[0002] With the popularity of new energy vehicles, the demand for charging infrastructure is growing rapidly. However, existing charging pile technology still has the following problems: Traditional charging piles are usually fixed on the ground or wall. Fixed charging piles may take up too much space and affect vehicle traffic. The cables of traditional charging piles are laid on the ground, which is easy to wear and tear and affects the passage of pedestrians or vehicles. In shared charging scenarios, when multiple charging piles are installed in parallel, the cables are tangled and messy, making management difficult.

[0003] Moreover, the charging power distribution is fixed and cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the vehicle battery status and grid load, which may lead to low charging efficiency or grid overload. There is a lack of intelligent monitoring system, and there is room for improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Traditional charging piles are usually fixed on the ground or wall. Fixed charging piles may take up too much space and affect vehicle traffic. The cables of traditional charging piles are easily worn out and affect the passage of pedestrians or vehicles. In shared charging scenarios, when multiple charging piles are installed in parallel, the cables are tangled and difficult to manage. The charging power distribution is fixed and cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the vehicle battery status and grid load. This may lead to low charging efficiency or grid overload. The lack of intelligent monitoring system can solve the above problems. Please refer to Figure 1-3 The present invention discloses an adaptive hanging rail type charging device, comprising: The mobile trolley 1 is mounted on the hanging rail 01 and moves along the laying path thereof; There are multiple charging seats 3, which are arranged above each charging parking space along the path laid by the hanging rail 01; The charging box 2 is provided at the bottom of the mobile cart 1 and can be transferred between the mobile cart 1 and the charging base 3 when the mobile cart 1 is docked. It should be noted that there are multiple charging boxes 2, but the number of charging boxes 2 is smaller than the number of charging bases 3 to facilitate the dispatch of the mobile cart 1. The charging box 2 is provided with multiple charging modules 23. Preferably, the charging modules 23 are power units. This technology is a common technical means in the prior art, so it is not explained and described in detail in the application. It also includes a monitoring module and a control system, wherein the monitoring module is used to identify vehicle information and monitor the status of the vehicle during charging; The control system is used to determine the required charging power according to the vehicle information and activate a corresponding number of charging modules 23 to supply power.

[0020] Based on the above device, a method for using the adaptive hanging rail charging device is also included, including the following steps: Step S1: The user scans the code to charge, and the control system controls the mobile car 1 to dispatch the charging box 2 to the charging seat 3 above the designated parking space according to the location information of the parking space to be charged; Step S2: The charging box 2 is moved to the charging base 3. The user is reminded to insert the charging gun into the charging port. The charging gun reads the charging protocol data sent by the vehicle's BMS (Battery Management System) through handshake communication, and the monitoring module is activated to obtain vehicle information. The two information are checked for consistency. If inconsistent, the user is reminded to check. Step S3: If the information is consistent, the maximum charging power supported by the vehicle is obtained, and the corresponding charging module 23 is connected in series according to the maximum charging power to charge the vehicle; Step S4: Monitor the interface status, temperature, and current SOC (State of Charge) during charging. Step S5: Dynamically adjust the charging curve according to the vehicle feedback data during the charging process, and allocate the charging modules 23 according to demand until charging is completed.

[0021] In the above steps, when the present application is used, the charging gun can first communicate with the charging power required by the monitoring module and its vehicle information through handshake. When the two are consistent, the charging work is started. When the two information are inconsistent, the information is sent to the mobile phone for manual verification and the vehicle required power is determined. Then, the control system intelligently adjusts the corresponding number of charging modules 23 according to the required power, thereby achieving the purpose of intelligent power supply. Secondly, the interface status, temperature, and current SOC are monitored during the charging process to achieve the purpose of monitoring the safety of the charging process. At the same time, the CC / CV phase duration can be dynamically adjusted through BMS data. When the battery is almost full, the current is automatically reduced and the power unit is reallocated, transferring the idle modules from low-priority vehicles to high-priority vehicles. It should be noted that the lower the SOC value, the higher the corresponding priority. Preferably, the charging station 3 is located between two charging parking spaces to charge two vehicles simultaneously. This application can allocate corresponding power units according to the power requirements of different vehicles. This application can adjust the charging power between the two to meet user needs based on priority. Through a three-level control system of "vehicle identification-power matching-dynamic allocation," this application not only adjusts power on demand but also comprehensively surpasses traditional charging piles in terms of safety, energy efficiency, and resource utilization. Its core value lies in upgrading "rigid charging" to "flexible intelligent charging," making it an ideal solution for future high-density charging scenarios.

[0022] It should be further explained that when N number of charging modules 23 need to be connected in series in step S3, N+1 number of charging modules 23 are enabled. The above-mentioned setting of the N+1 mode can provide redundancy to enable seamless switching when a single module fails, and can still operate at full load when any module fails.

[0023] In the present application, the charging modules 23 are staggered in series in step S3. When the device is running, if the charging modules 23 are not fully enabled, the charging modules 23 can be enabled alternately. There is an inoperative charging module 23 between the two running charging modules 23 to disperse the heat generated by each charging module 23 during operation and avoid safety hazards caused by heat concentration.

[0024] It should be noted that, in this application, the charging seat 3 is provided with a charging male connector 32 that docks with the charging box 2; The charging box 2 is provided with a charging female connector 22 corresponding to the charging male connector 32 , and the charging female connector 22 is used to connect with the charging male connector 32 to realize current exchange.

[0025] It should be further explained that the charging seat 3 is vertically arranged on the side of the hanging rail 01.

[0026] In the present application, the mobile trolley 1 is provided with a driving unit 11 for driving it to move on the hanging rail 01; A first guide rail 12 perpendicular to the hanging rail 01 is provided at the bottom of the movable trolley 1 .

[0027] It is easy to imagine that a second guide rail 31 corresponding to the first guide rail 12 is provided in the charging base 3 .

[0028] In the present application, the mobile vehicle 1 is provided with a driving mechanism 21 for driving the charging box 2 to move along the first guide rail 12 and the second guide rail 31 .

[0029] In step S1, when charging is required, the driving unit 11 inside the mobile cart 1 drives the mobile cart 1 as a whole to move to the designated position along the hanging rail 01, and ensures that the first guide rail 12 and the second guide rail 31 are in a relative state. Then, the driving mechanism 21 runs to drive the charging box 2 from the bottom of the mobile cart 1 to the inside of the charging seat 3, and docks the charging male connector 22 with the charging female connector 32, completing the preparation process before charging.

[0030] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), such directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0031] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the present invention, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features specified as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the fact that ordinary technicians in this field can implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0032] In addition, "plurality" means two or more.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
