[0025] In the following description, specific details such as specific system structures and techniques are provided for purposes of illustration rather than limitation to facilitate a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present application. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present application may be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to avoid obscuring the description of the present application with unnecessary detail.

[0026] A method and device for prompting the end of charging according to an embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a method for prompting the end of charging provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method for prompting the end of charging can be executed by the vehicle side. Figure 1 As shown, the method for notifying when charging is complete includes:

[0028] Step S101: During the charging process, the current charging status signal, current endurance type, and current charging power of the vehicle are obtained.

[0029] When the vehicle's battery level drops to a certain level (such as below a certain battery threshold) and is insufficient to reduce the mileage, the charging behavior is triggered and the charging process begins.

[0030] Step S102 : Based on the current charging state signal and the current cruising type, the current charging efficiency of the vehicle is determined. The current charging efficiency indicates the cruising range that can be increased per unit charging time.

[0031] The charging unit time can be set according to the actual situation. Usually, the charging unit time is 1 minute or 1 hour.

[0032] The range added per unit of charging time refers to the amount of range that can be increased for every minute (or hour) of charging. For example, the range can be increased by X kilometers per minute of charging, and the range can be increased by Y kilometers per hour of charging.

[0033] Step S103: determining the required mileage for the vehicle to travel from the current location to the target location.

[0034] The current location refers to the current location of the vehicle, such as a specific location in City A.

[0035] The target location refers to the destination where the user wants to go, such as a specific location in city B.

[0036] The required cruising range refers to the distance between the current location and the target location.

[0037] In one embodiment, the location information of the current location (such as location coordinates) and the location information of the target location (such as location coordinates) can be obtained first, and then the distance value between the current location and the target location can be calculated based on their location coordinates to obtain the required cruising range.

[0038] Step S104 , calculating the required charging time for the vehicle to travel from the current location to the target location based on the current charging efficiency and the required cruising range.

[0039] The required charging time for the vehicle to travel from its current location to its target location can be calculated using the formula: Required charging time = required range ÷ current charging efficiency.

[0040] Step S105 : Based on the current charging efficiency and the required charging time, output a prompt message indicating when charging will end.

[0041] A prompt indicating when charging is complete can be displayed on the charging display interface, including the current charging efficiency and required charging time. A prompt indicating when charging is complete can also be output via a prompt light and / or a prompt sound. For example, a combination of different colored prompt lights and prompt sounds can be used to indicate the current charging efficiency and required charging time to the user.

[0042] The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application is as follows: during the charging process, first, the current charging efficiency of the vehicle is determined based on the current charging status signal and the current endurance type of the vehicle, and the current charging efficiency indicates the amount of endurance that can be increased per unit charging time; then, the required charging time for the vehicle to travel from the current position to the target position is calculated based on the current charging efficiency and the required endurance mileage for the vehicle to travel from the current position to the target position; finally, based on the current charging efficiency and the required charging time, a prompt message indicating the end time of charging is output, so that the user can intuitively know the specific charging time and the increase in vehicle endurance in the process of traveling from the current position to the next position within a period of time in the future, and at the same time, a reliable decision-making basis can be provided for the user to decide when to end the charging behavior, thereby improving the user's driving experience.

[0043] The method for prompting the end of charging provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by the vehicle side or by a terminal device (such as a mobile phone, a computer, etc.). If it is executed by the vehicle side, the prompt of the end of charging obtained through the above steps can be displayed on the charging display screen of the vehicle side. If it is executed by the terminal device, a communication connection can be established between the terminal device and the vehicle side, and the current charging status signal and the current endurance type of the vehicle can be obtained to determine the current charging efficiency of the vehicle, and then the required charging time for the vehicle to travel from the current position to the target position is calculated based on the current charging efficiency and the required endurance mileage of the vehicle from the current position to the target position, and then the current charging efficiency and the required charging time are displayed on the display screen of the terminal device.

[0044] In some embodiments, the above step S102 specifically includes:

[0045] Determine the target calculation strategy based on the current charging status signal and the current endurance type;

[0046] Get the current vehicle energy consumption value under the current endurance type;

[0047] Calculate the current charging efficiency of the vehicle based on the target calculation strategy and the current vehicle energy consumption value.

[0048] The current charging status signal includes fast charging mode and slow charging mode. Fast charging mode, i.e., rapid charging (DC charging), is a charging method that can fully charge the battery within 1 to 5 hours. Slow charging mode, i.e., AC charging, charges the vehicle directly using 220V AC power from the grid.

[0049] Current range types include WLTC (World Light Vehicle Test Cycle), CLTC (China Light-duty Vehicle Test Cycle), NEDC (New European Driving Cycle), and combined range. Combined range is a vehicle's range measured based on the user's driving habits.

[0050] In some embodiments, when the target calculation strategy is the first slow charging calculation strategy, calculating the current charging efficiency of the vehicle based on the target calculation strategy and the current vehicle energy consumption value specifically includes the following steps:

[0051] determining a vehicle drive mode of the vehicle;

[0052] Determine the current vehicle energy consumption value of the vehicle based on the current range type and vehicle driving mode;

[0053] The current charging efficiency of the vehicle is calculated based on the first slow charging calculation strategy, the current charging power and the current vehicle energy consumption value.

[0054] Vehicle drive types include two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. In two-wheel drive, all engine power is transmitted to the rear drive axle, driving the rear wheels to propel the vehicle forward. In actual driving, it is the rear wheels that "push" the front wheels, propelling the vehicle forward. In four-wheel drive, both front and rear wheels are powered, and the engine torque is distributed to all wheels in varying proportions according to road conditions, improving the vehicle's driving performance.

[0055] The vehicle's energy consumption generally varies depending on the vehicle's drive mode and range. This value significantly impacts the vehicle's range. Therefore, it's necessary to first determine the vehicle's current energy consumption based on the vehicle's range and drive mode.

[0056] The current vehicle energy consumption value can be determined based on the vehicle energy consumption test results under the current range type and the vehicle's driving mode. Typically, the vehicle energy consumption test results are fixed attribute values of the vehicle, which can be determined based on relevant data provided by the manufacturer.

[0057] In actual applications, a data table can be designed in advance based on the correspondence between the endurance type, vehicle driving mode and vehicle energy consumption value, and the relevant data can be filled into the data table. Later, when the current vehicle energy consumption value needs to be obtained, it can be queried from the data table based on the known endurance type and vehicle driving mode.

[0058] The current charging power can be calculated based on the current charging voltage and current charging current collected from the vehicle. The current charging voltage can be collected using the vehicle's voltmeter, and the current charging current can be collected using the vehicle's ammeter.

Based on the third slow charging calculation strategy, the current charging power and the current vehicle energy consumption value, the current charging efficiency of the vehicle is calculated. Specifically, the current charging efficiency of the vehicle can be calculated according to the following formula (5) or formula (6).

[0074] If the current endurance type is CLTC endurance and the current charging status signal is fast charging mode, the target calculation strategy is the third fast charging calculation strategy. Based on the third fast charging calculation strategy, the current charging power and the current vehicle energy consumption value, the current charging efficiency of the vehicle is calculated. Specifically, the current charging efficiency of the vehicle can be calculated according to the following formula (7) or formula (8).

[0079] If the current cruising range type is NEDC operating range and the current charging status signal is slow charging mode, the target calculation strategy is the fourth slow charging calculation strategy. Based on the fourth slow charging calculation strategy, the current charging power, and the current vehicle energy consumption value, the current charging efficiency of the vehicle is calculated. Specifically, the current charging efficiency of the vehicle can be calculated according to the following formula (9) or formula (10).

[0080]

[0084] If the current cruising range type is NEDC operating range and the current charging status signal is fast charging mode, the target calculation strategy is the fourth fast charging calculation strategy. Based on the third fast charging calculation strategy, the current charging power and the current vehicle energy consumption value, the current charging efficiency of the vehicle is calculated. Specifically, the current charging efficiency of the vehicle can be calculated according to the following formula (11) or formula (12).

[0085]

[0086] In formula (11), U 11 Indicates the current charging voltage of the vehicle in NEDC operating mode; I 11 Indicates the current charging current of the vehicle in NEDC operating mode; P NEDC3 Indicates the current vehicle energy consumption value under NEDC operating conditions and two-wheel drive mode; P NEDCquick1 Indicates the current charging efficiency under NEDC operating conditions and two-wheel drive mode, in km / h.

[0087]

[0088] In formula (12), U 12 Indicates the current charging voltage of the vehicle in NEDC operating mode; I 12 Indicates the current charging current of the vehicle in NEDC operating mode; P NEDC4 Indicates the current vehicle energy consumption value under NEDC operating conditions and four-wheel drive mode; P NEDCquick2 Indicates the current charging efficiency under NEDC operating conditions and four-wheel drive mode, in km / h.

[0089] If the current endurance type is comprehensive working condition endurance and the current charging status signal is slow charging mode, the target calculation strategy is the second slow charging calculation strategy. Based on the target calculation strategy and the current vehicle energy consumption value, the current charging efficiency of the vehicle is calculated, specifically including the following steps:

[0090] Obtaining a first actual energy consumption value for each accumulated first unit distance traveled by the vehicle, and a second actual energy consumption value for each accumulated second unit distance traveled by the vehicle, wherein the first unit distance is less than the second unit distance;

[0091] determining a current vehicle energy consumption value of the vehicle according to the first actual energy consumption value and the second actual energy consumption value;

[0092] The current charging efficiency of the vehicle is calculated based on the fourth slow charging calculation strategy and the current vehicle energy consumption value.

[0093] The first unit distance and the second unit distance can be set according to the actual situation. Usually the first unit distance is set to 1km and the second unit distance is set to 10km.

[0094] For example, the first unit distance is 1 km and the second unit distance is 10 km. For example, if the total accumulated mileage is 100 km, the vehicle outputs a short distance and its first actual energy consumption value for every 1 km it has traveled, and a long distance and its second actual energy consumption value for every 10 km it has traveled. When the vehicle has traveled the first 1 km, a short distance and its first actual energy consumption value x1 are output. When the vehicle has traveled the second 1 km (i.e., the current cumulative mileage is 2 km), a short distance and its first actual energy consumption value x2 are output... When the vehicle has traveled the tenth 1 km (i.e., the current cumulative mileage is 10 km), a short distance and its first actual energy consumption value x10 are output. At this time, the first 10 km has been traveled (i.e., the current cumulative mileage is 10 km), and a long distance and its second actual energy consumption value y1 are output... And so on. When the vehicle has traveled the hundredth 1 km (i.e., the current cumulative mileage is 100 km), a short distance and its first actual energy consumption value x100 are output. At this time, the tenth 10 km has been traveled (i.e., the current cumulative mileage is 100 km), and a long distance and its second actual energy consumption value y10 are output.

[0095] Assuming the current total accumulated mileage is 100 km, the current vehicle energy consumption can be calculated by obtaining the first actual energy consumption values x90, x91, x92, x93, x94, x95, x96, x97, x98, x99, and x100 for the 90-100 km mileage segment, and the second actual energy consumption values y1-y10 for the first 10 km segment to the tenth 10 km segment (i.e., the current accumulated mileage is 100 km). The actual vehicle average energy consumption is calculated by weighting the ten first actual energy consumption values for each 1 km segment and the ten second actual energy consumption values for each 10 km segment.

[0096] Specifically, a weighted calculation is performed based on the first actual energy consumption values x90-x100 and the second actual energy consumption values y1-y10 to obtain the actual average energy consumption of the entire vehicle. The calculation formula is as follows: Actual average energy consumption of the entire vehicle = (x90+x91+x92+x93+x94+x95+x96+x97+x98+x99+x100)*w1 / 10+(y1+y2+y3+y4+y5+y6+y7+y8+y9+y10)*w2 / 10. Where w1 and w2 are weight coefficients. The weight coefficients w1 and w2 of the weighted calculation can be set according to actual conditions, for example, w1 = 0.3, w2 = 0.7, etc.

[0097] Finally, the actual average energy consumption of the entire vehicle calculated above can be determined as the current vehicle energy consumption value.

[0098] The current charging efficiency of the vehicle is calculated based on the second slow charging calculation strategy and the current vehicle energy consumption value. Specifically, the current charging efficiency of the vehicle can be calculated according to formula (13) or (14).

[0099]

[0100] In formula (13), U 13 Indicates the current charging voltage of the vehicle in the comprehensive working condition endurance mode; I 13 Indicates the current charging current of the vehicle in the comprehensive working condition endurance mode; P compre1 Indicates the current vehicle energy consumption value under comprehensive working conditions and two-wheel drive mode; P compreslow1 Indicates the current charging efficiency under comprehensive operating conditions and two-wheel drive mode, in km / min.

[0101]

[0102] In formula (14), U 14 Indicates the current charging voltage of the vehicle in the comprehensive working condition endurance mode; I 14 Indicates the current charging current of the vehicle in the comprehensive working condition endurance mode; P compre2 Indicates the current vehicle energy consumption value under comprehensive working conditions and four-wheel drive mode; P compreslow2 Indicates the current charging efficiency under comprehensive operating conditions and four-wheel drive mode, in km / min.

[0103] If the current endurance type is comprehensive operating condition endurance and the current charging status signal is slow charging mode, the target calculation strategy is the second fast charging calculation strategy. Based on the second fast charging calculation strategy and the current vehicle energy consumption value, the current charging efficiency of the vehicle is calculated. Specifically, the current charging efficiency of the vehicle can be calculated according to formula (15) or (16).

[0104]

[0105] In formula (15), U 15 Indicates the current charging voltage of the vehicle in the comprehensive working condition endurance mode; I 15 Indicates the current charging current of the vehicle in the comprehensive working condition endurance mode; P compre3 Indicates the current vehicle energy consumption value under comprehensive working conditions and two-wheel drive mode; P comprequick1 Indicates the current charging efficiency under comprehensive operating conditions and two-wheel drive mode, in km / h.

[0106]

[0107] In formula (16), U 16 Indicates the current charging voltage of the vehicle in the comprehensive working condition endurance mode; I 16 Indicates the current charging current of the vehicle in the comprehensive working condition endurance mode; P compre4 Indicates the current vehicle energy consumption value under comprehensive working conditions and four-wheel drive mode; P comprequick2 Indicates the current charging efficiency under comprehensive operating conditions and four-wheel drive mode, in km / h.

[0108] The technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application can determine the charging calculation strategy selected under different endurance types, different vehicle driving modes, and different charging states through the above-mentioned method, and further calculate the corresponding charging efficiency based on the charging calculation strategy, and display the charging efficiency (that is, the real-time display of the number of endurance miles that can be increased by charging per minute (hour)) on the charging display interface, so that the user can intuitively know the specific charging time and the increase in vehicle endurance in the process of driving from the current location to the next location in a certain period of time in the future. At the same time, it can provide a reliable decision-making basis for the user to decide when to end the charging behavior, thereby improving the user's driving experience.

[0109] In a preferred embodiment of the present application, in order to ensure smooth data display, the current value is updated for calculation only when the current jump is greater than 1A and lasts for more than 1s, so as to avoid data jumping back and forth and affecting the user experience.

[0110] In an embodiment of the present application, the charging information on the charging display interface can be updated once every 1 second so that the user can promptly learn about the current charging efficiency and other information.

[0111] In some embodiments, before the above step S103, the following steps are further included:

[0112] The historical driving data of the vehicle is obtained, and the historical driving data includes a set of historical driving trajectories. Based on the set of historical driving trajectories, the target location that the user wants to drive to in the future is predicted.

[0113] The historical driving data generally refers to the driving record data of the user's vehicle trips in the recent period (for example, the last 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, or 6 months). The driving record data can be obtained from the historical driving records recorded by the vehicle, or by retrieving the historical driving records corresponding to the vehicle from a remote server.

[0114] Future time refers to any time after the current time. For example, the current time is 10:25 on xx / xx / 20xx. Any time can be a time after 10:25 on xx / xx / 20xx, such as 12:35 on xx / xx / 20xx.

[0115] A historical driving trajectory collection includes multiple historical driving trajectories, each of which includes multiple driving path nodes and a node flow sequence. Driving path nodes are typically locations where a user's vehicle passes and remains for more than a preset duration. The preset duration can be flexibly set based on actual circumstances, for example, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, etc.

[0116] Based on historical driving trajectories, predict the target location that the user wants to drive to in the future. The specific steps include the following:

[0117] First, the distance values between the vehicle's current position and each driving path node on each historical driving trajectory are calculated respectively; then, the target driving path node closest to the vehicle's current position is determined based on the distance values, and the historical driving trajectory where the target driving path node is located is determined as the target historical driving trajectory; finally, based on the node flow sequence of the target historical driving trajectory, the next driving path node of the target driving path node is determined, and the next driving path node is determined as the target position.

[0118] Combine Figure 2 As an example, assume that the historical driving trajectory set includes three historical driving trajectories, labeled as historical driving trajectories A, B, and C. Among them, historical driving trajectory A includes four driving path nodes, labeled as A1, A2, A3, and A4, and the node flow order is A1→A2→A3→A4. Historical driving trajectory B includes three driving path nodes, labeled as B1, B2, and B3, and the node flow order is B1→B2→B3. Historical driving trajectory C includes three driving path nodes, labeled as C1, C2, and C3, and the node flow order is C1→C2→C3. Assuming that the vehicle is at the current position M, the distance value between the current position M and each driving path node on the historical driving trajectories A, B, and C is calculated respectively. That is, the distance value d between the current position M and the driving path nodes A1, A2, A3, A4, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, and C3 is calculated respectively. MA1 d MA2 d MA3 d MA4 d MB1 d MB2 d MB3 d MC1 d MC2 d MC3Then, compare the distance values mentioned above and determine the minimum distance value. If the minimum distance value obtained after comparison is d MB2 , the target driving path node closest to the vehicle's current location M can be determined to be B2, and the historical driving trajectory B where B2 is located can be determined as the target historical driving trajectory. Finally, based on the node flow sequence of historical driving trajectory B, the next driving path node after driving path node B2 can be determined to be driving path node B3, and driving path node B3 can be determined as the target location.

[0119] In some embodiments, if the minimum distance value obtained after comparison is the last path node in a historical driving trajectory, such as path node B3, and there is no next path node after path node B3, the path node corresponding to the minimum distance value is discarded, and the search continues for the second-to-last minimum distance value...the nth-to-last minimum distance value, repeating the above steps until the target location is determined. Where n = the total number of path nodes.

[0120] In some embodiments, the historical driving data also includes historical driving time, which includes the time the vehicle spends stopping at each driving path node. Determining the target driving path node closest to the vehicle's current location based on the distance value includes the following steps:

[0121] First, driving path nodes whose distance values from the vehicle's current position fall within a preset distance range are classified into a set of alternative driving path nodes, where the set of alternative driving path nodes includes at least one alternative driving path node. Then, the current time of the vehicle at the current position is obtained. Finally, a target driving path node is selected from the set of alternative driving path nodes based on the current time and the driving stop time of the alternative driving path nodes.

[0122] The preset distance range can be flexibly set according to actual conditions. For example, it can be within 1 meter, within 5 meters, etc., and is not specifically limited here.

[0123] Driving stop time can be understood as the time it takes for a vehicle to reach a certain driving path node.

[0124] Combined with the above examples, continue to refer to Figure 2, assuming that the driving path nodes that meet the preset distance range are driving path nodes A1, A2, B2, and C1, then the driving path nodes A1, A2, B2, and C1 are all classified into the set of alternative driving path nodes. The current time at the current location can be collected by the vehicle end, or the current time of the vehicle at the current location can be determined by a terminal device (such as a mobile phone, computer, etc.) and sent to the vehicle end. Then, the time difference between the current time and the driving stop time corresponding to the driving path nodes A1, A2, B2, and C1 is compared, and the driving path node closest to the current time is found as the target driving path node. Assuming that the driving path node closest to the current time is C1, then the driving path node C1 is used as the target driving path node.

[0125] In other embodiments, a time range value may be pre-set. The time difference between the vehicle's current time at the current location and the stop time at each path node in each historical path in the historical path set is calculated. At least one candidate path node whose time difference falls within the time range value is selected. Then, from these candidate path nodes, the one with the smallest distance to the current location is selected as the target path node.

[0126] Combine Figure 2 As an example, the time difference T between the current time of the vehicle at the current position M and the time of the vehicle stopping at the nodes A1, A2, A3, A4, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2, and C3 on the driving path is calculated respectively. MA1 、T MA2 、T MA3 、T MA4 、T MB1 、T MB2 、T MB3 、T MC1 、T MC2 、T MC3 If the time difference T MA1 、T MA2 、T MB2 、T MC1 If the time intervals are all within the preset time range, the driving path nodes A1, A2, B2, and C1 are determined as candidate driving path nodes. Then, the distance values d between the current position M and the driving path nodes A1, A2, B2, and C1 are calculated respectively. MA1 d MA2 d MB2 d MC1 If the minimum distance value obtained after comparison is d MB2 , then the candidate driving path node B2 is determined as the target driving path node.
