[0022] In response to the query that the charging gun is not currently charging, query whether the charging gun has been returned to the corresponding charging station.

[0023] In response to the query that the charging gun has not been returned to the corresponding charging station, query whether the charging gun was returned to the corresponding charging station when the last charging order ended;

[0024] In response to the query that the charging gun was not returned to the corresponding charging station when the last charging order ended, the historical client corresponding to the last charging order is determined;

[0025] Check whether the previous charging order in the historical client has deducted the fee for the unreturned charging gun;

[0026] If the previous charging order on the historical client did not deduct the fee for the unreturned charging gun, then when the historical client settles the next charging order, the fee for the unreturned charging gun will be deducted.

Detailed Implementation Methods

[0047] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments in this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0049] The terminology used in the embodiments of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0050] To address the technical problems in related technologies, such as the lack of management of charging guns leading to damage and increased operating costs, this application proposes a charging gun management method, device, system, equipment, and medium.

[0051] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0052] For ease of explanation, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a charging service system according to an embodiment of this application is shown. It should be noted that... Figure 1 The charging service system shown is merely an illustrative example and does not constitute any limitation on this application. Any architecture or system that can implement the recommended method of the charging gun of this application is acceptable.

[0053] from Figure 1 It can be seen that the charging service system 100 includes a charging server 110 and a front-end application 120; the charging server 110 and the front-end application 120 are communicatively connected; in some embodiments of this application, the front-end application can be presented in the form of, but is not limited to, a merchant client (B-end client), a personal user client (C-end client), a mini-program, a public account, etc.; wherein, the front-end application 120 can be deployed on the user's terminal device, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, etc.; the charging server 110 is equipped with a charging gun management device 600 that can implement the charging gun management device of this application. Figure 6 ).

[0054] Please refer to this again. Figure 1The charging service system 100 can connect to the charging pile management system 200 externally. Specifically, the charging service system 100 can communicate with the charging pile management system 200 through a pre-agreed interconnection protocol, and data exchange can be achieved by calling an interface. The charging pile management system 200 can manage one or multiple charging piles in a charging station. The charging service system 100 controls the charging guns of the charging piles in the charging station through the charging pile management system 200 to charge the devices to be charged. More specifically, in some embodiments of this application, the charging pile management system 200 includes a charging pile server 210 and at least one charging pile operating system 220 connected in communication. Each charging pile operating system 220 connects to several charging piles, and the charging pile server 210 manages the charging piles through the charging pile operating system 220. Externally, the charging pile server 210 communicates with the charging server 110 of the charging service system 100 to realize communication between the charging service system 100 and the charging pile management system 200. In practical scenarios, a charging pile is typically equipped with two charging guns, and the charging pile operating system 220 can manage each charging gun. The charging server 110 communicates with the charging pile server 210 through an interconnection protocol. The interconnection protocol defines the communication specifications between the charging server 110 and the charging pile server 210, and the two can exchange information through an interface. The charging pile server 210 communicates with each charging pile operating system 220 through a direct connection protocol, such as the WLAN direct connection protocol.

[0055] An activation code is affixed to a suitable location on the charging gun at the charging station. In some embodiments of this application, the activation code may contain information in various forms, such as a unique resource location identifier (URL address), but regardless of the form, the activation code at least represents the charging gun identification information of the corresponding charging pile, such as at least one of the following: charging gun identification number, charging gun account, charging gun unique code, and charging gun exclusive number. In some embodiments of this application, the activation code may also include, but is not limited to: charging supplier information (charging station operating company identification information) and configuration information, etc., wherein the charging supplier information represents the charging station operating company to which the charging station belongs, such as State Grid, and the configuration information may include the power and current of the charging gun, etc.

[0056] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 A schematic flowchart of a charging gun management method according to an embodiment of this application is shown. This charging gun management method is used to solve the technical problems in related technologies, such as the lack of management of charging guns, leading to charging gun damage and increased operating costs.

[0057] like Figure 2As shown, a charging gun management method according to an embodiment of this application is used in a charging server, and the method includes:

[0058] Step S201: In response to receiving a charging end command sent by the target client, unlock the target charging gun bound to it;

[0059] In real-world scenarios, a charging station typically has two charging guns. After scanning the activation code corresponding to the charging gun using a client, the user sends a charging request and checks the status of the target charging gun. If the target charging gun is found to be charging, a message indicating that the charging station is occupied is sent to the target client. If the target charging gun is found to be idle, an unlock message is sent to the target client. Upon receiving an unlock command from the target client in response to the unlock message, the target charging gun is unlocked, its current location information is sent to the target client, and the target charging gun is bound to the target client. Upon receiving a charging completion command from the target charging gun, the binding between the target charging gun and the target client is removed.

[0060] In one specific embodiment, the target client can log in to the charging server through the target account. When binding the target charging gun and the target client, the target client's target account can be bound to the target charging gun's activation code. The activation code can be, but is not limited to, a unique resource location identifier (URL address). This activation code information usually represents the charging gun identification information of the corresponding charging pile, such as at least one of the following: charging gun ID number, charging gun account, charging gun unique code, and charging gun exclusive number.

[0061] Step S202: After the target charging gun is unlocked, detect whether the target charging gun has been returned to the corresponding charging station.

[0062] In specific embodiments, multiple methods can be used to detect whether the target charging gun has been returned to the corresponding charging station.

[0063] For example, charging stations typically have a return gun box. Inside this box, a return gun sensor can be installed to detect the status of the charging gun. When the charging gun is not in the box, the sensor cannot detect it, indicating that the charging gun has not been returned to the charging station. Conversely, when the charging gun is in the box, the sensor is triggered and detects it, indicating that the charging gun has been returned to the charging station. The return gun sensor can be an infrared sensor, detecting whether the charging gun is in a preset position. Alternatively, it can be a pressure sensor, which is activated when the charging gun is placed back into the charging station.

[0064] For example, cameras can be installed on charging stations to capture images of the surrounding environment, and then the location of the charging gun can be determined through image recognition, such as whether the charging gun is located on the charging station base or on the car charging base.

[0065] Of course, the position of the charging gun can also be detected through other feasible methods, and no specific restrictions are made here.

[0066] Step S203: In response to detecting that the target charging gun has been returned to the corresponding charging pile, the first charging order settlement information is output to the target client;

[0067] Step S204: In response to detecting that the target charging gun has not been returned to the corresponding charging pile and that the target charging gun is not in the car charging pile, output the second charging order settlement information to the target client, wherein the first charging order settlement information includes the charging fee, and the second charging order settlement information includes the charging fee and the charging gun not being returned fee.

[0068] In this embodiment, if the target charging gun is detected to have been returned to the charging station, the first charging order settlement information can be directly output. The first charging order settlement information only includes the charging fee. However, if the target charging gun is detected not to have been returned to the corresponding charging station and is not located at the car charging station, it indicates that the target charging gun may be scattered on the ground, etc. In this case, the second charging order settlement information is output. The second charging order settlement information includes not only the charging fee but also the fee for not returning the target charging gun. This is to regulate users' return of the charging gun after charging by charging a certain fee, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the charging gun and reducing maintenance costs.

[0069] In one embodiment, optionally, the method further includes:

[0070] In response to detecting that the target charging gun has not been returned to the corresponding charging pile but is located at the car charging station, and receiving a charging gun unlocking and charging request from another client, the system outputs the first charging order settlement information to the target client and outputs the current location information of the target charging gun to the other client.

[0071] In this embodiment, if it is detected that the target charging gun has not been returned to the corresponding charging station but is still located at the car charging station, and a charging gun unlocking and charging request is received from another client, the first charging order settlement information is output to the target client, enabling the target client's user to complete the charging settlement. Simultaneously, the current location information of the target charging gun, such as its location on another vehicle, is output to other clients. Once the target client completes the settlement and unlocks the target charging gun, the user of another client can obtain and install the charging gun on their own vehicle, thereby binding the charging gun to their client's account by issuing a start charging command for normal charging.

[0072] In one embodiment, optionally, the method further includes:

[0073] In response to detecting that the target charging gun has not been returned to the corresponding charging pile but is located at the car charging station, a charging gun return prompt message is output to the target client.

[0074] In this embodiment, after the user issues a charging end command through the target client, if it is detected that the target charging gun has not been returned to the corresponding charging pile and is still at the car charging pile, a charging gun return prompt message can be output to the target client to remind the user.

[0075] For example, after a user sends a charging end command through the target client, the charging server detects that the target charging gun has not been returned to the corresponding charging pile and is still at the car charging pile. At this time, it outputs a charging gun return prompt message. The target client will then display a prompt message such as "Your charging gun has not been returned to the charging pile. Please return the charging gun before settling the bill. Otherwise, a corresponding fee will be incurred."

[0076] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, optionally, before receiving the charging end command sent by the target client, the method further includes:

[0077] Step S301: In response to receiving a charging request from the target client for the target charging gun, query the status of the target charging gun;

[0078] In this embodiment, the target client can send a charging request to the charging server by scanning the activation code corresponding to the target charging gun, so that the charging server can query the current status of the target charging gun based on the charging request, such as whether it is in charging and in use or in an idle state.

[0079] Step S302: In response to the query finding that the target charging gun is in a charging state, output a charging pile occupied prompt message to the target client;

[0080] If the target charging gun scanned by the user is already charging, a message indicating that the charging station is occupied can be displayed to the user's client, thus informing the user that the charging gun has been used and prompting them to select another charging gun. For example, the message could be: "The current charging gun is occupied. Please select another charging gun."

[0081] Step S303: In response to the query that the target charging gun is in an idle state, an unlock prompt message is output to the target client;

[0082] Step S304: In response to receiving the unlock command issued by the target client in response to the unlock prompt information, the target charging gun is unlocked, the current location information of the target charging gun is output to the target client, and the target charging gun is bound to the target client.

[0083] If the target charging gun scanned by the user is currently idle, an unlocking prompt message can be output to the user's client, indicating that the charging gun can be unlocked and used. For example, the prompt message could be "The charging gun is currently available. Please press the unlock button to unlock and use it." After the user clicks the unlock button, the charging gun can be unlocked from the charging station. The charging server records the unlocking record from the client. At this time, the charging server can also output the current location information of the target charging gun, such as displaying a prompt message like "Please unplug the charging gun from the charging station." After the user unplugs the gun, inserts it into the vehicle's charging station, and then clicks the charging start button, charging can begin.

[0084] In one embodiment, optionally, the method further includes:

[0085] Upon receiving a start charging command from the target client, the target charging station is activated to begin charging.

[0086] After receiving the start charging command from the target client, the charging server can start the target charging station to begin charging the vehicle.

[0087] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, optionally, the method further includes:

[0088] Step S401: Check whether each charging gun is currently charging.

[0089] In this embodiment, the charging server can query the current status of each charging gun in real time, whether it is charging or idle.

[0090] Step S402: In response to the query that the charging gun is not currently charging, query whether the charging gun has been returned to the corresponding charging station.

[0091] If the charging gun is not currently charging, i.e., it is in an idle state, then further query whether the charging gun has been returned to the charging station.

[0092] Step S403: In response to the query that the charging gun has not been returned to the corresponding charging station, query whether the charging gun was returned to the corresponding charging station when the last charging order ended;

[0093] If the query shows that the charging gun is currently idle and has not been returned to the corresponding charging station, then further query whether the charging gun was returned to the charging station when the last charging order ended. If it was returned to the charging station when the last charging order ended, this means that the user who charged last time was not responsible and had already returned the charging gun. It is possible that another user unplugged the charging gun but did not use it, etc. In this case, no charge will be deducted from the user who charged last time.

[0094] Step S404: In response to the query that the charging gun was not returned to the corresponding charging station when the last charging order ended, determine the historical client corresponding to the last charging order;

[0095] If the charging order was not returned to the corresponding charging station when it ended, the historical client of the previous charging order will be retrieved.

[0096] Step S405: Query whether the previous charging order of the historical client has deducted the fee for the unreturned charging gun;

[0097] Step S406: If the previous charging order of the historical client did not deduct the fee for the unreturned charging gun, then when the historical client settles the charging order again, the fee for the unreturned charging gun will be deducted.

[0098] If the fee for the unreturned charging gun was deducted at the end of the previous charging order in the historical client, no further processing will be performed. If the fee for the unreturned charging gun was not deducted at the end of the previous charging order, the fee will be deducted when the next charging order is settled in the historical client, and a prompt message can be output to inform the user that the fee is for the unreturned charging gun from the previous charging session.

[0099] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, optionally, the method further includes:

[0100] Step S501: Receive a cancellation payment instruction sent by the target client for the second charging order settlement information;

[0101] In this embodiment, when a user issues a charging end command through the target client, if the charging gun is not returned to the charging station, a second charging order settlement information is issued. After viewing the second charging order settlement information, the user will find that it includes the fee for the unreturned charging gun. At this time, the user can issue a cancellation payment command through the target client to cancel the payment, and then return the charging gun to the charging station again before making the payment again.

[0102] Step S502: According to the payment cancellation instruction, re-detect whether the target charging gun has been returned to the corresponding charging station.

[0103] Step S503: In response to detecting that the target charging gun has been returned to the corresponding charging pile, the first charging order settlement information is re-output to the target client.

[0104] After a user cancels payment, the charging server can recheck whether the target charging gun has been returned to the charging station. If the recheck finds that the target charging gun has been returned, the server can re-output the first charging order settlement information to the target client. If, after the recheck, the target charging gun has not been returned to the charging station or is not in a car charging dock within a preset time period, such as 5 minutes, the server will output the second charging order settlement information to the target client. This not only ensures that the charging gun is returned to the charging station but also avoids unnecessary charges for the user if they consciously return the charging gun, thereby improving the user experience.
