Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle charging, in particular to a charging lock-avoiding device for a new energy vehicle. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing popularity and application of new energy vehicles, the demand for charging is also increasing. Existing charging methods, such as fixed charging piles and charging stations, require high parking space. With a limited number of charging piles, car owners have to wait in line. After the charging of a vehicle is completed, the next vehicle cannot be charged in time, resulting in low overall charging efficiency.

[0003] In this regard, a new charging mode has been proposed. After the car owner parks and queues, he does not need to wait on site. A third party can charge the car for him 24 hours a day through a mobile charging system. This can greatly reduce the waiting time for the car owner to charge and improve the convenience of charging.

[0004] However, this charging mode presents a new problem. The charging port cover of some existing new energy vehicles typically interacts with the vehicle's computer system. When the cover is open but charging is not in progress, the computer system detects an anomaly and fails to generate a lock signal. The vehicle will only be locked after a charging gun is inserted into the charging port and the system determines that charging is in progress. This design can prevent theft and misoperation, but it also makes it difficult for third parties to charge on behalf of the vehicle owner.

[0005] To this end, it is necessary to design an anti-locking device so that the vehicle can simulate the insertion of a charging gun into the charging port while the vehicle is parked and waiting to be charged, so that the vehicle to be charged can go through the locking procedure, and it is convenient for a third party to remove the anti-locking device and charge on its behalf. Utility Model Content

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used solely for descriptive purposes and have no special meaning.

[0021] See also Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a new energy vehicle charging lock avoidance device, which is used to replace the charging gun and be inserted into the charging port of the vehicle to be charged, so that the vehicle to be charged can generate a locking signal, so that some models can still be locked when the charging port cover is open and not actually charging, so that a third party can perform subsequent valet charging operations without the owner being present.

[0022] The new energy vehicle charging lock-avoiding device includes a lock-avoiding body, which includes a base 1 and an end cover 2. The base 1 is hollow, and one end of the base 1 is fixed to the end cover 2 to form an inner cavity. A PCB 3 and a battery 4 are arranged in the inner cavity. A functional module with information interaction and prompt functions is arranged on the PCB 3, and the battery 4 supplies power to the functional module. A handle 5 for convenient plugging and unplugging of the lock-avoiding body is provided on the end cover 2, and a pin 6 for connecting to the charging port is provided at the other end of the base 1.

[0023] Therefore, it can replace the charging gun and be inserted into the charging port of the vehicle to be charged, so that the vehicle to be charged can generate a locking signal, and then it can be combined with the mobile charging operation platform to provide timely valet charging according to the charging request of the car owner, which greatly improves the convenience of charging for the car owner.

[0024] Optionally, the functional module includes an Internet of Things module 7, which is used to send the location information and charging request of the vehicle to be charged to the mobile charging operation platform when the pin 6 is inserted into the charging port. The mobile charging operation platform then sends personnel or robots to move the idle mobile charging system terminal to the location of the vehicle to be charged, unplug the new energy vehicle charging anti-lock device, and insert the charging gun to charge the vehicle to be charged.

[0025] Optionally, the functional module includes a buzzer 8, which is used to emit a prompt sound when the lock avoidance body is plugged in or out, or when a vehicle to be charged is sought, or when the battery 4 is low on power. A sound hole 9 is provided on the end cover 2 at a position corresponding to the buzzer 8, thereby providing a sound prompt function.

[0026] Optionally, the functional module includes an indicator light 10, which is used to emit light of a set color and / or a set flashing frequency when plugging and unplugging the lock body or looking for a vehicle to be charged or the battery 4 is low on power. A light guide strip 11 is embedded between the end cover 2 and the base 1 to provide a light prompt function.

[0027] Optionally, a TC interface 12 is provided on the end cover 2, and the TC interface 12 is electrically connected to the battery 4, so as to facilitate charging of the charging and locking avoidance device for the new energy vehicle.

[0028] On this basis, the following specific charging process can be formed between the car owner and the mobile charging operation platform:

[0029] 1) The owner opens the charging port cover of the vehicle to be charged and inserts the new energy vehicle charging lock avoidance device into the charging port. The vehicle to be charged generates a lock signal. The owner locks the vehicle and leaves, and sends a charging request to the mobile charging operation platform;

[0030] 2) The mobile charging operation platform receives the charging request and generates a charging order, which is then sent to the mobile charging system terminal that meets the requirements;

[0031] 3) The mobile charging system terminal receives the charging order and responds, moving to the location of the target vehicle to be charged;

[0032] 4) Remove the new energy vehicle charging lock avoidance device, plug the charging gun of the mobile charging system terminal into the charging port, and start charging the vehicle to be charged;

[0033] 5) After charging is completed, unplug the charging gun of the mobile charging system terminal and place the new energy vehicle charging anti-lock device in its original position at the charging port. The mobile charging system terminal sends the charging data to the mobile charging operation platform, which generates payment information based on the charging amount, charging voltage, and current data.

[0034] 6) The mobile charging operation platform sends payment information to the car owner, and the car owner completes the payment.

[0035] In addition, the new energy vehicle charging lock avoidance device can be purchased by the car owner personally, or it can be provided for use by the mobile charging operation platform.

[0036] Obviously, the above-described embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the manner in which the present invention is to be implemented. A person skilled in the art would be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
