[0002] With the development of automotive technology, more and more people are using hybrid vehicles. For hybrid vehicles that are not equipped with a traditional starter motor and do not have external charging capabilities, the battery level rarely falls below the normal limit during normal operation. However, vehicles that have been parked for a long time and have severe self-discharge, or vehicles in the development stage, are prone to serious battery depletion. When a serious battery depletion occurs, the only solution is to remove and replace the battery, which reduces the efficiency of vehicle charging and increases the cost of charging. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The circumferential device is connected to the output end of the rotary drive; the control subsystem is connected to the lifting device, the pump wheel arm, and the rotary drive respectively;

[0006] The control subsystem is used to control the lifting device to lift the vehicle to be charged in response to a vehicle lifting command;

[0007] The control subsystem is used to control the pump wheel arm to drive the rotary drive component to move according to the tire position of the target tire of the vehicle to be charged;

[0010] Optionally, the pump wheel arm includes a lateral adjusting arm and a longitudinal adjusting arm; the lateral adjusting arm and the longitudinal adjusting arm are connected; the rotary drive is connected to the lateral adjusting arm.

[0011] Optionally, the control subsystem is specifically used for:

[0012] Determine whether the vehicle to be charged is in a high-voltage energized state and a driveable state;

[0013] If so, the rotation drive is controlled to rotate in response to the tire rotation command, so that the circumferential device rotates the target tire.

[0014] Optionally, the control subsystem is specifically used for:

[0015] The rotational drive is controlled to perform the rotational operation so that the rotational speed of the target tire is higher than the speed threshold associated with the vehicle coasting energy recovery function of the vehicle to be charged for a target time; wherein the target time is determined based on the target battery level of the vehicle to be charged.

[0016] Optionally, the control subsystem is specifically used for:

[0017] Determine whether the tire rotation alarm function is activated on the vehicle to be charged;

[0018] If so, then the target tires are determined to be all the tires of the vehicle to be charged;

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0031] Example

[0032] This invention provides a vehicle power replenishment system, which includes: a lifting device, a support member, a pump wheel arm, a rotary drive member, a circumferential device, and a control subsystem; wherein the pump wheel arm and the lifting device are respectively disposed on the support member.

[0033] Figure 1 This is a top view of a partial structure of a vehicle charging system provided in an embodiment of the present invention. See also... Figure 1 The pump wheel arm 20 and the lifting device 30 are respectively mounted on the support member 10. As shown in the figure, for a vehicle to be charged, there can be four sets of the corresponding lifting device 30, support member 10 and pump wheel arm 20, corresponding to each tire of the vehicle.

[0034] The support member 10 can be a column. The pump wheel arm 20 and the lifting device 30 can be connected to the support member 10 via slide rails or other means, and can rotate around the support member 10. When the pump wheel arm 20 or the lifting device 30 is in an idle state, it can be rotated to a specific position for storage, which reduces the space occupied by the equipment while allowing for flexible movement.

[0035] The rotary drive 40 is connected to the output end of the pump wheel arm 20.

[0036] The circumferential device (not shown in the figure) is connected to the output end of the rotary drive 40; the control subsystem is connected to the lifting device 30, the pump wheel arm 20 and the rotary drive 40 respectively;

[0037] A control subsystem (not shown in the figure) is used to control the lifting device 30 to lift the vehicle to be recharged in response to a vehicle lifting command; wherein the vehicle to be recharged can be a hybrid vehicle whose battery power is so low that it cannot start the engine to charge the power battery. The vehicle lifting command can be issued manually or automatically by the vehicle charging system after detecting the vehicle's position relative to the lifting device 30; this embodiment does not impose any limitations on this. The lifting device 30 can be located under the vehicle, and the vehicle is lifted by simultaneously lifting the underside of the vehicle on the inside of all four tires.

[0038] The control subsystem controls the pump wheel arm 20 to drive the rotary drive component 40 to move according to the tire position of the target tire of the vehicle to be charged; wherein, the target tire is the tire whose speed needs to be adjusted, and it can be all tires, which is not limited in this embodiment. The rotary drive component 40 located on the pump wheel arm 20 can be moved according to the position of the target tire, so that the circumferential device on each rotary drive component 40 corresponds to the target tire.

[0039] The control subsystem responds to a tire clamping command by controlling the rotary drive 40 to drive the clamping device to clamp the target tire. The vehicle lifting command can be issued manually or automatically by the vehicle's power supply system after detecting that the vehicle has been lifted to a preset height above the ground; this embodiment does not impose any limitations on this. The clamping device can be a disc-shaped gripper. Controlling the rotary drive 40 to drive the clamping device to clamp the target tire can also clamp the entire tire portion; this embodiment does not impose any limitations on this either.

[0040] The control subsystem responds to a tire rotation command by controlling the rotation drive 40 to rotate, ensuring the target tire's rotational speed meets a preset speed condition. The vehicle lifting command can be issued manually or automatically by the vehicle's power supply system after detecting that the vehicle has successfully clamped the target tire; this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0041] In this embodiment, optionally, the pump wheel arm 20 includes a lateral adjusting arm 21 and a longitudinal adjusting arm 22; the lateral adjusting arm 21 and the longitudinal adjusting arm 22 are connected; the rotary drive 40 is connected to the lateral adjusting arm 21.

[0042] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a pump wheel arm 20 provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The pump wheel arm 20 includes a lateral adjusting arm 21 and a longitudinal adjusting arm 22; the lateral adjusting arm 21 and the longitudinal adjusting arm 22 are connected; a rotary drive member 40 is connected to the lateral adjusting arm 21.

[0043] The rotary drive 40 can be disposed in a slot in the slide rail of the transverse adjusting arm 21, so that the rotary drive 40 can slide on the transverse adjusting arm 21. The transverse adjusting arm 21 can move up and down on the longitudinal adjusting arm 22.

[0044] This expands the movable range of the rotary drive 40 within the pump wheel arm 20, improving the accuracy of the rotary drive 40 in moving to the target tire position of the vehicle to be charged.

[0045] In this embodiment, optionally, the control subsystem is specifically used for:

[0046] Determine whether the vehicle to be charged is in a high-voltage energized and drivable state.

[0047] If so, the rotation drive 40 is controlled to rotate in response to the tire rotation command, so that the circumferential device rotates the target tire.

[0048] Determining whether the vehicle is in a drivable state can be done by checking if the vehicle is in drive. If the vehicle to be recharged is in a high-voltage energized and drivable state, the rotation drive 40 is controlled to rotate in response to the tire rotation command, causing the circumferential device to rotate the target tire. Determining whether the vehicle is in a high-voltage energized state ensures it is in a working state, preventing ineffective tire rotation due to a non-working state and wasting resources. This allows the tire's kinetic energy to be converted into electrical energy from the vehicle's battery, improving the effectiveness of tire rotation. Determining whether the vehicle's tires are drivable also prevents tire damage during rotation, improving the safety of tire rotation.

[0049] In this embodiment, optionally, the control subsystem is specifically used for:

[0050] The rotary drive 40 is controlled to rotate so that the rotational speed of the target tire is higher than the speed threshold associated with the vehicle coasting energy recovery function of the vehicle to be charged within a target time; wherein the target time is determined based on the target battery capacity of the vehicle to be charged.

[0051] The rotary drive 40 is controlled to rotate, causing the target tire to rotate at a speed higher than the speed threshold associated with the vehicle's coasting energy recovery function for a target time. The duration of tire rotation is determined based on the target battery level of the vehicle to be charged. The target battery level can be any battery level sufficient for the vehicle to operate normally; this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this. The speed threshold associated with the vehicle's coasting energy recovery function is the wheel speed required to maintain this function, preventing the tire from rotating below this threshold and causing the coasting energy recovery to reset, thus improving the effectiveness of the charging process.

[0052] In this embodiment, optionally, the control subsystem is specifically used for:

[0053] Determine if the tire spin warning function is activated on the vehicle to be charged.

[0054] If so, then the target tires are determined to be all the tires of the vehicle to be charged;

[0055] If not, then the target tire is determined to be the drive wheel tire of the vehicle to be charged.

[0056] The tire rotation warning function automatically issues an alarm when the drive wheels rotate while the driven wheels do not, preventing accidents caused by this situation while the vehicle is in motion. If the vehicle to be charged activates the tire rotation warning function, all tires of the vehicle must be identified as the target tires; rotating only the drive wheels would trigger the warning, hindering the charging process and improving charging efficiency. If the vehicle to be charged does not activate the tire rotation warning function, the target tires can be the drive wheels, avoiding the rotation of irrelevant tires and minimizing energy loss during charging.

[0057] In this embodiment, optionally, the pump wheel arm 20 is connected to the support member 10 via a telescopic device.

[0058] The pump wheel arm 20 can move away from and closer to the support member 10 through the telescopic device, changing the distance between the pump wheel arm 20 and the support member 10, thereby improving the flexibility of the pump wheel arm 20's movement, thus expanding the movable range of the rotary drive member 40, and improving the accuracy of the rotary drive member 40 in moving to the target tire position of the vehicle to be charged.

[0059] In this embodiment, optionally, the embracing device is specifically used for:

[0060] The wheel hub that clamps the target tire in response to a tire clamping command.

[0061] The circumferential clamping device holds the target tire at the wheel hub, reducing the clamping range and the size of the circumferential clamping device, thereby reducing the device cost.

[0062] In this embodiment, the rotary drive 40 may optionally be a hydraulic motor or a speed-regulating motor.

[0063] In this embodiment, optionally, the lifting device 30 is an electric chain lifting device 30.

[0064] The technical solution provided in this embodiment controls the rotation of the rotary drive component 40, causing the corresponding rotation of the clamping device connected to the output end of the rotary drive component 40, thereby driving the tire clamped by the clamping device to rotate. When the rotational speed of the target tire meets the preset speed condition, the coasting energy recovery function of the vehicle to be charged can be triggered, allowing the vehicle motor to convert the kinetic energy of the wheel into electrical energy to charge the power battery, achieving the effect of vehicle charging. This solves the problem that for hybrid vehicles without a traditional starter motor and without external charging function, when the hybrid power is severely depleted, the only way to charge the vehicle is to remove the battery and replace it with a new one, which reduces the efficiency of vehicle charging and increases the cost of vehicle charging. It achieves the beneficial effects of improving the efficiency of vehicle charging and reducing the cost of vehicle charging.

For example, the steps described in this invention can be executed in parallel, sequentially, or in different orders, as long as the desired result of the technical solution of this invention can be achieved, and this is not limited herein.

[0066] The specific embodiments described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations, and substitutions can be made according to design requirements and other factors. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this invention should be included within the scope of protection of this invention.
