The embodiment of the invention provides a vehicle management method.

In one embodiment, the vehicle management method is applied to a parking charging system that includes a vehicle and a parking management system.

In one embodiment, the parking management system includes a management server, and in this embodiment, the parking management system may be understood as an overall management system of a parking lot, where the parking lot is provided with a plurality of parking spaces, and the parking management system includes charging piles disposed at each parking space of the parking lot.

In this embodiment, the charging pile supporting the automatic connection function, specifically, the charging pile includes a charging gun, and the charging gun can be connected with a charging interface of a vehicle after moving to a specified position through a driving component such as a mechanical arm, so as to charge the vehicle.

In one embodiment, the vehicle comprises a communication module, a vehicle-mounted controller and an identification lamp set, wherein the communication module is used for being in communication connection with the parking management system, and the vehicle-mounted controller is used for controlling the identification lamp set to display identification signals according to charging identification information received by the communication module.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in one embodiment, the vehicle management method specifically includes the steps of:

step 101: and the vehicle sends a parking charging request to the management server.

After the vehicle enters the parking lot, a parking charge request is sent to the management server. For example, after the user opens the vehicle to the parking lot, the parking charge request may be sent by means of a code scanning, a manual input, an automatic recognition of a management device at the entrance of the parking lot, etc. to require entry into the parking lot.

In some embodiments, only the vehicle may be controlled to enter the parking lot for parking, in other embodiments, the vehicle may be controlled to enter the parking lot for parking charging, and for example, the user may set the charging time or the charging amount as needed to charge the vehicle after parking.

Step 102: and the management server generates parking position information and charging identification information corresponding to the vehicle according to the parking charging request.

After receiving the parking charging request, the management server allocates available parking spaces and charging piles for the vehicle according to the states and distribution conditions of the available parking spaces in the parking lot.

After the parking space and the charging pile are allocated, corresponding parking position information is further generated, wherein the parking position information can comprise map information of a parking lot and navigation information from an entrance of the parking lot to the parking space, so that a vehicle can reach the allocated parking space according to the parking position information.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises charging identification information for identifying and verifying the identity of the vehicle.

In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the user to know the allocation situation of the parking space and the charging post, the request result may also be sent to the user, for example, pushed to the mobile phone of the user, so as to display the request result to the user.

Step 103: the management server transmits the parking position information and the charging identification information to the vehicle.

After the parking position information and the charge identification information are generated, the parking position information and the charge identification information are transmitted to the vehicle. The management server also needs to send a charging request to the corresponding charging stake.

In one of the embodiments, the vehicle may be towed to a designated parking space by an unmanned cart, however, this is a high hardware requirement for the parking lot, as well as a relatively high subsequent maintenance and use of the ride.

In a preferred embodiment, the vehicle has an autonomous mode, and when implemented, the vehicle travels in an autonomous mode in a park-free manner to a target location corresponding to the park location information. In this way, the settings of various auxiliary devices in the parking lot can be reduced.

Step 104: and the vehicle displays a charging identification signal according to the charging identification information.

After the vehicle reaches the target location, the charging stake first identifies the vehicle's parking in order to determine that the vehicle is parked in the assigned parking space. The management server can push the parking result of the vehicle to the user, and the vehicle displays the charging identification signal according to the received charging identification information.

In some embodiments, the relevant information of the vehicle may be obtained from the internet of vehicles server at the cloud based on the internet of vehicles information in case of good data network signals, and the relevant information of the vehicle may be obtained based on the pile end information of the charging pile in case of bad data network signals.

As shown in fig. 3A, in one embodiment, the vehicle includes a charging interface 301, and the vehicle further includes an identification light set 302 through which a charging identification signal is displayed. In one embodiment, the charging interface 301 and the identification light set 302 of the vehicle are disposed on the same side of the vehicle, and may be disposed in front of, behind, left of, or right of the vehicle for identification purposes.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, in an exemplary embodiment, the charging light set includes four indicator lights, and in operation, each indicator light has two states of on and off, so that by controlling the states of the four indicator lights, 16 different charging identification signals (to the power of 4 of 2) can be provided.

As another example, each signal pulse is 0.5 seconds every 1 second as a signal period, so that each indicator light has 4 (2 times 2) states in one signal period, and 256 (4 times 4) different charge identification signals can be provided. In consideration of the limited number of vehicles parked simultaneously in a conventional parking lot, the provided 256 different charging identification signals can meet the vehicle identification requirements of the parking lot capable of accommodating thousands of vehicles.

As another example, every 2 seconds is taken as a signal period, and each signal pulse is 0.5 seconds, so that each indicator light has 16 (fourth power of 2) states in one signal period, and can provide 65536 (fourth power of 16) different charge identification signals. The parking identification requirements of various large-scale parking lots can be met.

As shown in fig. 4, in one embodiment, each indicator light is provided with three modes of operation, normally on, off for one second, on for half second, off for half second, and further combined to form 6 signal states a through E, so that 1296 (the 4 th power of 6) different charge identification signals can be provided. The recognition requirement of a general parking lot can be met.

In implementation, the charging identification signals and the quantity thereof which are needed to be used can be configured according to the needs so as to meet the vehicle identification requirements of parking lots of different scales.

Step 105: the management server collects and verifies the charging identification signal by using a matching sensor of a target position corresponding to the parking position information.

In the implementation, in the parking process of the vehicle, the existing data communication modes such as 4G, 5G and the like, local area network communication such as WLAN (wireless local area network) and the like, and short-distance communication modes such as Bluetooth and the like can be utilized to realize the first authentication and identification of the identity of the vehicle.

It should be understood that the vehicle may have an abnormal situation such as a parking position error, a network fluctuation, etc., and the charging identification signal provided by the identification lamp set in this embodiment is used for performing secondary identification of the identity of the vehicle.

It should be understood that in an unmanned charging parking lot, it is required to control the charging gun to be automatically plugged into the charging interface of the vehicle, this process is generally performed by relying on image recognition, specifically, it is required to collect and recognize the position of the charging interface through the image collecting device so as to perform positioning of the charging interface, and then control the charging gun to move to a designated position and be connected with the charging interface.

In this embodiment, the identification light set of the vehicle is disposed on the side where the charging interface is located, so that the charging interface and the identification signal for charging can be identified by using the same image acquisition device as the matching sensor, without increasing additional equipment cost.

It can be understood that, in order to realize automatic grafting of the charging gun, the image acquisition device such as the camera as the matching sensor is necessary equipment on the charging pile, and the technical scheme of the embodiment does not need to add additional equipment, and the existing matching sensor is directly utilized to identify the charging identification signal.

In some embodiments, this step 105 specifically includes:

identifying a location identification feature on the vehicle;

identifying an identification area where the identification lamp group is located according to the position identification characteristic;

In this embodiment, one or more of a charge indicator lamp, a wheel arch lamp, a turn lamp, and a door opening key lamp of the vehicle may be used as the position recognition feature.

The location identification feature in this embodiment is used to assist in determining the location of the identification area.

For example, in the exemplary illustration of the vehicle shown in fig. 4, the identification light group is located at the rear of the rear wheel arch of the vehicle, and if the rear wheel arch light of the vehicle is identified, the identification range of the matching sensor may be further adjusted to the rear of the vehicle to identify the charge identification signal.

As another example, if the identification light group is in front of the turn light located at the rear of the vehicle, if the rear turn light of the vehicle is identified, the identification range of the matching sensor may be further adjusted to the front of the vehicle to identify the charge identification signal.

It should be understood that, in order to improve the accuracy of identifying the identification area where the identification light set is located, at least one position identification feature of the vehicle may be identified, so as to determine the current position of the image acquisition device, and then, the position where the identification light set is located is determined according to the relative position of the position identification feature and the identification light set, so as to adjust the image acquisition angle of the image acquisition device, and the image of the identification area is acquired as an identification image by using the image acquisition device.

After the identification image is acquired, the charging identification signal contained in the identification image is further identified through an image identification algorithm, and then the charging identification signal is compared with charging identification information corresponding to the vehicle, so that whether the detected charging identification signal is consistent with the charging identification signal contained in the charging identification information is confirmed.

And if the detected charging identification signal is consistent with the charging identification signal contained in the charging identification information, the verification is considered to be passed, otherwise, the verification is considered to be failed.

In some embodiments, after step 105, the method further comprises:

In this embodiment, the vehicle may be communicatively connected to the management server, so as to send a control signal to the vehicle through the management server, to control the opening of the cover plate of the charging interface of the vehicle.

In other embodiments, a display screen or an LED lamp group may be disposed at a formulated position of a parking space to provide a charging request signal, as shown in fig. 3B and 3C, in this embodiment, an LED (light emitting diode) lamp group is taken as an example, where the LED lamp group includes a plurality of lamp beads, and the LED lamp group may be disposed at different positions such as a front position of a vehicle or a rear position of the vehicle. And after the vehicle detects the charging request image, controlling the cover plate of the charging interface to be opened.

If the verification is not passed, the specific lamp beads in the LED lamp group can be controlled to be lightened so as to form an abnormal prompt image, and an abnormal prompt signal is sent to the vehicle.

Step 106: and the management server controls the charging gun to be connected with the vehicle to charge the vehicle under the condition that the charging identification signal passes the verification.

The charging state of the vehicle can be pushed to terminal equipment such as a mobile phone of a user, so that the user can know the charging state of the vehicle before the vehicle acts as a front charging state.

After the charging is completed, the charging gun is removed and the cover plate of the charging interface of the vehicle is closed.

The embodiment of the invention provides the secondary authentication for the identity of the vehicle, and improves the parking and charging management effects for the vehicle.

In the technical scheme of the embodiment, after the vehicle enters the garage, under the condition that communication connection does not exist between the vehicle and the management server, the secondary identification of the identity of the vehicle can be performed through the charging identification signal provided by the vehicle, and meanwhile, the vehicle can also automatically open the cover plate of the charging interface to complete the charging control operation. In this way, the technical scheme of the embodiment reduces the influence of factors such as poor network on automatic parking of the vehicle and the like in the scenes such as underground parking lots and the like. Meanwhile, the original image acquisition device on the vehicle and the original image acquisition device of the charging pile can be fully utilized, and the cost is relatively low.

The embodiment of the invention also provides a vehicle management method applied to the vehicle and a vehicle management method applied to the parking management system, wherein the vehicle management method can refer to the parts of the vehicle and the server implementation of the parking management system in the embodiment respectively, and the description is omitted here.
