Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of shared batteries, and specifically to a shared battery intelligent charging and replacement cabinet and its management and control method. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of O2O, the takeaway and express delivery services have developed very rapidly in the past two years. The average daily orders during the peak periods of takeaway and express delivery have exceeded ten million. The main means of transportation for takeaway riders and express delivery riders are both two-wheeled electric vehicles. At present, the two-wheeled electric vehicles adopted in the industry have two characteristics: one is using lead-acid batteries as the power source of the electric vehicle, and the other is using the self-charging method. These two characteristics have severely restricted the rapid development of this industry. Firstly, the lead-acid batteries have poor endurance, long charging time, fast battery loss, large volume, heavy weight, low efficiency, etc., which can no longer meet the development needs of the takeaway and express delivery industries by far.

[0003] Secondly, the self-charging method of takeaway riders and express delivery riders has seriously affected the delivery efficiency. Therefore, replacing the battery of the electric vehicle has become an effective solution to this pain point.

[0004] And the most critical technical point at present is how to prevent the battery from being stolen and how to ensure the safe recycling of the replaced battery. Currently, the market adopts the method of program-controlled electronic locks to control the battery lock alone, that is, after the user takes out the fully charged battery, then puts the battery to be charged back, and then locks the battery. This method relies very much on people's honesty.

[0005] If the steps of locking and unlocking the dead battery and the fully charged battery can be synchronized, unnecessary theft and other problems will be reduced. Based on this, this case is born. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0029] The embodiment of the present invention provides a shared battery intelligent charging and changing cabinet and a management and control method thereof, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, it includes a cabinet 1 and a battery 3, and a handle 23 is arranged on the outside of the battery 3. The cabinet 1 is provided with a plurality of battery storage cavities 2 for inserting the batteries 3, and a mechanism cavity 4 is arranged on the back of each battery storage cavity 2 on the cabinet 1.

[0030] The battery storage chamber 2 is connected to the mechanism chamber 4 through a lock tongue insertion hole 5. A lock tongue 6 that can be inserted into the lock tongue insertion hole 5 is provided on the back of each battery 3. The lock tongue 6 is a long strip structure. The length of the insertion hole 5 is about three times the width of the ring hook 8, so that the lock tongue 6 can move in and out during the movement of the ring hook 8. The insertion hole 5 has sufficient length to prevent the ring hook 8 from still being able to move in and out when the lock tongue 6 is in a dynamic state. A lock hole 10 is opened horizontally through the lock tongue 6, and a locking mechanism that can lock the lock hole 10 is provided in each mechanism chamber 4.

[0031] Two adjacent battery storage chambers 2 are used as a group, one battery storage chamber 2 is used to replace fully charged batteries 3, and the other battery storage chamber 2 is used to recover low-charged batteries 3. Two adjacent mechanism chambers 4 are arranged as a through group, and two adjacent locking mechanisms are linked through a linkage mechanism. When one of the locking mechanisms locks the lock hole 10, the other locking mechanism unlocks the lock hole 10.

[0032] Specifically, Figures 2-3 As shown, the locking mechanism includes a support ring 7, a ring hook 8, several guide wheels 9, a main gear 11, a driving gear 13, and a rack 14. The support ring 7 is composed of two crescent-shaped semicircular rings. The support ring 7 is fixed in the mechanism cavity 4. The two crescent-shaped rings are between the passages for the lock tongue 6 to pass through. The cross section of the guide wheel 9 is an I-shaped. Several guide wheels 9 are rotatably arranged on the support ring 7 through bearings and arranged at equal angles along the circumference. The ring hook 8 is circumferentially slidably adapted in the grooves of several guide wheels 9. The outer diameter of the ring hook 8 is smaller than the inner ring diameter formed by the grooves of several guide wheels 9, and larger than the outer ring diameter formed by the outer edge of the guide wheel 9. The guide wheel 9 is used to guide the circumferential rotation of the ring hook 8. The inner ring of the ring hook 8 is a gear ring. A gear frame 12 is fixed in the mechanism cavity 4. The rotating shaft of the main gear 11 is pivotally connected to the gear frame 12 and meshes with the inner ring teeth of the ring hook 8. The main gear 11 is used to drive the ring hook 8 to rotate circumferentially. The driving gear 13 is coaxially connected to the main gear 11.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the rack 14 is slidably fitted in the mechanism cavity 4 through a sliding assembly and arranged along the insertion direction of the battery 3. Specifically, the sliding assembly includes a guide rail 16, which is arranged in the mechanism cavity 4 along the insertion direction of the battery 3, and the back of the rack 14 is slidably fitted on the guide rail 16. The rack 14 and the driving gear 13 are used to convert the linear displacement of the battery 3 into the circumferential rotation of the ring hook 8.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, a top plate 15 corresponding to the end of the lock tongue 6 is provided at the end of the rack 14, and the rotating shafts of the main gears 11 of the two adjacent sets of locking mechanisms are linked through a linkage mechanism. The ring hook 8 can pass through the lock hole 10 after rotating a certain angle, and a notch is provided on the ring hook 8 for the lock tongue 6 to pass through.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the notches of two adjacent groups of hooks 8 are always at different angles. When the notches of one group of hooks 8 correspond to the lock tongue 6, that is, in an unlocked state, the notches of the other group of hooks 8 are away from the lock tongue 6, that is, in a locked state.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the linkage mechanism includes two sprockets 19 and a chain 20 . The two sprockets 19 are coaxially connected to the rotating shafts of the main gears 11 of two adjacent locking mechanisms, and the two sprockets 19 are connected by the chain 20 .

[0037] The gear racks 14 of the two locking mechanisms are meshed with the corresponding drive gears 13 in opposite directions, that is, in the positions shown in FIG. Figure 5 The left-right symmetrical state shown.

[0038] A charging plug 17 is provided on the gear rack 12 on one side corresponding to the lock tongue 6, and the charging plug 17 is connected to the power grid. A plug through hole 18 is provided on the top plate 15 for the charging plug 17 to pass through, and a charging socket adapted to the charging plug 17 is provided at the end of the lock tongue 6. The charging socket is a charging port for the battery 3.

[0039] When the lock tongue 6 gradually presses the top plate 15 inward, the charging plug 17 will slowly emerge from the plug through hole 18 and be inserted into the charging socket on the lock tongue 6 for charging. When the battery 3 is fully charged and taken out, the top plate 15 can be used to assist in pulling the charging socket away from the charging plug 17.

[0040] When the battery 3 on one side is not fully inserted into the battery storage chamber 2, and the lock tongue 6 of the battery 3 has been locked by the hook 8, but the battery 3 on the other side is not locked, in order to electrically assist in unlocking the battery 3 on the other side, an electromagnet 24 is provided in the mechanism chamber 4, and a magnetic block 25 corresponding to the electromagnet 24 is provided at the head of the rack 14. When the electromagnet 24 is energized, the magnetic poles of one side corresponding to the magnetic block 25 are the same. A button for controlling the electromagnet 24 can be provided outside the entrance of the corresponding battery storage chamber 2. When the electromagnet 24 is energized, the rack 14 and the top plate 15 can be displaced outward, synchronously driving the gear 13 and the hook 8 to rotate out of the lock hole 10, and pushing the lock tongue 6 to move outward.

[0041] An indicator light 22 is provided at the corresponding battery storage cavity 2 on each cabinet body 1. A trigger switch 21 is also provided on one side of the gear rack 12 in the mechanism cavity 4 at the back of the battery storage cavity 2 corresponding to the top plate 15. The trigger switch 21 is electrically connected to the above-mentioned indicator light 22. Only when the lock tongue 6 of the battery 3 is fully pushed to the end, the top plate 15 will press on the trigger switch 21, and the indicator light 22 will light up to prompt the user that the battery 3 has been successfully recycled.

[0042] A display screen 26 is provided on the side of the cabinet body 1. The charging value or other parameters of the battery 3 can be displayed on the display screen 26. This technology is not the focus of protection in this case, so it will not be described in detail.

[0043] A management and control method for a shared battery intelligent charging and replacement cabinet includes the following steps:

[0044] Step 1, insert the battery 3 that needs to be replaced into the battery storage cavity 2 next to the fully charged battery 3;

[0045] Step 2, the lock tongue 6 at the rear of the battery 3 is longitudinally inserted into the lock tongue insertion hole 5 and pushes the top plate 15 to move. The top plate 15 drives the rack 14 to move, and the rack 14 drives the drive gear 13 and the main gear 11 to rotate, so that the ring hook 8 rotates through the lock hole 10; at the same time, the drive gear 13 drives the drive gear 13 in the adjacent mechanism cavity 4 through the chain 20, so that the corresponding ring hook 8 rotates out of the lock hole 10;

[0046] Step 3, when the lock tongue 6 fully pushes the top plate 15 to the end and contacts the trigger switch 21, after the indicator light 22 lights up, pull out the fully charged battery 3 from the corresponding battery storage cavity 2 to complete the battery replacement.

[0047] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
