[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the present disclosure are further elaborated in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. The described embodiments should not be regarded as limiting the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0025] In the following description, reference is made to “some embodiments”, which describe a subset of all possible embodiments, but it will be understood that “some embodiments” may be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments and may be combined with each other without conflict.

[0026] If similar descriptions of "first / second" appear in the application documents, the following description is added. In the following description, the terms "first / second / third" involved are merely used to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific ordering of the objects. It is understandable that "first / second / third" can be interchanged in a specific order or sequence where permitted, so that the embodiments of the present disclosure described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0027] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure belongs. The terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing the embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0028] It should be noted that, in this article, the terms "include", "comprises" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "comprises a ..." does not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the element.

[0029] Figure 1 is a flow chart of an optional device display method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, which will be combined with Figure 1 The steps shown are described below. It should be noted that Figure 1 The device display method shown can be applied to a containerized energy storage cabinet system. A containerized energy storage cabinet system refers to an energy storage system that uses a standardized container as a carrier and integrates devices such as batteries, battery management systems, and power storage rheometers (PCS).

[0030] S101. Obtain device identification information of multiple slave devices.

[0031] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an optional device display system 100 provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. It should be noted that: Figure 2 The device display system 100 shown can be used to implement Figure 1 Device display method, Figure 2 Only slave device 30a and slave device 30b are illustrated in the figure, and the device display system 100 may also include more slave devices. Multiple slave devices such as slave device 30a and slave device 30b may be energy storage cabinets, etc. Figure 2 The equipment display system 100 shown may be a subsystem of a container-type energy storage cabinet system.

[0032] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 2, the host controller 20 can obtain the device identification information of multiple slave devices such as slave device 30a and slave device 30b. For example, the host controller 20 can establish communication with multiple slave devices such as slave device 30a and slave device 30b through the TCP / IP protocol to form a local area network. The host controller 20 can broadcast the command requesting the acquisition of the slave device to the local area network through the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). If the slave device meets the requirements of the private protocol, it will reply its own device identification information to the host controller 20, so that the host controller 20 can obtain the device identification information of multiple slave devices. The device identification information includes one or more of the initial power-on time, IP address information, serial number information, device number, network port number and physical address information.

[0033] S102: Determine location information and device models of multiple slave devices based on the device identification information.

[0034] It should be noted that common positioning technologies such as GPS positioning, Bluetooth positioning, Wi-Fi positioning, and ultra-wideband (UWB) positioning have limitations in terms of environmental restrictions, accuracy requirements, power consumption and cost, system integration and compatibility, and are not suitable for the positioning needs of container-type energy storage cabinet systems. For example, GPS positioning technology consumes high power, and when positioning energy storage cabinets in containers, the positioning signal is easily affected by obstruction. Bluetooth / Wi-Fi positioning technology forms a positioning network through indoor beacons or routers, but the accuracy is limited and cannot meet the needs of container-type energy storage cabinet systems for precise location information. Ultra-wideband positioning technology uses ultra-wideband radio wave pulses for positioning, and base stations need to be deployed to ensure the positioning effect, but the hardware and deployment costs are high, and the coverage range is affected by environmental factors. Therefore, the above positioning technologies cannot be applied to container-type energy storage cabinet systems.

[0035] Figure 3 and Figure 4 2 is a top view of the arrangement of slave devices in a container 200 provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. It should be noted that: Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first direction X is the length direction of the container 200, the second direction Y is the width direction of the container 200, and the third direction Z is the vertical direction. Different numbers of slave devices can correspond to a layout mode. For example, when the container 200 includes 10 slave devices, the 10 slave devices 30a to 30j in the container 200 can be arranged as follows: Figure 3In the case where the container 200 includes 6 slave devices, the 6 slave devices 30u to 30z in the container 200 can be arranged in the rectangular array as shown in the example. Figure 4 The arrays are arranged in a rectangular array as shown in the example.

[0036] In the present disclosure, Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the host controller 20 can determine the location information of multiple slave devices based on the device identification information. For example, the host controller 20 can confirm the number of slave devices according to the number of received first power-on times, and then confirm the arrangement of the multiple slave devices according to the number of slave devices. At this time, if the installation order of the multiple slave devices corresponds to the arrangement of the multiple slave devices, the host controller 20 can determine the installation order of the multiple slave devices according to the first power-on time of the multiple slave devices, and then confirm the location information of the multiple slave devices based on the arrangement of the multiple slave devices and the order of installation of the multiple slave devices.

[0037] Specifically, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 During the installation of multiple slave devices 30a to 30j, the operation and maintenance personnel usually install slave devices such as energy storage cabinets in the container 200 in sequence. The operation and maintenance personnel can install the slave devices 30a to 30e in sequence along the first direction X, and then install the slave devices 30f to 30j in sequence again along the first direction X. The time point when each slave device is first powered on can be recorded as the initial power-on time of the slave device. The host controller 20 can obtain the initial power-on time of multiple slave devices, and sort the multiple initial power-on times in chronological order, and the sorted results can directly reflect the installation order of multiple slave devices. Thus, the host controller 20 can confirm the row number and column number of each slave device in the matrix array according to the installation order. For example, the row number of slave device 30e is 1 and the column number is 5.

[0038] It should also be noted that, as the scale of containerized energy storage cabinet systems continues to expand and the complexity of equipment increases, the equipment information of containerized energy storage cabinet systems is difficult to display intuitively using traditional display methods such as tables. For example, the arrangement of multiple energy storage cabinets in a container in a containerized energy storage cabinet system cannot be displayed. As a result, when the location, operating parameters and other information of the energy storage cabinets change, the existing display system cannot update this information in real time, resulting in the inability of operation and maintenance personnel to obtain the latest system status in a timely manner, which increases the difficulty of operation and maintenance for operation and maintenance personnel. In addition, when managing and updating the location information of slave devices such as energy storage cabinets, operation and maintenance personnel need to perform a series of cumbersome operations, such as manual data input, which not only reduces work efficiency, but also increases the risk of operational errors. In addition, modeling the containerized energy storage cabinet system using methods such as three-dimensional modeling can provide an intuitive spatial view, but its customization cost is high, and the editing and adjustment of location information is not flexible and convenient enough.

[0039] Figure 5 and Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the display interface 10 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure. It should be noted that: Figure 5 The device models 101a to 101j and Figure 6 The device models 101u to 101y are shown as energy storage cabinet models. Figure 6 The device model 101z shown is a liquid cooling unit model. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The multiple device models illustrated in the example can be arranged in a grid view.

[0040] In the present disclosure, Figure 2 and Figure 6 , the host controller 20 can determine the device models of multiple slave devices based on the device identification information. For example, the host controller 20 can create a model library, and the model library can include device models of devices such as energy storage cabinets and liquid cooling units. The device model can be represented by a plane graphic or an icon. The host controller 20 can identify the device type of the slave device based on the serial number information, and then select the corresponding device model from the pre-created model library based on the device type of the slave device. Figure 4 The slave devices 30u to 30y are all energy storage cabinets, and the device models selected by the host controller 20 for the slave devices 30u to 30y are all as follows Figure 6 Energy storage cabinet models 101u to 101y are shown. Figure 4 The slave device 30z is a liquid cooling unit, and the device model selected by the host controller 20 for the slave device 30z is as follows: Figure 6 The liquid cooling unit 101z is shown.

[0041] S103. Determine a display position of each device model on the display interface based on the position information; wherein the arrangement of the multiple device models in the display interface is consistent with the arrangement of the multiple slave devices.

[0042] In the present disclosure, Figure 2 and Figure 3 The host controller 20 can determine the display position of each device model on the display interface 10 based on the position information. For example, the host controller 20 places the device model corresponding to each energy storage cabinet in the corresponding cell in the grid view according to the position information of multiple energy storage cabinets. Figure 3 The row number of the slave device 30e is 1 and the column number is 5. The device model 101e corresponding to the slave device 30e is Figure 5 The corresponding coordinates in the display interface 10 are (1, 5). In this way, the arrangement of the multiple device models in the display interface 10 is consistent with the arrangement of the multiple slave devices.

[0043] It can be understood that the embodiment of the present disclosure determines the device models of multiple slave devices based on the device identification information. In this way, the present disclosure does not need to measure and model multiple slave devices, so that compared with the three-dimensional modeling method, the embodiment of the present disclosure can save modeling time and cost. At the same time, the embodiment of the present disclosure determines the location information of multiple slave devices based on the device identification information. In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure does not need to set up additional hardware for position positioning, thereby reducing costs.

[0044] In addition, the embodiment of the present disclosure determines the display position of the device model on the display interface based on the position information, so that the arrangement of multiple device models can be consistent with the arrangement of multiple slave devices. In this way, the display interface can intuitively display the arrangement of multiple slave devices. Therefore, when a slave device fails, the faulty slave device can be quickly located by the position of the device model in the display interface, thereby improving the efficiency of operation and maintenance.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, S201 can be used to implement Figure 1 S103 in the embodiment will be described in combination with each step.

[0046] S201. Determine an installation order of the plurality of slave devices based on the initial power-on time of the plurality of slave devices; wherein the installation order of the plurality of slave devices corresponds to an arrangement of the plurality of slave devices.

[0047] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 2, the device identification information includes the first power-on time. The host controller 20 can determine the number of slave devices by counting the number of first power-on times of multiple slave devices. In addition, the host controller 20 can determine the arrangement of multiple slave devices based on this. If the installation order of each slave device corresponds to the arrangement one by one, the host controller 20 can use the first power-on time to infer the installation order of the device. Finally, combined with the arrangement and installation order of the slave devices, the host controller 20 can confirm the specific location information of each slave device.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, S301 to S302 can be used to implement Figure 1 S101 in the embodiment will be described in combination with each step.

[0049] S301 , sending a broadcast requesting to obtain device identification information, and searching for multiple slave devices.

[0050] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 2 The host controller 20 can send a request for obtaining device identification information through a broadcast signal to query all slave devices in the local area network. The request can include a function code for obtaining device identification information and the IP address information of the host controller.

[0051] S302: Receive device identification information replied by multiple slave devices.

[0052] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 2 , the host controller 20 can receive device identification information replied by multiple slave devices. For example, each slave device in the local area network will receive the request. After each slave device receives the request, each slave device will package the device identification information such as IP address information, serial number information, device number, network port number and physical address information, and send it back to the host controller 20.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, after completing Figure 1 After S101 to S103 in the embodiment, the device display method can be implemented through S104 to S106.

[0054] S104: Obtain information to be displayed from multiple slave devices.

[0055] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 2 , the host controller 20 can obtain information to be displayed of multiple slave devices. The information to be displayed can be operating parameters of the slave device. For example, when the slave device is an energy storage cabinet, the information to be displayed may include parameters such as the state of charge (SOC) of the energy storage cabinet, the rated energy of the battery, the grid connection status, the system AC power, the daily discharge amount, the cumulative charge amount, the cumulative discharge amount, the daily power curve, the charge and discharge amount, etc.

[0056] S105 . Based on the location information and the device identification information, associate the information to be displayed of each slave device with the corresponding device model.

[0057] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 2 The host controller 20 can confirm the device model corresponding to each slave device based on the location information and device identification information. For example, the host controller 20 can confirm the slave device that sends the information to be displayed using the IP address information. Then, according to the location information of the slave device, the information to be displayed of the slave device is associated with the corresponding device model in the display interface 10.

[0058] S106 . When any device model is clicked, information to be displayed associated with the device model is displayed on the display interface.

[0059] Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of an optional display interface 10 provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. It should be noted that: Figure 7 The device model of multiple slave devices in 101 can refer to Figure 5 Please understand and I will not elaborate on it here.

[0060] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 2 When any device model is clicked, the host controller 20 can display the information to be displayed associated with the device model on the display interface. Figure 7 As shown, when the device model 101 of the energy storage cabinet is clicked on the display interface 10, the host controller 20 will send the state of charge (SOC), battery rated energy, grid connection status, system AC power, daily discharge amount, cumulative charge amount, cumulative discharge amount, daily power curve, charge and discharge amount and other parameters of the energy storage cabinet corresponding to the device model 101 to the display interface 10 for display.

[0061] That is to say, the embodiment of the present disclosure presents the status and information of the slave device to the operation and maintenance personnel in real time through the device model, and supports the operation and maintenance personnel to obtain more information through simple click operations. In this way, the embodiment of the present disclosure can accurately represent the status and information of each slave device in the display interface 10, enhancing the intuitiveness of operation and maintenance management. Thus, the efficiency and response speed of equipment operation and maintenance management are improved. In addition, the status and information of each slave device in the display interface 10 can help the operation and maintenance personnel monitor the system operation status in real time, respond to system abnormalities in a timely manner, and improve the security of the system.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the device display method may also be implemented through S401 to S402, which will be described in conjunction with each step.

[0063] S401 . When any slave device is detected to be offline, periodically search for slave devices until a newly connected slave device is found.

[0064] S402: Based on the device identification information, determine whether the newly connected slave device is replaced; if replaced, synchronize the configuration information of the offline slave device to the newly connected slave device.

[0065] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 2 , when the slave device is offline, the host controller 20 will periodically search for new slave devices until a newly connected slave device is detected. Then, the host controller 20 can determine whether the newly connected slave device is the original offline device or the replacement device through the device identification information of the newly connected slave device. If a replacement occurs, the host controller 20 can automatically synchronize the configuration information of the original offline device to the replacement device to ensure that the replacement device can quickly take over the function of the original offline device. For example, when the operation and maintenance personnel replace the faulty device, the host controller 20 will determine whether the slave device is replaced by matching the IP address information and the serial number information. Then, if a replacement occurs, the host controller 20 will prompt the operation and maintenance personnel whether to synchronize the configuration of the original offline device. Finally, after the operation and maintenance personnel confirms, the host controller 20 will configure the IP address information for the replacement device and synchronize the various configuration information of the original offline device back to the replacement device. Thereby, the workload of manually configuring new devices is reduced.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the device identification information further includes: one or more of: IP address information, serial number information, device number, network port number and physical address information.

[0067] In the disclosed embodiment, the serial number information is a unique identifier assigned to each product by the device manufacturer, and is usually used to identify the uniqueness of the device. The device number is a number assigned to each slave device for the convenience of management and identification. The IP address information can be a local IP address, which is a unique identifier assigned to the slave device. The network port number refers to the identifier of the network interface, which specifies the specific interface on the slave device for network communication. The physical address information is the address of the data link layer.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the device display method may also be implemented through S501, which will be described in conjunction with each step.

[0069] S501. Allocate IP address information and device numbers to multiple slave devices based on location information.

[0070] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 2During the manual configuration process, the operation and maintenance personnel may assign the same IP address or device number to different slave devices. Alternatively, the initial device numbers of multiple slave devices are not configured and default to 0. Therefore, the host controller 20 can assign IP address information and device numbers to multiple slave devices based on the location information. For example, Figure 3 As shown, the host controller 20 can allocate device numbers according to the location information of the slave devices 30a to 30j in ascending order from left to right and from top to bottom. The device numbers of the slave devices 30a to 30j are 1 to 10. In this way, automatically allocating IP addresses and device numbers can improve the management efficiency of the slave devices, and at the same time, ensure the consistency and accuracy of the device information.

[0071] Figure 8 It is a structural schematic diagram of an optional device display system 100 provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. It should be noted that the display interface of the device display system 100 can be a display interface of one or more of multiple platforms such as a customer third-party platform 11, a software platform 12, a cloud platform 13 and a mobile terminal platform 14.

[0072] It should also be noted that Figure 8The dry contacts 321a and 321b generally refer to passive switches, which have two states: closed and open. The dry contact 321a (or dry contact 321b) can be used to implement an alarm. For example, when the battery management system (BMS) 332a (or battery management system 322b) detects that the battery is in a state of overtemperature, overcharge, overdischarge, etc., the state of the dry contact 321a (or dry contact 321b) can be switched to drive the buzzer to alarm. The dehumidifier 325a (or dehumidifier 325b) removes moisture inside the energy storage cabinet by physical or chemical methods, protects the equipment from moisture, prevents short circuits and corrosion, and ensures stable operation of the equipment. The liquid cooling unit 326a (or liquid cooling unit 326b) is responsible for cooling the energy storage equipment, removes heat through the liquid circulation cooling system, maintains the equipment at a suitable temperature, and improves system efficiency and safety. The display light board 324a (or the display light board 324b) is used to provide a visual display of the device status, such as power supply status, fault alarm, etc., so that the operation and maintenance personnel can quickly understand the operating status of the equipment. The battery management system 322a (or the battery management system 322b) is responsible for monitoring and managing the status of the battery pack, including voltage, current, temperature, etc., to ensure that the battery works safely and effectively and prevent problems such as overcharging and over-discharging. The energy storage converter 323a (or the energy storage converter 324b) is used to convert the direct current of the battery into alternating current. The liquid cooling unit 326a (or the liquid cooling unit 326b) is used to cool the battery. The first slave controller 310a (or the second slave controller 310b) is used to execute the instructions of the main controller 20 and manage the specific operations of the battery pack or energy storage unit, such as charge and discharge control, status monitoring, etc. The slave device 30a (or the slave device 30b) can also include other types of sub-devices, which are not limited here.

[0073] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 8 , the device display system 100 includes a host controller 20, multiple slave devices and a display interface. Among them, the host controller is connected to multiple slave devices and the display interface respectively. For example, the slave device 30a and the slave device 30b can be connected to the host controller 20 through the second switch 43. The customer third-party platform 11 can be connected to the host controller 20 through the first switch 41. The cloud platform 13 and the mobile terminal platform 14 can both be connected to the host controller 20 through the wireless communication module 42. The parallel control board 332 and the electric energy meter 331 are used to monitor the parameters of the power grid and are directly connected to the host controller 20.

[0074] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 8 The host controller 20 is configured to obtain device identification information of multiple slave devices. For example, the host controller 20 can obtain the device identification information of the slave device 30a through the first slave controller 310a.

[0075] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Figure 8 The host controller 20 is configured to determine the location information and device models of multiple slave devices based on the device identification information; and, based on the location information, determine the display position of each device model on the display interface; wherein the arrangement of the multiple device models in the display interface is consistent with the arrangement of the multiple slave devices.

[0076] That is to say, the disclosed embodiment implements an efficient and low-cost device management and monitoring method by using device identification information to determine the device model and location information of multiple slave devices. The disclosed embodiment does not require separate measurement and modeling of each device, avoiding the complexity and high cost of traditional three-dimensional modeling. In addition, the disclosed embodiment reduces the reliance on additional positioning hardware by automatically identifying the location information of the device, further reducing the cost of the system. At the same time, it can also ensure that the device model on the display interface is consistent with the actual arrangement of the slave devices, and can quickly identify and respond to device failures, reducing the complexity and cost of device management and monitoring.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Fig. 9 The host controller 20 includes a monitoring device 210 and an information processing module 220. The monitoring device 210 is configured to obtain information to be displayed and device identification information of multiple slave devices. The monitoring device may be a baseboard management controller (BMC).

[0078] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Fig. 9 The information processing module 220 is configured to determine the location information of multiple slave devices based on the device identification information. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure automatically determines the location of the slave device through the device identification information, without the need for manual measurement and marking of the location, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of positioning.

[0079] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, reference Fig. 9 The information processing module 220 is configured to associate the information to be displayed of each slave device with the corresponding device model based on the location information and the device identification information.
