Maintenance of remote monitoring function for electric vehicle chargers

The maintenance of the remote monitoring function of electric vehicle chargers can start from aspects such as system architecture construction, data collection and transmission, software platform optimization, security protection, and daily operation and maintenance. The following is a detailed introduction:

System architecture construction

It adopts the "cloud, pipe, edge, terminal" architecture. The terminal is the charging pile, equipped with sensors and controllers to monitor parameters such as the charging status, and uploads data through the communication module. The edge is an edge computing device that collects and initially processes data; The pipe is a data transmission pipeline. Communication technologies such as 4G/5G networks, Wi-Fi, and LoRa are utilized to ensure the secure and stable transmission of data. The cloud serves as the cloud platform and is the system hub, responsible for data storage, analysis, processing and application, and realizing functions such as remote monitoring.

Data acquisition and transmission

Sensor deployment: Integrate current sensors, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, etc. into the charging piles to monitor various data during the charging process in real time. At the same time, video monitoring equipment is equipped to monitor the surrounding conditions of the charging station in real time.

Network connection: Equipped with stable network devices and backup solutions to deal with network instability, choose high-bandwidth connection methods such as fiber-optic broadband or 5G networks to ensure the timely transmission of monitoring data.

Software platform maintenance

Functional modules: The software platform includes data collection, storage, analysis and user interface modules. By integrating with cloud computing, it realizes the storage and analysis of historical data, providing a basis for subsequent maintenance decisions.

Update and upgrade: Regularly check the software version of the charger, and promptly carry out system updates and upgrades to ensure that functions and performance are optimized.

Fault diagnosis and early warning: Predict the fault probability of charging piles based on historical data to achieve proactive maintenance. When abnormal increases in battery charging current and other situations are detected, advanced algorithms and models are used for analysis to provide corresponding diagnostic results and suggestions.

User Management: Through user behavior analysis, provide personalized charging services for users, such as booking charging and navigating to the nearest charging station.

Safety protection

Data encryption: By adopting technical means such as encrypted communication and identity authentication, the security of data transmission and storage is ensured.

Privacy protection: As home charging piles are deployed in private Settings and have strong privacy, user privacy protection should be emphasized in the maintenance of remote monitoring functions.

Daily operation and maintenance

Regular inspection: Relevant personnel conduct regular inspections and maintenance of the internal structure and electrical components of the charging piles.

Fault handling: If any malfunction or abnormal situation is found in the charging pile, relevant maintenance personnel should be contacted promptly for handling. Do not disassemble or repair it by yourself.

Archive management: Establish maintenance and upkeep archives for charging piles, recording information such as the time, content, and results of each maintenance to facilitate traceability and management.
