Description

一种充电系统及充电方法 技术领域
本发明涉及一种智能充电技术,具体地说,是一种充电系统及充电方法。
背景技术
当前,以手机、平板电脑、智能手表、运动手环、便携式计算机、电动车辆、电动船舶、数码相机、数码摄像机、无人机、其它电动飞行器等为代表的大量携带电池的终端设备,迅速普及在消费者生活中的各个领域,呈现快速增长的趋势。因此充电成为消费者日常必需进行的操作和应用,同时在充电这一使用场景下,也出现了各种各样的问题和困难。比如,如何解决快速充电和终端设备过热的矛盾,如何在长期接通充电器时不浪费能源;又比如,很多充电设备和数据传输共用物理连接,例如USB充电线,在充电的同时,还要确保数据传输的可靠性;甚至在某些极端情况下,还出现过用户在充电时接听手机,导致触电身亡的悲剧。
另外,随着无线充电和无线数据传输技术在近些年的高速发展,消费者在看似简单的充电环节,不断衍生出更加复杂的使用场景,这也对充电接口不断提出更多变的要求。
充电作为一个已经发展过多年的技术,在这个终端设备迅速增长、特别是智能终端设备和移动互联网设备高速发展的大背景下,传统的充电器+充电接口芯片+电池的充电系统设计,已经不能满足不同场景、不同用户使用习惯的要求。这就需要更加智能的充电方式和高度个性化的充电逻辑,来满足用户的需求。
USB Implementers Forum(一个致力于推广并发展USB技术性的非营利性组织),Inc.在2010年12月发布了电池充电规范,即Battery Charging Specification1.2,简称BC1.2规范。在BC1.2规范中,特别结合USB接口在充电的同时进行数据传输的要求,界定了USB接口在有数据传输时和没有数据传输时的场景下,对设备进行充电的规范。
BC1.2规范基于传统的充电体系设计,即通过物理层(PHY,Physical Layer Interface for High-Speed USB)检测充电接口的电路连接的基础上,提供了对充电同时进行USB数据传输场景下的充电方案的完善,可以使得以往只能支持的 USB数据传输时,500mA的充电电流,升高到系统设计的1500mA充电电流。
但是,BC 1.2规范有如下的缺点:
1)仅适用于USB接口的充电和数据传输场景,没有考虑到其他的充电和数据传输接口,比如无线充电的场景;
2)仅通过物理层对USB的管脚进行监测,判断适合的充电模式,对于用于终端设备上的切实的应用场景,无法进行判断,继而也无法避免导致提供电流、电压过小,无法满足用户终端的实时电量消耗,或提供电流、电压过大,导致终端设备过热出现系统异常等情况的发生。
高通快速充电,即Quick Charge,是高通公司在2013年作为其Snapdragon芯片组的功能之一发布的充电规范。Quick Charge是高通公司私有的技术,目标是将对移动终端基于USB接口的充电效率提高40%-75%。目前该规范的最新版本为2.0,同时高通公司也提供了符合该规范的测试和认证流程。
在高通快速充电规范中,根据高通提供的产品,即用于移动终端的芯片和芯片组,界定了基于USB接口的充电规范,其核心是界定了不同的电压和电流组合,来实现对移动终端内置锂电池的快速充电。目前其适用范围是高通的Snapdragon 400/600/800系列芯片和芯片组产品。
然而,高通快速充电方案也有如下的缺点:
1)仅适用于USB接口的充电和数据传输场景,没有考虑到其它的充电和数据传输接口,比如无线充电的场景;
2)仅适用于高通自身的移动终端芯片和芯片组,也就是只适用于使用高通芯片和芯片组的移动终端产品,不具备普遍的适用性;
3)仅提供快速充电能力,对于用于终端设备上的切实的应用场景,无法进行判断,继而也无法避免提供电流、电压过大,导致终端设备过热出现系统异常等情况的发生。
综上所述,现有的充电器和用户终端设备之间,只能通过传统的充电电路本身进行基本的充电操作,而无法根据消费者在终端设备上实时的或习惯性的使用场景,进行合理判断和分析,继而由充电器进行配合,提供合理的充电电流和电压等电气特性,以实现安全、绿色环保并且方便消费者使用的智能充电。

比如在用户使用手机作为终端设备,电池电量比较充足时,当用户进行拨打电话的操作,在终端设备中终端使用情况采集模块121将用户的使用情况上报给终端充电逻辑模块122,在完成逻辑处理和分析后,即可通知智能充电器,实现自动断电或绢流充电,防止出现电池过热或为手机带来其他安全隐患;待用户结束通话后再恢复到之前的充电状态。本发明在用户不感知的情况下实现智能的充电操作,在人机界面上也可以提供用于用户干预智能充电逻辑的开关,来帮助用户根据自己使用的场景和习惯,形成个性化的充电计划或充电规则。
此外,智能充电装置核心层120,可以是运行在终端设备系统中的软件,也可以采用专用硬件或者芯片的形式,连接到终端设备的系统中。
终端通信模块130,可以直接使用终端设备和智能充电器已经具备的物理连接能力,也通过增加其他通信设备来实现,包括有线连接或无线连接,其中无线连接包括但不限于蜂窝移动网络、Wifi、蓝牙或NFC通信,有线连接包括但不限于PoE、同轴电缆、光纤、USB数据连接。
微处理器210也可以是集成度更低的中央处理器,或集成度更高的微处理单元。
存储器211除了可以由FLASH内存来完成外,也可以用其它具备不挥发特性,即没有电流供应的情况下也能够长久保持数据的元器件来替代,如软盘、硬盘、可读写光盘、磁带、可移动存储器等。
充电器通信模块214,可以直接使用终端设备和智能充电器已经具备的物理连接能力,也通过增加其他的模拟或数字通信设备来实现,包括但不限于蜂窝移动网络、Wifi、PoE、同轴电缆、光纤、USB数据连接、蓝牙、NFC、卫星通信、FM载波等等。
操作系统215可以是智能卡操作系统、实时操作系统、传感器节点操作系统、嵌入式操作系统、个人计算机操作系统、多处理器操作系统、网络操作系统和大型机操作系统等。

网络服务器300,即可以与终端设备进行连接,也可以于智能充电器通过网络进行连接和提供服务,也可以同时连接和支持终端设备与智能充电器。
本发明将传统的电气设备充电器改造为具有处理能力的计算机系统,可以根据计算机系统的消息、命令和信号,控制电气系统的输出。在终端设备上,对终端设备的使用情况进行监控、对不同的使用场景进行分析,制定出个性化的智能充电规则。在终端设备和智能充电器之间建立通信机制,将终端设备上采集的信息和制定的充电规则反馈给智能充电器。
本发明的智能充电装置可以以硬件形式集成于终端设备内,也可以作为虚拟装置以软件形式集成于终端设备内。本发明所说的终端设备包括但不限于手机、平板电脑、智能手表、运动手环、便携式计算机、电动车辆(电动汽车、电动自行车等)、电动船舶、数码相机、数码摄像机、无人机、其它电动飞行器等。本发明的智能充电方法可以单独为一台终端设备充电,也可以同时为多台终端设备充电。
