[0077] The present invention is further described below by way of examples, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the examples.

[0078] Example 1

[0079] The present embodiment provides a method for controlling off-station charging of a battery swapping vehicle. Off-station charging refers to charging a battery swapping vehicle outside a battery swapping station. A battery swapping station is an energy station that provides charging and rapid replacement of power batteries for electric vehicles. The batteries in the battery swapping vehicles are operated, managed or monitored by the battery swapping station. The battery swapping station here can be a single independent battery swapping station or multiple battery swapping stations under unified management. Charging a battery swapping vehicle outside a battery swapping station in the present embodiment does not specifically mean that the charging location of the battery swapping vehicle is not within a certain or arbitrary battery swapping station, but may also include situations where the charging location is not considered, and charging of the battery swapping vehicle is performed using charging equipment that is not at a battery swapping station or is not authorized by a battery swapping station. The method of the present embodiment can monitor the on-board battery and control the off-station charging behavior to achieve control over the entire life cycle of the battery.

[0080] Figure 1 A method for controlling off-station charging of a battery-swap vehicle according to this embodiment is shown. It includes:

[0081] Step 11: Obtain the usage status information of the battery in the battery-swap vehicle.

[0082] Among them, the usage status information may include relevant information that can be used as a basis for judging whether off-station charging is allowed, including but not limited to the battery's cumulative output electric energy value, the current output electric energy value, the battery's cumulative input electric energy value, the current input electric energy value, the battery's cumulative charging times, the battery's cumulative output capacity value, the current output capacity value, the battery's cumulative input capacity value, the current input capacity value, the battery's cumulative mileage, the battery's cumulative off-station slow charging times, the battery's cumulative off-station fast charging times, the cumulative off-station slow charging total capacity, the cumulative off-station slow charging total energy, the cumulative off-station fast charging total capacity, the cumulative off-station fast charging total energy, etc.

[0083] This step can obtain the battery usage status information from the battery swap controller, battery management system, vehicle controller, battery swap station, etc. to control off-station charging behavior.

[0084] Step 12: Send the usage status information to the battery swap server so that the battery swap server generates and feeds back matching off-station charging control information based on the usage status information.

[0085] The battery swap server can be a traditional server or cloud server that can realize off-site charging control. The specific battery swap server can pre-store the off-site charging control logic, analyze and process the above-mentioned usage status information, match the corresponding off-site charging control logic, and generate whether off-site charging or other off-site charging control information is allowed. Of course, the function of the battery swap server is not limited to this. It can also further integrate functions such as vehicle or battery battery swap information storage and management.

[0086] Step 13: Receive off-station charging control information, and control the off-station charging behavior when the battery is installed in the battery swap vehicle according to the off-station charging control information.

[0087] Among them, controlling the off-station charging behavior when the battery is installed in a battery swapping vehicle may include controlling the currently ongoing off-station charging behavior, such as allowing or prohibiting the currently ongoing off-station charging behavior; it may also include controlling the off-station charging behavior that may occur in the future, such as allowing or prohibiting the next time or multiple times in the future or within a period of time in the future off-station charging behavior; it may also include both controlling the currently ongoing off-station charging behavior and controlling the off-station charging behavior that may occur in the future.

[0088] In this embodiment, by obtaining the battery usage status information, uploading the usage status information to the battery swap server and downloading the off-station charging control information from the battery swap server, the off-station charging behavior when the battery is installed in the battery swap vehicle can be controlled, thereby managing the entire life cycle of the battery and extending the battery service life.

[0089] In one practicable manner, step 11 may specifically include: obtaining the usage status information of the battery in the battery swap vehicle according to a time period. The time period may be a preset value, such as obtaining the usage status information every five minutes. Of course, the present embodiment is not limited thereto, and the length of the time period may be set as needed. The time period may be a fixed value, such as using the same time period throughout the day to obtain the usage status information of the battery in the battery swap vehicle; or it may be a variable value in different time periods, such as using a shorter time period to obtain the usage status information of the battery in the battery swap vehicle during the peak charging period, and using a longer time period to obtain the usage status information of the battery in the battery swap vehicle during the low charging period.

[0090] Step 12 may specifically include: sending the usage status information to the battery swap server in real time, so that when the continuously received usage status information changes, the battery swap server generates and feeds back the matching off-station charging control information according to the latest received usage status information. The battery swap server determines whether the off-station charging control information needs to be updated by comparing whether the continuously received usage status information has changed, thereby achieving timely and effective control of off-station charging behavior.

[0091] In this embodiment, the battery usage status information is periodically acquired and uploaded in real time so that the off-station charging control information can be updated in time when the usage status information changes, thereby ensuring the timeliness and effectiveness of the off-station charging control information.

[0092] In one feasible method, the usage status information of the battery in the battery swap vehicle can be obtained during each off-station charging process or after charging is completed and sent to the battery swap server in real time.

[0093] In one practicable manner, the off-station charging control method can be applied to a battery swap controller. Figure 2 A method for controlling off-station charging of a battery swapping vehicle is shown, and step 11 may specifically include:

[0094] Step 111: Obtain the usage status information of the battery in the battery swapping vehicle from the battery management system. For example, the usage status information of the battery in the battery swapping vehicle is obtained from the battery management system according to a time period.

[0095] Step 13 may specifically include:

[0096] Step 131: Receive off-station charging control information and forward it to the battery management system, and control the off-station charging behavior when the battery is installed in the battery swap vehicle according to the off-station charging control information.

[0097] In this embodiment, the battery swap controller can communicate with the battery management system and the battery swap server respectively, and then become a transfer device for information transmission between the battery management system and the battery swap server, realizing the upload of usage status information from the battery management system to the battery swap server, and the download of off-site charging control information from the battery swap server to the battery management system. The method of this embodiment is particularly suitable for situations where the battery management system cannot communicate directly with the battery swap server. The reason why the battery management system cannot communicate directly with the battery swap server may be that the battery management system itself does not have the ability to communicate with the battery swap server, or the battery management system has the ability to communicate with the battery swap server but cannot communicate with the battery swap server due to a communication module failure.

[0098] In an implementable manner, when the original on-board device of the electric vehicle opens the data interaction permission, the off-station charging control method can be applied to the original on-board device, which includes but is not limited to the vehicle controller. The original on-board device obtains the usage status information of the battery in the battery swap vehicle from the battery management system and reports it to the battery swap server, receives the off-station charging control information sent by the battery swap server and forwards it to the battery management system, and controls the off-station charging behavior when the battery is installed in the battery swap vehicle according to the off-station charging control information.

[0099] Further, Figure 3 A specific process of step 131 is shown, which may specifically include:

[0100] Step 1311: Receive off-station charging control information.

[0101] Step 1312: Generate an off-station charging control instruction according to the off-station charging control information.

[0102] Step 1313: Send the off-station charging control instruction to the battery management system, triggering the battery management system to execute the off-station charging control instruction to control the off-station charging behavior when the battery is installed in the battery swap vehicle.

[0103] In this embodiment, the battery swap controller and the battery swap server exchange data through an agreed network communication protocol. After receiving the off-station charging control information, the battery swap controller converts it into off-station control instructions readable by the battery management system, and then sends it to the battery management system to control the battery management system, thereby controlling the off-station charging behavior. Among them, the network communication protocol can be MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport), which is a "lightweight" communication protocol based on the publish / subscribe model. The protocol is built on TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol). The advantage of using MQTT is that it can provide real-time and reliable message services for connected remote devices with very little code and limited bandwidth. The battery swap controller can use the vehicle bus network to send off-station charging control instructions to the battery management system.

[0104] Furthermore, when the off-site charging control information includes off-site charging permission information, step 1312 may specifically include: generating an off-site charging permission instruction and an off-site charging parameter setting instruction according to the off-site charging permission information. Among them, the off-site charging parameters may include but are not limited to the maximum charging current allowed for off-site charging, the total amount of electricity that can be charged for off-site charging, and the number of times that can be charged off-site. The off-site charging permission information may directly include the indication information of allowing off-site charging behavior and the specific setting information of the off-site charging parameters. At this time, this step obtains the corresponding indication information and specific setting information by parsing the off-site charging permission information, and converts them into the off-site charging permission instruction and the off-site charging parameter setting instruction. The off-station charging permission information may also include indication information for allowing off-station charging, but does not include or only includes specific setting information of some off-station charging parameters, while all or the remaining specific setting information of the off-station charging parameters is pre-stored in the battery swap controller: when the battery swap controller receives the off-station charging control information, the battery swap controller generates an off-station charging permission instruction according to the indication information for allowing off-station charging, and retrieves the specific setting information of all pre-stored off-station charging parameters from the battery swap controller to generate an off-station charging parameter setting instruction. In other words, each off-station charging behavior uses the same default off-station charging parameters. By pre-storing them in the battery swap controller, the transmission between the battery swap server and the battery swap controller can be reduced. The effect of reducing the amount of data; or, combining the specific setting information of some off-station charging parameters included in the off-station charging permission information with the specific setting information of the remaining off-station charging parameters retrieved from the battery swap controller to generate a complete off-station charging parameter setting instruction. That is to say, each off-station charging behavior adopts some of the same default off-station charging parameters, while the remaining off-station charging parameters are set by the battery swap server according to actual conditions. By pre-storing some off-station charging parameters in the battery swap controller, the effect of reducing the amount of data transmitted between the battery swap server and the battery swap controller can be achieved to a certain extent. By having the battery swap server set the remaining off-station charging parameters, the effect of improving setting flexibility can be achieved.

[0105] Step 1313 may specifically include: sending an off-station charging permission instruction and an off-station charging parameter setting instruction to the battery management system, so that the battery management system executes the off-station charging permission instruction to allow the off-station charging behavior when the battery is installed in the battery swapping vehicle, and executes the off-station charging parameter setting instruction to control the off-station charging behavior. After receiving the off-station charging permission instruction, the battery management system regards the off-station charging behavior as a legal behavior, and controls the off-station charging behavior according to the off-station charging parameters. For example, the charging current of the off-station charging shall not exceed the maximum allowed charging current, the total amount of electricity charged by the off-station charging shall not exceed the total amount of electricity that can be charged, and the total number of off-station charging shall not exceed the number of off-station charging times, etc. If exceeded, the off-station charging behavior is prohibited.

[0106] In this embodiment, by generating an off-station charging permission instruction and an off-station charging parameter setting instruction and sending them to the battery management system, charging control of the battery management system is achieved, thereby ensuring effective execution of the instructions.

[0107] When the off-station charging control information includes off-station charging prohibition information, step 1312 may specifically include: generating an off-station charging prohibition instruction according to the off-station charging prohibition information. Step 1313 may specifically include: sending the off-station charging prohibition instruction to the battery management system, so that the battery management system executes the off-station charging prohibition instruction to prohibit the off-station charging behavior when the battery is installed in the battery swapping vehicle. After receiving the off-station charging prohibition instruction, the battery management system regards the off-station charging behavior as an illegal behavior and may prohibit the off-station charging behavior by turning off the battery charging switch, limiting the battery current input, etc.

[0108] In this embodiment, by generating an off-station charging prohibition instruction and sending it to the battery management system, charging control of the battery management system is implemented, thereby ensuring effective execution of the instruction.

[0109] Example 2

[0110] Figure 4 The embodiment shows an off-station charging control system for a battery swapping vehicle, which includes: an information acquisition module 21 , an information sending module 22 and an information receiving module 23 .

[0111] The information acquisition module 21 is used to obtain the usage status information of the battery in the battery-swap vehicle.

[0112] The information sending module 22 is used to send the usage status information to the battery swap server, so that the battery swap server generates and feeds back matching off-station charging control information based on the usage status information.

[0113] The information receiving module 23 is used to receive off-station charging control information and control the off-station charging behavior when the battery is installed in the battery swapping vehicle according to the off-station charging control information.

[0114] In an implementable manner, the information acquisition module 21 can be specifically used to obtain the usage status information of the battery in the battery swap vehicle according to a time period. The information sending module 22 can be specifically used to send the usage status information to the battery swap server in real time, so that when the usage status information continuously received changes, the battery swap server generates and feeds back matching off-station charging control information based on the latest received usage status information.

[0115] In one feasible method, the usage status information of the battery in the battery swap vehicle can be obtained during each off-station charging process or after charging is completed and sent to the battery swap server in real time.

[0116] In one implementable manner, the off-station charging control system can be specifically applied to the battery swap controller; the information acquisition module 21 can be specifically used to obtain the usage status information of the battery in the battery swap vehicle from the battery management system; the information receiving module 23 can be specifically used to receive the off-station charging control information and forward it to the battery management system, and control the off-station charging behavior when the battery is installed in the battery swap vehicle according to the off-station charging control information.

[0117] In an implementable manner, when the original on-board device of the electric vehicle opens data interaction permissions, the off-station charging control system can be applied to the original on-board device, which includes but is not limited to the vehicle controller. The original on-board device obtains the usage status information of the battery in the battery swap vehicle from the battery management system and reports it to the battery swap server, receives the off-station charging control information sent by the battery swap server and forwards it to the battery management system, and controls the off-station charging behavior when the battery is installed in the battery swap vehicle according to the off-station charging control information.
