Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of charging pile management, and in particular to a remote management system for charging piles. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, the electric vehicle market has flourished, leading to a rapid increase in the number of charging stations. However, the inadequacy of abnormal charging monitoring in traditional charging station management has caused a series of problems. For users, it's common to arrive at a charging station only to find it malfunctioning and unusable, wasting time and energy, disrupting travel plans, and even causing breakdowns en route due to insufficient charging, resulting in significant inconvenience and distress. From the operator's perspective, the lack of abnormal charging monitoring makes it difficult to detect and repair faulty charging stations in a timely manner. This not only leads to the loss of a large number of potential users but may also cause safety accidents such as leakage and overcharging, resulting in high economic compensation and negative public opinion pressure for operators, seriously damaging their reputation and image, and greatly affecting their long-term development and market competitiveness.
[0003] Moreover, inaccurate monitoring cannot provide operators with an effective basis for reasonable layout and resource optimization, resulting in waste of charging pile resources in some areas, while supply is insufficient in areas with high demand, which reduces overall operational efficiency and return on investment. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention provides a remote management system for charging piles, including a charging pile module for charging. The charging pile module includes a charging gun unit and a gun mounting unit. A detection unit is provided at the positions of the charging gun unit and the gun mounting unit to detect whether the charging gun unit is properly positioned.
[0005] The data monitoring and transceiver module is used to record the usage time of the charging gun unit and monitor the charging voltage, current, and power of the charging gun unit; it also sends and receives data generated by the charging pile module and data sent by the background management module.
[0006] The edge management module is used to manage the status of charging piles in offline mode, record the status and abnormalities generated during the charging process, and determine whether to report the recorded information to the backend management module after performing a network check based on a preset information reporting list.
[0007] The backend management module is used to store and analyze the usage data and status information generated by the charging pile in the backend terminal. The backend management module includes a configuration management unit, which uses an indicator to show whether the configuration management unit supports the functions that can be configured. The configurable functions of the configuration management unit include charging status check, order management, charging verification results, and data management and analysis.
[0008] Furthermore, the steps for checking the charging status of charging piles through the backend management module include:
[0009] Step S101: First, check whether the indicator in the configuration management unit has enabled the charging status check function. If the indicator indicates that the charging status check is not enabled, perform other configurable function checks. If it is enabled, confirm the charging status, and the background management module adds the information corresponding to the charging status check to the information reporting list and sends it to the edge management module.
[0010] Step S102: The edge management module analyzes the charging behavior. The charging behavior is as follows: when the charging gun unit is detached from the gun mounting unit, the detection unit is set to a pre-charging state and sends it to the edge management module. The edge management module makes anomaly judgments on the charging behavior based on the data in the data monitoring and transceiver module. The anomaly judgments include no charging after detachment, charging interruption, frequent charging interruptions, and abnormal termination of charging.
[0011] Step S103: When the edge management module detects abnormal behavior, it sends the corresponding abnormal information to the backend management module through the data monitoring and transceiver module; the backend management module parses the abnormal information and stores and responds with prompts according to the type of abnormal information.
[0012] Furthermore, the configurable order management system includes a list of functions describing order information to support different order functions. The function list includes: whether to charge (when charging is enabled, optional functions must be included); amount X, where amount X is the amount used for order payment; amount Y, where amount Y is the discount amount used for order payment; and an order verification method, which verifies the result of order execution. The order verification method includes at least the following subfields: an order verification method code subfield, which specifies the action to be taken after order verification fails, including selecting the next order verification method and terminating order verification processing; an order verification method type subfield, which specifies the type of abnormal order to be verified, including active termination, abnormal termination, and payment abnormality; and an order verification method condition subfield, which specifies the preconditions for performing the order verification method.
[0013] Furthermore, the charging verification result includes checking the contents of the information reporting list of charging status check feedback and checking the results of the order verification method; when the backend management module receives the information reporting list based on charging status check sent by the edge management module, it will check each item in it.
[0014] Furthermore, the data management and analysis involves in-depth mining of charging data, using data mining algorithms to discover user charging behavior patterns and through correlation analysis to uncover user charging preferences and vehicle charging characteristics, locate the causes of faults, and predict the probability and timing of fault occurrence based on historical fault data.
[0015] Furthermore, the edge management module does not make decisions when connected to the network. The information reporting list contains the decision flag of the edge management module. If the edge management module has made decisions on the contents of the information reporting list when offline, the decision flag is set to 1; otherwise, the decision flag is set to 0.
[0016] Furthermore, the order verification method includes,
[0017] S201: Obtain the order information to be verified, and check whether the preconditions in the condition subfield of the order verification method are met; if the preconditions are not met, record the reason for the order verification failure, and select to process the next order verification method or terminate the order verification process according to the setting of the order verification method code subfield; if the preconditions are met, proceed to the next step.
[0018] S202: Determine the type of abnormal order to be verified based on the order verification method type subdomain. For different types such as active termination, abnormal termination, and payment abnormality, execute the corresponding verification logic and inspection process to determine whether the order execution result meets expectations.
[0019] S203: After completing order verification, generate a verification report based on the verification results; if the order verification is successful, record the relevant information and mark the order as verified; if the order verification fails, record detailed failure information, including the abnormal order type and the corresponding verification failure point, and take corresponding actions according to the settings of the order verification method code subfield, including choosing to process the next order verification method to continue trying other verification methods, or directly terminating the order verification process and marking the order as verification failed.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention compared with the prior art are: (1) This invention can deeply mine charging data through the background management module, analyze user charging behavior, preferences and vehicle characteristics, locate and predict faults, and improve system performance; (2) This invention can switch on and off multiple functions as needed through the configuration management unit, and the order management covers rich information and verification methods to meet diverse needs; (3) This invention can monitor charging anomalies and respond in a targeted manner through the collaborative monitoring of various modules; the edge management module can also control offline, and report according to the list when connected to the network. The decision flag ensures reasonable information processing and enhances system stability and reliability. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Figure 2 This is an exemplary flowchart for checking the charging status of the background management module of the present invention.
[0023] Figure 3 This is an exemplary flowchart of the order verification method of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a schematic block diagram of the module configuration of a remote management system for a charging pile according to an embodiment of this application. It includes a charging pile module for charging, comprising a charging gun unit and a gun mounting unit. Detection units are provided at the locations of the charging gun unit and the gun mounting unit to detect whether the charging gun unit is properly positioned. The detection unit can be either contact sensing or non-contact sensing. When using non-contact sensing, the non-contact sensing distance should be minimized.
[0026] The data monitoring and transceiver module is used to record the usage time of the charging gun unit and monitor the charging voltage, current, and power of the charging gun unit; it also sends and receives data generated by the charging pile module and data sent by the background management module.
[0027] The edge management module is used to manage the status of charging piles in offline mode, record the status and abnormalities generated during the charging process, and determine whether to report the recorded information to the backend management module after performing a network check based on a preset information reporting list.
[0028] The back-end management module is used to store and analyze the usage data and status information generated by the charging piles in the back-end terminal. The back-end management module includes a configuration management unit, which uses an indicator to show whether the configuration management unit supports the functions that can be configured. The configurable functions of the configuration management unit include charging status check, order management, charging verification results, and data management and analysis.
[0029] like Figure 2 The following steps, as shown in an embodiment of this application, are involved in checking the charging status of a charging pile through a background management module.
[0030] Step S101: First, check whether the indicator in the configuration management unit has enabled the charging status check function. If the indicator indicates that the charging status check is not enabled, perform other configurable function checks. If it is enabled, confirm the charging status, and the background management module adds the information corresponding to the charging status check to the information reporting list and sends it to the edge management module.
[0031] In step S102, the edge management module analyzes the charging behavior. The charging behavior is as follows: when the charging gun unit is detached from the gun mounting unit, the detection unit is set to the pre-charging state and sends it to the edge management module. The edge management module makes anomaly judgments on the charging behavior based on the data in the data monitoring and transceiver module. The anomaly judgments include no charging after detachment, charging interruption, frequent charging interruptions, and abnormal termination of charging.
[0032] Step S103: When the edge management module detects abnormal behavior, it sends the corresponding abnormal information to the backend management module through the data monitoring and transceiver module; the backend management module parses the abnormal information and stores and responds with prompts according to the type of abnormal information.
[0033] Within the configurable order management section, there is a list of functions describing order information to support different order functions. The function list includes: whether it's paid (if paid, this must be included); amount X (the amount used for order payment); amount Y (the discount amount used for order payment); and the order verification method, which verifies the result of order execution. The order verification method must contain at least the following subfields: the order verification method code subfield, which specifies the action to be taken after order verification fails, including choosing to process the next order verification method and terminating order verification processing; the order verification method type subfield, which specifies the type of abnormal order to be verified, including active termination, abnormal termination, and payment abnormality; and the order verification method condition subfield, which specifies the preconditions for performing the order verification method.
[0034] The charging verification result includes checking the contents of the information report list of the charging status check feedback and checking the results of the order verification method. When the backend management module receives the information report list based on the charging status check sent by the edge management module, it will check each item in it.
[0035] Data management and analysis involves in-depth mining of charging data, using data mining algorithms to discover user charging behavior patterns, and using correlation analysis to uncover user charging preferences and vehicle charging characteristics, thereby pinpointing the causes of faults and predicting the probability and timing of fault occurrences based on historical fault data.
[0036] When connected to the network, the edge management module does not make any decisions. The information reporting list contains the decision flag of the edge management module. If the edge management module has made a decision on the contents of the information reporting list when offline, the decision flag is set to 1; otherwise, the decision flag is set to 0.
[0037] like Figure 3 The order verification method for embodiments of this application includes,
[0038] S201: Obtain the order information to be verified, and check whether the preconditions in the condition subfield of the order verification method are met; if the preconditions are not met, record the reason for the order verification failure, and select to process the next order verification method or terminate the order verification process according to the setting of the order verification method code subfield; if the preconditions are met, proceed to the next step.
[0039] S202: Determine the type of abnormal order to be verified based on the order verification method type subdomain. For different types such as active termination, abnormal termination, and payment abnormality, execute the corresponding verification logic and inspection process to determine whether the order execution result meets expectations.
[0040] S203: After completing order verification, generate a verification report based on the verification results; if the order verification is successful, record the relevant information and mark the order as verified; if the order verification fails, record detailed failure information, including the abnormal order type and the corresponding verification failure point, and take corresponding actions according to the settings of the order verification method code subfield, including choosing to process the next order verification method to continue trying other verification methods, or directly terminating the order verification process and marking the order as verification failed.
[0041] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
