By way of example only, processor 140 can include a central processing unit (CPU), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), etc., or any combination thereof.
[0032] In some embodiments, processor 140 can be integrally provided inside battery swapping cabinet 120, such as being provided in the battery swapping background of battery swapping cabinet 120. In some embodiments, processor 140 can also be deployed on a remote server.

[0035] It should be noted that the application scenario 100 of the battery swapping cabinet control system is provided only for illustrative purposes and is not intended to limit the scope of the present application. For those of ordinary skill in the art, various modifications or changes can be made according to the description of this specification. For example, the application scenario 100 of the battery swapping cabinet control system may also include a storage device. Again, for example, the application scenario 100 of the battery swapping cabinet control system can implement similar or different functions on other devices. However, these changes and modifications will not deviate from the scope of the present application.
[0036] Figure 2 is an exemplary flowchart of the battery swapping cabinet control method shown in some embodiments of this specification. As Figure 2 shown, process 200 includes steps 210 - step 230. In some embodiments, process 200 can be executed by the battery swapping cabinet control system 600.
[0037] Step 210, perform signal scanning based on a wireless method through the battery swapping cabinet.
[0038] The battery swapping cabinet can perform signal scanning based on a wireless method through its wireless communication module. Exemplarily, the wireless communication methods include communication methods such as Bluetooth, WIFI, RFID, NFC, etc. For specific descriptions of the battery swapping cabinet, reference can be made to Figure 1 and its related descriptions.
[0039] Through signal scanning, the battery swapping cabinet can discover surrounding devices and establish connections with them to achieve communication with other devices. For example, the battery swapping cabinet can establish wireless communication with a terminal device based on signal scanning and send relevant information of the battery swapping cabinet to the terminal device. The relevant information of the battery swapping cabinet may include battery information of the batteries in the compartments, etc.
[0040] In some embodiments, performing signal scanning based on a wireless method through the battery swapping cabinet includes: transmitting a wireless signal through the battery swapping cabinet; and obtaining a prompt signal fed back by the target communication module. Among them, the target communication module includes the passive communication module of the battery to be swapped that is activated within the antenna magnetic field corresponding to the wireless signal.
[0041] The wireless signal is an information signal transmitted through radio waves. In some embodiments, the wireless signal may include a scanning request. Among them, the scanning request refers to a signal used to search for other surrounding devices for device pairing. In some embodiments, the wireless signal may include a radio frequency signal. Among them, the radio frequency signal refers to an electric wave that has been modulated and has a certain transmission frequency.
[0042] In some embodiments, the battery swapping cabinet can transmit wireless signals through a wireless communication module. For example, the battery swapping cabinet can transmit radio frequency signals through an RFID communication module (such as an RFID reader / writer) and form a corresponding antenna magnetic field.
[0043] In some embodiments, a passive communication module is installed on the battery to be swapped, and the target communication module refers to the passive communication module that is activated within the antenna magnetic field corresponding to the wireless signal emitted by the battery swapping cabinet.
[0044] The battery to be swapped refers to a battery with a remaining power less than a preset value. The preset value can be set in advance manually. For example, the preset value can be 10% or 20% of the total power, etc.
[0045] A passive communication module refers to a communication module that can be used without an internal power supply. For example, the passive communication module can be a passive RFID communication module.
[0046] In some embodiments, when the battery swapping cabinet and the passive communication module on the battery to be swapped are within a certain range (such as within the antenna magnetic field corresponding to the wireless signal), the passive communication module can be activated in response to the wireless signal. The activated passive communication module can feedback a prompt signal to the battery swapping cabinet.
[0047] The prompt signal refers to a signal emitted by the battery. For example, a communication signal emitted by the battery to be swapped. In some embodiments, the prompt signal includes the battery information of the battery. In some embodiments, the battery information can include the basic information of the battery.
[0048] The basic information of the battery can reflect information such as the identity information of the battery, the remaining power of the battery, the usage time of the battery, and whether the battery is faulty. In some embodiments, the basic information of the battery can include a battery code. The battery code can characterize the identity information of the battery, that is, the battery ID. In some embodiments, the battery code can be set at the time of factory.
[0049] In some embodiments, the basic information of the battery can further include a safety index value. The safety index value can be used to determine whether the battery is faulty. For example, when the safety index value is lower than a preset safety value, it indicates that the battery is faulty.
[0050] In some embodiments, the safety index value can be determined based on various methods. For example, the safety index value can be characterized based on the degree of battery heating. For example, there is a corresponding relationship between the safety index value and the battery temperature. For example, the higher the battery temperature (such as higher than a preset temperature threshold), the lower the safety index value. The battery temperature can be obtained based on a temperature sensor, etc.
[0051] In some embodiments, the safety index value can also be determined based on other methods, such as based on the power consumption rate of the battery. The faster the power consumption rate of the battery, the faster the safety index value decreases. The power consumption rate of the battery can be determined based on the usage record data of the battery.
[0052] In some embodiments, the basic information of the battery can also include the size information of the battery. The size information of the battery refers to the information related to the shape and size of the battery, such as the size of the battery, etc. In some embodiments, the size information of the battery can be determined based on the factory information of the battery.
[0053] In some embodiments, the battery information can also include the attribution information of the battery. The attribution information of the battery can include information such as the operator to which the battery belongs and the current ownership of the battery. Among them, the current ownership of the battery refers to whether the battery currently belongs to an individual or a battery swapping cabinet. When the battery is in use and the current ownership of the battery is an individual, the current ownership of the battery also includes the current bound user of the battery; when the battery is charging in the battery swapping cabinet, the current ownership of the battery is the battery swapping cabinet.
[0054] The operator to which the battery belongs refers to the supplier to which the battery belongs. In some embodiments, the operator to which the battery belongs can be manually input in advance.
[0055] The current bound user of the battery refers to the user currently bound to the battery in the battery operation system. Exemplary binding methods can include binding the battery code with the user code, etc. In some embodiments, the current bound user of the battery can be obtained from the battery operation system based on the battery ID.
[0056] In some embodiments, when the battery to be replaced is within the antenna magnetic field corresponding to the wireless signal, the passive communication module on the battery to be replaced is activated, so that it can communicate with the wireless communication module of the battery swapping cabinet, and the wireless communication module can obtain the prompt signal fed back by the passive communication module.
[0057] Merely as an example, the battery swapping cabinet can transmit a radio frequency signal via an antenna through an RFID reader. When the battery to be replaced is within the antenna magnetic field corresponding to the radio frequency signal, the loop antenna of the passive RFID tag disposed on the battery to be replaced will receive the radio frequency signal and be activated. At this time, the passive RFID tag will transmit the stored information and / or data back to the RFID reader in the form of a feedback signal, that is, the RFID reader can obtain the prompt signal fed back by the passive RFID tag.
[0058] In some embodiments, the battery swapping background can continuously perform signal scanning and receive the prompt signals fed back by the target communication modules within a certain range around.
[0059] In some embodiments of this specification, by using a passive communication module to achieve communication between the battery to be replaced and the battery swapping cabinet, it is beneficial to reduce communication costs while ensuring the communication effect.
[0060] For more content on how to perform signal scanning based on a wireless method, reference can be made to Figure 3 and its related descriptions.
[0061] Step 220: In response to scanning the prompt signal of the battery to be replaced, perform an authentication operation based on the prompt signal.
[0062] The authentication operation refers to the related operation for determining whether the battery to be replaced is a rechargeable battery object of the battery swapping cabinet. The rechargeable battery object of the battery swapping cabinet needs to meet certain preset conditions. For example, the preset conditions may include that the battery to be replaced belongs to a preset operator, the size information of the battery to be replaced meets the preset size requirements, etc.
[0063] In some embodiments, based on the prompt signal, the battery swapping background can perform the authentication operation in various ways. Exemplary authentication operations may include: the battery swapping background determines the safety index value of the battery to be replaced based on the prompt signal, and determines whether the safety index value of the battery to be replaced is lower than the preset safety value. If the safety index value of the battery to be replaced is not lower than the preset safety value, an authentication passed result is output.
[0064] The authentication passed result refers to the signal indicating that the battery to be replaced is a rechargeable battery object of the battery swapping cabinet after performing the authentication operation based on the prompt signal. For example, the authentication passed result may be an instruction indicating acceptance of charging the battery to be replaced, etc.
[0065] In some embodiments, the battery swapping background can also perform the authentication operation and determine the authentication passed result in other ways. For more descriptions, reference can be made to Figure 5 and its related descriptions.
[0066] Step 230: In response to receiving the battery swapping instruction and the authentication passed result, push out the empty battery compartment through the battery swapping cabinet.
[0067] The battery swapping instruction refers to the request instruction sent by the user to charge the battery to be replaced.
[0068] In some embodiments, the user can send the battery swapping instruction based on various methods.
[0069] In some embodiments, the battery swapping instruction can be generated based on a physical button instruction or an information scanning instruction.
[0070] A physical button instruction refers to a control instruction generated when a user presses a button (such as a battery replacement button) on the battery replacement cabinet. In some embodiments, the button of the battery replacement cabinet is connected to a circuit board, and the circuit board is electrically connected to the battery replacement background (such as a processor in the battery replacement background). When the button is pressed, the battery replacement background can generate a battery replacement instruction in response to the pressing operation of the button.
[0071] In some embodiments of this specification, by generating a battery replacement instruction through a physical button instruction, the battery compartment can only be opened when the user actually needs to replace the battery, which can effectively ensure that the battery compartment will not be randomly opened, causing personal injury or equipment failure, etc. At the same time, it can also achieve one-key opening of the compartment, reducing unnecessary operations of the user.
[0072] An information scanning instruction refers to a control instruction generated based on a terminal device (such as a mobile device) scanning a two-dimensional code or a bar code, etc. In some embodiments, a two-dimensional code or a bar code, etc. is provided on the battery replacement cabinet. When the user scans the two-dimensional code or the bar code, etc. through the terminal device, an information scanning instruction can be generated and sent to the battery replacement background through the network; the battery replacement background can generate a battery replacement instruction in response to receiving the information scanning instruction.
[0073] In some embodiments of this specification, by generating a battery replacement instruction through an information scanning instruction, the accuracy of the battery replacement instruction can be further improved to avoid accidental opening of the compartment door.
[0074] In some embodiments, the battery replacement instruction can also be generated based on any other feasible method. For example, a voice module can be set on the battery replacement cabinet for recognizing the user's voice collected. The user can send a battery replacement instruction by inputting a predetermined opening voice.
[0075] A battery empty compartment refers to a battery compartment of the battery replacement cabinet that does not store a battery. After the battery to be replaced is placed in the battery empty compartment, the battery replacement cabinet can perform operations such as charging the battery to be replaced.
[0076] In some embodiments, after the battery replacement background simultaneously receives the battery replacement instruction and the authentication passed result, it can push out the battery empty compartment through the battery replacement cabinet so that the user can place the battery to be replaced. It can be understood that when the time difference between the battery replacement background obtaining the battery replacement instruction and the authentication passed result is within a preset range, it can be considered that the battery replacement instruction and the authentication passed result are received simultaneously, and one battery replacement instruction corresponds to one authentication passed result.
[0077] The battery replacement cabinet can push out the battery empty compartment in various ways. For example, the battery replacement cabinet can unlock the compartment door of the corresponding battery empty compartment, so that the compartment door automatically pops open for the user to place the battery to be replaced.
[0078] In some embodiments, the battery replacement cabinet can include a pushing device, and the battery replacement background can control the pushing device to push out the battery empty compartment.
[0079] By way of example only, the ejection device may include an electromagnet and a metal elastic member (such as a spring). The metal elastic member is connected to the battery compartment, and the electromagnet is connected to the battery swapping backend. Each battery compartment is provided with an ejection device.
[0080] Under normal circumstances, the circuit between the electromagnet and the battery swapping backend is energized, and an electromagnetic force is generated between the electromagnet and the metal elastic member to cause the electromagnet and the metal elastic member to be tightly attracted; when the battery swapping backend receives a battery swapping instruction and an authentication passed result, if there is an empty battery compartment in the battery swapping cabinet, the battery swapping backend can cut off the power supply to the electromagnet corresponding to the empty battery compartment, the electromagnetic force between the electromagnet and the metal elastic member disappears, and the empty battery compartment is pushed out based on the elastic force of the metal elastic member.
[0081] In some embodiments, each of the multiple battery compartments of the battery swapping cabinet has a battery compartment code, and each battery compartment corresponds to an ejection device. The battery swapping backend can determine whether there is an empty battery compartment in the battery swapping cabinet by judging whether the circuit plugs in the multiple battery compartments of the battery swapping cabinet are all electrically connected to the battery. At the same time, based on the battery compartment code, one or more empty battery compartment codes can be determined, and then an empty battery compartment code is randomly selected from the multiple empty battery compartment codes, and the ejection device corresponding to the empty battery compartment is controlled to move to eject the empty battery compartment. Among them, the battery compartment code can be set in advance.
[0082] It should be noted that the ejection device can also adopt any other feasible structure. For example, the ejection device can adopt a hydraulic pump, etc.
[0083] In some embodiments of this specification, signal scanning based on wireless signals can expand the signal scanning range to obtain the prompt signal of the battery to be swapped as early as possible and perform an authentication operation based on the prompt signal. Then, after the battery swapping cabinet receives a battery swapping instruction and an authentication passed result, the empty battery compartment is ejected, reducing unnecessary operation steps and improving the battery swapping speed.
[0084] In some embodiments, the battery swapping backend can also perform an effectiveness detection on the battery to be swapped placed in the empty battery compartment; and in response to the battery to be swapped passing the effectiveness detection, the used battery is ejected through the battery swapping cabinet.
[0085] The effectiveness detection refers to the detection for judging whether the state of the battery to be swapped is normal. For example, the effectiveness detection can include detecting the basic information, attribution information, etc. of the battery to be swapped.
[0086] In some embodiments, the battery swapping backend can detect the validity of the battery to be swapped placed in the empty battery compartment in various ways. Exemplary detection methods can include appearance detection based on images, etc. For example, the battery swapping backend can determine whether there are appearance defects or damages in the battery to be swapped based on the acquired appearance image of the battery to be swapped. If there are obvious appearance defects such as local depressions in the battery to be swapped, it is considered that the battery to be swapped fails the validity detection.
[0087] In some embodiments, the validity detection of the battery to be swapped by the battery swapping backend can also be implemented based on the following method: The battery swapping backend can obtain the basic information and attribution information of the battery to be swapped; and in response to the basic information of the battery to be swapped meeting the preset information conditions and the attribution information of the battery to be swapped conforming to the preset attribution conditions, it is determined that the battery to be swapped passes the validity detection. For more content about the basic information and attribution information of the battery to be swapped, reference can be made to Figure 2 the relevant descriptions of the basic information and attribution information of the battery in
[0088] The preset information conditions are the conditions that the basic information of the rechargeable battery object should meet.
[0089] In some embodiments, the preset information conditions can include the requirements that the type, parameters, and structure of the battery to be swapped need to meet. Among them, the type of the battery to be swapped refers to the type or model of the battery to be swapped, such as lithium battery, lead-acid battery, etc.; the parameters of the battery to be swapped refer to the parameters related to the battery to be swapped itself, such as battery capacity, maximum charging rate, etc.; the structure of the battery to be swapped can reflect the structure or shape of the battery to be swapped, such as regular or irregular structures like cuboid structure, cube structure, etc.
[0090] The preset attribution conditions refer to the conditions that the attribution information of the rechargeable battery object should meet. In some embodiments, the preset attribution conditions can include that the currently bound user of the battery to be swapped is a normal user. A normal user refers to a user from whose account the battery operator can complete normal deductions later. For more content about the currently bound user of the battery to be swapped, reference can be made to Figure 2 the relevant descriptions of the currently bound user of the battery in
[0091] When the battery to be swapped is in use, the battery to be swapped will only be bound to one user, and when the user completes the battery swapping operation, the user will be bound to the replaced battery for information. For more content about the battery swapping operation and the replaced battery, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions in the following text.
[0092] In some embodiments, the battery swapping backend can compare the basic information of the battery to be swapped with the preset information conditions and the attribution information of the battery to be swapped with the preset attribution conditions. When the basic information of the battery to be swapped conforms to the preset information conditions and the attribution information of the battery to be swapped conforms to the preset attribution conditions, it is determined that the battery to be swapped passes the validity detection.
[0093] In some embodiments of the present specification, by comprehensively detecting the effectiveness of the battery to be replaced based on various information of the battery to be replaced (such as the basic information and attribution information of the battery to be replaced), the accuracy of the detection result can be guaranteed to a certain extent, laying a foundation for ensuring the normal use of the battery swapping cabinet.
[0094] The battery to be replaced is a battery used to replace the battery to be replaced. In some embodiments, the battery to be replaced can be a battery fully charged in the battery compartment or a battery with a remaining power exceeding a preset power value.
[0095] In some embodiments, the battery management system of the battery can sense the state of the battery and determine the remaining power of the battery. The battery swapping background realizes electrical connection with the battery through the circuit connector in the battery compartment to obtain the remaining power of the battery from the battery management system, and then determines the battery to be replaced. Only by way of example, the battery swapping background can determine any one of the batteries with the most remaining power in the battery compartment as the battery to be replaced.
[0096] In some embodiments, in response to the battery to be replaced passing the effectiveness detection, the battery swapping background can push out the battery to be replaced through the battery swapping cabinet. It should be noted that the way the battery swapping background pushes out the battery to be replaced through the battery swapping cabinet is similar to the way of pushing out the empty battery compartment, which will not be elaborated here.
[0097] In some embodiments of the present specification, by detecting the effectiveness of the battery to be replaced placed in the empty battery compartment, it can effectively ensure that the battery to be replaced placed in the empty battery compartment can continue to be used normally, which is beneficial to the sustainable use of the battery swapping cabinet and avoids resource waste; at the same time, by detecting the effectiveness of the battery to be replaced and timely discovering the faults or problems existing in the battery to be replaced, it can be processed in time, which is beneficial to ensuring the user experience and personal safety.
[0098] In some embodiments, process 200 may further include step 240.
[0099] Step 240, in response to completing the battery swapping operation, bind the information of the battery to be replaced with the user.
[0100] The battery swapping operation refers to the related operation in which the user puts the battery to be replaced into the empty battery compartment and takes away the battery to be replaced. In some embodiments, the battery swapping background can confirm that the user has completed the battery swapping operation based on the operations such as the user taking away the battery to be replaced and pushing the battery compartment back to its original position or closing the compartment door.
[0101] Information binding refers to the operation of binding the battery to be replaced with the user. In some embodiments, in response to completing the battery swapping operation, the battery swapping background can upload the battery information of the battery to be replaced to the battery operation system to update the battery information bound to the corresponding user, thereby realizing the information binding between the battery to be replaced and the user.
[0102] During this process, the ownership relationship between the battery and the user changes. For example, before the battery replacement operation, there is a binding relationship between the battery A to be replaced and user 1; after the user completes the battery replacement operation (i.e., the user replaces the battery A to be replaced with the replaced battery B), there is a binding relationship between the replaced battery B and user 1, and the battery A to be replaced belongs to the battery swapping cabinet.
[0103] In some embodiments of this specification, after the user completes the battery replacement operation, binding the information of the replaced battery with the user can update the ownership relationship of the battery in a timely manner, which is beneficial to tracing and investigating the usage situation (such as fault situation) of the battery and reducing the operation cost; at the same time, it is also beneficial to deduct fees based on the usage situation of the battery by the user, ensuring the accuracy and reasonableness of the fee deduction.
[0104] It should be noted that the above description of process 200 is only for illustration and explanation, and does not limit the scope of application of this specification. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and changes can be made to process 200 under the guidance of this specification. However, these modifications and changes are still within the scope of this specification.
[0105] Figure 3 It is an exemplary schematic diagram of the active communication module emitting a prompt signal shown in some embodiments of this specification.
[0106] In some embodiments, the signal scanning based on wireless by the battery swapping cabinet may further include the following content: receiving, by the battery swapping cabinet based on wireless, the prompt signal emitted by the active communication module of the battery to be replaced.
[0107] An active communication module refers to a communication module that requires internal power supply to be used. In some embodiments, the active communication module can be a Bluetooth communication module.
[0108] In some embodiments, the prompt signal is emitted after the battery to be replaced is taken out from the vehicle battery compartment. After the battery to be replaced is taken out from the vehicle battery compartment, the battery to be replaced can actively wake up the active communication module (such as a Bluetooth communication module) to make it emit a prompt signal, so that the battery swapping cabinet can receive this prompt signal. For more content about the prompt signal, reference can be made to Figure 2 and its related descriptions.
[0109] In some embodiments, since the prompt signal is emitted only after the battery to be replaced is taken out from the vehicle battery compartment, it is possible to avoid the battery swapping cabinet receiving too many invalid prompt signals. For example, it is possible to avoid the battery swapping cabinet receiving the prompt signals emitted by the batteries without battery replacement requirements in the vehicle battery compartment, thereby reducing the amount of signals that the battery swapping cabinet needs to process and improving the signal processing efficiency of the battery swapping cabinet.
[0110] In some embodiments, the active communication module is further configured to emit a position prompt signal.
[0111] The location prompt signal refers to an information signal that can reflect the location of the battery to be replaced. In some embodiments, the battery replacement backend can determine the distance between the battery to be replaced and the battery replacement cabinet based on the strength of the received location prompt signal, and then perform a preliminary positioning of the battery to be replaced. For example, the stronger the location prompt signal, the closer the distance between the battery to be replaced and the battery replacement cabinet.
[0112] In some embodiments, based on the location prompt signal sent by the active communication module, the battery can be located and tracked to avoid battery loss.
[0113] In some embodiments, based on the location prompt signal sent by the active communication module, the battery replacement background can determine whether the battery to be replaced is within a safe range, so as to determine whether the empty battery compartment can be pushed out.
[0114] For example, after the battery swap backend receives the battery swap command and the authentication result, it will push the empty battery compartment only when it further determines that the location prompt signal strength meets the preset strength condition. Among them, when the prompt signal strength meets the preset strength condition, it indicates that the battery to be replaced is within the preset distance near the battery swap cabinet.
[0115] It should be noted that the active communication module can send a location prompt signal after the battery to be replaced is taken out of the vehicle's battery compartment, and can also continuously broadcast the location prompt signal within the vehicle's battery compartment.
[0116] In some embodiments of this specification, the distance between the battery and the battery swap cabinet is judged based on the strength of the position prompt signal sent by the active communication module to further locate the battery. At the same time, it is also possible to determine whether to eject the empty battery compartment based on the strength of the position prompt signal, which can reduce the risk of property loss caused by premature opening of the battery compartment.
[0117] Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle battery compartment according to some embodiments of this specification.
[0118] In some embodiments, the vehicle battery compartment includes a shielding component and a trigger. When the battery to be replaced is removed from the vehicle battery compartment, the trigger moves to release the shielding component from the passive communication module. For more information about the passive communication module, please refer to Figures 1 - 2 and its related description.
[0119] It can be understood that when the battery to be replaced is moved out of the vehicle's battery compartment, the movement of the trigger component can release the shielding component's signal shielding of the passive communication module, thereby enabling the passive communication module to communicate with the battery swap cabinet (such as a wireless communication module).
[0120] The shielding component refers to a structural component used to shield the signal of the passive communication module of the battery to be replaced in the vehicle battery compartment. The shielding component can be designed into a variety of structures, including but not limited to a U-shaped structure. In some embodiments, the shielding component can be an integral structure or a split structure. In some embodiments, the shielding component can be made of metal materials (such as iron, steel, copper, etc.), carbon fiber materials, etc. In some embodiments, the shielding component can be arranged on the side wall of the vehicle battery compartment.
[0121] The trigger component refers to a structural component used to trigger or release the shielding component from shielding the signal of the passive communication module. The trigger component can be designed in a variety of structural shapes, such as a rectangular parallelepiped, a rod, or other shapes. In some embodiments, the material of the trigger component and the shielding component can be the same or different.
[0122] In some embodiments, the vehicle battery compartment may further include an elastic member. Exemplary elastic members include, but are not limited to, springs, etc. In some embodiments, the trigger member may be disposed in the shielding assembly, and one end of the trigger member may be connected to the shielding assembly via the elastic member. In some embodiments, a plurality of rollers may be disposed at the bottom end of the trigger member to facilitate sliding in the shielding assembly.
[0123] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of a vehicle battery compartment. The above embodiment can be implemented in various feasible ways and is not limited thereto. Figure 4 As shown, the vehicle battery compartment 40 includes a shielding component 41 , a trigger component 42 , an elastic component 43 and a roller 44 ; a battery 45 to be replaced with a passive communication module 451 can be installed in the vehicle battery compartment 40 .
[0124] like Figure 4 As shown, when the battery to be replaced 45 is located in the vehicle battery compartment 40, the passive communication module 451 is in the cavity of the shielding component 41, and under the elastic force of the elastic member 43, the trigger member 42 can at least partially contact the top of the battery to be replaced 45, so that the passive communication module 451 is in the closed cavity space formed by the shielding component 41 and the trigger member 42, thereby achieving signal shielding of the passive communication module 451.
[0125] When the battery 45 to be replaced needs to be removed from the vehicle battery compartment 40, the staff can push the trigger member 42 to move into the shielding assembly 41, so that the elastic member 43 is compressed, thereby achieving the removal of the battery 45 to be replaced. When the battery 45 to be replaced is removed from the vehicle battery compartment 40, since the trigger member 42 moves into the shielding assembly 41, the shielding assembly 41 and the trigger member 42 cannot form a closed space, thereby releasing the shielding assembly 41 from the passive communication module 451.
[0126] In some embodiments, the battery swapping backend can determine the position status of the battery to be swapped and / or the battery being swapped based on the signal detection results of the passive communication module of the battery to be swapped and / or the battery being swapped.
[0127] The signal detection result refers to the result generated by the battery swapping cabinet detecting the signal of the passive communication module of the battery to be swapped and / or the battery being swapped. For example, the signal detection result may include detecting a signal or not detecting a signal.
[0128] In some embodiments, the battery swapping backend can perform signal scanning on the passive communication module of the battery to be swapped and / or the battery being swapped in a wireless manner to determine the signal detection result. For example, when the wireless communication module of the battery swapping cabinet scans the prompt signal of the battery to be swapped, it is considered that a signal has been detected. For the specific description of how to perform signal scanning in a wireless manner, reference can be made to Figure 2 and its related description.
[0129] The position status of the battery can reflect the positional relationship between the battery (the battery to be swapped or the battery being swapped) and the vehicle battery compartment. The positional relationship may include being inside the vehicle battery compartment and being outside the vehicle battery compartment.
[0130] In some embodiments, since the vehicle battery compartment includes a shielding component that can shield the signal of the passive communication module, the battery swapping backend can determine that the battery is outside the vehicle battery compartment in response to the signal detection result of the passive communication module of the battery being detected; and determine that the battery is inside the vehicle battery compartment in response to the signal detection result of the passive communication module of the battery not being detected.
[0131] In some embodiments of this specification, by detecting the signal of the passive communication module of the battery to be swapped and / or the battery being swapped, it is possible to effectively determine whether the battery to be swapped and / or the battery being swapped is inside the vehicle battery compartment, which can avoid battery loss to a certain extent, thereby ensuring the sustainable use of the battery and reducing the operating cost.
[0132] Figure 5 is an exemplary schematic diagram of the authentication operation shown in some embodiments of this specification.
[0133] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 shown, the battery swapping backend can determine the operator 521 to which the battery to be swapped belongs based on the prompt signal 510; and output an authentication passed result 530 in response to the operator 521 to which the battery to be swapped belongs being a preset operator.
[0134] For more content about the prompt signal, the operator to which the battery belongs, and the authentication passed result, reference can be made to Figure 2 and its related description.
[0135] A preset operator refers to an operator that is preset. In some embodiments, the preset operator can be obtained through manual input. For example, manually set in advance through a terminal device, etc.
[0136] In some embodiments, the battery swapping background can determine whether the operator to which the battery to be swapped belongs is a preset operator by comparing the operator to which the battery to be swapped belongs with the list of preset operators. When the operator to which the battery to be swapped belongs is a preset operator, the battery swapping background outputs an instruction corresponding to the authentication passed result.
[0137] In some embodiments, if the battery to be swapped fails the authentication operation, the battery swapping background can also feedback the failed result and reason prompt, etc. to the terminal device (such as a mobile device) through a network or other means. For example, the battery swapping background can feedback prompt information such as "inconsistent battery operator" to the mobile device so that the user can know the reason for the failure.
[0138] In some embodiments of this specification, by determining whether the operator to which the battery to be swapped belongs is a preset operator, it is possible to avoid abnormal operation or charging of the battery swapping cabinet in response to the battery swapping request of a battery to be swapped of other operators, so as to ensure the stable operation of the battery swapping cabinet.
[0139] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 shown, the authentication operation may further include the following content: the battery swapping background further determines the current bound user 522 of the battery to be swapped based on the prompt signal 510; and in response to the operator 521 to which the battery to be swapped belongs being a preset operator and the current bound user 522 of the battery to be swapped being a normal user, outputs an authentication passed result 530.
[0140] For more content about the current bound user and normal user of the battery, reference can be made to Figure 2 and its related descriptions. For the content about determining whether the operator to which the battery to be swapped belongs is a preset operator, refer to the foregoing text.
[0141] In some embodiments, the battery swapping background can determine whether the current bound user of the battery to be swapped is a normal user by comparing the current bound user of the battery to be swapped with the list of normal users.
[0142] In some embodiments, on the basis that the operator to which the battery to be swapped belongs is a preset operator, the battery swapping background can further determine whether the current bound user of the battery to be swapped is a normal user by comparing the current bound user of the battery to be swapped with the list of normal users. When the operator to which the battery to be swapped belongs is a preset operator and the current bound user of the battery to be swapped is a normal user, the battery swapping background can output an instruction corresponding to the authentication passed result.
[0143] In some embodiments, if the battery to be replaced fails the authentication operation, the battery swapping backend can also feedback the failure result and reason prompt to the terminal device (such as a mobile device) through the network or other means. For example, if the operator to which the battery to be replaced belongs meets the preset operator, but due to the current bound user being an abnormal user, the battery to be replaced fails the authentication operation, the battery swapping backend can feedback prompt information such as "abnormal binding of battery user" to the mobile device to remind the user to process the binding abnormality in time (such as completing the previous payment, etc.).
[0144] In some embodiments of this specification, by further determining whether the currently bound user of the battery to be replaced is a normal user, it can effectively ensure that the system can successfully complete subsequent services (such as deduction operations) to protect the rights and interests of the operator.
[0145] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 shown, the authentication operation may further include the following: the battery swapping backend determines the size information 523 of the battery to be replaced based on the prompt signal 510; and in response to the size information 523 of the battery to be replaced meeting the preset size requirements and the working state 524 of the battery swapping cabinet meeting the preset state, outputs an authentication passed result 530.
[0146] The size information of the battery to be replaced refers to the information related to the shape and size of the battery to be replaced, such as the size of the battery to be replaced, etc. In some embodiments, the size information of the battery to be replaced can be determined through the basic information of the battery in the prompt signal.
[0147] The preset size requirements refer to the size information that the battery to be replaced should meet, which is preset in advance. In some embodiments, the preset size requirements can be set manually in advance.
[0148] The working state of the battery swapping cabinet can reflect the actual working conditions of the battery swapping cabinet. For example, the working state of the battery swapping cabinet can include the running situation of the battery swapping cabinet (or battery compartment), the battery empty compartment situation of the battery swapping cabinet, etc.
[0149] In some embodiments, the battery swapping backend can determine the working state of the battery swapping cabinet in various ways. For example, the battery swapping backend can judge the working state of the battery swapping cabinet based on whether the circuit plugs in the battery compartment are powered on. Only as an example, when all the circuit plugs in the battery compartments can be normally powered on, it indicates that the battery swapping cabinet can operate normally, that is, all the battery compartments can operate normally; while when some of the circuit plugs in the battery compartments cannot be normally powered on, it indicates that these battery compartments cannot operate normally. Another example is that when all the circuit plugs in the battery compartments are electrically connected to the battery, it indicates that there is no battery empty compartment in the battery swapping cabinet.
[0150] The preset state is the working state that the battery swapping cabinet should meet when it can accept the charging task of the battery to be replaced. For example, the preset state can include that there is a battery empty compartment in the battery swapping cabinet and this battery empty compartment can operate normally.
[0151] In some embodiments, the battery swap backend can compare the size information of the battery to be replaced with the preset size requirements, and the working state of the battery swap cabinet with the preset state to determine whether the size information of the battery to be replaced meets the preset size requirements and whether the working state of the battery swap cabinet meets the preset state. When the size information of the battery to be replaced meets the preset size requirements and the working state of the battery swap cabinet meets the preset state, the battery swap backend outputs the instruction corresponding to the authentication result.
[0152] In some embodiments, if the authentication operation fails, the battery swap backend can also feedback the failure result and reason prompt to the terminal device (such as a mobile device) through the network or other means. For example, the battery swap backend can feedback prompt information such as "insufficient storage space" to the mobile device so that the user can find another battery swap cabinet again.
[0153] In some embodiments of the present specification, by judging whether the size information of a battery to be replaced meets the preset size requirements, it is possible to avoid placing a battery to be replaced that does not match the size in a battery swap cabinet, causing abnormal charging or inability to place the battery to be replaced. By judging whether the working state of the battery swap cabinet meets the preset state, the battery swap cabinet or battery compartment can be pre-judged, which can effectively avoid situations such as the battery compartment being unable to charge that may occur during the user's battery swap operation, thereby helping to enhance the user experience and improve battery swap efficiency.
[0154] Figure 6 It is an exemplary module diagram of a power exchange cabinet control system according to some embodiments of this specification.

The target communication module includes the passive communication module of the battery to be replaced that is activated within the antenna magnetic field corresponding to the wireless signal.
[0160] In some embodiments, the authentication operation execution module 620 may be configured to perform an authentication operation based on the prompt signal in response to scanning the prompt signal of the battery to be replaced.
[0161] In some embodiments, the authentication operation execution module 620 may further be configured to: determine the operator to which the battery to be replaced belongs based on the prompt signal; and output an authentication passed result in response to the operator belonging to a preset operator.
[0162] In some embodiments, the authentication operation execution module 620 may further be configured to: further determine the currently bound user of the battery to be replaced based on the prompt signal; and output an authentication passed result in response to the operator belonging to a preset operator and the currently bound user being a normal user.
[0163] In some embodiments, the battery empty bin pushing module 630 may be configured to push out the battery empty bin through the battery swapping cabinet in response to receiving a battery swapping instruction and an authentication passed result.
[0164] In some embodiments, the battery swapping cabinet control system 600 may further include an information binding module 640.
[0165] In some embodiments, the information binding module 640 may be configured to bind the battery to be replaced with the user in response to completion of the battery swapping operation.
[0166] For more descriptions of any of the technical solutions of the battery swapping cabinet control method executed by the battery swapping cabinet control system, reference may be made to Figures 1 - 5 and its related descriptions.
[0167] It should be noted that the above descriptions of the battery swapping cabinet control system 600 and its modules are only for convenience of description and do not limit this specification within the scope of the examples given. It can be understood that for those skilled in the art, after understanding the principle of the system, they may, without departing from this principle, make any combination of the modules, or form a subsystem and connect it with other modules. In some embodiments, Figure 6The signal scanning module 610, authentication operation execution module 620, battery empty bin ejection module 630, and information binding module 640 disclosed herein may be different modules in a system, or a single module may implement the functions of two or more of the above modules. For example, each module may share a storage module, or each module may have its own storage module. Such variations are all within the scope of protection of this specification.

[0170] The beneficial effects of the battery swapping cabinet control method, system, device, and medium provided in this specification may include, but are not limited to: (1) In some embodiments of this specification, by generating a battery swapping instruction through a physical button instruction, the battery bin can only be opened when the user actually needs to swap the battery, effectively ensuring that the battery bin will not be randomly opened, causing personal injury or equipment failure; and by generating a battery swapping instruction through an information scanning instruction, multiple service methods can be provided to the user, facilitating the user's selection and enhancing the user experience; (2) By emitting a position prompt signal through an active communication module and judging the distance between the battery to be swapped and the battery swapping cabinet based on the strength of the position prompt signal, the positioning effect of the battery can be further achieved, reducing the risk of battery loss; (3) By judging whether the operator to which the battery to be swapped belongs is a preset operator, it is possible to prevent the battery swapping cabinet from responding to the battery swapping request of a battery to be swapped of another operator, ensuring the stable operation of the battery swapping cabinet; (4) By further judging whether the currently bound user of the battery to be swapped is a normal user, it is possible to effectively ensure that the system can successfully complete the deduction operation, protecting the interests of the operator; (5) Signal scanning based on wireless signals can expand the signal scanning range, enabling the prompt signal of the battery to be swapped to be obtained as early as possible and performing an authentication operation based on the prompt signal. Then, after the battery swapping cabinet (such as the battery swapping background) receives the battery swapping instruction and the authentication passed result, it ejects the empty battery bin, reducing unnecessary operation steps, improving the battery swapping speed, and enhancing the user experience; (6) After the user completes the battery swapping operation, binding the battery to be replaced with the user can timely update the ownership relationship of the battery, facilitating the tracing and cause analysis of the usage situation of the battery (such as the fault situation), reducing the operation cost; at the same time, it is also beneficial to perform deductions based on the user's usage situation of the battery, ensuring the accuracy and reasonableness of the deductions.
[0171] The basic concepts have been described above. Obviously, for those skilled in the art, the above detailed disclosure is merely an example and does not constitute a limitation to this specification. Although not explicitly stated here, those skilled in the art may make various modifications, improvements, and corrections to this specification.
