Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of battery swapping technology, and more specifically, to a battery swapping transfer line device. Background Technology
[0002] When delivery personnel using electric vehicles need battery swapping, they can use the batteries provided by smart battery swapping stations. However, due to compatibility issues between different batteries, a power adapter cable is required during the swapping process. Power adapter cables are generally compatible with batteries from the same brand of battery swapping station, allowing for extended use. However, power adapter cables are frequently lost, and currently, battery swapping stations do not offer dedicated rental or purchase options for power adapter cables, making it inconvenient for users and contributing to the inconvenience of battery swapping. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a battery swapping adapter cable distribution device, so that users can conveniently rent and use the power adapter cable, thereby improving the convenience of battery swapping.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application are implemented in the following manner: In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a battery swapping adapter cable dispensing device applied to a battery swapping cabinet. The battery swapping adapter cable dispensing device includes: a storage cabinet with a dispensing window at the bottom of its side; a conveying component disposed at the bottom of the storage cabinet, with the conveying direction of the conveying component facing the dispensing window; a storage trough disposed above the conveying component and located inside the storage cabinet, forming a transfer window at a position corresponding to the dispensing window, for stacking and storing battery swapping adapter cable packaging boxes with the upper surface of the conveying component as the bottom, wherein the battery swapping adapter cable packaging boxes contain battery swapping adapter cables, and the height of the transfer window is greater than the height of one battery swapping adapter cable packaging box but less than the height of two battery swapping adapter cable packaging boxes; and a cable dispensing cabinet with a receiving window and a pickup window respectively opened on two sides, the cable dispensing cabinet being connected to the storage cabinet, the receiving window being connected to the dispensing window, and the pickup window being used to provide a window for users to pick up the goods.
[0005] In conjunction with the first aspect, in a first possible implementation of the first aspect, the warehouse cabinet includes a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side that are arranged in sequence. The first side is provided with a connecting component for mounting on the side of the battery swapping cabinet via the connecting component. The loading window is located at the bottom of the second side.
[0006] In conjunction with the first possible implementation of the first aspect, in the second possible implementation of the first aspect, a cabinet door is opened on the fourth side, and a lock is provided on the cabinet door.
[0007] In conjunction with the first aspect, in the third possible implementation of the first aspect, the cargo trough includes a fifth side, a sixth side, a seventh side, and an eighth side that are sequentially enclosed, and the fifth side, the sixth side, the seventh side, and the eighth side correspond one-to-one with the first side, the second side, the third side, and the fourth side of the cargo container, respectively. The bottom of the fifth side and the bottom of the seventh side are respectively connected to the two sides of the conveying component; the bottom area of the sixth side is hollowed out, forming a cargo transfer window together with the upper surface of the conveying component.
[0008] In conjunction with the third possible implementation of the first aspect, in the fourth possible implementation of the first aspect, the eighth side is hollowed out as a whole, and wing plates are provided on both sides. The distance between the wing plates on both sides is less than the width of the battery swapping adapter box.
[0009] In conjunction with the fourth possible implementation of the first aspect, in the fifth possible implementation of the first aspect, a first connecting baffle is provided in the bottom area of the eighth side, and a second connecting baffle is provided in the area of the eighth side at a set distance from the top, wherein the height of the bottom area of the eighth side is the same as the height of the bottom area of the sixth side.
[0010] In conjunction with the first aspect, in the sixth possible implementation of the first aspect, the conveying component is an integrated conveyor belt module, which operates under the control of the main control module to realize the conveying of the battery swapping adapter packaging box on the conveyor belt to the shipping window.
[0011] In conjunction with the first aspect, in the seventh possible implementation of the first aspect, the receiving window and the picking window of the dispatch cabinet are respectively set on two opposite sides, and the bottom height of the receiving window is higher than the top height of the picking window.
[0012] Beneficial effects: In this solution, the bottom side of the storage cabinet of the battery swapping adapter cable dispensing equipment has a delivery window; the conveying component is located at the bottom of the storage cabinet, and the conveying direction of the conveying component faces the delivery window; the storage trough is located above the conveying component and inside the storage cabinet, forming a transfer window at the position corresponding to the delivery window, which is used to stack and store battery swapping adapter cable packaging boxes (containing battery swapping adapter cables, i.e., power adapter cables) with the upper surface of the conveying component as the bottom. The height of the transfer window is greater than the height of one battery swapping adapter cable packaging box but less than the height of two battery swapping adapter cable packaging boxes; the dispensing cabinet has a receiving window and a retrieval window on its two sides, respectively. The dispensing cabinet is connected to the storage cabinet, and the receiving window is connected to the delivery window. The retrieval window is used to provide a window for users to retrieve their goods. The main control module (which can be an independent module or a module communicating with an intelligent control terminal connected to the battery swapping cabinet) receives user requests to rent / purchase battery swapping adapter cables (e.g., users rent adapter cables by scanning a code). It then controls the integrated conveyor belt module to transport the stacked battery swapping adapter cable packaging boxes stored on the conveyor belt to the delivery window. Due to the height limitation of the delivery window, only one packaging box is transported at a time. After the first box is transported, the other packaging boxes, originally stacked on top of the one transported, are placed back on the conveyor belt (i.e., the upper surface of the conveyor module) under gravity for the next transport. The transported packaging boxes then enter the cable distribution cabinet connected to the warehouse through the receiving window, where users can retrieve their packaging boxes through the distribution cabinet's retrieval window. The entire cable distribution process of the battery swapping adapter cable distribution equipment is simple, efficient, structurally simple, and low-cost.
[0013] The storage container can be installed on the side of the battery swapping cabinet via a connecting component on its first side. A door with a lock is located on the fourth side, allowing staff to open the door for restocking. Inside the storage container, the storage slots at the bottom of the fifth and seventh sides connect to the sides of the conveyor component, respectively, to fix their relative position. This ensures that stacked battery swapping adapter boxes can be smoothly lowered under gravity, preventing tilting and shipping malfunctions. The bottom area of the sixth side is open, forming a delivery window together with the upper surface of the conveyor component. The eighth side is entirely open, with wing plates along both edges. The distance between the wing plates is less than the width of the battery swapping adapter box, facilitating quantity observation during restocking. The wing plates also restrict the spatial position of the battery swapping adapter boxes, preventing them from tilting or falling out when stacked. A first connecting baffle is provided at the bottom area of the eighth side, and a second connecting baffle is provided at a predetermined distance from the top of the eighth side. The first and second connecting baffles fix the overall shape of the cargo compartment and prevent deformation. Furthermore, the first connecting baffle also limits the battery swapping adapter box at the bottom (i.e., the upper surface of the conveying component), preventing the battery swapping adapter box from accidentally detaching. The receiving window and retrieval window of the dispatch cabinet are respectively located on two opposite sides, and the bottom height of the receiving window is higher than the top height of the retrieval window. This ensures safety and prevents the problem of unauthorized removal of the battery swapping adapter box without effort (for example, if the receiving window and the retrieval window are at the same height, it would be very easy to reach in and remove the first battery swapping adapter box located on the upper surface of the conveying component).

[0027] Please see Figures 1-4 , Figure 1A schematic diagram showing the battery swapping transfer line generator 10 installed on the side of the battery swapping cabinet 20. Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of the battery swapping and transfer line generator 10 from the first angle. Figure 3 This is a structural diagram of the battery swapping and transfer line generator 10 from the second angle. Figure 4 A perspective view of the battery swapping transfer line generator 10.
[0028] In this embodiment, the battery swapping transfer line dispensing device 10 is applied to the battery swapping cabinet 20 and is installed on the side of the battery swapping cabinet 20. The battery swapping transfer line dispensing device 10 may include a storage cabinet 11, a conveying component 12, a storage trough 13, and a dispensing cabinet 14.
[0029] The storage container 11 is roughly rectangular in shape, comprising a first side 111, a second side 112, a third side 113, and a fourth side 114 that are sequentially joined together. The first side 111 is equipped with a connecting component 1111 (e.g., for connection to the battery swapping cabinet 20 via bolts), used for mounting to the side of the battery swapping cabinet 20 via the connecting component 1111. A loading window is provided at the bottom of the second side 112. A handle groove can be provided on the third side 113 to provide a leverage point for workers during installation. A door is provided on the fourth side 114, equipped with a door lock 1141, allowing workers to open the door and replenish the storage container 11.
[0030] In this embodiment, the conveying component 12 is located at the bottom of the storage container 11, and the conveying direction of the conveying component 12 faces the shipping window. The conveying component 12 can be an integrated conveyor belt module (the conveyor belt runs in the direction of the shipping window), and is controlled by the main control module to realize the conveying of the battery swapping adapter packaging box 30 on the conveyor belt to the shipping window.
[0031] The storage trough 13 is positioned above the conveyor component 12 and within the storage cabinet 11. A transfer window is formed at a location corresponding to the shipping window, used to stack and store the battery swapping adapter cable packaging boxes 30 with the upper surface of the conveyor component 12 as the base. Each packaging box 30 contains the battery swapping adapter cable. The height of the transfer window is greater than the height of one packaging box 30 but less than the height of two packaging boxes 30. The reason for placing the battery swapping adapter cable inside the packaging box 30 in this embodiment is that the packaging box 30 is more regular and better suited for conveyor belt transport. It is carried out by the conveyor belt through friction, and the remaining packaging boxes 30 fall back onto the conveyor belt under gravity. This results in lower overall cost and greater safety and reliability.
[0032] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 5 and Figure 6These are schematic diagrams showing the cargo compartment 13 positioned above the conveyor component 12 from two different perspectives. Figure 7 A schematic diagram showing the battery swapping adapter packaging boxes 30 stacked and stored in the storage compartment 13 and on the conveyor component 12 (the bottom one, i.e., the one that should be located on the conveyor component 12, is omitted). The storage compartment 13 is also generally rectangular in shape, but the top and bottom surfaces of the storage compartment 13 are open (not closed). The storage compartment 13 may include a fifth side 131, a sixth side 132, a seventh side 133, and an eighth side 134 that are sequentially enclosed. When the storage compartment 13 is set inside the storage cabinet 11, the fifth side 131, the sixth side 132, the seventh side 133, and the eighth side 134 correspond one-to-one with the first side 111, the second side 112, the third side 113, and the fourth side 114 of the storage cabinet 11, respectively.
[0033] For example, the bottom of the fifth side 131 and the bottom of the seventh side 133 of the storage tank 13 are respectively connected to the two sides of the conveying component 12. This can fix the relative position of the storage tank 13 and the conveying component 12 so that the stacked battery swapping adapter box 30 can be smoothly lowered under the action of gravity, avoiding shipping failures caused by tilting.
[0034] The bottom area of the sixth side 132 of the cargo compartment 13 is hollowed out, forming a cargo transfer window together with the upper surface of the conveying component 12 (the height can be the same as the height of the delivery window). The eighth side 134 is hollowed out in whole, and wing plates 1341 are provided on both sides. The distance between the wing plates 1341 on both sides is less than the width of the battery swapping adapter box 30.
[0035] The bottom area of the sixth side 132 is hollowed out, forming a delivery window together with the upper surface of the conveying component 12. The eighth side 134 is hollowed out in the whole, and there are wing plates 1341 on both sides. The distance between the wing plates 1341 on both sides is less than the width of the battery swapping adapter packaging box 30. This makes it convenient for staff to observe the quantity when replenishing the goods. The wing plates 1341 restrict the spatial position of the battery swapping adapter packaging box 30, preventing the stacked battery swapping adapter packaging boxes 30 from becoming crooked or falling out.
[0036] For example, the bottom area of the eighth side 134 is provided with a first connecting baffle 1342, and the area of the eighth side 134 at a set distance from the top is provided with a second connecting baffle 1343. The height of the bottom area of the eighth side 134 is the same as the height of the bottom area of the sixth side 132.
[0037] A first connecting baffle 1342 is provided at the bottom area of the eighth side 134, and a second connecting baffle 1343 is provided at a predetermined distance from the top of the eighth side 134. The first connecting baffle 1342 and the second connecting baffle 1343 fix the overall shape of the cargo compartment 13 to prevent deformation. In addition, the first connecting baffle 1342 can also limit the battery swapping adapter box 30 at the bottom (i.e., the upper surface of the conveying component 12) to prevent the battery swapping adapter box 30 from accidentally coming off.
[0038] The dispatch cabinet 14 has a receiving window and a retrieval window on its two sides, respectively. The dispatch cabinet 14 is connected to the storage cabinet 11, with the receiving window aligned with the dispatch window, and the retrieval window providing a place for users to collect their goods. For example, the receiving and retrieval windows of the dispatch cabinet 14 can be located on opposite sides, with the bottom of the receiving window higher than the top of the retrieval window. Alternatively, the receiving and retrieval windows can be located on adjacent sides, again with the bottom of the receiving window higher than the top of the retrieval window, which further enhances security.
[0039] The receiving window and the picking window of the dispatch cabinet 14 are respectively located on two opposite sides, and the bottom height of the receiving window is higher than the top height of the picking window. This ensures safety and avoids the problem of unauthorized access to the power swapping adapter box 30 without any effort (for example, if the receiving window and the picking window are at the same height, it is very easy to reach out and take out the first power swapping adapter box 30 located on the upper surface of the transmission component 12).
[0040] The operating principle of this solution is as follows: The main control module (which can be an independent main control module or a main control module communicating with the intelligent control terminal of the battery swapping cabinet 20) receives the user's request to rent / purchase battery swapping adapter cables (e.g., the user rents the adapter cables by scanning a code). It then controls the integrated conveyor belt module to transport the battery swapping adapter cable packaging boxes 30 stacked on the conveyor belt to the delivery window. Due to the height limitation of the delivery window, only one battery swapping adapter cable packaging box 30 is transported at a time. After the transport is completed, the other battery swapping adapter cable packaging boxes 30 that were originally stacked on top of the transported packaging box 30 are stacked on the conveyor belt (i.e., the upper surface of the conveyor module) under gravity, ready for the next transport. The transported battery swapping adapter cable packaging boxes 30 then enter the cable dispensing cabinet 14 connected to the warehouse cabinet 11 through the receiving window. The user can then retrieve the battery swapping adapter cable packaging box 30 through the retrieval window of the cable dispensing cabinet 14. The entire cable dispensing process of the battery swapping adapter cable dispensing device 10 is simple, efficient, structurally simple, and can be implemented at low cost.
[0041] In summary, this application provides a battery swapping adapter cable dispensing device 10. The storage cabinet 11 of the battery swapping adapter cable dispensing device 10 has a delivery window at the bottom of its side. A conveying component 12 is located at the bottom of the storage cabinet 11, and the conveying direction of the conveying component 12 faces the delivery window. A storage trough 13 is located above the conveying component 12 and inside the storage cabinet 11. A transfer window is formed at a position corresponding to the delivery window, which is used to stack and store battery swapping adapter cable packaging boxes 30 (containing battery swapping adapter cables, i.e., power adapter cables) with the upper surface of the conveying component 12 as the bottom. The height of the transfer window is greater than the height of one battery swapping adapter cable packaging box 30 and less than the height of two battery swapping adapter cable packaging boxes 30. A receiving window and a retrieval window are respectively opened on two sides of the dispensing cabinet 14. The dispensing cabinet 14 is connected to the storage cabinet 11, and the receiving window is connected to the delivery window. The retrieval window is used to provide a window for users to retrieve goods. The main control module (which can be an independent main control module or a main control module communicating with the intelligent control terminal of the battery swapping cabinet 20) receives the user's request to rent / purchase battery swapping adapter cables (e.g., the user rents the adapter cables by scanning a code). It then controls the integrated conveyor belt module to transport the battery swapping adapter cable packaging boxes 30 stacked on the conveyor belt to the delivery window. Due to the height limitation of the delivery window, only one packaging box 30 is transported at a time. After the transport is completed, the other packaging boxes 30 that were originally stacked on top of the transported packaging box 30 are stacked on the conveyor belt (i.e., the upper surface of the conveyor module) under gravity for the next transport. The transported packaging boxes 30 then enter the cable dispensing cabinet 14 connected to the warehouse cabinet 11 through the receiving window. The user can then retrieve the packaging box 30 through the retrieval window of the cable dispensing cabinet 14. The entire cable dispensing process of the battery swapping adapter cable dispensing device 10 is simple, efficient, structurally simple, and can be implemented at low cost.
[0042] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
