Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of new energy vehicle charging technology, and in particular to an electric vehicle charging control method, device, electronic equipment and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] The rapid development of electric vehicles can effectively reduce vehicle exhaust emissions, reduce oil resource consumption, and drive the development of a series of related industries. When electric vehicles need to charge, they must use corresponding control programs to schedule charging. Existing charging scheduling solutions fall into two categories: 1. Charging station management, which requires car owners to pre-download and install the corresponding software based on the charging station and schedule charging through the software; 2. Vehicle management, which requires car owners to download vehicle control software and then control the start and end time of the vehicle to achieve the purpose of charging scheduling.

[0003] Both of the above-mentioned scheduled charging schemes have defects. When managing the charging piles, due to inconsistency in the charging pile manufacturers, the corresponding control programs are also different. There are too many charging control programs and high learning costs for car owners. When managing the vehicles, some public charging piles do not support the vehicle control software. At the same time, when the vehicle enters the scheduled charging state, due to a long period of no charging, some charging piles need to plug and unplug the gun to restart the power supply, resulting in the failure of scheduled charging. Summary of the Invention

[0057] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0058] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention as claimed, but is merely intended to represent selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0059] It should be noted that relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus comprising the element.

[0060] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other.

[0061] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 An exemplary structural block diagram of an electronic device 100 provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 1 The electronic device 100 includes a memory 101, a processor 102, and a communication interface 103. The memory 101, processor 102, and communication interface 103 are electrically connected to each other directly or indirectly to enable data transmission or interaction. For example, these components can be electrically connected to each other via one or more communication buses or signal lines.

[0062] The memory 101 can be used to store software programs and modules, and the processor 102 performs various functional applications and data processing by executing the software programs and modules stored in the memory 101. The communication interface 103 can be used to communicate signaling or data with other node devices.

[0063] Among them, the memory 101 can be, but is not limited to, random access memory (RAM), read only memory (ROM), programmable read-only memory (PROM), erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM), electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), etc.

[0064] The processor 102 may be an integrated circuit chip with signal processing capabilities. The processor 102 may be a general-purpose processor, including a central processing unit (CPU), a network processor (NP), etc.; it may also be a digital signal processor (DSP), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a field-programmable gate array (FPGA), or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, or discrete hardware components.

[0065] It should be noted that the above-mentioned electronic device can be a smart terminal such as a smart phone, tablet computer, PC, smart wearable device, etc., and the electronic device 100 can control the charging pile in the embodiment of the present invention through wireless communication (for example, using communication protocols such as HTTP, HTPS, MQTT, etc.).

[0066] Furthermore, in order to control the charging pile in the embodiment of the present invention, necessary firmware, such as an application program, may be installed on the electronic device 100 to control the charging pile.

[0067] The following is an illustrative description of the electric vehicle charging control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, taking the electronic device 100 as the execution body. Figure 2 , Figure 2 A flow chart of an electric vehicle charging control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0068] like Figure 2 As shown, the above-mentioned electric vehicle charging control method is applied to an electronic device 100, which is communicatively connected to a charging pile (not shown in the figure). The electronic device 100 stores charging information and a charging control strategy. The charging information includes a scheduled start time and a target charging amount. The above-mentioned method may include the following steps:

[0069] S210 , in response to an instruction to start scheduled charging inputted from the electronic device, determining whether the current time reaches the scheduled start time.

[0070] S220: If yes, control the charging pile to perform charging based on the charging control strategy and the target charging amount.

[0071] S230: If not, provide a plug-and-play charging solution based on the charging control strategy.

[0072] The above steps implement the process of performing scheduled charging based on the charging control strategy when the current time reaches the scheduled start time, and performing plug-and-play charging based on the charging control strategy when the current time does not reach the scheduled start time.

[0073] Among them, step S210 is the process of determining whether the current time reaches the scheduled start time when scheduled charging needs to be started.

[0074] It should be noted that the charging information stored in the above-mentioned electronic device can be set in advance in an application installed in the electronic device. When responding to the start reservation charging instruction based on the input of the electronic device, the charging pile can be controlled to charge the electric vehicle to be charged based on the charging information.

[0075] For example, if the electronic device is a mobile phone and the application installed in the mobile phone is a car networking APP that controls the charging pile, the above charging information may include the start time, end time, and target SOC (battery percentage) of the electric vehicle charging, so that the owner can not only perform conventional remote control on the mobile phone APP, but also perform convenient charging operations.

[0076] Based on this, please refer to Figure 3a and Figure 3b , Figure 3a and Figure 3b Schematic diagrams of the interfaces of a charging center of a car networking APP installed in a mobile phone under different setting states provided by an embodiment of the present invention are respectively shown. The car owner can enter the charging center interface through the charging management menu on the homepage of the APP. The charging center interface can contain different charging information.

[0077] For example, the charging center interface in normal state can be as follows Figure 3a As shown, the charging center interface includes the current SOC (battery percentage), mileage, charging status (the charging status includes: not charged, fast charge, slow charge, abnormal, Figure 3a is not charged) and the gun is plugged in and out (for example, Figure 3a The gun is shown as plugged in and not powered).

[0078] When a reservation for charging is required, the owner can click on the reservation for charging to enter the reservation interface of the charging center. Figure 3b As shown, the scheduled charging interface includes charging information such as current SOC (battery percentage), mileage, scheduled start time, scheduled end time (the scheduled end time can be selected as "not set"), cycle settings, target charging power (i.e., according to the SOC target value setting, the range is 50% to 100%, the default is 100%). Figure 3b The above charging information can be pre-set on the reservation charging interface.

[0079] After the car owner has pre-set the charging information, he can start the scheduled charging, which is based on Figure 3b On the scheduled charging interface, turn on the scheduled charging button.

[0080] It should be noted that the reservation can be canceled or updated (i.e., the charging information) before starting the scheduled charging. When the scheduled charging is started, the charging pile can be controlled to charge the electric vehicle to be charged based on the charging information set above. At this time, since the scheduled charging is turned on, the previously set charging information cannot be updated during the scheduled charging period. If the owner wants to update the charging information, he needs to stop the current scheduled charging and set it again.

[0081] Therefore, when it is necessary to start scheduled charging and it is determined that the current time reaches the scheduled start time, step S220 is continued to be executed to control the charging pile to perform charging based on the charging control strategy and the target charging amount.

[0082] Among them, the above-mentioned charging control strategy, for example, can be to judge the current plug-in gun status. If the current plug-in gun status is that a slow charging gun is inserted, the charging pile can be controlled to perform charging based on the plug-in gun status, that is, the charging pile charges the electric vehicle to be charged in the scheduled charging mode.

[0083] Furthermore, when scheduled charging needs to be started and it is determined that the current time has not reached the scheduled start time, step S230 is continued to provide another charging mode based on the charging control strategy, that is, a plug-and-play charging solution.

[0084] The charging control strategy in the above step S230, for example, can be to judge the current plug-in gun status when the scheduled start time has not been reached. If the current plug-in gun status is that a fast charging gun is inserted, or both a fast charging gun and a slow charging gun are inserted, then the current charging mode can be switched to a plug-and-play charging mode, that is, the instruction to start the plug-and-play mode can be controlled to be sent to the charging pile based on the above plug-in gun status.

[0085] The electric vehicle charging control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention realizes remote control of a charging pile to perform scheduled charging operations on an electric vehicle through a charging control strategy and based on a preset scheduled start time and a target charging amount. At the same time, the charging control strategy provides a plug-and-play charging solution, which switches between plug-and-play and ordinary scheduled charging modes, thereby achieving the purpose of flexible charging of electric vehicles.

[0086] Optionally, before step S210, it is necessary to pre-set the charging information stored in the electronic device to obtain the pre-set charging information. This process can be implemented by the following steps:

[0087] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 A second flow chart of an electric vehicle charging control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The charging information also includes a scheduled end time. Before the step of determining whether the current time reaches the scheduled start time in response to the start scheduled charging instruction input based on the electronic device in step S210, the electric vehicle charging control method further includes:

[0088] S200: Obtain the scheduled start time, the scheduled end time, and the scheduled charging SOC target value.

[0089] S201 : The scheduled charging SOC target value is set as the target charging amount.

[0090] The above steps implement the process of obtaining charging information.

[0091] For example, if the electronic device is a mobile phone, the application installed in the mobile phone is a car networking APP that controls the charging pile, and based on Figure 3b The process of pre-setting the charging information in the scheduled charging interface shown can be described as follows:

[0092] Step 1: Set the appointment start time and appointment end time. For example, set the appointment start time to 09:10 on April 27, 2022, and the appointment end time to 19:10 on April 27, 2022.

[0093] Step 2: Set the target charging power. For example, the SOC target value is set to 100%, which means that the power percentage of the electric vehicle to be charged needs to be charged to 100%.

[0094] After the above-mentioned appointment start time, appointment end time and target charging power are set, the above-mentioned charging information can be obtained. When the appointment charging instruction needs to be started later, it can be judged based on the obtained appointment start time whether the current time reaches the appointment start time. If it reaches it, the charging pile is controlled based on the obtained target charging power to perform corresponding charging operations on the electric vehicle to be charged.

[0095] Optionally, the reservation start time and the reservation end time are set according to the off-peak period of electricity consumption.

[0096] In an embodiment of the present invention, by setting the charging time period (i.e., the reservation start time and the reservation end time) during the off-peak period, car owners can enjoy off-peak charging discounts while reducing the power supply load during peak periods.

[0097] Optionally, the charging control strategy in step S220 can be to perform scheduled charging when a slow charging gun is inserted. Therefore, under this strategy, the process of controlling the charging pile to perform charging based on the target charging amount can be achieved through the following steps:

[0098] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 The third flow chart of a method for controlling charging of an electric vehicle provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. A slow charging gun is provided on the charging pile, and the slow charging gun is electrically connected to the charging pile. In step S220, the steps of controlling the charging pile to perform charging based on the charging control strategy and the target charging amount include:

[0099] S221, judging the current state of inserting and removing the gun.

[0100] S222: When the current plug-in state is plugged in and the inserted charging gun is a slow charging gun, the charging pile is controlled to perform charging based on the target charging amount.

[0101] When the current gun insertion and removal state is that the gun is not inserted, the process returns to step S221.

[0102] The above steps implement the process of scheduled charging when the inserted charging gun is a slow charging gun.

[0103] For example, if the electronic device is a mobile phone, and the application installed in the mobile phone is a car networking APP that controls the charging pile, Figure 3b Based on the reservation charging interface shown, Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the interface of a charging center of a car networking APP installed in a mobile phone in a scheduled charging state provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0104] like Figure 6 As shown, if it is determined in step S221 that the current plug-in gun state is plugged in, and the inserted charging gun is a slow charging gun, the charging status of the charging center interface will display "slow charging", indicating that only slow charging is supported in the scheduled charging mode, that is, when the slow charging gun is inserted, the slow charging operation can be performed.

[0105] Furthermore, the interface may also include the charging time (for example, Figure 6 The charging time shown is 2 hours and 36 minutes), the remaining charging time (i.e., the time until the target charge is reached, for example, Figure 6 As shown, it takes 1 hour and 20 minutes to charge to reach the target power of 100%), charging current (for example, Figure 6 20A) and other charging information.

[0106] Optionally, during the process of scheduled charging based on step S222, if the scheduled end time is reached, or the target charging amount is reached, or the owner sets the charging to stop in the electronic device, the charging pile will stop charging the electric vehicle to be charged. This process can be achieved by the following steps:

[0107] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7 The fourth flow chart of an electric vehicle charging control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. After the step of controlling the charging pile to perform charging based on the target charging amount in step S222 when the current plug-in state is plugged in and the inserted charging gun is a slow charging gun, the electric vehicle charging control method further includes:

[0108] S223, obtaining the current charging capacity and the current time.

[0109] S224 , in response to a stop charging instruction input based on the electronic device, or when the current charging amount reaches the target charging amount, or when the current time reaches the scheduled end time, the charging pile is controlled to stop charging.

[0110] The above steps realize the process of controlling the charging pile to stop charging based on the corresponding stop charging conditions.

[0111] For example, if the electronic device is a mobile phone, and the application installed in the mobile phone is a car networking APP that controls the charging pile, Figure 6 Based on the shown reservation charging interface, the target charging amount pre-set in the previous text is 100%, and the reservation end time is 19:10 on 2022-04-27.

[0112] At this time, the owner can click the stop charging button (not shown in the figure) displayed on the interface to stop charging immediately, or when the current charging amount reaches 100%, or when the current time reaches 19:10 on 2022-04-27, the charging pile will stop charging the electric vehicle to be charged.

[0113] Optionally, when presetting the charging information, you can also set whether to enable the cycle setting. The cycle setting indicates whether the scheduled charging setting will take effect every day. When the cycle setting is not enabled, if the gun is unplugged during charging, the charging mode will switch to the plug-and-charge mode. The above process can be achieved by the following steps:

[0114] See also Figure 8 , Figure 8 FIG5 shows a fifth flow chart of an electric vehicle charging control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The electric vehicle charging control method further includes:

[0115] S240 , in response to a start scheduled charging instruction inputted from the electronic device, when the current plug-in gun state is plugged in and the inserted charging gun is a slow charging gun, determining whether the cycle mode is on.

[0116] When the current gun insertion and removal state is that the gun is not inserted, the process returns to step S240 .

[0117] S241: If yes, every time the current time reaches the scheduled start time, the charging pile is controlled to perform charging based on the target charging amount.

[0118] S242: If not, when the current time reaches the scheduled start time, the charging pile is controlled to perform charging based on the target charging amount, and the current plug-in and unplug-out status of the charging pile is determined.

[0119] S243: When the current state of the plug-in / unplug-out gun is unplugging the gun, a command for starting the plug-and-charge mode is sent to the charging pile.

[0120] When the current gun insertion and removal state is that the gun is not removed, the process returns to step S242.

[0121] The above steps implement the operation of charging when the circulation mode is turned on, and the process of switching modes when the gun is drawn during charging when the circulation mode is not turned on.

[0122] It should be noted that the above cycle setting needs to be set when the charging information is pre-set. Therefore, if the electronic device is a mobile phone, the application installed in the mobile phone is the car networking APP that controls the charging pile, and based on Figure 3b The scheduled charging interface shown in the figure can be used to describe the process of loop setting when setting charging information as follows:

[0123] Step 1: Set the appointment start time and appointment end time. For example, set the appointment start time to 09:10 on April 27, 2022, and the appointment end time to 19:10 on April 27, 2022.

[0124] Step 2: Set the target charging power. For example, the SOC target value is set to 100%, which means that the power percentage of the electric vehicle to be charged needs to be charged to 100%.

[0125] Step 3: Set the loop setting to off (i.e. Figure 3b The cycle setting button shown is off), indicating that the scheduled charging setting will not take effect every day, but only on the current day.

[0126] After setting the charging information, the owner can start the scheduled charging, which is based on Figure 3bOn the scheduled charging interface, turn on the scheduled charging button. During the scheduled charging period, if you unplug the gun, the charging mode will be switched to plug-and-play charging mode.

[0127] Furthermore, if the cycle setting is set to be turned on, the scheduled charging interface can be as follows Figure 9 As shown, the process of setting the charging information in a loop can be described as follows:

[0128] Step 1: Set the appointment start time and appointment end time. For example, set the appointment start time to 09:10 and do not set the appointment end time.

[0129] Step 2: Set the target charging power. For example, the SOC target value is set to 100%, which means that the power percentage of the electric vehicle to be charged needs to be charged to 100%.

[0130] Step 3: Set the open loop setting (ie, Figure 9 The cycle setting button shown is turned on), indicating that the scheduled charging setting will take effect every day, that is, when the time reaches 09:10 every day, the charging pile will charge the electric vehicle to be charged.

[0131] After setting the charging information, the owner can start the scheduled charging, which is based on Figure 9 On the scheduled charging interface, turn on the scheduled charging button.

[0132] Optionally, the charging control strategy in step S230 can be that when a fast charging gun is present in the plug-in and unplug-out state, a plug-and-charge charging mode is used. Therefore, under this strategy, the process of providing a plug-and-charge charging solution can be achieved through the following steps:

[0133] See also Figure 10 , Figure 10 The sixth flow chart of a method for controlling charging of an electric vehicle provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown. A fast charging gun is further provided on the charging pile, and the fast charging gun is electrically connected to the charging pile. The step of providing a plug-and-play charging solution based on the charging control strategy in step S230 includes:

[0134] S231, judging the current state of inserting and removing the gun.

[0135] S232: When the current plug-in state is plugged in and the inserted charging gun is a fast charging gun, a command to start the plug-and-charge mode is sent to the charging pile.

[0136] When the current gun insertion and removal state is that the gun is not inserted, the process returns to step S231.

[0137] The above steps implement the process of switching to plug-and-play charging mode when a fast charging gun is inserted.

[0138] For example, if the electronic device is a mobile phone, and the application installed in the mobile phone is a car networking APP that controls the charging pile, Figure 3b Based on the reservation charging interface shown, Figure 11 A schematic diagram of the interface of a charging center of a car networking APP installed in a mobile phone in a plug-and-charge state provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0139] like Figure 11 As shown, if the current plug-in status is determined to be plugged in in step S231, and there is a fast charging gun inserted, it indicates that there is only a fast charging gun inserted, or both a fast charging gun and a slow charging gun inserted. At this time, the charging mode will be switched to plug-and-play charging mode, and the charging status on the charging center interface will display "fast charging".

[0140] Furthermore, the interface may also include the start charging time (i.e., the current charging time when switching to the plug-and-charge mode, for example, Figure 11 The charging start time shown is 01-03 23:00), the charging time (for example, Figure 11 The charging time shown is 2 hours and 35 minutes), the remaining charging time (i.e., the time until the target charge is reached, for example, Figure 11 It will take another 2 hours and 35 minutes to reach the target charge level), charging current (for example, Figure 11 20A shown), charging voltage (e.g., Figure 11 220V shown), charging mode (e.g. Figure 11 charging mode shown) and other charging information.

[0141] It should be noted that after the above plug-and-play charging mode is completed, if the owner chooses to insert only the slow charging gun, and then sets the charging information and turns on the scheduled charging after inserting the slow charging gun, the charging mode will switch back to the scheduled charging mode, and the charging pile will charge the electric vehicle to be charged. At this time, the charging status of the charging center interface will be as follows: Figure 6 As shown, it shows "slow charging".

[0142] Furthermore, since the above charging state may also be abnormal, for example, charging failure, at this time, based on Figure 6 The interface diagram of the scheduled charging state is shown, and Figure 11 The interface diagram of the plug-and-play charging state is shown. In the above two interfaces, a charging abnormality prompt will appear (not shown in the figure). At this time, the owner can check the cause of the failure or abnormality.

[0143] Based on the above electric vehicle charging control method, an electric vehicle charging control device is provided below to execute the process steps in the above various implementation methods and achieve corresponding technical effects.

[0144] Specifically, Figure 12 For an exemplary structural block diagram of an electric vehicle charging control device 300 provided in an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 12 The device is applied to an electronic device 100, which is communicatively connected to a charging pile (not shown in the figure).

[0148] The above modules can be stored in the form of software or firmware. Figure 1 The memory 101 shown in FIG. 100 or the operating system (OS) of the electronic device 100 may be fixed therein and may be Figure 1 Meanwhile, the data, program codes, etc. required to execute the above modules may be stored in the memory 101.
