[0036] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0037] Embodiment 1

[0038] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of a vehicle battery replacement detection system provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the system of this embodiment may specifically include: a position sensor 10, a control module 11 and a battery swap robot 12 connected to the control module 11, wherein the position sensor 10 is deployed at a target battery swap position of a battery swap station;

[0039] The position sensor 10 is used to detect whether a vehicle has driven to the target battery replacement position. If so, a battery replacement signal is generated to indicate that there is a vehicle to be replaced and sent to the control module 11;

[0040] The control module 11 is used to determine the vehicle currently driving to the target battery swap position as the target vehicle when receiving the battery swap signal, obtain the target vehicle information of the target vehicle, generate a battery swap control instruction based on the target vehicle information and send it to the battery swap robot 12;

[0041] The battery swap robot 12 is used to receive the battery swap control instruction and perform the battery swap operation for the target vehicle based on the battery swap control instruction.

[0042] In this embodiment, a position sensor can be deployed at the target battery swapping position of the battery swapping station. The target battery swapping position can be a designated battery swapping position of the battery swapping station, which can ensure that the vehicle entering the station is parked at a position where the battery pack is facing the battery swapping robot. The position sensor 10 can detect whether there is a vehicle entering the target battery swapping position. When it is determined that the vehicle is stopped at the target battery swapping position, a battery swapping signal is generated to indicate that there is a vehicle to be swapped and sent to the control module 11.

[0043] Furthermore, the position sensor 10 can be deployed in the target battery swapping position, at the position corresponding to when the front wheels of the vehicle stop, to detect the front wheels of the vehicle entering the target battery swapping position. Exemplarily, the number of position sensors 10 can be two or more. When one of the position sensors 10 fails and cannot be used, the incoming vehicle can be detected by other deployed position sensors. The position sensors 10 are redundant in number to ensure that it can detect whether the vehicle has reached the target battery swapping position.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the control module 11 receives the battery replacement signal, it indicates that the target vehicle currently driving to the target battery replacement position needs to perform battery replacement service, and the target vehicle information of the target vehicle can be obtained. For example, the target vehicle information includes information such as vehicle size, license plate number, and vehicle identification code.

[0045] Specifically, the system may also include an image collector connected to the control module 11, which collects vehicle information through the image collector, and the control module 11 obtains the target vehicle information of the target vehicle collected by the image collector. The control module 11 generates a battery swap control instruction based on the target vehicle information and sends it to the battery swap robot 12, so that the battery swap robot 12 performs a battery swap operation for the target vehicle based on the received battery swap control instruction.

[0046] Furthermore, the control module 11 can also establish a communication connection with the target vehicle, and obtain the target vehicle information of the target vehicle through the vehicle controller of the target vehicle. The control module 11 can also be connected to the radio frequency identification module to collect vehicle information through the radio frequency identification module. Exemplarily, the image collector and the radio frequency identification module can also be used to simultaneously identify the vehicle information of the vehicle, and the vehicle information identified by the two methods can be mutually verified. If the vehicle information collected by the image collector and the radio frequency identification module at the same time is consistent, it means that the identification is correct and the battery replacement operation can be performed; if the two are inconsistent, the verification fails, and the operation and maintenance personnel need to be notified for manual confirmation. If both recognize the vehicle information, the voice broadcast module can be used to prompt the vehicle driver to adjust the vehicle position, or detect whether the license plate information is blocked to ensure that the vehicle information can be accurately obtained.

[0047] Optionally, the system of this embodiment further includes: a positioning module and a voice broadcast module respectively connected to the control module; wherein,

[0048] The positioning module is used to identify whether there is a vehicle entering the preset entry area of ​​the battery swap station. If so, it generates vehicle entry information and sends it to the control module;

[0049] The control module is further used to generate battery swap position indication information including a target battery swap position based on the received vehicle entry information and send it to the voice broadcast module;

[0050] The voice broadcast module is used to broadcast the received battery replacement location indication information.

[0051] Specifically, the positioning module includes an image recognition module and / or a radar module. The image information collected by the image recognition module can be used to identify whether there is a vehicle entering the preset entrance area of ​​the battery swap station; it can also be determined whether there is a vehicle entering the preset entrance area by reading the radar signal of the radar module in the battery swap station. When a vehicle enters the preset entrance area, it means that a vehicle may need to provide battery swap services, and vehicle entry information can be generated and sent to the control module. The control module can pre-store the target battery swap position, generate battery swap position indication information containing the target battery swap position, and send it to the voice broadcast module.

[0052] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the vehicle can accurately reach the target battery swap position, the voice broadcast module can broadcast the received battery swap position indication information to remind the vehicle to drive to the target battery swap position and perform the battery swap operation.

[0053] Optionally, the target battery swapping position is deployed with two or more position sensors, and the number of voice broadcast modules and positioning modules is two or more. Exemplarily, the entry of a vehicle is identified by two or more positioning modules. If one of the positioning modules is abnormal, the entry of the vehicle can be identified based on the other positioning modules. When one positioning module identifies a vehicle, it is considered that a vehicle has entered; when none of the positioning modules identifies a vehicle, it means that no vehicle has entered the battery swapping station.

[0054] For example, when playing voice, each voice broadcast module can collect the voice effect played by itself to determine whether the voice is damaged. At the same time, each voice broadcast module is alternately played during the playback process to determine whether it is damaged. If damage is found, other voice broadcast modules can be used to give voice prompts. For the damaged voice broadcast module, the operation and maintenance personnel can be notified to repair it.

[0055] For example, a dual-path position sensor can be used to identify whether the vehicle's tires have reached the target battery replacement position. When only one tire is identified as being in place, the position sensor is considered abnormal, and the operation and maintenance personnel are notified to repair it in time. When all wheels are identified as being in place, the vehicle is considered to be in place.

[0056] Optionally, the control module is also used to monitor whether the position sensor, voice broadcast module and positioning module are in a fault state. If so, an alarm message is generated and sent to the operation and maintenance terminal according to the pre-stored contact information of the operation and maintenance personnel.

[0057] Optionally, the control module is also used to establish a communication connection with the vehicle controller of the target vehicle before generating a battery replacement control instruction based on the target vehicle information and sending it to the battery replacement robot, and generate a power-off instruction and send it to the target vehicle to control the target vehicle to perform a power-off operation.

[0058] Specifically, when the target vehicle arrives at the target battery replacement position, in order to safely and efficiently complete the battery replacement operation of the target vehicle, the control module can establish a communication connection with the vehicle controller, generate a power-off command and send it to the target controller of the target vehicle, and the target controller controls the target vehicle to perform the power-off operation through the received power-off command.

[0059] Optionally, the control module is further used to obtain working information of the target vehicle after sending the power-off instruction, determine whether the target vehicle is in a power-off state based on the working information, and if not in a power-off state, generate power-off notification information and send it to the voice broadcast module;

[0060] The voice broadcast module is also used to play the received power-off notification information.

[0061] Specifically, to prevent the power-off operation from failing, working information indicating the working status of the target vehicle can be obtained to determine whether the target vehicle has completed the power-off operation in accordance with the power-off instruction. If it is determined that the target vehicle has not yet been powered off, a power-off notification message can be generated and played through the voice broadcast module so that the driver of the target vehicle can manually perform the power-off operation under instructions to prepare for subsequent battery replacement operations.

[0062] The vehicle battery replacement detection system provided by the embodiment of the present invention detects whether there is a vehicle driving to the target battery replacement position through a position sensor. If so, a battery replacement signal is generated to indicate that there is a vehicle to be replaced and sent to the control module. When the control module receives the battery replacement signal, it determines the vehicle currently driving to the target battery replacement position as the target vehicle, obtains the target vehicle information of the target vehicle, generates a battery replacement control instruction based on the target vehicle information and sends it to the battery replacement robot, so that the battery replacement robot performs a battery replacement operation for the target vehicle based on the battery replacement control instruction. The problem that the battery replacement process controlled by the staff is prone to errors is solved, and the cost investment is reduced and the battery replacement efficiency is improved.

[0066] The control module 11 is also used to send the target vehicle information to the cloud platform 13;

[0067] The cloud platform 13 is used to determine the battery swap authorization information of the target vehicle based on the received target vehicle information, and send the battery swap authorization information to the control module 11 so that the control module 11 determines whether to provide battery swap service for the target vehicle based on the battery swap authorization information.

[0068] In order to provide better services to users, it is necessary to confirm whether the target vehicle has authorized the battery swap station for battery swap before battery swapping. Specifically, the authorized vehicle information of vehicles that have authorized the battery swap station for battery swapping can be pre-stored on the cloud platform 13. After the control module 11 determines the target vehicle information of the target vehicle, the target vehicle information can be sent to the cloud platform 13. After receiving the target vehicle information, the cloud platform 13 can compare it with the stored authorized vehicle information of the battery swap authorization to determine whether the target vehicle is an authorized vehicle, and generate battery swap authorization information based on the determined result and send it to the control module 11. Exemplarily, the battery swap authorization information is used to indicate whether the target vehicle is an authorized vehicle. For authorized vehicles, the next step of the battery swap operation can be performed; for unauthorized vehicles, it can be prompted that the vehicle is currently unauthorized, so that the vehicle can perform authorized operations or leave the battery swap station.

[0069] Optionally, the cloud platform 13 is also used to store the battery replacement method corresponding to the vehicle battery replacement;

[0070] The control module 11 is also used to periodically obtain the battery replacement method stored on the cloud platform 13 according to a preset time interval.

[0071] Specifically, the control module 11 can download the battery replacement method from the cloud platform 13 at a preset time interval, so as to replace the battery for the target vehicle according to the downloaded battery replacement method, thereby avoiding the inability to replace the battery of the target vehicle normally when the network is disconnected. Exemplarily, the battery replacement method includes the battery replacement time and / or the battery replacement power.

[0072] Furthermore, the control module 11 can store the battery replacement information of the battery replacement process of each vehicle, and upload the battery replacement information to the cloud platform 13 when the network connection is normal.

[0073] Furthermore, when the control module fails to connect to the vehicle controller, such as when an abnormality occurs in the Bluetooth module or other wireless communication devices, the vehicle-side T_BOX module can be used to remotely connect to the cloud platform, and the information that needs to be transmitted to the control module can be first sent to the cloud platform, and the information is forwarded to the control module through the cloud platform, thereby ensuring that the control module can obtain vehicle information normally.

[0074] The embodiment of the present invention verifies whether the vehicle is authorized through the cloud platform, thereby ensuring the safety of the battery replacement process; and regularly downloads the battery replacement method from the cloud platform at preset time intervals, so as to replace the battery for the target vehicle according to the downloaded battery replacement method, thereby avoiding the inability to normally replace the battery of the target vehicle when the network is disconnected, thereby improving the battery replacement efficiency.

[0075] It is worth noting that in the above-mentioned embodiment of the vehicle battery replacement detection system, the various units and modules included are only divided according to functional logic, but are not limited to the above-mentioned division, as long as the corresponding functions can be achieved; in addition, the specific names of the functional units are only for the convenience of distinguishing each other, and are not used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
