Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of vehicle batteries, and in particular to a method, device, electronic device and computer-readable storage medium for replacing a rechargeable battery. Background Art

[0002] Currently, in a pure electric vehicle equipped only with a storage battery, the storage battery serves as the sole power source for the vehicle drive system. In a hybrid vehicle equipped with a conventional engine (or fuel cell) and a storage battery, the storage battery can either play the role of the main power source for the vehicle drive system or act as an auxiliary power source.

[0003] Thus, it can be seen that no matter what kind of vehicle, electrical energy is inevitably used, and then the problems of charging and power supply will inevitably be involved.

[0004] In order to charge a vehicle, in the early technology, it was often necessary to drive the vehicle to a nearby charging pile, and then use equipment such as a charging gun on the charging pile to charge the vehicle. However, when using the charging method of a charging pile, it takes 1-2 hours for fast charging and about 8 hours for slow charging, which will waste a lot of time.

[0005] In order to save charging time, in the existing technology, a battery swapping station has gradually emerged. Different models of battery swapping stations can replace the battery of a corresponding model vehicle with a fully charged battery of the same model to achieve the effect of vehicle charging. For example: Tesla manufacturers can only replace the batteries of Tesla vehicles.

[0006] However, in the existing technology, the battery swapping station cannot accommodate the battery swapping of multiple vehicle models, resulting in difficulties for users to replace the battery, and further affecting the user experience.

[0052] To make the above and other features and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments given herein are for the purpose of explaining to those skilled in the art and are merely exemplary, not restrictive.

[0053] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. However, it will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that the present application does not require the use of specific details. In other cases, well-known steps or services have not been described in detail to avoid obscuring the present application.

[0054] Based on the content of the background art section, it can be known that in the prior art, the battery swapping station cannot accommodate the battery swapping of multiple vehicle models, resulting in difficulties for users to replace the battery, and further affecting the user experience.

[0055] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a method, device, electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium for replacing a rechargeable battery. The following will, with reference to the accompanying drawings, first describe in detail the method for replacing a rechargeable battery provided by the present application through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0056] As Figure 1 shown, the present application provides a method for replacing a rechargeable battery, and the method may include:

[0057] Step S11: Obtain the vehicle information recognized by the first system.

[0058] Specifically, in this application, the Central Processing Unit (CPU) can be used as the execution entity of this application. Among them, the CPU can establish a communication relationship with the first system, that is, information can be exchanged between the first system and the CPU. When the vehicle needs to perform a battery swapping operation, the first system needs to recognize the vehicle information. It should be noted that the vehicle information can include: vehicle license plate information, vehicle identification card information, vehicle manufacturer information, vehicle model information, charging battery manufacturer information, battery model, and other information; then the first system sends the recognized vehicle information to the CPU so that the CPU can obtain the above vehicle information.

[0059] To make the vehicle information recognized by the first system more accurate, in an optional embodiment, step S11 includes: controlling the imaging device to recognize the vehicle image and generate a vehicle image; obtaining the vehicle information recognized by the first controller based on the vehicle image; where the first system includes: the first controller and the imaging device.

[0060] Specifically, in this application, the first system may include a first controller and an imaging device. Among them, the first controller and the imaging device establish a communication relationship. When the vehicle needs to perform a battery swapping (replacing the battery) operation, first, the imaging device in the first system performs an all-round recognition of the vehicle to obtain a vehicle image, that is, a real-time picture of the vehicle can be obtained, and then the first controller identifies the vehicle information based on the vehicle image to obtain the vehicle information of the vehicle that needs to perform battery swapping.

[0061] Optionally, the imaging device can be a depth camera or a camera, etc.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, after obtaining the vehicle image in this application, the vehicle information can be obtained by using an image recognition algorithm. The steps of the image recognition algorithm include: information acquisition (converting the basic information of the image into information that can be recognized by the first controller through a sensor), preprocessing (performing denoising and transformation operations in image processing), feature extraction (extracting information related to vehicle information and not extracting irrelevant information), and selection, classifier design (training the above information acquisition, preprocessing, and feature extraction by using a neural network to obtain recognition rules).

[0063] Step S13: Send the vehicle information to the second system so that the second system generates a deployment instruction based on the vehicle information and matches the preset charging battery in the third system based on the deployment instruction to generate a matching result.

[0064] Specifically, in the present application, the CPU can establish communication relationships with the second system and the third system, and the second system and the third system can establish a communication relationship. After the CPU obtains the vehicle information of the battery swapping vehicle, it sends the vehicle information to the second system. The second system generates a deployment instruction based on the vehicle information and matches the preset charging batteries in the third system according to the deployment instruction to generate a matching result. That is to say, there are various types of batteries pre-stored in the third system (such as Tesla batteries, Audi batteries, etc.). Then, after the second system obtains the vehicle information, it matches among the various types of batteries according to the vehicle information to determine whether there is a battery of this vehicle type. In this way, it is possible to accurately and quickly find the battery that matches the vehicle, and the error rate is extremely low.

[0065] Step S15: When the matching result is that there is a charging battery that matches the vehicle, control the second system to replace the charging battery based on the deployment instruction.

[0066] Specifically, in the present application, when the matching result is that there is a charging battery that matches the battery swapping vehicle, the CPU can control the second system to replace the charging battery based on the deployment instruction. For example, if the battery swapping vehicle is a Tesla and there is a charging battery that matches the battery swapping vehicle in the third system, then the second system can replace the charging battery with the battery of the battery swapping vehicle.

[0067] To make the battery replacement of the vehicle more accurate, in an optional embodiment, the second system includes: a second software, a battery swapping platform, and a second controller, where

[0068] Step S13 includes: sending the vehicle information to the second software so that the second software generates a deployment instruction based on the vehicle information and matches the preset charging batteries in the third system according to the deployment instruction to generate a matching result.

[0069] Step S15 includes: when the matching result is that there is a charging battery that matches the vehicle, control the second controller to replace the charging battery on the battery swapping platform based on the deployment instruction.

[0070] Specifically, in the present application, the second system may include a second software, a battery swapping platform, and a second controller. Among them, the second software and the second controller can establish a communication relationship. After the CPU obtains the vehicle information of the vehicle, the vehicle information can be sent to the second software. The second software generates a deployment instruction according to the vehicle information, and then matches the preset charging battery in the third system according to the deployment instruction. When the matching result is that there is a charging battery that matches the vehicle, the CPU controls the second controller to replace the battery of the vehicle with the charging battery on the battery swapping platform. In the present application, the second system is divided into multiple execution controllers, and each controller has a clear division of labor, which can make the battery replacement of the battery swapping vehicle more accurate.

[0071] In an optional embodiment, the third system includes multiple charging cabinets and multiple storage cabinets. A fully charged charging battery can be placed in each storage cabinet. After taking out the fully charged charging battery in the third system, a fully charged charging battery of the same type can be found in the charging cabinet and placed in the corresponding storage cabinet, and then the battery replaced from the vehicle is placed in the charging cabinet for charging.

[0072] In order to ensure the safety of vehicle replacement, in an optional embodiment, the first system further includes a monitoring system. Among them, the method further includes: controlling the monitoring system to identify the vehicle status of the vehicle in real time.

[0073] Specifically, in the present application, the first system further includes a monitoring system. The monitoring system can establish a communication relationship with the CPU. During the process of battery swapping of the vehicle, the monitoring system monitors the vehicle in real time. If there are some potential safety hazards in the vehicle, it can give a real-time feedback, so as to ensure the safety of vehicle replacement.

[0074] In addition, the monitoring system can also establish a communication relationship with the first controller, and it can have the ability of vehicle image recognition. That is to say, the monitoring system can also identify the vehicle, and then identify the vehicle information through the first controller. By setting up the monitoring system, the vehicle information can be obtained more quickly and accurately.

[0075] Compared with the prior art, the present application sets up the first system, the second system, and the third system. By reserving multiple types of charging batteries in the third system, and then according to the vehicle information obtained by the first system, the reserved charging batteries are matched through the second system to ensure that the charging battery can charge the vehicle. It solves the technical problem in the prior art that the battery swapping station cannot take into account the battery swapping of multiple vehicle models, resulting in difficulties for users to replace the battery, and further affecting the user experience.

[0076] As Figure 2 shown, in an optional embodiment, the method further includes:

[0077] Step S21: Send the vehicle information to the fourth system so that the fourth system can identify the battery information of the vehicle based on the vehicle information; wherein, the vehicle information at least includes: vehicle license plate information, vehicle identification card information; the battery information includes: remaining battery power, remaining battery mileage, and state of charge (SOC) of the remaining battery capacity.

[0078] Step S23: Send the information of the charging battery to the fourth system; wherein, the information of the charging battery includes: charging battery manufacturer information, charging battery model information, charging battery power, charging battery mileage, and charging battery capacity.

[0079] Step S25: Control the fourth system to calculate the cost of replacing the charging battery based on the battery information of the vehicle and the information of the charging battery.

[0080] Specifically, in this application, the CPU can establish a communication relationship with the fourth system. After the first system obtains the vehicle information, the CPU can send the vehicle information to the fourth system, and then the fourth system can identify the vehicle information to obtain the battery information of the vehicle. It should be noted that the battery information includes remaining battery power, remaining battery mileage, and state of charge (SOC) of the remaining battery capacity. Moreover, after the second system completes the matching of the charging battery, the CPU can also send the information of the charging battery to the fourth system. It should be noted that the information of the charging battery includes: charging battery manufacturer information, charging battery model information, charging battery power, charging battery mileage, and charging battery capacity; after the fourth system obtains all the above information, calculate the cost required for this charging battery according to the above.

[0081] In an alternative embodiment, the fourth system includes: a fourth controller, wherein step S25 includes: controlling the fourth controller to perform an operation of partitioning the charging battery manufacturer information to obtain a first calculation result.

[0082] Control the fourth controller to perform an operation of partitioning the charging battery model information to obtain a second calculation result.

[0083] Control the fourth controller to subtract the charging battery power from the remaining battery power, subtract the charging battery mileage from the remaining battery mileage, and subtract the charging battery capacity from the remaining battery capacity to obtain a third calculation result.

[0084] Control the fourth controller to calculate the cost of replacing the charging battery based on the first calculation result, the second calculation result, and the third calculation result.

[0085] Specifically, in the present application, the fourth system includes a fourth controller. The fourth controller can establish a communication relationship with the CPU. After receiving the above vehicle information, the battery information of the vehicle, and the charging battery information, the fourth controller performs a division operation according to the charging battery manufacturer information to obtain a first calculation result, that is, to determine the cost of this part according to the charging battery manufacturer information; performs a division operation according to the charging battery model information to obtain a second calculation result, that is, to determine the cost of this part according to the charging battery model information; subtracts the charging battery power from the remaining battery power, subtracts the charging battery mileage from the remaining battery mileage, and subtracts the charging battery capacity from the remaining battery capacity to obtain a third calculation result, that is, to determine the cost required to judge the difference between the charging battery and the vehicle battery, and then calculates the total cost of replacing the charging battery according to the above multiple costs.

[0086] In an optional embodiment, while calculating the total cost, the operation of vehicle battery swapping is performed. After the battery-swapping vehicle drives into the battery-swapping platform, the vehicle shuts down and waits for the battery-swapping operation. A fully charged charging battery is called to perform an automatic battery-swapping operation. After the battery-swapping operation is completed, the instrument of the battery-swapping vehicle displays a green completion prompt color, and at the same time, two voice prompts of "Battery swapping has been completed" are issued.

[0087] To facilitate the user to view the vehicle information and the charging battery information, in an optional embodiment, the method further includes:

[0088] Controlling the first application end to display the vehicle information, the remaining battery power, the remaining battery mileage, the remaining battery capacity SOC, the cost, the charging battery power, the charging battery mileage, and the charging battery capacity; wherein, the first application end is used for the user to settle the cost.

[0089] Controlling the second application end to display the vehicle license plate information, the vehicle identification information, the charging battery manufacturer information, the charging battery model information, the charging battery power, the charging battery mileage, the charging battery capacity, and the cost; wherein, the second application end is used for receiving the cost settled by the user.

[0090] Specifically, in the present application, the fourth system includes a first application end and a second application end. Among them, the first application end and the second application end respectively establish a communication relationship with the fourth controller. It should be noted that the first application end is a client end, which can be used for users to settle expenses, and the second application end can be a manufacturer end, which can be used to receive the expenses settled by users. After the fourth controller obtains vehicle information, vehicle battery information, and charging battery information, it controls the first application end to display vehicle information, remaining battery power, remaining battery mileage, battery remaining capacity SOC, expenses, charging battery power, charging battery mileage, and charging battery capacity; it controls the second application end to display vehicle license plate information, vehicle identification information, charging battery manufacturer information, charging battery model information, charging battery power, charging battery mileage, charging battery capacity, and expenses. By setting in this way, it is more convenient for users to view charging batteries and expenses.

[0091] In an alternative embodiment, after the first application end displays vehicle information, remaining battery power, remaining battery mileage, battery remaining capacity SOC, expenses, charging battery power, charging battery mileage, and charging battery capacity, the user can settle expenses on this first application end. The second application end can receive the settled expenses and then send the expenses to the corresponding manufacturer of the charging battery replaced by the vehicle. For example: If the user uses an Audi-type charging battery and then settles the expenses, the second application end can receive the expenses and then send the expenses to the manufacturer that owns the corresponding Audi-type charging battery. The present application can implement a unified software service platform for battery-swap models, identify battery-swap vehicle information and charging battery information, and the data management background manages and settles by manufacturer.
