[0027] Embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present disclosure, and should not be construed as limitations on the present disclosure. On the contrary, the embodiments of the present disclosure include all changes, modifications and equivalents that fall within the spirit and connotation of the appended claims.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure proposes a battery swap station 4 transportation system, including a platform 1, a driving component 2, a stroke detection component and a control component 3. The battery swap station 4 is slidably arranged on the platform 1, and the power output end of the driving component 2 is transmission-connected to the power input end of the battery swap station 4. The driving component 2 is used to drive the battery swap station 4 to move on the platform 1. The stroke detection component is arranged between the platform 1 and the battery swap station 4. The stroke detection component is used to detect the actual position of the battery swap station 4 on the platform 1. The signal input end of the control component 3 is connected to the signal output end of the stroke detection component, and the signal output end of the control component 3 is connected to the signal input end of the driving component 2 and the signal input end of the battery swap station 4. The control component 3 is used to compare the actual position with the set position, and control the driving component 2 according to the comparison result to move the battery swap station 4 to the set position.

[0029] It can be understood that, driven by the driving component 2, the battery swap station 4 is moved as a whole on the platform 1, thereby effectively improving the flexibility of the battery swap station 4. At the same time, according to the feedback of the travel detection component, the actual position of the battery swap station 4 is accurately controlled under the control of the control component 3 to ensure the positioning accuracy of the battery swap station 4. As a result, the efficiency and safety of battery replacement at the battery swap station 4 are effectively improved.

[0030] It should be noted that the control component 3 is used for receiving, sending, and processing signals, and the specific type of the control component 3 can be set according to actual needs, and there is no limitation on this. For example, the control component 3 can be a plurality of programmable logic controllers. The control component 3 can be set on the platform 1 or on the battery swap station 4.

[0031] The actual position and set position of the battery swap station 4 can be represented by the distance between the battery swap station 4 and the initial position. The set position is set externally. The specific value of the set position can be set according to actual needs and there is no limitation on this. For example, the set position can be 1 meter, 1, 2 meters, 3 meters, 5 meters, etc.

[0032] The comparison method of the actual position and the set position of the control component 3 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited to this. For example, the control component 3 makes a difference between the actual position and the set position. If the difference is zero, the drive component 2 does not operate and the battery swap station 4 maintains the current position unchanged; if the difference is positive, the drive component 2 operates to move the battery swap station 4 forward until the difference is zero; if the difference is negative, the drive component 2 operates to move the battery swap station 4 in the reverse direction until the difference is zero.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the travel detection component includes a distance measuring sensor 5 and a reflective plate 6, the distance measuring sensor 5 is arranged on the platform 1, the signal output end of the distance measuring sensor 5 is connected to the signal input end of the control component 3, the reflective plate 6 is arranged on the battery swap station 4, the reflective plate 6 is opposite to the detection end of the distance measuring sensor 5, and the distance measuring sensor 5 is used to detect the actual position of the reflective plate 6 on the platform 1.

[0034] It can be understood that when the signal emitted by the ranging sensor 5 reaches the reflecting plate 6, the reflecting plate 6 reflects the signal to the ranging sensor 5. The ranging sensor 5 obtains the distance between the reflecting plate 6 and the ranging sensor 5 through the emission and reception of the signal, thereby further obtaining the actual position of the battery swap station 4, thereby ensuring the precise movement of the battery swap station 4.

[0035] It should be noted that the distance measuring sensor 5 is used to measure the distance between it and the reflector 6. The specific type of the distance measuring sensor 5 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited to this. For example, the distance measuring sensor 5 can be an ultrasonic distance measuring sensor 5; the distance measuring sensor 5 can be an infrared distance measuring sensor 5; the distance measuring sensor 5 can be a laser distance measuring sensor 5.

[0036] The specific type of the reflector 6 should be determined according to the type of the distance sensor 5. For example, when the distance sensor 5 is an infrared distance sensor 5, the surface of the reflector 6 can be coated with a gold, silver or other material.

[0037] The reflecting plate 6 is directly facing the detection end of the distance measuring sensor 5 which means that the signal transmitting and receiving directions of the reflecting plate 6 and the distance measuring sensor 5 are perpendicular.

[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the transport system also includes a guide rail 7, a running wheel 8 and an encoder 9, the guide rail 7 is arranged on the platform 1, the running wheel 8 is rotatably arranged on the battery swap station 4, and the running wheel 8 is rollingly connected to the guide rail 7, the encoder 9 is arranged on the battery swap station 4, the signal output end of the encoder 9 is connected to the signal input end of the control component 3, the detection end of the encoder 9 is connected to the wheel axle of the running wheel 8, the encoder 9 is used to detect the rotation stroke of the running wheel 8, and the control component 3 is used to obtain the slip information of the running wheel 8 according to the rotation stroke and the actual position.

[0039] It can be understood that the sliding setting of the battery swap station 4 on the platform 1 is realized through the rolling cooperation of the walking wheel 8 and the guide rail 7, and the rotation stroke of the walking wheel 8 can be detected through the setting of the encoder 9, so that the control component 3 can determine the slip information of the walking wheel 8, and then the operating personnel can better judge the status of the battery swap station 4 during the movement process, thereby ensuring the positioning accuracy of the battery swap station 4.

[0040] It should be noted that, during the movement of the battery swap station 4, the control component 3 can calculate the moving stroke of the battery swap station 4 through the actual position of the battery swap station 4. The comparison method of the rotation stroke and the moving stroke of the control component 3 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited to this. For example, the control component 3 differs the rotation stroke from the moving stroke. If the difference is zero, it is determined that the running wheel 8 has not slipped; if the difference is positive or negative, it is determined that the running wheel 8 has slipped relative to the guide rail 7.

[0041] Among them, a threshold value of the difference can be set in the control component 3. When the difference is greater than the threshold value, the control component 3 sends an alarm message to prompt the operator to inspect and adjust the walking wheel 8. The adjustment method can be set according to actual needs. For example, if the platform 1 has a tilt problem, the platform 1 can be kept level by adjusting the position of the platform 1; if there are oil stains and other substances between the guide rail 7 and the walking wheel 8, the friction between the guide rail 7 and the walking wheel 8 can be ensured by cleaning, sanding, etc.

[0042] The specific number of the guide rails 7 and the running wheels 8 can be set according to actual needs, and there is no limitation on this. For example, the guide rails 7 and the running wheels 8 can be respectively in two groups, three groups, etc.

[0043] The specific type of the running wheel 8 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited to this. For example, a groove 17 can be set on the outer circumferential surface of the running wheel 8 so that the guide rail 7 can be embedded in the groove 17, thereby realizing the limiting of the running wheel 8 on the guide rail 7; when two groups of running wheels 8 are used, the opposite sides or opposite sides of the two groups of running wheels 8 are provided with larger diameter discs, thereby realizing the limiting of the two groups of running wheels 8 on the two groups of guide rails 7 through the cooperation of the two groups of discs.

[0044] The specific type of the battery swap station 4 can be set according to actual needs, and there is no limitation to this. For example, the battery swap station 4 may include a base frame, a lifting frame, a telescopic frame, a lifting seat, a lifting rope and a hook. The walking wheel 8 is rotatably set at the bottom of the base frame, the drive assembly 2 and the encoder 9 are both set on the base frame, the lifting frame is slidably set on the base frame along the vertical direction, the telescopic frame is slidably set on the lifting frame, and the sliding direction of the telescopic frame is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the lifting frame and the sliding direction of the base frame respectively, the lifting seat is set on the telescopic frame, the lifting rope is wound around the lifting seat, and the hook is set on the lifting rope. Among them, the lifting frame, the telescopic frame and the lifting rope can all be driven by a hydraulic cylinder.

[0045] Thus, the three-axis movement of the battery swap station 4 is realized by the movement of the base frame, the lifting and lowering of the lifting frame, and the extension and retraction of the telescopic frame. At the same time, the lifting and replacement of the battery is realized by coordinating the winding of the lifting rope.

[0046] The driving assembly 2 is used to drive the rotation of the running wheel 8. The specific type of the driving assembly 2 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited to this.

[0047] For example, the driving assembly 2 may include a driving motor and a reducer, wherein the output shaft of the driving motor is connected to the input shaft of the reducer via a coupling, and the output shaft of the reducer is connected to the wheel axle of the traveling wheel 8 via a coupling.

[0048] For example, the drive assembly 2 may include a hydraulic motor, the output shaft of the hydraulic motor is connected to the wheel axle of the travel wheel 8 via a coupling, the fluid inlet end of the hydraulic motor is connected to the fluid outlet end of the hydraulic station 12, and the fluid outlet end of the hydraulic motor is connected to the fluid inlet end of the hydraulic station 12.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the transport system further includes a buffer 10 , which is disposed at the end of the guide rail 7 . When the battery swap station 4 moves to the end of the guide rail 7 , the buffer 10 abuts against the battery swap station 4 .

[0050] It can be understood that, through the provision of the buffer component 10, not only the position of the battery swap station 4 on the guide rail 7 is limited to ensure the stable operation of the battery swap station 4 on the platform 1, but also the battery swap station 4 can be effectively buffered when it reaches the end of the guide rail 7, avoiding the battery swap station 4 from impact, wear and even damage, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the battery swap station 4.

[0051] It should be noted that the specific type of the buffer 10 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited to this. For example, the buffer 10 can be a rubber pad, a silicone pad, etc.; the buffer 10 can be an airbag.

[0052] The arrangement of the buffer member 10 at the end of the guide rail 7 can be arranged according to actual needs, and there is no limitation to this. For example, a baffle can be arranged at the end of the guide rail 7, and the buffer member 10 is arranged on the baffle.

[0053] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the transport system also includes a transport vehicle 11, a hydraulic station 12 and a plurality of outriggers, the platform 1 is arranged on the body of the transport vehicle 11, the hydraulic station 12 is arranged on the platform 1, the signal input end of the hydraulic station 12 is connected to the signal output end of the control component 3, the outriggers include: a sleeve 13, a hydraulic cylinder 14 and a support rod 15, the sleeve 13 is arranged at the bottom of the platform 1, the support rod 15 is slidably arranged at one end of the sleeve 13 away from the platform 1, the hydraulic cylinder 14 is arranged between the sleeve 13 and the support rod 15, the liquid inlet end of the hydraulic cylinder 14 is connected to the liquid outlet end of the hydraulic station 12, and the liquid outlet end of the hydraulic cylinder 14 is connected to the liquid inlet end of the hydraulic station 12.

[0054] It can be understood that, through the setting of the transport vehicle 11, the platform 1 can be moved and transported arbitrarily, so that the battery swap station 4 can be applied to battery replacement needs in different locations and scenarios, with higher flexibility. At the same time, through the cooperation of the hydraulic station 12 and the outriggers, the positioning support of the platform 1 is achieved, which can not only improve the positioning accuracy of the battery swap station 4 on the platform 1, but also ensure the stable operation of the battery swap station 4.

[0055] It should be noted that the transport vehicle 11 is used for loading the platform 1 , and the specific type of the transport vehicle 11 can be set according to actual needs, and there is no limitation on this. For example, the transport vehicle 11 can be a trailer, a semi-trailer, etc.

[0056] The hydraulic station 12 is used for delivering and returning liquid to the hydraulic cylinder 14. The specific type of the hydraulic station 12 can be set according to actual needs, and there is no limitation on this. For example, the hydraulic station 12 may include an oil tank, an oil pump, and a three-position four-way valve. The inlet end of the oil pump is connected to the outlet end of the oil tank, the first end of the three-position four-way valve is connected to the outlet end of the oil pump, the second end of the three-position four-way valve is connected to the inlet end of the oil tank, the third end of the three-position four-way valve is connected to the rod chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 14, the fourth end of the three-position four-way valve is connected to the rodless chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 14, and the signal output end of the control component 3 is connected to the signal input end of the oil pump and the signal input end of the three-position four-way valve. Therefore, under the control of the control component 3, the first end of the three-position four-way valve is connected to the third end, the second end is connected to the fourth end, or the first end of the three-position four-way valve is connected to the fourth end, and the second end is connected to the third end.

[0057] The oil circuit connection mode between the multiple legs can be set according to actual needs, and there is no limitation to this. For example, the multiple hydraulic cylinders 14 are connected in parallel.

[0058] The arrangement of the sleeve 13 at the bottom of the platform 1 can be arranged according to actual needs and is not limited to this. For example, the sleeve 13 is hinged at the bottom of the platform 1, and the support leg also includes a reinforcing rod, one end of the reinforcing rod is hinged to the sleeve 13, and the other end of the reinforcing rod is hinged to the bottom of the platform 1.

[0059] The sliding setting mode of the support rod 15 on the sleeve 13 can be set according to actual needs, and there is no limitation on this. For example, a slide groove is set at the end of the sleeve 13 away from the platform 1, and the end of the support rod 15 close to the platform 1 is slidably inserted in the slide groove, and the hydraulic cylinder 14 is set in the slide groove.

[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the supporting leg further includes a washer 16 , which is disposed at one end of the support rod 15 away from the sleeve 13 , and a groove 17 is disposed at the end of the washer 16 away from the support rod 15 , in which a cone 18 is disposed.

[0061] It can be understood that, by setting the pad 16, the support rod 15 can effectively contact the ground, thereby ensuring the supporting stability of the support legs to the platform 1, and further ensuring the stable movement of the battery swap station 4 on the platform 1 and the stable operation of the battery swap station 4.

[0062] Among them, by setting the groove 17, the contact area between the pad 16 and the ground can be reduced, thereby increasing the pressure of the pad 16 on the ground, preventing the pad 16 from sliding relative to the ground, and further ensuring the support stability of the support legs to the platform 1; when the pad 16 contacts the ground, due to the large pressure, the pad 16 will partially sink into the ground, thereby making the cone 18 firmly pressed against the ground, further preventing the pad 16 from sliding relative to the ground, and ensuring the support stability of the support legs to the platform 1.

[0063] It should be noted that the arrangement of the pad 16 on the support rod 15 can be arranged according to actual needs and is not limited to this. For example, the pad 16 is hinged to the end of the support rod 15 away from the sleeve 13.

[0064] The specific types of the groove 17 and the cone 18 can be set according to actual needs and are not limited thereto.

[0065] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the transport system also includes a monitoring room 19, an observation window 20, an operation panel 21 and a server 22. The monitoring room 19 is arranged on the platform 1, the observation window 20 is arranged at one end of the monitoring room 19 close to the battery swap station 4, the operation panel 21 is arranged in the monitoring room 19, and the signal output end of the operation panel 21 is connected to the signal input end of the control component 3. The server 22 is arranged in the monitoring room 19, and the signal input end of the server 22 is connected to the signal output end of the control component 3 and the signal output end of the battery swap station 4, and the signal output end of the server 22 is connected to the signal input end of the monitoring station 29.

[0066] It can be understood that, through the setting of the monitoring room 19, the operating personnel can be in the monitoring room 19 and away from the battery swap station 4, which not only improves the operating safety of the operating personnel, but also makes the operating personnel's work more comfortable; the operating personnel observe the actual position and operating status of the battery swap station 4 through the observation window 20 in the monitoring room 19, and control the battery swap station 4 through the control operation panel 21 at the same time, which not only makes the operation more convenient, but also can achieve precise control of the battery swap station 4, effectively improving the battery replacement efficiency and safety of the battery swap station 4.

[0067] Among them, through the setting of the server 22, it is not only convenient to store the control information in the control component 3 and the operation information of the battery swap station 4, and facilitate the overall system monitoring of the battery swap station 4, but also can realize communication with the external monitoring station 29, which is more convenient to use.

[0068] It should be noted that the specific type of the observation window 20 can be set according to actual needs, and there is no limitation on this. For example, the observation window 20 is made of tempered glass. When the observation window 20 is set on the monitoring room 19, it should be ensured that the operator's perspective can completely cover the battery swap station 4 and the surrounding operating environment of the battery swap station 4.

[0069] The specific type of the monitoring station 29 can be set according to actual needs, and there is no limitation on this. For example, the monitoring station 29 can be a computer, a cloud platform 1, etc.

[0070] The communication method between the server 22 and the monitoring station 29 can be set according to actual needs, and there is no limitation on this. For example, the server 22 and the monitoring station 29 communicate through a wireless communication module; the server 22 and the monitoring station 29 communicate through wired optical fiber.

[0071] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the transport system further includes a main battery 23, a backup battery 24 and a switch 25, the main battery 23 is detachably arranged on the platform 1, the power input end of the backup battery 24 is connected to the power output end of the main battery 23, the first power input end of the switch 25 is connected to the power output end of the main battery 23, the second power input end of the switch 25 is connected to the power output end of the backup battery 24, the power output end of the switch 25 is connected to the power input end of the control component 3, the power input end of the drive component 2, the power input end of the operation panel 21, the power input end of the server 22 and the power input end of the battery swap station 4, and the signal input end of the switch 25 is connected to the signal output end of the control component 3;

[0072] The first power input terminal of the switch 25 is connected to the power output terminal of the switch 25 ; or the second power input terminal of the switch 25 is connected to the power output terminal of the switch 25 .

[0073] It can be understood that when the transport system is operating normally as a whole, the main battery 23 supplies power to the backup battery 24, the control component 3, the operating panel 21, the server 22, the battery swap station 4 and other equipment.
