[0001] The present application relates to the field of battery replacement, and in particular to a battery replacement device and a battery replacement station. Background Art

[0002] With the development of new energy technology, batteries are widely used in electrical equipment, such as mobile phones, laptops, electric vehicles, electric cars, electric airplanes, electric ships, electric toy cars, electric toy ships, electric toy airplanes and electric tools, etc.

[0003] Due to the limitation of battery capacity, electrical devices need to be charged frequently, and charging takes time, affecting the user experience. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present application provides a battery replacement device and a battery replacement station, which can quickly replace the batteries of electrical equipment.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a battery swapping device, which includes a carrying platform, a driving mechanism, a battery swapping platform, and an adjusting mechanism. The driving mechanism is at least used to drive the carrying platform to rise and fall. The battery swapping platform is used to disassemble and assemble batteries of electrical equipment. The adjusting mechanism connects the carrying platform and the battery swapping platform, and is used to adjust the spatial posture of the battery swapping platform relative to the carrying platform.

[0006] When removing the battery, the adjustment mechanism can adjust the spatial posture of the battery swap platform according to the spatial posture of the battery, so that the spatial posture of the battery swap platform is compatible with the spatial posture of the battery to a certain extent, thereby improving the alignment accuracy of the battery swap platform and the battery and reducing the difficulty of removing the battery. When installing the battery, the adjustment mechanism can adjust the spatial posture of the battery swap platform according to the spatial posture of the battery installation position of the electrical equipment, so that the spatial posture of the battery on the battery swap platform is compatible with the spatial posture of the battery installation position to a certain extent, thereby enabling the battery swap platform to install the battery to the electrical equipment more quickly and accurately. By setting an adjustment mechanism, the embodiment of the present application can reduce the difficulty of disassembly and assembly of the battery, improve the efficiency of battery disassembly and assembly, and reduce the risk of the battery being crushed.

[0007] In some embodiments, the adjustment mechanism is provided in multiple forms. Multiple adjustment mechanisms can increase the adjustment range of the spatial posture of the battery swap platform and improve the stability of the battery swap platform during the adjustment process.

[0008] In some embodiments, multiple adjustment mechanisms are distributed in an array. The embodiment of the present application can adjust the battery swap platform at multiple locations evenly arranged, thereby improving the stability of the battery swap platform during the adjustment process and improving the adjustment accuracy.

[0009] In some embodiments, the battery swap platform and the load-bearing platform are arranged relative to each other along a first direction, and the first direction is parallel to the lifting direction of the load-bearing platform. The adjustment mechanism is at least used to change the distance between the battery swap platform and the load-bearing platform along the first direction. Multiple adjustment mechanisms can change the distance between multiple sites of the battery swap platform and the load-bearing platform, thereby adjusting the inclination angle of the battery swap platform relative to the load-bearing platform, so that the spatial posture of the battery swap platform is adapted to the spatial posture of the battery to a certain extent.

[0010] In some embodiments, the adjustment mechanism includes a first adjustment member, a second adjustment member and a first driving member, and the second adjustment member is in contact with the first adjustment member. The first adjustment member is arranged on the battery exchange platform, and the second adjustment member is arranged on the load-bearing platform. The first driving member is used to drive the first adjustment member and the second adjustment member to move relative to each other, so as to change the distance between the battery exchange platform and the load-bearing platform along the first direction through the first adjustment member and the second adjustment member. By adjusting the power output of the first driving member, the distance between the battery exchange platform and the load-bearing platform along the first direction can be adjusted, which is convenient for realizing automatic control.

[0011] In some embodiments, the second adjusting member supports the battery swap platform through the first adjusting member, which can improve the stability of the battery swap equipment and simplify the structure.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first driving member is connected to the first adjusting member and is used to drive the first adjusting member to move relative to the battery swap platform, and the relative movement direction of the first adjusting member and the battery swap platform intersects with the first direction. The second adjusting member is fixed to the supporting platform. The second adjusting member is configured to guide the first adjusting member to move along the first direction when the first adjusting member moves relative to the battery swap platform.

[0013] The second adjusting member can convert the movement of the first adjusting member relative to the battery swap platform into the movement of the battery swap platform along the first direction, thereby making the setting method of the first adjusting member on the battery swap platform more flexible.

[0014] In some embodiments, the first driving member is disposed on a side of the battery swap platform away from the load-bearing platform; the battery swap platform is provided with a channel, the first adjusting member passes through the channel and contacts the second adjusting member.

[0015] In some embodiments, the first adjusting member is threadedly connected to the second adjusting member; the first driving member is used to drive the first adjusting member to rotate relative to the battery swap platform. The second adjusting member can convert the rotation of the first adjusting member into the movement of the battery swap platform along the first direction.

[0016] In some embodiments, the first adjusting member has a first surface at one end facing the load-bearing platform, and the second adjusting member has a second surface at one end facing the battery exchange platform, and the first surface is used to contact the second surface. At least one of the first surface and the second surface is an inclined surface, and the inclined surface intersects with a plane perpendicular to the first direction.

[0017] In some embodiments, the first surface and the second surface are both inclined surfaces, and the first surface and the second surface are in surface-to-surface contact. The surface-to-surface contact can improve the stability of the relative movement between the first adjusting member and the second adjusting member.

[0018] In some embodiments, one of the first surface and the second surface is an inclined surface, and the other is an arc surface, and the first surface and the second surface are in point-to-surface contact. The point-to-surface contact can reduce the resistance of the relative movement between the first adjusting member and the second adjusting member.

[0019] In some embodiments, the adjustment mechanism includes a second driving member and a connecting rod, the second driving member is arranged on the bearing platform, and the connecting rod is hinged to the battery exchange platform. The second driving member is used to drive the connecting rod to move in a first direction. The second driving member can push the battery exchange platform to move in the first direction through the connecting rod to adjust the spatial posture of the battery exchange platform relative to the bearing platform. The connecting rod is hinged to the battery exchange platform. When the battery exchange platform is tilted, the hinge between the connecting rod and the battery exchange platform can rotate, thereby reducing the force and reducing the failure of the connection between the connecting rod and the battery exchange platform.

[0020] In some embodiments, the battery swapping device further comprises an elastic member, which is disposed between the load-bearing platform and the battery swapping platform and connects the load-bearing platform and the battery swapping platform. The elastic member is configured to apply a pulling force to the load-bearing platform and the battery swapping platform.

[0021] In some embodiments, the battery swap device further includes a support component, which is fixed to the load-bearing platform and hinged to the battery swap platform. When the adjustment mechanism adjusts the spatial posture of the battery swap platform, the support component can provide stable support for the battery swap platform, thereby improving the stability of the battery swap platform during the adjustment process.

[0023] By setting up a lifting assembly and a first mobile platform, the battery swap platform can be moved in a first direction and a second direction, so that the battery swap equipment can adjust the battery swap platform according to the position of the battery, realize the disassembly and transportation of the battery, and improve the compatibility of the battery swap equipment.

[0063] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the vehicle structure. Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle 1 is provided with a battery 11, which may be provided at the bottom, head, or tail of the vehicle 1. The battery 11 may be used to power the vehicle 1, for example, the battery 11 may be used as an operating power source for the vehicle 1.

[0064] The vehicle 1 may further include a controller 12 and a motor 13 , wherein the controller 12 is used to control the battery 11 to supply power to the motor 13 , for example, to meet the power requirements of starting, navigating, and driving the vehicle 1 .

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, the battery 11 can not only serve as an operating power source for the vehicle 1 , but also serve as a driving power source for the vehicle 1 , replacing or partially replacing fuel or natural gas to provide driving power for the vehicle 1 .

[0066] In some embodiments, the battery 11 can be snap-connected to the chassis of the vehicle 1 via a snap-fit ​​structure.

[0067] Figure 2 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the explosion of the battery. Figure 2 As shown, the battery 11 may refer to a single physical module including one or more battery cells 111 to provide higher voltage and capacity.

[0068] In some embodiments, the battery 11 may be a battery pack.

[0069] As an example, the battery 11 includes a case 111 and a battery cell 112 , and the battery cell 112 is accommodated in the case 111 .

[0070] The box body 111 may be a component for accommodating the battery cell 112. The box body 111 provides an accommodating space for the battery cell 112, and the box body 111 may adopt various structures.

[0071] In some embodiments, the box 111 may include a first box portion 111a and a second box portion 111b, the first box portion 111a and the second box portion 111b cover each other, and the first box portion 111a and the second box portion 111b together define a storage space for accommodating the battery cell 112. The second box portion 111b may be a hollow structure with one end open, the first box portion 111a is a plate-shaped structure, and the first box portion 111a covers the open side of the second box portion 111b to form the box 111 with a storage space; the first box portion 111a and the second box portion 111b may also be a hollow structure with one side open, and the open side of the first box portion 111a covers the open side of the second box portion 111b to form the box 111 with a storage space. Of course, the first box portion 111a and the second box portion 111b may be in a variety of shapes, such as a cylinder, a cuboid, etc.

[0075] Multiple battery cells 112 can be directly connected in series, in parallel, or mixed together, and then the whole formed by the multiple battery cells 112 can be accommodated in the box 111; of course, multiple battery cells 112 can also be first connected in series, in parallel, or mixed to form a battery module, and then the multiple battery modules can be connected in series, in parallel, or mixed to form a whole and accommodated in the box 111.

[0076] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a battery swap station provided for some embodiments of the present application.

[0077] In some embodiments, the battery swap station 2 includes a support platform 3, a battery compartment 4, and a battery swap device 5. The support platform 3 is used to support the power-consuming device 6. The battery compartment 4 is used to store and charge the battery 11. The battery swap device 5 is configured to be movable between the support platform 3 and the battery compartment 4. The battery swap device 5 can be used to replace the battery 11 of the power-consuming device 6.

[0078] Exemplarily, the battery swap station 2 of the embodiment of the present application can replace the battery 11 according to the following steps: Ⅰ) When the power-consuming equipment 6 enters the supporting platform 3, the power swap equipment 5 can be moved to the lower side of the power-consuming equipment 6, and the battery that has run out of power is removed from the power-consuming equipment 6; Ⅱ) The power swap equipment 5 transfers the removed battery to be charged to the battery compartment 4 for charging, and receives the fully charged battery stored in the battery compartment 4; Ⅲ) The power swap equipment 5 moves to the lower side of the power-consuming equipment 6 with the fully charged battery, and installs the fully charged battery on the power-consuming equipment 6; Ⅳ) The power-consuming equipment 6 leaves the supporting platform 3.

[0079] In some embodiments, a stacker 7 is provided in the battery compartment 4 , and the stacker 7 is used to transfer the batteries to be charged removed from the battery swap device 5 to the charging position of the battery compartment 4 for charging, and to place the fully charged batteries stored in the battery compartment 4 on the battery swap device 5 .

[0080] In some embodiments, the supporting platform 3 includes a lifting mechanism, which is used to lift the electrical equipment 6 so as to facilitate the movement of the power exchange device 5 to the lower side of the electrical equipment 6.

[0081] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of a battery replacement device provided in some embodiments of the present application; Figure 5A schematic top view of a battery exchange device provided in some embodiments of the present application.

[0082] Reference Figures 4 to 5 The battery exchange device 5 of the embodiment of the present application includes a carrying platform 51, a driving mechanism 52, a battery exchange platform 53 and an adjusting mechanism 54. The driving mechanism 52 is at least used to drive the carrying platform 51 to rise and fall. The battery exchange platform 53 is used to disassemble and assemble the battery 11 of the electrical equipment 6. The adjusting mechanism 54 connects the carrying platform 51 and the battery exchange platform 53, and is used to adjust the spatial posture of the battery exchange platform 53 relative to the carrying platform 51.

[0083] The carrying platform 51 is used to carry the battery exchange platform 53. Exemplarily, when the battery 11 is disassembled, the battery exchange platform 53 can be located on the side of the carrying platform 51 facing the battery 11.

[0084] The driving mechanism 52 can only drive the carrying platform 51 to move up and down. Alternatively, in addition to driving the carrying platform 51 to move up and down, the driving mechanism 52 can also drive the carrying platform 51 to move horizontally and / or rotate.

[0085] The battery swap platform 53 can release the lock between the battery 11 and the electric device 6 to remove the battery 11 from the electric device 6; the battery swap platform 53 can also lock the battery 11 to the electric device 6 to install the battery 11 to the electric device 6.

[0086] The adjustment of the spatial posture of the battery swap platform 53 relative to the carrying platform 51 by the adjustment mechanism 54 includes but is not limited to at least one of rotation, tilting and lifting of the battery swap platform 53 relative to the carrying platform 51.

[0087] There may be one or more adjustment mechanisms 54. In some examples, there are multiple adjustment mechanisms 54, and the arrangement of the multiple adjustment mechanisms 54 can be flexibly set according to requirements.

[0088] As an example, when it is necessary to remove the battery to be charged of the electric device 6, the battery exchange device 5 is moved to the lower side of the electric device 6; the driving mechanism 52 lifts the battery exchange platform 53 so that the battery exchange platform 53 faces the battery to be charged and supports the battery to be charged. If the spatial posture of the battery 11 deviates greatly from the set state due to factors such as the installation accuracy of the battery 11 and the position deviation of the electric device 6, the adjustment mechanism 54 can adjust the spatial posture of the battery exchange platform 53 according to the spatial posture of the battery 11 so that the spatial posture of the battery exchange platform 53 is adapted to the spatial posture of the battery 11 to a certain extent. Then, the battery exchange platform 53 releases the lock between the battery 11 and the electric device 6; after the battery exchange platform 53 releases the lock between the battery 11 and the electric device 6, the driving mechanism 52 drives the battery to be charged to descend and separates the battery to be charged from the electric device 6, thereby removing the battery to be charged from the electric device 6.

[0089] The battery exchange device 5 can transfer the removed batteries to be charged to the battery compartment 4 for charging, and receive the fully charged batteries stored in the battery compartment 4.

[0090] When the battery swap device 5 needs to install a fully charged battery on the power-consuming device 6, the battery swap device 5 is moved to the lower side of the power-consuming device 6; the driving mechanism 52 lifts the battery swap platform 53, so that the battery swap platform 53 with the fully charged battery is lifted and close to the power-consuming device 6. If the battery installation position for installing the battery 11 of the power-consuming device 6 is tilted, the adjustment mechanism 54 can adjust the spatial posture of the battery swap platform 53 accordingly, so that the spatial posture of the battery 11 on the battery swap platform 53 is compatible with the spatial posture of the battery installation position to a certain extent, so that the battery swap platform 53 can install the battery 11 on the power-consuming device 6 more quickly and accurately.

[0091] When removing the battery 11, the adjustment mechanism 54 can adjust the spatial posture of the battery swap platform 53 according to the spatial posture of the battery 11, so that the spatial posture of the battery swap platform 53 and the spatial posture of the battery 11 are adapted to a certain extent, thereby improving the alignment accuracy of the battery swap platform 53 and the battery 11 and reducing the difficulty of removing the battery 11. When installing the battery 11, the adjustment mechanism 54 can adjust the spatial posture of the battery swap platform 53 according to the spatial posture of the battery mounting position of the electrical equipment 6, so that the spatial posture of the battery 11 on the battery swap platform 53 and the spatial posture of the battery mounting position are adapted to a certain extent, thereby enabling the battery swap platform 53 to install the battery 11 to the electrical equipment 6 more quickly and accurately. By providing the adjustment mechanism 54, the embodiment of the present application can reduce the difficulty of disassembly and assembly of the battery 11, improve the efficiency of disassembly and assembly of the battery 11, and reduce the risk of the battery 11 being crushed.

[0092] In some embodiments, a plurality of adjustment mechanisms 54 are provided.

[0093] In some examples, multiple adjustment mechanisms 54 can use the same method to adjust the spatial posture of the battery swap platform 53 relative to the carrying platform 51. For example, each adjustment mechanism 54 is used to change the spacing between the battery swap platform 53 and the carrying platform 51 along the first direction Z, and the first direction Z can be parallel to the lifting direction of the carrying platform 51.

[0094] In other examples, the multiple adjustment mechanisms 54 can also use different methods to adjust the spatial posture of the battery swap platform 53 relative to the carrying platform 51. For example, some of the adjustment mechanisms 54 are used to change the spacing between the battery swap platform 53 and the carrying platform 51 along the first direction Z, and another part of the adjustment mechanisms 54 is used to rotate the battery swap platform 53.

[0095] The arrangement of the multiple adjustment mechanisms 54 may vary according to different design requirements. For example, the arrangement of the multiple adjustment mechanisms 54 may be based on the shape of the battery 11, the possible posture deviation of the battery 11, or other settings. For example, the multiple adjustment mechanisms 54 may be evenly distributed, such as in an array; alternatively, the multiple adjustment mechanisms 54 may be unevenly distributed.

[0096] Multiple adjustment mechanisms 54 can increase the adjustment range of the spatial posture of the battery swap platform 53 and improve the stability of the battery swap platform 53 during the adjustment process.

[0097] In some embodiments, the plurality of adjustment mechanisms 54 are distributed in an array.

[0098] Exemplarily, the plurality of adjustment mechanisms 54 may be distributed in a rectangular array or in a circular array.

[0099] The embodiment of the present application can adjust the battery swap platform 53 at multiple evenly arranged locations, thereby improving the stability of the battery swap platform 53 during the adjustment process and improving the adjustment accuracy.

[0100] In some embodiments, the battery exchange platform 53 is generally rectangular when viewed from the first direction Z, and the multiple adjustment mechanisms 54 are distributed in a rectangular array. In other embodiments, the battery exchange platform 53 is generally circular when viewed from the first direction Z, and the multiple adjustment mechanisms 54 are distributed in a ring array.

[0101] In some embodiments, the battery exchange platform 53 is rectangular. When viewed from the first direction Z, the outer contour of the battery exchange platform 53 is generally rectangular. Optionally, the support platform 51 is connected to the four corners of the battery exchange platform 53 through four adjustment mechanisms 54, respectively.

[0102] In some embodiments, the battery exchange platform 53 includes a support plate 531 and a locking and unlocking mechanism 532. The support plate 531 is used to support the battery 11. The locking and unlocking mechanism 532 is disposed on the support plate 531, and the locking and unlocking mechanism 532 is used to release the lock between the battery 11 and the power-consuming device 6 or lock the battery 11 to the power-consuming device 6.

[0103] When the battery to be charged of the electric device 6 needs to be removed, the driving mechanism 52 drives the support plate 531 to rise, so that the support plate 531 abuts against and supports the battery to be charged. After the support plate 531 supports the battery to be charged, the locking and unlocking mechanism 532 moves and releases the lock between the battery to be charged and the electric device 6.

[0104] If the spatial posture of the battery 11 has a large deviation, the adjustment mechanism 54 can adjust the spatial posture of the locking and unlocking mechanism 532 through the support plate 531 to improve the alignment accuracy of the locking and unlocking mechanism 532 .

[0105] When the fully charged battery needs to be installed on the electric device 6, the driving mechanism 52 drives the support plate 531 to rise, so that the fully charged battery on the support plate 531 moves toward the electric device 6. When the fully charged battery reaches the set position, the locking and unlocking mechanism 532 moves and locks the fully charged battery to the electric device 6.

[0106] If there is a large deviation in the spatial posture of the battery installation position of the electrical equipment 6, the adjustment mechanism 54 can adjust the spatial posture of the battery 11 and the spatial posture of the locking and unlocking mechanism 532 through the support plate 531 to align the battery 11 with the battery installation position and improve the alignment accuracy of the locking and unlocking mechanism 532.

[0107] According to the different connection relationships between the battery 11 and the electrical device 6, the locking and unlocking mechanism 532 can be correspondingly set to different structures.

[0108] In some examples, the electrical device 6 and the battery 11 are connected by a snap-fit ​​structure. At this time, the unlocking mechanism 532 includes a liftable unlocking column; when the battery to be charged needs to be removed, the unlocking column rises and squeezes the snap-fit ​​structure to release the lock between the battery to be charged and the electrical device 6.

[0109] In other examples, the electrical device 6 and the battery 11 are connected by bolts or other threaded fasteners. In this case, the locking and unlocking mechanism 532 includes a bolt sleeve, which can drive the bolt to rotate to release the lock between the battery to be charged and the electrical device 6.

[0110] In other examples, the locking and unlocking mechanism 532 may also adopt other mechanisms.

[0111] Optionally, the support plate 531 is rectangular. The four adjustment mechanisms 54 are connected to the four corners of the support plate 531 respectively.

[0112] In some embodiments, the battery swap platform 53 includes multiple locking and unlocking mechanisms 532.

[0113] In some embodiments, the adjustment mechanism 54 connects the carrying platform 51 and the support plate 531. Exemplarily, the adjustment mechanism 54 is disposed between the carrying platform 51 and the support plate 531.

[0114] In some embodiments, the battery exchange platform 53 and the carrying platform 51 are arranged relative to each other along a first direction Z, and the first direction Z is parallel to the lifting direction of the carrying platform 51. Optionally, the battery exchange platform 53 is located above the carrying platform 51.

[0115] In some embodiments, the adjustment mechanism 54 is at least used to change the distance between the battery exchange platform 53 and the supporting platform 51 along the first direction Z.

[0116] Multiple adjustment mechanisms 54 can change the distance between multiple locations of the battery exchange platform 53 and the supporting platform 51, thereby adjusting the inclination angle of the battery exchange platform 53 relative to the supporting platform 51, so that the spatial posture of the battery exchange platform 53 is adapted to the spatial posture of the battery 11 to a certain extent.

[0117] In the embodiment of the present application, compared with the movement amplitude of the power exchange platform 53 in the first direction Z caused by the driving mechanism 52 , the movement amplitude of the power exchange platform 53 in the first direction Z caused by the adjusting mechanism 54 is smaller.

[0118] In some embodiments, the adjustment mechanism 54 includes a first adjustment member 541, a second adjustment member 542 and a first driving member 543, and the second adjustment member 542 contacts the first adjustment member 541. The first adjustment member 541 is arranged on the power exchange platform 53, and the second adjustment member 542 is arranged on the bearing platform 51. The first driving member 543 is used to drive the first adjustment member 541 and the second adjustment member 542 to move relative to each other, so as to change the spacing between the power exchange platform 53 and the bearing platform 51 along the first direction Z through the first adjustment member 541 and the second adjustment member 542.

[0119] The first driving member 543 can drive the first adjusting member 541 , can also drive the second adjusting member 542 , and can also drive the first adjusting member 541 and the second adjusting member 542 simultaneously.

[0120] The first adjusting member 541 and the second adjusting member 542 may be in point contact, line contact or surface contact.

[0121] The relative motion between the first adjusting member 541 and the second adjusting member 542 includes at least one of a linear motion and a rotational motion.

[0122] By adjusting the power output of the first driving member 543, the distance between the battery exchange platform 53 and the supporting platform 51 along the first direction Z can be adjusted, which facilitates automatic control.

[0123] In some embodiments, the second adjusting member 542 supports the battery exchange platform 53 through the first adjusting member 541, which can improve the stability of the battery exchange equipment 5 and simplify the structure.

[0124] In some embodiments, the first driving member 543 is connected to the first adjusting member 541 and is used to drive the first adjusting member 541 to move relative to the power exchange platform 53. Exemplarily, the first driving member 543 can drive the first adjusting member 541 to move linearly or rotationally.

[0125] In some embodiments, the relative movement direction between the first adjusting member 541 and the power exchange platform 53 intersects with the first direction Z. Exemplarily, the first driving member 543 can drive the first adjusting member 541 to move linearly.

[0126] In some embodiments, the second adjusting member 542 is fixed to the carrying platform 51. The second adjusting member 542 can be fixed to the carrying platform 51 by fastener connection, clamping, bonding, welding or other connection methods. Optionally, the second adjusting member 542 is fixed to the upper side of the carrying platform 51.

[0127] In some embodiments, the second adjustment member 542 is configured to guide the first adjustment member 541 to move along the first direction Z when the first adjustment member 541 moves relative to the power exchange platform 53.

[0128] By setting the second adjusting member 542, the movement of the first adjusting member 541 relative to the battery exchange platform 53 can be converted into the movement of the battery exchange platform 53 along the first direction Z, so that the setting method of the first adjusting member 541 on the battery exchange platform 53 is more flexible.

[0129] In some embodiments, the first driving member 543 is disposed on the side of the battery exchange platform 53 away from the carrying platform 51, thereby saving space between the battery exchange platform 53 and the carrying platform 51 and improving the integration of the battery exchange equipment 5.

[0130] In some embodiments, the battery exchange platform 53 is provided with a channel 533 , and the first adjustment member 541 passes through the channel 533 and contacts the second adjustment member 542 .

[0131] By providing the channel 533 , the first adjusting member 541 can be avoided, so that the first adjusting member 541 is connected to the first driving member 543 and contacts the second adjusting member 542 .

[0132] In some embodiments, the channel 533 extends along the second direction Y, and the channel 533 can guide the first adjustment member 541 to translate in the second direction Y. The second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction Z. In other examples, the channel 533 extends along the third direction X, and the channel 533 can guide the second adjustment member 542 to move in the third direction X, and the first direction Z, the second direction Y, and the third direction X are perpendicular to each other.

[0133] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the first adjusting member 541 is located on a side of the battery exchange platform 53 facing the carrying platform 51 , and overlaps with the battery exchange platform 53 in the first direction Z. The first adjusting member 541 can support the battery exchange platform 53 .

[0134] In some embodiments, the first adjusting member 541 has a first surface 541a at one end facing the carrying platform 51, and the second adjusting member 542 has a second surface 542a at one end facing the battery exchange platform 53, and the first surface 541a is used to contact the second surface 542a. At least one of the first surface 541a and the second surface 542a is an inclined surface, and the inclined surface intersects with a plane perpendicular to the first direction Z.

[0135] By setting the inclined surface, the relative movement between the battery exchange platform 53 and the first adjustment member 541 can be converted into the movement of the battery exchange platform 53 along the first direction Z.

[0136] In some embodiments, the first surface 541a and the second surface 542a are both inclined surfaces, and the first surface 541a and the second surface 542a are in surface-to-surface contact. The surface-to-surface contact can improve the stability of the relative movement between the first adjusting member 541 and the second adjusting member 542.

[0137] In some embodiments, the battery exchange device further includes an elastic member 55, which is disposed between the carrying platform 51 and the battery exchange platform 53 and connects the carrying platform 51 and the battery exchange platform 53. The elastic member 55 is configured to apply a pulling force to the carrying platform 51 and the battery exchange platform 53.

[0138] The elastic member 55 may be a member that works by utilizing elastic properties. For example, the elastic member 55 may be a structure having elasticity, for example, the elastic member 55 may include a spring. For example, the elastic member 55 may be a member made of an elastic material, such as a rubber band made of elastic rubber.

[0139] The number of the elastic member 55 may be one or more.

[0140] The elastic member 55 can provide a reset pulling force for the supporting platform 51 and the battery exchange platform 53, so as to facilitate the battery exchange platform 53 to return to its initial position after the battery 11 is replaced.

[0141] In addition, by providing the elastic member 55 , the risk of separation of the first adjusting member 541 and the second adjusting member 542 can be reduced.

[0142] In some embodiments, the elastic member 55 includes a spring.

[0143] In some embodiments, there are four elastic members 55 and four support plates 531 . The four elastic members 55 are connected to four corners of the support plate 531 .

[0145] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, one of the first surface 541a and the second surface 542a is an inclined surface, and the other is an arc surface, and the first surface 541a and the second surface 542a are in point-to-surface contact.

[0146] Exemplarily, the arc surface is a portion of a spherical surface.

[0147] In some examples, the first surface 541a is an inclined surface, and the second surface 542a is an arc surface; in another example, the second surface 542a is an inclined surface, and the first surface 541a is an arc surface.

[0148] The point-to-surface contact can reduce the resistance to the relative movement between the first adjusting member 541 and the second adjusting member 542 .

[0149] In some embodiments, the first surface 541a is an inclined surface, and the second surface 542a is an arc surface.

[0151] As shown in the figure, in some embodiments, the battery exchange device 5 also includes a supporting component 56, which is fixed to the supporting platform 51 and hinged to the battery exchange platform 53.

[0152] During the process of the adjustment mechanism 54 adjusting the spatial posture of the battery swap platform 53, the support component 56 can provide stable support for the battery swap platform 53, thereby improving the stability of the battery swap platform 53 during the adjustment process.

[0153] Exemplarily, the position where the battery swap platform 53 is hinged to the support component 56 can be used as a fixed base point. The position where the battery swap platform 53 is connected to the adjustment mechanism 54 can be raised and lowered relative to the base point, and can also rotate around the base point.

[0154] In some embodiments, the hinge between the support component 56 and the battery exchange platform 53 is a ball joint structure.

The connecting rod 545 is hinged to the battery swap platform 53. When the battery swap platform 53 is tilted, the hinge between the connecting rod 545 and the battery swap platform 53 can rotate, thereby reducing the force and reducing the failure of the connection between the connecting rod 545 and the battery swap platform 53.

[0164] In some embodiments, the connecting rod 545 is a ball joint structure at the hinge of the battery exchange platform 53.
