Finally, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2. FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing the steps of the method for controlling power supply of the present invention. The steps shown in FIG. 2 will be described below with reference to FIG. It should be noted that the following describes the method for controlling the power supply disclosed in the present invention by taking the electronic device charging stand 1 as an example, but the method is not limited to the electronic device charging stand 1 described above.

First, step S1 is performed: determining whether the external power source cannot charge the electronic device.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in an embodiment of the present invention, the control system 40 of the electronic device charging stand 1 of the present invention monitors the power supply status of the external power source 80 at any time. Once the external power source 80 is unable to supply power normally (for example, power failure), or when the external power source 80 is not electrically connected to the electronic device charging stand 1, in order to enable the power supply to be uninterrupted, the control system 40 controls the electronic device 30 by the battery 30. The device 90 is charged, that is, step S4 is performed.

Then proceed to step S2: determine whether it is within a preset time.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the memory module 421 of the control unit 42 records a time parameter, which can be input by the user or preset in advance, and the time parameter can include a start time and an end time. In the embodiment of the present creation, the start time is set to 8:00 in the morning, and the end time is set to 10:00 in the evening, but the present creation is not limited thereto. When the memory module 421 records the time parameter, the control system 40 can control the external power source 80 or the battery 30 to charge the electronic device 90 according to the time parameter. Therefore, in the case of ensuring that the external power source 80 can be normally powered, the control unit 42 determines the time parameter before deciding to control the power supply from the external power source 80 or the battery 30. Whether the set start time and end time come, that is, whether the current time is within the preset time.

Step S3 is performed to detect whether the battery power reaches a preset value.

In an embodiment of the present invention, during a preset time, the control system 40 determines whether the current battery 30 is in a state suitable for providing charging, if the battery 30 does not reach a preset value (eg, only remaining) When 10% of the saturated power is used, it is not suitable for the electronic device 90 to be charged by the battery 30. Therefore, the external power source 80 is controlled to charge the electronic device 90, that is, step S5 is performed; otherwise, if the battery 30 reaches the preset value, Step S4 is performed.

Go to step S4: control the battery to charge the electronic device.

In an embodiment of the present invention, if the power of the battery 30 reaches a preset value within a preset time set by the time parameter (ie, 8:00 am to 10:00 pm), since the time is a power peak period, Therefore, the control system 40 can be set to control the external power source 80 to stop charging the electronic device 90 and the battery 30 during this period of time, and control the charging of the electronic device 90 by the battery 30 to save electricity costs. Further, as described above, if the external power source 80 cannot properly charge the electronic device 90, the battery 30 is controlled to charge the electronic device 90 regardless of the preset time.

Step S5 is performed to control the external power source to charge the electronic device.

As mentioned above, if the battery 30 does not reach the preset value, it is not suitable for the battery 30 to supply power. Therefore, even if the battery 30 has not reached the preset value within a preset time, the control system 40 remains The electronic device 90 is controlled to be charged by the external power source 80.

Step S6 is performed to detect whether the battery power reaches a saturation value.

When it is not within the preset time, and the external power source 80 can normally charge the electronic device 90, the control system 40 further detects whether the battery 30 has reached a saturation level (ie, whether it is fully charged); When the amount of power reaches the saturation level, the external power source 80 is controlled to charge the electronic device 90 alone, that is, the foregoing step S5 is performed. On the other hand, if the battery 30 is not fully charged, the external power source 80 is controlled to simultaneously charge the electronic device 90 and the battery 30, that is, step S7 is performed.

It should be noted that the method of controlling the power supply disclosed in the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned sequence of steps, and the order of the above steps may be changed as long as the purpose of the creation is achieved.

It can be seen from the above description that the electronic device charging stand 1 and the method for controlling the power supply of the present invention can provide different power supply modes (ie, the mains power supply mode and the battery power supply mode) according to different time periods, thereby achieving the purpose of saving electricity charges and borrowing. It is provided by a plurality of jacks 11 on the charging stand, and a plurality of electronic devices 90 can be simultaneously provided for charging at the same time. In the event of an emergency, the electronic device that provides the best electric quantity by the prompting component can be used for emergency evacuation or rescue. Use to effectively solve the problems of the prior art.

In summary, this creation, regardless of its purpose, means and efficacy, is showing its characteristics that are different from the well-known techniques. You are kindly asked to review the examination and express the patent as soon as possible. It should be noted that the various embodiments described above are merely illustrative for ease of explanation, and the scope of the claims is intended to be limited by the scope of the claims.
