Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a first structural schematic diagram of a charging circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The charging circuit 100 is connected to the battery 14, and the charging circuit 100 is used for charging the battery 14. Here, the battery 14 has two charging terminals, which may be named as a first charging terminal 141 and a second charging terminal 142, and the first charging terminal 141 and the second charging terminal 142 may be disposed at the same end portion or different end portions of the battery 14. The charging circuit 100 may include: a wired charging circuit 110 and a wireless charging circuit 120.

The input terminal of the wired charging circuit 110 is connected to the output terminal of the wired charger, and the output terminal of the wired charging circuit is connected to the first charging terminal 141 of the battery 14. The wired charging circuit 110 may charge the battery 14 through the first charging terminal 141.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a second structural schematic diagram of a charging circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The wired charging circuit 110 may include a wired charging module 111 and a wired charging management chip 112. The input terminal of the wired charging module 111 may be connected to the output terminal of the wired charger, the output terminal of the wired charging module 111 is connected to the input terminal of the wired charging management chip 112, and the output terminal of the wired charging management chip 112 is connected to the first charging terminal 141 of the battery 14.

Therefore, when the user uses the wired charging module 111 to charge the battery 14, the wired charger and the wired charging module 111 can be plugged into each other, for example, the wired charger and the wired charging module 111 are plugged into each other through a type-c interface to achieve connection, so as to achieve the purpose that the wired charger charges the battery 14 through the wired charging module 111 and the wired charging management chip 112.

In some embodiments, there may be one or two or more wired charging management chips 112. Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a third structure of a charging circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The two wired charge management chips 112 are connected in parallel. The input signals and the output signals of the two wired charging management chips 112 are the same, and the input currents and the output currents of the two wired charging management chips 112 are the same, so that shunting is realized, and under the condition that the total power of the wired charging circuit 110 is not changed, the power of a single wired charging management chip 112 can be reduced, and the heat of the single wired charging management chip 112 can be reduced.

Wherein, the output terminal of the wireless charging circuit 120 is connected to the second charging terminal 142 of the battery 14. The wireless charging circuit 120 may charge the battery 14 through the second charging terminal 142. As shown in fig. 4, the wireless charging circuit 120 may include a wireless charging module 121 and a wireless charging management chip 122, wherein an output terminal of the wireless charging module 121 is connected to an input terminal of the wireless charging management chip 122, and an output terminal of the wireless charging management chip 122 is connected to the second charging terminal 142 of the battery 14.

Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of a wireless charging module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The wireless charging module 121 may include a wireless receiving coil 1211, a matching circuit 1212, and a wireless conversion chip 1213. The output end of the wireless receiving coil 1211 is connected to the input end of the matching circuit 1212, the output end of the matching circuit 1212 is connected to the input end of the wireless conversion chip 1213, and the output end of the wireless conversion chip 1213 is connected to the input end of the wireless charging management chip 122.

The wireless receiving coil 1211 may be disposed on an inner surface of the housing 11 of the electronic device 10, and the wireless receiving coil 1211 may be embedded in the housing 11, or a through hole may be formed in the housing 11 to dispose the receiving coil 1211 in the through hole. The matching circuit 1212 is used to tune the signal received by the wireless receiving coil 1211. The wireless conversion chip 1213 can convert the ac signal into a dc signal. The wireless conversion chip 1213 may also filter the signals it receives to filter out unwanted signals.

As can be seen from the above, when the user charges the battery 14 using the wireless charging circuit 120, the wireless charger may be aligned with the wireless receiving coil 1211, and the wireless receiving coil 1211 may receive the electromagnetic wave signal transmitted by the wireless charger in a wireless receiving manner, i.e. the receiving end of the wireless receiving coil 1211 may receive the electromagnetic wave signal. Then, the wireless receiving coil 1211 may transmit the received electromagnetic wave signal to the wireless converting chip 1213, the wireless converting chip 1213 may convert, filter, etc. the electromagnetic wave signal into a direct current, and transmit the direct current to the wireless charging management chip 122, and the wireless charging management chip 122 may charge the battery 14 through the second charging terminal 142.

The wired charging circuit 110 according to the embodiment of the present application can charge the battery 14 through the first charging terminal 141, and the wireless charging circuit 120 can charge the battery 14 through the second charging terminal 142. The wired charging circuit 110 and the wireless charging circuit 120 are respectively connected to two different charging terminals of the battery 14, and can be used for charging the battery 14 individually or together, so that the charging efficiency can be improved. In addition, compared with the case where both the wired charging circuit 110 and the wireless charging circuit 120 are connected to the same charging terminal of the battery 14, even if one of the terminals of the battery 14 is damaged, the battery 14 can be charged through the other charging terminal, thereby further improving the charging efficiency.

It can be understood that, in the actual wireless charging process, for a low-power wireless charging, for example, the power is less than 5w, since the power itself is small, the heat generation of the wireless receiving coil 1211, the wireless converting chip 1213 and the wireless charging management chip 122 during the charging process is not serious, and the wireless charging can be performed with a constant power. However, since the power is small, the charging speed is slow.

For high-power wireless charging, for example, the power is greater than 7.5w, or the power is greater than 10w, and the charging speed is fast due to the greater power. In the actual wireless charging process, if the power is continuously charged wirelessly for a period of time (for example, ten minutes or twenty minutes), the wireless receiving coil 1211, the wireless converting chip 1213 and the wireless charging management chip 122 may overheat, especially the wireless charging management chip 122 may overheat, and an intermittent wireless charging manner or a reduction in charging power may be required to cool down the wireless charging management chip 122, so as to ensure the safety of the charging process.

It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the battery 14 can be continuously charged under high power without using intermittent charging, the wireless charging management chip 122 of the embodiment of the present application may be two or more. Two or more wireless charging management chips 122 are connected in parallel, and the two or more wireless charging management chips 122 jointly charge the battery 14. In the actual charging process, the two or more wireless charging management chips 122 mutually disperse heat, so that the heat of the single wireless charging management chip 122 is greatly reduced, the temperature of the single wireless charging management chip 122 is not too high under the condition of ensuring high-power wireless charging, and the battery 14 can be continuously charged wirelessly in a high-power mode.

In some embodiments, there may be two wireless charging management chips 122, and the two wireless charging management chips 122 are connected in parallel. Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a fourth structural schematic diagram of a charging circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The two wireless charging management chips 122 are connected in parallel, and the two wireless charging management chips 122 are respectively connected to the second charging terminals 142 of the battery 14, so as to charge the battery 14 together.

The models of the two wireless charging management chips 122 may be the same, and the input signal and the output signal of the two wireless charging management chips 122 may be the same. In an actual wireless charging process, the input power and the output power of the two wireless charging management chips 122 may be the same, for example, the input current and the output current of the two wireless charging management chips 122 are the same, so as to implement shunting, and under the condition that the total power of the wired charging circuit 110 is not changed, the power of the single wired charging management chip 112 may be reduced, and the heat of the single wired charging management chip 112 may be reduced. The heating conditions of the two wireless charging management chips 122 can be the same, so that the situation that one wireless charging management chip 122 heats seriously and the other wireless charging management chip 122 does not heat is avoided.

As can be seen from the above, in the wireless charging process of the embodiment of the present application, the two wireless charging management chips 122 can mutually disperse heat, so that it can be ensured that a single wireless charging management chip 122 is not overheated under the condition of continuous high-power charging, and the safety of the charging circuit 100 is ensured.

It should be noted that the number of the wireless charging management chips 122 in the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto, please refer to fig. 8, and fig. 8 is a fifth structural schematic diagram of the charging circuit provided in the embodiment of the present application. The number of the wireless charging management chips 122 may be three, and the three wireless charging management chips 122 are connected in parallel. The three wireless charging management chips 122 are respectively connected to the second charging terminals 142, and the three wireless charging management chips 122 can collectively charge the battery 14. More power may be achieved to charge battery 14, such as power 15 w.

It should be noted that the number of the wireless charging management chips 122 may be four or more. And will not be described in detail herein.

In some embodiments, when the first detection module 1121 detects that the first charging terminal 141 is in a normal state, the controller 130 may control the wired charging circuit 110 to charge the battery 14.

In some embodiments, when the second detection module 1221 detects that the second charging terminal 142 is in the normal state, the controller 130 may control the wireless charging circuit 120 to charge the battery 14. When the second detection module 1221 detects that the second charging terminal 142 is in an abnormal state, the controller 130 may control the wireless charging circuit 120 and the battery 14 to be disconnected. The controller 130 may also control the communication circuit 1323 of the electronic device 10 to send an alarm signal, such as an alarm message, to the display 12 for display, and then send the alarm message to sound through a speaker, for example, to notify the user that the second charging terminal 142 is abnormal.

It should be noted that the charging circuit 100 may be provided with only the first detection module 1121, and not provided with the second detection module 1221. The charging circuit 100 may be provided with only the second detection module 1221 without the first detection module 1121.

Even if one of the charging terminals of the battery 14 is detected to be abnormal, the battery 14 can be charged through the other charging terminal of the battery 14, and the charging efficiency can be improved.

The wired charging circuit 110 and the wireless charging circuit 120 according to the embodiment of the present invention are respectively connected to two charging terminals of the battery 14 to respectively charge the battery 14, and once one of the charging terminals is damaged, the battery 14 can be charged through the other charging terminal. Such as damage to the first charging terminal 141, the wireless charging circuit 120 may charge the battery 14 through the second charging terminal 142. Further, for example, when the second charging terminal 142 is damaged, the wired charging circuit 110 may charge the battery 14 through the first charging terminal 141.

It should be noted that when the charging terminals of the battery 14 are damaged, the battery 14 can only be charged by the wired charging circuit 110 or the wireless charging circuit 120, and the selectivity of the charging circuit 100 for charging the battery 14 is reduced.

Referring to fig. 13, fig. 13 is a tenth structural schematic diagram of a charging circuit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The charging circuit 100 may further include a detection unit 150, and the detection unit 150 may be integrated in the regulation circuit 140. Wherein the detecting unit 150 is used for detecting the state of the first charging terminal 141, and the detecting unit 150 is used for detecting the state of the second charging terminal 142.
