[0055] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0056] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in the embodiments of this disclosure should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains. The terms "first," "second," and similar terms used in the embodiments of this disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components. Terms such as "comprising" or "including" mean that the element or object preceding the word encompasses the elements or objects listed following the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Terms such as "connected" or "linked" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. Terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are used only to indicate relative positional relationships; when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0057] In recent years, with the continuous increase in the number of electric devices in my country, the number of charging facilities built for them has also surged. However, for pre-built locations (such as parking lots and residential areas), the number of charging facilities is fixed. When the number of electric devices waiting to be charged surges, the charging power and charging waiting time may become uncoordinated.

[0058] Therefore, how to rationally charge and arrange the electric equipment to be charged in a pre-constructed site has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0059] To address the aforementioned problems, this disclosure provides a charging method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium. Using the above method, this disclosure first obtains the state information of a target device, then generates a charging strategy and a power switching strategy for the target device based on the state information, and finally charges the target device using these charging and power switching strategies.

[0060] In this disclosure, a power switching strategy for the device is generated based on the device status information, so that when the device is charging, it can select the power strategy required by its own power demand, thereby avoiding the situation in the prior art where power cannot be allocated to the device to be charged on demand.

[0061] Furthermore, this disclosure generates a charging strategy for the device based on its status information. This allows for the assessment of the required charging time and charging threshold when the device is charging, enabling the selection of an acceptable charging strategy. Ultimately, this avoids the problems of too many devices waiting to be charged due to the inability to assess charging time, and the reduced charging performance caused by the inability to select an appropriate charging threshold, which are present in existing technologies.

[0062] After introducing the basic principles of this disclosure, various non-limiting embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below.

[0063] Figure 1A This is a schematic diagram of a charging method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0064] Figure 1A The charging method shown further includes the following steps:

[0065] Step S10: Determine the status information of the target device.

[0066] In some optional embodiments, after step S10, the charging method of this disclosure further includes:

[0067] S101: Determine the remaining power information of the charging device.

[0068] S102: In response to the remaining power information being not less than the amount to be charged information, the target device is charged.

[0069] In some optional embodiments, the charging method of this disclosure can be implemented by a charging model. Specifically, the charging model can first obtain the status information of the device to be charged, wherein the aforementioned status information may include the amount of charge to be applied to the target device.

[0070] In some optional embodiments, when the charging model needs to charge the device to be charged, it should also determine whether the remaining power of the charging device is sufficient to meet the charging requirements of the device to be charged. It is understood that the charging model can only perform charging processing on the device to be charged if the remaining power of the charging device meets the aforementioned charging requirements of the device to be charged.

[0071] In some optional embodiments, the charging device can be disposed inside the charging model, and it can be a charging unit inside the charging model for charging the device to be charged. When the device to be charged is connected to the charging model, the charging model can charge the device to be charged through the charging device.

[0072] In some optional embodiments, the aforementioned process of determining whether the remaining power of the charging device can meet the charging capacity of the device to be charged can be specifically as follows: the charging model can first read the remaining power information of the charging device inside it. Then, after the device to be charged is connected to the charging model, the charging model can determine the charging capacity information of the device to be charged based on the status information of the charging device. After that, the charging model will compare the values ​​of the remaining power information and the charging capacity information. When the value of the remaining power information is not less than the value of the charging capacity information, the charging model will charge the device to be charged through the charging device.

[0073] In some optional embodiments, the charging model may also include an information display module, which can be directly displayed to users (e.g., the owner of the device to be charged) so that the owner of the device to be charged can more intuitively and directly read the device information of the charging device and the device to be charged.

[0074] In some optional embodiments, the charging device can also transmit its remaining power information to the information display module inside the charging model within a preset time period. Similarly, after the device to be charged is connected to the charging model, its own status information can also be directly displayed on the information display module.

[0075] Step S20: Determine the required power of the target device based on the status information, and generate a power switching strategy based on the required power.

[0076] Figure 1B This is a schematic diagram of a method for generating a power switching strategy provided in an embodiment of this disclosure.

[0077] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 1B As shown, step S20 further includes:

[0078] S201: Determine the voltage and current information of the target device based on the status information.

[0079] S202: Determine the required power of the target device based on the voltage information and the current information.

[0080] S203: Obtain the ambient power of the charging device, wherein the ambient power includes peak charging power and valley charging power.

[0081] S204: Generate a power switching strategy based on the required power, the peak charging power, and the valley charging power.

[0082] In some optional embodiments, step S204 further includes:

[0083] S2041: In response to determining that the required power is greater than the charging peak power, the target device is charged using the charging peak power.

[0084] S2042: In response to determining that the required power is less than the charging off-peak power, the target device is charged using the charging off-peak power.

[0085] In some optional embodiments, once the charging model determines that the remaining power of the charging device is not less than that of the device to be charged, the charging device can then charge the device to be charged. Specifically, the charging model can first determine the voltage and current information of the device to be charged based on the aforementioned state information. Here, the aforementioned voltage and current information refers to the charging voltage and charging current of the device to be charged.

[0086] In some optional embodiments, after the charging model obtains the charging voltage and charging current of the device to be charged, the charging model can determine the required power of the device to be charged, i.e., the charging power, based on the aforementioned charging voltage and charging current. The charging power can be obtained by multiplying the charging voltage by the charging current.

[0087] In some optional embodiments, the devices to be charged can be several electric vehicles, each with different charging power due to variations in vehicle model. Therefore, once the charging model obtains the charging power of the devices to be charged, it can generate the aforementioned power switching strategy for the devices. This allows the charging model to charge the devices using a power appropriate to their charging power.

[0088] In some optional embodiments, once the charging model determines the charging power of the device to be charged, it can then select a charging power that matches the device's ambient power for charging. The ambient power of the charging device can include peak charging power and valley charging power.

[0089] In some optional embodiments, during actual charging, the charging device may have several charging ports. When the number of devices to be charged is large, for example, exceeding several charging ports, the charging power of the charging device will be reduced due to the excessive number of devices. When the number of devices to be charged is small, such as one device, the charging power of the charging device will be increased due to the smaller number of devices.

[0090] In some optional embodiments, when there are many devices to be charged, causing the charging interface of the charging device to reach full load, the charging power is the peak charging power. When there are few devices to be charged, specifically only one device to be charged, the charging power is the off-peak charging power.

[0091] In some optional embodiments, once the charging model determines the peak charging power, valley charging power of the charging device, and the charging power of the device to be charged, a power switching strategy can be determined based on the peak charging power, valley charging power of the charging device, and the charging power of the device to be charged. Then, this power switching strategy can be used to select an appropriate power for charging the device to be charged.

[0092] In some optional embodiments, the aforementioned peak charging power can also be understood as the maximum power of the charging device, and the aforementioned valley charging power can also be understood as the minimum power that the charging device can provide. Therefore, when the aforementioned charging power is greater than the aforementioned peak charging power, the charging device cannot charge the device to be charged as needed; similarly, when the aforementioned charging power is less than the aforementioned valley charging power, the charging device also cannot charge the device to be charged as needed.

[0093] In some optional embodiments, based on the above reasons, the aforementioned power switching strategy for selecting an appropriate power for charging the device to be charged can specifically be as follows: in response to determining that the aforementioned charging power is greater than the peak charging power, the peak charging power is used to charge the device to be charged; and in response to determining that the aforementioned charging power is less than the valley charging power, the valley charging power is used to charge the device to be charged.

[0094] In some optional embodiments, the charging model achieves power regulation of the device to be charged through the above process, ensuring that the charging power of the device to be charged meets its own power requirements while also charging within the power limit of the charging device. This avoids the situation where the charging power exceeds the power limit of the charging device, which could damage the charging device.

[0095] Step S30: Determine the charging requirements of the target device based on the status information, and generate a charging strategy for the target device based on the charging requirements.

[0096] Figure 1C This is a schematic diagram of a method for determining charging demand provided in an embodiment of this disclosure.

[0097] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 1C As shown, step S30 further includes:

[0098] S301: Based on the information of the amount of charge to be charged and the maximum power information of the target device, determine the charge ratio of the target device.

[0099] S302: Determine a first function of the target device based on the charge ratio, and determine a first charging requirement of the target device based on the first function.

[0100] S303: Determine a second function of the target device based on the waiting time information, and determine a second charging requirement of the target device based on the second function.

[0101] S304: Generate a first charging strategy for the target device based on the first charging requirement.

[0102] S305: Generate a second charging strategy for the target device based on the second charging requirement.

[0103] In some optional embodiments, after implementing power regulation of the device to be charged, the charging model can also design a charging strategy that conforms to the charging needs of the device to be charged, thereby meeting the diverse needs of the device to be charged during the charging process.

[0104] In some optional embodiments, in order to implement the above-mentioned charging strategy, the charging model needs to first determine the needs of the device to be charged, and then construct different charging strategies based on different needs so that the needs of different devices to be charged can be met.

[0105] In some optional embodiments, the process of determining the demand for the device to be charged can specifically involve the charging model first determining the charge ratio of the device to be charged based on the aforementioned information on the amount of charge to be charged and the maximum capacity information of the device to be charged. Specifically, the aforementioned charge ratio is equal to the ratio of the amount of charge to be charged to the maximum capacity information of the device to be charged.

[0106] In some optional embodiments, after obtaining the charge ratio of the device to be charged, the charging model can determine a first function of the device based on this charge ratio, and then the charging model can determine a first charging demand of the device based on this first function. The aforementioned first function can be a value function of the device to be charged, and thus the aforementioned first charging demand can be a value demand of the device to be charged.

[0107] In some optional embodiments, after determining that the first charging demand is the value demand consumed by the device to be charged, the charging model can further determine a second function of the device to be charged based on the waiting time information of the charging process. The subsequent charging model can then determine the second charging demand of the device to be charged based on this second function. The aforementioned second function can be a time consumption function of the device to be charged, and thus the aforementioned second charging demand can be the time consumption demand of the device to be charged. It is understood that the aforementioned waiting time information of the charging process of the device to be charged can be obtained based on the state information of the device to be charged. Specifically, the aforementioned state information can include the waiting time information of the charging process of the device to be charged.

[0108] In some alternative embodiments, the aforementioned first function can be expressed as:

[0109]

[0110] Where P represents the consumption value of the target equipment; c j The value per unit of electricity for charging device j; The energy level of target device i after it completes charging at charging station j; q i The initial charge ratio when a charging request is issued to target device i; γ represents the maximum power of target device i; i The amount of electricity consumed by target device i per unit distance traveled; Let be the distance between target device i and charging device j from its current location.

[0111] In some alternative embodiments, the aforementioned second function can be expressed as:

[0112]

[0113]

[0114] Where T is the total waiting time for all target devices to be charged; z represents the waiting time of target device i at charging device j; ij h represents the number of target devices waiting to be charged in the charging device when target device i arrives at charging device j. j Let k be the number of charging piles in charging equipment j (k = 1, ..., hj); Let be the average waiting time when target device i arrives at charging device j.

[0115] Step S40: Charge the target device based on the power switching strategy and the charging strategy.

[0116] In some optional embodiments, charging the target device based on the charging strategy in step S40 further includes:

[0117] S401: In response to determining that the charging threshold of the target device is not greater than the first charging demand, the target device is charged based on the first charging strategy.

[0118] S402: In response to determining that the waiting time of the target device is not greater than the second charging demand, the target device is charged based on the second charging strategy.

[0119] In some optional embodiments, after the charging model generates a first charging strategy and a second charging strategy based on the value requirement and time consumption requirement of the device to be charged, respectively, the required charging strategy can be selected for charging when the device to be charged is in different situations. Specifically, in response to determining that the charging threshold of the device to be charged is not greater than the aforementioned first charging requirement, the device to be charged can be charged based on the first charging strategy; in response to determining that the waiting time of the device to be charged is not greater than the aforementioned second charging requirement, the device to be charged can be charged based on the second charging strategy.

[0120] In some optional embodiments, the aforementioned process of charging the device to be charged based on the power switching strategy can be performed simultaneously or sequentially with the process of charging the device to be charged based on the charging strategy in this step. Specifically, the charging model can first select the required charging power based on the power of the device to be charged and the power switching strategy. Then, the charging model selects the charging strategy required by the device to be charged based on the consumption value and consumption time of the device.

[0121] Using the above method, the status information of the target device is first obtained, then a charging strategy and a power switching strategy for the target device are generated based on the status information, and finally the target device is charged using the charging strategy and the power switching strategy.

[0122] In this disclosure, a power switching strategy for the device is generated based on the device status information, so that when the device is charging, it can select the power strategy required by its own power demand, thereby avoiding the situation in the prior art where power cannot be allocated to the device to be charged on demand.

[0123] Furthermore, this disclosure generates a charging strategy for the device based on its status information. This allows for the assessment of the required charging time and charging threshold when the device is charging, enabling the selection of an acceptable charging strategy. Ultimately, this avoids the problems of too many devices waiting to be charged due to the inability to assess charging time, and the reduced charging performance caused by the inability to select an appropriate charging threshold, which are present in existing technologies.

[0138] In response to determining that the required power is greater than the peak charging power, the target device is charged using the peak charging power; and...

[0139] In response to determining that the required power is less than the charging off-peak power, the target device is charged using the charging off-peak power.

[0140] The charging strategy generation module 30 is configured to: determine the charging needs of the target device based on the status information, and generate a charging strategy for the target device based on the charging needs. Specifically, the following steps are performed:

[0141] The status information also includes waiting time information;

[0142] Based on the information on the amount of electricity to be charged and the maximum power information of the target device, the charge ratio of the target device is determined;

[0147] Where P represents the consumption value of the target equipment; c j The value per unit of electricity for charging device j; The energy level of target device i after it completes charging at charging station j; q i The initial charge ratio when a charging request is issued to target device i; γ represents the maximum power of target device i; i The amount of electricity consumed by target device i per unit distance traveled; Let be the distance between target device i and charging device j from its current location;

[0148] The second function is expressed as:

[0149]

[0150]

[0151] Where T is the total waiting time for all target devices to be charged; z represents the waiting time of target device i at charging device j; ij h represents the number of target devices waiting to be charged in the charging device when target device i arrives at charging device j. j Let k be the number of charging piles in charging equipment j (k = 1, ..., hj); Let i be the average waiting time when target device i arrives at charging device j;
