[0048] The present invention is further described below by way of examples, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the examples.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this embodiment discloses a method for assembling a power swap station, which is used to assemble the power swap station. The power swap station includes a base plate 2, a power swap room 1, a lifting mechanism 57, a track 58, a maintenance room 3, an entrance and exit room 4, a power swap device 59, a commercial room 54 and a photovoltaic panel 55.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 4 To understand, the assembly methods of the battery swap station include:

[0051] Step S1, installing the base plate 2 on the ground;

[0052] Specifically, the bottom plate 2 is installed first, so that installation points or marks can be set at the installation positions of subsequent components, which is conducive to improving the installation accuracy and convenience of subsequent components. In addition, during the subsequent battery replacement, the bottom plate 2 can realize the parking of the electric vehicle and the guidance of the electric vehicle, which is conducive to the user's search for the battery replacement position and improves the user's experience.

[0053] Step S2, installing a battery exchange room 1 on the ground; by adopting the above-mentioned form, the battery exchange room 1 can be used to realize the battery exchange of electric vehicles in the later stage.

[0054] Step S3, installing a lifting mechanism 57 on the bottom plate 2; in the above form, the electric vehicle can be lifted by the lifting mechanism 57 later, so that the battery replacement device 59 can perform battery replacement operation on the electric vehicle;

[0055] Step S4, installing a track 58 on the bottom plate 2. The track 58 is used to realize and guide the movement of the battery exchange device 59, so that the battery exchange device 59 can move between the electric vehicle and the battery transfer device. The battery pack transfer device is used to transfer the battery pack between the charging rack and the battery exchange device 59.

[0056] The above form can realize modular transportation and lifting of parts, which improves the safety and convenience of transportation and lifting. Moreover, since individual parts can be installed independently, the battery swap station can be adjusted according to different scenario conditions and needs, thereby improving the adaptability of the battery swap station.

[0057] It should be specifically noted that step S3 and step S4 only represent two independent steps and do not refer to the order of installation. In other words, when installing the battery swap station, the track 58 can be installed after the lifting mechanism 57 is installed on the base plate 2; or the lifting mechanism 57 can be installed after the track 58 is installed on the base plate 2. Of course, these two steps can also be performed at the same time.

[0058] After step S4, the method for assembling a battery swap station further includes:

[0059] Step S10, install the inspection room 3 and / or the entrance and exit room 4 on the ground. The above form is adopted to increase the functionality of the battery swap station. Specifically, the inspection room 3 can accommodate other equipment in the battery swap station according to actual needs, or serve as a spare space for the battery swap room 1 to store battery packs, etc.; the entrance and exit room 4 is used to guide electric vehicles in or out of the battery swap station to improve the battery swap efficiency. In addition, using the above form, the position of the inspection room 3 and / or the entrance and exit room 4 can be matched and installed according to the installation position of the lifting mechanism 57 and the track 58, so as to facilitate the entry and battery swapping of electric vehicles in the later stage.

[0060] In other alternative embodiments, if the battery swap station does not include a maintenance room 3 or an access room 4 , there is no step of maintaining the maintenance room 3 or the access room 4 .

[0061] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the battery exchange room 1, the maintenance room 3 and the entrance and exit room 4 are arranged around the periphery of the bottom plate 2, making full use of the space on the outer peripheral side of the bottom plate 2 to make the structure of the battery exchange station more compact.

[0062] In other embodiments, the battery exchange room 1, the maintenance room 3 and the entrance and exit room 4 can also be arranged in sequence along the length direction or the width direction of the battery exchange station, and their specific arrangement form is not limited here.

[0063] There may be the following implementation modes for the maintenance room 3 and the entry and exit room 4. In the first implementation mode, the two ends of the maintenance room 3 in the vehicle's traveling direction are respectively connected to the battery exchange room 1 on the corresponding side; in the second implementation mode, the two ends of the entry and exit room 4 at right angles to the vehicle's traveling direction are respectively connected to the battery exchange room 1 on the corresponding side; in the third implementation mode, the two ends of the maintenance room 3 in the vehicle's traveling direction are respectively connected to the battery exchange room 1 on the corresponding side, and the two ends of the entry and exit room 4 at right angles to the vehicle's traveling direction are respectively connected to the battery exchange room 1 on the corresponding side.

[0064] Preferably, the two ends of the inspection room 3 in the direction of vehicle travel are respectively connected to the battery exchange room 1 on the corresponding side, and the two ends of the access room 4 perpendicular to the direction of vehicle travel are respectively connected to the battery exchange room 1 on the corresponding side, so as to improve the overall stability of the battery exchange station and make the structure of the battery exchange station more compact. In addition, the design of the access room 4 allows electric vehicles to quickly enter or leave the battery exchange station before and after battery exchange, reducing the driving time of electric vehicles in the battery exchange station.

[0065] The assembly method of the battery swap station also includes installing a positioning device on the bottom plate 2, and the positioning device is used to realize the positioning between the bottom plate 2 and the battery swap device 59. The positioning device is used to realize the positioning between the bottom plate 2 and the battery swap device 59 to ensure the accurate installation of the battery swap device. In addition, the above form ensures the installation stability of the battery swap device 59, which is conducive to improving the battery swap accuracy of the battery swap device 59. Among them, the positioning device in this embodiment is a positioning magnetic strip. In other alternative embodiments, the positioning device can also be other structures.

[0067] Step S202: Install the battery exchange device 59 on the track 58 to ensure the safety of the battery exchange device 59. In addition, the cooperation between the battery exchange device 59 and the track 58 enables the battery exchange device 59 to move between the electric vehicle and the battery transport device as needed, which increases the flexibility and adaptability of the battery exchange device 59.

[0068] It should be specifically explained that the battery exchange room 1, the maintenance room 3 and the entrance and exit room 4 are arranged around the periphery of the bottom plate 2, which means that the battery exchange box 13, the maintenance box 31 and the entrance and exit box 48 are arranged around the periphery of the bottom plate 2.

[0069] After the battery exchange room 1, the maintenance room 3 and the access room 4 are installed around the periphery of the bottom plate 2, the assembly method of the battery exchange station further includes:

[0070] Step S303: Install a commercial room 54 above the battery swap room 1. The commercial room 54 can carry out some commercial activities, such as catering, express delivery, etc., to make full use of the resources of the battery swap station.

[0071] It should be specifically noted that step S202 and step S303 only represent two independent steps and do not refer to the order of installation. In other words, the battery exchange equipment 59 can be installed on the track 58 first, and then the commercial room 54 can be installed above the battery exchange room 1; or the commercial room 54 can be installed first, and then the battery exchange equipment 59 can be installed on the track 58; of course, these two steps can also be performed at the same time.

[0072] After step S303, the assembly method of the battery swap station further includes installing a photovoltaic panel 55 above the commercial room 54. The photovoltaic panel 55 can obtain solar energy, and then convert the solar energy into electrical energy through a conversion device to supply power to the battery swap station, thereby improving energy utilization.

[0073] Furthermore, the base plate 2 and / or the battery exchange room 1 and / or the maintenance room 3 and / or the entrance and exit room 4 and / or the commercial room 54 and / or the photovoltaic panel 55 are transported to the designated location by a lifting device (such as a crane, etc.), and the transportation method is simple and convenient to operate.

[0074] In this embodiment, the battery swap station also includes multiple battery swap stations 56. The number of battery swap chambers 1 is the same as the number of battery swap stations 56 and is arranged one-to-one. The multiple battery swap chambers 1 are arranged in sequence along the vehicle driving direction and / or perpendicular to the vehicle driving direction. The battery swap chambers 1 are used to charge and discharge the batteries, and the battery swap stations 56 are used to charge or replace the batteries of electric vehicles, so that one battery swap station can simultaneously swap batteries for multiple electric vehicles, thereby improving the battery swap efficiency and user experience.
