Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery swapping stations, and in particular to a battery transfer method, a battery transfer system and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art
[0002] With the increasing number of automobiles year by year, the energy and environmental problems caused by automobile exhaust emissions and excessive consumption of oil resources are becoming increasingly serious. Countries around the world have been committed to researching, developing and promoting the use of various low-emission or zero-emission vehicles to solve the air pollution problem. Electric vehicles are currently the most suitable green transportation tools.
[0003] However, with the gradual popularization of electric vehicles and the increasing development of electric vehicle technology, the problem that its development is affected by the power supply mode has become increasingly prominent.
[0004] At present, the main energy replenishment modes for pure electric vehicles are charging and battery swapping.
[0005] Currently, the mainstream pure electric heavy trucks on the market are often equipped with batteries with a power of more than 300KW, and the selling price is twice that of similar fuel vehicles. Therefore, for logistics enterprise owners, the purchase cost is too high.
[0006] The battery swapping mode adopts the method of separating the vehicle and the battery. Users only need to purchase a vehicle without a battery, and the battery is leased for charging and incorporated into the electricity consumption. This can greatly reduce the purchase cost of the vehicle, and the leased battery is equivalent to the fuel cost of a fuel vehicle. The basic operation mode is not much different from that of a fuel vehicle, and users can also better accept it.
[0007] According to the current existing design method, the batteries in the heavy truck battery swapping station are longitudinally arranged in the battery compartment, with the batteries on both sides and a passage for battery entry and exit left in the middle, occupying a large floor space. The internal space capacity of the existing fixed or movable battery swapping stations is relatively large, and there is serious waste of construction and performance in the face of some temporary scenarios with small battery swapping requirements.

[0102] The specific embodiments of the battery swapping station of the present invention are basically the same as those of the following battery transfer program embodiments, and will not be elaborated here.
[0103] This application is applied to a battery swapping station. Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is a schematic structural diagram of a battery swapping station. The battery swapping station includes a battery swapping mechanism 2, batteries 3, a battery swapping station control cabinet 4, battery swapping station legs 5, and a vehicle to be battery - replaced 1. Among them, the battery swapping mechanism is used to grab the batteries in the battery compartment for position exchange, and the battery swapping station control cabinet is used to control the grabbing mechanism to work according to the battery swapping method of the battery swapping station; the battery swapping station legs are used to support the battery swapping station.
[0104] Further, please refer to Figure 3 , there is also a battery swapping channel 6 extending in the first direction on the outside of the battery swapping station, and a battery compartment 7 is laterally arranged in the battery swapping channel 6. And the battery compartment is arranged inside the battery swapping station. Among them, the battery swapping channel 6 is used for the vehicle to be battery - replaced to enter and exit the battery swapping station, and the battery compartment 7 is used for charging the batteries; where the first direction is Figure 3 the direction indicated by the arrow in
[0105] In addition, a charging pile 8 is further included in the battery compartment. The charging pile is used to connect to the charging positions in the battery compartment and charge the battery. Function positions 71 and charging positions 72 are also provided in the battery compartment. Among them, the function position 71 is used as a cache position for the battery when it moves in the battery compartment, and the charging position 72 is used to charge the battery.
[0106] Based on the above hardware structure, a first embodiment of the battery transfer method of the present invention is proposed. In an embodiment of the battery transfer method, please refer to Figure 6 , the battery transfer method includes:
[0107] Step S10, obtain the arrangement and power status of the batteries in the battery compartment;
[0108] In this embodiment, there are multiple batteries in the battery compartment, and their power statuses include a full charge status and a discharged status. The arrangement includes that the batteries are located at the charging positions and the function positions, specifically including the first-end charging position and the second-end charging position among the charging positions, and the batteries are located at the first plug-and-play charging position or the second plug-and-play charging position among the function positions.
[0109] Step S20, based on the arrangement and the power status, determine the battery to be replaced among the batteries, and determine the target moving position of the battery to be replaced;
[0110] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of an arrangement mode of the battery compartment in the battery swapping station of the present invention. The battery compartment includes at least one charging position 72 and several function positions 71 arranged in sequence along the direction indicated by the arrow. Among them, the charging positions include a first-end charging position 721 and a second-end charging position 722 respectively arranged at both ends of the function position. Among them, the function position 71 includes a first plug-and-play charging position 711, a cache position 712, and a second plug-and-play charging position 713 arranged in sequence along the direction indicated by the arrow. Both the first plug-and-play charging position and the second plug-and-play charging position are pluggable charging positions, and they are commonly connected to a charging pile, that is, they can be switched between a charging state and a non-charging state manually according to the charging demand. And the cache position is in a non-charging state and is only used for caching without a charging function. The first-end charging position and the second-end charging position are always connected to the charging pile without the need for plugging and unplugging, that is, when the battery is located at the first-end charging position and the second-end charging position, it can maintain a continuous charging state. And the number of batteries in the battery compartment is 3, two of which are respectively located at the first-end charging position and the second-end charging position, and one is located at the first plug-and-play charging position or the second plug-and-play charging position. In addition, indicator lights are arranged at the first-end charging position, the second-end charging position, the first plug-and-play charging position, and the second plug-and-play charging position, which are used to indicate the power status of the battery and to guide the vehicle to be battery-swapped to the target moving position.
[0111] Based on the above arrangement of the battery compartment, in one embodiment, the step S20 includes:
[0112] Step A21, based on the arrangement and the power state, determine whether the power state of the battery located at the function position is fully charged;
[0113] Step A22, if the power state of the battery located at the function position is fully charged, confirm the battery located at the function position as the battery to be replaced, and determine the target moving position of the battery to be replaced;
[0114] Step A23, if the power state of the battery located at the function position is not fully charged, confirm the battery located at the charging position and with a fully charged state as the battery to be replaced, and determine the target moving position of the battery to be replaced.
[0115] In this embodiment, in order to improve the battery replacement efficiency and reduce the number of battery transfer times during battery replacement, the fully charged battery at the adjacent position of the cache position is preferentially considered as the battery to be replaced, that is, the fully charged battery at the function position is the battery to be replaced. Secondly, when there is no fully charged battery at the function position, the batteries located at the first-end charging position and the second-end charging position in the charging position are preferentially considered as the batteries to be replaced. And since only one battery needs to be replaced for the vehicle to be battery-replaced at a time, a battery located at the function position, the first-end charging position, or the second-end charging position can be selected as the battery to be replaced, and the target moving position is determined according to the position where the battery to be replaced is located. For example, in Figure 3 , if the battery at the first plug-in charging position or the second plug-in position is the battery to be replaced, the cache position is set as the target moving position. If the battery at the first-end charging position is the battery to be replaced, the first plug-in position is the battery to be replaced. If the battery at the second-end charging position is the battery to be replaced, the second plug-in position is the battery to be replaced. In this way, the number of battery transfer times is reduced.
[0116] Specifically, in one embodiment, the step A22 further includes:
[0117] Step A221, if the battery at the first plug-in charging position or the second plug-in charging position is fully charged, confirm the battery at the first plug-in charging position or the second plug-in charging position as the battery to be replaced, and set the cache position as the target moving position;
[0118] In this embodiment, when the battery at the first plug-in charging position or the second plug-in charging position is fully charged, the battery meets the replacement condition. Then, the battery can be directly used as the battery to be replaced, and the buffer position adjacent to the first plug-in charging position and the second plug-in charging position is used as the target moving position, so that the vehicle to be battery-replaced can park on the side of the buffer position for battery replacement. For the specific battery replacement process, please refer to the second embodiment.
[0119] Step A23 also includes:
[0120] Step A231, if the batteries at the first plug-in charging position and the second plug-in charging position are not fully charged, then confirm the battery at the first end charging position or the second end charging position and with a full charge state as the battery to be replaced, and determine the target moving position according to the position where the battery to be replaced is located.
[0121] In this embodiment, if the battery at the first plug-in charging position or the second plug-in charging position is not in a fully charged state, it means that the battery cannot be replaced onto the vehicle to be battery-replaced. At this time, it is necessary to further determine whether the batteries at the first end charging position and the second end charging position are fully charged. When the batteries at the first end charging position and the second end charging position are fully charged, determine the target moving position. Specifically, in one embodiment, step A231 further includes:
[0122] Step A2311, if the batteries at the first plug-in charging position and the second plug-in charging position are not fully charged and the battery at the first end charging position is fully charged, then confirm the first plug-in charging position as the target moving position;
[0123] Step A2312, if the batteries at the first plug-in charging position and the second plug-in charging position are not fully charged and the battery at the second end charging position is fully charged, then confirm the second plug-in charging position as the target moving position.
[0124] In this embodiment, if the batteries at the first end charging position and the second end charging position are both in a fully charged state, then any one of the two batteries can be used as the battery to be replaced. If one of the batteries at the first end charging position and the second end charging position is not in a fully charged state, then use the one of the batteries in a fully charged state as the battery to be replaced, and use the adjacent position of the battery to be replaced as the target moving position. For example, if the battery at the first end charging position is the battery to be replaced, then confirm the first plug-in charging position as the target moving position; if the battery at the second end charging position is the battery to be replaced, then confirm the second plug-in charging position as the target moving position.
[0125] Step S30, obtain the position information of the battery to be replaced, and move the battery to be replaced to the target moving position according to the position information and the arrangement situation, so that the vehicle to be battery-replaced can be replaced through the battery replacement channel.
[0126] The position information of the battery to be replaced is the position of the battery to be replaced in the battery compartment. For example, the battery to be replaced is located at the first-end charging position, or at the first plug-and-unplug charging position, or at the buffer position, or at the second plug-and-unplug charging position, or at the second-end charging position. After determining the battery to be replaced and the target moving position of the battery to be replaced, through the indicator lights correspondingly set with the first-end charging position, the first plug-and-unplug charging position, the buffer position, the second plug-and-unplug charging position, and the second-end charging position, the vehicle to be battery-replaced is instructed to drive to the position corresponding to the indicator light in the battery replacement channel, so that the power-depleted battery on the battery-replacing vehicle can be placed in the battery compartment for charging, and the battery to be replaced can be placed in the battery-replacing vehicle, completing the battery replacement of the battery-replacing vehicle. For the specific battery replacement process, please refer to the second embodiment of the present invention.
[0127] In the present invention, by providing a battery replacement channel for vehicles to enter and exit outside the battery replacement station, and providing a battery compartment for charging the battery on the upper side or the lower side of the battery replacement channel, it avoids the need to reserve a channel for the battery to enter and exit in the traditional solution to realize the movement of the battery, thereby avoiding the problem of performance waste caused by the excessive internal space capacity of the battery replacement station and reducing the construction cost of the battery replacement station. At the same time, by obtaining the arrangement and power status of the batteries in the battery compartment, and determining the battery to be replaced and the target moving position of the battery to be replaced among all the batteries, moving the battery to be replaced to the target moving position, so that the battery to be replaced can be replaced through the battery replacement channel, ensuring the selection of the battery to be replaced and the target moving position in the battery compartment, realizing that after removing the battery entry and exit channels in the prior art, ensuring that the battery can still be accurately transferred to the warehouse, and at the same time, because the construction scale of the battery replacement station is small, the battery replacement speed of the vehicle is relatively fast, improving the battery replacement efficiency and avoiding the performance waste of the battery replacement station.
[0128] Further, according to the first embodiment of the battery transfer method of the present application, the second embodiment of the battery transfer method of the present application is proposed. In this embodiment, after step A221, it further includes:
[0129] Step A222, if the battery to be replaced is located at the first plug-and-unplug charging position, move the power-depleted battery on the vehicle to be battery-replaced to the second plug-and-unplug charging position through the buffer position, and move the battery to be replaced to the vehicle to be battery-replaced through the buffer position;
[0130] Step A223, if the battery to be replaced is located at the second plug-and-unplug charging position, move the power-depleted battery on the vehicle to be battery-replaced to the first plug-and-unplug charging position through the buffer position, and move the battery to be replaced to the vehicle to be battery-replaced through the buffer position.
[0131] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3, after determining that the battery in the first plug-in charging position and the second plug-in charging position is the battery to be replaced, and the cache position is the target moving position, first, the vehicle to be battery-swapped drives to the cache position, and then the discharged battery on the vehicle to be battery-swapped is grabbed and moved to the cache position by the battery-swapping mechanism. At this time, if the battery in the first plug-in charging position is the battery to be replaced, the discharged battery is translated to the second plug-in charging position, then the battery to be replaced is translated to the cache position, and then moved onto the battery-swapping vehicle. Finally, the second plug-in charging position is connected to the charging pile to charge the discharged battery. If the battery in the second plug-in charging position is the battery to be replaced, the discharged battery is translated to the first plug-in charging position, then the battery to be replaced is translated to the cache position, and then moved onto the battery-swapping vehicle. Finally, the first plug-in charging position is connected to the charging pile to charge the discharged battery. From the above process, it can be seen that when the battery in the first plug-in charging position or the second plug-in charging position is the battery to be replaced, through the arrangement in the present invention, there is no need to move the battery in the charging bin, and only the position of the battery to be replaced needs to be translated to complete the battery swapping of the vehicle, greatly improving the battery swapping efficiency, avoiding performance waste, and at the same time ensuring the safety of the vehicle during the battery swapping process by the translation method.
[0132] In one embodiment, after the step A2311, the following steps are further included:
[0133] Step A2313, when the first plug-in charging position is an idle position, move the discharged battery on the vehicle to be battery-swapped to the cache position through the first plug-in charging position;
[0134] Step A2314, move the battery to be replaced located at the first end charging position to the vehicle to be battery-swapped through the first plug-in charging position;
[0135] Step A2315, move the discharged battery on the cache position to the first end charging position to complete the battery swapping of the vehicle to be battery-swapped;
[0136] In this embodiment, after determining that the battery in the first end charging position is the battery to be replaced, if the first plug-in charging position adjacent to the first end charging position is an idle position, then the first plug-in charging position is used as the target moving position, so that the vehicle to be battery-swapped drives to the target moving position, and the discharged battery is moved to the target moving position, then the discharged battery is translated to the cache position, and the battery to be replaced is translated to the first plug-in charging position, that is, the target moving position, and then the battery to be replaced is moved to the vehicle to be battery-swapped. Finally, since the cache position is not connected to the charging pile and the discharged battery cannot be charged, it is necessary to move the discharged battery on the cache position to the first end charging position or the second end charging position. Specifically, if the battery on the first end charging position is the battery to be replaced before the battery swapping, then the discharged battery is translated to the first end charging position, thereby completing the battery swapping process of the vehicle to be battery-swapped.
[0137] In addition, after the step A2311, the following steps are further included:
[0138] Step A23111: When the first plug-in charging position is not an idle position, move the battery located at the first plug-in charging position to the second plug-in charging position through the buffer position.
[0139] The non-idle position means that there is a battery charging at this position. Therefore, it is necessary to transfer the battery at the non-idle position. Specifically, if the battery at the first-end charging position is the battery to be replaced, move the battery at the first plug-in charging position adjacent to the first-end charging position to the second plug-in charging position and connect to the charging pile at the second plug-in charging position.
[0140] Step A23112: Move the discharged battery on the vehicle to be battery-replaced to the buffer position, move the battery to be replaced at the first-end charging position to the vehicle to be battery-replaced, and move the discharged battery to the first-end charging position to complete the battery replacement.
[0141] After moving the battery at the first plug-in charging position, if the battery at the first-end charging position is the battery to be replaced, drive the vehicle to one side of the first plug-in charging position, move the discharged battery on the vehicle to be battery-replaced to the first plug-in charging position, and finally move it to the buffer position; finally, move the discharged battery to the first-end charging position to charge the discharged battery and complete the battery replacement of the vehicle.
[0142] After the step A2312, the following steps are further included:
[0143] Step A2316: When the second plug-in charging position is an idle position, move the discharged battery on the vehicle to be battery-replaced to the buffer position through the second plug-in charging position.
[0144] Step A2317: Move the battery to be replaced located at the second-end charging position to the vehicle to be battery-replaced through the second plug-in charging position.
[0145] Step A2318: Move the discharged battery on the buffer position to the second-end charging position to complete the battery replacement of the vehicle to be battery-replaced.
[0146] In this embodiment, first, when the second plug-in charging position adjacent to the second-end charging position is an idle position, the second plug-in charging position is used as the target moving position, so that the vehicle to be battery-swapped travels to the target moving position, and the depleted battery is moved to the target moving position, and then the depleted battery is translated to the buffer position. Then, the battery to be replaced is moved to the second plug-in charging position, and then moved from the second plug-in charging position to the vehicle to be battery-swapped. Finally, since the buffer position is not connected to the charging pile and the depleted battery cannot be charged, it is necessary to move the depleted battery located on the buffer position to the second-end charging position to complete the battery swapping process of the vehicle to be battery-swapped.
[0147] In addition, after step A2312, the following steps are further included:
[0148] Step A23121, when the second plug-in charging position is not an idle position, the battery located at the second plug-in charging position is moved to the first plug-in charging position through the buffer position;
[0149] Step A23122, the depleted battery on the vehicle to be battery-swapped is moved to the buffer position, the battery to be replaced located at the second-end charging position is moved to the vehicle to be battery-swapped, and the depleted battery is moved to the second-end charging position to complete the battery swapping.
[0150] The non-idle position means that there is a battery charging at this position. Therefore, it is necessary to move the battery at the non-idle position to another position. Specifically, if the battery at the second-end charging position is the battery to be replaced, the battery at the second plug-in charging position adjacent to the second-end charging position is translated to the first plug-in charging position and connected to the charging pile at the first plug-in charging position; then, after moving the battery at the second plug-in charging position, if the battery at the second-end charging position is the battery to be replaced, the vehicle travels to one side of the second plug-in charging position, and the depleted battery on the vehicle to be battery-swapped is moved to the second plug-in charging position and finally translated to the buffer position; finally, the depleted battery is translated to the second-end charging position to charge the depleted battery to complete the battery swapping of the vehicle.
[0151] In the present invention, through the above battery swapping method, it is possible to utilize the first-end charging position, the first plug-in charging position, the buffer position, the second plug-in charging position, and the second-end charging position to complete the battery swapping of the vehicle with the least number of times of moving to another position. At the same time, during the process of moving to another position, by translating the battery, the safety of the process of moving to another position is ensured, the efficiency of moving to another position is greatly improved, the full use of the battery swapping station is avoided, and the problem of over-performance is avoided.
[0152] Further, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5It is a schematic diagram of another arrangement mode of the battery compartments in the battery swapping station of the present invention. The battery compartments further include a plurality of functional positions 71 arranged in sequence along a first direction and at least one charging position 723. Among them, the plurality of functional positions include a buffer position 712, a channel position 714, and a battery swapping position 715 arranged in sequence along the first direction. The buffer position is only used for buffering when the battery is transferred between compartments and has no charging function, and is always in a non-chargeable state. The channel position is used for battery swapping of the vehicle to be swapped, that is, the channel position is always the target moving position. The battery swapping position is used to store fully charged batteries. That is, when the battery on the third-end charging position is fully charged, the battery can be moved to the battery swapping position. In addition, the battery swapping station further includes a turnstile arranged at the inlet and outlet of the battery swapping channel, and the turnstile is used to control the entry and exit of the vehicle to be swapped into and out of the battery swapping channel after the battery is transferred between compartments;
[0153] Based on the above settings of the battery compartments, a third embodiment of the battery transfer method of the present application is proposed. In this embodiment, step S20 further includes:
[0154] Step A201, based on the power state and the arrangement, use the fully charged battery in the battery swapping position as the battery to be replaced, and use the channel position as the target moving position;
[0155] In this embodiment, the functional positions include a buffer position, a channel position, and a battery swapping position, and only the battery swapping position has a battery. If the battery in the battery swapping position is fully charged, use the battery in the battery swapping position as the battery to be replaced, and use the channel position as the target moving position. Then control the battery swapping mechanism in the battery swapping station to move the depleted battery on the vehicle to be swapped to the channel position, then move the depleted battery to the buffer position, and finally move the battery to be replaced to the vehicle to be swapped through the channel position to complete the battery swapping process.
[0156] Step A202, if there is no fully charged battery in the battery swapping position, use the fully charged battery in the charging position as the battery to be replaced, and use the channel position as the target moving position.
[0157] In this embodiment, if there is no fully charged battery in the battery swapping position among the functional positions, use the fully charged battery in the third-end charging position as the battery to be replaced, move the battery to be replaced to the battery swapping position among the functional positions, and then execute step A201 to complete the battery swapping. It should be noted that the grasping mechanism in this embodiment can extend outside the battery swapping compartment so as to be able to grasp and move the battery on the third-end charging position to the battery swapping position. In addition, after moving the fully charged battery to the battery swapping position, the turnstile at the inlet and outlet of the battery swapping channel needs to be opened to allow the vehicle to enter the battery swapping channel. In addition, the overall flowchart of this embodiment is as Figure 7 shown
[0158] In the present invention, several function positions and at least one third-end charging position are sequentially arranged in the battery compartment from left to right. Based on the power state, the battery with a full charge state in the function positions is used as the battery to be replaced, and the replacement position in the function positions is used as the target moving position. If there is no battery with a full charge state in the function positions, the battery with a full charge state in the third-end charging position is used as the battery to be replaced, and the channel position in the function positions is used as the target moving position. The expansion of the battery swapping station can be achieved by changing the number of third-end charging positions, meeting the construction of battery swapping stations of different scales. Meanwhile, the space of the battery swapping station is saved, the scalability of the battery swapping station is increased, and the structure of the battery swapping station is simplified.
[0159] In another embodiment, at least one first-end charging position, several function positions, and at least one second-end charging position are sequentially arranged in the battery compartment along a first direction. Among them, the function positions include a buffer position, a channel position, and a replacement position sequentially arranged along the first direction, and both the first-end charging position and the second-end charging position are pluggable charging positions. Based on the above arrangement, the fully charged batteries in the second-end charging position and the first-end charging position can be moved to the replacement position, and then battery swapping is performed with the vehicle to be battery-swapped. When moving the non-fully charged batteries in the first-end charging position or the second-end charging position to the second-end charging position or the first-end charging position respectively, the charging state of the first-end charging position or the second-end charging position can be changed to achieve the charging of the non-fully charged batteries. Through the above arrangement, the safety during the battery swapping process can be improved, and at the same time, the expansion of the battery swapping station can be facilitated.
[0160] Further, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 is the arrangement mode of the battery swapping station in the prior art. The existing battery swapping station has an upper and lower layer structure, which is spliced by two upper and lower containers. The battery 9 is located on the upper layer and is arranged in two columns, with a channel 10 left in the middle for the battery to enter and exit. During battery swapping, the battery on the vehicle needs to be removed and placed on the in-station bottom tray first, and then the in-station battery is taken and replaced on the vehicle. The battery enters and exits the battery swapping station through the battery swapping channel. As can be seen from the above, the internal space capacity of the existing fixed or movable battery swapping station is 7 batteries, with a large capacity. There is serious waste in construction and performance when facing some temporary scenarios with small battery swapping requirements. For example, in a subway construction site: there are limited construction vehicles, and the battery swapping station needs to be quickly moved away after the construction is completed. And the demand for battery swapping capacity by transportation companies is not constant, but a slow increasing process. In the first few years when many fleets start operating, the demand for battery swapping is not high, and then it will slowly increase as the number of vehicles increases.
[0161] The above problems can be solved by the battery swapping station structure in this application. In the battery swapping station, a battery swapping channel for vehicles to enter and exit is arranged inside the station, and battery compartments for charging batteries are arranged on the side of the battery swapping channel. This avoids the need to reserve a channel for battery entry and exit in the traditional solution to enable the movement of the battery, thereby avoiding the problem of performance waste caused by excessive internal space capacity of the battery swapping station and reducing the construction cost of the battery swapping station. At the same time, by obtaining the arrangement and power status of the batteries in the battery compartment, and determining the battery to be replaced and the target movement position of the battery to be replaced among all the batteries, moving the battery to be replaced to the target movement position, so that the battery to be replaced can be replaced through the battery swapping channel, ensuring the selection of the battery to be replaced and the target movement position in the battery compartment, achieving accurate battery transfer even after removing the battery entry and exit channels in the prior art. At the same time, because the construction scale of the battery swapping station is small, the battery swapping speed of the vehicle is relatively fast, improving the battery swapping efficiency and avoiding performance waste of the battery swapping station.
[0162] In addition, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a computer-readable storage medium, on which a battery transfer program is stored. When the battery transfer program is executed by a processor, the following operations are implemented:
