Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to charging technology, and more particularly to a plug-and-play charging method and device for public charging stations. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, when users need to charge their vehicles using public charging stations, they typically need to scan the tag information on the public charging station to determine its identification information. Then, based on the obtained identification information, they send a charging request carrying the identification information to the charging operator to which the public charging station belongs, so that the public charging station can subsequently charge the vehicle under the control of the charging operator.

[0003] However, the above method requires users to go through a manual scanning process, and the vehicle cannot be charged if the user's terminal device cannot scan the code.

[0085] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0086] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0087] Currently, more and more vehicles need to be charged, and a large number of charging stations have been deployed in various places. Each charging station can include one or more charging piles to charge vehicles.

[0088] In one possible implementation, when a vehicle needs to be charged, the user can scan the QR code or other identifier on the charging pile using a terminal device to obtain the identifier information of the charging pile that the user wishes to operate. Then, the user sends a charging request carrying the charging pile identifier information to the charging operation platform, which then forwards the charging request to the operator platform to which the charging pile belongs, thereby completing the charging process.

[0089] However, the above-mentioned charging methods still require users to perform additional operations on the terminal device. If the terminal device malfunctions, the vehicle cannot be charged. Furthermore, if the charging station has many QR codes or other labels, users need to manually identify the actual QR code to scan, which can easily lead to a poor charging experience.

[0090] The plug-and-play charging method for public charging piles provided in this application aims to solve the aforementioned technical problems of the prior art. After a vehicle is connected to a charging pile, the vehicle can directly send a first charging request to its corresponding charging operation platform. Subsequently, when the charging operation platform learns that a vehicle has a charging need at a target charging station, it can directly send a second charging request to the target operator platform to which the target charging station belongs. This allows the target operator platform to proactively determine the charging pile currently connected to the vehicle based on the vehicle connectivity information reported by the charging pile and control the connected charging pile to charge the vehicle. Thus, the above operations do not require the user to actively scan a code to determine the connected charging pile, nor do they require the transmission of charging pile identification between the charging pile and the vehicle, thereby achieving plug-and-play charging and improving the user's charging experience.

[0091] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0092] Figure 1 This application provides a schematic flowchart of a plug-and-play charging method for public charging stations, as illustrated in the embodiments of this application. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0093] S101. Receive a first charging request sent by the vehicle; wherein the vehicle is connected to a charging pile; the charging pile is located in the target charging station; the first charging request is used to request charging of the vehicle in the target charging station.

[0094] For example, the method provided in this embodiment is applied to a charging operation platform, which can be understood as a system built by various car manufacturers to obtain charging station information from various operators and to manage this charging station information and charging order data.

[0095] In this application, the operator platform refers to a platform built by a company that establishes various charging stations and provides charging services. This platform can be used to acquire and record the status information of each charging pile corresponding to the operator platform (e.g., whether it is charging a vehicle, vehicle information of the connected vehicle, estimated remaining charging time, etc.). Furthermore, the operator platform and the charging operation platform can exchange information using a defined standard protocol.

[0096] Specifically, in this embodiment, after the vehicle connects to the charging pile, the vehicle can send a first charging request to its affiliated charging operation platform. It should be noted that the first charging request in this embodiment is only used to inform the charging operation platform that the vehicle needs to be charged at the target charging station where the vehicle is located; that is, the first charging request sent by the vehicle does not carry the identification information of the charging pile it is connected to.

[0097] In one possible implementation, the first charging request may only carry the location information (e.g., latitude and longitude information) of the current vehicle, and use the location information to indicate the target charging station where the vehicle is currently located. Then, after receiving the first charging request carrying the location information, the charging operation platform can determine the target charging station where the vehicle is currently located based on the location information.

[0098] S102. Send a second charging request to the target operator platform corresponding to the target charging station; the second charging request is used to request the charging pile connected to the vehicle to charge the vehicle; the second charging request includes the vehicle's first identifier; the target operator platform is used to obtain the correspondence between the charging pile and the first identifier.

[0099] For example, in this embodiment, after the charging operation platform receives the first charging request, it can determine the target charging station where the vehicle is located based on the first charging request, and further determine the target operator platform to which the target charging station belongs. It should be noted that, in one possible implementation, the charging operation platform and the operator platform can exchange information so that the charging operator platform can know the charging stations managed by each operator platform and the address information of the charging stations managed by the operator platform.

[0100] The charging operation platform then determines the target operator platform corresponding to the target charging station, and subsequently initiates a second charging request to the target operator platform.

[0101] The second charging request carries a first identifier corresponding to the vehicle. In one possible implementation, after the target operator platform receives the second charging request, it can match the charging pile currently connected to the vehicle with the first identifier among its managed charging piles based on the first identifier carried in the second charging request. It should be noted that the target operator platform can obtain the first identifier of the vehicle connected to the charging pile managed by the platform; that is, the target operator platform can be used to obtain the correspondence between the first identifiers of charging piles and vehicles. For example, when a charging pile detects that a connection has been established with a vehicle, it can proactively report the obtained first identifier of the vehicle to the operator platform.

[0102] In one possible implementation, the second charging request carries not only the vehicle's first identifier but also a third identifier of the target charging station where the vehicle is located. Once the target operator platform receives the second charging request, it can determine the charging station to which the vehicle is currently connected, only from the multiple charging stations included in the target charging station represented by the third identifier, thereby improving the efficiency of determining the charging station to which the vehicle is connected.

[0103] S103. Receive the charging request result sent by the target operator platform; the charging request result indicates whether the charging pile has successfully charged the vehicle.

[0104] For example, the target operator platform can control the charging pile connected to the vehicle to charge the vehicle, and determine whether the charging pile connected to the vehicle has successfully charged the vehicle, and feed the above results back to the charging operation platform so that the charging operation platform can know the charging status of the vehicle in a timely manner.

[0105] Understandably, in this embodiment, after the vehicle connects to the charging pile, it can directly send a first charging request to its corresponding charging operation platform. Once the charging operation platform learns that the vehicle has a charging need at the target charging station, it can directly send a second charging request to the target operator platform to which the target charging station belongs. This allows the target operator platform to proactively determine the charging pile currently connected to the vehicle based on the vehicle-to-everything (V2X) information reported by the charging pile, and control the connected charging pile to charge the vehicle. Therefore, the above operations do not require the user to actively scan a code to determine the connected charging pile, nor does it require the transmission of the charging pile identifier between the charging pile and the vehicle. The vehicle proactively reports the charging pile identifier, reducing the amount of communication information transmitted between the vehicle and the charging pile. For the user, no additional manual operation is required, enabling plug-and-play charging, which improves the user's charging experience.

[0106] In some embodiments, the first charging request includes: vehicle location information and a third identifier of the target charging station; before the charging operation platform sends the second charging request to the target operator platform corresponding to the target charging station, the method further includes the following steps: determining whether the vehicle location information in the first charging request matches the third identifier information of the target charging station; if it is determined that the third identifier carried in the first charging request matches the vehicle location information carried in the first charging request, then the step of sending the second charging request to the target operator platform corresponding to the target charging station is executed.

[0107] For example, in this embodiment, based on the above embodiments, the first charging request sent by the vehicle to the charging operation platform may carry the vehicle's location information and the third identifier of the target charging station where the vehicle is located. It should be noted that the third identifier here may be determined by the image identifier of the target charging station where the vehicle is located through image recognition, or it may be obtained when the vehicle is charging at the target charging station in a historical period. In this embodiment, there is no specific limitation on the way the vehicle obtains the third identifier of the target charging station.

[0108] After the charging operation platform receives the first charging request sent by the vehicle, which carries the vehicle location information and the third identifier, it will also match the vehicle location information with the address information of the charging station indicated by the third identifier to determine whether the two are the same address. If the two are the same address, the charging operation platform will further send a second charging request to the target operator platform.

[0109] It is understood that in this embodiment, the charging operation platform can further verify whether the address information corresponding to the vehicle location information and the third identifier carried in the first charging request is the same address, so as to avoid the phenomenon that the target operator platform is inaccurate due to the inaccuracy of the third identifier determined by the vehicle, and to ensure that the vehicle can complete charging normally in the future.

[0110] Figure 2 A schematic flowchart illustrating another plug-and-play charging method for public charging stations provided in this application embodiment is shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0111] S201. Receive vehicle location information sent by the vehicle; the vehicle location information is sent when the vehicle determines that it has entered the target charging station.

[0112] For example, the method provided in this embodiment is implemented by a charging operation platform. When a vehicle determines that it has entered a target charging station, the vehicle can proactively report its location information to its corresponding charging operation platform.

[0113] In one possible implementation, when a vehicle determines that its remaining battery power is less than a preset value and it is not yet charging, it can send its location information to the charging operator platform in advance, and the charging operator platform can then recommend the location information of a charging station that is closest to the vehicle's current location.

[0114] In one possible implementation, the vehicle location information is sent to the charging operation platform when the vehicle determines, based on the navigation function on the vehicle, that it is parked at a charging station marked on the navigation map.

[0115] In one example, the vehicle location information is sent by the vehicle when it determines that it has entered the target charging station based on the captured image information.

[0116] For example, in this embodiment, the vehicle can determine whether it has entered a charging station based on the image information captured by the vehicle. For instance, it can determine whether a charging pile or the corresponding signage information of the charging station (e.g., text information on a billboard, the icon of the charging station, etc.) can be identified in the image information currently collected by the vehicle. If the above content is identified, it can be determined that the vehicle has entered a charging station.

[0117] In one possible implementation, if it is determined that the vehicle's current remaining battery power is greater than a preset value, then the likelihood of the vehicle entering a charging station for charging is low, and the aforementioned image information recognition processing can be omitted to reduce the processing resource consumption in the vehicle. Alternatively, navigation map information can be used. If the navigation map information indicates that the vehicle is about to enter a charging station, and the remaining battery power is less than a preset value, then image acquisition and recognition can be used to further determine whether the vehicle has entered the charging station.

[0118] It is understood that in this embodiment, the vehicle's image acquisition capabilities can be used to analyze the image information corresponding to the vehicle to determine whether it has entered a charging station. Thus, before the user connects the vehicle and the charging pile, the vehicle's location information can be reported to the charging operation platform to determine whether the charging pile in the charging station supports plug and play.

[0119] S202. Based on the vehicle location information, determine the type information corresponding to the target charging station where the current vehicle is located; the type information is used to indicate whether the charging pile in the target charging station supports plug and play.

[0120] For example, in this embodiment, after the charging operation platform receives the vehicle location information, it can determine the target charging station where the vehicle is located based on the vehicle location information, and further determine the type information of the target charging station where the vehicle is located, which can be used to characterize whether the charging pile in the target charging station supports plug and play.

[0121] In one possible implementation, the type information obtained by the charging operation platform is acquired through information interaction with the operator's platform. Alternatively, it can be obtained through statistics obtained from questionnaires over a historical period. This embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on the method of obtaining type information.

[0122] S203. Send a notification message to the vehicle; wherein the notification message carries type information.

[0123] For example, after the charging operation platform obtains the type information, it sends a notification message carrying the type information of the target charging station to the vehicle, so that the user can know whether the charging station in the target charging station can be directly plugged in and used before connecting the vehicle and the charging pile, without any additional operation.

[0124] It is understood that in this embodiment, when a vehicle enters a target charging station, it can send its location information to the charging operation platform so that users can know in a timely manner whether the charging piles in the current target charging station are plug-and-play, thereby improving the user's charging experience.

[0125] In one example, if it is determined that the charging piles in the target charging station do not support plug-and-play, a notification message carrying a prompt is sent to the vehicle; the prompt message is used to indicate how to use the charging piles in the target charging station.

[0126] For example, in this embodiment, when the charging operation platform determines that the charging piles in the target charging station do not support plug-and-play, it can further include usage instructions for the charging piles in the notification information. That is, it informs the user in advance about the usage instructions for the charging piles so that the user can determine the necessary steps for charging. In one possible implementation, the prompt information can use text and images to inform the user of the specific steps. For example, if the usage method is scanning a QR code, the user can be shown the scanning interface of the terminal device, as well as examples of QR code images showing the required identifier.

[0127] In addition, when a vehicle learns that the charging pile at the target charging station supports plug-and-play, it can charge the vehicle by performing the following steps after confirming that the vehicle is successfully connected to the charging pile.

[0128] S204. Receive a first charging request sent by the vehicle; wherein the vehicle is connected to a charging pile; the charging pile is located within the target charging station; the first charging request is used to request charging of the vehicle within the target charging station.

[0129] In one example, the first charging request includes: a third identifier of the target charging station; before step S204 above, it may also include the following steps: receiving vehicle location information sent by the vehicle; the vehicle location information is sent when the vehicle determines that it has entered the target charging station; determining the third identifier of the target charging station where the vehicle is currently located based on the vehicle location information; and sending the third identifier of the target charging station to the vehicle.

[0130] For example, in this embodiment, before the vehicle sends the first charging request, the vehicle can request a third identifier of the target charging station it is currently at by sending its vehicle location information to the charging operation platform. Then, the vehicle sends the first charging request carrying the third identifier to the charging operation platform to inform the platform that the vehicle needs to charge at the charging station corresponding to the third identifier.

[0131] It is understood that in this embodiment, the vehicle can determine the third identifier of the target charging station by actively reporting its location information. Compared to the method that requires the vehicle to obtain the third identifier based on image recognition of the target charging station, this not only reduces the processing resource consumption caused by image processing, but also prevents subsequent charging failures caused by inaccurate image processing results.

[0132] S205. Based on the first charging request, obtain the target operator platform corresponding to the target charging station.

[0133] For example, in this embodiment, after receiving the first charging request, the charging operation platform can determine the target operator platform corresponding to the target charging station where the vehicle is currently located, based on the first charging request. It should be noted that the method of determining the target operator platform can be based on the vehicle location information carried in the first charging request, or it can be based on the third identifier corresponding to the target charging station carried in the first charging request. This embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on the method of determining the target operator platform.

[0134] S206. Send a query request to the target operator platform to obtain the second identifier of the charging pile, and send a second charging request to the target operator platform. The second charging request is used to request control of the charging pile connected to the vehicle to charge the vehicle; the second charging request includes the first identifier of the vehicle; the second charging request also includes the second identifier of the charging pile; the target operator platform is used to obtain the correspondence between the charging pile and the first identifier.

[0135] For example, in this embodiment, after the charging operation platform determines the target operator platform corresponding to the target charging station, it can send a query request to the target charging operator platform. The query request is used to request the second identifier of the charging pile currently connected to the vehicle. After receiving the second identifier from the target operator platform, a second charging request carrying the second identifier of the charging pile can be sent to the target operator platform.

[0136] In one possible implementation, the target operator platform is equipped with a query interface and a charging request interface. The charging operation platform can use the query interface to request the second identifier of the charging pile to which the vehicle indicated by the first charging request is connected from the target operator platform. After obtaining the second identifier of the charging pile to which the vehicle is connected, the charging operator platform can further combine the obtained second identifier with the charging request interface to initiate a second charging request carrying the second identifier to the target operator platform. This allows the target operator platform to directly control the charging pile with the second identifier to charge the vehicle with the first identifier based on the vehicle's first identifier and the charging pile's second identifier in the received second charging request.

[0137] It is understood that, in this embodiment, since many operator platforms currently have charging request interfaces, and the signal transmission protocol corresponding to the charging request interface stipulates that the signal transmitted by the interface needs to carry the requested charging pile identifier, the charging method provided in this embodiment only needs to open a charging request interface on the operator platform side and configure the charging pile identifier acquisition logic in the charging operation platform. This enables a plug-and-play charging method where the charging operation platform obtains the charging pile identifier and requests charging based on the existing charging request interface. No equipment modification of the charging pile is required by the operator platform, and the above method is applicable to various operator platforms and has high applicability.

[0138] S207. Receive the charging request result sent by the target operator platform; the charging request result indicates whether the charging pile has successfully charged the vehicle.

[0139] For example, the specific principle of step S207 can be found in step S103, and will not be repeated here.

[0140] In this embodiment, when a vehicle enters a target charging station, it immediately sends its location information to the charging operation platform. This allows users to promptly ascertain whether the charging piles at the target charging station are plug-and-play available, improving the user's charging experience. Furthermore, if the charging operation platform determines that a charging pile at the target charging station does not support plug-and-play, it can send a notification to the vehicle, including information on how to use the charging piles at the target charging station. This informs the user in advance of the charging pile's usage method, facilitating subsequent charging operations.

[0141] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a charging interaction, as provided as an example in this application. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0142] Step S301: The vehicle determines whether it is in a charging station based on its own camera and image recognition capabilities.

[0143] Step S302: If the vehicle determines that it is currently at a charging station, it reports its latitude and longitude information to the charging operation platform and requests the charging station ID of the charging station at the vehicle's location (wherein, the charging station ID can be understood as the unique identification information of the charging station).

[0144] Step S303: The charging operation platform returns the charging station ID of the vehicle's location based on the latitude and longitude information reported by the vehicle.

[0145] Step S304: The vehicle reports its Vehicle Identification Number (Vin) to the charging station via the charging gun's connection cable using standard protocol messages. In one possible implementation, the charging station will also promptly return a response indicating whether the vehicle has successfully connected.

[0146] Step S305: After obtaining the Vin code reported by the vehicle, the charging pile pushes the Vin code of the vehicle corresponding to the charging gun being inserted to the operator platform to which the charging pile belongs. In one possible implementation, the operator platform can also inform the charging operation platform that the charging pile's status has changed to "charging gun inserted" via an interconnection protocol. It should be noted that the interconnection in this embodiment refers to the physical connection between telecommunications networks, enabling users of one telecommunications operator to communicate with users of another telecommunications operator, or to enjoy various telecommunications services provided by another telecommunications operator.

[0147] Step S306: The vehicle calls the charging operation platform interface to initiate a first charging request to the charging operation platform. The first charging request includes the vehicle's Vin code, charging station ID, and latitude and longitude information, etc.

[0148] Step S307: The charging operation platform determines the operator platform to which the charging station where the vehicle is located belongs based on the charging station ID and latitude and longitude information.

[0149] Step S308: The charging operation platform calls the query interface of the determined operator platform to request the query of the charging pile number currently connected to the vehicle.

[0150] Step S309: After obtaining the charging gun code, the charging operation platform calls the charging request interface of the operator platform to initiate a second charging request. The parameters include the charging station ID, charging pile number, vehicle Vin code, and license plate number.

[0151] Step S310: The operator platform issues a charging instruction to the charging pile and starts billing. The charging instruction is used to control the charging pile to start supplying power to the outside.

[0152] Step S311: The charging pile pushes the result of successful charging to the operator platform via the Internet of Things protocol.

[0153] Step S312: After receiving the result that charging has been successfully started, the operator platform starts billing and pushes the result of successful charging to the charging operation platform through the interconnection protocol.

[0154] Step S313: The charging operation platform notifies the vehicle that charging has been successfully started, and the vehicle's charging status changes to "charging in progress," realizing the plug-and-charge process.

[0155] After the above steps, once the operator platform confirms that the vehicle charging is complete, it will deduct the fee from the account linked to the vehicle.
