Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a fast battery swapping system and battery swapping operation method for long-distance trunk transportation vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] New energy vehicles have achieved significant development due to their energy-saving and environmentally friendly characteristics. However, their short range also causes range anxiety among consumers, hindering their widespread adoption. One approach to address range anxiety is to install charging stations. However, these stations struggle to meet the rapid charging needs of vehicles with large battery capacities, thus failing to resolve range anxiety for such vehicles. This short range is particularly pronounced in long-distance transportation scenarios.

[0003] With the development of the industry, related technologies have proposed that the short range of new energy vehicles can be solved by battery swapping technology. Battery swapping technology provides a new approach to solving range anxiety. However, there is still a lack of technical solutions for providing users of new energy vehicles with fast power access based on battery swapping technology, which also affects the implementation and promotion of battery swapping technology.

[0004] In addition, the large and heavy batteries used in long-distance transportation greatly increase the vehicle's own weight and power loss. In the current technology, the battery swapping station, the vehicle, and the operation and service management of the battery swapping station are independent. How to combine the distribution of battery swapping stations, driving distance, the power and efficiency of the vehicle's motor, and the information on the ancillary services of the battery swapping station in real time through Internet cloud management, and connect the three to achieve the Internet of Everything in long-distance transportation, so as to facilitate the use by drivers and the market promotion of battery swapping stations, is a challenge of the current technology.

If the vehicle has already registered to use the cloud-based battery swapping service platform (2), a third promotion message is pushed to the vehicle. The third promotion message includes real-time messages from businesses such as catering, entertainment, repair, and shopping that operate in conjunction with the battery swapping station.

[0018] In one exemplary implementation, the promotion module further generates a second promotion message and pushes the second promotion message to the terminal held by the maintenance personnel of the cloud-based battery swapping service platform (2) to trigger manual service.

[0037] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0038] This disclosure provides a battery swapping operation method, such as Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This illustration shows a schematic flowchart of a battery swapping operation method according to an embodiment of this application. The method includes:

[0039] Step S101: Obtain the origin, destination, and battery information for long-distance transportation of vehicles with quick-swap batteries;

[0040] In this step, the long-distance transportation origin can be obtained through a positioning system (such as GPS or BeiDou satellite positioning system). The destination can be obtained interactively via voice or other means, or by obtaining the user's selection or settings based on the user's triggering of corresponding buttons. Alternatively, it can be obtained through interaction with the user via the in-vehicle infotainment system (referred to as the vehicle system). Of course, other methods can also be used to obtain the vehicle's long-distance transportation origin and destination; this invention does not impose any limitations on these methods.

[0041] The vehicle described in this disclosure may include multiple batteries, each with different specifications and models, and this disclosure does not impose any limitations. In some embodiments, the batteries in the same vehicle may be designed to have multiple capacities and weights. This design allows for the replacement of batteries with different capacities and weights according to actual application needs in different usage scenarios, thereby maximizing energy efficiency and economy.

[0042] Step S102: Determine the long-distance transportation route based on the long-distance transportation origin and destination;

[0043] Step S103: Obtain the distribution information and service information of the battery swapping stations set up along the long-distance transportation route;

[0044] The distribution information of battery swapping stations in this disclosure includes the station's identifier and location. The service information includes the services that each station can currently provide to vehicles, which may be at least one of battery maintenance, battery hosting, battery charging, and / or battery leasing. The battery maintenance and battery hosting services allow users to leave their batteries at the swapping stations, thereby increasing the vehicle's range through weight reduction. The charging service allows the vehicle to be charged, and the battery leasing service allows users to rent fully charged batteries, providing battery swapping services by replacing depleted batteries with fully charged ones.

[0045] Step S104: Determine the long-distance transportation road conditions based on the long-distance transportation route;

[0046] Step S105: Obtain the vehicle model information and determine the corresponding motor drive strategy based on the vehicle model information;

[0047] Step S106: Determine the estimated long-distance travel value of the vehicle based on the motor drive strategy, the long-distance transport route, and the long-distance transport road conditions;

[0048] The estimated travel time for long-distance transportation varies depending on road conditions. In some embodiments, the long-distance transportation route can be segmented according to road conditions, and the estimated travel time for each segment can be calculated and then summarized to obtain the estimated long-distance travel time. In this disclosure, the estimated travel time can be measured in mileage or time, but the specific measurement method is not limited.

[0049] Long-distance transport road conditions can include two parts: congestion and road surface conditions. By constructing a road condition mapping table, road conditions can be classified into levels. Based on the classification results, long-distance transport routes can be segmented, and the estimated travel value for each segment can be calculated. This allows the estimated travel value to be accurately quantified, improving the accuracy of long-distance travel value calculation.

[0050] In related technologies, many vehicles use a single high-torque, low-speed drive motor paired with a fixed-ratio reduction gear. This results in a heavy electric drive system, high manufacturing costs, and insufficient power performance at medium and high speeds. Therefore, in some embodiments of this disclosure, a multi-motor drive strategy can be implemented in the vehicle to improve motor efficiency and reduce the cost of the electric drive system. This allows the vehicle to achieve better driving range, reduce power consumption, and improve driving performance under various road conditions, ultimately enhancing long-distance driving performance.

[0051] In one embodiment, the motor drive strategy includes a first drive strategy and a second drive strategy. The first drive strategy describes the operating state of the drive motor under each road condition, and the second drive strategy describes the operating state of the drive motor under each gear. The operating state of the drive motor is characterized by the number of drive motors in operating states and the power consumption of each drive motor in operating states. The first and second drive strategies can also be used in parallel to obtain the operating states of the drive motors under different road conditions and at different gears. The estimated driving value for each segment is calculated based on the operating states of the drive motors.

[0052] For example, a schematic diagram of the working state of a drive motor is shown below. Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2This diagram illustrates the operating states of the drive motor according to an embodiment of this application. During actual vehicle operation, the combination of various power sources can result in eight different drive motor operating states, each corresponding to a driving mode (operating mode). When only one drive motor is operating and the gear shifter is in first gear, it is defined as the first gear pure electric drive mode EV1; when only one drive motor is operating and the gear shifter is in second gear, it is defined as the second gear pure electric drive mode EV2; when two drive motors are operating and the gear shifter is in first gear, it is defined as the third gear pure electric drive mode EV3; when two drive motors are operating and the gear shifter is in second gear, it is defined as the fourth gear pure electric drive mode EV4; when three drive motors are operating and the gear shifter is in first gear, it is defined as the fifth gear pure electric drive mode EV5; when three drive motors are operating and the gear shifter is in second gear, it is defined as the sixth gear pure electric drive mode EV6; when four drive motors are operating simultaneously and the gear shifter is in first gear, it is defined as the seventh gear pure electric drive mode EV7; and when four drive motors are operating simultaneously and the gear shifter is in second gear, it is defined as the eighth gear pure electric drive mode EV8.

[0053] Step S107: Determine the current remaining driving range of the vehicle using the battery information;

[0054] Step S108: Determine whether the battery swapping plan meets the planning conditions based on the current remaining driving value and the estimated long-distance driving value;

[0055] In one embodiment, if the difference between the current remaining mileage and the estimated long-distance mileage is less than a first preset threshold, it is determined that the battery swapping scheme planning conditions are met. The first preset threshold can be set according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not limit its specific setting method or value.

[0056] Step S109: If the conditions are met, at least one battery swapping plan is generated based on the distribution information and service information of the battery swapping stations and the battery information, and the at least one battery swapping plan is pushed to the vehicle.

[0057] In one embodiment, the generation of at least one battery swapping scheme based on the distribution and service information of the battery swapping stations and the battery information, such as... Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This illustration shows a process diagram of generating at least one battery swapping scheme based on the distribution information and service information of the battery swapping stations and the battery information, according to an embodiment of this application. The process includes:

[0058] Step S20461: Based on the distribution information and service information of the battery swapping stations, and the battery information, determine at least one target battery swapping station and the target service provided by the at least one target battery swapping station;

[0059] Step S20463: Generate at least one candidate battery swapping scheme based on the identifier, location, and target service of the at least one target battery swapping station;

[0060] Step S20465: Based on the preset scheme selection conditions, determine at least one battery swapping scheme from the at least one candidate battery swapping scheme.

[0061] This disclosure does not limit the selection conditions of the preset scheme. For example, the candidate battery swapping schemes can be sorted in ascending order of charging, and the top N candidate battery swapping schemes can be determined as the battery swapping scheme.

[0062] For example, at least one battery swapping solution can be determined from the at least one candidate battery swapping solution based on the user's driving habits. This could be based on factors such as proximity, shortest travel time, or whether additional services such as catering are available.

[0063] In one embodiment, determining at least one target battery swapping station based on the distribution information and service information of the battery swapping stations, and the battery information, includes:

[0064] Step S20462: Determine the most recent inspection status of the battery corresponding to each battery identifier based on each battery identifier;

[0065] Step S20464: Based on the most recent inspection status and the vehicle's operating parameters, make a first judgment to determine whether the battery corresponding to each battery identifier needs maintenance;

[0066] For example, the vehicle's operating parameters can be the vehicle's operating time or mileage since the most recent inspection. For new energy vehicles, users not only experience range anxiety but also performance degradation anxiety. This means that the performance of a new energy vehicle's battery gradually declines with use, leading to reduced usable energy, increased internal resistance, decreased consistency, increased temperature rise, and reduced safety. Related technologies typically only provide remedial measures after a battery safety issue occurs and cannot provide timely assessment of the battery's condition. To provide users with more comprehensive power access services based on battery swapping stations, a cloud-based battery swapping service platform can perform timely assessments of the vehicle's battery. This platform can record battery maintenance, upkeep, charging, and assessment activities, updating the battery's inspection status in each record to obtain the most recent inspection status. Based on the most recent inspection status and the vehicle's operating parameters, a first judgment is made to determine whether the battery corresponding to each battery identifier requires maintenance.

[0067] In one embodiment, the battery requiring maintenance cannot be charged but can participate in battery swapping. If the battery requiring maintenance is replaced at the battery swapping station, it can then participate in repairs at the station, thus combining battery repair and battery swapping to further provide convenience for users.

[0068] Step S20466: Perform a second judgment based on the battery power corresponding to each battery identifier to determine whether the battery corresponding to each battery identifier needs to be replaced;

[0069] Step S20468: Determine the target battery swapping station based on the first judgment result, the second judgment result, and the distribution and service information of the battery swapping stations.

[0070] In this disclosure, every battery in the vehicle can be replaced, but only batteries that do not require maintenance can be charged. Based on the first and second judgment results, combined with the distribution and service information of the battery swapping stations, a target battery swapping station can be determined. The specific determination method can be based on preset planning rules, and this disclosure does not specifically limit it. For example, the planning rules can prioritize battery swapping services for batteries requiring swapping, and can prioritize battery swapping services for batteries with the lowest charge level. When the battery charge is within a preset charge level range, charging services can be prioritized for that battery.

[0071] In one embodiment, a target battery swapping plan can be obtained based on interaction with the vehicle. The cloud-based battery swapping service platform can push at least one battery swapping plan to the vehicle. In response to a user's selection command, one of the at least one battery swapping plan can be designated as the target battery swapping plan, meaning the vehicle will execute the target battery swapping plan. After obtaining the target battery swapping plan, the cloud-based battery swapping service platform can perform the following actions:

[0072] The current location of the vehicle can be obtained in real time;

[0073] If the distance between the current location and the target battery swapping station is less than a preset distance threshold, the user is prompted to implement the target energy replenishment plan at the target battery swapping station, which is the battery swapping station closest to the current location in the target battery swapping plan.

[0074] By monitoring the vehicle's location in real time and providing timely reminders to users, it is possible to prevent users from missing the battery swapping stations in their target battery swapping plan.

[0075] In one embodiment, after a vehicle arrives at a battery swapping station to execute the target battery swapping plan, the cloud-based battery swapping service platform can update the execution progress of the target battery swapping plan accordingly.

[0076] In one embodiment, in response to a first interactive instruction, the long-distance transportation route, the long-distance transportation road conditions, the battery information, and the distribution and service information of battery swapping stations set along the long-distance transportation route are updated; the step of determining a battery swapping scheme based on the distribution and service information of battery swapping stations set along the long-distance transportation route and the battery information is repeated.

[0077] In one embodiment, if a user misses a battery swapping station in the target battery swapping plan, the station in the target battery swapping plan is not performing the services of the target battery swapping plan, or the user is not swapping or charging at another battery swapping station in the target battery swapping plan, a first interaction command can be triggered. This allows the cloud-based battery swapping service platform to respond to the first interaction command and update the long-distance transportation route, the long-distance transportation road conditions, the battery information, and the distribution and service information of battery swapping stations along the long-distance transportation route. The steps are then repeated: determining a battery swapping plan based on the distribution and service information of battery swapping stations along the long-distance transportation route and the battery information.

[0078] For example, the first interactive command can be issued by the vehicle or by the battery swapping station. By issuing the first interactive command, the cloud-based battery swapping service platform can be triggered to reassess whether the vehicle needs to swap batteries on the remaining long-distance transportation route and to replan for it.

[0079] The second aspect of this disclosure provides a battery swapping operation method, and provides a cloud-based battery swapping service platform for the above method, the method comprising:

[0080] Vehicles with quick battery swapping capabilities transmit long-distance transport origin, destination, and battery information to a cloud-based battery swapping service platform.

[0081] The cloud-based battery swapping service platform acquires the vehicle's long-distance transportation origin, destination, and battery information; determines the long-distance transportation route based on the origin and destination; acquires the distribution and service information of battery swapping stations along the long-distance transportation route; determines the long-distance transportation road conditions based on the long-distance transportation route; acquires the vehicle's model information; determines the corresponding motor drive strategy based on the model information; determines the vehicle's long-distance driving estimate based on the motor drive strategy, the long-distance transportation route, and the long-distance transportation road conditions; determines the vehicle's current remaining driving value through the battery information; judges whether the current remaining driving value and the long-distance driving estimate meet the battery swapping plan planning conditions based on the current remaining driving value and the long-distance driving estimate; if they meet the conditions, it generates at least one battery swapping plan based on the distribution and service information of the battery swapping stations and the battery information, and pushes the at least one battery swapping plan to the vehicle.

[0082] The vehicle proceeds to the battery swapping station in the battery swapping scheme to swap batteries according to the battery swapping scheme.

[0083] In one embodiment, only registered vehicles can enjoy the various services of the cloud-based battery swapping service platform. Therefore, upon first interacting with the cloud-based battery swapping service platform, the vehicle should first be registered on the platform. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This application illustrates a flowchart of a vehicle registration cloud service platform, showing the vehicle registration steps, including:

[0084] Step S1001: The vehicle accesses the cloud-based battery swapping service platform and registers with the platform.

[0085] Step S1002: The cloud-based battery swapping service platform verifies the vehicle based on the registration information;

[0086] Step S1003: If the verification is successful, the vehicle registration is successful.

[0087] The verification process ensures the authenticity and validity of the information provided during registration. Registration in this disclosure can be free or paid. For paid registration, payment can be made after verification is successful; registration is only considered complete upon successful payment. Payment can be made via WeChat or Alipay; this disclosure does not restrict the specific payment method.

[0088] In one embodiment, the cloud-based battery swapping service platform can also extract the target battery swapping stations in the battery swapping scheme, generate corresponding reservation information for each target battery swapping station according to the battery swapping scheme, and push the reservation information to the target battery swapping station so that the target battery swapping station can provide services to the vehicle according to the reservation information.

[0089] In one embodiment, the reservation information may include a battery swapping station identifier, a reservation service, a reservation service time, and a service battery identifier. The reservation service time is estimated based on the long-distance transportation route, road conditions, current vehicle location, and current time. The service battery identifier is the identifier of the battery being serviced in the vehicle. For example, if the battery swapping solution includes the following:

[0090] (1) Replace the No. 1 battery in the vehicle at the battery swap station marked 0001;

[0091] (2) At the battery swapping station marked 0008, swap the No. 3 battery in the vehicle, charge the No. 4 battery, and unload the No. 5 battery.

[0092] Accordingly, two reservation information can be generated, reservation information 1 and reservation information 2. Reservation information 1 is sent to the battery swap station with the identifier 0001, and reservation information 2 is sent to the battery swap station with the identifier 0008.

[0093] For example, reservation information 1 includes the following:

[0094] Appointment service: Battery swapping service; Service battery identifier: 1; Appointment service time: 14:00-14:30;

[0095] Appointment service: Charging service; Service battery identifier: two; Appointment service time: 14:00-14:30;

[0096] Reservation information 2 includes the following:

[0099] Appointment Service: Uninstallation Service; Service Battery Identifier: Five; Appointment Service Hours: 18:00-18:30;

[0100] This disclosed embodiment enables timely generation of battery swapping plans for vehicles through three-way interaction between vehicles, cloud-based battery swapping service platforms, and battery swapping stations. It also coordinates battery swapping stations and vehicles to ensure the smooth implementation of battery swapping plans, shorten vehicle waiting time at battery swapping stations, and improve power acquisition efficiency.

[0101] This disclosure also provides a fast battery swapping system for long-haul trunk transportation, such as... Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of a fast battery swapping system for long-haul trunk transportation according to an embodiment of this application. The system includes:

[0102] Multiple battery swapping stations 1 are set up at intervals along long-distance trunk lines to quickly swap batteries for vehicles 3 and charge their batteries;

[0103] The cloud-based battery swapping service platform 2 connects the battery swapping station 1 and the vehicle 3 via the network; it is used to manage the battery swapping station and provide services to the vehicle 3.

[0104] Vehicle 3, which can quickly swap batteries, can obtain the distribution information, battery status information and service information of battery swapping stations 1 through the cloud-based battery swapping service platform 2.

[0105] The vehicle 3 with a quick-swap battery described in this embodiment can be a pure electric vehicle, a range-extended electric vehicle, or a plug-in hybrid vehicle. The vehicle includes a truck, a dump truck, a tractor, and / or a semi-trailer. This embodiment does not limit the type and model of the vehicle with a quick-swap battery.

[0106] For example, the battery swapping station 1 can be set up along long-distance trunk lines, such as two adjacent battery swapping stations 1 being 30 to 600 kilometers apart on a long-distance trunk line. By ensuring the deployment density of battery swapping stations, it is ensured that vehicles can obtain sufficient power replenishment during long-distance travel.

[0107] The cloud-based battery swapping service platform 2 is used to perform the following operations:

[0108] Obtain the long-distance transportation origin, destination, and battery information of vehicle 3 with quick battery replacement, and determine the long-distance transportation route based on the long-distance transportation origin and destination.

[0109] Obtain the distribution and service information of battery swapping stations set up along the long-distance transportation route;

[0110] Determine long-distance transport road conditions based on the described long-distance transport route;

[0111] Obtain the vehicle model information of the vehicle 3 with quick battery replacement, and determine the corresponding motor drive strategy based on the vehicle model information;

[0112] Obtain the vehicle model information and determine the corresponding motor drive strategy based on the vehicle model information;

[0113] The estimated long-distance travel value of the vehicle is determined based on the motor drive strategy, the long-distance transport route, and the long-distance transport road conditions.

[0114] The current remaining driving range of the vehicle is determined using the battery information;

[0115] Determine whether the battery swapping plan meets the planning conditions based on the current remaining driving value and the estimated long-distance driving value.

[0116] If the conditions are met, at least one battery swapping plan is generated based on the distribution and service information of the battery swapping stations and the battery information, and the at least one battery swapping plan is pushed to the vehicle.

[0117] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6The diagram shows a logic block diagram of a battery swapping station according to an embodiment of this application. Each battery swapping station 1 can provide battery leasing services. By providing battery leasing services to vehicles, vehicles can remove their low-charge batteries and replace them with rented fully charged batteries. The battery fast swapping device 11 of the battery swapping station 1 can automatically swap batteries for users, thereby reducing the difficulty of battery swapping.

[0118] The battery swapping station 1 may also include a battery storage device 12, a battery charging device 13, and a battery maintenance device 14. The battery storage device 12 can provide battery hosting services and store the batteries within the swapping station. In long-distance transportation scenarios, users can reduce vehicle weight by removing the battery, thereby achieving a longer driving range. The battery storage device 12 can provide battery hosting services and storage services for removed batteries.

[0119] The battery charging device 13 can be used to provide charging services, thereby increasing the vehicle's driving range by quickly charging the battery in the vehicle. In one embodiment, the battery charging device 13 and the battery fast-swapping device 11 can operate in parallel on the same vehicle, charging other batteries that are not participating in the battery swap while the vehicle is swapping its battery, thereby shortening the time the vehicle spends at the battery swapping station and significantly improving the vehicle's power acquisition efficiency.

[0120] In one embodiment, the battery charging device 13 can also provide users with separate charging, that is, it can charge the low-charge battery replaced by the battery quick-change device 11, and after charging is completed, the battery can be stored in the battery storage device 12.

[0121] The battery maintenance device 14 can be used to test and maintain the battery.

[0122] In one embodiment, the battery swapping station 1 may further include a battery swapping station control unit 15, for communicating with the cloud-based battery swapping service platform 2, and for controlling the battery storage device 12, battery charging device 13, battery fast swapping device 11, and battery maintenance device 14.

[0123] To facilitate battery swapping services provided by battery swapping station 1 for vehicles engaged in long-distance transportation, this disclosure includes a cloud-based battery swapping service platform 2, which is described as follows: Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 This application illustrates a cloud-based battery swapping service logic block diagram, including:

[0124] The battery swapping solution processing module 21 is used to determine the battery swapping solution based on the distribution information and service information of the battery swapping stations set up along the long-distance transportation route and the battery information of the vehicle 3, and to push the battery swapping solution to the vehicle 3 for free or for a fee.

[0125] The battery swapping station management module 22 is used to interact with the battery swapping station 1 and to manage the battery swapping station 1.

[0126] The vehicle real-time interaction module 23 is used to interact with vehicle 3, issue reminders to vehicle 3, and provide real-time services to vehicle 3.

[0127] In one embodiment, the cloud-based battery swapping service platform 2 can interact with the vehicle 3 based on the vehicle real-time interaction module 23 to obtain the vehicle 3's driving information and battery information in order to plan a battery swapping scheme for the vehicle 3. It can also monitor the status of the vehicle 3 in a timely manner, provide battery swapping reminders for the vehicle 3, and update the battery swapping scheme.

[0128] In one embodiment, the cloud-based battery swapping service platform 2 can interact with the battery swapping station 1 based on the battery swapping station management module 22 to obtain service information for each battery swapping station 1. For example, it can obtain the services that the battery swapping station 1 can currently provide to the vehicle. These services can be at least one of battery swapping, battery charging, battery hosting, and battery repair services. The cloud-based battery swapping service platform 2 can perform battery swapping planning for the vehicle 3 based on this service information, the vehicle 3's driving information, and battery information. If the vehicle 3 confirms the use of a certain battery swapping plan, it can also send the confirmed battery swapping plan to the battery swapping station in the plan, thereby making a reservation with that station. This way, when the vehicle arrives at the station according to the battery swapping plan, the station can quickly provide the reserved service in the battery swapping plan to the vehicle.

[0129] In one embodiment, the cloud-based battery swapping service platform 2 further includes a promotion module 24, used to identify vehicles undergoing battery swapping. If the vehicle has not registered for the battery swapping solution push service on the cloud-based battery swapping service platform 2, a first promotional message for promoting the cloud-based battery swapping service platform 2 is generated and pushed to the vehicle 3. By pushing the first promotional message, vehicle users can be prompted to register, and informed that they can enjoy subsequent battery swapping solution push services through free or paid registration, thereby increasing the number of users and facilitating the promotion of the cloud-based battery swapping service platform's services. If the vehicle has already registered for the cloud-based battery swapping service platform 2, a third promotional message is pushed to the vehicle. The third promotional message includes real-time information about businesses such as restaurants, entertainment venues, repair shops, and shopping centers that operate affiliated with the battery swapping station.

[0130] In one embodiment, the promotion module 24 further generates a second promotion message and pushes it to the terminal held by the maintenance personnel of the cloud-based battery swapping service platform 2 to trigger manual service. After receiving the second promotion message, the maintenance personnel can provide vehicle users with relevant information about the cloud-based battery swapping service platform through manual service, which helps to increase the number of users of the cloud-based battery swapping service platform and increase operating revenue.

[0131] In one embodiment, the driver can be allowed to drive in different driving modes, and the vehicle can operate with multiple motor drive strategies. Different driving modes can employ different motor drive strategies, thereby increasing the diversity of motor drive strategies during actual driving. Selecting a suitable motor drive strategy can save power and increase driving range. To promptly obtain the motor drive strategy used by the vehicle, reasonably estimate the battery range, and plan and push battery swapping solutions to the user, the vehicle real-time interaction module 23 is also used to acquire the vehicle's driving mode. The vehicle driving mode includes an intelligent mode and a driver takeover mode. In the intelligent mode, the driver autonomously selects the motor drive strategy based on the load weight. In the driver takeover mode, the driver autonomously selects the motor drive strategy. The motor drive strategy supports single-motor mode and / or multi-motor mode.

[0132] In one embodiment, vehicle 3 includes a power battery module, which is fixed to the longitudinal beam of the vehicle frame via a locking device. The power battery module includes a battery and a battery bracket, with the battery installed within the battery bracket. The battery and battery bracket are arranged in a gantry structure. The battery bracket includes a first bracket, a second bracket, and a third bracket connected end-to-end. The first and third brackets are respectively vertically positioned at both ends of the second bracket. The second bracket is horizontally fixed to the top of the longitudinal beam of the frame and is connected to the longitudinal beam of the frame via the vertically positioned locking device. The locking device includes a lock core assembly connected to the power battery module and a lock body assembly integrally connected to the longitudinal beam of the frame. The lock body assembly can engage with the lock core assembly. Vehicle 3, through its safety structure design for the battery (especially the power battery), achieves a simple and safe power battery structure. The power battery module functions as an energy supply device while also withstanding various external forces. It allows for efficient and reliable battery swapping, and rapid locking and fastening or separation of the power battery and heavy-duty vehicle. It requires no changes to the overall vehicle structure, making it highly adaptable and easy to promote. This power battery design integrates the power battery and its frame into a single, unified structure. By distributing the load across multiple points, it ensures the power battery remains undamaged and maintains its accurate position under forces in the vertical, horizontal, and forward / backward directions, as well as under pitch, tilt, and rotational torques. The power battery mounting bracket enables rapid positioning of the power battery and heavy-duty vehicles, while a quick-locking mechanism allows for rapid locking or separation of the power battery and heavy-duty vehicles.

[0133] This disclosure provides a rapid battery swapping system for long-distance trunk transportation. By setting up battery swapping stations along long-distance transportation routes, it can provide battery swapping services for vehicles in long-distance transportation scenarios, alleviating range anxiety. Based on a cloud-based battery swapping service platform, it can automatically customize battery swapping plans for vehicles in a timely manner. This allows vehicles in long-distance transportation to simply go to battery swapping stations along the long-distance route to swap or charge their batteries, thereby alleviating drivers' driving anxiety and promoting the use of new energy vehicles. This enables new energy vehicles to be widely used in long-distance transportation scenarios.
