[0069] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0070] When using electronic products, it is often necessary to use charging equipment, such as charging sockets, mobile power supplies, power banks, etc., to charge or supply power to the electronic products to ensure that the electronic products can be used normally when there is power.

[0071] Among the current charging devices, one type is charging devices with display screens, and the other type is charging devices without display screens. Among them, charging devices with interactive display screens can display the power of the charging interface, allowing users to perceive the charging status of the device in real time, while charging devices without interactive display screens only have conventional power distribution or intelligent, dynamic power distribution strategies, and users cannot perceive the actual charging status of electronic products by the charging devices.

[0072] Traditionally, when charging devices with displays have charging ports that adapt their power to different electronic products, the power output cannot be maximized. For example, the two Type-C ports of a 100W device are divided into one with 60W and the other with 40W. For example, when charging an 87W Mac and a 12W iPhone 6, according to the power distribution of the charging devices, the maximum charging power is 60W + 12W, and the maximum charging power is 72W. Obviously, the total power of 100W is not fully utilized.

[0073] In addition, the charging device without display screen interaction basically has a corresponding power distribution strategy (such as fixed power, intelligent power or dynamic power distribution strategy, etc.); for example, in a use scenario, when a nearly full computer and a dead computer are connected to the charging interface at the same time, the minimum power distribution of the full computer is automatically adjusted to 15W, and if the computer has a threshold power requirement, the charging will be interrupted, which obviously is a problem in user experience. The other two power distribution strategies cannot achieve maximum power output.

[0074] In general, the existing charging device still has the problem of poor flexibility of power distribution when distributing power to the charging interface.

[0075] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application proposes a power distribution method, which can flexibly set the output power of each charging interface in the charging device through user interaction, improve the flexibility of power configuration, and improve the maximum output of power.

[0076] First of all, before introducing the scheme of the present application, the technical terms involved are explained and described, including:

[0077] PD: USB Power Delivery USB, fast charging protocol standard

[0078] LCD: Liquid Crystal Display, liquid crystal display

[0079] MCU: micro programmed control Unit, single-chip microcomputer (minimum control unit)

[0080] ADC: Analog to Digital Converter, analog-to-digital converter

[0081] I2C: Inter-integrated Circuit, I2C communication protocol

[0082] C: fast charging Type-C port

[0083] SRAM: Static Random-Access Memory, static random access memory

[0084] SPI: Serial Peripheral Interface, serial peripheral interface

[0085] The power configuration method provided in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to an application environment as shown in FIG. 1. The charging device can include a charging socket, a mobile power supply, a power bank and the like, and has a charging function. The charging device includes a plurality of charging interfaces, and the interface types of the charging interfaces can be the same or different. The interface types of the charging interfaces can include, but are not limited to, a MicroUSB interface, a USB Type C interface, a Lightning interface and a mini USB interface and the like. In addition, the charging device can further include a power configuration component, by which the charging power of the plurality of charging interfaces in the charging device can be adjusted. For example, the structure of the power configuration component can include, but is not limited to, a physical button, a touch screen control, a voice interface, a remote communication interface and the like. The structure of the power configuration component is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0086] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a power configuration method is provided. The method is applied to the charging device in FIG. 1, and includes the following steps.

[0087] In step 201, a power configuration instruction is generated in response to a trigger from the power configuration component.

[0088] For example, the charging device in the embodiments of the present application can have a user interaction function, so that the user can flexibly adjust or configure the output power of each charging interface on the charging device. In the implementation of the user interaction function, any user interaction mode can be used, including but not limited to a physical button, a touch display screen, voice interaction, remote interaction and the like. For various interaction modes, the power configuration interaction can be uniformly referred to. Accordingly, the power configuration component can be provided in the charging device, and the power configuration interaction can be realized through the power configuration component, so that the user can flexibly adjust or configure the output power of each charging interface through the power configuration component according to the actual charging demand.

[0089] For example, the charging device can obtain the corresponding power configuration instruction by detecting the trigger operation of the user on the power configuration component. For example, in the case of two charging interfaces, since the total output power of the two charging interfaces is unchanged, the output power of one charging interface is increased or decreased, and the output power of the other charging interface is adaptively decreased or increased. Therefore, only one power configuration component can be provided to realize the configuration of the output power of the two charging interfaces.

[0090] For the power configuration component, it can be a physical component such as a physical button, a physical knob, a physical push rod, etc.; or it can be various controls in a display interface on a touch screen such as an input control, a selection control, a progress bar control, etc.; the form and number of the power configuration component are not limited in the embodiments of the present application, and can be designed according to requirements and functions in actual applications.

[0091] As an example, a physical button for configuring the output power of each charging interface can be provided on the charging device, and the user can configure the output power of a specified charging interface by clicking the physical button; based on this, the charging device generates a power configuration instruction by detecting the clicking operation of the user on the physical button.

[0092] As another example, a touch display screen can be provided on the charging device, and the user can configure the output power of a specified charging interface on the touch display screen; based on this, the charging device generates a power configuration instruction by detecting the triggering operation of the user on the touch display screen.

[0093] As another example, the charging device can include an audio input component, and the user can configure the output power of a specified charging interface through voice interaction; based on this, the charging device can obtain a power configuration instruction through the audio input component.

[0094] As another example, the charging device can include a communication component, and the user can configure the output power of a specified charging interface through a control device; based on this, the charging device can receive a power configuration instruction sent by the control device through the communication component; wherein the power configuration instruction is input by the user through the control device. Exemplarily, the control device can include but is not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart speaker, etc.

[0095] Step 202, configuring the output power of each charging interface according to the power values of each charging interface corresponding to the power configuration instruction.

[0096] Exemplarily, the power configuration instruction can include at least one charging interface corresponding to the configured power value, or can include a power configuration strategy for at least one charging interface; for example: the power configuration instruction can include increasing / decreasing the output power of a specified charging interface by a preset power value, adjusting the output power of a specified charging interface to a preset power value, etc.

[0097] Exemplarily, in a case that the power configuration instruction includes the configured power value corresponding to at least one charging interface, the configured power value corresponding to the other charging interface can be determined according to the configured power value corresponding to the at least one charging interface indicated in the power configuration instruction; then, the output power of each charging interface is configured according to the configured power value corresponding to each charging interface. It should be noted that, generally, the total output power corresponding to each charging interface is fixed; for example, the total output power is 100 watts (W), and for two charging interfaces C1 and C2, C1 is 30 W and C2 is 70 W.

[0098] Of course, in a case that the power configuration instruction includes the configured power value corresponding to all charging interfaces, if the sum of the configured power values corresponding to all charging interfaces does not exceed the total output power value, the output power of each charging interface can also be configured according to the configured power value corresponding to each charging interface indicated in the power configuration instruction. Based on the above example, C1 can be set to 30 W and C2 can be set to 50 W.

[0099] In addition, if the sum of the configured power values corresponding to all charging interfaces exceeds the total output power value, the power value of one or more charging interfaces can also be adjusted according to a preset adjustment strategy; for example, the output power of the charging interface with the maximum power value is reduced; based on the above example, in a case that the power configuration instruction indicates that C1 is 30 W and C2 is 80 W, C2 can be reduced to 70 W.

[0100] Exemplarily, in a case that the power configuration instruction includes a power configuration strategy for at least one charging interface, the configured power value corresponding to each charging interface can be determined according to the power configuration strategy of the at least one charging interface and the initial configured power of each charging interface; and then, the output power of each charging interface is configured according to the configured power value corresponding to each charging interface.

[0101] Based on the above example, in a case that two charging interfaces C1 and C2 are included and the total output power is 100 W, if the power configuration instruction is to increase the output power of C1 by 5 W, then 5 W is added to the initial configured power of C1, and correspondingly, 5 W can be reduced from the initial configured power of C2 to obtain the configured power values corresponding to C1 and C2 respectively.

[0102] For example, if the power configuration instruction is C1, and the output power of C1 is increased by 5W, and the output power of C2 is increased by 10W, the power configuration component can increase the output power of C1 by 5W based on the initial configuration power of C1 according to the power configuration strategy of C1, and increase the output power of C2 by 10W based on the initial configuration power of C2 according to the power configuration strategy of C2. Then, if the sum of the adjusted power of C1 and C2 does not exceed the total output power 100W, the output power of C1 and C2 is configured according to the adjusted power of C1 and C2.

[0103] In the above power configuration method, when the charging device includes a plurality of charging interfaces and a power configuration component, the charging device can generate a power configuration instruction in response to a trigger from the power configuration component, and configure the output power of each charging interface according to the power value of each charging interface corresponding to the power configuration instruction. That is, the charging device provided by the embodiment of the present application increases the power configuration component, and can realize user interaction function through the power configuration component, and flexibly adjusts and configures the output power of each charging interface on the charging device according to the user's interaction operation. Compared with the fixed power in the prior art, or even the intelligent power distribution mode, the output power of each charging interface can be adaptively adjusted according to the user's demand, so as to meet the different charging demands of the user. Not only the flexibility of power configuration is improved, thereby improving the flexibility of charging, but also the utilization rate of the output power of each charging interface is improved, and the power of each charging interface is maximized.

[0104] In an exemplary embodiment, when the power configuration component includes a physical button, the power configuration component can include a first power configuration button, which can be used to increase the output power of the target charging interface and reduce the output power of other charging interfaces. Based on this, the step 201 can include generating a first power configuration instruction in response to a trigger from the first power configuration button. Correspondingly, the step 202 can include increasing the output power of the target charging interface among the charging interfaces, and reducing the output power of other charging interfaces except the target charging interface among the charging interfaces.

[0105] Based on the above example, when the charging device includes two charging interfaces C1 and C2, and the first power configuration button is used to increase the output power of C1 and reduce the output power of C2, the user can click the first power configuration button, so that the charging device increases the output power of C1 by a preset power value, and reduces the output power of C2 by a preset power value.

[0106] Exemplarily, the power configuration component can further include a second power configuration button, which can be used to reduce the output power of the target charging interface while increasing the output power of other charging interfaces. Based on this, the step 201 can include generating a second power configuration instruction in response to a trigger from the second power configuration button; correspondingly, the step 202 can include reducing the output power of the target charging interface and increasing the output power of other charging interfaces except the target charging interface.

[0107] Based on the above example, in the case where the charging device includes two charging interfaces C1 and C2, and the second power configuration button is used to reduce the output power of C1 and increase the output power of C2, the user can click the second power configuration button, so that the charging device reduces the output power of C1 by a preset power value and increases the output power of C2 by the preset power value.

[0108] In addition, it should be noted that the preset power value for increasing or decreasing can be any preset power value, such as 2W, 5W, 10W, etc., which is not limited in the present application. As an example, the increased output power and the reduced output power can both be 1W, so as to realize stepless adjustment of the output power. In addition, the preset power value (i.e., the output power) for increasing or decreasing can be fixed or can be flexibly set and adjusted by the user, which is also not limited in the present application.

[0109] In the embodiment, the power configuration component can include a first power configuration button and a second power configuration button, and the user can configure the output power of each charging interface by operating the first power configuration button and / or the second power configuration button, so as to improve the convenience and flexibility of user interaction.

[0110] In an exemplary embodiment, the charging device can further include a display screen, which can be used to display at least one of the real-time output power and the configured power of each charging interface of the charging device. After configuring the output power of each charging interface in any interaction mode, the display screen can display the configured output power corresponding to each interface, so as to prompt the user and improve the user experience.

[0111] Exemplarily, in the case where the charging device includes a display screen, at least one display interface can be displayed on the display screen, such as a power configuration interface, a power display interface, etc. In the case where there are multiple display interfaces, the charging device can further include an interface switching component, by which the switching between multiple display interfaces can be realized. Based on this, as shown in FIG. 3, the method can further include:

[0112] In step 301, a power display interface is displayed on the display screen; at least one of the real-time output power and the configured power of each charging interface is displayed in the power display interface.

[0113] That is, the power display interface can include one, in which multiple information of each charging interface is displayed; as shown in FIG. 4, in the case of two charging interfaces C1 and C2, the power display interface can display the real-time output power and the configured power of the charging interface C1, and the real-time output power and the configured power of the charging interface C2. Among them, the real-time output power is the gray progress bar area in FIG. 5, and the configured power is the power value on the right side of the progress bar in FIG. 4.

[0114] Exemplarily, the power display interface can also include multiple, each power display interface can display one or more information of each charging interface; as shown in FIG. 5(a), the power display interface can include a first power display interface, which can be used to display the real-time output power of the charging interface C1 and the real-time output power of the charging interface C2. As shown in FIG. 5(b), the power display interface can also include a second power display interface, which can be used to display the configured power of the charging interface C1 and the configured power of the charging interface C2.

[0115] That is, in one implementation, the real-time output power of each charging interface can be displayed in the first power display interface, and the configured power of each charging interface can be displayed in the second power display interface; of course, the real-time output power and the configured power of the charging interface C1 can also be displayed in the first power display interface, and the real-time output power and the configured power of the charging interface C2 can also be displayed in the second power display interface; in other words, the power display interface can also be set according to the charging interface, and each charging interface corresponds to a power display interface.

[0116] Exemplarily, the charging device can display the first power display interface on the display screen by default, and switch the first power display interface to the second power display interface in response to a first triggering operation of the interface switching component.

[0117] In step 302, in response to the triggering operation of the interface switching component, the power display interface is switched to a power configuration interface.

[0118] Exemplarily, the interface switching component can include a physical button, and can also include a function control on the touch screen, etc., and the form of the interface switching component is not limited in the embodiment of the application.

[0119] Exemplarily, in the case that the display screen displays the power display interface, the power display interface on the display screen can be switched to the power configuration interface by triggering the interface switching component. Exemplarily, in the case that the power display interface includes multiple power display interfaces, the interface switching component can be triggered to directly switch to the power configuration interface at each power display interface; for example, an interface switching control is arranged on each power display interface, and the interface switching control is triggered to directly switch to the power configuration interface. For example, in the case that the interface switching component is a physical button, a specific button mode, such as double-clicking, can be set to switch from any power display interface to the power configuration interface.

[0120] Exemplarily, in the case that the display screen displays the first power display interface or the second power display interface, the charging device can switch the first power display interface or the second power display interface to the power configuration interface in response to a second triggering operation on the interface switching component.

[0121] Based on the embodiment, in the case that the power display interface displays the configuration power of each charging interface, the charging device can further update the configuration power of each charging interface in the power display interface according to the power value of each charging interface corresponding to the power configuration instruction after obtaining the power configuration instruction. The output power of each charging interface after configuration can be displayed to the user.

[0122] Correspondingly, the step 201 can further include:

[0123] The step 201’ is that the power configuration interface generates a power configuration instruction in response to a triggering from the power configuration component.

[0124] That is, in the case that the display screen does not display the power configuration interface, the power configuration component is not functional, or in other words, the power configuration component is not used for power configuration. For example, in the case that the power configuration component is a power configuration control on the touch screen, the power configuration controls are not displayed in the non-power configuration interface; for another example, in the case that the power configuration component is a physical button, the physical button is not functional in the non-power configuration interface, or the physical button can be used as a functional button in the non-power configuration interface.

[0125] In this embodiment, the display screen of the charging device can display a power display interface or a power configuration interface, and the switching between different interfaces is realized through an interface switching component arranged on the charging device, so as to meet different needs of users. When power configuration is needed, the interface is switched to the power configuration interface through the interface switching component, so that the output power of each charging interface is configured through a power configuration component in the power configuration interface. After the configuration is completed, the power display interface is automatically switched to, so as to display the information of each charging interface in real time. By using this method, the flexibility and intelligence of the charging device can be improved. In addition, by arranging the power configuration interface on the display screen of the charging device, and in the case that the display screen displays the power configuration interface, the charging device generates a power configuration instruction in response to the trigger from the power configuration component. By using this method, the accuracy of power configuration can be improved.

[0126] In one exemplary embodiment, in the case that the power display interface includes a first power display interface and a second power display interface, the first power display interface displays the real-time output power of each charging interface, and the second power display interface displays the configured power of each charging interface. The interface display process can be:

[0127] Exemplarily, taking the interface switching component as an interface switching button for example, after the charging device is started / powered on, the display screen of the charging device can display the first power display interface by default, that is, the real-time output power of each charging interface is displayed in the first power display interface. At this time, the charging device can detect the real-time output power of each charging interface based on the corresponding detection circuit, and display the real-time output power of each charging interface in the first power display interface.

[0128] Then, in the case of the first power display interface, the user can switch the first power display interface to the second power display interface by clicking the interface switching button, and the configured power of each charging interface can be displayed in the second power display interface. And in the case of the second power display interface, the user can click the interface switching button again to switch the second power display interface to the power configuration interface, so that the output power of each charging interface is configured by clicking the power configuration button in the power configuration interface.

[0129] Exemplarily, in the second power display interface, the charging device can also switch the second power display interface to the first power display interface in response to a third trigger operation of the user on the interface switching component.

[0130] For example, in the second power display interface, the user can switch the interface by long-pressing the interface switch button for more than a preset time length, and the charging device can switch the second power display interface to the power configuration interface; the user can switch the interface by short-pressing the interface switch button for less than the preset time length, and the charging device can switch the second power display interface back to the first power display interface.

[0131] For example, in the second power display interface, the user can switch the interface by double-clicking the interface switch button, and the charging device can switch the second power display interface to the power configuration interface; the user can switch the interface by single-clicking the interface switch button, and the charging device can switch the second power display interface back to the first power display interface.

[0132] It should be noted that the above examples are only used to describe some optional implementations of the scheme and do not limit the way of switching different display interfaces by the button; in actual application scenarios, different button modes can be set to switch between different interfaces.

[0133] In an exemplary embodiment, the power display interface can also include one, i.e., the real-time output power and the configured power of each charging interface are displayed in the power display interface at the same time. For example, on this basis, the interface switching component can include an interface switching control in the display screen, i.e., a touch button, for example, the interface switching control can be set in the upper right corner of the power display interface shown in FIG. 4. Correspondingly, the power configuration component can also include a power configuration control in the power configuration interface. That is, in this example, user interaction can be realized through a touch screen without setting a physical button.

[0134] For example, the power configuration control can include multiple, each charging interface can correspond to one power configuration control; of course, the power configuration control can also include one, and the output power of each charging interface can be configured through one power configuration control, for example, when different charging interfaces are selected, the power configuration control is used to configure the output power of the selected charging interface. In addition, in the case where the power configuration control includes one, the power configuration control can also be in the form of a progress bar, etc., to simultaneously realize the output power configuration of multiple charging interfaces.

[0135] For example, the power configuration control can be used to adjust the power ratio of each charging interface, based on which, the above step 201' can include:

[0136] In the power configuration interface, in response to the user's ratio adjustment operation on the power configuration control, the target power ratio is determined; and the power configuration instruction is generated according to the target power ratio.

[0137] In an implementation, referring to FIG. 6, the power configuration control can be in the form of a progress bar, and at least one movable control is arranged on the progress bar, and the progress bar can be divided into multiple parts by the movable control; for example, when the charging interface includes C1 and C2, the progress bar can be divided into two parts by the movable control, one part represents the power proportion of the charging interface C1, and the other part represents the power proportion of the charging interface C2.

[0138] The user adjusts the position of the movable control on the progress bar through the touch screen, which can achieve the effect of adjusting the output power of the charging interfaces C1 and C2. During the adjustment of the position of the movable control, the charging device can determine the target power proportions of the charging interfaces C1 and C2 corresponding to the current position of the movable control, and then determine the power values corresponding to the charging interfaces C1 and C2, respectively; and the power values corresponding to the charging interfaces C1 and C2 can be displayed in the power configuration interface in real time. It should be noted that when the user triggers the confirmation control in the power configuration interface, the target power proportions of the charging interfaces C1 and C2 corresponding to the current position of the movable control are determined; and the output power of the charging interfaces C1 and C2 is configured according to the target power proportions of the charging interfaces C1 and C2, respectively.

[0139] For example, when the user exits the power configuration interface, the charging device can also configure the output power of the charging interfaces C1 and C2 according to the position of the movable control on the progress bar after the user last adjusts the movable control.

[0140] It should be noted that the progress bar described above is only used as an example for illustration, and other forms can also be used to adjust the power proportions of multiple charging interfaces in actual applications; for example, a circular pie structure, etc.

[0141] In an exemplary embodiment, the power configuration component can also include at least one device type selection component corresponding to each charging interface in the power configuration interface; that is, a device type selection component corresponding to each charging interface can also be arranged in the power configuration interface, and each charging interface can be configured to connect at least one charging device of a device type, and the output power of the charging device configured for the charging interface is different when the charging interface connects different types of charging devices.

[0142] Referring to FIG. 7, one or more device type selection components can be arranged in the power configuration interface for different charging interfaces, including but not limited to a computer selection component, a mobile phone selection component, a tablet selection component, a watch / earphone selection component, etc. That is, the device types of the charging device can include computers, mobile phones, tablets, watches / earphones, etc.

[0143] Referring to Table 1, power distribution of C1 and C2 interfaces in different device types is shown.

[0144] Table 1

[0145]

[0146] Based on this, the above step 201' can include:

[0147] In the power configuration interface, for each charging interface, in response to a triggering operation of a device type selection component corresponding to the charging interface, the device type of the electronic device connected to the charging interface is determined;

[0148] According to the device type of the electronic device connected to each charging interface, a power configuration instruction is generated.

[0149] Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 7, in the case where each charging interface corresponds to multiple device type selection components, for each charging interface, the device type of the electronic device connected to each charging interface can be selected respectively, for example, the electronic device connected to charging interface C1 is selected as a computer, and the electronic device connected to charging interface C2 is selected as a mobile phone.

[0150] Exemplarily, in the case where the device type of the electronic device connected to each charging interface is determined, a power configuration instruction can be generated; in one implementation, a power configuration instruction carrying the device type of the electronic device connected to each charging interface can be generated, and accordingly, the above step 202 can include: determining the power value of each charging interface according to the device type of the electronic device connected to each charging interface carried in the power configuration instruction, and configuring the output power of each charging interface according to the power value of each charging interface.

[0151] In another implementation, the power value of each charging interface can also be determined according to the device type of the electronic device connected to each charging interface and a preset corresponding relationship, and then a power configuration instruction carrying the power value of each charging interface is generated according to the power value of each charging interface; wherein the preset corresponding relationship can include the corresponding relationship between different device types of the electronic device and the power value of the charging interface.

[0152] That is, based on the power configuration interface shown in FIG. 7, the user can select the device type of the electronic device connected to each charging interface in the power configuration interface; then the charging device can determine the power value of each charging interface according to the device type of the electronic device connected to each charging interface and a preset corresponding relationship. Of course, the charging device can also generate a power configuration instruction according to the device type of the electronic device connected to each charging interface by detecting the device type of the electronic device connected to each charging interface.

[0153] In the above embodiments, the various interactive implementation schemes such as the key and the touch screen are described respectively, and various implementation manners are provided for the output power configuration of each charging interface of the charging device, so as to improve the flexibility and diversity of the charging configuration.

[0154] In an optional embodiment, referring to FIG. 8, a schematic diagram of a circuit structure of a charging device is provided. The charging device includes a controller MCU, an LCD screen, an alternating current input (AC-IN), a power conversion module (AC-DC), a PD protocol + BUCK voltage conversion module, and a low dropout regulator (LDO) voltage reduction module. The charging device is connected to 220V mains through the AC-IN, and the input 220V mains is converted into direct current of a preset size required by the PD protocol + BUCK voltage conversion module through the power conversion module AC-DC; then, the two PD protocol + BUCK voltage conversion modules respectively charge the charging device connected to C1 and the charging device connected to C2 according to the configuration power of the charging interface C1 and C2.

[0155] In addition, the direct current output by the two PD protocol + BUCK voltage conversion modules is connected to the LDO voltage reduction module through VDRV1 and VDRV2 respectively for voltage reduction, so as to obtain the 3.3V power supply voltage of the controller MCU.

[0156] The controller MCU respectively collects the voltage V_C1 and the current I_C1 of the charging interface C1, and the voltage V_C2 and the current I_C2 of the charging interface C2 through an analog-to-digital conversion module ADC, and calculates the real-time output power of the charging interface C1 according to the voltage V_C1 and the current I_C1 of the charging interface C1, and calculates the real-time output power of the charging interface C2 according to the voltage V_C2 and the current I_C2 of the charging interface C2.

[0157] In addition, the controller MCU is in communication connection with the LCD screen through an SPI bus, and is used to obtain the power configuration instruction triggered by the interactive operation of the user on the LCD screen, and in the case that the corresponding configured power values of C1 and C2 are determined, the controller MCU controls the PD protocol + BUCK voltage conversion module to adjust the output power of the charging interface C1 through an I2C1 bus, and controls the PD protocol + BUCK voltage conversion module to adjust the output power of the charging interface C2 through an I2C2 bus.

[0158] Three complete user interaction modes will be provided below to describe the power distribution method in detail. Assume that the application scenario is that a 95W high-power computer is connected to the charging interface C1 and a 5W earphone device is connected to the charging interface C2.

[0159] The first: through the interaction of the key and the LCD screen to realize the active configuration of the power of the charging interface. Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 9, the flow of the key interaction can include:

[0160] Three display interfaces are provided on the LCD screen. The first display interface is the first power display interface, that is, the real-time power parameter display of the charging interfaces C1 and C2. The second display interface is the second power display interface, that is, the current power distribution display when the charging interfaces C1 and C2 are online at the same time. The third display interface is the power configuration interface, which can be entered when the charging interfaces C1 and C2 are online at the same time. The initial configuration power of the charging interfaces C1 and C2 can be half of the total power. In the case of a total power of 100W, the initial configuration power of the charging interfaces C1 and C2 can be 50W each.

[0161] After the charging device is powered on and started, the LCD screen can enter the first power display interface by default. The software defines the interface position parameter as interface_position and sets interface_position to 1, and then caches it in the SRAM of the MCU. At the same time, the ADC sampling function of the MCU is started to convert the actual output voltage and current of the charging interfaces C1 and C2 into analog-to-digital values, which are converted into corresponding voltage and current values and cached in the SRAM of the MCU (the voltage and current data of the charging interface C1 are defined as output_c1_vol and output_c1_cur respectively; the voltage and current data of the charging interface C2 are defined as output_c2_vol and output_c2_cur respectively). At the same time, the actual output power value obtained by multiplying the converted voltage and current is cached in the SRAM of the MCU (the real-time output power of the charging interfaces C1 and C2 is defined as output_c1_power and output_c2_power respectively). Then the real-time output power of the charging interfaces C1 and C2 is displayed in the first power display interface of the LCD. The display communication mode can be SPI, and the implementation process is to fill the real-time output power of the charging interfaces C1 and C2 into the corresponding drive register according to the drive requirements of the LCD through the SPI communication mode, so that the data can be displayed on the LCD screen.

[0162] The above process realizes real-time power display of each charging interface of the first power display interface. When the user presses the key 1, the MCU detects the pressing of the key 1 through GPIO input of a pin (Pin for short), at this time, interface_position is set to 2 and cached in the SRAM of the MCU, at this time, the display interface will switch to the second power display interface, and the displayed content is the power configuration value of the charging interfaces C1 and C2 (the displayed power values are respectively defined as current_c1_set_power and current_c2_set_power, both of which are 50W by default, and are also cached in the SRAM of the MCU).

[0163] When the user long-presses the key 1 for more than 3s without releasing the hand, at this time, interface_position is set to 3 and cached in the SRAM of the MCU, at this time, the display interface will switch to the power configuration interface, indicating that the user needs to enter the configuration of the charging power of the charging interfaces C1 and C2 (respectively defined as get_c1_set_power and get_c2_set_power), at this time, the user can infinitely adjust the current power distribution of C1 and C2 through the key 2 and the key 3 (that is, the increased / decreased power is 1W); by pressing the key 2, the power distribution of C1 can be increased while the power distribution of C2 is reduced, and by pressing the key 3, the power distribution of C1 can be reduced while the power distribution of C2 is increased; for example: the current power distribution combination is 50W+50W, when the key 2 is pressed, the power distribution becomes 51W+49W, and when the key 3 is pressed, the power distribution becomes 49W+51W, and the adjustment limit can be set to 95W+5W or 5W+95W; at the same time, the MCU will update the power distribution parameters configured by the user in real time, and refresh them to the cached get_c1_set_power and get_c2_set_power, when the user determines the power distribution combination, the key 1 is long-pressed again for more than 3s (equivalent to a confirmation key), at this time, the last power distribution combination parameter (that is, get_c1_set_power and get_c2_set_power) configured by the user is updated to current_c1_set_power and current_c2_set_power, after the update, interface_position is set to 2 and cached in the SRAM of the MCU, at this time, the interface will switch to the second power display interface, and the current power distribution combination will be displayed as the power distribution combination configured by the user, indicating that the user actively configures the interface power distribution successfully.

[0164] In addition, when the second power display interface is displayed, if the long press of the key 1 is not released for more than 3 seconds, it is considered as a short press, at this time, the first power display interface will be returned, and the interface_position is set to 1 and buffered in the SRAM of the MCU. Referring to FIG. 10, an operation diagram of the key switching different display interfaces is shown.

[0165] After the above-mentioned interaction process between the user and the charging device, for example, the power distribution combination is finally adjusted to 95W+5W, the computer device can finally be charged at a power of 95W, and the earphone can be charged at a demand of 5W, so that the optimization of power charging can be achieved under the condition of ensuring safety.

[0166] In addition, it should be noted that when a single charging interface is connected to an electronic device, the charging interface connected to the electronic device can be allocated total power for charging. For example: when the charging interface C1 is connected to the electronic device, the charging interface C2 is not connected to the electronic device, the charging power of 100W is allocated to the charging interface C1, and the charging power is not allocated to the charging interface C2; when the charging interface C1 is not connected to the electronic device, the charging interface C2 is connected to the electronic device, the charging power of 100W is allocated to the charging interface C2, and the charging power is not allocated to the charging interface C1.

[0167] When multiple charging interfaces are connected to electronic devices, the above-mentioned power distribution method can be used to allocate output power to multiple charging interfaces.

[0168] Second: touch screen interaction mode

[0169] Exemplarily, referring to FIG. 11, the LCD screen in FIG. 8 can be a serial touch screen, which can include a receiving interface RX and a sending interface TX for communicating with the controller through a universal asynchronous receiver / transmitter (UART). In addition, VCC represents a power supply for powering the touch screen, and GND represents the ground of the touch screen. Its interaction process can include:

[0170] MCU parses the command of the serial touch screen through the serial UART signal, and obtains the corresponding interface parameters; for example, in the multi-port power distribution setting interface, the user adjusts the C1 power distribution to 30W and the C2 power distribution to 70W by touching the power distribution progress bar. After the user saves and confirms, the serial screen driver sends a UART signal (according to the corresponding protocol) to the MCU, and the MCU parses the power distribution values of C1 and C2 that need to be updated, so that the obtained power distribution values are immediately updated to the protocol IC, and the protocol IC re-broadcasts to inform the charging interface of the latest power distribution values. At the same time, the MCU continuously collects the output voltage and current signals of each charging interface, converts the collected analog quantities into digital quantities through ADC, and calculates the output power value through the voltage and current values. Then, the MCU notifies the serial touch screen driver IC of the latest real-time power values of C1 and C2 at a certain interval period through a UART signal (according to the corresponding protocol). After the serial touch screen obtains the UART signal of the MCU, it also parses the real-time output power values of C1 and C2, and refreshes the obtained real-time output power values to the multi-port output power display interface.

[0171] Among them, for the touch display screen, it can include two display interfaces, namely a power display interface and a power configuration interface; in the power display interface, the real-time output power and the configured power of each charging interface can be displayed, as shown in the above FIG. 4. When a single port is accessed, the touch screen can display the real-time output power of C1 or C2 and the maximum power of the charging device, such as 100W; when multiple ports are accessed, the touch screen can display the real-time output power of C1 and C2, such as 5W and 48W, and the configured power of C1 and C2, such as 50W and 50W. The user can enter the power configuration interface by clicking the setting icon button in the power display interface on the touch screen with a finger, and then perform autonomous power distribution setting of C1 and C2. When returning to the power display interface after the setting is completed, the interface will be updated according to the power values of C1 and C2 set by the user; for example, in the power distribution interface, C1 is set to 30W and C2 is set to 70W, and the power values displayed in the power display interface are changed to C1 30W and C2 70W, and the power output of the charging interfaces C1 and C2 is limited to the configured power values.

[0172] Third: based on the user actively selecting the interface device type for power distribution

[0173] First of all, it needs to be pointed out that the display interface and the interface switching mode in the third interactive mode can be the same as the second mode, and the difference between the third interactive mode is that the power configuration interface displays the device type selection components corresponding to each charging interface, as shown in the above FIG. 7; the power display interface displays the real-time output power of each charging interface and the device type of the connected charging device. The interactive process can include:

[0174] The MCU parses the instructions of the serial touch screen through the serial UART signal, and obtains the corresponding interface parameters through parsing, for example, in the power configuration interface, the user selects the device type of the charging device connected to the charging interface C1 and C2 through touch, and then adjusts the power distribution according to the device type; for example, C1 is selected as a computer, and C2 is selected as a computer, then according to the above table 1, the power distribution of C1 and C2 can be set to 50W. After the user saves and confirms, the serial screen driver sends a UART signal (according to the corresponding protocol) to the MCU, the MCU parses the device type of the interface C1 and C2 configured by the user, then matches the interface power size to be set according to the device type, and updates the allocated power value to the protocol IC, and the protocol IC re-broadcasts to inform the charging interface of the latest power distribution value at this time; at the same time, the MCU continuously collects the output voltage and current signals of the interface, converts the collected analog quantity into digital quantity through ADC, converts the voltage and current values, and calculates the output power value, then notifies the serial touch screen driver IC of the latest real-time output power value of C1 and C2 through UART signal (according to the corresponding protocol) at a certain interval period; after the serial touch screen obtains the UART signal of the MCU, the real-time output power value of C1 and C2 is also parsed, and the real-time output power value obtained is refreshed to the power display interface.

[0175] The power configuration method for the charging device proposed in the embodiment of the application opens the interface power distribution configuration and leaves it to the user to configure actively, which can cover different use habits of each user (including the combination of the device charging selection, the interface charging use habit, etc.), truly reflects the more human characteristics of power distribution, and improves the interactive use experience with the charging device. In addition, it can also solve the compatibility problem caused by the device threshold due to the power distribution strategy at the user end (when the compatibility problem occurs, the user can adjust the power distribution to quickly solve it). In addition, when multiple devices are connected to the charging device for charging, the user can actively configure the power of each charging interface to achieve the optimal charging efficiency.

[0176] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowcharts involved in the embodiments described above are shown in sequence according to the arrows, the steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified herein, the execution of the steps is not strictly limited in sequence, and the steps can be executed in other sequences.
