Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of two-wheeled vehicle battery charging systems, and more particularly to a charging system for two-wheeled vehicle batteries based on a 4G module. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of electric two-wheelers, centralized charging facilities are gradually being deployed in communities, commercial districts, office buildings, and public parking areas. However, these centralized charging facilities, such as those in communities, commercial districts, office buildings, and public parking areas, suffer from relatively inefficient resource management, leading to a shortage of charging spaces and conflicts over available locations. A large number of charging spaces are occupied by ordinary two-wheelers that don't need charging, and even non-target vehicles such as gasoline-powered motorcycles and bicycles. Meanwhile, some users who have finished charging fail to leave promptly, further exacerbating the low utilization rate of charging outlets and making the already scarce charging spaces even more scarce. Currently, most cities address this by having personnel patrol and manage the area through community regulations, prohibiting vehicles from outside the community from charging. However, these methods not only increase personnel costs but are also cumbersome and difficult to manage.

[0003] In addition, the information exchange between users and two-wheeled vehicle charging stations is severely lagging, and users are unable to obtain information such as the number of available charging locations and their specific locations at the destination charging station remotely, in real time, and accurately before departure or during the trip.

[0004] Therefore, a two-wheeled vehicle charging station solution is needed that can solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a charging system for two-wheeled vehicle batteries based on a 4G module, to solve the problems of existing technologies, such as the lack of effective real-time monitoring of parking space status and inefficient vehicle occupancy management. The technical solution of this application is as follows:

[0006] A charging system for a two-wheeled vehicle battery based on a 4G module includes a two-wheeled vehicle charging station, a cloud server, a management terminal, and a user terminal; the two-wheeled vehicle charging station includes at least one main control device, which communicates with the cloud server through its internal 4G module; the cloud server communicates with the management terminal and the user terminal;

[0007] The two-wheeled vehicle charging station includes multiple charging positions, with at least one backup charging position between adjacent charging positions; each charging position is equipped with a socket, and the main control device can control the power-on and power-off status of the socket; gravity sensors are installed on the ground of both the charging positions and the backup charging positions.

[0008] The main control device can detect and determine whether there is an available free socket based on the state of the gravity sensor and the socket, and further distinguish them into a first type of available free socket and a second type of available free socket; wherein, the first type of available free socket refers to the socket being in an idle state and its corresponding charging position being unoccupied, and the second type of available free socket refers to the socket being in an idle state and its corresponding charging position being occupied, while its adjacent spare charging position is unoccupied.

[0009] When a user queries the usage status of the two-wheeled vehicle charging station, the user terminal will prioritize displaying the first type of available free sockets for the user to select.

[0010] Furthermore, when the main control device detects the existence of at least one available free socket of the first type, the main control device will further confirm that the user has parked the two-wheeled vehicle at the charging location corresponding to the available free socket of the first type before allowing charging to begin; when the main control device detects that there is no available free socket of the first type, but there is at least one available free socket of the second type, the main control device will further confirm that the user has parked the two-wheeled vehicle at an alternative charging location adjacent to the available free socket of the second type before allowing charging to begin.

[0011] Furthermore, when the main control device detects that there is no available free socket, it feeds this information back to the user terminal, and the user terminal displays the scheduled charging mode for the user to select.

[0012] The scheduled charging mode includes a managed scheduled charging mode, in which the main control device, upon detecting an available free socket, notifies the manager to charge the user's two-wheeled vehicle via the manager terminal; when the main control device detects a charging request initiated by the manager terminal, it directly powers on the socket selected by the manager terminal without needing to check the status of the two-wheeled vehicle's parking location.

[0013] Furthermore, when a user selects the managed scheduled charging mode, the main control device will filter out the sockets with the shortest remaining charging time from those currently charging, and further feed back to the user terminal those that meet the condition of the corresponding charging position or the nearby backup charging position not being occupied, so that the user can select the parking position of their two-wheeled vehicle.

[0014] Furthermore, the scheduled charging mode also includes a reminder-based scheduled charging mode, in which the main control device reminds the user to charge their two-wheeled vehicle via the user terminal when it detects the existence of an available free socket.

[0015] Furthermore, the management terminal can detect abnormal occupancy states based on the gravity sensor and the status of the socket. These abnormal occupancy states include primary and secondary abnormal occupancy. The detection results are simultaneously sent to the management terminal, which will prioritize notifying the administrator to manage and handle the secondary abnormal occupancy situation. Primary abnormal occupancy refers to a charging position corresponding to an empty socket being occupied by a two-wheeled vehicle that does not require charging, but at least one of the adjacent backup charging positions is vacant. Secondary abnormal occupancy refers to a charging position corresponding to an empty socket and an adjacent backup charging position being occupied by a two-wheeled vehicle that does not require charging. The two-wheeled vehicles that do not require charging include those not currently charging and those that have not selected the scheduled charging mode.

[0016] Furthermore, the cloud server will periodically calculate peak usage periods based on the daily usage rate of the two-wheeled vehicle charging station and send the data to the management terminal. The management terminal will notify the manager at least before the peak period each day to manage and handle the abnormal occupancy status within the two-wheeled vehicle charging station. During this period, the manager will perform management and handling once for both the first-level and second-level abnormal occupancy.

[0017] Furthermore, when the main control device detects the existence of an available free socket, it will further detect whether a charging cable is connected to the available free socket, and will prioritize showing the user the available free sockets without a charging cable connected; when the main control device detects that all available free sockets are connected to a charging cable, the main control device will further filter out the available free sockets with disconnect permission information and send them to the user terminal; wherein, the disconnect permission information is information that the user agrees to unplug the charging cable after the two-wheeled vehicle has finished charging.

[0018] Furthermore, both the charging location and the backup charging location are equipped with indicators, allowing both the user and the administrator to find the desired location.

[0019] Furthermore, the cloud server will also count the daily usage rate of all sockets in the two-wheeled vehicle charging station. When the usage rate of the charging station exceeds a set value within a set period, the high-frequency usage time will be counted, and the proportion of the high-frequency usage time in the set period will be calculated. When the proportion of the time exceeds a set threshold, the cloud server will remind the user to add sockets to the two-wheeled vehicle charging station.

[0020] This application has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] This application improves the utilization rate of charging sockets by designing a more rational location for two-wheeled vehicle charging stations and coordinating with system management. Simultaneously, through 4G modules and cloud servers, the usage status of charging sockets at the two-wheeled vehicle charging stations is promptly fed back to the management terminal and user terminal, enabling both managers and users to access relevant information in a timely manner. This allows for more efficient management by managers and provides users with more charging mode options. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of this application are shown in the drawings. However, this application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this application.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-3 This application provides a charging system for a two-wheeled vehicle battery based on a 4G module. The system includes a two-wheeled vehicle charging station 1, a cloud server 2, a manager terminal 3, and a user terminal 4.

[0029] Among them, such as Figure 2As shown, the two-wheeled vehicle charging station 1 includes multiple charging positions 101. Each charging position 101 is equipped with a socket 103. Each socket 103 is connected to a corresponding socket switch, which can control the socket 103 to be powered on and off.

[0030] This application takes into account the situation where charging location 101 is occupied, but the corresponding socket 103 is vacant, and further provides at least one spare charging location 102 between at least some of the adjacent charging locations 101. Considering the initial construction cost of the two-wheeled vehicle charging station and the utilization rate of socket 103, socket 103 will not be installed on the spare charging location 102, but users can park their two-wheeled vehicles on the spare charging location 102 and then charge their two-wheeled vehicles by connecting to the vacant socket 103 on the adjacent charging location 101 via a charging cable.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, in order to make efficient use of the socket 103, this application can set up multiple backup charging positions 102 between adjacent charging positions 101, usually two to three. This is determined based on the length range of most charging cables on the market, to ensure that even if the two-wheeled vehicle is parked at the farthest backup charging position 102, it can still be connected to the socket 103 corresponding to any charging position 101 on both sides via a cable.

[0032] Furthermore, each charging position 101 and backup charging position 102 is equipped with a sensor for detecting whether a two-wheeled vehicle is parked at the current position. In a specific example, the sensor is preferably a gravity sensor, which is set on the ground at the charging position 101. For example, a YZC-320 gravity sensor can be used, with a range covering 50Kg-10T, to meet the requirements for weight detection of electric two-wheeled vehicles.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, each charging location 101 and backup charging location 102 is further equipped with an indicator 105. This indicator 105 can be a visual indicator, such as an indicator light, or a voice indicator, such as a voice player. Through the guidance of the indicator 105, both users and managers can more quickly locate the designated location. Specifically, for managers, when searching for two-wheeled vehicles with abnormally occupied spaces or for vehicles scheduled for pre-booked charging at the charging station, they can select the corresponding virtual location through the interactive interface of the manager terminal 3, thereby controlling the indicator 105 to guide them to the location more quickly, for example, through flashing indicator lights or voice prompts. For users, when using the socket 103, the indicator 105 corresponding to the charging location 101 can provide guidance, and can also indicate the charging status after normal charging, and can also indicate the completion of charging through the indicator 105. For example, in an idle state, the indicator light can be green; when the user selects the charging location 101, the corresponding indicator light can guide the user by flashing; when charging begins, the indicator light switches to red. Of course, the indicator 105 may also include a voice player to play a voice message about the current charging position 101.

[0034] In addition, the charging station is equipped with at least one main control device 104, which includes a control module, a storage module, and a 4G module. The control module is connected to the storage module, the 4G module, the gravity sensor, the indicator 105, and the socket switch. Thus, the control module can collect and store signals, as well as control the power supply to and from the socket 103.

[0035] Specifically, the control module can use a microcontroller (MCU) combined with peripheral devices. The control module can save information such as the charging status of the two-wheeled vehicles in the charging station and the occupancy status of charging position 101 and standby charging position 102 to the storage module.

[0036] Meanwhile, the control module communicates with the cloud server 2 via the 4G module, and the cloud server 2 can further communicate with the administrator terminal 3 and the user terminal 4.

[0037] Specifically, this application uses the Xinyi 4G LTE Cat.1 XY4100 to complete the wireless communication. It adopts a RISC-V processor with a built-in 16KB instruction cache. The control module MCU communicates with the 4G module by sending instructions through the UART serial port to complete the wireless data transmission. Using this 4G module for communication reduces the burden on the control module. At the same time, the 4G module achieves wireless communication through the SIM network card, no longer relying on interaction with the router, which also reduces interference from external networks and the cumbersome network configuration.

[0038] In the operation of the two-wheeled vehicle charging system proposed in this application, the main control device 104 will provide the user with the following three different priority charging schemes based on the detection signals of each gravity sensor and the usage status of each socket 103, specifically including:

[0039] In the first priority charging mode, the two-wheeled vehicle is parked at charging position 101 for charging.

[0040] When the main control device 104 detects that there is an empty socket 103 and the corresponding charging position 101 is not occupied, it determines that the socket 103 is a first-class available empty socket 103. The main control device 104 will prioritize requiring the user to park the two-wheeled vehicle at the charging position 101 before the user can use the corresponding socket 103 for charging. This is the normal operating state of the charging station most of the time.

[0041] Specifically, in this mode, the main control device 104 detects that the user has parked the two-wheeled vehicle in the charging position 101 via a gravity sensor and receives a notification that the user has activated the corresponding socket 103 before sending a command to control the socket switch to activate the socket 103. Billing begins after normal charging. In this mode, if the user does not park the two-wheeled vehicle correctly in the corresponding charging position 101, but instead parks it in the adjacent backup charging position 102, the user will not be able to activate the socket 103. During this process, the indicator 105 at the charging position 101 and the user terminal 4 can both provide prompts to the user, ensuring that the user parks the vehicle correctly and the socket 103 is powered on. This avoids users randomly parking vehicles for charging, preventing difficulties in managing the charging station, and also makes it easier for the subsequent management terminal 3 to identify abnormal parking situations where two-wheeled vehicles that do not need charging are parked in the charging position 101.

[0042] Meanwhile, when a user queries the usage status of a two-wheeled vehicle charging station, the user terminal 4 will prioritize displaying the first type of available idle socket 103 for the user to select, and will provide a prompt to correctly park the two-wheeled vehicle waiting to be charged.

[0043] In the second priority charging mode, the two-wheeled vehicle is parked at the nearby backup charging location 102 for charging.

[0044] When two-wheeled vehicles that do not need to be charged are illegally parked in charging position 101 at the charging station, or when some two-wheeled vehicles parked in charging position 101 have finished charging but have not left in time, there may be an empty socket 103.

[0045] Therefore, when the main control device 104 detects that all charging positions 101 are occupied, meaning there are no available first-type free sockets 103, but simultaneously the main control device 104 determines, based on the gravity sensor, that the adjacent backup charging position 102 is not occupied, it determines that the free socket 103 belongs to the second type of available free sockets 103. The main control device 104 then displays to the user terminal 4 a solution to charge the free socket 103 using the adjacent backup charging position 102. Furthermore, the main control device 104 guides the user to park the two-wheeled vehicle in the corresponding backup charging position 102 via the indicator 105 and the user terminal 4, and only after confirming via the gravity sensor that the user has parked the two-wheeled vehicle in the backup charging position 102 can the corresponding socket 103 be used for charging.

[0046] Third priority: scheduled charging.

[0047] When a user finds that there are no available sockets 103 at the current charging station through user terminal 4, user terminal 4 can display nearby charging stations with available spaces for the user to choose from. However, there is a certain distance between adjacent charging stations, which will increase travel time, especially inconvenient for commuting users. Therefore, this application also provides a scheduled charging mode.

[0048] Specifically, when the main control device 104 detects that there are no available empty sockets 103, that is, all sockets 103 are in the charging state, or although there are empty sockets 103, two-wheeled vehicles are parked at their corresponding charging positions 101 and the adjacent backup charging positions 102, the main control device 104 can recommend a scheduled charging plan to the user.

[0049] Furthermore, in the scheduled charging mode, users can choose between a reminder-based scheduled charging mode and a managed scheduled charging mode.

[0050] When a user selects the reminder-based scheduled charging mode, the main control device 104, upon detecting an available free socket 103, will lock that socket in software for a period of time to prevent other users from using it. Simultaneously, the main control device 104 will promptly relay this information to the corresponding user terminal 4 via the 4G communication module, reminding the user to go to the charging station to charge their two-wheeled vehicle within the locked time. For users who provided a phone number during the registration process on the user terminal 4, the main control device 104 will notify the administrator to remind the user to charge by phone.

[0051] When a user selects the managed scheduled charging mode, they can park their two-wheeled vehicle in an available backup charging location 102, and the administrator will charge it when a free socket 103 becomes available. Specifically, when a user selects the managed scheduled charging mode, the user needs to authorize the administrator to charge their two-wheeled vehicle through the administrator terminal 3. When charging begins, the main control device 104 will send feedback to the corresponding user terminal 4 via the 4G communication module.

[0052] Furthermore, to minimize the need for administrators to move vehicles to charge the two-wheeled bikes of users who have selected this mode, the main control device 104 will filter out the currently charging two-wheeled bikes with shorter remaining charging time and feed back the available backup charging location 102 near the socket 103 to the user terminal 4 for the user to choose from. The calculation of the remaining charging time can be achieved using information such as the already charged time, the current charging current, and the current battery level, which will not be elaborated here. This allows administrators to easily assist the user in charging their bikes when an available socket 103 becomes available near the selected backup charging location 102, without needing to move the bike further.

[0053] Meanwhile, when the main control device 104 detects a charging request initiated by the manager terminal 3, it will directly power on the socket 103 selected by the manager terminal 3 without needing to detect the status of the two-wheeled vehicle's parking position. In other words, regardless of whether it is a first-type or second-type available socket 103, as long as the main control device 104 detects a power-on request for the socket 103 from the manager terminal 3, it will directly power it on. This can minimize the need for the manager to move the user's vehicle to meet the power-on requirement of the socket 103.

[0054] Furthermore, since the two-wheeled vehicle charging station only provides socket 103, users need to charge their two-wheeled vehicles using their own charging cables. Therefore, it's possible that after a previous user finishes charging their vehicle, they may not immediately move it away, meaning the vehicle might remain parked at charging location 101 or the backup charging location 102. Subsequent users might need to unplug the previous user's charging cable to continue using the available socket 103. Based on this, in a further solution, to reduce the need to unplug the previous user's charging cable before charging, for all the aforementioned charging modes, the main control device 104 will further detect whether a charging cable is connected to the currently available socket 103, and will prioritize recommending available sockets 103 without connected charging cables. Only when all remaining available sockets 103 have charging cables plugged in by previous users will such sockets be recommended to subsequent users.

[0055] Furthermore, if it is necessary to disconnect the previous charging cable to complete subsequent charging, authorization from the corresponding two-wheeled vehicle user is required. Authorization methods include sending authorization information along with charging completion information to the user upon completion of charging, or requiring the user to confirm the authorization information on their user terminal 4 before each use of socket 103. In practical applications, to encourage users to use this authorization, users who grant this permission can be rewarded according to system settings, such as with discounts or priority access to scheduled charging options.

[0056] For user terminal 4, in the two-wheeled vehicle charging system provided in this application, its main functions include: querying the usage status of the socket 103 of the selected charging station, sending a command to start the socket 103, reminding the user of the usage status of the socket 103, and settling the payment.

[0057] When a user needs to charge their two-wheeled vehicle, they connect to the main control device 104 via the user terminal 4's program and send a charging request. The main control device 104 then controls the socket switch to activate the socket 103 and begins billing after normal charging has started. The charging scheme displayed on the user terminal 4 has the same priority as described above.

[0058] Under normal circumstances, when there is an available socket 103 and a corresponding charging position 101, the user terminal 4 will prioritize displaying the charging option at that charging position 101. The user can query the available charging positions 101 and their quantity through the user terminal 4 program.

[0059] When all charging positions 101 are occupied, the main control device 104 determines that a second-priority charging scheme can be used, which involves charging at the adjacent backup charging position 102. The main control device 104 will then send this information to the cloud via the 4G communication module and provide feedback to the user terminal 4 when the user queries. The user terminal 4 will then begin displaying the charging scheme at the backup charging position 102. The user can query the available backup charging positions 102 and their number through the user terminal 4 program.

[0060] Finally, when the main control device 104 determines that only scheduled charging is possible, the user terminal 4 will also synchronize this information through the communication device, allowing the user to choose whether to adopt the scheduled charging scheme and which specific scheduled charging method to use.

[0061] Furthermore, in the preferred solution, users need to complete personal authentication and login before using the program on user terminal 4, entering information such as their mobile phone number and license plate number. This information will be saved to cloud server 2 and sent to administrator terminal 3 when necessary for subsequent management.

[0062] Regarding the cloud server 2, in the two-wheeled vehicle charging system provided in this application, the cloud server 2 can synchronize the status detection information of the socket 103, charging position 101, and backup charging position 102 in the charging station to the main control device 104 via a 4G communication module. Furthermore, in one embodiment, the aforementioned functions can be completed in the cloud server 2, while the local main control device 104 only needs to complete data acquisition, control the socket switch, and communication functions.

[0063] In the preferred embodiment, cloud server 2 will further calculate the peak usage periods of the two-wheeled vehicle charging stations based on the daily usage changes. For example, the peak usage period for a two-wheeled vehicle charging station near an office building is usually during the morning commute; while for a two-wheeled vehicle charging station near a residential area, the peak usage period is usually after get off work in the evening. The specific peak time periods vary for different two-wheeled vehicle charging stations, and cloud server 2 will also periodically correct the calculated peak times for the corresponding two-wheeled vehicle charging stations and feed them back to the management terminal 3, enabling the manager to promptly address any abnormal occupancy statuses within the charging station before the peak period arrives.

[0064] In a further preferred embodiment, the cloud server 2 will also track the daily usage rate of all sockets 103 within the two-wheeled vehicle charging station. Within a set period, it will track the high-frequency usage times when the charging station's usage rate exceeds a set value, and calculate the percentage of time during which these high-frequency usage times occur within that set period. For example, if the charging station's usage rate exceeds 80% for more than two-thirds of the set period, it means that the number of sockets 103 at the charging station is insufficient to meet the current charging needs of two-wheeled vehicles in the area. In this case, the cloud server 2 will provide a reminder to add more sockets 103 and expand the charging converter capacity at the two-wheeled vehicle charging station. Simultaneously, since at least one spare charging position 102 is initially provided between adjacent charging positions 101 in this invention, space is also reserved for the subsequent addition of sockets 103.

[0065] In a specific embodiment, a set of parallel main control devices 104, power supply equipment, and corresponding sockets 103 can be added, making the expansion plan easier to implement. The advantage of the above solution is that it can control the initial construction cost of the two-wheeled vehicle charging station, while ensuring that it can be easily expanded as the charging supply demand of two-wheeled vehicle users in the area increases.

[0066] For the manager terminal 3, in the two-wheeled vehicle charging system provided in this application, the information received by the manager terminal 3 includes the status of the socket 103, charging position 101, and backup charging position 102 in the charging station by the main control device 104, as well as information related to abnormal occupation.

[0067] Meanwhile, the administrator terminal 3 will detect any abnormal occupancy status based on the gravity sensor and the status of the socket 103, and further classify the abnormal occupancy status as follows: The abnormal occupancy status mainly includes Level 1 abnormal occupancy and Level 2 abnormal occupancy. Level 1 abnormal occupancy means that a user who does not need to charge has parked their two-wheeled vehicle in the charging position 101 corresponding to the empty socket 103, but at least one of the adjacent backup charging positions 102 is vacant. Level 2 abnormal occupancy means that the charging position 101 corresponding to the empty socket 103, as well as the adjacent backup charging position 102, are both occupied by two-wheeled vehicles belonging to users who do not need to charge. Users who do not need to charge include those who do not currently need to charge and those who have not scheduled charging.

[0068] It is evident that socket 103 in a first-level abnormal position can still provide charging through the backup charging position 102; however, socket 103 in a second-level abnormal position cannot provide charging at all. Therefore, the second-level abnormal position situation needs to be managed and handled with priority.

[0069] Specifically, the administrator terminal 3 will time the two-wheeled vehicles that cause first-level and second-level abnormal occupancy, respectively. The allowed time for second-level abnormal occupancy is shorter than the allowed time for first-level abnormal occupancy.

[0070] In a preferred embodiment, to avoid frequent handling of abnormal parking space occupancy by the administrator, the administrator terminal 3 only reminds the administrator to handle abnormal parking space occupancy at a set time each day and between peak hours at the two-wheeled vehicle charging station. Specifically, the administrator terminal 3 receives peak hours statistics from the cloud server 2. Furthermore, during the time between peak hours, the administrator needs to perform management processing once for both Level 1 and Level 2 abnormal parking space occupancy.

[0071] The management process includes the following: for users who have registered using user terminal 4 and provided their license plate number and phone number, the administrator will contact the two-wheeled vehicle owner by phone to move the vehicle or have the administrator move it for them. For users who have not provided their license plate number and phone number through user terminal 4, the administrator will move the vehicle after it has been parked for a set period and during the period when the administrator terminal 3 reminds the administrator to deal with the situation of vehicles frequently occupying parking spaces.

[0072] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of this application.

Furthermore, when the main control device detects the existence of at least one available free socket of the first type, the main control device will further confirm that the user has parked the two-wheeled vehicle at the charging location corresponding to the available free socket of the first type before allowing charging to begin; when the main control device detects that there is no available free socket of the first type, but there is at least one available free socket of the second type, the main control device will further confirm that the user has parked the two-wheeled vehicle at an alternative charging location adjacent to the available free socket of the second type before allowing charging to begin.

2. The charging system for a two-wheeled vehicle battery based on a 4G module according to claim 1, characterized in that, When the main control device detects that there is no available free socket, it sends the information back to the user terminal, which then displays a scheduled charging mode for the user to select.

3. The charging system for a two-wheeled vehicle battery based on a 4G module according to claim 2, characterized in that, The scheduled charging mode includes a managed scheduled charging mode, in which the main control device, upon detecting an available free socket, notifies the manager to charge the user's two-wheeled vehicle via the manager terminal; when the main control device detects a charging request initiated by the manager terminal, it will directly power on the socket selected by the manager terminal without needing to check the status of the two-wheeled vehicle's parking location.

4. The charging system for a two-wheeled vehicle battery based on a 4G module according to claim 3, characterized in that, When a user selects the managed scheduled charging mode, the main control device will filter out the sockets with the shortest remaining charging time from those currently charging, and further feed back to the user terminal those that meet the requirements of not occupying the corresponding charging position or the adjacent backup charging position, so that the user can select the parking position of their two-wheeled vehicle.

5. The charging system for a two-wheeled vehicle battery based on a 4G module according to claim 2, characterized in that, The scheduled charging mode also includes a reminder-based scheduled charging mode, in which the main control device reminds the user to charge their two-wheeled vehicle via the user terminal when it detects the availability of an empty socket.

6. The charging system for a two-wheeled vehicle battery based on a 4G module according to claim 5, characterized in that, The management terminal can detect abnormal occupancy states based on the gravity sensor and the status of the socket. These abnormal occupancy states include Level 1 and Level 2 abnormal occupancy. The detection results are simultaneously sent to the management terminal, which will prioritize notifying the administrator to manage and handle Level 2 abnormal occupancy situations. Specifically, Level 1 abnormal occupancy refers to a charging position corresponding to an empty socket being occupied by a two-wheeled vehicle that does not require charging, but at least one of the adjacent backup charging positions is vacant. Level 2 abnormal occupancy refers to a charging position corresponding to an empty socket and an adjacent backup charging position being occupied by a two-wheeled vehicle that does not require charging. The two-wheeled vehicles that do not require charging include those not currently charging and those that have not selected the scheduled charging mode.

7. The charging system for a two-wheeled vehicle battery based on a 4G module according to claim 6, characterized in that, The cloud server will periodically calculate peak usage periods based on the daily usage rate of the two-wheeled vehicle charging stations and send the data to the administrator terminal. The administrator terminal will notify the administrator at least before the peak period each day to manage and handle the abnormal occupancy status of the two-wheeled vehicle charging stations. During this period, the administrator will perform management and handling once for both the first-level and second-level abnormal occupancy.

8. The charging system for a two-wheeled vehicle battery based on a 4G module according to any one of claims 1-5, characterized in that, When the main control device detects that there is an available free socket, it will further detect whether a charging cable is connected to the available free socket, and will give priority to showing the user the available free socket without a charging cable connected. When the main control device detects that all available free sockets are connected to charging cables, the main control device will further filter out the available free sockets with cable disconnection permission information and send them to the user terminal; wherein, the cable disconnection permission information is information that the user agrees to unplug the charging cable after the two-wheeled vehicle has finished charging.

9. The charging system for a two-wheeled vehicle battery based on a 4G module according to any one of claims 1-5, characterized in that, Both the charging location and the backup charging location are equipped with indicators, allowing both the user and the administrator to find the desired location.

10. The charging system for a two-wheeled vehicle battery based on a 4G module according to any one of claims 1-5, characterized in that, The cloud server will also count the daily usage rate of all sockets in the two-wheeled vehicle charging station. When the usage rate of the charging station exceeds a set value within a set period, the high-frequency usage time will be counted, and the proportion of the high-frequency usage time in the set period will be calculated. When the proportion of the time exceeds a set threshold, the cloud server will remind the two-wheeled vehicle charging station to add more sockets.
