Description

Battery swap station operation control method, device, computer equipment and storage medium

Technical field

This application relates to the field of battery swapping, and specifically relates to a battery swapping station operation control method, device, computer equipment, storage medium and computer program product.

Background technique

With the development of science and technology, electric vehicles, mainly electric vehicles, are increasingly used in people's daily lives, bringing great convenience to people's daily travel. Electric vehicles are powered by batteries. Due to the limitation of the electric energy stored in the battery, the distance that can be traveled on a single charge is limited. Therefore, battery swap stations that provide charging and swapping functions for electric vehicles have emerged.

During the operation of the battery swap station, operational failures often occur due to improper operation or the faults of the battery swap station equipment itself. At this time, you will need to wait for staff to perform maintenance, and the waiting time for battery replacement will be longer.

The above-mentioned power swap station operation control method can obtain the first operating parameters to detect whether each power swap station equipment in the power swap station has malfunctioned. When there is a faulty device, first control the restart of the faulty device through a restart command, and try to see whether the faulty device can be reset by restarting. The fault is eliminated. If based on the analysis of the second operating parameters of the faulty equipment after restarting, it is found that restarting can eliminate the fault, then you only need to continue to control the operation of the faulty equipment. If you get the result that restarting cannot eliminate the fault, then perform maintenance-related processing. Through the above solution, when the equipment in the power swap station fails, it does not simply enter the waiting state for maintenance, but attempts to restart to perform fault recovery. When a fault that can be recovered by restarting occurs, it can be directly restarted to recover from the fault and then put into battery swap operation.

At present, judging from the development of the market situation, the application of electric vehicles is becoming more and more widespread. In order to ensure that electric vehicles have strong endurance capabilities, during use of electric vehicles, it is often necessary to replace batteries that are exhausted or about to be exhausted, so as to provide batteries with sufficient power for electric vehicles. Based on this, places for charging and exchanging batteries for electric vehicles (i.e., battery swapping stations) emerged as the times require. During the operation of the battery swapping station, the electric vehicles that drive into the battery swapping station for battery swapping need to be moved to a designated area, that is, the battery swapping area, and the electric vehicles are lifted, battery removed, and battery installed through the battery swapping device. In this way, the battery in the electric vehicle that is exhausted or about to be exhausted can be replaced with a battery with sufficient battery to realize the battery replacement operation. The low-power batteries replaced by electric vehicles are stored in a designated location (that is, the battery compartment) for charging to ensure the recycling of the battery.

The inventor noticed that in current power swapping stations, due to the large number of related equipment involved, during actual operation, equipment in the power swapping station often malfunctions due to improper operation, aging of equipment, changes in the environment, etc. For faulty power swapping station equipment, current power swapping stations often shut down the faulty power swapping station equipment, notify maintenance personnel by sending an alarm signal, and wait for maintenance personnel to perform maintenance. If every time the equipment in the battery swapping station fails, it will be shut down and waited for maintenance personnel to perform maintenance, which will easily cause a lot of waiting time.

In order to alleviate the problem of long waiting time for battery swapping due to the failure of battery swapping station equipment during the operation of the battery swapping station, the inventor found that the fault types of battery swapping station equipment are not unique, and some relatively simple faults can be handled by restarting. The fault can be eliminated. During the operation of the power swap station, it is only necessary to obtain the first operating parameters of the power swap station equipment (including the station control equipment and the power swap station sub-equipment that is communicated with it) in real time through the station control equipment for analysis. In the case of faulty equipment, Issue a restart command to the faulty device for restart control. Then obtain the second operating parameters of the faulty device after restarting, and analyze whether the fault of the faulty device is eliminated by restarting. If the fault is eliminated by restarting, the faulty device can continue to operate; if the fault is not eliminated by restarting, maintenance-related processing is performed. Carry out maintenance operations on faulty equipment. Therefore, when a restart-recoverable fault occurs in the battery swap station equipment, there is no need to shut down the faulty equipment and wait for maintenance, effectively avoiding the waste of long waiting time.

The power swap station disclosed in the embodiment of the present application can be, but is not limited to, used as a power swap station for power-consuming devices such as vehicles, ships, or aircraft. Correspondingly, the battery swap station operation control method provided in this application can be, but is not limited to, used in battery swap stations for power-consuming devices such as vehicles, ships, or aircrafts. For the convenience of explanation, the following examples are all based on the battery swap station operation control application. Go to the vehicle battery swapping station as an example to illustrate.

Please refer to Figure 1 for the battery swap station operation control method provided in this application, including:

Step 101: Obtain the first operating parameters of the battery swap station equipment.

Specifically, the battery swap station equipment refers to all the equipment of the battery swap station that participates in the operation of the battery swap station, including station control equipment and each battery swap station sub-equipment. The station control equipment is a device that manages and controls the operation of the battery swap station; the sub-equipment of the battery swap station is used to realize battery swap vehicle management, vehicle battery swap operations, and battery replacement under the control of the station control equipment during the operation of the battery swap station. Devices with functions such as management and battery swap station operation monitoring, including but not limited to battery swap station display screens, gates, battery charging systems, palletizers, fire protection systems, and monitoring systems. Each sub-equipment of the power swap station communicates with the station control device. During the actual operation of the power swap station, the station control device can issue control instructions to each sub-device of the power swap station, and at the same time, it can also receive feedback signals from each sub-device of the power swap station. And receive the operating parameters generated by each sub-equipment of the battery swap station. The first operating parameters refer to the operating parameters generated during the normal operation of the battery swap station equipment, including communication parameters, operating status parameters, collection parameters, etc. During the operation of the battery swap station, that is, when each battery swap station equipment in the battery swap station is powered on and operating, the station control equipment will communicate with each battery swap station sub-equipment in real time to obtain the first operating parameters of each battery swap station sub-equipment, and The first operating parameter generated by the station control equipment itself.

Step 103: Analyze whether there is faulty equipment in the battery swap station equipment according to the first operating parameters.

Specifically, the faulty equipment is the power swap station equipment that has malfunctioned and cannot operate normally. It may be a sub-equipment of the power swap station or the station control device itself. After the station control equipment obtains the first operating parameters, it will perform a fault analysis based on the first operating parameters, thereby obtaining the analysis results of whether there is a faulty device in each battery swap station sub-equipment, or whether the station control equipment itself has failed. Whether at least one of the sub-equipments of the battery swap station fails, or the station control equipment itself fails, the station control equipment will obtain the detection result of a faulty device in the battery swap station equipment.

Step 105: If there is a faulty device, send a restart command to the faulty device.

Specifically, the restart command is used to control the restart of the faulty device. When the station control equipment obtains the analysis results of faulty equipment based on the received first operating parameter analysis, it does not directly shut down the faulty equipment and notify relevant staff for maintenance. Instead, it controls the restart of the faulty device by sending a restart command to the faulty device, and tries to see whether the fault of the current faulty device can be eliminated, that is, to achieve fault recovery.

It can be understood that depending on the type of faulty equipment, the way the station control equipment sends the restart command will also be different. When the faulty equipment is a sub-equipment of the battery replacement station, the station control equipment will issue the restart command through wired or wireless communication. to the corresponding battery swap station sub-equipment. When the faulty device is the station control device itself, the restart command is sent to the functional module of the station control device itself for start-stop management to control the restart of the station control device.

Step 107: After sending the restart command, if it is determined that the faulty device is not faulty based on the latest acquired second operating parameters, control the operation of the faulty device.

Specifically, the second operating parameter is the operating parameter that the failed sub-equipment of the battery swapping station feeds back to the station control device for the first time after the faulty equipment is restarted according to the restart command; or after the failed station control device is restarted according to the restart command, First generated running parameters. No matter what the situation is, after the restart of the faulty equipment is completed, the station control equipment will perform fault analysis based on the second operating parameters to determine whether the fault of the faulty equipment has been eliminated, or whether the faulty equipment has generated a new fault, etc. If according to the analysis of the second operating parameters, it is found that the previous fault of the faulty equipment has been eliminated, and the faulty equipment does not generate a new fault, and the detection result of the faulty equipment is obtained, then the station control equipment directly controls the faulty equipment to access the battery swap station and operate normally. Can.

It can be understood that the first operating parameters and the second operating parameters are essentially the same type of operating parameters, and the only difference lies in the acquisition timing and object of the station control equipment. The second operating parameters are the operating parameters that are sent or generated for the first time by the faulty equipment in the power swap station after restarting; and the first operating parameters are all operating parameters except the operating parameters that are sent or generated by the faulty equipment for the first time after restarting. , which can be the operating parameters of all battery swap station equipment before the faulty equipment is restarted, as well as the operating parameters that are not sent or generated for the first time after the faulty equipment is restarted.

Step 109: After sending the restart command, if it is determined that the faulty device is in a faulty state according to the second operating parameter, control and perform fault maintenance related processing.

Specifically, when the station control device sends a restart command to the faulty device to control the restart of the faulty device, and when the station control device performs fault analysis based on the operating parameters (that is, the second operating parameters) first sent or generated after the faulty device restarts, a fault may also occur. The device is still in a faulty state. Specifically, the original fault of the faulty device cannot be eliminated by restarting, or the faulty device can introduce new faults by restarting. If the station control equipment determines through fault analysis that the faulty equipment is still in a faulty state even if it is restarted, maintenance-related processing will be entered at this time, allowing relevant maintenance personnel to intervene to repair the faulty equipment.

In some embodiments, the power swap station equipment includes power swap station sub-devices; the first operating parameters of the power swap station equipment include: at least one of communication response information sent by the power swap station sub-devices and equipment operating status information; step 103 includes: if The communication response information from the sub-equipment of the battery swap station is not received, and the sub-equipment of the battery swap station is determined to be a faulty device.

Specifically, the communication response information is the response information returned to the communication device after the sub-equipment of the battery swapping station receives the communication information from the station control device during the communication process with the station control device. Depending on the specific type of battery swap station equipment, the method of fault analysis based on the first operating parameters will also be different. In this embodiment, the battery swap station equipment includes battery swap station sub-devices. In this case, the first operating parameter may be the communication response information fed back by the battery swap station sub-equipment to the station control device, and the representation itself sent by the battery swap station sub-equipment to the station control device. At least one of the device running status information of the running status.

There are three different analysis methods when the station control equipment performs fault analysis in combination with the first operating parameters. In this embodiment, when the first operating parameters include communication response information, it is judged whether the communication response information from the sub-equipment of the battery swap station is received. That is, analyze whether the first operating parameter received by the station control device carries communication response information. If it does not, it means that a fault has occurred in the sub-equipment of the battery swapping station at this time, and specifically it is a communication fault.

This solution performs fault analysis on the sub-equipment of the battery swapping station based on whether communication response information is received. The fault analysis can be achieved with a smaller amount of data and has the advantage of high convenience in fault analysis.

In some embodiments, step 103 includes: comparing the equipment operating status information with the preset standard operating status information corresponding to the sub-equipment of the power swap station, obtaining a comparison result, and determining whether the sub-equipment of the power swap station is a faulty device based on the comparison result.

Specifically, when the first operating parameter includes equipment operating status information and the faulty equipment is a sub-equipment of the power swap station, the operating status information is compared with the preset standard operating status information, and whether the sub-equipment of the power swap station fails is determined based on the comparison result. If the comparison result is that the operating status information meets the preset standard operating status information, it is considered that the sub-equipment of the battery swap station has not failed; if the comparison result is that the operating status information does not meet the preset standard operating status information, it is considered that the sub-equipment of the battery swap station has failed. . For example, in a more detailed embodiment, the temperature parameters, voltage parameters or current parameters in the first operating parameters of the battery swap station sub-equipment can be combined with the preset temperature standard threshold range, the preset voltage standard threshold range and The preset current standard threshold range is compared and analyzed. If it is within the corresponding threshold range, it is considered that a fault has not occurred. If it is outside the corresponding threshold range, it is considered that a fault has occurred.

The solution of this embodiment sets a preset standard operating state for each device's operating status information for fault detection. Fault detection can be realized through each device's operating status information, and has a high fault detection accuracy.

In some embodiments, step 103 includes: if the equipment operating status information includes equipment abnormal status information, determining that the sub-equipment of the battery swapping station is a faulty equipment.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the first operating parameter also includes equipment operating status information and the faulty equipment is a sub-equipment of the power swap station. At this time, the sub-equipment of the power swap station has a self-test function (for example, the battery stored in the battery charging system of the power swap station, etc.), It can detect whether it is faulty through its own operating parameters, and then send the abnormal status information of the equipment obtained through self-test together with the operating status information of other equipment to the station control equipment. The device operating status information generated and sent by the battery swap station sub-equipment during operation is parsed to analyze whether it carries device abnormal status information. If it does, it can also be considered that the battery swap station sub-equipment corresponding to the device operating status information has failed.

This solution realizes fault analysis through self-test of sub-equipment of the battery replacement station, which can effectively reduce the data processing volume of the station control equipment and improve the operating efficiency of the station control equipment.

In some embodiments, the power swap station equipment includes station control equipment; the first operating parameters of the power swap station equipment include: the self-test results obtained by the station control device performing equipment self-test and the station control equipment operating parameters of the station control device, the self-test results Including: whether the host software of the station control device responds; step 103 includes: if the self-check result shows that the host software of the station control device does not respond, determine that the station control device is a faulty device.

Optionally, the host software of the station control device is a software module in the station control device that is used to implement power replacement-related control. The station control equipment includes a host software module and a monitoring module. Through the monitoring module, the operation of the host software module can be monitored. At the same time, the first operating parameters sent to the station control equipment by each sub-equipment of the power swap station can be monitored. In the sub-station of the power swap station, When equipment or station control equipment fails, a restart command can be issued to control the restart of the sub-equipment of the battery replacement station or station control equipment for fault recovery.

In addition to detecting faults in the sub-equipment of the battery swapping station based on the first operating parameters, the station control equipment can also determine whether the host software is responding based on the self-test results of the station control equipment itself. If the self-test result is that the station control equipment The host software does not respond, that is, when the host software module receives the equipment operating parameters sent by the sub-equipment of the battery replacement station, there is no feedback response information, or the host software module does not respond to the signal sent by the monitoring module, that is, the station control The communication of the device is abnormal and a malfunction has occurred.

In some embodiments, step 103 includes: comparing operating parameters of the station control equipment with preset standard operating parameters corresponding to the station control equipment, obtaining a comparison result, and determining whether the station control equipment is a faulty equipment based on the comparison result.

Specifically, according to the solution of this embodiment, the station control equipment performs self-diagnosis and self-recovery operations of station control faults based on the operating parameters of the station control equipment generated by itself. When the first operating parameters are the station control equipment operating parameters, the station control equipment compares and analyzes the station control equipment operating parameters generated by itself with the preset standard operating parameters. If the station control equipment operating parameters meet the preset standard operating parameters, it is considered that The station control equipment has not failed; but when the operating parameters of the station control equipment do not meet the preset standard operating parameters, it is considered that the station control equipment has failed.

Referring to Figure 2, in some embodiments, step 105 includes step 202 and step 204.

Step 202: If there is a faulty device and the faulty device is associated with the power swapping device, detect whether there is a power swapping vehicle in the power swapping area corresponding to the associated power swapping device;

Step 204: If there is a battery swapping vehicle, after interrupting the battery swapping operation corresponding to the battery swapping device, a restart command is sent to the faulty device.

Specifically, the battery replacement device is a device that removes the vehicle's battery to be replaced and installs a battery with sufficient power in the vehicle. When the battery swapping device performs battery swapping on the vehicle, the battery swapping vehicle needs to be moved to a specific location (i.e., the battery swapping area) to perform battery removal and installation operations. Therefore, when performing restart control of battery swap station equipment, it is necessary to further analyze whether the currently faulty faulty equipment is associated with the battery swap device, and whether there is a battery swap vehicle in the battery swap area corresponding to the battery swap device. Finally, based on the judgment results, Realize restart control of faulty equipment.

In the solution of this embodiment, the power swap control device first detects whether the faulty equipment is associated with the power swap device. The faulty device is associated with the power swap device. That is, it is considered that the start and stop of the faulty device will have a direct impact on the vehicle's power swap operation; If the faulty equipment is not related to the power exchange device, it is considered that the start and stop of the faulty equipment will not affect the normal power exchange. It can be understood that the detection operation of whether the faulty equipment is associated with the power exchange device is not unique. In one embodiment, the station control device stores all the power exchange station sub-equipment types associated with the power exchange device. In this case, it only needs to be based on the current fault. By matching the equipment type of the equipment, the analysis results can be obtained to determine whether the faulty equipment is associated with the power exchange device. When the faulty device is a station control device, it is directly considered that the faulty device is associated with the power replacement device.

If it is detected that the faulty equipment is not associated with the power swapping device, the station control equipment will directly send a restart command to the faulty device and control the faulty device to restart directly. The vehicle's power swapping process can continue without being affected.

If it is detected that the faulty equipment is associated with the power swap device, it is necessary to further detect whether there is a power swap vehicle in the power swap area corresponding to the power swap device. At this time, the specific detection method of the battery-exchange vehicle is not unique. In one embodiment, it can be implemented by arranging corresponding detection devices (such as image sensors, infrared detection devices, ultrasonic detection devices, or radar detection devices, etc.) in the battery-exchange area. In another embodiment, it can also be obtained by analyzing the first operating parameter corresponding to the power exchange device among the received first operating parameters.

If there is a battery swap vehicle, it means that the restart of the faulty equipment will have an impact on the battery swap. In order to ensure the safety of the battery swap, the battery swap operation needs to be interrupted, and then the restart command is issued to achieve restart control of the faulty device. If there is no battery-swap vehicle, you only need to directly send a restart command to the faulty device to control the faulty device to restart.

Refer to Figure 3. In some embodiments, after interrupting the power exchange operation corresponding to the power exchange device, the method further includes: adding a record of the interrupted power exchange operation corresponding to the faulty device. Controlling the operation of the faulty equipment includes

steps

302 and 304.

Step 302: If there is an interrupted power replacement operation record corresponding to the faulty device, send a recovery operation instruction to the faulty device;

Step 304: If there is no interrupt power replacement operation record corresponding to the faulty device, control the faulty device to be in a waiting state.

Specifically, the recovery operation instruction is used to instruct the faulty device to resume an interrupted operation, such as a power replacement operation. When the station control device sends a restart command, the method of sending the restart command will also be different depending on the current battery swap operation state of the battery swap station. In the case where the restart command is sent after the power exchange operation is interrupted, in order to ensure that the restart is successful during fault recovery, the faulty equipment can enter the previous working state in time and continue the power exchange operation before the interruption. While power is being replaced, the station control equipment can add corresponding interrupt power replacement operation records.

If the fault of the faulty equipment is eliminated by restarting, the station control equipment can analyze whether there is a record of interrupted power swap operations, and if there is a record of interrupted power swap operations, control the faulty device to perform operations related to vehicle power swaps. The interruption of the power swap operation record was not detected, indicating that the faulty equipment is not related to the power swap device, or the faulty device is related to the power swap device, but there is no vehicle in the power swap area to swap power at this time, and the fault is directly controlled at this time Just start the equipment and wait for work, so that it can respond in time when there are work needs.

Referring to FIG. 4 , in some embodiments, step 105 includes step 402 , step 404 and step 406 .

Step 402: If there is a faulty equipment, detect whether there is a power swap vehicle in the power swap area corresponding to the power swap device;

Step 404, if there is no battery replacement vehicle, send a restart command to the faulty device;

Step 406: If there is a vehicle, perform restart control on the faulty device according to the first operating parameters.

Specifically, according to the solution of this embodiment, when performing restart control on a faulty device, it first detects whether there is a battery-swapping vehicle in the battery-swapping area corresponding to the battery-swapping device. The specific detection method is as shown in the above embodiment, and will not be described in detail here. . If there are no battery-swapping vehicles in the battery-swapping area, a restart command can be issued directly to control the restart of the faulty equipment. When there is a battery-swapping vehicle in the battery-swapping area, it is necessary to conduct a detailed analysis of the fault of the current faulty equipment based on the first operating parameters, and then implement restart control based on the analysis results.

According to the solution of the above embodiment, when there is a faulty equipment, it is directly detected whether there is a battery swapping vehicle in the battery swapping area. When there is no battery swapping vehicle in the battery swapping area, the faulty device only needs to be restarted directly. No need to It detects whether the current faulty equipment is related to the battery swap operation, effectively reducing the data processing volume, and quickly restarting the fault recovery operation when there is no battery swap vehicle in the battery swap area.

Referring to Figure 5, in some embodiments, restart control is performed on the faulty device according to the first operating parameter, including step 502, step 504 and step 506.

Step 502: Obtain the fault type of the faulty device according to the first operating parameter.

Step 504: If the fault type is a fault that does not affect the battery swap, after completing the battery swap on the battery swap vehicle, a restart command is sent to the faulty device.

Step 506: If the fault type is a fault affecting power replacement, the power replacement operation is interrupted and personnel evacuation prompt information is output.

Specifically, the fault type is used to represent the degree of correlation between the fault of the current faulty equipment and the power swap operation. If the current fault will affect the power swap operation, the fault type is a fault that affects the power swap operation; if the current fault will not affect the power swap operation, If there is an impact, the fault type is a fault that does not affect power replacement. Depending on the type of fault, the restart control operations implemented will also be different. When a fault that does not affect the battery swap occurs, the battery swap operation for the vehicle will continue. Only after the vehicle battery swap is completed, the faulty equipment will be restored. Restart. When a fault occurs that affects the power exchange, the power exchange operation will be interrupted and a personnel evacuation prompt message will be output to inform personnel to evacuate. In the solution of this embodiment, after the output is interrupted and the power exchange operation is performed, the station control equipment will not further restart the faulty equipment, but will notify the personnel to evacuate and wait for the maintenance personnel to perform maintenance.

It should be noted that in another embodiment, when the fault type is a fault affecting power exchange, after interrupting the power exchange operation and outputting a personnel evacuation prompt message, the station control device can also send a restart command to the faulty device to allow the faulty device to try to restart. Perform crash recovery.

Referring to Figure 6, in some embodiments, step 109 includes step 602.

Step 602: After sending the restart command, if it is determined that the faulty device is in a faulty state based on the second operating parameters obtained for the first time, control and perform fault maintenance related processing.

Optionally, when the station control device performs restart control on the faulty device, it can only send a restart command once. If the faulty device is still in a fault state under the control of this restart command, it will enter maintenance-related processing. The faulty state mentioned here can specifically mean that the faulty device fails to recover from the fault before the restart by restarting, or that a new fault is introduced after the faulty restart, both of which can be considered to be in a faulty state.

According to the technical solution of the above embodiment, when restarting a faulty device, only one restart command is sent to the faulty device. According to the second operating parameter received for the first time after the restart command, the faulty device is restarted and the fault recovery operation is performed. If If it is not restored, maintenance-related processing will be performed, which has high fault restart recovery detection efficiency.

Referring to FIG. 7 , in some embodiments, step 109 includes step 702 , step 704 and step 706 .

Step 702: After sending the restart command, obtain the second operating parameters within a preset time period;

Step 704: If the faulty device is determined to be in a faulty state according to the second operating parameters, repeatedly send the restart command;

Step 706: If a preset number of restart instructions are sent continuously, and based on the second operating parameters obtained within a preset time period after each restart instruction is sent, it is determined that the faulty equipment is in a fault state, and control is performed to perform troubleshooting-related processing.

Optionally, according to the solution of this embodiment, when the station control device performs restart control on the faulty device, it can send restart instructions multiple times until the number of times the restart instructions are sent reaches the preset number. During the time when the restart instructions are sent, If the faulty equipment in the segment is in a fault state, maintenance-related processing will be carried out. According to the solution of this embodiment, every time a restart is performed, fault analysis will be performed based on the second operating parameters of the faulty device after the restart to determine whether the fault of the faulty device has been restored after this restart, or whether a new fault has been introduced. If the fault is not recovered, or a new fault is introduced by restarting, control will continue with the next restart. What is mentioned here is that the faulty device is determined to be in a faulty state based on the second operating parameters. It can also mean that after multiple restarts, the faults before the first restart of the faulty device have not been restored, or that new faults have been introduced during subsequent restarts. failure.

It can be understood that the specific size of the preset number of times is not unique. It can be two, three, four, five or even more. During the actual operation of the power swap station, different settings or adjustments can be made based on the actual needs of the power swap station. .

In some embodiments, controlling execution of troubleshooting-related processing includes: sending a maintenance notification message to a maintenance personnel terminal through the cloud server.

Specifically, when restarting fails to cause the faulty equipment to operate normally, the station control device will send a maintenance notification message through the cloud server, allowing maintenance personnel to intervene for maintenance. This solution makes it easy for maintenance personnel to know in time, so that maintenance can be carried out in a timely manner and maintenance efficiency can be improved.

In some embodiments, the control performs troubleshooting-related processing, including: if the faulty device is a station control device, switching to a backup station control device.

Specifically, when the faulty device is a station control device, since the station control device communicates with other sub-devices of the power swap station, directly cutting off the station control device will inevitably lead to paralysis of the power swap station. Therefore, at this time, the backup station control device can be controlled through a switching operation. The device is connected and operates temporarily instead of the station control device. This solution switches to the backup station control equipment when the station control equipment fails and cannot be restored after restarting, ensuring that the power swap station can continue to operate and improving the operational stability of the power swap station.

In some embodiments, the control performs troubleshooting-related processing, including: if the faulty device is a sub-equipment of the power swap station, cutting off the connection with the sub-device of the power swap station.

Specifically, when the faulty equipment is a sub-equipment of a battery replacement station, in order to avoid the impact of the faulty equipment on the operation of other station control equipment and to facilitate maintenance personnel to start maintenance operations in time when reaching the faulty equipment, the station control equipment can be cut off from the faulty equipment. The connection of the sub-equipment of the battery swap station. This ensures that the battery swap station can still operate safely when there is faulty equipment, and improves the operational reliability of the battery swap station.

It should be noted that the specific type of maintenance personnel terminal is not unique. It can be a mobile phone, a tablet, or a wearable device such as a bracelet, as long as it can communicate with the cloud server and receive maintenance notification messages from the station control equipment. .

In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solutions of the present application, the present application will be explained below with reference to the most detailed embodiments. During the operation of the power swap station, the station control equipment communicates with each sub-equipment of the power swap station, and obtains the first operating parameters of each sub-equipment of the power swap station in real time to conduct fault analysis of the sub-equipment of the power swap station.

When the received first operating parameter of at least one battery swap station sub-equipment does not carry communication response information, it is considered that at least one battery swap station sub-equipment has failed. At this time, the station control device will detect whether there is a battery swap vehicle in the battery swap area. .

If the detection finds that there is no battery-swap vehicle, the station control device directly sends a restart command to the faulty device, and then receives the second operating parameters sent after the faulty device restarts, and analyzes whether the faulty device still has a fault. If the second operating parameter carries communication response information and no new fault is detected, it is considered that the faulty device has restarted and recovered, and at this time it is enough to control the operation of the faulty device. When the second operating parameter still does not carry communication response information, or a new type of fault is detected, the faulty equipment is considered to be still in a faulty state. At this time, a maintenance notification message is sent to the maintenance personnel terminal through the cloud server and waits for maintenance. .

If the detection finds that there is a battery swapping vehicle, the fault type analysis of the faulty equipment needs to be combined with the first operating parameters. If the analysis shows that the current fault does not affect the battery swapping, continue the battery swapping operation of the battery swapping vehicle, and send it again after the battery swapping is completed. The restart command controls the restart of the faulty equipment; if it is analyzed that the current fault affects the power replacement, the power replacement operation will be interrupted, and an evacuation prompt message will be output to remind relevant personnel to evacuate and wait for maintenance personnel to perform maintenance. After the faulty device is restarted, the station control device also receives the second operating parameters sent after the faulty device is restarted, and analyzes whether the faulty device still has a fault. If the second operating parameter carries communication response information and no new fault is detected, it is considered that the faulty device has restarted and recovered, and at this time it is enough to control the operation of the faulty device. When the second operating parameter still does not carry communication response information, or a new type of fault is detected, the faulty equipment is considered to be still in a faulty state. At this time, a maintenance notification message is sent to the maintenance personnel terminal through the cloud server and waits for maintenance. .

When the received first operating parameters of at least one battery swap station sub-equipment are analyzed and the device operating status information obtained does not meet the preset standard operating status information, or the device carries abnormal status information, it can be considered that the corresponding battery swap station sub-equipment has failed. . When a fault is analyzed through these two methods, the station control equipment also first detects whether there is a battery-swapping vehicle in the battery-swapping area, and based on the detection results implements restart and maintenance control similar to when the above-mentioned first operating parameter does not carry communication response information.

When the faulty device is a station control device, if the station control device self-test finds that its host software is unresponsive, or the operating parameters of the station control device do not meet the preset standard operating parameters, it means that the station control device has failed. At this time, the station control equipment will detect whether there is a battery swapping vehicle in the battery swapping area.

If the detection finds that there is no battery-swapping vehicle, the station control equipment will directly start itself once, and then obtain the second operating parameters generated after the start, and analyze whether the station control equipment still has a fault, that is, whether the host software responds, or whether there is a Station control equipment operating parameters that do not meet the preset standard operating parameters. If there is no fault, it is considered that the station control equipment has restarted and the fault has recovered. At this time, the station control equipment can be controlled to run. When the station control equipment is in a fault state according to the second operating parameter analysis, the backup station control equipment will be switched to maintain the operation of the battery swap station, and a maintenance notification message will be sent to the maintenance personnel terminal through the cloud server, waiting for maintenance.

If the inspection finds that there is a battery swapping vehicle, the fault type of the faulty equipment will be further analyzed based on the first operating parameters. If the analysis shows that the current fault does not affect the battery swapping, the battery swapping operation of the battery swapping vehicle will continue. After the battery swapping is completed, Send another restart command to control the station control device itself to restart. If it is analyzed that the current fault affects the power swap, the power swap operation will be directly interrupted, the backup station control equipment will be switched to maintain the operation of the power swap station, and a maintenance notification message will be sent to the maintenance personnel terminal through the cloud server, waiting for maintenance.

After the faulty equipment is restarted, it is also analyzed whether the station control equipment still has a fault based on the second operating parameters generated after the restart. If the previous fault of the station control equipment is recovered and no new faults are introduced, the station control equipment can keep running; if the previous fault of the station control equipment is not recovered or new faults are introduced, switch the backup station control equipment to access and maintain the replacement. The power station is running and a maintenance notification message is sent to the maintenance personnel terminal through the cloud server, waiting for maintenance.

The above-mentioned station control equipment, storage media and computer program products can obtain the first operating parameters to detect whether the equipment of each power swap station in the power swap station has malfunctioned. When there is a faulty device, first control the restart of the faulty device through a restart command and try to see whether it can Eliminate the fault of the faulty device by restarting it. If based on the analysis of the second operating parameters of the faulty equipment after restarting, it is found that restarting can eliminate the fault, then you only need to continue to control the operation of the faulty equipment. If you get the result that restarting cannot eliminate the fault, then perform maintenance-related processing. Through the above solution, when the equipment in the power swap station fails, it does not simply enter the waiting state for maintenance, but attempts to restart to perform fault recovery. When a fault that can be recovered by restarting occurs, it can be directly restarted to recover from the fault and then put into battery swap operation. Avoid waiting for maintenance of battery replacement station equipment, resulting in a long waiting time.
