[0047] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only parts related to the present invention, rather than all structures, are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0048] Embodiment 1

[0049] This embodiment proposes a method for controlling the opening and closing of a station, which is applicable to the opening and closing control of a station for a battery swapping station. The method can be implemented by software and executed by a station control system. Figure 1 is a flow chart of the opening and closing station control method in the embodiment, refer to Figure 1 , the method specifically comprises:

[0050] S101. When receiving a power swap station initialization control instruction, a first type of circuit breaker closing control instruction is generated, and the first type of circuit breaker is controlled to close by the first type of circuit breaker closing control instruction.

[0051] Illustratively, in this embodiment, the battery swap station may include a battery swap station control system, a battery swap station circuit breaker, and battery swap station equipment.

[0052] The battery swap station control system is connected to the battery swap station circuit breaker and the battery swap station equipment respectively, and the power supply is connected to the battery swap station equipment through the battery swap station circuit breaker.

[0053] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the battery swap station equipment includes all electrical equipment in the battery swap station, such as basic electrical equipment such as lighting equipment, and electrical equipment such as the battery swap RGV (Rail Guided Vehicle) used to directly perform battery swap operations.

[0054] In this embodiment, the battery swap station circuit breakers are specifically divided into first-class circuit breakers and second-class circuit breakers. The battery swap station equipment connected to the first-class circuit breakers is classified as first-class battery swap station equipment, and the battery swap station equipment connected to the second-class circuit breakers is classified as second-class battery swap station equipment.

[0055] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the first type of battery swap station equipment is used to refer to low-power consumption power equipment used to maintain the operation of the battery swap station, wherein the first type of battery swap station equipment does not include power equipment used to directly perform battery swap operations;

[0056] The second type of battery swap station equipment refers to power-consuming equipment used to improve the user experience of the battery swap station, high-power basic power-consuming equipment, and power-consuming equipment used to directly perform battery swap operations.

[0057] In this embodiment, the battery swap station control system receives the battery swap station initialization control instruction. After receiving the battery swap station initialization control instruction, the battery swap station control system performs system initialization according to a set program;

[0058] After the battery swap station control system completes system initialization, it generates a first-type circuit breaker closing control instruction, controls the closing of the first-type circuit breaker through the first-type circuit breaker closing control instruction, and then starts the operation of the first-type battery swap station equipment.

[0059] S102. When a battery swap order is received, a battery swap station circuit breaker closing control instruction is generated, and the battery swap station circuit breaker closing control instruction is used to control the battery swap station circuit breaker closing.

[0060] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the battery swap station circuit breaker closing control instruction is used to control the closing of all battery swap station circuit breakers (including first type circuit breakers and second type circuit breakers).

[0061] Illustratively, in this embodiment, when the battery swap station control system receives a battery swap order, the battery swap station circuit breaker closing control instruction is used to make the first type of circuit breaker and the second type of circuit breaker both in the closed state. At this time, all electrical equipment in the battery swap station starts working, and the battery swap station can perform normal battery swap operations.

[0062] S103. When there is no battery replacement order, a second type of circuit breaker disconnection control instruction is generated, and the second type of circuit breaker is controlled to be disconnected through the second type of circuit breaker disconnection control instruction.

[0063] Illustratively, in this embodiment, when the battery swap station control system determines that there is no battery swap order, it controls the second type of circuit breaker to disconnect. At this time, the second type of battery swap station equipment stops working, and the first type of battery swap station equipment maintains working status.

[0064] S104. Determine whether a station closing instruction is received. When a station closing instruction is received, generate a station circuit breaker disconnection control instruction, and control the station circuit breaker to disconnect through the station circuit breaker disconnection control instruction.

[0065] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the battery swap station circuit breaker disconnection control instruction is used to control the disconnection of all battery swap station circuit breakers.

[0066] Illustratively, in this embodiment, when the battery swap station control system receives a station closing instruction, it uses the battery swap station circuit breaker disconnection control instruction to make both the first type of circuit breaker and the second type of circuit breaker in the disconnected state. At this time, all electrical equipment in the battery swap station stops working and the battery swap station is closed.

[0067] In combination with steps S102 to S104, in this embodiment, after the battery swap station control system completes system initialization and before the battery swap station closes, it cyclically determines whether there is a battery swap order. When the existence of a battery swap order changes to the absence of a battery swap order, or when the absence of a battery swap order changes to the existence of a battery swap order, the battery swap station control system controls the corresponding battery swap station circuit breaker to operate, thereby realizing the start and stop control of the corresponding power-using equipment.

[0068] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, when there is a continuous power replacement order, if the second type of circuit breaker is already in a closed state, the second type of circuit breaker maintains the closed state;

[0069] When the existence of a battery swap order changes to the absence of a battery swap order, the battery swap control system controls the second type of circuit breaker to disconnect.

[0070] When there is no power replacement order, if the second type of circuit breaker is already in the disconnected state, the second type of circuit breaker remains in the disconnected state;

[0071] When there is a battery swap order instead of no battery swap order, the battery swap control system controls the second type of circuit breaker to close.

[0072] This embodiment proposes a station opening and closing control method. When a battery swap station initialization control instruction is received, a first-class circuit breaker closing control instruction is generated to control the first-class battery swap station equipment to start working. When a battery swap order is received, a battery swap station circuit breaker closing control instruction is generated to control the first-class battery swap station equipment and the second-class battery swap station equipment to start working. When there is no battery swap order, a second-class circuit breaker disconnection control instruction is generated to control the second-class battery swap station equipment to stop. When a station closing instruction is received, a battery swap station circuit breaker disconnection control instruction is generated to control the first-class battery swap station equipment and the second-class battery swap station equipment to stop working. This method realizes unified control of the battery swap station equipment by controlling the first-class circuit breaker and the second-class circuit breaker. When the battery swap station is operating, the first-class circuit breaker or the second-class circuit breaker is uniformly controlled according to the battery swap order, thereby realizing that the battery swap station can minimize energy consumption.

[0073] Figure 2 is another flow chart of the control method for opening and closing stations in the embodiment, refer to Figure 2 As an implementable solution, the control method can also be:

[0074] S201. When receiving a battery swap station initialization control instruction, control the battery swap station to be placed in initialization mode.

[0075] For example, in Figure 1 On the basis of the scheme shown, in this scheme, four different modes are set for the battery swap station: initialization mode, opening mode, sleep mode, and closing mode.

[0076] In this solution, when the battery swap station control system receives the battery swap station initialization control instruction, the battery swap station is in the initialization mode, and the battery swap station control system performs system initialization according to the set program;

[0077] After the system initialization is completed, the power swap station control system determines whether there is a fault in the power swap station equipment. If there is no fault in the power swap station equipment, a first-type circuit breaker closing control instruction is generated, and the first-type circuit breaker is controlled to close through the first-type circuit breaker closing control instruction;

[0078] If there is a fault in the battery swap station equipment, a battery swap station circuit breaker disconnection control instruction is generated, and the battery swap station circuit breaker disconnection control instruction is used to control the battery swap station circuit breaker to disconnect.

[0079] Exemplarily, in this solution, when the battery swap station is in the initialization mode, the battery swap station control system determines whether there is a faulty battery swap station equipment including a control power-consuming device (such as a PLC) or a power supply device (such as a UPS power supply) connected to the battery swap station control system;

[0080] The above-mentioned power-consuming equipment or power supply equipment is configured with a self-test program, and the battery swap station control system determines whether the corresponding equipment has a fault based on the received self-test message.

[0081] In one possible implementation scheme, after completing system initialization, the battery swap station control system determines whether there is an available battery pack. If there is an available battery pack in the battery swap station, a first type of circuit breaker closing control instruction is generated, otherwise a battery swap station circuit breaker opening control instruction is generated.

[0082] Exemplarily, in this solution, available battery packs include fully charged battery packs and partially charged battery packs, and the battery swap station control system can determine whether there are available battery packs based on the message sent by the battery swap station charging system.

[0083] Exemplarily, in one possible implementation, after completing system initialization, the battery swap station control system can determine whether there is a fault in the battery swap station equipment and whether there is an available battery pack;

[0084] When there is no faulty battery swap station equipment and there are available battery packs, a first type of circuit breaker closing control instruction is generated, otherwise a battery swap station circuit breaker opening control instruction is generated.

[0085] In one possible implementation scheme, after completing system initialization, the battery swap station control system may also generate a battery swap station equipment preheating control instruction, and the battery swap station equipment preheating control instruction is used to control the preheating of the battery swap station equipment.

[0086] Exemplarily, in this solution, the preheating control instruction of the battery swap station equipment can be used to control the preheating of corresponding components in the power-consuming equipment, the power supply equipment, the first type of battery swap station equipment, and the second type of battery swap station equipment;

[0087] When the above-mentioned corresponding equipment is started normally and receives the preheating control instruction of the battery swap station equipment, the preheating of the corresponding components can be completed according to the preset program in the equipment itself.

[0088] S202. When a battery swap order is received, control the battery swap station to be in the start-up mode.

[0089] Exemplarily, in this solution, when the battery swap station control system receives a battery swap order, a battery swap station circuit breaker closing control instruction is generated, and the battery swap station circuit breaker closing control instruction is used to control the battery swap station circuit breaker closing;

[0090] When both the first type circuit breaker and the second type circuit breaker are closed, the battery swap station is placed in the open station mode.

[0091] Exemplarily, in this scheme, when the battery swap station is in initialization mode and the battery swap station control system controls the first type of circuit breaker to close, if there is a battery swap order, the second type of circuit breaker is controlled to close. At this time, the battery swap station is set to switch from initialization mode to start-up mode.

[0092] S203. When there is no battery replacement order, control the battery replacement station to be placed in sleep mode.

[0093] Exemplarily, in this solution, when there is no battery replacement order, a second type of circuit breaker disconnection control instruction is generated, and the second type of circuit breaker disconnection control instruction is used to control the second type of circuit breaker to disconnect;

[0094] When the first type of circuit breaker is closed and the second type of circuit breaker is open, the battery swap station is placed in a sleep mode.

[0095] Exemplarily, in this scheme, when the battery swap station is in initialization mode and the battery swap station control system controls the first type of circuit breaker to close, if it is determined that there is no battery swap order, the second type of circuit breaker remains open. At this time, the battery swap station is set to switch from initialization mode to sleep mode.

[0096] S204. When a station closing instruction is received, the battery swap station is controlled to be placed in a station closing mode.

[0097] Exemplarily, in this solution, when a station closing instruction is received, the power swap station control system generates a power swap station circuit breaker disconnection control instruction, and controls the power swap station circuit breaker to disconnect through the power swap station circuit breaker disconnection control instruction;

[0098] When both the first type circuit breaker and the second type circuit breaker are disconnected, the battery swap station is placed in the closed station mode.

[0099] In combination with step S202 to step S204, in this solution, when the battery swap station is in the initialization mode and the system initialization is completed, if the battery swap station control system generates a battery swap station circuit breaker disconnection control instruction, the first type of circuit breaker and the second type of circuit breaker remain in the disconnected state, then the battery swap station is set to switch from the initialization mode to the closed station mode;

[0100] When the battery swap station is in the start-up mode, if the second type of circuit breaker is disconnected under control, the battery swap station is set to switch from the start-up mode to the sleep mode;

[0101] When the battery swap station is placed in sleep mode, if the second type of circuit breaker is controlled to close, the battery swap station is set to switch from sleep mode to start mode;

[0102] When the battery swap station is in the open mode, if the first type circuit breaker and the second type circuit breaker are controlled to be disconnected, the battery swap station is set to switch from the open mode to the closed mode;

[0103] When the battery swap station is placed in sleep mode, if the first type of circuit breaker and the second type of circuit breaker are controlled to be disconnected, the battery swap station is set to switch from sleep mode to closed mode.

[0104] For example, in one possible implementation, when the following circumstances exist, the battery swap station switches from the open station mode to the closed station mode:

[0105] When in the opening mode, the battery swap station control system determines whether there is an irreversible fault in the battery swap station equipment. If there is an irreversible fault in the battery swap station equipment, the first type of circuit breaker and the second type of circuit breaker are controlled to disconnect, and the opening mode is switched to the closing mode.

[0106] Exemplarily, in this solution, the battery swap station control system determines whether there is an irreversible fault in the battery swap station equipment including control power-consuming equipment, power supply equipment, first-type battery swap station equipment, and second-type battery swap station equipment equipped with a fault detection function.

[0107] Exemplarily, in this solution, an irreversible fault is set as a fault that requires human intervention to eliminate. For example, when a hardware component in a device fails, it can be considered that the device has an irreversible fault.

[0108] For example, in one possible implementation, when the following situations occur, the battery swap station switches from the sleep mode to the closed mode:

[0109] When in the sleep mode, the control system of the battery swap station determines whether there is an irreversible fault in the equipment of the battery swap station. If there is an irreversible fault in the equipment of the battery swap station, the first type of circuit breaker and the second type of circuit breaker are controlled to be disconnected, and the sleep mode is switched to the closed station mode;

[0110] The battery swap station control system determines whether the duration without battery swap orders exceeds the set duration. If it exceeds the set duration, the first type of circuit breaker and the second type of circuit breaker are disconnected under control, and the sleep mode is switched to the closed station mode.

[0111] Exemplarily, in one possible implementation, when a mode switch occurs at a battery swap station, the battery swap station control system may also generate and report battery swap station mode information.

[0112] For example, when the battery swap station switches from the initialization mode or the sleep mode to the start-up mode, the battery swap station control system generates and reports the battery swap station start-up information;

[0113] When the battery swap station switches from the initialization mode or the sleep mode to the closed mode, the battery swap station control system generates and reports the battery swap station closed information.

[0114] Exemplarily, in one possible implementation, the battery swap station control system can be configured to communicate with the cloud platform, the cloud platform can be configured to send a battery swap order to the battery swap station control system, and the battery swap station control system can be configured to report battery swap station mode information to the cloud platform.

[0115] exist Figure 1On the basis of the beneficial effects of the scheme shown, in this scheme, the battery swap station is divided into four different modes: initialization mode, opening mode, sleep mode, and closing mode. By controlling the first type of circuit breakers and the second type of circuit breakers, direct switching between different modes can be achieved. In different modes, the battery swap station can execute different system instructions, which facilitates the hierarchical management of the battery swap station.

[0116] In one possible implementation, it can be determined whether there is a battery replacement order in the following manner:

[0117] When an actual battery swap order or a scheduled battery swap order is received, it is considered that there is a battery swap order; if the current time period is a battery swap-intensive period, it is considered that there is a battery swap order.

[0118] Exemplarily, with respect to determining whether there is a battery replacement order based on whether the time period is a battery replacement intensive period, if the estimated number of battery replacements exceeds the set number of replacements within a time interval, then the time interval can be defined as a battery replacement intensive period.

[0119] Exemplarily, in the above scheme, the battery-swapping intensive period within a day can be determined through historical battery-swapping statistical data.

[0120] Exemplarily, a set of historical battery swapping statistical data corresponds to a battery swapping station, and the historical battery swapping statistical data at least includes the battery swapping start time and battery swapping end time corresponding to each battery swapping operation performed every day.

[0121] Exemplarily, a battery swap prediction model can be generated based on historical battery swap statistics. The battery swap prediction model can be a time series model. The battery swap prediction model can be used to predict all battery swap intensive periods that may occur on the day.

[0122] Exemplarily, one hour can be set as the unit of time, and the battery swap prediction model can be configured to predict the number of battery swap operations per hour. If the number of battery swap operations within one hour is greater than the set replacement number, the time period corresponding to the hour is defined as a battery swap intensive period.
