[0039] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0040] As mentioned above, in order to promptly deal with thermal runaway of battery packs in battery swap stations, the current market usually adopts the fire-fighting warehouse method, and handles the batteries with thermal runaway problems through target handling equipment. However, the target handling equipment in the battery swap station usually also needs to perform battery swap tasks. When thermal runaway occurs, the target handling equipment has been occupied by the battery swap process, and the battery with thermal runaway cannot be handled in time, which poses a safety hazard. In more serious cases, it may even cause great losses to the battery swap station and endanger the personal safety of people in the station.

[0041] In view of this, the present application provides a method, system, equipment and medium for controlling a handling equipment. When the equipment in the battery swapping area is in the battery swapping state, the control of the equipment in the battery swapping area is achieved by comprehensively considering whether the battery of the target vehicle is removed and the load condition of the target handling equipment. Compared with the prior art in which the target handling equipment is occupied by the battery swapping process and cannot handle the battery thermal runaway situation in time during the battery swapping, the solution provided by the present application can handle the battery thermal runaway situation flexibly and promptly, thereby improving the safety in the battery swapping station.

[0042] The method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by a controller or a control unit.

[0043] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0044] The following describes a method for controlling a transport device provided by the present application through an embodiment. Figure 1 , which is a flow chart of a method for controlling a handling device provided in an embodiment of the present application. The execution subject of the method flow is a controller, and the method includes:

[0045] S101. In response to a battery thermal runaway signal, determine whether the equipment in the battery swap area is in a battery swap state.

[0046] The equipment in the battery swap area includes target handling equipment and auxiliary equipment for assisting the target handling equipment in performing battery swapping. The auxiliary equipment can be a vehicle fixing device that fixes the target vehicle in a specific position to prevent the vehicle from sliding during the subsequent battery swapping process. The battery swapping status refers to the equipment in the battery swapping area that is executing the relevant process of the battery swapping task, such as disassembling the battery in the target vehicle.

[0047] In actual application scenarios, when the battery is stored in the station, the battery swap station electrical connector is connected to the battery, and the battery swap station charger obtains the current status of the battery in real time and reports it to the station control system. When a battery thermal runaway signal is detected, the station control system will send a fire exit instruction for the target thermal runaway battery to the target handling equipment, and then execute the judgment process of whether the equipment in the battery swap area is in a battery swap state. If the battery is charging at this time, a stop charging instruction will also be issued to terminate the battery charging process. After receiving the instruction, the target handling equipment will first determine its current state, and then execute control actions according to different strategies based on different situations.

[0048] In one possible implementation, in response to a battery thermal runaway signal, a personnel evacuation alarm is activated; when there is no personnel in the battery compartment, it is determined whether the target transport equipment in the battery exchange channel is in the battery exchange process.

[0049] If the battery swap equipment is in maintenance or manual debugging mode, personnel may be in the battery compartment in the battery swap area. When the battery thermal runaway signal is received, the station will sound a loud alarm. After the personnel leave the battery compartment in the battery swap area, the equipment will be switched back to automatic mode, and the compartment will then automatically execute the firefighting exit task to avoid personal safety accidents.

[0050] In one possible implementation, when the current target transport equipment is not in the battery replacement state, the target transport equipment will actively disconnect the electrical connector between the battery replacement station and the battery end, take out the thermal runaway battery and put it into the fire water tank.

[0051] S102: In response to the target transport equipment being in a battery replacement state, obtaining a loading state of the target transport equipment and a battery state of the target vehicle.

[0052] The battery status is used to indicate whether the target vehicle has been installed with a vehicle battery for power supply. For example, when a low-power battery originally installed in the target vehicle has been removed, the battery status indicates that the target vehicle has not been installed with a vehicle battery for power supply.

[0053] In actual application scenarios, it is possible to determine whether other battery packs for battery replacement have been placed on the current device based on the state memory in the battery replacement process and / or the sensor status. State memory refers to the need in computer science for a program to remember certain state information during execution so that it can be used in subsequent executions. This state information can be the value of a variable, the return value of a function, the properties of an object, and so on. State memory can help programs process data and logic more efficiently during execution.

[0054] S103. Control the equipment in the battery exchange area based on the load status of the target transport equipment and the battery removal status of the target vehicle.

[0055] That is, when the equipment in the battery swapping area is in the battery swapping state, the control of the equipment in the battery swapping area is achieved by comprehensively considering whether the battery of the target vehicle is removed and the load condition of the target handling equipment. Compared with the prior art in which the target handling equipment has been occupied by the battery swapping process and cannot handle the battery thermal runaway situation in time, the solution provided in this application can handle the battery thermal runaway situation flexibly and timely based on the actual application scenario.

[0056] It should be noted that the target transport equipment in the present application can be used not only for transporting battery packs, but can also be installed with corresponding disassembly components for disassembling and installing batteries.

[0057] In a possible implementation, the controlling of the equipment in the battery swapping area based on the load state of the target transport equipment and the battery removal state of the target vehicle includes:

[0058] When the load state of the target transport equipment indicates that the target transport equipment is not loaded with a vehicle battery, and the battery state of the target vehicle indicates that the target vehicle is installed with a vehicle battery for power supply, the auxiliary equipment in the battery exchange area is controlled to move to a preset position so that the target vehicle is in a drivable state.

[0059] When the battery waiting to be replaced on the user's vehicle has not been removed, the battery replacement equipment in the battery replacement channel returns to the starting position in order, does not affect the exit process of the target vehicle, and allows the user's vehicle to leave. At the same time, if the battery replacement station has an exit gate, the gate will be opened at the same time to allow the vehicle to leave. In this case, if the target handling equipment is in an unloaded state, it will proceed to perform the fire exit task in steps, that is, control the target handling equipment to cut off the connection between the target thermal runaway battery corresponding to the battery thermal runaway signal and the battery replacement station, and put the target thermal runaway battery into the fire water tank.

[0060] In a possible implementation, the controlling of the equipment in the battery swapping area based on the load state of the target transport equipment and the battery removal state of the target vehicle includes:

[0061] When the load state of the target transport equipment indicates that the target transport equipment has been loaded with a low-power battery, and the battery state of the target vehicle indicates that the target vehicle has not been installed with a vehicle battery for power supply, controlling the target transport equipment to install the low-power battery to the target vehicle;

[0062] Control the auxiliary equipment in the battery exchange area to move to a preset position so that the target vehicle is in a drivable state; control the target handling equipment to cut off the connection between the target thermal runaway battery corresponding to the battery thermal runaway signal and the battery exchange station, and place the target thermal runaway battery into a fire water tank.

[0063] If the target low-power battery has been removed in the current battery swap process, the low-power battery is still in the battery disassembly and assembly equipment or has been loaded on the target handling equipment. When the thermal runaway of other batteries in the warehouse is triggered, the low-power battery is reinstalled on the user's vehicle according to the current battery swap sequence, and then other equipment in the battery swap channel returns to the preset position in the established order, so that the user's vehicle is in a state where it can be driven away.

[0064] The purpose of installing the original low-power battery is to avoid the situation where when the old battery is switched to the new battery in the station, the target handling equipment in the warehouse interacts with other battery replacements, thus affecting its ability to carry out the fire-fighting task of evacuating the target thermal runaway battery.

[0065] In a possible implementation, the controlling of the equipment in the battery swapping area based on the load state of the target transport equipment and the battery removal state of the target vehicle includes:

[0066] When the battery state of the target vehicle indicates that the target vehicle is not equipped with a vehicle battery for power supply, and the load state of the target transporting equipment indicates that the target transporting equipment is not loaded with a vehicle battery, and fully-charged battery transport is about to be performed or is in the process of being performed, the target transporting equipment is controlled to install the fully-charged battery on the target vehicle;

[0067] Control the auxiliary equipment in the battery exchange area to complete the battery exchange for the target vehicle based on the fully charged battery, so that the target vehicle is in a drivable state; control the target transport equipment to cut off the connection between the target thermal runaway battery corresponding to the battery thermal runaway signal and the battery exchange station, and place the target thermal runaway battery into a fire water tank.

[0068] That is, during the current battery swap, the low-charged battery has been removed and placed. When the battery removal equipment is about to take out a fully-charged battery or is already taking out a fully-charged battery, other batteries in the warehouse trigger a thermal runaway alarm. The battery handling equipment then continues to place the fully-charged battery, and then performs the firefighting warehouse transfer task. Other auxiliary battery swap equipment continues to perform the battery swap task until the battery swap is completed, and the vehicle is finally ready to drive away.

[0069] In a possible implementation, the controlling of the equipment in the battery swapping area based on the load state of the target transport equipment and the battery removal state of the target vehicle includes:

[0070] When the load state of the target transport equipment indicates that the target transport equipment is loaded with fully-charged batteries, and the battery state of the target vehicle indicates that the target vehicle is installed with vehicle batteries for power supply, the target transport equipment is controlled to transport the loaded fully-charged batteries to the storage space corresponding to the fully-charged batteries; the target transport equipment is controlled to cut off the connection between the target thermal runaway battery corresponding to the battery thermal runaway signal and the battery swap station, and place the target thermal runaway battery into a fire water tank.

[0071] That is, when the target transporting equipment is in the process of transporting batteries from other storage locations, and the target vehicle is already loaded with fully charged batteries or under-charged batteries, the target transporting equipment is controlled to transport the batteries it is loaded with to a safe storage location, and then the fire-fighting warehouse exit task is performed, that is, the target transporting equipment is controlled to cut off the connection between the target thermal runaway battery corresponding to the battery thermal runaway signal and the battery swap station, and the target thermal runaway battery is placed in a fire water tank.

[0072] In a possible implementation, it is characterized in that the step of placing the target thermal runaway battery into a fire water tank includes:

[0073] A smoke detection is performed on a target thermal runaway battery placed in the fire water tank, and when the target thermal runaway battery meets a preset alarm condition, a smoke alarm is activated.

[0074] After the thermal runaway battery is sent to the fire water tank, it will still be judged by the secondary smoke sensor to prevent false alarms. The battery will not be submerged in the water until smoke is detected. Therefore, when a battery thermal runaway signal is received during battery swapping, the station control system will prompt the on-site personnel through voice broadcast. The people on the vehicle evacuate the vehicle according to the actual situation. When the people on the vehicle choose to get off, if the equipment action in the battery swap channel has not been completed, all actions will be stopped immediately when the vehicle door opening signal is received to ensure that the people on the vehicle are in a safe environment when getting off.

[0075] After the operation and maintenance personnel in the battery swap station have confirmed that the people in the vehicle have left the battery swap station and the thermal runaway battery has not triggered the smoke alarm in the fire water tank, they will determine whether to continue to complete the battery installation in the battery swap channel based on the actual situation on site.

[0076] In one possible implementation, the method for determining the loading status of the target transport equipment includes: obtaining the reserve status of each position in the battery compartment and the operating status of the target transport equipment within a preset time period, the reserve status being used to characterize whether there are batteries placed in each position in the battery compartment; determining the loading status of the target transport equipment based on the reserve status of each position in the battery compartment and the operating status of the target transport equipment within a preset time period.

[0077] That is, before the battery handling equipment is about to perform the fire-fighting warehouse transfer task, the sensor on the equipment that detects the presence of the battery fails and cannot detect the actual load condition of the equipment. In the extreme case of such sensor detection failure, the loading status is judged by detecting the state memory of whether there is a battery in each position and the battery handling equipment in the corresponding battery replacement sequence, or by detecting the operating status of each position and the handling equipment in the corresponding battery replacement sequence. The operating status can be the operating speed and power consumption of the battery handling equipment. Because the battery handling equipment is heavy when loaded with batteries, the operating speed will be affected or the power consumption will increase. Therefore, the loading status of the target handling equipment can be judged from this.

[0078] In one possible implementation, if thermal runaway occurs during battery swapping and other battery swapping equipment fails, affecting the main battery swapping function, if this failure does not belong to the failure of the battery handling equipment, it will not affect its firefighting warehouse relocation task. In this case, the battery swapping process for the target vehicle will not be performed, and the target handling equipment will be directly controlled to handle the battery with thermal runaway.

[0079] In summary, when thermal runaway is triggered during battery swapping, the thermal runaway battery can be promptly evacuated from the warehouse and the battery swap can be completed as much as possible, or the vehicle can be put in a drivable state so that users can leave or evacuate the battery swapping station in time to avoid irreversible damage and loss to the battery swapping vehicle and the battery swapping station.

[0080] It has the following beneficial effects:

[0081] 1. Able to handle battery thermal runaway during battery replacement and complete firefighting relocation of thermal runaway batteries;

[0082] 2. If thermal runaway occurs during the battery swap process, if the battery on the target vehicle has been removed, a battery can be installed back on the user's vehicle while the fire-fighting warehouse relocation task is being performed, so that the battery swap equipment returns to the starting state and the user can leave the battery swap station;

[0083] 3. In extreme cases, if some sensors fail, the status of whether there is a battery on the current device or position can be obtained through the state memory function, which does not affect the battery handling equipment to perform firefighting tasks. This processing method is stable and practical;

[0084] 4. Failure of other battery replacement equipment will not affect the battery handling equipment's ability to perform firefighting tasks.

[0085] 5. When receiving a thermal runaway signal during equipment maintenance and debugging, it can remind the staff to leave the battery swap station and then perform firefighting tasks, ensuring the personal safety of the staff.

[0086] The above are some specific implementations of the method for controlling the handling equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application.
