[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0020] In this document, "plurality" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes a relationship between associated objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, or B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates an "or" relationship between the associated objects.

[0021] Figure 1 This is a scenario diagram of the remote reservation charging method provided in an embodiment of the present application. A remote control system (RCS) is installed in the charging pile, and a cluster monitoring and management system (CMMS) is running on the server. Data communication between the two is achieved through the OTA protocol. The user end is any mobile terminal or PC with network communication, which has an application installed inside that establishes data interaction with the cluster monitoring and management system, or can access the cluster monitoring and management system through a mini-program or web page. The user end can send a reservation request to the server remotely and receive feedback to complete the reservation charging.

[0022] Figure 2 This is a flow chart of the remote charging reservation method provided by the embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to Figure 1 The server and target charging pile in the example include the following steps:

[0023] Step 201: The target charging pile sends the current connection status and charging status to the server so that the server can generate a scheduled charging plan.

[0024] The target charging station will periodically send messages to the server via the OTA protocol, or after receiving a command from the server requesting its operating status, it will report messages. The message content includes the current charging status of the charging station and the status of its connection to the vehicle. This is to facilitate the server to generate a scheduled charging plan. The scheduled charging plan includes the scheduled charging time and duration at the target charging station. For example, user A's vehicle will be charged from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM.

[0025] Step 202: Receive a remote reservation instruction sent by the user terminal, and generate a reservation charging plan according to the charging status of the target charging pile.

[0026] When the server receives the remote reservation instruction sent by the user, it generates a reservation charging plan based on the reserved charging time and charging duration contained in the remote reservation instruction. The reservation charging plan will control the target charging pile to execute after the arrival time.

[0027] Step 203 : In response to detecting that the charging gun is inserted into the vehicle body within the scheduled charging time, a first status instruction is sent to the server.

[0028] When the target charging pile detects that the charging gun is inserted into the vehicle body within the reserved charging time, it indicates that the vehicle body is timely connected and ready within the reserved time, and then sends a first state instruction to the server.

[0029] In step 204, in response to receiving the first state instruction sent by the target charging pile within the reserved charging time, a charging confirmation instruction is sent to the user end to facilitate remote charging confirmation by the user end.

[0030] The first state instruction is used for the server to determine the connection state of the target charging pile, so as to send a charging confirmation instruction to the client. When the server receives the first state instruction, the connection state of the charging end is confirmed in time, and then a charging confirmation instruction is sent to the user end.

[0031] In step 205, in response to the server receiving the charging feedback of the user end to the charging confirmation instruction, a charging instruction is sent to the target charging pile.

[0032] Sending the charging confirmation instruction facilitates user confirmation, and sending feedback in the state of successful connection of the user vehicle body avoids charging errors and the like.

[0033] In step 206, in response to receiving the charging instruction issued by the server, the target charging pile is started to charge.

[0034] As described above, in the server of the present scheme, the working state of the target charging pile is obtained by receiving the remote reservation instruction sent by the user end, and a reserved charging plan is generated based on the reserved charging time and the charging duration of the target charging pile. When the target charging pile detects that the charging gun is inserted into the vehicle body within the preset charging time, it indicates that it is in a ready state, and sends a first state instruction to the server, so that the server sends a charging confirmation instruction to the user end when receiving the first state instruction, and then sends a charging instruction to the target charging pile after receiving the charging feedback. Compared with the related art, the present scheme can set a reserved charging plan for the charging pile in a remote state, and a double confirmation mode is set to ensure that the user confirms in a remote state before charging, which not only ensures the accuracy and safety of charging, but also saves the charging queuing time and improves the convenience of charging.

[0035] Figure 3 is a flowchart of the remote reservation charging method provided by the present application. The method is applied to the server and the target charging pile in Figure 1 , and specifically includes the following steps:

[0036] In step 301, a remote reservation instruction is received, and the state information and the reserved charging list of the target charging pile are obtained based on the remote reservation instruction.

[0037] When the server receives a remote reservation command from the user, it determines the ID of the selected charging station and uses this information to retrieve the station's status information and scheduled charging schedule from the database. The status information represents the current charging status of the charging station, while the scheduled charging schedule is a list of charging plans scheduled for that station in the future. The server also configures the scheduled charging schedule based on the user's needs.

[0038] Step 302: Generate a scheduled charging plan for the target charging pile based on the target charging pile number, scheduled time, and charging duration, and add the scheduled charging time to a scheduled charging list.

[0039] The scheduled charging list is organized chronologically. To ensure continuity, a gap is set between adjacent scheduled charging plans to ensure that different users have sufficient time to move their vehicles. A scheduled charging plan is generated based on the target charging station ID, scheduled time, charging duration, and user account. It is then added to the scheduled charging list in chronological order. The server executes the charging plans based on the scheduled time order in the scheduled charging list.

[0040] In step 303 , when the target charging pile does not execute the reserved charging plan, the server sends a shutdown instruction to the target charging pile to prohibit the target charging pile from charging.

[0041] If the target charging station is not executing the scheduled charging plan, the server will issue a shutdown command to prevent other users from using the target charging station and affecting the scheduled charging. In other words, if the target charging station is occupied by others during the scheduled charging time or charging interval, it will not charge.

[0042] Step 304: When the scheduled charging time corresponding to the scheduled charging plan arrives, the server sends a first confirmation instruction to the target charging pile.

[0043] Step 305: In response to receiving the first confirmation instruction sent by the server, the connection status between the charging gun and the vehicle body is obtained.

[0044] When the target charging pile receives the first confirmation instruction sent by the server, it indicates that the appointment time has arrived, and then sends the first confirmation instruction to confirm the connection status of the charging gun and the vehicle body.

[0045] Step 306: When the charging gun and the vehicle body are in a disconnected state, a feedback instruction is sent to the server.

[0046] If the charging gun and the vehicle are disconnected, it means the user has not placed the vehicle at the target charging station in time, or the socket has not been successfully connected. The target charging station needs to send a feedback command to the server in a timely manner. This feedback command instructs the server to start a charging countdown based on the scheduled charging time and charging duration, and sends a charging reminder to the user to charge as soon as possible.

[0047] Step 307, in response to receiving a feedback instruction from the target charging pile to the first confirmation instruction within the preset time, and the feedback instruction indicates that the charging gun and the vehicle body are in a disconnected state, the charging countdown is started based on the scheduled charging time and charging duration, and a charging reminder is sent to the user terminal.

[0048] The charging countdown is designed to better utilize charging pile resources. Although users set the appointment time and charging duration, remote charging may be delayed. For example, a user remotely schedules charging at 6 pm, but actually arrives at 9 pm. If the user still charges according to the specified charging duration, it may delay subsequent charging plans. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly charge according to the remaining time to ensure that subsequent charging is not affected. At the same time, the server sends charging reminders to the user to check whether the charging gun is forgotten or not inserted properly.

[0049] The preset charging time is a set time interval designed to allow time for personnel to operate equipment and park the vehicle. For example, if it is set to 10 minutes, if the charging gun is detected to be connected to the vehicle within the preset time, indicating that the user has scheduled charging in time, charging will proceed according to the preset total duration. This is why the interval between two consecutive charging schedules is set.

[0050] Step 308: When the charging gun and the vehicle body are in a connected state, a first status instruction is sent to the server.

[0051] When the vehicle does not insert the charging gun into the vehicle within the preset time, the server has started charging timing. When the vehicle actually inserts the charging gun into the vehicle body after exceeding the preset time, the target charging pile detects it through the internal circuit and promptly sends the first status instruction to the server to inform the server that charging can start.

[0052] Step 309 : In response to receiving a first status instruction sent by the target charging pile when the charging countdown has not stopped, generating a charging confirmation instruction based on the remaining charging time indicated by the charging countdown, and sending the instruction to the user terminal.

[0053] During the countdown, if the server receives the first status instruction before the charging countdown ends, it generates a charging confirmation instruction based on the remaining charging time. It should be noted that this charging confirmation instruction also needs to be sent to the user for confirmation. This is because the target charging pile is detected as plugged in during a remote reservation, and there is a possibility that it may be preempted by someone else during the reservation process. Furthermore, if the charging countdown is delayed due to user reasons, the charging confirmation instruction needs to be sent to the user for confirmation.

[0054] It should be noted that when there are many charging stations with charging tips and there is no crowded charging queue, or when a user inserts a charging tip before the scheduled charging time, the target charging station can directly send a first status instruction upon receiving the first confirmation instruction. In this case, the server confirms that the user inserted the charging tip in advance to prepare for the scheduled charging, and will not start the charging countdown. Charging will proceed according to the scheduled charging time and duration.

[0055] Step 310 : In response to the server receiving the charging feedback of the user terminal in response to the charging confirmation instruction, the server sends a charging instruction to the target charging pile.

[0056] When the server receives the charging feedback from the user, it indicates that the identity of the charger has been confirmed. At this time, the server will send the charging instruction to the target charging pile.

[0057] Step 311: In response to receiving the charging instruction sent by the server, the target charging pile is turned on for charging.

[0058] Optionally, when the server receives the end instruction sent by the target charging pile, the charging has ended at this time, but the server needs to determine the charging deadline of the target charging pile and compare it with the scheduled charging time.

[0059] When the charging deadline is consistent with the scheduled charging time or the remaining charging time, it indicates that there is no abnormality in the current charging. A charging data report is directly generated based on the charging deadline and sent to the user.

[0060] However, if the charging deadline doesn't match the scheduled charging time or the remaining charging time, the charging gun may be loose or have a circuit malfunction, causing an unexpected interruption. The server must immediately send a data call command to the target charging station to obtain charging information and send an interruption notification to the user. The interruption notification can be used as data for user complaints and information verification.

[0061] In summary, the server in this solution, upon receiving a remote reservation instruction from a user, generates a scheduled charging plan based on the target charging station's number, reservation time, and charging duration, and adds the scheduled charging plan to the target charging station's execution list. This method allows for remote scheduled charging and controls the charging station's usage status according to the scheduled time. Upon reaching the scheduled time, a command is sent to obtain the current status of the charging gun. Furthermore, to ensure the efficient use of charging station resources, if the charging gun is not inserted into the vehicle within the preset time, the server will still start a charging countdown, and charging will proceed based on the remaining time remaining after the charging gun is inserted within the scheduled time. Furthermore, to ensure that the charging station is not occupied by others, the server in this solution sends a charging confirmation instruction to the user after receiving the first status instruction to ensure charging accuracy. This dual confirmation mode ensures that the user confirms the status remotely before charging can proceed, ensuring charging accuracy and safety while also reducing waiting time and improving charging convenience.
