[0189] like Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment includes four battery exchange rooms 1, and the four battery exchange rooms 1 are divided into three first battery exchange rooms 11 and one second battery exchange room 12, so that the battery exchange rooms 1 of the battery exchange station 100 can accommodate the same number of battery packs while reducing the land area occupied, thereby reducing the land area occupied by the entire battery exchange station 100 and reducing the cost of building the station.

[0190] like Figure 5 As shown, it should be specifically explained that the first battery exchange room 11 includes a battery exchange box 13, a control cabinet 14, a charging cabinet 15, a control cabinet maintenance passage 113 and / or a charging cabinet maintenance passage 114, the control cabinet 14 and the charging cabinet 15 are both arranged in the battery exchange box 13, the control cabinet maintenance passage 113 and / or the charging cabinet maintenance passage 114 are both arranged on the battery exchange box 13 and connect the inside and outside of the battery exchange box 13; the control cabinet maintenance passage 113 and the control cabinet 14 are correspondingly arranged, the control panel of the control cabinet 14 faces the outside of the battery exchange box 13, and the control cabinet maintenance passage 113 is arranged on the side of the control panel facing the outside of the battery exchange box 13; and / or the charging cabinet maintenance passage 114 and the charging cabinet 15 are correspondingly arranged, and the charging cabinet maintenance passage 114 is arranged on the side of the charging cabinet 15 facing the outside of the battery exchange box 13. The battery exchange room includes a charging rack and a battery transfer device. The charging cabinet is connected to the charging rack. The charging rack is used to charge and discharge the battery pack. The battery transfer device is used to transfer the battery pack. The battery transfer device is provided with charging racks on both sides perpendicular to the direction of vehicle travel. The two charging cabinets corresponding to the two charging racks are located on the same side of the battery exchange box.

[0191] like Figure 6As shown, the second battery exchange room 12 includes a battery exchange box 13, a control cabinet 14, a charging cabinet 15, a control cabinet maintenance passage 113 and / or a charging cabinet maintenance passage 114. The control cabinet 14 and the charging cabinet 15 are both arranged in the battery exchange box 13, and the control cabinet 14 and the charging cabinet 15 are both located on one side of the second battery exchange room 12 in the direction of vehicle travel; the control cabinet maintenance passage 113 and / or the charging cabinet maintenance passage 114 are both arranged on the battery exchange box 13 and connect the inside and outside of the battery exchange box 13; the control cabinet maintenance passage 113 and the control cabinet 14 are correspondingly arranged, the control panel of the control cabinet 14 faces the outside of the battery exchange box 13, and the control cabinet maintenance passage 113 is arranged on the side of the control panel facing the outside of the battery exchange box 13; and / or, the charging cabinet maintenance passage 114 and the charging cabinet 15 are correspondingly arranged, and the charging cabinet maintenance passage 114 is arranged on the side of the charging cabinet 15 facing the outside of the battery exchange box 13. The battery swap room includes a charging rack and a battery transfer device. The charging cabinet is connected to the charging rack. The charging rack is used to charge and discharge the battery pack, and the battery transfer device is used to transfer the battery pack. The battery swap room includes a battery swap port and a battery swap door. The battery swap door is located at the battery swap port. The battery swap port is used for the battery swap equipment to enter and exit the battery swap room. The charging rack is located on the side of the battery transfer device close to the battery swap port. The battery swap room also includes a cooling device, which is used to perform heat exchange on the battery pack. The cooling device includes a liquid cooling unit, which is located in the maintenance room of the battery swap station.

[0192] In other alternative embodiments, the battery swap station 100 may also only have the first battery swap room 11 or only have the second battery swap room 12. The number of battery swap rooms 1 in the battery swap station 100 may be other and at least one, and the specific design is based on actual conditions.

[0193] Among them, the outer length, width and height dimensions of the first battery exchange chamber 11 and the second battery exchange chamber 12 are the same, but the sizes of the battery packs accommodated in the first battery exchange chamber 11 and the second battery exchange chamber 12 are different. The first battery exchange chamber 11 and the second battery exchange chamber 12 are used to replace battery packs of electric vehicles with different battery pack sizes, thereby improving the applicability of the battery exchange station 100.

[0194] Specifically, in this embodiment, the length of the first battery exchange room 11 and the second battery exchange room 12 along the vehicle driving direction is 3.6 m, the width perpendicular to the vehicle driving direction is 3.6 m, and the height along the vehicle height direction is 5.8 m.

[0195] In other alternative embodiments, the size of the battery exchange chamber 1 may also be other values, and the sizes of the first battery exchange chamber 11 and the second battery exchange chamber 12 may be the same or different. For example, the height range of the battery exchange chamber 1 along the vehicle height direction is between 3.5m-14m, which meets the transportation requirements. At this stage, the height that can generally be met by workshop processing is less than or equal to 7m. When the height of the battery exchange chamber 1 along the vehicle height direction is less than 3.5m, the battery exchange chamber 1 can be directly placed vertically for transportation without lying horizontally for transportation. If the height of the battery exchange chamber 1 along the vehicle height direction exceeds 14m, it will be subject to road transportation restrictions.

[0196] like Figure 4 As shown, two first battery exchange chambers 11 are arranged in sequence along the direction of vehicle travel, a first battery exchange chamber 11 and a second battery exchange chamber 12 are arranged in sequence along the direction of vehicle travel, two first battery exchange chambers 11 are arranged in sequence perpendicular to the direction of vehicle travel, and a first battery exchange chamber 11 and a second battery exchange chamber 12 are arranged in sequence perpendicular to the direction of vehicle travel. Four battery exchange chambers 1 are connected to form a quadrilateral battery exchange station 100, and the four battery exchange chambers 1 form a battery exchange area for electric vehicles to dock and charge and exchange batteries on the side facing each other perpendicular to the direction of vehicle travel. The battery exchange station can charge or replace the battery packs of multiple electric vehicles at the same time, thereby improving the efficiency of battery exchange.

[0197] In other alternative embodiments, multiple battery exchange chambers 1 may be arranged in sequence only along the vehicle traveling direction or perpendicular to the vehicle traveling direction, or multiple battery exchange chambers 1 may be arranged along the vehicle traveling direction and / or perpendicular to the vehicle traveling direction, or adjacent battery exchange chambers 1 may be arranged closely along the vehicle traveling direction and / or perpendicular to the vehicle traveling direction (i.e., there is no gap).

[0198] In this embodiment, three first power exchange chambers 11 and one second power exchange chamber 12 form a quadrilateral power exchange station 100, thereby maximizing the use of space and making the floor area of ​​the power exchange station 100 more compact.

[0199] The travel tracks of the battery-swapping equipment 59 on the two battery-swapping rooms 1 perpendicular to the vehicle travel direction are connected, so that the battery-swapping equipment 59 of the two adjacent battery-swapping rooms 1 can be interconnected and shared, thereby improving the versatility of the battery-swapping equipment 59. In addition, when there are many vehicles in a battery-swapping room 1, it is convenient to call the battery-swapping equipment from the adjacent battery-swapping room 1.

[0200] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the battery swap station 100 includes a battery swap station 56, which is formed on the bottom plate 2. The number of the battery swap stations 56 is the same as the number of the battery swap rooms 1 and is arranged one by one. The battery swap stations 56 are used to charge or replace the battery packs of the electric vehicles. Multiple battery swap stations 56 are arranged at intervals along the vehicle driving direction and perpendicular to the vehicle driving direction, so that there can be gaps between multiple electric vehicles parked in the vehicle driving direction and / or perpendicular to the vehicle driving direction to prevent collisions between electric vehicles.

[0201] In other embodiments, the battery swapping stations 56 may be arranged at intervals only along the direction of vehicle travel or perpendicular to the direction of vehicle travel, thereby saving space and making the space of the battery swapping station 100 more compact.

[0202] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the battery exchange port 110 of the battery exchange room 1 is located on the side of the battery exchange room 1 facing the corresponding battery exchange station 56. The battery exchange equipment 59 enters and exits the battery exchange room 1 through the battery exchange port 110, which facilitates the transportation of the battery pack to the battery transfer device 17 or the removal of the battery pack from the battery transfer device 17.

[0203] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, for multiple battery exchange chambers 1 arranged in sequence in the direction of vehicle travel, the battery exchange stations 56 corresponding to the multiple battery exchange chambers 1 are located on the same side of the battery exchange chambers 1; for multiple battery exchange chambers 1 arranged in sequence perpendicular to the direction of vehicle travel, the battery exchange stations 56 corresponding to the multiple battery exchange chambers 1 are located on the side facing another adjacent battery exchange chamber 1 perpendicular to the direction of vehicle travel, so that the positions of the battery exchange stations 56 are relatively concentrated, which is convenient for unified management.

[0204] In other embodiments, the battery-changing stations 56 corresponding to the multiple battery-changing rooms 1 can be staggered to prevent interference between the electric vehicles during battery changing.

[0205] The charging device 51 can charge electric vehicles of the charging type, thereby increasing the application scope of the battery swap station 100. Figure 3 As shown, there are multiple charging devices 51, and the number of charging devices 51 is the same as the number of battery swapping stations 56, so that electric vehicles of the charging model can be charged when parked at any battery swapping station 56, thereby improving the flexibility of charging and improving the user experience.

[0206] The charging device 51 in this embodiment is specifically a plug. In other alternative implementations, the charging device 51 may also be other structures that can charge the battery pack of the electric vehicle.

[0207] like Figure 3As shown, the charging device 51 is located between two battery exchange rooms 1 adjacent to each other in the direction of vehicle travel, so that one charging device 51 can charge electric vehicles parked at the battery exchange stations 56 on both sides, thereby improving charging flexibility and user experience. In other alternative embodiments, the charging device 51 can also be set on the battery exchange room 1.

[0208] The charging device 51 is located on one side or above the battery swapping station 56 , so that the charging device 51 can conveniently charge the electric vehicle parked at the battery swapping station 56 .

[0209] like Figure 3 As shown, the mobile passage 52 is provided between two adjacent battery swapping stations 56 perpendicular to the vehicle travel direction, and the mobile passage 52 extends along the vehicle travel direction to both ends of the battery swapping station 100. The mobile passage 52 facilitates the electric vehicle to enter or exit the battery swapping station 100 and to move the electric vehicle to a battery swapping station 56 at another location, thereby preventing the rear vehicle from being blocked by other electric vehicles in front that are being charged and swapped, and improving the battery swapping efficiency and user experience.

[0210] It should be specifically noted that the charging device 51 can be set on the same side of the battery replacement station 56 to facilitate management.

[0211] like Figure 4 As shown, the inspection room 3 is arranged on one side of the battery exchange room 1 in the direction of vehicle travel, specifically between two adjacent battery exchange rooms 1 in the direction of vehicle travel, making full use of the gap between the two battery exchange rooms 1 in the direction of vehicle travel, improving the space utilization rate of the battery exchange station 100, and reducing the cost of station construction. The inspection room 3 can accommodate other equipment in the battery exchange station 100 according to actual needs, or serve as a spare space for the battery exchange room 1 to store battery packs, etc. The location of the inspection room 3 does not affect the normal entry and exit of electric vehicles.

[0212] In other alternative embodiments, when there are no two battery exchange rooms 1 adjacent to each other in the direction of vehicle travel, the maintenance room 3 can be arranged on any side of the battery exchange room 1 in the direction of vehicle travel, and the specific position of the maintenance room 3 is not limited herein.

[0213] like Figure 3 As shown, the two ends of the maintenance room 3 in the vehicle travel direction are respectively connected to the battery swap rooms 1 on both sides to improve the overall stability of the battery swap station 100 and make the structure of the battery swap station 100 more compact.

[0214] like Figure 2 As shown, the battery swap station 100 includes at least one vertically placed container. Compared with the traditional horizontal placement, the vertically placed container occupies a relatively smaller area, saving land resources and reducing station construction costs.

[0215] Specifically, the battery exchange box 13 of the battery exchange room 1 in this embodiment is placed vertically, and the maintenance box 31 of the maintenance room 3 is placed horizontally. Compared with the traditional horizontal placement, the vertically placed battery exchange box 13 occupies a relatively smaller area, saving land resources and reducing station construction costs. The maintenance box 31 can fill the gap between the two battery exchange rooms 1 in the direction of vehicle travel, thereby improving the closedness of the battery exchange station 100.

[0216] In other alternative embodiments, the inspection box 31 of the inspection room 3 may also be placed vertically.

[0217] like Figure 2 As shown, the maintenance room 3 is a multi-layer structure, and the maintenance room 3 includes a plurality of maintenance boxes 31, and the plurality of maintenance boxes 31 are stacked in sequence along the height direction of the vehicle, so that the volume of the maintenance room 3 can be adjusted according to actual needs to meet different space requirements, and the height dimension of a single maintenance box 31 can also be reduced, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the maintenance box 31.

[0218] Specifically, the maintenance room 3 in this embodiment is a double-layer structure, and the height of the maintenance room 3 is the same as that of the battery swap room 1, so that the upper end of the battery swap station 100 is flatter, which is convenient for the later capping operation of the top of the battery swap station 100, and also convenient for the maintenance room 3 to provide space for maintenance at various height positions of the battery swap room 1.

[0219] In other alternative embodiments, the power exchange room 1 may also be a multi-layer structure, and the number of layers of the power exchange room 1 is the same as the number of layers of the maintenance room 3, and are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence to facilitate the maintenance of the power exchange room 1 through the maintenance room 3.

[0220] like Figure 3 As shown, the charging device 51 is fixed on the maintenance box 31 and is located on the side of the maintenance box 31 facing the battery replacement station 56. Therefore, there is no need to set up an additional bracket for installing the charging device 51, which reduces equipment costs and improves space utilization.

[0221] Furthermore, the equipment inside the maintenance room 3 can be adjusted according to actual needs to ensure the normal operation of the battery swap station 100. For example, energy storage batteries and / or energy storage converters and / or cooling devices can be installed inside the maintenance room 3 to make full use of the internal space of the maintenance room 3, improve space utilization, and reduce the floor space of the battery swap station 100.

[0222] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the inspection room 3 includes an inspection box 31, an inspection door 32, a first staircase 33, a first external passage 34, a first guardrail 35, and an installation door 36.

[0223] like Figure 7As shown, the inspection door 32 is arranged on the side of the inspection box 31 facing the power exchange station 56, and the inspection door corresponds to the adjacent power exchange room 1. Maintenance personnel can enter the inspection room 3 through the inspection door 32, which is convenient for the inspection and maintenance of various equipment in the inspection room 3. Among them, the inspection door 32 corresponds to the adjacent power exchange room 1, which means that the inspection room 3 is provided with inspection doors 32 on both sides of the vehicle driving direction, and the inspection door 32 is arranged close to the power exchange room 1 on the corresponding side.

[0224] Specifically, the inspection door 32 includes a first inspection door 321 and a second inspection door 322 .

[0225] The first inspection door 321 connects the power-changing station 56 and the interior of the inspection room 3 , and the inspection personnel can enter the inspection room 3 from the power-changing station 56 .

Among them, the first maintenance passage of the power exchange room 1 can also be a charging cabinet maintenance passage 114, etc.

[0230] like Figure 2 As shown, a first guardrail 35 is provided on one side of the first external passage 34 facing the power exchange station 56. The first guardrail 35 is used to improve the safety of the first external passage 34 and prevent maintenance personnel from falling from the first external passage 34.

[0231] Among them, the width of the maintenance box 31 in the direction perpendicular to the vehicle's driving direction is smaller than the width of the battery exchange box 13 in the direction perpendicular to the vehicle's driving direction, and the sum of the width of the maintenance box 31 in the direction perpendicular to the vehicle's driving direction and the width of the first external channel 34 in the direction perpendicular to the vehicle's driving direction is equal to the width of the battery exchange box 13 in the direction perpendicular to the vehicle's driving direction, so as to avoid the first external channel 34 occupying the space of the battery exchange area and prevent the first external channel 34 from interfering with the electric vehicle.

[0232] In other embodiments, the size of the maintenance box 31 can be adjusted according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0233] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the installation door 36 is arranged on the side of the maintenance room 3 away from the battery replacement station 56.
