Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of power electronics technology, and in particular to a method and apparatus for sharing electricity. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the government has introduced a series of policies to encourage the development of the sharing economy, supporting and encouraging qualified industries and regions to conduct pilot programs, fully leveraging their demonstrative and guiding role to promote the development of the sharing economy. With the support of national policies, public transportation sectors such as shared bicycles and shared cars have achieved good economic benefits.

[0003] Currently, power companies lack a unified and comprehensive power management process for temporary and short-term electricity use in public places, making it impossible to ensure electricity metering, payment, and safe electricity use. For example, in seasonal and temporary electricity use scenarios such as night market stalls, agricultural irrigation, mobile vendors, town squares, and village markets, residents use electricians to run temporary power lines. However, this process presents several challenges: first, the electricity consumption cannot be measured and is usually only accounted for as line loss; second, there is no standardized payment channel for electricity bills; and third, electrical safety cannot be guaranteed, potentially leading to accidents.

[0004] Traditional public electricity services are mostly free or involve manual payment. Free mobile phone charging services have appeared in some public places, and residential electricity sales have also appeared in some densely populated areas. However, these electricity sales models lack legal basis for measurement. Summary of the Invention

[0047] Figure 2 This illustration shows a structural schematic diagram of an intelligent shared power metering box provided in an embodiment of this application;

[0048] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a shared power method device provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. Detailed Implementation

[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0050] Currently, power companies lack a unified and comprehensive power supply management process for temporary and short-term electricity use in public places, making it impossible to ensure electricity metering, payment, and safe electricity use. For example, in seasonal and temporary electricity use scenarios such as night market stalls, agricultural irrigation, mobile vendors, town squares, and village markets, residents use electricians to run temporary power lines. However, this process presents several challenges: first, the electricity consumption cannot be measured and is usually only accounted for as line loss; second, there is no standardized payment channel for electricity bills; and third, electrical safety cannot be guaranteed, potentially leading to accidents.

[0051] Addressing the seasonal, temporary, and public electricity demands arising from daily life, shared electricity services simplify procedures, streamline the process, and enhance user experience. Smart shared power products integrate big data, cloud architecture, the Internet of Things, and mobile internet with the "Internet + marketing model" sharing concept to provide "shared power" services. This involves connecting the State Grid online system, smart shared power metering boxes, and marketing applications to achieve real-time business and information flow. Users are provided with integrated smart QR code scanning services for registration, payment, electricity use, and settlement, resulting in an extremely simple and fast new electricity experience.

[0052] Traditional public electricity services are mostly free or involve manual payment. Free mobile phone charging services have appeared in some public places, and residential electricity sales have appeared on the roadside in some densely populated areas. However, these electricity sales models lack legal basis for measurement.

[0053] Compared to traditional retail electricity services, shared power metering boxes are intelligent and support integration with online service products. They allow users to activate the "shared power" function online, providing a unified online platform for temporary electricity users to apply, sign (electricity agreement, safety agreement, electricity contract), inquire, pay, use, and consume. The intelligent shared power metering box can connect with the electricity sales platform via remote communication for electricity consumption and payment settlement.

[0054] Please see Figure 1 The diagram shows a flowchart of an embodiment of a shared power method provided in this application. This embodiment includes at least the following steps:

[0055] S1 receives a power request from a client by scanning the barcode on the shared power supply box.

[0056] When a user needs temporary power, the user scans the barcode on the shared power box through the application (APP), triggering the client to generate a power request and send the power request to the server. The server can then receive the power request sent by the client through scanning the barcode on the shared power box. The power request includes the shared power box number corresponding to the shared power box to which the user scanned the barcode.

[0057] The barcode on the shared power supply box is a unique asset code managed by the power company. It is difficult for outsiders to forge the barcode and trick users into scanning it. If an illegal barcode is scanned in the State Grid APP online, the user will be promptly alerted.

[0058] A client is a program that provides local services to clients, such as an application (APP) or a browser. Clients can be installed on terminals, which are devices that can install and run clients, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktop computers, minicomputers, mid-range computers, and mainframe computers. A server is a service device that can communicate with clients and provide data support to them. A server can provide services to one client or multiple clients simultaneously.

[0059] The APP can refer to the State Grid Online APP. This application embodiment can rely on the construction achievements of the State Grid Online APP to expand the function construction of shared electricity, integrate different shared electricity scenarios, build a unified shared electricity business process, realize the function of scanning code for electricity, and provide temporary electricity users with an integrated shared electricity service of scanning code, recharging, electricity use and settlement.

[0060] S2 controls the opening of the shared power box door based on the shared power box number.

[0061] After receiving a power request from a client, the server controls the shared power box to open its door based on the shared power box number in the request, allowing the user to connect their electrical equipment to the shared power box.

[0062] When the server controls the shared power box to open its door, the shared power box is in a de-energized state, ensuring that no current flows through the box body that the user can touch, thus guaranteeing user safety.

[0063] S3 receives the power-on request sent by the client.

[0064] After a user connects their electrical equipment to the shared power box, they confirm the connection on the app, which triggers the client to send a power-on request to the server, so that the server can receive the power-on request sent by the client.

[0065] S4 controls the shared power supply box to power on according to the power-on request.

[0066] After receiving a power-on request from the client, the server determines whether the electrical device is successfully connected to the shared power box. If so, it controls the shared power box to power on according to the power-on request, so that the shared power box provides power to the electrical device.

[0067] Before the server controls the shared power supply box to power on according to the power-on request, it determines whether the current account balance corresponding to the power request is greater than a first preset threshold. If so, the server controls the shared power supply box to power on according to the power-on request. It should be noted that the first preset threshold can be set by technicians according to the actual needs of the scenario, and this application embodiment does not limit it.

[0068] Please see Figure 2This illustration shows a structural diagram of an intelligent shared power metering box provided in an embodiment of this application. The shared power box can be an intelligent shared power metering box, which supports 220V lighting power, 380V power, and 5V mobile phone charging. The intelligent shared power metering box is a shared power consumption product with expandable meter positions as needed. It adopts a "main box + auxiliary box" box-type design, which can be flexibly combined according to the actual meter positions on site. It mainly includes an intelligent shared power consumption terminal, an intelligent edge sensing module, an energy meter, and a circuit breaker, which are installed in the main box and auxiliary box respectively. The main box and auxiliary box achieve functions such as power control, equipment status sensing, and electricity theft analysis through CAN cascade communication.

[0069] The intelligent shared power terminal has built-in multiple security monitoring strategies, supports remote and local fee control, intelligent meter reading, breakpoint resume, wireless program upgrades, etc. The intelligent edge sensing module can monitor signals such as high temperature, smoke, overvoltage, and overcurrent in real time, and execute safety protection measures such as SMS warnings, mobile application warnings, and forced power outages according to the security monitoring strategies.

[0070] When electricity theft is detected, or when suspected electricity theft is observed such as opening or closing the maintenance door or opening the electricity meter cover, the shared power box will proactively report the event to the server. The server will then promptly send a message to remind the personnel responsible for the shared power assets.

[0071] The shared power supply box has passed 3C certification and has an IP34 protection rating. The safety measures for users' electricity use are described from several aspects, including installation, cabinet materials, internal structure, and intelligent control.

[0072] 1. Regarding installation, the center of the shared power supply box must be at least 1.8 meters above the ground to prevent people, especially children, from touching it. Two installation methods are supported: wall mounting and column mounting.

[0073] 2. Regarding the enclosure material, the outer shell can be made of metal or fiberglass, both of which meet the standard flame retardant rating. The bottom of the enclosure is equipped with a drainage channel, and the metal material of the enclosure has a grounding wire, meeting the design standards of rainproof, dustproof, anti-static, and anti-vandalism, protecting the asset safety of the shared power box, while also protecting the user's electrical safety.

[0074] 3. Regarding the internal structure of the enclosure, the power control unit of the shared power box is physically isolated from the user operating area and is protected against leakage to ensure the safety of the user operating area.

[0075] 4. In terms of intelligent control, the shared power box is equipped with an intelligent module. When the shared power box is overloaded, such as by overvoltage, overcurrent, short circuit, or leakage, it will automatically cut off the power supply to avoid damaging the equipment and ensure the user's electrical safety.

[0076] S5 receives a request from the client to end power usage.

[0077] When a user needs to end their power usage, the client sends a power-ending request to the server, which then receives the request.

[0078] S6 controls the shared power supply box to disconnect power based on the power termination request.

[0079] After receiving the power-off request from the client, the server controls the shared power box to disconnect from power, so that the shared power box no longer provides power to the electrical equipment.

[0080] Before receiving the power outage request sent by the client, this application embodiment further includes:

[0081] Determine whether the output current of the shared power supply box exceeds the current limit threshold or whether the output voltage of the shared power supply box exceeds the voltage limit threshold.

[0082] If so, control the shared power supply box to cut off the power and send a power outage reminder to the client, including the reason for the power outage.

[0083] The server is configured with current and voltage over-limit thresholds. If the server detects that a user is using high-power equipment—that is, the output current of the shared power supply box exceeds the current over-limit threshold or the output voltage of the shared power supply box exceeds the voltage over-limit threshold—it will control the shared power supply box to cut off power. No on-site inspection is required afterward, and it does not affect other users' ability to continue scanning codes to use electricity. For example, if a user uses the shared power supply in a high-power scenario such as an engineering site, triggering the overvoltage and overcurrent protection mechanism, the user will be prevented from continuing to use it.

[0084] Before receiving the power outage request sent by the client, this application embodiment further includes:

[0085] Calculate electricity costs in real time based on electricity consumption;

[0086] Calculate the projected account balance based on the current account balance corresponding to electricity costs and electricity requests;

[0087] Determine whether the predicted account amount is greater than the second preset threshold, and the second preset threshold is less than the first preset threshold;

[0088] If the predicted account balance is not greater than the second preset threshold, a recharge reminder message is sent to the client.

[0089] If the predicted account balance is greater than the second preset threshold, execute the step of calculating electricity costs in real time based on electricity consumption;

[0090] Determine whether the predicted account amount is greater than the third preset threshold, and if the third preset threshold is less than the second preset threshold;

[0091] If the predicted account amount is not greater than the third preset threshold, the shared power box will be powered off.

[0092] If the predicted account balance is greater than the third preset threshold, the step of calculating electricity costs in real time based on electricity consumption will be executed.

[0093] After calculating electricity costs in real time, electricity monitoring information is generated and sent to the client so that users can view the current electricity usage information through the client. The electricity monitoring information includes the current electricity consumption, the current electricity cost, and account information.

[0094] It should be noted that the second and third preset thresholds can be set by technicians according to the actual needs of the scenario, and this application embodiment does not limit them.

[0095] In the embodiments of this application, there are two main categories of power outage termination methods: user-initiated power outage and server-initiated power outage due to insufficient balance or overcurrent / overload.

[0096] S7 generates an electricity bill based on the current power level of the shared power box.

[0097] After the server controls the shared power supply box to shut down, it generates an electricity bill based on the box's current power level. When the server controls the shared power supply box to power on, it records the initial power level and generates an electricity bill based on the initial and current power levels. The electricity bill includes user information, electricity consumption, electricity unit price, total electricity price, start time, and end time of electricity use.

[0098] After generating the electricity bill, this application embodiment further includes the following steps:

[0099] Settle accounts corresponding to user requests to terminate based on electricity bills;

[0100] Determine if the account balance of the account corresponding to the terminated user request is greater than 0;

[0101] If so, a refund will be issued to the account corresponding to the terminated user request based on the account balance.

[0102] In this embodiment of the application, after the electricity bill is generated, a real-time settlement is performed, and the account balance after settlement is refunded.

[0103] S8 sends the electricity bill to the client.

[0104] After generating the electricity bill, the server sends the bill to the client so that the user can view the bill through the client.

[0105] Before receiving a power request sent by a client by scanning a barcode on a shared power supply box, this application embodiment further includes:

[0106] S9 receives the registration request sent by the client.

[0107] Before scanning the barcode on the shared power box with the APP, users need to register an account on the APP. This triggers the client to send a registration request to the server so that the server can receive the registration request sent by the client. The registration request includes the personal information of the user to be registered, including mobile phone number, ID card number, nickname and other information that can prove the identity of the user to be registered.

[0108] S10, Register the account corresponding to the registration request according to the registration request.

[0109] After receiving a registration request, the server registers a corresponding account for the user to be registered, so that the user can recharge before using the shared power box.

[0110] S11 receives a recharge request sent by the client.

[0111] To avoid unpaid electricity bills, users need to top up their accounts before using the shared power supply boxes. The server receives top-up requests from clients, which include the top-up amount.

[0112] S12, recharge the account corresponding to the recharge request according to the recharge request.

[0113] After receiving a recharge request, the server will recharge the account corresponding to the recharge request.

[0114] Before receiving the power outage request sent by the client, this application embodiment further includes:

[0115] S13, receive leakage events sent by the shared power supply box;

[0116] S14, send maintenance information to maintenance personnel based on leakage events so that maintenance personnel can inspect and repair on-site.

[0117] When a leakage occurs in the shared power box, such as when the box itself becomes electrified or when there is an electric shock during wiring of the electrical equipment, the shared power box will immediately trip the main circuit breaker, putting the shared power box into a power-off state, and will proactively report the leakage event to the server so that the server can send maintenance information to maintenance personnel.

[0118] In this embodiment, the system receives a power request sent by a client by scanning a barcode on a shared power supply box. The power request includes the shared power supply box number. The system then controls the shared power supply box door to open based on the shared power supply box number. Finally, the system receives a power-on request from the client and controls the shared power supply box to be powered on based on the power-on request. This embodiment implements a barcode-based power consumption function, providing temporary power users with an integrated barcode-based power consumption service. It establishes an efficient online and offline collaborative operation and maintenance mechanism, supports the comprehensive construction of a new shared power consumption pattern, improves the power supply management process for temporary and short-term power consumption, and brings users a simple and fast new power consumption experience.

[0119] We will build an intelligent "shared power" product that integrates registration, navigation, recharge, power use, and settlement for temporary power users; combine it with the online service products of the power system to enable the "shared power" function online and use shared power devices offline, thus innovating the power use model; simplify the power application process, facilitate the power use process, and improve the power use experience, so that customers can "scan", "use", "pay" and "know" their power use instantly.

[0120] The following describes the application scenarios. Shared power boxes are designed to address users' temporary power needs. They utilize a uniform general industrial and commercial electricity price and are typically installed near locations where users require electricity.
