Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a charging pile operation method and a charging pile device based on password control, belonging to the technical field of new energy charging. Background Art
[0002] With the popularity of new energy vehicles, charging pile activation mainly relies on mobile phone applications (APP) or physical charging cards. However, existing technologies have significant drawbacks: Strong dependence on mobile devices: When users do not carry their mobile phones or charging cards, they cannot start or stop charging services, resulting in forced interruption of charging needs; Poor adaptability to signal environments: In scenarios with weak signal coverage, such as underground garages and remote areas, the mobile app loses control of the charging station due to network connection failure; Lack of emergency operation: Existing charging piles lack a localized operation mechanism that is independent of external devices (mobile phones / cards), making it impossible to provide emergency charging services in emergencies; Insufficient anti-theft charging capabilities: Unauthorized users may seize charging resources through malicious operations, and existing solutions lack effective local protection measures.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a charging control solution that is independent of mobile devices and networks, supports localized emergency operations, and has anti-theft capabilities. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a charging pile operation method and charging pile device based on password control, which can start or stop charging as usual when the user does not carry a mobile phone or charging card, or operate the charging pile through the buttons on the pile itself when the signal is poor in an underground garage.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention is implemented by adopting the following technical solutions: In a first aspect, the present invention provides a charging pile operation method based on password control, comprising: A plurality of digital buttons and a function button are provided on the outer surface of the charging pile; Detecting a password combination entered by a user via the numeric keys; Execute the corresponding operation according to the triggering method of the function button: When a short press of a function button is detected: If the device is not charging, start charging after verifying that the password combination is correct. If it is currently in charging state, the charging will be terminated after verifying that the password combination is correct; If in the new password setting state, confirm the new password combination entered by the user through the numeric keys; When a long press of a function button is detected, the new password setting state is entered after verifying that the current password combination is correct.
[0006] Furthermore, the starting charging operation includes: entering a preset password combination in sequence and then short pressing a function key.
[0007] Furthermore, the factory default password combination is set to [3-2-1].
[0008] Furthermore, the new password setting operation includes: After entering the original password combination, long press the function key to enter the setting state; Enter a new password combination of the set number of digits within the set time and short press the function key to confirm.
[0009] Furthermore, the new password combination consists of 1 to 5 digits.
[0010] Furthermore, the new password combination is allowed to contain repeated numbers.
[0011] The charging pile operating method according to claim 1, characterized in that: Furthermore, the method also includes an anti-theft charging mechanism: During the password verification process, if the wrong password combination is entered continuously for a preset number of times, the operation functions based on the password combination will be locked.
[0012] Furthermore, the locking of the password combination-based operation function lasts for a preset time period, and during the locking period, only non-password mode of charging is supported; the preset time period is at least 30 minutes.
[0013] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a charging pile device, comprising: Multiple digital buttons and function buttons are provided on the surface of the charging pile housing; A controller electrically connected to the button, configured to execute: Receive password input sequence via numeric keys; Identify the short press / long press status of function buttons; Execute any of the above-mentioned charging pile operation methods according to the button status.
[0014] Furthermore, the number of the digital keys is 3, marked as 1, 2, and 3 respectively; The function keys are marked as F keys and are located in an area adjacent to the number keys.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention provides a charging pile operation method and charging pile device based on password control, which achieves the following significant advantages through the coordinated control of physical buttons and password verification: (1) No dependence on external devices: Users do not need a mobile phone or charging card. They can directly enter the password combination through the digital buttons on the charging pile body and operate the function key (F key) to complete the start / stop charging operation, completely solving the problem of charging interruption caused by not carrying external devices.
[0016] (2) Emergency operation in a non-network environment: In a signal blind area (such as an underground garage), users only need to operate the physical buttons on the surface of the charging pile to control the charging process. The short press (confirmation) and long press (setting) logic of the function keys are independent of the network communication module to ensure the continuity of charging services in extreme environments.
[0017] (3) Active protection against theft and charging: The password verification mechanism requires the correct combination to be entered before charging can be started or stopped, preventing unauthorized users from maliciously occupying resources; Three consecutive password errors will trigger an operation lock of 30 minutes or more, significantly increasing the threshold for brute force cracking. During the lock period, other verification methods (such as card swiping) will be forced to be switched to, taking into account both security and emergency needs.
[0018] (4) The password is flexible and configurable, supporting variable-length passwords of 1-5 digits (including repeated digits), providing 363 combinations, and users can modify it independently (the original password needs to be verified); The 30-second timeout setting balances operational convenience and security, avoiding the risk of passwords being exposed for extended periods of time.
[0019] (5) Hardware cost optimization: Only three numeric keys (1 / 2 / 3) and one function key (F key) need to be added, and the original controller of the charging pile can be reused to implement password logic processing. There is no need to add new communication modules or biometric components, which significantly reduces the cost of transformation and maintenance. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] Example 1: This example introduces a charging pile operation method based on password control, including: A plurality of digital buttons and a function button are provided on the outer surface of the charging pile; Detecting a password combination entered by a user via the numeric keys; Execute the corresponding operation according to the triggering method of the function button: When a short press of a function button is detected: If the device is not charging, start charging after verifying that the password combination is correct. If it is currently in charging state, the charging will be terminated after verifying that the password combination is correct; If in the new password setting state, confirm the new password combination entered by the user through the numeric keys; When a long press of a function button is detected, the new password setting state is entered after verifying that the current password combination is correct.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a charging pile device is provided, which is located on the outer surface of the charging pile, near the display light, and includes three numeric buttons (1 / 2 / 3) and a function button (F); The main function of the three number buttons is to enter the password combination to start charging, or set a new password combination to start charging; to operate the number buttons, touch and short press the corresponding number keys; The main functions of the single function button are to start charging, stop charging, and set a new password. A short press of the F button activates the "Confirm" function. Scenario 1: When charging is not yet enabled, first press the numeric password combination, then briefly press the F button to confirm charging. Scenario 2: When charging is already enabled, first press the numeric password combination, then briefly press the F button to confirm charging. Scenario 3: When setting a new password, first press the numeric password combination, then briefly press the F button to confirm the new password. A long press of the F button activates the "Set" function. This is used by pressing the numeric password combination and then briefly pressing the F button to enter the new password setting state.
[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the charging pile operation method based on password control provided in this embodiment specifically involves the following steps: Start charging: Click the password combination in sequence, and then short press the F key to start the charging pile. The factory default startup password is [3-2-1]: Click "3"-"2"-"1" in sequence, and then click "F" to start charging; End charging: You also need to enter a password or other methods to end charging to prevent malicious charging. The specific password operation is to start charging, click the password combination in sequence, and then short press the F key to end charging; Change password: To set a new password, you must first enter the password you set last time (for the first time, enter the factory password [3-2-1]), then press and hold the "F" key to enter the new password entry stage; then click the new password in sequence, and then click the "F" key to confirm the new password and complete the entry (it will take effect within 30 seconds). Two major rules for password setting: A. 1~5 digits B. The same number can be used repeatedly For example: [3], [2-2], [1-2-3], [3-3-3], [3-2-1-1], [1-1-1-1] [3-2-1-2-3] According to the above permutations and combinations, there are 31+32+33+34+35=363 kinds Anti-unlocking (anti-theft charging) function: After three failed attempts, the password operation will be locked. Charging can only be started by other methods within a short period of time (≥30 minutes). This function is to prevent others from trying to unlock the charging station with the password multiple times.

[0027] This embodiment provides a charging pile operation method and charging pile device based on password control, which achieves the following significant advantages through the coordinated control of physical buttons and password verification: (1) No dependence on external devices: Users do not need a mobile phone or charging card. They can directly enter the password combination through the digital buttons on the charging pile body and operate the function key (F key) to complete the start / stop charging operation, completely solving the problem of charging interruption caused by not carrying external devices.
[0028] (2) Emergency operation in a non-network environment: In a signal blind area (such as an underground garage), users only need to operate the physical buttons on the surface of the charging pile to control the charging process. The short press (confirmation) and long press (setting) logic of the function keys are independent of the network communication module to ensure the continuity of charging services in extreme environments.
[0029] (3) Active protection against theft and charging: The password verification mechanism requires the correct combination to be entered before charging can be started or stopped, preventing unauthorized users from maliciously occupying resources; Three consecutive password errors will trigger an operation lock of 30 minutes or more, significantly increasing the threshold for brute force cracking. During the lock period, other verification methods (such as card swiping) will be forced to be switched to, taking into account both security and emergency needs.
[0030] (4) The password is flexible and configurable, supporting variable-length passwords of 1-5 digits (including repeated digits), providing 363 combinations, and users can modify it independently (the original password needs to be verified); The 30-second timeout setting balances operational convenience and security, avoiding the risk of passwords being exposed for extended periods of time.
[0031] (5) Hardware cost optimization: Only three numeric keys (1 / 2 / 3) and one function key (F key) need to be added, and the original controller of the charging pile can be reused to implement password logic processing. There is no need to add new communication modules or biometric components, which significantly reduces the cost of transformation and maintenance.
[0032] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
