Based on above-mentioned intelligent power box, its control logic is specifically as follows:

and S11, logging in the cloud service platform by the mobile terminal.

Specifically, the cloud service platform may actually be an application program for managing the intelligent power supply box, and a user may register with the cloud service platform through the mobile terminal to obtain user account information and recharge to a corresponding account; after the registration is finished, if the user needs to use the intelligent power box, the registered account can be logged in through an application program on the mobile terminal.

And S12, establishing connection with the intelligent power box.

Specifically, after the mobile terminal logs in the registered account on the application program, the two-dimensional code on the intelligent power box can be scanned through a scanning function on the application program, so as to obtain the device information of the intelligent power box, such as the serial number of the intelligent power box, the serial numbers of all sockets in the intelligent power box, and the like. Of course, the user can also manually input the serial number of the intelligent power box in the application program to establish the connection between the terminal and the intelligent power box. The two-dimensional code can be pasted on the surface of the intelligent power box and is printed with the serial number of the intelligent power box.

And S13, determining the charging socket, determining the charging information and storing the charging information.

Specifically, after the user establishes the connection between the terminal and the intelligent power box, the simple structure of the intelligent power box, such as the power supply branch information of the intelligent power box, such as the first power supply branch, the second power supply branch, the third power supply branch, and the like, can be displayed on the application program. The user can confirm the socket for charging by clicking the power supply branch corresponding to the simple structure, such as a socket under the first power supply branch. At this time, the user may connect the plug of the mobile electric device to the socket to charge the mobile electric device using the corresponding power supply branch.

In some possible implementation modes, each power supply branch on the intelligent power supply box can be provided with an intelligent lock, and the intelligent lock can lock the corresponding power supply branch in the intelligent power supply box. When the intelligent power supply box does not charge the mobile electric equipment, the intelligent lock is locked; when the intelligent power supply box charges for the mobile electric equipment through the power supply branch circuit, the user can send an unlocking instruction to the communication unit through the application program, so that the control unit can unlock the intelligent lock according to the unlocking instruction received by the communication unit, and the user can insert the plug of the mobile electric equipment into the socket of the corresponding power supply branch circuit.

The charging indication may include a serial number of the outlet on the power branch.

In a possible implementation manner, when the mobile terminal sends the unlocking instruction to the communication unit, the unlocking instruction may carry information such as a user name and an account balance. Of course, the information such as the user name and the account balance may be carried in the charging instruction.

When the control unit instructs the corresponding power supply branch to charge the mobile electric device, the initial power value W0 of the metering module and the charging start time can be obtained. After the charging is completed, the control unit may acquire the end electric value W1 of the metering module, and the charging end time. At this time, it may be determined that the used amount of the mobile electric device is W1-W0, and when the sub-charging amount (W1-W0) is D + F, D is the electricity unit price, and F is the service fee.

It should be noted that, when the mobile electric device is charged, a plurality of charging modes may be set, such as time-setting charging, charging with a set charging amount, and power-supply interruption charging.

The charging at the set time can be realized by that when the mobile terminal sends a charging instruction to the communication unit, the charging instruction carries charging time information, and when the charging time reaches the preset charging time, the intelligent power box stops supplying power, namely, the corresponding turn-off device is turned off; the set charging amount indication can be that the charging indication carries charging amount information, and when the charging electric quantity reaches the preset charging amount, the intelligent power box stops supplying power; the charging of the power supply terminal means that the intelligent power supply box stops supplying power when the control unit detects that the circuit of the power supply branch is too low (charging is completed), or the charging voltage is too high and too low, the temperature of the socket exceeds a threshold value and the like.

Based on the above charging mode, after the charging is completed, the control unit may further determine the reason for stopping power supply, that is, the charging reaches a preset time, the charging reaches a preset charging amount, the charging is completed, or a charging failure (e.g., the charging voltage is too high, too low, the socket temperature exceeds a threshold value), and the like.

The control unit may store the parameters such as the used amount of electricity, the amount of money when charging, the reason for stopping power supply, and the like in the storage unit, and when the storage unit stores the parameters, the control unit establishes a mapping relationship with the user name. Of course, the control unit may also upload the parameters to the cloud service platform through the communication unit.

In some embodiments, when the intelligent power box fails and stops supplying power, the control unit may detect the on state of the turn-off switch and the temperature of the socket, and if the detection is normal, the control unit may supply power to the mobile power device again. If faults occur continuously for multiple times, the intelligent charging box can send an alarm to the mobile terminal and indicate the user to use other power supply branches for charging.

In some embodiments, because the intelligent lock is arranged on the power supply branch, after the charging is completed and the plug of the mobile electric device is withdrawn, the user can indicate the intelligent lock to be locked through the mobile terminal, so that the safe operation of the intelligent power supply box is ensured.

In the embodiment of the utility model, the communication connection between the mobile terminal and the cloud service platform and between the mobile terminal and the intelligent power box can be established, the accurate measurement of the power consumption is realized through the measurement module and the control module, and the use experience of a user is improved.
