[0002] With the popularity of new energy vehicles (hereinafter referred to as "vehicles"), the charging technology of vehicles is also in a rapid development stage, so that users can feel more convenience when charging vehicles.

[0003] At present, in the process of controlling automatic charging of vehicles through a corresponding platform (for example, a charging cloud platform), since the vehicle models are updated and replaced quickly, once the vehicle model is upgraded, a large amount of work is required for the development of the charging cloud platform, and there are problems of automatic charging delay and automatic charging failure, thereby affecting the normal charging of the vehicle.

[0004] Therefore, in the process of automatic charging of the vehicle, how to ensure the normal charging of the vehicle becomes a problem to be solved. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application provides a vehicle charging method, a vehicle charging device and a vehicle charging system, which can ensure the normal charging of the vehicle in the process of automatic charging of the vehicle.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides a vehicle charging method applied to a vehicle cloud platform, the method comprising:

[0007] In the case of receiving an automatic charging request of a target vehicle, target information of the target vehicle is obtained; based on the target information, it is determined whether to automatically charge the target vehicle; in the case of determining to automatically charge the target vehicle, automatic charging indication information of the target vehicle is sent to the charging cloud platform to instruct the charging cloud platform to control the charging equipment to automatically charge the target vehicle through the target cloud platform.

[0008] The vehicle cloud platform can obtain target information of the target vehicle when receiving the automatic charging request of the target vehicle, and determine whether to automatically charge the target vehicle by using the target information. When it is determined to automatically charge the target vehicle, the vehicle cloud platform can send automatic charging indication information of the target vehicle to the charging cloud platform, so as to instruct the charging cloud platform to control the charging device to automatically charge the target vehicle through the target cloud platform. Compared with setting the process of obtaining the target information of the target vehicle and determining whether to automatically charge the target vehicle by using the target information in the charging cloud platform, the process is set in the vehicle cloud platform in the present application, which reduces the data processing amount and data transmission amount of the charging cloud platform, maximally avoids the problem of signal delay of the charging cloud platform due to too much data transmission and data processing task, avoids the delay of vehicle automatic charging, and thus ensures the normal charging of the vehicle in the vehicle automatic charging process.

[0009] In addition, by setting the vehicle cloud platform, the vehicle model database of different vehicle models can be stored in the vehicle cloud platform to adapt to the automatic charging control of different vehicle models, greatly reducing the data burden of the charging cloud platform. At the same time, the vehicle cloud platform can facilitate the operation and update of the vehicle model database by the vehicle manufacturer, so that the vehicle model is updated and iterated, the change to the charging cloud platform is reduced, the update difficulty of the automatic charging cloud platform is reduced, and the normal charging of the vehicle is further ensured.

[0010] In combination with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the obtaining of the target information of the target vehicle includes:

[0011] The target information is obtained from a target terminal of a user corresponding to the target vehicle, or the target information is obtained from storage information of the vehicle cloud platform.

[0012] The vehicle cloud platform can obtain the target information of the target vehicle from a target terminal of a user corresponding to the target vehicle, or the vehicle cloud platform obtains the target information of the target vehicle from its own storage information. Since the obtaining of the target information of the target vehicle is set in the charging cloud platform, the data transmission amount of the charging cloud platform is reduced, and the problem of signal delay of the charging cloud platform due to too much data transmission can be avoided, and the delay of vehicle automatic charging is avoided. Therefore, in the vehicle automatic charging process, the normal charging of the vehicle can be ensured.

[0013] In combination with the first aspect and the above implementations, in some implementations of the first aspect, the receiving of the automatic charging request of the target vehicle includes:

[0014] In a case where the target vehicle meets an automatic charging condition, an automatic charging request sent by the charging cloud platform is received; the automatic charging condition includes a current image of the target vehicle collected by a target camera indicating that the target vehicle is parked in an automatic charging parking space.

[0015] The technical solution has the advantages that, when the current image of the target vehicle collected by the target camera indicates that the target vehicle is parked in the automatic charging parking space, it can be determined that the target vehicle has a charging demand. Therefore, the target vehicle can send an automatic charging request to the charging cloud platform through the target camera, the vehicle and the charging cloud platform are decoupled, the charging cloud platform can respond to the charging demand of any vehicle, the charging cloud platform can only respond to the charging demand of a specific brand or a specific vehicle type is avoided, the charging of the target vehicle is more convenient, and therefore the user experience is improved.

[0016] With reference to the first aspect and the implementation manner, in some implementation manners of the first aspect, the determining, based on the target information, whether to automatically charge the target vehicle includes:

[0017] The target information includes identification information of the target vehicle and / or target parking space information, the target parking space information is used to indicate parking space information where the target vehicle is located, and the determining, based on the identification information of the target vehicle and / or the target parking space information, whether to automatically charge the target vehicle.

[0018] In the technical solution, the identification information of the target vehicle and / or the target parking space information is used to determine whether to automatically charge the target vehicle, so that the user does not need to perform a related operation, the vehicle cloud platform can determine whether to automatically charge the target vehicle according to the identification information of the target vehicle and / or the target parking space information, the operation of the user in the vehicle charging process is reduced, and the convenience of vehicle charging is improved.

[0019] With reference to the first aspect and the implementation manner, in some implementation manners of the first aspect, the method further includes:

[0020] The charging white list is obtained, the target information includes the identification information of the target vehicle, and the determining, based on the identification information of the target vehicle and / or the target parking space information, whether to automatically charge the target vehicle includes: determining, based on the identification information of the target vehicle and the charging white list, whether to automatically charge the target vehicle; or determining, based on the identification information of the target vehicle, the charging white list, and the target parking space information, whether to automatically charge the target vehicle.

[0021] The technical solution has the advantages that the vehicle cloud platform determines whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the identification information of the target vehicle and the charging white list, or determines whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the identification information of the target vehicle, the target parking space information of the vehicle, and the charging white list, and determines whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on multi-dimensional data related to the target vehicle, thereby reducing the operation of the user in the vehicle charging process and improving the accuracy of determining whether to automatically charge the target vehicle.

[0022] With reference to the first aspect and the implementation manners above, in some implementation manners of the first aspect, the determination of whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the identification information of the target vehicle and the charging white list comprises the following.

[0023] The identification information of the target vehicle is used to determine the charging mode configuration information of the target vehicle, the charging mode configuration information comprises an automatic charging mode and / or a manual charging mode, if the charging mode configuration information comprises the automatic charging mode and the identification information of the target vehicle is included in the charging white list, it is determined that the target vehicle is automatically charged, and if the charging mode configuration information does not comprise the automatic charging mode and / or the identification information of the target vehicle is not included in the charging white list, it is determined that the target vehicle is not automatically charged.

[0024] The technical solution has the advantages that if the charging mode configuration information comprises the automatic charging mode and the identification information of the target vehicle is included in the charging white list, it is determined that the target vehicle is automatically charged, and if the identification information of the target vehicle is not included in the charging white list and / or the charging mode configuration information does not comprise the automatic charging mode, it is determined that the target vehicle is not automatically charged, thereby ensuring the accuracy of automatically charging the target vehicle and improving the user experience.

[0025] With reference to the first aspect and the implementation manners above, in some implementation manners of the first aspect, the determination of whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the identification information of the target vehicle, the charging white list, and the target parking space information comprises the following.

[0026] If the target parking space information is an automatic charging parking space and the identification information of the target vehicle is included in the charging white list, it is determined that the target vehicle is automatically charged, and if the identification information of the target vehicle is not included in the charging white list and / or the target parking space information is not an automatic charging parking space, it is determined that the target vehicle is not automatically charged.

[0027] In the above technical solution, if the target parking space information is an automatic charging space and the charging whitelist includes the identification information of the target vehicle, it is determined that the target vehicle will be automatically charged; if the charging whitelist does not include the identification information of the target vehicle, and / or the target parking space information is not an automatic charging space, it is determined that the target vehicle will not be automatically charged; thereby determining the user's current intention through the target parking space information, and combining the user's current intention with the charging whitelist to determine that the target vehicle will be automatically charged, and thus no user intervention is required, thereby ensuring the accuracy of automatic charging of the target vehicle.

[0028] In combination with the first aspect and the above implementations, in certain implementations of the first aspect, the target information includes model information of the target vehicle, and the method further includes:

[0029] Based on the model information of the target vehicle, the target moving path of the robotic arm is determined; the above-mentioned automatic charging instruction information of the target vehicle is sent to the charging cloud platform to instruct the charging cloud platform to control the charging equipment through the target cloud platform to automatically charge the target vehicle, including: sending automatic charging instruction information and the target moving path to the charging cloud platform to instruct the charging cloud platform to control the robotic arm through the robotic arm cloud platform to move the target charging gun along the target moving path to automatically charge the target vehicle.

[0030] In this technical solution, the vehicle cloud platform, after determining the target movement path of the robotic arm based on the target vehicle's model information, sends an automatic charging instruction and the target movement path to the charging cloud platform. The charging cloud platform, through the robotic arm cloud platform, controls the robotic arm to move the target charging gun along the target movement path, automatically charging the vehicle. Because the robotic arm's movement path matches the target vehicle's model information, it ensures that the target charging gun can be accurately inserted into the target vehicle's charging port, further ensuring normal charging of the vehicle.

[0031] In combination with the first aspect and the above implementations, in some implementations of the first aspect, the method further includes:

[0032] Obtain a target mapping relationship; wherein the target mapping relationship is used to represent the mapping relationship between vehicle model information and the moving path; and receive a current image sent by the auxiliary cloud platform; determine the current position of the charging port based on the current image and the vehicle model information of the target vehicle; the above-mentioned determination of the target moving path of the robotic arm based on the vehicle model information of the target vehicle includes: determining a preset moving path corresponding to the vehicle model information of the target vehicle based on the vehicle model information of the target vehicle and the target mapping relationship; adjusting the preset moving path based on the current position to obtain the target moving path.

[0033] In the above technical solution, when the vehicle cloud platform determines the target moving path corresponding to the vehicle model information of the target vehicle, it can obtain the mapping relationship between the pre-set vehicle model information and the moving path. First, the preset moving path corresponding to the vehicle model information of the target vehicle is determined through the pre-set mapping relationship and the vehicle model information of the target vehicle, and then the preset moving path is adjusted according to the current position of the charging port of the target vehicle. The adjusted preset moving path is determined as the target moving path corresponding to the target vehicle. In this process, the vehicle model information of the target vehicle and the current position of the charging port of the target vehicle are taken into account, thereby improving the accuracy of the target moving path and further ensuring the normal charging of the vehicle.

[0034] In addition, since the mapping relationship is pre-set on the vehicle cloud platform, when the model information of the target vehicle is updated or the model information of a new vehicle is added, the mapping relationship can be easily updated, making the mapping relationship more accurate. Therefore, the target moving path corresponding to the model information of the target vehicle can be determined more accurately through a more accurate mapping relationship and the model information of the target vehicle, further ensuring the normal charging of the vehicle.

[0035] In addition, the vehicle cloud platform determines the current position of the target vehicle's charging port through the target vehicle's image and the target vehicle's model information. When the target vehicle is parked with a deviation, the accuracy of the current position of the target vehicle's charging port is improved. On the basis of a more accurate current position of the target vehicle's charging port, the accuracy of the target moving path is improved, further ensuring the normal charging of the vehicle.

[0036] In a second aspect, the present application provides a vehicle charging method, applied to a charging cloud platform, the method comprising:

[0037] Upon receiving an automatic charging request from a target vehicle, the automatic charging request is sent to the vehicle cloud platform so that the vehicle cloud platform obtains target information of the target vehicle upon receiving the automatic charging request; automatic charging indication information of the target vehicle sent by the vehicle cloud platform is received; wherein the automatic charging indication information is sent by the vehicle cloud platform when it determines to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the target information; in response to the automatic charging indication information, an automatic charging instruction is sent to the target cloud platform so that the target cloud platform controls the charging equipment to automatically charge the target vehicle.

[0038] In the above technical solution, upon receiving an automatic charging request from a target vehicle, the charging cloud platform can send the automatic charging request to the vehicle cloud platform, so that the vehicle cloud platform can obtain the target vehicle's target information upon receiving the automatic charging request from the target vehicle and determine whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the target information. Furthermore, if the vehicle cloud platform determines to automatically charge the target vehicle, it can receive the target vehicle's automatic charging instruction information sent by the vehicle cloud platform and, in response to the automatic charging instruction information, send an automatic charging instruction to the target cloud platform, so that the target cloud platform controls the charging device to automatically charge the target vehicle. Compared to placing the process of obtaining the target vehicle's target information and determining whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the target information within the charging cloud platform, the present application places the process of obtaining the target vehicle's target information and determining whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the target information within the vehicle cloud platform, reducing the amount of data processing and data transmission on the charging cloud platform, minimizing the problem of signal delay caused by the charging cloud platform assuming excessive data transmission and data processing tasks, and avoiding delays in automatic charging of the vehicle, thereby ensuring normal charging of the vehicle during the automatic charging process.

[0039] In conjunction with the second aspect, in certain implementations of the second aspect, upon receiving an automatic charging request from a target vehicle, sending the automatic charging request to the vehicle cloud platform includes:

[0040] When the target vehicle meets the automatic charging conditions, an automatic charging request sent by the auxiliary cloud platform is received; wherein the automatic charging conditions include the current image of the target vehicle captured by the target camera indicating that the target vehicle is parked in the automatic charging parking space; when the automatic charging request is received, the automatic charging request is sent to the vehicle cloud platform.

[0041] In the above technical solution, when the current image of the target vehicle captured by the target camera indicates that the target vehicle is parked in an automatic charging space, it can be indicated that the target vehicle needs to be charged. Therefore, the auxiliary cloud platform corresponding to the target camera (for example, the camera cloud platform) can send an automatic charging request for the target vehicle to the charging cloud platform. This achieves decoupling between the vehicle and the charging cloud platform, allowing the charging cloud platform to respond to the charging needs of any vehicle, avoiding the charging cloud platform being limited to responding to the charging needs of specific brands or models. This makes charging of the target vehicle more convenient, thereby improving the user experience.

[0042] In combination with the second aspect and the above implementations, in certain implementations of the second aspect, the automatic charging instruction includes a first charging instruction and a second charging instruction; and sending the automatic charging instruction to the target cloud platform so that the target cloud platform controls the charging device to automatically charge the target vehicle includes:

[0043] A first charging instruction is sent to the robotic arm cloud platform so that the robotic arm cloud platform controls the robotic arm to connect the target charging gun to the charging port of the target vehicle; wherein the first charging instruction includes the identification of the target charging gun; a second charging instruction is sent to the charging pile cloud platform so that the charging pile cloud platform controls the charging pile corresponding to the target charging gun to start automatic charging of the target vehicle.

[0044] The above technical solution sends a first charging instruction to the manipulator cloud platform through the charging cloud platform, and then the manipulator cloud platform responds to the first charging instruction to control the manipulator to connect the target charging gun to the charging port of the target vehicle (i.e., plug it in). The charging cloud platform sends a second charging instruction to the charging pile cloud platform, and then the charging pile cloud platform responds to the second charging instruction to control the charging pile corresponding to the target charging gun to start. Compared with the charging cloud platform directly controlling the manipulator and the charging pile corresponding to the target charging gun, part of the control content (i.e., the control of the manipulator and the charging pile) is distributed to the corresponding manipulator cloud platform and charging pile cloud platform, which reduces the data transmission volume of the charging cloud platform, thereby improving the data processing efficiency of the charging cloud platform. Furthermore, during the automatic charging process of the vehicle, the charging efficiency of the vehicle is improved.

[0045] In a third aspect, the present application provides a vehicle charging device configured on a vehicle cloud platform, the device comprising:

[0047] a processing module, configured to determine whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the target information;

[0048] The sending module is used to send automatic charging instruction information of the target vehicle to the charging cloud platform when it is determined that the target vehicle is to be automatically charged, so as to instruct the charging cloud platform to control the charging equipment to automatically charge the target vehicle through the target cloud platform.

[0049] In a fourth aspect, the present application provides a vehicle charging device configured on a charging cloud platform, the device comprising:

[0050] A first sending module is configured to send the automatic charging request to the vehicle cloud platform upon receiving the automatic charging request from the target vehicle, so that the vehicle cloud platform retrieves target information of the target vehicle upon receiving the automatic charging request;

[0051] A receiving module, configured to receive confirmation information sent by the vehicle cloud platform for automatically charging the target vehicle; wherein the confirmation information is sent by the vehicle cloud platform when it determines to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the target information;

[0052] The control module is used to send an automatic charging instruction to the target cloud platform in response to the confirmation information, so that the target cloud platform controls the charging device to automatically charge the target vehicle.

[0068] The following will clearly and thoroughly describe the technical solutions in this application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B: "and / or" in the text is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" means two or more than two.

[0069] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to imply or suggest relative importance or implicitly indicate the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0070] Figure 1 This is a scenario diagram of a vehicle charging method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0071] For example, Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The system includes a vehicle 100, a parking space 110, a charging pile 120, a charging gun 130 mechanically connected to the charging pile 120, and a robotic arm 140.

[0072] The charging pile 120 may be used to represent an AC charging pile or a DC charging pile, and the charging pile 120 may provide current to the vehicle 100 when the vehicle 100 is automatically charged.

[0073] The charging gun 130 can be plugged into a charging port in the vehicle 100 to deliver current from the charging post 120 to the vehicle 100 .

[0074] The robotic arm 140 can be used to connect the charging gun 130 to the charging port of the vehicle 100. The robotic arm 140 can have multiple joints and 360-degree rotation, and can perform posture adjustment, path planning, etc. In addition, the robotic arm 140 can be equipped with a camera to perform image recognition algorithms on images captured by the camera to identify the location of the charging gun, charging port cover, charging port, etc.

[0075] For example, when the vehicle 100 is parked in the parking space 110, the charging gun 130 can be grabbed by the robotic arm 140 and inserted into the charging port of the vehicle 100. Furthermore, when the charging pile 120 is started (also referred to as "powered on"), current can be transmitted to the vehicle 100 through the charging gun 130 to automatically charge the vehicle 100.

[0076] In related technologies, to achieve seamless charging for users, a charging cloud platform can be used to control the vehicle's automatic charging process. During this process, the charging cloud platform needs to obtain and process relevant vehicle information to automatically charge the vehicle. During this process, the charging cloud platform may experience signal delays due to the large amount of vehicle-related information it receives and the large amount of data it processes. This can cause delays in the vehicle's automatic charging process and affect normal charging.

[0077] Therefore, in order to solve the problem of vehicle automatic charging delay, the present application proposes a vehicle charging method, a vehicle charging device and a vehicle charging system.

[0078] The following combination Figures 2 to 6 The vehicle charging method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail.

[0079] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a vehicle charging framework provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0080] For example, Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2In the process, data can be transmitted through the vehicle cloud platform (which can be simply referred to as "vehicle cloud"), the robotic arm cloud platform (which can be simply referred to as "arm cloud"), the charging cloud platform (which can be simply referred to as "energy cloud"), the charging pile cloud platform (which can be simply referred to as "pile cloud") and the accessory cloud platform (for example, the camera cloud platform), thereby automatically charging vehicle 1 and / or vehicle 2. Among them, the vehicle cloud platform is communicatively connected to the charging cloud platform, and the charging cloud platform is communicatively connected to the robotic arm cloud platform, the charging pile cloud platform and the accessory cloud platform respectively (i.e., interconnected), and the robotic arm can perform near-field communication with the charging pile. The vehicle cloud platform corresponds to the vehicle, the robotic arm cloud platform corresponds to the robotic arm, the charging pile cloud platform corresponds to the charging pile, and the accessory cloud platform corresponds to the target camera.

[0081] For example, when a target camera captures an image of vehicle 1 parked in parking space 1, the image can be uploaded to the accessory cloud platform, which then sends an automatic charging request to the charging cloud platform. Upon receiving the automatic charging request, the charging cloud platform can transparently transmit it to the vehicle cloud platform, allowing the vehicle cloud platform to authenticate vehicle 1 and determine whether vehicle 1 meets the automatic charging conditions. When vehicle 1 meets the automatic charging conditions, the vehicle cloud platform can send an automatic charging instruction to the charging cloud platform, which in turn sends a gun insertion instruction to the robotic arm cloud platform, causing the robotic arm cloud platform to control the robotic arm to grab charging gun 1 and insert it into the charging port of vehicle 1. Furthermore, the charging cloud platform can respond to the automatic charging instruction by sending a start instruction to the charging pile cloud platform, activating charging pile 1 to deliver current to vehicle 1 via charging gun 1, thereby automatically charging vehicle 1.

[0082] Optionally, when the auxiliary cloud platform receives the image captured by the target camera, it can pre-process the image and transmit the pre-processed image to the charging cloud platform so that the charging cloud platform can recognize the pre-processed image and obtain the vehicle's identification information (license plate number, VIN code), the vehicle's parking space information, the parking space status, etc., or transmit the pre-processed image to the vehicle cloud platform through the charging cloud platform, and recognize the pre-processed image through the vehicle cloud platform. Pre-processing the image captured by the target camera through the auxiliary cloud platform can make the pre-processed image have better fidelity, thereby improving the credibility of the recognition result when the charging cloud platform and / or the vehicle cloud platform recognize the pre-processed image.

[0083] The preprocessing may include but is not limited to denoising, de-distortion, and contrast enhancement.

[0084] It should be noted that the vehicle cloud platform is generally built by the car company itself, so that when the vehicle is upgraded or updated, the upgraded and updated content can be configured in real time on the vehicle cloud platform.

[0085] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of another framework for vehicle charging provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0086] For example, Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 It can include vehicles, vehicle cloud platform, charging cloud platform, robotic arm cloud platform, robotic arm, charging pile cloud platform, charging pile, accessories cloud platform and camera. Figure 3 The connection relationship in Figure 2 The same, no longer repeated here.

[0087] For example, different communication links can be formed between the vehicle, the vehicle cloud platform, the charging cloud platform, the robotic arm cloud platform, the robotic arm, the charging pile cloud platform, the charging pile, the accessories cloud platform, and the camera. A communication link between the vehicle cloud platform and the charging cloud platform always exists. Furthermore, no communication link exists between the vehicle and the vehicle cloud platform, indicating that the vehicle and the vehicle cloud platform are decoupled.

[0088] Communication link 1: The communication link formed between the charging cloud platform, the robotic arm cloud platform, and the robotic arm.

[0089] Communication link 2: The communication link formed between the charging cloud platform, the charging pile cloud platform, and the charging piles.

[0090] Communication link 3: The communication link formed between the charging cloud platform, the accessories cloud platform, and the camera.

[0091] Communication link 4: When communication link 2 is abnormal, the communication link formed between the charging cloud platform, the robotic arm cloud platform, the robotic arm, and the charging pile, and the near-field communication between the robotic arm and the charging pile are replaced by the communication link between the charging cloud platform, the robotic arm cloud platform, the robotic arm, and the charging pile.

[0092] Communication link 5: When communication link 1 is abnormal, the communication link formed between the charging cloud platform, the charging pile cloud platform, the charging pile, and the robotic arm, and the near-field communication between the robotic arm and the charging pile are replaced by the communication link between the charging cloud platform, the charging pile cloud platform, the charging pile, and the robotic arm to replace communication link 1.

[0094] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the method 400 includes S410-S430:

[0095] S410 : Upon receiving an automatic charging request from a target vehicle, obtaining target information of the target vehicle.

[0096] For example, when the battery level of a vehicle to be charged (which may be referred to as a "target vehicle") is too low and there is a need for charging, the driver may drive the target vehicle to an automatic charging parking space to charge the target vehicle.

[0097] Optionally, the above-mentioned receiving of the automatic charging request of the target vehicle includes: receiving the automatic charging request sent by the charging cloud platform when the target vehicle meets the automatic charging conditions; wherein the automatic charging conditions include the current image of the target vehicle captured by the target camera indicating that the target vehicle is parked in the automatic charging parking space.

[0098] For example, when the target vehicle stops at an automatic charging parking space (such as Figure 2 When the target vehicle is in parking space 1 or parking space 2, it indicates that the target vehicle has a charging demand. The target camera corresponding to parking space 1 or parking space 2 (that is, the above-mentioned target camera) can automatically capture the current image of the target vehicle, and upload the captured current image of the target vehicle to the auxiliary cloud platform, so as to send an automatic charging request to the charging cloud platform through the auxiliary cloud platform (that is, the automatic charging request is triggered by the target camera). When the charging cloud platform receives the automatic charging request, it can transmit the automatic charging request to the vehicle cloud platform, so that the vehicle cloud platform receives the automatic charging request of the target vehicle.

[0099] Optionally, when the vehicle cloud platform is communicatively connected to the accessory cloud platform, the accessory cloud platform can also directly send the automatic charging request of the target vehicle to the vehicle cloud platform, shortening the communication link and thereby improving the data processing efficiency of the vehicle cloud platform.

[0100] Optionally, upon receiving the current image of the target vehicle captured by the target camera, the auxiliary component cloud platform may pre-process the current image to obtain a pre-processed image, and then send the pre-processed image to the charging cloud platform, so that the charging cloud platform transparently transmits the pre-processed image to the vehicle cloud platform.

[0101] In the above technical solution, when the current image of the target vehicle captured by the target camera indicates that the target vehicle is parked in an automatic charging space, it can be used to indicate that the target vehicle needs to charge. Therefore, the target camera can send an automatic charging request for the target vehicle to the charging cloud platform, achieving decoupling between the vehicle and the charging cloud platform. This allows the charging cloud platform to respond to the charging needs of any vehicle, eliminating the limitation of the charging cloud platform to responding to the charging needs of specific brands or models. This makes charging of the target vehicle more convenient, thereby improving the user experience.

[0102] Further, the vehicle cloud platform can obtain target information of the target vehicle upon receiving the automatic charging request of the target vehicle.

[0103] The target information can include, but is not limited to, model information of the target vehicle, identification information of the target vehicle, and parking space information of a parking space where the target vehicle is located (which can be referred to as "target parking space information"). The identification information of the target vehicle can include, but is not limited to, a license plate number of the target vehicle and a vehicle identification number (VIN) of the target vehicle. The model information can include, but is not limited to, an image of a charging port of the target vehicle (which can be referred to as a "preset image") and a height and a width of the target vehicle.

[0104] In a possible implementation, the obtaining of the target information of the target vehicle includes: obtaining the target information from a target terminal of a user corresponding to the target vehicle; or obtaining the target information from storage information of the vehicle cloud platform.

[0105] For example, when the vehicle cloud platform is communicatively connected with a user terminal of a user corresponding to the target vehicle (which can be referred to as a "target user"), the target user can set the target information of the target vehicle on the target terminal. When the target terminal determines that the target user has completed the setting, the target terminal can upload the target information of the target vehicle to the vehicle cloud platform.

[0106] For example, when the vehicle cloud platform obtains the target information of the target vehicle, the vehicle cloud platform can also obtain the target information of the target vehicle from storage information pre-stored by the vehicle cloud platform by using the identification information (for example, the license plate number) of the target vehicle. The storage information can include, but is not limited to, target information of the target vehicle and target information of a non-target vehicle. By setting the vehicle cloud platform, a model database of different models can be stored in the vehicle cloud platform to adapt to automatic charging control of different models, thereby greatly reducing the data burden of the charging cloud platform. Meanwhile, the vehicle cloud platform can facilitate the operation and update of the model database by the vehicle manufacturer, so that the model is updated and iterated, the change to the entire automatic charging cloud platform is reduced, and the update difficulty of the automatic charging cloud platform is reduced.

[0107] The license plate number of the target vehicle can be recognized by the vehicle cloud platform from a current image of the target vehicle transmitted through the charging cloud platform. The target user can represent a user who owns the target vehicle or a user who has the right to use the target vehicle.

[0108] The vehicle cloud platform can obtain the target information of the target vehicle from a target terminal of a user corresponding to the target vehicle, or obtain the target information of the target vehicle from storage information of the vehicle cloud platform. Since the target information of the target vehicle is obtained in the charging cloud platform, the data transmission amount of the charging cloud platform is reduced, the problem of signal delay of the charging cloud platform due to too much data transmission is avoided, and the delay of automatic charging of the vehicle is avoided. Therefore, during the automatic charging of the vehicle, the normal charging of the vehicle can be ensured.

[0109] In S420, whether to automatically charge the target vehicle is determined based on the target information.

[0110] For example, when the vehicle cloud platform obtains the target information of the target vehicle, whether to automatically charge the target vehicle can be determined based on the target information.

[0111] Optionally, when the vehicle cloud platform receives the target information sent by the target vehicle, the identification information of the target vehicle and / or the target parking space information can be determined based on the target information. When the identification information of the target vehicle and / or the target parking space information is obtained, whether to automatically charge the target vehicle can be determined based on the identification information of the target vehicle and / or the target parking space information.

[0112] The above technical solution determines whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the identification information of the target vehicle and / or the target parking space information, so that the user does not need to perform related operations, the charging cloud platform can determine whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the identification information of the target vehicle and / or the target parking space information, and the user's operation during the charging of the vehicle is reduced, and the convenience of the charging of the vehicle is improved.

[0113] Example 1: Whether to automatically charge the target vehicle is determined based on the charging mode configuration information of the target vehicle.

[0114] For example, the above determining whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the target information includes: determining the charging mode configuration information of the target vehicle based on the identification information of the target vehicle; wherein the charging mode configuration information includes an automatic charging mode and / or a manual charging mode; and determining whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the charging mode configuration information.

[0115] Optionally, the charging mode configuration information can include only the automatic charging mode, or only the manual charging mode; of course, the charging mode configuration information can include the automatic charging mode and the manual charging mode.

[0116] Exemplarily, the charging mode configuration information may be the charging mode selected by the user when registering an account on the target terminal; for example, the user registers an account on the target terminal, enters the license plate number and VIN number (vehicle identification information), and selects the charging mode as automatic charging mode and / or manual charging mode (charging mode configuration information), so that the vehicle cloud platform can determine whether the charging mode configuration information of the target vehicle includes automatic charging mode through the identification information of the target vehicle.

[0117] Furthermore, when the vehicle cloud platform determines that the target vehicle's charging mode configuration information includes an automatic charging mode, it indicates that the charging mode selected by the user on the target terminal includes an automatic charging mode and there is a demand for automatic charging. Therefore, the vehicle cloud platform can determine to automatically charge the target vehicle. Alternatively, when the vehicle cloud platform determines that the target vehicle's charging mode configuration information does not include an automatic charging mode, it indicates that the charging mode selected by the user on the target terminal is only a manual charging mode and there is no demand for automatic charging. Therefore, the vehicle cloud platform can determine not to automatically charge the target vehicle.

[0118] In addition, if the charging mode configuration information does not include an automatic charging mode, the vehicle cloud platform can also output an inquiry message to the user through the target terminal, and determine whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the user's reply to the inquiry message. If the user's reply to the inquiry message indicates automatic charging, the vehicle cloud platform can determine to automatically charge the target vehicle. If the user's reply to the inquiry message does not indicate automatic charging, the vehicle cloud platform can determine not to automatically charge the target vehicle.

[0119] Optionally, the target terminal may be a charging application (eg, a mobile phone APP) or a charging applet, which is not specifically limited here.

[0120] With the above technical solution, the vehicle cloud platform can determine the target vehicle's charging mode configuration information based on the target vehicle's identification information, and based on the target vehicle's charging mode configuration information, determine whether to automatically charge the target vehicle. Since the charging mode configuration information can include an automatic charging mode and / or a manual charging mode, the target vehicle's charging mode configuration information is determined based on the target vehicle's identification information, and then the determination of whether to automatically charge the target vehicle is based on this charging mode configuration information. This process eliminates the need for user intervention, thereby improving the convenience of automatic vehicle charging.

[0121] Example 2: Determine whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the target vehicle's charging mode configuration information and charging whitelist.

[0122] Exemplarily, obtaining a charging whitelist; and determining whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the charging mode configuration information, includes: determining whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the charging mode configuration information and the charging whitelist.

[0123] Optionally, the charging whitelist can be stored in the vehicle cloud platform; or the vehicle cloud platform can obtain the charging whitelist from the target terminal. The method for obtaining the charging whitelist can be determined according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited here.

[0124] Exemplarily, the charging whitelist includes vehicle identification information of vehicles that are allowed to be automatically charged; the charging whitelist includes vehicle models and vehicle identification information of vehicles that are allowed to be automatically charged; no specific limitation is made here.

[0125] Exemplarily, when the vehicle cloud platform obtains the charging mode configuration information and the charging whitelist of the target vehicle, it can determine whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the charging mode configuration information and the charging whitelist of the target vehicle.

[0126] With this technical solution, once the vehicle cloud platform obtains the charging whitelist, it can determine whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the target vehicle's charging mode configuration information and the charging whitelist. This multi-dimensional determination based on the charging mode configuration information and the charging whitelist avoids errors in single-dimensional data determinations, improves the accuracy of the automatic charging determination for the target vehicle, and further ensures normal charging of the vehicle.

[0127] Optionally, the above-mentioned determination of whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the charging mode configuration information and the charging whitelist includes: when the charging mode configuration information includes the automatic charging mode and the charging whitelist includes the identification information of the target vehicle, determining that the target vehicle is automatically charged; when the charging whitelist does not include the identification information of the target vehicle, and / or the charging mode configuration information does not include the automatic charging mode, determining not to automatically charge the target vehicle.

[0128] For example, when the vehicle cloud platform determines whether to automatically charge the target vehicle through the charging mode configuration information and the charging whitelist of the target vehicle, it can determine whether the charging mode configuration information includes an automatic charging mode and whether the charging whitelist includes the identification information of the target vehicle.

[0129] If the charging mode configuration information includes the automatic charging mode and the target vehicle's identification information is included in the charging whitelist, it can be indicated that the target vehicle has automatic charging requirements and is authorized for automatic charging. Therefore, the vehicle cloud platform can determine to automatically charge the target vehicle.

[0130] Alternatively, when the automatic charging mode is not included in the charging mode configuration information and / or the identification information of the target vehicle is not included in the charging white list, it can be indicated that the target vehicle does not have the automatic charging demand and / or the target vehicle does not belong to the authorized vehicle for automatic charging. Therefore, the vehicle cloud platform can determine not to automatically charge the target vehicle.

[0131] For example, when the automatic charging mode is included in the charging mode configuration information and the identification information of the target vehicle is not included in the charging white list, the vehicle cloud platform can determine not to automatically charge the target vehicle.

[0132] For another example, when the automatic charging mode is not included in the charging mode configuration information and the identification information of the target vehicle is included in the charging white list, the vehicle cloud platform can also determine not to automatically charge the target vehicle.

[0133] For another example, when the automatic charging mode is not included in the charging mode configuration information and the identification information of the target vehicle is included in the charging white list, the vehicle cloud platform can also determine not to automatically charge the target vehicle.

[0134] Alternatively, when the automatic charging mode is not included in the charging mode configuration information and / or the identification information of the target vehicle is not included in the charging white list, the vehicle cloud platform can also output inquiry information to the user through the target terminal, determine whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the reply information of the user to the inquiry information, determine to automatically charge the target vehicle if the reply information of the user to the inquiry information indicates automatic charging, and determine not to automatically charge the target vehicle if the reply information of the user to the inquiry information does not indicate automatic charging.

[0135] The above technical solution can indicate that the target vehicle has the automatic charging demand when the automatic charging mode is included in the charging mode configuration information and the identification information of the target vehicle is included in the charging white list. Therefore, the vehicle cloud platform can determine to automatically charge the target vehicle. Alternatively, when the automatic charging mode is not included in the charging mode configuration information and / or the identification information of the target vehicle is not included in the charging white list, it can be indicated that the target vehicle does not have the automatic charging demand. Therefore, the vehicle cloud platform can determine not to automatically charge the target vehicle; thereby determining to automatically charge the target vehicle only when the automatic charging mode is included in the charging mode configuration information and the identification information of the target vehicle is included in the charging white list, which can ensure the accuracy of automatically charging the target vehicle, thereby improving the user experience.

[0136] In the above implementation, whether to automatically charge the target vehicle can be determined based on the target vehicle's charging mode configuration information, or based on the target vehicle's charging mode configuration information and a charging whitelist. In addition to the above methods, whether to automatically charge the target vehicle can also be determined based on the target parking space information, or based on the target parking space information, the target vehicle's identification information, and a charging whitelist. This is specifically illustrated below using Examples 3 and 4.

[0137] Example 3: Determine whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the target parking space information where the target vehicle is located.

[0138] Exemplarily, the target parking space information where the target vehicle is located is obtained, and it is determined whether the target parking space information where the target vehicle is located is an automatic charging parking space. If the target parking space information where the target vehicle is located is an automatic charging parking space, it is determined that the target vehicle is automatically charged; if the target parking space information where the target vehicle is located is not an automatic charging parking space, it is determined that the target vehicle is not automatically charged.

[0139] For example, assume that parking spaces 1 through 20 are automatic charging spaces, and parking spaces 21 through 50 are non-automatic charging spaces. The target parking space information for the target vehicle is obtained as parking space 10, and the target parking space is determined to be an automatic charging space, and the target vehicle is automatically charged. Alternatively, the target parking space information for the target vehicle is obtained as parking space 21, and the target parking space is determined to be a non-automatic charging space, and the target vehicle is not automatically charged.

[0140] Example 4: Determine whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the target parking space information, the target vehicle's identification information, and the charging whitelist.

[0141] Exemplarily, the target parking space information and the charging whitelist of the target vehicle are obtained, and based on the target parking space information, the identification information of the target vehicle and the charging whitelist, it is determined whether to automatically charge the target vehicle.

[0142] The above technical solution determines whether to automatically charge the target vehicle through the target parking space information of the target vehicle and the charging whitelist; thereby determining the user's current intention through the target parking space information of the target vehicle, and combining the user's current intention with the charging whitelist to determine whether to automatically charge the target vehicle, which can improve the accuracy of determining whether to automatically charge the target vehicle.

[0143] For example, it is determined whether the target parking space information of the target vehicle is an automatic charging parking space, and whether the charging white list includes the identification information of the target vehicle. If the target parking space information is an automatic charging parking space, and the charging white list includes the identification information of the target vehicle, it is determined to automatically charge the target vehicle. If the charging white list does not include the identification information of the target vehicle, and / or the target parking space information is not an automatic charging parking space, it is determined not to automatically charge the target vehicle.

[0144] The above technical solution determines to automatically charge the target vehicle if the target parking space information is an automatic charging parking space and the charging white list includes the identification information of the target vehicle. If the charging white list does not include the identification information of the target vehicle, and / or the target parking space information is not an automatic charging parking space, it is determined not to automatically charge the target vehicle. Thus, the current intention of the user is determined through the target parking space information, and the current intention of the user is combined with the charging white list to determine to automatically charge the target vehicle, thereby ensuring the accuracy of automatically charging the target vehicle without the intervention of the user.

[0145] In a possible implementation manner, the above determining the target parking space information of the current parking space of the target vehicle includes: receiving the current image sent by the charging cloud platform; and determining the target parking space information based on the current image.

[0146] For example, when the auxiliary cloud platform sends the current image of the target vehicle to the charging cloud platform, the charging cloud platform can transmit the current image of the target vehicle to the vehicle cloud platform. When the vehicle cloud platform receives the current image of the target vehicle sent by the charging cloud platform, the vehicle cloud platform can identify the current image of the target vehicle to obtain the target parking space information of the target vehicle.

[0147] Optionally, when the vehicle cloud platform and the auxiliary cloud platform are in communication connection, the auxiliary cloud platform can also directly send the current image of the target vehicle to the vehicle cloud platform, thereby shortening the communication link and improving the identification efficiency of the vehicle cloud platform on the current image of the target vehicle.

[0148] Optionally, when the auxiliary cloud platform receives the current image of the target vehicle collected by the target camera, the auxiliary cloud platform can pre-process the current image to obtain a pre-processed image. Then, the auxiliary cloud platform sends the pre-processed image to the vehicle cloud platform, so that the vehicle cloud platform identifies the pre-processed image.

[0149] The above technical solution can determine more accurate target parking space information of the target vehicle through the current image of the target vehicle when the vehicle cloud platform receives the current information of the target vehicle sent by the charging cloud platform, thereby further ensuring the normal charging of the vehicle.

[0150] S430, in a case where it is determined to automatically charge the target vehicle, sending automatic charging indication information of the target vehicle to the charging cloud platform to instruct the charging cloud platform to control the charging equipment to automatically charge the target vehicle through the target cloud platform.

[0151] The charging equipment can include, but is not limited to, a mechanical arm, a charging pile, and a charging gun. The cloud platform corresponding to the mechanical arm (i.e., the mechanical arm cloud platform) and / or the cloud platform corresponding to the charging pile (i.e., the charging pile cloud platform) can be collectively referred to as a "target cloud platform". It should be understood that the target cloud platform is neither the vehicle cloud platform nor the charging cloud platform.

[0152] For example, when the vehicle cloud platform determines to automatically charge the target vehicle, it can send the automatic charging indication information of the target vehicle to the charging cloud platform. When the charging cloud platform receives the automatic charging indication information, it can control the mechanical arm, the charging pile, and the charging gun to charge the target vehicle through the target cloud platform in response to the automatic charging indication information.

[0153] In the method 400 as shown in Figure 4 When the vehicle cloud platform receives the automatic charging request of the target vehicle, it can obtain target information of the target vehicle and determine whether to automatically charge the target vehicle through the target information. In a case where it is determined to automatically charge the target vehicle, the vehicle cloud platform can send automatic charging indication information of the target vehicle to the charging cloud platform to instruct the charging cloud platform to control the charging equipment to automatically charge the target vehicle through the target cloud platform. Compared with setting the process of obtaining the target information of the target vehicle and determining whether to automatically charge the target vehicle through the target information in the charging cloud platform, the present application sets the process in the vehicle cloud platform, thereby reducing the data processing amount and the data transmission amount of the charging cloud platform, avoiding the problem of signal delay of the charging cloud platform due to too much data transmission and data processing tasks, avoiding the delay of vehicle automatic charging, and ensuring the normal charging of the vehicle in the vehicle automatic charging process. In addition, by setting the vehicle cloud platform, the vehicle model database of different vehicle models can be stored in the vehicle cloud platform to adapt to the automatic charging control of different vehicle models, greatly reducing the data burden of the charging cloud platform. At the same time, the vehicle cloud platform can facilitate the operation and update of the vehicle model database by the vehicle manufacturer, so that the vehicle model is updated and iterated, the change to the charging cloud platform is reduced, the update difficulty of the automatic charging cloud platform is reduced, and the normal charging of the vehicle is further ensured.

[0154] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, when the vehicle cloud platform is in communication connection with the target terminal (for example, a mobile phone APP), the target terminal can receive and store vehicle information of the same vehicle brand as the vehicle cloud platform or vehicle information of a different vehicle brand from the vehicle cloud platform, that is, a vehicle brand of another brand. Wherein, the brand can represent the vehicle model brand. For example, when the vehicle brand is the same as the vehicle cloud platform, the target terminal can directly receive the vehicle information of the vehicle brand and store the received vehicle information of the vehicle brand, so as to transmit the vehicle information of the vehicle brand to the vehicle cloud platform through the target terminal when the vehicle cloud platform is in communication connection with the target terminal. For another example, when the vehicle brand is different from the vehicle cloud platform, the target terminal can directly or indirectly receive the vehicle information of the vehicle brand. Specifically, when the vehicle brand is different from the vehicle cloud platform, the target terminal can directly receive the vehicle information of the vehicle brand and store the received vehicle information of the vehicle brand, so as to transmit the vehicle information of the vehicle brand to the vehicle cloud platform through the target terminal when the vehicle cloud platform is in communication connection with the target terminal, that is, the target terminal can directly realize the acquisition of cross-brand vehicle information. Or, when the vehicle brand is different from the vehicle cloud platform, the target terminal needs to communicate with the terminal corresponding to the vehicle brand to first acquire the vehicle information of the vehicle brand from the terminal corresponding to the vehicle brand, and then store the acquired vehicle information of the vehicle brand, so as to transmit the vehicle information of the vehicle brand to the vehicle cloud platform through the target terminal when the vehicle cloud platform is in communication connection with the target terminal. Assuming that the vehicle cloud platform is connected with a mobile phone APP1, and the vehicle cloud platform is of A brand. When the vehicle brand is also of A brand, the mobile phone APP1 can directly receive the vehicle information of A brand and store the vehicle information of A brand. Or, when the vehicle brand is of B brand, the mobile phone APP1 can also directly receive the vehicle information of B brand and store the vehicle information of B brand. Or, when the vehicle brand is of B brand, the mobile phone APP1 cannot directly receive the vehicle information of B brand, but needs to communicate with the mobile phone APP2 corresponding to B brand, and the mobile phone APP1 acquires the vehicle information of B brand from the mobile phone APP2 through the communication with the mobile phone APP2, and then stores the vehicle information of B brand.

[0155] Optionally, target parking space information of a current parking space where the target vehicle is located is determined; based on the target parking space information, a charging gun corresponding to the current parking space is determined; and the charging gun corresponding to the current parking space is determined as the target charging gun.

[0156] For example, when the vehicle cloud platform determines the target parking space information of the target vehicle, the vehicle cloud platform can determine the charging gun corresponding to the current parking space where the target vehicle is located based on the target parking space information, and determine the charging gun as the charging gun (which can be referred to as a "target charging gun") that can charge the target vehicle.

[0157] The vehicle cloud platform can determine the correspondence between the parking space and the charging gun from the pre-stored preset parking space relationship. When the vehicle cloud platform determines the parking space, the vehicle cloud platform can determine the charging gun corresponding to the parking space through the preset parking space relationship and the parking space. In addition, the charging guns corresponding to different parking spaces can be the same charging gun or different charging guns.

[0158] Reference Figure 2 Since there is a preset parking space relationship between the parking space 1 and the charging pile 1, and the charging pile 1 is connected with the charging gun 1 and the charging gun 3, there can be a preset parking space relationship between the parking space 1 and the charging gun 1 and the charging gun 3. In addition, since there is a preset parking space relationship between the parking space 2 and the charging pile 2, and the charging pile 2 is connected with the charging gun 2, there can be a preset parking space relationship between the parking space 2 and the charging gun 2.

[0159] Suppose the vehicle cloud platform determines that the vehicle 1 is currently in the parking space 1 through the target parking space information of the vehicle 1 (i.e., the target vehicle), and determines the charging gun 1 and the charging gun 3 as the target charging guns that can charge the vehicle 1 through the preset parking space relationship between the parking space 1 and the charging gun 1 and the charging gun 3.

[0160] The above technical solution determines the charging gun corresponding to the current parking space of the target vehicle through the target parking space information of the current parking space where the target vehicle is located, and determines the charging gun corresponding to the current parking space as the target charging gun for automatically charging the target vehicle. Since the parking space is configured with a corresponding charging gun, the target charging gun corresponding to the target vehicle can be determined through the target parking space information of the current parking space where the target vehicle is located, thereby improving the accuracy of the determined target charging gun and further ensuring the normal charging of the vehicle.

[0161] In a possible implementation, the target moving path of the mechanical arm is determined based on the vehicle model information of the target vehicle. The above sending, to the charging cloud platform, the automatic charging indication information of the target vehicle to instruct the charging cloud platform to control the charging equipment through the target cloud platform to automatically charge the target vehicle includes: sending, to the charging cloud platform, the automatic charging indication information and the target moving path to instruct the charging cloud platform to control the mechanical arm to move the target charging gun at the target moving path to automatically charge the target vehicle.

[0162] For example, the vehicle cloud platform can determine the moving path (which may be referred to as the "target moving path") for the robotic arm to connect the target charging gun to the charging port of the target vehicle based on the model information of the target vehicle.

[0163] Optionally, a target mapping relationship is obtained; wherein the target mapping relationship is used to represent the mapping relationship between vehicle model information and the moving path; the above-mentioned determination of the target moving path of the robotic arm based on the vehicle model information of the target vehicle includes: determining the target moving path corresponding to the vehicle model information of the target vehicle based on the vehicle model information of the target vehicle and the target mapping relationship.

[0164] For example, in order to facilitate the acquisition of the target movement path of the robotic arm corresponding to different vehicle models, a mapping relationship between different vehicle model information and the movement path of the robotic arm (which may be called a "target mapping relationship") can be pre-constructed in the vehicle cloud platform.

[0165] When determining the target moving path of the robotic arm corresponding to the target vehicle, the vehicle cloud platform can obtain the above-mentioned target mapping relationship from itself to determine the target moving path corresponding to the model information of the target vehicle in the target mapping relationship.

[0166] The target moving paths corresponding to different vehicle model information may be different or the same, which is not limited here.

[0167] It should be understood that the target mapping relationship can be obtained through actual vehicle calibration or through model prediction, which is not limited here.

[0168] In the above technical solution, when determining the target moving path corresponding to the target vehicle's model information, the vehicle cloud platform can obtain a pre-set mapping relationship between the model information and the moving path, and determine the target moving path corresponding to the target vehicle's model information through this mapping relationship and the target vehicle's model information. Since the mapping relationship is pre-set on the vehicle cloud platform, when the target vehicle's model information is updated or the model information of a new vehicle is added, the mapping relationship can be easily updated, making the mapping relationship more accurate. Therefore, the target moving path corresponding to the target vehicle's model information can be determined more accurately through the more accurate mapping relationship and the target vehicle's model information, further ensuring the normal charging of the vehicle.

[0169] Optionally, the current position of the charging port is determined; the above-mentioned determination of the target moving path corresponding to the target vehicle's model information based on the target vehicle's model information and the target mapping relationship includes: determining a preset moving path corresponding to the target vehicle's model information based on the target vehicle's model information and the target mapping relationship; adjusting the preset moving path based on the current position to obtain the target moving path.

[0170] For example, when determining the target moving path of the robotic arm corresponding to the target vehicle, the vehicle cloud platform can retrieve a pre-built target mapping relationship to determine the preset moving path corresponding to the target vehicle's vehicle model information in the target mapping relationship.

[0171] Furthermore, the vehicle cloud platform can determine the current position of the charging port of the target vehicle, and adjust the preset moving path according to the current position, and determine the adjusted preset moving path as the above-mentioned target moving path.

[0172] The current location of the charging port of the target vehicle may be affected by the vehicle model information and the parking location of the target vehicle.

[0173] Optionally, the charging port location may be different for different vehicle models. Figure 2 Assuming that vehicle 1 and vehicle 2 have different model information, the charging port locations of vehicle 1 and vehicle 2 can be different. For example, the charging port of vehicle 1 is located directly in front of vehicle 1 at a height of 0.8 meters. The charging port of vehicle 2 is located directly behind vehicle 2 at a height of 0.6 meters.

[0174] In addition, the distance between the front, back, left, and right sides of the target vehicle's parking position and the parking space line will also affect the target movement path of the robot arm. Figure 2 Assuming that vehicle 1 and vehicle 2 have the same model information, that is, vehicle 1 and vehicle 2 are the same model, and the distance between vehicle 1 and the rear parking space line is greater than the distance between vehicle 2 and the rear parking space line, the longitudinal moving distance of the target moving path corresponding to vehicle 1 is greater than the longitudinal moving distance of the target moving path corresponding to vehicle 2.

[0175] In order for the robotic arm to insert the target charging gun into the charging port of vehicle 1 and vehicle 2, the vehicle cloud platform can obtain the current position of the charging port corresponding to vehicle 1 and vehicle 2 through the distance between the front, back, left, right and parking spaces of vehicle 1 and vehicle 2 and their respective vehicle model information when determining the preset moving paths corresponding to vehicle 1 and vehicle 2, and fine-tune the preset moving paths based on the current position of the charging port.

[0176] In the above technical solution, the vehicle cloud platform can first determine the preset moving path corresponding to the target vehicle's model information through a pre-set mapping relationship and the target vehicle's model information, and then adjust the preset moving path according to the current position of the target vehicle's charging port, and determine the adjusted preset moving path as the target moving path corresponding to the target vehicle. In this process, the target vehicle's model information and the current position of the target vehicle's charging port are taken into account, thereby improving the accuracy of the target moving path and further ensuring the normal charging of the vehicle.

[0177] Optionally, the above-mentioned determination of the current position of the charging port includes: receiving a current image sent by the accessory cloud platform; and determining the current position of the charging port based on the current image and vehicle model information of the target vehicle.

[0178] Although the target vehicle's charging port is fixed on the vehicle, the distance between the front, rear, left, and right sides of the target vehicle's parking space and the parking space lines will also affect the current location of the target vehicle's charging port; that is, the current location of the target vehicle's charging port may be affected by the target vehicle's model information and parking position. Therefore, when the vehicle cloud platform receives the current image of the target vehicle sent by the accessory cloud platform via the charging cloud platform, it can use this current image and the target vehicle's model information to jointly determine the current location of the charging port relative to the target vehicle's current parking space.

[0179] Optionally, the charging port location may be different for different vehicle models. Figure 2 Assuming that vehicle 1 and vehicle 2 have different model information, the charging port locations of vehicle 1 and vehicle 2 can be different. For example, the charging port of vehicle 1 is located directly in front of vehicle 1 at a height of 0.8 meters. The charging port of vehicle 2 is located directly behind vehicle 2 at a height of 0.6 meters.

[0180] Alternatively, if the vehicle model information is not available, the current location of the target vehicle's charging port can be determined by recognizing the current image of the target vehicle when it is parked. However, directly recognizing the current location of the target vehicle's charging port through the current image of the target vehicle when it is parked takes a long time to process, which may cause delays in automatic charging.

[0181] In the above technical solution, the vehicle cloud platform determines the current position of the charging port of the target vehicle through the image of the target vehicle and the model information of the target vehicle. When the target vehicle is parked with a deviation, the accuracy of the current position of the charging port of the target vehicle is improved. On the basis of more accurate current position of the charging port of the target vehicle, the accuracy of the target moving path is improved, further ensuring the normal charging of the vehicle.

[0182] Exemplarily, when the target moving path of the robotic arm is determined, the vehicle cloud platform can send automatic charging indication information and the target moving path to the charging cloud platform, so that when the charging platform receives the automatic charging indication information and the target moving path, it can respond to the automatic charging indication information, and control the robotic arm through the robotic arm cloud platform to move along the target moving path to grab the target charging gun corresponding to the target vehicle, so as to insert the target charging gun into the charging port of the target vehicle, so that the charging port of the target vehicle is connected to the target charging gun; at the same time, the charging pile corresponding to the target charging gun is started to automatically charge the target vehicle.

[0183] It should be understood that each time the robotic arm inserts the target charging gun into the charging port of the target vehicle, it will return to the default position, so that the movement path of the robotic arm to grab the target charging gun is the same each time.

[0184] In this technical solution, the vehicle cloud platform, after determining the target movement path of the robotic arm based on the target vehicle's model information, sends automatic charging instructions and this target movement path to the charging cloud platform. The charging cloud platform, through the robotic arm cloud platform, controls the robotic arm to move the target charging gun along the target movement path, automatically charging the target vehicle. Because the robotic arm's movement path matches the target vehicle's model information, the target charging gun is ensured to be accurately inserted into the target vehicle's charging port, further ensuring proper charging of the vehicle.

[0185] Figure 5 This is a flow chart of another vehicle charging method provided by the embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 or Figure 3 The charging cloud platform is executed.

[0186] For example, Figure 5 As shown, the method 500 includes S510-S530:

[0187] S510 , when an automatic charging request of a target vehicle is received, the automatic charging request is sent to the vehicle cloud platform, so that the vehicle cloud platform obtains target information of the target vehicle when the automatic charging request is received.

[0188] For example, when the battery level of a vehicle to be charged (which may be referred to as a "target vehicle") is too low and there is a need for charging, the driver may drive the target vehicle to an automatic charging parking space to charge the target vehicle.

[0189] Optionally, the above-mentioned sending of the automatic charging request to the vehicle cloud platform upon receiving the automatic charging request of the target vehicle includes: receiving the automatic charging request sent by the auxiliary cloud platform when the target vehicle meets the automatic charging conditions; wherein the automatic charging conditions include the current image of the target vehicle captured by the target camera indicating that the target vehicle is parked in the automatic charging parking space; and sending the automatic charging request to the vehicle cloud platform upon receiving the automatic charging request.

[0190] For example, when the target vehicle stops at an automatic charging parking space (such as Figure 2When the target vehicle is in parking space 1 or parking space 2, it indicates that the target vehicle has a charging demand. The target camera corresponding to parking space 1 or parking space 2 (that is, the above-mentioned target camera) can automatically capture the current image of the target vehicle, and upload the captured current image of the target vehicle to the auxiliary cloud platform, so as to send an automatic charging request to the charging cloud platform through the auxiliary cloud platform (that is, the automatic charging request is triggered by the target camera). When the charging cloud platform receives the automatic charging request, it can transmit the automatic charging request to the vehicle cloud platform, so that the vehicle cloud platform receives the automatic charging request of the target vehicle.

[0191] Furthermore, when the vehicle cloud platform receives an automatic charging request from a target vehicle, it can obtain target information of the target vehicle.

[0192] In this technical solution, when the current image of the target vehicle captured by the target camera indicates that the target vehicle is parked in an automatic charging space, it indicates that the target vehicle requires charging. Therefore, the auxiliary cloud platform corresponding to the target camera can send an automatic charging request for the target vehicle to the charging cloud platform. This decouples the vehicle from the charging cloud platform, allowing the charging cloud platform to respond to the charging needs of any vehicle, rather than being limited to specific brands or models. This makes charging for the target vehicle more convenient, thereby improving the user experience.

[0193] For example, upon obtaining target information of a target vehicle, the vehicle cloud platform may determine whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the target information. When the vehicle cloud platform determines to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the target information of the target vehicle, it may send automatic charging instruction information for the target vehicle to the charging cloud platform.

[0194] S520, receiving automatic charging instruction information of the target vehicle sent by the vehicle cloud platform.

[0195] Among them, the automatic charging instruction information is sent by the vehicle cloud platform when it determines to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the target information.

[0196] For example, when the vehicle cloud platform determines to automatically charge the target vehicle, it can send automatic charging instruction information of the target vehicle to the charging cloud platform, so that the charging cloud platform can receive the automatic charging instruction information of the target vehicle sent by the vehicle cloud platform.

[0197] S530: In response to the automatic charging instruction information, an automatic charging instruction is sent to the target cloud platform, so that the target cloud platform controls the charging device to automatically charge the target vehicle.

[0198] The charging equipment may include, but is not limited to, a robotic arm, a charging pile, and a charging gun. Furthermore, the cloud platform corresponding to the robotic arm (i.e., the aforementioned robotic arm cloud platform) and / or the cloud platform corresponding to the charging pile (i.e., the aforementioned charging pile cloud platform) may be collectively referred to as the "target cloud platform." It should be understood that the target cloud platform is not the vehicle cloud platform or the charging cloud platform.

[0199] For example, when the charging cloud platform receives the automatic charging instruction information of the target vehicle sent by the vehicle cloud platform, it can send an automatic charging instruction to the target cloud platform. When the target cloud platform receives the automatic charging instruction, it can respond to the automatic charging instruction and control the robotic arm, charging pile and charging gun to charge the target vehicle.

[0200] It should be noted that Figure 5 All steps in Figure 4 The corresponding embodiments are described in detail in the accompanying drawings and will not be repeated here.

[0201] In such Figure 5 In the illustrated method 500, upon receiving an automatic charging request from a target vehicle, the charging cloud platform may transmit the automatic charging request to the vehicle cloud platform. Upon receiving the automatic charging request from the target vehicle, the vehicle cloud platform may obtain the target vehicle's target information and determine whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the target information. Furthermore, if the vehicle cloud platform determines to automatically charge the target vehicle, it may receive automatic charging instruction information from the target vehicle sent by the vehicle cloud platform and, in response to the automatic charging instruction information, transmit an automatic charging instruction to the target cloud platform, causing the target cloud platform to control the charging device to automatically charge the target vehicle. Compared to placing the process of obtaining the target vehicle's target information and determining whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the target information within the charging cloud platform, the present application places the process of obtaining the target vehicle's target information and determining whether to automatically charge the target vehicle based on the target information within the vehicle cloud platform. This reduces the amount of data processing and data transmission for the charging cloud platform, minimizes signal delays caused by the charging cloud platform carrying too many data transmission and processing tasks, and avoids delays in automatic charging of the vehicle, thereby ensuring normal charging of the vehicle during the automatic charging process.

[0202] In one possible implementation, the above-mentioned sending of automatic charging instructions to the target cloud platform so that the target cloud platform controls the charging equipment to automatically charge the target vehicle includes: sending a first charging instruction to the robotic arm cloud platform so that the robotic arm cloud platform controls the robotic arm to connect the target charging gun with the charging port of the target vehicle; wherein the first charging instruction includes the identification of the target charging gun; sending a second charging instruction to the charging pile cloud platform so that the charging pile cloud platform controls the charging pile corresponding to the target charging gun to start automatically charging the target vehicle.

[0203] The automatic charging instruction may include a charging instruction for controlling the robot arm (which may be referred to as a "first charging instruction") and a charging instruction for controlling the charging pile (which may be referred to as a "second charging instruction"). In addition, the first charging instruction may include an identifier of the target charging gun, for example, the serial number of the charging gun, such as Figure 2 The charging gun 1 is shown.

[0204] Exemplarily, the charging cloud platform can send a first charging instruction to the robotic arm cloud platform, so that when the robotic arm cloud platform receives the first charging instruction, it can respond to the first charging instruction, control the target charging gun corresponding to the target vehicle grasped by the robotic arm, and insert the target charging gun into the charging port of the target vehicle to connect the charging port of the target vehicle with the target charging gun.

[0205] Furthermore, the charging cloud platform can also send a second charging instruction to the charging pile cloud platform, so that when the charging pile cloud platform receives the second charging instruction, it can respond to the second charging instruction and control the charging pile corresponding to the target charging gun to start, so as to transmit current to the target vehicle through the charging gun, thereby automatically charging the target vehicle.

[0206] refer to Figure 2 When the target charging gun is charging gun 1, the charging pile 1 connected to the charging gun 1 can be determined as the charging pile to be started. When the charging pile cloud platform receives the second charging instruction, it can respond to the second charging instruction and control the charging pile 1 to start.

[0207] The above technical solution sends a first charging instruction to the manipulator cloud platform through the charging cloud platform, and then the manipulator cloud platform responds to the first charging instruction to control the manipulator to connect the target charging gun to the charging port of the target vehicle (i.e., plug it in). The charging cloud platform sends a second charging instruction to the charging pile cloud platform, and then the charging pile cloud platform responds to the second charging instruction to control the charging pile corresponding to the target charging gun to start. Compared with the charging cloud platform directly controlling the manipulator and the charging pile corresponding to the target charging gun, part of the control content (i.e., the control of the manipulator and the charging pile) is distributed to the corresponding manipulator cloud platform and charging pile cloud platform, which reduces the data transmission volume of the charging cloud platform, thereby improving the data processing efficiency of the charging cloud platform. Furthermore, during the automatic charging process of the vehicle, the charging efficiency of the vehicle is improved.

[0208] Optionally, the robotic arm is communicatively connected to the charging pile (also known as "near field communication"). When an abnormality is detected in the first communication link, the cloud platform in the second communication link is determined as the target cloud platform, and the charging device is controlled to automatically charge the target vehicle through the second communication link, the robotic arm and the charging pile. When an abnormality is detected in the second communication link, the cloud platform in the first communication link is determined as the target cloud platform, and the charging device is controlled to automatically charge the target vehicle through the first communication link, the robotic arm and the charging pile. When it is detected that there is no abnormality in both the first communication link and the second communication link, the cloud platform in the first communication link and the cloud platform in the second communication link are determined as the target cloud platform, and the charging device is controlled to automatically charge the target vehicle through the first communication link and the second communication link, respectively.

[0209] Among them, the first communication link is used to represent the communication link between the charging cloud platform, the robotic arm cloud platform and the robotic arm (that is, the above-mentioned communication link 1); the second communication link is used to represent the communication link between the charging cloud platform, the charging pile cloud platform and the charging pile (that is, the above-mentioned communication link 2).

[0210] For example, when the charging cloud platform detects that communication link 1 is abnormal and communication link 2 is normal (i.e., not abnormal), the charging pile cloud platform in communication link 2 can be determined as the above-mentioned target cloud platform, so that the first charging instruction can be transmitted to the robotic arm through communication link 2 and the communication connection between the robotic arm and the charging pile, and the second charging instruction can be transmitted to the charging pile through communication link 2, thereby controlling the robotic arm and the charging pile to charge the target vehicle.

[0211] For example, when the charging cloud platform detects that the communication link 2 is abnormal and the communication link 1 is normal, the robotic arm cloud platform in the communication link 1 can be determined as the above-mentioned target cloud platform, so that the second charging instruction can be transmitted to the charging pile through the communication link 1 and the communication connection between the robotic arm and the charging pile, and the first charging instruction can be transmitted to the robotic arm through the communication link 1, thereby controlling the robotic arm and the charging pile to charge the target vehicle.

[0212] For example, when the charging cloud platform detects that both communication link 1 and communication link 2 are normal, it can determine the robotic arm cloud platform in communication link 1 and the charging pile cloud platform in communication link 2 as the above-mentioned target cloud platforms, so that the first charging instruction can be transmitted to the robotic arm through communication link 1, and the second charging instruction can be transmitted to the charging pile through communication link 2.

[0213] The technical solution above, in the case of abnormal communication link (i.e. the first communication link) between the charging cloud platform, the mechanical arm cloud platform and the mechanical arm, the charging cloud platform can determine the charging pile cloud platform as the target cloud platform, and control the charging equipment to automatically charge the target vehicle through the second communication link, the mechanical arm and the charging pile communication connection; or, in the case of abnormal second communication link, the mechanical arm cloud platform in the first communication link can be determined as the target cloud platform, and the charging equipment is controlled to automatically charge the target vehicle through the first communication link, the mechanical arm and the charging pile communication connection, so that the automatic charging instruction can be successfully transmitted to the mechanical arm and the charging pile, and the automatic charging process will not be interrupted due to the failure of the first communication link or the second communication link, ensuring the normal charging of the vehicle. Or, when the first communication link and the second communication link are not faulty, the cloud platform in the first communication link and the cloud platform in the second communication link can be determined as the target cloud platform, so that the mechanical arm and the charging pile can simultaneously respond to the automatic charging instruction sent by the charging cloud platform, improving the charging efficiency of the vehicle.

[0214] In a possible implementation manner, the charging end information sent by the charging pile is received; and a stop charging instruction is sent to the target cloud platform, so that the target cloud platform controls the charging equipment to stop charging the target vehicle.

[0215] For example, when the target vehicle finishes charging, the charging pile can feed back the charging end information to the charging cloud platform through the charging pile cloud platform, so that the charging cloud platform can send a stop charging instruction to the target cloud platform when receiving the charging end information. The target cloud platform can respond to the stop charging instruction and control the charging equipment to stop charging the target vehicle when receiving the stop charging instruction.

[0216] Optionally, the mechanical arm cloud platform can control the mechanical arm to pull out the target charging gun inserted into the target vehicle charging port when receiving the stop charging instruction, so as to disconnect the target charging gun from the charging port of the target vehicle. And the target charging gun is restored to the default position.

[0217] In addition, the charging pile cloud platform can determine whether there is another charging gun on the charging pile connected with the target charging gun to charge the vehicle when receiving the stop charging instruction. When there is no other charging gun on the charging pile connected with the target charging gun to charge the vehicle, the charging pile can be controlled to be turned off and no current is output. Or, when there is another charging gun on the charging pile connected with the target charging gun to charge the vehicle, the charging gun is maintained to be started to ensure the normal charging of other vehicles.

[0218] Optionally, the charging pile cloud platform can also receive charging data, billing data, etc. sent by the charging pile when receiving the stop charging instruction, and send the received charging data, billing data, etc. to the charging cloud platform. When receiving the charging data, billing data, etc., the charging cloud platform can transmit the charging data, billing data, etc. to the vehicle cloud platform, so that the vehicle cloud platform generates a charging list through the charging data, billing data, etc. and sends the charging list to the target terminal.

[0219] The above technical solution, when the charging cloud platform receives the charging end information sent by the charging pile, can send a stop charging instruction to the target cloud platform to control the charging equipment to stop charging the target vehicle. In this process, the user does not need to perform related operations, and the charging equipment can be controlled by the target cloud platform to stop charging the target vehicle, thereby improving the convenience of vehicle charging.

[0220] Figure 6 is another interactive schematic diagram of a vehicle charging method provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0221] Exemplarily, Figure 6 The communication link 1 and the communication link 2 in the above are both normal.

[0222] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 6 The method 600 includes S601-S645.

[0223] S601, self-checking state information.

[0224] It can be understood that S601-S605 can be executed when the vehicle is detected to be parked in the parking space, or S601-S605 can be executed after each charging list is generated; of course, S601-S605 can be executed at a preset interval, which is not limited here.

[0225] Exemplarily, when the mechanical arm performs self-checking, the self-checking state information can be generated and sent to the mechanical arm cloud platform. The self-checking state information of the mechanical arm can include the usage state of the mechanical arm, the idle state of the mechanical arm, the fault state of the mechanical arm, etc.

[0226] S602, reporting state information.

[0227] Exemplarily, when the mechanical arm cloud platform obtains the self-checking state information of the mechanical arm, the self-checking state information can be reported to the charging cloud platform.

[0228] S603, self-checking state information.

[0229] For example, when the charging pile performs self-test, it can also generate self-test status information and send the self-test status information to the charging pile cloud platform. The status information of the charging pile may include the charging pile usage status, the charging pile idle status, the charging pile fault status, etc.

[0230] S604: Report self-test status information.

[0231] For example, when the charging pile cloud platform obtains the self-test status information of the charging pile, it can report the self-test status information to the charging cloud platform.

[0232] S605: Determine the availability of the robotic arm and the charging pile.

[0233] For example, upon receiving the self-test status information of the robotic arm sent by the robotic arm cloud platform, the charging cloud platform can determine whether the robotic arm is in an idle state and whether the robotic arm has not failed based on the self-test status information of the robotic arm. If it is determined that the robotic arm is in an idle state and the robotic arm has not failed, the charging cloud platform can determine that the robotic arm is available. Alternatively, if it is determined that the robotic arm is in use or that the robotic arm has failed, the charging cloud platform determines that the robotic arm is unavailable.

[0234] For example, upon receiving the self-test status information of the charging pile sent by the charging pile cloud platform, the charging cloud platform can determine whether the charging pile is not faulty based on the self-test status information. If the charging pile is determined to be not faulty, the charging cloud platform can determine that the charging pile is available. Alternatively, if the charging pile is determined to be faulty, the charging cloud platform can determine that the charging pile is unavailable.

[0235] S606, register an account and enter vehicle information.

[0236] It is understandable that S606 to S607 may be synchronized after the target terminal detects that a new account has been registered.

[0237] For example, a user registers an account on a target terminal and enters vehicle information, and uploads the entered vehicle information to the vehicle cloud platform.

[0238] Optionally, the vehicle information includes the vehicle identification, the vehicle charging preference (charging mode configuration information), and the like.

[0239] S607, vehicle owner account database.

[0240] Exemplarily, the vehicle cloud platform generates a database of vehicle owner accounts based on the vehicle information uploaded by the target terminal, and stores the database of vehicle owners in the vehicle cloud platform.

[0241] S608: The target vehicle parks within a preset range of the target parking space.

[0242] Exemplarily, the preset range is used to indicate an area at a preset distance from the target parking space (i.e., the above-mentioned automatic charging parking space); for example, the preset range indicates a circular area with the center point of the target parking space as the midpoint and the preset distance as the radius.

[0243] S609: Capture the current image of the target vehicle.

[0244] For example, when the vehicle to be charged (i.e., the target vehicle) parks within the preset range of the target parking space, it indicates that the target vehicle has a charging demand. The camera corresponding to the target parking space (i.e., the above-mentioned target camera) can capture the current image of the target vehicle and upload the captured current image of the target vehicle to the camera cloud platform (i.e., the above-mentioned auxiliary parts cloud platform).

[0245] S610, identifying the license plate number and parking space number, and issuing a lock-down command.

[0246] For example, the camera cloud platform can determine whether the target vehicle is a new energy vehicle based on the license plate number. If the target vehicle is a new energy vehicle, the camera cloud platform sends a lock-down instruction to the ground lock and sends the license plate number and parking space number to the charging cloud platform.

[0247] For example, the camera cloud platform determines whether the license plate number has 6 digits. If the license plate number has 6 digits, the target vehicle can be determined to be a new energy vehicle. If the license plate number has 5 digits, the target vehicle can be determined to be a gasoline vehicle.

[0248] S611, lock down.

[0249] Exemplarily, when the ground lock receives the lock-down instruction sent by the camera cloud platform, it responds to the lock-down instruction and locks down.

[0250] S612, the target vehicle parks in the target parking space.

[0251] For example, when the ground lock is lowered, the target vehicle can enter the target parking space.

[0252] S613, receiving the license plate number and parking space number, and determining the corresponding status of the robotic arm and the charging pile.

[0253] For example, upon receiving vehicle information from the camera cloud platform, the charging cloud platform can determine the corresponding status of the target charging gun, robotic arm, and charging pile corresponding to the target vehicle. Furthermore, the charging cloud platform can send the received license plate number and parking space number to the vehicle cloud platform.

[0254] S614, receiving the license plate number and parking space number, and determining the corresponding charging preference.

[0255] For example, when the vehicle cloud platform receives the license plate number and parking space number sent by the charging cloud platform, it can determine the charging preference corresponding to the target vehicle according to the license plate number.

[0256] S615: Check whether automatic charging is required. If not, go to S616; if so, go to S617.

[0257] Exemplarily, the vehicle cloud platform may determine whether the charging preference of the target vehicle is automatic charging, that is, whether the charging mode configuration information includes automatic charging, and whether the target vehicle is in a charging whitelist.

[0258] S616, prompts manual charging.

[0259] For example, when the target vehicle's charging preference is manual charging, or the target vehicle is not in the charging whitelist, or the parking space where the target vehicle is currently parked is a non-automatic charging space, a prompt message can be output through the target terminal to prompt the user to manually charge the vehicle.

[0260] S617: Send automatic charging instruction information.

[0261] For example, when the charging preference of the target vehicle is automatic charging, the target vehicle is in the charging whitelist, and the parking space where the target vehicle is currently parked is an automatic charging space, the vehicle cloud platform can determine to automatically charge the target vehicle.

[0262] Furthermore, when the vehicle cloud platform determines to automatically charge the target vehicle, it can send automatic charging instruction information of the target vehicle to the charging cloud platform.

[0263] S618: Receive automatic charging instruction information.

[0264] Exemplarily, the charging cloud platform may receive automatic charging instruction information of a target vehicle sent by the vehicle cloud platform.

[0265] S619: Issue a first charging instruction.

[0266] For example, when the charging cloud platform receives the automatic charging instruction information of the target vehicle sent by the vehicle cloud platform, it can send a first charging instruction to the robotic arm cloud platform.

[0267] S620, issue the gun insertion command.

[0268] For example, when the robotic arm cloud platform receives the first charging instruction sent by the charging cloud platform, it can send a gun insertion instruction to the robotic arm in response to the first charging instruction.

[0269] S621, grab the target charging gun.

[0270] Exemplarily, when the robotic arm receives a gun insertion instruction sent by the robotic arm cloud platform, it responds to the gun insertion instruction and grabs the target charging gun corresponding to the target vehicle.

[0271] S622, the robotic arm inserts the target charging gun into the charging port of the target vehicle.

[0272] Exemplarily, when the robotic arm grabs the target charging gun, it can move to the charging port of the target vehicle according to the corresponding moving path (i.e., the above-mentioned target moving path), and insert the target charging gun into the charging port of the target vehicle to connect the target charging gun to the charging port of the target vehicle.

[0273] S623, send a completion instruction and return to the original position.

[0274] For example, after the robotic arm connects the target charging gun to the charging port, it can send a completion instruction to the robotic arm cloud platform and return to its original position (i.e., the robotic arm returns to the default initial position).

[0275] S624, sending a feedback instruction.

[0276] For example, after determining that the target charging gun is connected to the charging port of the target vehicle, the robotic arm cloud platform can send a feedback instruction to the charging cloud platform so that the charging cloud platform can understand the connection status between the charging port of the target vehicle and the robotic arm.

[0277] S625: Issue a second charging instruction.

[0278] For example, when the charging cloud platform determines to automatically charge the target vehicle, it may send a second charging instruction to the charging pile cloud platform.

[0279] S626: Issue a start command.

[0280] Exemplarily, when the charging pile cloud platform receives the second charging instruction sent by the charging cloud platform, it can respond to the second charging instruction and issue a start instruction to the charging pile connected to the target charging gun.

[0281] S627, start.

[0282] Exemplarily, when the charging pile receives a start-up instruction sent by the charging pile cloud platform, it can respond to the start-up instruction and start.

[0283] S628, stop charging when fully charged.

[0284] For example, when the target vehicle is fully charged, the charging pile can stop charging and send full charge feedback information (referred to as "full charge information") to the charging pile cloud platform.

[0285] S629, sending full information.

[0286] For example, when the charging pile cloud platform receives full charge information from the charging pile, it can feed back the full charge information to the charging cloud platform.

[0287] S630: Receive full charge information and send a stop charging instruction.

[0288] For example, when the charging cloud platform receives full charge information from the charging pile cloud platform, it can send a stop charging instruction to the robotic arm cloud platform and the charging pile cloud platform.

[0289] S631, stop charging.

[0290] For example, when the charging cloud platform receives the full charge information sent by the charging pile cloud platform, it can send a message to terminate charging to the vehicle cloud platform.

[0291] S632, stop charging.

[0292] For example, when the vehicle cloud platform receives the information of terminating charging sent by the charging cloud platform, it can also send a message of terminating charging to the target terminal so that the user can know that the charging of the target vehicle is completed through the target terminal, so as to plan the itinerary of the target vehicle.

[0293] S633: Issue a shutdown command.

[0294] Exemplarily, when the charging pile cloud platform receives a stop charging instruction sent by the charging cloud platform, it may send a shutdown instruction to the charging pile in response to the stop charging instruction.

[0295] S634, closed.

[0296] Exemplarily, when the charging pile receives a shutdown instruction sent by the charging pile cloud platform, it shuts down in response to the shutdown instruction.

[0297] S635, issue the command to draw the gun.
