[0022] Furthermore, the charging pile data includes: power data, estimated power consumption of current vehicle charging, number of vehicles in queue, scheduled power consumption of vehicles in queue, charging pile location data, charging type data, real-time status, rates and historical utilization.

[0023] Specifically, the battery replacement equipment includes: a mechanical claw, a mechanical screwdriver, a camera, an upper guide rail, a lower guide rail, and a magnetic suction plate; The upper guide rail is arranged on the roof of the mobile charging vehicle; the mechanical claw and the mechanical screwdriver are respectively arranged on the upper guide rail; the lower guide rail is arranged on the bottom side of the cargo box of the mobile charging vehicle; and the camera is fixed on the top inner side of the cargo box.

[0027] Furthermore, when the energy supply and demand state is at the peak of electricity consumption, if the proportion of mobile charging piles with power below the normal power threshold in the charging station exceeds the warning ratio, the spare batteries with 100% power in the charging base are transported to the charging station by a mobile charging vehicle, and the spare batteries are replaced with the mobile charging piles with power below the normal power threshold by using the battery replacement equipment on the mobile charging vehicle, including: Step 901: using a camera to collect image data, and using an object recognition algorithm to identify the image data, to obtain spatial position information of a mobile charging pile whose battery is to be replaced; Step 902: Move the mechanical claw to a position where the upper guide rail is closest to the mobile charging pile of the battery to be replaced according to the spatial position information; Step 903: Use a laser sensor to locate the grooves on both sides of the mobile charging pile, and use a mechanical claw to transfer the mobile charging pile to the replacement station of the lower guide rail through the grooves; Step 904: using an object recognition algorithm to detect the fixing screws on the back cover of the mobile charging pile to obtain screw placement information; Step 905: Remove the fixing screws on the back cover using a mechanical screwdriver according to the screw placement information; Step 906: Using a magnetic plate to transfer the back cover to a temporary storage area; Step 907: Using a camera and an object recognition algorithm to detect the battery to be replaced in the mobile charging pile, and obtaining battery placement information; Step 908: Using a mechanical claw to transfer the battery to be replaced to the recovery area of ​​the lower rail according to the battery placement information, and installing the prepared spare battery into the mobile charging pile; Step 909: After the backup battery is installed, use a mechanical screwdriver to install the back cover onto the mobile charging pile, and use a mechanical claw to move the mobile charging pile to its original position.

[0028] Specifically, the training process of the energy management model includes: Step 301: Collect the electric pile data and the request data to be allocated of the target research power station, and reversely formulate the electric pile allocation plan that meets each stage according to the electric pile data and the request data to be allocated; Step 302: Standardize the charging pile data using the Z-Score formula; Step 303: Perform one-hot encoding on the charging type data and the real-time status to obtain category features; Step 304: performing Euclidean distance calculation based on the electric pole location data and the user location data to obtain location features; Step 305: Standardize the request data to be allocated using Min-Max; Step 306: Build an original model with a dual-tower encoder and a cross-attention mechanism; Step 307: construct a loss function; Step 308: Encode the standardized electric pile data, category features, and position features using the electric pile encoding tower of the original model to obtain an electric pile embedding vector; Step 309: Encode the standardized request data to be allocated using the request encoding tower of the original model to obtain a request embedding vector; Step 310: Using the request embedding vector as the query and the electric pile embedding vector as the key and value, the attention weight is calculated through the cross attention mechanism to obtain the context vector; Step 311: Use the mask layer of the original model to perform hard constraints and dynamic masking on the context vector to obtain a mask output; Step 312: Use the fully connected layer and Softmax of the original model to map the mask output and calculate the probability distribution to obtain a distribution matrix; Step 313: Calculate the loss function according to the allocation matrix and the established charging pile allocation plan to obtain a predicted loss value; Step 314: Optimize the original model using the optimizer according to the predicted loss value, and return to the step of "encoding the standardized electric pile data, category features, and position features using the electric pile encoding tower of the original model to obtain an electric pile embedding vector" to obtain a trained energy management model.

[0029] Preferably, the mobile charging pile in the charging pile allocation scheme is determined as the waiting charging pile, and the user is guided to the waiting charging pile for charging or the target charging pile location information of the waiting charging pile is provided to the user through the mobile terminal, including: The user's location data and the target charging station location information are input into the navigation software to obtain the travel route, and the travel route is updated on the user's mobile terminal.

[0030] Specifically, the loss function is expressed as: ; in, is the calculated value of the loss function; is the number of requests; is the number of charging piles; is the priority weight; is a dynamically generated mask; is the true label; To predict the probability of success; is the balance coefficient; is the historical utilization variance.

[0031] Preferably, the charging pile data is preprocessed. Standardization of numerical features: For continuous values ​​such as power, number of queues, rates, and historical utilization, Z-Score standardization (subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation) is used to eliminate dimensional differences. For historical utilization, the time dimension is added: the sliding window mean of the past hour is calculated to capture dynamic changes.

[0032] Furthermore, the category features are encoded. The charging type (such as fast charging / slow charging) and real-time status (idle / occupied / faulty) are encoded using One-Hot to generate a sparse binary vector. The status field is supplemented with "estimated idle time": dynamically calculated based on the current vehicle charging time.

[0033] Optionally, position data processing: combine the longitude and latitude of the charging pile with the longitude and latitude requested by the user, calculate the Euclidean distance or spherical distance (Haversine formula) as a feature, cluster the locations into regions (such as 500-meter grids), and convert them into Embedding codes of region IDs.

[0034] Specifically, request data preprocessing. Time feature processing: split the appointment time into time series features such as hours, days of the week, whether it is a holiday, etc., and use sine / cosine to encode periodicity. Calculate the "difference between the current time and the appointment time" as the urgency indicator.

[0035] Furthermore, the numerical features are normalized: the scheduled power consumption and battery capacity are normalized using Min-Max and scaled to the interval [0, 1]. The waiting tolerance is converted to a numerical type, such as "the longest waiting time acceptable to the user (minutes)".

[0036] Optionally, priority processing: map priorities (such as VIP / ordinary user) to weight values ​​(such as 1.5 and 1.0) for subsequent loss function weighting.

[0037] Specifically, the neural network architecture is implemented. Dual-tower encoder design: 1) Electric pile coding tower: Input layer: receives the preprocessed electric pile feature vector (including standardized values, One-Hot categories, distances, etc.); Hidden layer: Use 3 layers of full connection (e.g. 256, 128, 64 nodes), each layer is followed by ReLU activation and BatchNormalization; Output layer: Generates a 64-dimensional charging pile embedding vector to characterize the static properties and dynamic state of the charging pile.

[0038] 2) Request encoding tower: Input layer: receives request feature vector (time, location, power demand, etc.); Hidden layer: Symmetrical structure with the charging tower (256, 128, 64 nodes), outputting a 64-dimensional request embedding vector.

[0039] Specifically, the cross-attention mechanism: uses the request embedding vector as the query, and the charging pile embedding vector as the key and value; calculates the attention weight: measures the matching degree between the request and each charging pile through dot product or additive attention; outputs the context vector: weighted aggregate charging pile features to enhance the perception of the global charging pile status.

[0040] Optionally, the mask layer is implemented. Hard constraint filtering: Charging type matching: If the request requires fast charging, then the charging piles that do not support fast charging are blocked; Status filtering: exclude charging piles that are "faulty" or "current utilization exceeds 90%"; Waiting time limit: If the total time taken by the vehicles queuing for the charging pile is greater than the user's tolerance time, block the charging pile. Dynamic mask generation: During each batch of inference, a Boolean mask matrix is ​​generated based on the real-time charging pile status to block invalid options.

[0041] Furthermore, the output layer and decision-making: the attention output is mapped to the charging pile matching score through the fully connected layer; Softmax is applied to generate the probability distribution, and the charging pile with the highest probability is selected as the allocation result.

[0042] Specifically, the model training is implemented as follows: input data organization; batch construction: each training sample contains a set of charging pile data and a request to be allocated; positive sample: the charging pile actually allocated to the request is marked as 1, and the others are marked as 0; negative sample: random sampling of unallocated charging piles (a mask needs to be applied to filter invalid items); loss function design. The loss item of high-priority requests is multiplied by a weight (such as 1.5 times) to enhance the accuracy of the model's allocation.

[0043] Furthermore, the optimization strategy is as follows: Optimizer: Use AdamW (Adam with weight decay), and the initial learning rate is set to 0.0003; Learning rate scheduling: Use the cosine annealing strategy to reset the learning rate every 50 epochs to avoid local optimality.

[0044] Optionally, regularization: L2 weight decay (coefficient 0.0001) is used to prevent overfitting. Dropout (probability 0.3) is applied to the embedding and fully connected layers.

[0045] Furthermore, the training process: load the preprocessed charging pile and request datasets, and divide them into training set and verification set in an 8:2 ratio; randomly sample 100 requests and their associated charging pile data in each batch; forward propagate to calculate the matching score, and calculate the loss after applying the dynamic mask; back propagate to update the parameters, and verify the model performance every 100 batches.

[0046] Optionally, lightweight the model: use TensorRT or ONNX to convert the model to a high-performance inference format. Pre-calculate the embedding vectors (features that do not change in real time) for the electric pile encoding tower to reduce the amount of online calculations. Real-time data processing: receive the electric pile status stream data (such as updates every second) through Kafka or RabbitMQ. Request data is stored in Redis cache to ensure low-latency reading. Online inference service: deploy Flask / FastAPI service, receive electric pile and request data, and return the allocation plan. Use GPU to accelerate batch inference and support processing of thousands of requests per second.

[0047] Specifically, the coordinated operation of the robot arm and the guide rail. Integrated design of the robot arm and the guide rail: The upper guide rail and the robot arm of the mobile charging vehicle adopt an integrated structure. The base of the robot arm is driven by a servo motor and can slide horizontally along the upper guide rail. The upper guide rail has a built-in encoder to provide real-time feedback on the position of the robot arm (accuracy ±1mm), ensuring that the movement of the robot arm is synchronized with the positioning of the charging pile.

[0048] Furthermore, the charging pile grabbing process: the robot arm slides along the guide rail to the target charging pile position, locates the grooves on both sides of the charging pile through the laser sensor (accuracy ±2mm), and moves the charging pile as a whole along the guide rail to the battery replacement station after clamping. The upper guide rail only carries the movement and positioning of the charging pile, and the robot arm is responsible for clamping, disassembly, replacement and other operations. The two work together through the central controller to avoid positioning deviation caused by separation.

[0049] Optionally, the adsorption distance between the magnetic plate and the back cover is fixed at 1 cm (calibrated in real time by a laser rangefinder). After adsorption, it is translated along the guide rail to the temporary storage area to avoid collision with the electric pile body.

[0050] Specifically, the battery replacement process: Electric pile fixation and rear cover removal: The mechanical arm clamps the electric pile to the guide rail station, and the bottom buckle automatically locks the electric pile position. The mechanical screwdriver removes the rear cover screws, and after completion, the electromagnet is triggered to absorb the rear cover and remove it.

[0051] Battery replacement operation: The mechanical claw reaches into the charging pile, locates the battery slot through 3D vision, clamps the old battery and pulls it out along the guide rail, and places it in the recycling bin. The spare battery compartment of the mobile charging vehicle pops out a fully charged battery, and the mechanical arm clamps the new battery and aligns it with the slot, inserting the fully charged battery into the charging pile.

[0052] Reset the back cover and return the charging pile to its original position: the magnetic suction plate moves the back cover back to the top of the charging pile, the robotic arm helps to align the screw holes, and the screwdriver tightens the screws.

[0053] The charging pile releases the rail lock, and the robotic arm pushes it back to its original position, and the return accuracy is confirmed through visual inspection of markers.

[0054] Optionally, the object recognition algorithm uses the YOLOv8 network, which takes into account both real-time performance and accuracy, and is suitable for the recognition of objects such as mobile charging piles, screws, and batteries in dynamic environments. Use CSPDarknet53 to extract image features, and combine with PANet for multi-scale feature fusion to improve the detection ability of small objects (such as screws). Use the labeled data to pre-train the YOLOv8 network. In order to ensure the recognition accuracy of the screws, the labeled data contains a large number of images of the screw head shape to enhance the recognition accuracy of the drive slot orientation of the screws on the mobile charging pile, ensuring that the mechanical screwdriver can accurately fit the drive slot.

[0055] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention realizes the allocation of the best mobile charging pile for users through the energy management model, improves the utilization rate of the charging pile, and reduces the waiting time of users; through the energy supply and demand status and the ambient light intensity, the charging method under different working conditions is realized, and the operating cost is reduced; by replacing the battery during the peak period of electricity consumption, the energy replenishment efficiency of the mobile charging pile is further improved, and the power shortage pressure of the charging station during the peak period is reduced.
