Detailed description of the invention
In order to more fully hereinafter understand feature and the technology contents of the present invention, the realization to the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, appended accompanying drawing purposes of discussion only for reference, is not used for limiting the present invention.
Technical scheme according to embodiments of the present invention, electronic equipment detects when current charge mode is to be charged by charging adapter, owing to electronic equipment is directly directly connected to power supply by charging adapter, charging cable can be caused to power on flow through big and cause charging cable to generate heat, charging cable is made to be under febrile state for a long time, the charging performance of charging cable will be had a strong impact on, the situation burning out charging cable can be caused time serious, it is also possible to cause fire etc..Charging cable generates heat, and the experience effect of user is the best.
The embodiment of the present invention is just for this technical problem, when electronic equipment detect be directly to be charged by charging adapter time, the output electric current of charging adapter charging is limited so that it is less than the threshold value set, so that charging cable does not haves overheated phenomenon.Below by way of concrete example, it is further elucidated with the essence of embodiment of the present invention technical scheme.
Embodiment one
Fig. 1 is the schematic flow sheet of the method reducing charging cable heating of the embodiment of the present invention one, and as shown in Fig. 1, the method reducing charging cable heating of this example comprises the following steps:
Step 101, whether the charging port of detection electronic equipment has charging connector to insert, and sometimes performs step 102.
In this step, when the charging port of electronic equipment has charging connector to access, electronic equipment can detect the change in voltage of charging port, such that it is able to judge whether charging port has charging connector to access.After charging connector is linked into charging port, the charging circuit in electronic equipment also can produce electric current, thus also can determine whether out the situation that charging connector accesses.Electronic equipment can be by the curent change etc. in the change in voltage of charging port or charging circuit, it is easy to determine whether charging port inserts charging connector.
In the embodiment of the present invention, after determining whether charging port inserts charging connector, also need to further determine that current charge mode, i.e. it needs to be determined that be currently the charging carried out by USB mode, or be directly connected the charging carried out with power supply by charging adapter.In the embodiment of the present invention, current charge mode is that USB mode is when charging, due to USB mode charge output voltage be stable, therefore charging current and charging voltage are all stable, and charging voltage charging current is all to meet USB mode to charge the voltage of relevant criterion and electric current, electronic equipment, by detection charging current or charging voltage, i.e. can determine that current charge mode is that USB mode is charged.And when if charge mode is charging adapter charging, be directly connected with power supply due to charging adapter, its charging voltage and charging current all can have corresponding change by the adjustment of charging adapter.And the voltage that voltage entirety during charging adapter charging is charged higher than USB mode, therefore, by detecting current charging voltage and charging current, i.e. can determine that current charge mode is that USB mode is charged, or charging adapter charging.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when determine current charge mode be USB mode charge time, it is all to set electric current and setting voltage due to its charging voltage and charging current, and voltage and electric current relatively low, also its charging voltage and charging current cannot be adjusted, therefore without its charging voltage and charging current are controlled.
