The invention discloses an intelligent
electric vehicle charger based on a
CAN bus and an automatic switching charging method.The intelligent
electric vehicle charger comprises a charger body, the charger body comprises an MCU, a power input end and a charging interface end, the power input end and the charging interface end are connected to the MCU, the charging interface end is provided with a charging power terminal and a CP / PP terminal, a CAN
transceiver chip is additionally arranged for the CP / PP terminal, and the CAN
transceiver chip is connected with the MCU. The
CAN bus communication module is configured to be used for performing
CAN bus-based communication with a vehicle; the CAN
transceiver chip is connected with the MCU; the charger body is equipped with an automatic switching mechanism, and when it is detected that the
connected vehicle supports advanced communication, the CP / PP terminal serves as a channel for CAN
signal transmission to establish a CAN
bus communication connection with the vehicle supporting advanced communication, otherwise, a conventional CP / PP
control mode is maintained. Therefore, CAN
bus communication is realized by utilizing the CP / PP terminal, additional physical connection is not needed, the
system complexity is reduced, automatic switching is realized, and the intelligent level is improved.
