Description

Vehicle intelligent charging planning methods, devices, electronic equipment, media and vehicles Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of charging planning technology, and in particular to a vehicle intelligent charging planning method, device, electronic equipment, medium and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Long-distance driving of new energy vehicles often presents range anxiety, which is typically addressed by planning charging stops along the way. However, current charging planning technologies are relatively rigid and cannot be adapted to the vehicle's actual operating conditions in real time. Furthermore, the availability of charging and battery swapping services is still limited, with charging stations being unevenly distributed and in limited numbers. Charging itself also takes time, and waiting in line for charging stations can further waste time and energy. All of these factors contribute to charging anxiety for users driving electric vehicles. In addition, the lack of real-time information synchronization makes it difficult for owners to make timely changes to their charging plans, resulting in inadequate charging planning.

[0003] Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address at least one of the technical problems existing in the aforementioned related technologies, embodiments of this application propose a vehicle intelligent charging planning method, device, electronic device, medium, and vehicle, which can realize intelligent charging planning, meet users' charging needs, and solve users' charging anxiety.

[0005] On the one hand, embodiments of this application propose a vehicle intelligent charging planning method, the method comprising the following steps:

[0006] Obtain vehicle battery status information, vehicle current location, and vehicle navigation planned route;

[0007] Obtain charging station preference information; based on the vehicle's current location, the vehicle's navigation route, and the charging station preference information, search for multiple target charging stations along the vehicle's navigation route and sort them by distance to obtain a corresponding charging station list.

[0008] In response to the marking operation of the target charging station, each of the target charging stations selected by the marking is determined as a waypoint and each waypoint is marked.

[0009] Obtain the charging station status information of each target charging station in the charging station list, and combine it with the vehicle battery status information, the vehicle's current location, the vehicle's navigation planned route, and each waypoint to generate an intelligent charging planning route.

[0010] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0011] Add waypoints to a number of selected target reference points along the vehicle navigation planning route, and mark each of the target reference points as a waypoint;

[0012] Determine the path points to be deleted from the path points and delete them.

[0013] In some embodiments, the charging station status information of the target charging station includes at least the charging station location, charging station type, usage status of each charging pile in the charging station, and charging capacity of each charging pile in the charging station.

[0014] In some embodiments, the step of obtaining the charging station status information of each target charging station in the charging station list, and generating a smart charging planning route by combining the vehicle battery status information, the vehicle's current location, the vehicle's navigation planning route, and each waypoint specifically includes:

[0015] The vehicle navigation route is updated based on each of the waypoints, the current location of the vehicle, and the selected destination in the vehicle navigation route.

[0016] Based on the vehicle's battery status information, the vehicle's current location, and the updated vehicle navigation route, determine whether the vehicle can reach the destination.

[0017] When it is determined that the vehicle can reach the destination, the charging station status information of each destination target charging station is obtained. Based on the charging station status information of each destination target charging station, the optimal charging station is selected from the destination target charging stations. Based on the charging station status information of the optimal charging station and the vehicle navigation planning route, a first charging planning route corresponding to the optimal charging station is generated. The destination target charging stations are each of the target charging stations in the area near the destination.

[0018] When it is determined that the vehicle cannot reach the destination, several preferred charging stations are determined from the route points based on the vehicle's battery status information and the charging station status information corresponding to each route point. Based on the vehicle's current location and the charging station status information of each preferred charging station, a second charging planning route corresponding to each preferred charging station is generated.

[0019] In some embodiments, the step of determining whether the vehicle can reach the destination based on the vehicle battery status information and the updated vehicle navigation route specifically includes:

[0020] Based on the vehicle's current location and the updated vehicle navigation route, the distance the vehicle needs to travel is determined.

[0021] Based on the vehicle's battery status information, determine the vehicle's remaining driving range.

[0022] When the vehicle's remaining battery range is greater than the vehicle's remaining driving distance and the distance difference is greater than a given threshold, it is determined that the vehicle can reach the destination; otherwise, it is determined that the vehicle cannot reach the destination.

[0023] In some embodiments, the step of obtaining charging station status information of each destination charging station when it is determined that the vehicle can reach the destination, selecting the optimal charging station from the destination charging stations based on the charging station status information of each destination charging station, and generating a first charging planning route corresponding to the optimal charging station based on the charging station status information of the optimal charging station and the vehicle navigation planning route, specifically includes:

[0024] Obtain the location of the destination, and determine each destination target charging station within a given distance range based on the location of the destination;

[0025] Based on the charging station status information of each destination target charging station, the optimal charging station is selected from the destination target charging stations through automatic system evaluation or user selection. Based on the charging station status information of the optimal charging station and the vehicle navigation planning route, a charging route is planned to generate the first charging planning route.

[0026] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0027] When the vehicle's battery status information shows that the vehicle's battery level is less than a given battery threshold, a battery warning is issued. Based on the vehicle's current location and the charging station status information of each target charging station, the nearest target charging station is determined from multiple target charging stations. Based on the vehicle's current location and the location of the nearest target charging station, a charging route is generated.

[0028] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0029] When the number of newly added waypoints exceeds the given threshold, the route refresh mechanism is triggered. Based on the intelligent charging plan route and the newly added waypoints, the route is updated to obtain the updated intelligent charging plan route.

[0031] The first module is used to obtain vehicle battery status information, vehicle current location, and vehicle navigation planned route;

[0032] The second module is used to obtain charging station preference information. Based on the current location of the vehicle, the vehicle navigation planned route and the charging station preference information, it searches for multiple target charging stations along the vehicle navigation planned route and sorts them by distance to obtain a corresponding charging station list.

[0033] The third module is used to respond to the marking operation of the target charging station, determine each of the target charging stations selected by marking as a waypoint and mark each of the waypoints;

[0034] The fourth module is used to obtain the charging station status information of each target charging station in the charging station list, and generate an intelligent charging planning route by combining the vehicle's battery status information, the vehicle's current location, the vehicle's navigation planning route, and each waypoint.

[0035] On the other hand, embodiments of this application propose an electronic device, which includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores a computer program, and the processor executes the computer program to implement the aforementioned intelligent vehicle charging planning method.

[0036] On the other hand, embodiments of this application propose a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the aforementioned intelligent vehicle charging planning method.

[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0050] It should be noted that although functional modules are divided in the device schematic diagram and a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than the module division in the device or the order in the flowchart. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and the aforementioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0051] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing embodiments of this application only and is not intended to limit this application.

[0052] Long-distance driving of new energy vehicles often presents range anxiety, which is typically addressed by planning charging stops along the way. However, current charging planning technologies are relatively rigid and cannot be adapted to the vehicle's actual operating conditions in real time. Furthermore, the availability of charging and battery swapping services is still limited, with charging stations being unevenly distributed and in limited numbers. Charging itself also takes time, and waiting in line for charging stations can further waste time and energy. All of these factors contribute to charging anxiety for users driving electric vehicles. In addition, the lack of real-time information synchronization makes it difficult for owners to make timely changes to their charging plans, resulting in inadequate charging planning.

[0053] Based on this, embodiments of this application propose a vehicle intelligent charging planning method, device, electronic device, medium, and vehicle, which can realize intelligent charging planning, meet users' charging needs, and solve users' charging anxiety. This method can cover various charging planning scenarios, such as before navigation, during navigation route calculation, after navigation starts, and low battery charging, comprehensively meeting users' charging needs and solving charging anxiety under different charging planning scenarios.

[0054] Referring to Figure 1, which is an optional flowchart of a vehicle intelligent charging planning method provided in an embodiment of this application, the method may include, but is not limited to, steps S101 to S104:

[0055] Step S101: Obtain vehicle battery status information, vehicle current location, and vehicle navigation planned route;

[0056] Step S102: Obtain charging station preference information. Based on the vehicle's current location, the vehicle's navigation route, and the charging station preference information, search for multiple target charging stations along the vehicle's navigation route and sort them by distance to obtain the corresponding charging station list.

[0057] Step S103: In response to the marking operation of the target charging station, each target charging station selected by marking is determined as a waypoint and each waypoint is marked.

[0058] Step S104: Obtain the charging station status information of each target charging station in the charging station list, and generate an intelligent charging planning route by combining the vehicle's battery status information, the vehicle's current location, the vehicle's navigation planning route, and each waypoint.

[0059] In step S102 of some embodiments, the user enters charging station preference information into the vehicle system, including charging station type preference, charging station power preference and charging station usage status preference, such as the charging pile idle rate being greater than 70% and the charging pile voltage being greater than X volts. The specific value of X can be set by the user according to their actual needs.

[0060] By acquiring charging station preference information and combining it with the vehicle's current location and the vehicle's navigation route, the system searches for charging stations along the route. Optionally, it searches for several target charging stations within a radius of Y kilometers along the vehicle's navigation route that match the charging station preferences, centered on the vehicle's current location. Based on the vehicle's current location and the locations of each target charging station, it calculates the real-time distance between each target charging station and the vehicle's current location, sorts the target charging stations according to the real-time distance, and generates a charging station list. In the charging station list, various labels can be added to the target charging stations, such as: the charging station with the shortest current arrival time or the charging station with the closest current distance. The value of Y can be set according to actual application needs and is not limited here.

[0061] For example, referring to Figure 2, with the vehicle's current location G as the center, several target charging stations within a 3-kilometer radius along the vehicle's navigation planning route that meet the charging station preferences are searched. Target charging stations A to E are obtained through the search. After sorting by distance, a charging station list {target charging station E, target charging station A, target charging station B, target charging station C, and target charging station D} is obtained. Target charging station E is the closest target charging station, and so on.

[0062] Referring to Figure 3, which is an optional schematic diagram of the charging station list in an embodiment of this application, the list includes target charging station E, target charging station A, target charging station B, target charging station C, and target charging station D arranged in sequence. Target charging station E is labeled as the nearest charging station, and target charging station A is labeled as the charging station with the shortest arrival time. Each target charging station A has a corresponding charging station icon. When a user clicks on the corresponding charging station icon of each target charging station in the charging station list, they can view the usage status information of each target charging station.

[0063] In step S103 of some embodiments, a waypoint addition function is provided. Users can perform a marking operation on each target charging station, determine each target charging station selected by marking as a waypoint, and mark each waypoint. This allows the vehicle navigation route to be intelligently planned based on the waypoints, generating a corresponding intelligent charging route and solving the user's charging anxiety problem.

[0064] In step S104 of some embodiments, the charging station status information of the target charging station may include, but is not limited to, the location of the charging station, the type of the charging station, the usage status of each charging pile in the charging station, and the charging capacity of each charging pile in the charging station. For example, the usage status of the charging pile includes whether the charging pile has malfunctioned, the online / offline status of the charging pile, and whether the charging pile is idle or in use. The charging capacity of the charging pile includes information such as the charging voltage and maximum power of the charging pile.

[0065] In some embodiments, referring to FIG4, which is an optional flowchart of step S104 in an embodiment of the present application, step S104 may include, but is not limited to, steps S201 to S204:

[0066] Step S201: Update the vehicle navigation route based on each waypoint, the vehicle's current location, and the selected destination in the vehicle navigation route.

[0067] Step S202: Based on the vehicle's battery status information, the vehicle's current location, and the updated vehicle navigation route, determine whether the vehicle can reach its destination.

[0068] Step S203: When it is determined that the vehicle can reach the destination, obtain the charging station status information of each destination target charging station, select the optimal charging station from each destination target charging station based on the charging station status information of each destination target charging station, and generate the first charging planning route corresponding to the optimal charging station based on the charging station status information of the optimal charging station and the vehicle navigation planning route. Here, the destination target charging station is each target charging station in the area near the destination.

[0069] Step S204: When it is determined that the vehicle cannot reach the final destination, based on the vehicle's battery status information and the charging station status information corresponding to each route point, several preferred charging stations are determined from each route point. Based on the vehicle's current location and the charging station status information of each preferred charging station, a second charging planning route corresponding to each preferred charging station is generated.

[0070] In step S202 of some embodiments, the vehicle's battery status information, current location, and updated navigation route are combined to determine whether the vehicle can reach its destination. This avoids situations where the vehicle cannot reach its destination due to changes in battery level or other reasons, and also cannot find a charging station in time to charge, thus preventing charging anxiety.

[0071] In step S204 of some embodiments, when it is determined that the vehicle cannot reach the final destination based on the updated vehicle navigation route at the current battery level, the system automatically evaluates and ranks the target charging stations set as waypoints according to their charging station status information to obtain a charging station evaluation list. Based on a preset ranking threshold, each target charging station ranked within the ranking threshold in the charging station evaluation list is determined as a preferred charging station.

[0072] In some embodiments, referring to FIG5, which is an optional flowchart of step S202 in an embodiment of the present application, step S202 may include, but is not limited to, steps S301 to S303:

[0073] Step S301: Determine the distance the vehicle needs to travel based on the vehicle's current location and the updated vehicle navigation route.

[0074] Step S302: Determine the vehicle's remaining driving range based on the vehicle's battery status information;

[0075] Step S303: When the vehicle's remaining battery range is greater than the vehicle's remaining driving distance and the distance difference is greater than a given threshold, it is determined that the vehicle can reach the destination; otherwise, it is determined that the vehicle cannot reach the destination.

[0076] In steps S301 to S303 of some embodiments, the vehicle's remaining driving range is determined based on the vehicle's battery status information. The judgment is made based on the vehicle's remaining driving distance and the vehicle's remaining driving range. When it is determined that the vehicle cannot reach the destination, an unreachable warning is issued, and the user is prompted to update the intelligent charging route planning. The prompt message is in the form of: "The original destination is at risk of being unreachable due to the current battery level. The best charging route has been planned for you. Do you want to update?"

[0077] In some embodiments, referring to FIG6, which is an optional flowchart of step S203 in an embodiment of the present application, step S203 may include, but is not limited to, steps S401 to S402:

[0078] Step S401: Obtain the location of the destination; based on the location of the destination, determine each destination target charging station within a given distance range.

[0079] Step S402: Based on the charging station status information of each destination target charging station, the optimal charging station is selected from each destination target charging station through automatic system evaluation or user selection. Based on the charging station status information of the optimal charging station and combined with the vehicle navigation planning route, a charging route is planned to generate the first charging planning route.

[0080] In steps S401 to S402 of some embodiments, when it is determined that the vehicle is at its current battery level, it can reach the destination based on the updated vehicle navigation planning route. The remaining battery level after reaching the destination is calculated, the remaining battery mileage is determined based on the remaining battery level, and the remaining battery mileage is used as a distance threshold. Within the distance threshold, a target charging station near the destination is selected as the new destination, and the first charging planning route is generated as described above.

[0081] For example, assuming the distance threshold is set to 5km, when it is determined that the vehicle can reach the destination, all target charging stations within 5km of the destination are selected and identified as the destination target charging stations. Based on the charging station status information of each destination target charging station, the optimal charging station is selected from the destination target charging stations through automatic system evaluation or user selection. Then, the charging route is planned by combining the location information of the optimal charging station with the vehicle navigation planning route, and the first charging planning route is generated.

[0082] Referring to Figure 7, which is an optional schematic diagram of generating the first charging planning route in an embodiment of this application, route 1 is the vehicle navigation planning route, O is the current position of the vehicle, and L is the destination. Assuming that the above distance threshold is 3km, the destination target charging stations F to J are filtered within this distance threshold. Through automatic evaluation by the system or user selection, the destination target charging station H is determined as the optimal charging station. Based on the location information of the optimal charging station, the charging route is planned to generate route 2, which is the above-mentioned first charging planning route.

[0083] In some embodiments, referring to FIG8, which is another optional flowchart of a vehicle intelligent charging planning method provided in this application embodiment, the above-mentioned vehicle intelligent charging planning method may further include steps S501 to S504:

[0084] Step S501: Add waypoints to several selected target reference points along the vehicle navigation planning route, and mark each target reference point as a waypoint.

[0085] Step S502: Determine the path points to be deleted from the path points and delete them.

[0086] Step S503: When the vehicle power status information shows that the vehicle power is less than the given power threshold, a power warning prompt is issued. Based on the vehicle's current location and the charging station status information of each target charging station, the nearest target charging station is determined from multiple target charging stations. Based on the vehicle's current location and the location of the nearest target charging station, a charging planning route is generated.

[0087] Step S504: When the number of newly added waypoints exceeds the given addition threshold, the route refresh mechanism is triggered. The route is updated based on the smart charging planned route and the newly added waypoints to obtain the updated smart charging planned route.

[0088] In steps S501 and S502 of some embodiments, other landmarks or buildings (such as the aforementioned target references) displayed on the vehicle navigation map along the planned route can be added as waypoints, and a waypoint deletion function is provided, allowing users to delete the corresponding waypoints according to their own needs.

[0089] In step S503 of some embodiments, when the vehicle power status information shows that the vehicle power is less than a given power threshold, a low power warning is issued, and the nearest target charging station that meets the charging conditions is selected as the nearest target charging station. Then, a charging route is generated based on the nearest target charging station and the vehicle's current location.

[0090] Optionally, the battery threshold can be set to 20%. When the vehicle battery status information shows that the vehicle battery level is less than 20% of the total capacity, a charging route is generated.

[0091] In step S504 of some embodiments, when the number of newly added waypoints exceeds a given addition threshold, the route is automatically updated, and the route is planned in real time according to the user's waypoint selection, so that the user can pass through as many waypoints as possible on the current vehicle navigation planned route. For example, the addition threshold can be set to 10, and its specific value can be set according to actual needs, which is not limited here.

[0092] Referring to Figure 9, which is an optional structural schematic diagram of a vehicle intelligent charging planning device provided in an embodiment of this application, the device can implement the above-described vehicle intelligent charging planning method, and the device may include, but is not limited to, the following:

[0093] The first module is used to obtain vehicle battery status information, vehicle current location, and vehicle navigation planned route;

[0094] The second module is used to obtain charging station preference information. Based on the vehicle's current location, the vehicle's navigation route, and the charging station preference information, it searches for multiple target charging stations along the vehicle's navigation route and sorts them by distance to obtain a corresponding list of charging stations.

[0095] The third module is used to respond to the marking operation of the target charging station, to determine each target charging station selected by marking as a waypoint and to mark each waypoint;
