[0025] The specific implementation of the present disclosure is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described herein is only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and is not used to limit the present disclosure.

[0026] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and do not have to be understood as a specific order or sequence. In addition, in the description with reference to the drawings, the same symbols in different drawings represent the same elements.

[0027] With the popularity of electric vehicles, the safety and convenience of charging port covers have become the focus of increasing attention of users. Currently, commercial vehicle charging port covers do not have a locking function, and other people can still open the charging port cover after the owner leaves the vehicle. When the charging port cover is open, the charging port is susceptible to external pollution or even human damage, which not only affects vehicle charging, but also affects vehicle safety and seriously affects user experience. If users use contaminated charging ports to charge without knowing it, charging problems are likely to occur under high current and high voltage conditions.

[0028] In the related art, the automatic closing of the charging port cover is achieved by providing a charging port cover with an automatic opening and closing device, which results in high costs and is not suitable for vehicles that currently do not have an automatic opening and closing device.

[0029] In view of the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a charging port cover locking method, device, vehicle, storage medium and program product. When it is determined that the user takes the key away from the vehicle and performs a vehicle locking operation, the opening and closing state of the charging port cover is first determined. If the charging port cover is not closed, the further state of not closing is further determined based on at least one of the gun insertion state and the charging state, and different first target prompt strategies are determined based on different states to prompt the user that the charging port cover is not closed, so that the user can close the charging port cover before leaving, and when the opening and closing state of the charging port cover is a closed state and the low-voltage power supply of the whole vehicle is in a closed state, the charging port cover locking device is controlled to perform a locking action, so that the charging port cover can be locked by the charging port cover locking device to prevent the charging port cover from being opened by others and causing the charging port to be contaminated, and the vehicle can be controlled to execute a second target prompt strategy, which is used to prompt the user that the charging port cover has been locked, and further prompt the user that the charging port cover has been locked, so that the user can confirm that the charging port cover has been successfully locked. By adopting the method combining the prompt strategy and the charging port cover locking device, the charging port cover can be closed and locked, and the cost can be reduced, which is easy to promote.

[0030] Figure 1 : is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of a charging port cover locking method provided according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the charging port cover locking method can be applied to a vehicle body controller, which is respectively connected to a vehicle antenna, a charging port cover detection device, and a charging port cover locking device.

[0031] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a charging port cover locking method provided according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method can be applied to a vehicle, and specifically to a body controller of a vehicle, and the method includes the following steps.

[0032] In step S201, when it is determined that the user has taken the key away from the vehicle and has performed a vehicle locking operation, the open / closed state of the charging port cover is determined.

[0033] In this embodiment, the user's leaving and locking the car can be detected in real time to determine whether the user leaves the car with the key and whether there is a car locking operation. In the case where it is determined that the user leaves the car with the key and performs a car locking operation, the opening and closing state of the charging port cover can be further determined by the charging port cover detection device to determine whether the user leaves the car but does not close the charging port cover.

[0034] In a possible implementation, the method for determining that the user has left the vehicle with the key and performing the vehicle locking operation may be: The distance between the vehicle and the vehicle key is obtained. When it is determined that the distance is greater than the target distance and a vehicle lock command is received from the vehicle key, it is determined that the user has left the vehicle with the key and a vehicle lock operation is performed.

[0035] In this embodiment, the distance between the vehicle and the vehicle key can be determined based on the vehicle antenna and the signal data between the vehicle antenna and the vehicle key. The signal data can be the signal strength or the data transmission time. The distance between the vehicle and the vehicle key can be determined based on the corresponding relationship between the signal strength and the distance from the vehicle, or the distance between the vehicle and the vehicle key can be calculated based on the data transmission time. The signal of the vehicle key can be obtained in real time through the vehicle antenna to obtain the vehicle lock command issued by the vehicle key. When it is determined that the distance from the vehicle is greater than the target distance, it can be determined that the user is leaving the vehicle with the key, and when the vehicle lock command issued by the vehicle key is received, it can be determined that the user performs the vehicle lock operation, so that it can be determined that the user leaves the vehicle with the key and performs the vehicle lock operation.

[0036] In step S202, when the opening and closing state of the charging port cover is the open state, a first target prompt strategy is determined according to at least one of the plug-in state and the charging state, and the vehicle is controlled to execute the first target prompt strategy, where the first target prompt strategy is used to prompt the user that the charging port cover is not closed.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the opening and closing state of the charging port cover is the open state, a prompt message can be output to the user to remind the user that the charging port cover of the vehicle has not been closed, so that the user can close the charging port cover. Specifically, different charging port states can be determined according to at least one of the plug-in state and the charging state, and different first target prompt strategies can be determined based on different charging port states. Then the vehicle is controlled to execute the first target prompt strategy to remind the user that the charging port cover of the vehicle has not been closed, and different first target prompt strategies can also remind the user of different charging port states, so that the user can perform corresponding operations to close the charging port cover.

[0038] In step S203, when the charging port cover is in a closed state and the low-voltage power supply of the vehicle is in a turned-off state, the charging port cover locking device is controlled to perform a locking action, and the vehicle is controlled to execute a second target prompting strategy, which is used to prompt the user that the charging port cover has been locked.

[0039] In this embodiment, the charging port cover can be locked when the opening and closing state of the charging port cover is in the closed state and the low-voltage power supply of the whole vehicle is in the closed state. The opening and closing state of the charging port cover here can be that the user closes the charging port cover after being prompted by the first target prompting strategy. There is enough space at the charging port cover of the vehicle, and a charging port cover locking device can be set. The charging port cover locking device can be controlled to perform a locking action so that the charging port cover can be locked to prevent the charging port cover from being opened by others and causing the charging port to be contaminated, and the vehicle can be controlled to execute the second target prompting strategy. The second target prompting strategy is used to prompt the user that the charging port cover has been locked, and further prompt the user that the charging port cover has been locked, so that the user can confirm that the charging port cover has been successfully locked. Through the above-mentioned method of combining the prompting strategy and the charging port cover locking device, the closing and locking of the charging port cover can be completed, and the cost can be reduced, which is easy to promote.

[0040] In a possible implementation, determining a first target prompting strategy according to at least one of a gun insertion state and a charging state includes: When the gun insertion state is unplugged, the first target prompt strategy is determined as the first prompt sub-strategy; when the gun insertion state is plugged in and the charging state is uncharged, the first target prompt strategy is determined as the second prompt sub-strategy.

[0041] In this embodiment, the plug-in status of the charging port can be determined. When the plug-in status of the charging port is not plugged in, it can be determined that the vehicle is not charging and the charging port cover of the vehicle is not closed. At this time, the first target prompt strategy can be determined as the first prompt sub-strategy, so as to prompt the user that the charging port cover is not closed and the charging port cover is not plugged in through the corresponding first prompt sub-strategy. Then, the user can close the charging port cover before leaving.

[0042] If the plug-in status is plugged in, it can be further determined whether the vehicle is charging. If the charging status of the vehicle is determined to be not charging, it may be that the user has completed charging, or the user has not yet charged, or the user interrupted charging during the charging process. At this time, the first target prompt strategy can be determined as the second prompt sub-strategy, so as to prompt the user that the charging port of the vehicle is plugged in but not charging, and the charging port cover is not closed. Then the user can perform the corresponding operation, continue to complete charging and close the charging port cover before leaving, or directly close the charging port cover and leave.

[0043] In a possible implementation, controlling the vehicle to execute the first target prompting strategy includes: When the first target prompt strategy is the first prompt sub-strategy, the vehicle is controlled to output a first preset number of first audios, where the first audio has a first duration, a first pitch and a first content, to prompt the user that the charging port cover is not closed.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the first target prompt strategy is the first prompt sub-strategy, the vehicle can be controlled to output the corresponding first prompt information, which can be a first preset number of first audios, the first audios are audios with a first duration, a first pitch and a first content. Among them, the first preset number, the first duration and the first pitch can be set according to actual conditions. For example, the first preset number can be 2, the first duration can be 1 second, and the first pitch can be a high-pitched type of pitch, for example, the vehicle emits two short and high-pitched "beep" sounds. In a possible embodiment, when the vehicle display interface is not closed, the second prompt information can also be displayed through the display interface. The second prompt information is used to prompt the current user of the charging port status, that is, to prompt the user through text display that the charging port is not plugged in but the charging port cover is in the open state, so that the user can know the meaning of the first preset number of first audios output by the vehicle, and it is also convenient for the user to perform corresponding operations to close the charging port cover.

[0045] In a possible implementation, controlling the vehicle to execute the first target prompting strategy includes: When the first target prompt strategy is the second prompt sub-strategy, the vehicle is controlled to output a second preset number of second audios, and the vehicle's double flashes are controlled to flash a preset number of times. The second audio has a second duration, a second pitch and second content, to prompt the user that the charging port cover is not closed and the charging gun is not unplugged.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the first target prompt strategy is the second prompt sub-strategy, the vehicle can be controlled to output the corresponding third prompt information, which can be a second preset number of second audios, the second audios are audios with a duration of the second duration, a pitch of the second pitch and a content of the second content. Among them, the second preset number, the second duration and the second pitch can be set according to actual conditions, for example, the second preset number can be 1, the second duration can be 3 seconds, the second pitch can be a low pitch, and the vehicle's double flashes can be controlled to flash a preset number of times, for example, the vehicle emits a low and long "beep" sound, and the vehicle's double flashes flash once. In a possible embodiment, when the vehicle display interface is not closed, the fourth prompt information can also be displayed through the display interface. The fourth prompt information is used to prompt the current user of the charging port status, that is, to prompt the user through text display that the charging port is plugged in but not charging, and the charging port cover is in an open state, so that the user can know the meaning of the second preset number of second audios output by the vehicle, and it is also convenient for the user to perform corresponding operations to close the charging port cover.

[0047] In a possible implementation, controlling the vehicle to execute the second target prompting strategy includes: The vehicle is controlled to output a third audio of a third preset quantity, where the third audio has a third duration, a third pitch and third content, to prompt the user that the charging port cover has been locked.

[0048] In this embodiment, the second target prompt strategy can be used to prompt the user that the charging port cover has been locked, wherein the third preset number, the third duration and the third pitch can be set according to actual conditions, for example, the third preset number can be 1, the second duration can be 3 seconds, and the third pitch can be a low-type pitch, for example, the vehicle emits a low and long "beep" sound.

[0050] In step S301, it is determined that the user has left the vehicle with the key and a vehicle locking operation is performed.

[0051] In step S302, the opening and closing state of the charging port cover is determined. When the opening and closing state is closed, step S303 is executed. When the opening and closing state is open, step S304 is executed.

[0052] In step S303, the charging port cover locking device is controlled to perform a locking action, and the vehicle is controlled to execute a second target prompting strategy.

[0053] In step S304, it is determined whether a gun is inserted, if so, step S305 is executed, if not, step S306 is executed.
