[0086] The present invention will be further described below by way of embodiments, but the present invention is not limited thereto within the scope of the described embodiments.

[0087] To overcome the above-mentioned defects existing currently, this embodiment provides a method for identifying the number of queuing vehicles for battery swapping, including: obtaining the screening range of queuing vehicles at a target battery swapping station; obtaining the vehicle information of electric vehicles; when it is determined according to the vehicle information that the electric vehicle is within the screening range of queuing vehicles and meets the battery swapping conditions, identifying the electric vehicle as a queuing vehicle at the target battery swapping station; and determining the queuing quantity based on the identified queuing vehicles.

[0088] In this embodiment, the method can be applied to a battery swapping station or the cloud, but the application scenario is not specifically limited and can be selected and adjusted according to actual needs.

[0089] In this embodiment, by automatically obtaining the screening range of queuing vehicles at a target battery swapping station and the vehicle position information of electric vehicles, and using the relationship between the vehicle position information and the screening range of queuing vehicles as the identification basis, the automatic identification of queuing vehicles is realized. Furthermore, the queuing quantity can be determined based on the identified queuing vehicles, reducing the workload of the staff at the battery swapping station and improving the identification efficiency.

[0090] Specifically, as an embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown in the figure, the method for identifying the number of battery swapping queuing vehicles provided in this embodiment mainly includes the following steps:

[0091] Step 101: Obtain the queuing vehicle screening range of the target battery swapping station.

[0092] In this step, first determine the target battery swapping station in the navigation map, and then obtain the queuing vehicle screening range of the target battery swapping station. Among them, the queuing vehicle screening range of the target battery swapping station is the range for screening the queuing vehicles of the target battery swapping station. In theory, only the vehicles located within the queuing vehicle screening range will be identified as the queuing vehicles of the target battery swapping station.

[0093] Specifically, as an embodiment, set a virtual fence in the navigation map according to the location of the target battery swapping station, and use the coverage range of the virtual fence as the queuing vehicle screening range of the target battery swapping station.

[0094] By setting the virtual fence method to determine the queuing vehicle screening range, the regional range can be effectively screened, and the accuracy of identifying queuing vehicles can be improved.

[0095] As another embodiment, obtain the area where the distance from the target battery swapping station is less than or equal to the preset distance, as the queuing vehicle screening range of the target battery swapping station. This distance can be the straight-line distance or the navigation route distance, and can be selected accordingly according to actual needs.

[0096] By setting the preset distance area method to determine the queuing vehicle screening range, the regional range can be effectively screened, and the accuracy of identifying queuing vehicles can be improved.

[0097] Step 102: Obtain the vehicle information of the vehicle.

[0098] In this step, as an embodiment, obtain the vehicle information of the electric vehicle from the in-vehicle embedded system of the electric vehicle.

[0099] As another embodiment, obtain the vehicle information of the electric vehicle from the third-party cloud. The vehicle information of the third-party cloud is derived from the in-vehicle embedded system of the electric vehicle.

[0100] The vehicle information can be conveniently and quickly obtained through the in-vehicle embedded system or the third-party cloud, so as to ensure the accuracy and security of vehicle data.

[0101] Specifically, new energy vehicles such as electric vehicles generally integrate an on-board embedded system that combines modules such as OBD (On-Board Diagnostic System), MCU (Microcontroller Unit) / CPU (Central Processing Unit), FLASH (Flash Memory), various sensors, GPS (Global Positioning System), 2G (Second Generation Mobile Communication Technology) / 3G (Third Generation Mobile Communication Technology) / 4G (Fourth Generation Mobile Communication Technology) / 5G (Fifth Generation Mobile Communication Technology), Wi-Fi (Wireless Internet) / Bluetooth, etc. This system transmits data in real time with third-party clouds such as the data cloud of the vehicle manufacturer.

[0102] In an implementable manner, the on-board embedded system can collect driving information of the electric vehicle and communicate with the outside of the electric vehicle. One implementable way of the on-board embedded system is the vehicle information and positioning transmission system (Tbox), or it can also be the vehicle control system of the electric vehicle.

[0103] As a preferred embodiment, the vehicle information of the electric vehicle at least includes the vehicle position, driving speed, and remaining vehicle power (SOC). However, the type of vehicle information is not specifically limited in this embodiment and can be selected and adjusted according to actual needs.

[0104] Step 103: Identify the vehicles located within the queuing vehicle screening range and meeting the battery swapping conditions as queuing vehicles.

[0105] In this step, as an embodiment, when the vehicle position is within the queuing vehicle screening range and the driving speed is lower than the preset speed, the electric vehicle is identified as a queuing vehicle for the target battery swapping station.

[0106] Specifically, when the collected vehicle GPS position is within the virtual fence or the distance from the center of the target battery swapping station is less than or equal to the preset distance (for example, preferably 50m), it is judged whether the driving speed of the vehicle is lower than the preset speed (for example, preferably 5km / h). If so, the vehicle can be identified as being in the queuing state currently. If not, the vehicle can be identified as a vehicle passing by the target battery swapping station.

[0107] Using the driving speed of the vehicle as a battery swapping condition to intelligently identify queuing vehicles, thereby improving the accuracy of vehicle identification.

[0108] As a preferred embodiment, in this step, when the vehicle position is within the queuing vehicle screening range, the driving speed is lower than the preset speed, and the remaining vehicle power is lower than the preset power, the electric vehicle is identified as a queuing vehicle for the target battery swapping station.

[0109] Specifically, on the basis of determining the driving speed, it is also determined whether the remaining battery power of the vehicle is lower than a preset power (for example, preferably 70%). If so, the vehicle can be identified as a queuing vehicle that needs battery replacement. If not, the vehicle can be identified as a vehicle that has completed battery replacement or other special situations.

[0110] Taking the driving speed and the remaining battery power of the vehicle as battery replacement conditions to intelligently identify queuing vehicles makes the battery replacement conditions more comprehensive, thereby further improving the accuracy of vehicle identification.

[0111] Step 104: Determine the queuing quantity of the target battery replacement station according to the identified queuing vehicles.

[0112] In this step, according to the identification time of the queuing vehicle quantity, determine the maximum queuing vehicle quantity, the minimum queuing vehicle quantity, and the average queuing vehicle quantity of the target battery replacement station within the statistical time period. According to the queuing quantity update period, the maximum queuing vehicle quantity, the minimum queuing vehicle quantity, and the average queuing vehicle quantity of the target battery replacement station, determine the current queuing quantity of the target battery replacement station.

[0113] Specifically, the target battery replacement station or the cloud can update the queuing vehicle quantity of the target battery replacement station according to the queuing vehicle quantity update period. Each queuing vehicle quantity corresponds to an identification time. In this way, according to the identification time of the queuing vehicle quantity, the maximum queuing vehicle quantity, the minimum queuing vehicle quantity, and the average queuing vehicle quantity of the target battery replacement station within the statistical time period can be determined. Then, according to the queuing quantity update period, the maximum queuing vehicle quantity, the minimum queuing vehicle quantity, and the average queuing vehicle quantity of the target battery replacement station, determine the current queuing quantity of the target battery replacement station.

[0114] Among them, the statistical time period can be the battery replacement time period.

[0115] In an implementable manner, the current queuing quantity of the target battery replacement station is determined according to the following formula:

[0116] Queuing quantity = ROUND((Maximum queuing vehicle quantity + Minimum queuing vehicle quantity + Average queuing vehicle quantity * (ROUND(Statistical time period / Queuing vehicle quantity update period, 0) - 2)) / ROUND(Statistical time period / Queuing vehicle quantity update period, 0), 0).

[0117] For example, assume that the statistical time period, i.e., the battery replacement time period, is 3 minutes, the queuing vehicle quantity update period is 30 seconds, and the queuing quantity = ROUND((Maximum queuing vehicle quantity + Minimum queuing vehicle quantity + Average queuing vehicle quantity * 4) / 6, 0).

[0118] In the above embodiments, by comprehensively considering the maximum number of queuing vehicles, the minimum number of queuing vehicles, and the average number of queuing vehicles to determine the current queuing number of the target swapping station, the data reliability and accuracy can be improved. Moreover, by further accurately estimating the queuing number through the three-point calculation method, the calculation error can be effectively reduced, thereby improving the data reliability and accuracy.

[0119] Step 105: Verify the determined queuing number.

[0120] In this step, obtain the queuing number recognized from the environmental image of the vehicle queuing area of the swapping station, and use the queuing number obtained by image recognition to verify the queuing number determined by positioning.

[0121] Verify the queuing number recognized according to the vehicle screening range and vehicle information through the queuing number recognized from the environmental image, thereby further improving the data accuracy.

[0122] As another embodiment, the queuing number obtained by manual statistics can also be used to verify the queuing number, thereby further improving the data accuracy and further selecting which data to use.

[0123] Step 106: Recommend a swapping station according to the verified queuing number.

[0124] In this step, upload the determined queuing number to the cloud so that when the cloud receives a swapping station search request, it recommends a swapping station according to the queuing numbers reported by each swapping station.

[0125] The queuing number determined by positioning can be used to recommend a swapping station to the user, so that the queuing user or the user waiting for battery swapping can conveniently select a swapping station with a smaller queuing number, thereby saving the user's time and improving the battery swapping efficiency.

[0126] In this embodiment, the battery swapping waiting time can also be determined according to the recognized queuing number, and the queuing number and / or the battery swapping waiting time are output to the display terminal or the user terminal of the swapping station.

[0127] The queuing user can select a suitable swapping station for battery swapping through the battery swapping waiting time and the queuing number, thereby improving the user experience.

[0128] In an implementable manner, when this method is applied to a swapping station, the swapping station can upload the recognized queuing number of the swapping station to the cloud according to a time period for the cloud to recommend a swapping station to the driving user according to the queuing number of the swapping station when needed. When the recognized queuing number of the swapping station changes, the swapping station can upload the new queuing number to the cloud for the cloud to recommend a swapping station to the driving user according to the queuing number of the swapping station when needed.

[0129] The method for identifying the number of battery - swapping queuing vehicles provided in this embodiment realizes the automatic identification of queuing vehicles by automatically obtaining the queuing vehicle screening range of the target battery - swapping station and the vehicle position information of electric vehicles. Based on the relationship between the vehicle position information and the queuing vehicle screening range as the identification basis, it can further determine the queuing number based on the identified queuing vehicles, and further verify the accuracy of the queuing number. At the same time, it can also recommend a suitable battery - swapping station to users based on the queuing number, reducing the workload of the staff in the battery - swapping station and improving the identification efficiency.

[0130] To overcome the above - mentioned defects currently existing, a system for identifying the number of battery - swapping queuing vehicles is also provided, including: an information acquisition module configured to acquire the queuing vehicle screening range of the target battery - swapping station and also configured to acquire the vehicle information of electric vehicles; a queuing vehicle identification module configured to identify an electric vehicle as a queuing vehicle of the target battery - swapping station when it is determined according to the vehicle information that the electric vehicle is within the queuing vehicle screening range and meets the battery - swapping conditions; a queuing number determination module configured to determine the queuing number according to the identified queuing vehicles.

[0131] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, as another embodiment, the system for identifying the number of battery - swapping queuing vehicles provided in this embodiment mainly includes an information acquisition module 21, a queuing vehicle identification module 22, a queuing number determination module 23, a queuing number verification module 24, and a battery - swapping station recommendation module 25. This system utilizes the method for identifying the number of battery - swapping queuing vehicles as described above.

[0132] The information acquisition module 21 is configured to acquire the queuing vehicle screening range of the target battery - swapping station.

[0133] First, determine the target battery - swapping station in the navigation map, and then acquire the queuing vehicle screening range of the target battery - swapping station. Among them, the queuing vehicle screening range of the target battery - swapping station is the range for screening the queuing vehicles of the target battery - swapping station. In theory, only those within the queuing vehicle screening range will be identified as queuing vehicles of the target battery - swapping station.

[0134] Specifically, as an embodiment, the information acquisition module 21 is configured to set a virtual fence in the navigation map according to the position of the target battery - swapping station, and use the coverage range of the virtual fence as the queuing vehicle screening range of the target battery - swapping station.

[0135] By setting the virtual fence to determine the queuing vehicle screening range, the regional range can be effectively screened, improving the accuracy of identifying queuing vehicles.

[0136] As another embodiment, the information acquisition module 21 is configured to acquire an area where the distance from the target battery swapping station is less than or equal to a preset distance as the queuing vehicle screening range of the target battery swapping station. This distance can be a straight-line distance or a navigation route distance, and corresponding selection can be made according to actual needs.

[0137] By setting the preset distance area, the queuing vehicle screening range is determined, thus effectively screening out the area range and improving the accuracy of identifying queuing vehicles.

[0138] The information acquisition module 21 is further configured to acquire vehicle information of the vehicle.

[0140] As another embodiment, the information acquisition module 21 is further configured to acquire the vehicle information of the electric vehicle from a third-party cloud. The vehicle information in the third-party cloud is sourced from the in-vehicle embedded system of the electric vehicle.

[0141] The vehicle information can be conveniently and quickly acquired through the in-vehicle embedded system or the third-party cloud, thus ensuring the accuracy and security of vehicle data.

[0142] As a preferred embodiment, the vehicle information of the electric vehicle at least includes vehicle position, driving speed, and remaining battery power of the vehicle. However, the type of vehicle information is not specifically limited in this embodiment, and corresponding selection and adjustment can be made according to actual needs.

[0143] The queuing vehicle identification module 22 is configured to identify a vehicle that is located within the queuing vehicle screening range and meets the battery swapping conditions based on the vehicle information as a queuing vehicle.

[0144] As an embodiment, the queuing vehicle identification module 22 is configured to identify an electric vehicle as a queuing vehicle for the target battery swapping station when the vehicle position is within the queuing vehicle screening range and the driving speed is lower than a preset speed.

[0145] Specifically, when the collected vehicle GPS position is within the virtual fence or the distance from the center of the target battery swapping station is less than or equal to a preset distance (for example, preferably 50 m), it is determined whether the driving speed of the vehicle is lower than a preset speed (for example, preferably 5 km / h). If so, the vehicle can be identified as being in a queuing state currently. If not, the vehicle can be identified as a vehicle passing by the target battery swapping station.

[0146] Taking the driving speed of the vehicle as a battery swapping condition to intelligently identify queuing vehicles, thus improving the accuracy of vehicle identification.

[0147] As a preferred embodiment, the queuing vehicle recognition module 22 is configured to recognize an electric vehicle as a queuing vehicle for the target battery swapping station when the vehicle position is within the queuing vehicle screening range, the driving speed is lower than a preset speed, and the remaining battery power of the vehicle is lower than a preset power.

[0148] Specifically, on the basis of determining the driving speed, it is also determined whether the remaining battery power of the vehicle is lower than the preset power (for example, preferably 70%). If so, the vehicle can be recognized as a queuing vehicle that needs battery swapping. If not, the vehicle can be recognized as a vehicle that has completed battery swapping or other special situations.

[0149] Taking the driving speed and the remaining battery power of the vehicle as battery swapping conditions to intelligently identify queuing vehicles makes the battery swapping conditions more comprehensive, thereby further improving the accuracy of vehicle identification.

[0150] The queuing quantity determination module 23 is configured to determine the queuing quantity of the target battery swapping station according to the recognized queuing vehicles.

[0151] Specifically, the queuing quantity determination module 23 is configured to determine the maximum queuing vehicle quantity, the minimum queuing vehicle quantity, and the average queuing vehicle quantity of the target battery swapping station within the statistical time period according to the recognition time of the queuing vehicle quantity, and determine the current queuing quantity of the target battery swapping station according to the queuing quantity update period, the maximum queuing vehicle quantity, the minimum queuing vehicle quantity, and the average queuing vehicle quantity of the target battery swapping station.

[0152] Specifically, the target battery swapping station or the cloud can update the queuing vehicle quantity of the target battery swapping station according to the queuing vehicle quantity update period, and there is a corresponding recognition time for each queuing vehicle quantity. In this way, the maximum queuing vehicle quantity, the minimum queuing vehicle quantity, and the average queuing vehicle quantity of the target battery swapping station within the statistical time period can be determined according to the recognition time of the queuing vehicle quantity, and then the current queuing quantity of the target battery swapping station can be determined according to the queuing quantity update period, the maximum queuing vehicle quantity, the minimum queuing vehicle quantity, and the average queuing vehicle quantity of the target battery swapping station.

[0153] Among them, the statistical time period can be the battery swapping time period.

[0154] In an implementable manner, the queuing quantity determination module 23 is configured to determine the current queuing quantity of the target battery swapping station according to the following formula:

[0155] Queuing quantity = ROUND((Maximum queuing vehicle quantity + Minimum queuing vehicle quantity + Average queuing vehicle quantity * (ROUND(Statistical time period / Queuing vehicle quantity update period, 0) - 2)) / ROUND(Statistical time period / Queuing vehicle quantity update period, 0), 0).

[0156] For example, assume that the statistical time period, i.e., the battery swapping time period, is 3 minutes, and the update period of the number of queuing vehicles is 30 seconds. The queuing quantity = ROUND((the maximum number of queuing vehicles + the minimum number of queuing vehicles + the average number of queuing vehicles * 4) / 6, 0).

[0157] In the above embodiment, by comprehensively considering the maximum number of queuing vehicles, the minimum number of queuing vehicles, and the average number of queuing vehicles to determine the current queuing quantity of the target battery swapping station, the data reliability and accuracy can be improved. Moreover, by further accurately estimating the queuing quantity through the three-point method calculation method, the calculation error can be effectively reduced, thereby improving the data reliability and accuracy.

[0158] The queuing quantity verification module 24 is configured to obtain the queuing quantity recognized according to the environmental image of the vehicle queuing area of the battery swapping station, and use the queuing quantity obtained by image recognition to verify the queuing quantity determined by positioning.

[0159] Verifying the queuing quantity recognized according to the vehicle screening range and vehicle information through the queuing quantity recognized from the environmental image further improves the data accuracy.

[0160] As another embodiment, the queuing quantity obtained through manual statistics can also be used to verify the queuing quantity, thereby further improving the data accuracy and further selecting which data to use.

[0161] The battery swapping station recommendation module 25 is configured to receive the determined queuing quantity and recommend a battery swapping station according to the queuing quantity reported by each battery swapping station when receiving a battery swapping station search request.

[0162] The queuing quantity determined by positioning can be used to recommend a battery swapping station to users, so that queuing users or users waiting for battery swapping can conveniently select a battery swapping station with a smaller queuing quantity, thereby saving user time and improving the battery swapping efficiency.

[0163] In this embodiment, the battery swapping waiting time can also be determined according to the recognized queuing quantity, and the queuing quantity and / or the battery swapping waiting time are output to the display terminal or user terminal of the battery swapping station.

[0164] Queuing users can select a suitable battery swapping station for battery swapping based on the battery swapping waiting time and the queuing quantity, thereby improving the user experience.

[0165] In an implementable manner, when the system is applied to a battery swapping station, the battery swapping station can upload the identified queuing quantity of the battery swapping station to the cloud according to a time period, so that the cloud can recommend a battery swapping station to the driving user according to the queuing quantity of the battery swapping station when needed. When the identified queuing quantity of the battery swapping station changes, the battery swapping station can upload the new queuing quantity to the cloud, so that the cloud can recommend a battery swapping station to the driving user according to the queuing quantity of the battery swapping station when needed.

[0166] The system for identifying the quantity of queuing battery swapping vehicles provided in this embodiment realizes the automatic identification of queuing vehicles by automatically obtaining the screening range of queuing vehicles at the target battery swapping station and the vehicle position information of electric vehicles, and using the relationship between the vehicle position information and the screening range of queuing vehicles as the identification basis. Furthermore, it can determine the queuing quantity based on the identified queuing vehicles, further verify the accuracy of the queuing quantity, and also recommend a suitable battery swapping station to the user based on the queuing quantity, reducing the workload of the staff at the battery swapping station and improving the identification efficiency.
