Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of new energy vehicle charging, and specifically relates to a charging warehouse, a charging station management system and a charging planning method. Background Art

[0002] With the development of science and technology, more and more new energy vehicles are put into use, and rechargeable vehicles are the most typical products. Most rechargeable vehicles use electricity as a power source, which greatly saves energy consumption compared to fuel vehicles. With the increase of new energy vehicles, public charging piles have also begun to increase, and the number of related supporting charging infrastructure has also begun to increase.

[0003] Currently, charging piles are technically divided into private and public charging piles. Private charging piles are generally installed in the parking spaces of car owners' underground garages, while public charging piles are more popular. They are not only installed in parking spaces in underground garages, but also widely distributed in ground parking lots and highway service areas to meet the public's charging needs for new energy vehicles during travel.

[0004] The public new energy vehicle charging piles set up in the prior art are installed in a fixed form on the parking spaces in parking lots and charging areas. Since the new energy vehicles are designed at the beginning in order to continue people's car-using habits, the charging port is usually set at the position of the fuel port of the fuel vehicle. However, the setting positions of the charging ports of new energy vehicles of different brands and models still have certain differences, such as being set on different sides of the vehicle body. In order to adapt to this difference, the charging piles are often set at the rear of the charging parking space. When the new energy vehicle wants to charge, in order to facilitate driving in and out of the parking space, the vehicle is often parked in the form of reversing into the warehouse. Since the existing new energy vehicles are highly intelligent, they are often equipped with auxiliary devices such as reversing images or 360-degree panoramic views. However, due to the limitation of the camera frame in the reversing image or the 360-degree panoramic view, there will inevitably be blind spots. The driver will not be able to observe the charging pile set at the rear of the vehicle under the influence of the blind spots. At this time, the rear bumper of the vehicle is prone to collision with the charging pile, resulting in damage to the bumper paint, deformation and cracking of the bumper, and even damage to the charging pile. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a charging warehouse, a charging station management system and a charging planning method, which solves the problem in the prior art that new energy vehicles and charging piles are prone to collision due to fixed charging piles being in the driver's blind spot.

The identification system is used to identify objects outside the warehouse body, and the display unit is used to feedback information to the user.

[0012] Furthermore, a distance measuring unit and a feedback unit are also provided inside the compartment body. The distance measuring unit is used to detect the position of the vehicle, and the feedback unit is used to feed back the position of the vehicle to the driver.

[0013] In the second aspect, the present application provides a charging station management system, including a parking module and a processor. The charging station also includes several charging compartments as described in the first aspect. The parking module and the several charging compartments are connected to the processor. The parking module is used to collect vehicle information and can transmit data with the terminal device at the driver. The processor can receive information from the parking module and the charging compartment and send charging information to the terminal device at the driver.

[0014] In the third aspect, the present application provides a charging planning method, which runs under the charging station management system described in the second aspect. The parking module includes a camera that can take images and a storage unit. The storage unit stores image information of each new energy vehicle. When the camera takes a picture of the vehicle to be entered, it is compared with the data in the storage unit to determine the model information of the vehicle to be entered, and then the location of the vehicle's charging port is determined. After the processor allocates the corresponding charging compartment, the vehicle model and charging port location information are sent to the shifting system of the corresponding charging compartment.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 2As shown, the present embodiment provides a charging warehouse, including a warehouse body 1, at least one first opening 2 is provided on the side surface of the warehouse body 1, and the first opening 2 is used for vehicles to pass through. In the present embodiment, two first openings 2 are provided, and the two first openings 2 are arranged opposite to each other on the warehouse body 1. A second opening 13 is also provided on the warehouse body 1, and rolling shutters are provided on the first opening 2 and the second opening 13. A photovoltaic system 3 is provided above the warehouse body 1, and the photovoltaic system 3 is connected to the charging gun through a charging line, wherein the photovoltaic system 3 includes a solar photovoltaic array and an energy storage battery, and the solar photovoltaic array converts solar energy into electrical energy and then stores the electrical energy in the energy storage battery through a DC / DC power conversion module, and the energy storage battery is connected to the charging line, and a shift system is provided inside the warehouse body 1, and the upper end of the shift system is fixedly arranged on the upper end surface inside the warehouse body 1, and the lower end of the shift system is connected to the charging The charging cable and the charging gun are connected by a wire, and the lower end of the shifting system can move horizontally. With such an arrangement, the shifting system can be used to move the positions of the charging cables and the charging guns in the warehouse body 1 to adapt to the positions of the charging ports of different new energy vehicles. The driver only needs to drive the car into the warehouse body 1 to park, and there is no need to readjust the position of the car body to adapt to the fixed charging pile. The two first openings 2 can facilitate the driver to drive the new energy vehicle into the warehouse body 1 at one time in both directions, without adjusting the car body to adapt to the orientation of the charging warehouse. The second opening 13 can facilitate the entry and exit of drivers and passengers when new energy vehicles are parked in the warehouse body 1 and the maintenance of the charging warehouse by staff. The rolling shutter door can be opened when entering and exiting the new energy vehicle, and is closed at other times, thereby improving the rain and dustproof performance of the charging warehouse.

[0031] Specifically, the shifting system includes at least one rotatable support member, which is rotatably mounted on the upper end surface of the interior of the warehouse body 1, and the support member is connected to the charging cable. In the present embodiment, the shifting system includes two support members, and the support member is a driven sprocket 4, and the two driven sprockets 4 are connected by a chain 5, and a first connecting member is provided on the chain 5, and the first connecting member is used to install the charging cable. With such a configuration, the moving trajectory of the first connecting member can be made to fit the shape of the circumference of the new energy vehicle through the arranged driven sprocket 4 and chain 5, thereby improving the displacement effect of the shifting system on the charging cable and the charging gun in the warehouse body 1.

[0032] Furthermore, the first connecting member includes a connecting plate 6, the upper end of the connecting plate 6 is fixedly set on the chain 5, and the lower end of the connecting plate 6 is rotatably provided with a hinge ear 7, and the hinge ear 7 is hinged with a mounting sleeve 8, and the mounting sleeve 8 is used to install the charging cable. In this way, through the setting of the connecting plate 6 and the hinge ear 7, when the driver drags the charging gun, the mounting sleeve 8 can perform adaptive floating adjustment of the position of the charging gun, thereby avoiding excessive bending of the charging cable at the mounting sleeve 8 when it is loaded.

[0033] Furthermore, a second connecting member 9 is provided on the chain 5, one end of the second connecting member 9 is hinged on the chain 5 through a torsion spring 10, and the charging cable is overlapped on the other end of the second connecting member 9. In this way, through the second connecting member 9 and the torsion spring 10, the charging cable and the charging gun can be stored in the upper part of the warehouse body 1 without the action of external force. Under the action of external force, the second connecting member 9 rotates, and the charging cable and the charging gun can move up and down to adapt to charging ports at different heights. At the same time, there is no need for the operator to lift and drag the heavier charging cable and charging gun, which saves time and effort.

[0034] In this embodiment, the shifting system also includes a displacement motor 11, which is arranged on the upper end surface inside the warehouse body 1. The output shaft of the displacement motor 11 is connected to a driving sprocket 12 through a reducer, and the driving sprocket 12 is meshed with the chain 5. With this arrangement, the charging gun and the charging cable can be automatically moved in the horizontal direction through the arranged displacement motor 11 and the driving sprocket 12, without the need for personnel to manually drag the charging gun.

[0035] Furthermore, an identification system 14 and a display unit are provided on the outer end face of the first opening 2 of the warehouse body 1. The identification system 14 is used to identify objects outside the warehouse body 1. The identification system 14 is a camera in this embodiment, and the display unit is used to feedback information to the user. With such a configuration, through the set identification system 14, it is possible to identify whether the object outside the warehouse body 1 is a new energy vehicle in order to open the corresponding rolling door, and at the same time identify the model of the new energy vehicle, and can transmit the corresponding control signal to the shifting system so as to transfer the charging gun to the side of the charging port before driving in.

[0036] In this embodiment, a ranging unit and a feedback unit are also provided inside the warehouse 1. The ranging unit is used to detect the vehicle position, and the feedback unit is used to feed back the vehicle position to the driver. In this embodiment, the ranging unit can be a distance sensor, an infrared sensor, etc. When the vehicle enters the threshold range monitored by the sensor, the signal is transmitted to the feedback unit. The feedback unit can be a sound alarm, a light alarm, etc.

[0037] In this embodiment, a ramp 15 is further provided at the first opening 2, and the ramp 15 is detachably connected to the compartment body 1. With such a configuration, the ramp 15 can facilitate vehicles that need to be charged to smoothly drive into the charging compartment. At the same time, the ramp 15 can also remind other vehicles that do not need to be charged that there are foreign objects here, and remind the drivers of other vehicles that parking their vehicles here will affect the entry and exit of charging vehicles.

[0038] In this embodiment, a charging station management system is also provided. Figure 3As shown, the charging station includes a parking module and a processor. The charging station also includes the charging compartment mentioned above. The parking module and several charging compartments are connected to the processor. The parking module is used to collect vehicle and driver information. The processor can receive information from the parking module and the charging compartment and send charging information to the driver.

[0039] In this embodiment, a charging planning method is also provided, which is applicable to the above-mentioned charging station management system. The parking module includes a camera that can take images and a storage unit. The storage unit stores picture information of each new energy vehicle. When the camera takes a picture of the vehicle to be entered, it is compared with the data in the storage unit to determine the model information of the vehicle to be entered, and then the position of the vehicle's charging port is determined. After the processor allocates the corresponding charging compartment, the vehicle model and charging port position information are sent to the shifting system of the corresponding charging compartment. When the vehicle enters the charging compartment and stops, the shifting system moves the charging gun to the corresponding charging port.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, the specific steps include: S1. The processor reads the number of free charging compartments, queueable charging compartments and non-queuable charging compartments. When the number of free charging compartments and queueable charging compartments is 0, entry is prohibited; otherwise, the parking module identifies the vehicle information, reads whether it is a new energy vehicle, the license plate information and the vehicle model information, so as to facilitate the subsequent vehicle correspondence and the control of the shift module. After meeting the requirements, it is released and the entry time is started synchronously. Among them, the free charging compartment is the charging compartment that is not performing charging operations, the queueable charging compartment is the charging compartment where the vehicle is in the charging operation and there is no queue outside the charging compartment, and the non-queued charging compartment is the charging compartment where the vehicle is in the charging operation and there is a queue outside the charging compartment; S2, the processor reads the status of the charging warehouse. When there is an idle charging pile, the processor sends the location information of the charging warehouse to the driver's terminal device, and the display unit of the charging warehouse displays the corresponding vehicle information to prompt the driver, and jumps to step S6; otherwise, jumps to step S3; S3, the processor reads the queuing charging station with the shortest estimated remaining charging time, and sends the location information and charging information of the queuing charging station to the terminal device at the driver, and the display unit of the charging station displays the corresponding vehicle information to prompt the driver; S4, when the identification system 14 corresponding to the queueable charging compartment identifies a queued vehicle within time T1, the corresponding queueable charging compartment is converted into a non-queued charging compartment, and the queue starts to wait; when the identification system 14 corresponding to the charging compartment fails to identify the queued vehicle within time T1, the processor sends real-time parking billing information to the terminal device at the driver's place and jumps to step S7, so as to avoid the queued vehicle not charging and occupying the queue quota; S5. When the vehicle in the corresponding queueable charging compartment completes charging and drives out, the queued vehicle enters the charging compartment within time T2, the charging time starts, and the non-queued charging compartment is converted into a queueable charging compartment; otherwise, the real-time parking billing information is sent to the terminal device at the driver, and the process jumps to step S7 to convert the corresponding charging compartment into an idle charging compartment; Here, time T1 and time T2 may be time thresholds such as 5 minutes and 10 minutes.

[0041] S6, the queued vehicles start charging; S7. The vehicle leaves the venue after payment.

The charging bin according to claim 1, characterized in that: A distance measuring unit and a feedback unit are also arranged inside the compartment body (1); the distance measuring unit is used to detect the position of the vehicle, and the feedback unit is used to feed back the position of the vehicle to the driver.

8. A charging station management system, characterized in that: The charging station comprises a parking module and a processor. The charging station also comprises several charging compartments as described in claim 1. The parking module and the several charging compartments are connected to the processor. The parking module is used to collect vehicle information and can transmit data with the terminal device at the driver. The processor can receive information from the parking module and the charging compartment and send charging information to the terminal device at the driver.

9. A charging planning method, characterized in that: When operating under the charging station management system described in claim 8, the parking module includes a camera that can capture images and a storage unit. The storage unit stores image information of each new energy vehicle. When the camera captures the image of the vehicle to be entered, it is compared with the data in the storage unit to determine the model information of the vehicle to be entered, and then the location of the vehicle's charging port is determined. After the processor allocates the corresponding charging compartment, the model and charging port location information are sent to the shifting system of the corresponding charging compartment. When the vehicle enters the charging compartment and stops, the shifting system moves the charging gun to the corresponding charging port.

10. The charging planning method according to claim 9, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: S1. The processor reads the number of free charging compartments, queued charging compartments, and non-queued charging compartments. When the number of free charging compartments and queued charging compartments is 0, entry is prohibited; Otherwise, the parking module identifies the vehicle information and interacts with the terminal device at the driver's place. The vehicle information meets the requirements and the terminal device confirms the entry and then releases it, and starts counting the entry time synchronously. An idle charging compartment is a charging compartment that is not performing charging operations, a queuing charging compartment is a charging compartment that is performing charging operations and there are no vehicles in a queue outside the charging compartment, and a non-queuing charging compartment is a charging compartment that is performing charging operations and there are vehicles in a queue outside the charging compartment. S2, the processor reads the status of the charging warehouse. When there is an idle charging pile, the processor sends the location information of the charging warehouse to the driver and jumps to step S6; otherwise, jumps to step S3; S3. The processor reads the charging station with the shortest estimated remaining charging time, and sends the location information and charging information of the charging station to the terminal device at the driver; S4, when the identification system (14) corresponding to the queuing charging compartment identifies a queuing vehicle within time T1, the corresponding queuing charging compartment is converted into a non-queuing charging compartment, and the vehicle starts queuing; When the identification system (14) corresponding to the queuing charging compartment fails to identify the queuing vehicle within time T1, the processor sends real-time parking fee information to the terminal device at the driver and jumps to step S7; S5. When the vehicle in the corresponding queueable charging compartment completes charging and drives out, the queued vehicle enters the charging compartment within time T2, the charging time starts, and the non-queued charging compartment is converted into a queueable charging compartment; otherwise, the real-time parking billing information is sent to the terminal device at the driver, and the process jumps to step S7 to convert the corresponding charging compartment into an idle charging compartment; S6, the queued vehicles start charging; S7. The vehicle leaves the venue after payment.
