Series-Type Charging Device and Charging Method Thereof
First Claim
1. A series-type charging device, comprising:
- an input-terminal, used to receive an input power;
an output-terminal, coupled to the input-terminal, and coupled to another series-type charging device to supply a next-level power;
a control unit, coupled between the input-terminal and the output-terminal, and provided for obtaining an output power from a shunt of the input power, and generating a charging power according to the output power to charge a battery; and
a detector unit, with an end coupled between the input-terminal and the output-terminal, and the other end coupled to the control unit to measure a supply power of the input power;
wherein when the output-terminal is coupled to another series-type charging device, the output power is reduced, and the input power is converted completely into the next-level power to charge the battery of another series-type charging device in a first priority, and when the supply power of the series-type charging device has not reached an upper limit value, the remaining input power will be distributed to the other series-type charging device immediately to charge the battery of the series-type charging device.

Abstract
The series-type charging device comprises an input-terminal, an output-terminal, a control unit and a detector unit. The input-terminal receives an input power. The output-terminal connects the input-terminal and another series-type charging device, and provides a next-level power. The control unit connects the input-terminal and the output-terminal, and stores an upper limit value of the input power, and obtains an output power by shunt of the input power. The control unit generates a charging power according to the output power, and charges a battery. The detector unit is connected between the input-terminal and the output-terminal to measure a supply power of the input power. Wherein, charging the battery of another series-type charging device first when another series-type charging device is connected with the output-terminal and the remaining power is arranged for the other series-type charging device.
