[0037] The exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to enable the scope of the present invention to be fully communicated to those skilled in the art.

[0038] In order to solve the problem that the current in-vehicle intelligent wireless charging strategy is relatively rigid and not intelligent enough, an embodiment of the present invention provides an in-vehicle intelligent wireless charging method, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0039] S101, obtaining a connection relationship between the wireless charger and the power-consuming device;

[0040] For example, the charging device can be any device that supports wireless charging, such as a mobile phone or a tablet. Since the wireless charger and the power-consuming device transmit energy via a magnetic field and do not need to be connected by wires, the charger and the power-consuming device can have no exposed conductive contacts. When the wireless charger senses that it is connected to the power-consuming device, the connection relationship between the two is determined.

[0041] S102, when the wireless charger is connected to the power-consuming device, determining the power information of the power-consuming device;

[0042] The above step S102 also includes:

[0043] S1021, the wireless charger has a built-in power detection module,

[0044] When the wireless charger is connected to the power-consuming device, calling the power detection module;

[0045] The power information of the power-consuming device is obtained based on the power detection module.

[0046] Exemplarily, the wireless charger has the function of communicating with a mobile phone and can read the current power information of the mobile phone; or the vehicle controller communicates with the mobile phone and reads the current power information of the mobile phone, or an additional power detection sensor is added to read the current power information of the mobile phone.

[0047] The embodiment of the present application also includes: a controller, which is a core component of the system and is responsible for receiving the power data transmitted by the power detection module and determining whether charging needs to be started according to a preset charging threshold.

[0048] S103: Execute a wireless charging strategy based on the power information of the power-consuming device.

[0049] The above step S103 also includes S1031 and S1032:

[0050] S1031, setting a charging node threshold, wherein the charging node threshold is greater than a basic power level and less than a full power level;

[0051] S1032: Execute a wireless charging strategy based on a comparison result between the power information of the power-consuming device and the node threshold.

[0052] The above-mentioned step S1031 also includes: obtaining the user's travel information and the usage information of the electric device; and setting a charging node threshold based on the user's travel information and the usage information of the electric device.

[0053] Exemplarily, the above-mentioned charging node threshold is determined based on the user's travel information and the usage information of the power-consuming device, aiming to provide the user with a better wireless charging strategy, taking into account the battery health of the power-consuming device and the user's power demand for the power-consuming device, and achieving the greatest balance between the two by setting a reasonable charging node threshold, while protecting the battery health to the greatest extent possible while meeting the user's power demand for the power-consuming device. It should be noted that the user's travel information and the usage information of the power-consuming device have priority over the power demand of the power-consuming device.

[0054] It is understandable that the travel information of the above-mentioned users and the usage information of the above-mentioned electrical equipment can be obtained by sending questionnaires to the users, linking the users' navigation systems, etc., and the above-mentioned charging node thresholds can also be set by the users or system administrators using the vehicle display screen or mobile phone APP.

[0055] The charging status can be indicated by ambient lighting, display interface, voice, etc.

[0056] In one embodiment, the user's travel information is used to feedback information contained in the user's travel itinerary that can provide a charging environment for the electrical device;

[0057] The usage information of the electric device is used to feed back the user's usage demand information for the electric device.

[0058] For example, if the locations passed by the user's travel itinerary include devices that can charge electrical devices, and it is determined that the user's power demand for the electrical devices is relatively low, the node threshold can be appropriately lowered, the proportion of fast charging can be reduced, and the proportion of slow charging can be increased.

[0059] Furthermore, if the user subsequently needs to use the electrical device at high power for a long time, it can be determined that the user has a relatively high demand for the power of the electrical device. Accordingly, the node threshold is appropriately increased, the proportion of fast charging is increased, and the proportion of slow charging is reduced, so as to provide the user with as high a power consumption as possible for the electrical device.

[0060] The above step S1032 also includes S10321 and S10322:

[0061] S10321. When the power information of the electric device is less than the node threshold, charge the electric device based on the fast charging rate until the power information of the electric device is equal to the node threshold.

[0062] Wireless charging technology originates from wireless power transmission technology and can be divided into two types: low-power wireless charging and high-power wireless charging.

[0063] S10322: When the power information of the electric device is equal to or greater than the node threshold, charge the electric device based on a slow charging rate until the power information of the electric device is fully charged.

[0064] Based on the above scheme, considering that the slow charging mode uses a lower charging current and / or voltage, slow charging can extend the life of the electrical equipment to a certain extent. Therefore, if the power of the electrical equipment is equal to or greater than the node threshold, the slow charging mode is adopted. If the power of the electrical equipment is less than the node threshold, the fast charging mode is adopted.

[0065] Through the above technical scheme, the in-vehicle intelligent wireless charging method provided by the present invention solves the problem that the current in-vehicle intelligent wireless charging strategy is relatively rigid and not intelligent enough. The present invention obtains the connection relationship between the wireless charger and the power-consuming device; when the wireless charger is connected to the power-consuming device, determines the power information of the power-consuming device; and executes the wireless charging strategy based on the power information of the power-consuming device. In the above scheme, unnecessary charging operations are avoided when the power of the mobile phone is high, thereby extending the battery life of the mobile phone. The user charging experience is improved, and battery loss and safety hazards caused by frequent charging are reduced. The mobile phone charging process is intelligently managed to enhance the sense of technology and practicality of new energy vehicles.
