[0002] In the current battery swapping scenario, when a driver needs to go to a battery swapping station to swap the battery of a vehicle, generally, the vehicle is driven into the nearest battery swapping station for battery swapping operation according to actual needs; the driver generally determines the number of battery swapping vehicles parked in the arrived battery swapping station by visual inspection to roughly determine whether queuing is needed or roughly determine the expected waiting time according to actual experience; however, since this estimation method is relatively rough, the estimated time often has a large deviation from the actual waiting time. In addition, especially for novice drivers, it is simply impossible to anticipate the waiting time, thus resulting in a poor battery swapping experience for the driver. Summary of the Invention

[0111] The present disclosure will be further described below by way of examples, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0112] Embodiment 1

[0113] As Figure 1As shown in the figure, the method for estimating the vehicle battery swapping time in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0114] S101. Determine the vehicle to enter the station;

[0115] Among them, the vehicle to enter the station includes the first type of vehicle, and the first type of vehicle is the vehicle that is on the way to the target battery swapping station;

[0116] Specifically, to determine the target battery swapping station, based on the relevant information of a certain vehicle (including the latitude and longitude information, address information, etc. of the vehicle), obtain the list of battery swapping stations around the vehicle, and then determine it by using certain screening rules. For example, select the battery swapping station with a distance less than the shortest or less than the set distance as the target battery swapping station; or randomly select any battery swapping station within the set range to obtain the target battery swapping station, etc.

[0117] In addition, based on the navigation data, data in the battery swapping APP (application program), etc., it can be determined whether any vehicle is on the way to the target battery swapping station.

[0118] S102. Obtain the first estimated time for each first type of vehicle to reach the target battery swapping station;

[0119] For example, based on the real-time position of the first type of vehicle and the position of the target battery swapping station, determine the distance between the vehicle and the target battery swapping station, and combine the vehicle driving speed, road conditions, etc. to automatically determine the estimated time required for the vehicle to drive to the target battery swapping station.

[0120] S103. Obtain the number of vehicles in the station;

[0121] Among them, the vehicles in the station are the vehicles waiting for battery swapping at the target battery swapping station;

[0122] Specifically, when each vehicle drives into the target battery swapping station and drives out of the target battery swapping station, the counting device can automatically perform addition and subtraction counting to statistically obtain the number of vehicles waiting for battery swapping in real time at the target battery swapping station; it can also collect the scene image through the image acquisition device of the battery swapping station to automatically identify the number of vehicles waiting for battery swapping in real time at the target battery swapping station. Of course, other feasible methods can also be used, which will not be elaborated here.

[0123] S104. Obtain the first estimated sorting for the target vehicle to swap batteries at the target battery swapping station according to the number of vehicles in the station and the first estimated time;

[0124] Specifically, jointly consider the impact of the vehicles already parked in the target battery swapping station waiting for battery swapping and all the vehicles that are navigating to the target battery swapping station, so as to determine whether the target vehicle needs to queue at the target battery swapping station and, if so, the corresponding queuing order, so that the user can clearly know their queuing situation in the battery swapping queue at the target battery swapping station, and then facilitate the user to determine whether to continue to go to the target battery swapping station for battery swapping or make other arrangements in advance, thereby enhancing the user's battery swapping experience.

[0125] S105. Obtain the status of the available batteries at the target battery swapping station;

[0126] Specifically, count the available batteries corresponding to each battery type at the target battery swapping station. The remaining situation of these available batteries greatly affects the battery swapping waiting time of the battery swapping vehicles.

[0127] S106. Obtain the first estimated battery swapping time of the target vehicle according to the first estimated sorting and the status of the available batteries.

[0128] The estimated battery swapping time obtained by the vehicle battery swapping time estimation scheme in this embodiment will be promptly pushed through the APP installed in the intelligent terminal of the battery swapping user, so that the user can timely obtain the corresponding time information.

[0129] In this solution, automatically calculate the first estimated time required for all the vehicles traveling to the target battery swapping station, and combine the number of vehicles waiting for battery swapping in the target battery swapping station to determine whether the target vehicle needs to queue or the queuing order after arriving at the target battery swapping station; at the same time, combine the specific situation of the available batteries in the target battery swapping station to jointly determine the first estimated battery swapping time corresponding to the target vehicle after arriving at the target battery swapping station, that is, comprehensively consider the influencing factors of the battery swapping waiting time in the target battery swapping station, ensure that the user can clearly know in advance the battery swapping queuing situation and the battery swapping waiting time in the target battery swapping station, and let the user have a clear psychological expectation for the possible queuing time, that is, inform the user of more available information, rather than being unable to anticipate the battery swapping waiting time, thereby effectively enhancing the user's battery swapping experience.

[0164] In this solution, in addition to determining whether the target vehicle needs to queue at the target battery replacement station based on the second estimated sorting and, if so, the corresponding queuing order, so that the user can clearly know their queuing situation in the battery replacement queue at the target battery replacement station; at the same time, combining the number of fully charged batteries in the target battery replacement station and the third estimated time for the battery being charged to complete charging to jointly determine the estimated battery replacement time corresponding to the target vehicle after arriving at the target battery replacement station, ensuring that the user can clearly know in advance the battery replacement queuing situation and the battery replacement waiting duration at the target battery replacement station, giving the user a clear psychological expectation of the possible queuing time, thereby effectively improving the user's battery replacement experience.

[0165] In an implementable solution, the step of obtaining the third estimated time for the battery being charged to complete charging specifically includes:

[0166] Obtain the third estimated time based on the current power, full power, and charging conditions of the battery being charged.

[0167] In this solution, based on the power difference between the actual power and the full power of each charging battery, combined with the actual charging parameters (such as charging voltage, charging current, etc.), automatically and accurately calculate the duration required for each charging battery to be fully charged, so as to ensure the timeliness and accuracy of the subsequent estimated battery replacement time of the target vehicle.

[0168] In an implementable solution, step S101 includes:

[0169] Obtain the first estimated time based on the length and road conditions of the driving route of the first type of vehicle navigating to the target battery replacement station.

[0170] In this solution, based on the map navigation information of each first - type vehicle navigating to the target battery swapping station, the driving distance between the vehicle and the target battery swapping station and the overall road conditions are determined to automatically calculate the time expected for the vehicle to reach the target battery swapping station. Of course, according to the actual situation, other influencing factors in the actual scenario can also be combined to jointly determine this first expected time to ensure the accuracy of the determination of the first expected time.

[0171] In an implementable solution, the first battery swapping estimated time is the time when the target vehicle starts battery swapping.

[0172] Or, the first battery swapping estimated time is the time when the target vehicle completes battery swapping.

[0173] In this solution, the first battery swapping estimated time is sent to the user, enabling the user to clearly know when battery swapping can be expected to be carried out or when it can be completed, with a clear psychological expectation, thus effectively enhancing the user's battery swapping experience.

[0174] In an implementable solution, the first battery swapping estimated time is the time interval between the time when the target vehicle completes battery swapping and the current time.

[0175] Among them, when Tc > TL, the first battery swapping estimated time Ta = Td + Tc; when Tc ≤ TL, then Ta = Td + TL.

[0176] Among them, Td represents the expected time taken for the target vehicle to reach the target battery swapping station, and the expected time is corresponding to the first expected time of the target vehicle.

[0177] TL = (L + Ls) * Th, where TL represents the expected queuing time of the target vehicle at the target battery swapping station, (L + Ls) ≤ represents the first expected sorting, L represents the number of vehicles in the station, Ls represents the number of vehicles waiting to enter the station whose first expected time is earlier than that of the target vehicle, and Th represents the time taken for a single battery swapping operation.

[0178] Tc represents the target charging time, which is the time required to charge the target battery to a full - charge state. The target battery is the battery expected to be used for battery swapping of the target vehicle according to the first expected sorting. Among them, when (L + Ls) ≤ Bu, then Tc = 0; when Bu < (L + Ls) < (Bu + Bc), then Tc = Bs * Tctb; when (L + Ls) < (Bu + Bc), then Tc = Tctb, where Bu represents the number of fully - charged batteries among the available batteries, Bc represents the number of batteries being charged among the available batteries, Tctb represents the charging time required for the available battery to be charged from zero to full, and Bs represents the percentage of the remaining power of the target battery currently.

[0179] In this solution, the distance from the user's current location to the target swapping station and the estimated time required to reach the target swapping station are obtained. At the same time, based on the vehicles currently navigating to the target swapping station in the server, the vehicles currently preparing to navigate to the target swapping station, the vehicles queuing in the target swapping station, the remaining available batteries of the vehicle in the target swapping station, the number of batteries being charged, and the estimated time to charge to the available capacity, etc., it is accurately calculated whether the target vehicle needs to queue up after arrival and the queuing time, that is, the estimated swapping time corresponding to the target vehicle after arriving at the target swapping station is jointly determined, ensuring that the user can clearly know in advance the swapping queuing situation and the swapping waiting duration in the target swapping station, enabling the user to have a clear psychological expectation of the possible queuing time, thereby effectively improving the user's swapping experience.

[0180] In an implementable solution, the vehicles waiting to enter the station are vehicles using the same target model of battery, and the available batteries are batteries of the target model.

[0181] Specifically, in the server, by obtaining the navigation information corresponding to several vehicles, if it is determined that the destinations of several vehicles are all heading to the target swapping station during the same time period, then the vehicle model information and the battery model information used by these vehicles are continuously obtained, and these vehicles with the same battery model information are used as the vehicles waiting to enter the station.

[0182] In this solution, for the target vehicle, only the status of the available batteries in the target swapping station that are consistent with the battery model installed in it will affect the swapping waiting of the target vehicle. Therefore, only the status of the available batteries in the target swapping station that are consistent with the battery model installed in the target vehicle needs to be considered, and then the estimated swapping time corresponding to the target vehicle is obtained by combining the expected sorting situation, ensuring the effectiveness and accuracy of obtaining the estimated swapping time.

[0183] In an implementable solution, in this embodiment, a list can also be displayed on the display screen in the target swapping station, showing the estimated swapping waiting time of each swapping vehicle, so as to facilitate the user to directly view, further improving the user's swapping experience.

[0186] A vehicle determination module 1, configured to determine the vehicles waiting to enter the station;

[0187] Among them, the vehicles waiting to enter the station include the first type of vehicles, and the first type of vehicles are the vehicles that are on the way to the target swapping station;

[0188] Specifically, the determination of the target swapping station can be based on the relevant information of a certain vehicle (including the longitude and latitude information, address information, etc. of the vehicle), obtain the list of swapping stations around the vehicle, and then determine it using certain screening rules. For example, select the swapping station with a distance less than the shortest or less than the set distance as the target swapping station; or randomly select any swapping station within the set range to obtain the target swapping station, etc.

[0189] In addition, based on navigation data, data in the swapping APP (application program), etc., it can be determined whether any vehicle is on the way to the target swapping station.

[0190] The first estimated time acquisition module 2 is used to acquire the first estimated time for each first type of vehicle to reach the target swapping station;

[0191] For example, based on the real-time position of the first type of vehicle and the position of the target swapping station, determine the distance between the vehicle and the target swapping station, and combine the vehicle driving speed, road conditions, etc. to automatically determine the time required for the vehicle to drive to the target swapping station.

[0192] The vehicle quantity acquisition module 3 is used to acquire the quantity of vehicles in the station;

[0193] Among them, the in-station vehicles are the vehicles waiting for swapping at the target swapping station;

[0194] Specifically, when each vehicle drives into the target swapping station and drives out of the target swapping station, the counting device can automatically increase or decrease the count to statistically obtain the quantity of vehicles waiting for swapping in real time at the target swapping station; it can also collect the scene image through the image acquisition device of the swapping station to automatically identify the quantity of vehicles waiting for swapping in real time at the target swapping station. Of course, other feasible methods can also be used, which will not be elaborated here.

[0195] The first estimated sorting acquisition module 4 is used to obtain the first estimated sorting for the target vehicle to swap power at the target swapping station according to the quantity of in-station vehicles and the first estimated time;

[0199] The first estimated time acquisition module 6 is configured to obtain the first battery swapping estimated time of the target vehicle according to the first predicted sorting and the status of the available batteries.

[0200] The estimation scheme for the vehicle battery swapping time in this embodiment is completed in the server, and the obtained battery swapping estimated time in the server will be timely pushed through the APP installed in the intelligent terminal of the battery swapping user, so that the user can timely learn the corresponding time information.

[0201] In this solution, the first predicted time required for all vehicles going to the target battery swapping station is automatically calculated, and combined with the number of vehicles waiting for battery swapping in the target battery swapping station, it is determined whether the target vehicle needs to queue or the queuing order after arriving at the target battery swapping station; at the same time, combined with the specific situation of the available batteries in the target battery swapping station, the first battery swapping estimated time corresponding to the target vehicle after arriving at the target battery swapping station is jointly determined, that is, all the influencing factors of the battery swapping waiting time in the target battery swapping station are comprehensively considered, ensuring that the user can clearly know in advance the battery swapping queuing situation and the battery swapping waiting time in the target battery swapping station, giving the user a clear psychological expectation of the possible queuing time, that is, informing the user of more available information, rather than being unable to predict the battery swapping waiting time, thus effectively improving the user's battery swapping experience.
