Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of hydrogen fuel technology, and in particular to a management method and computer device for an exchangeable hydrogen storage module. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, awareness of mitigating the global greenhouse effect has increased, particularly in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from vehicles. This has led to the widespread development of hydrogen-powered vehicles, such as fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen engine vehicles. These vehicles are generally equipped with hydrogen storage modules filled with hydrogen as a hydrogen supply source. Currently, refillable hydrogen storage modules are commonly used; when hydrogen is insufficient, the vehicle is driven to a hydrogen refueling station for refueling. However, if large commercial vehicles with high hydrogen consumption (such as heavy-duty trucks) use refillable hydrogen storage modules, there is a problem of excessively long refueling times, which affects commercial efficiency. Therefore, the use of exchangeable hydrogen storage modules is being considered to shorten refueling time.

[0003] As a novel refueling method, there is an urgent need for a convenient and efficient management method for exchangeable hydrogen storage modules. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a management method and computer device for exchangeable hydrogen storage modules. When the number of empty hydrogen storage modules in a hydrogen storage module exchange station exceeds a threshold for the number of empty hydrogen storage modules, a first prompt message is sent to a first target user terminal to improve the management efficiency of the hydrogen storage modules.

[0007] In some embodiments, the first selection strategy includes at least one of the following: determining each distance between each first hydrogen storage module transport vehicle and the hydrogen storage module exchange station, and determining the first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle based on the first hydrogen storage module transport vehicle corresponding to the minimum distance; determining each distance between each first hydrogen storage module transport vehicle and the hydrogen storage module exchange station, and determining multiple first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicles in ascending order of distance based on the number of empty hydrogen storage modules, wherein the sum of the number of hydrogen storage modules loaded in each first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle is not less than the number of empty hydrogen storage modules; determining each driving route between each first hydrogen storage module transport vehicle and the hydrogen storage module exchange station, determining the optimal driving route based on the current road conditions and length of each driving route, and determining the first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle based on the first hydrogen storage module transport vehicle corresponding to the optimal driving route.

[0008] In some embodiments, after sending the first prompt message to the first target user terminal, the method further includes: if no confirmation message is received from the first target user terminal within a specified time period, determining a new first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle from other first hydrogen storage module transport vehicles besides the first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle according to the first selected strategy; and sending the first prompt message to the user terminal corresponding to the new first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle.

[0009] Secondly, a management method for exchangeable hydrogen storage modules is provided, comprising: in response to obtaining the number of empty hydrogen storage modules at a hydrogen storage module exchange station, determining whether the number of empty hydrogen storage modules is greater than a threshold for the number of empty hydrogen storage modules; if the number of empty hydrogen storage modules is greater than the threshold for the number of empty hydrogen storage modules, sending a request for full hydrogen storage modules to a hydrogen storage module filling station; in response to obtaining the number of full hydrogen storage modules at the hydrogen storage module filling station, determining whether the number of full hydrogen storage modules is greater than a threshold for the number of full hydrogen storage modules; if the number of full hydrogen storage modules is greater than the threshold for the number of full hydrogen storage modules, sending a second prompt message to a second target user terminal.

[0010] In some embodiments, before sending the second prompt information to the second target user terminal, the method further includes: searching for a second hydrogen storage module delivery vehicle located within a specified range of the hydrogen storage module filling station; and determining the user terminal corresponding to the second target hydrogen storage module delivery vehicle determined according to the second selected strategy as the second target user terminal.

[0011] In some embodiments, the second selection strategy includes at least one of the following: determining each distance between each second hydrogen storage module transport vehicle and the hydrogen storage module filling station, and determining the second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle based on the second hydrogen storage module transport vehicle corresponding to the minimum distance; determining each distance between each second hydrogen storage module transport vehicle and the hydrogen storage module filling station, and determining multiple second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicles in ascending order of distance based on the number of empty hydrogen storage modules, wherein the sum of the number of hydrogen storage modules that each second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle can carry is not less than the number of empty hydrogen storage modules; determining each driving route between each second hydrogen storage module transport vehicle and the hydrogen storage module filling station, determining the optimal driving route based on the current road conditions and length of each driving route, and determining the second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle based on the second hydrogen storage module transport vehicle corresponding to the optimal driving route.

[0012] In some embodiments, after sending the second prompt message to the second target user terminal, the method further includes: if no confirmation message is received from the second target terminal within a specified time period, determining a new second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle from other second hydrogen storage module transport vehicles besides the second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle according to the second selected strategy; and sending the second prompt message to the user terminal corresponding to the new second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle.

[0013] In some embodiments, the method further includes: performing a hydrogen charging operation to increase the number of full hydrogen storage modules when the number of full hydrogen storage modules is not greater than the threshold number of full hydrogen storage modules.

[0014] Thirdly, a computer device is provided, including a processor, a memory, and a computer program stored in the memory, wherein the processor executes the computer program to implement the steps of the management method for an exchangeable hydrogen storage module as described in the first or second aspect.

If the number of empty hydrogen storage modules exceeds the threshold, a first notification message is sent to the first target user terminal. Thus, when there are a large number of empty hydrogen storage modules at the exchange station, users can be automatically notified to replenish their hydrogen storage modules in a timely manner. This achieves automatic monitoring of the number of empty hydrogen storage modules within the exchange station, improving management efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0037] This specification may use the phrases “in one embodiment,” “in another embodiment,” “in yet another embodiment,” or “in other embodiments,” all of which may refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to this application.

[0038] An embodiment of this application discloses a management method for exchangeable hydrogen storage modules. When the number of empty hydrogen storage modules in a hydrogen storage module exchange station exceeds a threshold, a first prompt message is sent to a first target user terminal. This method can automatically notify users when there are a large number of empty hydrogen storage modules in the exchange station, prompting them to replenish the exchange station with hydrogen storage modules in a timely manner. This achieves automatic monitoring of the number of empty hydrogen storage modules in the exchange station, thereby improving management efficiency.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0040] Step S101: In response to obtaining the number of empty hydrogen storage modules in the hydrogen storage module exchange station, determine whether the number of empty hydrogen storage modules is greater than the threshold number of empty hydrogen storage modules.

[0041] In this embodiment, hydrogen is supplied to the on-board fuel cell system or power system via a hydrogen storage module. The hydrogen storage module includes one or more hydrogen storage tanks. When the available hydrogen in the storage module is insufficient, hydrogen is replenished at a hydrogen storage module exchange station by replacing the existing module. Specifically, a hydrogen storage module already filled with hydrogen is used to replace the hydrogen storage module awaiting replenishment on the vehicle. A single hydrogen storage module can be installed on the vehicle, and this module is replaced during replacement. Alternatively, multiple hydrogen storage modules can be installed, and one or more modules can be replaced during replacement.

[0042] The number of empty hydrogen storage modules can be counted after each replacement, or periodically (e.g., every 30 minutes). To determine the number of empty modules, a QR code or NFC (Near Field Communication) tag can be attached to the module, and the number can be determined by scanning the QR code or NFC tag. Alternatively, empty modules can be placed in a designated area, and the number of empty modules can be determined by acquiring an image of that area and using an image recognition algorithm to identify the image.

[0043] The threshold for the number of empty hydrogen storage modules can be determined based on the maximum number of hydrogen storage modules that the hydrogen storage module exchange station can store. Specifically, the threshold for the number of empty hydrogen storage modules can be determined by multiplying the maximum number of hydrogen storage modules by a preset ratio (such as 80%). Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the corresponding threshold for the number of empty hydrogen storage modules according to different maximum numbers of hydrogen storage modules. For example, if the maximum number of hydrogen storage modules is large, a larger threshold for the number of empty hydrogen storage modules can be used; if the maximum number of hydrogen storage modules is small, a smaller threshold for the number of empty hydrogen storage modules can be used.

[0044] Alternatively, the threshold for the number of empty hydrogen storage modules can be determined based on the transportation efficiency of fully loaded hydrogen storage modules. For example, when the transportation efficiency is high (e.g., the number of vehicles transporting fully loaded hydrogen storage modules exceeds a first threshold or the number of fully loaded hydrogen storage modules a single vehicle can carry reaches the target number), a larger threshold for the number of empty hydrogen storage modules can be used; conversely, when the transportation efficiency is low (e.g., the number of vehicles transporting fully loaded hydrogen storage modules is less than a second threshold or the number of fully loaded hydrogen storage modules a single vehicle can carry does not reach the target number), a smaller threshold for the number of empty hydrogen storage modules can be used. Alternatively, the threshold for the number of empty hydrogen storage modules can also be determined based on the maximum number of hydrogen storage modules and the transportation efficiency of fully loaded hydrogen storage modules.

[0045] After obtaining the number of empty hydrogen storage modules in the hydrogen storage module exchange station, it is compared with the threshold number of empty hydrogen storage modules to determine whether the number of empty hydrogen storage modules is greater than the threshold number.

[0046] Step S102: If the number of empty hydrogen storage modules is greater than the threshold number of empty hydrogen storage modules, send a first prompt message to the first target user terminal.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first target user terminal can be a user's terminal. This user can be a driver responsible for transporting full hydrogen storage modules, or a manager responsible for transporting full hydrogen storage modules. There can be one or more first target user terminals. The total number of hydrogen storage modules that can be stored in the hydrogen storage module exchange station is generally fixed. If the number of empty hydrogen storage modules is greater than a first threshold, it indicates that there are more empty hydrogen storage modules and fewer full hydrogen storage modules in the exchange station, and it is necessary to replenish the full hydrogen storage modules in a timely manner. A first prompt message is sent to the first target user terminal, so that the corresponding user can transport full hydrogen storage modules to the hydrogen storage module exchange station in a timely manner.

[0048] It is understood that the hydrogen storage module exchange station in this embodiment includes empty hydrogen storage modules and full hydrogen storage modules. Empty hydrogen storage modules are those removed from vehicles with insufficient usable hydrogen, while full hydrogen storage modules are those that have been filled with hydrogen. By removing the empty hydrogen storage module from the vehicle and installing a full hydrogen storage module, the vehicle's refueling is completed. By filling the empty hydrogen storage module with hydrogen at the hydrogen storage module filling station, the empty hydrogen storage module can be made into a full hydrogen storage module.

[0049] Optionally, the first prompt message may take the form of one or more of the following: voice, text, image, video, etc., and may include the number of fully charged hydrogen storage modules that need to be transported.

[0050] Furthermore, the executing entity in this application embodiment can be a control center that has a communication connection with the hydrogen storage module exchange station. For example, a wired or wireless communication connection is pre-established between the hydrogen storage module exchange station and the control center. One control center can correspond to one hydrogen storage module exchange station, or one control center can correspond to multiple hydrogen storage module exchange stations. Figure 2 As shown, in response to obtaining the number of empty hydrogen storage modules at the hydrogen storage module exchange station, the control center determines whether the number of empty hydrogen storage modules is greater than the threshold for the number of empty hydrogen storage modules; if the number of empty hydrogen storage modules is greater than the threshold for the number of empty hydrogen storage modules, the control center sends a first prompt message to the first target user terminal.

[0051] Alternatively, the implementing entity can also be a hydrogen storage module exchange station, specifically, such as... Figure 3 As shown, in response to obtaining the number of empty hydrogen storage modules at the hydrogen storage module exchange station, the hydrogen storage module exchange station determines whether the number of empty hydrogen storage modules is greater than the threshold for the number of empty hydrogen storage modules; if the number of empty hydrogen storage modules is greater than the threshold for the number of empty hydrogen storage modules, the hydrogen storage module exchange station sends a first prompt message to the first target user terminal.

[0052] The management method for exchangeable hydrogen storage modules in this application embodiment, in response to obtaining the number of empty hydrogen storage modules in a hydrogen storage module exchange station, determines whether the number of empty hydrogen storage modules exceeds a threshold. If the number of empty hydrogen storage modules exceeds the threshold, a first notification message is sent to a first target user terminal. This automatically notifies users when there are many empty hydrogen storage modules in the exchange station, prompting them to replenish the exchange station with hydrogen storage modules in a timely manner. This achieves automatic monitoring of the number of empty hydrogen storage modules in the exchange station, improving management efficiency.

[0053] In some embodiments of this application, before sending the first prompt information to the first target user terminal, such as Figure 4 As shown, it also includes the following steps:

[0054] Step S103: Search for the first hydrogen storage module transport vehicle located within the specified range of the hydrogen storage module exchange station.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first hydrogen storage module transport vehicle is a vehicle capable of transporting fully loaded hydrogen storage modules to the hydrogen storage module exchange station. To ensure the efficiency of transporting fully loaded hydrogen storage modules, the first hydrogen storage module transport vehicles located within a specified range of the hydrogen storage module exchange station are searched, and then a first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle for transporting fully loaded hydrogen storage modules is selected from among the first hydrogen storage module transport vehicles.

[0056] Step S104: The user terminal corresponding to the first target hydrogen storage module delivery vehicle determined according to the first selected strategy is determined as the first target user terminal.

[0057] According to the first selected strategy, a first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle is determined from among the first hydrogen storage module transport vehicles, and the user terminal corresponding to the first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle is determined as the first target user terminal. The user terminal can be a user's mobile phone, tablet, wearable device or other type of electronic device, or it can be a terminal installed in the first hydrogen storage module transport vehicle.

[0058] Since the first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle is determined from a designated range within the hydrogen storage module exchange station based on the first selected strategy, the user of the first target user terminal can quickly transport the loaded full hydrogen storage module to the hydrogen storage module exchange station, thereby achieving more efficient replenishment of the hydrogen storage module exchange station to full hydrogen storage modules.

[0059] In some embodiments of this application, the first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle is also used to transfer the empty hydrogen storage modules from the hydrogen storage module exchange station to the hydrogen storage module filling station after transporting the loaded full hydrogen storage modules to the hydrogen storage module exchange station, thereby ensuring that the transport capacity of the first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle is fully utilized while filling the empty hydrogen storage modules in a timely manner.

[0060] In some embodiments of this application, the first selected strategy includes at least one of the following:

[0061] Determine the distances between each of the first hydrogen storage module transport vehicles and the hydrogen storage module exchange station, and determine the first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle based on the first hydrogen storage module transport vehicle corresponding to the minimum distance.

[0062] Determine the distances between each of the first hydrogen storage module transport vehicles and the hydrogen storage module exchange station. Based on the number of empty hydrogen storage modules, determine multiple first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicles in ascending order of distance. The sum of the number of hydrogen storage modules loaded in each first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle is not less than the number of empty hydrogen storage modules.

[0063] Each driving route between the first hydrogen storage module transport vehicle and the hydrogen storage module exchange station is determined. The optimal driving route is determined based on the current road conditions and length of each driving route. The first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle is determined based on the first hydrogen storage module transport vehicle corresponding to the optimal driving route.

[0064] In this embodiment, the first hydrogen storage module transport vehicle may be equipped with a positioning device. As a method of determination, the distances between the first hydrogen storage module transport vehicle and the hydrogen storage module exchange station can be determined first using the positioning device. The first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle is then determined based on the first hydrogen storage module transport vehicle corresponding to the minimum distance. If there is only one first hydrogen storage module transport vehicle corresponding to the minimum distance, that vehicle is designated as the first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle. If there are multiple first hydrogen storage module transport vehicles corresponding to the minimum distance, all of them can be designated as the first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle, or one of them can be designated as the first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle. Because the first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle corresponds to the minimum distance, it more efficiently transports full hydrogen storage modules to the hydrogen storage module exchange station.

[0065] As another method, after determining the distances between the first hydrogen storage module transport vehicle and the hydrogen storage module exchange station, multiple first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicles are selected based on the number of empty hydrogen storage modules, arranged from smallest to largest distance. The sum of the number of hydrogen storage modules carried by each first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle is not less than the number of empty hydrogen storage modules, thus enabling rapid replenishment of full hydrogen storage modules in the hydrogen storage module exchange station. For example, if there are 40 empty hydrogen storage modules and each first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle carries 10 full hydrogen storage modules, then four first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicles are selected from smallest to largest distance, allowing 40 full hydrogen storage modules to be transported to the hydrogen storage module exchange station via the selected first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicles.

[0066] As another method, the routes between each hydrogen storage module transport vehicle and the hydrogen storage module exchange station are first determined. Then, the optimal route is determined based on the current road conditions (such as congestion, road surface conditions, and weather conditions) and length. For example, the current road condition score can be determined, and the score and length can be weighted and summed to determine the route score. The route with the highest score is determined as the optimal route. Then, the first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle is determined based on the first hydrogen storage module transport vehicle corresponding to the optimal route, thus ensuring that the first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle arrives at the hydrogen storage module exchange station quickly.

[0067] In some embodiments of this application, after sending the first prompt information to the first target user terminal, such as Figure 5 As shown, it also includes the following steps:

[0068] Step S105: If no confirmation message is received from the first target user terminal within the specified time period, a new first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle is determined from other first hydrogen storage module transport vehicles besides the first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle, according to the first selected strategy.

[0069] In this embodiment, if no confirmation message is received from the first target user terminal within the specified time period, it indicates that the user corresponding to the first target user terminal may not have seen the first prompt message, or the vehicle corresponding to the first target user terminal is malfunctioning or performing other tasks, and the corresponding user cannot perform the delivery task. At this time, the control center determines a new first target hydrogen storage module delivery vehicle from other first hydrogen storage module delivery vehicles besides the first target hydrogen storage module delivery vehicle according to the first selected strategy.

[0070] Step S106: Send the first prompt information to the user terminal corresponding to the vehicle transporting the new first target hydrogen storage module.

[0071] A first notification message is sent to the user terminal corresponding to the vehicle transporting the new first target hydrogen storage module, thereby ensuring reliable delivery of the full hydrogen storage module to the hydrogen storage module exchange station.

[0072] In some embodiments of this application, after sending the first prompt message to the user terminal corresponding to the new first target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle, a task cancellation prompt message is sent to the first target user terminal to remind the user corresponding to the first target user terminal that the full hydrogen storage module will no longer be transported to the hydrogen storage module exchange station.

[0073] This application also proposes a management method for exchangeable hydrogen storage modules. When the number of empty hydrogen storage modules at the hydrogen storage module exchange station exceeds a threshold, a request for full hydrogen storage modules is sent to the hydrogen storage module filling station. Conversely, when the number of full hydrogen storage modules at the filling station exceeds a threshold, a second notification message is sent to a second target user terminal. This automatically notifies users when there are a large number of empty hydrogen storage modules at the exchange station and sufficient full hydrogen storage modules at the filling station, prompting users to promptly transport full hydrogen storage modules from the filling station to the exchange station. This achieves automatic monitoring of the number of empty hydrogen storage modules at the exchange station and ensures sufficient replenishment of full hydrogen storage modules, thus improving management efficiency.

[0074] like Figure 6 As shown, the management method of this exchangeable hydrogen storage module includes the following steps:

[0075] Step S201: In response to obtaining the number of empty hydrogen storage modules in the hydrogen storage module exchange station, determine whether the number of empty hydrogen storage modules is greater than the threshold number of empty hydrogen storage modules.

[0076] In this embodiment, the number of empty hydrogen storage modules can be counted after each replacement, or the number can be obtained periodically (e.g., every 30 minutes). To determine the number of empty hydrogen storage modules, a QR code or NFC tag can be placed on the hydrogen storage module, and the number can be determined by scanning the QR code or NFC tag. Alternatively, the empty hydrogen storage modules can be placed in a designated area, and the number of empty hydrogen storage modules can be determined by acquiring an image of that area and recognizing the image using an image recognition algorithm.

[0077] After obtaining the number of empty hydrogen storage modules in the hydrogen storage module exchange station, it is compared with the threshold number of empty hydrogen storage modules to determine whether the number of empty hydrogen storage modules is greater than the threshold number.

[0078] Step S202: If the number of empty hydrogen storage modules is greater than the threshold number of empty hydrogen storage modules, a request for full hydrogen storage modules is sent to the hydrogen storage module filling station.

[0079] In this embodiment, empty hydrogen storage modules can be filled with hydrogen at the hydrogen storage module filling station, turning them into full hydrogen storage modules. The total number of hydrogen storage modules that can be stored in a hydrogen storage module exchange station is generally fixed. If the number of empty hydrogen storage modules exceeds a threshold, it indicates that there are too many empty modules and too few full hydrogen storage modules in the exchange station, requiring timely replenishment. A full hydrogen storage module request is sent to the hydrogen storage module filling station, which then returns the number of full hydrogen storage modules it possesses.

[0080] Step S203: In response to obtaining the number of full hydrogen storage modules in the hydrogen storage module filling station, determine whether the number of full hydrogen storage modules is greater than the threshold number of full hydrogen storage modules.

[0081] In this embodiment, the threshold for the number of full hydrogen storage modules can be determined based on the maximum number of hydrogen storage modules that the hydrogen storage module filling station can store. Specifically, the threshold for the number of full hydrogen storage modules can be determined by multiplying the maximum number of hydrogen storage modules by a preset ratio (such as 50%). Those skilled in the art can flexibly set the corresponding threshold for the number of full hydrogen storage modules based on different maximum numbers of hydrogen storage modules. For example, if the maximum number of hydrogen storage modules is large, a larger threshold for the number of full hydrogen storage modules can be used; if the maximum number of hydrogen storage modules is small, a smaller threshold for the number of full hydrogen storage modules can be used.

[0082] In addition, the threshold for the number of full hydrogen storage modules can be determined based on the filling efficiency of the hydrogen storage modules. For example, a smaller threshold can be used when the filling efficiency is high, and a larger threshold can be used when the filling efficiency is low. Alternatively, the threshold can be determined based on the maximum number of hydrogen storage modules and the filling efficiency of the full hydrogen storage modules.

[0083] Determine whether the number of fully loaded hydrogen storage modules in the hydrogen storage module filling station is greater than the threshold for the number of fully loaded hydrogen storage modules. If it is greater than the threshold, it means that the hydrogen storage module filling station has enough fully loaded hydrogen storage modules.

[0084] Step S204: If the number of full hydrogen storage modules is greater than the threshold number of full hydrogen storage modules, send a second prompt message to the second target user terminal.

[0085] The second target user terminal can be a user's terminal. This user can be a driver or a manager responsible for transporting the full hydrogen storage modules. There can be one or more second target user terminals. After receiving this second notification, the user can promptly transport the full hydrogen storage modules from the hydrogen storage module filling station to the hydrogen storage module exchange station.

[0086] Optionally, the second prompt information may take the form of one or more of the following: voice, text, image, video, etc., and the second prompt information may include the number of fully charged hydrogen storage modules that need to be transported.

[0087] Furthermore, the implementing entity in this application embodiment can be a control center that has communication connections with the hydrogen storage module exchange station and the hydrogen storage module filling station. For example, wired or wireless communication connections are pre-established between the hydrogen storage module exchange station and the control center, and between the hydrogen storage module filling station and the control center. One control center can correspond to one hydrogen storage module exchange station and one hydrogen storage module filling station, and one control center can also correspond to multiple hydrogen storage module exchange stations and multiple hydrogen storage module filling stations. Figure 7 As shown, in response to obtaining the number of empty hydrogen storage modules at the hydrogen storage module exchange station, the control center determines whether the number of empty hydrogen storage modules is greater than the threshold for the number of empty hydrogen storage modules; if the number of empty hydrogen storage modules is greater than the threshold for the number of empty hydrogen storage modules, the control center sends a request for full hydrogen storage modules to the hydrogen storage module filling station; in response to obtaining the number of full hydrogen storage modules returned by the hydrogen storage module filling station, the control center determines whether the number of full hydrogen storage modules is greater than the threshold for the number of full hydrogen storage modules; if the number of full hydrogen storage modules is greater than the threshold for the number of full hydrogen storage modules, the control center sends a second prompt message to the second target user terminal.

[0088] Alternatively, the implementing entities can also be a control center and a hydrogen storage module filling station, with the control center and the hydrogen storage module filling station working together to manage the exchangeable hydrogen storage modules. Specifically, for example... Figure 8As shown, in response to obtaining the number of empty hydrogen storage modules at the hydrogen storage module exchange station, the control center determines whether the number of empty hydrogen storage modules is greater than the threshold for the number of empty hydrogen storage modules; if the number of empty hydrogen storage modules is greater than the threshold for the number of empty hydrogen storage modules, the control center sends a request for full hydrogen storage modules to the hydrogen storage module filling station; in response to obtaining the number of full hydrogen storage modules at the hydrogen storage module filling station, the hydrogen storage module filling station determines whether the number of full hydrogen storage modules is greater than the threshold for the number of full hydrogen storage modules; if the number of full hydrogen storage modules is greater than the threshold for the number of full hydrogen storage modules, the hydrogen storage module filling station sends a second prompt message to the second target user terminal.

[0089] The management method for exchangeable hydrogen storage modules in this application embodiment, in response to obtaining the number of empty hydrogen storage modules at the hydrogen storage module exchange station, determines whether the number of empty hydrogen storage modules is greater than a threshold value. If the number of empty hydrogen storage modules is greater than the threshold value, a request for full hydrogen storage modules is sent to the hydrogen storage module filling station. In response to obtaining the number of full hydrogen storage modules at the hydrogen storage module filling station, it determines whether the number of full hydrogen storage modules is greater than a threshold value. If the number of full hydrogen storage modules is greater than the threshold value, a second prompt message is sent to a second target user terminal. Thus, when there are many empty hydrogen storage modules at the hydrogen storage module exchange station and the hydrogen storage module filling station has enough full hydrogen storage modules, the user can be automatically notified, enabling the user to promptly transport full hydrogen storage modules from the filling station to the exchange station. This achieves automatic monitoring of the number of empty hydrogen storage modules within the exchange station and ensures that sufficient full hydrogen storage modules are replenished to the exchange station, improving management efficiency.

[0090] In some embodiments of this application, before sending the second prompt information to the second target user terminal, such as Figure 9 As shown, it also includes the following steps:

[0091] Step S205: Search for a second hydrogen storage module delivery vehicle located within a specified range of the hydrogen storage module filling station.

[0092] In this embodiment, the second hydrogen storage module transport vehicle is a vehicle capable of transporting full hydrogen storage modules from the hydrogen storage module filling station to the hydrogen storage module exchange station. To ensure the efficiency of transporting full hydrogen storage modules, a search is conducted for second hydrogen storage module transport vehicles located within a specified range of the hydrogen storage module filling station. Subsequently, a second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle for transporting full hydrogen storage modules is selected from among these second hydrogen storage module transport vehicles.

[0093] Step S206: The user terminal corresponding to the second target hydrogen storage module delivery vehicle determined according to the second selected strategy is identified as the second target user terminal.

[0094] According to the second selected strategy, a second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle is determined from among the various second hydrogen storage module transport vehicles, and the user terminal corresponding to the second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle is determined as the second target user terminal. The user terminal can be a user's mobile phone, tablet, wearable device, or other type of electronic device, or it can be a terminal installed in the second hydrogen storage module transport vehicle.

[0095] Since the second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle is determined from a designated range within the hydrogen storage module exchange station based on the second selected strategy, users of the second target user terminal can quickly load hydrogen storage modules from the hydrogen storage module filling station and transport the full hydrogen storage modules to the hydrogen storage module exchange station, thereby achieving more efficient replenishment of hydrogen storage modules at the hydrogen storage module exchange station.

[0096] In some embodiments of this application, the second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle is also used to transfer empty hydrogen storage modules from the hydrogen storage module exchange station to the hydrogen storage module filling station after transporting the loaded full hydrogen storage modules to the hydrogen storage module exchange station, thereby ensuring that the transport capacity of the second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle is fully utilized while filling the empty hydrogen storage modules in a timely manner.

[0097] In some embodiments of this application, the second selected strategy includes at least one of the following:

[0098] Determine the distances between each second hydrogen storage module transport vehicle and the hydrogen storage module filling station, and determine the second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle based on the second hydrogen storage module transport vehicle corresponding to the minimum distance;

[0099] Determine the distances between each of the second hydrogen storage module transport vehicles and the hydrogen storage module filling station. Based on the number of empty hydrogen storage modules, determine multiple second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicles in ascending order of distance. The sum of the number of hydrogen storage modules that each second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle can carry is not less than the number of empty hydrogen storage modules.

[0100] Each driving route between the second hydrogen storage module transport vehicle and the hydrogen storage module filling station is determined. The optimal driving route is determined based on the current road conditions and length of each driving route. The second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle is determined based on the second hydrogen storage module transport vehicle corresponding to the optimal driving route.

[0101] In this embodiment, the second hydrogen storage module transport vehicle may be equipped with a positioning device. As a method of determination, the distances between the second hydrogen storage module transport vehicle and the hydrogen storage module filling station can be determined first using the positioning device. The second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle is then determined based on the second hydrogen storage module transport vehicle corresponding to the minimum distance. If there is only one second hydrogen storage module transport vehicle corresponding to the minimum distance, that vehicle is designated as the second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle. If there are multiple second hydrogen storage module transport vehicles corresponding to the minimum distance, all of them can be designated as the second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle, or one of them can be designated as the second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle. Because the second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle corresponds to the minimum distance, it can more efficiently travel to the hydrogen storage module filling station.

[0102] As another method, after determining the distances between the second hydrogen storage module transport vehicle and the hydrogen storage module filling station, multiple second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicles are selected based on the number of empty hydrogen storage modules, arranged from smallest to largest distance. The sum of the number of hydrogen storage modules that each second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle can carry is not less than the number of empty hydrogen storage modules, thus enabling rapid arrival at the hydrogen storage module filling station and full loading of hydrogen storage modules. For example, if there are 40 empty hydrogen storage modules and each second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle can carry 10 full hydrogen storage modules, then four second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicles are selected from smallest to largest distance. This allows the selected second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicles to load 40 full hydrogen storage modules from the hydrogen storage module filling station and transport them to the hydrogen storage station.

[0103] As another method, the routes between each second hydrogen storage module transport vehicle and the hydrogen storage module exchange station are first determined. Then, the optimal route is determined based on the current road conditions and length of the route. For example, the current road condition score can be determined, and the score and length can be weighted and summed to determine the route score. The route with the highest score is determined as the optimal route. Then, the second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle is determined based on the second hydrogen storage module transport vehicle corresponding to the optimal route, thus ensuring that the second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle quickly reaches the hydrogen storage module filling station.

[0104] In some embodiments of this application, after sending the second prompt message to the second target user terminal, such as Figure 10 As shown, it also includes the following steps:

[0105] Step S207: If no confirmation message is received from the second target terminal within the specified time period, a new second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle is determined from other second hydrogen storage module transport vehicles besides the second target hydrogen storage module transport vehicle, according to the second selected strategy.

[0106] In this embodiment, if no confirmation message is received from the second target terminal within the specified time period, it indicates that the user corresponding to the second target terminal may not have seen the second prompt message, or that the vehicle corresponding to the second target terminal is malfunctioning or performing other tasks, and the corresponding user cannot perform the delivery task. In this case, a new second target hydrogen storage module delivery vehicle is determined from other second hydrogen storage module delivery vehicles besides the second target hydrogen storage module delivery vehicle according to the second selected strategy.

[0107] Step S208: Send the second prompt information to the user terminal corresponding to the vehicle transporting the new second target hydrogen storage module.

[0108] A second notification message is sent to the user terminal corresponding to the new second target hydrogen storage module delivery vehicle, thereby ensuring reliable delivery of full hydrogen storage modules from the hydrogen storage module filling station to the hydrogen storage module exchange station.

[0109] In some embodiments of this application, after sending a second prompt message to the user terminal corresponding to the new second target hydrogen storage module delivery vehicle, a task cancellation prompt message is sent to the second target user terminal to remind the user corresponding to the second target user terminal not to go to the hydrogen storage module filling station for full hydrogen storage module delivery.

[0110] In some embodiments of this application, it also includes:

[0111] If the number of full hydrogen storage modules is not greater than the threshold number of full hydrogen storage modules, a hydrogen charging operation is performed to increase the number of full hydrogen storage modules.

[0112] In this embodiment, if the number of full hydrogen storage modules in the hydrogen storage module filling station is not greater than the threshold number of full hydrogen storage modules, it indicates that the hydrogen storage module filling station has insufficient full hydrogen storage modules. A hydrogen filling operation is then performed to increase the number of full hydrogen storage modules in the hydrogen storage module filling station, thereby ensuring that the hydrogen storage module filling station has a sufficient number of full hydrogen storage modules, and thus ensuring the reliable delivery of full hydrogen storage modules to the hydrogen storage module exchange station.
