[0061] The following makes an explanation of exemplary embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments of the present invention to facilitate understanding, and they should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those of ordinary skill in the art should recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Similarly, for the sake of clarity and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following.

[0062] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0063] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the main steps of a charging method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, the charging method of the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes the following steps S101 to step S105:

[0064] Step S101: Receive the vehicle identification code of the vehicle to be charged sent by the charging management platform;

[0065] The charging management platform is a pre-established platform for allocating and managing vehicles to be charged and charging piles. When a vehicle needs to be charged, it can submit a charging reservation request including its own vehicle identification code in the charging management platform. The charging management platform sends the vehicle identification code to an idle charging pile so that the charging pile can determine the vehicle to be charged from several vehicles based on the received vehicle identification code of the vehicle to be charged.

[0066] The vehicle identification code is an identifier used to uniquely identify a vehicle in the short-range wireless communication between the vehicle and the charging pile and in the charging management platform, that is, each vehicle has a unique vehicle identification code for identifying itself in the short-range wireless communication between the vehicle and the charging pile and in the charging management platform. The vehicle identification codes of different vehicles are different.

[0067] The charging management platform can manage vehicle charging through the vehicle identification code. For example, it can manage the charging location, allocation of charging piles, charging duration, charging billing, etc.

[0068] Step S102: Start short-range wireless communication in response to the above charging pile meeting the short-range wireless communication enabling condition;

[0069] The short-range wireless communication can be a communication method in which both the transmitter and receiver use radio waves to transmit information underground and can transmit within a range of dozens of meters, including but not limited to wireless local area network (Wi-Fi), Bluetooth, etc.

[0070] When the charging pile meets the short-range wireless communication enabling condition, it can start short-range wireless communication broadcasting. When the short-range wireless communication enabling condition is not met, the short-range wireless communication can be automatically turned off, or after the vehicle successfully connected to the same charging pile is disconnected from the charging pile and there has been no situation meeting the short-range wireless communication enabling condition for a period of time, the short-range wireless communication broadcasting is automatically turned off, thus avoiding power consumption and data leakage risks caused by long-term activation of the short-range wireless communication.

[0071] Step S103: Receive a connection request from any vehicle through the above short-range wireless communication;

[0072] After the short-range wireless communication is activated, the charging pile can scan within the broadcast range through short-range wireless communication broadcasting and receive a connection request from any vehicle scanned. It can be understood that there may be multiple vehicles scanned by the charging pile through short-range wireless communication, among which there may be the vehicle to be charged corresponding to the vehicle identification code received by the charging pile, or there may be no such vehicle to be charged.

[0073] Further, in order to determine the vehicle to be charged from multiple vehicles, the vehicle to be charged can be determined through a connection request.

[0074] Step S104, when the above connection request indicates that the authentication is passed, it is determined that the above charging pile has successfully established short-range wireless communication with the above vehicle to be charged, and charging of the above vehicle to be charged is started;

[0075] The charging pile can actively send authentication request information to vehicles within the scanning range through short-range wireless communication, receive the connection request of the vehicle, and establish short-range wireless communication when the connection request indicates that the authentication is passed.

[0076] Step S105, when the above connection request includes the authentication identification code of the above vehicle, based on the above vehicle identification code, authenticate the above authentication identification code, and after the authentication is passed, it is determined that the above charging pile has successfully established short-range wireless communication with the above vehicle to be charged, and charging of the above vehicle to be charged is started.

[0077] The charging pile can accept the connection request sent by the vehicle including the authentication identification code, and when the authentication identification code matches the vehicle identification code of the vehicle to be charged in the charging pile, the authentication is passed and short-range wireless communication is established.

[0078] That is to say, the subject of authentication can be either the charging pile or the vehicle scanned by the charging pile through short-range wireless communication, avoiding the problem that the vehicle to be charged cannot be charged due to problems with the authentication subject when authentication can only be performed at one end. After the authentication is passed, the vehicle to be charged is determined from the vehicles within the scanning range, and short-range wireless communication between the charging pile and the vehicle to be charged is established, and then charging of the vehicle to be charged can be started. Vehicles that have not successfully established short-range wireless communication with the charging pile cannot use the charging pile for charging.

[0079] In an alternative embodiment, the above method further includes:

[0080] Trigger short-range wireless communication to broadcast authentication request information to vehicles within the broadcast range, so that the vehicles that receive the above authentication request information authenticate based on the above authentication request information; wherein, the above authentication request information includes the vehicle identification code of the above vehicle to be charged;

[0081] The above reception of the connection request of any vehicle through the above short-range wireless communication includes: receiving a connection request indicating that the authentication is passed, and determining the vehicle that sends the connection request indicating that the authentication is passed as the vehicle to be charged.

[0082] When the authentication entity is a vehicle, the charging pile can send authentication request information including the vehicle identification code of the vehicle to be charged to the vehicles within the broadcast range through short-range wireless communication. After receiving the authentication request information, the vehicle can match the vehicle identification code in the authentication request information with its own vehicle identification code. In the case of a successful match, a connection request indicating successful authentication is generated; in the case of an unsuccessful match, a connection request may not be generated or a connection request indicating failed authentication is generated.

[0083] When the charging pile receives a connection request indicating successful authentication, it can determine the vehicle as the vehicle to be charged; when the charging pile does not receive a connection request or receives a connection request indicating failed authentication, it determines that the vehicle does not belong to the vehicle to be charged.

[0084] By matching the vehicle identification code of the vehicle with the vehicle identification code of the vehicle to be charged to determine the legitimacy of the vehicle. On the one hand, it can prevent vehicles without charging reservations from occupying the charging pile, resulting in the inability of the vehicle to be charged to charge. On the other hand, after the vehicle to be charged enters the broadcast range of short-range wireless communication, it can quickly establish short-range wireless communication between the charging pile and the vehicle to be charged, realizing user-invisible charging preprocessing, without the need for the user to scan a code or swipe a card to start vehicle charging, simplifying the charging process.

[0085] In an optional embodiment, the above-mentioned short-range wireless communication enabling condition includes:

[0086] The voltage at the connection between the charging gun of the above-mentioned charging pile and the pile body of the above-mentioned charging pile changes from a preset first voltage to a preset second voltage.

[0087] It can be understood that the charging pile can identify whether the charging gun is pulled out from the pile body by identifying the change in the voltage at the connection between the charging gun and the pile body of the charging pile. Specifically, when the charging gun is placed on the pile body, the voltage at the connection between the two can be the preset first voltage; after the charging gun is removed from the pile body, the voltage at the original connection between the two is the preset second voltage. Therefore, when the voltage at the connection changes from the preset first voltage to the preset second voltage, it indicates that the charging gun is pulled out from the pile body; correspondingly, when the voltage at the connection changes from the preset second voltage to the preset first voltage, it indicates that the removed charging gun is placed on the pile body. Here, the movement of the charging gun can be caused by humans.

[0088] Furthermore, when the pulled-out charging gun is placed on the pile body, it may indicate that the vehicle to be charged has completed charging or the user has placed it temporarily. To avoid the user temporarily placing the charging gun while the charging is actually not completed, the short-range wireless communication between the charging pile and the vehicle to be charged can be disconnected after a preset buffer time.

[0089] Once the user reinserts the charging gun into the charging port, authentication can be performed again. After successful authentication, charging of the vehicle to be charged can be restarted to prevent unauthorized charging. If the re - authentication fails, a prompt message can be sent to the vehicle to be charged, or a prompt message can be sent to the user's client via the charging management platform, and at the same time, charging of the vehicle with failed authentication can be suspended.

[0090] In an alternative embodiment, the above - mentioned short - range wireless communication enabling condition further includes:

[0091] There is a vehicle within the preset range of the above charging pile and the vehicle's staying time exceeds the preset time.

[0092] The charging pile can automatically identify whether the short - range wireless communication enabling condition is met. When there is a vehicle within the preset range of the charging pile and the vehicle's staying time exceeds the preset time, it may indicate that there is a vehicle wanting to use this charging pile for charging. Therefore, the charging pile can turn on the short - range wireless communication; when there is no vehicle within the preset range of the charging pile or there is a vehicle but the vehicle's staying time does not exceed the preset time, it may indicate that there is no vehicle needing to use this charging pile for charging. Therefore, the charging pile can continue to keep the short - range wireless communication off.

[0093] In an alternative embodiment, the above method further includes:

[0094] Collect images of the preset range around the pile body of the above charging pile through an image acquisition device;

[0095] Analyze the images of the above - mentioned preset range;

[0096] According to the analysis result, determine whether there is a vehicle that meets the short - range wireless communication enabling condition within the above - mentioned preset range.

[0097] The image acquisition device can be pre - set on the pile body of the charging pile or near the charging pile, and is used to collect images of the preset range around the pile body. Identify the vehicles in the images through image recognition technology and determine the staying time of each vehicle within the preset range. Once there is a vehicle within the preset range and the vehicle's staying time exceeds the preset time, it is determined that there is a vehicle that meets the short - range wireless communication enabling condition within the preset range.

[0098] In an alternative embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the above method further includes the following steps S201 to S203:

[0099] Step S201, in response to successfully establishing short - range wireless communication with the above - mentioned vehicle to be charged, send a charging start command to the above - mentioned vehicle to be charged through short - range wireless communication, so that the above - mentioned vehicle to be charged opens the charging port cover based on the above - mentioned charging start command;

[0100] Step S202: Receive the feedback signal of the charging port cover opening sent by the vehicle to be charged above.

[0101] Step S203: Based on the feedback signal of the charging port cover opening above, execute the step of starting to charge the vehicle to be charged above.

[0102] When the charging gun is not manually removed from the pile by the user, the charging pile can determine whether the short - distance wireless communication opening condition is met by collecting images within a preset range through an image acquisition device. After the short - distance wireless communication is successfully established, the charging pile sends a start - charging instruction indicating that charging is about to start to the vehicle to be charged. The start - charging instruction is used to prompt the vehicle to be charged that charging is about to start and instruct the vehicle to be charged to open the charging port cover. Therefore, there is no need for the user to manually open the charging port cover.

[0103] In some possible implementation manners, opening the charging port cover can also be a manual operation by the user of the vehicle to be charged. The user opens the charging port cover by touching or pressing a button in the vehicle to be charged that indicates opening the charging port cover, so as to facilitate the subsequent insertion of the charging gun for charging.

[0104] In an alternative embodiment, before starting to charge the vehicle to be charged above, the method further includes:

[0105] In response to receiving the feedback signal of the charging port cover opening, collect an image of the vehicle to be charged through an image acquisition device;

[0106] Analyze the image of the vehicle to be charged to determine the position of the charging port;

[0107] Based on the position of the charging port above, control the robotic arm to extend and drive the charging gun to insert into the charging port.

[0108] When the charging pile determines that the charging port cover of the vehicle to be charged has been opened based on the feedback signal of the charging port cover opening, the position of the charging port can be determined through the image of the vehicle to be charged, and the robotic arm of the charging pile can be controlled to extend. One end of the robotic arm is rotatably connected to the charging pile, and the other end is rotatably connected to the charging gun. Driven by the robotic arm, control the charging gun to move to the position of the charging port and insert into the charging port, thereby charging the vehicle to be charged, realizing automatic vehicle charging. When the user drives the vehicle to be charged into the broadcast range of the short - distance wireless communication, the embodiments of the present invention can achieve automatic identification of the vehicle to be charged, automatic opening of the charging port cover, and automatic insertion of the charging gun through short - distance wireless communication, realizing a complete automatic vehicle charging process without manual operation by the user. It can be understood that the operations of pulling out the charging gun from the pile, opening the charging cover, and inserting the charging gun into the charging port can also be completed manually.

[0109] After charging is completed, the charging pile can receive the charging completion feedback signal sent by the vehicle to be charged. The charging pile can control the robotic arm to move, drive the charging gun to be pulled out from the charging port, and retract the robotic arm and the charging gun.

[0110] In an optional embodiment, after the charging pile and the vehicle to be charged successfully establish short-range wireless communication, the charging lock function can also be implemented based on the short-range wireless communication. Specifically, after the charging gun is inserted into the charging port of the vehicle to be charged, within the reserved charging time of the vehicle to be charged or when the charging pile does not receive the charging completion feedback signal sent by the vehicle to be charged, in order to protect the rights and interests of the user to be charged, the charging gun can be controlled to be locked in the charging port to prevent the charging gun from being pulled out and thus avoid the phenomenon of unauthorized charging.

[0111] It should be noted that in order to avoid the need for the user to terminate charging due to other reasons, and thus need to terminate charging when the reserved charging time is not full or the charging pile does not receive the charging completion feedback signal sent by the vehicle to be charged, a function to terminate charging can be provided in the charging management platform. When the user selects to use this function, the charging pile can receive the charging termination instruction sent by the charging management platform, and thus based on this charging termination instruction, unlock the charging gun and the charging port, automatically retract the robotic arm and the charging gun, or manually pull out the charging gun.

[0112] According to the charging method of the embodiment of the present invention, a connection request of a vehicle is received through short-range wireless communication, the vehicle to be charged is determined based on the vehicle identification code, and when the authentication is passed, short-range wireless communication between the charging pile and the vehicle to be charged is successfully established. Then, after the short-range wireless communication is successfully established, the vehicle to be charged is charged, realizing an automated process of determining the vehicle to be charged and charging the vehicle to be charged. The vehicle to be charged can be quickly confirmed, the charging process is simplified, and the user can achieve a seamless vehicle charging experience without manual operation. And based on the establishment of short-range wireless communication, the occurrence of unauthorized charging can be effectively prevented, improving the safety of the charging process.

[0113] As Figure 3 shown, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a charging method applied to a vehicle, including the following steps S301 to step S304:

[0114] Step S301, sending a charging reservation request including its own vehicle identification code to the above-mentioned charging management platform;

[0115] Step S302, in response to the short-range wireless communication module of the above-mentioned vehicle scanning the short-range wireless communication of the charging pile, establishing a short-range wireless communication connection with the above-mentioned charging pile;

[0116] Step S303, if an authentication request message including the vehicle identification code of the vehicle to be charged sent by the above charging pile is received, authenticate the received vehicle identification code of the vehicle to be charged based on its own vehicle identification code. After successful authentication, send a connection request indicating successful authentication to the above charging pile to successfully establish short-range wireless communication with the above charging pile and charge at the above charging pile.

[0117] Step S304, if the above authentication request message sent by the above charging pile is not received, send a connection request including its own vehicle identification code to the above charging pile to successfully establish short-range wireless communication with the above charging pile after the above charging pile passes the authentication and charge at the above charging pile.

[0118] The vehicle sends a connection request including its own vehicle identification code to the charging pile by scanning short-range wireless communication to enable the charging pile to authenticate, or receives the authentication request message with the charging identification code of the vehicle to be charged sent by the charging pile, and the vehicle authenticates the authentication request message, endowing both the charging pile and the vehicle with the ability to authenticate, greatly improving the authentication speed. After successful authentication, short-range wireless communication between the charging pile and the vehicle is established to charge through the charging pile, without the need for manual operation by the user, realizing an intelligent vehicle charging method.

[0119] In an optional embodiment, the above method further includes:

[0120] In the case of successfully establishing short-range wireless communication with the above charging pile, in response to receiving the start charging instruction sent by the above charging pile, open the charging port cover according to the above start charging instruction;

[0121] After the charging port cover is opened, send a charging port cover opening feedback signal to the charging pile to enable the above charging pile to start charging the vehicle based on the above charging port cover feedback information.

[0122] When the vehicle receives a prompt that the vehicle to be charged is about to start charging the vehicle to be charged and instructs the vehicle to be charged to open the charging port cover, the vehicle to be charged can automatically open the charging port cover based on the start charging instruction, and after the charging port cover is opened, inform the charging pile through the charging port cover feedback information that the charging port cover has been opened, completing the charging preparation work, and then charging the vehicle through the charging pile. Through the embodiments of the present invention, the charging port cover can be automatically opened when the vehicle is charging, without the need for manual operation by the user.

[0123] According to the charging method of the embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle to be charged is determined through short-range wireless communication based on the vehicle identification code. When the authentication is passed, the short-range wireless communication between the charging pile and the vehicle to be charged is successfully established. Then, after the short-range wireless communication is successfully established, vehicle charging is carried out, realizing the automated process of vehicle charging, which can quickly confirm the vehicle to be charged, simplifies the charging process, and enables the user to charge the vehicle without feeling it without manual operation by the user.

[0124] The charging method will be elaborated in detail through another specific embodiment below.

[0125] As Figure 4 shown, the charging method of the embodiments of the present invention includes the following steps S401 to S412:

[0126] Step S401, the vehicle to be charged makes a charging reservation on the charging management platform and sends a charging reservation request including its own vehicle identification code to the above-mentioned charging management platform so that the charging management platform allocates an idle charging pile.

[0127] Step S402, the charging pile receives the vehicle identification code of the vehicle to be charged sent by the charging management platform.

[0128] Step S403, the charging pile can collect images of a preset range around the pile body of the charging pile through an image acquisition device and analyze the images of the preset range. When there is a vehicle within the preset range of the charging pile and the vehicle stays for more than the preset time, short-range wireless communication is started.

[0129] Step S404, the vehicle scans the charging pile through short-range wireless communication and sends a connection request to the charging pile; wherein, the connection request includes the identification code to be authenticated of the vehicle; the identification code to be authenticated refers to the vehicle identification code of the vehicle that sends the connection request.
