Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electric vehicles, and in particular to a method, device and storage medium for charging a vehicle based on a mobile storage and charging device. Background Art

[0002] To meet the charging needs of electric vehicles, fixed charging stations are typically installed in fixed locations, such as parking lots, public places, residential communities, and commercial centers. Once installed, they remain fixed in place. This means that electric vehicle users must charge at these fixed charging stations, limiting their choice of charging locations.

[0003] A major feature of fixed charging stations is their support for fast charging, but this also means that users must charge at specific times to meet the requirements. This can be inconvenient for users with irregular schedules. Furthermore, if a fixed charging station encounters an emergency, such as a power outage or equipment failure, the station will become unusable. In this case, users may not be able to find available charging equipment in a timely manner, affecting the use of their electric vehicles.

[0004] In summary, due to the location factors of fixed electric vehicle charging piles, their charging flexibility may be poor, which may easily cause inconvenience to users.

Figure 1 As shown, the computer terminal 10 may include one or more (illustrated as 102a, 102b, ..., 102n in the figure) processors (the processor may include but is not limited to a microprocessor MCU or a programmable logic device FPGA and other processing devices), a memory 104 for storing data. In addition, it may also include: a display, an input / output interface (I / O interface), a universal serial bus (USB) port (which may be included as one of the ports of the BUS bus), a network interface, a power supply and / or a camera. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that Figure 1 The structure shown is only for illustration and does not limit the structure of the above electronic device. Figure 1 More or fewer components than shown, or with Figure 1 Different configurations shown.

[0026] It should be noted that the one or more processors and / or other data processing circuits described above may generally be referred to herein as "data processing circuitry." The data processing circuitry may be embodied in whole or in part as software, hardware, firmware, or any other combination thereof. Furthermore, the data processing circuitry may be a single, independent processing module, or may be incorporated in whole or in part into any of the other components of the computer terminal 10. As described in the embodiments of the present application, the data processing circuitry serves as a processor control (e.g., selection of a variable resistor terminal path connected to an interface).

[0027] Memory 104 can be used to store software programs and modules for application software, such as the program instructions / data storage device corresponding to the method for charging a vehicle using a mobile charging device in an embodiment of the present invention.

Examples of such networks include, but are not limited to, the Internet, an intranet, a local area network, a mobile communication network, and combinations thereof.

[0028] The display may be, for example, a touch screen liquid crystal display (LCD) that enables a user to interact with a user interface of the computer terminal 10 .

[0029] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for charging a car based on a mobile charging storage device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0030] Step S202: Receive a charging request from a target vehicle.

[0031] Step S204: determining a target mobile charging storage device based on the charging request, wherein the target mobile charging storage device is used to charge the target vehicle.

[0032] In the above two steps, the mobile charging storage device can be a movable device similar to a small or medium-sized battery. The mobile charging storage device may include a chassis, a motor, a controller, and a battery. The chassis and motor enable mobility, the controller receives relevant instructions, and the battery stores electrical energy. Furthermore, to enable more precise and safe movement of the mobile charging storage device, a GPS positioning module and a radar module may be installed on the mobile charging storage device. The radar module can prevent accidental collisions during movement.

[0033] The present invention can be implemented by a service platform that works with a mobile charging and storage device, enabling remote communication between the service platform and the mobile charging and storage device. The target vehicle, any vehicle, can communicate with the service platform and send its charging needs in the form of a charging request. The service platform then selects a mobile charging and storage device capable of charging the target vehicle.

[0034] Step S206 , planning a target path for the target mobile storage and charging device to move to the target vehicle.

[0035] Step S208: sending the target path and the charging request to the target mobile storage and charging device, wherein the target mobile storage and charging device moves to the target vehicle according to the target path and charges the target vehicle based on the charging request.

[0036] In the above two steps, after selecting the target mobile storage and charging device, the service platform can use a relatively mature path planning algorithm to plan the target path for the target mobile storage and charging device to move to the target vehicle, and send the target path to the target mobile storage and charging device. After receiving the path, the controller of the target mobile storage and charging device can control the motor and chassis based on its own positioning and the expected path, move to the side of the target vehicle, and power the target vehicle according to the charging request sent by the mobile platform. Among them, the target mobile storage and charging device can include an audio and light prompt module. After moving to the side of the target vehicle, it reminds the owner of the target vehicle to connect the target vehicle to the target mobile storage and charging device in the form of audio and light. Similarly, the mobile platform can also monitor the location of the target mobile storage and charging device in real time, and send a prompt message to the target vehicle after the target mobile storage and charging device arrives next to the target vehicle.

[0037] Through the above steps, the goal of charging the target vehicle anytime and anywhere can be achieved, thereby realizing the technical effect of enhancing the flexibility of charging electric vehicles, and further solving the technical problem of poor flexibility caused by the fixed position of the charging pile.

[0038] As an optional embodiment, determining a target mobile charging storage device based on a charging request includes: reading the required power included in the charging request and the location of the target vehicle; and determining the target mobile charging storage device among multiple mobile charging storage devices based on the required power and the location of the target vehicle.

[0039] Optionally, when sending a charging request, the target vehicle can send its own location and required power to the service platform. The service platform can arrange the most suitable mobile storage and charging equipment for the target vehicle based on the required power and location of the target vehicle.

[0040] Optionally, the charging request can also include an expected charging time. That is, the owner of the target vehicle can pre-book a target mobile charging device to charge the target vehicle at a specific time. In this case, the service platform can first record this time and, at a certain moment before this time, select a suitable target mobile charging device for the target vehicle and move the target mobile charging device to the target vehicle so that it can charge the target vehicle at the scheduled time. For example, a vehicle can be scheduled to charge at 10 pm. The service platform can set a unified pre-booked charging request processing time of half an hour. When the service platform receives this charging request, it can promptly record that the charging request needs to be processed at 9:30 pm. Then, at 9:30 pm, the service platform can select the most suitable mobile charging device for the target vehicle based on the power level and location of all mobile charging devices at that time. This eliminates the need to lock a mobile charging device in advance to wait for the target vehicle to charge, which can improve overall charging efficiency.

[0041] As an optional embodiment, a target mobile storage device is determined among multiple mobile storage devices based on the required power and the position of the target vehicle, including: determining a target area with the position of the target vehicle as the center and a predetermined distance as the radius; obtaining the power of each of the multiple mobile storage devices that are idle in the target area, and the respective positions of the multiple mobile storage devices; and determining the target mobile storage device among the multiple mobile storage devices based on the required power, the power of each of the multiple mobile storage devices, and the respective positions of the multiple mobile storage devices.

[0042] Optionally, when determining the target mobile storage and charging device, it is not necessary to select from all mobile storage and charging devices, but rather to exclude some mobile storage and charging devices that are too far away from the target vehicle. This is because most mobile storage and charging devices are needed to charge electric vehicles in a short period of time to ensure that the target vehicle can operate normally. In other words, most charging needs focus more on timeliness rather than sufficient power. Therefore, the target area can be determined with the location of the target vehicle as the center and a predetermined distance as the radius, and the most suitable mobile storage and charging device can be selected from the multiple idle mobile storage and charging devices within the target area. Specifically, the target mobile storage and charging device can be determined based on the required power, the power of each of the multiple mobile storage and charging devices, and the location of each of the multiple mobile storage and charging devices.

[0043] As an optional embodiment, a target mobile storage device is determined among the multiple mobile storage devices based on the required power, the power levels of the multiple mobile storage devices, and the respective positions of the multiple mobile storage devices, including: determining a candidate storage device that meets the required power among the multiple mobile storage devices based on the power levels of the multiple mobile storage devices; and determining, based on the respective positions of the multiple mobile storage devices, the mobile storage device that is closest to the target vehicle among the candidate storage devices as the target mobile storage device.

[0044] Optionally, the power level can be used as the highest priority indicator to select a suitable mobile storage and charging device. That is, first, a mobile storage and charging device with a power level that meets the required power level is selected from multiple mobile storage and charging devices as a candidate storage and charging device. Then, based on improving efficiency, the mobile storage and charging device closest to the target vehicle among the candidate storage and charging devices can be selected as the target mobile storage and charging device according to the respective positions of the multiple mobile storage and charging devices.

[0045] As an optional embodiment, the method further includes: when the power levels of multiple mobile storage and charging devices do not meet the required power level, determining the mobile storage and charging device with the most power among the multiple mobile storage and charging devices as the target mobile storage and charging device.

[0046] Alternatively, if there are no mobile charging devices within the target area that can meet the required charge capacity, the mobile charging device with the most capacity can be selected as the target mobile charging device. This mobile charging device can then be used to charge the target vehicle. The target mobile charging device can then be used to charge the target vehicle. Alternatively, the target mobile charging device can be searched for outside the target area.

[0047] As an optional embodiment, the method also includes: obtaining video data from a camera along the target path; monitoring the travel status of the target mobile storage and charging device based on the video data from the camera; and determining that other mobile storage and charging devices are used to charge the target vehicle when the travel status of the target mobile storage and charging device is abnormal.

[0048] Optionally, after the target mobile storage and charging device receives the target path, the service platform can obtain real-time video data from the camera on the target path to monitor the travel status of the target mobile storage and charging device, for example, whether the target mobile storage and charging device is moving correctly according to the target path, whether the target mobile storage and charging device can move safely, etc. It can also monitor the road conditions on the target path to understand the travel status of the target mobile storage and charging device. If the travel status of the target mobile storage and charging device is abnormal, such as the target mobile storage and charging device suddenly stops, an accidental collision occurs and it cannot move, etc., the service platform can mobilize other mobile storage and charging devices to charge the target vehicle and plan a path. Of course, the target mobile storage and charging device can also monitor its own status through a radar module, etc., and send a message to the service platform in a timely manner when it finds that its own travel status is abnormal.

[0049] As an optional embodiment, the method also includes: receiving a charging end prompt sent by the target mobile storage and charging device; planning a return path from the target mobile storage and charging device to the fixed charging pile; and sending the return path to the target mobile storage and charging device, wherein the target mobile storage and charging device moves to the fixed charging pile according to the return path and connects to the fixed charging pile for charging.

[0050] Optionally, after the target mobile charging storage device finishes charging, the service platform can receive a charging completion notification from the target mobile charging storage device and plan the target mobile charging storage device's subsequent itinerary. In most cases, the target mobile charging storage device's battery is insufficient and cannot charge other vehicles. Instead, it needs to return to a fixed charging station to recharge its own battery. In this case, a return path to the fixed charging station closest to the target mobile charging storage device can be determined, or a return path to a fixed charging station associated with the target mobile charging storage device can be determined. The return path is sent to the target mobile charging storage device, and the target mobile charging storage device moves to the fixed charging station along the return path and connects to the fixed charging station for charging.

[0051] It should be noted that the mobile storage and charging device can be provided with a charging socket connected to the car and a charging socket connected to the AC charging pile, and can also be provided with an AC-DC converter, which can draw power from the AC charging pile to charge itself.

[0052] It should be noted that for the aforementioned method embodiments, for simplicity of description, they are all expressed as a series of action combinations. However, those skilled in the art should be aware that the present invention is not limited by the order of the actions described, because according to the present invention, certain steps can be performed in other orders or simultaneously. Secondly, those skilled in the art should also be aware that the embodiments described in this specification are all preferred embodiments, and the actions and modules involved are not necessarily required by the present invention.

[0053] Through the description of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the method for charging a car based on a mobile storage and charging device according to the above embodiment can be implemented by means of software plus a necessary general hardware platform. Of course, it can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of the present invention, or the part that contributes to the prior art, can be embodied in the form of a software product. The computer software product is stored in a storage medium (such as ROM / RAM, magnetic disk, optical disk), and includes a number of instructions for enabling a terminal device (which can be a mobile phone, computer, server, or network device, etc.) to execute the methods described in various embodiments of the present invention.
