After the electric vehicle is reliably positioned in the battery replacement station, the battery replacement equipment replaces the batteries of the electric vehicle. Specifically, the battery replacement trolley takes the batteries to be replaced on the electric vehicle and places them on the stacker, and then the stacker transports the batteries to be replaced to the charging rack. The stacker takes the new batteries charged on the charging rack and places them on the battery replacement trolley, and then the battery replacement trolley transports the new batteries to the predetermined position and mounts them on the electric vehicle.

[0125] 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.
[0126] This embodiment discloses a casing for a battery swapping station or energy storage station, such as... Figures 1-13 As shown, the enclosure is a frame structure and includes: a top assembly 500 located at the top of the enclosure; a bottom assembly 100 located at the bottom of the enclosure; and two battery charging rack assemblies 200 located at opposite ends of the enclosure, respectively connected to the top assembly 500 and the bottom assembly 100. Each battery charging rack assembly 200 includes at least one battery charging rack, which comprises a top frame, a bottom frame, at least two columns 2001 connecting the top and bottom frames, and a plurality of battery support racks 2002 arranged vertically between the top and bottom frames. The top frame is connected to the top assembly 500, and the bottom frame is connected to the bottom assembly 100.
[0127] In this embodiment, firstly, the battery swapping station or energy storage station is formed by assembling a box frame consisting of a bottom component 100, a top component 500, and a battery charging rack component 200. When expansion is required, the expansion box can be quickly extended and assembled along each expansion direction of the battery swapping station or energy storage station, thereby conveniently and quickly expanding the battery capacity of the battery swapping station or the storage space of the energy storage station. At the same time, 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 or energy storage station has high scalability.
[0128] Secondly, the box can be first formed into the bottom assembly 100, the top assembly 500 and the battery charging rack assembly 200 respectively, and then the battery charging rack assembly 200, the bottom assembly 100 and the top assembly 500 are connected. Since the bottom assembly 100, the top assembly 500 and the battery charging rack assembly 200 and other modules can be assembled simultaneously, the battery swap station or the energy storage station can be quickly formed and has high construction efficiency. Moreover, each module is assembled by each part, each part has relatively small size, and each part can be pre-processed, for example, by using electrophoresis, so that the surface treatment effect of each part is better, and the corrosion resistance of the battery swap station is improved.
[0129] Thirdly, since the battery swap station or the energy storage station containing the box is assembled and formed, the space and position of internal equipment and lines can be reserved according to actual needs when the battery swap station or the energy storage station is built, which is beneficial to the reasonable layout of internal structures and equipment in the battery swap station or the energy storage station.
[0130] Fourthly, since the box is only a frame structure, the protection plate 700 can be installed outside the box to form the whole battery swap station or energy storage station. When the temperature of the battery is too high, the battery or the internal contents can be directly removed from the inside or pushed out of the battery swap station by directly removing or pushing out the protection plate 700, so that the safety of the battery swap station or the energy storage station is improved.

The positions of the two battery charging rack assemblies correspond to the battery storage area 800. The battery storage area 800 and the battery swap area 900 are functional divisions of the area of the battery swap station.
[0133] The battery charging rack is not limited to the above structure, and in some embodiments, it can be replaced by any form of battery charging rack.
[0134] It should be noted that, Figure 1 and Figure 3The structure and quantity of the battery carrier 2002 are only schematically shown, and in practice, the specific structure and quantity of the battery carrier 2002 can be set arbitrarily according to actual requirements, on the basis of strength and space allowing.
[0135] In another optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 each battery charging rack assembly 200 includes two rows of battery charging racks arranged at intervals along a first direction, and the battery charging racks are connected and fixed with the top assembly 500 and the bottom assembly 100 respectively, and the first direction is the length direction or the width direction of the cabinet.
[0136] In the process of installing the top assembly 500, the battery charging rack assembly 200 plays a supporting role for the top assembly 500, and setting each battery charging rack assembly 200 to include two rows of battery charging racks is beneficial to improve the reliability of the support, is beneficial to improve the capacity of the battery pack, and is also beneficial to improve the space utilization of the cabinet.
[0137] In another optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 the battery charging rack assembly 200 further includes a first reinforcing support 600, and the first reinforcing support 600 is connected and arranged at intervals along the first direction between the two rows of battery charging racks.
[0138] In which, the battery charging rack plays a main supporting role, and the first reinforcing support 600 is additionally arranged between the two rows of battery charging racks, which is beneficial to ensure the strength in the transverse direction and is beneficial to realize reliable support, thereby being beneficial to ensure the stability of the cabinet.
[0139] The structure of the first reinforcing support 600 is not limited, for example, the first reinforcing support 600 can include at least one reinforcing rod, or include a reinforcing frame with a reinforcing rod and a reinforcing rib connected to the reinforcing rod. In practice, the first reinforcing support 600 can adopt any reinforcing structure suitable for this purpose.

[0173] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 10 In another optional embodiment, the two positioning modules 30 are respectively a front positioning module 301 located at the front side of the guide module 10 and a rear positioning module 302 located at the rear side of the guide module 10, the front positioning module 301 comprises a front lifting platform 303 and a front lifting mechanism (not shown in the figure) located below the front lifting platform 303, and the front lifting mechanism is used to drive the front lifting platform 303 to lift; the rear positioning module 302 comprises a rear lifting platform and a rear lifting mechanism located below the rear lifting platform, and the rear lifting mechanism is used to drive the rear lifting platform to lift. In one embodiment, the structures of the two positioning modules 30 are the same, Figure 10 The structure of the front positioning module 301 is shown schematically in the figure. The structures of the two positioning modules 30 can also be designed to be different according to actual needs.
[0174] Wherein, under the action of the lifting mechanism, the lifting platform can be lifted according to actual needs, so that the electric vehicle is lifted, which is beneficial to realize reliable battery replacement of the electric vehicle.

[0177] The corresponding front wheel positioning device and rear wheel positioning device are movably arranged, so that the distance between the corresponding positioning devices can be adjusted according to actual needs, thereby being applicable to different vehicle models and improving the application range of the bottom assembly 100.
[0178] It should be noted that the front wheel positioning device and the rear wheel positioning device can adopt any structure capable of positioning the wheels in the prior art, which will not be described here.

Therefore, by using the above structure, the battery replacement of different vehicle models can be adapted.
[0181] 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.
[0182] 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.
[0183] In another alternative implementation, such as Figures 6-9 As 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.
[0184] Each module is equipped with a corresponding connector, making the assembly of the modules convenient and reliable.
[0185] Reference Figures 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.

[0186] 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.
[0187] It should be noted that the first positioning part 107 and the second positioning part 201 can be set as any positioning structure that can be applicable according to actual needs, and are not limited to the above structure. For example, the first positioning part 107 and the second positioning part 201 can be set to be exchanged. In addition, the first positioning part 107 and the second positioning part 201 mainly realize the connection function between the support module 20 and the positioning module 30, and the guide block 109 and the positioning groove 203 are set to play a positioning function for quick alignment during connection. In the case of not requiring alignment accuracy or saving cost, the first positioning part 107 and the second positioning part 201 can also be only connectors with a connection function.
[0188] As shown in Figures 4-6 , the first track 101 at least partially extends into the support module 20. In this way, the battery replacement trolley can work with the battery transfer device in the battery storage area, facilitating quick and reliable battery replacement.
[0189] As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 8 , and Figure 9 , the support module 20 is a frame structure, including at least two second cross beams 204 extending in the first direction and at least two second longitudinal beams 205 extending in the second direction, and the frame structure is further provided with a vertically arranged battery charging rack assembly 200. The structure of the support module 20 is relatively simple, facilitating relatively fast molding, thereby facilitating the quick molding of the battery replacement station.
[0190] As an illustrative embodiment, the support module 20 is configured by at least two second cross beams 204 extending in the first direction and at least two second longitudinal beams 205 extending in the second direction, wherein the second track is arranged on the second longitudinal beam 205. The structure of the support module 20 is simple and facilitates quick molding. The second track is arranged on the second longitudinal beam 205 without occupying additional space to lay the second track, which is beneficial to reduce the space occupied by another guide module, thereby facilitating the reduction of the space occupied by the bottom assembly 100.
[0191] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the ends of the top assembly 500 and the bottom assembly 100 respectively extend beyond the outer edge of the battery charging rack assembly 200. The box further includes a plurality of support columns 300 connected between the top assembly 500 and the bottom assembly 100 at corresponding end positions of the top assembly 500 and the bottom assembly 100.
[0192] Among them, the support column 300 can further play a supporting role, facilitating the installation of a protective plate 700 outside the frame of the box. At the same time, by using the above structure, the connection of the top assembly 500, the bottom assembly 100 and the corresponding battery charging rack assembly 200 is also facilitated.
[0193] In another optional embodiment, the support column 300 is provided with at least one second mounting portion (not shown in the figure), which is arranged outward of the box body and is used to connect the protective plate 700 on the side surface of the box body.
[0194] The above structure can realize quick installation of the support column 300 and the side protective plate 700, which is conducive to quick assembly and production and improves production efficiency. In addition, the support column 300 is connected to the protective plate 700 on the side surface of the box body through the second mounting portion, which can also reinforce the support column 300 and the protective plate 700 on the side surface of the box body to a certain extent.
[0195] The box body further comprises the protective plate 700, which is mounted on the top surface and / or the side surface of the box body. The protective plate 700 mounted on the top surface of the box body is provided with at least one third mounting portion matched with the first mounting portion, and the protective plate 700 mounted on the side surface of the box body is provided with at least one fourth mounting portion matched with the second mounting portion.
[0196] The first mounting portion and the third mounting portion are matched to realize quick and reliable connection of the protective plate 700 on the top surface of the box body and the top unit 501, and the second mounting portion and the fourth mounting portion are matched to realize reliable connection of the protective plate 700 and the side surface of the box body. Accordingly, the entire box body can also be reinforced.
[0197] It should be noted that the first mounting portion, the second mounting portion, the third mounting portion and the fourth mounting portion in the present embodiment can be any mounting structure or connecting structure that can be applied to this purpose, as long as the connection between the corresponding two structural members can be realized.
[0198] When the box body is the box body of the battery swap station, as shown in Figures 1-3 and Figure 11 In another optional embodiment, the top assembly 500 further comprises a middle mounting area 512 between the two top units 501, which is arranged above the battery storage area 800 where the battery charging rack assembly 200 is located and is provided with a temperature regulating unit 513.
[0199] The temperature regulating unit 513 is arranged in the middle, which is convenient and reliable to regulate the temperature of the battery storage area 800 on both sides where the battery charging rack assembly 200 is located, which is conducive to improving the energy utilization rate.
[0200] As shown in Figures 1-10As shown, the bottom assembly 100 further comprises a guide module 10 and two positioning modules 30 arranged at the bottom of the battery replacement area 900. The guide module 10 is arranged between the two support modules 20 for the battery replacement equipment to travel, and the two positioning modules 30 are arranged at different sides of the guide module 10 and the two support modules 20. The guide module 10 and / or the positioning module 30 are provided with connecting members for connecting the guide module 10 between the two positioning modules 30, and the guide module 10 and / or the support module 20 are provided with connecting members for connecting the guide module 10 between the two support modules 20.
[0201] The bottom assembly 100 is assembled by the support module 20, the guide module 10 and the positioning module 30 through the connecting members. The support module 20, the guide module 10 and the positioning module 30 can be formed simultaneously, which facilitates quick assembly and disassembly, and is conducive to improving the assembly efficiency of the box body and the battery replacement station. At the same time, due to the independence of each module, when a part of the bottom assembly 100 fails or is damaged, only the corresponding damaged part needs to be replaced, for example, if one of the positioning modules 30 fails, only the failed positioning module 30 needs to be replaced, without the need to replace the entire bottom assembly 100 of the battery replacement station, which is conducive to reducing the overall construction cost.
[0202] The above-mentioned box body can also be applied to an energy storage station, but the energy storage station does not include the above-mentioned battery replacement area 900.
[0203] In the present application, first, the battery replacement station or the energy storage station is formed by the box body frame assembled by the bottom assembly 100, the top assembly 500 and the battery charging rack assembly 200. When expansion is needed, the expandable box body can be quickly extended and assembled along each expandable direction of the battery replacement station or the energy storage station, so that the battery capacity of the battery replacement station or the storage space of the energy storage station can be conveniently and quickly expanded. At the same time, since the box body frame is not blocked and facilitates electrical connection after expansion, the expandable box body is easy to power on, so that the expandability of the battery replacement station or the energy storage station is high.
[0204] Second, the box body can be formed by first forming the bottom assembly 100, the top assembly 500 and the battery charging rack assembly 200 respectively, and then connecting the battery charging rack assembly 200, the bottom assembly 100 and the top assembly 500. Since each module such as the bottom assembly 100, the top assembly 500 and the battery charging rack assembly 200 can be assembled simultaneously, the battery replacement station or the energy storage station can be quickly formed and has high construction efficiency. Since each module is assembled by each part, the size of each part is relatively small, and the surface of each part can be pretreated, for example, by using electrophoresis, so that the surface treatment effect of each part is better and the corrosion resistance of the battery replacement station is improved.
[0205] Thirdly, since the battery swap station or energy storage station containing the box is assembled, the space and position of the internal equipment and lines can be reserved according to actual needs when the battery swap station or energy storage station is built, which is beneficial to the reasonable layout of the internal structure and equipment of the battery swap station or energy storage station.
[0206] Fourthly, since the box is only a frame structure, the overall battery swap station or energy storage station can be formed by installing the detachable protective plate 700 outside the box. When the temperature of the battery is too high, the battery or the internal contents can be directly removed from the battery swap station by directly removing or ejecting the protective plate 700 from the inside, thereby improving the safety of the battery swap station or energy storage station.
[0207] Although the specific embodiments of the present application are described above, those skilled in the art should understand that this is only an example, and the protection scope of the present application 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 application, and these changes and modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present application.
