Automatic restart methods and systems for abnormal battery slots in battery energy stations

Abstract

A method and system for automatically restarting an abnormal battery compartment in a battery power station. First, a remote server determines whether a battery power station has a specific error code. When the battery power station has the specific error code, the remote server transmits a specific command to the battery power station via a network, causing the battery power station to suspend a battery swapping service and initiate a restart operation for the battery compartment that generated the specific error code. After the battery compartment has restarted, the battery power station resumes the battery swapping service.

Claims

1. A method for automatically restarting an abnormal battery compartment in a battery power station, applicable to a remote server, comprising the following steps: the remote server determines whether a battery power station has a specific error code; when the battery power station has the specific error code, the remote server transmits a specific instruction to the battery power station via a network, causing the battery power station to suspend a battery swapping service, and determines whether the battery compartment containing the specific error code has a battery; when the battery compartment contains the battery and the specific error code occurs, the battery power station performs a restart operation on the battery compartment; and after the battery compartment performs the restart operation, the battery power station resumes the battery swapping service.

2. The automatic restart method for an abnormal battery compartment of a battery power station as described in claim 1 further includes, in accordance with the specific instruction, the battery power station performing the restart operation on the battery in the battery compartment.

3. The automatic restart method for an abnormal battery compartment of a battery power station as described in claim 1 further includes the following steps: the battery power station determines whether the battery compartment can perform a charging operation or a data communication operation on the battery after the restart operation; when the battery compartment can perform the charging operation or the data communication operation on the battery after the restart operation, the battery power station removes the specific error code corresponding to the battery compartment; and when the battery compartment still cannot perform the charging operation or the data communication operation on the battery after the restart operation, the battery power station maintains the specific error code corresponding to the battery compartment and notifies the remote server through the network.

4. The automatic restart method for an abnormal battery compartment of a battery power station as described in claim 3 further includes, when the battery compartment is still unable to perform the charging operation or the data communication operation for the battery after the restart operation, the remote server delays for a specific time and then retransmits the specific instruction to the battery power station through the network after the specific time, so as to request the battery power station to perform the restart operation for the battery compartment that has the specific error code.

5. The automatic restart method for abnormal battery slots of the battery power station as described in claim 1 further includes, when multiple battery slots in the battery power station have the specific error code, the battery power station requests each of the battery slots with the specific error code to perform the restart operation.

6. A method for automatically restarting an abnormal battery slot in a battery power station, applicable to a remote server, comprising the following steps: the remote server obtains a current time and determines whether the current time is a preset time; when the current time is the preset time, the remote server determines whether a battery power station has a specific error code; when the battery power station has the specific error code, the remote server transmits a specific instruction to the battery power station through a network, causing the battery power station to suspend a battery swapping service and causing the battery power station to perform a restart operation for the battery slot that has the specific error code; and after the battery slot performs the restart operation, the battery power station resumes the battery swapping service.

7. A method for automatically restarting an abnormal battery slot in a battery power station, applicable to a remote server, comprising the following steps: the remote server determines whether a battery power station has a specific error code; when the battery power station has the specific error code, the remote server determines whether the battery power station is located in an unpopulated area based on location information corresponding to the battery power station; when the battery power station is located in the unpopulated area, the remote server transmits a specific instruction to the battery power station via a network, causing the battery power station to suspend a battery swapping service and causing the battery power station to perform a restart operation for the battery slot that has the specific error code; and after the battery slot performs the restart operation, the battery power station resumes the battery swapping service.

8. The method for automatically restarting an abnormal battery compartment of a battery power station as described in claim 7 further includes the following steps: determining whether there is at least one candidate battery power station within a preset distance of the battery power station based on the location information set for the corresponding battery power station; and when there is a candidate battery power station within the preset distance of the battery power station, the remote server transmits the specific instruction to the battery power station through the network.

9. An automatic restart system for an abnormal battery compartment in a battery power station, comprising at least: A battery power station for charging multiple batteries and providing a battery swapping service for these batteries; A remote server connects to the battery power station via a network to determine whether the battery power station has a specific error code. When the battery power station has the specific error code, a specific instruction is transmitted to the battery power station via the network to cause the battery power station to suspend a battery swapping service. The server also determines whether a battery is stored in the battery slot where the specific error code occurred. If the battery is stored in the battery slot and the specific error code occurs, the battery power station performs a restart operation on the battery slot. After the battery slot performs the restart operation, the battery power station resumes the battery swapping service.
