[0002] In modern society, electricity, as a vital energy source driving economic development and safeguarding people's livelihoods, balances its supply and demand. To promote the rational allocation and efficient use of electricity resources, many regions have implemented peak-valley electricity pricing policies. These policies apply higher rates during peak hours, when electricity users are concentrated and power supply is tight. Lower rates apply during off-peak hours, when electricity users are fewer and power supply is more plentiful.

[0003] However, for electric car owners who want to take advantage of off-peak electricity prices and charge their cars during off-peak periods, they need to start the charger within a specified timeframe. This is not only inconvenient, but also because the typical off-peak period is typically between midnight and 6:00 AM, which coincides with most people's rest time. Nighttime charging requires drivers to interrupt their sleep to travel to a garage or charging station to start the charger, which significantly interferes with their rest time and creates significant inconvenience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a charging box charging method, device, charging box and computer-readable storage medium, which are used to solve the problem in the prior art that when electric vehicles need to be charged at low power, the charging equipment needs to be started at a specified time, which is inconvenient to operate.

[0044] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present disclosure / application, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present application, its application, or use.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] This embodiment introduces a charging method for a charging box. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, a charging method for a charging box includes:

[0047] S100 , in response to the charging box being powered on, obtaining charging mode data.

[0048] The charging mode data includes at least default charging mode data, or further includes externally input charging setting parameters;

[0049] Among them, the externally input charging setting parameters include at least power output setting parameters, or also include scheduled start time parameters. The output current of the charging box determines the length of the charging time of the electric vehicle. The conventional charging current of electric vehicles is usually 5-15A, and the corresponding charging time is about 5-8 hours. The conventional off-peak power period is generally set at 00:00-6:00 at night. In this embodiment, the power output setting parameters are set to four gears: 8A, 10A, 13A and 16A, which are suitable for full charge during the off-peak power period at night. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the delayed start time parameter is 1-10 hours. That is, by setting the delayed start time parameter, the charging box can start charging after 1-10 hours.

[0050] S200 , determining, based on the charging mode data, whether the current charging mode is an immediate start mode or a scheduled start mode, and setting the current charging mode as a default charging mode for the next charge.

[0051] Determining whether the current charging mode is an immediate start mode or a scheduled start mode based on the charging mode data includes:

[0052] S210, when the charging mode data only includes default charging mode data and the default charging mode is an immediate charging mode, setting the current charging mode to the immediate charging mode;

[0053] S220, when the charging mode data only includes default charging mode data, and the default charging mode is a scheduled charging mode, setting the current charging mode to the scheduled charging mode;

[0054] S230: After the charging box is powered on, if no parameters are set, the charging box will be in the default charging mode, that is, the last charging mode. It should be noted that the charging box is in the immediate start mode when it is powered on for the first time after leaving the factory.

[0055] S240, when the charging mode data includes default charging mode data and charging setting parameters, and the default charging mode is the immediate start mode, if the charging setting parameters include the power output setting parameters and the scheduled start time parameters, then the current charging mode is set to the scheduled start mode; otherwise, the current charging mode is set to the immediate start mode.

[0056] S250: When the charging mode data includes default charging mode data and charging setting parameters, and the default charging mode is the scheduled start mode, the current charging mode is set to the scheduled start mode.

[0057] When the charging box is in the scheduled charging mode, the charging setting parameters of the charging box will not be able to be modified. In this way, it conforms to the user's daily charging habits, avoids the inconvenience of the user repeatedly setting the same parameters, and realizes plug-and-play of the charging box.

[0058] S300, in response to the user confirming the start operation, in the immediate start mode, charging is started for the charging object according to the charging mode data, and in the scheduled start mode, charging is started for the charging object at a set time according to the charging mode data.

[0059] S310, when the charging mode data only includes default charging mode data and the charging mode is an immediate charging mode, starting charging of the charging object according to the default charging data;

[0060] S320, when the charging mode data only includes default charging mode data, and the default charging mode is a scheduled charging mode, starting charging of the charging object at a set time according to the default charging data;

[0061] S330, when the charging mode data includes default charging mode data and charging setting parameters, and the default charging mode is an immediate start mode, starting charging for the charging object according to the charging setting parameters;

[0062] S340: When the charging mode data includes default charging mode data and charging setting parameters, and the default charging mode is a scheduled start mode, charging of the charging object is started at a set time according to the charging setting parameters.

[0063] S400, in response to a user reset operation, if the charging box has started charging, stopping charging the charging object, obtaining initial charging mode data, and setting the current charging mode to an immediate start mode according to the initial charging mode data;

[0064] If the charging box does not start charging, the initial charging mode data is obtained, and the current charging mode is set to the immediate start mode according to the initial charging mode data.

[0065] During the charging process, the user can stop the charging box from charging by resetting it and set the current charging mode to immediate start mode based on the initial charging mode data. If the charging box does not start charging, the initial charging mode data is also obtained and the current charging mode is set to immediate start mode based on the initial charging mode data. When the charging box is in scheduled charging mode, the charging setting parameters of the charging box cannot be modified. The reset operation cancels the previous settings and sets the charging mode data to the initial charging mode data. After the current charging mode is set to immediate start mode through the reset operation, the charging setting parameters can be re-entered.

[0066] In this embodiment, the charging box has two charging modes: immediate start charging and delayed start charging. Specifically, after the current is set, the user can choose to start charging immediately or delay charging as needed. By setting the charging box start time with delayed charging, the charging box can be set to start during off-peak periods. Users do not need to start the charging box during off-peak periods, thus avoiding disrupting their daily routine and taking advantage of the preferential off-peak electricity prices.

[0069] Pressing the first button 2 sends a signal to the control circuit board 4, which controls the output current parameter of the power supply unit 1. Specifically, pressing the first button 2 increments the output current parameter; when the output current parameter reaches its maximum value, pressing the first button 2 returns the output current parameter to its minimum value, completing the cycle. The output current parameter can be set to four levels: 8A, 10A, 13A, and 16A. The output current parameter can be adjusted by pressing the first button 211.

[0070] By long pressing the first button 2, a signal is sent to the control circuit board 4, and the control circuit board 4 controls the power supply unit 1 to start charging the charging object;

[0071] By pressing the second button 3, a signal is sent to the control circuit board 4, which controls the start-up time parameter of the power supply unit 1. The start-up time parameter ranges from 1 to 10 hours, specifically including ten setting levels, each with a time interval of 1 hour. By pressing the second button 3, the ten levels can be cycled to achieve the setting of the delayed start time parameter.

[0072] By long pressing the second button 3, a signal is sent to the control circuit board 4, and the control circuit board 4 controls the power supply unit 1 to start charging the charging object at the set time;

[0073] By pressing the first button 2 and the second button 3 simultaneously, a signal is sent to the control circuit board 4 , and the control circuit board 4 controls the power supply unit 1 to stop charging and reset the output current parameter and the start-up time parameter.
