Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of battery replacement, and in particular to a battery replacement station battery replacement guiding method, system and device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The electric vehicle battery replacement station refers to a power station that stores and charges a large number of batteries in a centralized manner and provides battery replacement services for electric vehicles. The essence of the battery replacement station is to tap 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 directly meet the endurance by replacing batteries. This separation of vehicles and batteries for energy replenishment is called a battery replacement station. With the rapid development of new energy vehicles and policy support, the current battery replacement station infrastructure has initially taken shape, and new energy vehicles replenish energy by directly replacing batteries, which effectively complements the charging mode and jointly promotes the continuous improvement of new energy vehicle penetration rate.

[0003] Since the battery replacement mode can realize efficient energy replenishment compared to the charging mode, it is increasingly favored by users and more and more users gradually start to use the battery replacement mode to replenish energy for vehicles, so the battery replacement station gradually becomes large. Among them, the large battery replacement station is compatible with multiple vehicle models, and multiple battery models need to be stored in each battery replacement station to meet the battery replacement needs of different vehicle models. Generally, different charging bays store multiple different models of batteries, and the battery models stored in each charging bay are relatively random, and the batteries stored in the same charging bay generally cannot cover all models. Therefore, after the user enters the battery replacement station, he or she cannot quickly find the charging bay where the battery of his or her vehicle model is located, and cannot obtain important information such as the battery power in the charging bay. Due to the lack of effective guidance, it is easy to cause the user to find the wrong battery replacement station, take too long to find the battery replacement station, and affect the user's battery replacement experience.

[0034] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this invention, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this specification, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0035] This invention provides a method for guiding battery swapping at a battery swapping station, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the battery swapping guidance method for battery swapping stations specifically includes steps S101-S104:

[0036] S101 The battery swapping station guidance system identifies vehicles entering the battery swapping station and determines the vehicle's battery model.

[0037] Specifically, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a charging compartment and battery swapping station provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the battery swapping station has multiple battery swapping stations 100 and multiple charging compartments 200. Each charging compartment 200 is associated with at least one battery swapping station 100 and provides batteries for battery swapping vehicles parked at the battery swapping station 100. The batteries are stored in the charging compartments 200 for charging, and each charging compartment 200 stores several types of batteries.

[0038] First, to determine the battery type required for vehicles entering the battery swapping station, this invention provides two methods for vehicle identification and battery type determination:

[0039] Method 1: Identify vehicles entering the battery swapping station to determine the vehicle's battery model. The specific steps are as follows: Acquire vehicle images of vehicles entering the station using a camera; use a vehicle model recognition algorithm to identify the vehicle model from the images; then search the model database for the corresponding battery model.

[0040] This method requires installing cameras at the entrance of the battery swapping station and pre-training a neural network model that can identify vehicle models from vehicle images. This model identifies the vehicle model entering the station and thus determines the corresponding battery model. The advantage of this method is that users do not need to use facial recognition or show identification, nor do they need to manually input the battery or vehicle model. They can enter the swapping station without any hindrance; the battery model is automatically determined by the system upon entry.

[0041] The second mode is to obtain the face image of the driver of the vehicle entering the battery swap station or to obtain the system two-dimensional code presented by the driver. The face image or the system two-dimensional code is identified, and the user account of the driver is determined according to the identification result. Then, the corresponding vehicle information is found in the system according to the user account. According to the vehicle information, the corresponding vehicle battery model is found in the model database.

[0042] When the user uses the application program related to the battery swap station guiding system, account registration and face authentication are necessary. In this mode, the vehicle model information is set as a required item. Before the user enters the battery swap station, the user needs to expose a clear face to the scanning device or present a system two-dimensional code corresponding to the account. Through face recognition or system two-dimensional code recognition, the user's registered account can be automatically associated, and the user's vehicle model information can be extracted to determine the battery model. The advantage is that the vehicle model information obtained in this way is the vehicle model information filled in by the user, and the information accuracy is high.

[0043] The two modes have their own advantages, and the user can choose and set in the application program according to his specific needs. If the user does not like the process of stopping the car and presenting the certificate when entering the battery swap station, and prefers to reduce the personal operation process, the first mode can be selected for vehicle recognition. If the user is not confident in the accuracy of vehicle recognition and is worried that the vehicle model recognition error will lead to the error of the battery swap station guiding, the second mode can be selected for vehicle recognition. Flexible selection meets the different needs of various users.

[0044] In other embodiments, the vehicle model information can also be obtained by Bluetooth communication with the vehicle and the like.

[0045] S102, the battery swap station guiding system matches a plurality of target charging bays with corresponding battery models according to the vehicle battery model.

[0046] Specifically, first, the battery swap station guiding system obtains the storage battery model in each charging bay. Then, the vehicle battery model is matched with the storage battery model in each charging bay, and a plurality of charging bays with corresponding battery models are screened out as target charging bays. That is, the charging bays without storing the user's battery model are excluded from the selection range.

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

[0048] If the battery model of the user is model a, according to the above assumption, the charging bays that store the model a batteries are charging bay A, charging bay B and charging bay D, so the target charging bays are: charging bay A, charging bay B and charging bay D; if the battery model of the user is model b, the target charging bays are charging bay A, charging bay B, charging bay C and charging bay D; if the battery model of the user is model e, the target charging bay is only charging bay C. Through the above method, the charging bays that store the vehicle model batteries of the user are screened out from the many battery replacement stations in the battery replacement station, so as to prepare for the subsequent accurate recommendation of the station.

[0049] In S103, the battery replacement station battery replacement guidance system obtains the battery replacement real-time data of the target battery replacement stations corresponding to the target charging bays; and sorts the target battery replacement stations according to the battery replacement real-time data of the target battery replacement stations, to determine the station recommendation sequence.

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

[0051] As a feasible implementation manner, the screening through the foregoing steps can ensure that at least one battery corresponding to the user battery model is stored in each target charging bay, but the battery capacity stored in the target charging bay may not reach the use standard, even if the capacity reaches the use standard, the battery replacement speed may be slow due to the long queuing number of the associated battery replacement station, and even the battery of the model may be replaced when the user is queued, which prolongs the user battery replacement time. Therefore, the present application first obtains the battery capacity data of each battery corresponding to the vehicle battery model in each target charging bay, and the real-time queuing number of the target battery replacement station associated with each target charging bay, to provide data support for the subsequent battery replacement station recommendation.

[0052] Further, if the battery capacity corresponding to the vehicle battery model in any target charging bay is less than a first preset threshold, the target charging bay is excluded from all target charging bays. If the real-time queuing number of any target battery replacement station corresponding to the remaining target charging bays is greater than a second preset threshold, the target battery replacement station is excluded from all target battery replacement stations.

[0053] By the acquired battery power information, it can be determined whether the power of the corresponding model of battery in each target charging bin is sufficient for user use. If the power of all batteries corresponding to the vehicle battery model in a target charging bin does not meet the standard, the target charging bin needs to be excluded from the recommended range, and all battery swap stations associated with the target charging bin are also excluded from the recommended range. If the real-time queue number of a target battery swap station associated with a target charging bin in the recommended range is large, the target battery swap station is also excluded from the recommended range. After the above screening, the remaining target battery swap stations are the recommended stations.

[0054] In one embodiment, if the vehicle battery model is a type a, it is determined whether the power of all type a batteries in the target charging bin exceeds 80%. As long as the power of one type a battery in a target charging bin exceeds 80%, the target charging bin is retained. In all target battery swap stations associated with all target charging bins retained, it is determined whether the real-time queue number exceeds 5 vehicles. If it exceeds, the corresponding target battery swap station is excluded from the recommended range. The remaining target battery swap stations with a real-time queue number within 5 vehicles are the recommended stations. The present application automatically screens out target stations with insufficient power and too many queues, and more accurately recommends stations to users.

[0055] Further, the remaining target battery swap stations are sorted in ascending order of real-time queue number to obtain a station recommendation order. The target battery swap station at the top of the recommendation order has the least real-time queue number and stores a full-power battery corresponding to the vehicle battery model in the charging bin. According to the station recommendation order, users can quickly and directionally select a battery swap station that meets their battery model and has a fast battery swap speed.

[0056] S104, after the user selects a target battery swap station, the battery swap station guiding system guides the user to the battery swap station.

[0057] Specifically, the station recommendation order is displayed according to a preset display mode. The preset display mode at least includes a battery swap station guiding 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, the application provides various ways to display the determined work station recommended sequence, which can be displayed on a guide screen in the battery swap station, and the user can select by touching the guide screen; the sequence can also be broadcast to the user through voice broadcast; the sequence can also be displayed on an APP terminal interface, and the user can select the battery swap work station directly on the mobile phone; if the system is associated with the vehicle central control system, the work station recommended sequence can also be displayed on the central control screen of the vehicle, and the user can select the battery swap work station directly on the central control screen. The application displays the work station recommended sequence to the user through various display modes, so that the user can select the battery swap work station flexibly.

[0059] As a feasible implementation, the system can not only display the work station recommended sequence, but also display additional battery swap information in the target battery swap work station. For example, the number of batteries corresponding to the user's battery model in the charging bin associated with each target battery swap work station, the price of each battery swap, and the like. Based on this information, the user can further evaluate the recommended battery swap work station and select the most suitable battery swap work station for himself, rather than only selecting the battery swap work station according to the recommended sequence as a reference parameter. The final selected battery swap work station and battery are more in line with the actual needs of the user. The system can also display some additional information in the battery swap station, including the types of catering services in the station, the prices of various types of catering services, the addresses and routes of various types of catering services, and the like, to provide better in-station services for the user. Through various display modes, some additional information needed by the user is displayed, the advantages of various display modes are brought into play, and greater convenience is provided for the user.

[0060] Further, the final target battery swap work station selected by the user is obtained, and the user is guided to the final battery swap work station through a preset guidance mode. The preset guidance mode at least includes one or more of the following modes: voice guidance, screen guidance, ground marker guidance, and light guidance.

[0061] In one embodiment, after the user selects a target battery swap work station, the system obtains the position of the target battery swap work station, and then generates a shortest route to the target battery swap work station according to the current position of the user and the position of the target battery swap work station. The user is guided to the target battery swap work station step by step through voice guidance, screen guidance, ground marker guidance, and light guidance.

[0062] The several guidance modes provided by the application convert a complex route map into information that can be directly obtained through senses such as voice, markers, and lights, and comprehensively cover users of different ages, different education levels, and different sense of direction. The user's understanding and following of the route are more simple and convenient. The time for the user to find the work station and the route to the work station is saved, and the user experience is greatly improved.

[0063] In addition, embodiments of the present invention also provide a battery swapping guidance system for battery swapping stations, 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 vehicles entering the battery swapping station and determine the vehicle's battery model.

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

[0066] The workstation guidance module 330 guides the user to the selected battery swapping workstation.

[0067] Finally, this embodiment of the invention also provides a battery swapping guidance device for a battery swapping station, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the device includes: at least one processor; and a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor to enable the at least one processor to execute:

[0068] Identify vehicles entering the battery swapping station and determine the vehicle's battery model;

[0069] Based on the vehicle battery model, match several target charging compartments with corresponding battery models;

[0070] Obtain real-time battery swapping data for the target battery swapping stations corresponding to the plurality of target charging compartments;

[0071] Based on the actual battery swapping data of the target battery swapping stations, the target battery swapping stations are sorted to determine the recommended order of the stations.

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

[0073] This invention provides a battery swapping guidance method, system, and equipment for battery swapping stations, which enables quick recommendation of battery swapping stations based on battery type within the station and rapid guidance of users to the target battery swapping station. This improves the overall speed of battery swapping for users and enhances the battery swapping efficiency of the station, thus having positive social significance and practical value.
