Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of new energy vehicle technology, specifically to a replaceable battery compartment for new energy vehicle trailers. Background Technology

[0002] With the popularization of new energy vehicles, range anxiety has become a core pain point for users, especially in long-distance travel or outdoor scenarios, where the problem of insufficient charging infrastructure coverage is prominent. Traditional external backup batteries are mostly portable or fixed installation type, which have problems such as inconvenience in carrying and complicated docking, and are also heavy and difficult for a single person to operate.

[0003] In existing replaceable battery solutions, the batteries lack effective sealing protection and are susceptible to corrosion from rain and dust, posing safety hazards. During the charging process, the charging port is exposed to direct sunlight or rain and snow, which not only affects charging efficiency but may also shorten the life of the equipment.

[0004] In addition, when a vehicle is towing an external battery, road bumps can cause the battery to vibrate violently, damaging internal components and reducing battery life. At the same time, traditional battery compartments lack real-time status monitoring functions, making it difficult for users to keep track of the battery status and further increasing the risk of use. Therefore, there is a need for an external battery solution that takes into account portability, safety and adaptability. Summary of the Invention

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a replaceable battery compartment for new energy vehicles, solving several core problems associated with external batteries in new energy vehicles. Firstly, traditional external batteries are inconvenient to carry; the towable design with wheels makes docking and movement more convenient, easily solving the carrying problem. Secondly, the low charging efficiency is addressed by the replaceable battery design, which simplifies loading and unloading, significantly shortens charging time, and effectively alleviates range anxiety. Thirdly, safety hazards are mitigated by the multi-layered sealing structure and status monitoring function, enhancing safety protection and reducing usage risks. Fourthly, battery damage is addressed by the shock absorption mechanism, which uses springs and hydraulic rods to buffer bumps, protecting the battery and extending its lifespan. Fifthly, poor adaptability to charging environments is addressed by the sunshade mechanism, which expands the area and locks easily, enhancing adaptability to different charging environments, improving the user experience, and providing reliable energy security for outdoor travel.

[0050] Working Principle: This new energy vehicle towable replaceable battery compartment focuses on towing portability, battery 11 replacement, and safety protection. Its functions are achieved through the coordinated operation of various mechanisms. The entire unit serves as an external replaceable battery 11 supplementary device, connected to the rear hook of the vehicle via the towing connector 6 at the right end of the second fixing component 5. The large wheel 3 on the left side of the bottom of the battery compartment 1 bears the main load, while the small wheel 19 at the bottom of the second fixing component 5 assists in steering and shock absorption, ensuring smooth movement during towing. The battery 11 is stored in the storage area 10 on the right side of the front of the battery compartment 1. The cover 12 opens to the right; when closed, the outer first sealing ring 13 fits tightly against the inner wall of the storage area 10, achieving a waterproof and dustproof seal. Opening the cover 12 allows for quick access to and from the battery 11 without complex disassembly. The status display screen 2 shows real-time information such as battery power and temperature, allowing users to easily monitor the battery's status.

[0051] During charging, the charger 9 inside the charging port 7 can be connected to an external power source to charge the battery 11 in the storage compartment 10. The sunshade 8 hinged at the front end of the charging port 7 can be opened upwards to block sunlight and rain. The sliding plate 22 inside can slide outwards along the first sliding groove 23. It is guided by the second guide rod 25 and reset by the second spring 24 to expand the sunshade area. When the sunshade 8 is closed and the sliding plate 22 is reset, the second sealing ring 14 on the outside of the sliding plate 22 fits tightly against the inner wall of the charging port 7 to strengthen the seal. The locking and unfolding of the sliding plate 22 is achieved by a limiting mechanism. The third spring 27 in the second sliding groove 26 at the bottom pushes the second slider 28 and the limiting member 29 downwards. A limiting hole 30 is provided at the bottom of the sunshade 8. When the sunshade 8 is closed, the lower end of the limiting member 29 passes through the second sliding groove 26 and is inserted into the limiting hole 30 to lock the sliding plate 22.

[0052] When the skateboard 22 needs to be unfolded, press the limiting member 29 into the sunshade 8. The second slider 28 compresses the third spring 27 and slides upward along the second slide groove 26, causing the limiting member 29 to disengage from the limiting hole 30, thereby unfolding the skateboard 22. When towing, the shock absorption protection mechanism plays a role. The support slide rail 15 at the bottom of the second fixing member 5 provides a vertical sliding track for the first slider 16. The first guide rod 20 restricts its sliding direction. The first spring 21 on the outside of the first guide rod 20 is always in a compressed state. When the road bumps cause the small wheel 19 to vibrate upward, the first slider 16 slides upward along the support slide rail 15 to compress the first spring 21. The elastic potential energy of the first spring 21 absorbs part of the vibration energy. At the same time, the upper end of the hydraulic rod 17 is hinged to the bottom of the second fixing member 5 and the lower end is fixed to the connecting rod 18. It extends and retracts with the first slider 16. The hydraulic oil damping effect slows down the vibration speed and avoids secondary vibration caused by the rebound of the first spring 21. The combination of the buffer of the first spring 21 and the damping of the hydraulic rod 17 ensures the stability of the battery 11.

[0053] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
