Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of charging pile payment, and in particular to a split charging pile payment method and equipment. Background Art

[0002] A charging pile is a fixed or mobile device that provides electric vehicles with electrical energy through a dedicated interface. According to the voltage type, it can be divided into AC charging piles and DC charging piles. AC charging piles are usually used for slow charging, while DC charging piles are used for fast charging. With the development of electric vehicles, charging piles have also ushered in explosive growth. All parts of the country are encouraging and supporting the construction and installation of charging piles to meet the charging needs of electric vehicles. However, due to the fixed power design, it may cause waste of resources under low load conditions. In addition, its investment cost is relatively high because it is necessary to configure equipment separately for each charging point, and in some cases it may not be able to meet high power requirements.

[0003] The charging pile is a system composed of multiple charging modules that can flexibly allocate charging power and is suitable for a variety of charging needs. Compared with single-function DC charging piles, the charging pile uses a modular design to make equipment maintenance and upgrades more convenient, while reducing overall service interruptions caused by individual equipment failures and improving overall resource utilization efficiency. The charging pile is mainly composed of a host and multiple terminals of various types, and charging modules can be shared between different vehicles. At present, all payment types are on the terminal side. For example, installing POS machines, card swiping boards, and pasting various payment QR codes on the terminal causes waste of resources and the terminal appearance is not beautiful because there are too many pasted. At the same time, each terminal transmits the charging process and cost information to the data management platform and the charging payment settlement system for storage and calculation, which will cause blockage and delay of the communication route. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a split charging pile payment method and equipment to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art terminal payment that causes waste of resources and blockage of communication lines.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] The present invention provides a payment method based on a split charging stack, which is applied to a host. The payment method includes:

[0007] S101, receiving terminal number information and terminal charging metering information;

[0008] S102, uploading terminal charging metering information to the charging payment settlement system;

[0009] S103, receiving settlement information from the charging payment settlement system;

[0010] S104, displaying settlement information and sending a payment link to the user terminal, and receiving payment completion information;

[0011] S105, sending payment completion information to the terminal.

[0012] Furthermore, the terminal number information is generated based on a touch operation on a display module of the host, and the settlement information is displayed on the display module of the host, and the settlement information includes a payment QR code.

[0013] Furthermore, the payment completion information is sent via wireless communication.

[0014] Furthermore, the user pays through the user terminal or through the host.

[0016] S201, sending charging measurement information to a host;

[0017] S202, receiving charging fee payment completion information;

[0018] S203, unlocking the charging gun.

[0019] Furthermore, the charging metering information is sent via wireless communication.

[0020] A split charging stack host, characterized in that the host comprises:

[0021] The first wireless communication module is used to establish a communication connection with the terminal, the charging payment settlement system, and the user terminal, receive and upload the terminal charging metering information, receive the charging payment settlement system settlement information, send the payment link, and receive and send the payment completion information;

[0022] Display module, used to select terminal number and display settlement information;

[0023] The payment module, including a POS machine and a card swiping board, is used to provide non-user terminal payment methods.

[0024] Furthermore, the first wireless communication module is also used to send charging process information.

[0025] Furthermore, an indicator light module is included, and the indicator light module includes two power indicator lights, a normal operation indicator light and a fault indicator light.

[0026] A split charging stack terminal, characterized in that the terminal comprises:

[0027] A second wireless communication module is used to establish a communication connection with the host, send charging metering information, and receive charging fee payment completion information;

[0028] A charging gun, used to transfer power from the host to the battery pack of the user product;

[0029] The locking module prevents the charging gun from accidentally disconnecting during use and is disconnected when the second wireless communication module receives the charging fee payment completion information.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0031] The present invention discloses a split charging pile payment method, which receives the charging process and cost information of the terminal through the host. The host, as the hub of the entire system, is responsible for centrally receiving and processing the charging data and cost information from each charging terminal, and transmitting all the information to the data management platform and the charging payment settlement system for storage and calculation. The host transmits the collected terminal data to the data management platform and the charging payment settlement system in real time. Compared with the independent transmission of a single terminal, this batch processing method greatly reduces the network communication volume, improves the data transmission efficiency, and reduces the communication cost. Each charging terminal is only responsible for charging interaction with the user's vehicle and communicates with the host wirelessly. There is no need to independently handle complex payment and data processing tasks, which not only reduces the cost and complexity of the terminal, but also facilitates unified management and maintenance. It supports multiple payment methods to meet the payment habits and needs of different users. Users can complete the payment operation through mobile phone APP or applet, POS machine or QR code on the charging pile, etc. At the same time, since there is no need to install too many communication modules and payment devices on the terminal, the overall appearance of the charging pile is more concise and beautiful.

[0064] S305, the host 500 receives payment completion information;

[0065] S306 , the host 500 sends payment completion information to the terminal 600 .

[0066] In a specific implementation, data can be transmitted between the host 500 and the terminal 600, between the host and the charging payment settlement system, between the charging payment settlement system and the data management platform, and between the host and the user terminal through mobile network communication, wireless network communication (for example, Wi-Fi), etc.

[0067] In a specific implementation, the charging metering information includes key data such as charging time, charging power, and charging rate. The terminal 600 monitors and records these key data in real time and uploads these charging metering information to the host 500 through a preset communication protocol (such as TCP / IP transmission control protocol and Internet protocol, MQTT message queue telemetry transmission protocol, etc.) and a communication method (such as mobile network communication, Wi-Fi wireless LAN, etc.). The host 500 receives and processes the charging data from each terminal 600.

[0068] Furthermore, the host 500 will perform preliminary verification and collation of the charging data to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data. Subsequently, the host 500 will upload the collated charging metering information to the charging payment settlement system through a secure and reliable channel (such as HTTPS hypertext transfer protocol security). This system is responsible for calculating the charging fee to be paid based on the charging metering information and preparing for the subsequent payment settlement process.

[0069] Furthermore, after receiving the settlement information returned by the charging payment settlement system, the host 500 will immediately display this information and the corresponding payment QR code on the display module 502 of the charging terminal. The user can complete the payment by scanning the QR code or entering the payment password. In addition, the host 500 will also open the POS card swiping channel to provide convenience for those users who are accustomed to using bank cards to pay.

[0070] Furthermore, after the user completes the payment, the payment platform (such as Alipay, WeChat Pay, etc.) will send a payment success message to the charging payment settlement system. After verifying that the payment is successful, the charging payment settlement system will return the payment completion message to the host 500. After receiving the payment completion message, the host 500 will update the payment status record in its internal database and prepare to perform subsequent operations (such as stopping charging, releasing the charging gun 602, etc.).

[0071] Furthermore, the host 500 will send the payment completion information back to the charging terminal 600. After receiving the payment completion information, the terminal 600 will stop the charging operation of the electric vehicle (if the charging has not been completed) and update the information on its display module 502 to reflect the payment completion status. At the same time, the charging terminal 600 can also send a payment success notification to the user (such as through APP push, voice prompt, etc.) to enhance the user experience.

[0072] Embodiment 4:

[0073] like Figure 4 As shown, an application scenario of a payment transaction based on a split-type charging stack is provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0074] When a user uses the charging system for the first time, he needs to complete the account registration and login process through a personal user terminal (such as a smartphone or tablet) to ensure identity authentication and secure access. Once the login is successful, the user can start to enjoy the charging service. When the user's electric car is connected to the charging terminal 600 and the charging process is started, the built-in locking module 603 will be activated to ensure the safety of the equipment during the charging process and prevent the charging gun 602 from loosening during the charging process. At the same time, the charging terminal 600 begins to record the charging metering information in real time, including key data such as charging time and power consumption.

[0075] This information is instantly transmitted to the host 500 through the second communication module 601 on the terminal 600. As an information hub, the host is not only responsible for receiving and processing data from each charging terminal, but also responsible for uploading this data to the charging payment settlement system. Based on the charging metering information, the system quickly calculates the charging cost and generates settlement information and returns it to the host 500. At the same time, all charging record data information is also synchronously uploaded to the data management platform for long-term storage and intelligent analysis, providing data support for optimizing charging services and improving user experience.

[0076] After the host 500 receives the charging settlement information, the display module 502 equipped with it will immediately display the charging fee details, display the payment QR code and open a variety of close-range payment channels (such as POS card swiping, NFC touch payment, etc.), so that users can choose payment methods according to their personal habits. In addition, the system will also send a payment link to the user terminal to provide a remote payment channel. After the user completes the payment, whether it is directly operated through the user terminal or selecting the corresponding terminal 600 on the host 500 for close-range payment, once the payment is successful, the host 500 will immediately send a payment completion signal to the charging terminal 600, and the locking module 603 will be unlocked immediately, allowing the user to safely remove the charging gun 602 and complete the entire charging and payment process.
