The control module 203 determines the target number of firewires required when the electric vehicle 300 connected to the power router 200 is charging according to the first current information, and determines the load current on each phase firewire in the distribution box 100 according to the third current information. Then, according to the second current information, the load current on each phase firewire in the distribution box 100, and the target number, the target firewires of the target number in the distribution box 100 are determined; wherein, Ia < Ib, Ia is the sum of the current on the firewire corresponding to the target firewire in the power router 200 and the current on the firewire corresponding to the target firewire in all other power routers, Ib is the current on the target firewire in the distribution box 100, and finally the selection signal is sent to the switch module 204 according to the determined target firewire. After receiving the selection signal, the switch module 204 selects the target firewire in the distribution box 100 to charge the electric vehicle 300 according to the selection signal, so that the currents on all firewires in the distribution box 100 are balanced, solving the problem of unbalanced load on each phase firewire in the power grid when the electric vehicle 300 is charging in single-phase alternating current charging and bidirectional alternating current charging.
[0057] As shown in Figure 4 When the distribution box 100 does not include the zero line L0, the switch module 204 includes the seventh switch K7, the eighth switch K8, the ninth switch K9 and the tenth switch K10, the first end of the seventh switch K7 is used for electrical connection with the first firewire L1 in the distribution box 100, the first end of the eighth switch K8 and the first end of the ninth switch K9 are both used for electrical connection with the second firewire L2 in the distribution box 100, the first end of the tenth switch K10 is used for electrical connection with the third firewire L3 in the distribution box 100, the second end of the seventh switch K7, the second end of the eighth switch K8, the second end of the ninth switch K9 and the second end of the tenth switch K10 are all used for electrical connection with the electric vehicle 300, and the control end of the seventh switch K7, the control end of the eighth switch K8, the control end of the ninth switch K9 and the control end of the tenth switch K10 are all electrically connected with the control module 203.
[0058] Specifically, when the power router 200 is connected with the electric vehicle 300, the common end of the second end of the eighth switch K8 and the second end of the tenth switch K10 is electrically connected with the electric vehicle 300.
[0059] When the charging mode of the electric vehicle 300 is three-phase alternating current charging, the control module 203 controls the seventh switch K7, the ninth switch K9 and the tenth switch K10 to be turned on, and controls other switches to be turned off, at this time, the power router 200 performs three-phase alternating current charging for the electric vehicle 300.

After receiving the selection signal, the switch module 204 selects the target live wire in the distribution box 100 to charge the electric vehicle 300 according to the selection signal, so that the current on all live wires in the distribution box 100 is balanced, solving the problem of unbalanced load on each phase live wire in the power grid when the electric vehicle 300 is charging in single-phase alternating current charging and bidirectional alternating current charging.

[0065] In step S502, the target phase line in the distribution box 100 for charging the electric vehicle 300 is determined according to the first current information, the second current information, and the third current information, and a selection signal is sent to the switch module 204 according to the determined target phase line; wherein the selection signal is used to instruct the switch module 204 to select the target phase line in the distribution box 100 for charging the electric vehicle 300, so that the currents on all phase lines in the distribution box 100 are balanced.
[0066] Specifically, the power router 200 determines the target number of phase lines required for charging the electric vehicle 300 connected to the power router 200 according to the first current information, records the phase lines with currents greater than a preset current in the power router 200 as effective phase lines, then counts the number of effective phase lines, and records the number of effective phase lines as the target number. The designer can set the specific value of the preset current according to actual needs, for example, the preset current is 0.1A.
[0067] The power router 200 determines the load current on each phase line in the distribution box 100 according to the third current information. The sum of the currents on the phase lines corresponding to the first phase line in all other power routers is calculated and recorded as the load current on the first phase line. The sum of the currents on the phase lines corresponding to the second phase line in all other power routers is calculated and recorded as the load current on the second phase line. The sum of the currents on the phase lines corresponding to the third phase line in all other power routers is calculated and recorded as the load current on the third phase line.
[0068] The power router 200 determines the target number of target fire lines in the distribution box 100 according to the second current information, the load current on each phase fire line in the distribution box 100 and the target number; wherein Ia < Ib, Ia is the sum of the current on the fire line corresponding to the target fire line in the power router 200 and the current on the fire line corresponding to the target fire line in all other power routers, Ib is the current on the target fire line in the distribution box 100.
