Referring to fig. 1, the power supply device 100 includes a plurality of battery units 110 and a plurality of switch units 120 connected to the plurality of battery units 110 in a one-to-one correspondence, where the plurality of battery units 110 are used to store electric energy and supply power to a load. One battery unit is correspondingly connected with one switch unit, and the switch unit receives a control instruction and controls the on-off of the switch unit so as to supply power to the battery unit correspondingly connected with the switch unit for a load or charge the battery unit.
The load may be an electronic device that can incorporate the power supply device, for example, any terminal device such as a mobile terminal, a tablet computer, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a POS (Point of Sales), a vehicle-mounted computer, and a wearable device.
Specifically, the battery type of the battery unit may include at least one of a lead-acid battery, a nickel-metal hydride battery, a sodium-sulfur battery, a flow battery, a super capacitor, a lithium battery, and a flexible battery. The battery types of the plurality of battery units may be the same or different.

Fig. 2 is a flow diagram of a multi-cell switching method in one embodiment. In one embodiment, the multi-battery switching method includes steps 202 to 206.
Step 202, when the power supply device supplies power to a load, acquiring the electric quantity information of each battery unit.
When the load is started and the power supply device needs to supply power, any one of the switch units needs to be controlled to be powered on, so that the battery unit which is powered on supplies power to the load through the charging loop.
When the power supply device supplies power to a load, further, the electric quantity information of each battery unit can be collected based on a sampling detection circuit of the power supply device, wherein the sampling detection circuit is used for collecting a voltage signal of each battery unit, and the electric quantity information of each battery unit is obtained according to the voltage signal.
Step 204, when the electric quantity information of the first battery unit does not accord with the preset condition, screening any battery unit of which the electric quantity information accords with the preset condition from unloaded battery units as a second battery unit; the first battery unit is a battery unit which is currently used for supplying power to a load.
Specifically, the battery unit currently supplying power to the load may be defined as a first battery unit, and the switch unit connected to the first battery unit is positioned as a first switch unit. Further, the first battery unit may be any one of the plurality of battery units, or the first battery unit may be determined according to a preset power supply priority, where the first battery unit is a battery unit with a highest priority among the power supply priorities.
When the electric quantity information of the first battery unit which supplies power to the load does not accord with the preset condition, any battery unit of which the electric quantity information accords with the preset condition can be screened from the idle battery units to serve as a second battery unit. That is, the electric quantity information of the second battery unit meets the preset condition and is in an idle state. The no-load state is understood to mean that the load is not currently supplied with power. That is, the number of battery units of which the electric quantity information satisfies the preset condition in the unloaded battery unit may be one or more, and when the number of battery units satisfying the preset condition is plural, the second battery unit may be determined from the plural battery units satisfying the preset condition according to the preset rule. The second battery unit can also be understood as a battery unit which is then required to preferentially supply the load.
And step 206, respectively outputting control instructions to a first switch unit connected with the first battery unit and a second switch unit connected with the second battery unit so as to control the on-off of the first switch unit and the second switch unit and enable the second battery unit to supply power for a load.
Wherein the switch unit connected with the first battery unit is positioned as a first switch unit; the switch connected to the second battery cell is defined as a second battery switch. After the second battery unit is determined, the power supply device may output a control command to a first switch unit connected to the first battery unit and a second switch unit connected to the second battery unit to control on/off of the first switch unit and the second switch unit, so that the second battery unit supplies power to the load. Specifically, the first switch unit may be controlled to be powered off and disconnected from the first battery unit, and the second switch unit may be controlled to be powered on and connected to the second battery unit, so that the second battery unit supplies power to the load.
According to the multi-battery switching method in the embodiment of the application, the electric quantity information of each battery unit can be acquired; when the electric quantity information of the first battery unit does not accord with the preset condition, screening any battery unit of which the electric quantity information accords with the preset condition from the idle battery units as a second battery unit; the first battery unit is a battery unit which supplies power for a load at present; respectively outputting control instructions to a first switch unit connected with the first battery unit and a second switch unit connected with the second battery unit so as to control the on-off of the first switch unit and the second switch unit and enable the second battery unit to supply power for a load; the switching among the multiple battery units can be controlled, the independent power supply of each battery unit is realized, namely, each battery unit can be independently controlled to supply power to a load without mutual interference, the over-discharge is prevented, and the service life of each battery in each battery unit is prolonged; meanwhile, by arranging the plurality of battery units, when a certain battery unit is invalid or fails, the power supply path of the battery unit can be cut off, the normal work of the system is ensured, the battery capacity is increased, and the duration of endurance and use is prolonged.
Further, the above steps 202 to 206 may be repeatedly performed until the electric quantity information of all the battery units does not meet the preset condition, and the multi-battery switching method cannot supply power to the load, that is, the power supply device stops supplying power to the load.
Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating acquiring information of an electric quantity of each battery unit when the power supply device supplies power to a load according to an embodiment. In one embodiment, the obtaining the power information of each battery unit when the power supply device supplies power to the load includes:
step 302, when a first battery unit supplies power to a load, acquiring a voltage signal of each battery unit.
When the first battery switch is powered on, the first battery unit connected with the first battery supplies power to the load, and at the moment, the voltage signal of each battery unit can be collected based on a sampling detection circuit in the power supply device. The sampling detection circuit is respectively connected with the anode of each battery unit, and the cathode of each battery unit is grounded.
Step 304, determining whether the voltage signal is higher than a first preset value.
The power supply device or the electronic apparatus may acquire the voltage signal of each battery cell acquired by the sampling detection circuit. Furthermore, the magnitude of the first preset value can be judged according to the acquired voltage signal. The first preset value is associated with a power supply requirement of a load (a type of the load) and a capacity of each battery unit, the load is different, the capacity of the battery unit is different, and the corresponding first preset value is also different, for example, when the load is a mobile phone and the battery unit is a lithium battery, the first preset value may be set to be 3.4V. The specific value of the first preset value is not further limited herein.
And acquiring corresponding electric quantity information according to the voltage signal of the current battery unit. Specifically, the correspondence between the voltage signal and the electric quantity information may be acquired according to various battery types and models. For example, when the voltage signal of the lithium battery is lower than 3.4V, it may be determined that the lithium battery has a low capacity and is not sufficient to supply power to the load, and when the voltage signal of the lithium battery is higher than 3.4V, it may be determined that the lithium battery has a sufficient capacity and is capable of supplying power to the load.
When the voltage signal is higher than the first preset value, step 306 is executed, and the electric quantity information meets the preset condition. When the voltage signal is lower than the first preset value, step 308 is executed, and the electric quantity information does not meet the preset condition. The preset condition can be understood as the lowest electric quantity information capable of supplying power to the load; the preset condition may be understood as preset power information capable of supplying power to the load, for example, the preset power information may be 2%, 5% or other values of the total power.
Fig. 4 is a flowchart for screening any battery unit with the electric quantity information meeting the preset condition from empty battery units as a second battery unit in one embodiment. In one embodiment, the screening, from among unloaded battery units, any battery unit whose charge information meets a preset condition as a second battery unit includes:
step 402, acquiring power supply priorities of a plurality of battery units.
The power supply priority can be understood as a power supply sequence for sequentially supplying power to the loads when the electric quantity information of all the battery units meets the preset condition, wherein the higher the power supply priority is, the earlier the power supply sequence is. For example, the first battery unit in the present application, which has the highest priority for supplying power, supplies power to the load in the initial state. The power supply priority is divided according to the battery type of each battery unit, and the power supply priority may also be divided according to the battery capacity of each battery unit. For example, in the present embodiment, there are four battery cells, each of which is a lithium battery cell, and the four battery cells may be respectively referred to as battery cell 1, battery cell 2, battery cell 3, and battery cell 4, and their corresponding power supply priorities are, from high to low, priority 4, priority 3, priority 2, and priority 1. That is, the highest priority of power supply corresponding to the battery unit 1 is the priority 4, and the battery unit 1 is the first battery unit and preferentially supplies power to the load.
Step 404, when the electric quantity information of the unloaded battery units all meet a preset condition, selecting the battery unit with the highest power supply priority from the unloaded battery units as a second battery unit.
And when the electric quantity information of the unloaded battery units meets the preset condition, selecting the battery unit with the highest power supply priority from the unloaded battery units as a second battery unit. For example, when the battery unit 1 supplies power to a load for a first battery unit, if the power information of the unloaded battery units (including the battery unit 2, the battery unit 3, and the battery unit 4) all meet the preset condition, the battery unit with the highest power supply priority may be selected from the three battery units of the battery unit 2, the battery unit 3, and the battery unit 4 as a second battery unit. Since the power supply priorities of the battery unit 2, the battery unit 3 and the battery unit 4 are priority 3, priority 2 and priority 1 in this order, the battery unit 2 corresponding to the priority 3 may be used as the second battery unit. When the electric quantity information of the first battery does not meet the preset condition, the second battery unit can be switched to supply power to the load.
Accordingly, when controlling the battery unit 2 to supply power to the load, its battery unit 2 will now be defined as the first battery unit. In the process of supplying power to the battery unit 2, if the power information of the battery unit 2 does not meet the preset condition, the battery unit 3 with the highest power supply priority can be selected from the battery units 3 and 4 as the second battery unit to continue supplying power to the load. Similarly, when the battery unit 3 is controlled to supply power to the load, the battery unit 3 is defined as a first battery unit, and in the power supply process of the battery unit 3, if the power information of the battery unit 3 does not meet the preset condition, the battery unit 4 can be selected as a second battery unit to continue to supply power to the load.
In the multi-battery switching method in the embodiment of the application, the power supply priority is set, and the loads are sequentially supplied with power according to the power supply priority, so that the orderliness and the stability of the power supply process can be ensured.
Fig. 5 is a flowchart of an embodiment of respectively outputting a control command to a first switch unit connected to the first battery unit and a second switch unit connected to the second battery unit to control on/off of the first switch unit and the second switch unit, so that the second battery unit supplies power to a load. In one embodiment, the outputting of the control command to a first switch unit connected to the first battery unit and a second switch unit connected to the second battery unit to control on/off of the first switch unit and the second switch unit, so that the second battery unit supplies power to a load includes:
step 502, controlling to output a first control instruction to the second switch unit, so that the second switch unit is powered on and powered on, and the second battery unit supplies power to a load.
Step 504, the delay control outputs a second control command to the first switch unit, so that the first switch unit is powered off and disconnected.
When the first battery unit supplies power to the load and the electric quantity information of the first battery unit does not accord with the preset condition, a first control instruction is controlled to be output to the second switch unit, so that the second switch unit is electrified and conducted, and the second battery unit supplies power to the load. Meanwhile, the delay control outputs a second control instruction to the first switch unit to enable the first switch unit to be powered off and disconnected. That is, the first control command and the second control command are not issued at the same time, and the second control command is issued with a delay with respect to the first control command, that is, the second control command is later than the issue time of the first control command.
It should be noted that the delay time of the delay control may be set according to actual needs, for example, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, or other values, and the setting of the delay time may ensure that the first battery unit and the second battery unit simultaneously supply power to the load without interference during the delay time.
Specifically, the first control instruction is a high level signal, and the second control instruction is a low level signal. The second switch unit is electrified and conducted by controlling and outputting a high-level signal to the second switch unit, and the second battery unit connected with the second switch unit is connected to the power supply loop so as to supply power to the load. Correspondingly, the control unit outputs a low level signal to the first switch unit, so that the first switch unit is powered off, and a power supply loop for supplying power to the load by the first battery unit is cut off.
Optionally, the first control instruction and the second control instruction are both pulse signals, where the number of the pulse signals is different. For example, on/off logic of each switch unit may be set in advance. For example, when the number of the pulse signals is one, the conduction of the first switch unit is indicated, and when the number of the pulse signals is two, the disconnection of the first switch unit is indicated; for example, when the number of the pulse signals is three, it indicates that the second switching unit is turned on, and when the number of the pulse signals is four, it indicates that the second switching unit is turned off. The number of the pulse signals and the on-off logic of each switch unit can be set according to actual requirements, and no further limitation is made here.
In the embodiment of the application, a delay control method is adopted, and the control logic which is firstly conducted and then disconnected is utilized, so that each battery unit can be ensured to be independently controlled to be connected into a power supply loop to supply power to a load, the switching stability and reliability among the battery units are ensured, the phenomenon of load power failure in the moment of switching can be avoided, and meanwhile, the control logic is simple and reliable.
In one embodiment, the multi-battery switching method further includes a step of outputting a warning signal when the electric quantity information of all the battery units does not meet a preset condition.
Specifically, when the electric quantity information of each battery unit in the plurality of battery units does not accord with the preset condition, the output warning information can be controlled to prompt the user to charge the power supply device or the electronic equipment and charge the power supply device, so that the influence on the use of the user due to insufficient electric quantity is avoided.
Further, if it is detected that an external adapter or a USB is inserted to charge the power supply apparatus, a shutdown operation is performed after a certain time.
Fig. 6 is a flow chart of a multi-cell switching method in another embodiment. In another embodiment, a method for switching multiple batteries:
step 602, when the power supply device supplies power to a load, acquiring power information of each battery unit.
Step 604, when the electric quantity information of the first battery unit does not meet the preset condition, any battery unit with the electric quantity information meeting the preset condition is screened from the unloaded battery units to serve as a second battery unit.
Step 606, respectively outputting a control instruction to a first switch unit connected with the first battery unit and a second switch unit connected with the second battery unit to control the on-off of the first switch unit and the second switch unit, so that the second battery unit supplies power for a load.
In the embodiment of the present application, the steps 602 to 606 correspond to the steps 202 to 206 in the previous embodiment one to one, and thus, the description is omitted here.
Step 608, detecting whether to trigger a charging function of the power supply device.
The electronic equipment with the built-in power supply device can detect whether an external adapter or a USB is connected with the charging device, when the external adapter or the USB is connected with the power supply device, the charging function of the power supply device is considered to be triggered, and if no external equipment capable of charging the power supply device is detected to be accessed, the charging function of the power supply device is considered not to be triggered.
Step 610, when the charging function of the power supply device is triggered, acquiring a voltage signal of each battery unit.
When the power supply device is in a charging state, a voltage signal of each charging unit can be acquired. Specifically, the voltage signal can be acquired by a sampling detection circuit in the power supply device. The sampling detection circuit is respectively connected with the positive electrode of each battery unit, and the negative electrode of each battery unit is grounded.
And 612, sequentially and independently charging the plurality of battery units of which the voltage signals are lower than a second preset value according to the charging priority.
The charging priority can be understood as a reverse order of the power supply priority in the foregoing embodiment, that is, the higher the priority of the power supply priority is, the lower the corresponding charging priority is; the lower the priority of the power supply priority, the higher the corresponding charging priority.
Specifically, a voltage signal of each battery unit may be acquired, the acquired plurality of voltage signals are compared with a second preset value, at least one battery unit with a voltage signal smaller than the second preset value is screened, and the screened at least one battery unit is sequentially charged according to the charging priority. When the voltage signal is smaller than the second preset value, the current battery unit is not in a full-charge state, and the battery unit needs to be charged.
For example, the power supply priorities of the battery unit 1, the battery unit 2, the battery unit 3, and the battery unit 4 are, in order, priority 4, priority 3, priority 2, and priority 1; then, the charging priorities of the battery cell 1, the battery cell 2, the battery cell 3, and the battery cell 4 are priority 1, priority 2, priority 3, and priority 4 in this order. When the voltage signals of the battery unit 1, the battery unit 2, the battery unit 3 and the battery unit 4 are all smaller than the second preset value, it indicates that the battery unit 1, the battery unit 2, the battery unit 3 and the battery unit 4 are all in a non-full state. At this time, the switch unit connected to the battery unit 4 in the power supply device may be controlled to be turned on and off, and the switch unit of another battery unit may be turned off, so that the battery unit 1 may be charged by the external adapter or the USB.
In the embodiment of the application, when the charging function of the power supply device is triggered, the state of each battery unit is detected, the plurality of battery units with the voltage signals lower than the second preset value can be sequentially and independently charged according to the charging priority, and the switching among the plurality of battery units can be controlled in order, safely and reliably according to the charging priority, so that the independent charging of each battery unit is realized, and the charging function is not interfered with each other. Meanwhile, irreversible influence on simultaneous charging of a plurality of battery units caused by overlarge charging current can be avoided.
Fig. 7 is a flowchart illustrating sequentially and independently charging a plurality of battery cells with the voltage signals lower than a second predetermined value according to the charging priority in one embodiment. In one embodiment, the independently charging the plurality of battery units of which the voltage signals are lower than the second preset value according to the charging priority in sequence comprises:
step 702, screening out at least one battery unit to be charged, of which the voltage signal is lower than a second preset value.
Specifically, a voltage signal of each battery unit may be acquired, the acquired plurality of voltage signals may be compared with a second preset value, and at least one battery unit to be charged, of which the voltage signal is smaller than the second preset value, may be screened out. When the voltage signal is smaller than the second preset value, the current battery unit is not in a full-charge state, and the battery unit needs to be charged.
It should be noted that the second preset value is associated with the power supply requirement of the load (the type of the load) and the capacity of each battery unit, and the second preset value is different when the load is different and the capacity of the battery unit is different. For example, when the load is a mobile phone and the battery unit is a lithium battery, the second preset value may be set to 4.2V. The specific value of the second preset value is not further limited herein.
