[0049] As an optional implementation, in an embodiment of the invention, see Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the wake-up control device includes: a first communication module, a first main control module, and a first acquisition module. The first communication module is connected to the remote control device and the first main control module, and is used to receive remote control instructions and transmit them to the first main control module. The first acquisition module is connected to the battery and the first main control module, and is used to collect the power of the battery and transmit it to the first main control module. The first communication module is used to receive a remote wake-up control instruction or a remote sleep control instruction. When the power of the battery reaches the minimum value of the remaining power, the first communication module receives the remote wake-up control instruction, and then the first main control module remotely wakes up the vehicle controller and the energy storage system; when the first communication module receives the remote sleep control instruction, the first main control module remotely controls the vehicle controller and the energy storage system to sleep; the first main control module controls the energy storage system to charge the battery according to the power status of the battery collected by the first acquisition module, that is, controls the energy storage system to charge the battery when the power of the battery reaches the minimum value of the remaining power.

[0050] As an optional implementation, in an embodiment of the invention, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the wake-up control device also includes: a first control module, a wake-up relay K1, and a sleep relay K2. The first control module is connected to the first main control module, and the wake-up relay K1 and the sleep relay K2 are respectively connected to the first control module.

The positive pole of the battery is connected to the positive pole of the power supply of the vehicle controller, and the negative pole of the battery is connected to the negative pole of the power supply of the vehicle controller. At this time, the vehicle controller is powered on and awakened and can control the energy storage system to charge the battery; when the continuous closing time of the dormant relay K2 exceeds the minimum power-on control time of the magnetic latching relay, the main relay coil K1B, the auxiliary relay coil K2B, the main relay contact K1A and the auxiliary relay contact K2A are all disconnected, then the positive pole of the battery is disconnected from the positive pole of the power supply of the vehicle controller. At this time, the vehicle controller is disconnected and can be controlled to sleep; in addition, by applying a pulse voltage signal to the pull-in control end of the magnetic latching relay coil, the relay contact can be controlled to close, and by applying a pulse voltage signal to the disconnection control end of the magnetic latching relay coil, the relay contact can be controlled to disconnect. Since the magnetic latching relay adopts pulse control, it can overcome the disadvantage that traditional relays or contactors require continuous voltage signal control, can avoid the jitter and interference of the control signal, and improve the reliability of the control system.
