[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

For example, "A and / or B" can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, or B exists alone. Furthermore, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the related objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0024] In the present disclosure, a technical solution for a charging and battery swapping method and a shared battery swapping device applicable to batteries of different models from different manufacturers on the market is provided, which effectively avoids the problem of incompatibility of batteries from different manufacturers in different cities, avoids market chaos and the phenomenon of self-proclaimed systems, effectively promotes the standardization of battery cabinets, facilitates the connection between upstream and downstream supply chains, and greatly increases the convenience and safety of end users.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 The first aspect of the present invention is described with reference to a flowchart of a shared battery swapping method shown in FIG. 1 , which provides a shared battery swapping method comprising the following steps:

[0026] S1: Get the battery information of the inserted battery;

[0027] The battery information includes: the battery number, charging conditions, placement status, charging voltage, charging current, single cell voltage, power, technical parameters, remaining power, and damage status.

[0028] The first step is to determine whether the battery is in place. If it is, proceed to the next step; if it is not, an alarm signal will be issued to remind the user to re-place it; if it has not been placed in place, the information of non-placement will be retained and fed back to the supplier. The supplier can call nearby maintenance personnel to handle it, determine whether the interface is faulty, whether the battery swap cabinet is damaged, etc., and perform manual repairs.

[0029] S2: Match the corresponding supplier according to the battery number;

[0030] Retrieving a matching list of the battery number and the supplier, and after determining the corresponding supplier, retrieving the battery replacement rules or charging rules corresponding to the supplier's battery;

[0031] The battery replacement rules are for the operation of replacing the battery, putting down the battery, and taking away another battery, including: the number of replacements, battery replacement fees, battery replacement users, and settlement methods;

[0032] The charging rule is for charging the battery and removing the battery after the battery is fully charged, and includes: charging voltage, charging current, charging capacity, and charging time.

[0033] Before the battery enters the battery swap cabinet for the first time, different identification fields need to be defined according to different suppliers. For example, the battery code of supplier A is AAAA, and the battery code of supplier B is BBBB. These fields are entered into the management system of the battery swap cabinet, and the battery information is stored in the battery management system. When the battery is inserted into the battery swap cabinet, the battery information can be identified and uploaded to the management system based on the communication between the battery swap cabinet and the battery. The system background identifies the supplier through the identification field, and then retrieves the battery swap rules or charging rules of different suppliers.

[0034] S3: Sending the battery information to the corresponding supplier;

[0035] The supplier's management end receives the battery information and determines the corresponding charging and swapping request based on the battery information; the supplier determines the charging and swapping request and issues the charging and swapping response.

[0036] The battery information structure can be refined to the definition of information fields, general fields, supplier ID, device ID, technical parameter information, charging strategy information, etc. Specifically, it can include: identification of battery ID, supplier ID, battery model (48V\60V\70V, etc.), battery power, current, voltage, single-cell voltage, battery charge times, battery cycles, battery health, battery failure history, battery temperature and other battery-related information.

[0037] The charging and battery swapping request is a request sent by the supplier to determine whether to charge or swap the battery based on the battery information. Specifically: For example, if supplier A needs to use a 48V battery for charging and swapping, the system needs to automatically match the corresponding charging and swapping rules based on the inserted battery model. If it is not a 48V battery, the system will prompt that it does not comply with the charging and swapping rules of merchant A, and then send a response of neither battery swapping nor charging to the battery swapping cabinet, and perform neither battery swapping nor charging operations to ensure the safety of supplier A's assets. If it is a matching 48V battery, a charging response is sent to the battery swapping cabinet, and the battery swapping cabinet charges according to the matching current sent by this battery. The supplier can also make judgments based on other information. For example, according to the damage of the battery, a maintenance instruction is issued. The battery swapping cabinet locks the cabinet door according to the maintenance instruction and waits for maintenance personnel to replace and repair it.

[0038] S4: After receiving the corresponding charging and swapping response from the supplier, matching the charging and swapping strategy corresponding to the supplier to charge or swap the battery;

[0039] According to the charging and battery replacement response matching the corresponding charging and battery replacement strategy, the battery is charged or replaced, and the charging data or battery replacement data is recorded at the same time; the charging data includes: initial power, charging amount, voltage, current, single-cell voltage, and power; the battery replacement data includes: battery replacement sequence number, battery replacement number, battery replacement user, and battery replacement fee.

[0040] The charging and battery swapping strategy includes a charging strategy and a battery swapping strategy, wherein the charging strategy includes a priority strategy and a charging mode strategy. Specifically, the priority strategy is a strategy that determines the priority of charging and battery swapping based on supplier level, user level, battery level, settlement method, charging and battery swapping time and location, and charging amount; the charging mode test is to determine which charging mode to adopt based on the battery capacity, life and performance, such as the constant current followed by constant voltage mode, activation mode, etc.

[0041] According to the above implementation, the constant current followed by constant voltage mode is divided into the following three stages:

[0042] Pre-charge stage: After the DC power supply is turned on, when the battery is detected, the charging chip starts and enters the pre-charge process. During this period, the charging controller charges the battery with a small current to restore the battery voltage and temperature to normal;

[0043] Constant current charging stage: In the initial stage of charging, the charging circuit charges the lithium-ion battery with a constant current. Generally, most lithium batteries use a standard charging rate. During constant current charging, the battery voltage will rise slowly. Once the battery voltage reaches the set termination voltage, the constant current charging is terminated and the constant voltage charging process begins.

[0044] Constant voltage charging stage: During the constant voltage charging process, the charging current gradually decays. When the charging current is detected to be below the set value, or the full charge time is exceeded, the battery enters the top cut-off charging mode. At this time, the charging controller replenishes the battery with a very small charging current. Under normal circumstances, this process can extend the battery life by 5% to 10%. In the above charging method, in order to avoid excessive current and excessive battery temperature, a smaller charging current is usually used in the constant current stage, and the charging efficiency is not high. In order to improve the charging efficiency, the variable current charging method can be used.

[0045] According to the above implementation, the activation mode is: the idle state of the battery is judged according to the battery charging time and power, and activation charging is directly issued to ensure that the idle battery is always in a certain power state, to ensure that the battery will not be scrapped due to long-term power loss; at the same time, the charging time can be controlled according to the charging time, and too long or too short will affect the use. Lithium-ion batteries have a bad characteristic, that is, lithium-ion batteries have time aging. After a period of storage, even if the lithium-ion battery is not recycled, part of its capacity will be permanently lost. This is because the positive and negative electrode materials of the lithium-ion battery have begun the process of exhaustion since leaving the factory. Different battery charging states have different time aging consequences. The more fully charged the battery is, the greater the capacity loss. Therefore, for lithium battery packs that are about to be idle, it is recommended to charge them at a level of 40% of the storage capacity, and the power can be maintained by uploading the real-time power to the battery swap cabinet.

[0046] Battery swap strategies include the three-dimensional strategy and the waiting strategy. Specifically, the three-dimensional strategy is that the user places the battery into the battery swap cabinet and then takes away another battery of the same model and manufacturer; the waiting strategy is that the user places the battery into the battery swap cabinet, waits for charging, and after it is fully charged, takes away the same battery according to the user's needs.

[0047] According to the above-mentioned implementation mode, the voltage difference of the battery is judged according to the voltage of a single battery cell, and the voltage difference of the battery can be balanced through the battery management system to stabilize the battery in a relatively stable voltage difference. The battery is shallowly charged and discharged according to the battery power to avoid overcharging and over-discharging: When using lithium iron phosphate batteries, you should try to avoid charging to a voltage exceeding its rated voltage or discharging to a low battery power. These situations can be completely avoided by using this shared battery replacement method.

[0048] By charging according to the charging and battery swapping strategies of different suppliers, and relying on the battery swapping cabinet's management system to share information with suppliers before charging, compatibility of batteries from different suppliers is achieved. As long as the battery shape and charging connector are the same, charging or battery swapping can be achieved in the battery swapping cabinet. Batteries from different suppliers are different, and they are unified through the battery swapping cabinet, which reduces competition between suppliers, centrally manages batteries, improves safety performance, and is convenient for users to use. There will be no battery swapping cabinets from different brands at the same time, which reduces the supplier's cost expenditure and provides a quality standard for electric vehicle batteries, facilitating the development of the industry.

[0049] S5: After charging or battery replacement is completed, the charging data or battery replacement data is fed back to the corresponding supplier.

[0050] According to the above-mentioned embodiment, after the supplier receives the charging data or the battery replacement data, the supplier manages and maintains the battery according to the charging data or the battery replacement data, thereby realizing information sharing with the supplier.

[0051] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the following technical effects are achieved:

[0052] The operators and battery suppliers of battery swap cabinets have realized the sharing of charging and swapping information, making users' usage visible and digitized, thus avoiding cooperation differences and making cost calculation transparent. At the same time, once multiple operators unify the shared battery swap method, there will be a unified implementation standard for the entire battery and battery swap cabinet industry chain, such as battery companies, electric vehicle companies, and battery swap cabinet companies. Different provinces and cities can also directly share batteries, greatly improving the convenience and safety of end users.

[0053] It should be noted that for the aforementioned method embodiments, for simplicity of description, they are all expressed as a series of action combinations, but those skilled in the art should be aware that the present disclosure is not limited by the order of the actions described, because according to the present disclosure, certain steps can be performed in other orders or simultaneously. Secondly, those skilled in the art should also be aware that the embodiments described in the specification are all optional embodiments, and the actions and modules involved are not necessarily required by the present disclosure.

[0054] The above is an introduction to the method embodiment. The following is a further explanation of the solution disclosed in the present disclosure through an apparatus embodiment.

[0055] Reference Figure 2 The block diagram of the shared power exchange device 200 shown in FIG. 1 is used to describe the second aspect of the present invention, which provides a shared power exchange device 200, including:

[0056] An acquisition module 210 is used to acquire battery information of an installed battery;

[0057] Matching module 220, used for matching corresponding suppliers according to battery serial number;

[0058] A sending module 230, configured to send the battery information to the corresponding supplier;

[0059] The charging module 240 is configured to receive a charging / swapping response from the corresponding supplier, match the charging / swapping strategy corresponding to the supplier, and charge or swap the battery;

[0060] The feedback module 250 is used to feed back the charging data or battery replacement data to the corresponding supplier after charging or battery replacement is completed.

[0061] During the charging process, the battery and the charging module 240 are in real-time communication. The charging module 240 reads the working data of each cell in the battery in real time and can stop charging when the battery fails or a safety hazard occurs to avoid accidents or escalations.

[0062] The shared battery swap device 200 is also equipped with a battery management system. The charging module and the battery management system cooperate to perform charging. The entire charging process includes five stages: physical connection completion, battery detection stage, charging parameter configuration stage, charging stage and charging end stage;

[0063] Physical connection stage: First, the battery base to be charged is connected to the connection base in the battery compartment to determine whether the battery is connected in place. If it is in place, the battery base is connected to the charging module; if it is not in place, an alarm signal will be issued to remind the user to re-place it; if it has not been placed in place, the information of the incomplete placement will be retained and fed back to the supplier. The supplier can call nearby maintenance personnel to handle it, determine whether the interface is faulty, whether the battery swap cabinet is damaged, etc., and perform manual repairs.

[0064] Battery detection phase: The charging module performs communication detection on the battery, while the charging base connects to the battery management system to monitor the load. If the communication and load are normal, the battery version information and basic battery information are obtained, and the auxiliary charging module performs authentication. After successful authentication, the charge and discharge MOS is closed; charging mode starts charging; if the communication is abnormal, pre-charging is performed, and after waiting for 35 seconds, the battery version information is read again and communication detection is performed again;

[0065] The basic information of the battery can be refined to the definition of information fields, general fields, supplier ID, device ID, technical parameter information, etc. Specifically, it can include: identification of battery ID, supplier ID, battery model (48V\60V\70V, etc.), battery power, current, voltage, single-cell voltage, battery charge times, battery cycles, battery health, charging conditions, placement status, charging voltage, charging current, single-cell voltage, power, technical parameters, remaining power, damage status, battery failure history, battery temperature and other battery-related information.

[0066] Parameter configuration stage: The charging module communicates with the battery management system in real time. The battery management system obtains battery charging information, determines the charging strategy and whether to charge. The battery management system obtains battery charging demand information and assists in setting voltage and current parameters. After the charging module configures the voltage and current parameters to be normal, it sets the power output for charging.

[0067] Charging stage: During the charging process, the battery and the charging module are in communication. The battery management system reads the battery status information to enable the charging module to charge normally. The battery management system reads the battery charging status information to determine when to stop charging. At the same time, the battery management system reads the battery charging demand information and other battery information in real time to determine and adjust the power output until the battery is fully charged.

[0068] Charging end stage: The charging module stops outputting power and enters the battery status detection state; the battery management system disconnects the charging and discharging MOS and enters the idle state.

[0069] For batteries of different materials, different voltages, different capacities, and different brands and models, the charging module 240 charges the battery by dynamically adjusting the output mode according to the current state of the battery and the charging strategy formulated by the battery itself; through the data transmitted to the charging module 240, through various judgment conditions, it judges possible abnormal conditions of charging and adopts different strategies, including stopping charging, locking and recycling the battery, suspending charging, starting fire protection, etc.

[0070] Those skilled in the art can clearly understand that, for the convenience and brevity of description, the specific working process of the described module can refer to the corresponding process in the aforementioned method embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0071] The third aspect of the present invention provides a battery exchange cabinet that adopts the above-mentioned shared battery exchange device to execute the above-mentioned shared battery exchange method.

[0072] Specifically, a fire-fighting system is installed in the battery swap cabinet, and the mode is a single-compartment water-based flooding fire extinguishing method, which can effectively solve the fire safety problem caused by battery thermal runaway; the battery swap cabinet is provided with multiple battery compartments, and each battery compartment is provided with a charging connector, which is charged after contact with the placed battery; by setting a monitoring unit in the battery compartment, multiple monitoring units are integrated into a complete battery health status monitoring system to monitor the battery charging and swapping conditions and fault conditions in real time; at the same time, information is shared with suppliers through monitoring units and shared charging devices, and serious safety risks such as battery thermal runaway are predicted in advance according to the charging and discharging strategies provided by the suppliers. The prediction advance time can be more than 2 days, which can achieve early prevention of high-risk accidents such as fires caused by batteries during charging; at the same time, through precise monitoring sensors, dangerous information such as thermal runaway of the battery pack is captured in real time. Combined with the fire-fighting system inside the battery swap cabinet, the battery pack is flooded with water-based fire extinguishing agents to cool the battery pack and block thermal runaway, thereby effectively eliminating fire hazards.
