[0039] The increasing popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) is driving a growing demand for charging stations. Currently, charging stations on the market require cumbersome methods such as card swiping, password scanning, and app unlocking. Private charging stations, on the other hand, display charging data and personal information, which lacks privacy. Furthermore, the display screens on charging stations are easily damaged.

[0040] In view of this, the present invention proposes a charging pile 100, which can protect the screen and isolate the private content of the screen by adding a protective cover 42 to the outer layer of the display screen 41 of the charging pile 100. The facial image is collected by the acquisition module 10, and the facial image is identified and verified by the face recognition module 20, and the opening of the protective cover 42 is controlled according to the verification result, thereby ensuring that only verified users can open the protective cover 42 and operate the display screen 41, which can avoid privacy leakage and prevent the charging pile 100 from being damaged.

[0041] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention proposes a charging pile 100, including a collection module 10, a face recognition module 20, a control module 30, a display screen 41 and a protective cover 42 provided on the display screen 41, wherein the collection module 10, the face recognition module 20 and the control module 30 are connected in sequence, and the control module 30 is connected to the protective cover 42;

[0043] The acquisition module 10 is used to acquire facial images and send the acquired facial images to the face recognition module 20;

[0044] The face recognition module 20 is used to identify and verify the face image and send a verification result signal to the control module 30;

[0045] The control module 30 is used to control the opening or closing of the protection cover 42 according to the verification result signal.

[0046] In the technical solution adopted in this embodiment, Figure 1-4 As shown, the charging station 100 is equipped with an acquisition module 10, which can collect facial images of the user and send the collected face to the facial recognition module 20. The facial recognition module 20 integrates a facial recognition algorithm, which can calculate and analyze the position, shape, and angle of the facial features, and then compare it with existing templates in its own database to determine the true identity of the user and verify their identity. The facial recognition module 20 then sends a verification result signal to the control module 30. The control module 30 can control the opening or closing of the protective cover 42 based on the verification result signal.

[0047] It can be understood that the face recognition module 20 includes a preprocessing unit, a feature extraction unit, a feature matching unit, a database and a verification unit. The preprocessing unit performs image preprocessing on the facial image of the human face, thereby eliminating irrelevant information in the image, restoring useful real information, enhancing the detectability of relevant information and simplifying the data to the maximum extent, thereby improving the reliability of feature extraction, image segmentation, matching and recognition. The feature extraction unit can convert the image output by the preprocessing unit into a numerical or vector representation for subsequent classification and matching. A large number of sample features are stored in the database. The feature matching unit is used to match the features output by the feature extraction unit with the sample features in the database and output the recognition result. The verification unit is used to verify the user identity corresponding to the recognition result and output a verification result signal. Preferably, the display screen 41 is a touch display screen 41.

[0048] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the verification result signal is a verification success signal or a verification failure signal; when the control module 30 receives the verification success signal, the control module 30 controls the protective cover 42 to open; when the control module 30 receives the verification failure signal, the control module 30 controls the protective cover 42 to close.

[0049] It is understood that the control module 30 will only open the protective cover 42 after the facial recognition module 20 successfully verifies the user's identity. If the facial recognition module 20 fails to verify the user's identity, it means that the corresponding user's identity in front of the charging station 100 has not been registered or is unqualified. By keeping the protective cover 42 closed, the privacy of the user of the charging station 100 is guaranteed and strangers are prevented from damaging the display screen 41 of the charging station 100.

[0050] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, an electric cylinder 43 is provided on the charging pile 100, one end of the electric cylinder 43 is fixed on the charging pile 100, and the other end of the electric cylinder 43 is connected to the protective cover 42 through a connecting rod 431; the electric cylinder 43 is connected to the control module 30, and the control module 30 drives the connecting rod 431 of the electric cylinder 43 to extend and retract, thereby controlling the translation of the protective cover 42, and then opening or closing the protective cover 42.

[0051] It is understandable that the control module 30 controls the translation of the protective cover 42 by driving the extension and retraction of the connecting rod 431 through the electric cylinder 43, thereby controlling the opening or closing of the protective cover 42. By setting the opening and closing mode of the protective cover 42 to a translation mode, the charging pile 100 is made beautiful and the display screen 41 is fully protected. The length direction of the charging pile 100 is defined as the x-axis direction, the height direction of the charging pile 100 is defined as the y-axis direction, and the width direction of the charging pile 100 is defined as the z-axis direction. The z-axis is perpendicular to the x-axis and the y-axis respectively, and the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis form a spatial rectangular coordinate system. It is understandable that the connecting rod 431 can be extended and retracted along the length direction or height direction of the charging pile 100, thereby driving the protective cover 42 to translate along the length direction or height direction of the charging pile 100, thereby realizing the opening or closing of the protective cover 42.

[0052] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, an empty seat 62 is provided on the charging pile 100, and an electromagnetic lock 44 is provided on the empty seat 62. The electromagnetic lock 44 is connected to the control module 30. When the control module 30 receives a verification success signal, it controls the opening of the electromagnetic lock 44.

[0053] It is understandable that the charging gun 61 will be inserted into the empty seat 62 on the charging pile 100 when it is idle. When the user uses the charging gun 61, the charging gun 61 will be pulled out from the empty seat 62 and inserted into the charging seat of the new energy vehicle, thereby charging the new energy vehicle. By setting an electromagnetic lock 44 on the empty seat 62, when the charging gun 61 is inserted into the empty seat 62, the electromagnetic lock 44 will lock the charging gun 61, and the charging gun 61 cannot be pulled out at this time. Only after the user's facial recognition verification is successful, the control module 30 will control the protective cover 42 to open and control the electromagnetic lock 44 to open at the same time. At this time, the user can operate the display screen 41 and use the charging gun 61 to charge.

[0054] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the acquisition module 10 is a camera. Preferably, the camera can be at least one of an RGB camera, an infrared camera, and a depth camera.

[0055] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the charging pile 100 also includes a trigger module 50, which is connected to the acquisition module 10. The trigger module 50 is used to detect whether there is a person around the charging pile 100, and sends a first trigger signal when it is detected that there is a person around the charging pile 100; the acquisition module 10 is used to collect facial images after receiving the first trigger signal, and send the collected facial images to the face recognition module 20.

[0056] It is understandable that by setting up the trigger module 50, the acquisition module 10 is triggered to collect facial images only when the trigger module 50 detects that there is a person around the charging pile 100, thereby preventing the acquisition module 10 from wasting power and storage space by constantly collecting images. Preferably, the trigger module 50 includes a human proximity sensor.

[0057] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the trigger module 50 is used to transmit a second trigger signal to the acquisition module 10 and a third trigger signal to the control module 30 when no person is detected for a long time. The acquisition module 10 closes the acquisition module 10 according to the second trigger signal; the control module 30 closes the protective cover 42 according to the third trigger signal.

[0058] It is understandable that when the trigger module 50 does not detect a person for a long time, it means that the user has left the charging pile 100. At this time, closing the acquisition module 10 and the protective cover 42 not only saves power loss and prevents waste of storage space, but also prevents the information on the display screen 41 from being stolen by others and the display screen 41 from being damaged.

[0059] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the display screen 41 is also connected to the control module 30 , and the control module 30 turns off the display screen 41 according to the third trigger signal.

[0060] It is understandable that when the trigger module 50 does not detect a person for a long time, it means that the user has left the charging pile 100. At this time, the display screen 41 is turned off by the control module 30 to further prevent power waste.

[0061] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the charging pile 100 also includes a transceiver module 70, which is connected to the acquisition module 10; the transceiver module 70 is used to receive the viewing signal sent by the host computer and transmit it to the acquisition module 10; the acquisition module 10 is used to shoot the surrounding environment after receiving the viewing signal, and send the captured video to the host computer through the transceiver module 70.

[0062] It is understood that the host computer can be a user's mobile phone, computer, or other electronic device. When the user wants to view the environment around the charging pile 100, the user can send a viewing signal to the transceiver module 70 of the charging pile 100 through the APP on the host computer. The transceiver module 70 sends the viewing signal to the acquisition module 10. After receiving the viewing signal, the acquisition module 10 takes a video of the surrounding environment and sends the captured video to the host computer through the transceiver module 70, thereby achieving real-time monitoring of the environment around the charging pile 100.
