第一控制器76係電子控制器,其較佳為包括至少一個處理器76A和記憶體76B(即至少一個電腦儲存裝置)的微電腦或中央處理單元(Central processing unit,CPU)。電子控制器12係由該電路板CB1上所安裝的一個或多個半導體晶片形成。如文中所使用的該用語「電子控制器」(electronic controller)指稱執行軟體程式的硬體,並不包括一人員。處理器76A係配置成控制記憶體76B以將資料儲存在記憶體76B之該等儲存區域中,並從記憶體76B之該等儲存區域讀取資料。該第一電動輸入開關SW1和該第二電動輸入開關SW2係經由該電路板CB1之各導電路徑和/或系統匯流排電連接到處理器76A和記憶體76B。記憶體76B(如該ROM)儲存程式。該程式係讀取到處理器76A中,且由此進行第一控制器76之該配置和/或演算法。The first controller 76 is an electronic controller, which is preferably a microcomputer or a central processing unit (CPU) including at least one
記憶體76B係任何電腦儲存裝置或任何非暫時性電腦可讀取媒體,除了暫時性傳播信號之該唯一例外。舉例來說,記憶體76B可包括非揮發性記憶體和揮發性記憶體,並可包括一內部記憶體,或其他類型之記憶體裝置,例如一唯讀記憶體(Read Only Memory,ROM)裝置、一隨機存取記憶體(Random Access Memory,RAM)裝置、一硬碟、一隨身碟(flash drive)等。
第二控制器78係電子控制器,其較佳為包括至少一個處理器78A和記憶體78B(即至少一個電腦儲存裝置)的微電腦或中央處理單元(CPU)。電子控制器12係由該電路板CB1上所安裝的一個或多個半導體晶片形成。處理器78A係配置成控制記憶體78B以將資料儲存在記憶體78B之該等儲存區域中,並從記憶體78B之該等儲存區域讀取資料。該第一電動輸入開關SW1和該第二電動輸入開關SW2係經由該電路板CB1之各導電路徑和/或系統匯流排電連接到處理器78A和記憶體78B。記憶體78B(如該ROM)儲存程式。該程式係讀取到處理器78A中,且由此進行第二控制器78之該配置和/或演算法。The
記憶體78B係任何電腦儲存裝置或任何非暫時性電腦可讀取媒體,除了暫時性傳播信號之該唯一例外。舉例來說,記憶體78B可包括非揮發性記憶體和揮發性記憶體,並可包括一內部記憶體,或其他類型之記憶體裝置,例如一唯讀記憶體(ROM)裝置、一隨機存取記憶體(RAM)裝置、一硬碟、一隨身碟等。
如圖9中所看到,電源供應40之該電壓係受到電源供應40之該溫度影響。舉例來說,當電源供應40係在50°之溫度下完全充電時,電源供應40之該電壓約為6.4伏特。然而,當電源供應40係在−10°之溫度下完全充電時,電源供應40之該電壓下降至約5.7伏特。電源供應40之該電壓之該變化隨著該放電位準提高(即該剩餘電量降低)而變得較大。因此,如圖10中所看到,第二控制器78係配置成施加校正,以針對溫度方面的變更校正電源供應40之該電壓。該經校正電壓對應於由於該溫度變化而可從電源供應40用於操作電動零件38的該電壓。以此方式,電源供應40之該電壓之該波動係針對溫度方面的變更而減小。圖10之該曲線圖係可預儲存在第二控制器78之記憶體78B中。然而,該校正係不限於得到經校正電壓值。舉例來說,電源供應40之該所檢測電值(Electrical Value,EV)係可使用預儲存溫度校正資料由第二控制器78所修訂,使得校正係施加到電源供應40之該所檢測電值EV。以此方式,該預定狀態係用於判定使用該第一資訊進行該值轉換的該時間點。As seen in FIG. 9 , the voltage of
圖11顯示為了估計電源供應40之實際放電位準而將不同溫度下的電源供應40之該電壓相關聯的表格。圖11之該表格係可預儲存在第二控制器78之記憶體78B中。嚴格來說,在該所例示具體實施例中,藉由第二控制器78的該校正並未校正該電壓值。而是,舉例來說,如圖11之該表格中所示,該實際電源供應位準係可基於該所檢測溫度和該所檢測電壓判定。藉由第二控制器78的這項功能係也稱為校正。因此,如圖10和圖11中所示,第二控制器78包括記憶體78B,其具有將該經校正電源供應40狀態與複數溫度和複數電源供應狀態之一關係相關聯的校正資料。FIG. 11 shows a table correlating the voltage of the
在該所例示具體實施例中,該第一資訊係關於電源供應40之所檢測電壓。電源供應40之該電壓基於至少一個電源供應40之該電負載變化。因此,電源供應40之該電壓係可藉由檢測電源供應40之電負載而判定。在此,電源供應監控裝置32更包含一第一檢測器81。第一檢測器81之該位置係不限於該所例示位置。而是,第一檢測器81係可位於可檢測到電值的任何地方,以判定電源供應40之該目前狀態。換言之,第一檢測器81係可設置或布置在與該所例示位置不同的位置處,只要第一檢測器81可檢測電源供應40之該目前狀態即可。此外,第一檢測器81係可用於檢測電源供應40之該電值EV,以供判定該預定狀態是否為了使用該第一資訊進行該值轉換而存在。第一檢測器81係配置成檢測與電源供應40之電負載相關的該第一資訊。因此,第一檢測器81係檢測電源供應40之該電負載的電負載檢測器。因此,第一檢測器81係配置成檢測電源供應40之電壓作為該第一資訊。當然,從此揭示內容係將顯而易見,第一檢測器81係不限於該所例示具體實施例。In the illustrated embodiment, the first information relates to the detected voltage of the
在該所例示具體實施例中,該第二資訊係關於電源供應40之溫度。電源供應監控裝置32更包含一第二檢測器82。第二檢測器82係配置成檢測與電源供應40之溫度相關的該第二資訊。在此,第二檢測器82包括一熱敏電阻。第二檢測器82之該位置係不限於該所例示位置。而是,第二檢測器82係可位於可檢測到電源供應40之該溫度的任何地方。換言之,第二檢測器82係可設置或布置在與該所例示位置不同的其他位置。In the illustrated embodiment, the second information relates to the temperature of the
第二控制器78係配置成基於該第一資訊和該第二資訊估計經校正電源供應狀態。換言之,第二控制器78係配置成基於所檢測電壓或負載(該第一資訊)和所檢測溫度(該第二資訊)估計經校正電源供應狀態。以此方式,經校正電壓(經校正電源供應狀態)係可用於更準確估計該放電位準(即該剩餘電量或電壓)。較佳為,第二控制器78係配置成啟用第二檢測器82,以回應預定狀況。該預定狀況包括一預定時間間隔、控制器36之一重置操作、第一控制器76、或第二控制器78、和一使用者輸入操作中至少一者。換言之,每次該預定狀況發生時,第二控制器78皆更新該第二資訊。或者,舉例來說,當該第二資訊為了估計該經校正電源供應狀態或一些其他用途而為所需時,可僅檢測和調整該第二資訊。The
此外,第一控制器76係配置成控制第一檢測器81,以在預定狀態檢測該第一資訊。該預定狀態包括一狀態,其中由電源供應40所供應的該電值EV係小於一預定值。換言之,當電源供應40之該電負載係小於預定負載值時,第一控制器76控制第一檢測器81檢測電源供應40之該電負載作為該第一資訊。由於電源供應40之該電壓係可從該電負載判定,因此第一控制器76控制第一檢測器81檢測電源供應40之該電負載,且第一控制器76判定電源供應40之該電壓作為該第一資訊。In addition, the first controller 76 is configured to control the
第一檢測器81生成該電負載之類比值,其需要轉換成可由第一控制器76所使用的數位值。因此,第一控制器76係配置成使用該第一資訊進行值轉換,以便在該預定狀態將該第一資訊傳輸到不同電元件。亦即,在此,該值轉換包括一類比至數位轉換。換言之,在該所例示具體實施例中,第一控制器76進行基於該所檢測電負載判定的該電壓從類比值至數位值之值轉換。較佳為,第一控制器76係配置成進行該值轉換,以回應接收電動零件38之控制輸入。舉例來說,當無線通訊器42(電動零件38)經由控制器36(第一控制器76和/或第二控制器78)接收來自該第一電動輸入開關SW1或該第二電動輸入開關SW2的控制輸入時。The
此值轉換程序會消耗大量功率。因此,第一控制器76係配置成中止與該第一資訊的變更相關的活動中至少一者,以便進行該值轉換。活動中該至少一者包括處理提高電源供應40之電負載的活動。在該類比至數位轉換期間,該第一控制器和/或該第二控制器之該處理活動之此中止係顯示在圖12中。因此,在此中止期間,電源供應40之該放電位準或剩餘電量位準之該通知並未變更。一旦該類比至數位轉換程序已結束,正常處理活動係將恢復。換言之,控制器36(第一控制器76和/或第二控制器78)將恢復更新電源供應40之該放電位準或剩餘電量位準。This value conversion routine consumes a lot of power. Accordingly, the first controller 76 is configured to suspend at least one of the activities related to the change of the first information in order to perform the value conversion. The at least one of the activities includes the activity of dealing with increasing the electrical load of the
在該以上說明內容中,電源供應監控裝置32包含一個或兩個控制器(控制器36或第一控制器76和第二控制器78)、第一檢測器81、和第二檢測器82。然而,電源供應監控裝置32可僅配置控制器36和第二檢測器82。換言之,在此配置中,電源供應監控裝置32包含檢測器82和一控制器36。檢測器82係配置成檢測與電源供應40之溫度相關的資訊。控制器36係配置成基於該資訊估計經校正電源供應狀態。因此,控制器36基於電源供應40之該溫度估計經校正電源供應狀態。In the above description, the power

As another example, the phrase "at least one of" as used in this disclosure means "only a single Choice" (only one single choice) or "any combination of equal to or more than two choices" (any combination of equal to or more than two choices). Furthermore, the term "and/or" as used in this disclosure means "either one or both of".

These terms are only used to distinguish one part from another. Thus, for example, a first element discussed above could be termed a second element and vice versa without departing from these teachings of the invention.
