[0053] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4The battery compartment bidirectional door mechanism comprises: a door main frame 1, installed at the entrance and exit of the battery compartment; an electric push rod Ⅰ2, one end of which is hinged on the door main frame 1, and the other end is connected to the upper door 5 through the upper door push rod 304 on the upper door 5; a hinge Ⅰ3 is installed on the outer side of the upper door, one end of which is installed on the door main frame 1, and the other end of which is installed on the upper door 5, and the upper door 5 can rotate along the pin shaft of the hinge Ⅰ3; the upper door 5 is installed on the door main frame through the hinge Ⅰ3 1, the upper door 5 can rotate along the pin of the hinge Ⅰ3; the electric push rod Ⅱ202, one end of which is connected to the door frame 1 through the pin, and the other end is connected to the lower door 7; the lower door 7 is connected to the door frame 1 through the hinge Ⅱ303; the fan-shaped rain cloth 4 is arranged in the gap on both sides of the upper door 5 and the door frame 1, one end of which is connected to the upper door 5, and the other end of which is connected to the door frame 1; the brush 6 is connected to the side of the upper door 5 away from the mounting pin.
[0054] In the above scheme, the main frame of the door 1: is located at the entrance and exit of the battery compartment, providing the main support and fixed base of the mechanism;
[0055] Electric push rod Ⅰ2: one end is hinged on the main frame 1 of the warehouse door, and the other end pushes the upper warehouse door 5 through the upper warehouse door push rod 304 to control the opening and closing of the upper warehouse door 5;
[0056] Hinge Ⅰ3: installed at the connection between the upper door 5 and the door frame 1, installed on the outside of the upper door 5, as a connecting piece, so that the upper door 5 can rotate or swing along the pin of the hinge Ⅰ3;
[0057] Upper door 5: mounted on the door frame 1 through hinge Ⅰ3, and can be rotated along its pin axis to open or close the battery compartment;
[0058] Electric push rod II 202: one end is installed on the main frame 1 of the warehouse door through a pin shaft, and the other end is connected to the lower warehouse door 7, which is used to control the opening and closing of the lower warehouse door;
[0059] Lower door 7: connected to the door frame 1 via hinge II 303, used to open or close another part of the battery compartment;
[0060] Fan-shaped rain cloth 4: set in the gap between the upper door 5 and the door frame 1 to protect the interior from rain erosion;
[0061] Brush 6: Installed on the non-pin shaft side of the upper door 5, the brush 6 is a flexible structure. When opened, it will not scratch the car due to the close distance of the car, ensuring that the battery replacement process is blocked when the upper door is opened. The contact between the brush and the car can completely block the car without damaging it, and cooperate with the lower door to prevent foreign objects and rainwater from entering the gap.
[0062] This embodiment can achieve effective control of the upper door 5 and the lower door 7 through the operation of the electric push rod I2 and the electric push rod II202, ensuring the efficiency of the battery replacement process and the protection of the environment.
[0063] In a possible implementation, when the electric push rod Ⅰ2 is extended, it pushes the upper warehouse door 5 to open outward.
[0064] In the above scheme, when the electric push rod Ⅰ2 is extended, it pushes the upper door 5 to open outwards, thereby realizing the opening of the upper door.
[0065] Hinge Ⅰ3: One end is fixedly connected to the main frame 1 of the warehouse door, and the other end is connected to the upper warehouse door 5. The design of hinge Ⅰ3 allows the upper warehouse door 5 to rotate along the pin shaft at its center, and effectively converts the thrust of the electric push rod Ⅰ2 into the opening action of the upper warehouse door.
[0066] Upper door 5: connected to the door main frame 1 through hinge Ⅰ3, so that it rotates around the pin shaft. When the electric push rod Ⅰ2 is extended, the driving force is transmitted to the upper door 5 through the upper door push rod 304. Due to the connecting action of hinge Ⅰ3, the driving force is converted into rotational torque, causing the upper door 5 to swing outward.
[0067] In a possible implementation, when the electric push rod II 202 contracts, the lower compartment door 7 opens inward.
[0068] In the above scheme, the electric push rod II 202 is connected to the main frame 1 of the warehouse door through a pin shaft and can perform a contraction action under signal drive.
[0069] Hinge II 303: connects the main frame 1 of the door and the lower door 7. When the electric push rod II 202 contracts, the lower door 7 rotates inward along the connection between the hinge II 303 and the main frame 1 of the door.
[0070] In a possible implementation, when the upper compartment door 5 and the lower compartment door 7 are closed, the entrance and exit of the battery compartment are sealed.
[0071] In the above scheme, the upper door 5 and the lower door 7, when in the closed state, cooperate with the door main frame 1 to ensure that there is no gap. For example, sealing can be achieved by installing rubber or soft plastic strips on the edge of the door, which not only improves the sealing performance but also reduces wear.
[0072] In a possible implementation, it also includes: a camera lens 10, installed on the battery-exchanging vehicle.
[0073] In the above scheme, when the battery-swapping trolley replaces the battery at the upper compartment door 5, the battery is visually positioned through the camera lens 10 on the battery-swapping trolley; after the identification point of the battery compartment is photographed, the position of the trolley relative to the battery compartment is fed back to the system, and the size is adjusted for accurate capture. To ensure the correctness and safety of the operation, the camera lens can be high-definition and can effectively shoot under low light conditions.
[0074] In a possible implementation, one end of the electric push rod Ⅰ2 is hinged to the warehouse door main frame 1 through a pin shaft.
[0075] In the above scheme, the electric push rod Ⅰ2 is hingedly installed on the warehouse door main frame 1 through a pin shaft, so that it can rotate in a small range, push the upper warehouse door push rod 304, and then push the upper warehouse door to rotate.
[0076] In a possible implementation, the hinge II 303 is installed on the inner side of the lower compartment door 7 .
[0077] In the above solution, the electric push rod II 303 pushes the lower door 7 to rotate inward along the hinge II 303, thereby realizing the inward opening of the lower door 7.
[0078] See also Figure 5 When the electric car 8 goes to the battery compartment to replace the battery, the upper compartment door 5 opens outward, the lower compartment door 7 opens inward, and the battery 301 extends out of the battery compartment entrance and exit to the front end of the electric car 8 to complete the battery replacement.
[0079] The two-way door device includes a door frame 1, an electric push rod Ⅰ2, an electric push rod Ⅱ202, a hinge Ⅰ3, a fan-shaped rain cloth 4, an upper door 5, a brush 6, and a lower door 7. The tail ends of the two electric push rods are connected to the frame through pins, one electric push rod protruding end is connected to the connecting rod of the upper door through a hinge, and the other is installed on the mounting seat of the lower door. The upper door and the lower door are connected to the frame through hinges, one end of the fan-shaped rain cloth is connected to the upper door, and the other end is connected to the frame, and the brush is connected to the upper door.
[0080] Door system: The upper door 5 and the lower door 7 are connected to the electric push rod Ⅰ2 through the pin shaft, and the electric push rod Ⅰ2 is fixed to the main frame 1 of the door of the battery swap station through the pin shaft. The upper door 5 is an outward opening type, connected to the main frame 1 of the door of the battery swap station through the hinge 3. The fan-shaped tarpaulin 4 is fixed to the upper door 5 on one side and to the main frame 1 of the door of the battery swap station on the other side. When the upper door 5 is opened, the brush 6 on the upper door contacts the car 8, and the fan-shaped tarpaulin 4 opens to cover the battery and the camera lens 10 on the battery swap car. The lower door 7 is an inward opening type, connected to the main frame 1 of the door of the battery swap station through the hinge Ⅱ303. The electric push rod Ⅱ202 shrinks and pulls the lower door 7 to be flush with the bottom of the main frame 1 of the door of the battery swap station.
[0081] The above-mentioned embodiment of the battery compartment bidirectional door mechanism of the electric vehicle battery replacement system realizes the outward opening of the upper compartment door through the coordinated work of the electric push rod I and the hinge I, while the action of the electric push rod II controls the inward opening of the lower compartment door, thereby effectively realizing the bidirectional opening function. The sealing design of the upper compartment door and the lower compartment door optimizes the sealing performance of the battery compartment, improves the efficiency and safety of battery replacement, and further enhances the intelligence of the system and the convenience of user operation.

[0090] The lifting and adjusting seat 415 is fixed to the battery-swapping trolley frame 416 by bolts to realize the lifting and lowering adjustment of the battery-swapping trolley.
[0091] The battery swap trolley is mounted on the battery swap trolley frame 416, see Figure 5 , the camera lens 10 detects that the battery 301 reaches the front end of the electric car 8; or see Figure 2 The lifting system 40 is placed between the battery compartment 302 and the compartment door. The battery 301 stops when it reaches the layer where the battery compartment 302 is located, and the battery replacement operation is performed.
[0092] When the motor 48 is started, the coaxially connected sprocket I 46 rotates, driving the sprocket II 49 and the sprocket III 461 to transmit power to the sprocket IV 411 through the chain, and the flat belt 44 is pulled by the pulley 43, so that the lifting and adjusting seat 415 moves up and down along the guide wheel 45, realizing the lifting and lowering function of the battery-changing trolley.
[0093] This embodiment uses a combination of multiple sprockets and pulleys driven by a motor to achieve smooth lifting and lowering of the battery exchange cart, allowing it to move between the various layers of the battery compartment 302 and automatically store and retrieve batteries, thereby improving battery exchange efficiency and safety.

[0097] In the above scheme, the elevator guide rail 413 cooperates with the guide shoe 412 to realize the smooth up and down movement of the battery swapping trolley frame 416 along the elevator guide rail 413. The nested setting of the guide shoe 412 and the elevator guide rail 413 ensures the stability and accuracy of the battery swapping trolley during the vertical movement, so that the battery swapping trolley has better guidance and stability during the lifting process, reduces operational errors caused by path deviation, and improves the safety and efficiency of the battery swapping operation.
[0098] In a possible implementation, the flat belt guide wheels 45 are installed at the four corners of the overall frame 41 of the battery swap station.
[0099] In the above scheme, the flat belt guide wheels 45 are installed at the four corners of the main frame 41 of the battery swap station, effectively guiding the flat belt 44 to maintain balance and stability during the lifting and lowering process of the lifting and adjusting seat 415. This position arrangement makes the force on the flat belt more uniform, avoiding the flat belt from being offset or twisted during the pulling process.
[0100] In a possible implementation, the diameter of sprocket I 46 is smaller than the diameter of sprocket II 49 ; the diameter of sprocket III 461 is smaller than the diameter of sprocket IV 411 .
[0101] The output shaft of motor 48 is connected to sprocket I46, sprocket I46 is connected to sprocket II49 through a chain, forming a first-stage reduction, sprocket I46 is sprocket Z15, sprocket II49 is sprocket Z30; sprocket II49 is coaxial with sprocket III461, sprocket III461 and sprocket IV411 form a second-stage reduction through a chain, sprocket III461 is sprocket Z15, sprocket IV411 is sprocket Z30, ensuring the stable operating speed of the lifting system.
[0102] In a possible implementation manner, the elevator guide rail 413 and the guide shoe 412 are respectively nested groove structures.
[0103] In the above solution, the groove structure of the elevator guide rail 413 and the guide shoe 412 allows the guide shoe to be stably embedded in the elevator guide rail, providing smooth and precise vertical guidance, while allowing the guide shoe to slide easily in the guide rail.
[0104] In a possible implementation, there are four groups of elevator guide rails 413 and guide shoes 412, which are respectively arranged at the four corners of the main frame 41 of the battery swap station.
[0105] In the above solution, the configuration of four sets of elevator guide rails and guide shoes provides four points of support, ensuring the stability and balance of the battery swap trolley during the lifting process, dispersing the load, reducing the pressure on a single guide rail, and improving the carrying capacity and operational safety of the entire system.
[0106] In the above-mentioned embodiment of the electric vehicle battery exchange system battery exchange trolley lifting system, the arrangement of the motor and the multi-stage sprocket transmission structure makes the movement of the lifting mechanism more stable and efficient. At the same time, through the coordinated action of the double-layer flat belt and the guide wheel, the lifting and adjusting seat can be accurately moved within the overall frame, thereby realizing the rapid positioning and stable support of the battery exchange trolley; the guiding device, including elevator guide rails and guide shoes, ensures the stability and guiding accuracy of the battery exchange trolley during the vertical movement, prevents potential swinging or deviation, and improves the safety and reliability of the entire battery exchange process; realizes the automation of battery storage when the front end of the electric vehicle is replaced, improves the battery replacement efficiency and automation level, and improves the accuracy of the battery replacement operation.
[0107] See also Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In a possible embodiment, the present invention provides a battery storage and charging device for an electric vehicle battery replacement system, including a battery rack 203, a side barrier strip 22, a Furley wheel guide rail 23, a positioning device 24, a flexible charging plug assembly 25 and an automatic anti-retraction device 21, which realizes efficient storage and rapid charging of a battery 301.
[0108] The battery rack 203 constitutes the main structure of the battery storage and charging device, and is composed of transverse and longitudinal frames. Such a configuration not only provides structural stability, but also allows multiple batteries to be stored and charged at the same time. Between the two transverse frames of the battery rack, two corresponding side baffle smooth strips 22 are installed. These strips can effectively guide the batteries to the correct position in the charging device.
[0109] A Furley wheel guide rail 23 is installed between every two side barrier smooth bars 22. The guide rail is equipped with a number of Furley wheels. These wheels support the battery 301 to move in and out easily along the guide rail. The setting of the Furley wheels reduces the friction when the battery moves, making the battery placement and removal process smoother.
[0110] The battery rack 203 is also provided with an automatic anti-retraction device 21, which is located between two side barrier strips 22 and is used to prevent the battery from sliding back after it is in place, thereby ensuring the stability of the battery during the charging process.
[0111] The flexible charging plug assembly 25 is configured as a resiliently movable charging head that can be aligned with and connected to the charging port of the battery 301, so that the charging plug can adapt to battery charging ports in different positions, thereby improving the flexibility and reliability of charging. The flexible charging plug assembly 25 is placed on the battery rack 203, relative to the other end of the automatic anti-retraction device 21.
[0112] The positioning device 24 is installed on the battery rack 203 and is arranged corresponding to the flexible charging plug assembly 25. Its main function is to guide the battery 301 to be correctly connected to the flexible charging plug assembly 25 to ensure the accuracy and safety of the charging connection.
[0113] The battery storage and charging device of the electric vehicle battery replacement system of the present invention, firstly, greatly reduces the friction of the battery moving in and out through the arrangement of the side baffle smooth strips and the Furley wheel guide rails, thereby improving the smoothness of operation; secondly, the automatic anti-retraction device ensures the stability of the battery during the charging process to prevent the battery from being accidentally moved out; in addition, the arrangement of the flexible charging plug assembly plays a buffering role when the battery enters, automatically aligns the battery interface position, ensures a pre-pressure between the charging plug and the battery plug, prevents false connection, and improves the charging efficiency and reliability; finally, the addition of the positioning device further ensures the precise docking of the battery and the charging plug, thereby reducing errors during operation.
[0114] See also Fig.10 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 In a possible implementation, the flexible charging plug assembly 25 includes: a charging head 25.1 connected to the charging interface of the charged object; a mounting plate 25.9, the charging head 25.1 is mounted on one side of the mounting plate 25.9, and a slot for accommodating a mounting head at one end of a guide column 25.7 is provided on the other side of the mounting plate 25.9; the mounting head at one end of the guide column 25.7 is placed in the slot of the mounting plate 25.9; a pressing plate 25.8 is connected to the mounting plate 25.9, and the limiting guide column 25 .7's mounting head is in the slot of the mounting plate 25.9; the other end of the guide column 25.7 passes through the shaft sleeve 25.6 and is sleeved with a stopper 25.4; the guide column 25.7 is provided with a cotter pin 25.5 at the outer end of the stopper 25.4, and the cotter pin 25.5 prevents the guide column 25.7 from falling off from the stopper 25.4; the shaft sleeve 25.6 is installed on the charging plug socket 25.3; the plug spring 25.2 is sleeved outside the guide column 25.7 and is placed between the pressure plate 25.8 and the shaft sleeve 25.6.
[0115] In this embodiment, the charging head 25.1 is fixed by the mounting plate 25.9 to ensure a stable connection with the interface of the charged object. The guide column 25.7 is combined with the slot of the mounting plate 25.9 through the pressure plate 25.8, providing the necessary guiding and supporting functions to ensure the stability and reliability of the entire plug assembly during use. The plug spring 25.2 provides the necessary tension to keep the guide column 25.7 in the appropriate position, while allowing a certain degree of elastic adjustment to adapt to different installation and operating conditions.
[0116] This embodiment improves the operational flexibility and durability of the plug assembly by integrating the guide column 25.7 and the plug spring 25.2. The cotter pin 25.5 prevents the guide column 25.7 from falling off under severe operating conditions, ensuring the safety and reliability of the system. In addition, the structural setting of the entire assembly optimizes the stability of the electrical connection, reduces maintenance costs, and improves ease of use.
[0117] In a possible implementation, the guide post 25.7 can slide along the shaft sleeve 25.6.
[0118] The sliding ability of the guide column 25.7 inside the sleeve 25.6 allows the plug assembly to adapt to different installation angles and positions, which is extremely important when electric vehicles face battery compartments of different models or settings during the battery replacement process, enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the plug; improving the adaptability and user-friendliness of the plug assembly, especially in emergency or non-standard battery replacement operations, which can effectively reduce the difficulty and time of operation.
[0119] In a possible embodiment, the mounting head at one end of the guide column 25.7 has a ball head, and the ball head can rotate in a ball socket on the mounting plate 25.9.
[0120] The setting of the ball head allows one end of the guide column 25.7 to rotate in multiple directions on the mounting plate 25.9, which increases the flexibility during connection and enables the plug to be more easily aligned and connected to the charging port of the battery compartment; it reduces the mechanical stress caused by installation errors, thereby extending the service life of the plug assembly.
[0121] In a possible implementation, two guide columns 25.7 are provided, which are provided on both sides relative to the charging head 25.1.
[0122] Two guide posts 25.7 are used, located on either side of the charging head 25.1, to provide better balance and support for the plug assembly; this helps to evenly distribute the mechanical load from the battery compartment to the charging head, thereby improving overall stability and reliability.
[0123] In a possible implementation, the pressure plate 25.8 is provided with a gap at the mounting head accommodating the guide column 25.7 to adjust the deflectable angle of the charging head.
[0124] Setting the gap allows the pressure plate 25.8 to move freely within a certain range, so that the charging head 25.1 can adjust its angle as needed during the connection process to better align with the charging interface of the battery compartment; the adjustable setting significantly improves the docking flexibility of the charging head and reduces the risk of physical damage caused by improper docking, especially in the automatic battery replacement system, thereby improving the efficiency and safety of operation.
[0125] See also Fig.13The automatic back-stop device 21 includes: a baffle 21.1, a first connecting rod 21.2, a second connecting rod 21.3, a pressure wheel 21.4, a back-stop spring 21.5 and a back-stop seat 21.6; wherein, one end of the baffle 21.1 is connected to the back-stop seat 21.6 through a pin shaft, and the other end is connected to the first connecting rod 21.2; the baffle 21.1 is not connected to the other end of the back-stop seat 21.6, and a back-stop spring 21.5 is provided below, and the back-stop spring 21.5 is installed on the back-stop seat 21.6 below the baffle 21.1, and the baffle 21.1 is lifted under the action of the back-stop spring 21.5. One end of the first connecting rod 21.2 is connected to the second connecting rod 21.3 through a pin shaft, and the other end is connected to the middle part of the second connecting rod through a pin shaft. The pressure wheel is connected to one end of the second connecting rod, and the other end of the second connecting rod is installed on the back-stop seat through a pin shaft. When the pressing wheel rotates along the pin shaft connected to the stop seat, the second connecting rod and the first connecting rod are driven to move, and the blocking piece connected to the first connecting rod is driven to be pressed.
[0126] Baffle 21.1: It is automatically lifted up after the battery passes through to prevent the battery from moving backward.
[0127] The first connecting rod 21.2 and the second connecting rod 21.3 transmit the power of the pressing wheel 21.4 to control the lifting and pressing of the baffle.
[0128] Pressure wheel 21.4: receives external force such as the push of electric push rod III 28, and converts the force into the movement of the baffle.
[0129] Stop spring 21.5: provides restoring force for the baffle to ensure that it can automatically return to the initial position when no external force is applied, thereby increasing the response speed and reliability of the system.
[0130] During operation, the pressing wheel 21.4 is pushed manually or by the electric push rod III 28, and the pressing wheel rotates to drive the second connecting rod 21.3, and then pushes the first connecting rod 21.2, and finally the blocking piece 21.1 moves from the stop seat 21.6 to the pressing position. After the battery passes through the blocking piece 21.1, the blocking piece can automatically lift up to prevent the battery from retreating.
[0131] In the above scheme, the automatic anti-retraction device of the battery compartment of the electric vehicle battery replacement system adopts a complex mechanical linkage system to achieve efficient and safe battery positioning and prevent the battery from accidentally moving. The baffle 21.1 is mechanically connected to the anti-retraction seat 21.6 and connected to the pressure wheel 21.4 through the first connecting rod 21.2, allowing it to move when the pressure wheel is subjected to external driving force, and automatically return to the initial blocking position by the restoring force provided by the anti-retraction spring 21.5 without external force. This setting ensures that the baffle can be lifted immediately after the battery passes through to prevent the battery from retreating, improves the convenience and efficiency of operation, and ensures safety and reliability during operation.
[0132] In a possible implementation, the device is installed behind the object 30 when it is moving. When the baffle 21.1 is pressed, the plane of the baffle after pressing is flush with the moving plane of the object 30, and the object moves along the pressing direction.
[0133] By adjusting the lifting and pressing of the baffle 21.1, the smoothness and safety of the battery replacement process is ensured, while the intervention of the operator is reduced and the automation level of the entire system is improved.
[0134] In a possible implementation, after the object 30 passes through, the blocking piece 21.1 is bounced up by the stop spring 21.5 to prevent the object from retreating, so that the blocking piece prevents the object from retreating.
[0135] When an object 30, such as a battery or other related components, passes through the baffle 21.1, the baffle will automatically rise due to the action of the stop spring 21.5 to prevent the object 30 from moving in the opposite direction. This automatic rebound mechanism ensures that after the object passes through the baffle, it will not accidentally retreat due to any external factors such as machine vibration.
[0136] This automatic locking function enhances the safety of the electric vehicle battery replacement system, ensures the stability of the battery during charging or replacement, and prevents accidental falling off or displacement, thereby protecting the safety of operators and equipment.
[0137] In a possible implementation manner, the pressure wheel 21.4 is fixedly connected to the second connecting rod via a connecting piece.
[0138] The connection between the pressure wheel 21.4 and the second connecting rod 21.3 is achieved through a fixed connecting piece. This connection mode provides a stable and strong structure, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the transmission during the process of the pressure wheel pushing the baffle 21.1 to press together.
[0139] By using fixed connections, the mechanical strength and durability of the entire system are improved, especially in high-load and high-frequency operating environments, increasing the reliability of the equipment.
[0140] Fixed connectors can be replaced with adjustable connectors or quick-release connectors as needed to facilitate maintenance and adjustment to meet different working conditions and maintenance requirements.
[0141] In a possible implementation, the pressure wheel 21.4 is connected to the second connecting rod 21.3 via a pin.
[0142] Through the pin connection, the pressure wheel 21.4 and the second connecting rod 21.3 can achieve relative rotation. This connection mode provides a certain flexibility, allowing the pressure wheel 21.4 to automatically adjust its angle according to the position of the baffle 21.1 during the pushing process.
[0143] In one possible implementation, the object 30 is a battery.
[0144] Object 30 is a battery, and the device is used in an electric vehicle battery replacement system.
[0145] In a possible implementation, the electric vehicle battery replacement system also includes an electric push rod III28, which is arranged corresponding to the automatic anti-retraction device of the battery compartment of the electric vehicle battery replacement system, i.e., the automatic anti-retraction device 21 in the figure. The electric push rod III28 is controlled to push the pressure wheel, and the forward pushing action of the pressure wheel drives the movement of the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod, so that the baffle is pressed and flush with the moving plane of the object, allowing the object to pass over the baffle.
[0146] The electric push rod III28 is controlled by the electronic control system, providing a power source so that the pressure wheel 21.4 can be pushed as needed to achieve automatic baffle pressing and releasing, simplifying the operating process and improving the response speed and accuracy of the system.
[0147] By integrating the electric push rod III28, the device improves the automation level of the battery replacement process, reduces manual operations, and improves the efficiency and safety of battery replacement.
[0148] The electric push rod III28 can be replaced with different types of electric or hydraulic drive devices as needed to adapt to different operating speed and torque requirements, or choose a more suitable drive mode according to different working environments, such as using a hydraulic system in an explosion-proof environment.
[0149] See also Fig.12 In a possible implementation, it also includes: a positioning device 24, installed at the rear end of the battery compartment 302, corresponding to the battery 301, and used to guide the battery 301 to connect to the charging head 25.1.
[0150] The beneficial effects of the electric vehicle battery replacement system of the present application are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
[0151] Improved safety: The device automatically rises after the battery passes through an automatic baffle mechanism to prevent the battery from accidentally rolling back, significantly improving the safety of the battery replacement process. The setting to prevent the battery from rolling back reduces the risk during the operation and ensures the safety of the operator and equipment.
[0152] Convenience of operation: Through the automated control system, such as the use of the electric push rod III28 and the pressure wheel mechanism, the system can automatically adjust the position of the baffle, reducing the need for manual operation and improving the convenience and efficiency of the battery replacement operation.
[0153] Structural stability: By adopting pin connection or fixed connecting parts, the connection between the pressure wheel and the connecting rod is ensured to be firm and reliable, which increases the mechanical strength and durability of the entire device, so that the device can adapt to continuous high-frequency operation without being easily damaged.
[0154] High degree of automation: The automation setting of the entire system reduces the possibility of human operation errors, improves the operating efficiency of the battery swap station and the battery swap speed, and can significantly improve service capabilities and response speed, especially in high-demand commercial operation environments.
[0155] The battery storage and charging device of the electric vehicle battery replacement system of the present invention includes: an automatic anti-retraction device 21, a battery rack 203, a side barrier smooth bar 22, a Furley wheel guide rail 23, a battery 301, a flexible charging plug assembly 25, and a positioning device 24; each component is installed and connected by screws. When placing the battery 301, the battery 301 presses down the automatic anti-retraction device 21 at the entrance and slowly transports it into the battery rack 203. When the battery 301 completely enters the battery rack 203 position, the automatic anti-retraction device baffle 21.1 at the entrance directly pops up without being pressed by the battery 301, and the positioning device 24 at the rear end of the battery rack 203 centers the battery 301. At this time, the charging head 25.1 of the flexible charging plug assembly 25 can be aligned with the charging port of the battery 301. Under the action of the plug spring 25.2 inside the flexible charging plug assembly 25, the charging head of the flexible charging plug assembly 25 is aligned and connected with the charging interface of the battery 301. The remaining spring force pushes the battery 301 backwards, causing it to contact the baffle 21.1 of the automatic anti-retraction device 21, thereby completing the self-locking of the battery 301. When taking out the battery 301, the external component presses the pressure wheel 21.4 of the automatic anti-retraction device 21 to press down the baffle of the automatic anti-retraction device 21, and the external component grabs the handle of the battery 301 to pull out the battery 301. When the external component leaves, the pressure wheel 21.4 of the automatic anti-retraction device 21 is no longer pressed, and the baffle of the automatic anti-retraction device 21 automatically rebounds, and the process of taking and placing the battery and completing the charging is completed.
[0156] Based on the front-end battery replacement mode, the present invention replaces the power element of the battery storage device with a linkage of mechanical structure, combines the guide adjustment position of the smooth strip and Furley wheel equipped with the battery replacement cart and the battery storage device, and uses mechanical means to complete the horizontal positioning and unlocking and removal of the battery, which saves energy, reduces the cost of landing at the station, and brings convenience to the staff.
