Description

Charging system, charging equipment and charging control method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of charging management, in particular to a charging system, charging equipment and a charging control method capable of realizing refined constant-current charging.
Background
With the use of TWS (True Wireless Stereo) Wireless devices, users are increasingly demanding Wireless devices, such as TWS headsets and the like. At present, the TWS wireless device is powered by a built-in battery, when the power consumption of the device reaches a certain level (for example, below 10%), it is prompted that charging is needed, and the user connects the TWS wireless device with a charging device to charge the TWS wireless device until the TWS wireless device is fully charged.
Currently, for example, a TWS wireless headset performs charging operation, the TWS headset is usually placed in a matched headset charging box, and the charging process is substantially the same as that of other rechargeable batteries at the present stage, as shown in fig. 1, in the prior art, the charging box performs trickle charging on the TWS headset first, so that the trickle charging is finished after the electric quantity of the headset reaches a certain capacity, and then the charging stage enters a constant-current charging stage, and when the electric quantity of the battery of the headset reaches a certain threshold value, the constant-current charging is finished, and then the constant-voltage charging is started. And finally, the charging equipment performs constant-voltage charging on the earphone until the earphone is fully charged.
However, since the TWS wireless headset and the charging box thereof are required to be small in size so as to be portable, especially, the TWS wireless headset is very small and has a very limited internal space, and it is difficult to place a complex circuit, which also makes it difficult to control the charging process to a desired degree of fineness, especially to control the current in the constant current charging stage, and to achieve a true constant current.
Taking a charging current of 50mA as an optimal charging current in constant current charging as an example, under normal conditions, when the charging current injected into an earphone end reaches 50mA, the charging speed and the charging efficiency should be the highest, but in actual conditions, although the charging box outputs the charging current of 50mA, because other functions exist in the earphone, other functional units may include an LED lamp at the earphone end, a wireless communication unit, an operation memory of a CPU unit inside the earphone, a distributed capacitor, an inductor, a resistor and the like, and these other functional units inevitably shunt a part of current, for example, 10mA is shunted by other functional units, so only 40mA is actually injected into a charging battery of the earphone. The 10mA current shunted by the other functional units is unknown at the charging box end. Moreover, the shunting performed by other functional units at the earphone end is often an uncontrollable and unpredictable sudden event, so that the charging box end cannot be prepared for flow control in advance.
Therefore, the function unit at the earphone end shunts the input charging current uncontrollably, so that the current injected into the rechargeable battery is reduced, the charging box end cannot know in advance or in the future, and the real and expected constant-current charging cannot be realized, so that the charging speed and the charging energy efficiency are reduced.

The power supply voltage output by the power supply equipment 20 is changed through simple electric signal feedback, so that the equipment to be charged always keeps better charging timeliness and lower charging energy consumption in the charging process, the charging times of the power supply equipment 20 can be increased, and the user experience is improved.

In the charging system described above, the device to be charged may be a TWS headset, and the power supply device may be a charging box that provides a charging function for the TWS headset. Through adopting above-mentioned charging system to realize the constant current charging process of TWS earphone, the electric current that has accurately controlled in the power that flows into the earphone keeps at the invariable scope for in the constant current charging stage, keep better charging ageing, lower charging energy consumption all the time, and then make the number of times of charging of box increase, promote user experience and feel.
Next, a charging system formed by the TWS headset and the charging box will be described in detail. As shown in fig. 4, when the TWS headset 100 is charged, it is usually placed in the charging box 200 for charging, and it is also common to perform trickle charging first, then perform constant-current charging, and finally perform constant-voltage charging until the charging is completed. In the constant current charging phase, the output charging current of the preset charging box 200 is 50mA, the output charging voltage of the constant voltage charging (maximum output voltage) of the preset charging box 200 is 5V, the optimal input charging current of the charging power supply in the preset earphone 100 is 50mA, the input charging current value range of the charging power supply in the preset earphone 100 is 50mA ± 5mA, and the full electric quantity of the preset earphone 100 is 4.2V.
In the first case, the electric quantity of the battery (to-be-charged power supply) in the earphone 100 is 3.1V, the output charging voltage value of the charging box 200 is 3.6V, the charging voltage does not reach the constant voltage charging voltage value of 5V, the current detection unit 11 in the earphone 100 obtains the input charging current value i of the battery in the earphone to be 48mA, the current detection unit 11 judges that i is within the preset charging current range value, and the charging voltage is kept at 3.6V for constant current charging.
In the second case, the electric quantity of the battery in the earphone 100 is 3.1V, the output charging voltage value of the charging box 200 is 3.6V, and the charging voltage does not reach the constant voltage charging voltage value of 5V, because the functional unit 14 in the earphone 100 shunts 3mA to the input charging current of the earphone, the current detection unit 11 detects that the charging current value i of the battery in the earphone is 45mA, the current detection unit 11 judges that i is within the preset charging current range value, and the charging voltage is kept at 3.1V for constant current charging.
In the third case, the electric quantity of the battery in the earphone 100 is 3.1V, the output charging voltage value of the charging box 200 is 3.6V, and the charging voltage does not reach the constant voltage charging voltage value of 5V, at this time, the functional unit 14 in the earphone 100 shunts 10mA to the input charging current of the earphone, the current detection unit 11 detects that the charging current value i of the battery in the earphone is 40mA, the current detection unit 11 determines that i is not within the preset charging current range value, that is, less than the threshold value of 45mA, and the current detection unit 11 sends a signal to the first control unit 12 in the earphone, according to the information that "10 mA unit quantity is missing". The first control unit 12 of the earphone controls the field effect transistor to be switched on and off according to the information of the '10 mA unit quantity missing' to form a waveform corresponding to the unit quantity and feed the waveform back to the charging box, the communication identification unit 21 of the charging box identifies the communication information of the '10 mA unit quantity missing' and sends the communication information to the second control unit 22 of the charging box, the second control unit 22 outputs a boosting control signal and a boosting value control signal according to the communication information of the '10 mA unit quantity missing', and the power management unit performs boosting operation corresponding to the unit quantity according to the boosting control signal and the boosting value control signal.
Specifically, setting the communication information "lack of 10mA unit amount" as shown in fig. 5 enables to form a waveform of a certain duty ratio by the operation of switching the MOS transistor on and off, switching the fet on and off N times, for example, 10 times, to form a 10 cycle 90% duty ratio, and then switching the fet off. The 90% duty cycle of the 10 cycles, i.e., corresponds to the communication information "lacking the 10mA unit amount".
By analogy, the 10 periods are marked as "lack of XmA units", which in turn correspond to: taking integers as examples, 10 mA-90%, 20 mA-80%, 30 mA-70%, 80 mA-20%, 10 mA-90%.
That is, the communication identifying unit of the charging box 200 can identify that the charging current of the rechargeable battery "lacks XmA units" in the headset 100 when detecting the duty ratio of 10 cycles, and the specific missing unit amount can be referred to as the ratio of the duty ratio.
In a fourth case, on the basis of the third case, the charging box 200 increases the power supply voltage for the communication information output by the earphone 100, so that the input charging current of the rechargeable battery in the earphone 100 reaches 50mA, when the function unit 14 in the earphone 100 finishes working and stops shunting, at this time, the input charging current of the battery in the earphone 100 reaches 60mA, the current detection unit 11 detects that the charging current value i is 60mA, the current detection unit 11 determines that i is not within the preset charging current range value, that is, greater than the second current threshold value 55mA, and the current detection unit 11 sends a "communication information with an excess of 10mA unit amount" to the first control unit 12 of the earphone. The first control unit 12 controls the field effect transistor to be opened and closed according to the communication information of the 'excess 10mA unit amount', a waveform corresponding to the unit amount is formed and fed back to the charging box, the communication identification unit 21 of the charging box identifies the communication information of the 'excess 10mA unit amount' and sends the communication information to the second control unit of the charging box, the second control unit 22 outputs a voltage reduction control signal and a voltage reduction value control signal according to the communication information of the 'excess 10mA unit amount', and the power management unit performs voltage reduction operation corresponding to the unit amount according to the voltage reduction control signal and the voltage reduction value control signal.
Specifically, setting the communication information of "the amount of excess 10mA units", as in the operation of opening and closing the field effect transistor of fig. 6, enables the formation of a waveform of a certain duty ratio. The switching fet was operated 5 times to form 5 cycles with a 90% duty cycle. The 90% duty cycle of the 5 periods, i.e., corresponds to the communication information of the "10 mA unit amount more".
By analogy, the 5 periods are marked as 'excess XmA unit quantity', and the following are corresponded in sequence: taking integers as examples, 10 mA-90%, 20 mA-80%, 30 mA-70%, 80 mA-20%, 10 mA-90%.
That is, the communication identifying unit 21 of the charging box 200 can identify the charging current as "XmA unit amount excess" of the battery in the headset 100 when detecting the duty ratio of 5 cycles, and the specific unit amount missing can be seen as the ratio of the duty ratio.
In case five, when the output charging voltage of the charging box 200 reaches 5V, the charging box 200 enters a stage of constant voltage charging to the earphone 100 regardless of the "XmA unit excess amount" or "XmA unit amount missing" communication signal fed back by the earphone 100.
It is understood that in the art, when the charging box 200 charges the earphone 100, the current distribution of the functional units in the earphone 100 is not particularly large, which makes it difficult for the charging box 200 to greatly increase the output charging voltage to increase the input charging current of the rechargeable battery in the earphone 100. Therefore, even if the charging box 200 is raised to the 5V output charging voltage because of the communication information fed back by the headset 100, it can be understood that the amount of power of the headset 100 is close to the range of the constant voltage charging.
Fig. 7 is a graph showing the variation trend of the output charging voltage U of the charging box 200 and the input charging current i of the battery in the earphone 100 along with the increase of the earphone power in the charging process of the wireless earphone 100 by the charging box 200 in fig. 4, wherein the time periods t3 and t4 correspond to the feedback adjustment processes of the third case and the fourth case, respectively.
