Fully-automatic battery replacement control system and method for electric vehicle

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of mechanical automation, and particularly relates to a fully-automatic battery replacement control system and a fully-automatic battery replacement control method for an electric vehicle. The system comprises an upper computer, an image acquisition device and a PLC (programmable logic controller), wherein the upper computer communicates with the image acquisition device and the PLC respectively; the image acquisition device is used for acquiring the image information of the electric vehicle driven into a battery replacement station for battery replacement and a battery to be replaced; the upper computer is used for converting the image information, which is provided by the image acquisition device, of the electric vehicle and the battery to be replaced into the position coordinate data, required by the PLC, of a mechanical hand at each station, and transmitting the position coordinate data to the PLC through a bus interface; the PLC is used for controlling the mechanical hand to finish specific battery replacement actions. The control system is high in automation degree and battery replacement efficiency.

Although manual participation increases the flexibility of battery replacement, it also increases labor costs and reduces the efficiency of battery replacement

In addition, due to the heavy weight of a single battery, this increases the labor intensity of workers and the danger of battery replacement work, and the use of automatic equipment not only improves efficiency, but also ensures the safety of operators, so research on the ability to quickly replace batteries has improved battery life. Automatic equipment for replacement efficiency is particularly important
