Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of a charging method according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied to a cloud server, that is, executed by the cloud server.

Step 101, receiving a one-user multi-charging request sent by a terminal.

And step 102, after the one-user multi-charging request is received, setting a virtual account of the current account.

When a user wants to charge a plurality of electric vehicles by using the same account, a switch for turning on one user for charging more can be arranged on the terminal. After the terminal obtains the operation of the user, a one-user multi-charging request is sent to the cloud server, wherein the one-user multi-charging request comprises account information. And after receiving the one-user multi-charging request, the cloud server sets a virtual account of the current account, wherein the virtual account is used for storing the pre-deducted amount of the current account.

And 103, after receiving the charging request, locking the pre-deduction amount of the current account.

A user can control a plurality of two electric automobiles to be charged through the same terminal or different terminals. When a user controls to charge a plurality of two electric vehicles, the charging request can be sent to the cloud server through the terminal at the same time, and the charging request can also be sent to the cloud server at different times. And after the cloud server receives a plurality of charging requests at the same time, processing the charging requests by adopting a queuing mechanism. The charging requests sent by the terminals all comprise account information.

In implementation, the cloud server deducts a corresponding amount of money for each vehicle in advance before charging the electric vehicle. Specifically, after receiving the charging request, the cloud server may deposit the prepaid money into the virtual account and lock the prepaid money. The cloud server can lock a preset pre-deduction amount for each automobile after receiving the charging request. For example, after receiving a charging request of account a for electric vehicle a1, the cloud server locks a element from the balance of account a; if the cloud server receives the charging request of the account A for the electric automobile A2 again, the a-element is locked from the balance of the account A, namely 2 a-element is locked from the balance of the account A in total. And for the locked pre-deduction amount, the cloud server deducts from the account balance, and releases the account balance after the charging is finished and the settlement is finished.

And 104, sending a charging instruction to the charging pile.

After the pre-deduction amount is locked, the cloud server can calculate the authorized electric quantity corresponding to the current pre-deduction amount, sends a charging instruction comprising the authorized electric quantity to the corresponding charging pile, and the electric quantity output by the charging pile for the electric automobile currently does not exceed the authorized electric quantity.

And 105, receiving the battery data sent by the charging pile.

After receiving a charging instruction for charging the electric automobile, the charging pile starts charging, and sends battery data to the cloud server to readjust the pre-deduction amount. The battery data may include one or more of SOC (State of Charge), battery type, rated capacity of the vehicle power storage battery system, rated total voltage of the vehicle dynamic battery system, maximum allowable charging voltage of the single power storage battery, nominal total energy of the power storage battery, maximum allowable charging total voltage, and maximum allowable temperature.

And 106, adjusting the pre-deduction amount based on the battery data.

The step of the cloud server adjusting the withholding amount based on the battery data may include: determining the electric quantity required by fully charging the current battery based on the battery data; determining a required charge based on the determined required amount of power; and adding the required fee on the basis of the locked withholding amount to obtain the adjusted withholding amount. And the cloud server stores the adjusted withholding fee into the virtual account and locks the withholding fee.

The pre-deducted amount of the same account is stored in the corresponding virtual account, and the cloud server deducts from the balance of the current account according to the total amount in the virtual account, so that the pre-deducted amount in the virtual account is locked. Through setting up virtual account, conveniently manage a plurality of deductions in advance and the amount of consumption that same account produced.

And step 107, releasing the surplus withholding amount after charging is finished and the fee is deducted.

After the electric automobile finishes charging, the cloud server sends a charging stopping instruction to the charging pile. After the charging pile stops charging, charging stopping information is sent to the cloud server, the cloud service area carries out expense settlement, redundant pre-deduction amount in the virtual account is released, and normal charging of subsequent vehicles is guaranteed.
