Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of charging control technology, and more specifically, to a vehicle charging port strategy control method, device, equipment, medium, and program product. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid growth of electric vehicle ownership, the limitations of traditional charging methods (manual plugging and unplugging of charging guns) in terms of efficiency, convenience, and safety are becoming increasingly apparent. Robotic charging technology, through automated operation, can reduce human intervention. Essentially, it addresses industry pain points such as "too many vehicles, too few charging stations, low efficiency, and fragmented charging scenarios" through automation, intelligence, and flexibility. Simultaneously, it provides infrastructure support for future transportation ecosystems, such as autonomous driving, where vehicles automatically park in charging spots and collaborate with robots to complete charging, forming an integrated "vehicle-charging station-cloud" network. However, due to the robot's limited environmental adaptability, in complex scenarios, the robot cannot guarantee insertion on the first attempt and requires multiple adjustments. During this process, the charging port cover may automatically close after a timeout, leading to charging failure. Furthermore, to ensure accuracy in plugging and unplugging the charging gun, the robot's insertion and unplugging actions are relatively slow. If the vehicle triggers the charging port cover to automatically close after a timeout, interference between the charging port cover and the robot poses a risk of damage.

[0003] Application content The purpose of this application is to provide a vehicle charging port strategy control method, device, equipment, medium, and program product to solve the problem that the existing process of a robot charging a vehicle charging port cover may have the risk of damage due to interference between the charging port cover and the robot, resulting in charging failure.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle charging port strategy control method, applied to a vehicle, wherein the vehicle is connected to a robot via a cloud, and the method includes: Upon detecting a charging command, a charging enable signal is sent to the robot; Upon receiving the charging start signal from the robot, the automatic shut-off strategy of the vehicle's charging port is disabled. Upon receiving a charging completion signal from the robot, the automatic shut-off strategy for the vehicle's charging port is activated.

[0005] In the above implementation process, a charging enable signal is sent to the robot when a charging command is detected. When the charging start signal sent by the robot is received, the automatic closing strategy of the vehicle charging port is blocked. When the charging completion signal sent by the robot is received, the automatic closing strategy of the vehicle charging port is activated. This can block the original automatic closing strategy of the vehicle charging port cover during the charging process of the vehicle using the robot. After the charging is completed, the strategy is restored, avoiding the risk of damage caused by interference between the charging port cover and the robot, which may lead to charging failure.

[0006] Furthermore, after receiving the charging start signal from the robot, the automatic shutdown strategy of the vehicle charging port is disabled, which further includes: The robot receives a first radio frequency signal sent by the robot; wherein the first radio frequency signal is generated by the robot based on vehicle basic information and vehicle status information, the vehicle basic information including vehicle VIN and vehicle model, and the vehicle status information including vehicle SOC, target SOC, charging port cover status, vehicle gear position and vehicle charging status. The vehicle charging port is activated based on the first radio frequency signal.

[0007] In the above process, the robot generates a first radio frequency signal based on the vehicle's basic information and vehicle status information forwarded from the cloud, which is used to control the opening of the charging port cover.

[0008] Furthermore, before activating the automatic shut-off strategy of the vehicle charging port after receiving the charging completion signal from the robot, the following steps are also included: The robot receives a second radio frequency signal; wherein the second radio frequency signal is generated by the robot based on vehicle basic information and vehicle status information, the vehicle basic information including vehicle VIN and vehicle model, and the vehicle status information including target SOC and vehicle charging status. The vehicle charging port is shut off according to the second radio frequency signal.

[0009] In the above process, the robot generates a second radio frequency signal based on the vehicle's basic information and vehicle status information forwarded from the cloud, which is used to control the charging port cover to close.

[0010] Furthermore, the method also includes: Upon detecting the charging command, the system sends basic vehicle information to the robot and sends vehicle status information to the robot in real time.

[0011] In the above implementation process, the robot can monitor the vehicle's charging status in real time.

[0012] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle charging port strategy control method applied to a robot, wherein the robot is connected to the vehicle via a cloud, and the method includes: Upon receiving a charging enable signal from the vehicle, a charging start signal is sent to the vehicle; wherein, the charging start signal is used to instruct the vehicle to disable the automatic shutdown strategy of the vehicle's charging port. Once it is determined that the vehicle has finished charging, a charging completion signal is sent to the vehicle; wherein, the charging completion signal is used to instruct the vehicle to activate the automatic shut-off strategy of the vehicle charging port.

[0013] In the above implementation process, when a charging enable signal is received from the vehicle, a charging start signal is sent to the vehicle to instruct the vehicle to disable the automatic closing strategy of the vehicle charging port. When it is determined that the vehicle has finished charging, a charging completion signal is sent to the vehicle to instruct the vehicle to enable the automatic closing strategy of the vehicle charging port. This can disable the original automatic closing strategy of the charging port cover when the vehicle is being charged by the robot, and restore the strategy after charging is completed. This avoids the risk of damage to the charging port cover due to interference with the robot, which could lead to charging failure.

[0014] Furthermore, after receiving the charging enable signal from the vehicle and sending a charging start signal to the vehicle, the method further includes: A first radio frequency signal is generated based on the vehicle basic information and vehicle status information sent by the vehicle; wherein, the vehicle basic information includes the vehicle VIN and model, and the vehicle status information includes the vehicle SOC, target SOC, charging port cover status, vehicle gear position, and vehicle charging status. The first radio frequency signal is sent to the vehicle charging port; wherein the first radio frequency signal is used to control the vehicle charging port to open.

[0015] In the above process, the robot generates a first radio frequency signal based on the vehicle's basic information and status forwarded from the cloud, which is used to control the opening of the charging port cover.

[0016] Furthermore, the first radio frequency signal includes a first ID frame and a first function frame generated based on the vehicle basic information and the vehicle status information.

[0017] In the above implementation process, a first radio frequency signal is generated based on the vehicle's basic information and vehicle status information.

[0018] Furthermore, after sending the first radio frequency signal to the vehicle charging port, the method further includes: After the transmission duration of the first radio frequency signal reaches a first set duration, the vehicle charging port is scanned, and the location of the vehicle charging port is determined by combining the vehicle basic information and the vehicle status information. Connect the charging gun to the vehicle charging port according to the location of the vehicle charging port; Send a charging connection signal to the vehicle; wherein the charging connection signal is used to indicate that the charging gun is connected to the vehicle's charging port.

[0019] In the above implementation process, the robot controls the charging gun to charge the vehicle's charging port.

[0020] Furthermore, after determining that the vehicle has finished charging and sending a charging completion signal to the vehicle, the method further includes: A second radio frequency signal is generated based on the vehicle basic information and vehicle status information sent by the vehicle; wherein, the vehicle basic information includes the vehicle VIN and vehicle model, and the vehicle status information includes the target SOC and vehicle charging status. The second radio frequency signal is sent to the vehicle charging port; wherein the second radio frequency signal is used to control the vehicle charging port to close.

[0021] In the above process, the robot generates a second radio frequency signal based on the vehicle's basic information and vehicle status information forwarded from the cloud, which is used to control the charging port cover to close.

[0022] Furthermore, the second radio frequency signal includes a second ID frame and a second function frame generated based on the vehicle basic information and the vehicle status information.

[0023] In the above implementation process, a second radio frequency signal is generated based on the vehicle's basic information and vehicle status information.

[0024] Furthermore, before sending the second radio frequency signal to the vehicle charging port, the method further includes: Disconnect the charging gun from the vehicle's charging port based on its location.

[0025] In the above implementation process, after charging is completed, the connection between the charging gun and the charging port is disconnected.

[0026] Furthermore, the method also includes: Upon receiving the charging enable signal, robot status information is sent to the vehicle; wherein, the robot status information includes one or more of the following: the current occupancy status of the robot, the estimated usable time of the robot, the current charging status of the charging pile corresponding to the robot, and the estimated charging time of the charging pile.

[0027] During the above implementation process, the robot's status information is fed back to the vehicle to inform the vehicle whether the robot can be used for charging normally.

[0028] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle charging port strategy control device integrated into a vehicle, wherein the vehicle is connected to a robot via a cloud, and the device includes: A charging indicator module is used to send a charging enable signal to the robot when a charging command is detected; The strategy shielding module is used to shield the automatic shut-off strategy of the vehicle charging port when it receives a charging start signal sent by the robot.

It should be understood that the following drawings only show some embodiments of this application and should not be regarded as a limitation of the scope.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] It should be noted that in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only for distinguishing descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. Furthermore, the step numbers in the text are only for the convenience of explaining the embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the order in which the steps are performed. The methods provided in the embodiments of this application can be executed by related terminal devices, and the following description uses an integrated range extender as the execution subject.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a vehicle charging port strategy control method provided in an embodiment of this application. The method is applied to a vehicle connected to a robot via a cloud, and includes: Understandably, a vehicle-to-machine (V2M) charging system mainly consists of a vehicle, a cloud communication system, and a robot. The cloud communication system enables information interaction between the vehicle and the robot to ensure state synchronization. The robot, as the execution unit, needs to complete physical operations such as vehicle identification, requesting the charging port cover to open / close, positioning the charging gun, and performing charging.

[0038] 110. Upon detecting a charging command, send a charging enable signal to the robot.

[0039] Specifically, the charging command can be a command input by the user into the vehicle, or it can be a charging command triggered by the vehicle according to preset charging rules. When a charging command is detected, a charging enable signal is sent to the robot to start charging.

[0040] 120. Upon receiving the charging start signal from the robot, disable the automatic shut-off strategy of the vehicle's charging port.

[0041] Optionally, the received charging start signal can be an acknowledgment feedback signal, such as an ACK frame, returned by the robot after successfully receiving the charging enable signal; or it can be a charging status frame continuously sent by the robot.

[0042] Understandably, the automatic shut-off strategy for the vehicle's charging port is a preset strategy that automatically shuts off the charging port after a timeout. The timeout period can be set according to requirements.

[0043] 130. Upon receiving a charging completion signal from the robot, activate the automatic shut-off strategy for the vehicle's charging port.

[0044] The robot receives signals from the vehicle and sends signals to the vehicle throughout the charging process. When the vehicle receives the charging completion signal from the robot, it no longer needs to disable the automatic closing strategy of the vehicle's charging port. Instead, it can reopen the automatic closing strategy of the vehicle's charging port so that the vehicle can normally perform the automatic closing strategy of the charging port after a timeout.

[0045] As described above, this embodiment of the application sends a charging enable signal to the robot when a charging command is detected. When a charging start signal is received from the robot, the automatic closing strategy of the vehicle charging port is disabled. When a charging completion signal is received from the robot, the automatic closing strategy of the vehicle charging port is enabled. This can disable the original automatic closing strategy of the vehicle charging port cover during the charging process of the vehicle using the robot, and restore the strategy after charging is completed. This avoids the risk of damage caused by interference between the charging port cover and the robot, which could lead to charging failure.

[0046] Based on the above embodiments, the embodiments of this application can be further specified as follows: after receiving the charging start signal sent by the robot and disabling the automatic shut-off strategy of the vehicle charging port, the method further includes: The robot receives a first radio frequency signal sent by the robot; wherein the first radio frequency signal is generated by the robot based on vehicle basic information and vehicle status information, the vehicle basic information including vehicle VIN and vehicle model, and the vehicle status information including vehicle SOC, target SOC, charging port cover status, vehicle gear position and vehicle charging status. The vehicle charging port is activated based on the first radio frequency signal.

[0047] Among them, the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique identifier for a vehicle, consisting of 17 alphanumeric characters, equivalent to a vehicle's "ID card." Radio frequency signals are wireless signals, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, UWB (ultra-wideband), or radio waves in specific frequency bands, used for communication between the robot and the vehicle.

[0048] Specifically, based on the vehicle's VIN and model, the robot can locate the vehicle, identify the vehicle with the corresponding VIN and model, and avoid matching errors. At the same time, the robot generates a first radio frequency signal by combining information such as the status of the vehicle's charging port cover and sends it to the vehicle, so that the vehicle sends the first radio frequency signal to the vehicle's charging port to open the charging port.

[0049] Therefore, the robot generates a first radio frequency signal based on the vehicle's basic information and status information forwarded from the cloud, which is used to control the opening of the charging port cover.

[0050] Based on the above embodiments, the embodiments of this application can be further specified as follows: before activating the automatic shut-off strategy of the vehicle charging port after receiving the charging completion signal sent by the robot, the method further includes: The robot receives a second radio frequency signal; wherein the second radio frequency signal is generated by the robot based on vehicle basic information and vehicle status information, the vehicle basic information including vehicle VIN and vehicle model, and the vehicle status information including target SOC and vehicle charging status. The vehicle charging port is shut off according to the second radio frequency signal.

[0051] Specifically, based on the vehicle's VIN and model, the robot can locate the vehicle, identify the vehicle with the corresponding VIN and model, and avoid matching errors. At the same time, the vehicle sends real-time vehicle status information to the robot. The robot combines the vehicle's real-time charging port cover status and other information to generate a second radio frequency signal and send it to the vehicle. The second radio frequency signal is generated when the vehicle's charging status reaches a preset state or the vehicle's battery SOC reaches the target SOC.

[0052] When the vehicle receives the second radio frequency signal sent by the robot, it closes the vehicle's charging port according to the second radio frequency signal, and charging is complete. In addition, the robot sends a charging complete signal to the vehicle, so that the vehicle can activate the automatic closing strategy of the vehicle's charging port.

[0053] Therefore, the robot generates a second radio frequency signal based on the vehicle's basic information and status information forwarded from the cloud, which is used to control the charging port cover to close.

[0054] Based on the above embodiments, the embodiments of this application can be further specified as follows: the method further includes: Upon detecting the charging command, the system sends basic vehicle information to the robot and sends vehicle status information to the robot in real time.

[0055] This allows the robot to monitor the vehicle's charging status in real time and send a charging completion signal to the vehicle when charging is complete.

[0056] For example, after a user manually parks in a parking space or uses the smart parking system, the user actively triggers the robot's charging command. The vehicle then disables the automatic closing strategy of the charging port cover after a timeout. Simultaneously, the vehicle synchronizes its status information and basic vehicle information to the robot via the cloud. Based on the vehicle's basic information (VIN, vehicle model, etc.), the robot generates a first radio frequency (RF) signal and a second RF signal to control the opening and closing of the charging port cover. Before inserting the charging gun, the robot emits the first RF signal to control the opening of the cover. After charging is complete, the robot removes the charging gun and retracts it into place, then emits the second RF signal again to control the closing of the charging port cover and restores the charging port cover timeout strategy via the cloud.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a vehicle charging port strategy control method provided in an embodiment of this application. The method is applied to a robot connected to a vehicle via a cloud platform. The method includes: 210. Upon receiving a charging enable signal from the vehicle, send a charging start signal to the vehicle; wherein the charging start signal is used to instruct the vehicle to disable the automatic shutdown strategy of the vehicle's charging port.

[0058] Specifically, after receiving a charging instruction, the vehicle sends a charging enable signal to the robot to start charging; when the robot receives the charging enable signal, it sends a charging start signal to the vehicle.

[0059] Optionally, the charging start signal sent can be an acknowledgment feedback signal returned by the robot after successfully receiving the charging enable signal, such as an ACK frame; or it can be a charging status frame continuously sent by the robot.

[0060] Understandably, the automatic shut-off strategy for the vehicle's charging port is a preset strategy that automatically shuts off the charging port after a timeout. The timeout period can be set according to requirements.

[0061] 220. When it is determined that the vehicle has finished charging, a charging completion signal is sent to the vehicle; wherein the charging completion signal is used to instruct the vehicle to activate the automatic shut-off strategy of the vehicle charging port.

[0062] The robot receives signals from the vehicle and sends signals to the vehicle throughout the charging process. When the robot determines that charging is complete based on real-time vehicle status information, such as when the vehicle's charging status reaches a preset state or the vehicle's battery SOC reaches the target SOC, the robot generates a charging completion signal and sends it to the vehicle. When the vehicle receives the charging completion signal from the robot, it no longer needs to disable the automatic closing strategy of the vehicle's charging port. Instead, it can reopen the automatic closing strategy of the vehicle's charging port so that the vehicle can normally implement the strategy of automatically closing the vehicle's charging port after a timeout.

[0063] As described above, this embodiment of the application sends a charging start signal to the vehicle upon receiving a charging enable signal from the vehicle, instructing the vehicle to disable the automatic closing strategy of the vehicle's charging port. After determining that the vehicle has finished charging, it sends a charging completion signal to the vehicle, instructing the vehicle to enable the automatic closing strategy of the vehicle's charging port. This can disable the original automatic closing strategy of the charging port cover when the vehicle is being charged by a robot, and restore the strategy after charging is completed. This avoids the risk of damage to the charging port cover due to interference with the robot, which could lead to charging failure.

[0064] Based on the above embodiments, the embodiments of this application can be further specified as follows: after receiving the charging enable signal sent by the vehicle and sending a charging start signal to the vehicle, the method further includes: A first radio frequency signal is generated based on the vehicle basic information and vehicle status information sent by the vehicle; wherein, the vehicle basic information includes the vehicle VIN and model, and the vehicle status information includes the vehicle SOC, target SOC, charging port cover status, vehicle gear position, and vehicle charging status. The first radio frequency signal is sent to the vehicle charging port; wherein the first radio frequency signal is used to control the vehicle charging port to open.

[0065] Specifically, the robot identifies and locates the vehicle based on its VIN and model, ensuring that the vehicle matches the correct VIN and model to avoid mismatches. At the same time, the robot generates a first radio frequency signal by combining information such as the status of the vehicle's charging port cover and sends it to the vehicle, causing the vehicle to send the first radio frequency signal to the charging port to open the charging port.

[0066] Therefore, the robot generates a first radio frequency signal based on the vehicle's basic information and status forwarded from the cloud, which is used to control the opening of the charging port cover.

[0067] Based on the above embodiments, the embodiments of this application can be further specified as follows: the first radio frequency signal includes a first ID frame and a first function frame generated according to the vehicle basic information and the vehicle status information.

[0068] Specifically, the first radio frequency signal mainly includes a first ID frame and a first functional frame; the first ID frame and the first functional frame are generated based on basic vehicle information and vehicle status information. Optionally, the first ID frame includes: vehicle identification number (VIN), battery parameters, and other flag bits, etc. The first functional frame includes vehicle state of charge (SOC), target SOC, charging port cover status, vehicle charging status, vehicle gear position, etc.

[0069] For example, the ID frame is generated by uploading the vehicle's VIN. The ID frame consists of the year, generation sequence number, and manufacturer information. Optionally, the 2nd and 3rd bits of the VIN represent the manufacturer, the 10th bit represents the year, and bits 13-17 represent the generation sequence number. The function frame is used by the vehicle to determine whether the received radio frequency signal is an instruction to open or close the cover, for example, by using 0 and 1 to distinguish them, where 0 represents closing the cover and 1 represents opening the cover.

[0070] Thus, the first radio frequency signal is generated based on the vehicle's basic information and vehicle status information.

[0071] Based on the above embodiments, the embodiments of this application can be further specified as follows: after sending the first radio frequency signal to the vehicle charging port, the method further includes: After the transmission duration of the first radio frequency signal reaches a first set duration, the vehicle charging port is scanned, and the location of the vehicle charging port is determined by combining the vehicle basic information and the vehicle status information. Connect the charging gun to the vehicle charging port according to the location of the vehicle charging port; Send a charging connection signal to the vehicle; wherein the charging connection signal is used to indicate that the charging gun is connected to the vehicle's charging port.

[0072] The first set duration is a preset delay or condition to ensure the vehicle has sufficient time to be woken up, respond, and prepare for the next interaction, avoiding a situation where immediate scanning after signal transmission might not yield a response. Scanning the vehicle's charging port involves acquiring visual or 3D point cloud information of the charging port. For example, visual scanning uses visual sensors (such as RGB cameras, depth cameras, or LiDAR) to capture images or perform 3D scanning of the vehicle's side or rear areas to locate the charging port cover or the charging port itself. The location of the vehicle's charging port is obtained by combining basic vehicle information and vehicle status information. Optionally, the location can be obtained by combining vehicle model, charging port status, and vehicle posture information: A precise 3D model and relative position of the charging port for that vehicle model are retrieved from a pre-stored database. If the charging port status is "charging port cover open" or "charging port lock unlocked," the robot's scanning system is informed that the target can begin precise positioning. If the vehicle is not parked correctly, it can send its tilt angle or parking angle to help the charging system adjust the robotic arm's path. Thus, the precise 3D coordinates and posture (such as rotation angle) of the vehicle's charging port in the charging device's coordinate system are obtained.

[0073] Optionally, the robot can scan the charging gun to obtain its position. Specifically, the robot can self-locate the charging gun using the joint encoder of its robotic arm and observe and calibrate it using an external vision system. Based on the position of the charging gun, the robot can grasp it and precisely drive each joint of its robotic arm to complete trajectory tracking by calculating a safe and collision-free motion trajectory. Finally, a dedicated end effector can reliably grasp and hold the charging gun.

[0074] For example, the robot's vision sensors determine the location of the target (charging port) and obtain the charging gun's position. The robot's robotic arm encoder (self-localization) obtains the current position of the charging gun in real time. The robot's control system calculates the optimal motion path from the charging gun to the charging port and drives the motors of each joint of the robotic arm to move along this path. During the approach, the charging port is continuously scanned, and the robotic arm path is fine-tuned in a closed loop to compensate for vehicle shaking or positioning errors, ensuring accurate and smooth insertion. After the charging gun and the vehicle's charging port are connected, a signal indicating successful connection is sent to the vehicle, informing the vehicle of the connection status and charging status of the charging gun and the vehicle's charging port.

[0075] Based on the above embodiments, the embodiments of this application can be further specified as follows: after determining that the vehicle has completed charging and sending a charging completion signal to the vehicle, the method further includes: A second radio frequency signal is generated based on the vehicle basic information and vehicle status information sent by the vehicle; wherein, the vehicle basic information includes the vehicle VIN and vehicle model, and the vehicle status information includes the target SOC and vehicle charging status. The second radio frequency signal is sent to the vehicle charging port; wherein the second radio frequency signal is used to control the vehicle charging port to close.

[0076] Specifically, based on the vehicle's VIN and model, the robot can locate the vehicle, identify the vehicle with the corresponding VIN and model, and avoid matching errors. At the same time, the vehicle sends real-time vehicle status information to the robot. The robot combines the vehicle's real-time charging port cover status and other information to generate a second radio frequency signal and send it to the vehicle. The second radio frequency signal is generated when the vehicle's charging status reaches a preset state or the vehicle's battery SOC reaches the target SOC.

[0077] When the vehicle receives the second radio frequency signal sent by the robot, it closes the vehicle's charging port according to the second radio frequency signal, and charging is complete. In addition, the robot sends a charging complete signal to the vehicle, so that the vehicle can activate the automatic closing strategy of the vehicle's charging port.

[0078] Therefore, the robot generates a second radio frequency signal based on the vehicle's basic information and status information forwarded from the cloud, which is used to control the charging port cover to close.

[0079] Based on the above embodiments, the embodiments of this application can be further specified as follows: the second radio frequency signal includes a second ID frame and a second function frame generated according to the vehicle basic information and the vehicle status information.

[0080] Specifically, the second radio frequency signal mainly includes a second ID frame and a second functional frame; the second ID frame and the second functional frame are generated based on basic vehicle information and vehicle status information. Optionally, the second ID frame includes: vehicle identification number (VIN), battery parameters, and other flag bits, etc. The second functional frame includes vehicle state of charge (SOC), target SOC, charging port cover status, vehicle charging status, vehicle gear position, etc.

[0081] For example, the ID frame is generated by uploading the vehicle's VIN. The ID frame consists of the year, generation sequence number, and manufacturer information. Optionally, the 2nd and 3rd bits of the VIN represent the manufacturer, the 10th bit represents the year, and bits 13-17 represent the generation sequence number. The function frame is used by the vehicle to determine whether the received radio frequency signal is an instruction to open or close the cover, for example, by using 0 and 1 to distinguish them, where 0 represents closing the cover and 1 represents opening the cover.

[0082] Thus, a second radio frequency signal can be generated based on the vehicle's basic information and vehicle status information.

[0083] Based on the above embodiments, the embodiments of this application can be further specified as follows: before sending the second radio frequency signal to the vehicle charging port, the method further includes: Disconnect the charging gun from the vehicle's charging port based on its location.

[0084] Optional, charging termination trigger conditions: Reaching target SOC: The vehicle battery has been charged to the user-set capacity (e.g., 80% or 100%); Remote stop by user: The user manually stops charging via the App; Fault or abnormality: Any abnormality detected in the system requires emergency termination.

[0085] Specifically, the charging station and the vehicle's BMS first negotiate to stop charging via a communication protocol (CAN bus). The BMS then disconnects the internal high-voltage relays to ensure the charging gun head is no longer energized. The robot pulls out the charging gun from the vehicle's charging port location. Although the charging gun is still plugged into the vehicle, the location of the charging port is known (or can be visually reconfirmed). The real-time position of the charging gun is continuously known through the robotic arm's encoder. The robot places the charging gun back onto the charging base, and the robotic arm's end effector releases its grip on the charging gun (e.g., releasing the latch or loosening the gripper), returning to the standby position. The entire robot system is reset, ready to serve the next vehicle.

[0086] In the above implementation process, after charging is completed, the connection between the charging gun and the charging port is disconnected.

[0087] Based on the above embodiments, the embodiments of this application can be further specified as follows: the method further includes: Upon receiving the charging enable signal, robot status information is sent to the vehicle; wherein, the robot status information includes one or more of the following: the current occupancy status of the robot, the estimated usable time of the robot, the current charging status of the charging pile corresponding to the robot, and the estimated charging time of the charging pile.

[0088] Specifically, after receiving a charging enable signal, the robot can send robot status information to the vehicle. This information includes one or more of the following: the robot's current occupancy status, its estimated usage time, the current charging status of the charging station, and the estimated charging time of the charging station. For example, if the robot is not currently occupied by another vehicle, its estimated usage time meets the vehicle's needs, the charging station is not charging other vehicles, and its estimated charging time meets the vehicle's charging needs, the vehicle can choose whether to use the robot directly or freely. If the robot is used, the automatic shutdown policy of the vehicle's charging port is disabled; if the robot is not used, a new robot is matched. If the robot status information does not meet the above conditions, a new robot is matched.

[0089] During the above implementation process, the robot's status information is fed back to the vehicle to inform the vehicle whether the robot can be used for charging normally.

[0090] The steps described above are not strictly performed in the order of their numbers; they should be understood as a whole.

[0091] Thirdly, based on the above embodiments, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a vehicle charging port strategy control device provided in an embodiment of this application. (Reference) Figure 3 The vehicle charging port strategy control device provided in this embodiment is integrated into the vehicle. The vehicle is connected to the robot via the cloud. The device includes a charging indicator module 301, a strategy shielding module 302, and a strategy activation module 303.

[0092] The charging indicator module 301 is used to send a charging enable signal to the robot when a charging command is detected; the strategy shielding module 302 is used to shield the automatic closing strategy of the vehicle charging port after receiving the charging start signal sent by the robot; the strategy enabling module 303 is used to enable the automatic closing strategy of the vehicle charging port after receiving the charging completion signal sent by the robot.

[0093] As described above, this embodiment of the application sends a charging enable signal to the robot when a charging command is detected. When a charging start signal is received from the robot, the automatic closing strategy of the vehicle charging port is disabled. When a charging completion signal is received from the robot, the automatic closing strategy of the vehicle charging port is enabled. This can disable the original automatic closing strategy of the vehicle charging port cover during the charging process of the vehicle using the robot, and restore the strategy after charging is completed. This avoids the risk of damage caused by interference between the charging port cover and the robot, which could lead to charging failure.

[0094] The vehicle charging port strategy control device provided in this application embodiment can be used to execute the vehicle charging port strategy control method provided in the above embodiment, and has corresponding functions and beneficial effects.

The device includes a shielding indicator module 401 and an opening indicator module 402.

[0096] The shielding indication module 401 is used to send a charging start signal to the vehicle after receiving a charging enable signal from the vehicle; wherein the charging start signal is used to instruct the vehicle to shield the automatic closing strategy of the vehicle charging port; the opening indication module 402 is used to send a charging completion signal to the vehicle after determining that the vehicle has completed charging; wherein the charging completion signal is used to instruct the vehicle to open the automatic closing strategy of the vehicle charging port.

[0097] As described above, this embodiment of the application sends a charging start signal to the vehicle upon receiving a charging enable signal from the vehicle, instructing the vehicle to disable the automatic closing strategy of the vehicle's charging port. After determining that the vehicle has finished charging, it sends a charging completion signal to the vehicle, instructing the vehicle to enable the automatic closing strategy of the vehicle's charging port. This can disable the original automatic closing strategy of the charging port cover when the vehicle is being charged by a robot, and restore the strategy after charging is completed. This avoids the risk of damage to the charging port cover due to interference with the robot, which could lead to charging failure.

[0098] The vehicle charging port strategy control device provided in this application embodiment can be used to execute the vehicle charging port strategy control method provided in the above embodiment, and has corresponding functions and beneficial effects.
