  • Patent number: 10186865
    Abstract: An intelligent charging device has a control unit and multiple power strips respectively connected to and simultaneously charging multiple sets of digital devices. Each power strip has a relay connected to the control unit. When acquiring load signals of the power strips and a maximum load threshold, the control unit performs a charging schedule configuration to generate a charging demand sequence, and then calculates a charging time for each charging schedule of a charging cycle according to the charging demand sequence and the load signals of the multiple power strips for charging time allocation and instructs each power strip to charge for a corresponding charging time in a corresponding charging schedule, thereby allowing the power strip with the maximum charging demand to charge first and achieving the goal of efficiency charging.

  • Publication number: 20180342882
    Abstract: A short-circuit current protecting method of a charging control system is cooperating with at least a control unit and a plurality of power outlet electrically connected to an electronic switch. The control unit controls the mode of the electronic switches with turn on or off. The short-circuit current protecting method includes the following steps. Step 1 is detecting at least a current signal value of an AC power. Step 2 is determining whether the current signal value is grater than a predetermine current threshold. Step 3 is enabling a short-circuit current analyzing module if the current signal value is grater than the predetermine current threshold. Step 4 is turning off at least one of the electronic switches if the short-circuit current is determined by the short-circuit current analyzing module.

  • Patent number: 10056768
    Abstract: A charging cabinet and a control method thereof are disclosed. The charging cabinet includes a controller, a power supply, switches, a charging detector, a status detector, and sockets electrically connected to devices. The switches are selectively tuned on to connect a current path between one of the sockets and the power supply. When a current value of the current path is smaller than a preset current value, the charging detector products a first detection signal. The status detector produces a second detection signal after counting up to more than a preset time period, during which the charging cabinet stays at a suspension status. The controller turns on at least part of the switches after counting up to more than an idle time period, during which the switches in the charging cabinet at the suspension status are tuned off according to the first and second detection signals.

  • Publication number: 20180226830
    Abstract: An intelligent charging system comprises a first switching element, a phase detecting device, a current detecting device and a controller. The first switching element is turned on or off based on a first control signal. The phase detecting device is configured to determine an allowable phase time interval of a phase of a power source. The current detecting device is connected to the first switching element. The current detecting device is configured to detect a first turned on time point when the first switching element is turned on. The controller is connected to the phase detecting device and the current detecting device. The controller is configured to determine whether the first turned on time point is within the allowable phase time interval. If the first turned on time point is not within the allowable phase time interval, the controller resets a first control parameter of the first control signal.
