Problem

The service life of vehicle batteries in new energy vehicles is influenced due to unmonitored off-station charging behaviors, as battery swapping service providers lack control over the charging process.

Innovation Solution

An off-station charging control method and system that acquires and uploads use state information of vehicle batteries to a battery swapping server, generating and downloading charging control information to manage off-station charging behaviors.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If off-station self-charging behavior is not monitored, then vehicle operation freedom is maintained, but battery service life is reduced due to uncontrolled charging processes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery service lifeVSAvoidcharging monitoring system
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the vehicle terminal collects battery use state information and transmits it to the server, which then generates charging control information and sends it back to the vehicle terminal. This closed-loop feedback system enables the server to monitor and control off-station charging behavior, ensuring battery service life is protected while maintaining vehicle operation freedom.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the battery management system and the charging control system. The server receives battery use state information, processes it to generate appropriate charging control information, and transmits it back to control the charging process. This intermediary approach centralizes control logic, protecting battery service life without requiring complex local monitoring hardware in the vehicle.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If centralized battery management is implemented, then charging process control is improved, but real-time monitoring capability deteriorates due to information transmission delays

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecharging process controlVSAvoidinformation transmission speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by having the server generate charging control information in advance based on battery use state information received from the vehicle terminal. The control information is prepared and transmitted before the actual charging process begins, ensuring that the charging process can be controlled according to pre-calculated parameters optimized for battery life, without requiring real-time communication during charging.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Duration of action of stationary object

If off-station charging control is implemented, then battery full life cycle is controlled, but system complexity increases due to additional communication protocols

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebattery full life cycleVSAvoidcommunication system
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements universality by designing the server to perform multiple functions: collecting battery use state information, generating charging control information, and managing communication with vehicle terminals. The same communication interface and protocol are used for both information collection and control information transmission, reducing the need for separate dedicated communication channels and minimizing system complexity while enabling full life cycle control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
