Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of charging pile management, and in particular to a charging pile function configuration method and system. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, more and more consumers choose to buy energy-saving and environmentally friendly new energy vehicles, and charging pile technology has also developed rapidly. In order to adapt to the rapidly growing charging demand, charging piles are iterating at a high speed. Since the charging methods and protocols of each new energy vehicle are different, it is necessary to launch corresponding charging piles for different models of new energy vehicles to meet the diverse charging needs, resulting in a wide variety of charging piles on the market; at the same time, different charging piles also have different requirements for functions (peripherals). As charging piles are put into use, it is also necessary to update and iterate the existing functions, that is, to configure the functions.

[0003] Traditionally, each function and the corresponding driver are hard-coded in the program of the charging pile, which has the following disadvantages: 1. Any change in the demand for internal functions (functional configuration) requires modifying the program code and recompiling, and then undergoing a series of processes such as regression testing before it can be put on the market, which is inefficient; 2. Since the functions in the program are hard-coded, every time the hardware is updated, the code project needs to be rewritten and tested, which will consume a lot of time and resources; 3. The program layering is not clear enough, and there is a close coupling relationship between the driver and the program. The calling methods for different functions are different. When different functions need to be replaced, everything from the driver to the application layer needs to be rewritten, which not only increases development costs and time, but also reduces the maintainability and scalability of the charging pile.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a charging pile function configuration method and system to improve the efficiency of charging pile function configuration has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a charging pile function configuration method and system to improve the efficiency of charging pile function configuration.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for configuring a charging pile function, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Step S1, the charging pile creates a file system, groups the peripherals based on the device type, uniformly packages the drivers of the peripherals in each group, and sets the corresponding calling interface;

[0008] Step S2: The host computer creates a peripheral management file and a peripheral configuration file, and configures the peripheral management file and the peripheral configuration file to the file system through the communication interface;

[0009] Step S3: the charging pile performs a restart operation based on the restart instruction sent by the host computer, and reads the peripheral management file and the peripheral configuration file from the file system after the restart is completed;

[0010] Step S4: the charging pile performs function configuration based on the peripheral management file, the peripheral configuration file and the calling interface;

[0011] Step S5: The charging pile feeds back the function configuration result to the upper computer.

[0012] Furthermore, in step S1, the file system has the functions of power-off preservation, bad block search and wear leveling.

[0013] Furthermore, the step S2 is specifically as follows:

[0014] The host computer creates a peripheral management file in JSON format and a peripheral configuration file in JSON format; the peripheral management file is used to record the corresponding relationship between the charging pile and the function and device resources; the peripheral configuration file is used to record the device resources and device configuration information; the device resources are independent object devices realized by different board-level resources and external communication modules; the device configuration information is the attribute information;

[0015] The host computer configures the peripheral management file and the peripheral configuration file to the file system through the TCP interface, UDP interface, TFTP interface, FTP interface or the communication interface of the serial port.

[0016] Furthermore, the step S3 is specifically as follows:

[0017] The charging pile receives the restart instruction sent by the host computer, verifies the restart instruction and immediately executes the restart operation. After the restart is completed, the peripheral management file and the peripheral configuration file are automatically read from the file system through the BOOT program.

[0018] Furthermore, the step S4 is specifically as follows:

[0019] The charging pile parses the peripheral configuration file to obtain device resources and device configuration information, verifies the device resources, configures the device configuration information to the corresponding peripheral through the calling interface, and then manages the peripheral through the peripheral management file to complete the functional configuration of the charging pile.

[0020] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a charging pile function configuration system, comprising the following modules:

[0024] Function configuration module, used for the charging pile to perform function configuration based on the peripheral management file, peripheral configuration file and calling interface;

[0025] The configuration result feedback module is used for the charging pile to feedback the function configuration results to the upper computer.

[0026] Furthermore, in the initialization module, the file system has the functions of power-off preservation, bad block search and wear leveling.

[0027] Furthermore, the file configuration module is specifically used for:

[0042] The present invention manages different device resources of the charging pile in a unified manner at the driver level. For the same type of device resource drivers, unified framework scheduling is implemented from the interface and operation control, and the development and application of other modules are decoupled from the board level. Developers of different motherboard layers only need to be responsible for the motherboard hardware resources they develop and implement the corresponding driver framework. Other peripherals obtain the corresponding driver name according to the peripheral configuration file, and can use the on-board device resources after querying the specific driver object, so that when the motherboard is replaced, the peripheral program and the business program do not need to be changed.

[0043] Step S2: The host computer creates a peripheral management file and a peripheral configuration file, and configures the peripheral management file and the peripheral configuration file to the file system through the communication interface;

[0045] Step S4, the charging pile performs function configuration based on the peripheral management file, the peripheral configuration file and the calling interface; that is, the charging pile automatically reads the peripheral management file and the peripheral configuration file after powering on again, and then starts and configures each peripheral, and enables the corresponding module protection mechanism; if there is no peripheral configuration file or the peripheral configuration file fails to be parsed, the default configuration is used;

[0046] Step S5: The charging pile feeds back the function configuration result to the upper computer in real time through the communication interface.

[0047] The present invention automatically reads peripheral management files and peripheral configuration files when the charging pile is powered on, so as to set device drivers and module system protections in different states according to the peripheral management files and peripheral configuration files. The host computer can also use different communication interfaces to read and set each peripheral management file and peripheral configuration file.

[0048] In step S1, the file system has the functions of power-off saving, bad block search and wear leveling. The read and write operations of various configuration files can be effectively managed through the file system.
