Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a battery pack transport and battery replacement device, and in particular to a battery pack transport and battery replacement device. Background Art

[0002] The battery pack transfer and battery swap device technology requires the battery pack to be removed from the bottom of the new energy vehicle, then transported out by a battery pack transfer vehicle, and then the new battery is moved to the bottom of the new energy vehicle and reinstalled. In an open venue rather than a battery swap station, the road conditions are complex and prone to bumps. After the battery pack is received, the battery pack needs to be positioned. However, most existing positioning devices clamp the battery pack on a support table with claws. When on bumpy roads, the battery pack will vibrate, and the clamping point will produce a rigid effect with the battery pack. The inertial impact generated during bumps may cause stress concentration on the contact surface, resulting in surface indentations or structural damage. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a battery pack transfer and replacement device to address the problem that most existing positioning devices use claws to clamp the battery pack on a support platform.

[0011] A sliding seat is provided for sliding in the track groove, and the sliding seat is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable platform. A driving gear is rotatably connected to the sliding seat. The two racks are respectively fixedly connected to the top ends of the inner walls of the two track grooves, and the two racks are respectively meshed with the driving gear below. The rack includes a fixed rack and a movable rack. The fixed rack is fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the fixed section of the track groove, and the movable rack is fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the movable section of the track groove. The first motor is fixedly mounted on the movable platform, and the output end of the first motor is coaxially fixedly connected to the driving gear.

[0013] In one embodiment, the clamping limit assembly includes a socket and a lap groove, two support rods are slidably plugged into the socket, the socket is fixedly connected to the top of the movable platform, the tops of the two support rods are fixedly connected to a lower pressure seat, and a first spring is sleeved on the surface of the two support rods, the two ends of the first spring are respectively fixedly connected to the lower pressure seat and the socket, the top of the lower pressure seat is rotatably connected to a first rubber roller, the lap groove is opened at the top edge of the elastic telescopic platform, a plug-in body is fixedly installed on the lower pressure seat, and the plug-in body is slidably docked with the lap groove.

[0014] In one embodiment, a connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the top surface of the socket, and a second rubber roller is sleeved on the surface of the connecting shaft.

[0015] In one embodiment, a sleeve groove is formed at the end of the second rubber roller, a damping ring is fixedly connected in the sleeve groove, the damping ring is sleeved on the surface of the connecting shaft, and the inner ring surface of the damping ring is in friction contact with the surface of the connecting shaft.

[0016] In one embodiment, ventilation channels are opened between both ends of the second lifting platform and the first lifting platform, and the ventilation channels include a first channel and a second channel. The first channel runs from the end of the second lifting platform to the top of the second lifting platform, and the second channel runs from the end of the first lifting platform to the accommodating groove, and the second channel is connected to the first channel.

[0017] In one embodiment, the elastic telescopic platform includes a fixed ring and a movable ring, the movable ring is slidably inserted into the fixed ring, a buffer spring is fixedly connected between the bottom of the movable ring and the top of the first lifting platform, and the overlapping groove is opened at the edge of the movable ring.

[0018] In one embodiment, the battery-exchanging vehicle body is provided with an installation groove, and two lifters are provided in the installation groove, and the lifters are used to adjust the height of the first lifting platform.

[0019] The above-mentioned battery pack transfer and battery exchange device, when the two mobile platforms are approaching each other, will drive the two clamping and limiting components to press the top of the battery pack body while overlapping with the edge of the elastic telescopic platform, so that the battery pack body is restricted on the elastic telescopic platform. When vibration occurs, the electric elastic telescopic platform converts the vibration kinetic energy into elastic potential energy through elastic deformation, reducing the transfer of energy to the battery pack body, which is beneficial to reducing the inertial impact generated during bumps, which may cause stress concentration on the contact surface, resulting in the possibility of surface indentation or structural damage.

[0020] The plug-in seat is driven to move by the moving platform, and the plug-in seat synchronously drives the lower pressure seat to move until the first rubber roller rolls and presses down to the top of the battery pack body, thereby limiting the top of the battery pack body, and the plug-in body docks with the upper overlapping groove, so that the distance between the top of the elastic telescopic platform and the first rubber roller is limited, so that the battery pack body is limited between the elastic telescopic platform and the first rubber roller. On the one hand, it prevents the battery pack body from detaching from the top of the first lifting platform, thereby limiting the battery pack body and preventing it from slipping. On the other hand, during vibration, the deformation of the first spring and the elastic telescopic platform converts the vibration kinetic energy into elastic potential energy through elastic deformation, thereby reducing the transfer of energy to the battery pack body.

[0021] When the two movable platforms in the same pair approach each other, the connecting shaft on the socket synchronously drives the second rubber roller to move until the two second rubber rollers clamp and limit the two ends of the fixed body on the side of the battery pack main body, completing the lateral limitation of the battery pack main body, so that the battery pack main body and the top of the elastic telescopic platform are relatively stable, and through the support and limitation of the first rubber roller, the second rubber roller and the elastic telescopic platform, the limiting contact points are all elastic contacts, which is conducive to avoiding rigid damage to the surface of the battery pack main body caused by rigid contact.

[0022] When the battery pack body vibrates, the elastic telescopic platform, the battery pack body and the first rubber roller as a whole will swing up and down, and the damping ring will generate friction damping with the surface of the connecting shaft, and the mechanical vibration energy will be converted into heat energy dissipation, which ensures that the second rubber roller clamps and limits the fixed body of the battery pack body and realizes the damping of mechanical vibration.

[0023] When the space formed between the battery pack main body and the elastic telescopic platform and the second lifting platform becomes larger, the external air will pass through the second channel and the first channel in sequence under the action of atmospheric pressure and enter the space formed between the battery pack main body and the accommodating groove and the second lifting platform. When the space formed between the battery pack main body and the elastic telescopic platform and the second lifting platform becomes smaller, the gas in the space formed between the battery pack main body and the elastic telescopic platform and the second lifting platform will pass through the first channel and the second channel and be discharged. On the one hand, the circulation of gas in the channel will generate friction resistance, which has a damping effect on vibration. On the other hand, by replacing the gas in the space at the bottom of the battery pack main body, it is beneficial to dissipate heat from the bottom of the battery pack main body.

The terms used in this description are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" as used in this description includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0043] In order to better understand the embodiments of the present invention, the following explanations are made:

[0044] A fixing body 3201 is fixedly provided on both side walls of the battery pack main body 32 , and both ends of the fixing body 3201 are provided with inclined surfaces.

[0045] Based on the above explanation, the following Figures 1-11 The battery pack transport and replacement device of the present invention is described.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, in one embodiment, a battery pack transport and battery swapping device includes a battery swapping vehicle body 1 and further includes:

[0047] The first lifting platform 2 is arranged on the top of the battery-swapping vehicle body 1, and a receiving groove 3 is provided on the top of the first lifting platform 2;

[0048] A second lifting platform 4, which is arranged in the receiving tank 3;

[0049] An elastic telescopic platform 5 is fixedly mounted on the top of the first lifting platform 2 and surrounds the accommodating slot 3 and the second lifting platform 4;

[0050] Two pairs of movable platforms 6 are slidably arranged on both sides of the first lifting platform 2. The movable platforms 6 are provided with clamping and limiting components. When the two movable platforms 6 in the same pair approach each other, the two clamping and limiting components are driven to press the top of the battery pack body 32 while overlapping with the edge of the elastic telescopic platform 5, so that the battery pack body 32 is restricted on the elastic telescopic platform 5.

[0051] Specifically, a mounting groove 101 is provided on the top of the battery swapping vehicle body 1, and two lifters are provided in the mounting groove 101, and the lifters are used to adjust the height of the first lifting platform 2;

[0052] Specifically, the lifter includes a second motor 7, a first lifting rod 31 and a second lifting rod 33. The first lifting rod 31 and the second lifting rod 33 are cross-rotatingly connected. The bottom end of the first lifting rod 31 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting groove 101. The top end of the first lifting rod 31 is rotatably connected to the first connecting seat 34. The first connecting seat 34 is slidably connected to the bottom of the first lifting platform 2. The top end of the second lifting rod 33 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the first lifting platform 2. The bottom end of the second lifting rod 33 is rotatably connected to the second connecting seat 35. The second connecting seat 35 is slidably connected to the inner bottom surface of the mounting groove 101. The second connecting seat 35 is threadedly connected to a threaded rod 8. The second motor 7 is fixedly installed in the mounting groove 101, and the output end is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded rod 8. It should be understood that when the height of the first lifting platform 2 needs to be adjusted, the second motor 7 is started, the second motor 7 drives the threaded rod 8 to rotate, the threaded rod 8 drives the second connecting seat 35 to move, and the second connecting seat 35 moves the bottom end of the second lifting rod 33, so that the cross-arranged first lifting rod 31 and the second lifting rod 33 are linked, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height of the first lifting platform 2.

[0053] Electric cylinders 9 are fixedly mounted at the four corners of the bottom of the first lifting platform 2. The output ends of the electric cylinders 9 extend through the first lifting platform 2 and into the receiving tank 3. The output ends of the four electric cylinders 9 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the second lifting platform 4. Specifically, a vent 10 is provided on the bottom surface of the receiving tank 3 to provide a pressure relief channel for the second lifting platform 4 to move within the receiving tank 3.

[0054] Side baffles 30 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the inner wall of the mounting groove 101 .

[0055] It should be understood that when removing the battery pack main body 32, the battery swap body 1 is moved to the bottom of the car chassis, and then moved close to the car chassis by the first lifting platform 2. Then, the second lifting platform 4 is moved to support the bottom of the battery pack main body 32 to support the battery pack main body 32. Then, after the battery pack main body 32 is removed from the car chassis, the height is lowered by the second lifting platform 4, and the battery pack main body 32 is taken to the top of the elastic telescopic platform 5. The second lifting platform 4 is finally lowered into the accommodating slot 3 to realize the removal of the battery pack main body 32. When installing the battery pack main body 32, the battery pack main body 32 supported on the elastic telescopic platform 5 is lifted to the vicinity of the new energy vehicle chassis by the first lifting platform 2, and then the battery pack main body 32 is lifted and attached to the new energy vehicle chassis by the second lifting platform 4. Then, the battery pack main body 32 is fixed to the new energy vehicle chassis. It is supported by the second lifting platform 4 to reduce the obstruction of the bottom of the battery pack main body 32 and provide space for disassembly and assembly;

[0056] During the process of the battery swap body 1 receiving the battery pack body 32, after the second lifting platform 4 receives the removed battery pack body 32 onto the elastic telescopic platform 5, the battery pack body 32 is flexibly supported by the elastic telescopic platform 5, and a space is formed between the elastic telescopic platform 5 and the second lifting platform 4, so that the edge of the battery pack body 32 is supported, reducing the impact on the battery cells inside the battery pack body 32. Then, in the process of the two pairs of moving platforms 6 approaching each other, the two clamping limit assemblies will be driven to press the top of the battery pack body 32 while overlapping with the edge of the elastic telescopic platform 5, so that the battery pack body 32 is restricted on the elastic telescopic platform 5. When vibration occurs, the electric elastic telescopic platform 5 converts the vibration kinetic energy into elastic potential energy through elastic deformation, reducing the transfer of energy to the battery pack body 32, which is beneficial to avoid the inertial impact caused by bumps, which may cause stress concentration on the contact surface, resulting in surface indentation or structural damage.

[0057] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the mobile station 6 is provided with a driving component, which includes:

[0058] Two tracks, two tracks are arranged on both sides of the first lifting platform 2, the tracks include two fixed slide rails 11, two racks and a first motor 17, the two fixed slide rails 11 are fixedly connected to the top of the battery swap body 1, and are symmetrically arranged with the first lifting platform 2 as a reference, a track groove 12 is opened between the fixed slide rails 11 and the side of the first lifting platform 2, the track groove 12 includes a movable section 1201 and a fixed section 1202, the fixed section 1202 is opened on the fixed slide rail 11, and the movable section 1201 is opened on the side of the first lifting platform 2;

[0059] A sliding seat 13 is slidingly provided in the track groove 12, and the sliding seat 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the moving platform 6. A driving gear 14 is rotatably connected to the sliding seat 13. The two racks are respectively fixedly connected to the top of the inner walls of the two track grooves 12, and the two racks are respectively engaged with the driving gear 14 below. The rack includes a fixed rack 15 and a movable rack 16. The fixed rack 15 is fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the fixed section 1202 of the track groove 12, and the movable rack 16 is fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the movable section 1201 of the track groove 12. The first motor 17 is fixedly installed on the moving platform 6, and the output end of the first motor 17 is coaxially fixedly connected to the driving gear 14.

[0060] It should be understood that, under the premise that the first lifting platform 2 needs to be height-adjusted to receive or lift the battery pack body 32 for installation, the first motor 17 can be used to drive the driving gear 14 to rotate, and the driving gear 14 moves on the rack, thereby causing the movable platform 6 to move to the fixed rack 15, and the sliding seat 13 to move to the fixed section 1202 of the track groove 12, and the sliding seat 13 drives the clamping limit assembly to leave the first lifting platform 2, so that the top of the first lifting platform 2 maintains an open space when the battery pack body 32 is detached or carried.

[0061] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the fixed section 1202 and the movable section 1201 of the track groove 12 each include a first limiting groove 1203 and a second limiting groove 1204. The second limiting groove 1204 is located at the inner top of the first limiting groove 1203. The sliding seat 13 is slidably connected within the first limiting groove 1203. The driving gear 14 is rollingly connected within the second limiting groove 1204. The rack is fixedly mounted on the inner top surface of the second limiting groove 1204. It should be understood that through the connection between the first limiting groove 1203 and the sliding seat 13 and the movement of the driving gear 14 within the second limiting groove 1204, the sliding seat 13 is restricted within the track groove 12, preventing the sliding seat 13 from disengaging, thereby achieving stable support for the moving platform 6 and the clamping and limiting assembly.

[0062] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, in one embodiment, the clamping limit assembly includes a socket 18 and a lap groove 24, two support rods 19 are slidably plugged into the socket 18, the socket 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable platform 6, the tops of the two support rods 19 are fixedly connected to a lower pressure seat 21, and a first spring 20 is sleeved on the surface of the two support rods 19, and the two ends of the first spring 20 are respectively fixedly connected to the lower pressure seat 21 and the socket 18, and the top of the lower pressure seat 21 is rotatably connected to a first rubber roller 22, and the lap groove 24 is opened at the top edge of the elastic telescopic platform 5, and a plug-in body 23 is fixedly installed on the lower pressure seat 21, and the plug-in body 23 is slidably docked with the lap groove 24. It should be understood that after the battery pack body 32 is received by the second lifting platform 4 and placed on the elastic telescopic platform 5, the battery pack body 32 is lowered to the position on the top of the battery swap body 1 by the first lifting platform 2, and then the plug-in seat 18 is driven to move by the moving platform 6, and the plug-in seat 18 simultaneously drives the lower pressure seat 21 to move until the first rubber roller 22 rolls down to the top of the battery pack body 32, thereby limiting the top of the battery pack body 32, and the plug-in body 23 docks with the upper overlapping groove 24, so that the distance between the top of the elastic telescopic platform 5 and the first rubber roller 22 is limited, so that the battery pack body 32 is limited between the elastic telescopic platform 5 and the first rubber roller 22. On the one hand, it prevents the battery pack body 32 from detaching from the top of the first lifting platform 2, thereby limiting the battery pack body 32 and preventing it from slipping. On the other hand, during vibration, the deformation of the first spring 20 and the elastic telescopic platform 5 converts the vibration kinetic energy into elastic potential energy through elastic deformation, thereby reducing the transfer of energy to the battery pack body 32.

[0063] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, a connecting shaft 25 is rotatably connected to the top surface of the socket 18, and a second rubber roller 26 is sleeved on the surface of the connecting shaft 25. It should be understood that as the two movable platforms 6 in the same pair approach each other, the connecting shaft 25 on the socket 18 synchronously drives the second rubber rollers 26 to move until the two second rubber rollers 26 clamp and limit the two ends of the fixed body 3201 on the side of the battery pack body 32, completing the lateral limit of the battery pack body 32, so that the battery pack body 32 and the top of the elastic telescopic platform 5 are relatively stable. In addition, through the support and limit of the first rubber roller 22, the second rubber roller 26 and the elastic telescopic platform 5, the limit contact points are all elastic contacts, which helps to avoid rigid damage to the surface of the battery pack body 32 caused by rigid contact.

[0064] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 11As shown, in one embodiment, a sleeve groove 27 is formed through the end of the second rubber roller 26. A damping ring 28 is fixedly connected to the sleeve groove 27. The damping ring 28 is sleeved on the surface of the connecting shaft 25, and the inner ring surface of the damping ring 28 is in frictional contact with the surface of the connecting shaft 25. It should be understood that when the battery pack body 32 vibrates, the elastic telescopic platform 5, the battery pack body 32, and the first rubber roller 22 as a whole will rock up and down. The damping ring 28 will generate frictional damping with the surface of the connecting shaft 25, converting the mechanical vibration energy into heat energy and dissipating it. This ensures that the second rubber roller 26 clamps and limits the fixed body 3201 of the battery pack body 32, while also achieving mechanical vibration damping.

[0065] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, ventilation channels 29 are opened between both ends of the second lifting platform 4 and the first lifting platform 2. The ventilation channels 29 include a first channel 2901 and a second channel 2902. The first channel 2901 passes through from the end of the second lifting platform 4 to the top of the second lifting platform 4, and the second channel 2902 passes through from the end of the first lifting platform 2 to the accommodating groove 3, and the second channel 2902 is connected to the first channel 2901. It should be understood that after the first lifting platform 2 moves into the accommodating groove 3, the second channel 2902 and the first channel 2901 will be connected and connected. When the elastic telescopic platform 5 is extended or retracted, the space formed between the battery pack main body 32 and the accommodating groove 3 and the second lifting platform 4 will change. Then, under the action of atmospheric pressure, when the space formed between the battery pack main body 32 and the elastic telescopic platform 5 and the second lifting platform 4 becomes larger, the external air will pass through the second channel 2902 and the first channel 2901 in sequence under the action of atmospheric pressure and enter the space formed between the battery pack main body 32 and the accommodating groove 3 and the second lifting platform 4. When the space formed between the battery pack main body 32 and the elastic telescopic platform 5 and the second lifting platform 4 becomes smaller, the gas in the space formed between the battery pack main body 32 and the elastic telescopic platform 5 and the second lifting platform 4 will pass through the first channel 2901 and the second channel 2902 and be discharged. On the one hand, the circulation of gas in the ventilation channel 29 will generate friction resistance, which has a damping effect on vibration. On the other hand, by replacing the gas in the space at the bottom of the battery pack main body 32, it is beneficial to dissipate heat from the bottom of the battery pack main body 32.

[0066] like Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, in one embodiment, the elastic telescopic platform 5 includes a fixed ring 501 and a movable ring 502. The movable ring 502 is slidably inserted into the fixed ring 501. A buffer spring 503 is fixedly connected between the bottom of the movable ring 502 and the top of the first lifting platform 2. The overlapping groove 24 is opened at the edge of the movable ring 502.

[0067] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0068] The above-described embodiments merely illustrate several embodiments of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
