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.
