTR. While the electrically assisted carrier EV1 is traveling, the power supply control circuit 211 charges the battery BTR using pedal force.

[0022] During wireless communication between the control device 210_1 and the wireless charging platform 220, the power supply control circuit 211 charges the battery BTR using wireless electric energy PC from the wireless charging platform 220 in response to the first command CMD1. During wireless communication between the control device 210_1 and the wireless charging platform 220, the power supply control circuit 211 transmits battery energy PB to the wireless charging platform 220 in a wireless manner in response to a second command CMD2.

[0023] In this embodiment, during wireless communication with the control device 210_1, the identification code transmission circuit 212 provides the identification code ID1 of the electric assist carrier EV1 to the wireless charging platform 220. Therefore, the wireless charging platform 220 can identify the electric assist carrier EV1 using the identification code ID1. The operation interface 213 is connected to the power supply control circuit 211. The operation interface 213 is operated to provide one of a first command CMD1 and a second command CMD2. The processor 214 is connected to the power supply control circuit 211 and the operation interface 213. The processor 214 receives one of the first command CMD1 and the second command CMD2 from the operation interface 213 and the power VB (i.e., remaining power) of the battery BTR from the power supply control circuit 211.

[0024] In this embodiment, the display 215 is connected to the processor 214. The display 215 displays the power VB of the battery BTR. The display 215 can also display information such as the wireless power supply status, wireless charging status, mileage, driving time, and rental cost of the electrically assisted carrier EV1 (however, the present invention is not limited to this). The carrier communication circuit 216 is connected to the processor 214. During wireless communication between the control device 210_1 and the wireless charging platform 220, the carrier communication circuit 216 wirelessly provides one of the first command CMD1 and the second command CMD2 and the power VB of the battery BTR to the wireless charging platform 220.

[0025] The processor 214 may be, for example, a central processing unit (CPU) or other programmable general-purpose or special-purpose microprocessor, digital signal processor (DSP), programmable controller, application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), programmable logic device (PLD), or other similar device or combination of these devices that can load and execute a computer program. The display 215 may be a display device that provides display functions, such as a liquid crystal display (LCD), light-emitting diode (LED), or organic light-emitting diode (OLED). The display may also employ a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) or light-emitting diode (LED) as the screen of a backlight module.

[0026] The power control circuit 211 includes a charging / discharging circuit 2111, a wireless electric energy transmitting circuit 2112, a sensing circuit 2113, and a controller 2114. The charging / discharging circuit 2111 is connected to the battery BTR and the motor MTR. The wireless electric energy transmitting circuit 2112 is connected to the charging / discharging circuit 2111. The sensing circuit 2113 senses the state of the battery BTR. In this embodiment, the sensing circuit 2113 senses the power VB of the battery BTR, the voltage value of the battery energy PB, and the current value of the battery energy PB via one of the charging / discharging circuit 2111 and the wireless electric energy transmitting circuit 2112. The sensing circuit 2113 can also sense the voltage value of the wireless electric energy PC and the current value of the wireless electric energy PC via one of the charging / discharging circuit 2111 and the wireless electric energy transmitting circuit 2112.

[0027] The controller 2114 is connected to the charge / discharge circuit 2111 and the wireless electric energy transmitting circuit 2112. During driving, the controller 2114 controls the charge / discharge circuit 2111 so that the charge / discharge circuit 2111 drives the motor MTR using the battery energy PB of the battery BTR. During driving, the controller 2114 controls the charge / discharge circuit 2111 so that the charge / discharge circuit 2111 charges the battery BTR using the pedaling force.

[0028] In this embodiment, during wireless communication between the control device 210_1 and the wireless charging platform 220, the controller 2114 controls the charging / discharging circuit 2111 and the wireless electric energy transmitting circuit 2112 in response to one of the first command CMD1 and the second command CMD2.

[0029] In response to the first command CMD1, the controller 2114 controls the charging / discharging circuit 2111 and the wireless electric energy transmitting circuit 2112 so that the power control circuit 211 charges the battery BTR using the wireless electric energy PC. More specifically, the wireless electric energy transmitting circuit 2112 is, for example, a coil circuit. The charging / discharging circuit 2111 includes, for example, a conversion circuit of multiple power switches. Upon receiving the first command CMD1, the controller 2114 controls the wireless electric energy transmitting circuit 2112 to receive the wireless electric energy PC and controls the charging / discharging circuit 2111 to convert the wireless electric energy PC into charging electric energy PC'. The wireless electric energy PC is AC electric energy. Upon receiving the first command CMD1, the charging / discharging circuit 2111 rectifies the wireless electric energy PC using the operation of the multiple power switches to generate charging electric energy PC' and provide the charging electric energy PC' to the battery BTR. For example, in response to a first command CMD1, the controller 2114 controls the charge / discharge circuit 2111 as a full-bridge rectifier circuit.

[0030] In response to the second command CMD2, the controller 2114 controls the charging / discharging circuit 2111 and the wireless electric energy transmitting circuit 2112, and the power control circuit 211 transmits the battery energy PB to the wireless charging platform 220 in a wireless manner. More specifically, upon receiving the second command CMD2, the controller 2114 controls the wireless electric energy transmitting circuit 2112 to receive the battery energy PB and controls the charging / discharging circuit 2111 to convert the battery energy PB into wireless electric energy PB'. The wireless electric energy PB' is AC electric energy. Upon receiving the first command CMD1, the charging / discharging circuit 2111 rectifies the wireless electric energy PC by operating multiple power switches to generate wireless electric energy PB' and provides the wireless electric energy PB' to the wireless electric energy transmitting circuit 2112. For example, in response to the first command CMD1, the controller 2114 controls the charging / discharging circuit 2111 as a power inverter. The wireless electric energy transmitting circuit 2112 transmits the wireless electric energy PB′ to the wireless charging platform 220 in a wireless manner.

[0031] In addition, the controller 2114 determines the power VB of the battery BTR. If the power VB of the battery BTR is lower than the set value, it indicates that the power VB is insufficient. Therefore, the controller 2114 controls the charging / discharging circuit 2111 to stop converting the battery energy PB into wireless electric energy PB'.

[0032] In this embodiment, the wireless charging platform 220 includes a platform power control circuit 221, an identification code receiving circuit 222, a platform communication circuit 223, and a platform processor 224. The platform power control circuit 221 is connected to an external electric energy PE. During wireless communication between the control device 210_1 and the wireless charging platform 220, the platform power control circuit 221 wirelessly supplies power to the battery BTR using the external electric energy PE in response to a first command CMD1. During wireless communication between the control device 210_1 and the wireless charging platform 220, the platform power control circuit 221 wirelessly supplies power to at least one of the other electric assist carriers (such as the electric assist carrier EV2) using the wireless electric energy PB' from the power control circuit 211 in response to a second command CMD2.

[0033] In this embodiment, the identification code receiving circuit 222 receives the identification codes of the electric assist carriers EV1 and EV2. Taking this embodiment as an example, when the electric assist carrier EV1 enters the wireless charging area of ​​the wireless charging platform 220, the identification code receiving circuit 222 can receive the identification code ID1 transmitted by the identification code transmitting circuit 212. Therefore, the wireless charging platform 220 can identify the electric assist carrier EV1 using the identification code ID1 and know that the electric assist carrier EV1 has entered the wireless charging area. In this embodiment, the identification code transmitting circuit 212 can provide the identification code ID1 to the identification code receiving circuit 222 using, for example, radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology (however, the present invention is not limited to this).

[0034] In this embodiment, the platform communication circuit 223 receives one of the first command CMD1 and the second command CMD2 and the power VB of the battery BTR wirelessly. The platform communication circuit 223 wirelessly communicates with the carrier communication circuit 216 to receive one of the first command CMD1 and the second command CMD2 and the power VB of the battery BTR. The platform communication circuit 223 can wirelessly communicate with the carrier communication circuit 216 using, for example, a ZigBee network protocol (however, the present invention is not limited thereto).

[0035] The platform processor 224 is connected to the platform power control circuit 221 and the platform communication circuit 223. The platform processor 224 controls the platform power control circuit 221 based on one of a first command CMD1 and a second command CMD2. The platform power control circuit 221 performs a power supply operation in response to the control of the platform processor 224. In this embodiment, the platform power control circuit 221 includes a bidirectional electric energy conversion circuit 2211, a wireless electric energy transmission circuit 2212, a sensing circuit 2213, and a platform controller 2214. The bidirectional electric energy conversion circuit 2211 is connected to an external electric energy PE. The wireless electric energy transmission circuit 2212 is connected to the bidirectional electric energy conversion circuit 2211. The sensing circuit 2213 senses the platform power supply amount PP of the platform power control circuit 221. In this embodiment, the sensing circuit 2213 can sense the platform power supply amount PP via one of the bidirectional electric energy conversion circuit 2211 and the wireless electric energy transmission circuit 2212. Furthermore, the platform processor 224 can provide a usage bonus BNS corresponding to the electrically assisted vehicle EV1 based on the wireless electric energy PB'.

[0036] In this embodiment, the platform processor 224 may be, for example, a central processing unit (CPU), or other programmable general-purpose or special-purpose microprocessor, digital signal processor (DSP), programmable controller, application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), programmable logic device (PLD), or other similar device or combination of devices that can load and execute computer programs.

[0037] The platform controller 2214 is connected to the platform processor 224, the bidirectional electric energy conversion circuit 2211, and the wireless electric energy transmitting circuit 2212. In response to a first command CMD1, the platform controller 2214 controls the bidirectional electric energy conversion circuit 2211 to convert external electric energy PE into charging electric energy PC, and controls the wireless electric energy transmitting circuit 2212 to provide the charging electric energy PC to the control device 210_1. The wireless electric energy transmitting circuit 2212 is, for example, a coil circuit.

[0038] In response to the second command CMD2, the platform controller 2214 controls the wireless electric energy transmitting circuit 2212 to receive the wireless electric energy PB'. The wireless electric energy transmitting circuit 2212 also uses the wireless electric energy PB' to wirelessly supply power to at least one of the other electric assist carriers (such as the electric assist carrier EV2).

[0039] In addition, the platform controller 2214 also determines the power VB of the battery BTR. If the power VB of the battery BTR is lower than a set value, it indicates that the power VB is insufficient. Therefore, the platform controller 2214 controls the wireless electric energy transmitting circuit 2212 to stop receiving the wireless electric energy PB′.

[0040] In this embodiment, the sensing circuit 2213 can provide the platform power supply amount PP to the platform processor 224. The platform communication circuit 223 can further provide the platform power supply amount PP from the platform processor 224 to the remote monitoring device 230 in a wireless manner. The remote monitoring device 230 determines the platform power supply amount PP. If the platform power supply amount PP is greater than the platform power supply upper limit PLM, the remote monitoring device 230 notifies the wireless charging platform 220 using a notification signal SN. For example, the remote monitoring device 230 transmits the notification signal SN to the platform communication circuit 223. The platform processor 224 receives the notification signal SN and determines based on the notification signal SN that the current platform power supply amount PP is too high. Therefore, the platform processor 224 controls the platform power control circuit 221 to perform load reduction. Accordingly, the platform power supply amount PP is reduced.

[0041] In summary, the power management system of the present invention can control the power supply operation of the wireless charging platform based on the remaining power and the platform power supply upper limit. The wireless charging platform can also wirelessly supply power to at least one of the other electric assist carriers using the battery energy of a first electric assist carrier. In this way, the power management system can provide an energy-saving and efficient wireless power management mechanism. The wireless charging platform can also provide a usage bonus corresponding to the electric assist carrier based on the battery energy received by the wireless charging platform itself. The more battery energy an electric assist carrier can contribute, the greater the usage bonus received from the electric assist carrier user. In this way, the power management system provides a novel trading method.

[0042] Although the present invention has been disclosed through the above embodiments, they are not intended to limit the present invention, and a person having ordinary skill in the relevant technical field can make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be determined by the appended claims. [Industrial Applicability]
