In this embodiment, n =5 and the number of the power intervals is also n, and in actual implementation, more detailed division may be performed, for example: n =10, the power range is divided into 10, and the value of n is not limited in this embodiment.

And 105, turning on m indicator lights according to a preset expression form and a flicker frequency.
Optionally, the manner of turning on the m indicator lights according to the preset expression and the flashing frequency includes, but is not limited to, the following:
the first method comprises the following steps: and starting m indicator lights in a water lamp mode according to the determined flicker frequency.
In one example, the ith indicator lamp in the m indicator lamps is controlled to be turned on; i sequentially taking integers from 1 to m-1; after the ith indicator lamp is turned on, controlling the (i + 1) th indicator lamp to be turned on; when i +1 is less than m, enabling i = i +1, and executing the step of controlling the ith indicator lamp in the m indicator lamps to be turned on again; and when the i +1=m is detected, controlling the m indicator lamps to be turned off, enabling i =1 again, and executing the step of controlling the ith indicator lamp in the m indicator lamps to be turned on.
And the time length for turning on the ith indicator lamp is determined according to the flashing frequency of the ith indicator lamp.
Optionally, during one flashing of the indicator light, the on time of the ith indicator light = the flashing frequency × k, k is a value greater than 0 and less than 1. In this example, the time lengths of the m indicator lights which are turned on in one flashing process are reduced one by one, that is, the values of k are reduced one by one, and the flashing frequencies of the m indicator lights are the same.
Referring to the representation shown in fig. 2, n =5,m =3 is taken as an example. Assuming that the flashing frequencies of the m indicator lights are all 0.5 second each time, and the k value of the first indicator light is 0.9 in the process of flashing once, the time length of the first indicator light is 0.5 x 0.9=0.45; if the k value of the second indicator light is 0.8, the time length for turning on the second indicator light is 0.5 x 0.8=0.4; the k value of the third indicator light is 0.7, and the time period for which the third indicator light is turned on is 0.5 × 0.7=0.35. At the moment, the control component controls the n indicator lamps to be turned off before charging; then, controlling a first indicator lamp to be turned on in the charging process; then, keeping the starting state of the first indicator light, and controlling the second indicator light to be started; then, keeping the starting state of the first indicator light and the second indicator light, and controlling the third indicator light to be started; the method comprises the steps of ensuring that the starting time of a first indicator light reaches 0.45 second, the starting time of a second indicator light reaches 0.4 second and the starting time of a third indicator light reaches 0.35 second, then, after 3 indicator lights are turned off for 0.05 second, executing the step of controlling the first indicator light to be turned on again so as to ensure that the flicker frequency of the first indicator light, the second indicator light and the third indicator light is 0.5 second each time.
In another example, the jth indicator lamp in the m indicator lamps is controlled to be turned on, and all other m-1 indicator lamps are controlled to be turned off; j is an integer of 1 to m-1 in sequence; when the starting time of the jth indicator lamp reaches the preset time, the jth indicator lamp is turned off, and meanwhile, the (j + 1) th indicator lamp is turned on; when j +1 is less than m, enabling j = j +1 and controlling the j-th indicator lamp of the m indicator lamps to be turned on again and controlling other m-1 indicator lamps to be turned off completely; and when j +1=m, making j =1 and controlling the j-th indicator lamp of the m indicator lamps to be turned on again, and controlling the other m-1 indicator lamps to be turned off completely.
The preset time length is determined based on the flicker frequency of the jth indicator light, and the flicker frequency and the preset time length are in a negative correlation relationship. Optionally, the indicator light is in one flashing process, the preset time length = the flashing frequency × k, and k is a value greater than 0 and less than 1.
Optionally, the flashing frequencies of the m indicator lights are the same. Of course, the flashing frequencies of the m indicator lights may also be different.
Optionally, in order to ensure that when the jth indicator light is turned on, the other indicator lights are turned off, the turning-off time duration of each indicator light in the m indicator lights is greater than or equal to the sum of the preset time durations of the other indicator lights.
Referring to the expression shown in fig. 3, n =5,m =3 is taken as an example. Assuming that the flashing frequency of the m indicator lights is 0.5 second each time, in order to ensure that the turn-off time of each indicator light is greater than or equal to the sum of the preset time of other indicator lights in one flashing process, the k value of each indicator light may be set to 0.2 (of course, other values meeting the above condition may also be adopted), and then the preset time of each indicator light is 0.1 second. At the moment, the control component controls the n indicator lamps to be turned off before charging; then, the control component controls the first indicator light to be turned on in the charging process; after 0.1 second, turning off the first indicator light and controlling the second indicator light to be turned on; after 0.1 second, turning off the second indicator light and controlling the third indicator light to be turned on; and after 0.2 second, the step of controlling the first indicator light to be turned on is executed again so as to ensure that the flickering frequency of the first indicator light, the second indicator light and the third indicator light is 0.5 second each time.
And the second method comprises the following steps: and controlling the m-th indicator light to flicker according to the determined flicker frequency.
Schematically, controlling the first m-1 indicator lamps in the m indicator lamps to be turned on; and controlling the mth indicator lamp to flicker according to the flicker frequency.
Referring to the expression shown in fig. 4, n =5,m =3 is taken as an example. Assuming that the flashing frequency is 0.5 second per time, the control component controls the first 2 indicator lamps to be turned on, and controls the 3 rd indicator lamp to flash according to 0.5 second per time.
And the third is that: and controlling the m indicator lamps to synchronously flash according to the determined flash frequency.
Illustratively, m indicator lights are controlled to be turned on or off simultaneously according to the flashing frequency.
Referring to the expression shown in fig. 5, n =5,m =3 is taken as an example. Assuming that the blinking frequency is 0.5 seconds per time, the control component controls the 3 rd indicator light to blink synchronously at 0.5 seconds per time.
Optionally, the n indicator lights are controlled to be turned off when the current electric quantity of the battery pack reaches the electric quantity maximum value.
In summary, in the method for displaying the charging status provided in this embodiment, n indicator lights are arranged on the battery pack, the electric tool, or the charging device, and the n indicator lights are controlled to be turned off before the battery pack is charged; the method comprises the steps of obtaining current charging current and current electric quantity of a battery pack when the battery pack is charged; determining the starting number m of the n indicator lights according to the current electric quantity, wherein the starting number m is in positive correlation with the current electric quantity; determining the flicker frequency of at least one indicator lamp in the m indicator lamps according to the current charging current, wherein the flicker frequency is in positive correlation with the current charging current; turning on m indicator lights according to a preset expression form and a flicker frequency; the problem that the charging state information provided by the existing charging state display method is limited can be solved; because the charging speed can be represented by the flashing frequency and the current electric quantity can be represented by the number of the turned-on indicator lamps, more charging states can be displayed when the battery pack is charged, and more charging state information can be provided.
