[0055] The switch device 130 is arranged on the charging line between the input plug 110 and the output plug 120. When the switch device 130 is turned on, the electric energy from the power supply socket 200 can be transmitted to the vehicle 300 through the charging line to charge the vehicle 300; when the switch device 130 is turned off, the electric energy from the power supply socket 200 cannot be transmitted to the vehicle 300 through the charging line.

[0056] In this embodiment, the switch device 130 includes a live relay 131 and a neutral relay 132. The live relay 131 and the neutral relay 132 are respectively arranged on the live wire and the neutral wire. When the live relay 131 and the neutral relay 132 are turned on, the power supply socket 200 can transmit electric energy to the vehicle 300 through the charging line. When the live relay 131 and the neutral relay 132 are turned off, the power supply socket 200 cannot transmit electric energy to the vehicle 300 through the charging connection device 100. In some other embodiments, the switch device 130 may include only one of the live relay 131 and the neutral relay 132.

[0057] The charging management component 140 is connected to the charging line and the switch device 130, and is used to send a first reminder message when the power socket 200 is not grounded, and when receiving an instruction from the user to confirm charging, control the switch device 130 to conduct, so as to transmit the power from the power socket 200 to the vehicle 300. The first reminder message is used to remind the user that the power socket 200 is not grounded.

[0058] According to the charging connection device 100 of the present application, when the power socket 200 is not grounded, a first reminder message is first issued to remind the user that the power socket 200 is not grounded, and then, when an instruction to confirm charging is received from the user, that is, after the user's active confirmation is obtained, the power from the power socket 200 is transmitted to the vehicle 300. The charging process performed when the power socket 200 is not grounded is actively confirmed by the user, which can effectively avoid the risk of electric shock to the user without knowing it.

[0059] In this embodiment, the charging management component 140 includes a ground detection unit 141 , a reminder unit 142 , an instruction receiving unit 143 and a control unit 144 .

[0060] The grounding detection unit 141 is connected to the charging line and is used to detect whether the power socket 200 is grounded. Exemplarily, the grounding detection unit 141 may include, for example, a voltage detection circuit, which may be used to measure one or more of the voltage between the neutral line and the ground line, the voltage between the neutral line and the live line, and the voltage between the live line and the ground line, and then determine whether the power socket 200 is grounded according to the detected voltage value. Exemplarily, the grounding detection unit 141 may include the input PE detection system disclosed in patent CN216285645U or the PE detection device disclosed in patent CN203535153U or other grounding detection circuits known to those skilled in the art. The grounding detection unit 141 may also be other detection devices known to those skilled in the art that can detect whether the power socket 200 is grounded, which is not limited in this application.

[0061] The reminder unit 142 is used to send out a first reminder message, that is, when the grounding detection unit 141 detects that the power socket 200 is not grounded, the first reminder message is sent to remind the user. The reminder unit 142 may include one or more of an indicator light, a speaker, a buzzer and a display screen. The indicator light may include an LED light, which may be used to send out a light reminder message by being always on, flashing, etc. The indicator light may also cooperate with the light guide plate to display text reminder messages (for example, "Please change the socket", "The socket is poorly grounded, please change the socket", etc.); the speaker and the buzzer may be used to send out a sound reminder message such as a continuous or periodic sound, and the duration of the sound may be greater than 30 seconds; the display screen may be used to display specific text, such as "Please change the socket", "The socket is poorly grounded, please change the socket", etc., or display a specific reminder image. That is, the first reminder message may include one or more of sound information, light information and image information. The indicator light, the display screen, the speaker and the buzzer are used in combination to remind the user visually and auditorily at the same time.

[0062] The indication receiving unit 143 is used to receive an indication issued by the user to confirm charging, that is, when the grounding detection unit 141 detects that the power supply socket 200 is not grounded, it is necessary to receive an indication of confirming charging issued by the user through the indication receiving unit 143 before the switch device 130 can be turned on to charge the vehicle 300. In this embodiment, the indication receiving unit 143 includes an indication receiving device 1431 and a signal conversion circuit 1432, and the indication receiving device 1431 is used to receive an operation indication or voice indication from the user. Exemplarily, the indication receiving device 1431 is a mechanical switch (including a physical button, etc.), a touch switch (such as a capacitive touch switch, etc.) or a microphone, and the user can operate it to input an indication to confirm charging, such as triggering a mechanical switch or a physical switch, or issuing a specific voice indication (such as a voice of "confirm charging", etc.). The signal conversion circuit 1432 is connected to the indication receiving device 1431 and the control unit 144, and is used to convert the output signal of the indication receiving device 1431 (such as a voltage signal, a current signal, a capacitance signal, and an acoustic signal) into a digital signal (such as a specific voltage signal or current signal that can be recognized by a control device such as a single-chip microcomputer) and provide it to the control unit 144. Exemplarily, the signal conversion circuit 1432 can be a digital-to-analog conversion circuit. The indication receiving unit 143 can also be other electronic devices known to those skilled in the art that can obtain instructions issued by the user, and this application does not limit this.

[0063] The control unit 144 is connected to the grounding detection unit 141, the reminder unit 142, the indication receiving unit 143, the live relay 131 and the neutral relay 132, and is used to control the reminder unit 142 to send a first reminder message to remind the user that the power socket 200 is not grounded when the grounding detection unit 141 detects that the power socket 200 is not grounded; and after the indication receiving unit 143 receives the indication of confirming charging sent by the user, control the switch device 130 to conduct, transmit the electric energy from the power socket 200 to the vehicle 300, and charge the vehicle 300. The control unit 144 is also used to control the switch device 130 to conduct, transmit the electric energy from the power socket 200 to the vehicle 300 when the grounding detection unit 141 detects that the power socket 200 is grounded. In this embodiment, the control unit 144 includes a controller 1441 and a relay drive circuit 1442. The controller 1441 may be, for example, a single chip microcomputer. The controller 1441 is connected to the grounding detection unit 141, the reminder unit 142, and the indication receiving unit 143. The relay drive circuit 1442 is connected to the controller 1441, the live relay 131, and the neutral relay 132. The controller 1441 may control the conduction and disconnection of the live relay 131 and the neutral relay 132 through the relay drive circuit 1442. The control unit 144 may also be other control devices known to technicians that can interact with the grounding detection unit 141, the reminder unit 142, and the indication receiving unit 143 and control the corresponding actions of the switch device 130, and this application does not limit this.

[0064] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the charging management component 140 (that is, the control unit 144 in the charging management component 140) is also used to control the reminder unit 142 to send a second reminder message, and then control the switch device 130 to turn on after the indication receiving unit 143 receives the indication of confirming charging issued by the user, that is, when the power socket 200 is not grounded and the user confirms charging. The second reminder information may include one or more of sound information, light information, and image information to remind the user to beware of the risk of electric shock. Exemplarily, it can be configured as needed by displaying words such as "Please do not touch the car body". Thereby, the safety of charging can be further improved.

[0065] Further, in this embodiment, the charging connection device 100 also includes a power supply unit 145, which is connected to the charging line (that is, the live line and the neutral line in the charging line) and the charging management component 140 (for example, the control unit 144 in the charging management component), and is used to take power from the live line and the neutral line and power the charging management component 140. The power supply unit 145 may include a rectifier circuit, a step-down circuit, a filter circuit, etc., which is used to convert the high-voltage AC power from the live line and the neutral line into a low-voltage DC power and provide it to the control unit 144, for example, to the controller 1441, and power the controller 1441. The controller 1441 can further transmit the electric energy to the ground detection unit 141, the reminder unit 142, the indication receiving unit 143, etc., to power them. The power supply unit 145 can also be directly connected to the components in the function box 130 such as the ground detection unit 141, the reminder unit 142, the indication receiving unit 143, etc., to power them.

[0066] Further, in this embodiment, the charging connection device 100 also includes a CP control guidance unit 146, which is connected to the control unit 144 and the output plug 120, and is used to exchange charging information with the vehicle 300. The output plug 120 is provided with a CP connection terminal, and the CP control guidance unit 146 is connected to the CP connection terminal. The specific structure of the CP control guidance unit 146 can be configured by those skilled in the art according to the requirements of the specification GB / T 18487.1-2015, and this application will not be described in detail here. In some embodiments, a CP connection terminal may be provided in the input plug 110, and the controller is connected to the CP connection terminal.

[0067] In this embodiment, the switch device 130 and the charging management component 140 are disposed in a separate box, and the box is connected to the input plug 110 and the output plug 120 through a charging cable. In some other embodiments, a separate box may not be provided, but the switch device 130 and the charging management component 140 may be built into the input plug 110 or the output plug 120.

[0068] The charging connection device 100 according to the present application is suitable for areas where the Norwegian IT power grid and TN power grid coexist. When the TN system power supply end is not grounded to allow AC charging, there is a risk of leakage of the AC charging connection device 100 phase line to PE. The PE connection status of the IT system's power socket cannot be detected (that is, the grounding detection unit 141 will detect that the power socket is not grounded), but the safety is better and there is no risk of leakage. The charging connection device 100 cannot detect whether PE is grounded when drawing power from the power socket of the Norwegian IT power system. The user can learn the cause of the fault indication based on the product alarm information in the user manual or product manual, and determine whether the power socket is connected to the IT power system by consulting electricians, power bureaus and other means. If so, the indication receiving unit 143 can input an indication to confirm charging, and then charge normally. When the charging connection device 100 draws power from a power socket of a non-IT power system (such as a TN power grid), the charging connection device 100 detects that the power socket is not grounded, and the reminder unit 142 is used to send a first reminder message. The user can learn the cause of the fault indication by obtaining the product alarm information from the user manual or product manual, and can determine whether the power socket is connected to the IT power system by consulting an electrician, the power bureau, or other means. If not, the user can subjectively determine whether to continue charging based on the risk warning in the user manual or product manual. Avoid the risk of electric shock caused by charging through a TN system power socket without knowing it.

[0069] The charging connection device 100 according to the present application is applicable to the national standard / European standard / American standard at the same time, and can charge all electric vehicles whose charging systems comply with the regulatory design, and the user confirms that the charging process is carried out outside the vehicle, which is convenient for user operation.

[0070] See attached Figure 3 The present application also provides a charging control method, which can be applied to the above-mentioned charging connection device 100, where the charging connection device 100 is connected between the power supply socket 200 and the vehicle 300.

[0071] The charging control method includes the following steps:

[0072] S10: When the power socket 200 is not grounded, a first reminder message is issued.

[0073] Specifically, the grounding detection unit 141 in the charging connection device 100 detects whether the power socket 200 is grounded. When the detection result is no, that is, when the power socket 200 is not grounded, the control unit 144 in the charging connection device 100 controls the reminder unit 142 to send a first reminder message to remind the user that the power socket 200 is not grounded. The first reminder message includes one or more of sound information, light information and image information.

[0074] S20 : ​​upon receiving a charging confirmation instruction from the user, the switch device 130 is controlled to be turned on to transmit the electric energy from the power supply socket 200 to the vehicle 300 .

[0075] Specifically, it is possible to detect whether a preset mechanical switch (i.e., a mechanical switch in the charging connection device 100) is triggered; or, detect whether a preset touch switch (i.e., a touch switch in the charging connection device 100) is triggered; or, detect whether a preset (a preset microphone in the charging connection device 100) receives a preset voice message. When the detection result is yes, that is, when an indication of confirming charging is received from the user, the live wire relay 131 and the neutral wire relay 132 are controlled to be turned on to transmit the power from the power socket 200 to the vehicle 300.

[0076] According to the charging control method of the present application, when the power socket 200 is not grounded, a first reminder message is first issued to remind the user that the power socket 200 is not grounded, and then, when an instruction to confirm charging is received from the user, that is, after the user's active confirmation is obtained, the power from the power socket 200 is transmitted to the vehicle 300. The charging process performed when the power socket 200 is not grounded is actively confirmed by the user, which can effectively avoid the risk of electric shock to the user without knowing it.

[0077] Exemplarily, the charging control method further includes:

[0078] S30 : When the power socket 200 is grounded, the switch device 130 is controlled to be turned on to transmit the electric energy from the power socket 200 to the vehicle 300 .

[0079] Specifically, the grounding detection unit 141 in the charging connection device 100 detects whether the power socket 200 is grounded. When the detection result is yes, that is, when the power socket 200 is grounded, the live relay 131 and the neutral relay 132 are controlled to be turned on to transmit the power from the power socket 200 to the vehicle 300.

[0080] Exemplarily, the charging control method further includes:

[0081] S40: When receiving the instruction of confirming charging from the user, issuing a second reminder message.

[0082] Specifically, when receiving an indication from the user to confirm charging, a second reminder message is sent through the reminder unit 142 in the charging connection device 100 to remind the user to beware of the risk of electric shock. The second reminder message may include one or more of sound information, light information and image information.
