[0002] The battery swap station is used to replace batteries in electric vehicles. After the electric vehicle enters the battery swap station and is reliably positioned, the battery swap equipment will replace the electric vehicle. Specifically, the battery swap cart removes the battery to be replaced from the electric vehicle and places it on the palletizer, which then transports the battery to be replaced to the charging rack; the palletizer takes the charged new battery from the charging rack and places it on the battery swap cart, which then transports the new battery to the predetermined location and installs it on the electric vehicle.

[0003] At present, battery swap stations are generally of integral container structure. For example, the patent application with publication number CN107503531A discloses a container battery swap station, which uses a container as a box frame, and transforms and installs equipment inside the box frame to achieve the battery swap function. The flexibility of this structure of battery swap station is poor. Due to the integrity of the box frame, its scalability is insufficient. In addition, it is difficult to repair the container by simply replacing parts after it is partially damaged, and the repair cost is high. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of insufficient structural scalability and high maintenance cost of battery swap stations in the prior art, and to provide a frame assembly, a battery swap station or an energy storage station, and an assembly method of the frame assembly.

According to the angle between the two connecting beams, an adapter with connecting pieces with different extension directions can be selected to facilitate installation and stable connection, so that the fixation between two connecting beams at any angle can be satisfied, thereby realizing the rapid construction of the box frame of the battery swap station. At the same time, this frame assembly provides the possibility and convenience of expansion of the box frame of the battery swap station in different directions. In addition, since the box frame of the battery swap station is assembled from frame assemblies, etc., when the box frame of the battery swap station is partially damaged, the frame assemblies, etc. can be disassembled and the damaged parts can be replaced, which can improve the maintenance convenience of the battery swap station and reduce the maintenance cost.

[0024] In this solution, the adapter can be conveniently fixed to the first connecting beam through the first connecting plate, which also facilitates the positioning of the adapter. The connecting slot is formed by two positioning plates. The adapter is an integrated sheet metal part, which is easy to form and saves costs. The sheet-shaped positioning plate is easy to rivet.

[0026] In this solution, the end plane of the second connecting beam cooperates with the first connecting beam, which is conducive to the stable connection between the two connecting beams. The positioning piece cooperates with the second connecting beam, so that the fixation of the second connecting beam is relatively stable.

[0027] Preferably, the second connecting beam and the second connecting plate and / or the second connecting beam and the positioning plate are connected by self-piercing riveting or rivet-free connection.

[0028] In this solution, it is more convenient to use self-piercing riveting or rivet-free connection, which is convenient for on-site construction, and this connection method is reliable and conducive to a stable connection between the first connecting beam and the second connecting beam.

[0029] Preferably, the adapter has a first connecting piece extending along the first direction, and a second connecting piece extending along the second direction, the first connecting piece is provided with a first reinforcing rib extending along the first direction, and / or the second connecting piece is provided with a second reinforcing rib extending along the second direction.

[0030] In this solution, the first reinforcing rib can improve the strength of the first connecting piece, thereby improving the load-bearing and impact resistance of the first connecting piece, especially for loads perpendicular to the first direction; similarly, the second reinforcing rib can also improve the strength of the second connecting piece.

[0031] Preferably, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0033] Preferably, one or more of the following connection methods are used between the first connecting beam and the adapter, and between the second connecting beam and the adapter: riveting, welding, bonding, and bolt connection.

[0034] In this solution, the connection method between the first connection beam and the adapter, and the connection method between the second connection beam and the adapter can be the same, or different connection methods can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0035] A battery swap station or energy storage station, comprising the above frame assembly.

[0036] In this solution, the main body of the battery swap station or energy storage station is a frame structure, which is constructed by multiple connecting beams and is constructed using the above-mentioned frame components.

[0068] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the frame assembly includes: a first connecting beam 1, a second connecting beam 2 and an adapter 3, wherein the first connecting beam 1 extends along a first direction, the second connecting beam 2 extends along a second direction, the first direction and the second direction form an angle, and the adapter 3 includes a first connecting piece 31 extending along the first direction and a second connecting piece 32 extending along the second direction, the first connecting piece 31 is fixed on the first connecting beam 1, and the second connecting piece 32 is fixed to the end of the second connecting beam 2.

[0069] The first connecting beam 1 and the second connecting beam 2 extend in different directions, and the two are connected by an adapter 3, wherein the first connecting piece 31 is fixed relative to the first connecting beam 1 in the same extension direction as the first connecting beam 1, and the second connecting piece 32 is fixed relative to the second connecting beam 2 in the same extension direction as the first connecting beam 2, thereby realizing the connection between the connecting beams in different extension directions. According to the angle between the two connecting beams, an adapter 3 with two connecting pieces forming corresponding angles can be selected to facilitate installation and stable connection, so that the fixation between the two connecting beams at any angle can be satisfied, thereby realizing the rapid construction of the battery swap station and making the structure of the battery swap station more stable. At the same time, this frame assembly provides the possibility and convenience of expansion for the battery swap station box frame in different directions. In addition, since the battery swap station box frame is assembled by frame assemblies, etc., when the battery swap station box frame is partially damaged, the frame assemblies, etc. can be disassembled and the damaged parts can be replaced, which can improve the maintenance convenience of the battery swap station and reduce the maintenance cost. It can be understood that the above-mentioned frame assembly can also be applied to the construction of energy storage stations.

[0070] The second connecting beam 2 has a hollow inner cavity 21, and an opening communicating with the hollow inner cavity 21 is formed at the end of the second connecting beam 2, and the second connecting piece 32 is at least partially inserted into the hollow inner cavity 21 through the opening. The second connecting piece 32 is inserted into the interior of the second connecting beam 2, and the connection reliability is high. Before the second connecting piece 32 and the second connecting beam 2 are completely fixed, simple positioning between the two can be achieved, which is convenient when building the frame. In other preferred embodiments, the second connecting piece 32 can also be connected to the second connecting beam 2 on the outside of the second connecting beam 2.

[0071] like Figure 5 As shown, the second connecting beam 2 has a groove 22 that runs through the axis, and the second connecting piece 32 is cooperatively arranged in the groove 22. The shapes of the groove 22 and the second connecting piece 32 are relatively close, which is convenient for positioning. The gap between the groove 22 and the second connecting piece 32 in the thickness direction of the second connecting piece 32 is small, and it is not easy to shake. More preferably, the thickness and width of the second connecting piece 32 are adapted to the internal dimensions of the groove 22, wherein the thickness of the second connecting piece 32 is preferably less than 3 mm. In other embodiments, the second connecting beam 2 can also be a hollow square tube, and the second connecting piece 32 can be fitted on the inner wall of the hollow square tube.

[0072] like Figure 3 As shown, the adapter 3 has a socket 34 for the second connecting beam 2 to be plugged in, and the second connecting piece 32 extends outward from the socket 34. The socket 34 is formed by the adapter 3, and the side of the adapter 3 different from the socket 34 can be connected to the side of the first connecting beam 1, especially suitable for the first connecting beam 1 with a flat side. In the process of inserting the second connecting piece 32 into the second connecting beam 2, the socket 34 can assist in positioning the second connecting beam 2. When the second connecting piece 32 is fully inserted into the interior of the second connecting beam 2, the second connecting beam 2 is partially inserted into the socket 34.

[0073] The adapter 3 includes two oppositely arranged positioning pieces 33, the positioning pieces 33 extend along the second direction, and the interval between the two positioning pieces 33 constitutes a connection slot 34. The connection slot 34 is formed by the two positioning pieces 33. Preferably, the adapter 3 can be an integrally formed sheet metal part, which is convenient to form and saves costs, and the sheet-shaped positioning pieces 33 are easy to rivet.

[0074] The end plane of the second connecting beam 2 is parallel to the first direction, so that the end plane of the second connecting beam 2 fits with the first connecting beam 1 or the first connecting piece 31. The end plane of the second connecting beam 2 fits with the first connecting beam 1, which is conducive to the positioning and stable connection of the first connecting beam 1 and the second connecting beam 2. In addition, the positioning piece 33 cooperates with the second connecting beam 2, so that the fixation of the second connecting beam 2 is more stable.

[0075] See also Figure 3As shown, the first connecting piece 31 is provided with a first reinforcing rib extending along the first direction, and the second connecting piece 32 is provided with a second reinforcing rib 321 extending along the second direction. The first reinforcing rib can improve the strength of the first connecting piece 31, thereby improving the bearing and impact resistance of the first connecting piece 31, especially for loads perpendicular to the first direction; similarly, the second reinforcing rib 321 can also improve the strength of the second connecting piece 32.

[0076] As a preferred embodiment, the edge of the first reinforcing rib has a first bending portion, which constitutes the first reinforcing rib. In addition, the edge of the second reinforcing rib 321 has a second bending portion, which constitutes the second reinforcing rib 321. The first bending portion and the second bending portion are formed on the edges of the first reinforcing rib and the second reinforcing rib 321, which improves the strength and prevents the edges from cutting hands, thereby improving the safety of the adapter 3.

[0077] In this embodiment, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, and the first connecting beam 1 and the second connecting beam 2 are connected perpendicularly to each other, which is suitable for most construction needs. The first direction and the second direction can also be formed at other angles, generally between 45-90 degrees, to meet different construction needs. Accordingly, the end of the second connecting beam 2 is also trimmed to a corresponding angle so that the end plane of the second connecting beam 2 can fit the first connecting piece 31 or the side of the first connecting beam 1.

[0078] One or more of the following connection methods are used between the first connecting beam 1 and the adapter 3, and between the second connecting beam 2 and the adapter 3: riveting, welding, bonding, and bolt connection. Preferably, the second connecting beam 2 and the second connecting plate 32 are connected by self-piercing riveting or rivet-free connection. It is convenient to use self-piercing riveting or rivet-free connection, which is convenient for on-site construction, and the connection method is reliable, which is conducive to the stable connection between the first connecting beam and the second connecting beam, and is conducive to increasing the shear resistance at the connection between the first connecting beam and the second connecting beam. The connection method between the first connecting beam 1 and the adapter 3, and the connection method between the second connecting beam 2 and the adapter 3 can be the same, or different connection methods can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0079] Example 2

[0080] This embodiment provides a frame assembly, which is basically the same as the frame assembly of embodiment 1, except that in this embodiment, Figure 6As shown, the side of the first connecting beam 1 is provided with a connecting groove 11 for the second connecting beam 2 to be inserted and matched, and the adapter 3 is at least partially arranged in the connecting groove 11. Specifically, the first surface of the first connecting beam 1 is provided with two connecting plates 12 extending in the second direction opposite to each other, and the connecting groove 11 for the second connecting beam 2 to be inserted and matched is formed between the two connecting plates 12; the connecting plate is located in the connecting groove and fixed to the first surface of the first connecting beam 1. The second connecting beam 2 can be inserted into the connecting groove 11, the bottom surface of the connecting groove 11 faces the direction of the second connecting beam 2, the end of the second connecting beam 2 can touch the bottom surface of the connecting groove 11, and the two side walls of the connecting groove 11 (i.e., the connecting plates 12) can be matched with the outer side walls of the second connecting beam 2, so as to facilitate the positioning of the second connecting beam 2 and consolidate the connection between the first connecting beam 1 and the second connecting beam 2. Moreover, the connecting groove 11 also facilitates the positioning between the first connecting beam 1 and the adapter 3.

[0081] The side of the first connecting beam 1 has two connecting plates 12 arranged opposite to each other, and the space between the two connecting plates 12 constitutes a connecting groove 11. In this embodiment, the first connecting beam 1 can be an I-beam, so two positioning plates 12 can be provided on the same outer side of the first connecting beam 1 to accommodate the adapter 3 and the end of the second connecting beam 2. In addition, the connecting groove 11 can also be formed by processing (for example, cutting) the first side of the first connecting beam 1. The connecting groove 11 formed in this way can be only provided in a part of the first connecting beam 1 (for example, the position for connecting with the second connecting beam 2), that is, the connecting groove 11 may not run through the entire extension direction of the first connecting beam 1.

[0082] In this embodiment, the adapter 3 may have only one connecting piece 35 − extending along the second direction, and the second connecting beam 2 is connected to the adapter 3 via the connecting piece 35 .

[0083] It can be understood that the frame assembly in Example 2 and the frame assembly in Example 1 can be simultaneously applied to different locations of the same frame structure or the same battery swap station or energy storage station.

[0087] The end surface of the second connecting beam 2 is abutted against the first surface, and the connecting piece 35 is inserted into the inner cavity 21 of the second connecting beam 2 to connect and fix.

[0088] The assembly method enables the connection of two connecting beams with different extension directions, and is convenient for positioning during installation and reliable for connection, thus facilitating rapid construction of frame components, especially large assembly structures.

[0089] As a preferred embodiment, the connecting piece is inserted into the inner cavity of the second connecting beam for connection and fixation, including fixing the connecting piece to the end of the second connecting beam by self-riveting or rivet-free connection.

[0090] The connecting piece 35 is inserted into the second connecting beam 2, and the connection reliability is high. Before the connecting piece 35 and the second connecting beam 2 are completely fixed, simple positioning between the two can be achieved, which is convenient when building the frame. The construction using self-riveting or rivet-free connection is convenient and the fixation is reliable.
