[0002] In the field of electric trucks, due to the large number of batteries equipped, the charging time is relatively long. In this field, the batteries are usually fixed on a support frame to form a battery pack that can be disassembled and replaced as a whole, and a battery swapping station dedicated to charging the battery pack is set up so that the battery pack on the vehicle can be quickly replaced when the power is insufficient. With the development of the industry, to meet diverse needs, the functions of the battery swapping station have also been extended in this field, forming a charging, swapping, and supplementing energy station that can not only quickly replace the battery pack but also directly charge the battery pack on the vehicle. The overhead crane is an important part of the battery swapping station or the charging, swapping, and supplementing energy station, and plays a role in hoisting the battery pack between the vehicle and the charging position. The spreader used in the traditional overhead crane has problems such as inconvenient connection and low automation. For example, the "power battery spreader for new energy vehicles" disclosed in the patent with the publication number CN215946488U. To solve the problems existing in the traditional overhead crane, technicians in this field have developed a hoisting system that can automatically connect to the battery pack through electric control. For example, the "battery hoisting system for a truck battery swapping station" disclosed in the patent with the publication number CN116119539A mainly includes a longitudinal movement frame, a transverse movement frame, a lifting mechanism, and a battery spreader.

The four movable pulleys are connected to the lifting mechanism through four steel wire ropes. This structure of the battery hoisting system has problems such as complex structure, large occupied space, and poor stability in actual application because the speed reducer and the fixed pulleys are set on the transverse movement frame, while the movable pulleys are set on the battery spreader.

Pressing rope rollers are respectively installed on the docking frame at positions corresponding to the respective rope winding wheels through wheel brackets.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the battery hoisting system of the charging, swapping and supplementing energy station of the present invention has the following advantages: By setting a longitudinal moving frame, a transverse moving frame and a battery sling, the longitudinal moving frame moves longitudinally along two longitudinal guide rails fixed in the box body of the energy supplementing station, the transverse moving frame moves transversely along two transverse guide rails fixed on the longitudinal moving frame, and four fixed pulleys are symmetrically arranged on the transverse moving frame. The battery sling is provided with a docking frame and two sets of hook assemblies. Two lifting speed reducers symmetrically distributed longitudinally are arranged on the docking frame. The input shaft of the lifting speed reducer is connected to a lifting drive motor. Rope winding wheels are respectively installed at both ends of the output shaft of the lifting speed reducer. Four sling assemblies corresponding to the rope winding wheels are arranged on the docking frame. Among them, the four sling assemblies respectively bypass the four fixed pulleys through steel wires and are connected to the corresponding rope winding wheels. The two sets of hook assemblies are symmetrically arranged longitudinally. The hook assembly is provided with an intermediate connecting seat fixed at the bottom of the docking frame. Side connecting seats fixed at the bottom of the docking frame are respectively arranged on the transverse sides of the intermediate connecting seat. A rotating shaft is installed on the side connecting seat, a lifting claw is fixed at the lower end of the rotating shaft, and a cylinder is arranged between the lifting claw and the intermediate connecting seat. Thus, a battery hoisting system for a charging, swapping and supplementing energy station with a compact structure, small occupied space, convenient operation, stable and reliable performance and strong practicability is formed. In practical applications, when the lifting drive motor and the lifting speed reducer wind and unwind the steel wire through the rope winding wheel, the battery sling can be lifted and lowered by using the change in the length of the steel wire and the cooperation of the fixed pulley. When the transverse moving frame moves along the transverse guide rail, the battery sling can be moved transversely. When the longitudinal moving frame moves along the longitudinal guide rail, the transverse moving frame and the battery sling can be moved longitudinally, thus realizing the omnidirectional movement of the battery sling. When hoisting the battery, first move the battery sling directly above the battery pack, then release the steel wire from the rope winding wheel through the lifting drive motor and the lifting speed reducer until the battery sling falls on the battery pack. Then, drive the corresponding lifting claws to rotate to the lower side of the support frame side beam of the battery pack through each cylinder to hook the battery pack, thus realizing the connection between the battery sling and the battery pack. Subsequently, wind the steel wire back to the rope winding wheel through the lifting drive motor and the lifting speed reducer until the docking frame is docked with the transverse moving frame. Finally, move the battery pack from the charging position to the vehicle or from the vehicle to the charging position, and release the connection between the battery sling and the battery pack. Thus, a battery hoisting is completed. When releasing the connection between the battery sling and the battery pack, just rotate each lifting claw to the initial position. Compared with the prior art, by moving the original lifting speed reducer and rope winding wheel arranged on the transverse moving frame to the battery sling and removing the original movable pulley arranged on the battery sling, on the one hand, the structural layout is optimized, the integration degree of the battery sling is improved, and the overall height after the battery sling is docked with the transverse moving frame is reduced, which is beneficial to reducing the height and occupied space of the swapping station or the energy supplementing station. On the other hand, by removing the movable pulley, the path of the steel wire during the lifting process is reduced, and the stability of the lifting action is improved.Meanwhile, in the present invention, by providing an intermediate connecting seat, side connecting seats, a rotating shaft, a lifting claw, and a cylinder in the lifting hook assembly, and directly driving the lifting claw to rotate by the cylinder, compared with the prior art, transmission mechanisms such as a sliding plate, a guiding hole, rollers, a guide rail, and a slider are eliminated, improving the stability and reliability.

[0034] First of all, it should be noted that the orientation words such as up, down, left, right, front, and back in the present invention are only described according to the drawings for the convenience of understanding, and do not limit the technical solution and the scope of protection claimed in the present invention.

[0035] As Figures 1 to 18 Shown in the specific embodiment of a battery hoisting system for a charging, swapping, and supplementing energy station in the present invention, which includes a longitudinal movement frame 1, a transverse movement frame 2, and a battery hoist 3. The longitudinal movement frame 1 is longitudinally moved along two longitudinal guide rails (not shown in the figure) fixed in the energy supplementing station box body. The transverse movement frame 2 is transversely moved along two transverse guide rails 11 fixed on the longitudinal movement frame 1, and four fixed pulleys 21 are symmetrically installed on the transverse movement frame 2. The battery hoist 3 is provided with a docking frame 31 and two groups of hook assemblies 32, and two lifting speed reducers 33 are symmetrically arranged longitudinally on the docking frame 31. Among them, the input shaft of the lifting speed reducer 33 is connected with a lifting drive motor (not shown in the figure), and the output shaft ends of the lifting speed reducer 33 are respectively installed with rope winding wheels 34. Four lifting ring assemblies 35 corresponding to the rope winding wheels 34 are provided on the docking frame 31. The four lifting ring assemblies 35 respectively bypass the four fixed pulleys 21 through steel wires 36 and are connected with the corresponding rope winding wheels 34; the two groups of hook assemblies 32 are symmetrically arranged longitudinally. The hook assembly 32 is provided with an intermediate connection seat 321 fixed at the bottom of the docking frame 31. Side connection seats 322 fixed at the bottom of the docking frame 31 are respectively arranged on the transverse two sides of the intermediate connection seat 321. A rotating shaft 323 is installed on the side connection seat 322, a claw 324 is fixed at the lower end of the rotating shaft 323, and a cylinder 325 is arranged between the claw 324 and the intermediate connection seat 321 so as to drive the claw 324 to rotate around the rotating shaft 323 through the cylinder 325.

[0036] Through the above settings, a battery lifting and transferring system for a charging and swapping energy station with a compact structure, small space occupation, convenient operation, stable and reliable performance, and strong practicability is formed. In actual application, when the lifting drive motor and the lifting speed reducer 33 wind and unwind the steel wire rope 36 through the rope winding wheel 34, by utilizing the change in the length of the steel wire rope 36 and through the cooperation of the fixed pulley 21, the battery lifting device 3 can be lifted and moved; when the transverse movement frame 2 moves along the transverse guide rail 11, it can drive the battery lifting device 3 to move horizontally, and when the longitudinal movement frame 1 moves along the longitudinal guide rail, it can drive the transverse movement frame 2 and the battery lifting device 3 to move longitudinally, thus realizing the omnidirectional movement of the battery lifting device 3. When lifting a battery, first move the battery lifting device 3 directly above the battery pack, then release the steel wire rope 36 from the rope winding wheel 34 through the lifting drive motor and the lifting speed reducer 33 until the battery lifting device 3 lands on the battery pack. Then, drive the corresponding lifting claws 324 to rotate to the lower side of the support frame side beam of the battery pack through each cylinder 325 to hook the battery pack, thereby realizing the connection between the battery lifting device 3 and the battery pack. Subsequently, wind the steel wire rope 36 back onto the rope winding wheel 34 through the lifting drive motor and the lifting speed reducer 33 until the docking frame 31 is docked with the transverse movement frame 2. Finally, move the battery pack from the charging position to the vehicle or from the vehicle to the charging position, and release the connection between the battery lifting device 3 and the battery pack. Thus, one battery lifting operation is completed. When releasing the connection between the battery lifting device 3 and the battery pack, just rotate each lifting claw 324 to the initial position. Compared with the prior art, in the present invention, the lifting speed reducer 33 and the rope winding wheel 34 originally arranged on the transverse movement frame 2 are moved to the battery lifting device 3, and the movable pulley originally arranged on the battery lifting device 3 is removed. On the one hand, the structural layout is optimized, the integration degree of the battery lifting device is improved, and the overall height after the battery lifting device 3 is docked with the transverse movement frame 2 is reduced, which is beneficial to reducing the height and space occupation of the swapping station or the energy replenishment station. On the other hand, by removing the movable pulley, the path of the steel wire rope 36 during the lifting process is shortened, and the stability of the lifting action is improved. At the same time, in the present invention, by arranging the hook assembly 32 with an intermediate connection seat 321, side connection seats 322, a rotating shaft 323, lifting claws 324, and cylinders 325, and directly driving the lifting claws 324 to rotate by the cylinders 325, compared with the prior art, transmission mechanisms such as a slide plate, a guide hole, rollers, a guide rail, and a slider are omitted, and the stability and reliability are improved.

[0037] As a specific embodiment, for example Figure 2As shown in the figure, the present invention adopts the following longitudinal movement drive mechanism for the longitudinal movement frame 1: Four longitudinal movement rollers 12 are symmetrically distributed and mounted on the longitudinal guide rails on the longitudinal movement frame 1, and a longitudinal movement reduction gear 13 is mounted on the longitudinal movement frame 1. The input shaft of the longitudinal movement reduction gear 13 is connected to a longitudinal movement drive motor (not shown in the figure), and the two ends of the output shaft of the longitudinal movement reduction gear 13 are respectively connected to two longitudinal movement rollers 12 through longitudinal movement transmission shafts 14. This setting drives the longitudinal movement rollers 12 to rotate forward and backward through the longitudinal movement drive motor and the longitudinal movement reduction gear 13, so that the longitudinal movement frame 1 can move longitudinally along the longitudinal guide rails, and has the characteristics of simple structure and convenient operation. It should be noted that the two longitudinal movement rollers 12 connected to the output shaft of the longitudinal movement reduction gear 13 should be symmetrically distributed in the transverse direction and correspondingly located on two longitudinal guide rails to ensure the stability and balance of the structure. As a specific implementation method, as Figures 2 to 9 shown in the figure, the present invention adopts the following transverse movement drive mechanism for the transverse movement frame 2: Four transverse movement rollers 22 are symmetrically distributed and mounted on the transverse guide rails 11 on the transverse movement frame 2, and a transverse movement reduction gear 23 is mounted on the transverse movement frame 2. The input shaft of the transverse movement reduction gear 23 is connected to a transverse movement drive motor (not shown in the figure). Active sprockets 25 are respectively mounted at the two ends of the output shaft of the transverse movement reduction gear 23 through transverse movement transmission shafts 24. Driven sprockets 26 are respectively arranged on both sides of the active sprockets 25. Among them, a chain 15 with both ends fixed and corresponding to the active sprockets 25 is provided on the longitudinal movement frame 1. The chain 15 bypasses the corresponding active sprockets 25 and driven sprockets 26 in a "J" shape. This setting drives the active sprockets 25 to rotate forward and backward through the transverse movement drive motor and the transverse movement reduction gear 23. With the cooperation of the chain 15 and the driven sprockets 26, the transverse movement frame 2 can move transversely along the transverse guide rails 11. Compared with the prior art, by adopting a drive form of sprocket and chain cooperation, and making the chain 15 bypass the active sprockets 25 and two driven sprockets 26 in a "J" shape, the drive reliability and the accuracy of transverse movement control are improved. It should be noted that in the present invention, the transverse movement transmission shafts 24 are usually mounted on the transverse movement frame 2 by bearings to improve the support stability, and the active sprockets 25 are fixed on the transverse movement transmission shafts 24; similarly, in the present invention, a support shaft is fixed on the transverse movement frame 2, and the driven sprockets 26 are mounted on the support shaft by bearings.

[0038] As an optimized solution, as Figures 10 to 13As shown in the figure, in this specific embodiment, a first proximity switch 37 corresponding to each of the four sling assemblies 35 is provided at the bottom of the docking frame 31, and the sling assembly 35 is structured as follows: a first guide rod 351 passing through the docking frame 31 is provided, a sling 352 of a wire rope 36 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the first guide rod 351, an adjusting nut 353 is installed at the lower end of the first guide rod 351, a spring seat 354 cooperating with the first proximity switch 37 is sleeved on the first guide rod 351 above the adjusting nut 353, and a first spring 355 is sleeved on the first guide rod 351 between the spring seat 354 and the docking frame 31. This arrangement will compress the first spring 355 to its minimum length under the action of the gravity of the battery hoist 3 under normal working conditions, and align the spring seat 354 with the first proximity switch 37; when hoisting the battery, if the wire rope 36 continues to be released after the battery hoist 2 falls onto the battery pack, the spring seat 354 will move downward under the elastic force of the first spring 355 and trigger a signal from the first proximity switch 37, achieving the purpose of detecting over-release of the wire rope, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of chaotic entanglement of the wire rope caused by over-release, ensuring the stability of the structure and the lifting action, and having the characteristics of simple structure and sensitive action. As an optimized solution, in this specific embodiment, four horizontally distributed guide columns 38 are fixed at the bottom of the docking frame 31, and an inclined surface that is lower inside and higher outside in the horizontal direction is provided at the lower end of the horizontally distributed guide columns 38, and a horizontal guard plate 381 is fixed on the inclined surface and the outer side surface of the horizontally distributed guide columns 38. Correspondingly, an inclined surface that is lower outside and higher inside in the vertical direction is provided at the lower end of the intermediate connection seat 321, and a vertical guard plate 3211 is fixed on the inclined surface and the inner side surface of the intermediate connection seat 321. This arrangement can play a guiding and positioning role in the horizontal direction by using the four horizontally distributed guide columns 38 and their inclined surfaces when the battery hoist 3 falls and docks with the battery pack, and reduce the sound and wear through the horizontal guard plate 381; the intermediate connection seat 321 of the two sets of hook assemblies 32 and its inclined surface can play a guiding and positioning role in the vertical direction, and reduce the sound and wear through the vertical guard plate 3211. Among them, the side beam of the support frame of the battery pack plays a horizontal limiting and blocking role for the horizontally distributed guide columns 38, and the cross beam of the support frame of the battery pack plays a vertical limiting and blocking role for the intermediate connection seat 321 of the two sets of hook assemblies 32. Similarly, in this specific embodiment, an auxiliary guard plate 3221 is fixed on the outer side of the side connection seat 322, and a triangular auxiliary guard block 3241 is fixed on the outer side of the lifting claw 324, so as to enhance the guiding and protective effects through the auxiliary guard plate 3221 and the auxiliary guard block 3241. In practical applications, the present invention generally makes the horizontal guard plate 381, the vertical guard plate 3211, the auxiliary guard plate 3221 and the auxiliary guard block 3241 made of nylon.

[0039] As an optimization solution, in this specific embodiment, a descending-in-place detection component 39 is installed on the docking frame 31, and the descending-in-place detection component 39 adopts the following structure: an L-shaped bracket 391 is fixed on the docking frame 31, two second proximity switches 392 are fixed on the vertical part of the L-shaped bracket 391, a second guide rod 394 is installed on the horizontal part of the L-shaped bracket 391 through a guide sleeve 393, a retaining ring 395 is arranged at the lower end of the second guide rod 394, a second spring 396 is sleeved on the second guide rod 394 between the retaining ring 395 and the guide sleeve 393, and a limit sleeve 397 that cooperates with the second proximity switches 392 is fixed at the upper end of the second guide rod 394. With this setting, when the battery hoist 3 descends to dock with the battery pack, the support frame of the battery pack will block the second guide rod 394 and compress the second spring 396 through the retaining ring 395. When the battery hoist 3 descends in place, the limit sleeve 397 will trigger signals for both second proximity switches 392, thereby achieving the purpose of in-place detection. At this time, the battery pack can be hooked by rotating the lifting claws; after hooking the battery pack, during the process of the battery hoist 3 ascending and moving with the battery pack, the upper second proximity switch 392 will lose the signal due to a small distance between the docking frame 31 and the support frame. At this time, only the lower second proximity switch 392 has a triggered signal, indicating that the battery pack is on the battery hoist 3, playing a safety reminder role and avoiding misoperation; when the battery hoist 3 disconnects from the battery pack and leaves, the second guide rod 394 and the limit sleeve 397 will automatically reset under the action of the second spring 396. In practical applications, to ensure the reliability of detection, the present invention usually sets two descending-in-place detection components 39 and distributes them on both sides of the docking frame 31. As an optimization solution, this specific embodiment also fixes two descending limit supports 311 and two positioning columns 312 on the docking frame 31.
