[0002] With the development of the sharing economy, shared bicycles have become increasingly popular. Among them, shared electric bicycles are widely used by users due to their convenience. However, the popularization of electric bicycles has also brought a series of problems, among which the problem of random parking is the most prominent, which has had a certain impact on the city appearance, transportation, etc. At the same time, in the current use process of shared electric bicycles, parking operations need to rely on their own positioning. Users often encounter problems such as inability to return the vehicle due to inaccurate positioning, which affects the user experience. In addition, the charging problem of electric bicycles is also an important reason restricting the popularization of electric bicycles. Under the existing operation mode, most often maintenance personnel drive maintenance vehicles and carry batteries to each station to replace the batteries of the vehicles without power to achieve charging and energy replenishment of shared electric bicycles. Its maintenance efficiency is low, and the equipment cost and labor cost invested are high.

[0003] Regarding the problem of random parking of electric bicycles, expected solutions include learning from the design of existing traditional urban shared bicycles and restricting the parking of electric bicycles in the form of locking posts. However, existing traditional urban shared bicycles can only achieve vehicle locking and do not have a charging function, so it is difficult to be directly applied to the field of shared electric bicycles. Summary of the Invention

The two fixing hoops are detachably connected, and a clamping interval is formed between the two fixing hoops. The distance between the two fixing hoops is adjustable. The two fixing hoops can be used to connect to structures such as the vehicle bar on the electric bicycle. The docking form is simple and can be adapted to various different vehicle models.

[0030] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown in the figure, a lock module 4 is further included, and the locking component is arranged on the pile body 1. The lock module 4 includes a lock tongue 41 and a lock driving component 42. The lock tongue 41 is located on the side of the socket 11 and is movably arranged in the lock installation hole. The lock driving component 42 is used to drive the lock tongue 41 to move telescopically. Specifically, the lock driving component 42 includes a driving motor.

[0031] As Figure 6As shown in the figure, it further includes a charging module, which includes a charging component and a power receiving component. The charging module is arranged on the pile body 1. The charging component includes a charging connector, and the power receiving component includes a power receiving connector, and the power receiving connector is connected to the battery of the electric bicycle. The charging connector is arranged on the first docking terminal 16, and the power receiving connector is arranged on the second docking terminal 21. When the first docking terminal 16 and the second docking terminal 21 are docked, the charging connector and the power receiving connector are docked. As a specific implementation manner, the charging connector and the power receiving connector respectively include three power transmission channels. In the docking state, the three power transmission channels are docked one by one.

[0032] Specifically, as Figure 6 shown in the figure, the charging component includes a power supply 51, a relay, a leakage protector and a charger 52, and the charger 52 is connected to the power supply 51 through the relay. As a specific implementation manner, the charging component further includes a power quantity metering unit, a temperature detection unit, a voltage detection unit and a short-circuit detection unit.

The controller is used for controlling the locking drive component 42 to work.

[0034] Furthermore, the controller includes a vehicle-pile connection state detection unit, a locking state detection unit and a charging state detection unit. The vehicle-pile connection state detection unit is used for detecting whether the connector is docked in place with the socket 11; the locking state detection unit is used for detecting whether the locking tongue 41 is in the locked state; the charging state detection unit is used for detecting whether the charging component and the power receiving component are in the power transmission state.

[0035] As Figure 4As shown in the figure, the communication component includes a first communication unit and a second communication unit. The first communication unit is disposed on the pile body 1, and the second communication unit is disposed on the vehicle-pile connection module 2 or the electric bicycle. The first communication unit includes a first communication connector, and the second communication unit includes a second communication connector. The first communication connector is integrally disposed on the first docking terminal 16, and the second communication connector is integrally disposed on the second docking terminal 21. When the first docking terminal 16 and the second docking terminal 21 are docked, the first communication connector and the second communication connector are docked for communication. Specifically, the first communication connector and the second communication connector each include eight communication channels. In the docked state, the eight communication channels are docked one by one. The first communication unit and the second communication unit communicate using the CAN protocol.

[0036] As a specific implementation, as Figure 4 shown in the figure, the second communication unit is disposed on the electric bicycle and is used to implement communication between the electric bicycle and the cloud server. As another specific implementation, the second communication unit is integrally disposed in the connector.

[0037] The first communication unit is used to interact with the second communication unit about the docking state; the first communication unit is also used to receive the status information of the locking module 4 and the charging module sent by the controller and send it to the second communication unit; the first communication unit is also used to receive the electric bicycle status information sent by the second communication unit and send it to the controller.

[0038] The second communication unit is used to receive the status information of the locking module 4 and the charging module sent by the first communication unit and send it to the cloud server; the second communication unit is also used to send the status information and operation instructions of the electric bicycle to the first communication unit.

[0039] The control module further includes a user terminal. The user terminal is used to send operation instructions to the second communication unit, and is also used to receive the status information of the locking module 4, the charging module and the electric bicycle sent by the second communication unit; the user terminal is also used to connect to the cloud server. As a specific implementation, the second communication unit is directly connected to the cloud server using a wireless signal. As another specific implementation, the second communication unit is connected to the cloud server through the user terminal.

[0040] The control module further includes a protection component. The protection component includes a water immersion protection unit, an anti-theft unit, a lightning protection unit, etc. The water immersion protection unit, the anti-theft unit, and the lightning protection unit are respectively electrically connected to the controller.

[0041] As Figure 11As shown in the figure, the method for locking and charging an electric bicycle uses the integrated system for locking and charging an electric bicycle as described above; It includes at least the following steps: S1. Docking: Insert the connector of the vehicle pile connection module 2 into the insertion slot 11 of the pile body 1. The first communication unit and the second communication unit interact on the docking status. If effective interaction is achieved between the first communication unit and the second communication unit, the docking is effective and step S2 is entered.

[0042] If the interaction between the first communication unit and the second communication unit fails, the docking is invalid, and the controller sends out a device exception signal to terminate the locking and charging operation.

[0043] S2. Locking: The controller sends a locking instruction to the locking module 4, and the locking drive assembly 42 drives the locking tongue 41 to move and extend.

[0044] The locking state detection unit works to detect whether the locking tongue 41 extends in place. If the locking tongue 41 moves in place, the locking operation is completed and step S3 is entered. If the locking tongue 41 does not extend or extends not in place, the locking fails, and the controller sends out a device exception signal to terminate the locking and charging operation.

[0045] S3. Charging: The second communication unit sends the electric bicycle status information to the first communication unit, including the battery level information of the electric bicycle; if the battery level of the electric bicycle is higher than the charging threshold, no charging operation is performed, and the locking and charging operation is completed.

[0046] If the battery level of the electric bicycle is lower than the charging threshold, the controller calculates the required charging amount and sends a charging instruction to the charging module. The charging assembly receives the charging instruction and starts to work. The charging state detection unit works to detect whether the charging assembly and the power receiving assembly are in a power transmission state. If it is detected that the charging assembly and the power receiving assembly have not entered the power transmission state, it is determined that the charging fails, and the controller sends out a device exception signal to terminate the locking and charging operation.

[0047] If it is detected that the charging assembly and the power receiving assembly are in a power transmission state, the charging is successful. The power quantity metering unit, the temperature detection unit, and the voltage detection unit work respectively to monitor the working state of the charging module in real time. When the power quantity metering unit feeds back that the real-time charging amount reaches the required charging amount, the charging module stops working, and the locking and charging operation is completed.

[0048] As Figure 12 As shown in the figure, the method for taking a vehicle of an electric bicycle uses the integrated system for locking and charging an electric bicycle as described above; It includes at least the following steps: S1. Receiving instructions: The user sends a pick-up instruction to the second communication unit, and the second communication unit sends the pick-up instruction and motorcycle status information to the first communication unit, including the motorcycle power information. Specifically, the pick-up instruction can be sent to the second communication unit via the user terminal.

[0049] S21. Power off: If the power level of the motorcycle is less than the vehicle pickup threshold, the controller sends an abnormal signal to terminate the vehicle pickup operation.

[0050] If the power level of the motorcycle is not less than the threshold for picking up the motorcycle, the charging status detection unit works to detect whether the charging component and the power receiving component are in a power transmission state. If the power is cut off between the charging component and the power receiving component, the process directly proceeds to step S22. If the power is still in a power transmission state between the charging component and the power receiving component, the controller sends a power-off command to the charging module, the relay is disconnected, and the charging component stops transmitting power to the power receiving component, and the process proceeds to step S22.

[0051] S22. Unlocking: The controller sends an unlocking command to the vehicle locking module 4, and the vehicle locking drive component 42 drives the lock tongue 41 to move and exit the lock hole. The vehicle locking state detection unit works to detect whether the lock tongue 41 is fully exited. If the lock tongue 41 is fully exited, the unlocking operation is completed. If the lock tongue 41 is not fully exited, or is not fully exited, the unlocking fails, and the controller sends a device abnormality signal to terminate the vehicle pickup operation.

[0052] In short, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
