Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery swap stations, and in particular to an air conditioning device for a battery swap station and a battery swap station. Background Art

[0002] With the progress of science and technology and the development of society, various types of new energy vehicles, such as pure electric vehicles, are increasingly widely used. Due to the restrictions on charging time and location, many new energy electric vehicles are gradually adopting the quick-change mode (i.e., the mode of quickly replacing batteries) for energy replenishment. The exhausted batteries replaced on electric vehicles need to be charged in the battery swap station. In order to ensure that the temperature in the battery compartment of the battery swap station is appropriate, the battery swap station is equipped with a battery swap station air-conditioning device. However, the battery swap station air-conditioning device of the traditional battery swap station has the following problems during use: the refrigeration air conditioner and the heat dissipation fan of the current battery swap station are separately arranged and directly placed on the top of the charging compartment of the battery swap station. For example, in an equipment installation platform and a charging and swapping compartment disclosed in the invention patent with the authorization announcement number CN212921160U, an air-conditioning room is arranged above the charging room of the battery swap station, and the air conditioner is installed above the charging room. The arrangement of this air conditioner and fan occupies a large installation space of the charging compartment, and also causes the top of the charging compartment to be partially compressed and deformed, and then concave and water-accumulated, which easily leads to water ingress into the charging compartment, causing economic losses. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of unreasonable air conditioning and fan settings in battery swap stations in the prior art, and to provide an air conditioning device for a battery swap station and a battery swap station.

[0006] In this solution, the air conditioner and the fan are integrated and installed in the frame to achieve modularization, which is convenient for quick assembly with the battery swap station compartment. The weight of the air conditioner and the fan is borne by the frame, and there is no need to place them directly on the top of the battery swap station compartment. This can save the installation space of the battery swap station compartment and improve the space utilization rate of the battery swap station compartment. It will not cause the top of the battery swap station compartment to sink and accumulate water, and can effectively avoid water leakage in the battery swap station compartment and cause economic losses. In addition, a waterproof seal is provided between the ventilation duct and the frame to prevent water from flowing into the battery swap station compartment through the ventilation duct, which can further improve the waterproof effect and ensure the safe and reliable operation of the battery swap station compartment. In addition, the frame of the above-mentioned battery swap station air conditioning device is arranged above the driving channel, so that the battery swap station air conditioning device and the top of the battery swap station compartment next to the driving channel jointly form the top structure of the battery swap station, and the lower surface of the battery swap station air conditioning device forms the roof of the driving channel, which can shield the driving channel below to avoid sun and rain, and help improve the user's battery swap experience.

[0007] In one embodiment, the waterproof seal includes: a first water retaining member, a second water retaining member and a first sealing ring, the first water retaining member is connected to the frame, the second water retaining member is connected to the ventilation duct located on the inner side of the frame, and the first sealing ring is arranged between the first water retaining member and the second water retaining member.

[0008] In this solution, the first water retaining member and the second water retaining member are respectively connected to the frame and the air duct located on the inner side of the frame, and a first sealing ring is arranged between the first water retaining member and the second water retaining member, thereby forming a waterproof seal between the frame and the ventilation duct located on the inner side of the frame to seal the gap between the frame and the ventilation duct, thereby preventing water from flowing into the compartment of the battery swap station through the gap between the frame and the ventilation duct.

[0009] In one of the embodiments, a drainage groove is formed between the first water retaining member and the frame.

[0010] In this solution, a drainage groove is formed between the first water retaining member and the frame, and rainwater falling into the drainage groove can flow out from both sides of the first water retaining member without water accumulation or leakage.

[0064] Please also see Figures 1 to 4, this embodiment discloses a battery swap station 10, which includes a battery swap station air conditioning device 20 and two battery swap station chambers 30, the two battery swap station chambers 30 are arranged at intervals, and the two ends of the battery swap station air conditioning device 20 are respectively connected to the top side of the two battery swap station chambers 30, and a driving channel 40 is formed below the battery swap station air conditioning device 20 and between the two battery swap station chambers 30, and the driving channel 40 is used for vehicles to enter to perform battery swap operations. The battery swap station chamber 30 is preferably a charging chamber, which is used to store the replaced batteries and charge the batteries. At the same time, it also forms a storage space for the batteries, which is convenient for the implementation of rapid battery swap operations. The specific layout and structure of the battery swap station chamber 30 can refer to the prior art, and the details are not repeated here. The function of the battery swap station air conditioning device 20 is to adjust the temperature of the battery swap station chamber 30 to control the battery swap station chamber 30 within a suitable temperature range to improve safety. In other embodiments, the battery swap station chamber 30 in the battery swap station 10 can also be replaced with a functional room that can realize other functions.

[0065] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an air conditioning device 20 for a battery swap station in an embodiment includes an air conditioner 21, a fan 22, a frame 23 and a waterproof seal. The frame 23 has a cavity, and the air conditioner 21 and the fan 22 are both installed in the cavity. The frame 23 is arranged above the driving lane of the battery swap station 10, and the frame 23 is connected to the battery swap station compartment 30 beside the driving lane. The ventilation ducts of the air conditioner 21 and the fan 22 extend into the battery swap station compartment 30 through the frame 23 respectively. The waterproof seal is arranged between the ventilation duct and the frame 23, and the waterproof seal is configured to prevent water from flowing into the battery swap station compartment 30 through the ventilation duct.

[0066] Specifically, the ventilation duct of the air conditioner 21 includes an air inlet duct 211 (for supplying air to the battery swap station compartment 30) and a return air duct 212, and the ventilation duct of the fan 22 includes a hot air duct 221. In one embodiment, the air inlet duct 211, the return air duct 212 and the hot air duct 221 are all formed by connecting a plurality of air ducts. The air inlet duct, the return air duct and the hot air duct can be split into a plurality of smaller air ducts for transportation during transportation, which is convenient for transportation. Furthermore, at least one end of the air duct has a connecting portion, which is used for connecting adjacent air ducts and / or connecting the air duct to the external frame 23. Adjacent air ducts and the air duct to the external frame are connected by the connecting portion at the end of the air duct, and the connection reliability is high. Furthermore, in one embodiment, the connecting portion includes a bending portion extending outward from the end edge of the air duct along a direction perpendicular to the surface of the air duct, and the bending portions of adjacent air ducts are fixedly connected. The bending portion is a folded edge structure formed by bending the edge of the air duct outward. The bending portions of adjacent air ducts can be fixedly connected by, but not limited to, fasteners such as bolts and nuts, and the connection is stable and reliable and easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0067] In this solution, the air conditioner 21 and the fan 22 are integrated and installed in the frame 23 to achieve modularization, which is convenient for quick assembly with the battery swap station compartment 30. The weight of the air conditioner 21 and the fan 22 is borne by the frame 23, and there is no need to place them directly on the top of the battery swap station compartment 30. This can save the installation space of the battery swap station compartment 30 and improve the space utilization rate of the battery swap station compartment 30. It will not cause the top of the battery swap station compartment 30 to sink and accumulate water, and can effectively avoid water leakage in the battery swap station compartment 30 and cause economic losses. In addition, a waterproof seal is provided between the ventilation duct and the frame 23 to prevent water from flowing into the battery swap station compartment 30 through the ventilation duct, which can further improve the waterproof effect and ensure the safe and reliable operation of the battery swap station compartment 30. In addition, the frame 23 of the above-mentioned battery swap station air-conditioning device 20 is arranged above the driving passage 40, so that the battery swap station air-conditioning device 20 and the top of the battery swap station compartment 30 next to the driving passage 40 together form the top structure of the battery swap station 10, and the lower surface of the battery swap station air-conditioning device 20 forms the roof of the driving passage 40, which can provide shade for the driving passage 40 below to avoid sun and rain, thereby helping to improve the user's battery swap experience.

[0068] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the waterproof seal includes: a first water retaining member 241, a second water retaining member 242 and a first sealing ring 243. The first water retaining member 241 is connected to the frame 23, the second water retaining member 242 is connected to the ventilation duct located on the inner side of the frame 23, and the first sealing ring 243 is arranged between the first water retaining member 241 and the second water retaining member 242.

[0069] In this embodiment, the first water retaining member 241 and the second water retaining member 242 are respectively connected to the frame 23 and the air duct of the ventilation duct located on the inner side of the frame 23, and a first sealing ring 243 is arranged between the first water retaining member 241 and the second water retaining member 242, so as to form a waterproof seal between the frame 23 and the air duct of the ventilation duct located on the inner side of the frame 23 to seal the gap between the frame 23 and the air duct, thereby preventing water from flowing into the battery swap station chamber 30 through the gap between the frame 23 and the air duct.

[0070] Specifically, the first water retaining member 241 and the second water retaining member 242 are both L-shaped flanges, and the two L-shaped flanges are respectively connected by welding with the corresponding frame 23 and the air duct of the ventilation duct located inside the frame 23, which can ensure that the two L-shaped flanges are installed stably and reliably, and can ensure the sealing performance of the connection, so as to avoid leakage at the connection between the first water retaining member 241 and the frame 23 and the connection between the second water retaining member 242 and the air duct. Further, a drainage groove is formed between the L-shaped flange of the first water retaining member 241 and the frame 23, and rainwater falling in the drainage groove can flow out from both sides of the L-shaped flange, and no water accumulation or leakage will occur. At the same time, the L-shaped flange of the second water retaining member 242 directly blocks rainwater on its outside, so that rainwater flows out directly from both sides of the L-shaped flange and both sides of the air duct, and no water accumulation will occur between the second water retaining member 242 and the air duct. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the two L-shaped flanges are arranged opposite to each other to form an installation gap between the two L-shaped flanges, and the first sealing ring 243 is arranged in the installation gap to seal the installation gap to ensure that rainwater does not flow into the air duct from between the two L-shaped flanges.

[0071] In one embodiment, the waterproof seal also includes an inner lining flange 244, which passes through the frame 23 of the air conditioning device 20 of the battery swap station, and the two ends of the inner lining flange 244 are respectively connected to the ventilation ducts on both sides of the frame 23, and the inner lining flange 244 is respectively abutted against the first water retaining member 241 and the second water retaining member 242.

[0072] In this embodiment, the lining flange 244 passes through the frame 23 of the air-conditioning device 20 of the battery swap station and is respectively connected to the air ducts of the ventilation ducts on both sides of the frame 23 to connect the air ducts of the ventilation ducts on both sides of the frame 23. The outer surface of the lining flange 244 is respectively abutted against the inner surfaces of the two L-shaped flanges serving as the first water retaining member 241 and the second water retaining member 242, so that the lining flange 244 can further form a seal at the bottom of the two L-shaped flanges, further improving the waterproof effect.

[0073] In one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the lining flange 244 has a first folded edge 2441 and a second folded edge 2442. The first folded edge 2441 is formed by extending the edge of the lining flange 244 outward, and the second folded edge 2442 is formed by extending the edge of the lining flange 244 inward. The first folded edge 2441 abuts against the frame 23, and the first folded edge 2441 is connected to the ventilation duct on the outside of the frame 23, and the second folded edge 2442 is connected to the ventilation duct on the inside of the frame 23.

[0074] In this embodiment, the lining flange 244 is connected to the air ducts of the ventilation ducts on the outside and inside of the corresponding frame 23 through the first folded edge 2441 and the second folded edge 2442 respectively. The first folded edge 2441 is connected to the bent portion of the air duct of the ventilation duct on the outside of the frame 23 through fasteners, and the second folded edge 2442 is connected to the bent portion of the air duct of the ventilation duct on the inside of the frame 23 through fasteners. The connection between the lining flange 244 and the air ducts of the ventilation ducts on both sides is stable and reliable. At the same time, the first folded edge 2441 is formed by extending outward from the edge of the lining flange 244. Even if the first sealing ring 243 is aged or falls off, and water enters between the lining flange 244 and the frame 23 from the installation gap, the first folded edge 2441 can also block the infiltrated water on the outside to ensure that the water does not flow into the battery swap station compartment 30.

[0075] In one embodiment, the waterproof seal further includes a second sealing ring, which is arranged between the second folded edge 2442 and the ventilation duct on the inner side of the frame 23.

[0076] Specifically, the second sealing ring is arranged between the second folded edge 2442 and the bent portion of the air duct of the ventilation duct inside the frame 23. If water seeps into the installation gap between the two L-shaped flanges, the second sealing ring can block the seeped water to prevent the seeped water from flowing into the ventilation duct, further improving the sealing and waterproof effect. Of course, in other embodiments, if the second folded edge 2442 and the bent portion of the air duct of the ventilation duct inside the frame 23 are tightly abutted enough, the second sealing ring may not be arranged, and this embodiment does not make any specific limitation.

[0077] In one embodiment, an extension portion (not shown) is provided on the housing of the fan 22, and the width of the extension portion is not less than the thickness of the ventilation duct.

[0078] Specifically, the edge of the outer shell of the fan 22 extends outward to form an extension portion, and the width of the extension portion is not less than the thickness of the air duct of the ventilation duct. After the air duct is connected to the fan 22, the extension portion can cover the connecting portion of the air duct on its inner side, so that the extension portion covers the connecting gap between the air duct and the fan 22, thereby preventing liquids such as rainwater from penetrating into the ventilation duct through the connecting gap, which helps to further improve the waterproof performance.
