Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of charging, in particular to a charging port cover opening method and device, electronic equipment and vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the large-scale popularization of automobiles, there are more and more ways to supplement energy for vehicles, which are no longer limited to being uniformly supplemented by staff. For example, unlike most refueling processes being uniformly completed by staff, most charging operations in public charging scenarios need to be performed by users themselves, including steps such as finding a charging pile, taking out a charging gun, inserting the gun and starting charging. In order to improve the convenience of charging, some vehicle manufacturers configure an automatic opening function of a charging port cover on the vehicle, so that the user can dispense with additional cover opening operations when holding the charging gun, thereby improving the use experience.

[0003] The current common automatic cover opening technology usually relies on a wireless communication module (such as a radio frequency signal, a Bluetooth signal, etc.) at the end of the charging pile. Taking charging as an example, after the user presses a trigger button on the charging gun, the end of the charging pile will broadcast an opening signal to the surrounding area, and the vehicle end receives the signal and performs an opening action. However, this automatic cover opening process relies on the end of the charging pile, and problems such as brand compatibility and false opening may occur, which seriously affect the use experience. SUMMARY

[0004] The problem solved by the present application is how to improve the universality and efficiency of automatic cover opening.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present application provides a charging port cover opening method, device, electronic equipment and vehicle.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides a charging port cover opening method, comprising: In response to trigger information, calling a perception module corresponding to a charging port area of a vehicle to obtain perception data, wherein the trigger information includes at least one of a received gun taking signal issued by a charging pile end and information that the vehicle is parked in a target charging parking space; According to the perception data, identifying whether there is a charging process feature for representing that a user is performing a charging preparation action, and when the charging process feature exists, controlling the charging port cover of the vehicle to be opened.

[0007] Optionally, the response to the trigger information includes: When detecting any one of the gun taking signal and the vehicle parking in the target charging parking space, enabling a camera corresponding to the charging port area of the vehicle, wherein the shooting range of the camera includes the charging port area of the vehicle; Collecting image data of the charging port area of the vehicle by the camera as the perception data.

[0008] Optionally, the step of responding to the trigger information by calling the sensing module corresponding to the vehicle charging port area to obtain sensing data further includes: When the camera malfunctions, the distance sensor corresponding to the vehicle charging port area is activated, wherein the distance sensor includes an onboard radar. The distance sensor collects distance data between the charging gun and the charging port as the sensing data.

[0009] Optionally, when the triggering information includes receiving a gun-retrieval signal from the charging station, the step of identifying whether there are charging process features characterizing that the user is performing a charging preparation action based on the sensing data includes: The movement trajectory of the charging gun is determined based on the perceived data; When the movement trajectory indicates that the charging gun is moving toward the charging port, the charging process feature is determined to exist.

[0010] Optionally, determining the movement trajectory of the charging gun based on the sensing data includes: The movement trajectory is determined based on the position of the charging gun in consecutive image frames, or based on the change in distance between the charging gun and the charging port.

[0011] Optionally, when the triggering information includes receiving information that a vehicle has parked in the target charging space, the charging port cover opening method further includes: When the vehicle arrives at the target charging parking space and the parking space lock is engaged, the charging port cover is controlled to enter the pre-opening state. In the pre-opening state, when the vehicle is in the parking position and the door is unlocked, the charging port cover is opened according to the remote control command of the mobile terminal or the charging port cover is opened directly.

[0012] Optionally, when the triggering information includes receiving information that a vehicle has parked in the target charging space, the charging port cover opening method further includes: When the vehicle arrives at the target charging parking space and the parking space lock is engaged, the charging port cover is controlled to enter the pre-opening state. In the pre-open state, the door opening signal of the vehicle is detected within a preset time. If the door opening signal is detected within the preset time, the charging port cover is controlled to open in response to the cover opening signal output by the charging pile.

[0013] Secondly, the present invention provides a charging port cover opening device, comprising: The first module is used to respond to the trigger information and call the sensing module corresponding to the vehicle charging port area to obtain sensing data. The trigger information includes at least one of receiving a gun retrieval signal from the charging pile end and information that the vehicle has parked in the target charging space. The second module is used to identify, based on the sensing data, whether there are charging process features that characterize the user performing a charging preparation action, and when the charging process features are present, to control the vehicle's charging port cover to open.

[0014] Thirdly, the present invention provides an electronic device, including a memory and a processor; The memory is used to store computer programs; The processor is configured to implement the charging port cover opening method as described in the first aspect when executing the computer program.

[0015] Fourthly, the present invention provides a vehicle including the electronic equipment described in the third aspect.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the charging port cover opening method of the present invention are as follows: by using the gun-taking signal and the target charging vehicle location information as the trigger basis, and combining the perception data of the charging port area for identification and judgment, it can automatically identify the real charging preparation action in various types of charging station environments without relying on the proprietary protocol or fixed electromagnetic coverage of the charging pile. Compared with the solution that relies solely on wireless signal triggering, it can significantly reduce the probability of accidental opening of the cover, enhance the applicability across brands and stations, and improve the reliability and general usability of the automatic cover opening function.

[0021] It should be noted that the terms "one" and "more" used in this invention are illustrative rather than restrictive. Those skilled in the art should understand that, unless otherwise expressly indicated in the context, they should be understood as "one or more".

[0022] The names of the messages or information exchanged between the multiple devices in the embodiments of the present invention are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of these messages or information.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for opening a charging port cover, comprising: S100: In response to the trigger information, the sensing module corresponding to the vehicle charging port area is invoked to obtain sensing data, wherein the trigger information includes at least one of receiving a gun retrieval signal from the charging pile end and information that the vehicle has parked in the target charging space.

[0024] Specifically, taking charging as an example, for charging stations equipped with wireless communication automatic cover opening technology, before the vehicle starts charging, the user retrieves the charging gun from the charging pile, triggering the transmission of a wireless signal (i.e., the gun retrieval signal). After receiving the gun retrieval signal, the vehicle calls the sensing module corresponding to the vehicle's charging port area to obtain sensing data. Exemplary sensing modules include cameras used to capture images of the charging port area on the outside of the vehicle, or distance sensors used to detect the distance to objects outside the vehicle. For charging stations without wireless communication automatic cover opening technology, when the vehicle arrives at the parking space, it can confirm whether the parking space is the target charging space through the charging station's camera, electronic geofence on the map, or 360-degree images before parking. If so, it calls the sensing module corresponding to the vehicle's charging port area to obtain sensing data, so that even charging stations without automatic cover opening technology can provide an automatic cover opening charging experience.

[0025] S200: Based on the sensing data, identify whether there are charging process features that characterize the user performing a charging preparation action; when the charging process features exist, control the vehicle's charging port cover to open.

[0026] Specifically, based on the sensing data, it identifies whether there are charging process characteristics that represent the user performing charging preparation actions, such as the user holding the charging gun close to the vehicle's charging port, or the trajectory changes of the charging gun moving towards the charging port at continuous intervals. When charging process characteristics are present, an opening command is sent to the vehicle's charging port cover control device to automatically open the charging port cover.

[0027] In this embodiment, in addition to opening the charging port cover for charging, it can also be used to control the refueling port cover of a gasoline vehicle and the hydrogen filling port cover of a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. For ease of explanation, the following embodiments will focus on charging.

[0028] Traditional solutions typically require vehicles to decode the charging station's proprietary cover-opening protocol or rely on fixed trigger areas such as near-field communication or electromagnetic coils near the charging station to complete the cover-opening action. Significant differences in protocols and electromagnetic structures exist between different charging stations and charging station types, often requiring vehicles to park precisely within a designated area at the charging station to trigger the cover-opening operation. If the vehicle deviates from its designated position or the charging station signal weakens, cover-opening may fail or be mistakenly triggered, resulting in a small trigger range, poor environmental adaptability, and insufficient cross-brand compatibility. This embodiment uses trigger information derived from the user's general operational behavior (such as picking up the charging gun) and the vehicle's own positioning capabilities, rather than relying on specific cover-opening commands or protocol data provided by the charging station. Therefore, it eliminates the need to adapt to proprietary communication protocols from different manufacturers. Furthermore, the final cover-opening decision is autonomously made by the vehicle using sensing devices such as cameras and distance sensors. By recognizing charging preparation actions such as the charging gun approaching and changes in its trajectory, it determines whether to execute the cover-opening action, thus eliminating the requirement for the electromagnetic signal coverage range of the charging station and no longer relying on the distance and angle limitations of the charging station's trigger area.

[0029] In this embodiment, by using the gun-taking signal and the target charging space location information as triggering criteria, and combining the perception data of the charging port area for identification and judgment, it can automatically identify the actual charging preparation action in various charging station environments without relying on the proprietary protocol or fixed electromagnetic coverage of the charging pile. Compared with the solution that relies solely on wireless signal triggering, it can significantly reduce the probability of accidental opening of the cover, enhance the applicability across brands and stations, and improve the reliability and general usability of the automatic cover opening function.

[0030] Optionally, the step of responding to the trigger information by calling the sensing module corresponding to the vehicle charging port area to obtain sensing data includes: S110: When either the gun retrieval signal or the vehicle parking in the target charging space is detected, the camera corresponding to the vehicle charging port area is activated, wherein the camera's shooting range includes the vehicle charging port area.

[0031] Specifically, in combination Figure 2 As shown, when the vehicle receives the gun-retrieval signal from the charging pile or when the vehicle actually parks in the target charging space, the vehicle automatically activates the camera located in the charging port area, which has a field of view covering the charging port area.

[0032] In this embodiment, the camera can be reused from intelligent driving, 360-degree imaging, and other vehicle cameras, without the need for additional hardware.

[0033] S120: The camera captures image data of the vehicle charging port area as the sensing data.

[0034] Specifically, in combination Figure 2As shown, image data of the vehicle's charging port area is collected by a camera as perception data, including necessary information such as the user holding the charging gun, the trajectory of the charging gun, and the positional relationship of the charging port, to determine whether the user is performing charging preparation actions.

[0035] In this optional embodiment, by activating the camera to capture images after detecting a multi-source triggering event, the visual recognition process can be actively activated under different site conditions, no longer relying on a single wireless triggering method. This allows the vehicle to autonomously decide when to activate visual judgment based on the actual scenario, thereby improving the accuracy and timeliness of the automatic cover opening process and avoiding false triggering problems caused by inaccurate signal coverage at the pile end.

[0036] Optionally, the step of responding to the trigger information by calling the sensing module corresponding to the vehicle charging port area to obtain sensing data further includes: S130: When the camera malfunctions, the distance sensor corresponding to the vehicle charging port area is activated, wherein the distance sensor includes an onboard radar.

[0037] Specifically, in combination Figure 3 As shown, when the camera image cannot be used effectively due to obstruction, dirt, insufficient light at night, or hardware malfunction, the distance sensor corresponding to the vehicle charging port area is activated, such as the vehicle radar installed on the front or rear of the vehicle.

[0038] S140: The distance data between the charging gun and the charging port is collected by the distance sensor as the sensing data.

[0039] Specifically, in combination Figure 3 As shown, the distance sensor continuously detects the distance to objects outside the charging port area, such as the relative distance between the front end of the charging gun and the vehicle's charging port.

[0040] In some implementations, the distance between the user and the charging port can also be used as auxiliary judgment information.

[0041] In this optional embodiment, when the camera cannot effectively identify due to obstruction, insufficient lighting, or hardware malfunction, the relative distance between the charging gun and the charging port is collected by the distance sensor. This ensures that the automatic opening logic can still be reliably executed in scenarios where vision is unavailable, making the identification process independent of a single sensor and reducing identification failures caused by camera failure.

[0042] In certain scenarios, such as shopping mall parking lots or densely populated parking areas, vehicles may frequently approach charging areas. To prevent accidental triggering of the camera's data collection process, the vehicle is equipped with a charging space trigger switch. Users can choose to turn this switch on or off in the vehicle system according to their usage scenario. When the switch is on, the vehicle's location information can be used as trigger information to activate the sensing module. When the switch is off, the vehicle's location information will not trigger the camera; only the gun retrieval signal or other trigger conditions can activate the sensing module. When the switch is on, the charging cover can be opened even without a gun retrieval signal, but combining the gun retrieval signal can accelerate the identification of charging process features. By setting a controllable location information trigger switch, users can flexibly decide whether to allow location information as a trigger condition based on the actual site layout and parking environment. This effectively prevents the vehicle from prematurely initiating the automatic identification process due to misjudging that it has entered a charging space, thereby avoiding unnecessary energy consumption and accidental triggering in non-charging scenarios and improving the controllability and safety of the triggering logic.

[0043] Optionally, when the triggering information includes receiving a gun-retrieval signal from the charging station, the step of identifying whether there are charging process features characterizing that the user is performing a charging preparation action based on the sensing data includes: S210: Determine the movement trajectory of the charging gun based on the sensing data.

[0044] Specifically, in combination Figure 4 As shown, after the vehicle's perception module collects image data or distance data, it obtains the position coordinates of the charging gun in consecutive image frames through image processing algorithms or other algorithms.

[0045] S220: When the movement trajectory indicates that the charging gun is moving toward the charging port, it is determined that the charging process feature exists.

[0046] Specifically, in combination Figure 4 As shown, the movement trajectory of the charging gun is formed by tracking these continuous coordinates. If the trajectory shows a trend of moving from away from the charging port to closer to the charging port, it is determined that the user is performing an operation to approach the charging gun, that is, there are charging process characteristics. For example, when the charging gun shows a trend of moving towards the charging port in the image for more than three consecutive frames, it can be regarded as a valid charging preparation action.

[0047] In this optional embodiment, by generating the movement trajectory of the charging gun based on the sensing data and determining whether it is moving towards the charging port, the continuous actions of the user from taking the gun, approaching it, to preparing to insert the gun can be accurately identified. This judgment method is based on user behavior characteristics rather than a single instantaneous signal, which fundamentally improves the accuracy of charging intention recognition, avoids the problem of accidental opening of the cover caused by relying solely on wireless signals, and greatly reduces the sensitivity to environmental interference.

[0048] Optionally, determining the movement trajectory of the charging gun based on the sensing data includes: The movement trajectory is determined based on the position of the charging gun in consecutive image frames, or based on the change in distance between the charging gun and the charging port.

[0049] Specifically, in one approach, the vehicle calculates the charging gun's trajectory in a two-dimensional image coordinate system by utilizing the image position of the charging gun in consecutive camera image frames. For example, the vehicle can use consecutive image frames captured by the camera to identify the position of the charging gun in each frame through target detection or image processing algorithms. The identification process can employ traditional image feature methods or a deep learning-based target detection model. If a deep learning model is used, it can be obtained through supervised training on labeled image data containing different lighting environments, different charging gun shapes, and user actions. The specific model structure and training method are not limited. After obtaining the charging gun position in consecutive image frames, the vehicle can associate each position in chronological order to form the charging gun's trajectory. In another approach, when using data collected by a distance sensor, the vehicle uses the changes in distance between the charging gun and the charging port at consecutive moments to form a trajectory based on distance data. For example, if the distance shows a continuously decreasing trend at multiple moments, it can be considered that the charging gun is approaching the charging port. Typically, the charging port cover can be opened when the distance between the charging gun and the charging port is less than 30cm. These two approaches can be automatically switched according to the data type of the sensing module and can be used simultaneously, with the distance sensor serving as an effective supplement to visual recognition.

[0050] In this optional embodiment, by simultaneously supporting two types of trajectory generation methods, the system can automatically switch to the distance-based trajectory analysis method when visual recognition capabilities are limited, thereby ensuring the continuous judgment capability of charging preparation actions, enabling the system to adapt to different lighting, weather, obstruction and equipment conditions, and improving the consistency and accuracy of charging action recognition.

[0051] Optionally, when the triggering information includes receiving information that a vehicle has parked in the target charging space, the charging port cover opening method further includes: When the vehicle arrives at the target charging parking space and the parking space lock is engaged, the charging port cover is controlled to enter a pre-opening state. In the pre-opening state, when the vehicle is in the parking position and the door is unlocked, the charging port cover is controlled to open according to the remote control command of the mobile terminal or the charging port cover is directly controlled to open.

[0052] Specifically, to prevent gasoline vehicles from occupying charging spots or to enable scheduled charging, some charging stations are equipped with parking space locks (i.e., ground locks). In this case, the electronic geofence function on the map can be used to unlock the ground lock. Users select a charging parking space on the large screen map page and lower the corresponding parking space lock (this can also be done through a mobile APP). After the parking space lock is lowered, the charging port cover enters a pre-opening state. In the pre-opening state, when the vehicle is in the park position and the door is unlocked, the charging port cover can be opened by remote control of the mobile terminal or by directly controlling the opening of the charging port cover.

[0053] In this optional embodiment, in a specific charging scenario equipped with a parking lock, by combining conditions such as the vehicle reaching a parking space, parking, unlocking, and the parking lock lowering, it is ensured that only vehicles that are actually in the charging preparation state can trigger the subsequent opening process; at the same time, the final opening action can be performed by a mobile terminal, which can be seamlessly integrated with the station reservation, QR code lowering and other operational mechanisms, effectively avoiding accidental opening of the cover by vehicles that have not entered the parking space or have not made a reservation, thereby significantly improving the station's operational safety and user experience.

[0054] Optionally, when the triggering information includes receiving information that a vehicle has parked in the target charging space, the charging port cover opening method further includes: When the vehicle arrives at the target charging parking space and the parking space lock is engaged, the charging port cover is controlled to enter a pre-opening state. In the pre-opening state, the door opening signal of the vehicle is detected within a preset time. If the door opening signal is detected within the preset time, the charging port cover is controlled to open in response to the opening signal output by the charging pile.

[0055] Specifically, when a vehicle arrives at the target charging space and the parking space lock is engaged, the charging pile can send a wireless opening signal to the vehicle to control the charging port cover to enter a pre-opening state. In the pre-opening state, someone must get out of the vehicle within a preset time (e.g., 5 minutes) to detect the door opening signal. Only then will the charging port cover open according to the wireless opening signal. Opening is not supported by the wireless opening signal alone.

[0056] Before responding to the trigger information and calling the sensing module corresponding to the vehicle charging port area to obtain sensing data, the process also includes: When the vehicle arrives at the target charging parking space and the parking space lock is engaged, the charging port cover is controlled to enter a pre-opening state; in the pre-opening state, it is determined whether a trigger message has been received.

[0057] In certain reservation-based charging scenarios with parking space locks, the lock status indicates whether a vehicle has actually occupied and used the parking space. When a vehicle approaches the target charging space, the vehicle control system first checks whether the parking space lock is in a locked or permitted parking state. After the lock is successfully locked and the vehicle is allowed to park, the system uses the vehicle positioning system, parking system, or parking space recognition function to determine that the vehicle has been parked within the target charging space. After meeting the prerequisites of the lock being locked and the vehicle being parked, the system further activates the sensing module to acquire sensing data when either the gun retrieval signal or the vehicle is parked in the target charging space is detected. That is, the lock is used as a prerequisite for "whether triggering is permitted", while the gun retrieval signal and the vehicle's parking status are combined conditions for "actual triggering". Through this combination, it is possible to more accurately determine whether the current vehicle belongs to a reserved vehicle in the parking space scenario with a lock, avoiding vehicles without the right to use the parking space from accidentally triggering the opening logic.

[0058] In this optional embodiment, the final opening action is allowed to be performed by the charging pile signal, which effectively avoids accidental opening of the cover for vehicles that have not entered the parking space or have not made a reservation, thereby significantly improving the safety of the station operation and the user experience.
