After payment is completed, the charging pile is powered on to charge the electric bicycle. Card swiping payment requires the electric bicycle owner to pre-process a specific pre-charged integrated circuit (IC) card at the charging pile operator, and then use the IC card to swipe the card in the card reader area of the charging pile for payment, which is similar to the principle of the bus card system.

[0089] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the charging pile structure provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0090] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0091] This invention addresses the problems of low success rate of QR code scanning and wasted or insufficient charging time in existing payment methods by providing a charging payment method, device, and charging pile.

[0092] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a charging payment method applied to a first charging pile, the method comprising:

[0093] Step 101: If the insertion of the first power adapter is detected, pair with the first power adapter.

[0094] It should be noted that the charging payment method provided in this embodiment of the invention is applicable to the field of electric bicycle charging.

[0095] In the field of electric bicycle charging, the charging payment method provided in this embodiment of the invention mainly involves the modification of charging piles, charging pile back-end service systems, and electric bicycle power adapters. The electric bicycles themselves are ordinary electric bicycles and do not require modification.

[0096] The charging pile requires power adapter insertion detection capability, in addition, the charging pile and the power adapter have communication capability, the charging pile has power adapter insertion detection capability, after the first charging pile detects that the first power adapter is inserted, the first charging pile provides temporary power supply for the power adapter, then the first charging pile and the first power adapter communicate, according to the interactive communication information, the first charging pile and the first power adapter are paired.

[0097] Step 102: in the case of successful matching with the first power adapter, charging the first power adapter.

[0098] In this step, in the case of successful pairing of the first charging pile and the first power adapter, the first charging pile can normally supply power, and charge the electric bicycle through the first power adapter.

[0099] During the charging process, the first power adapter can periodically feed back the charging state information to the first charging pile, which includes trickle charging information, constant current charging information, constant voltage charging information, charging termination information, etc., which facilitates the optimization of charging big data in the later stage.

[0100] Step 103: according to the determined fee settlement mode, determining the target payment fee after charging is completed.

[0101] In this step, after charging is completed, the target payment fee to be paid is settled according to the determined fee settlement mode, which can avoid the problems of waste of charging time length or insufficient charging time length caused by purchasing charging time length before charging.

[0102] Step 104: according to the target payment fee, obtaining the charging fee paid through the first power adapter.

[0103] After the first charging pile determines the target payment fee, the first charging pile can directly obtain the charging fee paid by the first power adapter, that is, the first charging pile can realize the completion of charging fee settlement and charging fee payment through the first power adapter, without the participation of the vehicle owner, avoiding the problem of low code scanning success rate, and effectively improving the use experience.

[0104] Optionally, before the pairing with the first power adapter, the method further comprises:

[0105] sending control information to the second charging pile, the control information being used to instruct the second charging pile to stop energizing the second power adapter inserted into the second charging pile within a preset time length;

[0106] The second charging pile is a charging pile that is less than a preset distance away from the first charging pile and is not in a charging state.

[0107] It should be noted that in actual applications, multiple charging piles are often arranged in a centralized manner with a spacing of 1-3 meters. In some cases, when the charging pile and the power adapter perform wireless communication, the pairing between the charging pile and the power adapter may be wrong, that is, when one or more adapters are inserted into different charging piles at the same time or with a very short interval, due to the characteristics of wireless communication sharing a propagation space and the non-directional broadcast communication mode of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), the phenomenon of misplacement of communication objects may occur between multiple charging piles and multiple power adapters that are triggered (insertion detection), for example, the power adapter A inserted into the charging pile A is paired with the charging pile B, but the power adapter B inserted into the charging pile B is matched with the charging pile A. This situation may cause two power adapters to pay wrong charging fees. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, for a charging pile cluster that is deployed in a centralized manner and communicates with a power adapter in a wireless communication manner, all charging piles are required to have real-time communication capability. When the first charging pile in the charging pile cluster detects that the first power adapter is inserted, the first charging pile sends control information to other charging piles (second charging piles) in the charging pile cluster except for the charging pile that has entered the charging state. The control information is used to control the second charging pile to not allow the second power adapter inserted into the second charging pile to be temporarily powered on within a preset time period, that is, within the preset time period, after the second charging pile detects that the second power adapter is inserted, the second charging pile waits and does not allow the second power adapter to charge, and enters a locked state. Until the first charging pile and the first power adapter complete pairing, the second charging pile can continue to work and match with the second power adapter.

[0108] The charging pile cluster is a plurality of charging piles that are a preset distance away from the first charging pile. The preset time period is a time period during which the first charging pile and the first power adapter are paired.

[0109] The embodiment can avoid conflicts in a wireless communication scenario.

[0110] Optionally, the pairing with the first power adapter includes:

[0111] Powering on the first power adapter;

[0112] Performing communication with the first power adapter;

[0113] sending first handshake information to the first power adapter, and receiving second handshake information sent by the first power adapter; the first handshake information comprises an identity of the first charging pile and a first cryptographic algorithm supported by the first charging pile; the second handshake information comprises an identity of the first power adapter and a second cryptographic algorithm supported by the first power adapter;

[0114] performing identity authentication according to the first handshake information, the second handshake information, and a target cryptographic algorithm; the target cryptographic algorithm is determined according to the first cryptographic algorithm and the second cryptographic algorithm;

[0115] after the identity authentication succeeds, determining that the first charging pile and the first power adapter are successfully matched.

[0116] Specifically, the process of pairing the first charging pile and the first power adapter comprises:

[0117] After the first charging pile detects that the first power adapter is inserted, the first charging pile temporarily powers on the first power adapter, the first charging pile and the first power adapter perform communication, after determining the communication mode between the first charging pile and the first power adapter, the two perform handshake, that is, the first charging pile and the first power adapter exchange handshake information including identity (Identity document, ID) supported cryptographic algorithm, after the handshake is completed, both sides perform identity authentication, the target cryptographic algorithm used for identity authentication is determined based on the above handshake information, that is, the target cryptographic algorithm is a cryptographic algorithm supported by both, according to the target cryptographic algorithm and the IDs of the two, identity authentication is performed, after the identity authentication succeeds, the first charging pile and the first power adapter are successfully paired.

[0118] Preferably, the cryptographic algorithm can be a message authentication code algorithm (Message Authentication Code, MAC) based on symmetric encryption, or a digital signature algorithm based on asymmetric encryption.

[0119] Optionally, the method further comprises:

[0120] when the first condition is met, stopping powering on the first power adapter;

[0121] The first condition comprises at least one of the following:

[0122] the first power adapter cannot be communicated with;

[0123] the first power adapter cannot be sent the first handshake information;

[0124] the first power adapter cannot receive the second handshake information sent by the first power adapter;

[0125] The identity authentication fails according to the first handshake information, the second handshake information and the target password algorithm.

[0126] Further, if any of the following steps fails, the first charging pile closes the temporary power supply to the first power adapter: the first charging pile and the first power adapter communicate with each other, the first charging pile and the first power adapter perform handshake, or the first charging pile and the first power adapter perform identity authentication.

[0127] Optionally, the communication between the first charging pile and the first power adapter comprises:

[0128] The first charging pile and the first power adapter communicate with each other through a power line communication (PLC) mode.

[0129] In a case where the communication between the first charging pile and the first power adapter through the PLC mode fails, the first charging pile and the first power adapter communicate with each other through a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) communication mode.

[0130] It should be noted that the first charging pile and the first power adapter should have a communication capability, such as a power line communication (PLC) capability (wired communication) or a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) communication capability (wireless communication). Since the PLC communication module has a high cost, preferably, the first charging pile supports both the PLC communication and the BLE communication, or only supports the BLE communication, and the first power adapter only needs to support one of the PLC communication and the BLE communication.

[0131] Specifically, the process of the communication between the first charging pile and the first power adapter is as follows: if the first charging pile supports the PLC communication, the first charging pile preferentially attempts to communicate with the first power adapter through the PLC mode. At this time, if the first power adapter also supports the PLC communication, the first charging pile and the first power adapter communicate with each other through the PLC mode. If the first power adapter does not respond, it is possible that the first power adapter only supports the BLE communication mode, and then the first charging pile communicates with the first power adapter through the BLE communication mode.

[0132] Optionally, before the target payment fee is determined according to the determined fee settlement mode after the charging is completed, the method further comprises:

[0133] The fee settlement mode is determined.

[0134] After the first charging pile and the first power adapter are successfully paired, the first charging pile and the first power adapter negotiate the fee settlement mode before the target payment fee is settled.

[0135] Optionally, the determining the fee settlement mode comprises:

[0136] In a case that the first charging pile has a time metering function or the first power adapter has a time metering function, the determining the fee settlement mode comprises settling according to a charging time length.

[0137] In a case that the first charging pile has an electric quantity metering function or the first power adapter has an electric quantity metering function, the determining the fee settlement mode comprises settling according to a charging electric quantity.

[0138] In a case that the first charging pile has both the time metering function and the electric quantity metering function or the first power adapter has both the time metering function and the electric quantity metering function, the determining the fee settlement mode comprises settling according to the charging time length and settling according to the charging electric quantity.

[0139] The fee settlement mode between the first charging pile and the first power adapter comprises settling according to the charging time length and / or settling according to the charging electric quantity.

[0140] It should be noted that in a case that the first charging pile or the first power adapter has only the time metering function, the fee settlement mode is settling according to the charging time length; in a case that the first charging pile or the first power adapter has only the electric quantity metering function, the fee settlement mode is settling according to the charging electric quantity; in a case that the first charging pile or the first power adapter has both the time metering function and the electric quantity metering function, the fee settlement mode is settling according to the charging time length and settling according to the charging electric quantity.

[0141] After the charging is completed, the first charging pile and the first power adapter settle the charging fee, if settling according to the charging time length, the unit charging time length can be accurate to minutes, if settling according to the charging electric quantity, the unit charging electric quantity can be accurate to 0.01 kilowatt hours, so as to complete the fine settlement.

[0142] Optionally, in a case that the fee settlement mode comprises settling according to the charging time length and settling according to the charging electric quantity, the determining the target payment fee according to the determined fee settlement mode after the charging is completed comprises:

[0143] determining a first payment fee according to the charging time length according to a charging start time, a charging completion end time and a preset unit time charging fee;

[0144] determining a second charging fee according to the charging electric quantity and a preset unit electric quantity charging fee according to the charging electric quantity;

[0145] determining the target payment fee as a fee of a smaller one of the first charging fee and the second charging fee.

[0146] It should be noted that, since the charging current and the charging voltage are different at different charging stages, that is, the charging amount is different at different charging stages, therefore, in the case that the fee settlement mode includes settlement by charging time and settlement by charging amount, the payment fees obtained by settlement by charging time and settlement by charging amount are different, and considering economic factors, the target payment fee is selected as the one with less fee between the first payment fee determined by settlement by charging time and the second charging fee determined by settlement by charging amount.

[0147] Optionally, the first power adapter is a power adapter that is not connected to the first charging pile.

[0148] The first charging pile and the second chip inside the first power adapter are used to obtain the charging fee paid by the first power adapter in an offline payment manner.

[0149] Or,

[0150] The first charging pile and the second chip inside the first power adapter are used to obtain the charging fee paid by the first power adapter in an offline payment manner.

[0151] After the first charging pile settles the target payment fee, the first power adapter pays the first charging pile, and the payment manner can be offline payment or online payment.

[0152] The offline payment manner requires that the first charging pile is internally provided with a second security chip and pre-stored with digital currency or equivalent virtual currency, the first charging pile is internally provided with a first security chip, and the first security chip can modify the balance in the second security chip to complete the payment deduction operation.

[0153] The online payment manner is to pay the first cloud account corresponding to the first charging pile through the second cloud account corresponding to the first power adapter, and the first power adapter and the first charging pile need to have real-time networking capability.

[0154] The charging payment method provided by the embodiment of the application does not require the participation of the vehicle owner (person) in the entire payment process, and the charging pile and the power adapter can automatically settle and pay the fee; and supports fine settlement in the fee settlement process and supports offline payment when paying the fee; the charging payment method provided by the embodiment of the application is highly feasible, first, only the charging pile and the adapter need to be modified, second, the charging pile can support two types of communication modes, PLC wired communication mode and BLE wireless communication mode, and the compatibility is strong, and the power adapter side can only support BLE wireless communication, and the cost is low.

[0160] In the embodiments of the present application, the first power adapter is detected to be inserted, and pairing with the first power adapter is performed. After the pairing is successful, the first charging pile charges the first power adapter. According to the determined fee settlement mode, the target payment fee is determined after the charging is completed. That is, the target payment fee is determined according to the determined fee settlement mode only after the charging is completed, so that the problem of waste of charging time or insufficient charging time can be avoided.
