Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2023117531416, filed on December 20, 2023, entitled "Method for controlling charging of an energy storage device and related apparatus," the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] The present application relates generally to the field of control technology, and more particularly to a method and related apparatus for controlling charging of an energy storage device. [Background technology]

[0003] Among various automobile products, campervans currently offer users a relatively good travel experience. A campervan can accommodate multiple travel devices, such as camping devices and fishing devices, each of which is equipped with a portable energy storage device for power supply. Typically, these energy storage devices are charged by a control system within the campervan arranging a corresponding on-board charger. However, currently, charging these energy storage batteries using the on-board charger is based on an artificial method, which does not clearly identify the required charging amount for each energy storage device, nor does it clearly identify the energy storage device with the most urgent charging need among the multiple energy storage devices. As a result, the energy storage device with the most urgent charging need cannot obtain a sufficient charge, which ultimately prevents the trip device from being used normally and results in a poor user experience. Furthermore, under conditions where the energy storage capacity corresponding to the camper van control system is limited, the inability to clearly determine the charging demand corresponding to each energy storage device leads to low efficiency in the allocation of energy storage capacity in the camper van control system and further leads to insufficient utilization of power resources in the camper van control system. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a method and related device for controlling charging of an energy storage device, which determines the charge amount of an energy storage battery corresponding to a device used in a camper based on trip information, and controls an on-board charger accordingly to charge the energy storage battery, thereby intelligently determining the power allocation of the energy storage battery in the camper, improving the efficiency of the control system's allocation of the corresponding energy storage capacity, and further improving the energy utilization rate of the energy storage capacity.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a method for controlling charging of an energy storage device, the method being applied to a controller in a camper control system, the camper control system further including an on-board charger and at least one energy storage battery. The method includes: Get trip information, including the current trip destination and weather information. A first device in use corresponding to the destination of the current trip is determined. Based on the weather information, a predicted power consumption of the first device is determined. Determine a first charge amount of a first energy storage battery corresponding to the first device of use based on the trip information and the predicted power consumption of the first device of use, where the first energy storage battery is one of the at least one energy storage batteries. The vehicle-mounted charger is controlled to charge the first energy storage battery based on a first charge amount corresponding to the first energy storage battery.

[0006] In this manner, the present application determines a corresponding first use device based on the current trip destination in the trip information, determines a first charge amount for a first energy storage battery corresponding to the first use device based on the trip information, and charges the first energy storage battery accordingly using an on-board charger. In this manner, the charging demand corresponding to a device that may be used in the camper is determined based on the trip information, and the energy storage battery corresponding to the device that may be used in the camper can be automatically charged according to the charging demand. This ensures that the user's use of the first use device is not affected by power shortages, improves the efficiency of the control system's allocation of the corresponding energy storage capacity, improves the energy utilization rate of the energy storage capacity, and allows the control system to more intelligently charge the energy storage battery.

[0007] In an executable example, the method further includes: determining at least one application scene corresponding to a destination of the current trip; determining at least one second application scene corresponding to a first use device from the at least one application scene; and determining scene weather information corresponding to the at least one second application scene from the weather information. Determining the predicted power consumption of the first use device based on the weather information includes determining the predicted power consumption of the first use device based on the scene weather information corresponding to the at least one second application scene.

[0008] In this application, scene weather information corresponding to at least one second application scene among the weather information is determined based on at least one second application scene corresponding to a first device used in a camper van, and the predicted power consumption of the first device used is determined based on the scene weather information, thereby increasing the correlation between the weather information and the current trip and improving the accuracy of determining the predicted power consumption of the first device used.

[0009] In a possible example, the trip information further includes an arrival time corresponding to the destination of the current trip. The method further includes determining a duration of use of the first device-in-use based on the arrival time. Determining the predicted power consumption of the first device-in-use based on scene weather information corresponding to at least one second application scene includes: determining a unit power consumption of the first device-in-use based on the scene weather information; and if there is one first device-in-use, determining a predicted power consumption of the first device-in-use based on the duration of use and the unit power consumption.

[0010] In this application, the duration of use of the first device is determined based on the arrival time, and the unit power consumption of the first device is determined based on the scene weather information. The predicted power consumption of the first device is determined based on the duration of use and the unit power consumption, which not only improves the efficiency of determining the predicted power consumption of the first device, but also improves the accuracy of determining the predicted power consumption of the first device.

[0011] In a possible embodiment, the method further comprises: If there are a plurality of first use devices, a second application scene corresponding to each of the plurality of first use devices is determined. If there are multiple second application scenes corresponding to multiple first use devices and there are no second use devices corresponding to multiple second application scenes among the multiple first use devices, the unit power consumption of each of the multiple first use devices is determined based on the scene weather information. When there are multiple second application scenes corresponding to the multiple first use devices, and the multiple first use devices include second use devices corresponding to the multiple second application scenes, determine the unit power consumption of each of the multiple first use devices based on the scene weather information, The unit power consumption of the second use device includes multiple first unit power consumptions, and the multiple first unit power consumptions correspond to the multiple second application scenes. A predicted power consumption amount of each of the first devices is determined based on the unit power consumption amount and the duration of use of each of the first devices.

[0012] In this application, when there are multiple first use devices and multiple second use devices corresponding to multiple second application scenarios, the predicted power consumption of the second use devices is determined according to each second application scenario, thereby avoiding power shortage of the energy storage battery corresponding to the second use device due to multiple uses of the second use device during a trip and improving the accuracy of determining the predicted power consumption of the second use device.

[0013] In a possible example, the trip information further includes a trip duration of the current trip, and determining a first charge amount of a first energy storage battery corresponding to the first device of use based on the predicted power consumption of the first device of use includes the following: A second charge amount of the first energy storage battery is determined based on the trip duration, the charging power of the on-board charger, and the first power amount of the first energy storage battery, where the first power amount includes a remaining battery amount and a battery capacity. If the second amount of power is determined to be equal to or greater than the predicted power consumption of the first device, the second amount of charge is determined as the first amount of charge, which is the sum of the second amount of charge and the remaining amount of the first energy storage battery. If it is determined that the second amount of power is smaller than the predicted power consumption of the first device, determine whether there is a second energy storage battery among the other energy storage batteries, where the other energy storage battery is an energy storage battery other than the first energy storage battery among the at least one energy storage battery, and a third amount of power corresponding to the second energy storage battery is equal to or greater than the predicted power consumption of the first device, the third amount of power being the sum of a third charge amount and a remaining battery capacity of the second energy storage battery, and the third charge amount being determined based on the trip duration, the charging power of the on-board charger, and the first amount of power of the second energy storage battery. If it is determined that the other energy storage battery has a second energy storage battery, the second energy storage battery is determined as a new first energy storage battery, and the third charge amount is determined as a first charge amount of the new first energy storage battery. If it is determined that there is no second energy storage battery in the other energy storage batteries, the combination of the third energy storage battery and the first energy storage battery in the other energy storage batteries is determined as a new first energy storage battery, the second power amount of the new first energy storage battery is equal to or greater than the predicted power consumption of the first use device, and the second charge amount of the new first energy storage battery is determined as the first charge amount of the new first energy storage battery.

[0014] In this application, the first charge amount of the first energy storage battery is determined based on the chargeable amount of the first energy storage battery and the predicted power consumption of the first device, thereby avoiding the first energy storage device being unable to meet the power demand of the first device due to charging problems.

[0015] In an executable example, determining the second charge amount of the first energy storage battery based on the trip duration, the charging power of the on-board charger, and the first power amount of the first energy storage battery includes: determining a fourth charge amount of the first energy storage battery based on the trip duration and the charging power of the on-board charger; if the fourth charge amount is determined to be greater than the first difference, determining the first difference as the second charge amount; the first difference is the difference between the battery capacity and the remaining battery amount of the first energy storage battery; if the fourth charge amount is determined to be less than or equal to the first difference, determining the fourth charge amount as the second charge amount.

[0016] In the present application, the second amount of charge is determined by comparing the fourth amount of charge with the first difference, thereby improving the accuracy of determining the second amount of charge.

[0017] In an executable example, controlling the on-board charger to charge the first energy storage battery based on a first charge amount corresponding to the first energy storage battery includes: If there are multiple destinations, the on-board charger is controlled to charge the fourth energy storage battery based on a first charge amount corresponding to the fourth energy storage battery, where the fourth energy storage battery corresponds to the first destination. When charging of the fourth energy storage battery is completed, the on-board charger is controlled to charge the fifth energy storage battery based on a first charge amount corresponding to the fifth energy storage battery, the fifth energy storage battery corresponds to a second destination, an arrival time corresponding to the first destination is earlier than an arrival time corresponding to the second destination, and the fourth energy storage battery and the fifth energy storage battery constitute a first energy storage battery.

[0018] In this application, when there are multiple destinations, the energy storage device corresponding to the destination with the earliest arrival time is arranged to be charged first, thereby ensuring that the power supply demand of the energy storage battery used first is met first, and improving the overall charging efficiency of the energy storage battery.

[0019] In a second aspect, the present application provides a charging control device for an energy storage device, the device being applied to a controller in a camper control system, the camper control system further including an on-board charger and at least one energy storage battery, the device comprising: an acquisition unit, a determination unit, and a control unit.

The determination unit is further configured to determine a first charge amount of a first energy storage battery corresponding to the first use device based on the trip information and the predicted power consumption amount of the first use device, where the first energy storage battery is an energy storage battery of the at least one energy storage battery. The control unit is configured to control the on-board charger to charge the first energy storage battery based on a first charge amount corresponding to the first energy storage battery.

[0020] In a third aspect, the present application provides an electronic device, the electronic device comprising a processor, a memory, and a communication interface, the processor, the memory, and the communication interface being connected to each other and enabling communication therebetween, the memory storing executable program code, and the communication interface being used for wireless communication, the processor calling the executable program code stored in the memory to perform some or all of the steps of any one of the methods of the first aspect.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments.

[0026] The term "embodiment" as used herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. Appearance of such a term anywhere in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art can explicitly or implicitly understand that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0027] 1, which is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a camper control system according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, the camper control system 100 includes a controller 101, an on-board charger 102, and a plurality of energy storage batteries 103.

[0028] The controller 101 is used to control the on-board charger 102 to charge the multiple energy storage batteries 103 .

[0029] An on-board charger 102 is used to charge a number of energy storage cells 103 in the camper's storage battery.

[0030] The energy storage battery 103 is used to supply power to target target devices, such as a lighting lamp and a trolling motor. There may be multiple energy storage batteries 103, and each energy storage battery 103 may correspond to a different application scenario or configuration. For example, a first energy storage battery may be used to supply power to a lighting lamp, and a second energy storage battery may be used to supply power to a trolling motor. Each energy storage battery 103 may be equipped with a battery management system (BMS) and may include a wired / wireless communication interface, thereby facilitating the controller 101 or the target target terminal device to obtain information such as the battery power of each energy storage battery 103.

[0031] The controller 101 acquires trip information for a target object. The trip information may include a current trip destination and weather information. Based on the current trip destination, the controller 101 determines a first device-of-use corresponding to the destination from among multiple devices-of-use for the target object. The controller 101 determines a predicted amount of power consumption for the first device-of-use based on weather information, and determines a first charge amount for the energy storage battery 103 corresponding to the first device-of-use based on the predicted amount of power consumption for the first device-of-use and the trip information. The controller 101 controls the on-board charger 102 to charge the energy storage battery 103 based on the first charge amount for the energy storage battery 103. In this way, a charging demand corresponding to a device that may be used in the camper van is determined based on the trip information, and the energy storage battery corresponding to the device that may be used in the camper van can be automatically charged according to the charging demand amount. This ensures that the user's use of the first use device is not affected by power shortages, improves the efficiency of the control system's allocation of the corresponding energy storage capacity, improves the energy utilization rate of the energy storage capacity, and allows the control system to charge the energy storage battery more intelligently.

[0032] Based on the above, an embodiment of the present application provides a charging control method for an energy storage device. Hereinafter, the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Referring to Figure 2, Figure 2 is a flowchart showing a charging control method for an energy storage device according to an embodiment of the present application, which is applied to the camper control system described above. As shown in Figure 2, the method includes the following contents:

[0034] Step S201: The controller acquires trip information.

[0035] The trip information includes the current trip destination and weather information. The trip information may be acquired by the controller when the target object is navigating with the corresponding navigation device of the camper, or may be acquired by the controller when the target object is navigating with the terminal device. The weather information may include ambient temperature, wind speed, wind direction, precipitation amount, etc.

[0036] Step S202: The controller determines the first device-in-use corresponding to the destination of the current trip.

[0037] The first use device is a device among the multiple use devices arranged in the camper by the target object, and the first use device corresponding to the destination of the current trip can be determined according to the application scene corresponding to the destination. For example, if the destination is a bay, the corresponding application scene is the sea, and the corresponding first use device can include a trolling motor of a fishing boat and a thermostatic fishing box.

[0038] Step S203: The controller determines the predicted power consumption of the first device according to the weather information.

[0039] During use of the first use device, environmental factors such as weather may affect the use of the first use device, which in turn affects the power consumption of the first use device. For example, if the target is a fishing boat out at sea and encounters a headwind, the power of the fishing boat needs to be increased, which affects the power consumption of the trolling motor.

[0040] Specifically, the following content is further included before the current step: In a possible embodiment, the method further includes the following content: Determine at least one application scene corresponding to a destination of the current trip; Determine at least one second application scene corresponding to the first use device from the at least one application scene; Determine scene weather information corresponding to the at least one second application scene from the weather information.

[0041] Determining the predicted power consumption of the first use device based on the weather information includes determining the predicted power consumption of the first use device based on scene weather information corresponding to at least one second application scene.

[0042] The destination of the current trip may include multiple application scenarios, but the target trip does not necessarily involve all of the application scenarios. In this case, the application scenarios for the target trip can be further determined based on the usage devices installed in the camper. For example, if the application scenarios included in the current destination are mountains and rivers and the first usage device includes a trolling motor and a thermostatic fishing box, it can be determined that the first usage device is a device for fishing or sailing, and therefore the application scenario for the target trip can be determined to be a river.

[0043] In addition, the weather information corresponding to the destination should be scene weather information corresponding to at least one second application scene determined based on the first use device, so that the predicted power consumption of the first use device can be determined based on the scene weather information. For example, if the second application scene is a river, the scene weather information may include information that affects fishing or sailing, such as wind speed and wind direction on the river surface.

[0044] For example, refer to Table 1, which is a comparison table of weather information according to the present application. From Table 1, it can be seen that the scene information corresponding to different application scenes may be different. If the weather information corresponding to a water application scene and the weather information corresponding to a mountain application scene are both temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and precipitation, the scene weather information corresponding to the water application scene includes information that affects fishing and sailing, such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, and wind direction, and the scene weather information corresponding to the mountain application scene includes information that affects visibility and further affects mountain trips, such as temperature, humidity, and precipitation.

[0045] [Table 1]

[0046] In an embodiment of the present application, scene weather information corresponding to at least one second application scene among the weather information is determined based on at least one second application scene corresponding to a first device used in a camper van, and the predicted power consumption of the first device used is determined based on the scene weather information, thereby increasing the correlation between the weather information and the current trip and improving the accuracy of determining the predicted power consumption of the first device used.

[0047] In a further possible embodiment, the trip information further includes an arrival time corresponding to the destination of the current trip, and the method further includes determining a usage duration of the first device of use based on the arrival time.

[0048] Determining the predicted power consumption of the first use device based on scene weather information corresponding to at least one second application scene includes: determining the unit power consumption of the first use device based on the scene weather information; and if there is one first use device, determining the predicted power consumption of the first use device based on the duration of use and the unit power consumption.

[0049] The predicted power consumption of the first device of use can be determined based on the unit power consumption and duration of use of the first device of use. The unit power consumption of the first device of use can be determined based on scene weather information, specifically, based on both the rated operating power of the first device of use and the impact of the scene weather information on the use of the first device of use. This is because the scene weather information can affect the power consumption of the first device of use. For example, if the first device of use is a trolling motor of a boat, if the wind direction on the river surface is opposite to the direction of travel of the boat, the trolling motor will require more power to move forward, thereby increasing power consumption.

[0050] The duration of use of the first device of use is determined based on the time the camper arrives at the destination. This is because the time the camper arrives at the destination may affect the duration of use of the first device of use by the target subject. For example, if the first device of use is a fishing device, the target subject may not be too concerned about the duration of use of the first device of use if the camper arrives at the destination in the morning. If the camper arrives at the destination in the afternoon, the target subject may be concerned that using the first device of use for too long will be unsafe when the sky darkens. Therefore, the duration of use of the first device of use corresponding to arriving at the destination at night may be shorter than the duration of use of the first device of use corresponding to arriving at the destination in the morning. Furthermore, predictions according to the present application may be made based on a predictive model, and training data for the predictive model may be historical trip data corresponding to the camper.

[0051] Specifically, both the unit power consumption of the first device in use and the duration of use of the first device in use may be determined based on empirical values ​​or a predictive model. For example, the empirical value corresponding to the unit power consumption may refer to the unit power consumption of the first device in use under the corresponding weather information in a historical trip. For example, the first device in use is a boat trolling motor that provides driving power for the boat and has a rated power of 40. Given two sets of historical trip information, one set includes a wind power level of 4 and a unit power consumption of 50, and the second set includes a wind power level of 2 and a unit power consumption of 45, it can be determined that the unit power consumption increases with an increase in the wind power level. Based on the two wind power levels and their corresponding unit power consumptions, it can be simply determined that the corresponding unit power consumption increases by 2.5 for each increase in the wind power level. Therefore, if the current wind power level is level 3, it can be determined that the current unit power consumption of the first device in use is 47.5.

[0052] As another example, the experience value corresponding to the duration of use may refer to the arrival time of the first device used in a historical trip and the duration of use corresponding to the arrival time. For example, in a first historical trip, the arrival time of the first device used is 10:00 AM, and the duration of use corresponding to the first device used is 8 hours. In a second historical trip, the arrival time of the first device used is 2:00 PM, and the duration of use corresponding to the first device used is 4 hours. In this case, it can be determined that the later the arrival time, the shorter the duration of use corresponding to the first device used. Simply using the above two data, if the arrival time is 12:00 PM, it can be determined that the duration of use of the first device used is 6 hours.

[0053] Furthermore, the prediction model based on unit power consumption may refer to a prediction model determined after model training based on the unit power consumption of the first device used corresponding to the historical trip and scene weather information. For example, the training data for the prediction model corresponding to the first device used may include the unit power consumption under rated power, the actual unit power consumption, and scene weather information. The scene weather information may refer to factors that affect the power consumption of the device used in the current application scenario, such as rainfall, wind speed, and temperature. Furthermore, the prediction model based on usage duration may refer to a prediction model determined after model training based on the arrival time of the first device used corresponding to the historical trip and the corresponding usage duration. The prediction model may refer to a neural network model, a linear regression model, etc.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present application, the duration of use of the first device is determined based on the arrival time, and the unit power consumption of the first device is determined based on the scene weather information. The predicted power consumption of the first device is determined based on the duration of use and the unit power consumption, thereby improving not only the efficiency of determining the predicted power consumption of the first device, but also the accuracy of determining the predicted power consumption of the first device.

[0055] Furthermore, in a possible embodiment, the method further comprises: If there are a plurality of first use devices, a second application scene corresponding to each of the plurality of first use devices is determined. If there are multiple second application scenes corresponding to multiple first use devices and there are no second use devices corresponding to multiple second application scenes among the multiple first use devices, the unit power consumption of each of the multiple first use devices is determined based on the scene weather information. When there are multiple second application scenes corresponding to the multiple first use devices, and the multiple first use devices include second use devices corresponding to the multiple second application scenes, determine the unit power consumption of each of the multiple first use devices based on the scene weather information, The unit power consumption of the second use device includes multiple first unit power consumptions, and the multiple first unit power consumptions correspond to the multiple second application scenes. A predicted power consumption amount of each of the first devices is determined based on the unit power consumption amount and the duration of use of each of the first devices.

[0056] When there are multiple first use devices, it is necessary to determine the predicted power consumption corresponding to each first use device. However, the first use device may have a second use device corresponding to multiple application scenes. In this case, the predicted power consumption of the second use device includes the predicted power consumption corresponding to each of the multiple application scenes. Calculation of the predicted power consumption of the second use device may include the following: determining multiple unit predicted power consumptions based on scene weather information corresponding to each of the multiple application scenes corresponding to the second use device; determining multiple scene predicted power consumptions based on the multiple unit predicted power consumptions and the duration of use of the second use device; and determining the predicted power consumption of the second use device based on the multiple scene predicted power consumptions.

[0057] Furthermore, for the second device in use, the target object may use the second device in only one application scenario during the actual trip. To avoid duplicate calculations when calculating the predicted power consumption of the second device in use, the application scenario corresponding to the second device in use can be determined based on the application scenario corresponding to a third device in use other than the second device in use among the plurality of first devices in use.

[0058] Specifically, an application scene corresponding to the third device in use is determined, and based on the application scene corresponding to the third device in use, an application scene corresponding to the second device in use is determined from the multiple application scenes corresponding to the second device in use. The application scene corresponding to the second device in use is the same as the application scene corresponding to the third device in the multiple application scenes corresponding to the second device in use. This is because the second device in use, as a device usable in the multiple application scenes, does not have a particularly strong correlation with each of the usable application scenes. In this case, if the first device in use has another device in use that corresponds to a third application scene that is the same as one of the multiple application scenes corresponding to the second device in use, it can be determined that the target subject is likely to use the second device in use for the third application scene during the actual trip.

[0059] For example, refer to Table 2, which is a comparison table of devices and scenes according to the present application. From Table 2, it can be seen that Device 1, Device 2, and Device 3 all correspond to mountain application scenes, but Device 3 also corresponds to water application scenes. When calculating the predicted power consumption of Device 3, only the predicted power consumption corresponding to the mountain application scene of Device 3 needs to be calculated. Table 2 is as follows:

[0060] [Table 2]

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, when there are multiple first use devices and multiple second use devices corresponding to multiple second application scenarios, the predicted power consumption of the second use devices is determined according to each second application scenario, thereby avoiding power shortages in the energy storage batteries corresponding to the second use devices due to multiple uses of the second use devices during a trip and improving the accuracy of determining the predicted power consumption of the second use devices.

[0062] Step S204: The controller determines a first charge amount of the first energy storage battery corresponding to the first use device according to the trip information and the predicted power consumption of the first use device.

[0063] The first energy storage battery is an energy storage battery among the at least one energy storage battery. Each of the at least one energy storage battery corresponds to one or more use devices. Also, one use device may correspond to one or more energy storage batteries. Determining the first charge amount of the first energy storage battery is to ensure sufficient power for the first use device.

[0064] The current steps are detailed below.

[0065] Specifically, in a feasible embodiment, the trip information further includes a trip duration of the current trip. Determining a first charge amount of the first energy storage battery corresponding to the first device of use based on the predicted power consumption of the first device of use includes: A second charge amount of the first energy storage battery is determined based on the trip duration, the charging power of the on-board charger, and the first power amount of the first energy storage battery, where the first power amount includes a remaining battery amount and a battery capacity. If the second amount of power is determined to be equal to or greater than the predicted power consumption of the first device, the second amount of charge is determined as the first amount of charge, which is the sum of the second amount of charge and the remaining amount of the first energy storage battery. If it is determined that the second amount of power is smaller than the predicted power consumption of the first device, determine whether there is a second energy storage battery among the other energy storage batteries, where the other energy storage battery is an energy storage battery other than the first energy storage battery among the at least one energy storage battery, and a third amount of power corresponding to the second energy storage battery is equal to or greater than the predicted power consumption of the first device, the third amount of power being the sum of a third charge amount and a remaining battery capacity of the second energy storage battery, and the third charge amount being determined based on the trip duration, the charging power of the on-board charger, and the first amount of power of the second energy storage battery. If it is determined that the other energy storage battery has a second energy storage battery, the second energy storage battery is determined as a new first energy storage battery, and the third charge amount is determined as a first charge amount of the new first energy storage battery. If it is determined that there is no second energy storage battery in the other energy storage batteries, the combination of the third energy storage battery and the first energy storage battery in the other energy storage batteries is determined as a new first energy storage battery, the second power amount of the new first energy storage battery is equal to or greater than the predicted power consumption of the first use device, and the second charge amount of the new first energy storage battery is determined as the first charge amount of the new first energy storage battery.

[0066] The second charge amount is a maximum charge amount determined based on the duration of the current trip, the charging power of the on-board charger, and the first power amount of the first energy storage battery. If the sum of the second charge amount and the remaining battery amount of the first energy storage battery is equal to or greater than the predicted power consumption of the first device, the second charge amount can be directly determined as the first charge amount of the first energy storage battery. If the sum of the second charge amount and the remaining battery amount of the first energy storage battery is less than the predicted power consumption of the first device, determining the second charge amount as the first charge amount of the first energy storage battery will not satisfy the power demand of the first device. In this case, a new first energy storage battery can be determined from at least one energy storage battery so that the power demand of the first device can be met after the new first energy storage battery is charged.

[0067] First, it can be determined whether a second energy storage battery of the at least one energy storage battery can replace the first energy storage battery and supply power to the first device of use. In this case, a third charge amount of the second energy storage battery needs to be determined based on the trip duration, the charging power of the on-board charger, and the first power amount of the second energy storage battery. It also needs to be determined whether the sum of the third charge amount of the second energy storage battery and the remaining battery amount is equal to or greater than the predicted power consumption of the first device of use. If the sum of the third charge amount of the second energy storage battery and the remaining battery amount is equal to or greater than the predicted power consumption of the first device of use, the second energy storage battery is determined as the new first energy storage battery, and the third charge amount is determined as the new first energy storage battery.

[0068] Furthermore, the first energy storage battery can be replaced with a combination of a third energy storage battery among the at least one energy storage battery and the first energy storage battery to supply power to the first device. A condition must be met: the sum of the second charge amount and remaining battery charge of the new first energy storage battery is equal to or greater than the predicted power consumption of the first device. If this condition is met, the second charge amount of the new first energy storage battery is set as the first charge amount of the new first energy storage battery. In addition, since there are currently multiple first energy storage batteries, the number of simultaneously chargeable energy storage batteries must also be taken into account when calculating the second charge amount.

[0069] In an embodiment of the present application, the first charge amount of the first energy storage battery is determined based on the chargeable amount of the first energy storage battery and the predicted power consumption of the first device, thereby avoiding the first energy storage device being unable to meet the power demand of the first device due to charging problems.

[0070] The determination of the second charge amount will be described in detail below.

[0071] Specifically, in a feasible embodiment, determining the second charge amount of the first energy storage battery based on the trip duration, the charging power of the on-board charger, and the first power amount of the first energy storage battery includes the following: determining a fourth charge amount of the first energy storage battery based on the trip duration and the charging power of the on-board charger; if it is determined that the fourth charge amount is greater than the first difference, determining the first difference as the second charge amount; the first difference is the difference between the battery capacity and the remaining battery amount of the first energy storage battery; if it is determined that the fourth charge amount is less than or equal to the first difference, determining the fourth charge amount as the second charge amount.

[0072] The fourth charge amount is the maximum charge amount that the first energy storage battery can achieve, regardless of the battery capacity and remaining battery level of the first energy storage battery. If the fourth charge amount is greater than the difference between the battery capacity and remaining battery level of the first energy storage battery, it indicates that the first energy storage battery cannot be charged to the fourth charge amount. In this case, the difference between the battery capacity and remaining battery level of the first energy storage battery is determined as the second charge amount of the first energy storage battery. If the fourth charge amount is equal to or less than the difference between the battery capacity and remaining battery level of the first energy storage battery, it indicates that the first energy storage battery can be charged to the fourth charge amount. In this case, the fourth charge amount is determined as the second charge amount of the first energy storage battery.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present application, the second charge amount is determined by comparing the fourth charge amount with the first difference, thereby improving the accuracy of determining the second charge amount.

[0074] For example, refer to FIG. 3, which is a schematic diagram illustrating the configuration of an energy storage battery according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 3, the energy storage battery includes a first battery 400 and a second battery 410. The chargeable capacity 401 of the first battery 400 corresponds to a first difference. When the battery capacities of the first battery 400 and the second battery 410 are the same, if the remaining battery capacity 402 of the first battery 400 is smaller than the remaining battery capacity 411 of the second battery 410, and therefore the second amount of power corresponding to the first battery 400 is smaller than the predicted power consumption of the device using the first battery, it can be determined whether the second amount of power corresponding to the second battery 410 is smaller than the predicted power consumption of the device using the first battery.

[0075] Step S205: The controller controls the on-board charger to charge the first energy storage battery based on a first charge amount corresponding to the first energy storage battery.

[0076] The first energy storage battery may be one or more. When charging the first energy storage battery with the on-board charger, the number of energy storage batteries to be simultaneously charged needs to be determined based on the number of charging channels of the on-board charger.

[0077] In a further possible embodiment, controlling the on-board charger to charge the first energy storage battery based on a first charge amount corresponding to the first energy storage battery includes: when there are multiple destinations, controlling the on-board charger to charge a fourth energy storage battery based on a first charge amount corresponding to a fourth energy storage battery, the fourth energy storage battery corresponding to the first destination; when charging of the fourth energy storage battery is completed, controlling the on-board charger to charge a fifth energy storage battery based on a first charge amount corresponding to the fifth energy storage battery, the fifth energy storage battery corresponding to a second destination, the arrival time corresponding to the first destination is earlier than the arrival time corresponding to the second destination, and the fourth energy storage battery and the fifth energy storage battery constitute the first energy storage battery.

[0078] When there are multiple destinations, there are multiple first use devices, and as a result, there are multiple first energy storage batteries corresponding to the multiple first use devices. In this case, if the multiple first energy storage batteries cannot be charged simultaneously, the charging order of the multiple first energy storage batteries must be considered. Therefore, in this application, the arrival time order of each of the multiple destinations is taken into consideration, and charging of the fourth energy storage device corresponding to the destination with the earlier arrival time is arranged first, and after charging of the fourth energy storage battery is completed, charging of the fifth energy storage battery corresponding to the destination with the later arrival time is arranged. Furthermore, when considering the charging order, the number of charging channels of the on-board charger must also be taken into consideration, and the number of energy storage batteries that can be charged simultaneously is determined based on the number of charging channels.

[0079] For example, refer to Fig. 4, which is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a travel route according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Fig. 4, a travel route map is included. The travel route map includes one starting point and two destinations, for example, a starting point 501, a first destination 502, and a second destination 503. From the travel route map, the order of arrival time from the starting point 501 to the first destination 502 and the second destination 503 can be known.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present application, when there are multiple destinations, the energy storage device corresponding to the destination with the earliest arrival time is arranged to be charged first, thereby ensuring that the power supply demand of the energy storage battery used first is met first, and improving the overall charging efficiency of the energy storage battery.

[0081] For example, if the destination of the current trip is determined to be XX Beach based on the trip information, the application scene corresponding to the destination can be determined to include a water area and a sandy beach. If the outdoor equipment currently in the camper corresponding to the beach includes only fishing devices (e.g., a thermostatic fishing box and a trolling motor), the second application scene corresponding to the destination of the trip can be determined to include a water area, and the first device in use is the fishing device. In this case, the scene weather information related to the water area of ​​the current destination determined based on the water area may include temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc. The arrival time is determined based on the current trip, the usage duration corresponding to the first device in use is determined based on the current arrival time, and the unit power consumption of the first device in use is determined based on the scene weather information and the rated power of the first device in use. In this case, the usage duration corresponding to the first device in use and the unit power consumption of the first device in use can both be determined based on empirical values ​​or a prediction model.

[0082] The predicted power consumption of the first device of use is determined based on the duration of use and unit power consumption corresponding to the first device of use, and a first charge amount of the first energy storage battery corresponding to the first device of use is determined based on the trip information and the predicted power consumption of the first device of use. The camper van control system charges the first energy storage battery based on the first charge amount corresponding to the first energy storage battery. In this way, it is possible to ensure that the user's use of the first device of use is not affected by power shortages, and by rationally allocating the energy storage battery in the camper van control system, it is possible to improve the efficiency of allocation of the corresponding energy storage capacity of the control system and the energy utilization rate.

[0083] In this embodiment, the present application determines a corresponding first use device based on the current trip destination in the trip information, determines the predicted power consumption of the first use device based on the weather information in the trip information, then determines a first charge amount for a first energy storage battery corresponding to the first use device based on the trip information and the predicted power consumption of the first use device, and finally controls the on-board charger to charge the first energy storage battery based on the first charge amount of the first energy storage battery. In this way, the charging demand corresponding to the devices that may be used in the camper van is determined based on the trip information, and the energy storage batteries corresponding to the devices that may be used in the camper van can be automatically charged according to the charging demand. This ensures that the user's use of the first use device is not affected by power shortages, improves the efficiency of the control system's allocation of the corresponding energy storage capacity, improves the energy utilization rate of the energy storage capacity, and allows the control system to more intelligently charge the energy storage battery.
