Example two

Based on the same inventive concept as the embodiment, the embodiment provides a charge and discharge control method applied to the charge and discharge pile 1, as shown in fig. 3, the method includes the following steps:

s310, sending a discharging handshake signal to a vehicle connected with the charging and discharging pile, wherein the discharging handshake signal is used for inquiring whether the vehicle supports a discharging function;

the charge-discharge pile 1 of the present embodiment may include: power supply equipment and rifle head. The gun head is used for being inserted into a charging and discharging interface (such as an electric automobile) of a charging and discharging vehicle 2 to charge and discharge. And the power supply equipment is connected with the gun head through a circuit structure and is used for realizing the charge and discharge functions together with the gun head.

When the gun head is inserted into the charging and discharging interface of the vehicle 2, the vehicle-mounted charger controller 4 of the vehicle 2 will disconnect the normally open switch S2 in the control guide circuit, and at this time, the vehicle 2 and the charging and discharging pile 1 enter a communication stage.

Specifically, when the gun head is inserted into a charge-discharge interface of the vehicle 2, the charge-discharge pile 1 sends a discharge handshake signal (sent through the CP end) to the vehicle 2, and the discharge handshake signal is used for inquiring whether the vehicle 2 supports a discharge function. Wherein the discharge handshake signal includes two parameters: frequency and duty cycle; the discharging handshake signals can be distinguished from other types of signals by assigning a specific value to the frequency/duty cycle of the CP side signal. For example, the frequency of the discharge handshake signals may be 0.5 Khz.

S311, if a confirmation support signal returned by the vehicle based on the discharge handshake signal is received, a discharge inquiry signal is sent to the vehicle; the discharging inquiry signal carries current value information of the first maximum allowable discharging current of the charging and discharging pile;

if the vehicle 2 supports the discharging function, the vehicle 2 returns a confirmation support signal to the charging/discharging pile 1, and for example, if the vehicle 2 supports the discharging function, the normally open switch S2 is controlled to be closed and opened after a certain time. In this way, the charging and discharging pile 1 can detect whether the vehicle 2 confirms the support of the discharging function by detecting the state change of the CP terminal signal, and the vehicle 2 completes the handshake.

As an implementation manner, when the charging and discharging pile 1 receives a confirmation support signal returned by the vehicle 2 based on the discharging handshake signal, the charging and discharging pile 1 enters a charging and discharging mode selection stage, and an information prompt bar for pushing selection information to a user through a human-computer interface, where the selection information includes: selecting a charging mode and selecting a discharging mode; when a user clicks 'select discharge mode', the charge-discharge pile 1 receives a discharge instruction sent by the user, and at the moment, the charge-discharge pile 1 sends a discharge inquiry signal to the vehicle 2; the discharging inquiry signal carries current value information of the first maximum allowable discharging current of the charging and discharging pile 1. The discharge interrogation signal is transmitted through the CP terminal, and the frequency of the discharge interrogation signal may be 2 Khz.

As an alternative embodiment, a discharge inquiry signal is sent to the vehicle 2; the discharging inquiry signal carries current value information of the first maximum allowable discharging current of the charging and discharging pile 1, and the current value information comprises the following steps:

the discharging inquiry signal is transmitted to the vehicle 2 through the CP terminal, wherein a first preset correspondence exists between a duty ratio of the discharging inquiry signal and a first maximum allowable discharging current magnitude. This first preset correspondence relationship is stored in advance in the vehicle 2 and the charge-discharge pile 1.

If the vehicle 2 does not support the discharging function, no data is sent to the charging and discharging pile 1, and when the charging and discharging pile 1 does not receive a confirmation support signal returned by the vehicle 2 within a preset waiting time, an information prompt column of a charging mode is pushed to a user through a human-computer interface.

And S312, if the discharge confirmation signal returned by the vehicle based on the discharge inquiry signal is determined to be received, the discharging operation is executed.

When the vehicle 2 receives the discharging inquiry signal, if the vehicle 2 can perform the discharging operation at this time, the discharging confirmation signal is returned to the charging and discharging pile 1, and then the charging and discharging pile 1 receives the discharging confirmation signal returned by the vehicle 2 based on the discharging inquiry signal, and performs the discharging operation including turning on the discharging channel and the like. Wherein, it is confirmed that the discharge signal is sent to the charge-discharge pile 1 when the vehicle 2 meets the discharge condition, and the discharge condition includes: the discharge current is not greater than the first maximum allowable discharge current.

As an alternative embodiment, before performing the discharging operation on the basis of sending the first maximum allowable current, the method further includes:

acquiring the closing time of a normally open switch of the vehicle 2;

determining a second maximum allowable discharge current of the vehicle 2 according to the closing period; a second preset corresponding relation exists between the closing time and the second maximum allowable discharging current;

then, the discharge conditions further include: the discharge current is not greater than the second maximum allowable discharge current.

Here, a second preset correspondence between the closing time period and the second maximum allowable discharge current magnitude is stored in the mapping table in advance, such as: the closing time length is 1s and can correspond to 30A; a closing duration of 2s may correspond to 40A. The corresponding second maximum discharge current may be determined by querying the mapping table.

It should be noted that, prior to discharging, the vehicle 2 may compare the first maximum allowable discharge current with its own second maximum allowable discharge current to determine an appropriate discharge current. For example, if the first maximum allowable discharge current is 30A and the second maximum allowable discharge current is 20A, the vehicle 2 determines that the appropriate discharge current is less than or equal to 20A. Subsequently, the charging and discharging pile 1 controls the first contactor switch K1 and the second contactor switch K2 to attract, and the vehicle 2 starts to discharge.

When the vehicle 2 confirms the discharging operation, the normally open switch S2 is closed, and then as an alternative embodiment, the determining that the confirmed discharging signal returned by the vehicle based on the discharging inquiry signal is received includes:

judging whether the CP end signal changes from a first state value to a second state value; the first state value is used for indicating the stop of discharging, and the second state value is used for indicating the start of discharging;

if yes, it is determined that a discharge confirmation signal returned by the vehicle 2 based on the discharge inquiry signal is received.

Here, before the normally open switch S2 is closed, the first state value of the CP side signal may be 9V; when the normally open switch S2 is closed, the second state value may be 6V.

If the vehicle 2 confirms that the discharging operation is not possible at this time, the normally open switch S2 is kept open, and the CP-side signal is always the first state value. And if the charging and discharging pile 1 does not monitor that the CP end signal changes from the first state value to the second state value within the preset time, determining that the vehicle 2 does not perform the discharging operation at the moment.

If the vehicle 2 fails or the user wants to stop discharging during the discharging process, as an alternative embodiment, after the discharging operation is performed, the method further includes:

and if the discharging stopping signal is determined to be received, controlling the discharging to be finished.

If the discharge is stopped due to the failure of the vehicle 2, determining that the discharge stop signal is received may include:

monitoring whether the CP terminal signal changes from the second state value to the first state value or not in the discharging process;

and if so, determining that the discharge stopping signal is received.

If the user wants to stop discharging, determining that the discharging stop signal is received may include:

judging whether a discharging stopping instruction sent by a user is received;

EXAMPLE III

Based on the same inventive concept as the embodiment, the present embodiment provides a charge and discharge control method applied to a vehicle 2, as shown in fig. 4, the method comprising the steps of:

s410, receiving a discharging handshake signal sent by a charging and discharging pile 1, wherein the discharging handshake signal is used for inquiring whether the vehicle supports a discharging function;

when the gun head is inserted into the charging and discharging interface of the vehicle 2, the vehicle-mounted charger controller 4 of the vehicle 2 will disconnect the normally open switch S2 in the control guide circuit, and at this time, the vehicle 2 and the charging and discharging pile 1 enter a communication stage.

Specifically, when the gun head is inserted into a charge-discharge interface of the vehicle 2, the charge-discharge pile 1 sends a discharge handshake signal (sent through the CP end) to the vehicle 2, so that the vehicle 2 receives the discharge handshake signal sent by the charge-discharge pile 1, and the discharge handshake signal is used for inquiring whether the vehicle 2 supports a discharge function. The discharging handshake signals can be distinguished from other types of signals by assigning a specific value to the frequency/duty cycle of the CP side signal. For example, the frequency of the discharge handshake signals may be 0.5 Khz.

S411, returning a confirmation support signal to the charge and discharge pile based on the discharge handshake signal;

if the vehicle 2 supports the discharging function, the vehicle 2 returns a confirmation support signal to the charging and discharging pile 1, and the charging and discharging pile 1 and the vehicle 2 complete the handshake.

S412, receiving a discharge inquiry signal returned by the charge-discharge pile based on the confirmation support signal, where the discharge inquiry signal carries current value information of a first maximum allowable discharge current of the charge-discharge pile 1;

and after the charging and discharging pile 1 receives the confirmation support signal returned by the vehicle 2, the charging and discharging pile 1 enters a charging and discharging mode selection stage. The charging and discharging pile 1 can push an information prompt bar of selection information to a user through a human-computer interface, and the selection information comprises: selecting a charging mode and selecting a discharging mode; when a user clicks 'select discharge mode', the charge-discharge pile 1 receives a discharge instruction sent by the user, and at the moment, the charge-discharge pile 1 sends a discharge inquiry signal to the vehicle 2; the vehicle 2 receives a discharge inquiry signal returned by the charge-discharge pile 1 based on the confirmation support signal, and the discharge inquiry signal carries the current value information of the first maximum allowable discharge current of the charge-discharge pile 1. The discharge interrogation signal is a CP signal, and the frequency of the discharge interrogation signal may be 2 Khz.

The specific implementation process of the charging and discharging pile 1 sending the discharging inquiry signal to the vehicle 2 is described in detail in the second embodiment, and therefore is not described herein again.

As an optional embodiment, if the vehicle 2 does not support the discharging function, no data is sent to the charging and discharging pile 1, and when the charging and discharging pile 1 does not receive a confirmation support signal returned by the vehicle 2 within a preset waiting time, an information prompt column of a "charging mode" is pushed to a user through a human-computer interface.

And S413, returning a discharge confirmation signal to the charge and discharge pile based on the discharge inquiry signal.

When the vehicle 2 receives the inquiry signal, if the vehicle 2 can perform the discharging operation at this time, a discharge confirmation signal is returned to the charge and discharge pile 1 based on the discharge inquiry signal.

As an alternative embodiment, after returning the discharge confirmation signal to the charge-discharge pile 1 based on the discharge inquiry signal, the method includes:

controlling the normally open switch S2 to close so that the CP terminal signal changes from a first state value to a second state value; the first state value is used for indicating stopping of discharging, and the second state value is used for indicating starting of discharging.

Here, before the normally open switch S2 is closed, the first state value of the CP side signal may be 9V; when the normally open switch S2 is closed, the second state value may be 6V.

When the charging and discharging pile 1 receives a discharge confirmation signal returned by the vehicle 2 based on the discharge inquiry signal, the discharging operation is executed. Specifically, the first contactor switch K1 and the second contactor switch K2 are controlled to be closed, and the vehicle 2 starts to discharge.

As an alternative example, if the vehicle 2 confirms that the discharging operation is not performed at this time, the normally open switch S2 is kept open, and the CP terminal signal is always in the first state value. And if the charging and discharging pile 1 does not monitor that the CP end signal changes from the first state value to the second state value within the preset time, determining that the vehicle 2 does not perform the discharging operation at the moment.

During the discharging process, if the vehicle 2 has a fault and stops discharging, the vehicle 2 controls the normally open switch S2 to be opened, and the method further includes:

controlling the normally open switch to be switched off so as to enable the CP end signal to change from the second state value to the first state value; the first state value is used for indicating stopping of discharging, and the second state value is used for indicating starting of discharging.

When the charging and discharging pile 1 monitors that the CP end signal changes from the second state value to the first state value, the discharging stopping signal is determined to be received.

When the charging and discharging pile 1 receives the discharging stop signal, the first contactor switch K1 and the second contactor switch K2 are controlled to be turned off, and the discharging of the vehicle 2 is finished.

According to the charge and discharge control method provided by the embodiment, when the vehicle 2 needs to discharge, the charge and discharge pile 1 can be communicated and interacted, when the charge and discharge pile 1 sends a discharge inquiry signal to the vehicle 2, the discharge inquiry signal can carry current value information of the first maximum allowable discharge current of the charge and discharge pile 1, and through the design of an interaction mechanism between the charge and discharge pile 1 and the vehicle 2 in the discharge process, the vehicle 2 can feed back electric energy to a power grid under the condition of meeting safety conditions, and the utilization efficiency of the stored energy of the electric vehicle 2 is improved.

Example four

Based on the same inventive concept as the second embodiment, the present embodiment provides a charging and discharging pile 1, as shown in fig. 5, the charging and discharging pile 1 includes:

the first sending unit 51 is configured to send a discharging handshake signal to the vehicle 2 connected to the charging and discharging pile 1, where the discharging handshake signal is used to inquire whether the vehicle 2 supports a discharging function;

a second transmitting unit 52, configured to transmit a discharge inquiry signal to the vehicle 2 if receiving a confirmation support signal returned by the vehicle 2 based on the discharge handshake signal; the discharging inquiry signal carries current value information of the first maximum allowable discharging current of the charging and discharging pile 1;

a determination unit 53 for performing a discharging operation if it is determined that a discharge confirmation signal returned by the vehicle 2 based on the discharge inquiry signal is received; wherein, it is confirmed that the discharge signal is sent to the charge-discharge pile 1 when the vehicle 2 meets the discharge condition, and the discharge condition includes: the discharge current is not greater than the first maximum allowable discharge current.

When the gun head is inserted into the charging and discharging interface of the vehicle 2, the vehicle-mounted charger controller 4 of the vehicle 2 will disconnect the normally open switch S2 in the control guide circuit, and at this time, the vehicle 2 and the charging and discharging pile 1 enter a communication stage.

Specifically, when the gun head is inserted into the charge and discharge interface of the vehicle 2, the first transmitting unit 51 transmits a discharge handshake signal (transmitted through the CP terminal) to the vehicle 2, where the discharge handshake signal is used to inquire whether the vehicle 2 supports the discharge function. Wherein the discharge handshake signal includes two parameters: frequency and duty cycle; the discharging handshake signals can be distinguished from other types of signals by assigning a specific value to the frequency/duty cycle of the CP side signal.

If the vehicle 2 supports the discharging function, the normally open switch S2 is controlled to be closed, and is opened after being closed for a certain period of time. Thus, the charge-discharge pile 1 and the vehicle 2 complete the handshake.

After the charging and discharging pile 1 and the vehicle 2 complete the handshake, if the vehicle 2 supports the discharging function, the vehicle 2 returns a confirmation support signal to the charging and discharging pile 1. Wherein, it is confirmed that the discharge signal is sent to the charge-discharge pile 1 when the vehicle 2 meets the discharge condition, and the discharge condition includes: the discharge current is not greater than the first maximum allowable discharge current.

As an optional embodiment, when the charge-discharge pile 1 receives a confirmation support signal returned by the vehicle 2 based on the discharge handshake signal, the charge-discharge pile 1 enters a charge-discharge mode selection stage, and an information prompt bar for pushing selection information to a user through a human-computer interface, where the selection information includes: selecting a charging mode and selecting a discharging mode; when the user clicks the 'select discharge mode', the charge-discharge pile 1 receives a discharge instruction sent by the user, and at this time, the second sending unit 52 sends a discharge inquiry signal to the vehicle 2; the discharging inquiry signal carries current value information of the first maximum allowable discharging current of the charging and discharging pile 1. The discharge interrogation signal is transmitted through the CP terminal, and the frequency of the discharge interrogation signal may be 2 Khz.

As an alternative embodiment, the second transmitting unit 52 transmits a discharge inquiry signal to the vehicle 2; the discharging inquiry signal carries current value information of the first maximum allowable discharging current of the charging and discharging pile 1, and the current value information comprises the following steps:

the discharging inquiry signal is transmitted to the vehicle 2 through the CP terminal, wherein a first preset correspondence exists between a duty ratio of the discharging inquiry signal and a first maximum allowable discharging current magnitude.

In this way, the vehicle 2 also acquires the first maximum allowable discharge current of the charge-discharge pile 1.

As an optional embodiment, if the vehicle 2 does not support the discharging function, no data is sent to the charging and discharging pile 1, and when the charging and discharging pile 1 does not receive a confirmation support signal returned by the vehicle 2 within a preset waiting time, an information prompt column of a "charging mode" is pushed to a user through a human-computer interface.

When the vehicle 2 receives the discharging inquiry signal, if the vehicle 2 can perform the discharging operation at this time, the discharging confirmation signal is returned to the charging and discharging pile 1, and the determination unit 53 receives the discharging confirmation signal returned by the vehicle 2 based on the discharging inquiry signal, and performs the discharging operation. Wherein, it is confirmed that the discharge signal is sent to the charge-discharge pile 1 when the vehicle 2 meets the discharge condition, and the discharge condition includes: the discharge current is not greater than the first maximum allowable discharge current.

As an alternative embodiment, after sending the discharging handshake signal to the vehicle 2, the determining unit 53:

acquiring the closing time of a normally open switch of the vehicle 2;

determining a second maximum allowable discharge current of the vehicle 2 according to the closing period; a second preset corresponding relation exists between the closing time and the second maximum allowable discharging current;

then, the discharge conditions further include: the discharge current is not greater than the second maximum allowable discharge current.

Here, a second preset correspondence between the closing time period and the second maximum allowable discharge current magnitude is stored in the mapping table in advance, such as: the closing time length is 1s and can correspond to 30A; a closing duration of 2s may correspond to 40A.

For example, if the closing time is 1s, the corresponding second maximum discharge current may be determined to be 30A by looking up the mapping table.

It should be noted that, prior to discharging, the vehicle 2 may compare the first maximum allowable discharge current with its own second maximum allowable discharge current to determine an appropriate discharge current. For example, if the first maximum allowable discharge current is 30A and the second maximum allowable discharge current is 20A, the vehicle 2 determines that the appropriate discharge current is less than or equal to 20A. Subsequently, the charging and discharging pile 1 controls the first contactor switch K1 and the second contactor switch K2 to attract, and the vehicle 2 starts to discharge.

When the vehicle 2 confirms the discharging operation, the normally open switch S2 is closed, and as an alternative embodiment, the determining unit 53 determines that the discharging confirmation signal returned by the vehicle based on the discharging inquiry signal is received, including:

judging whether the CP end signal changes from a first state value to a second state value; the first state value is used for indicating the stop of discharging, and the second state value is used for indicating the start of discharging;

if yes, it is determined that a discharge confirmation signal returned by the vehicle 2 based on the discharge inquiry signal is received.

Here, before the normally open switch S2 is closed, the first state value of the CP side signal may be 9V; when the normally open switch S2 is closed, the second state value may be 6V. If the vehicle 2 confirms that the discharging operation is not possible at this time, the normally open switch S2 is kept open, and the CP-side signal is always the first state value. And if the charging and discharging pile 1 does not monitor that the CP end signal changes from the first state value to the second state value within the preset time, determining that the vehicle 2 does not perform the discharging operation at the moment.

If the vehicle 2 fails or the user wants to stop discharging during discharging, as an alternative embodiment, after performing the discharging operation, the determining unit 53 is further configured to:

and if the discharging stopping signal is determined to be received, controlling the discharging to be finished.

If the discharge is stopped due to a failure of the vehicle 2, the determining unit 53 determines that the discharge stop signal is received, and may include:

monitoring whether the CP terminal signal changes from the second state value to the first state value or not in the discharging process;

and if so, determining that the discharge stopping signal is received.

If the user wants to stop discharging, the determining unit 53 determines that the discharging stop signal is received, which may include:

judging whether a discharging stopping instruction sent by a user is received;

and if the discharge stopping instruction is received, determining that a discharge stopping signal is received.

When the charging and discharging pile 1 receives the discharging stop signal, the first contactor switch K1 and the second contactor switch K2 are controlled to be turned off, and the discharging of the vehicle 2 is finished.

The charging and discharging pile 1 provided by this embodiment may perform communication interaction with the charging and discharging pile 1 when the vehicle 2 needs to discharge, and when the charging and discharging pile 1 sends a discharging inquiry signal to the vehicle 2, the discharging inquiry signal may carry current value information of a first maximum allowable discharging current of the charging and discharging pile 1, and when the vehicle 2 receives the first maximum allowable current, the discharging current is determined by comparing the first maximum allowable current with a second maximum allowable current of the vehicle, and a discharging operation is performed. Through the design of an interaction mechanism between the charging and discharging pile 1 and the vehicle 2 in the discharging process, the vehicle 2 can feed electric energy back to a power grid under a safe condition, and the utilization rate of the electric vehicle energy storage is improved.
