Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of heavy-duty electric trucks, and in particular to a positioning device and a heavy-duty electric truck. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the development of new energy vehicles has been very rapid. New energy vehicles use power batteries as their driving energy source and have advantages such as low noise, low harmful gas emissions, and environmental protection. In the field of heavy-duty trucks, due to their high power consumption and long battery charging time, the economic efficiency and scalability of heavy-duty trucks are seriously restricted. Against the background of the above shortcomings of rechargeable heavy-duty trucks, battery-swap heavy-duty trucks have come into being. In the existing technology, the current battery-swap technology solution used in heavy-duty trucks is to mechanically and electrically match the battery-swap battery frame with multiple battery packs and the on-board battery-swap base. The battery-swap battery frame can be replaced by lifting it from the top or picking it up from the side, ultimately completing the rapid replacement of the battery system. Among them, the positioning structure for achieving mechanical matching includes a positioning pin provided on the on-board battery-swap base and a corresponding positioning through-hole provided on the battery-swap battery frame. The positioning pin is inserted into the positioning through-hole to achieve the relative positioning of the on-board battery-swap base and the battery-swap battery frame, so that the socket of the battery-swap connector provided on the battery-swap battery frame and the plug of the battery-swap connector on the on-board battery-swap base can be accurately plugged into each other to achieve a reliable electrical connection.

[0003] However, due to processing errors, this positioning structure has a gap between the positioning pin and the pin hole. When the battery swap frame and the vehicle-mounted battery swap base are installed on the vehicle for use, the positioning pin will move radially in the positioning through-hole, causing the positioning pin to collide and impact with the inner wall of the positioning through-hole, causing the size of the positioning through-hole to change. As time goes by, the accuracy of the positioning through-hole decreases. Therefore, during the battery swap process, the socket of the battery swap connector on the battery swap battery frame and the plug of the battery swap connector on the vehicle-mounted battery swap base may not be able to be plugged in or may be poorly plugged in due to insufficient positioning accuracy, affecting the use of the overall system. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a positioning device and a heavy-duty electric truck to solve the problem in the existing positioning structure that due to the collision and impact between the positioning pin shaft and the inner wall of the positioning through hole, the accuracy of the positioning through hole decreases with the passage of time, resulting in insufficient positioning accuracy.

The positioning pin 4 is inserted into the positioning hole 3. The buffer assembly is arranged between the positioning pin mounting seat and the positioning pin 4 and / or between the positioning pin 4 and the positioning hole mounting seat and / or on the positioning pin 4. The buffer assembly can absorb the hole spacing deviation when there is a hole spacing deviation between the battery frame 1 and the battery exchange base 2, and can provide radial buffering and shock absorption when there is relative movement between the battery frame 1 and the battery exchange base 2. The buffer assembly of the positioning device can provide buffering and shock absorption between the positioning pin 4 and the inner wall of the positioning hole 3.

Compared with the rigid clearance fit between the positioning pin 4 and the positioning hole 3 in the prior art, it can prevent the positioning pin 4 from moving radially in the positioning hole 3, thereby preventing the positioning pin 4 from impacting or colliding with the inner wall of the positioning hole 3 after the battery frame 1 is assembled on the battery exchange base 2 of the vehicle, ensuring that the size of the positioning hole 3 remains unchanged, and ensuring the fitting accuracy of the positioning pin 4 and the positioning hole 3, thereby improving the reliability of the entire battery exchange system and increasing the service life of the positioning pin 4 and the positioning hole 3.

[0042] Optionally, the buffer assembly includes a first elastic sleeve 51, and the first elastic sleeve 51 is located between the locating pin 4 and the locating hole mounting seat.

The second elastic sleeve 52 can be assembled to the positioning pin mounting seat first, and then the positioning pin 4 can be assembled to the second elastic sleeve 52, or the positioning pin 4 can be assembled to the second elastic sleeve 52 first, and then the assembly of the positioning pin 4 and the second elastic sleeve 52 can be installed to the positioning pin mounting seat.

In this embodiment 2, the second part 42 is in rigid contact with the inner wall of the locating hole 3.

[0051] Example 3

Alternatively, the third elastic sleeve 53 can be constructed similarly to a particle damper, where granular material is filled between the pin core 401 and the pin housing 402 to provide a cushioning and shock-absorbing effect for the positioning pin hole structure. It is understood that the pin housing 402 has a first portion 41 and a second portion 42, with the first portion 41 being conical and the second portion 42 being cylindrical.
