Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of charging piles, and in particular to a charging pile operation and management platform. Background Art

[0002] The charging pile operation and management platform is a system based on the Internet of Things, big data and cloud computing technologies. It is used to centrally manage and monitor the operating status, charging process and user interaction of charging piles. It connects charging pile equipment, user-end applications and background management systems to realize functions such as remote equipment monitoring, fault diagnosis, charging scheduling, billing settlement, and data analysis. The platform not only provides users with actual charging services, but also provides operators with equipment operation and maintenance, user management, revenue analysis and operational decision support, thereby improving the utilization efficiency and service quality of charging facilities and promoting the intelligent development of the electric vehicle charging industry.

[0003] When users make reservations for charging piles, they may easily make reservations that are insufficient or too long due to a lack of accurate estimation of charging time or unclear planning of time intervals. Insufficient reservation time may result in forced termination of charging before it is completed, affecting vehicle range and travel arrangements; while too long a reservation time may occupy charging pile resources, preventing other users from using the equipment in a timely manner, reducing equipment utilization. In addition, frequent time planning errors will increase the complexity of user operations, reduce the platform usage experience, and may even trigger user complaints, affecting the platform's reputation and operational efficiency.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0048] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of the charging pile operation and management platform of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and those skilled in the art may conceive of other obvious variations.

[0050] like Figure 1 The charging pile operation and management platform shown includes a server and a user terminal, and also includes:

[0051] Several charging piles, including fast charging piles and slow charging piles, each of which is suitable for two parking spaces;

[0052] The reservation module is used to store the reservation time information and idle time interval of the charging pile;

[0053] A judgment module is used to obtain the remaining power and charging mode information from the user end, the charging mode information including the expected charging power or the expected charging time t1, calculate the calculated charging time or the expected charging end power of the fast charging pile and the slow charging pile based on the remaining power and charging mode information, and send it to the user end;

[0054] The selection module is used to push the idle time intervals of each charging pile to the user terminal, and is also used to obtain confirmation information from the user terminal, including slow charging confirmation or fast charging confirmation, and select the recommended charging pile based on the confirmation information and the idle time interval and the calculated charging time or estimated charging time t1, and send it to the user terminal;

[0055] The reservation module is also used to obtain the charging pile selection information from the user, as well as the estimated charging time t1 or calculated charging time, generate user reservation information, and then recalculate and overwrite the reservation time information and idle time interval;

[0056] When users reserve charging stations, they often lack accurate estimates of charging time or have unclear time intervals, which can lead to insufficient or excessive reservation times. Insufficient reservation times can result in charging being forced to end before it is complete, affecting vehicle range and travel arrangements. Excessively long reservation times can occupy charging station resources, preventing other users from using the station in a timely manner and reducing equipment utilization. Furthermore, frequent time planning errors can increase user operational complexity, reduce the platform's user experience, and may even trigger user complaints, impacting the platform's reputation and operational efficiency.

[0057] This embodiment of the present invention can solve the above problems. The specific implementation method is as follows: when the user needs to perform a charging operation, the user connects to the server and enters the charging method he wants through the user terminal. For example, when charging to a specified power level is required, the expected charging power level is entered. When charging at a specified time, the expected charging time t1 is entered. At this time, the user terminal obtains the remaining power of the vehicle by connecting to the vehicle, or the user manually enters the remaining power level, so that the judgment module can obtain the remaining power level and charging method information from the user terminal. Subsequently, the judgment module calculates according to the obtained remaining power level and charging method information. If the user chooses to charge to the expected charging power level, the judgment module calculates the remaining power level and charging method information respectively during slow charging. The calculation charging time required for charging at the slow charging pile and the fast charging pile, if the user selects the estimated charging time t1, the judgment module calculates the estimated charging end power obtained when charging at the slow charging pile and the fast charging pile to the end of the charging time, and then the judgment module sends the calculated charging time or the estimated charging end power to the user end, so that the user can view and understand the charging status when charging under different selection conditions at the user end. At this time, the user can select the fast charging pile or the slow charging pile for charging at the user end, thereby generating confirmation information, which includes the fast charging confirmation generated when the user selects the fast charging pile at the user end or the slow charging confirmation generated when the user selects the slow charging pile at the user end;

[0058] After the judgment module calculates the charging time or the estimated charging end power, the selection module sends the idle time interval of each charging pile to the user end, so that the user can view the remaining idle charging piles and the idle time interval of each charging pile on the user end. Then the selection module calculates according to the confirmation information selected by the user and the idle time interval of the charging pile and the calculated charging time or the estimated charging time t1, selects a suitable charging pile as the recommended charging pile through calculation, and sends the recommended charging pile to the user end, so that the user can select from the recommended charging piles. After the user completes the selection, charging pile selection information is generated, and the charging pile selection information is sent to the reservation module, so that the reservation module generates user reservation information according to the charging pile selection information and the calculated charging time or the estimated charging time t1, and recalculates the reservation time information and the idle time interval according to the user reservation information to overwrite them, thereby updating the idle time interval of the charging pile;

[0059] For example, when the user needs to charge, he inputs that he needs to charge to 80% on the user side, and manually inputs the current remaining power as 20%. Then the judgment module obtains the remaining power of 20% and the charging mode information of charging to 80% from the user side. The judgment module calculates based on this information and concludes that it takes 5 hours for the user to charge at a slow charging pile and 1.5 hours for the user to charge at a fast charging pile, and sends these two time information to the user side so that the user knows the time required for charging. At this time, the user confirms the fast charging from the user side, and then the selection module obtains the idle time interval of each fast charging pile, and the three fast charging piles A1, A2, and A3 are known through calculation. If the charging time of 1.5 hours or more can be met in this time period, the selection module selects the three fast charging piles A1, A2, and A3 as recommended charging piles, and sends the recommended charging piles to the user terminal. The user selects the A1 fast charging pile from the three fast charging piles A1, A2, and A3 in the user terminal. The user terminal generates A1 fast charging pile selection information and sends the A1 fast charging pile selection information to the reservation module. The reservation module generates user reservation information based on the need to reserve 1.5 hours of charging for the A1 fast charging pile, and converts the reserved 1.5 hours from the idle time interval to the reservation time information, overwriting and updating the reservation time information and the idle time interval;

[0060] In summary, by setting up the judgment module and the selection module, it is helpful to assist users to clearly understand the charging method they need and the charging time they need to reserve, so as to avoid the situation where insufficient reservation time may lead to forced termination of charging before completion, and too long reservation time may occupy charging pile resources, which is beneficial to improving the user's charging experience and improving the operating efficiency of the charging pile.

[0061] As an optional embodiment, the judgment module is specifically configured to:

[0062] When the charging mode information is the estimated charging power, the slow charging power of the slow charging pile and the fast charging power of the fast charging pile are retrieved;

[0063] Generate slow charging time t2 based on slow charging power, remaining power and expected charging power;

[0064] Generate fast charging time t3 based on fast charging power, remaining power and expected charging power;

[0065] The calculated charging time includes the slow charging time t2 and the fast charging time t3;

[0066] When the charging mode information obtained by the judgment module is the expected charging power, the judgment module calls the charging power of the slow charging pile and the charging power of the fast charging pile, and generates the slow charging time t2 according to the charging power, remaining power and expected charging power of the slow charging pile, and generates the fast charging time t3 according to the charging power, remaining power and expected charging power of the fast charging pile, thereby calculating the charging time. Among them, the calculation of the charging time can be performed using the existing calculation method. The calculation of the charging time here is a mature existing technology and will not be repeated here.

[0067] As an optional embodiment, the judgment module is specifically configured to:

[0068] When the charging mode information is the estimated charging time t1, the slow charging power of the slow charging pile and the fast charging power of the fast charging pile are retrieved;

[0069] Generate the slow charging end power according to the slow charging power, remaining power and estimated charging time t1;

[0070] Generate the fast charge end power according to the fast charge power, remaining power and estimated charging time t1;

[0071] The estimated end-of-charge capacity includes the end-of-slow-charge capacity and the end-of-fast-charge capacity.

[0072] When the charging mode information obtained by the judgment module is the estimated charging time t1, the judgment module calls the charging power of the slow charging pile and the charging power of the fast charging pile, generates the slow charging end power according to the slow charging power and the remaining power and the estimated charging time t1, and generates the fast charging end power according to the fast charging power and the remaining power and the estimated charging time t1, thereby obtaining the estimated charging end power. Among them, the calculation of the charging power within the specified time can be calculated using the existing calculation method. The calculation of the charging power here is a mature existing technology and will not be repeated here.

[0073] As an optional embodiment, the judgment module is further configured to:

[0074] When the estimated charge end power is 100%, the fast charge time t6 is generated according to the fast charge power and the remaining power, and the slow charge time t7 is generated according to the slow charge power and the remaining power. The estimated full charge time includes the fast charge time t6 and the slow charge time t7;

[0075] Send the estimated full charge time to the user and replace the estimated charging time t1;

[0076] When the estimated charging time t1 selected by the user is too long, the estimated charging end power calculated within the estimated charging time t1 is 100%. At this time, within the estimated charging time t1, charging is completed in the first part of the time, and the charging pile is idle in the second part of the time. In this case, the idle time of the charging pile is occupied;

[0077] This embodiment can solve the above problems, specifically as follows: when the estimated charging end power is 100%, the judgment module generates and calculates the fast full charging time t6 according to the fast charging power and the remaining power, and calculates the fast full charging time t7 according to the slow charging power and the remaining power, thereby obtaining the estimated full charging time, and replaces the estimated charging time t1 with the estimated full charging time, and then sends the estimated full charging time to the user end, reminding the user that there is no need to charge the estimated charging time t1, and the full charging can be completed with the estimated full charging time, thereby avoiding the situation where the charging pile is idle after the full charging is completed within the charging time selected by the user.

[0078] As an optional embodiment, the selection module is specifically configured to:

[0079] When the confirmation information is slow charging confirmation, all slow charging piles are selected, and the idle time intervals of the slow charging piles after the current time are obtained.

[0080] When the charging mode information is the estimated charging capacity, the slow charging time t2 is retrieved, and the slow charging time t2 and each independent time interval t4 are substituted into the judgment formula t2≤t4 in sequence. If the judgment formula is met, all the corresponding independent time intervals t4 are selected as the selected intervals, and the selected intervals and the corresponding slow charging piles are selected as the recommended charging piles;

[0081] When the charging mode information is the estimated charging time t1, the estimated charging time t1 and each independent time interval t4 are sequentially substituted into the judgment formula t1≤t4. If the judgment formula is satisfied, all corresponding independent time intervals t4 are selected as the selected intervals, and the selected intervals and the corresponding slow charging piles are selected as the recommended charging piles.

[0082] When the confirmation information is fast charge confirmation, all fast charge charging piles are selected, and the idle time intervals of the fast charge charging piles after the current time are obtained.

[0083] When the charging mode information is the estimated charging capacity, the fast charging time t3 is retrieved, and the fast charging time t3 and each independent time interval t5 are substituted into the judgment formula t3≤t5 in sequence. If the judgment formula is met, all the corresponding independent time intervals t5 are selected as the selected intervals, and the selected intervals and the corresponding fast charging charging piles are selected as the recommended charging piles;

[0084] When the charging mode information is the estimated charging time t1, the estimated charging time t1 and each independent time interval t5 are sequentially substituted into the judgment formula t1≤t5. If the judgment formula is met, all corresponding independent time intervals t5 are selected as the selected intervals, and the selected intervals and the corresponding fast charging piles are selected as the recommended charging piles;

[0085] When the user confirms slow charging, the confirmation information is slow charging confirmation. At this time, the selection module selects all slow charging piles, and the slow charging piles obtain all idle time of the slow charging piles after the current time, and pull out each independent time interval in the idle time to form each independent time interval t4;

[0086] When the charging mode is the estimated charging capacity, the selection module retrieves the previously calculated slow charging time t2, and substitutes it into each independent time interval t4 in turn into the judgment formula t2≤t4 for judgment. When the charging mode is the estimated charging time t1, it and each independent time interval t4 are substituted into the judgment formula t1≤t4 for judgment. If a certain independent time interval t4 meets the judgment formula, it means that the independent time interval t4 can meet the charging conditions. The selection module selects the independent time interval t4, and repeats this process until all independent time intervals t4 that meet the charging conditions are selected. Then the selection module selects each selected independent time interval t4 and the slow charging pile to which the independent time interval t4 belongs as a recommended charging pile, and sends the recommended charging pile to the user terminal for the user to select.

[0087] When the user confirms fast charging, the confirmation information is fast charging confirmation. At this time, the selection module selects all fast charging piles, and the fast charging piles obtain all the idle time of the fast charging piles after the current time, and pull out each independent time interval in the idle time to form each independent time interval t5;

[0088] When the charging mode is the estimated charging capacity, the selection module retrieves the previously calculated fast charging time t3, and substitutes it into each independent time interval t5 in turn into the judgment formula t3≤t5 for judgment. When the charging mode is the estimated charging time t1, it and each independent time interval t5 are substituted into the judgment formula t3≤t5 for judgment. If a certain independent time interval t5 meets the judgment formula, it means that the independent time interval t5 can meet the charging conditions. The selection module selects the independent time interval t5, and repeats this process until all independent time intervals t5 that meet the charging conditions are selected. Then the selection module selects each selected independent time interval t5 and the fast charging pile to which the independent time interval t5 belongs as a recommended charging pile, and sends the recommended charging pile to the user terminal for the user to select.

[0089] It should be noted that when the estimated full-charge time replaces the estimated charging time t1, the estimated charging time t1 in the above judgment is all replaced by the estimated full-charge time.

[0090] As an optional embodiment, the device further includes a charging gun removal request module, which includes a removal approval prompt light for:

[0091] Monitor the vehicle's charging status and generate charging completion information and charging gun removal request information when the vehicle is fully charged;

[0092] Send charging completion information and charging gun removal request information to the user end;

[0093] Obtain unplug consent information from the user end, and control the unplug consent prompt light to light up according to the unplug consent information;

[0094] After the vehicle is charged, the charging gun unplugging request module obtains the charging completion status from the charging gun, and generates charging completion information and charging gun unplugging request information at this time. The charging gun unplugging request module sends the charging completion information to the user end to prompt the user that charging is complete and the vehicle can be driven out. The charging gun unplugging request module sends the charging gun unplugging request information to the user end to prompt the user that after charging is completed, if other users need to charge, they can request that the other users unplug the charging gun so that the charging gun can be used to charge other vehicles after charging is completed. When the user end receives the charging gun unplugging request information, the user can choose to agree to unplug or not. When agreeing to unplug, the user end generates unplugging consent information and sends it to the charging gun unplugging request module. The charging gun unplugging request module lights up the unplugging consent prompt light after obtaining the unplugging consent information to prompt other users that the user has agreed to the unplugging of the charging gun by other users.

[0095] It should be noted that each charging pile of the charging pile operation and management platform is adapted to two parking spaces. On the one hand, the adaptation of the two parking spaces allows new energy vehicle owners to charge by parking in another adapted parking space when the charging pile is not in use and the corresponding parking space is occupied. On the other hand, when the vehicle in front is about to complete charging or has completed charging but has not yet left, it can park in another parking space and wait for charging to be completed, or after parking in another parking space, it can automatically unplug the charging gun and charge with the consent of the vehicle owner.

[0096] In summary, when a vehicle is fully charged but the owner is unable to drive out the vehicle in time, the charging gun can be unplugged with the consent of the owner, so that the next vehicle can be charged in time. On the one hand, it is beneficial to improve the utilization efficiency of the charging pile, and on the other hand, it is beneficial to avoid the situation where the next vehicle has to wait for a long time before it can be charged. The lighting of the unplugging consent prompt light can remind the owner of the next vehicle which charging piles have completed charging and the owner agrees to unplug the charging gun, which is beneficial to avoid the situation where the owner of the next vehicle accidentally unplugs the charging gun and causes damage and disputes.

[0097] As an optional embodiment, the charging gun removal request module is further configured to:

[0098] After generating the charging completion information and before obtaining the unplugging consent information, sending temporary occupancy information to the reservation module;

[0099] Obtaining the disconnection rejection information from the user terminal, generating and sending the occupancy notification information to the reservation module according to the disconnection rejection information;

[0100] After the charging gun unplugging request module generates the charging completion information, that is, after charging is completed, until the charging gun unplugging request module obtains the unplugging consent information, the time period is the waiting time for the user to view the issued charging gun unplugging request information. At this time, the charging gun unplugging request module generates temporary occupancy information and sends the temporary occupancy information to the reservation module;

[0101] When the charging gun unplugging request module obtains the unplugging rejection information from the user side, the user has checked the charging gun unplugging request information and rejected the charging gun unplugging request. At this time, the user knows that charging is completed and refuses other users to unplug and use the charging gun independently. At this time, the charging gun unplugging request module generates an occupation notification message and sends the occupation notification message to the reservation module;

[0102] In summary, the reservation module can adjust the subsequent user reservation information according to the occupancy of the charging pile, so that users who need to charge at the occupied charging pile in the future can replace it when there are other charging piles that meet the conditions, which is conducive to reducing the adverse effects on the charging plans of subsequent charging users.

[0103] As an optional embodiment, the system further includes an occupancy billing module, which is configured to:

[0104] Obtaining temporary occupancy information from the charging gun removal request module, and performing first mode billing according to the temporary occupancy information;

[0105] Obtaining occupancy notification information from the charging gun removal request module, and performing second mode billing according to the occupancy notification information;

[0106] During the time period of waiting for the user to check the charging gun unplugging request information sent, the charging gun unplugging request module will simultaneously send the generated temporary occupancy information to the occupancy billing module. Since this is a waiting period, the occupancy billing module will bill the user in the first mode. When the user refuses the charging gun unplugging request, the charging gun unplugging request module will simultaneously send the generated occupancy notification information to the occupancy billing module. Since the user refuses to unplug the charging gun and occupies the charging gun, the occupancy billing module will bill the user in the second mode, where the second mode billing amount is higher than the first mode billing amount, which is equivalent to the rental of the charging gun that the user does not use but occupies.

[0107] As an optional embodiment, the charging gun removal request module is further configured to:

[0108] After sending the charging gun unplug request information, obtain the user end reading status, the reading status includes read status or unread status;

[0109] When the reading state is the read state and before the unplugging consent information is obtained, generating and sending the second mode billing trigger information to the occupancy billing module;

[0110] After sending the charging gun unplugging request information, the charging gun unplugging request module can check the user's reading status. When the user is in the unread state, the user has not learned the charging completion information. At this time, the user is charged the minimum amount in the first mode. When the user is in the read state and chooses to agree to unplug and generates the unplugging consent information, it means that the user has agreed to the next user to unplug the charging gun independently. At this time, the user no longer occupies the charging gun, and the user is no longer charged. When the user is in the read state and has not selected the unplugging consent information and the unplugging rejection information, it means that the user has learned the charging completion information and chooses to ignore the charging gun unplugging request information. At this time, the user refuses to unplug the charging gun and occupies the charging gun. Therefore, the user needs to be charged a higher amount in the second mode. Therefore, the charging gun unplugging request module generates the second mode billing trigger information, and sends the second mode billing trigger information to the occupancy billing module, so that the occupancy billing module triggers the second mode billing for the user.

[0111] As an optional embodiment, the charging gun removal request module is further configured to:

[0112] Detect the status of the charging gun, generate a pull-out notification message after the charging gun is unplugged, and send it to the user end;

[0113] The charging gun unplugging request module monitors the status of the charging gun, generates unplugging notification information after the charging gun is unplugged, and sends the generated unplugging notification information to the user end, so that the user can be informed of the unplugging of the charging gun in time after selecting the unplugging consent information.

[0114] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when a user needs to perform a charging operation, the user connects to the server and inputs the charging method he wants through the user terminal. For example, when charging to a specified power level is required, the estimated charging power level is input. When charging at a specified time level is required, the estimated charging time t1 is input. At this time, the user terminal obtains the remaining power of the vehicle by connecting to the vehicle, or the user manually inputs the remaining power level, so that the judgment module can obtain the remaining power level and charging method information from the user terminal. Subsequently, the judgment module performs calculations based on the obtained remaining power level and charging method information. If the user chooses to charge to the estimated charging power level, the judgment module calculates the remaining power level at the slow charging pile and the fast charging pile respectively. The calculation charging time required for charging is as follows: if the user selects the estimated charging time t1, the judgment module calculates the estimated charging end power obtained when charging at the slow charging pile and the fast charging pile until the end of the charging time, and then the judgment module sends the calculated charging time or the estimated charging end power to the user terminal, so that the user can view and understand the charging status under different selection conditions at the user terminal. At this time, the user can select the fast charging pile or the slow charging pile for charging at the user terminal, thereby generating confirmation information, which includes the fast charging confirmation generated when the user selects the fast charging pile at the user terminal or the slow charging confirmation generated when the user selects the slow charging pile at the user terminal;

[0115] After the judgment module calculates the charging time or the estimated charging end power, the selection module sends the idle time interval of each charging pile to the user end, so that the user can view the remaining idle charging piles and the idle time interval of each charging pile on the user end. Then the selection module calculates according to the confirmation information selected by the user and the idle time interval of the charging pile and the calculated charging time or the estimated charging time t1, selects a suitable charging pile as the recommended charging pile through calculation, and sends the recommended charging pile to the user end, so that the user can select from the recommended charging piles. After the user completes the selection, charging pile selection information is generated, and the charging pile selection information is sent to the reservation module, so that the reservation module generates user reservation information according to the charging pile selection information and the calculated charging time or the estimated charging time t1, and recalculates the reservation time information and the idle time interval according to the user reservation information to overwrite them, thereby updating the idle time interval of the charging pile;

[0116] In summary, by setting up the judgment module and the selection module, it is helpful to assist users to clearly understand the charging method they need and the charging time they need to reserve, so as to avoid the situation where insufficient reservation time may lead to forced termination of charging before completion, and too long reservation time may occupy charging pile resources, which is beneficial to improving the user's charging experience and improving the operating efficiency of the charging pile.
