[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicle battery replacement, and in particular to an automatic ramp structure of a battery replacement station and the battery replacement station. Background Art

[0002] With the depletion of traditional energy, the use of electric energy is becoming more and more popular, especially in the automotive industry, where electric vehicles are being promoted. Currently, how to quickly and safely replenish energy for electric vehicles has become a widely concerned issue.

[0003] At present, the power supply methods of electric vehicle power batteries generally include plug-in charging and battery replacement. The plug-in charging method has two modes: slow charging and fast charging. The plug-in charging method has the following defects: 1. The initial investment cost of the battery is relatively large, which to a certain extent hinders the popularization of electric vehicles; 2. The charging time is too long, at least 2 to 4 hours. Compared with refueling of ordinary cars, the time spent on replenishing energy for electric vehicles is too long, which is very inconvenient and far from meeting people's needs. The fast charging mode will cause greater damage to the battery, resulting in a shortened battery life.
