Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of battery pack charging devices, and in particular to a shared charging pile maintenance and management platform. Background Art

[0002] Electric vehicles are a new generation of new energy vehicles. In vehicles that use electricity as a power source, there is no need to use traditional fossil energy, which reduces dependence on oil and plays a very important role in protecting the environment.

[0003] At present, most of the charging of electric vehicles is carried out in shared charging stations. These shared charging stations are divided into multiple parking spaces, and charging piles are installed for each parking space. Electric vehicles only need to wait for a relatively short time to complete charging. Most of the space inside the charging pile is used to install transformers to boost the input power supply and increase the current as much as possible to increase the charging power, which is conducive to shortening the charging time. However, high voltage and high current require relatively thick cables to support, so the cables on the charging gun are heavier and more difficult for users to use. In this case, many users will not plug the charging gun back into the charging pile after charging, but choose to throw it on the ground at will. This will cause the charging gun to be damaged due to vehicle running over or rain soaking, etc., increasing the failure rate of the charging pile. Summary of the invention

[0004] The embodiment of the present application provides a shared charging pile maintenance and management platform to solve the problem in the prior art that users may easily damage the charging guns by leaving them on the ground.

[0005] On the one hand, the embodiment of the present application provides a shared charging pile maintenance management platform, including:

[0006] A charging pile is used to be set up in a charging station, and the charging pile is connected to a charging gun;

[0007] A blocker is used to be set on the ground of the parking space, the blocker is electrically connected to the charging pile, and the blocker is unlocked after the charging gun is inserted into the charging pile;

[0008] The maintenance server is connected to the charging pile for communication, and is used to record the charging information.

[0009] In a possible implementation, the charging pile is provided with an insertion detection unit, which is used to detect the insertion status of the charging gun. When it is detected that the charging gun is inserted back into the charging pile, the charging pile controls the blocker to unlock.

[0010] In a possible implementation, an electronic tag is provided inside the charging gun, and the insertion detection unit reads the identity information of the electronic tag and compares it with preset information. When the two match, it is determined that the charging gun is inserted back into the charging pile.

[0011] In a possible implementation, a vehicle detection unit is further included. The vehicle detection unit is disposed on the ground of the parking space. The vehicle detection unit is used to detect whether there is a vehicle in the parking space. If not, the charging pile controls the blocker to lock.

[0012] In a possible implementation, it also includes an information plate having the identity information of the charging pile. When the user uses the terminal device to obtain the identity information, the maintenance server receives request information corresponding to the identity information. The maintenance server responds to the request information and sends a control instruction to the corresponding charging pile, and the charging pile controls the blocker to unlock.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the blocker includes: a block; a rotating shaft connected to one end of the block, the rotating shaft being horizontally rotated and arranged below the ground of the parking space; a driving unit contacting the block and used to drive the block to rotate so that the block switches between unlocked and locked states, wherein the block is flush with the ground of the parking space in the unlocked state, and protrudes from the ground of the parking space in the locked state.

[0014] In a possible implementation, the driving unit includes a rack, a gear and a driving motor, the rack is arranged on a side of the stopper, the gear is meshed with the rack, and the gear rotates driven by the driving motor.

[0015] A shared charging pile maintenance and management platform in this application has the following advantages:

[0016] By detecting the insertion status of the charging gun on the charging pile, it is determined whether the user has inserted the charging gun back after charging is completed. If it is inserted back, the blocker will be unlocked to prevent the user from throwing the charging gun on the ground and leaving, thus ensuring the reliable use of the charging gun.

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] Figure 1-2 The functional modules and structural diagram of a shared charging pile maintenance management platform provided in an embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the present application provides a shared charging pile maintenance management platform, including:

[0024] A charging pile 100 is used to be arranged in a charging station, and the charging pile 100 is connected to a charging gun 110;

[0025] The blocker 200 is used to be arranged on the ground of the parking space. The blocker 200 is electrically connected to the charging pile 100. The blocker 200 is unlocked after the charging gun 110 is inserted into the charging pile 100.

[0026] The maintenance server is connected to the charging pile 100 for communication, and is used to record the charging information.

[0027] Exemplarily, a plurality of parking spaces are divided in the charging station, and a charging pile 100 is generally provided near the rear of each parking space. The charging pile 100 can be used for charging vehicles in one or two parking spaces. At the same time, a socket for plugging in a charging gun 110 is provided on the side of the charging pile 100. When charging, the user needs to pull the charging gun 110 out of the socket and plug the charging gun 110 back into the socket after charging is completed. When the charging gun 110 is inserted into the socket, the cable connected to the charging gun 110 and the position near the charging pile 100 outside the parking space, the vehicle will not crush the cable or the charging gun 110 during driving, and the charging gun 110 will not malfunction due to being wetted by rain.

[0028] The blocker 200 is set on the ground of the parking space and is located near the tires of the parked vehicle. When the blocker 200 is in the locked position, it will protrude from the ground, and the vehicle tires cannot pass over the blocker 200, preventing the user from driving away without plugging the charging gun 110 back in.

[0029] The maintenance server can not only record the user's charging information, such as charging time, charging station name, charging pile number, charging unit price and total charging cost, but also save user information, such as user nickname, vehicle model, license plate number, etc. After the user uses the terminal device to communicate with the maintenance server, he can view his charging history information, and can also view the distribution information of the charging stations, the idle status of the charging piles in the specific charging station, and the charging unit price, so that the user can choose the appropriate charging station when needed.

[0030] In a possible embodiment, the charging pile 100 is provided with an insertion detection unit, which is used to detect the insertion status of the charging gun 110. When it is detected that the charging gun 110 is inserted back into the charging pile 100, the charging pile 100 controls the blocker 200 to unlock.

[0031] Exemplarily, the insertion detection unit can be set in the socket of the charging pile 100. When the charging gun 110 is inserted back into the socket, the insertion detection unit can detect the charging gun 110 and generate a corresponding electrical signal. After the electrical signal is transmitted to the charging pile 100, the charging pile 100 can determine that the charging gun 110 is inserted back.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present application, the insertion detection unit may adopt a pressure sensor, which is arranged on the inner bottom surface of the socket. When the charging gun 110 is inserted into the socket, the pressure sensor contacts the charging gun 110 and is squeezed by the charging gun 110. When the squeezing force reaches a certain value, the pressure sensor outputs a high voltage signal and transmits the high voltage signal to the charging pile 100.

[0033] In order to prevent the user from inserting the charging gun 110 incorrectly, or using an object with a similar shape and weight to the charging gun 110 to deceive the charging pile 100, the present application also sets an electronic tag inside the charging gun 110 in another embodiment, and the insertion detection unit reads the identity information of the electronic tag and compares it with the preset information. When the two match, it is determined that the charging gun 110 is inserted back into the charging pile 100. The above-mentioned electronic tag can be a radio frequency tag, and accordingly, the insertion detection unit also uses a radio frequency reading unit accordingly. The radio frequency reading unit will read the identity information in the electronic tag when the distance with the electronic tag is less than a certain value. After reading the identity information, the identity information is sent to the charging pile 100, and the control unit inside the charging pile 100, such as a microcontroller, obtains the information pre-written in the storage unit, and compares the information with the obtained identity information. If the two match, it means that the currently inserted charging gun 110 is authentic and valid and matches the charging pile 100. At this time, the charging pile 100 will control the blocker 200 to unlock, and the user can drive away. If the insertion detection unit detects that the object inserted by the user is not the charging gun 110, or the charging gun 110 does not match the charging pile 100, the blocker 200 will not be unlocked, and the user will be reminded to insert the correct charging gun 110 back through text or sound.

[0034] In a possible embodiment, a vehicle detection unit is further included. The vehicle detection unit is disposed on the ground of the parking space. The vehicle detection unit is used to detect whether there is a vehicle in the parking space. If not, the charging pile 100 controls the blocker 200 to lock.

[0035] For example, the vehicle detection unit may use a distance sensor, such as a laser distance sensor or an ultrasonic distance sensor, which emits an upward signal on the ground and determines whether there is a vehicle in the parking space by the reflection time of the signal. If the detected distance is less than the distance threshold, it indicates that there is still a vehicle in the parking space. At this time, it may be that the vehicle that has completed charging has not yet started and left, or the vehicle is leaving. At this time, the charging pile 100 will not control the blocker 200 to relock if there is a vehicle in the parking space. Only when the vehicle detection unit detects that there is no vehicle in the parking space, the charging pile 100 will control the blocker 200 to relock.

[0036] In a possible embodiment, an information sign 300 is also included, on which the identity information of the charging pile 100 is provided. When the user obtains the identity information using a terminal device, the maintenance server receives request information corresponding to the identity information. The maintenance server sends a control instruction to the corresponding charging pile 100 in response to the request information, and the charging pile 100 controls the blocker 200 to unlock.

[0037] For example, after the previous vehicle completes charging and leaves, the charging pile 100 will control the blocker 200 to re-lock. At this time, the foreign vehicle cannot drive in directly when it needs to charge. The user needs to use the terminal device to send a request to the maintenance server, so that the charging pile 100 can control the blocker 200 to unlock. Specifically, the information board 300 can be set at the front position of the parking space, and is located outside the vehicle entry and exit direction to avoid affecting the vehicle entry and exit. The information board 300 can display information such as the charging pile digital number, QR code, etc. in a printed manner. After the user uses the terminal device to obtain the identity information of the charging pile 100 by entering the digital number or scanning the QR code, the terminal device will send the identity information and request information to the maintenance server through the network. After the maintenance server identifies the identity information of the charging pile 100, it sends a control instruction to the charging pile 100 that matches the identity information. Under the control instruction, the charging pile 100 will control the blocker 200 to unlock, and the user can unlock and drive into the parking space without getting off the car.

[0038] In a possible embodiment, the blocker 200 includes: a block 210; a rotating shaft 220 connected to one end of the block 210, and the rotating shaft 220 is horizontally rotatably arranged below the ground of the parking space; a driving unit, which contacts the block 210 and is used to drive the block 210 to rotate, so that the block 210 switches between unlocked and locked states, in which the block 210 is flush with the ground of the parking space in the unlocked state, and in the locked state, the block 210 protrudes from the ground of the parking space.

[0039] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the driving unit includes a rack 230 , a gear 240 and a driving motor. The rack 230 is disposed on a side of the stopper 210 , the gear 240 is meshed with the rack 230 , and the gear 240 rotates under the drive of the driving motor.

[0040] When unlocking, the charging pile 100 controls the driving motor to rotate forward, that is, counterclockwise, and during the rotation, the gear 240 and the rack 230 are engaged to drive the block 210 to slowly rotate to be flush with the ground or rotate below the ground, so as not to hinder the normal entry and exit of vehicles. When locking, the charging pile 100 controls the driving motor to rotate reverse, that is, clockwise, and during the rotation, the gear 240 and the rack 230 are engaged to drive the block 210 to slowly rotate above the ground, preventing vehicles from entering or exiting.

[0041] Although the preferred embodiments of the present application have been described, those skilled in the art may make additional changes and modifications to these embodiments once they have learned the basic creative concept. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments and all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present application.

[0042] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present application fall within the scope of the claims of the present application and their equivalents, the present application is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
