[0034] In addition, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features, and are used to distinguish and describe features, without distinction of order or importance. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0035] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0036] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 5 The specific structure of the unmanned charging and swapping station according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0037] The present invention discloses an unmanned charging and swapping station, such as Figure 1 As shown, the unmanned charging and swapping station includes a frame structure 1, a charging pile 2, a solar power generation panel 3, a transport mechanism 4, a parking platform 5, a lifting mechanism 6 and a lifting mechanism 7. The frame structure 1 is used to store the battery 100 of the electric vehicle and locking modules 200 of various sizes. The locking module 200 is used to cooperate with the battery 100. The charging pile 2 is arranged in parallel with the frame structure 1. The solar power generation panel 3 is arranged on the frame structure 1. The solar power generation panel 3 can charge the battery 100 on the frame structure 1 and provide power for the charging pile 2. The transport mechanism 4 can be movably arranged in the frame structure 1. The transport mechanism 4 is used to transport the battery 100 or the locking module 200. The parking platform 5 is arranged in parallel with the frame structure 1. The parking platform 5 is used to place the electric vehicle. The lifting mechanism 6 is arranged on the parking platform 5 and is used to lift the electric vehicle. The lifting mechanism 7 is arranged on the parking platform 5 and is located on the inner side of the lifting mechanism 6. The lifting mechanism 7 is used to drive the locking module 200 and / or the battery 100.

[0038] It is understandable that since the frame structure 1 is provided with batteries 100 of various sizes and a locking module 200 for installing and removing multiple batteries 100, in actual use, the locking module 200 can be selected according to the model of the electric vehicle to replace the battery 100 of the electric vehicle, so that the unmanned charging and swapping station of this embodiment can realize the replacement of the battery 100 of various models of electric vehicles. Since the unmanned charging and swapping station of this embodiment is equipped with a lifting mechanism 6, when the electric vehicle drives onto the parking platform 5, the lifting mechanism 6 can lift the frame, and then the transport mechanism 4 transports the locking module 200 to the bottom of the electric vehicle. The lifting mechanism 7 drives the locking module 200 to rise so that it contacts the battery 100 of the electric vehicle and removes it, and then sends the battery 100 back to the frame for charging. The fully charged battery 100 is transported to the lifting mechanism 7, and the lifting mechanism 7 drives the locking module 200 and the battery 100 to rise, and completes the assembly. The lifting mechanism 6 for lifting the electric vehicle and the lifting mechanism 7 for lifting the battery 100 and locking module 200 ensure that the battery 100 can be replaced stably. In addition, solar panels 3 are added to achieve photovoltaic power generation (in areas with abundant wind energy, wind turbines can be added next to the unmanned charging and swapping station to achieve wind power generation). In this way, the new power system composed of photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation generates electricity that can be used by the swapping station to charge the battery 100, thereby reducing carbon emissions.

[0039] It should be noted that, in actual use, when an electric vehicle drives into the unmanned charging and swapping station of this embodiment, it can directly use the charging pile 2 to charge the battery 100 of the electric vehicle, or it can drive to the parking platform 5 to replace the battery 100. In other words, the unmanned charging and swapping station of this embodiment can realize both direct charging and battery replacement 100, and users can choose according to actual needs, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0040] It should be noted that in the present invention, the locking module 200 includes a locking seat and a bolt removal device placed on the locking seat. The structure of the locking module 200 can be derived from existing technology. The drawings of the present invention only use a flat plate to replace the locking module 200, which does not mean that the actual shape of the locking module 200 is exactly the same as the drawings.

[0041] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, the frame structure 1 includes a track frame 11, a storage frame 12, and a locking frame 13. The storage frame 12 and the locking frame 13 are located on either side of the track frame 11. The storage frame 12 is used to store batteries 100, and the locking frame 13 is used to store locking modules 200. The transport mechanism 4 is slidably disposed within the track frame 11 along the length and height of the track frame 11. It will be appreciated that the storage frame 12 and the locking frame 13 provide ample storage space for the batteries 100 and the locking modules 200, thereby expanding the variety and quantity of batteries 100. Placing the storage frame 12 and the locking frame 13 on either side of the track frame 11 facilitates the transport mechanism 4 in transporting the batteries 100 or the locking modules 200.

[0042] It should be noted here that the number of storage frames 12 and locking frames 13, as well as the number of layers of each storage frame 12 and locking frame 13, can be selected according to actual needs and are not limited in detail here. In addition, the positions of the storage frames 12 and locking frames 13 relative to the track frame 11 can also be limited according to actual needs and are not limited to the structure in which the storage frames 12 and locking frames 13 of this embodiment are located on both sides of the track frame 11. The track frame 11, storage frame 12 and locking frame 13 can be directly purchased truss structures or can be welded on-site through profiles. The specific type can be selected according to the needs of the unmanned charging and swapping station in this embodiment.

[0043] In some embodiments, as Figure 3As shown, a traveling track 111 is provided inside the frame structure 1, and the transport mechanism 4 includes a traveling trolley 41 and a lifting module 42. The traveling trolley 41 is arranged on the traveling track 111 so as to be movable along the length direction of the frame structure 1, and the lifting module 42 is arranged on the frame structure 1, and the lifting module 42 is used to drive the traveling trolley 41 to move along the height direction of the frame structure 1; wherein: the traveling trolley 41 has a mating state with the lifting module 42 and a separation state with the lifting module 42. It can be understood that in actual use, when it is necessary to take the battery 100 or the locking module 200 at a high position, the walking trolley 41 first moves to the bottom corresponding to the battery 100 or the locking module 200, and then the walking trolley 41 cooperates with the corresponding lifting module 42, and the lifting module 42 drives the walking trolley 41 to move upward to take the battery 100 or the locking module 200 at a high position. In this way, the battery 100 or the locking module 200 at a high position is realized very conveniently, and because the walking trolley 41 has a mating state with the lifting module 42 and a separation state with the lifting module 42, there is no need to set a driving mechanism that is linked in the height direction and the length direction of the frame structure 1, which simplifies the structure of the conveying mechanism 4 and reduces the space occupied by the conveying mechanism 4.

[0044] It should be noted here that, in practice, the lifting module 42 is set on the track frame 11, and the number of track frames 11 is equal to the number of storage frames 12 and locking frames 13. In order to ensure that the transport mechanism 4 can take the battery 100 or the locking module 200 anywhere, each track frame 11 is provided with a lifting module 42. In the attached drawings of the present invention, only the structure of one lifting module 42 is shown. In practice, the number of lifting modules 42 needs to be determined according to actual needs.

[0045] Preferably, there are two walking trolleys 41. During actual operation, when one walking trolley 41 transports the locking module 200 to the bottom of the electric vehicle, the other walking trolley 41 has already taken out the corresponding battery 100 from the frame structure 1. When the walking trolley 41 that transports the locking module 200 returns the removed battery 100 to the frame structure 1, the other walking trolley 41 places the taken out battery 100 into the lifting mechanism 7, thereby improving the replacement efficiency of the battery 100.

[0046] In some specific embodiments, Figure 5As shown, the walking trolley 41 includes a vehicle body 411, a transport assembly 412 and a telescopic assembly 413. The vehicle body 411 is arranged on the driving track 111 in a movable manner. The transport assembly 412 is arranged on the vehicle body 411. The transport assembly 412 is used to transport the battery 100 or the locking module 200. The telescopic assembly 413 is arranged on the side wall of the vehicle body 411. The telescopic assembly 413 can be engaged or disengaged with the lifting module 42 to switch the walking trolley 41 between the engaged state and the disengaged state. It is understandable that in actual operation, when the vehicle body 411 needs to be raised or lowered, the vehicle body 411 moves to the corresponding position, the telescopic assembly 413 extends and cooperates with the lifting module 42, and the lifting module 42 can drive the vehicle body 411 to rise. When the vehicle body 411 rises to the specified position, the transport assembly 412 can carry the battery 100 or the locking module 200. After the removal is completed, the lifting module 42 drives the vehicle body 411 down to the travel track 111 , and the telescopic assembly 413 retracts to separate the vehicle body 411 and the lifting module 42 , so that the vehicle body 411 can continue to move along the travel track 111 .

[0047] It should be noted that the vehicle body 411 can be a RGV (Rail Guided Vehicle, also called a rail shuttle vehicle). Of course, the vehicle body 411 can also be a walking robot or other structure according to actual needs. The specific selection can be made according to actual needs.

[0048] In some more preferred embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the telescopic assembly 413 includes two telescopic frames 4131, which are telescopically mounted on opposite side walls of the vehicle body 411. A mating sprocket 4132 is provided at one end of the telescopic frames 4131, distal from the vehicle body 411. The lifting module 42 includes a lifting drive source and a sprocket assembly, the chain of which is capable of mating with the mating sprocket 4132. It will be appreciated that the use of the mating sprocket 4132 and the chain of the sprocket assembly to achieve coordination between the telescopic assembly 413 and the lifting module 42 can, on the one hand, simplify the structure and reduce manufacturing costs, and on the other hand, ensure that the lifting module 42 can stably drive the vehicle body 411 up and down.

[0049] In some specific embodiments, Figure 5As shown, the transport assembly 412 includes a lifting rod 4121 and a telescopic arm 4122. The lifting rod 4121 is escalably mounted on the vehicle body 411, and one end of the telescopic arm 4122 is connected to the lifting rod 4121. It is understood that the lifting rod 4121 can adjust the height of the telescopic arm 4122, thereby ensuring that the telescopic arm 4122 can stably pick up the battery 100 or the locking module 200. It should be noted that the type of lifting rod 4121 can be an electric push rod or a ball screw, and the telescopic arm 4122 can be a secondary arm or a tertiary arm, and the specific selection can be based on actual needs.

[0050] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, the parking platform 5 is provided with a wedge-shaped support groove 51, in which a support assembly 52 is provided. The support assembly 52 includes a support rod 521 and a support shaft 522. The support rod 521 is connected to the bottom wall of the support groove 51, and the support shaft 522 is arranged at an angle, with one end rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the support groove 51 and the other end rotatably connected to the support rod 521. It can be understood that the support groove 51 and the support assembly 52 can realize the positioning of the electric vehicle on the parking platform 5, ensure the positioning accuracy of the electric vehicle, and thus ensure that the battery 100 can be replaced stably and accurately.

[0051] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, at both ends of the parking platform 5 are provided liftable barrier bars 53, which are used to prevent electric vehicles from entering the parking platform 5. Therefore, in actual use, the barrier bars 53 can only be lowered after the user pays, thereby preventing the user from forcibly driving the electric vehicle into the parking platform 5.

[0052] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 6 and the lifting mechanism 7 are electric push rods. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the lifting mechanism 6 and the lifting mechanism 7 can also select other lifting drive structures according to actual needs.

[0053] In some embodiments, the unmanned charging and swapping station further includes a forklift 9, which is used to transport the battery 100 and the locking module 200, thereby transporting the battery 100 and the locking module 200 in the unmanned charging and swapping station to the external transport device 8, or transporting the battery 100 and the locking module 200 on the external transport device 8 to the unmanned charging and swapping station. In this way, the forklift 9 can replenish the battery 100 or the locking module 200 in the unmanned charging and swapping station, thereby better meeting the charging needs of electric vehicles.

[0054] Example:

[0055] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 5 The specific structure of an unmanned charging and swapping station according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0056] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the unmanned charging and swapping station includes a frame structure 1, a charging pile 2, a solar panel 3, a transport mechanism 4, a parking platform 5, a lifting mechanism 6, and a lifting mechanism 7. The frame structure 1 includes a track frame 11, a storage frame 12, and a locking frame 13. The track frame 11 is provided with a driving track 111. The storage frame 12 and the locking frame 13 are located on both sides of the track frame 11. The storage frame 12 is used to store batteries 100 of various sizes, and the locking frame 13 is used to store locking modules 200 of various sizes. The charging pile 2 is arranged in parallel with the frame structure 1, and the solar panel 3 is arranged on the frame structure 1. The solar panel 3 can charge the battery 100 on the frame structure 1 and provide power for the charging pile 2.

[0057] like Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the transport mechanism 4 includes two traveling trolleys 41 and a lifting module 42. The traveling trolleys 41 are arranged on the driving track 111 so as to be movable along the length direction of the frame structure 1. The lifting module 42 is arranged on the track frame 11 and is used to drive the traveling trolleys 41 to move along the height direction of the frame structure 1. Figure 5 As shown, the walking trolley 41 includes a vehicle body 411, a transport assembly 412 and a telescopic assembly 413. The vehicle body 411 is arranged on the vehicle track 111 in a movable manner. The telescopic assembly 413 includes two telescopic frames 4131. The two telescopic frames 4131 are telescopically arranged on two oppositely arranged side walls of the vehicle body 411. The end of the telescopic frame 4131 away from the vehicle body 411 is provided with a matching sprocket 4132. The lifting module 42 includes a lifting drive source and a sprocket assembly. The chain of the sprocket assembly can cooperate with the matching sprocket 4132. The transport assembly 412 includes a lifting rod 4121 and a telescopic arm 4122. The lifting rod 4121 is arranged on the vehicle body 411 in a liftable manner. One end of the telescopic arm 4122 is connected to the lifting rod 4121. The telescopic arm 4122 is used to carry the battery 100 or the locking module 200.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, the parking platform 5 is arranged in parallel with the frame structure 1 and is used to place electric vehicles. The parking platform 5 is provided with a wedge-shaped support groove 51, and a support assembly 52 is installed in the support groove 51. The support assembly 52 includes a support rod 521 and a support shaft 522. The support rod 521 is connected to the bottom wall of the support groove 51. The support shaft 522 is arranged at an angle, with one end rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support groove 51 and the other end rotatably connected to the support rod 521. In addition, liftable barrier bars 53 are provided at both ends of the parking platform 5 to prevent electric vehicles from entering the interior of the parking platform 5.

[0059] like Figure 4As shown, a lifting mechanism 6 is provided on the parking platform 5 and is used to lift the electric vehicle. A lifting mechanism 7 is provided on the parking platform 5 and is located inside the lifting mechanism 6. The lifting mechanism 7 is used to drive the locking module 200 and / or the battery 100. The lifting mechanism 6 includes two electric push rods spaced apart, and the lifting mechanism 7 also includes two electric push rods spaced apart.

[0060] The forklift 9 is used to transport the battery 100 and the locking module 200, so as to transport the battery 100 and the locking module 200 in the unmanned charging and swapping station to the external transportation equipment 8, or to transport the battery 100 and the locking module 200 on the external transportation equipment 8 to the unmanned charging and swapping station.

[0061] The advantages of the unmanned charging and swapping station of this embodiment are as follows:

[0062] First: To address the problems of complex design structures and high maintenance costs of current passenger car battery swap stations, the unmanned charging and swap station of this embodiment adopts a modular, serialized, and universal design. The containers used in the battery swap station adopt unified specifications and standard container sizes. At the same time, commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles use containers of the same specifications, thereby greatly reducing procurement costs. In addition, the transport mechanism 4, driving track 111, forklift 9, lifting mechanism 6, and lifting mechanism 7 are designed as modules and serialized according to common loads. In this way, they can be used interchangeably between different passenger car battery swap stations and commercial vehicle battery swap stations, thereby shortening the development cycle and reducing subsequent maintenance costs.

[0063] Second: To address the difficulty in adapting to complex parking postures, an independent lifting mechanism 6 is added directly below the vehicle frame to lift the frame. A pressure sensor is provided on the bearing surface at the top of the lifting mechanism 6 to ensure that the bottom of the battery 100 is parallel to the bearing surface of the locking module 200, ensuring smooth loading and unloading of the battery 100.

[0064] Third: To address the problem that the battery 100 is only suitable for a single type and is difficult to adapt to the battery replacement needs of various types of passenger cars in the market, the unmanned charging and swapping station of this embodiment establishes a locking module storage library for batteries 100 of common models in a fixed area of ​​the frame structure 1 (similar to the tool library in a machining center). According to different models, the corresponding locking module 200 can be used to realize the battery replacement function of various types of passenger cars;

[0065] Fourth: To address the problem that electricity is still mainly sourced from conventional thermal power generation, the unmanned charging and swapping station of this embodiment is equipped with solar panels 3 to realize photovoltaic power generation. (For areas with abundant wind energy, wind turbines can be added next to the unmanned charging and swapping station to realize wind power generation.) In this way, the electricity generated by the new power system composed of photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation is utilized by the battery swapping station to charge the battery 100, thereby reducing carbon emissions.

[0066] Fifth: In order to address the problem that the types and quantities of batteries 100 in the battery swap station are difficult to expand in the future, the unmanned charging and swap station of this embodiment rationally arranges the internal space during design, leaving enough interfaces for the subsequent storage frame 12 and the locking frame 13, and at the same time adds a forklift 9 to deploy the batteries 100 in the battery swap station. On the one hand, offline charging can be realized, and on the other hand, the types of batteries 100 can be expanded and the number of batteries 100 can be increased.

[0067] Sixth: In order to solve the problem that the batteries 100 placed in high-rise locations in the battery swap station are complicated to access and occupy a large space, the unmanned charging and swapping station of this embodiment adopts the spatial layout of the optimized frame mechanism, and proposes a transport mechanism 4 with a lifting module 42. Under the condition of the same floor area, the climbing transport mechanism 4 is used to access the batteries 100 in high-rise locations, so that the elevator can be omitted, which can reduce the floor space and reduce costs.
