Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery swapping for electric vehicles, and particularly to an assembly method for a battery swapping station. Background Technology

[0002] Battery swapping stations are used to replace batteries in electric vehicles. After an electric vehicle drives into the station and is reliably located, the battery swapping equipment replaces the battery. Specifically, the battery swapping trolley removes the battery to be replaced from the electric vehicle and places it on a palletizer. The palletizer then transports the battery to be replaced to a charging rack. The palletizer then removes the fully charged new battery from the charging rack and places it on the battery swapping trolley. The battery swapping trolley then transports the new battery to a designated location and installs it into the electric vehicle.

[0004] Patent CN211684751U discloses a battery swapping station, which is an integrated box-type station. When the station is put into use, it is difficult to expand its capacity due to insufficient charging compartment capacity. If expansion is absolutely necessary, an additional box can be added to the side or top. If connections between different boxes are needed for convenient battery transport, the original station's frame needs to be cut open, which is inconvenient and compromises the station's safety. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art and provide an assembly method for a battery swapping station.

[0006] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solution:

[0007] An assembly method for a battery swapping station, the assembly method comprising the following steps:

[0008] Assemble the bottom component and position it in the preset position;

[0009] The two side components are installed on the front and rear sides of the bottom component to form a frame structure of a battery storage area located at the left and right ends of the bottom component and a middle battery swapping area in the middle of the two ends.

[0010] A top component is installed on the upper part of the two side components.

[0011] In this solution, firstly, the battery swapping station is formed by assembling a box frame consisting of bottom, top, and side components. When expansion is needed, the expansion box can be quickly extended and assembled along each expansion direction, thus conveniently and quickly increasing the battery capacity of the station. Simultaneously, the unobstructed box frame facilitates electrical connections after expansion and makes it easy to power on the expansion box, resulting in high scalability. Secondly, the assembly method involves first molding the bottom, top, and side components separately, and then connecting the top and bottom components to the side components. Since each module can be assembled simultaneously, the battery swapping station can be rapidly constructed, and this assembly method has high assembly efficiency. Furthermore, each module is assembled from individual components, and the components are relatively small in size, allowing for pre-treatment of the components, such as electrophoresis, resulting in better surface treatment and improved corrosion resistance of the battery swapping station. Furthermore, during assembly, the side components support the top components, thus facilitating more reliable installation of the top components. Third, since the battery swapping station is assembled, space and location for internal equipment and wiring can be reserved during construction according to actual needs, which is beneficial for the rational layout of the internal structure and equipment of the battery swapping station. Fourth, due to its frame structure, the entire battery swapping station can be formed by installing detachable protective plates on the outside of the enclosure. When the battery temperature is too high, the battery can be directly removed from the inside or pushed out of the battery swapping station by removing or pushing out the protective plates, thereby improving the safety of the battery swapping station.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom component includes two support modules located at the left and right ends and an intermediate battery swapping module located between the two support modules, wherein the intermediate battery swapping module and / or the support modules are provided with connectors for connecting the intermediate battery swapping module between the two support modules;

[0013] The assembly of the bottom component and its positioning in the preset position further includes the following steps:

[0014] Assemble the intermediate battery swapping module;

[0015] The two support modules are respectively installed at both ends of the intermediate battery swapping module along the left and right directions.

[0016] In this design, the bottom component includes an interconnected intermediate battery swapping module and a support module. The support module supports the battery rack. The intermediate battery swapping module and the support module can be molded separately, or even simultaneously, and then assembled, which improves assembly efficiency. Furthermore, if only a portion is damaged, such as a damaged support module, only that support module needs to be replaced or maintained, without replacing the entire bottom component, thus reducing overall costs.

[0017] Preferably, the intermediate battery swapping module includes a guide module for moving the battery swapping trolley and two positioning modules located on its front and rear sides for positioning the electric vehicle. The guide module and / or the positioning module are provided with connectors for connecting the guide module to the two positioning modules.

[0018] Assembling the intermediate battery swapping module further includes the following steps:

[0019] Assemble the guide module;

[0020] The positioning module is installed at both ends of the guide module in the front-to-back direction.

[0021] In this solution, the intermediate battery swapping module includes a guide module and a positioning module assembled together. The guide module and positioning module can be molded separately, or even simultaneously. The assembly method is relatively simple and convenient, which helps to further improve the assembly efficiency of the battery swapping station. Furthermore, if only one module in the intermediate battery swapping module fails, only the corresponding module needs to be replaced, without replacing the entire bottom component, which helps to further reduce overall costs.

[0022] Preferably, the guide module includes a guide frame consisting of at least two crossbeams extending along the front-rear direction and at least two longitudinal beams extending along the front-rear direction.

[0023] Assembling the guide module includes the following steps:

[0024] The horizontal and vertical beams are assembled to form a guide frame;

[0025] At least one guide rail surface is provided on each of the two crossbeams for the battery swapping trolley to travel on.

[0026] In this design, the guide module has a relatively simple structure, facilitating rapid assembly. The guide rails facilitate the movement of the battery swapping trolley and also provide guidance. Furthermore, by directly mounting the guide rails on the crossbeam, the need for a separate carrier for the guide rails is eliminated, simplifying the overall structure of the battery swapping station.

[0027] Preferably, assembling the guide module further includes the step of:

[0028] A panel is laid in the first area formed between the two beams;

[0029] Foam filling is performed in the first area, and the foam filling location is below the panel.

[0030] In this solution, foam filling is used to improve the sealing effect and strength of the panel, which in turn improves the sealing effect and strength of the bottom component, making the bottom component less susceptible to the influence of the external environment.

[0031] Preferably, the positioning module includes a lifting platform, a lifting mechanism located below the lifting platform, and a positioning mechanism located on the lifting platform;

[0032] The step of installing the positioning module at both ends of the guide module in the front-rear direction includes:

[0033] The lifting mechanism is installed below the lifting platform;

[0034] The positioning mechanism is installed on the lifting platform;

[0035] The positioning module is installed at both ends of the guide module.

[0036] In this design, the positioning module has a relatively simple structure, is easy to assemble, and can be quickly prototyping. Furthermore, after the positioning module is assembled, it is then joined to the guiding module, which is also convenient, facilitating the rapid assembly of the battery swapping station and improving assembly efficiency.

[0037] Preferably, the top assembly includes a first top unit corresponding to the battery storage area and a second top unit corresponding to the intermediate battery swapping area;

[0038] The step of mounting the top component on the upper part of the two side components includes:

[0039] Assemble the two first top units corresponding to the two battery storage areas respectively;

[0040] A second top unit corresponding to the intermediate power swapping area is installed between the two first top units;

[0041] The top component is mounted on top of the two side components.

[0042] In this design, the side components support the top component during assembly, facilitating convenient and rapid assembly. Furthermore, the first and second top units are individually formed, and the assembled top component is then installed onto the side components, improving the overall assembly efficiency of the battery swapping station. Moreover, if only one of the first or second top units in the top component is damaged, only that unit needs to be replaced, rather than the entire top component, thus reducing the overall cost of the battery swapping station.

[0043] Preferably, the first top unit includes a first connecting beam and a second connecting beam that intersects or is perpendicular to the first connecting beam;

[0044] The assembly of the two first top units corresponding to the two battery storage areas includes the following steps:

[0045] A receiving groove for accommodating wire harness is pre-set along the respective length direction on the first connecting beam and / or the second connecting beam;

[0046] The first connecting beam and the second connecting beam are connected and fixed to form the first top unit.

[0047] In this design, the first top unit has a simple structure, facilitating relatively quick assembly. Furthermore, the first connecting beam and / or the second connecting beam in the first top unit, in addition to providing support and reinforcement, also serve to store the wiring harness, integrating multiple functions and simplifying the structure of the battery swapping station.

[0048] Preferably, the assembly method further includes assembling the side assembly, the side assembly including a top crossbeam penetrating the two battery storage areas and the intermediate battery swapping area, two bottom crossbeams respectively located in the two battery storage areas, a plurality of columns connecting the top crossbeam and the bottom crossbeam, and a reinforcing structure;

[0049] Assembling the side assembly includes the following steps:

[0050] The first ends of the plurality of columns are connected to the top crossbeam;

[0051] Connect the two bottom crossbeams to the second end of the corresponding column;

[0052] The reinforcing structure is provided at the top crossbeam.

[0053] In this design, the side components have a simple structure, facilitating rapid assembly. The reinforced structure reliably strengthens the side components within a small space, thus providing better support. Furthermore, the structure of the side components allows for easy connection to the top and bottom components.

[0054] Preferably, the assembly method further includes,

[0055] A protective plate is installed on the side and / or top surface of the battery swapping station and is detachably connected to the side and / or top surface.

[0056] In this design, a protective plate is installed on the outside of the frame to protect the interior of the battery swapping station. The detachable connection allows for convenient and quick connection and disassembly between the protective plate and the frame. In case of emergencies, such as overheating of the battery pack, the easily removable protective plate allows for rapid transfer of the battery pack to the outside of the frame.

[0057] Based on common knowledge in the field, the above-mentioned preferred conditions can be combined arbitrarily to obtain various preferred embodiments of the present invention.

[0058] The positive and progressive effects of this invention are as follows:

[0059] In this invention, firstly, the battery swapping station is formed by assembling a box frame consisting of a top component, a top component, and side components. When expansion is needed, the expansion box can be quickly extended and assembled along each expansion direction of the battery swapping station, thereby conveniently and quickly expanding the battery capacity of the station. Simultaneously, since the box frame is unobstructed, it facilitates electrical connections after expansion and makes it easy to power on the expansion box, thus the battery swapping station has high scalability. Secondly, the assembly method first forms the bottom component, top component, and side components separately, and then connects the top and bottom components to the side components. Since each module, such as the top component, top component, and side components, can be assembled simultaneously, the battery swapping station can be rapidly formed, and the assembly method has high assembly efficiency. Furthermore, each module is assembled from individual parts, and the size of each part is relatively small. Surface treatments, such as electrophoresis, can be performed on each part beforehand, resulting in better surface treatment and improved corrosion resistance of the battery swapping station. Furthermore, during assembly, the side components support the top components, thus facilitating more reliable installation of the top components. Third, since the battery swapping station is assembled, space and location for internal equipment and wiring can be reserved during construction according to actual needs, which is beneficial for the rational layout of the internal structure and equipment of the battery swapping station. Fourth, due to its frame structure, the battery swapping station can be formed by installing detachable protective plates on the outside of the enclosure. When the battery temperature is too high, the battery can be directly removed from the battery swapping station by removing or pushing out the protective plates from the inside, thereby improving the safety of the battery swapping station.

[0122] The present invention will be further illustrated by way of embodiments below, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments.

[0123] Example 1

[0124] This embodiment discloses a rapidly assembled enclosure and a battery swapping station containing the enclosure, which is used to construct a battery swapping station, such as... Figure 1-14 As shown, the enclosure is a frame structure and includes: two battery storage areas 800 located at both ends; and a battery swapping area 900 located between the two battery storage areas 800.

[0125] The enclosure also includes a bottom component 100 and a top component 500 that run through the intermediate battery swapping area 900 and the two battery storage areas 800. The enclosure also includes two side components 600 located on the front and rear sides, with the side components 600 connected between the bottom component 100 and the top component 500.

[0126] In this solution, the frame structure of the box is assembled from the bottom component 100, the top component 500 and the side component 600. The battery storage area 800 and the middle battery swapping area 900 are functional divisions of the battery swapping station area.

[0127] In this embodiment, firstly, the battery swapping station is formed by assembling a box frame consisting of a bottom component 100, a top component 500, and a side component 600. When expansion is required, the expansion box can be quickly extended and assembled along each expansion direction of the battery swapping station, thereby conveniently and quickly expanding the battery capacity of the station. Simultaneously, since the box frame is unobstructed, it facilitates electrical connections after expansion and makes it easy to power on the expansion box; therefore, the battery swapping station has high scalability.

[0128] Secondly, the enclosure can be prefabricated with the bottom component 100, top component 500, and side component 600 separately, and then the top component 500 and bottom component 100 can be connected to the side components 600. Since each module, such as the bottom component 100, top component 500, and side component 600, can be assembled simultaneously, the battery swapping station can be rapidly prototyping and has high construction efficiency. Furthermore, each module is assembled from individual components, and since each component is relatively small, surface treatments such as electrophoresis can be pre-applied to each component, resulting in better surface treatment and improved corrosion resistance of the battery swapping station.

[0129] Third, since the battery swapping station containing the aforementioned enclosure is assembled, space and location for internal equipment and lines can be reserved during construction according to actual needs, which is conducive to the rational layout of the internal structure and equipment of the battery swapping station.

[0130] Fourth, since the enclosure is only a frame structure, the entire battery swapping station can be formed by installing a detachable protection plate 700 on the outside of the enclosure. When the battery temperature is too high, the battery can be directly removed from the battery swapping station by removing or pushing out the protection plate 700 from the inside, thereby improving the safety of the battery swapping station.

[0131] In alternative implementations, such as Figure 4-10 As shown, the bottom component 100 includes two support modules 20 located in the two battery storage areas 800 and an intermediate battery swapping module located in the intermediate battery swapping area 900. The intermediate battery swapping module and / or support module 20 are provided with connectors for connecting the intermediate battery swapping module between the two support modules 20. The support module 20 is used to support the charging rack 200.

[0132] The bottom component 100 is assembled from a support module and an intermediate battery swapping module via connectors. The support module and the intermediate battery swapping module can be formed simultaneously, facilitating rapid assembly and disassembly, which improves the assembly efficiency of the enclosure and the battery swapping station. Furthermore, because each module is independent, if a part of the bottom component 100 malfunctions or is damaged, only the damaged part needs to be replaced, without replacing the entire bottom component 100 of the battery swapping station.

[0133] As an illustrative embodiment, the intermediate battery swapping module includes a guide module and two positioning modules 30 located on the front and rear sides of the guide module. The guide module and / or the positioning modules 30 are provided with connectors for connecting the guide module to the two positioning modules 30. The guide module provides a movement area for the battery swapping trolley and guides its movement. The positioning modules 30 are used for positioning the vehicle.

[0134] The intermediate battery swapping module is assembled from a guide module 10 and a positioning module 30, facilitating rapid assembly and disassembly and improving the assembly efficiency of the enclosure and the battery swapping station. Furthermore, because each module is independent, if a part of the intermediate battery swapping module malfunctions or is damaged, only the damaged part needs to be replaced. For example, if one of the positioning modules 30 malfunctions, only the faulty positioning module 30 needs to be replaced, without needing to replace the entire bottom component 100 of the battery swapping station.

[0135] like Figure 4 As shown, two support modules 20 are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the guide module 10 along a first direction and are used to support the charging rack 200. Two positioning modules 30 are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the guide module 10 along a second direction different from the first direction and are used to position the electric vehicle. The two support modules 20 and the two positioning modules 30 are connected to the guide module via connectors. In an alternative embodiment, the first and second directions are perpendicular.

[0136] It should be noted that the aforementioned battery swapping trolley is used to transfer batteries between electric vehicles and battery transfer devices (such as palletizers or elevators), and the battery transfer device is used to transfer batteries between the charging rack 200 and the battery swapping trolley.

[0137] In alternative implementations, such as Figure 4-7 As shown, the guide module 10 includes at least two tracks extending parallel to each other along a first direction. The first track 101 is used to guide the movement of the battery swapping trolley, which helps ensure the reliability of the trolley's travel and operation.

[0138] In another optional embodiment, the guide module 10 includes a guide frame 102 consisting of at least two first crossbeams 103 extending in a first direction and at least two first longitudinal beams 104 extending in a second direction, with at least two first tracks 101 respectively disposed on the guide frame 102.

[0139] The guide module 10 has a simple structure. The first track 101 is set on the first crossbeam 103 without the need to occupy additional space to lay the first track 101. This helps to reduce the space occupied by the guide module 10, and in turn, reduces the space occupied by the bottom component 100, thus improving space utilization.

[0140] In another alternative embodiment, the guide module 10 has a central region located between two first crossbeams 103 and / or two first longitudinal beams 104, and the central region is provided with a panel 106.

[0141] The central area of ​​the bottom assembly 100 is sealed by the panel 106 to prevent it from being affected by the external environment, such as insects and rodents. In addition, the panel 106 can also provide a walking area when needed to facilitate maintenance or operation by operators.

[0142] Additionally, it should be noted that panel 106 can be a single piece of board or a combination of multiple sub-panels.

[0143] In another alternative embodiment, a foam filler (not shown) is provided beneath the panel 106 in the central region.

[0144] The foam filler can further seal the panel 106 to make it waterproof, which helps to improve safety and durability.

[0145] like Figure 4 and Figure 10 As shown, in another optional embodiment, the two positioning modules 30 are a front positioning module 301 located in front of the guide module 10 and a rear positioning module 302 located behind the guide module 10. The front positioning module 301 includes a front lifting platform 303 and a front lifting mechanism (not shown) located below the front lifting platform 303, which is used to drive the front lifting platform 303 to rise and fall. The rear positioning module 302 includes a rear lifting platform and a rear lifting mechanism located below the rear lifting platform, which is used to drive the rear lifting platform to rise and fall. In one embodiment, the two positioning modules 30 have the same structure. Figure 10 The diagram illustrates the structure of the front positioning module 301. The structures of the two positioning modules 30 can also be designed differently according to actual needs.

[0146] The lifting platform, under the action of the lifting mechanism, can be raised and lowered according to actual needs, thereby enabling electric vehicles to be raised and lowered, which is conducive to achieving reliable battery swapping for electric vehicles.

[0147] In another alternative implementation, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 10 It is understood that the front positioning module 301 also includes a first front wheel positioning device and a second front wheel positioning device disposed on the front lifting platform 303, and / or the rear positioning module 302 also includes a first rear wheel positioning device and a second rear wheel positioning device disposed on the rear lifting platform. The first front wheel positioning device, the second front wheel positioning device, the first rear wheel positioning device and the second rear wheel positioning device are respectively installed on the reserved holes 304 of the first front wheel positioning device, the reserved holes 304 of the second front wheel positioning device, the reserved holes 304 of the first rear wheel positioning device and the reserved holes 304 of the second rear wheel positioning device.

[0148] Among them, the first side front wheel positioning device, the first side rear wheel positioning device, the second side front wheel positioning device, and the second side rear wheel positioning device can reliably achieve the positioning of the front and rear wheels of the electric vehicle, thereby facilitating reliable battery swapping of the electric vehicle.

[0149] In another optional embodiment, the first front wheel alignment device, the second front wheel alignment device and / or the first rear wheel alignment device and the second rear wheel alignment device are movably disposed on the front positioning module 301 and / or the rear positioning module 302 along the first direction and / or the second direction.

[0150] The corresponding front wheel alignment device and rear wheel alignment device are made movable, and the distance between the corresponding alignment devices can be adjusted according to actual needs, so as to be applicable to different vehicle models and improve the applicability of the bottom component 100.

[0151] It should be noted that the front wheel alignment device and the rear wheel alignment device can adopt any existing structure that can achieve wheel alignment, which will not be elaborated here.

[0152] In another alternative implementation, such as Figure 6 As shown, the bottom component 100 also includes at least one extension module 40, which is detachably disposed between the guide module 10 and at least one of the positioning modules 30. Figure 6 The diagram schematically illustrates the connection between the expansion module 40 and the guide module 10.

[0153] When the expansion module 40 is positioned between the guide module 10 and the positioning module 30, it increases the distance between the front wheel alignment device and the rear wheel alignment device, making it suitable for battery swapping of longer electric vehicles. Therefore, this structural configuration can accommodate battery swapping for different vehicle models.

[0154] It should be noted that, as an illustrative embodiment, since the positioning module 30 is spliced ​​with the guide module 10, when the expansion module 40 needs to be set, the connection between the guide module 10 and the positioning module 30 needs to be disconnected, and then the expansion module 40 is installed between the positioning module 30 and the guide module 10.

[0155] Additionally, it should be noted that, depending on actual needs, an expansion module 40 can be provided between the positioning module 30 and the guide module 10 on one side, or expansion modules 40 can be provided between the positioning modules 30 and the guide module 10 on both sides, or multiple expansion modules 40 can be provided between the positioning module 30 and the guide module 10 on one side.

[0156] In another alternative implementation, such as Figure 6-9As shown, the guide module 10 has multiple first positioning parts 107 at positions for splicing with the two support modules 20 and the two positioning modules 30, and corresponding positions on the two support modules 20 and the two positioning modules 30 have second positioning parts 201 adapted to the first positioning parts 107. The first positioning parts 107 and the second positioning parts 201 both serve as connectors to facilitate quick assembly and connection of the support modules 20 and the positioning modules 30.

[0157] Each module is equipped with a corresponding connector, making the assembly of the modules convenient and reliable.

[0158] Reference Figure 6-9 It is understood that the first positioning part 107 includes a first positioning plate 108, and the second positioning part 201 includes a second positioning plate 202 that cooperates with the first positioning plate 108. The first positioning plate 108 and the second positioning plate 202 are detachably connected by a flange. This arrangement facilitates quick and reliable assembly and disassembly.

[0159] Alternatively, the first positioning plate 108 is also provided with a guide block 109, and the second positioning plate 202 is provided with a positioning groove 203 that matches the guide block 109. The cooperation between the guide block 109 and the positioning groove 203 facilitates more accurate positioning.

[0160] It should be noted that the first positioning part 107 and the second positioning part 201 can be configured with any positioning structure applicable to this application, depending on actual needs, and are not limited to the above-described structural forms. For example, the configurations of the first positioning part 107 and the second positioning part 201 can be interchanged. Furthermore, the first positioning part 107 and the second positioning part 201 primarily function as a connection between the support module 20 and the positioning module 30. The guide block 109 and the positioning groove 203 are configured for quick alignment during connection to achieve a positioning function. When alignment accuracy is not required or cost-saving is desired, the first positioning part 107 and the second positioning part 201 can also simply be connecting components with a connecting function.

[0161] like Figure 4-6 As shown, the first track 101 extends at least partially into the support module 20. This allows the battery swapping trolley to work in conjunction with the battery transfer device in the battery storage area, facilitating fast and reliable battery swapping.

[0162] like Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the support module 20 is a frame structure, including at least two second crossbeams 204 extending along a first direction and at least two second longitudinal beams 205 extending along a second direction. A vertically arranged charging rack 200 is also provided on the frame structure. The support module 20 has a relatively simple structure, facilitating rapid prototyping and thus promoting the rapid construction of the battery swapping station.

[0163] In an alternative embodiment, each of the two support modules 20 may be provided with another guide module, and each of the two support modules 20 may be provided with at least one charging rack 200, which is arranged along a first direction on one side of the other guide module. The other guide module is used to provide a movement area and guide the horizontally moving battery transfer device (such as a palletizer). The other guide module provides a movement area for the battery transfer device to move, facilitating battery transfer. Each other guide module includes a second track arranged along a second direction. The second track is used for the operation of the battery swapping trolley, which helps to ensure the travel and operational reliability of the battery transfer device.

[0164] As an illustrative embodiment, the support module 20 is constructed with at least two second crossbeams 204 extending along a first direction and at least two second longitudinal beams 205 extending along a second direction, wherein second tracks are respectively disposed on the second longitudinal beams 205. The support module 20 has a simple structure and is easy to rapidly mold. The second tracks are disposed on the second longitudinal beams 205 without requiring additional space to lay them, which helps reduce the space occupied by the other guide module, and consequently reduces the space occupied by the bottom component 100.

[0165] like Figure 11-13 As shown, the top assembly 500 includes a first top unit 501 located above the two battery storage areas 800 and a second top unit 512 located above the intermediate battery swapping area 900. The second top unit 512 is assembled and connected to the two first top units 501 respectively and is located between the two first top units 501.

[0166] The top component 500 has a simple structure, facilitating rapid assembly of the housing. Furthermore, the first top unit 501 and the second top unit 512 can be molded separately, further improving assembly efficiency.

[0167] In another optional embodiment, the first top unit 501 is a frame structure. The first top unit 501 frame structure has at least one first connecting beam 507 and at least one second connecting beam 508 in its plane. The first connecting beam 507 and the second connecting beam 508 are arranged intersecting or perpendicularly. The two ends of the first connecting beam 507 or the second connecting beam 508 are respectively connected to the top of the side component 600.

[0168] Among them, the first connecting beam 507 and the second connecting beam 508 can not only support other structural components, but also strengthen the frame of the top component 500. The first connecting beam 507 and the second connecting beam 508 combine multiple functions, which helps to simplify the structure of the box and the battery swapping station.

[0169] It should be noted that the structure of the first top unit 501 described above is only illustrative, and the actual structure of the first top unit 501 is not limited to the above-described structural form. For example, in other alternative embodiments, the first top unit 501 can be configured as a non-frame structure, such as a plate-like component.

[0170] like Figure 11-13 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the first connecting beam 507 and / or the second connecting beam 508 are provided with receiving grooves for accommodating wire harnesses along their respective length directions.

[0171] The wiring harness is housed within the frame of the top component 500, allowing it to be concealed at the top of the battery swapping station or energy storage station without occupying additional space, especially on the sides and bottom. This eliminates the need to obstruct internal structures and equipment, facilitating cable routing. Simultaneously, the first connecting beam 507 and the second connecting beam 508 serve multiple functions: supporting other structural components, reinforcing the frame of the top component 500, and housing the wiring harness. This multi-functional design simplifies the structure of the top component 500 and the battery swapping / energy storage station. Furthermore, the top placement of the wiring harness allows for expansion by adding additional enclosures and facilitates power supply to the upper enclosures.

[0172] In another optional embodiment, at least one first mounting portion is provided on the first connecting beam 507 and / or the second connecting beam 508, the first mounting portion being arranged facing upward and used to connect the protective plate 700 on the top surface of the box body.

[0173] The aforementioned structure allows for rapid installation of the top protective plate 700, facilitating quick assembly and production of the battery swapping station and improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the first connecting beam 507 and / or the second connecting beam 508 are connected to the top protective plate 700 via the first mounting part, reinforcing the protective plate 700 and the first connecting beam 507 and / or the second connecting beam 508, thus improving the reliability of the enclosure.

[0174] In alternative implementations, such as Figure 11-13 As shown, a support beam 502 can also be provided within the frame structure of the first top unit 501. The support beam 502 is intersected and connected to at least one of the first connecting beam 507 and the second connecting beam 508. The extension direction of the support beam 502 is the length direction of the support beam 502. Along the width direction of the support beam 502, the support beam 502 is provided with at least one spaced receiving groove 503. The receiving groove is provided with receiving holes (not shown) for wire harnesses to pass through at both ends along the length direction of the support beam 502.

[0175] The receiving slot 503 is located within the support beam 502, which helps protect the wire harness and prevents it from being damaged by other structural components during installation or operation. Furthermore, when there are multiple receiving slots, it not only facilitates more rational and reliable storage of the wire harness but also makes it easier to connect with other structural components at the bottom of the support beam 502.

[0176] In another alternative embodiment, along the width direction of the support beam 502, the support beam 502 is connected to at least one mounting portion which may be spaced apart, and the mounting portion is provided with a first connection structure for connecting and fixing the top protective plate 700.

[0177] The installation section and its first connecting structure enable rapid installation with the top protection plate 700, which is beneficial for the rapid assembly and production of battery swapping stations or energy storage stations and helps to improve the production cycle.

[0178] like Figure 11-13 As shown, the support beam 502 has at least one protrusion 505 spaced apart, and the mounting portion of the support beam 502 is located on the protrusion 505.

[0179] With the protrusion 505, the mounting part is located at a higher position, which facilitates quick installation with the top protective plate 700 without affecting the storage of the wire harness.

[0180] In another optional embodiment, the extension direction of the support beam 502 is the length direction of the support beam 502, and both sides of the support beam 502 have horizontal extensions 506 along the length direction of the support beam 502.

[0181] On the one hand, the horizontal extension 506 can improve the strength of the support beam 502; on the other hand, the horizontal extension 506 facilitates the connection between the support beam 502 and the external structural components.

[0182] In an optional embodiment, the support beam 502 is formed by bending sheet metal. Forming the support beam 502 by bending sheet metal is a simple and easy method, resulting in high strength and low cost.

[0183] like Figure 11-13 As shown, the top unit also includes a busbar 509, which is located within the frame structure and spaced apart from the support beam 502. This structural arrangement facilitates power connection to equipment inside the battery swapping station or energy storage station. The busbar 509 does not affect the normal storage of the wiring harness, and its presence also provides some restraint for the wiring harness.

[0184] like Figure 11 As shown, the second top unit 512 is used to mount the temperature control unit 513. Combined with... Figure 3It is understood that there are two charging compartments below the two top units, and a charging rack 200 is installed in the charging compartment. The temperature control unit 513 is located in the middle, which facilitates reliable temperature control and does not occupy the charging compartment space. More space can be used to store the battery pack in the charging compartment.

[0185] In an alternative embodiment, the top frame of the charging compartment has a groove to accommodate the end of the support beam 502. This arrangement strengthens the reliable connection between the charging compartment and the top assembly 500, thereby further improving the overall reliability of the battery swapping station and preventing the top assembly 500 from falling off the charging compartment under external forces. As an illustrative embodiment, the groove is provided on the side of the side assembly 600.

[0186] In another alternative embodiment, to better and more conveniently achieve the connection between the top assembly 500 and the side assembly 600, the end of the support beam 502 can be configured as a beveled structure, which can be implemented as a guide ramp 510 (in... Figure 13 (as shown in the figure), and the beveled structure is used to mate with the aforementioned groove.

[0187] In another alternative implementation, such as Figure 14 As shown, the side assembly 600 includes a top crossbeam 601 that runs through the two battery storage areas 800 and the intermediate battery swapping area 900, two bottom crossbeams 602 located in the two battery storage areas 800 respectively, and multiple columns 603 connecting the top crossbeam 601 and the bottom crossbeams 602; the multiple bottom crossbeams 602 are respectively connected to the bottom assembly 100, and the top crossbeam 601 is connected to the top assembly 500.

[0188] Among them, the side component 600 has a relatively simple structure and is easy to assemble. After the side component 600 is assembled separately, it is spliced ​​with other structural components to form a box, which can save a lot of scattered columns and other structures, and is conducive to improving the assembly efficiency of the box and the battery swapping station.

[0189] In another alternative implementation, such as Figure 14 As shown, the side assembly 600 has a reinforcing structure located at the top crossbeam 601. The reinforcing structure includes a reinforcing beam 604 disposed opposite to the top crossbeam 601 and a reinforcing member 605 connecting the reinforcing beam 604 and the top crossbeam 601. The reinforcing beam 604 may be disposed above the intermediate battery swapping area 900 only, or it may extend further into the battery storage area 800.

[0190] The aforementioned reinforcing structure is located at the top of the side assembly 600, featuring a simple structure that simplifies the overall enclosure design. The reinforcing structure is primarily positioned in the height and width directions of the side assembly 600, occupying minimal space in the thickness direction, thus minimizing its impact on the internal operational space of the battery storage area 800 and the intermediate battery swapping area 900.

[0191] It should be noted that the above structure resembles a truss structure, but it should be understood that this structure is only illustrative. In reality, any reinforcing structure suitable for this application will suffice. Additionally, as... Figure 14 As shown, the bottom crossbeam 602 does not extend into the area corresponding to the middle power swapping zone. This saves on materials while meeting strength requirements and does not affect the normal operation of the middle power swapping zone.

[0192] In another alternative embodiment, the column 603 is provided with at least one second mounting part, which is disposed facing the outside of the housing and is used to connect the protective plate 700 on the side of the housing.

[0193] The aforementioned structure (i.e., the second mounting part) enables rapid installation with the side protection plate 700, which facilitates rapid assembly and production, thereby improving production efficiency. Furthermore, the connection between the column 603 and the side protection plate 700 of the housing via the second mounting part also provides a degree of reinforcement for both the column 603 and the side protection plate 700.

[0194] In alternative implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, the enclosure also includes a protective plate 700, which is mounted on the top and sides of the enclosure. The protective plate 700 mounted on the top of the enclosure has at least one third mounting part adapted to the first mounting part; the protective plate 700 mounted on the side of the enclosure has at least one fourth mounting part adapted to the second mounting part. Through the cooperation of the first and third mounting parts, a quick and reliable connection is achieved between the protective plate 700 on the top of the enclosure and the first top unit 501. Through the cooperation of the second and fourth mounting parts, a reliable connection is achieved between the protective plate 700 and the top and sides of the enclosure. Accordingly, the overall enclosure can also be reinforced.

[0195] In this application, the battery swapping station is formed by an assembled enclosure frame. When expansion is needed, the expansion enclosure can be quickly extended and assembled along each expansion direction of the station, thereby conveniently and quickly increasing the battery capacity. Simultaneously, the unobstructed enclosure frame facilitates electrical connections after expansion and makes it easy to power on the expansion enclosure. Therefore, this battery swapping station has high scalability.

[0196] In this application, the battery swapping station is formed by assembling a box frame consisting of a bottom component 100, a top component 500, and a side component 600. When expansion is required, the expansion box can be quickly extended and assembled along each expansion direction of the battery swapping station, thereby conveniently and quickly expanding the battery capacity of the station. Simultaneously, the unobstructed box frame facilitates electrical connections after expansion and makes it easy to power on the expansion box. Therefore, this battery swapping station has high scalability.

[0197] The enclosure can be prefabricated with the bottom component 100, top component 500, and side components 600, and then the top component 500 and bottom component 100 are connected to the side components 600. Since the enclosure frame of this battery swapping station is assembled from individual modules, these modules can be assembled simultaneously, allowing for rapid prototyping and high construction efficiency. Furthermore, each module is assembled from individual components, which are relatively small in size. Surface treatments, such as electrophoresis, can be applied to these components beforehand, resulting in better surface treatment and improved corrosion resistance. Because the battery swapping station, including the enclosure, is assembled, space and locations for internal equipment and wiring can be reserved during construction according to actual needs, facilitating a rational layout of the internal structure and equipment. Since the enclosure is only a frame structure, a detachable protective plate 700 can be installed on the outside of the enclosure to form the entire battery swapping station. If the battery temperature is too high, the battery can be directly removed from the battery swapping station by removing or ejecting the protective plate 700 from the inside, thus improving the safety of the battery swapping station.

[0198] Example 2

[0199] This embodiment discloses an assembly method for a battery swapping station, which is the battery swapping station described in Embodiment 1 above. The same reference numerals in this embodiment refer to the same components as in Embodiment 1.

[0200] like Figure 15 As shown, the assembly method includes the following steps:

[0201] Step S100: Assemble the bottom component 100 and position it in the preset position;

[0202] Step S200: Install the two side components 600 to the front and rear sides of the bottom component 100 to form a frame structure of battery storage area 800 located at the left and right ends of the bottom component 100 and middle battery swapping area 900 in the middle of the two ends.

[0203] Step S300: Install the top component 500 on the upper part of the two side components 600.

[0204] In this assembly method, firstly, the battery swapping station is formed by assembling a box frame consisting of a bottom component 100, a top component 500, and side components 600. When expansion is needed, the expansion box can be quickly extended and assembled along each expansion direction of the battery swapping station, thereby conveniently and quickly expanding the battery capacity of the station. Simultaneously, because the box frame is unobstructed, it facilitates electrical connections after expansion and makes it easy to power on the expansion box, thus the battery swapping station has high scalability. Secondly, this assembly method first forms the bottom component 100, top component 500, and side components 600 separately, and then connects the top component 500, bottom component 100, and side components 600. Since the box frame of the battery swapping station is formed by assembling each module, and each module can be assembled simultaneously, the battery swapping station can be quickly formed, and the assembly efficiency of this method is high. Furthermore, each module is assembled from individual parts, and the size of each part is relatively small. Surface treatments, such as electrophoresis, can be performed on each part beforehand, resulting in better surface treatment and improved corrosion resistance of the battery swapping station. Furthermore, during assembly, the side component 600 supports the top component 500, thus facilitating the reliable installation of the top component 500. Third, since the battery swapping station is assembled, space and location for internal equipment and wiring can be reserved during construction according to actual needs, which is beneficial for the rational layout of the internal structure and equipment of the battery swapping station. Fourth, due to its frame structure, the entire battery swapping station can be formed by installing a detachable protective plate 700 on the outside of the enclosure. When the battery temperature is too high, the battery can be directly removed from the battery swapping station by removing or pushing out the protective plate 700 from the inside, thereby improving the safety of the battery swapping station.

[0205] In an optional embodiment, the bottom component 100 includes two support modules 20 located at the left and right ends and an intermediate power swapping module located between the two support modules 20. The intermediate power swapping module and / or the support modules 20 are provided with connectors so that the intermediate power swapping module can be connected between the two support modules.

[0206] Assembling the bottom component 100 and positioning it in a preset position also includes the following steps:

[0207] Assemble the intermediate battery swapping module;

[0208] The two support modules 20 are respectively installed at both ends of the middle battery swapping module along the left and right directions.

[0209] The bottom component 100 is connected to the intermediate battery swapping module and / or support module 20 via connectors. The support module 20 supports the battery rack. The intermediate battery swapping module and support module 20 can be molded separately, or even simultaneously, and then assembled, which improves assembly efficiency. Furthermore, if only a portion is damaged, such as a damaged support module 20, only that support module 20 can be replaced or maintained, without replacing the entire bottom component 100, thus reducing overall costs.

[0210] In another optional implementation, as an illustrative embodiment, the intermediate battery swapping module includes a guide module 10 for moving the battery swapping trolley and two positioning modules 30 located on its front and rear sides for positioning the electric vehicle. The guide module 10 and / or the positioning modules 30 are provided with connectors so that the guide module 10 is connected between the two positioning modules 30.

[0211] Assembling the intermediate battery swapping module also includes the following steps:

[0212] Assembly guide module 10;

[0213] Positioning modules 30 are installed at both ends of the guide module 10 along the front-back direction.

[0214] The intermediate battery swapping module includes a guide module 10 and a positioning module 30 assembled together. The guide module 10 and positioning module 30 can be molded separately, or even simultaneously. The assembly method is relatively simple and convenient, which helps to further improve the assembly efficiency of the battery swapping station. Furthermore, if only one module in the intermediate battery swapping module fails, only the corresponding module needs to be replaced, without replacing the entire bottom component 100, which helps to further reduce overall costs.

[0215] In another optional embodiment, the guide module 10 includes a guide frame 102 consisting of at least two crossbeams extending in the front-rear direction and at least two longitudinal beams extending in the front-rear direction.

[0216] Assemble the guide module 10, including the following steps:

[0217] The crossbeams and longitudinal beams are assembled to form the guide frame 102;

[0218] At least one guide rail is provided on each of the two crossbeams for the battery swapping trolley to travel on.

[0219] The guide module 10 has a relatively simple structure, facilitating rapid assembly. The guide rail surface facilitates the movement of the battery swapping trolley and also provides guidance. Furthermore, by directly installing the guide rail surface on the crossbeam, the need for a separate carrier for the guide rail surface is eliminated, simplifying the overall structure of the battery swapping station.

[0220] In another alternative embodiment, assembling the guide module 10 further includes the step of:

[0221] Panel 106 is laid in the first area formed between the two crossbeams;

[0222] Foam filling is performed in the first area, and the foam filling location is below panel 106.

[0223] The foam filling process helps to improve the sealing effect and strength of the panel 106, which in turn helps to improve the sealing effect and strength of the bottom component 100, making the bottom component 100 less susceptible to the influence of the external environment.

[0224] In another alternative embodiment, the positioning module 30 includes a lifting platform, a lifting mechanism located below the lifting platform, and a positioning mechanism located on the lifting platform.

[0225] Installing positioning modules 30 at both ends of the guide module 10 along the front-rear direction includes the following steps:

[0226] Install a lifting mechanism below the lifting platform;

[0227] Install a positioning mechanism on the lifting platform;

[0228] The positioning module 30 is installed at both ends of the guide module 10.

[0229] The positioning module 30 has a relatively simple structure, is easy to assemble, and can be formed relatively quickly. In addition, after the positioning module 30 is assembled, it is then assembled with the guide module 10, which is also easy to assemble, thus facilitating the rapid assembly of the battery swapping station and improving assembly efficiency.

[0230] In another alternative embodiment, the top assembly 500 includes a first top unit 501 corresponding to the battery storage area 800 and a second top unit 512 corresponding to the intermediate battery swapping area 900.

[0231] Installing the top component 500 on the upper part of both side components 600 includes the following steps:

[0232] Assemble the two first top units 501 corresponding to the two battery storage areas 800 respectively;

[0233] A second top unit 512 corresponding to the intermediate power swapping area 900 is installed between the two first top units 501;

[0234] Install the top component 500 onto the upper part of the two side components 600.

[0235] During assembly, the side components 600 support the top component 500, facilitating convenient and rapid assembly. Furthermore, the first top unit 501 and the second top unit 512 are individually formed, and the assembled top component 500 is then installed onto the side components 600, improving the overall assembly efficiency of the battery swapping station. Moreover, if only one of the first top unit 501 or the second top unit 512 in the top component 500 is damaged, only the corresponding first top unit 501 or second top unit 512 needs to be replaced, rather than replacing the entire top component 500, thus reducing the overall cost of the battery swapping station.

[0236] In other alternative embodiments, the two first top units 501 may be installed on the top of the battery storage area 800 first, and then the second top unit 512 may be installed between the two first top units 501.

[0237] In another alternative embodiment, the first top unit 501 includes a first connecting beam 507 and a second connecting beam 508 that intersects or is perpendicular to the first connecting beam 507.

[0238] The steps include assembling the two first top units 501 corresponding to the two battery storage areas 800 respectively:

[0239] A receiving groove for accommodating the wire harness is pre-set along the respective length direction on the first connecting beam 507 and / or the second connecting beam 508.

[0240] The first connecting beam 507 and the second connecting beam 508 are connected and fixed to form the first top unit 501.

[0241] In this design, the first top unit 501 has a simple structure, facilitating relatively quick assembly. Furthermore, the first connecting beam 507 and / or the second connecting beam 508 in the first top unit 501, in addition to providing support and reinforcement, also serve to store the wiring harness, integrating multiple functions and simplifying the structure of the battery swapping station.

[0242] It should be noted that, here, a portion of the first connecting beam 507 and / or the second connecting beam 508 can be regarded as the support beam 502 in Embodiment 1.

[0243] In another optional embodiment, as an illustrative example, the assembly method further includes assembling a side assembly 600, which includes a top crossbeam 601 penetrating the two battery storage areas 800 and the intermediate battery swapping area 900, two bottom crossbeams 602 located in the two battery storage areas 800 respectively, a plurality of columns 603 connecting the top crossbeam 601 and the bottom crossbeams 602, and a reinforcing structure.

[0244] Assembling the side assembly 600 includes the following steps:

[0245] The first ends of multiple columns 603 are connected to the top beam 601;

[0246] Connect the two bottom crossbeams 602 to the second end of the corresponding column 603;

[0247] A reinforcing structure is installed at the top crossbeam 601.

[0248] The side component 600 has a simple structure, facilitating rapid assembly. The reinforced structure reliably strengthens the side component 600 within a small space, thus providing better support. Furthermore, the structure of the side component 600 allows for easy connection to the top component 500 and the bottom component 100.

[0249] In another optional embodiment, the assembly method further includes:

[0250] A protective plate 700 is installed on the side and / or top of the battery swapping station and is detachably connected to the side and / or top.

[0251] The battery swapping station's frame is externally covered with a protective plate 700 to protect the station's interior. The plate features a detachable connection, allowing for convenient and quick connection and disassembly between the protective plate 700 and the frame. In case of emergencies, such as overheating of the battery pack, the easily removable protective plate 700 allows for rapid transfer of the battery pack to the outside of the frame. The protective plate is preferably made of heat-insulating materials.

[0252] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the protective plates on the outside of the battery storage area 800 and the outside of the intermediate battery swapping area 900 are made of the same material. In fact, in other alternative embodiments, the protective plates on the outside of the battery storage area 800 and the outside of the intermediate battery swapping area 900 can be made of materials with different material properties.

[0253] Additionally, it should be noted that the assembly method for the battery swapping station in this application mainly refers to the assembly of the external frame of the battery swapping station. As for other internal structures, including the temperature control unit, electrical control device, and specific settings of the battery swapping equipment, they can be installed by referring to the assembly methods in the prior art.

[0254] While specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that these are merely illustrative examples, and the scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the appended claims. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of the present invention, but all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
