[0020] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0021] Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of the invention. The described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the invention. Based on the embodiments of the invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.

[0022] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention.

[0023] As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the listed items.

[0024] With the increasing popularity of new energy vehicles, the safety of charging stations, as an important supporting facility, has become increasingly prominent. Currently, most charging stations on the market adopt an integrated structure. While this structure simplifies the design and manufacturing process of charging stations to some extent, it also brings many safety hazards.

[0025] In integrated charging stations, all confidential data and control functions are centrally processed by the internal controller. This means that if a charging station is maliciously damaged by criminals, its internal confidential data will be exposed without any protection. This confidential data may include users' personal information, charging records, payment information, etc. Once stolen, it will not only seriously affect the normal and safe operation of the charging station, leading to data breaches and financial losses, but may also endanger the personal safety of users. For example, if users' personal information is leaked, it may be used by criminals for fraud and other illegal activities, causing unnecessary trouble and losses to users.

[0026] Furthermore, when an integrated charging station is damaged, its internal control functions are easily affected, which may cause the charging station to malfunction or even break down, further impacting the user's charging experience and the normal use of the charging station.

[0027] Therefore, embodiments of this application provide an anti-theft device and control method for charging piles, which can prevent criminals from stealing confidential information from the charging piles. The charging piles and methods of this application also ensure the operational safety of the charging piles and the personal safety of users, thus improving the security of the charging piles.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1. The anti-theft device for charging piles in this application is applied to a charging pile 100, which includes a housing and a charging circuit. The charging circuit is disposed inside the housing.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 2, which shows a schematic diagram of a charging pile anti-theft device 200 according to an embodiment of this application. The device includes a controller 10, a detection module 20, a display module 30, an authentication module 40, and a power module (not shown in the figure). The controller 10 is connected to the detection module 20, the authentication module 40, the display module 30, and the power module.

[0030] In the specific implementation process, the detection module 20 is used to detect the physical status information of the charging pile 100. The physical status information may include at least one of the vibration amplitude, vibration frequency, position signal, and cover detection signal of the charging pile 100. The controller 10 can control the display module 30 to display the current status and abnormal information of the charging pile 100. The authentication module 40 is used to acquire the user's authentication information and output the authentication information to the controller 10. The authentication information includes at least one of biometric information, key acquisition information, or password. The power module is used to provide operating voltage to the controller 10, display module 30, detection module 20, and authentication module 40 respectively.

[0031] For example, when the detection module 20 outputs physical status information of the charging pile 100 to the controller 10, and the controller 10 determines that the charging pile 100 has been damaged based on the physical status information, it acquires the authentication information output by the authentication module 40. If the authentication module 40 does not output authentication information or outputs incorrect authentication information, the controller controls the display module 30 to display charging pile abnormality alarm information and displays the corresponding abnormal information to remind the user that the charging pile 100 has been damaged. For example, the abnormal information may include at least one of the physical status information of the charging pile 100 collected by the detection module 20, the authentication information output by the authentication module 40, and the identity information of the charging pile 100.

[0032] In one embodiment, the controller 10 is also used to store confidential data of the charging pile 100 and encrypt the confidential data to prevent criminals from stealing the confidential data in the charging pile 100, reduce the risk of confidential data being stolen or altered, and provide more reliable protection for the operator and users of the charging pile 100. Optionally, when the controller 10 detects that the charging pile 100 has been damaged and the authentication module 40 has not output the corresponding authentication information, the controller 10 can also control the charging circuit in the charging pile 100 to stop charging.

[0033] In practical applications, users can determine the anomaly level corresponding to different physical state information based on historical physical state information, and determine the protective measures corresponding to each anomaly level, so as to establish a comparison table of the anomaly level of each physical state information and the comparison table of the protective measures corresponding to each anomaly level. The comparison table of the anomaly level of each physical state information and the comparison table of the protective measures corresponding to each anomaly level are pre-stored in the controller 10.

[0034] Specifically, the controller 10 is also used to acquire physical state information detected by the detection module 20, so that when the charging pile 100 is damaged, the abnormality level of the charging pile 100 can be determined based on the physical state information, and then corresponding protective measures can be determined and executed based on the abnormality level. For example, the charging pile 100 is provided with an inner shell and an outer shell, and an inner cover is provided on the inner shell and an outer cover is provided on the outer shell. The controller 10 can be installed inside the inner shell, and the controller 10 can also be connected to a remote server. If the controller 10 detects that the outer cover on the outer shell is opened by the detection module 20, it can determine that the current abnormality level is level one, and the display module 30 can display that the current abnormality level is level one and that the outer cover is open, reminding the user to close the outer cover. If the controller 10 stores confidential data of the charging pile 100, and the controller 10 detects through the detection module 20 that the inner cover on the inner shell has been opened, it determines that the current anomaly level is level two. The display module 30 then displays that the current anomaly level is level two and that the inner cover of the charging pile 100 has been opened. The controller 10 also transfers the confidential data stored in the controller 10 to a remote server to prevent criminals from stealing the confidential data in the charging pile 100, reduce the risk of confidential data being stolen or altered, and provide more reliable protection for the operators and users of the charging pile 100.

[0035] In one embodiment, the controller 10 is further configured to control the display module 30 to display corresponding error information based on the authentication information output by the authentication module 40. Specifically, when the controller 10 detects an error in the authentication information output by the authentication module 40, the controller 10 controls the display module 30 to display an authentication information error message. When the controller 10 detects multiple consecutive authentication information errors output by the authentication module 40, the controller 10 controls the display module 30 to display the authentication information error message and controls the charging circuit in the charging pile 100 to stop charging, thereby preventing electric shock, fire, and other safety accidents, reducing secondary damage to the equipment and economic losses, and protecting the safety of the user's vehicle and property. Optionally, when the controller 10 detects multiple consecutive authentication information errors output by the authentication module 40, the controller 10 can transfer internally stored confidential data to a remote server to prevent malicious theft of confidential data from the charging pile 100.

[0036] In one embodiment, the controller 10 may also record the current time and generate an anomaly record when it detects that the charging pile 100 has been damaged and / or that the authentication module 40 has repeatedly output incorrect authentication information. This allows the user to retrieve and view the anomaly record of the charging pile 100 in the controller 10 via the display module 30. Based on the anomaly record, potential security threats can be identified, and the security principles of the charging pile 100 can be adjusted and optimized, thereby improving the security of the charging pile 100. The anomaly record includes the physical state information of the charging pile 100, the time of the anomaly, and authentication information. The security principles may include measures such as optimizing the structure of the charging pile, and are not limited to these in practical applications, depending on the specific application environment; all are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 3, which shows a schematic diagram of the specific structure of a charging pile anti-theft device 200 provided in another embodiment of this application.

[0038] In one embodiment, the detection module 20 may include a vibration sensor 21. The vibration sensor 21 is connected to the controller 10, and the power module provides operating voltage to the vibration sensor 21. In practical applications, multiple vibration sensors 21 can be installed within the housing of the charging pile 100, and each vibration sensor 21 is arranged in a grid pattern within the housing of the charging pile 100 to fully cover all parts of the charging pile 100, detect vibrations at different locations, eliminate blind spots in the sensing of the charging pile 100, and effectively improve the safety protection capability of the charging pile 100.

[0039] In this embodiment, the vibration sensor 21 is used to detect the vibration amplitude of the charging pile 100 and output the corresponding vibration amplitude to the controller 10. This allows the controller 10 to determine whether there is an external force attempting to damage the charging pile 100 based on the vibration amplitude detected by the vibration sensor 21. For example, when the charging pile 100 is operated normally, such as when plugging or unplugging the charging gun or opening the operation panel, the resulting vibration amplitude is usually small and has a certain regularity. However, when the charging pile 100 is maliciously damaged, such as when it is knocked, pried, or impacted, the vibration amplitude will increase significantly. Therefore, a vibration threshold can be set to determine whether someone is attempting to damage the charging pile 100. When the vibration sensor 21 detects that the vibration amplitude of the charging pile 100 is greater than the preset vibration amplitude, the controller 10 can control the display module 30 to display abnormal alarm information about the charging pile. Specifically, it can display that the charging pile 100 has experienced abnormal vibration, reminding the user to take corresponding measures to prevent criminals from stealing confidential information from the charging pile 100, thereby improving the security and reliability of the charging pile 100. In practical applications, the preset vibration amplitude is the range of vibration amplitudes of the charging pile 100 under the condition that it has not been maliciously damaged. Users can determine the preset vibration amplitude based on actual test data.

[0040] For example, when the controller 10 detects that the vibration amplitude of the charging pile 100 exceeds the preset vibration amplitude through the vibration sensor 21, and the authentication module 40 does not output the corresponding authentication information, the controller 10 controls the display module 30 to display the charging pile abnormality alarm information, that is, controls the display module 30 to display the vibration abnormality information to remind the user to check the charging pile 100, prevent criminals from stealing the confidential data in the charging pile 100, and improve the security and reliability of the charging pile 100; when the controller 10 detects that the vibration amplitude of the charging pile 100 is less than or equal to the preset vibration amplitude through the vibration sensor 21, the controller 10 controls the display module 30 to display that the charging pile 100 has not experienced any abnormality.

[0041] In one embodiment, the detection module 20 may further include a displacement sensor 22. The displacement sensor 22 is connected to the controller 10, and the power module provides operating voltage to the displacement sensor 22.

[0042] In this embodiment, the displacement sensor 22 can detect the position signal of the charging pile 100 and output the position signal of the charging pile 100 to the controller 10, so that the controller 10 can determine whether there are criminals moving the charging pile 100 based on the position signal of the charging pile 100 and the authentication information output by the identity authentication module 40.

[0043] For example, when criminals move the charging pile 100, the position signal output by the displacement sensor 22 changes. The controller 10 determines that the position of the charging pile 100 has moved and obtains the authentication information output by the authentication module 40. This allows the controller 10 to control the display module 30 to display the status of the charging pile 100 based on the position signal output by the displacement sensor 22 and the authentication information output by the authentication module 40. This prevents criminals from stealing confidential data from the charging pile 100 and improves the security and reliability of the charging pile 100.

[0044] For example, when the controller 10 detects a change in the position signal output by the displacement sensor 22, and the authentication module 40 does not output displacement authentication information to the controller 10, the controller 10 controls the display module 30 to display charging pile abnormality alarm information, that is, controls the display module 30 to display that the charging pile 100 has been displaced, so as to remind the user to check the charging pile 100, prevent criminals from moving the charging pile 100 and stealing confidential data in the charging pile 100, and improve the security and reliability of the charging pile 100; when the position signal output by the displacement sensor 22 has not changed, the controller 10 controls the display module 30 to display that the charging pile 100 has not experienced any abnormality.

[0045] In one embodiment, when a cover is provided on the housing of the charging pile 100, the detection module 20 may also include a cover opening sensor 23. The cover opening sensor 23 is connected to the controller 10, and the power module provides operating voltage to the cover opening sensor 23.

[0046] In this embodiment, the controller 10 can detect whether the cover of the charging pile 100 has been opened using the cover-opening sensor 23, thereby determining whether there is an external force attempting to damage the charging pile 100. For example, when the cover of the charging pile 100 is opened, the cover-opening sensor 23 outputs a corresponding detection signal to the controller 10, and the controller 10 obtains the authentication information output by the authentication module 40. This allows the controller 10 to control the display module 30 to display the status of the charging pile 100 based on the detection signal output by the cover-opening sensor 23 and the authentication information output by the authentication module 40, preventing unauthorized individuals from opening the charging pile 100 and stealing confidential data from it, thus improving the security and reliability of the charging pile 100.

[0047] For example, when the cover sensor 23 detects that the cover of the charging pile 100 has been opened, it outputs an opening signal to the controller 10. When the authentication module 40 does not output the opening authentication information, the control display module 30 displays the charging pile abnormality alarm information, that is, the control display module 30 displays that the cover of the charging pile 100 has been opened, reminding the user to check the charging pile 100, preventing criminals from opening the charging pile 100 and stealing confidential data in the charging pile 100, thereby improving the security and reliability of the charging pile 100. When the controller 10 detects that the cover of the charging pile 100 has not been opened by the cover sensor 23, it can control the display module 30 to display that the charging pile 100 has not experienced any abnormalities.

[0048] In practical applications, when the charging pile 100 includes a plurality of housings, and each housing is provided with a corresponding cover, the detection module 20 may include a plurality of cover opening sensors 23 to realize the status detection of each cover. For example, when the charging pile 100 is provided with an inner shell and an outer shell, and the inner shell is provided with an inner cover and the outer shell is provided with an outer cover, the detection module 20 may include a first cover opening sensor and a second cover opening sensor, wherein the first cover opening sensor is used to detect whether the outer cover is opened, and the second cover opening sensor is used to detect whether the inner cover is opened.

[0049] In practical applications, users can configure the sensor types in the detection module 20 according to the specific needs of the charging pile 100. By using different types of sensors, complementary detection can be achieved, avoiding the impact of using a single sensor on the accuracy of the detection results, and realizing comprehensive detection of the charging pile 100. For example, a vibration sensor 21 can be installed inside the charging pile 100 to detect the vibration of the charging pile 100, and a displacement sensor 22 and a cover opening sensor 23 can be installed inside the charging pile 100. The displacement sensor 22 can detect whether the charging pile 100 has moved, and the cover opening sensor 23 can sense whether the cover of the charging pile 100 has been opened, thereby realizing comprehensive detection of the charging pile 100.

[0050] In one embodiment, the identity authentication module 40 may also include a biometric unit 41. The biometric unit 41 is connected to the controller 10, and the power module provides operating voltage to the biometric unit 41. In practical applications, the controller 10 pre-stores the user's biometric information. After the biometric unit 41 outputs biometric information to the controller 10, the controller 10 compares the biometric information output by the biometric unit 41 with the biometric information stored in the controller 10. If the biometric information output by the biometric unit 41 is found to be different from the biometric information stored in the controller 10 multiple times consecutively, the control display module 30 displays a biometric information error message and controls the charging circuit in the charging pile 100 to stop charging. Optionally, if the controller 10 detects that the biometric information output by the biometric unit 41 is different from the biometric information stored in the controller 10 multiple times consecutively, the controller 10 can transfer internally stored confidential data to a remote server to prevent malicious theft of confidential data from the charging pile 100. Specifically, the biometric information may be fingerprint information or facial recognition information, and is not limited to these in practical applications, depending on the specific application environment, all of which are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0051] In one embodiment, the authentication module 40 may further include a physical key unit 42. The physical key unit 42 is connected to the controller 10, and the power module provides operating voltage to the physical key unit 42. In practical applications, the controller 10 stores preset key information. After the physical key unit 42 outputs key acquisition information to the controller 10, the controller 10 compares the key acquisition information output by the physical key unit 42 with the preset key information stored in the controller 10. If the controller detects multiple consecutive differences between the key acquisition information output by the physical key unit 42 and the preset key information stored in the controller 10, it controls the display module 30 to display a key input error message and controls the charging circuit in the charging pile 100 to stop charging. Optionally, if the controller detects multiple consecutive differences between the key acquisition information output by the physical key unit 42 and the preset key information stored in the controller 10, the controller 10 may transfer internally stored confidential data to a remote server to prevent malicious theft of confidential data from the charging pile 100.

[0052] In one embodiment, the authentication module 40 may further include a password input unit 43. The password input unit 43 is connected to the controller 10, and the power module provides operating voltage to the password input unit 43. In practical applications, the controller 10 stores a preset password. After a user outputs a password to the controller 10 via the password input unit 43, the controller 10 compares the password output by the password input unit 43 with the preset password stored in the controller 10. If the password output by the password input unit 43 is found to be different from the preset password stored in the controller 10 multiple times consecutively, the control display module 30 displays a password input error message and controls the charging circuit in the charging pile 100 to stop charging. Optionally, if the controller 10 detects that the password output by the password input unit 43 is different from the preset password stored in the controller 10 multiple times consecutively, the controller 10 may transfer internally stored confidential data to a remote server to prevent malicious theft of confidential data from the charging pile 100. Specifically, the password can be a six-digit digital password or a graphic password. In practical applications, it is not limited to these, but depends on the specific application environment, and all of them are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0053] In one embodiment, the user can configure the identity authentication module 40 according to the specific needs of the charging pile 100 to reduce the false alarm probability of the charging pile anti-theft device 200, and achieve complementary authentication through different types of authentication methods, thereby comprehensively improving the security protection level and operational reliability of the charging pile 100, and thus enhancing the user's trust.

[0054] In one embodiment, the power module may be the charging circuit in the charging pile 100, so that when the charging circuit is working, it can provide operating voltage to the controller 10, display module 30, detection module 20 and authentication module 40 respectively. Optionally, the power module may also include a backup battery, so that when the charging circuit stops working, the backup battery can provide operating voltage to the controller 10, display module 30, detection module 20 and authentication module 40 respectively, ensuring that the charging pile anti-theft device 200 can continue to operate, promptly detect abnormalities in the charging pile 100, notify the user to take appropriate measures, and prevent the charging pile 100 from being damaged.

[0055] Figure 4 is a flowchart illustrating a charging pile anti-theft control method provided in one embodiment of this application. The charging pile anti-theft control method is applied in the controller 10. Depending on different requirements, the order of steps in this flowchart can be changed, and some steps can be omitted or combined. The charging pile anti-theft control method includes the following steps:

[0056] Step S401: Obtain the physical status information of the charging pile collected by the detection module.

[0057] The following description uses the charging pile anti-theft device 200 shown in Figure 2 as an example. The controller 10 can detect the physical status information of the charging pile 100 through the detection module 20. In one embodiment, the physical status information may include at least one of the vibration amplitude, vibration frequency, position signal, and cover detection signal of the charging pile 100.

[0058] Step S402: Determine whether the charging station has been damaged based on the physical status information.

[0059] After the controller 10 detects the physical status information of the charging pile 100 through the detection module 20, it determines whether the charging pile 100 has been damaged based on the physical status information. If the charging pile 100 is damaged, the controller 10 executes step S403; if the charging pile 100 is not damaged, the controller 10 returns to execute step S401.

[0060] Step S403: Control the display module to display abnormal alarm information of the charging pile.

[0061] When the charging pile 100 is damaged, the controller 10 controls the display module 30 to display abnormal alarm information of the charging pile. Optionally, the controller 10 can also control the display module 30 to display the physical status information of the charging pile 100, so that the user can take corresponding measures based on the physical status information to prevent criminals from damaging the charging pile 100 and maliciously stealing confidential data from the charging pile 100.

[0062] The charging pile anti-theft device 200 and its control method in the embodiments of this application can remind the user of the abnormality of the charging pile 100 when it is damaged by criminals, so that the user can take corresponding measures to prevent criminals from opening the charging pile 100 and stealing confidential information in the charging pile 100, thereby improving the security and reliability of the charging pile 100.
