[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] The terms "first" and "second" in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish different objects rather than to describe a specific order of objects. For example, the first charging pile and the second charging pile are used to distinguish different charging piles rather than to describe a specific order of charging piles.

[0033] In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0034] To facilitate understanding of the technical solution of the present application, the application scenarios of the embodiments of the present application are introduced below.

[0035] For example, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an application scenario of an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, in the charging station, multiple charging piles (1#-12#) are distributed. When the vehicle to be charged is a large vehicle and the charging pile that matches the charging power of the vehicle to be charged is the 1# charging pile, 1# is difficult for the vehicle to be charged to reach, which may cause traffic congestion in the charging station or scratch other vehicles, reducing the user experience. It should be understood that the above-mentioned illustration of the charging station is only exemplary, and the distribution structure of the charging station in actual application is not specifically limited in the embodiments of this application.

[0036] To this end, in the embodiment of the present application, when the 1# charging pile is difficult to reach, an easily accessible and available charging pile, such as the 10# charging pile, is pushed to the vehicle to be charged. When the rated output power of the 10# charging pile is less than the charging power of the vehicle to be charged, the output power of other charging piles (for example, the 1# charging pile and the 7# charging pile, etc.) is called to charge the vehicle to be charged through the 10# charging pile, thereby improving the user experience.

[0037] The technical content of this application will be introduced below in conjunction with embodiments.

[0038] See also Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of a charging pile system provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the charging pile system includes: a controller (not shown in the figure), multiple switch modules and multiple charging piles; some of the multiple charging piles are interconnected through the switch modules.

[0040] The following will introduce the implementation method of interconnecting some charging piles through switch modules in the charging pile.

[0041] For example, for any charging pile, such as charging pile X, charging pile X is connected to charging pile 1 through switch module 1, and charging pile X can also be connected to charging pile 2 through switch module 2. Of course, in the entire power station, there can be multiple groups of charging piles connected by switch modules, and one charging pile can also be connected to multiple different other charging piles.

[0042] Furthermore, in order to reduce the interconnection cost of charging piles in a charging station, in an embodiment of the present application, only charging piles that are farther away can be interconnected through a switch module. For example, the second charging pile has a greater output power than the first charging pile, the first charging pile is close to the road side (easy for vehicles to reach), and the second charging pile is close to the inside (not easy for vehicles to reach), then the first charging pile and the second charging pile can be interconnected through a switch module, so that the first charging pile that is easy to reach can call the module in the second charging pile to output more power. In addition, only charging piles with a large difference in rated output power can be interconnected through a switch module. For example, the rated output power of the first charging pile is small, the rated output power of the second charging pile is large, and the output power difference between the first charging pile and the second charging pile is greater than a certain threshold, that is, the output power of the two charging piles is large. The first charging pile and the second charging pile are interconnected through a switch module, so that the first charging pile with a smaller rated output power can output a larger power.

[0043] Exemplarily, the rated output power of the first charging pile may be 200 kW, and the rated output power of the second charging pile may be 480 kW. The first charging pile and the second charging pile are interconnected through a switch module. After the switch module between the first charging pile and the second charging pile is closed, the first charging pile can directly call all the power modules in the second charging pile to output 480 kW of power.

[0044] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the number of charging piles in the charging pile system is greater than M, that is, the M charging piles are part of the charging piles in the charging pile system.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the installation position of each charging pile and the rated output power of each charging pile are not specifically limited. For example, the rated output power of charging pile X is 4KW, the rated output power of charging pile 1 is 7KW, etc.

[0046] In the embodiments of the present application, the type of the switch module is not specifically limited. For example, the switch module may be a contactor module, or a controllable switch module such as a relay module.

[0047] In one possible implementation, each charging pile is provided with a charging gun, which is used to charge the vehicle to be charged, and the charging gun includes a power line and a communication line. The communication lines of the charging guns of each charging pile are connected together, and the power lines of some charging piles are connected through a switch module. In the embodiment of the present application, the power line of the charging gun is used instead of the gun line, which is conducive to reducing the cost of the charging pile.

[0048] Exemplarily, the communication lines of each charging gun can be connected to the same switch to achieve data exchange between charging piles.

[0049] In the embodiments of the present application, the charging piles interconnected by the switch module are not specifically limited. For example, the charging piles connected to each other may be easily accessible charging piles and inaccessible charging piles, or may be charging piles with larger rated output power and charging piles with smaller rated output power.

[0050] The controller is used to match an easily accessible and available charging pile as a first target charging pile and notify the vehicle to be charged when the road in the charging station is congested or the vehicles to be charged include large vehicles; when the rated output power of the first target charging pile is less than the charging power of the vehicle to be charged, turn on at least one switch module connected to the first target charging pile, so that the first target charging pile borrows the output power of other charging piles to charge the vehicle to be charged.

[0051] It should be noted that the easily accessible charging piles described in the embodiments of the present application are charging piles on the side or charging piles that are close to the vehicle to be charged.

[0052] Furthermore, when there are multiple idle charging piles on the side of the charging station, a charging pile that is closer to the vehicle to be charged is selected as the first target charging pile to charge the vehicle to be charged.

[0053] Furthermore, when there is no idle charging pile on the side of the charging station, a charging pile near the side is selected as the first target charging pile to charge the vehicle to be charged. By analogy, the present application embodiment will not be repeated for all situations.

[0054] In the embodiments of the present application, the method of notifying the vehicle to be charged after determining the first target charging pile is not specifically limited. For example, the controller can notify the vehicle to be charged through a display device provided in the charging station, that is, the information of the first target charging pile is notified to the vehicle to be charged, or the information of the first target charging pile is displayed on the vehicle computer of the vehicle to be charged through communication.

[0055] It should be understood that the road congestion conditions described in the embodiments of the present application can be obtained by analyzing the road images in the charging station collected by the camera through the computing device. Among them, the technology of analyzing the image by the computing device is a mature technical means and will not be repeated here.

[0056] For ease of understanding, in the embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 The charging pile X in the figure is used as the first target charging pile to introduce the technical solution of the present application.

[0057] In one possible implementation, the controller is used to determine the second target charging pile according to the charging power of the vehicle to be charged when the rated output power of the first target charging pile is less than the charging power of the vehicle to be charged, and the rated output power of the second target charging pile is greater than or equal to the charging power of the vehicle to be charged; and turn on the switch module between the first target charging pile and the second target charging pile so that the first target charging pile borrows the output power of the second target charging pile to charge the vehicle to be charged.

[0058] For example, if the rated output power of charging pile X (first target charging pile) is 4KW and the charging power of the vehicle to be charged is 5KW, then charging pile X cannot meet the charging demand of the vehicle to be charged. In this embodiment, when charging pile X fully calls the output power of other charging piles, that is, when the output power of 5KW is used to charge the vehicle to be charged, one or more second target charging piles are determined from other charging piles connected to charging pile X through the switch module, and the switch module between charging pile X and the second target charging pile is turned on, so that charging pile X charges the vehicle to be charged by calling the output power of 5KW.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the second target charging piles is not specifically limited. For example, the second target charging pile may be one charging pile or multiple charging piles.

[0060] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present application, the charging piles with lower utilization rate are preferentially determined as the second target charging piles, or the charging piles that are difficult to reach are determined as the second target charging piles. In the embodiment of the present application, by determining the charging piles with lower utilization rate or difficult to reach as the second target charging piles, it is helpful to increase the revenue of the charging station.

[0061] In another possible implementation, the controller is used to determine the third target charging pile according to the charging power of the vehicle to be charged and the rated output power of the first target charging pile when the rated output power of the first target charging pile is less than the charging power of the vehicle to be charged, wherein the sum of the rated output power of the first charging pile and the rated output power of the third target charging pile is greater than or equal to the charging power of the vehicle to be charged; and turn on the switch module between the first target charging pile and the third target charging pile so that the first target charging pile borrows the output power of the third target charging pile to charge the vehicle to be charged.

[0062] For example, if the rated output power of charging pile X (first target charging pile) is 4KW and the charging power of the vehicle to be charged is 5KW, then charging pile X cannot meet the charging demand of the vehicle to be charged. In this embodiment, charging pile X can partially call the output power of other charging piles, that is, call 1KW output power from other charging piles to charge the vehicle to be charged. Specifically, one or more third target charging piles can be determined from other charging piles connected to charging pile X through the switch module, and the switch module between charging pile X and the third target charging pile is turned on, so that charging pile X uses its own 4KW output power and the 1KW output power of the called third target charging pile to charge the vehicle to be charged.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the third target charging piles is not specifically limited. For example, the third target charging pile may be one charging pile or multiple charging piles.

[0064] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present application, the charging piles with low utilization rate are preferentially determined as the third target charging piles, or the charging piles that are difficult to reach are determined as the third target charging piles. In the embodiment of the present application, by determining the charging piles with low utilization rate or difficult to reach as the third target charging piles, it is helpful to increase the revenue of the charging station.

[0065] In order to further reduce the number of charging piles occupied by the devices to be charged, the embodiment of the present application further connects the power modules of some charging piles through switch devices based on the characteristic that the charging pile includes multiple power modules, so that the first target charging pile calls the output power of some power modules of other charging piles to charge the vehicle to be charged.

[0066] See also Figure 3 , which is a schematic diagram of another charging pile system provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0067] like Figure 3 As shown, the charging piles (charging pile 1-charging pile M) each include at least one power module, and each switch module (switch module 1-switch module M) includes at least one switch device; for any charging pile, for example, charging pile X, the power module of charging pile X (not shown in the figure) is connected to the power module 11, power module 12 and power module 13 of charging pile 1 respectively through switch devices CB11, CB12 and CB13; the power module of charging pile X is connected to the power module 21, power module 22 and power module 23 of charging pile 2 respectively through switch devices CB21, CB22 and CB23... The power module of charging pile X is connected to the power module M1, power module M2 and power module M3 of charging pile M respectively through switch devices CBM1, CBM2 and CBM3.

[0068] In the embodiments of the present application, the number of power modules of each charging pile, the rated output power of each power module, and the number of switching devices in the switch module are not specifically limited.

[0069] The controller is specifically used to determine at least one target power module in an idle state from the charging piles in a charging state when the rated output power of the first target charging pile is less than the charging power of the vehicle to be charged, and to turn on the switching device between the first target charging pile and the target power module, so that the first target charging pile borrows the output power of the target power module to charge the vehicle to be charged.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, by calling a charging pile in a charging state, and there is an idle power module in the charging pile, and it can output power, so that the vehicle to be charged only occupies one charging pile (the first target charging pile) to achieve charging. In addition, by calling a charging pile in a charging state, and the output power of the idle power module in the charging pile, the embodiment of the present application can also reduce the power waste of the charging pile called to output power, which helps to increase the revenue of the charging station.

[0071] In one possible implementation, the controller is used to determine at least one target power module in an idle state from the charging piles in a charging state according to the charging power of the vehicle to be charged, when the rated output power of the first target charging pile is less than the charging power of the vehicle to be charged, and the sum of the rated output powers of the target power modules is greater than or equal to the charging power of the vehicle to be charged; and turn on the switching device between the first target charging pile and the target power module so that the first target charging pile borrows the output power of the target power module to charge the vehicle to be charged.

[0072] For example, if the rated output power of charging pile X (the first target charging pile) is 4KW and the charging power of the vehicle to be charged is 5KW, then charging pile X cannot meet the charging demand of the vehicle to be charged. In this embodiment, charging pile X can fully call the output power of the power modules of other charging piles, that is, call the 5KW output power of other charging piles to charge the vehicle to be charged. Specifically, the target power module can be determined from other power modules connected to charging pile X through switch devices (these power modules are all in an idle state, and the corresponding charging piles are in a charging state), and the switch module between charging pile X and the target power module is turned on, so that charging pile X can call the 5KW output power of the target power module to charge the vehicle to be charged.

[0073] For example, the charging piles in the charging state include charging pile 1, charging pile 2, and charging pile 3. Among them, charging pile 2 is in a full-load charging state, and one or more target power modules are determined from the power modules in the idle state of charging pile 1 and charging pile 3.

[0074] In another possible implementation, the controller is used to determine at least one target power module in an idle state from the charging piles in a charging state based on the charging power of the vehicle to be charged and the rated output power of the first target charging pile when the rated output power of the first target charging pile is less than the charging power of the vehicle to be charged, and the sum of the rated output powers of the target power modules is greater than or equal to the charging power of the vehicle to be charged; and turn on the switching device between the first target charging pile and the target power module so that the first target charging pile borrows the output power of the target power module to charge the vehicle to be charged.

[0075] For example, if the rated output power of charging pile X (the first target charging pile) is 4KW and the charging power of the vehicle to be charged is 5KW, then charging pile X cannot meet the charging demand of the vehicle to be charged. In this embodiment, charging pile X can partially call the output power of the power modules of other charging piles, that is, only call the output power of 1KW to charge the vehicle to be charged. Specifically, the target power module can be determined from other power modules connected to charging pile X through switching devices (the power module is in an idle state, and its corresponding charging pile is in a charging state), and the switch module between charging pile X and the second target charging pile is turned on, so that charging pile X uses its own 4KW output power and the called 1KW output power to charge the vehicle to be charged.

[0076] In order to encourage the vehicle to be charged to select the pushed charging pile for charging, in the embodiment of the present application, the charging pile is locked, and the locking state of the charging pile is released only when the charging gun of the pushed charging pile is connected to the vehicle to be charged. It can be understood that after being locked, the charging pile cannot charge other vehicles. The embodiment of the present application can improve the management efficiency of the charging station and reduce the management difficulty of the charging station through the above method.

[0077] Furthermore, in order to prevent other vehicles to be charged from selecting the pushed charging pile for charging, in an embodiment of the present application, the information of the target charging pile can be bound to the information of the vehicle to be charged. When the charging gun of the pushed charging pile is connected to the vehicle to be charged and it is confirmed that the vehicle to be charged is the corresponding vehicle, the locking state of the charging pile is released to prevent the charging pile from being occupied by other vehicles, thereby reducing the management difficulty of the charging station.

[0078] Exemplarily, all unused charging piles are in a locked state. If the charging pile system pushes charging pile X to the vehicle to be charged, and when the vehicle to be charged is connected to the charging gun of charging pile X, charging pile X is unlocked so that the vehicle to be charged can use charging pile X for charging; when the vehicle to be charged is connected to the charging gun of a non-charging pile X, the connected charging pile remains locked, and the vehicle to be charged cannot use the connected non-charging pile X for charging.

[0079] It should be noted that the number of first charging piles pushed by the charging pile system is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, the charging pile system pushes one or more charging piles. The vehicle to be charged can select the corresponding charging pile according to its own situation and connect the charging gun of the corresponding charging pile, unlocking the charging pile for charging. As mentioned in the previous embodiments, the power modules of some charging piles are connected through switching devices. If the power modules of all charging piles are interconnected through switching devices on this basis, all charging piles have outputs in various power ranges. Furthermore, the vehicle to be charged can choose a charging pile that is closer and easier to reach in the charging station for charging, without the need for the controller to recommend the corresponding charging pile, thereby reducing the cost of the charging pile system.

[0080] In addition, the present application embodiment provides a control method for a charging pile system, and its corresponding flow chart is as follows: Figure 4 shown.

[0081] Among them, the charging pile system includes: multiple switch modules and multiple charging piles; some of the multiple charging piles are interconnected through the switch modules.

[0082] like Figure 4 As shown, the control method of the charging pile system includes:

[0083] Step S410: When the road in the charging station is congested or the vehicles to be charged include large vehicles, the controller matches an easily accessible and available charging pile as a first target charging pile and notifies the vehicle to be charged.

[0084] The easily accessible charging piles described in the embodiments of the present application are charging piles on the side or charging piles that are close to the vehicle to be charged; the available charging piles are charging piles that are in an idle state.

[0085] In the embodiments of the present application, the method of notifying the vehicle to be charged after determining the first target charging pile is not specifically limited. For example, the controller can notify the vehicle to be charged through a display device provided in the charging station, that is, the information of the first target charging pile is notified to the vehicle to be charged, or the information of the first target charging pile is displayed on the vehicle computer of the vehicle to be charged through communication.

[0086] Step S420: When the rated output power of the first target charging pile is less than the charging power of the vehicle to be charged, the controller turns on at least one switch module connected to the first target charging pile, so that the first target charging pile borrows the output power of other charging piles to charge the vehicle to be charged.

[0087] In one possible implementation, when the rated output power of the first target charging pile is less than the charging power of the vehicle to be charged, the controller determines the second target charging pile according to the charging power of the vehicle to be charged, and the rated output power of the second target charging pile is greater than or equal to the charging power of the vehicle to be charged; the switch module between the first target charging pile and the second target charging pile is turned on, so that the first target charging pile borrows the output power of the second target charging pile to charge the vehicle to be charged.

[0088] In another possible implementation, when the rated output power of the first target charging pile is less than the charging power of the vehicle to be charged, the controller determines at least one target power module in an idle state from the charging pile in a charging state based on the charging power of the vehicle to be charged and the rated output power of the first target charging pile, and the sum of the rated output powers of the target power modules is greater than or equal to the charging power of the vehicle to be charged; turns on the switching device between the first target charging pile and the target power module, so that the first target charging pile borrows the output power of the target power module to charge the vehicle to be charged.

[0089] In order to further reduce the number of charging piles occupied by the devices to be charged, the embodiment of the present application further connects the power modules of some charging piles through switch devices based on the characteristic that the charging pile includes multiple power modules, so that the first target charging pile calls the output power of some power modules of other charging piles to charge the vehicle to be charged.

The embodiment of the present application can improve the management efficiency of the charging station and reduce the management difficulty of the charging station through the above method.

[0094] In the above-mentioned embodiment, when recommending charging piles for vehicles to be charged, the scale of the charging station is not fully considered. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, when the scale of the charging field is relatively large, the embodiment of the present application can guide the location of the target charging pile and the route to the target charging pile for the vehicle to be charged, so that the vehicle to be charged can smoothly reach the target charging pile.

[0095] In addition, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, and a schematic diagram of the electronic device is shown in FIG. Figure 5 .

[0096] In the embodiments of the present application, the type of electronic device is not specifically limited. For example, the electronic device may be a mobile terminal device such as a mobile phone and a tablet computer, or may be a car computer, that is, an in-vehicle infotainment product installed in a car.

[0097] like Figure 5 As shown, the electronic device includes: a processor 510 and a display 520;

[0098] Processor 510 is used to send the charging power of the vehicle to be charged to the charging pile system, so that when the road in the charging station is congested or the vehicles to be charged include large vehicles, the controller matches an easily accessible and available charging pile as the first target charging pile, and sends the information of the first target charging pile to the processor; wherein, some of the multiple charging piles are interconnected through a switch module, and when the rated output power of the first target charging pile is less than the charging power of the vehicle to be charged, at least one switch module connected to the first target charging pile is turned on, so that the first target charging pile borrows the output power of other charging piles to charge the vehicle to be charged.

[0099] In the embodiment of the present application, the communication method between the processor 510 and the charging pile system is not specifically limited. For example, the communication between the processor 510 and the charging pile system is realized through Bluetooth technology, or the communication between the processor 510 and the charging pile system is realized through a network.

[0100] In the embodiment of the present application, the charging pile system can identify the vehicle to be charged through the camera device and determine whether the vehicle to be charged is a large vehicle. In addition, the processor can also send the vehicle data of the vehicle to be charged to the charging pile system so that the charging pile system can determine whether the vehicle to be charged is a large vehicle based on the vehicle data.

[0101] The display 520 is used to display the information about the first target charging pile received by the processor.

[0102] In the embodiment of the present application, the charging pile system interconnects some charging piles, and when the charging pile that matches the power of the vehicle to be charged is difficult to reach, matches the easily accessible and available charging pile as the target charging pile, and notifies the vehicle to be charged; when the rated output power of the target charging pile is less than the charging power of the vehicle to be charged, at least one switch module connected to the target charging pile is turned on, so that the target charging pile borrows the output power of other charging piles to charge the vehicle to be charged, and uses the power borrowing between the charging piles to downplay the rated output power factor of the charging pile, and recommends the corresponding charging pile only based on the easy accessibility of the charging pile, thereby improving the user experience. The electronic device further improves the user experience by displaying the information related to the target charging pile to the user.

[0103] Optionally, the processor is also used to plan the route from the vehicle to be charged to the first target charging pile based on the location information of the first target charging pile, the location information of the vehicle to be charged and the road information of the charging station; the display is specifically used to display the route from the vehicle to be charged to the first target charging pile.

[0104] Exemplarily, the processor obtains the coordinates of the vehicle to be charged and the coordinates of the first target charging pile; takes the coordinates of the vehicle to be charged as the starting point and the coordinates of the first target charging pile as the end point, and plans the route from the starting point to the end point in combination with the topographic map of the charging station.

[0105] In the embodiment of the present application, when the user is not familiar with the charging station, planning the route of the vehicle to be charged to the first target charging pile can further improve the user experience.

[0106] Optionally, the processor is further used to plan a route for the vehicle to be charged to the charging pile selected by the user based on the location information of the charging pile selected by the user, the location information of the vehicle to be charged, and the road information of the charging station when the first target charging pile includes multiple charging piles.

[0107] Exemplarily, the first target charging pile includes a first charging pile, a second charging pile and a third charging pile, all of which are easily accessible and available. The user can select a corresponding charging pile according to driving habits, for example, select the first charging pile located on the side of the road, and the vehicle to be charged can be charged without reversing.

[0108] In the embodiment of the present application, the customer experience can be further improved by allowing the customer to independently select the corresponding charging pile.

[0109] It should be noted that each embodiment in this specification is described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between the embodiments can be referred to each other, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments.
