When the charging gun is not used normally, timely adjustments can be made to ensure normal charging of the new energy vehicle, or after the charging gun has completed the charging task, the connection between the charging gun and the new energy vehicle can be disconnected in time.

[0042] Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the combination of the first target functional component and the second target functional component in the embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] In this embodiment, the method for prompting the use status of a vehicle charging gun can be applied to Figure 1 In the vehicle system shown. Figure 1 The vehicle system includes a control module, a gun insertion status detection module, a charging progress status detection module and multiple functional components. Among them, the multiple functional components include rearview mirrors (with the function of electrically adjusting opening and closing), windows, exterior lights, speakers, variable suspensions, head-up displays, audio and video entertainment systems, variable transparency glass and wipers, etc. These functional components are components with certain functions installed on the car, and the functions of these functional components themselves are not specifically used for the use status prompts of the car charging gun. For example, the rearview mirror has the function of providing a rear-view angle for the people in the car, and it can electrically adjust the degree of opening and closing, thereby adjusting the range of the rear-view angle; the window has the function of providing a connection or barrier between the interior space and the external space, and it can electrically adjust the opening degree, and so on.

[0044] In this embodiment, the operation performed by a functional component when realizing its function is called the functional action of this functional component. For example, the functional action of the rearview mirror includes adjusting its opening and closing degree by extending or contracting, the functional action of the window includes adjusting its opening by raising or lowering the glass sheet, the functional action of the exterior lights includes adjusting its brightness or illumination range, the functional action of the horn includes making a sound, the functional action of the variable suspension includes adjusting its height, the functional action of the head-up display includes displaying text or graphic content, the functional action of the audio and video entertainment system includes playing music or video, the functional action of the variable transparency glass includes adjusting its transparency, the functional action of the wiper includes sweeping the windshield, etc.

[0045] In this embodiment, the gun insertion state detection module can detect the insertion state of the charging gun into the charging interface of the target car. Specifically, the gun insertion state detection module can be in the form of a photoelectric detector, a contact sensor or a loop detector, wherein the photoelectric detector or the contact sensor can detect the position of the charging gun, determine whether the charging gun has reached the predetermined position, and thus determine whether the charging gun is correctly inserted into the charging interface of the target car; the loop detector can send a detection signal to a specific contact of the charging gun, and determine whether the corresponding return signal is received, thereby determining whether the charging gun is correctly inserted into the charging interface of the target car. The gun insertion state detection module generates gun insertion state information to indicate whether the charging gun is correctly inserted into the charging interface of the target car. For example, the content of the gun insertion state information may be "0" or "1", wherein "0" indicates that the charging gun is not correctly inserted into the charging interface of the target car, and "1" indicates that the charging gun is correctly inserted into the charging interface of the target car.

[0046] In this embodiment, the charging progress status detection module can detect the charging progress status of the power battery in the target vehicle by the charging gun, and generate charging progress status information to represent it. Specifically, the charging progress status detection module can be a battery management system (Battery Management System, BMS) in the target vehicle, detecting the state of charge (State of Charge, SOC) of the power battery as the charging progress status information; or the charging progress status detection module can be a coulomb meter, detecting the current and time accumulation through the charging gun when the charging gun charges the power battery as the charging progress status information.

[0047] In this embodiment, the gun insertion status information generated by the gun insertion status detection module can indicate the usage status of the charging gun in terms of whether the charging gun is correctly inserted into the charging port of the target vehicle, and the charging progress status information generated by the charging progress status detection module can indicate the usage status of the charging gun in terms of the charging progress of the power battery of the target vehicle by the charging gun. Therefore, the gun insertion status information and the charging progress status information can each be used as the charging gun usage status information separately, or combined as the charging gun usage status information.

[0048] In this embodiment, the Figure 1 The vehicle of the vehicle system shown, that is, a specific vehicle to which the vehicle charging gun usage status prompt method is applied, is called a target vehicle. The various steps in the vehicle charging gun usage status prompt method can be executed by a control module in the target vehicle. When the control module needs to collect data or perform certain operations when executing some of the steps, it can call other components to perform data collection or operations.

[0049] Reference Figure 2 The method for prompting the use status of the car charging gun includes the following steps:

[0050] S1. Detect the charging gun usage status information;

[0051] S2. Generate control instructions based on the charging gun usage status information;

[0052] S3. Use control instructions to control corresponding functional components of the target vehicle to perform functional actions.

[0053] The charging gun usage status information indicates the usage status of the charging gun on the target vehicle. In step S1, the control module may call the plug-in status detection module to obtain the plug-in status information, call the charging progress status detection module to obtain the charging progress status information, and use the plug-in status information as the charging gun usage status information, or use the charging progress status information as the charging gun usage status information, or use the plug-in status information and the charging progress status information in combination as the charging gun usage status information.

[0054] In step S2, the control module can determine whether the charging gun usage status information meets specific conditions. When the charging gun usage status information meets the specific conditions, the control module generates a control instruction; if it is determined that the charging gun usage status information does not meet the specific conditions, the control module will not generate a control instruction, and therefore will not execute the subsequent step S3.

[0055] If the control module generates a control instruction by executing step S2, the control module continues to execute step S3 to send the control instruction to Figure 1One or more functional components shown, thereby controlling the functional components on the target car to perform functional actions through control instructions. Since the process of functional components such as rearview mirrors adjusting their opening and closing degrees and windows adjusting their openings performing functional actions is easily observed by users, the charging gun usage status information can be transmitted to users in an obvious way; since the automobile functional components that perform functional actions can be functional components of the target car itself, they do not need to be components specifically used to display the charging gun usage status information (such as indicator lights), which is conducive to implementing the whole vehicle design concept when designing the car, reducing design redundancy, thereby reducing the cost of use and the failure rate, and since the functional components of the target car itself can be called to transmit the charging gun usage status information, the charging gun usage status can be displayed through a variety of ways, avoiding reliance on a single functional component so that the charging gun usage status cannot be displayed when the functional component fails.

[0056] In this embodiment, when executing step S2, that is, the step of generating a control instruction according to the charging gun usage status information, the following steps may be specifically performed:

[0057] S201A. When the charging gun usage status information is the gun insertion status information, determine a first target functional component on the target vehicle and generate a first control instruction.

[0058] Step S201A is the first execution mode of step S2.

[0059] In step S201A, if the control module detects that the charging gun usage status information is the gun insertion status information, and the gun insertion status information indicates that the charging gun is not correctly inserted into the charging port of the target vehicle (for example, the content of the gun insertion status information is "0"), then the control module can generate a first control instruction, wherein the first control instruction is used to control the first target functional component to repeatedly perform the corresponding functional action once or multiple times.

[0060] When executing step S201A, the control module may first select a first target functional component. The first target functional component is a specific functional component on the target vehicle, and the control module may randomly select a functional component from a functional component list of the target vehicle as the first target functional component. After selecting the first target functional component, the control module may generate a first control instruction according to the functional action that the first target functional component can perform.

[0061] For example, if the control module selects the rearview mirror as the first target functional component, the control module can generate a first control instruction. When the control module executes step S3, the control module sends the first control instruction to the rearview mirror, thereby controlling the rearview mirror to perform a functional action of "opening the opening and closing degree from the minimum to the maximum" once, or repeatedly performing the functional actions of "opening the opening and closing degree from the minimum to the maximum" and "folding the opening and closing degree from the maximum to the minimum"; if the control module selects the vehicle window as the first target functional component, the control module can generate a first control instruction. When the control module executes step S3, the control module sends the first control instruction to the vehicle window. Window, thereby controlling the vehicle window to perform the functional action of "raising the opening from the minimum to the maximum" once, or repeatedly performing the functional actions of "raising the opening from the minimum to the maximum" and "lowering the opening from the maximum to the minimum"; if the control module selects the variable suspension as the first target functional component, then the control module can generate a first control instruction. When the control module executes step S3, the control module sends the first control instruction to the variable suspension, thereby controlling the variable suspension to perform the functional action of "raising the height from the minimum to the maximum" once, or repeatedly performing the functional actions of "raising the height from the minimum to the maximum" and "lowering the height from the maximum to the minimum".

[0062] By executing step S201A, the user can understand the specific content of the plug-in status information by observing the obvious functional actions performed by the first target functional component, such as understanding the abnormal state of "the charging gun is not correctly inserted into the charging port of the target car", so as to take adjustment measures in time to ensure that the charging process proceeds smoothly and safely.

[0063] In this embodiment, when executing step S2, that is, the step of generating a control instruction according to the charging gun usage status information, the following steps may be specifically performed:

[0064] S201B. When the charging gun usage status information is the gun insertion status information, determine the first target functional component and the second target functional component on the target vehicle, and generate the first control instruction and the second control instruction.

[0065] Step S201B is a second execution mode of step S2.

[0066] In step S201B, the first target functional component and the second target functional component may be different functional components on the target vehicle, wherein the first control instruction is used to control the first target functional component to perform a corresponding functional action, and the second control instruction is used to control the second target functional component to perform a corresponding functional action.

[0067] On the basis of executing step S201B, when executing step S3, the control module can send the first control instruction to the first target functional component and send the second control instruction to the second target functional component at the same time, or it can first send the first control instruction to the first target functional component and then send the second control instruction to the second target functional component after the sending is completed.

[0068] In step S201B, the first target functional component and the second target functional component can be randomly selected to form Figure 3 The combination of various different functional components and the functional actions performed by them is shown. Among them, after executing step S3, the functional action performed by the first target functional component realizes a single reminder to the user, and the functional action performed by the second target functional component realizes a double reminder to the user, thereby realizing multiple reminders to the user, making it easier for the user to understand the specific content of the plug-in status information, such as understanding the abnormal state of "the charging gun is not correctly inserted into the charging port of the target car", so as to take adjustment measures in time to ensure the smooth and safe charging process; moreover, by giving multiple reminders to the user, multiple functional components can be called to avoid the failure to perform functional actions to give reminders due to damage to one of the called first target functional components and the second target functional components.

[0069] In this embodiment, on the basis of executing step S201B, after executing step S3, the following steps may also be executed:

[0070] S4. Detecting the functional action execution status of the first target functional component and the second target functional component;

[0071] S5. Determine the performance status of the first target functional component and the second target functional component according to the functional action execution status of the first target functional component and the second target functional component.

[0072] After executing step S201B, the first control instruction and the second control instruction are generated. When executing step S3, the control module uses the first control instruction to control the first target functional component to perform functional actions, and uses the second control instruction to control the second target functional component to perform functional actions, that is, under normal conditions, the first target functional component and the second target functional component respectively perform their own functional actions.

[0073] In step S4, the control module can call the self-check function of the first target functional component and the second target functional component to detect the execution status of their respective functional actions. Among them, the functional action execution status of the first target functional component indicates whether the functional action to be controlled and executed by the first control instruction is completely executed (including whether the functional action is executed, and whether the amplitude of the functional action is consistent with the first control instruction, etc.), and the functional action execution status of the second target functional component indicates whether the functional action to be controlled and executed by the second control instruction is completely executed (including whether the functional action is executed, and whether the amplitude of the functional action is consistent with the second control instruction, etc.). The first target functional component and the second target functional component return the functional action execution status obtained by their respective self-checks to the control module.

[0074] In step S5, the control module determines the performance state of the first target functional component and the second target functional component according to the functional action execution state of the first target functional component and the second target functional component. The performance state of the first target functional component indicates whether the first target functional component is damaged and the degree of damage, and the performance state of the second target functional component indicates whether the second target functional component is damaged and the degree of damage. For example, when the functional action execution state of the first target functional component indicates that the first target functional component has performed a normal functional action, and the functional action execution state of the second target functional component indicates that the second target functional component has not performed a functional action, the control module may determine that the performance state of the first target functional component is normal, and the performance state of the second target functional component is faulty; when the functional action execution states of the first target functional component and the second target functional component both indicate that the functional action has not been performed, the control module may determine that there is a problem that the transmission channels of the first control instruction and the second control instruction are disturbed, or determine that the performance states of the first target functional component and the second target functional component are both faulty, thereby further performing troubleshooting.

[0075] By executing steps S4-S5, the control module can automatically perform troubleshooting during the control of the first target functional component and the second target functional component, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the vehicle system.

[0076] In this embodiment, when executing step S2, that is, the step of generating a control instruction according to the charging gun usage status information, the following steps may be specifically performed:

[0077] S201C. When the charging gun usage status information is the charging progress status information, determining the third target functional component on the target vehicle;

[0078] S202C. Determine the lower limit of the functional action amplitude and the upper limit of the functional action amplitude of the third target functional component;

[0079] S203C. Determine the current function action amplitude according to the charging gun usage status information, the lower limit of the function action amplitude and the upper limit of the function action amplitude;

[0080] S204C. Generate a third control instruction.

[0081] Steps S201C-S204C are a third execution method of step S2.

[0082] In step S201C, if the control module detects that the charging gun usage status information is the charging progress status information, the control module can parse the charging progress status information to obtain quantitative data such as the state of charge SOC of the power battery. Among them, the state of charge SOC of the power battery can be expressed as data in the form of percentage. In this embodiment, the charging progress status information can be expressed in the form of percentage. For example, the charging progress status information of "30%" can be understood as the remaining power of the power battery of the current target vehicle is 30%.

[0083] In this embodiment, when each functional component performs its corresponding functional action, it corresponds to the degree of a functional action, that is, the amplitude of the functional action. For example, the amplitude of the functional action of the rearview mirror can be the opening and closing degree of the rearview mirror (for example, the folding angle); the amplitude of the functional action of the window can be the opening degree of the window (for example, the ratio of the area of ​​the raised part of the window glass to the total area of ​​the window); the amplitude of the functional action of the functional component of the exterior light can be the luminous brightness or irradiation area of ​​the exterior light; the amplitude of the functional action of the horn can be the sound intensity of the horn; the amplitude of the functional action of the functional component of the variable suspension can be the height of the variable suspension (for example, the absolute height, or the percentage of the current height to the total height); the amplitude of the functional action of the head-up display can be the display brightness of the head-up display; the amplitude of the functional action of the audio-visual entertainment system can be the display brightness of the audio-visual entertainment system; the amplitude of the functional action of the functional component of the variable transparency glass can be the transparency of the variable transparency glass; the amplitude of the functional action of the functional component of the wiper can be the sweeping angle of the wiper, etc.

[0084] When executing step S201C, the control module may first select a third target functional component. The third target functional component is a specific functional component on the target vehicle, and the control module may randomly select a functional component from the functional component list of the target vehicle as the third target functional component.

[0085] After selecting the third target functional component, the control module can execute step S202C to obtain the lower limit and upper limit of the functional action amplitude of the third target functional component from the product parameters of the third target functional component stored locally. The lower limit and upper limit of the functional action amplitude respectively represent the lower limit and upper limit of the action amplitude of the functional action performed by the third target functional component.

[0086] For example, if a vehicle window is selected as the third target functional component, the lower limit of the functional action amplitude of the third target functional component may be the height of the extended portion when the vehicle window glass is lowered to the lowest position (e.g., the distance between the top of the extended portion and the lower edge of the vehicle window, generally at a level of 0-5 cm), and the upper limit of the functional action amplitude of the third target functional component may be the height of the extended portion when the vehicle window glass is raised to the highest position (generally at a level of 40-45 cm). If a variable transparency glass is selected as the third target functional component, the lower limit of the functional action amplitude of the third target functional component may be the minimum transparency of the variable transparency glass (generally at a level of 0-10%), and the upper limit of the functional action amplitude of the third target functional component may be the maximum transparency of the variable transparency glass (generally at a level of 80-90%).

[0087] In step S203C, the control module determines the current function action amplitude according to the charging gun usage status information (charging progress status information), the function action amplitude lower limit and the function action amplitude upper limit. Specifically, the control module can determine the current function action amplitude according to the formula

[0088] Current function action range = function action range lower limit + (function action range upper limit - function action range lower limit) × charging progress status information

[0089] To calculate the current functional action range.

[0090] For example, assuming that the charging progress status information is 30%, that is, the power battery is charged through the charging gun, and the current remaining power of the power battery is charged to 30%; if the vehicle window is selected as the third target functional component, its lower limit of functional action amplitude is 0, and its upper limit of functional action amplitude is 40cm, then its current functional action amplitude is 0+(40cm-0)×30%=12cm; the control module executes step S204C to generate a third control instruction. When the control module executes step S3 to send the third control instruction to the third target functional component of the vehicle window, the vehicle window glass will be controlled to rise (or lower) to 12cm. If the charging gun continues to charge the power battery, the charging progress status information will change, for example, it will increase to 35%. Then the control module can update the current function action amplitude, that is, calculate the updated current function action amplitude to be 0+(40cm-0)×35%=14cm; the control module executes step S204C to generate a third control instruction. When the control module executes step S3 to send the third control instruction to the third target functional component, the window, the window glass will be controlled to rise (or lower) to 14cm.

[0091] For example, assuming that the charging progress status information is 40%, that is, the power battery is charged through the charging gun, and the current remaining power of the power battery is charged to 40%; if variable transparency glass is selected as the third target functional component, its lower limit of functional action amplitude is 10%, and its upper limit of functional action amplitude is 90%, then its current functional action amplitude is 10% + (90% - 10%) × 40% = 42%; the control module executes step S204C to generate an updated third control instruction, and when the control module executes step S3 to send the updated third control instruction to the variable transparency glass, the third target functional component, the transparency of the variable transparency glass will be controlled to be 42%. If the charging gun continues to charge the power battery, the charging progress status information will change, for example, it will increase to 50%, then the control module can update the current function action amplitude, that is, calculate the updated current function action amplitude to be 10% + (90% - 10%) × 50% = 50%; the control module executes step S204C to generate an updated third control instruction, and when the control module executes step S3 to send the updated third control instruction to the third target functional component of the variable transparency glass, the transparency of the variable transparency glass will be controlled to be 50%.

[0092] It can be seen from the above embodiment that by executing steps S201C-S204C, the control module can continuously and dynamically control the functional action amplitude of the third target functional component, so that the user can understand the charging progress status information in real time by observing the functional action amplitude of the third target functional component. Since the functional action amplitude of the third target functional component is relatively obvious, the charging progress status information can be displayed intuitively, and the user does not need to check it at a special location such as a charging pile, which provides convenience for car charging.

[0093] In this embodiment, when the control module executes S201C, in addition to randomly selecting a functional component as the third target functional component, the sensor installed on the target car can also be called to detect the relative position between the user of the target car and the target car to obtain the user position information. For example, a car with a keyless start system is provided with a key communication module, and the key communication module can detect the position of the wireless key carried by the user through wireless communication protocols such as NFC or Bluetooth, and the position indicates the user's position, thereby obtaining the user's position information. The specific format of the user's position information can be based on the position of the target car as the origin, indicating that the user is in front, behind, left front, etc. When the control module executes S201C, the functional component with a corresponding position can be selected from the functional component list as the third functional component. For example, if the user position information is "front", the control module can select the exterior headlight located in front of the target car as the third target functional component. In this way, the selected third target functional component is located on the same side as the user, and the functional action made by controlling the third target functional component is easier to be observed by the user, thereby improving the efficiency of information transmission.

[0094] In this embodiment, when executing S201C, the control module may also detect the charging environment information first, wherein the charging environment information includes information indicating the natural environment where the target car and the charging gun are located, such as weather, temperature, humidity, etc.; the charging environment information includes information indicating the social environment where the target car and the charging gun are located, such as pedestrian flow, vehicle flow, the number of cars waiting in line for charging, etc. The control module may call the sensor installed by itself, or the sensor or database installed by the charging pile to obtain the charging environment information. The control module may select the corresponding functional component as the third functional component according to the information of the natural environment. For example, when the information of the natural environment indicates that it rains that day, the control module may select the functional component other than the window as the third functional component, thereby preventing rain from entering the car when the window performs a functional action; the control module may select the corresponding functional component as the third functional component according to the information of the social environment. For example, when the information of the social environment indicates that the current pedestrian flow is greater than a threshold, the control module may select the functional component other than the horn and the window as the third functional component, thereby preventing the horn from frightening other people when performing a functional action, and preventing outsiders from entering the car when the window performs a functional action.

[0095] In this embodiment, when executing step S2, that is, the step of generating a control instruction according to the charging gun usage status information, the following steps may be specifically performed:

[0096] S201D. When the charging gun use status information is the gun plug status information, and the gun plug status information satisfies the first preset condition, the fourth target functional component on the target vehicle is determined, and a fourth control instruction is generated;

[0097] S202D. Dynamically update the gun insertion status information;

[0098] S203D. When it is detected that the updated gun insertion status information meets the second preset condition, a fifth control instruction is generated.

[0099] Steps S201D-S203D are the fourth execution mode of step S2. Moreover, steps S201D-S203D can be executed in combination with step S201A or step S201B, for example, the control module executes step S201A and steps S201D-S204D at the same time.

[0100] In step S201D, the control module may select a functional component as the fourth target functional component in a random manner or in a manner referring to step S201B.

[0101] In step S201D, the control module may set a first preset condition, the content of which may be "the content of the plug-in status information is 1, that is, the plug-in status information indicates that the charging gun has been correctly inserted into the charging port of the target vehicle", and the control module generates a fourth control instruction at this time, and the fourth control instruction is used to control the fourth target functional component to enter a user-uncontrollable state. The user-uncontrollable state refers to locking the controlled function of the fourth target functional component, so that the fourth target functional component is only controlled by the control module, and is not controlled by direct operation of the user.

[0102] For example, if the audio and video entertainment system is selected as the fourth target functional component, then the fourth control instruction controls the audio and video entertainment system to enter a user-uncontrollable state. When the user operates the buttons or knobs on the center console (used to play, adjust the volume, or fast forward, etc.), the audio and video entertainment system will not respond.

[0103] In step S202D, the control module dynamically updates the gun insertion status information, for example, determining whether the gun insertion status information changes from "1" to "0".

[0104] In step S203D, the control module may set a second preset condition, and the content of the second preset condition may be "the content of the updated plug-in status information becomes 0, that is, the updated plug-in status information indicates that the charging gun is not correctly inserted into the charging port of the target vehicle."

[0105] In step S203D, when the control module detects that the second preset condition is met, the control module generates a fifth control instruction, which can execute the reverse control process of the fourth control instruction, that is, the fifth control instruction can control the fourth target functional component to enter a user-controllable state, thereby eliminating the influence of the fourth control instruction. For example, if the audio-visual entertainment system is selected as the fourth target functional component, the fifth control instruction controls the audio-visual entertainment system to enter a user-controllable state, and the user operates the button or knob on the center console, and the audio-visual entertainment system will respond, thereby executing processing such as playing, volume adjustment or fast forwarding.

[0106] In this embodiment, the principle of executing steps S201D-S203D is that: when the first preset condition, such as "the content of the plug-in status information is 1, that is, the plug-in status information indicates that the charging gun has been correctly inserted into the charging interface of the target car", is met, it indicates that the target car is currently plugged in for charging. At this time, the fourth target functional component is controlled to enter a user-uncontrollable state through the fourth control instruction, which is conducive to restricting the use of some functional components on the target car, thereby reminding the user of the target car that the charging gun is currently being occupied for charging, which is conducive to urging the user of the target car to avoid occupying the charging gun for a long time and ensure the efficiency of the use of the public charging gun; when the second preset condition, such as "the content of the plug-in status information is 0, that is, the plug-in status information indicates that the charging gun is not inserted into the charging interface of the target car", is met, it indicates that the target car currently has the charging gun unplugged. At this time, the fourth target functional component is controlled to enter a user-controllable state through the fifth control instruction, thereby restoring the functional use of some functional components on the target car.

[0107] In this embodiment, when selecting the fourth target functional component, a functional component that has no effect on the basic functions of the vehicle such as driving or safety can be selected as the fourth target functional component. For example, a functional component such as an audio-visual entertainment system or an atmosphere light can be selected as the fourth target functional component.

When the computer program is read out and run, the method for prompting the usage status of the vehicle charging gun in this embodiment is executed, thereby achieving the same technical effect as the method for prompting the usage status of the vehicle charging gun in the embodiment.
