Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
Referring to fig. 1, an alternative structure of a power supply device provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown, which may include: an array of conductive elements 100, a detection unit 200 and a processing unit 300.
The detection unit 200 and the processing unit 300 are shown in dashed line to illustrate that the detection unit 200 and the processing unit 300 may be located below the conductive element array 100 to facilitate monitoring of the conductive elements 101 in the conductive element array 100 by the detection unit 200 and the processing unit 300. Of course, the detecting unit 200 and the processing unit 300 may be disposed in other ways, such as the detecting unit 200 and the processing unit 300 are disposed on one side of the conductive unit array 100, and the detecting unit 200 and the processing unit 300 are disposed on the same side to facilitate communication between the detecting unit 200 and the processing unit 300. Whether the sensing unit 200 and the processing unit 300 are located under the conductive cell array 100 or the sensing unit 200 and the processing unit 300 are located at one side of the conductive cell array 100, wiring is required between the sensing unit 200, the processing unit 300, and the conductive cell array 100 to enable communication between the parties.
Two conductive units 101 in the conductive unit array 100 are contacted by one power receiving apparatus, enabling the power receiving apparatus to be powered by the power supply apparatus based on the two conductive units being turned on. That is, when two conductive units 101 are in contact with the power receiving device, the two conductive units 101 are conducted by the power receiving device in contact with the two conductive units 101, and the conducted two conductive units 101 supply power to the power receiving device in contact with the two conductive units 101.
It is understood that the power receiving device includes two power receiving units, the power receiving device may contact with the plurality of conductive units 101, and the conductive unit 101 that is turned on refers to: a conductive unit 101 that is in contact with a power receiving unit in the power receiving apparatus. That is, of the plurality of conductive units 101 in contact with the power receiving apparatus, two conductive units 101 are in contact with the power receiving unit in the power receiving apparatus, respectively, and the two conductive units 101 in contact with the power receiving unit are electrically conducted by the power receiving unit, whereby the two conductive units 101 in contact with the power receiving unit may be the electrically conducted two conductive units 101.
In this embodiment, the two conductive units 101 are in contact with the power receiving apparatus means that the two conductive units 101 are in contact with two power receiving units of the power receiving apparatus respectively, so that the conductive units 101 and the power receiving units are in one-to-one contact relationship, and power supply to the power receiving apparatus is realized by supplying power to the power receiving unit, where the form of the two power receiving units of the power receiving apparatus may be, but is not limited to: the electrode, two electrodes of powered device can set up in the bottom of powered device, so set up in the bottom of powered device because in the powered device with the corresponding one side of bottom can set up to display area or user operation region usually, if set up the electrode in the corresponding one side of bottom and then can influence the display in display area and user operation and increase the setting degree of difficulty of electrode to the powered device demonstrates usually can demonstrate the one side corresponding with the bottom when showing, avoids the electrode to influence the pleasing to the eye of powered device. The shape of the electrode for the powered device may be, but is not limited to: the thickness of the electrode used in the same power receiving device may be the same, but the shape, thickness, and the like of the electrode are not limited in this embodiment.
For example, fig. 2 shows a schematic contact diagram of a power receiving device and a power supply device, where the power receiving device in fig. 2 is a notebook computer, a dotted area on the power supply device is an area of the power supply device occupied by the notebook computer, and the notebook computer is shown in contact with a plurality of conductive units 101 in the power supply device.
The circular black dots in fig. 2 (for example only) represent the power receiving unit of the notebook computer, and the conductive units 101 in contact with the circular black dots (power receiving unit) are turned on, and as can be seen from fig. 2, even though the notebook computer is in contact with a plurality of conductive units 101 in the power supply apparatus, only the conductive units 101 in contact with the circular black dots (power receiving unit) are turned on.
In addition, the power supplied to the power receiving device by the power receiving device based on the two conductive units being turned on means that: the power supply apparatus charges the powered apparatus, or the power supply apparatus provides power support for the powered apparatus. If the power supply device is installed on the power receiving device, the power receiving device does not provide power support for the components of the power receiving device through the power supply device, but provides power support for the components of the power receiving device by using the power provided by the power supply device, so that the power supply of the power receiving device can be continuously used when the power receiving device is not in contact with the power supply device, and the service time of the power receiving device is prolonged. In other words, the power supply device charges the power supply of the power receiving device, and the power receiving device provides power support for its components through its power supply. The powered device may not have a power source installed, and the powered device receives power provided by the power sourcing equipment to provide power support to the components of the powered device.
A detection unit 200 for generating detection data during the contact of the power receiving apparatus with two conductive units 101 in the conductive unit array 100. In this embodiment, the detection unit 200 can detect that the power receiving apparatus is in contact with two conductive units 101 in the conductive unit array 100 to generate detection data that can be directed to the power receiving apparatus, and the detection data directed to the power receiving apparatus is transmitted to the processing unit 300, so that the processing unit 300 can control power supply of the power supply apparatus based on the detection data. The processing unit 300 controls the power supply of the power supply apparatus based on the detection data as follows:
a processing unit 300, configured to determine a charging parameter of the powered device based on the detection data, and control the power supply device to supply power to the powered device based on the charging parameter of the powered device, so that the power supply device can provide an electrical parameter matching the charging parameter, such as a voltage matching the charging parameter, to the powered device based on the charging parameter of the powered device.
One function of the detection data is that the detection data can indicate the type of the powered device, and the charging parameters of different types of powered devices are different, for example, the charging parameters of three types of powered devices, i.e., a laptop, a mobile phone, and a mouse, are different, so the processing unit 300 can determine the type of the powered device based on the detection data and determine the charging parameter of the powered device based on the type of the powered device.
In the present embodiment, one expression of the detection data is the shape of the power receiving apparatus, and the detection unit 200 includes a shape detection unit for detecting the shape of the power receiving apparatus in contact with the two conductive units that are turned on. Correspondingly, the processing unit 300 is connected to the shape detection unit, and is configured to obtain a shape of the powered device contacted by the two conductive units that are turned on, determine a type of the powered device based on the shape of the powered device contacted by the two conductive units that are turned on, characterize a charging parameter of the powered device, and enable the processing unit 300 to determine the charging parameter of the powered device based on the type of the powered device.
The shape of the power receiving device represents the shape of the power receiving device, and the shapes of different types of power receiving devices are different, and the processing unit 300 may compare the shape of the power receiving device in contact with the two conductive units that are turned on with the shape of the known type of power receiving device, and determine the type of the power receiving device in contact with the two conductive units that are turned on currently.
In the shape comparison process of the processing unit 300, the processing unit 300 may extract an edge of the powered device, compare the edge of the powered device with an edge of a powered device of a known type, and determine the type of the powered device currently in contact with the two conductive units that are turned on. In addition, the areas of the different types of powered devices in contact with the conductive element array 100 are different besides the shapes of the different types of powered devices, for example, for three types of powered devices, namely a notebook computer, a mobile phone and a mouse, the areas of the three types of powered devices in contact with the conductive element array 100 are arranged from large to small: notebook computer, cell-phone, mouse. Based on the shape of this powered device, which may be the area of the powered device in contact with the conductive cell array 100, the processing unit 300 determines the type of the powered device by the area.
In the present embodiment, one way of the shape detection unit is an optical detection device, the detection range of which covers the conductive cell array 100, and the optical detection device can acquire an image of the power receiving apparatus located above the conductive cell array 100 during the process of contacting the power receiving apparatus with the conductive cell array 100. The optical detection device transmits the image of the powered device to the processing unit 300, the processing unit 300 recognizes the image of the powered device by using an image recognition technology to obtain image feature data, the image feature data may indicate the shape of the powered device, so that the processing unit 300 may determine the type of the powered device based on the image feature data, or the processing unit 300 extracts the edge of the powered device from the image of the powered device by using the image recognition technology to obtain the shape of the powered device. Of course, the processing unit 300 can also extract the area of the power receiving apparatus in contact with the conductive unit array 100 from the image of the power receiving apparatus by using the image recognition technology. Another way of the shape detection unit is a sensor assembly located below the conductive cell array 100, the sensor assembly being capable of detecting an area where the power receiving apparatus is in contact with the conductive cell array 100, and the type of the sensor assembly is not limited to this embodiment. The sensor assembly transmits the detected area data to the processing unit 300, and the processing unit 300 determines the type of the powered device through area comparison, thereby obtaining the charging parameter of the powered device.
The shape detection unit takes the image of the powered device or the area where the powered device is in contact with the conductive unit array 100 as the shape of the powered device, so that the processing unit 300 can determine the type of the powered device through simple shape comparison, simplifying the processing logic of the processing unit 300.
The above power supply apparatus includes: the power supply device comprises a conductive unit array 100, a detection unit 200 and a processing unit 300, wherein two conductive units 101 in the conductive unit array 100 are contacted by a power receiving device, and the power receiving device can be powered by the power supply device based on the two conductive units 101 which are conducted; the detection unit 200 generates detection data during the contact of the power receiving apparatus with two conductive units 101 in the conductive unit array 100; and a processing unit 300, configured to determine a charging parameter of the powered device based on the detection data, and control the power supply device to supply power to the powered device based on the charging parameter of the powered device, so as to supply power to the powered device by using the two conductive units 101 in the conductive unit array 100 that are turned on. And the detection unit 200 can detect that the power receiving apparatus is in contact with two conductive units 101 in the conductive unit array 100 to generate detection data, determine a charging parameter of the power receiving apparatus based on the detection data through the processing unit 300, and control power supply of the power supply apparatus using the charging parameter, so that the power supply apparatus can provide the power receiving apparatus with an electrical parameter matching the charging parameter.
In the present embodiment, one expression of the detection data is a voltage value of the powered device, and a corresponding alternative structure of the detection unit 200 is shown in fig. 3, where the detection unit 200 includes: the detection circuit comprises a first resistor 201 and a second resistor 202, wherein the first resistor 201 is connected to a detection line of two conductive units which are conducted, and the power receiving equipment is used as the second resistor 202 on the detection line when the power receiving equipment is in contact with the two conductive units. The first resistor 201 and the second resistor 202 are arranged in series, the first resistor 201 is connected with a power supply, current flows through the first resistor 201 and the second resistor 202 under the action of the power supply, a voltage value passing through the second resistor 202 is collected by the processing unit 300, the processing unit 300 determines the type of the powered device based on the voltage value of the second resistor, and the type of the powered device represents charging parameters of the powered device.
Because the resistance values of different types of power receiving devices are different, when different types of power receiving devices are used as second resistors and connected to a detection line, and under the action of the same power supply and the condition that the first resistor is fixed, the voltage value of the second resistor obtained by the processing unit 300 is also different, so that the processing unit 300 can compare the voltage value of the second resistor with the voltage values of the known types of power receiving devices to determine the type of the power receiving device currently in contact with the two conductive units which are turned on, and the processing logic of the processing unit 300 can be simplified through the voltage value comparison method.
In view of the above-described determination of the type of the powered device by the voltage value of the powered device, an alternative circuit diagram of the power supply device provided in the present embodiment is shown in fig. 4, and the power supply device has a power supply line and a detection line, and a first switch 401 is provided on the power supply line, and the first switch 401 is provided on the power supply input side of the power supply line. The second switch 402 is disposed on the detection circuit, a resistor 201 and a second resistor 202 are also disposed on the detection circuit, and the second resistor 202 is a resistor of the power receiving device contacting with the two conductive units that are conducted, so that the second resistor 202 is not disposed on the detection circuit when the power receiving device is not received in the conductive unit. Also connected to the input side of the power supply is a voltage regulator 403. the voltage regulator 403 converts the power supply voltage to provide a stable voltage to the processing unit 300, for example, a 3.3V voltage to the processing unit 300.
In order for the power receiving apparatus to be able to supply power by the power supply apparatus and to enable the power supply apparatus to detect the type of the power receiving apparatus, the circuit of the power receiving apparatus is adaptively changed as shown in fig. 4. The power receiving apparatus also has a power supply line on which a third switch 404 is provided, and a detection line, the third switch 404 being provided on the power supply input side of the power supply line; a fourth switch 405 and a second resistor 202 are arranged on the detection line, the fourth switch 405 is located before the second resistor 202, when the powered device is in contact with the two conductive units, the fourth switch 405 is located between the first resistor 201 and the second resistor 202, a processing unit 400 is further arranged on the powered device, and the third switch 404 and the fourth switch 405 are controlled by the processing unit 400. When the power receiving equipment is in contact with the two conductive units, the detection circuit in the power receiving equipment is connected with the detection circuit in the power supply equipment, the power supply circuit in the power receiving equipment is connected with the power supply circuit in the power supply equipment, the power supply is accessed through the power supply circuit in the power supply equipment, the external power supply is converted through the adapter, and the output of the adapter can be connected to the power input end of the power supply circuit.
If the powered device is in contact with two conductive units, the processing unit 300 of the power supply device controls the first switch 401 to be in an open state and controls the second switch 402 to be in a closed state, so that the power supply line is in an open state and the processing unit 300 can connect the first resistor; and if the powered device is in contact with two conducting units, the processing unit 400 of the powered device controls the third switch 404 to be in a closed state and controls the fourth switch 405 to be in an open state, so that the power supply line is in an open state, and the first resistor 201 and the second resistor 202 are connected in series, and the processing unit 300 provides voltage to the first resistor 201 and the second resistor 202, so that current flows through the first resistor 201 and the second resistor 202, and the voltage provided by the processing unit 300 is connected through the first end of the first resistor 201.
Besides the third switch 404, a connection line is further led out from the second end of the first resistor 201 to connect the processing unit 300, and the processing unit 300 can acquire the voltage value of the second resistor 202 through the connection line. When the powered device is in contact with the two conductive units, the voltage value of the second resistor 202 collected by the processing unit 300 is not zero, and the type of the powered device can be determined by the voltage value of the second resistor 202. If the type of the powered device is determined by the voltage value of the second resistor 202, the powered device is an electronic device that can be powered.
If the powered device in contact with the two conductive units is an object other than the electronic device capable of being powered, the other object may consume the power supplied by the power supply device when the power supply device supplies power to the electronic device capable of being powered, and the other object may turn on the two conductive units but does not need the power supply device to supply power, such as a conductive metal sheet or water stain, the voltage value of the second resistor 202 collected by the processing unit 300 is zero, so as to determine that the other object in contact with the two conductive units is an object other than the electronic device capable of being powered, and prohibit the power supply device from supplying power.
The processing unit 300 determines that the two conductive units are in contact with the powered device and determines the charging parameters, controls the first switch 401 to be in a closed state and controls the second switch 402 to be in an open state, the power supply line on the power supply device side is turned on, and the adapter on the power supply line inputs a charging signal to the power supply line, where the charging signal may be in the form of a carrier. After the powered device receives the charging signal, the processing unit 400 of the powered device controls the third switch 404 to be in an open state and controls the fourth switch 405 to be in a closed state, so that the power supply line on the powered device side is in a conducting state, thereby forming a charging loop to charge the powered device. With the circuit diagram shown in fig. 4, the power supply device performs type detection of the powered device and power supply to the powered device in cooperation with the powered device.
In this embodiment, the processing unit 300 is further configured to control the detection unit 200 to switch from the available state to the disabled state after determining the charging parameter of the powered device. After the processing unit 300 determines the charging parameter of the powered device, the processing unit 300 controls the power supply device to supply power to the powered device based on the charging parameter of the powered device, the detection unit 200 may suspend detection, and then the processing unit 300 may control the detection unit 200 to switch from the usable state to the disabled state, so as to reduce the power consumption of the power supply device.
One way for the detection unit 200 to switch from the usable state to the disabled state may be to turn off the detection unit 200, and if the detection unit 200 adopts the structure in the circuit diagram shown in fig. 4, the way for the detection unit 200 to switch from the usable state to the disabled state is: the second switch is controlled to switch from the closed state to the open state, and since the second switch is in the open state, the processing unit 300 cannot supply power to the first resistor, and the processing unit 300 cannot obtain the voltage value of the second resistor, which means that the detecting unit 200 is in the disabled state.
Please refer to fig. 5, which shows an alternative structure of another power supply device provided in the embodiment of the present application, and may further include: a sensor 500 for detecting whether two conductive units 101 in the conductive unit array 100 are contacted by a powered device, and triggering the detection unit 200 to a usable state if the contacted by the powered device is detected.
Wherein the sensor 500 may be at least one of a light sensor and a distance sensor, if there is a blocking object in the collecting direction of the light sensor, the brightness collected by the light sensor changes to determine that there is an object contacting with two conductive units 101 in the conductive unit array 100, for example, it may be determined that the powered device contacts with two conductive units 101 in the conductive unit array 100.
Similarly, if there is an object in the collection direction of the distance sensor, the distance collected by the distance sensor changes, and if the distance changes from large to small and the distance is regarded as the object being placed on two conductive units 101 in the conductive unit array 100, it is determined that there is an object in contact with two conductive units 101 in the conductive unit array 100, and for example, it may be determined that the powered device is in contact with two conductive units 101 in the conductive unit array 100. In this embodiment, the distance sensor can analyze the shape of the object by distance, and if the distance sensor analyzes that the suspected electronic device, such as a laptop computer, a mobile phone, etc., of the object is in contact with two conductive units 101 in the conductive unit array 100, the detection unit 200 is triggered to be in a usable state.
The luminance that light sensor gathered can change when there is the object in light sensor's collection direction, no matter the object is electronic equipment or other objects (like electrically conductive sheetmetal or water stain etc.), consequently can not accurately judge through light sensor whether the object that contacts with electrically conductive unit is electronic equipment these equipment that need the power supply. The distance sensor can analyze whether an object in contact with the two conductive units 101 is suspected to be an electronic device, but the power consumption of the distance sensor is greater than that of the light sensor, which may cause the power consumption of the power supply device to increase if the distance sensor is continuously in an on state.
Based on the fact that the light sensor can be always in an on state, the distance sensor is in an off state by default; if the light sensor enables the collected brightness to change due to the fact that the light sensor shields the object, the distance sensor is indicated to be switched to the opening state, and the distance sensor conducts analysis; if the distance sensor analyzes that the suspected electronic device of an object is in contact with two conductive elements 101 in the conductive element array 100, the detection unit 200 is triggered to a usable state. If the light sensor determines that two conductive elements 101 in the array of conductive elements 100 are free of an object, it indicates that the distance sensor is switched to the off state.
