Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to an energy station, in particular to an energy station for charging a battery. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the progress of technology and the rise of environmental awareness, the electric motorcycle industry is also booming. The electric motorcycle uses electricity as the driving energy and can be charged by directly connecting to a power source or by replacing the battery to supplement the power of the electric motorcycle.

[0003] Today, if you want to replace the battery of an electric motorcycle, you must remove the battery from the electric motorcycle, insert the battery into the charging slot of an energy station, and remove another battery from the energy station for replacement. The charging slot has an opening and a connection terminal, and a direction of insertion is defined from the opening to the connection terminal. The end of the battery has a charging terminal. When the user inserts the battery into the charging slot along the direction of insertion from the opening, the charging terminal combines with the connection terminal, and the energy station can charge the battery.

[0004] However, because the battery is heavy, when the user wants to insert the battery into the charging slot, the bottom of the opening of the charging slot supports the battery to share the weight of the battery, at which time the end of the battery is raised upward. When the user pushes the battery into the charging slot, the moving direction of the battery is not parallel to the direction of insertion, causing the charging terminal and the connection terminal of the charging slot to be misaligned. When the misalignment offset distance is too large and exceeds the predetermined range, it is easy to cause the charging terminal and the connection terminal to collide and cause damage to the battery and the connection terminal. SUMMARY

[0005] [Problem to be Solved by the Invention]

[0006] The main purpose of the present application is to provide an energy station to solve the problem that when the battery is inserted into the charging slot, the offset distance between the charging terminal of the battery and the connection terminal of the charging slot is too large, causing the battery and the connection terminal to collide and causing damage to the battery and the connection terminal.

[0007] [Technical Means for Solving the Problem]

[0008] To achieve the foregoing purpose, the energy station of the present application is provided with at least one battery slot, which can accommodate a charging battery, and is provided with:

[0009] a connection terminal, which is provided at the end of the battery slot and can be connected to the charging battery; and

[0010] A guide mechanism, which includes a top surface guide portion, a side surface guide portion and a rolling portion disposed around the connection terminal, when the rechargeable battery is placed in the battery slot, the rechargeable battery is located between the top surface guide portion, the side surface guide portion and the rolling portion.

[0011] [Effects of the invention]

[0012] The battery slot of the energy station of the present application can accommodate the rechargeable battery, and by the design of the guide mechanism, when the rechargeable battery is combined with the connection terminal, it is not easy to misalign, wherein the energy station has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. It can effectively avoid misalignment of the rechargeable battery: when the rechargeable battery is inserted into the battery slot, if the end of the rechargeable battery is raised upward, before contacting the connection terminal, the end of the rechargeable battery will first contact the top surface guide portion of the guide mechanism and be guided downward, and then be guided horizontally by the side surface guide portion, thereby adjusting the position of the rechargeable battery to avoid misalignment between the rechargeable battery and the connection terminal. It can effectively avoid collision between the rechargeable battery and the connection terminal. In addition, when located in the battery slot, the rechargeable battery is supported on the rolling portion, which can reduce the friction force of moving the rechargeable battery, thereby improving the convenience of putting or taking.

[0014] 2. It is easy to maintain: as described above, the energy station is provided with the top surface guide portion and the side surface guide portion in the battery slot, which can guide the position of the rechargeable battery when it is inserted into the battery slot. Therefore, the guide mechanism can prevent collision by simplifying the components, effectively improving the maintenance convenience of the guide mechanism, and reducing maintenance and production costs.

[0040] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the connection terminal 20 is arranged at the end of the battery slot 10 and is capable of connecting the rechargeable battery 40.

[0041] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the connection terminal 20 is arranged at the end of the battery slot 10 and is capable of connecting the rechargeable battery 40.As shown, the guiding mechanism 30 comprises a top guiding portion 31, a side guiding portion 32 and a rolling portion 33, which are arranged around the connecting terminal 20, when the rechargeable battery 40 is placed in the battery slot 10, the rechargeable battery 40 is located between the top guiding portion 31, the side guiding portion 32 and the rolling portion 33, in addition, in the preferred embodiment of the present application, the guiding mechanism 30 comprises two side guiding portions 32, which are located at opposite positions in the battery slot 10, so as to improve the guiding effect of the guiding mechanism 30 on the rechargeable battery 40.

[0042] As shown, the battery slot 10 is provided with an entrance frame 11 at the front end thereof, and the entrance frame 11 is provided with an entrance end face 111. Figure 5 As shown, the entrance frame 11 is provided with an entrance end face 111, for the convenience of description, half of the length of the rechargeable battery 40 is defined as a first length L1, the distance between the entrance end face 111 and the top guiding portion 31 is defined as a first distance D1, and the distance between the entrance end face 111 and the side guiding portion 32 is defined as a second distance D2, preferably, the first distance D1 and the second distance D2 are both greater than the first length L1, in addition, the inner bottom of the entrance frame 11 is provided with a connecting inclined surface 112 and a supporting surface 113, and the entrance end face 111 is located on the supporting surface 113.

[0043] In addition, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the entrance frame 11 can be provided with a cover plate 12, which can prevent sand or rain from entering the battery slot 10 when the cover plate 12 is closed.

[0044] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the front end of the top guiding portion 31 is provided with a top guiding surface 311, and the front end of the side guiding portion 32 is provided with a side guiding surface 321, in addition, the guiding mechanism 30 comprises at least one fixing frame 34, and the top guiding portion 31 and the side guiding portion 32 can be detachably arranged in the battery slot 10 by means of the fixing frame 34, in the preferred embodiment of the present application, the top guiding portion 31 and the side guiding portion 32 are arranged in the battery slot 10 by means of the fixing frame 34.

[0045] In addition, as shown in Figure 4 , the rolling portion 33 is provided with a bearing surface 331, which is parallel to the top guiding portion 31, and the rechargeable battery 40 can be placed on the bearing surface 331 of the rolling portion 33.

[0046] The battery slot 10 of the energy station can accommodate the rechargeable battery 40. The user can insert the rechargeable battery 40 into the entrance frame 11 of the battery slot 10. The bottom of the rechargeable battery 40 abuts against the inner bottom of the entrance frame 11. Therefore, the user does not need to exert force to support the rechargeable battery 40, and the use convenience of the energy station is improved.

[0047] As shown in Figure 6 the user pushes the rechargeable battery 40 into the battery slot 10 along the guide slope 112. When the length of the rechargeable battery 40 is half of the length of the rechargeable battery 40, the end of the rechargeable battery 40 is lowered as the support surface 113 of the entrance frame 11, and abuts against the bearing surface 331 of the rolling part 33 of the alignment mechanism 30. The rolling part 33 can reduce the frictional resistance of the rechargeable battery 40 in the battery slot 10. The rechargeable battery 40 can be accurately combined with the connection terminal 20 by the guidance of the top guide surface 311 of the top guide part 31 and the side guide surface 321 of the side guide part 32.

[0048] When the length of the rechargeable battery 40 is half of the length of the rechargeable battery 40, the end of the rechargeable battery 40 is lowered. Therefore, the distance between the entrance end surface 111 and the top guide part 31 and the side guide part 32 is greater than half of the length of the rechargeable battery 40. The rechargeable battery 40 can avoid the frictional resistance caused by the contact with the side guide part 32 when the rechargeable battery 40 is deviated. The length of the top guide part 31 and the side guide part 32 can be reduced, and the production cost can be reduced.

[0049] As shown in Figure 7 If the user pushes the rechargeable battery 40 with greater force, the rechargeable battery 40 enters the battery slot 10 along the inclined direction of the guide slope 112. The end of the rechargeable battery 40 contacts the top guide surface 311 of the top guide part 31 and is guided downward, so that the rechargeable battery 40 abuts against the rolling part 33. The top guide part 31 can prevent the rechargeable battery 40 from rebounding when the rechargeable battery 40 contacts the rolling part 33. The rechargeable battery 40 can be limited to deviate in the vertical direction by the design that the top guide surface 311 of the top guide part 31 and the bearing surface 331 are parallel to each other. The rechargeable battery 40 and the connection terminal 20 can be prevented from being dislocated and colliding.

[0050] In addition, the energy station is provided with the top surface guide 31 and the side surface guide 32 in the battery slot 10, so that the collision can be prevented when the rechargeable battery 40 is inserted into the battery slot 10. The components of the guide mechanism 30 are simple in design and easy to maintain. The top surface guide 31 and the side surface guide 32 are locked to the fixed frame 34 by two screws respectively, so that the top surface guide 31 and the side surface guide 32 can be easily removed when they are worn out and need to be replaced. The maintenance and production costs can be effectively reduced, and the maintenance convenience can be improved.

[0051] The battery slot 10 of the energy station can accommodate the rechargeable battery 40. When the rechargeable battery 40 is inserted into the battery slot 10, the position of the rechargeable battery 40 can be guided by the top surface guide 31 and the side surface guide 32 to avoid misalignment with the connection terminal 20. Thus, the collision between the rechargeable battery 40 and the connection terminal 20 can be effectively avoided. In addition, when the rechargeable battery 40 is located in the battery slot 10, the rechargeable battery 40 is supported on the rolling part 33, so that the friction when moving the rechargeable battery 40 can be reduced. Thus, the convenience of putting or taking can be improved.

[0052] In summary, only the embodiments or examples of the technical means adopted to solve the problems are described, and the scope of the patent implementation is not limited. Any equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the meaning of the claims or within the scope of the patent are covered by the patent.
