Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of battery swapping technology, and in particular to a battery swapping guidance method, system and equipment for a battery swapping station. Background Art

[0002] An electric vehicle battery swap station refers to a power station that uses centralized charging stations to centrally store and charge a large number of batteries and provide battery replacement services for electric vehicles. The essence of a battery swap station is to tap into the full life cycle value of power batteries and realize the redistribution of interests between enterprises and consumers. Simply put, electric vehicles do not need to be charged but can directly replace batteries to meet their endurance needs. This method of separating the vehicle and the battery for energy replenishment is called a battery swap station. With the rapid development of new energy vehicles and policy support, the current battery swap station infrastructure has begun to take shape. New energy vehicles replenish energy by directly replacing batteries, which forms an effective scenario complement to the charging mode and jointly promotes the continuous improvement of the penetration rate of new energy vehicles.

[0003] Compared with the charging mode, the battery swap mode can achieve efficient energy replenishment, and it is becoming more and more popular among the user group. More and more users are gradually beginning to use the battery swap mode to replenish the energy of their vehicles, so the battery swap stations are gradually becoming larger. Among them, large-scale battery swap stations are compatible with a variety of vehicle models, and each battery swap station needs to store a variety of battery models to meet the battery swap needs of different models. Generally, different charging compartments will store a variety of different models of batteries, and the battery models stored in each charging compartment are relatively random, and the batteries stored in the same charging compartment generally cannot cover all models. Therefore, after entering the battery swap station, the user cannot quickly find the charging compartment where the battery that matches his car model is located, nor can he obtain important information such as the battery power in the charging compartment. Due to the lack of effective guidance, it is easy for users to find the wrong battery swap station, spend too much time looking for the battery swap station, etc., which affects the user's battery swap experience. Summary of the invention

[0004] The embodiments of the present invention provide a battery swapping guidance method, system and device at a battery swapping station, which are used to solve the following technical problems: in current battery swapping stations, the storage locations of batteries of different models are not fixed, and there is a lack of station route guidance in the battery swapping station, resulting in low efficiency for users to find battery swapping stations.

[0005] The embodiment of the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] On the one hand, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for guiding battery replacement at a battery replacement station, wherein the battery replacement station has multiple battery replacement stations and multiple charging bays, each of the charging bays corresponds to at least one battery replacement station and provides batteries for battery replacement for battery replacement vehicles parked at the battery replacement station. The method includes: identifying a vehicle entering the battery replacement station and determining the vehicle battery model; matching a number of target charging bays with corresponding battery models based on the vehicle battery model; acquiring actual battery replacement data of target battery replacement stations corresponding to the target charging bays; sorting the target battery replacement stations based on the actual battery replacement data of the target battery replacement stations and determining a recommended order of the stations; and guiding the user to the battery replacement station after the user selects the target battery replacement station.

[0007] The present invention provides a method for recommending and guiding battery swap stations for users in battery swap stations, by identifying the user's vehicle model, matching the corresponding battery model, and then matching the corresponding charging compartment and battery swap station for the user according to the battery model, and guiding the user to the battery swap station through a variety of eye-catching and intuitive guidance methods. Not only can it accurately determine the charging compartment where the battery required by the user is located, but it can also guide the user to the corresponding battery swap station quickly, saving the user's time in finding the charging compartment and charging station, avoiding the situation where the user finds the wrong location and takes too long to find the location, and greatly improving the user experience.

[0008] As a further limitation, identifying the vehicle entering the battery swap station and determining the vehicle battery model specifically includes: identifying the vehicle entering the battery swap station and determining the vehicle model of the vehicle; and searching the vehicle battery model corresponding to the vehicle model in the model database.

[0009] In this solution, by identifying the type of vehicle entering the battery swap station and then retrieving the vehicle's battery model through the database, the user does not need to perform any active operation. The user's battery model can be determined as soon as entering the battery swap station, which reduces the operational burden on the user.

[0010] As a further limitation, the vehicle entering the battery swap station is identified and the vehicle battery model is determined, specifically including: obtaining a facial image of the vehicle driver entering the battery swap station, or obtaining a system QR code presented by the driver; identifying the facial image or the system QR code, and determining the driver's user account based on the identification result; based on the user account, searching the system for corresponding vehicle information; based on the vehicle information, searching the model database for the corresponding vehicle battery model.

[0011] This solution uses image recognition to identify the owner's identity, and then searches the registered account for the vehicle model information based on the owner's identity to obtain the corresponding battery model. This fully utilizes the system account registration information and can obtain more accurate vehicle model and battery model with a low error rate.

[0012] The present invention provides a variety of vehicle model identification methods, allowing users to flexibly select an identification method. The battery swap station automatically identifies the battery model of the vehicle without the user having to input or provide the battery model, thereby improving the user experience.

[0013] As a further limitation, according to the vehicle battery model, matching several target charging warehouses with corresponding battery models specifically includes: obtaining the storage battery model in each charging warehouse; matching the vehicle battery model with the storage battery model in each charging warehouse, screening out several charging warehouses with the corresponding battery model, and determining them as target charging warehouses.

[0014] This solution selects the charging compartments that store batteries of the user's vehicle model from among the many battery swap stations in the battery swap station, in preparation for subsequent accurate recommendation of stations.

[0015] As a further limitation, the actual battery replacement data of the target battery replacement stations corresponding to the several target charging warehouses are obtained, specifically including: obtaining the battery power corresponding to the vehicle battery model in each target charging warehouse; obtaining the real-time queue number of the target battery replacement stations corresponding to each target charging warehouse.

[0016] This solution obtains the battery power corresponding to the vehicle battery model in the target charging compartment and the real-time queue number of the target battery replacement station to better provide data support for subsequent station recommendations.

[0017] As a further limitation, the recommended order of the battery swapping stations is determined based on the actual battery swapping data of the several target battery swapping stations, specifically including: if the battery power corresponding to the vehicle battery model in any target charging compartment is less than a first preset threshold value, then the target charging compartment will be eliminated from all target charging compartments; if in any target battery swapping station corresponding to the remaining target charging compartments, the real-time queue number is greater than the second preset threshold value, then the target battery swapping station will be eliminated from all target battery swapping stations; the remaining target battery swapping stations are sorted from small to large according to the real-time queue number to obtain the recommended order of the stations.

[0018] This solution automatically filters out target workstations with insufficient power consumption and too many queues, recommends workstations to users more accurately, and sorts the recommended workstations to provide users with better selection references.

[0019] As a further limitation, after the user selects the target battery swapping station, the user is guided to the battery swapping station, specifically including: displaying the recommended order of the stations according to a preset display method; the preset display method at least includes: battery swapping station guide screen display method, voice broadcast method, APP terminal display method and vehicle central control screen display method; obtaining the final target battery swapping station selected by the user, and guiding the user to the final battery swapping station through a preset guidance method; wherein, the preset guidance method includes at least any one or more of the following methods: voice guidance, screen guidance, ground marking guidance, and light guidance.

[0020] This solution displays the recommended order of workstations to the user through a variety of display methods, so that the user can select the battery swapping workstation, and the user can flexibly select the required battery swapping workstation. After the user selects the battery swapping workstation, the present invention guides the user to the battery swapping workstation through a variety of intuitive guidance methods, which can save the user's time in finding the workstation and the route to the workstation, greatly improving the user experience.

[0021] As a further limitation, after displaying the recommended order of the workstations according to a preset display method, the method further includes: displaying additional battery replacement information in the target battery replacement station according to the preset display method; wherein the additional battery replacement information includes at least: selected battery replacement resources.

[0022] This solution can also display some additional information required by users through multiple display modes, such as battery prices, additional services provided, etc., giving full play to the advantages of multiple display modes and providing greater convenience for users.

[0023] On the other hand, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a battery replacement guidance system for a battery replacement station, wherein the battery replacement station has multiple battery replacement stations and multiple charging bays, each of the charging bays corresponds to at least one battery replacement station and provides batteries for battery replacement for battery replacement vehicles parked at the battery replacement station. The system includes: a vehicle identification module, for identifying vehicles entering the battery replacement station and determining the vehicle battery model; a station recommendation module, for matching a number of target charging bays with corresponding battery models according to the vehicle battery model; obtaining actual battery replacement data of target battery replacement stations corresponding to the several target charging bays; determining a recommended station order according to the actual battery replacement data of the several target battery replacement stations; and a station guidance module, for guiding the user to the battery replacement station after the user selects the target battery replacement station.

[0024] Finally, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a battery swap guidance device for a battery swap station, the device comprising: at least one processor; and a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein the memory stores instructions that can be executed by the at least one processor so that the at least one processor can execute a battery swap guidance method for a battery swap station.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the battery swap station guidance method, system and device provided by the embodiments of the present invention have the following beneficial effects:

[0026] In order to solve the problem that the efficiency of users in finding battery swap stations is low due to the different battery models stored in each charging compartment in the battery swap station, the present invention proposes a method for automatically identifying the user's vehicle model, matching the corresponding battery model, and recommending a battery swap station to the user based on the battery model, thereby providing one or more optional battery swap solutions for users entering the battery swap station. In the algorithm for recommending a battery swap station, the present invention makes full use of the battery information and station queue information in the battery swap station to determine the comprehensive recommended order of each battery swap station, thereby providing the user with the most suitable and fastest battery swap solution. In addition, after the user selects the battery swap solution, the present invention also sets up a series of guiding measures in the battery swap station to directly guide the user to the corresponding battery swap station, thereby avoiding the user from blindly searching for a battery swap station in the battery swap station, saving the user's battery swap time, and providing greater convenience for the user, especially improving the battery swap experience of users who enter the battery swap station for the first time and are unfamiliar with the routes and facilities in the battery swap station, thereby improving the service quality of the battery swap station while facilitating the user.

[0034] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this specification, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for guiding battery replacement at a battery replacement station, such as Figure 1 As shown, the battery swapping guidance method at a battery swapping station specifically includes steps S101-S104:

[0036] S101. The battery swap guidance system of the battery swap station identifies the vehicle entering the battery swap station and determines the vehicle battery model.

[0037] Specifically, Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a charging compartment and a battery replacement station provided in an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, there are multiple battery swap stations 100 and multiple charging bays 200 in the battery swap station. Each charging bay 200 is associated with at least one battery swap station 100 and provides batteries for battery swapping vehicles parked at the battery swap stations 100. Batteries are stored in the charging bays 200 for charging, and several types of batteries are stored in one charging bay 200.

[0038] First, in order to determine the battery model required for the vehicle entering the battery swap station, the present invention provides two methods for vehicle identification and battery model determination:

[0039] Method 1: Identify the vehicle entering the battery swap station and determine the vehicle battery model. The specific steps are: obtain the vehicle image of the vehicle entering the battery swap station through the camera device, identify the vehicle image through the vehicle model recognition algorithm, and determine the vehicle model of the vehicle. Then search the vehicle battery model corresponding to the vehicle model in the model database.

[0040] This method requires the installation of a camera at the entrance of the battery swap station, and the pre-training of a neural network model that can identify the vehicle model through the vehicle image. The neural network model is used to identify the vehicle model entering the battery swap station, thereby determining the corresponding battery model. The advantage of this method is that users do not need to scan their faces or show their ID cards, nor do they need to enter the battery model or vehicle model by themselves. They can enter the battery swap station unimpeded without any cooperation. After entering the station, the battery model will be automatically known to the system.

[0041] Method 2: Obtain the facial image of the driver entering the battery swap station, or obtain the system QR code presented by the driver. Identify the facial image or system QR code, and determine the driver's user account based on the identification result. Then, based on the user account, search for the corresponding vehicle information in the system. Based on the vehicle information, search for the corresponding vehicle battery model in the model database.

[0042] When users use applications related to the battery swap guidance system of the battery swap station, they must register an account and perform face authentication. In this method, the vehicle model information will be set as a mandatory item. Before entering the battery swap station, the user needs to show a clear face to the scanning device or present the system QR code corresponding to the account. By recognizing the face or the system QR code, it can be automatically associated with the user's registered account, and the user's vehicle model information can be extracted from it, and then the battery model can be determined. The advantage is that the vehicle model information obtained in this way is the vehicle model information filled in by the user himself, and the information accuracy is relatively high.

[0043] Both methods have their own advantages, and users can choose and set them in the application according to their specific needs. If the user does not like the process of stopping and showing the certificate when entering the battery swap station, and prefers to reduce the personal operation process, then you can choose method 1 for vehicle identification. If the user does not trust the accuracy of vehicle identification and is worried that the vehicle model identification error will lead to the wrong guidance of the battery swap station, then you can choose method 2 for vehicle identification. Flexible selection to meet the different needs of various users.

[0044] In other embodiments, the vehicle model information may also be obtained by communicating with the vehicle via Bluetooth or other methods.

[0045] S102. The battery swap guidance system of the battery swap station matches a number of target charging bays with corresponding battery models according to the battery model of the vehicle.

[0046] Specifically, first, the battery swap guidance system of the battery swap station obtains the battery model stored in each charging compartment. Then, the vehicle battery model is matched with the battery model stored in each charging compartment, and several charging compartments with corresponding battery models are screened out and determined as target charging compartments. In other words, charging compartments that do not store the user's battery model are excluded from the selection range.

[0047] In one embodiment, it is assumed that charging compartment A and charging compartment B store batteries of type a, type b, type c, and type d, charging compartment C stores batteries of type b, type d, type e, and type f, and charging compartment D stores batteries of type a, type b, and type f.

[0048] If the user's battery model is model a, according to the above assumptions, the charging compartments that store model a batteries are charging compartment A, charging compartment B, and charging compartment D, so the target charging compartments are: charging compartment A, charging compartment B, and charging compartment D; if the user's battery model is model b, the target charging compartments are charging compartment A, charging compartment B, charging compartment C, and charging compartment D; if the user's battery model is model e, the target charging compartment is only charging compartment C. Through the above method, the charging compartments that store the user's vehicle model battery are screened out from the many battery swap stations in the battery swap station, preparing for the subsequent accurate recommendation of stations.

[0049] S103. The battery swap guidance system of the battery swap station obtains the actual battery swap data of the target battery swap stations corresponding to the target charging compartments; according to the actual battery swap data of the target battery swap stations, the target battery swap stations are sorted to determine the recommended order of the stations.

[0050] Specifically, firstly, the battery capacity corresponding to the vehicle battery model in each target charging compartment is obtained, and the real-time queue number of the target battery replacement station corresponding to each target charging compartment is obtained.

[0051] As a feasible implementation method, after screening in the above steps, it can be ensured that each target charging compartment stores at least one battery that matches the user's battery model, but the battery power stored in the target charging compartment may not meet the usage standard. Even if the power reaches the usage standard, the battery replacement speed may be slow due to the long queue of people at the associated battery replacement station, and it may even be that when the user's turn comes, the battery of this model has been replaced, extending the user's battery replacement time. Therefore, the present invention first obtains the power data of each battery corresponding to the vehicle battery model in each target charging compartment, as well as the real-time queue number of the target battery replacement station associated with each target charging compartment, to provide data support for subsequent battery replacement station recommendations.

[0052] Furthermore, if the battery power corresponding to the vehicle battery model in any target charging compartment is less than the first preset threshold, the target charging compartment will be removed from all target charging compartments. If the real-time queue number in any target battery swapping station corresponding to the remaining target charging compartment is greater than the second preset threshold, the target battery swapping station will be removed from all target battery swapping stations.

[0053] By obtaining the battery power information, it is possible to determine whether the battery power of the corresponding model in each target charging compartment is sufficient for the user. If the power of all batteries corresponding to the vehicle battery model in a target charging compartment does not meet the standard, then this target charging compartment needs to be excluded from the recommended range, and all battery swapping stations associated with this target charging compartment are also excluded from the recommended range. For a target charging compartment within the recommended range, if the real-time queue number of a target battery swapping station associated with it is large, then this target battery swapping station is also excluded from the recommended range. After the above screening, the remaining target battery swapping stations are recommended stations.

[0054] In one embodiment, if the battery model of the vehicle is type A, it is determined whether the power of all type A batteries in the target charging compartment exceeds 80%. As long as there is a type A battery in a target charging compartment with a power exceeding 80%, the target charging compartment will be retained. Among all the target battery swapping stations associated with all the retained target charging compartments, it is determined whether the real-time queue number exceeds 5 vehicles. If it exceeds, the corresponding target battery swapping station is excluded from the recommended range. The remaining target battery swapping stations with a real-time queue number of less than 5 vehicles are the recommended stations. The present invention automatically filters out target stations with substandard power and too many queues, and recommends stations to users more accurately.

[0055] Furthermore, the remaining target battery swap stations are sorted from small to large according to the number of real-time queues to obtain a recommended station order. The target battery swap station with the highest recommendation order is the one with the least real-time queues and a fully charged battery corresponding to the vehicle battery model stored in the charging compartment. Based on this station recommendation order, users can quickly and purposefully select a battery swap station that matches their battery model and has a fast battery swap speed.

[0056] S104: After the user selects the target battery swapping station, the battery swapping guidance system of the battery swapping station guides the user to the battery swapping station.

[0057] Specifically, the recommended order of the workstations is displayed according to a preset display mode; the preset display mode includes at least: a battery swap station guide screen display mode, a voice broadcast mode, an APP terminal display mode, and a vehicle central control screen display mode.

[0058] As a feasible implementation method, the present invention provides a variety of ways to display the determined recommended order of workstations. It can be displayed on the guide screen in the battery swap station, and the user can touch and select in the guide screen; the order can also be broadcast to the user by voice broadcast; it can also be displayed in the APP terminal interface, and the user can directly select the battery swap station on the mobile phone; if the system is associated with the vehicle's central control system, the recommended order of workstations can also be displayed in the vehicle's central control screen, and the user can directly select the battery swap station in the central control screen. The present invention displays the recommended order of workstations to the user through a variety of display methods, allowing the user to select the battery swap station, and the user can flexibly select the required battery swap station.

[0059] As a feasible implementation method, the system can not only display the recommended order of the stations, but also display the additional battery swap information in the target battery swap station. For example, in the charging compartment associated with each target battery swap station, how many batteries match the user's battery model, what is the battery swap price of each battery, etc. Based on this information, the user can further evaluate the recommended battery swap station and choose the one that best suits him, rather than just choosing based on the recommended order as a reference parameter. The battery swap station and battery finally selected are more in line with the user's actual needs. The system can also display some additional information in the battery swap station, including the type of catering services in the station, the prices of various types of catering services, the addresses and routes of various types of catering services, etc., to provide users with better in-station services. Through a variety of display methods, some additional information required by users can be displayed, which takes advantage of a variety of display methods and provides users with greater convenience.

[0060] Furthermore, the final target battery swapping station selected by the user is obtained, and the user is guided to the final battery swapping station through a preset guidance method; wherein the preset guidance method includes at least one or more of the following methods: voice guidance, screen guidance, ground marking guidance, and light guidance.

[0061] In one embodiment, after the user selects a target battery swap station, the system obtains the location of the target battery swap station, and then generates the shortest route to the target battery swap station based on the user's current location and the location of the target battery swap station. The system guides the user to the target battery swap station step by step through voice guidance, screen guidance, ground marking guidance, and light guidance.

[0062] The several guidance methods provided by the present invention convert complex route maps into information that can be directly obtained through the senses, such as voice, marking, and lighting, and fully cover users of different ages, different education levels, and different sense of direction, making it easier and more convenient for users to understand and follow the route. It can save users time in finding workstations and finding routes to workstations, greatly improving user experience.

[0063] In addition, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a power exchange guidance system for a power exchange station, such as Figure 3 As shown, the battery swapping guidance system 300 of the battery swapping station specifically includes:

[0064] The vehicle identification module 310 is used to identify the vehicle entering the battery swap station and determine the vehicle battery model;

[0065] The workstation recommendation module 320 is used to match a number of target charging compartments with corresponding battery models according to the vehicle battery model; obtain the actual battery swapping data of the target battery swapping stations corresponding to the target charging compartments; and determine the recommended order of the workstations according to the actual battery swapping data of the target battery swapping stations;

[0066] The workstation guidance module 330 guides the user to the battery swapping workstation after the user selects the target battery swapping workstation.

[0067] Finally, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a power exchange guidance device for a power exchange station, such as Figure 4 As shown, the device includes: at least one processor; and a memory connected to the at least one processor in communication; wherein the memory stores instructions that can be executed by the at least one processor, so that the at least one processor can execute:

[0068] Identify vehicles entering the battery swap station and determine the vehicle battery model;

[0069] According to the vehicle battery model, matching a plurality of target charging compartments with corresponding battery models;

[0070] Acquire the actual battery swapping data of the target battery swapping stations corresponding to the target charging compartments;

[0071] According to the actual battery swapping data of the target battery swapping stations, the target battery swapping stations are sorted to determine a recommended station order;

[0072] After the user selects the target battery swapping station, the user will be guided to the battery swapping station.

[0073] The present invention provides a battery swap guidance method, system and device for a battery swap station, which realizes the quick recommendation of battery swap stations for battery models in the battery swap station and quickly guides users to the target battery swap stations, thereby improving the overall speed of battery swapping for users and the battery swap efficiency of the battery swap station, and has positive social significance and practical value.
