[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solution of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the specific embodiments of the present application and the corresponding drawings. 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 making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0024] The embodiments of the present application provide a method, device and storage medium for replacing a vehicle-mounted power battery, which solve the technical problems of a battery transportation method and a matching battery replacement method under complex circumstances.

[0025] The technical solution proposed in the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Figure 1 A flow chart of a method for replacing a vehicle power battery provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the method provided in the embodiment of the present application specifically includes the following steps:

[0027] Step 101, obtaining battery replacement information of the vehicle to be replaced;

[0028] The battery swap station system has two ways to obtain battery swap information: user input query and automatic judgment and confirmation;

[0029] User input query is done by users inputting information based on known vehicle model information and battery information when using a battery swap station. The query can be completed by simply entering keywords;

[0030] The battery swap station system is trained with vehicle model data sets and battery data sets to obtain a battery swap information recognition algorithm; the battery swap information includes vehicle model and battery information;

[0031] In the examples of the present application, detailed explanation is given by the following Example 1:

[0032] Example 1: When a user uses a battery swap station, he first drives the vehicle to be swapped into the battery swap station. The battery swap station is equipped with an entry system and an automatic identification system. The user chooses the entry system or the automatic identification system according to personal habits. When the user chooses the entry system, the entry system performs a keyword query on the user input part based on the vehicle model database and the battery database, obtains the corresponding query results and feeds them back to the user. When the user chooses the automatic identification system, the automatic identification system scans the vehicle body for information recognition and feeds back the recognition results to the user.

[0033] After obtaining the battery swap information of the vehicle to be swapped, the method further includes: based on the battery swap information, recommending battery swap station information for the vehicle to be swapped to operate; wherein at least one array-arranged battery swap station is provided in the battery swap station;

[0034] After the system obtains the battery replacement information of the vehicle to be replaced, it generates the corresponding battery replacement station information and feeds back the relevant information to the user. The user can drive the vehicle to be replaced to the corresponding battery replacement station according to the battery replacement station information and then replace the battery.

[0035] Step 102: Based on the battery replacement information of the vehicle to be replaced, the RGV moves to the battery replacement station and removes the depleted battery of the vehicle to be replaced;

[0036] After the vehicle to be replaced drives to the corresponding battery replacement station, the system sends a battery replacement instruction to the RGV, and the RGV moves to the battery replacement station where the vehicle to be replaced is located to remove the depleted battery of the vehicle to be replaced; the battery replacement instruction includes the corresponding battery replacement station information and the battery replacement information of the vehicle to be replaced. After removing the battery replacement battery, the system transfers the corresponding fully charged battery to the transfer area according to the battery replacement information. The specific steps are as follows: Figure 2 Shown.

[0037] Figure 2 A fully charged battery transport flow chart of a vehicle power battery replacement method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 As shown, the method provided in the embodiment of the present application specifically includes the following steps:

[0038] 201. Based on the battery replacement information, determine the storage location corresponding to the storage area.

[0039] The storage area is used to store fully charged batteries. The storage area is provided with a number of storage locations corresponding to the battery replacement information. The charging ports are arranged in an array, with rows and columns as the serial numbers of the storage areas. The specific location of the storage area is determined according to the storage area number. The storage location corresponding to the storage area is determined according to the battery replacement information.

[0040] In the examples of the present application, detailed explanation is given by the following Example 2:

[0041] Example 2: Fully charged batteries are distributed in the storage area according to the corresponding battery models, divided into A, B, C, D, E, F... areas, and each area has 100 storage locations.

[0042] When a fully charged battery needs to be transported, an unused storage location is used as a selection point; if the battery information is Class C and the selection point is the eighth column of the second row, the serial number is C0208; the storage location is determined based on the serial number.

[0043] The number of regions and the corresponding storage locations can be changed as needed, and the serial numbers only need to be changed accordingly.

[0044] 202. Generate a corresponding AGV travel path according to the storage location and the location of the AGV, and send a corresponding movement instruction to the AGV.

[0045] Based on the storage location and the location of the AGV, the system selects the nearest path while avoiding existing paths, and sends the planned path information to the AGV in the form of instructions.

[0046] 203. The AGV moves to the storage location corresponding to the battery warehouse according to the movement instruction, and transfers the fully charged battery to the transfer area.

[0047] In the examples of the present application, detailed explanation is given by the following Example 3:

[0048] Example 3: After the vehicle enters the battery swap station, the depleted battery is transferred to the transfer area by the RGV. At this time, the idle AGV receives the system's action instruction and moves to the corresponding transfer area in advance.

[0049] The system sends a corresponding instruction to the AGV based on the storage area serial number obtained previously; the AGV moves to the location with the corresponding number in the storage area according to the instruction. At this time, the palletizer is started, and the palletizer takes the fully charged battery from the corresponding location and transfers it to the AGV; the AGV obtains the corresponding fully charged battery from the battery stack.

[0050] After the AGV is loaded with fully charged batteries, the system plans a return path based on the location of the transfer station; the planning logic is similar to the logic of step 202 and will not be repeated here.

[0051] The AGV loads the fully charged batteries taken out from the storage area and transports them to the corresponding transfer area.

[0052] Step 103: Transfer the depleted battery to the underground charging area via the preset RGV track. This includes: transferring the depleted battery to the transfer area via the RGV; the AGV obtains the depleted battery from the transfer area; according to the battery replacement information, the AGV moves the depleted battery to the preset location of the underground charging area and transfers the battery to the corresponding charging port. Figure 3 Shown.

[0053] Figure 3 This is a flow chart of a low-power battery transport method for replacing a vehicle power battery provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the method provided in the embodiment of the present application specifically includes the following steps:

[0054] 301. Determine the charging port of the underground charging area corresponding to the low-power battery based on the battery information.

[0055] The underground charging area is provided with several areas corresponding to the battery information, wherein the same area only accommodates one type of charging port, and the areas are numbered in sequence; wherein, the number of charging ports is not less than one; the charging ports are arranged in an array, with rows and columns being the serial numbers of the charging ports; the specific location of the charging port is determined according to the area number and the serial number of the charging port; and according to the battery information, the charging port in the underground charging area corresponding to the depleted battery is determined.

[0056] In the examples of the present application, detailed explanation is given by the following example 4:

[0057] Example 4: The underground charging area is equipped with several areas corresponding to the battery information, in which the same area only accommodates one type of charging port, which is distributed in the corresponding area according to the model corresponding to the battery, divided into A#, B#, C#, D#, E#, F#...areas, and each area is equipped with 100 charging ports.

[0058] When a low-power battery needs to be charged, an unused charging port in the area is used as the selection point; the battery information is C# type, the selection point is the fourth row and sixth column, and the serial number is C#0406; the location of the charging port is determined according to the serial number.

[0059] According to actual needs, the number of areas and the corresponding number of charging ports can be changed at will, and the serial numbers only need to be changed accordingly.

[0060] 302. Based on the preset positioning of the partition and the position of the AGV, a corresponding AGV travel path is generated, and a movement instruction is issued to the AGV;

[0061] The system obtains the location of the charging port based on the serial number, and combined with the location of the AGV, selects the nearest path while avoiding existing paths, and sends the planned path information to the AGV in the form of instructions.

[0062] 303. According to the movement instruction, the AGV transfers the low-power battery to the charging port.

[0063] After the depleted batteries are transferred to the corresponding position in the underground charging area, the stacker crane transfers the depleted batteries loaded by the AGV to the corresponding charging port position for charging.

[0064] 304. After the depleted battery is fully charged, the battery swap station sends a corresponding movement instruction to the AGV based on the location of the charging port and the location of the storage area.

[0065] 305. The idle AGV transfers the fully charged batteries to the storage area.

[0066] In the examples of the present application, detailed explanation is given by the following Example 5:

[0067] Example 5: Select the charging port with serial number C#0406 in Example 4. The system generates path information based on the current AGV position and the charging port position corresponding to serial number C#0406. The path information avoids other existing paths; the path information is sent to the current AGV in the form of a transfer instruction.

[0068] After the current AGV obtains the depleted battery from the underground transfer area, it transfers the depleted battery to the underground charging area according to the instructions, and the pallet crane transfers it to the charging port corresponding to serial number C#0406 for a second time.

[0069] After the low-power battery is charged at the charging port, the system generates corresponding path information based on the location of the currently idle AGV and the location of the underground charging area. The path information avoids other existing paths; the path information is sent to the currently idle AGV in the form of a transfer instruction.

[0070] The palletizer transfers the fully charged battery to the currently idle AGV. At this time, the AGV is loaded with a fully charged battery. The system generates corresponding path information based on the current position of the AGV and the storage area position. The path information avoids other existing paths; the path information is sent to the AGV in the form of a transfer instruction.

[0071] The AGV transfers the fully charged batteries to the storage area according to the corresponding transfer instructions, and the palletizer transfers them to the storage location with serial number C0208.

[0072] It should be noted that the number of batteries transported by RGV and AGV is not limited to 1. In the case of transporting multiple batteries, in the embodiment of the present application, the following Example 6 is used for detailed explanation:

[0073] Example 6: The system generates three path information based on the current AGV position and the charging port positions corresponding to serial numbers C0406, D0205, and E1002. The path information avoids other existing paths.

[0074] The path information is sent to the current AGV in the form of a transfer instruction, and the execution order is limited according to the battery replacement information corresponding to different serial numbers; wherein serial number C0406 is the corresponding fully-charged battery serial number of the first vehicle to enter the corresponding battery replacement station, followed by serial number D0205, and then serial number E1002; the corresponding instruction sequence is also to first obtain the fully-charged battery of serial number C0406, then obtain the fully-charged battery of serial number D#0205, and finally obtain the fully-charged battery of serial number E1002.

[0075] Similarly, the path information is sent to the current AGV in the form of a transfer instruction, and the execution order is limited according to the battery replacement information corresponding to different serial numbers; wherein serial number C#0406 is the corresponding fully charged battery serial number of the first vehicle to enter the corresponding battery replacement station, followed by serial number D#0205, and then serial number E#1002; the corresponding instruction sequence is also that the AGV first transfers the low-charged battery to the charging port of serial number C0406, then the AGV transfers the low-charged battery to the charging port of serial number D#0205, and finally the AGV transfers the low-charged battery to the charging port of serial number E#1002.

[0076] After the current AGV obtains the depleted batteries from the underground transfer area, it transfers the depleted batteries to the underground charging area in sequence according to the instructions, and the pallet crane transfers them again to the charging port positions corresponding to serial numbers C#0406, D#0205, and E#1002.

[0077] After the low-power battery is charged at the charging port, the system generates corresponding path information based on the location of the currently idle AGV and the location of the underground charging area. The path information avoids other existing paths; the path information is sent to the currently idle AGV in the form of a transfer instruction.

[0078] The palletizer transfers the fully charged battery to the currently idle AGV. At this time, the AGV is loaded with a fully charged battery. The system generates corresponding path information based on the current position of the AGV and the storage area position. The path information avoids other existing paths; the path information is sent to the AGV in the form of a transfer instruction.

[0079] The AGV transfers the fully charged batteries to the storage area according to the corresponding transfer instructions, and the palletizer transfers them to the storage locations with serial numbers C0208, D0105, and E0610.

[0080] Step 104 : The AGV in the underground charging area transfers the fully charged battery to the RGV.

[0081] Step 105: RGV installs the fully charged battery on the vehicle to be replaced.

[0082] After the AGV transfers the fully charged battery to the transfer area, the system sends a battery replacement instruction to the RGV.

[0083] After the RGV moves to the transfer area, it is loaded with fully charged batteries and transported to the ground battery replacement station, where it is installed into the battery compartment of the vehicle to be replaced.
