[0024] The embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below.

[0025] A first aspect of the present invention provides a charging management system for a commercial vehicle fleet.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the charging management system 100 includes: an on-board terminal 110 , a fleet charging management terminal 120 and a driver terminal 130 .

[0027] Among them, the on-board terminal 110 of each commercial vehicle is used to send the vehicle location, remaining mileage and remaining power of the vehicle; the fleet charging management terminal 120 is communicated with the on-board terminal 110 of each commercial vehicle respectively; the driver terminal 130 of each commercial vehicle is communicated with the fleet charging management terminal 120 to receive information on the charging timing of the commercial vehicle.

[0028] Specifically, multiple commercial vehicles in a commercial vehicle fleet send the vehicle information acquired by the on-board terminal 110 to the fleet charging management terminal 120 in real time. The vehicle information includes the vehicle location, remaining mileage and remaining battery power of the vehicle. The fleet charging management terminal 120 determines whether the vehicle needs to be charged based on the acquired vehicle location, remaining mileage and remaining battery power of the vehicle. If the vehicle needs to be charged, the fleet charging management terminal 120 sends the information on the charging timing of the commercial vehicle to the driver terminal 130, and the driver drives the vehicle to the nearest charging pile for charging based on the received information.

[0029] According to the charging management system of the commercial vehicle fleet in the embodiment of the utility model, the location information, remaining power, and remaining mileage information of all vehicles in the fleet are obtained through the on-board terminal, and the vehicle information is sent to the fleet charging management terminal for analysis. The fleet charging management terminal sends the vehicle charging information to the driver terminal so that the vehicle can be charged at the best time, and comprehensively provides accurate control over the charging time of the fleet, avoiding the situation of vehicles queuing for charging or waiting for charging, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the fleet.

[0030] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle-mounted terminal 110 includes a vehicle-mounted T-BOX 111 .

[0031] The vehicle-mounted T-BOX 111 is connected to the fleet charging management terminal 120 for communication and is used to send the vehicle location and the remaining mileage of the vehicle.

[0032] Specifically, the vehicle-mounted T-BOX111 is mainly used to communicate with the fleet charging management terminal 120 to send vehicle information to the fleet charging management terminal 120; during the vehicle's driving, the vehicle-mounted T-BOX111 obtains the vehicle's position and the vehicle's remaining mileage in real time, and sends the obtained vehicle information to the fleet charging management terminal 120. The fleet charging management terminal 120 analyzes and calculates the received vehicle position and vehicle's remaining mileage to obtain the vehicle's current status.

[0033] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle terminal 110 includes a battery management system 112 .

[0034] The battery management system 112 is in communication with the fleet charging management terminal 120 to send the remaining power of the vehicle.

[0035] During the driving process of the vehicle, the battery management system 112 obtains the remaining power of the vehicle in real time, and sends the obtained remaining power information of the vehicle to the fleet charging management terminal 120. The fleet charging management terminal 120 conducts a comprehensive analysis of the received remaining power information of the vehicle, the vehicle position and the remaining mileage of the vehicle to determine whether the current state of the vehicle can continue to work or needs to be charged in time.

[0036] In some embodiments, the driver terminal is a vehicle-mounted user terminal or a driver mobile terminal.

[0037] Specifically, the driver terminal 130 can be a vehicle-mounted user terminal or a driver's mobile terminal. For example, the vehicle-mounted user terminal can be a vehicle central control display screen. When the fleet charging management terminal 120 sends a charging instruction, the vehicle central control display screen receives the charging instruction, automatically navigates to the charging destination, and issues a charging reminder sound. The driver's mobile terminal can be the driver's mobile phone. After the fleet charging management terminal 120 sends a charging instruction, the driver's mobile phone receives the charging instruction and issues a reminder sound. The vehicle-mounted user terminal and the driver's mobile terminal can simultaneously receive the charging information sent by the fleet charging management terminal 120 without affecting each other, thereby ensuring that the driver can charge the vehicle in time when the vehicle needs charging.

[0038] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the charging management system 100 includes a charging pile 140 .

[0039] The charging pile 140 is connected to the fleet charging management terminal 120 for communication and is used to send charging status information of the charging pile.

[0040] Specifically, multiple charging piles 140 are communicatively connected with the fleet charging management terminal 120, and the current charging status information is sent to the fleet charging management terminal 120 in real time. The charging status information includes whether the charging pile is charging and the remaining time that the charging pile needs to charge the vehicle; the fleet charging management terminal 120 analyzes and judges based on the charging status information of the charging pile 140, so that the vehicle goes to the idle charging pile for charging.

[0041] In some embodiments, the fleet charging management terminal is also used to obtain the distance between the commercial vehicles in the fleet that need to be charged and the charging piles.

[0042] Specifically, the fleet charging management terminal 120 obtains the distance between the commercial vehicle that needs to be charged in the fleet and the charging pile 140, and sends the position of the nearest charging pile 140 to the commercial vehicle driver terminal 130. If the charging pile 140 is charging, the time for the commercial vehicle to reach the charging pile 140 is calculated based on the distance between the commercial vehicle and the charging pile 140, and compared with the end time of the charging pile, the location information of the optimal charging pile 140 is sent to the commercial vehicle driver terminal 130 that needs to be charged.

[0043] According to the following Figure 2 The charging management system for a commercial vehicle fleet of the utility model is described.

[0044] like Figure 2As shown, the charging management system of the commercial vehicle fleet includes a fleet charging management terminal, multiple charging piles, multiple vehicle terminals, and multiple driver terminals. Each vehicle terminal includes a vehicle-mounted T-BOX and a vehicle-mounted battery management system. The fleet charging management terminal can receive the vehicle location information, the remaining mileage of the vehicle, and the remaining power information of the vehicle transmitted by the vehicle-mounted T-BOX of each vehicle, and the information of the remaining power of the vehicle transmitted by the battery management system. At the same time, the fleet charging management terminal receives the information of whether each charging pile is being charged and the estimated charging time. When the remaining power of one or more vehicles is low, the fleet charging management terminal receives the vehicle information, determines the best time for charging the vehicle through the set logic, and informs the driver to charge at the corresponding charging pile through the driver terminal. Whether the charging pile is in use and the required charging time are transmitted to the fleet charging management terminal, and the fleet charging management terminal then sends the information of the best charging time to other vehicles that need to be charged through the set logic. When charging is completed, the charging pile transmits the information to the fleet charging management terminal, and the fleet charging management terminal transmits the charging completion signal to the driver terminal.

[0045] The second embodiment of the utility model provides a fleet charging management terminal, such as Figure 3 As shown, the fleet charging management terminal 120 includes: a first communication module 121 , a second communication module 122 and a controller 124 .

[0046] The controller 124 is connected to the first communication module 121 and the second communication module 122 respectively. The first communication module 121 is suitable for communicating with the vehicle terminal 110 of each commercial vehicle in the fleet, and the second communication module 122 is suitable for communicating with the driver terminal 130 of each commercial vehicle in the fleet.

[0047] Specifically, the controller 124 in the fleet charging management terminal 120 is connected to the first communication module 121 and the second communication module 122 respectively to control the first communication module 121 and the second communication module 122 to communicate with the vehicle terminal 110 and the driver terminal 130; the first communication module 121 is connected to the vehicle terminal 110 so that the fleet charging management terminal 120 obtains the vehicle position information, the remaining mileage of the vehicle and the remaining power information of the vehicle transmitted by the vehicle T-BOX 111 inside the vehicle terminal 110 and the battery management system inside the vehicle terminal 110; the second communication module 122 is connected to the driver terminal 130 to send the location information of the charging pile 140 to the driver terminal; when the remaining power of one or more vehicles is less, the fleet charging management terminal 120 receives the vehicle information, determines the best time to charge the vehicle through the set logic, and informs the driver to go to the corresponding charging pile to charge through the driver terminal 130.

[0048] According to the fleet charging management terminal of the embodiment of the utility model, the location information, remaining power, remaining mileage information, and charging pile usage of all vehicles in the fleet are obtained through the charging management terminal. The fleet charging management terminal analyzes the vehicle information and provides comprehensive and accurate control over the charging time of the fleet to avoid vehicles queuing for charging or waiting for charging, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the fleet.

[0049] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the fleet charging management terminal 120 includes: a third communication module 123 .

[0050] The third communication module 123 is suitable for communication connection with the charging pile 140 .

[0051] Specifically, the third communication module 123 in the fleet charging management terminal 120 is connected to the charging pile 140 for obtaining the charging information of the charging pile 140; whether the charging pile 140 is in use and the required charging time are transmitted to the fleet charging management terminal 120 through the third communication module 123, and the fleet charging management terminal 120 then sends the information of the best charging time to the vehicle to be charged through the set logic. When charging is completed, the charging pile 140 transmits the information to the fleet charging management terminal 120, and the fleet charging management terminal 120 transmits the charging completion signal to the driver terminal 130.

[0052] Reference below Figure 4 The figure illustrates the judgment logic steps of the fleet charging management terminal in an embodiment of the utility model, and the specific contents are as follows.

[0053] Step S1, the remaining power of two or more vehicles drops to 35% during the return trip.

[0054] Step S2, whether the distance to the charging pile is close, if yes, go to step S6, otherwise go to step S3.

[0055] Step S3, whether other vehicles meet the requirement of increasing the total mileage of the outbound trip + the return trip once after the return trip, if so, execute step S4, otherwise execute step S6.

[0056] Step S4, continue the operation.

[0057] Step S5: the remaining power of the vehicle drops to 25%.

[0058] Step S6, the fleet charging management terminal sends information to the driver terminal to charge at an idle charging pile.

[0059] The total distance of the outbound and return trips of the vehicles is set according to the total power of different vehicles and the different operating conditions of the fleet. For example, the outbound + return trips of the vehicles total 100km, and the power consumption is 20%. When the remaining power of one or more vehicles in the fleet drops to 25%, the fleet charging management terminal 120 informs the driver through the driver terminal 130 to charge at an available charging pile 140 after the return trip; the vehicle closest to the charging pile 140 is charged first. If each charging pile 140 has a charging vehicle, the driver is notified to charge at the charging pile with the shortest remaining charging time; after charging the vehicle, the charging pile transmits the signal of being in use to the fleet charging management terminal 120.

[0060] If the remaining power of two or more vehicles in the fleet drops to 35% during the return trip, the distance between the vehicle position and the charging pile 140 is logically judged, and the vehicles closest to the charging pile are notified to charge at the available charging piles first; if each charging pile 140 has a charging vehicle, the driver is notified to charge at the charging pile with the shortest remaining charging time. At the same time, it is determined whether the remaining mileage of another or more vehicles with a remaining power of 35% meets the requirement of adding the total mileage of the outbound trip + the return trip after the return trip. If so, no notification is required, and notification will be made when the power drops to 25%; if not, the vehicle is notified to charge after the return trip. After charging the vehicle, the charging pile 140 transmits the signal of being in use to the fleet charging management terminal 120.
