Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of Internet of Things, and in particular to a method for remotely upgrading a battery via a smart food delivery electric motorcycle. Background Art

[0002] Currently, most battery BMSs on the market do not have communication modules, which means that once a BMS fails or a new function is added, it cannot be upgraded remotely. Operation and maintenance personnel must go to the site to handle it or the battery must be returned to the factory for repair, which incurs huge manpower and expense costs. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for remotely upgrading the battery of an intelligent takeout electric motorcycle, which reduces the cost of manual operation and maintenance, improves the timeliness of battery upgrades, and increases product reliability. The method does not require the battery to have a remote communication function, saves equipment costs, and can realize remote automatic task upgrades. The remote battery can be upgraded in a timely and quantitative manner, which reduces the difficulty of the operation and maintenance personnel to go to the site, does not affect the normal operation of the equipment, increases economic and work benefits, and can effectively solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0004] To achieve the above object, according to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a method for remotely upgrading a battery via a smart food delivery electric motorcycle, the method comprising:

[0005] Upload the battery upgrade file to the food delivery management system;

[0006] Create an upgrade task in the food delivery management system and set the battery upgrade rules;

[0007] The food delivery management system periodically determines whether the battery of the smart food delivery motorcycle has reached the upgrade condition;

[0008] If the upgrade conditions are met, the food delivery management system will send the battery upgrade file to the smart food delivery motorcycle and save the battery upgrade package in the storage area of ​​the central controller. If the upgrade fails, it will indicate that the device upgrade has failed in the upgrade task.

[0009] The central controller of the smart food delivery motorcycle performs CRC32 calculation and packet length calculation on the battery upgrade package, and then compares it with the upgrade package issued by the food delivery management system. If the comparison passes, it proceeds to the next step. If the comparison fails, it requests the food delivery management system to start the upgrade. If three requests to download the upgrade package fail, the upgrade task will be directly defined as a failure.

[0010] The central controller forwards the battery upgrade package that passes the comparison to the battery. The battery BMS performs CRC32 calculation and package length calculation on the battery upgrade package, and then compares it with the upgrade package sent by the upgrade request. If the comparison passes, it proceeds to the next step. If it fails, it requests the central controller to start the upgrade again. If three requests to download the upgrade package fail, the upgrade task will be directly defined as a failure.

[0011] After the battery receives the correct and complete upgrade package, use this file as the upgrade package to upgrade the system;

[0012] After the battery upgrade is successful, the RS485 interface will be used to notify the central controller of the upgrade completion. The central controller will then forward the battery upgrade completion information to the food delivery management system. The food delivery management system will change the upgrade task of the battery that meets the battery upgrade rules within this task to success. Subsequent logins of this batch of smart food delivery motorcycles will not respond to this battery upgrade task unless the aforementioned battery upgrade task is encountered again.

[0013] Preferably, after uploading the battery upgrade file to the takeaway delivery management system, the method further includes:

[0014] The cloud platform calculates the CRC32 value of the file, and the version information is manually entered into the food delivery management system. The food delivery management system will store the URL information, version number, and file verification code information of the upgrade file.

[0015] Preferably, the battery upgrade rule specifically includes upgrading according to the battery BMS version number, or upgrading according to the battery serial number.

[0016] Preferably, if the upgrade conditions are met, the food delivery management system sends the battery upgrade file to the smart food delivery motorcycle, specifically:

[0017] The food delivery management system packages the upgrade package version number, upgrade package CRC32 checksum, and upgrade package length information through a TCP private protocol link, and sends it to the smart food delivery motorcycle.

[0018] Preferably, the operations before the food delivery management system periodically determines whether the battery of the smart food delivery motorcycle meets the upgrade conditions include:

[0019] When the battery is installed on the smart food delivery electric motorcycle, the battery information is automatically obtained when the smart food delivery electric motorcycle is turned on.

[0020] According to another aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a system for remotely upgrading batteries through a smart takeaway electric motorcycle, the system comprising a takeaway delivery management system and a smart takeaway electric motorcycle loaded with a battery, the smart takeaway electric motorcycle comprising a central controller, a controller and a battery;
