Abstract

A charging combination includes a power output device which is configured to output electric energy constantly or adjustably and a power input device which is configured to receive electric energy from the power output device. The power output device includes a power supply module for storing electric energy or obtaining electric energy from an external power grid as an energy source, a first USB connector for being connected with the power supply module and at least configured to transfer electric energy, and a first control module having a first controller which is at least configured to control an output voltage of the first USB connector when supplying electric energy. The power input device comprises a second USB connector at least configured to be electrically coupled to the first USB connector for transferring electric energy, and a second control module comprising a second controller at least configured to communicate with the first controller and to control the second USB connector. The first USB connector provides an output voltage which is greater than or equal to 5V.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A power supply system, comprising an electric tool and an electric equipment which can receive electric energy from the electric tool,
wherein the electric tool comprises:
a power supply module configured to store electric energy or to obtain electric energy from an external power grid as an energy source of the electric tool;
a first USB connector for being electrically coupled to the power supply module and at least configured to transfer electric energy; and
a first control module comprising a first controller which is at least configured to control an output voltage of the first USB connector when supplying electric energy;

wherein the electric equipment comprises:
a second USB connector configured to be electrically coupled to the first USB connector for transferring electric energy; and
a second control module comprising a second controller at least configured to communicate with the first control module and controlling the second USB connector; and
the second USB connector provides an output voltage greater than or equal to 5V;

wherein the first control module further comprises a first identification unit for indicating power supply characteristics of the electric tool, the power supply characteristics including at least a maximum output voltage of the first connector, and the first identification unit configured to at least communicate with the second control module,
wherein the second control module further comprises a second identification unit for indicating power characteristics of the electric equipment, the power input characteristics of the electric equipment includes at least a maximum input voltage of the second USB connector, and the first controller is configured to at least communicate with the second control module, and
wherein the first controller is electrically coupled to the power supply module and the first USB connector, respectively, the first USB connector has at least two power supply modes, including a precharging power supply mode in which the first USB connector provides an output voltage constantly equal to 5V and an optimum power supply mode in which the first connector provides an output voltage greater than 5V, the first controller controls the first USB connector to switch between the regular power supply mode and the optimum power supply mode, and the second controller controls an output voltage of the first USB connector in the optimum power supply mode by communicating with the first control module.

2. The power supply system according to claim 1 , wherein the second controller communicates with the first controller via the first USB connector and the second USB connector.
