[0040] To ensure clarity and brevity in the description of the following embodiments, a brief introduction to the implementation of a charging control system for a mobile battery swapping station and a commonly used battery swapping station system is first given:
[0041] In recent years, the development of new energy vehicles has strongly promoted the growth of the market for battery-swapping heavy-duty trucks and their supporting battery-swapping stations. Battery swapping for electric heavy-duty trucks can be divided into two modes: fixed battery swapping and mobile battery swapping. With the rise of battery swapping services for pure electric heavy-duty trucks, the demand for small-batch battery swapping for various micro-truck fleets is also rapidly increasing. To efficiently solve the problems of slow construction speed and high construction thresholds of existing battery swapping stations, mobile battery swapping stations have emerged. Mobile battery swapping stations can temporarily replace fixed battery swapping stations in application scenarios with low battery swapping demand, compensating for the long construction cycle and high cost of fixed battery swapping stations. However, with the development of mobile battery swapping stations, shortcomings have also emerged, such as cumbersome order settlement and large data discrepancies in battery swapping orders. Commonly used charging control schemes for mobile battery swapping stations include at least two options: Option 1: The battery pack has a GB / T2015 (one interface type) DC charging interface, and the charging gun of the external charging station can be directly plugged into the battery pack for charging, with the charging station controlling the charging. Option 2: The battery pack does not have a GB / T2015 DC charging interface; it is charged via an adapter (i.e., an electrical connector to a GB / T charging socket) using an external charging station, with the charging station controlling the charging. Based on Options 1 and 2, it is clear that charging control in both schemes is handled by the external charging station, and the charging data is centralized on the charging station's platform. The battery swapping station's own platform (station control) cannot directly access this data, which presents difficulties for settling battery swapping orders. Commonly used charging control systems primarily rely on the charger to control the guiding circuitry to complete the charging function. The guiding circuitry refers to the internal control and guidance circuitry. The charger, through internal data processing, uploads charging data to the battery swapping station platform using protocols such as TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) and MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport). For fixed battery swapping stations (which contain chargers), the electrical connectors used to connect the battery and vehicle differ between brands and are not conforming to the national standard charging interface (GB / T2015). Therefore, the charger often needs to adjust some control circuitry and control communication with the BMS (Battery Management System) to achieve charging and battery data acquisition and uploading functions. (Refer to...) Figure 10 , Figure 10This diagram illustrates the charging control system of a common mobile battery swapping station. The charger is divided into three areas: a DC output area, a power module placement area, and an AC configuration and control component area. The control panel within the charger is connected to a router via a network cable, ultimately connecting to the station control host, i.e., the station's control platform. The charger's internal circuitry consists of two charging paths, with one path described below. 380V AC power is supplied to four 30kW modules via a circuit breaker. These four modules are connected to a charging control board and controller via control wiring harnesses, enabling data transmission and control. The four 30kW modules output high-voltage DC power to a meter, which records and outputs the data. This DC power is then supplied to the rechargeable battery via a module containing at least a DC contactor, DC fuse, high-voltage connector, and low-voltage connector. The control principle of these components is the same as commonly used DC charging outputs. Figure 10 It is known that a charger is required to achieve the purpose of charging control. However, mobile battery swapping stations are used in specific application scenarios and do not have chargers installed inside. Due to limitations in mobility and cost, they typically use public charging piles to recharge batteries. Therefore, they are inferior to fixed battery swapping stations in terms of acquiring charging data, battery data, and uploading charging orders to the station control platform. Based on the above, this application proposes a charging control system compatible with mobile battery swapping stations.
[0042] This application discloses a charging control system for a mobile battery swapping station, comprising a station control platform, a switch, a charging monitoring module, and multiple charging harness modules. The station control platform, the switch, and the charging monitoring module are connected sequentially, and the charging monitoring module is connected to each of the charging harness modules. The charging harness modules provide an interface for connecting to a rechargeable battery. The charging monitoring module acquires charging data from the rechargeable battery and determines battery data based on the charging data. The switch transmits the battery data to the station control platform, and the station control platform performs charging control based on the battery data. The mobile battery swapping station's charging control system utilizes a charging harness module to provide an interface for connecting to the rechargeable battery. After connection, a charging monitoring module acquires the battery's charging data and corresponding battery data. Finally, the station's control platform performs charging control based on this data. This avoids the need for a dedicated charger at the swapping station to obtain charging data. The system not only provides an interface for connecting to the rechargeable battery via the charging harness module, enabling charging of batteries with different interface requirements and improving the station's functionality, but also sends the battery's charging data to the station's control platform for charging control without the need for a charger, thus reducing the station's charging control costs.
[0043] This invention proposes a charging control system for a mobile battery swapping station.
[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a charging control system of a mobile battery swapping station according to an embodiment. The charging control system of the mobile battery swapping station includes: a station control platform 10, a switch 20, a charging monitoring module 30, and multiple charging harness modules 40.
[0045] The power station control platform 10, the switch 20 and the charging monitoring module 30 are connected in sequence, and the charging monitoring module 30 is connected to each of the charging harness modules 40 respectively.
[0046] The charging harness module 40 is used to provide an adapter interface and connect to the rechargeable battery; the charging monitoring module 30 is used to acquire the charging data of the rechargeable battery and determine the battery data based on the charging data; the switch 20 is used to transmit the battery data to the power station control platform; and the power station control platform 10 is used to perform charging control according to the battery data.
[0047] In this embodiment, by introducing a charging monitoring module 30 and a charging harness module 40 into the charging control system of the mobile battery swapping station, battery data can be obtained through the charging monitoring module 30 instead of requiring a charger. This significantly reduces the cost of the charging control system. Simultaneously, the charging harness module 40 enables charging of batteries with different interfaces, improving the charging functionality of the mobile battery swapping station's charging control system. The charging harness module 40 provides an adapter interface for connecting to the rechargeable battery; this adapter interface allows for switching between different interfaces, thus adapting to the charging of batteries with different interfaces. The charging monitoring module 30 acquires and determines the battery data, then transmits the battery data to the station control platform 10 via the switch 20, enabling the station control platform 10 to perform charging control based on the battery data. Among them, charging data refers to the data when the battery is charging. Battery data refers to all data of the battery, including at least the data when the battery is charging and not charging. Charging control can be based on the service life, temperature, or temperature detection to prevent damage. It can also analyze battery data to achieve other control methods. In this way, the charging battery that acquires battery data can be controlled without a charger, thus ensuring the cost of using the entire charging control system.
[0048] For example, refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8This is another structural diagram of the charging control system of a mobile battery swapping station. The entire mobile battery swapping station includes the front and rear of the vehicle. Taking the five battery charging positions of this station as an example, each position is equipped with a corresponding charging harness module. Therefore, the mobile charging station with five battery charging positions needs to be equipped with five charging harness modules. Each charging harness module includes at least a base and a charging plug. The base is the connector that connects to the battery. This connector is an adapter that uses different interfaces. The charging plug is the plug that connects to the power supply. There can be two. The connection line between the base and the charging plug is connected to the charging monitoring module 30 through a CAN signal line. The charging monitoring module 30 parses and processes the acquired data (through a specific parsing program, which can be similar to the parsing program of the charger). Then, the data is transmitted to the station control (i.e., the station control platform 10) through a switch via a LAN (Local Area Network) cable or other network transmission method. The station control platform 10 then controls the charging batteries. Because mobile battery swapping stations (without built-in chargers) require the use of public charging piles that cannot be directly connected to the battery for charging, and because no chargers are available at the mobile stations, charging data cannot be directly obtained from the charger side, and due to the mobile nature of the stations, the lack of chargers prevents the use of all charging interfaces. To address these issues, a charging harness module 40 (an adapter converting an electrical connector to a GB / T charging socket) is introduced. This allows for connection using a charging gun even when the battery lacks a GB / T charging interface. A charging monitoring module 30 is added to the charging harness module 40 to control the low-voltage signal for charging. This low-voltage signal control means that the charging monitoring module 30 controls the preconditions for charging the battery in the mobile charging station, ensuring the charging conditions are the same as those for charging in a vehicle. Furthermore, the charging data exchange between the charging monitoring module 30 and the charging harness module 40 uses S+S- (transmitting high-level and low-level data) as per national standards to exchange information between the charger and the battery, thereby obtaining charging data. In the design of the charging monitoring module 30 and the charging harness module 40, all low-voltage signal harnesses (including S+ and S-) are pre-installed in the form of plug-ins when designing the charging harness module 40. The charging monitoring module 30 can be connected through the corresponding plug-ins. The on / off state of all low-voltage signal lines is controlled by the charging monitoring module 30, as well as the monitoring and acquisition of data. This allows for the acquisition of battery data without the need for a charger, reducing the cost of charging control. At the same time, the functionality of the mobile charging station can be improved by adapting the charging harness module 40 to different interfaces.
[0049] For example, controlling the low-voltage signal line can be used to acquire internal battery data. Since commonly used mobile battery swapping stations cannot acquire more information about the battery, this embodiment uses the charging monitoring module 30 to provide vehicle low-voltage information, which can activate the battery management system (BMS). When the battery is inside the swapping station, more battery information can be acquired, facilitating battery status monitoring and ensuring battery safety within the station. The charging function requires the adapter in the charging harness module 40 and the charging monitoring module 30 to work together. The adapter provides a low-voltage GB / T charging interface and a high-voltage signal interface, which are connected to the external charging gun and the internal charging monitoring module 30, respectively. After the external charging pile starts charging, the internal charging monitoring module 30 completes the charging function by controlling the conduction of the guiding circuit, i.e., the connection circuit between the two. Simultaneously, the charging monitoring module 30 can provide 24V auxiliary power to activate the BMS inside the charging battery, establish PCAN (CAN-to-USB interface communication) communication, and acquire more battery information. The charging monitoring module 30, through internal data processing, uploads charging data and battery data to the station control platform 10 via TCP / IP, MQTT protocol communication, etc. Reference Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the charging control system of a mobile battery swapping station. The diagram illustrates two battery paths, one for battery #1 and the other for battery #10. In practical applications, more paths can be used simultaneously. Focusing on battery #1, it features internal communication between the BMS and the battery cell, connected to a standard charging dock via a high-voltage DC line for charging. To acquire internal battery data, a 24V connection confirmation line is used to connect to the battery communication device in the communication unit, triggering low-voltage signal acquisition. Simultaneously, two battery CAN lines connect to the battery communication device for data transmission. The entire system, connected to the UPS (220V) power supply, is the charging control board. This board includes functions such as charging activation, auxiliary power supply, and reserved control interfaces. By connecting these functional components to the charging control chip, the above functions can be achieved, enabling charging control and protection control for the #1 charging compartment. The No. 1 charging compartment includes a charging control board and functional components such as charging control and protection control. Multiple charging compartments together form the charging control system of the entire mobile battery swapping station. The meter information, battery rack information and charging information are then uploaded to the station control host (i.e., the station control platform 10) via the station router (which can be a switch), thereby realizing the collection of the entire battery data. Data collection can be carried out without a charger, which can reduce the operating cost of the entire mobile battery swapping station's charging control system.
[0050] The charging control system of the mobile battery swapping station based on this embodiment allows the mobile battery swapping station to be adapted to public charging piles for charging. Compared with fixed battery swapping stations (which have internal chargers), the requirements for chargers are relatively lower, resulting in lower operating costs. Secondly, through the message listening function of the charging monitoring module 30 in the charging control system of the mobile battery swapping station, more accurate charging information, such as SOC and charging power, can be obtained, allowing for more precise settlement of charging orders. Finally, the charging monitoring module 30 can be physically integrated in the same cabinet to achieve simultaneous charging control and information transmission for multiple batteries in the mobile battery swapping station. The charging monitoring module 30 requires UPS (220V) power supply to ensure normal communication between the BMS in the battery pack, the charging monitoring module 30, and the station control platform 10 within the battery swapping station. This, in turn, achieves the beneficial effect of a low-cost charging control system for the entire mobile battery swapping station.
[0051] The charging control system of the mobile battery swapping station in this embodiment includes a station control platform, a switch, a charging monitoring module, and multiple charging harness modules. The station control platform, the switch, and the charging monitoring module are connected in sequence, and the charging monitoring module is connected to each of the charging harness modules. The charging harness modules provide an adapter interface and connect to the rechargeable battery. The charging monitoring module acquires the charging data of the rechargeable battery and determines battery data based on the charging data. The switch transmits the battery data to the station control platform, and the station control platform performs charging control based on the battery data. The mobile battery swapping station's charging control system utilizes a charging harness module to provide an interface for connecting to the rechargeable battery. After connection, a charging monitoring module acquires the battery's charging data and corresponding battery data. Finally, the station's control platform performs charging control based on this data. This avoids the need for a dedicated charger at the swapping station to obtain charging data. The system not only provides an interface for connecting to the rechargeable battery via the charging harness module, enabling charging of batteries with different interface requirements and improving the station's functionality, but also sends the battery's charging data to the station's control platform for charging control without the need for a charger, thus reducing the station's charging control costs.

For example, the function includes reminders, changes to output power, charging billing, and low-voltage signals; A+ is the positive power input port 241 of the second connector 240, used to receive positive power from the first charging dock; P3 is the second control port 242 on the second connector 240, connected to a 24V voltage for operation control; CC1-2 and CC2-2 are the second insertion gun detection input interfaces 243 on the second connector 240, mainly used for exchanging insertion gun detection information with the second charging dock 220 and the charging monitoring module 30; S- and S+ are the communication input interfaces 244 on the second connector 240, mainly used for exchanging charging data acquisition information with the first charging dock 210, the second charging dock 220, and the charging monitoring module 30. Through the above connection method, the interface adaptation function of the charging harness module 40 is realized, enabling charging data acquisition whether connected to one or two charging docks simultaneously. Figure 6 This is just one possible connection method for the charging harness module 40; the actual configuration may include more or fewer lines and connection methods, which are not limited here. The design of the charging harness module 40 allows for interface adaptation functionality in mobile battery swapping stations without the need for a separate charger, thereby reducing the operating cost of mobile battery swapping stations.
[0058] In yet another embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the charging monitoring module in the charging control system of a mobile battery swapping station. The charging monitoring module 30 includes a first power supply 33, a second power supply 34, a central control board 32, and a control chip 31. The central control board 32 is connected to the first power supply 33, the control chip 31, the switch 20, and the first communication input interface 231. The first power supply 33 is connected to the power line, the second power supply 34, the first power output interface 211, and the second power output interface 221. The second power supply 34 is connected to the power line and the control chip 31. The control chip 31 is connected to the first power output interface 211, the first communication output interface 212, the first battery insertion detection output interface 213, the second battery insertion detection output interface 223, the first control port 234, and the second control port 242.
[0059] In this embodiment, the charging monitoring module 30 is connected to the charging harness module 40, thereby acquiring charging data when the charging harness module 40 charges the rechargeable battery. This avoids the need for a charger to obtain charging data at the battery swapping station. (See also...) Figure 6 The composition of the charging monitoring module 30 is illustrated below. The first power supply 33 can be a 12V power supply, the second power supply 34 can be a 24V power supply, and the control chip 31 can be a CCU (Communication Control Unit) board. The power lines represent the live wire (L) and the neutral wire (N). The first power supply 33 and the second power supply 34 provide power to the entire area for the normal operation of the internal components. Functional control, such as low-voltage signal control and charging data acquisition, is achieved through the internal control of the CCU board. Charging data is acquired via the connection of S+ and S-. This allows the charging monitoring module 30 to collect charging data, thereby reducing the need for a dedicated charger and lowering the operating cost of the mobile battery swapping station.
[0060] For example, Figure 6 It also includes a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) module, which connects to a 24V power supply. This module is activated when the system's connectors begin charging the battery, allowing users to easily monitor whether charging is actually in progress. This enhances the overall functionality of the system.
[0061] In another embodiment, the charging control system of the mobile battery swapping station further includes a vehicle communication line, which connects the charging vehicle 500 to the charging monitoring module 30. The charging monitoring module 30 is used to acquire the battery usage data of the charging vehicle 500 and use the battery usage data and the charging data as battery data.
[0062] In this embodiment, although the charging data obtained by the above system includes some battery data, it cannot obtain battery data when the battery system is not charging. To obtain more battery data, it can be obtained through another CAN interface of the battery (vehicle CAN). However, the vehicle CAN usually only communicates with the vehicle when the battery is on the vehicle. In the mobile battery swapping station, the battery and vehicle are separated, and communication with the vehicle is not possible. The vehicle CAN line is connected to the channel charging monitoring module through the vehicle communication line. The charging monitoring module simulates vehicle communication and realizes communication between the battery and the vehicle CAN line, thereby obtaining more battery data. The charging monitoring module 30 obtains the battery usage data of the charging vehicle 500 and uses the battery usage data and charging data as the battery data. The battery usage data refers to the data when the battery is not charging. This provides more control information for charging control, ensuring the accuracy of charging control.
[0063] Furthermore, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the charging control device structure of a mobile battery swapping station in the hardware operating environment of the embodiment of the present invention.
[0064] like Figure 3 As shown, the charging control equipment of this mobile battery swapping station may include: a processor 0003, such as a central processing unit (CPU), a communication bus 0001, an acquisition interface 0002, a processing interface 0004, and a memory 0005. The communication bus 0001 is used to enable communication between these components. The acquisition interface 0002 may include an information acquisition device or acquisition unit, such as a computer; optionally, the acquisition interface 0002 may also include a standard wired interface or a wireless interface. The processing interface 0004 may optionally include a standard wired interface or a wireless interface. The memory 0005 may be a high-speed random access memory (RAM) or a stable non-volatile memory (NVM), such as a disk storage device. Optionally, the memory 0005 may also be a storage device independent of the aforementioned processor 0003.
[0065] Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 3The structure shown does not constitute a limitation on the charging control equipment of a mobile battery swapping station, and may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements.
[0066] like Figure 3 As shown, the memory 0005, which serves as a computer storage medium, may include an operating system, an acquisition interface module, a processing interface module, and a charging control program for a mobile battery swapping station.
[0067] exist Figure 3 In the charging control device of the mobile battery swapping station shown, the communication bus 0001 is mainly used to realize the connection and communication between components; the acquisition interface 0002 is mainly used to connect to the backend server and communicate data with the backend server; the processing interface 0004 is mainly used to connect to the deployment end (user end) and communicate data with the deployment end; the processor 0003 and the memory 0005 in the charging control device of the mobile battery swapping station of the present invention can be set in the charging control device of the mobile battery swapping station. The charging control device of the mobile battery swapping station calls the charging control program of the mobile battery swapping station stored in the memory 0005 through the processor 0003 and executes the charging control method of the mobile battery swapping station provided in the embodiment of the present invention.
[0068] Furthermore, refer to, for example Figure 4 As shown, a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the charging control method for a mobile battery swapping station according to the present invention is presented based on an embodiment of the charging control system of the mobile battery swapping station described above. The steps of the charging control method for the mobile battery swapping station include:
[0069] Step S10: Obtain instruction information issued by the power station control platform, and detect the charging harness module in the charging control system of the mobile battery swapping station based on the instruction information to obtain charging detection information.
[0070] In this embodiment, after the charging monitoring module establishes communication with the power station control platform, it obtains the instruction information issued by the power station control platform. It then determines whether the instruction information is a stop charging instruction. If so, the process ends, and the process of obtaining the instruction information issued by the power station control platform is executed. If not, the charging harness module in the mobile battery swapping station's charging control system is detected based on the instruction information to obtain charging detection information. This means detecting whether the entire system is charging the battery. If charging is in progress, battery data is acquired; otherwise, continuous detection continues. The instruction information refers to the instruction issued by the power station control platform, which is generally a stop charging instruction, but can also be other instructions, such as detection instructions or data acquisition instructions. This is not limited here. The charging detection information detects whether the battery is charging, thus determining whether a battery data acquisition process is needed. Based on the detection of the entire system, the accuracy of the acquired data can be guaranteed.
[0071] Step S20: Based on the charging detection information, collect the charging data in the charging harness module and determine the battery usage data of the charging vehicle.
[0072] In this embodiment, by determining the system's detection information, charging data from the charging harness module is collected based on the charging detection information, and simultaneously, the battery usage data of the charging vehicle is determined. Here, charging data refers to the data on the charging battery in the charging harness module, while battery usage data refers to the data on the vehicle's battery usage obtained by connecting the vehicle to the charging monitoring module, such as usage duration, usage faults, and maximum temperature during use. Therefore, both battery usage data and charging data can be obtained directly through the charging monitoring module, avoiding the need for a charger to acquire data, and thus reducing the overall charging control cost of the mobile battery swapping station.
[0073] Step S30: Summarize the battery usage data and the charging data to obtain battery data, and perform charging control based on the battery data.
[0074] In this embodiment, battery data and charging data are ultimately aggregated to obtain battery data, which is then used for charging control. This charging control can be performed by the power station control platform based on the battery data; that is, the battery is analyzed based on the battery data to ensure safety throughout the charging and usage process. For example, if the battery data shows that it has been used for two years, it can be determined that it does not need to be charged at its maximum capacity. By controlling the charging based on the two-year capacity degradation, the accuracy of the entire charging control can be ensured. In other words, while ensuring the charging station can charge normally, accurate information acquisition allows for precise charging control, thus guaranteeing accurate charging control even with a low-cost charging station.
[0075] Furthermore, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7This is a flowchart illustrating the charging control method of a mobile battery swapping station. Charging begins after the station control system is initialized. Communication is established between the station control platform and the charging monitoring module. If communication is not established, attempts will continue until it is. If all attempts fail, the user will be notified. Once communication is established, the station control platform issues a command, which the charging monitoring module receives and performs system checks. The command is a stop charging command. If no stop charging command is received, subsequent checks are performed, specifically checking the charging harness module in the mobile battery swapping station's charging control system to obtain charging information. The main checks include verifying the on / off switch is functioning correctly, the battery is in place, the charging gun is in place, and that charging conditions are met. If at least one condition is not met, continuous checks continue. This means that charging is not being performed if at least one condition is not met. When all conditions are met, the checks end, and the result is fed back – the result of the initial charging information acquisition. It's worth noting that during the command issuance process, not only does the power station control platform determine whether a command has been issued, but the charging monitoring module also confirms this. Once issuance is confirmed, the command is sent to the charging monitoring module via the MQTT protocol. When the charging monitoring module confirms the detection result (i.e., the feedback action result), it reports the information and transmits it to the power station control platform via the MQTT protocol, thus achieving closed-loop information control. Specifically, after confirming that a battery is charging, it begins monitoring the charging battery, receiving data from the charging module. This involves collecting charging data from the charging harness module based on the charging detection information and sending the monitoring information to the power station control platform via the MQTT protocol. The power station control platform then provides feedback on the closed loop of receiving data. The data is then sent to the station control management system, i.e., the power station control platform, where it processes the data to achieve charging control. During charging data transmission, a page trigger also occurs, performing a check to determine whether to issue a command. This means the current service ends, and monitoring resumes after the command is confirmed. In other words, this embodiment collects the necessary data through the charging monitoring module, thereby avoiding the need for the charger to collect data and reducing the control cost of charging control for mobile power stations.
[0076] The present invention also provides a charging control device for a mobile battery swapping station.
