Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of battery swapping, and in particular to a channel opening and closing device and a battery swapping station including the same. Background Art

[0002] In the existing battery swapping stations, for the channel opening for the battery swapping equipment to enter and exit, generally, a flip-up door panel is used to open and close the channel opening to separate the battery swapping area of the battery swapping equipment from the charging area inside the battery swapping station. Moreover, since there is a demand for reducing the weight of the door panel, the door panel is usually made thinner when arranged at the channel opening. Therefore, when the door panel uses the flip-up method to open and close the channel opening, due to insufficient stiffness of the door panel and other situations, the door panel may have non-negligible deformation and other problems during flipping. This phenomenon may have an adverse impact on the normal operation of the entire battery swapping station. Therefore, this problem needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defect of deformation of the door panel during flipping in the prior art, and provide a channel opening and closing device and a battery swapping station including the same.

[0004] The present invention solves the above technical problem through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A channel opening and closing device, the channel opening and closing device includes: a mounting door frame, a door panel, a rotation shaft and a driving mechanism. The mounting door frame encloses to form a channel opening. The door panel is arranged on the mounting door frame and at least partially covers the channel opening. The rotation shaft extends in the horizontal direction and the extension length of the rotation shaft is the same as the width of the channel opening. Both ends of the rotation shaft are rotatably arranged on the mounting door frame. The rotation shaft is connected to the upper part of the door panel. The driving mechanism is arranged on the mounting door frame and connected to the rotation shaft. The driving mechanism is used to drive the rotation shaft to rotate to open and close the channel opening.

[0006] In this technical solution, by arranging the rotation shaft at the upper part of the door panel and setting the extension length of the rotation shaft to be the same as the width of the channel opening, the door panel is integrally rotatably connected to the mounting door frame through the rotation shaft, so as to strengthen the structure of the door panel by using the rotation shaft and ensure the overall structural stability of the door panel and the rotation shaft.

[0007] Meanwhile, by arranging a driving mechanism on the installation door frame to drive the rotation shaft to rotate, so as to indirectly drive the door panel to flip and open. Compared with the solution of directly applying the driving mechanism to the door panel, such a structural arrangement helps to reduce the local stress on the door panel, ensure that the door panel can maintain its shape during the flipping motion, reduce instability and vibration, avoid problems such as local deformation of the door panel caused by directly applying the driving mechanism to the door panel, improve the motion balance of the door panel, can reduce the uneven load distribution when the transmission parts support the door panel, ensure the stiffness requirement of the door panel, and make the door panel more stable and controllable during flipping.

[0008] Meanwhile, through this structural arrangement, the structural stability, motion balance and door panel rigidity of the channel opening and closing device are improved, which helps to improve the durability of the device and extend its service life.

[0009] In addition, by making the door panel flip and open along the height direction, compared with other door opening forms such as horizontal flipping, etc., it can make the opening and closing of the channel opening more convenient. Especially when a battery shuttle car with a relatively wide size needs to pass through the channel opening, this door opening form of flipping in the height direction can provide a larger passing width and reduce obstacles. Moreover, the door panel can be customized to set its position according to the requirements of the channel opening when flipping in the height direction to adjust the opening degree of the channel opening to adapt to different passing requirements. In addition, the flipping design along the height direction can also improve the aesthetics of the channel opening and closing device. Similarly, after the door panel is opened, it can prevent the driver from getting off the vehicle and avoid causing personal injury.

[0010] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes: a transmission part and a driving part. Among them, one end of the transmission part is connected to the surface of the rotation shaft, the other end of the transmission part extends in a direction away from the rotation shaft and is connected to the driving part, and the driving part drives the transmission part to drive the rotation shaft to rotate by means of telescopic movement.

[0011] In this technical solution, the transmission part arranged on the surface of the rotation shaft extends in a direction away from the rotation shaft to form a cantilever for connecting the driving part. By driving the cantilever structure of the transmission part to move through the telescopic movement of the driving part, power for the rotation shaft to rotate is generated, converting the telescopic movement into rotational movement, so that the door panel can be smoothly opened and closed. Among them, adopting this way of converting telescopic movement into rotational movement can improve the stability of power transmission compared with other ways such as gear meshing transmission or synchronous belt transmission.

[0012] Preferably, the door panel is formed by a sheet metal bending process. There is a concave cavity on the side of the door panel facing the turning shaft. The surface of the concave cavity is provided with a plurality of abutting blocks extending outward. The side of the abutting block away from the concave cavity has a receiving groove adapted to the shape of the turning shaft, and the abutting block is connected to the turning shaft through the receiving groove.

[0013] For the door panel formed by the sheet metal bending process, the weight of the door panel can be effectively reduced, making the opening of the door panel smoother. At the same time, when the door panel is formed by the sheet metal bending process, by setting abutting blocks in the concave cavity of the door panel to make multi-point connection with the door panel, the stability of the connection between the turning shaft and the door panel is enhanced through the multi-point connection method, which can prevent the door panel from shaking or skewing unstably due to insufficient self-rigidity during the flipping process.

[0014] Preferably, between the turning shaft and the abutting block, a welding process is used for connection;

[0015] And / or, a welding process is used for connection between the abutting block and the door panel.

[0016] In this technical solution, the welding processing technology is adopted to ensure that the connection between the turning shaft, the abutting block and the door panel has sufficient strength and stability, ensure the normal flipping of the door panel, avoid problems such as the door panel falling off due to unreliable connection between the door panel and the turning shaft or the abutting block, can provide a relatively stable transmission force, and also improve the durability of the channel opening and closing device. In addition, welding is a relatively simple and low-cost manufacturing method, which helps to simplify the manufacturing process of the entire device.

[0017] Preferably, the driving member and the turning shaft are arranged in a staggered manner.

[0018] In this technical solution, the staggered arrangement of the turning shaft and the driving member can avoid interference with the flipping of the turning shaft when the driving member moves in a telescopic manner, affecting the normal operating state of the transmission member, and such an arrangement also increases the smoothness of the flipping of the door panel.

[0019] Preferably, the number of the driving mechanisms is one, and the driving member of the driving mechanism is arranged on one side of the installation door frame;

[0020] Or, the number of the driving mechanisms is two, and the driving members of the two driving mechanisms are respectively arranged on both sides of the installation door frame.

[0021] In this technical solution, by only setting one driving mechanism, the number and complexity of components are reduced, thus simplifying the structure of the entire device. By setting the driving member on one side of the installation door frame, the structural stability is stronger. Such a setting also facilitates maintenance personnel to inspect, repair or replace these components. Alternatively, by setting two driving mechanisms and correspondingly setting the driving members of the two driving mechanisms on both sides of the installation door frame, the synchronism and consistency of the simultaneous opening of both sides of the door panel can be further enhanced, the transmission lag is reduced, and problems such as door panel deformation caused by asynchronous flipping of the door panel are effectively avoided.

[0022] Preferably, an installation seat for the rotation shaft to pass through and limit the rotation shaft is provided on the installation door frame, and a copper washer is provided between the installation seat and the rotation shaft.

[0023] In this technical solution, the setting of the installation seat enhances the stability of the limit fixation of the rotation shaft, helps to ensure that the rotation shaft remains stable during movement, and reduces unnecessary shaking or deviation. The setting of the copper washer can reduce the friction between the installation seat and the rotation shaft, so that the rotation of the rotation shaft is smoother. This not only helps to improve the efficiency of the entire device, reduce energy loss, but also improves the durability of the entire device. Moreover, such a setting also facilitates maintenance workers to replace and repair it. In addition, the stable installation seat and the appropriately selected copper washer can reduce the vibration and noise that may be caused during the movement of the rotation shaft.

[0024] Preferably, a position detection component is provided at a position of the installation door frame close to the passage opening, and the position detection component is electrically connected to the driving mechanism;

[0025] The position of the position detection component on the installation door frame is set such that when the door panel is flipped to a preset position, it can contact the detection end of the position detection component to stop the driving mechanism from continuing to drive the door panel to flip.

[0026] In this technical solution, by using the position detection component, it can accurately detect whether the door panel is flipped to the preset position, and timely send the position of the door panel to the driving mechanism in the form of signal transmission, so that the driving mechanism can perform the next step of work according to the received signal. This design helps to ensure that the door panel can accurately stop at the required position, improve the opening and closing accuracy of the passage opening, thereby preventing the door panel from overflipping or misaligning, ensuring the safety performance of the passage opening opening and closing device, and avoiding problems such as potential safety hazards caused by the door panel staying in the incorrect position.

[0027] Preferably, the in-place detection component includes a touch arm for contacting the door panel, and a sensor connected to the touch arm and electrically connected to the driving mechanism. After the door panel closes the channel opening and flips to a preset position, the door panel will push the touch arm to move. When the door panel closes the channel opening, the touch arm reaches its limit position and sends a signal to stop the driving mechanism through the sensor.

[0028] In this technical solution, by monitoring the position of the touch arm through the sensor, accurate detection of the position of the door panel can be achieved. And through the mechanical way of the door panel contacting the touch arm, the detection of the in-place detection component is more reliable, and it can send a signal to the driving mechanism in time. This real-time feedback ensures that the in-place detection component monitors the position of the door panel in a timely and accurate manner.

[0029] A battery swapping station, the battery swapping station includes the channel opening and closing device as described in any one of the above.

[0030] In this technical solution, for the battery swapping station adopting this channel opening and closing device, the driving mechanism drives the door panel to flip to realize the opening and closing of the channel opening, so that the opening and closing of the channel opening of the battery swapping station are effectively controlled, and a relatively safer and more orderly battery swapping service is realized.

[0031] The positive and progressive effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0032] 1. For this channel opening and closing device, by arranging the rotation axis at the upper part of the door panel and setting the extension length of the rotation axis to be the same as the width of the channel opening, the door panel is integrally rotationally connected to the installation door frame through the rotation axis, so as to strengthen the structure of the door panel by using the structure of the rotation axis door panel, and ensure the overall structural stability of the door panel and the rotation axis.

[0033] 2. For this channel opening and closing device, by arranging a driving mechanism on the installation door frame to drive the rotation axis to rotate, so as to indirectly drive the door panel to flip and open. Compared with the scheme of directly applying the driving mechanism to the door panel, such a structural arrangement helps to reduce the local force on the door panel, ensure that the door panel can maintain its shape during the flipping movement, reduce instability and vibration, avoid problems such as local deformation of the door panel caused by directly applying the driving mechanism to the door panel, improve the movement balance of the door panel, and can reduce the uneven load distribution when the transmission parts support the door panel, ensure the stiffness requirement of the door panel, and make the door panel more stable and controllable when flipping.

[0034] 3. For this channel opening and closing device, through this structural arrangement to improve the structural stability, movement balance and door panel rigidity of the channel opening and closing device, it helps to improve the durability of the device and extend its service life.

[0035] 4. The channel opening and closing device enables the door panel to flip and open along the height direction. Compared with other door opening forms such as horizontal flipping, it makes the opening and closing of the channel more convenient. Especially when a battery shuttle car with a relatively wide size needs to pass through the channel, this door opening form that flips in the height direction provides a larger passing width and reduces obstacles. Moreover, when the door panel flips along the height direction, the installation position of the door panel can be customized according to the requirements of the channel opening to adjust the opening degree of the channel to meet different passing requirements. In addition, the flipping design along the height direction can also improve the aesthetics of the channel opening and closing device. Similarly, after the door panel is opened, it can prevent the driver from getting off the vehicle and avoid causing personal injuries.

[0036] 5. The battery swapping station adopting this channel opening and closing device drives the door panel to flip through the driving mechanism to realize the opening and closing of the channel, effectively controlling the opening and closing of the channel of the battery swapping station and realizing a relatively safer and more orderly battery replacement service.

[0058] The present invention will be further described below by way of embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments thereby.

[0059] The present invention provides a battery swapping station for providing battery swapping services for vehicles driving into the battery swapping station. Among them, the battery swapping station includes a battery swapping area and a charging area. The area for vehicles to drive into is the battery swapping area. In the battery swapping area, battery swapping equipment is provided to disassemble and assemble the battery loaded on the vehicle. After the disassembly and assembly are completed, the battery swapping equipment will drive into the charging area through the channel opening to perform a charging operation on the battery removed from the vehicle. In order to separate the charging area and the battery swapping area while not affecting the normal driving of the battery swapping equipment, a channel opening opening and closing device is also provided at the position of the channel opening of the battery swapping station.

[0060] As Figures 1 - 4 shown, this embodiment provides a preferred structural setting scheme for a channel opening opening and closing device 100. Among them, the function of the channel opening opening and closing device 100 is to close and open the channel opening of the battery swapping station. The switching between its open state and closed state is as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown. Among them, the channel opening opening and closing device 100 specifically includes a mounting door frame 11, a door panel 12, a turning shaft 13 and a driving mechanism 14. The mounting door frame 11 encloses the area where the channel opening 15 is located. The door panel 12 is arranged on the mounting door frame 11 and completely covers the channel opening 15. At the same time, the turning shaft 13 extends in the horizontal direction and the extension length of the turning shaft 13 is the same as the width of the channel opening 15. Both ends of the turning shaft 13 are rotatably arranged on the mounting door frame 11. The turning shaft 13 is connected to the upper part of the door panel 12. The driving mechanism 14 is arranged on the mounting door frame 11 and connected to the turning shaft 13. The driving mechanism 14 is used to drive the turning shaft 13 to rotate to open and close the channel opening 15.

[0061] In this embodiment, by arranging the turning shaft 13 at the upper part of the door panel 12 and setting the extension length of the turning shaft 13 to be the same as the width of the channel opening 15, the door panel 12 is integrally rotatably connected to the mounting door frame 11 through the turning shaft 13, so as to strengthen the structure of the door panel 12 by using the structure of the turning shaft 13 and ensure the overall structural stability of the door panel 12 and the turning shaft 13.

[0062] Secondly, by setting a driving mechanism 14 on the installation door frame 11 to drive the rotation axis 13 to rotate, so as to indirectly drive the door panel 12 to flip and open. Compared with the scheme of directly applying the driving mechanism 14 to the door panel 12, such a structural setting helps to reduce the local stress on the door panel 12, ensure that the door panel 12 can maintain its shape during the flipping movement, reduce instability and vibration, avoid problems such as local deformation of the door panel 12 caused by directly applying the driving mechanism 14 to the door panel 12, improve the movement balance of the door panel 12, can reduce the uneven load distribution when supporting the door panel 12, ensure the stiffness requirement of the door panel 12, and make the door panel 12 more stable and controllable when flipping.

[0063] At the same time, through this structural setting to improve the structural stability, movement balance and rigidity of the door panel 12 of the channel opening and closing device 100, it helps to improve the durability of the device and extend the service life.

[0064] In addition, by making the door panel 12 flip and open along the height direction, compared with other door opening forms such as horizontal flipping, it can make the opening and closing of the channel opening 15 more convenient. Especially when a battery shuttle car with a relatively wide size needs to pass through the channel opening 15, this door opening form of flipping in the height direction can provide a larger passing width and reduce obstacles. Moreover, the door panel 12 can be customized according to the needs of the channel opening 15 to adjust the position of the door panel 12 to adjust the opening degree of the channel opening 15 to meet different passing requirements. And the flipping design along the height direction can also improve the aesthetics of the channel opening and closing device 100. Similarly, after the door panel 12 is opened, it can prevent the driver from getting off the vehicle and avoid causing personal injury.

[0065] It should be clearly stated that in this embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, when the door panel 12 is in the closed state, it completely covers the channel opening 15, so as to effectively prevent people and foreign objects from invading the charging area of the battery swapping station, while improving the isolation effect between the charging area and the outside world and meeting the requirements of dust prevention, heat preservation, etc. Of course, in other embodiments, the door panel 12 can also cover or partially cover the channel opening 15 according to needs, and the specific coverage degree can be set according to actual needs.

[0066] As Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, a preferred structural setting scheme of the driving mechanism 14 is further provided: specifically, the driving mechanism 14 includes a transmission member 141 and a driving member 142. Among them, one end of the transmission member 141 is connected to the surface of the rotation axis 13, the other end of the transmission member 141 extends away from the rotation axis 13 and is connected to the driving member 142, and the driving member 142 drives the transmission member 141 to drive the rotation axis 13 to rotate by means of telescopic movement.

[0067] In this embodiment, the transmission member 141 provided on the surface of the rotation axis 13 extends away from the rotation axis 13 to form a cantilever 1411 for connecting the driving member 142. The driving member 142 drives the movement of the cantilever 1411 structure of the transmission member 141 in a telescopic movement manner to generate the power for the rotation axis 13 to rotate, converting the telescopic movement into a rotational movement, so that the door panel 12 can be smoothly opened and closed. Among them, by adopting this method of converting the telescopic movement into a rotational movement, compared with other driving methods that can be adopted by other driving mechanisms 14, such as gear meshing transmission or synchronous belt transmission, the stability of power transmission can be improved.

[0068] In this embodiment, it can be seen from Figure 3 that the driving member 142 is provided on the installation door frame 11 and extends along the height direction of the installation door frame 11. Therefore, the driving member 142 driving the transmission member 141 in a telescopic movement manner can also avoid interfering with other components, and can also make the structure compact and improve the space utilization rate.

[0069] Furthermore, the door panel 12 in this embodiment is formed by a sheet metal bending process to reduce the weight on the premise of ensuring the dimensional parameters such as the thickness and volume of the door panel. Specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the door panel 12 formed by the sheet metal bending method is in the shape of a "C", with a concave cavity. In this embodiment, the concave cavity of the door panel 12 is arranged towards the rotation axis 13 side, as Figure 3 shown. A plurality of abutting blocks 121 extending outward are provided on the surface of the concave cavity. The side of these abutting blocks 121 away from the concave cavity has a semi-circular accommodating groove adapted to the shape of the rotation axis 13 for accommodating the rotation axis 13 with a circular cross-section. The abutting blocks 121 are reliably connected to the rotation axis 13 through this accommodating groove structure.

[0070] Specifically, for the door panel 12 formed by the sheet metal bending process in this embodiment, the weight of the door panel 12 can be effectively reduced by the sheet metal bending process, making the opening of the door panel 12 more stable. At the same time, when the door panel 12 is formed by the sheet metal bending process, by arranging the abutting blocks 121 in the concave cavity of the door panel 12 to perform multi-point connection with the door panel 12, the stability of the connection between the rotation axis 13 and the door panel 12 is enhanced through the multi-point connection method, which can prevent the door panel 12 from shaking or skewing unstably due to insufficient self-rigidity during the flipping process.

[0071] Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotation axis 13 and the abutting blocks 121, as well as the abutting blocks 121 and the door panel 12, are connected by a welding process. Of course, in other embodiments, connection methods with connection strength such as bonding and screwing can also be adopted.

[0072] In this embodiment, a welding process is adopted to ensure that the connections between the turning shaft 13, the abutting block 121, and the door panel 12 have sufficient strength and stability, guarantee the normal turning of the door panel 12, avoid problems such as the detachment of the door panel 12 caused by unreliable connections between the door panel 12 and the turning shaft 13 or the abutting block 121, provide a relatively stable transmission force, and also improve the durability of the passage opening and closing device 100. In addition, welding is a relatively simple and low-cost manufacturing method, which helps to simplify the manufacturing process of the entire device.

[0073] Moreover, in this embodiment, the driving member 142 and the turning shaft 13 are arranged in a staggered manner. The staggered arrangement of the turning shaft 13 and the driving member 142 can prevent the driving member 142 from interfering with the turning of the turning shaft 13 when moving in a telescopic manner, affecting the normal operating state of the transmission member 141. Such an arrangement also increases the smoothness of the turning of the door panel 12.

[0074] In addition, in this embodiment, the number of the driving mechanisms 14 is one, and the driving member 142 of the driving mechanism 14 is arranged on one side of the installation door frame 11. That is to say, the driving mechanism 14 is only arranged on one side of the installation door frame 11, that is, the driving member 142 is only arranged at any one end of the turning shaft 13 to drive the turning shaft 13 to turn.

[0075] In this embodiment, by only arranging one driving mechanism 14, the number and complexity of the components are reduced, thus simplifying the structure of the entire device. By arranging the driving member 142 on one side of the installation door frame 11, the structural stability is stronger. Such an arrangement also facilitates the maintenance personnel to inspect, repair, or replace these components.

[0076] In other embodiments, two driving mechanisms 14 can also be adopted. The driving members 142 of the two driving mechanisms 14 are respectively arranged on both sides of the installation door frame 11, that is, respectively arranged at both ends of the turning shaft 13, to drive the turning shaft 13 to turn simultaneously. By arranging two driving mechanisms 14 and correspondingly arranging the driving members 142 of the two driving mechanisms 14 on both sides of the installation door frame 11, the synchronism and consistency of the simultaneous opening of both sides of the door panel 12 can be further enhanced, the transmission lag is reduced, and problems such as deformation of the door panel 12 caused by the asynchronous turning of the door panel 12 can be effectively avoided.

[0077] Such as Figure 3As shown, specifically, the transmission member 141 further specifically includes a cantilever 1411 connected to the turning shaft 13, and a moving arm 1412 disposed at one end of the cantilever 1411 away from the turning shaft 13 and connected to the driving member 142. The cantilever 1411 and the moving arm 1412 are movably connected, preferably hinged. The moving arm 1412 and the turning shaft 13 are arranged in a staggered manner. The driving member 142 drives the moving arm 1412 to move in a lifting manner, thereby driving the cantilever 1411 to drive the turning shaft 13 to turn in an up-and-down swinging manner.

[0078] In this embodiment, the movable connection between the moving arm 1412 and the cantilever 1411 enables the lifting movement of the moving arm 1412 to be transmitted to the cantilever 1411, and the cantilever 1411 is then transmitted to the turning shaft 13 in an up-and-down swinging manner, thereby realizing the turning movement of the turning shaft 13 to drive the door panel 12. At the same time, the staggered arrangement of the moving arm 1412 and the turning shaft 13 can prevent the turning shaft 13 from interfering with the lifting movement of the moving arm 1412 and affecting the normal operating state of the moving arm 1412. Such an arrangement also increases the smoothness of the turning of the door panel 12.

[0079] At the same time, in this embodiment, the driving member 142 is an electric push rod. The driving member 142 includes a driving motor, meshing gears, and a pushing member connected to the transmission member 141. One of the gears is connected to the driving shaft of the driving motor, and the other gear is connected to the pushing member to drive the transmission member 141, that is, to drive the moving arm 1412 to move.

[0080] In this embodiment, compared with other driving schemes, the driving member 142 in this scheme uses an electric push rod, which can realize the automation and remote control of the opening and closing process of the channel opening 15. Among them, the electric push rod uses the meshing method of gears for transmission, providing a reliable mechanical connection, ensuring the stability and reliability of the transmitted power, and helping to ensure that the transmission member 141 can be effectively controlled by the electric push rod.

[0081] Therefore, the transmission method using an electric push rod can provide precise motion control for the door panel 12, making the opening and closing process of the channel opening 15 more accurate and controllable to ensure the safe and efficient opening and closing of the channel opening 15.

[0082] In other embodiments, the structural form of the driving member 142 can be set as required, such as other driving schemes with telescopic movement, such as existing technologies such as cylinders and oil cylinders, and specific settings are not limited.

[0083] As Figure 4 As shown, on the installation door frame 11, there is an installation seat 111 for the turning shaft 13 to pass through and limit the turning shaft 13. At the same time, a copper washer 112 is provided between the installation seat 111 and the turning shaft 13.

[0084] In this embodiment, the installation base 111 enhances the stability of the limit fixation of the flipping shaft 13, which helps to ensure that the flipping shaft 13 remains stable during movement and reduces unnecessary shaking or deviation. The setting of the copper washer 112 can reduce the friction between the installation base 111 and the flipping shaft 13, thus making the rotation of the flipping shaft 13 smoother. This not only helps to improve the efficiency of the entire device, reduce energy loss, but also improves the durability of the entire device. Moreover, such a setting also facilitates the maintenance workers to replace and repair it. In addition, the stable installation base 111 and the appropriately selected copper washer 112 can reduce the vibration and noise that may be caused during the movement of the flipping shaft 13.

[0085] As Figure 3 shown, a position detection component 16 is also provided at a position of the installation door frame 11 close to the passage opening 15, and the position detection component 16 is electrically connected to the driving mechanism 14.

[0086] Therefore, the position of the position detection component 16 on the installation door frame 11 is set such that when the door panel 12 is flipped to a preset position, it can contact the detection end of the position detection component 16 to stop the driving mechanism 14 from continuing to drive the door panel 12 to flip.

[0087] In this embodiment, by using the position detection component 16, it can accurately detect whether the door panel 12 is flipped to the preset position, and timely send the position of the door panel 12 to the driving mechanism 14 in the form of signal transmission, so that the driving mechanism 14 can perform the next step according to the received signal. This design helps to ensure that the door panel 12 can accurately stop at the required position, improve the opening and closing accuracy of the passage opening 15, thereby preventing the door panel 12 from overflipping or misaligning, ensuring the safety performance of the passage opening opening and closing device 100, and avoiding problems such as potential safety hazards caused by the door panel 12 staying in the incorrect position.

[0088] Specifically, the position detection component 16 includes a touch arm 161 for contacting the door panel 12, and a sensor 162 connected to the touch arm 161 and electrically connected to the driving mechanism 14. When the door panel 12 is about to close the passage opening 15 and is flipped to the preset position, the door panel 12 will push the touch arm 161 to move. When the door panel 12 closes the passage opening 15, the touch arm 161 reaches its limit position and sends a signal to stop running to the driving mechanism 14 through the sensor 162.

[0089] In this embodiment, by monitoring the position of the touch arm 161 through the sensor 162, the accurate detection of the position of the door panel 12 can be realized. And through the mechanical way that the door panel 12 contacts the touch arm 161, the detection of the position detection component 16 is more reliable, and it can send a signal to the driving mechanism 14 in a timely manner. This real-time feedback ensures that the monitoring of the position of the door panel 12 by the position detection component 16 is timely and accurate.

[0090] Among them, the sensor 162 can select its form as needed, such as a contact sensor 162 or a non-contact sensor 162, without specific limitation.

[0091] The channel opening and closing device 100 in this embodiment is applied in a battery swapping station to realize the opening and closing of the channel opening of the battery swapping station. However, in other embodiments, the channel opening and closing device 100 can also be applied to other devices in the battery swapping field to equally achieve the purpose of reliably opening and closing the channel opening.
