Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent management of charging piles, and specifically to an intelligent management method and related equipment for charging pile stations. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous progress of electric vehicle technology and the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the penetration rate of electric vehicles is rapidly increasing. This trend has led to a sharp increase in the social demand for public charging piles, making charging stations an indispensable infrastructure for electric vehicle users in their daily travel. However, in the actual operation of charging stations, due to the large differences in the qualities of charging personnel, charging order management has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0003] Especially during peak-valley electricity prices and holidays, which are peak charging periods, charging stations often face serious congestion and disorder. Some charging personnel who do not abide by the rules park their vehicles randomly, ignore the charging queue, and queue-jumping occurs frequently. Such behavior not only leads to disputes and conflicts among vehicle owners, but sometimes even escalates into physical conflicts, seriously affecting the harmonious atmosphere and user experience of charging stations.

[0004] Even more seriously, the chaos of charging order has greatly reduced the operation efficiency and overall charging speed of charging stations. With limited charging resources, disorderly charging behavior makes it impossible for some vehicle owners in urgent need of charging to obtain services in time, further exacerbating the range anxiety of electric vehicle users.

[0005] Currently, most charging stations lack an effective intelligent anti-queue-jumping mechanism to address this problem. Traditional solutions mainly rely on manual guidance by staff, but this method is not only inefficient but also greatly increases the labor cost of charging stations. Therefore, developing an intelligent charging station management system that can automatically identify and prevent queue-jumping behavior is of great significance for improving the operation efficiency of charging stations, protecting the rights and interests of users, and maintaining the order of charging stations. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to overcome the defects existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent management method and related equipment for charging pile stations to solve the technical problem of how to improve the intelligent management efficiency of charging pile stations.

[0007] The present invention is realized through the following technical solutions: In the first aspect, the present invention provides an intelligent management method for charging pile stations, including: Obtaining the license plate number and VIN code of the vehicle entering the station; Monitoring the charging status of each charging pile in the station; Sorting the license plate numbers of the vehicles entering the station in chronological order according to the charging status; When the charging status is idle, authentication is performed based on the sorting situation using the VIN code. If the authentication is successful, charging is initiated for the vehicle corresponding to the license plate number associated with the VIN code. Otherwise, a warning signal is sent, and the charging function of the charging pile is locked.

[0008] Preferably, monitoring the charging status of each charging pile in the station includes: real-time monitoring of the current, voltage of the charging pile, and the connection status of the charging interface to determine whether the charging pile is in an idle, charging, or faulty state.

[0009] Preferably, in the step of sorting the time sequence of the license plate numbers of the vehicles entering the station according to the charging status, the specific process is as follows: According to the time stamps of the vehicles entering the station, all vehicles to be charged are arranged in a queue in chronological order, where each element in the queue includes the license plate number, VIN code, and time stamp information. Traverse the charging pile status list. For each idle charging pile, sequentially screen out the corresponding vehicles from the queue of vehicles to be charged in chronological order. For the vehicles corresponding to the selected idle charging piles, sort them in the order of the time when the vehicles entered the station. According to the sorting result, sequentially assign the idle charging piles to the vehicles ranked in the front. At the same time, remove the vehicles that have been successfully assigned a charging pile from the queue of vehicles to be charged.

[0010] Furthermore, during the charging process, when the status of the charging pile changes, the charging pile status and the queue of vehicles to be charged are updated in real time. If the vehicle that has been assigned a charging pile fails to start charging due to reasons, mark the charging pile as idle again and add it to the subsequent screening of idle charging piles.

[0011] Preferably, when performing authentication using the VIN code according to the sorting situation, match the obtained VIN code with the license plate number of the vehicle to be charged. If the match is successful, the authentication is successful, and charging is initiated for the vehicle corresponding to the license plate number associated with the VIN code. Otherwise, a warning signal is sent, and the charging function of the charging pile is locked.

[0012] Preferably, the process of locking the charging function of the charging pile includes temporarily closing the charging interface of the charging pile, displaying an error message on the display screen, and prompting the user through voice that charging operations cannot be performed.

[0013] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a smart management system for a charging pile station, including: A vehicle information recognition module for obtaining the license plate number and VIN code of the vehicles entering the station; A charging pile status monitoring module for monitoring the charging status of each charging pile in the station; A vehicle sorting module, configured to sort the time sequence of the license plate numbers of the vehicles entering the station according to the charging status; An authentication module, configured to, when the charging status is idle, perform authentication through the VIN code according to the sorting situation. If the authentication is successful, start charging for the vehicle corresponding to the license plate number of the VIN code; otherwise, send a warning signal and lock the charging function of the charging pile.

[0014] In a third aspect, the present invention further provides a mobile terminal, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the processor executes the computer program, the steps of the intelligent management method for a charging pile station as described above are implemented.

[0015] In a fourth aspect, the present invention further provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, and when the computer program is executed by a processor, the steps of the intelligent management method for a charging pile station as described above are implemented.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects: The present invention provides an intelligent management method for a charging pile station. By automatically obtaining the license plate numbers and VIN codes of vehicles and real-time monitoring the charging status of charging piles, the method realizes the automated management of the charging process. This reduces manual intervention and improves management efficiency. The charging pile status and vehicle information are updated in real time to ensure that the system can quickly respond to vehicle entry and charging requirements, reducing waiting time and resource waste. Sorting according to the charging status and the time sequence of vehicle entry ensures fair and efficient allocation of charging pile resources. This avoids the situation of charging pile idleness or over-occupation and improves resource utilization. Through an intelligent sorting algorithm, the system can predict and optimize the charging process, reduce charging waiting time, and improve the user experience. Through VIN code authentication, the system can verify the legality of vehicle identities to ensure that only compliant vehicles can obtain charging services. This avoids the situation of unauthorized vehicles cutting in line for charging and guarantees charging fairness.

[0017] Furthermore, by arranging all vehicles to be charged in a queue according to the time sequence of entering the station, it is ensured that vehicles can receive charging services in sequence, avoiding disorderly competition and queue-jumping phenomena. When the charging pile becomes idle, the system can quickly screen out the vehicle that entered the earliest from the queue and start the charging process, reducing waiting time and resource waste.

[0018] Furthermore, by monitoring the charging pile status in real time and immediately allocating it to the vehicle with the longest waiting time when it is idle, the efficient utilization of charging pile resources is ensured, and the situation of charging piles being idle or over-occupied is avoided. Sorting according to the time sequence of vehicles entering the station helps to balance the charging demands in different time periods, and avoids congestion during peak charging periods and resource waste during off-peak periods. Sorting according to the time sequence of vehicles entering the station ensures the fairness and transparency of charging services, and reduces disputes and dissatisfaction among users.

[0019] Furthermore, the entire sorting and allocation process is automatically completed by the system, reducing manual intervention and error rates, and improving management efficiency and accuracy. The system records and analyzes key data such as vehicle entry time and charging pile status, providing strong data support for managers and helping to formulate more scientific charging strategies and management measures.

[0020] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent management method and related equipment for a charging pile station to solve the technical problem of how to improve the intelligent management efficiency of a charging pile station.

[0022] The following further describes the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings: Embodiment 1 Refer to Figure 1 , in an embodiment of the present invention, an intelligent management method for a charging pile station is provided, including: Step 1, obtaining the license plate number and VIN code of the vehicle entering the station; Step 2, monitoring the charging status of each charging pile in the station; Specifically, monitoring the charging status of each charging pile in the station includes: real-time monitoring of the current and voltage of the charging pile and the connection status of the charging interface to determine whether the charging pile is in an idle, charging, or faulty state.

[0023] Step 3: Sort the license plate numbers of the vehicles entering the station obtained according to the charging status in chronological order. Specifically, according to Figure 2 As shown, the specific process is as follows: Step 31: According to the timestamps of the vehicles entering the station, arrange all the vehicles to be charged in a queue in chronological order, where each element in the queue includes the license plate number, VIN code, and timestamp information. Step 32: Traverse the charging pile status list. For each idle charging pile, sequentially screen out the corresponding vehicles from the queue of vehicles to be charged in chronological order. Step 33: Sort the vehicles corresponding to the screened-out idle charging piles in the order of the time when the vehicles entered the station. Step 34: According to the sorting result, sequentially allocate the idle charging piles to the vehicles ranked in the front. At the same time, remove the vehicles that have been successfully allocated charging piles from the queue of vehicles to be charged.

[0024] Among them, when the status of the charging pile changes, the charging pile status and the queue of vehicles to be charged are updated in real time. If the vehicle that has been allocated a charging pile fails to start charging due to reasons, mark the charging pile as idle again and add it to the subsequent screening of idle charging piles.

[0025] Step 4: When the charging status is idle, perform authentication through the VIN code according to the sorting situation. If the authentication is successful, start charging the vehicle with the license plate number corresponding to the VIN code; otherwise, send a warning signal and lock the charging function of the charging pile.

[0026] Specifically, when performing authentication through the VIN code according to the sorting situation, match the obtained VIN code with the license plate number of the vehicle to be charged. If the match is successful, the authentication is successful, and start charging the vehicle with the license plate number corresponding to the VIN code; otherwise, send a warning signal and lock the charging function of the charging pile.

[0027] Among them, the process of locking the charging function of the charging pile includes temporarily closing the charging interface of the charging pile, displaying an error message on the display screen, and prompting the user through voice that charging operations cannot be performed.

[0028] An intelligent management method for charging pile stations provided in this embodiment realizes the automated management of the charging process by automatically obtaining the license plate number and VIN code of a vehicle and real-time monitoring the charging status of the charging piles. This reduces manual intervention and improves management efficiency. The charging pile status and vehicle information are updated in real time to ensure that the system can quickly respond to vehicle entry and charging requirements, reducing waiting time and resource waste. Sorting is performed according to the charging status and the order of vehicle entry time to ensure fair and efficient allocation of charging pile resources. This avoids the situation of charging piles being idle or over-occupied and improves resource utilization rate. Through an intelligent sorting algorithm, the system can predict and optimize the charging process, reduce charging waiting time, and enhance the user experience. Through VIN code authentication, the system can verify the legality of vehicle identity to ensure that only compliant vehicles can obtain charging services. This avoids the situation of unauthorized vehicles cutting in line to charge and guarantees charging fairness.

[0029] This embodiment has strong versatility and high intelligence. While effectively solving the problem of cutting in line, it can also reduce the input of human costs in the station.

[0030] During peak hours, after the charging personnel arrive at the station, they first scan the QR code on the gate to log in to the cloud platform information. At this time, if there are vacant positions in the station, the vehicle owner can start charging after inserting the charging gun.

[0031] If there is a queue at the station, the vehicle will be placed in the queue position to rest and wait for the voice system to remind the vehicle to enter the corresponding idle charging pile for charging. At this time, if another vehicle cuts in line and forcibly charges, the charging pile will reject the charging through the VIN code verification process and at the same time give a voice reminder to leave.
