[0025] Currently, the common intelligent battery swapping cabinets on the market include battery swapping methods based on "scanning QR codes", "facial recognition", etc. Among them, the disadvantage of the "scanning QR code" battery swapping method is that when a user comes to the battery swapping cabinet, they need to take out their mobile phone, unlock the screen, find and open the corresponding APP or small program, and then find the "scan code" button in the software to scan the QR code on the cabinet to perform the battery swapping operation. The steps are cumbersome and inconvenient for users who are eager to swap batteries. The disadvantage of the "facial recognition" battery swapping method is that before facial recognition, it is necessary to remove accessories that cover the face, such as helmets and masks. The steps are cumbersome, bringing great trouble to people's battery swapping, and having the disadvantages of difficult battery swapping and long battery swapping time.

[0026] In view of this, the present application provides an NFC-based battery swapping system to solve the problems brought by the "scanning QR code" battery swapping method and the "facial recognition" battery swapping method. In the NFC-based battery swapping system of the embodiments of the present application, without relying on mobile phone QR code scanning or when the battery swapping cabinet is offline, by bringing the NFC tag built in the battery close to the NFC sensing area of the battery swapping cabinet, the battery swapping cabinet reads the NFC tag for encrypted interactive communication. Through the one-card-one-password algorithm, the legitimacy of the battery is confirmed, and the warehouse control system is driven to open the empty warehouse, put in the battery, and take out the new battery. It has an extremely fast warehouse opening speed and realizes an end-to-end NFC fast battery swapping method that does not rely on mobile phone QR code scanning and does not rely on platform communication verification. For example, the battery swapping system can be applied to a battery pack with a metal shell. The battery shell is built with an NFC anti-metal tag and pasted on the inner wall of the battery shell. The NFC communication board of the battery swapping system is internally composed of an RFID reader chip and performs serial communication with the 4G communication board of the battery swapping cabinet for reading and writing the NFC anti-metal tag built in the battery shell. The encrypted sector of the NFC tag will be pre-written with a key according to the encryption algorithm. The key is calculated by MD5 based on the ID of the tag and a string of keys and written to the third block of the sector and set to be non-readable and non-writable. When the user's battery approaches the NFC sensing area of the battery swapping cabinet, the key will be calculated using the same encryption algorithm according to the read card ID of the NFC tag. And this key is used to read the encrypted sector of the NFC. If it can be successfully read, it means it is a legitimate battery, and the warehouse control system drives to open the empty warehouse, allowing the user to put in the battery and take out the new battery. It realizes the functions of fast induction and door opening for battery swapping.
