Solution Overview

Problem

Shared power supplies in traditional charging systems experience uneven usage and reduced service life due to continuous ejection and charging sequences based on power requirements and slot order, leading to imbalanced lending times and service life.

Innovation Solution

A shared charging cabinet with an ejecting control method that sorts power supplies based on lending times and remaining power, prioritizing those with lower lending times and higher remaining power for balanced usage and extended service life, using a processor and communication module to manage the sequence.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If shared power supplies are ejected in sequence according to charging slot order and power requirements, then the charging cabinet can efficiently manage and distribute power supplies, but individual power supplies experience continuous ejection and charging cycles leading to reduced service life and uneven usage distribution

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharging cabinet efficiencyVSAvoidservice life of power supplies
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the sorting parameters from simple slot order to a comprehensive evaluation system that includes lending times, remaining power, and usage frequency. This parameter transformation allows the system to optimize both operational efficiency and power supply longevity by selecting which power supplies to eject based on their historical usage patterns and current state, rather than fixed positional rules

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Duration of action of moving object

If shared power supplies are continuously ejected and recharged in a fixed sequence, then the system maintains operational continuity, but the lending times and usage life of individual power supplies become unbalanced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoperational continuityVSAvoiduniformity of lending times
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of moving objectVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring lending times, remaining power levels, and usage patterns of each power supply. This feedback information is used to dynamically adjust the ejection sequence, ensuring that power supplies with lower lending times and higher remaining power are prioritized for ejection, thereby balancing the overall usage distribution across all power supplies in the cabinet

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A shared charging cabinet and an ejecting control method thereof are provided. The method includes the steps of: a comprehensive ranking of shared power supplies (200) currently contained in the shared charging cabinet (100) is performed according to lending times and remaining power of shared power supplies; when the shared charging cabinet (100) receives a lending instruction, one of the shared power supplies (200) is controlled to be ejected according to the comprehensive ranking in response to the lending instruction. Therefore, the ejecting order of the shared power supplies (200) in this application is determined according to the lending times and the remaining power of the shared power supplies (200), so that the ejecting times of the shared power supplies (200) in the shared charging cabinet (100) is balanced, and the service life of the shared power supplies (200) can be further balanced.
