The power supply 100 refers to a device capable of outputting electrical energy, such as a mobile power source. The terminal device 300 is, for example, a portable electronic device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or a smart speaker. In the embodiment of the present invention, the power supply 100 and the terminal 300 can be applied to different fast charging technologies.

The fast charge line 200 includes a first interface 210, a signal processing circuit 230, a controller 240, and a second interface 220. The first interface 210 is used to connect the power supply 100 so that data can be normally transmitted between the power supply 100 and the fast charging line 200. The second interface 220 is used to connect the terminal device 300, so that data can be normally transmitted between the terminal device 300 and the fast charging line 200. It should be noted that the first interface 210 can also be connected to the power supply 100 through an interface conversion device (such as an adapter) or other types of devices.

Specifically, the first interface 210 and the second interface 220 can both be USB Type-C interfaces. Due to the fast charging technology, USB Fast charging technology such as PD technology needs to communicate using USB Type-C interface, while other fast charging technologies (such as QC2.0 technology) only need USB interface to communicate, and USB The Type-C interface can be compatible with a common USB interface. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first interface 210 and the second interface 220 are both USB. The Type-C interface enables the fast charging line 200 to be applied to more types of fast charging technologies.

The signal processing circuit 230 is connected between the first interface 210 and the second interface 220. Specifically, the input end of the signal processing circuit 230 is connected to the first interface 210, and the output end of the signal processing circuit 230 is connected to the second interface 220. Moreover, the signal processing circuit 230 is configured to process the charging signal from the first interface 210, and send the processed charging signal to the terminal device 300 through the second interface 220.

The process of processing the charging signal from the first interface 210 by the signal processing circuit 230 is, for example, converting the voltage or current of the charging signal from the first interface 210. In addition, the charging signal from the first interface 210 refers to a charging signal input by the power supply 100 to the first interface 210 or a charging signal input by the power supply 100 to the first interface 210 through the interface conversion device or other device. The charging signal refers to an electrical signal used to charge the terminal device 300.

The controller 240 is connected between the first interface 210 and the second interface 220 and connected to the signal processing circuit 230. In addition, the controller 240 is configured to identify the fast charging technologies applicable to the power supply 100 and the terminal device 300 respectively, and after identifying that both the power supply 100 and the terminal device 300 support the fast charging technology, the control signal processing circuit 230 is used to The charging signal of the interface 210 is processed such that the power supply 100 can charge the terminal device 300 through the signal processing circuit 230 using fast charging technology.

The fast charging technology refers to adjusting the input voltage and current value of the terminal device 300 through the chipset, thereby shortening the charging time. Fast charging technology such as VOOC flash charging technology, QC2.0 technology, USB PD technology, etc. It should be noted that the fast charging technology herein is not limited to a specific fast charging technology, and the purpose is to distinguish from the normal charging mode. The normal charging mode includes, for example, a charging process of trickle charging, constant current charging, and constant voltage charging for a lithium battery, and the charging voltage is usually 5V.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the controller 240 identifies the fast charging technology applicable to the power supply 100, the controller 240 may try to communicate with the protocol chip in the power supply 100 in the role of the terminal device 300 according to the identification mode of each fast charging technology. If the controller 240 successfully communicates with the power supply 100 according to some fast charging technology, the power supply 100 is considered to support the fast charging technology. For example: controller 240 can try to utilize USB PD technology communicates with power supply 100, if power supply 100 also supports USB In the PD technology, when the power supply 100 is connected to the fast charging line 200 through the first interface 210, the protocol chip in the power supply 100 passes through the USB. The CC signal of the Type-C interface communicates with the controller 240 and broadcasts power supply capability to the controller 240 (5V/3A, 9V/2.7A and 12V/2A), at which time the controller 240 can recognize that the power supply 100 is suitable for USB PD technology.

In addition, when the controller 240 recognizes the fast charging technology applied to the terminal device 300, it can also attempt to communicate with the terminal device 300 in the role of the power supply 100 in accordance with the identification mode of each fast charging technology. If the controller 240 successfully communicates with the terminal device 300 according to some fast charging technology, the terminal device 300 is considered to support the fast charging technology. For example, the controller 240 may attempt to communicate with the terminal device 300 by using the QC2.0 technology. If the terminal device 300 also supports the QC2.0 technology and assumes that the terminal device 300 is a mobile phone, then when the terminal device 300 passes through the second interface 220, After the fast charging line 200 is connected, Hvdcp (high voltage dedicated charger for Android user space) The process starts, and the voltage of 0.325V is loaded on D+ for more than 1.25s. If the controller 240 detects that the D+ voltage is maintained at 0.325V for more than 1.25s, it can be recognized that the terminal device 300 is suitable for QC2.0 technology. It can be understood that the controller 240 can also identify the fast charging protocol applicable to the power supply 100 and the terminal device 300 in other manners.

After the controller 240 identifies the fast charging technology applicable to the power supply 100 and the terminal device 300, the controller 240 can establish a fast charging channel with the power supply 100 and the terminal device 300 respectively, thereby ensuring power supply during the fast charging process. The communication between the power source 100 and the terminal device 300 can be normally performed under the relay of the controller 240. Moreover, even if the power supply 100 and the terminal device 300 respectively apply different fast charging technologies, since the controller 240 can also control the signal processing circuit 230 to process the charging signal from the first interface 210, for example, to convert voltage or current, Therefore, the charging signal from the first interface 210 can be converted into a charging signal suitable for the fast charging of the terminal device 300, thereby ensuring that the charging power output by the power supply 100 during the fast charging process finally reaches the terminal device 300 and can be applied to the terminal device. 300 fast charging technology. Therefore, under the relay control of the controller 240 and the signal processing circuit 230, the power supply 100 can be charged by the fast charging technology.

In summary, according to the fast charging line 200 provided by the embodiment of the present invention, as long as the power supply 100 and the terminal device 300 support the fast charging technology, even if the fast charging technologies used by the two are different, the controller 240 and the signal processing can be performed. The function of the circuit 230 enables the power supply 100 to charge the terminal device 300 by using a fast charging technology, thereby expanding the application range of the fast charging technology.

In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 2, the signal processing circuit 230 includes a first detecting unit 231 and a voltage-current converting unit 232 that are sequentially connected and respectively connected to the controller 240. Moreover, the first detecting unit 231 is also connected to the first interface 210.

The first detecting unit 231 is configured to detect a voltage or current of a charging signal from the first interface 210, and send the detected first voltage value and second current value to the controller 240. The voltage-current conversion unit 232 is configured to convert the voltage or current of the charging signal from the first interface 210 under the control of the controller 240. The first detecting unit 231 can be implemented by using a conventional voltage sampling circuit and a current sampling circuit. The voltage-current conversion unit 232 can be implemented using a conventional voltage conversion circuit and a current conversion circuit.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the controller 240 can control the voltage and current conversion unit 232 to charge from the first interface 210 based on the first voltage value and the first current value output by the power supply 100 detected by the first detecting unit 231. The voltage and current of the signal are converted to values suitable for the terminal device 300.

Further, referring to FIG. 2, the signal processing circuit 230 further includes a second detecting unit 233. The second detecting unit 233 is connected to the voltage/current converting unit 232, the controller 240, and the second interface 220, respectively.

The second detecting unit 233 is configured to detect the voltage and current of the output signal of the voltage-current converting unit 232, and send the detected second voltage value and the second current value to the controller 240. The second detecting unit 233 can be implemented by using a conventional voltage sampling circuit and a current sampling circuit.

Therefore, after the controller 240 controls the voltage-current conversion unit 232, the second voltage value and the second current value fed back by the second detecting unit 233 can be used to determine whether the voltage-current conversion unit 232 has performed an accurate conversion process, if When it is judged that the signal output from the voltage-current converting unit 232 has not reached the ideal value, the voltage-current converting unit 232 is again controlled until the voltage-current converting unit 232 outputs the ideal voltage and current.

In one embodiment, the controller 240 is specifically configured to trigger the power supply 100 to output the first fast charging technology after the power supply 100 is recognized and the terminal device 300 supports the first fast charging technology and the second fast charging technology respectively. Maximum power, and the control signal processing circuit 230 converts the charging signal from the first interface 210 into a charging signal suitable for the second fast charging technique, and utilizes the charging signal suitable for the second fast charging technique according to the second fast charging technique. The terminal device 300 is charged.

Among them, the first fast charging technology and the second fast charging technology refer to specific fast charging technology. Specific fast charging technology such as Quick Charge 1.0 technology, USB PD technology, QC2.0 technology, VOOC flash charging technology, Quick Charge 3.0 technology, MediaTek's Pump Express 3.0 technology or other technologies that enable fast charging. The first fast charging technology and the second fast charging technology can be the same specific fast charging technology as described above, for example, both are USB PD technology; or the first fast charging technology and the second fast charging technology can also be different specific fast charging technologies, for example, the first fast charging technology is USB PD technology, and the second fast charging technology is QC2.0 technology.

In the process that the controller 240 triggers the power supply 100 to output the maximum power allowed by the first fast charging technology, if the first fast charging technology is USB PD technology, the maximum power allowed by the first fast charging technology is 9V/2.7A corresponding power, then the power supply 100 output 9V/2.7A. In addition, the manner triggered by the controller 240 can also be implemented according to the role of the terminal device 300 and according to the first fast charging technology, for example, if the first fast charging technology is USB. In the PD technology, the controller 240 can send a power supply request to the power supply 100 and select 9V, after which the power supply 100 can output 9V/2.7A; If the first fast charging technology is QC2.0 technology, the controller 240 can trigger the power supply 100 to output the maximum power that the first fast charging technology can allow by setting the voltages on D+ and D-.

The signal processing circuit 230 converts the charging signal from the first interface 210 into a charging signal suitable for the second fast charging technique. In other words, under the processing of the signal processing circuit 230, the voltage of the charging signal from the first interface 210 can be Both the current and the current are converted to input voltage and input current that the second fast charge technology can accept.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, as long as the maximum power supported by the second fast charging technology is less than or equal to the maximum power supported by the first fast charging technology, the power supply can be powered by the combination of the controller 240 and the signal processing circuit 230. The output power of the power source 100 is converted to any power applicable to the second fast charging technology, thereby enabling the terminal device 300 to perform fast charging with the maximum power allowed by the second fast charging technology supported by itself to improve the charging efficiency. In addition, even if the maximum power supported by the second fast charging technology is greater than the maximum power supported by the first fast charging technology, the maximum power pair allowed by the first fast charging technology can still be utilized under the joint action of the controller 240 and the signal processing circuit 230. The terminal device 300 performs fast charging.

In one embodiment, the controller 240 is further configured to control the power supply 100 to charge the terminal device 300 by using a normal charging mode after identifying that one of the power supply 100 and the terminal device 300 does not support the fast charging technology. Among them, the charging power of the normal charging mode is smaller than the charging power of the fast charging technology.

The normal charging mode, for example, for a lithium battery, includes a charging process of trickle charging, constant current charging, constant voltage charging, and the charging voltage is usually 5V. The charging power refers to the power output from the power supply 100 at the time of charging.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, if the controller 240 detects that the power supply 100 and the terminal device 300 support different or the same fast charging technology, the method of converting the voltage value or current value of the charging signal from the first interface 210 is adopted. The power supply 100 can be used to charge the terminal device 200 by using the fast charging technology; if the controller 240 detects that one of the power supply 100 and the terminal device 300 does not support the fast charging technology, then the power supply 100 is controlled to utilize the normal charging mode. The terminal device 300 is charged. Therefore, the fast charging line 200 provided by the embodiment of the present invention is applicable to the power supply 100 and the terminal device 300 which are supported by the fast charging technology, the power supply 100 and the terminal device 300, the power supply 100 and the terminal which are supported by the fast charging technology. One of the devices 300 does not support these conditions of fast charging technology, and thus has a wide range of applications.

In one of the embodiments, the controller 240 is further configured to control the power supply 100 to charge the terminal device 300 using the normal charging mode before identifying the fast charging technology applicable to the power supply 100 and the terminal device 300. Among them, the charging power of the normal charging mode is smaller than the charging power of the fast charging technology.

Specifically, the controller 240 is specifically configured to determine, when the power supply 100 and the fast charging technology applied to the terminal device 300 are recognized, that the voltage or current of the charging signal from the first interface 210 is higher than the value allowed by the normal charging mode. The corresponding control signal processing circuit 230 lowers the voltage or current of the charging signal from the first interface 210, and charges the terminal device 300 with the reduced charging signal.

The controller 240 can determine whether the charging signal from the first interface 210 is suitable for charging the terminal device 300 by using the normal charging mode by using the first voltage value and the first current value fed back by the first detecting unit 232. If not, Then, the control signal processing circuit 230 performs a corresponding conversion process on the charging signal from the first interface 210. For example, if the voltage of the charging signal from the first interface 210 is greater than 5V, the controller 240 controls the voltage-current conversion unit 232 to lower the voltage to 5V.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, after the fast charging line 200 is respectively connected to the power supply 100 and the terminal device 300, the power supply 100 first charges the terminal device 300 by using the normal charging mode, thereby ensuring security. After the controller 240 recognizes the fast charging technology applied to the power supply 100 and the terminal device 300, the control of the signal processing circuit 230 is combined to enable the power supply 100 to charge the terminal device 300 by using a fast charging technology. Improve charging efficiency on the premise of ensuring safety.
