Description

Billing socket structure and power supply method thereof

The invention relates to a power supply device, in particular to a charging socket structure and a power supply method thereof.

For mobile devices such as smart phones or tablets, the degree of use is quite common. When the door is out, in order to maintain the long-term use of the mobile devices, it is necessary to perform charging when the power of the mobile device is insufficient.

The charging method of the foregoing mobile device is generally carried out by the user carrying the mobile power source and the transmission line. When the mobile device has insufficient power, the mobile power source can be taken out and the transmission line is connected between the mobile power source and the mobile device. The mobile device is charged by the power stored by the mobile power source itself. Generally, the degree of charging of the mobile power source is based on the capacity of the mobile power source itself. When the capacity of the mobile power source is low, the number of times the mobile device can be charged is small; in other words, when the capacity of the mobile power source is high, The number of times the mobile device is charged is relatively large, and the mobile device can be maintained for a longer period of time.

However, the user of the mobile device may forget to carry the mobile power when going out, or feel that carrying the mobile power will take up space and increase the weight without carrying. In this case, if there is insufficient power of the mobile device, A power saving mode is adopted to reduce power consumption, thereby extending the time for the mobile device to be used outside.

In order to solve the problem that the mobile device does not carry the mobile power and the power is insufficient, there is a device in the market that develops a so-called "mobile charging station", that is, the device that the mobile phone can charge the mobile device at the fixed point. When the user's mobile device needs to be charged due to insufficient power, the mobile device can be connected to the mobile device to charge the mobile device. The foregoing mobile charging station can be divided into unpaid charging or paid charging, and the charging charging mode, for example, charging service attached in the coffee shop, can be used without paying at this time; the paid charging mode is usually The charging service provided by the industry for profit-making can be used at a charge.

In the foregoing charging mode of paid charging, the socket that can provide charging of the mobile device itself is connected to the mains and can be powered, and the mobile device is allowed to be charged by the administrator of the socket, after a certain approval procedure. The charging action can be performed by the user inserting the plug connected to the mobile device to the socket, and the charging time is calculated by the manager to facilitate charging. It can be imagined that without the configuration of the manager, it is impossible to calculate the charging time and charge.

Therefore, how to charge the charging time of the mobile device under the unmanned management is the focus of the present invention.
