Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power supply technology for new energy construction equipment, and in particular to a photovoltaic-storage-charging-swapping station for construction machinery. Background Technology

[0002] New energy construction equipment has been widely used in road construction, municipal engineering, and power construction in plateau regions. This equipment typically uses modular energy storage structures as its power source, offering significant advantages over traditional fuel-powered equipment, including zero emissions, adaptability to high-altitude, low-oxygen environments, and low maintenance costs. However, the harsh construction environment in plateau regions increases energy consumption of modular energy storage structures under low temperature and low pressure conditions, requiring more frequent replacement or charging. Therefore, constructing safe and reliable charging and swapping infrastructure in plateau regions has become a key technical challenge for the promotion and application of new energy construction equipment.

[0003] Currently, charging and battery swapping stations for new energy construction equipment mainly use hoisting methods for battery replacement. In high-altitude construction environments, this hoisting battery swapping method faces even more severe technical challenges: First, the high altitude, low air pressure, and insufficient oxygen content in high-altitude areas significantly reduce the power performance of lifting equipment, weakening hoisting capacity and drastically reducing operational efficiency; second, the strong and variable winds in high-altitude areas cause the modular energy storage structure to sway greatly in the air during hoisting, making it extremely prone to collision accidents and drastically increasing safety risks. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to propose a photovoltaic-storage-charging-swapping station for construction machinery, which aims to avoid the risks of high-altitude operations, reduce dependence on environmental conditions, and realize the rapid, safe, and reliable replacement and charging of modular energy storage structures for new energy construction equipment in plateau regions.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a photovoltaic-storage-charging-swapping station for construction machinery, wherein the construction machinery is new energy construction equipment, the power supply end of the new energy construction equipment is detachably connected to the ground power of the modular energy storage structure, and the photovoltaic-storage-charging-swapping station for construction machinery includes: A charging shed is provided, which is framed to form a parking area and a charging / swapping area, which are spaced apart along the X direction; the new energy construction equipment extends along the Y direction and is installed within the parking area; The solar photovoltaic panels are installed on the top of the charging shed; A charging and swapping mechanism extends along the X direction and is disposed within the charging and swapping interval; The adjustment mechanism is disposed within the charging and swapping zone, extends along the Y direction, and its free end is connected to the charging and swapping mechanism. The adjustment mechanism is used to drive the charging and swapping mechanism to move along the Y direction so that the charging and swapping mechanism is aligned with the new energy construction equipment. The charging and swapping mechanism can rise to the receiving position or descend to the discharging position. It can also extend horizontally to an extended position or retract to its initial position. When the charging and swapping mechanism is positioned at the receiving position and in the initial position, it extends to the extended position and connects with the modular energy storage structure before retracting, thereby causing the modular energy storage structure to slide to the initial position and charge, and then descend to the discharging position. Alternatively, when the charging and swapping mechanism is positioned at the discharging position and in the initial position, it connects with the modular energy storage structure, extends to the extended position, and resets to the initial position, thereby causing the modular energy storage structure to slide to the extended position and connect electrically to the power supply end of the new energy construction equipment.

[0006] In one embodiment, the adjustment mechanism includes a support base, a guide rail, and a drive assembly. The support base, the guide rail, and the drive assembly are all disposed within the charging / swapping interval. The guide rail and the drive assembly extend along the Y direction, and the support base extends along the X direction. The support base is slidably disposed on the guide rail. The charging / swapping mechanism is disposed on the support base. The free end of the drive assembly is connected to the support base. The drive assembly is used to drive the support base to move the charging / swapping mechanism along the Y direction on the guide rail, so that the charging / swapping mechanism aligns with the modular energy storage structure on the new energy construction equipment.

[0007] In one embodiment, the drive assembly includes a screw, a limiting seat, and a displacement drive member. The screw extends along the Y direction, passes through the bearing seat, and is threadedly connected to the bearing seat. The limiting seat and the displacement drive member are respectively disposed at both ends of the screw along its extension direction. The limiting seat is rotatably connected to one end of the screw, and the displacement drive member is connected to the other end of the screw. The displacement drive member is used to drive the screw to rotate, thereby causing the bearing seat and the charging / swapping mechanism to slide along the Y direction on the guide rail, so that the charging / swapping mechanism is aligned with the modular energy storage structure on the new energy construction equipment.

[0008] In one embodiment, the charging and swapping mechanism includes a bracket, a support plate, a column, a multi-section telescopic rod, a first lifting drive component, a charging base, and a connecting structure. The bracket extends along the X direction and includes a receiving section and a discharging section, with the receiving section spaced above the discharging section. The support plate extends in the same direction as the bracket and is spaced on one side of the bracket. The column extends vertically, and both the column and the charging base are connected to the end of the support plate away from the bracket. The connecting end of the multi-section telescopic rod is connected to the top of the column. The free end of the multi-section telescopic rod is connected to the connecting structure. The free end of the multi-section telescopic rod can extend along the X direction to the extended position or retract to the initial position. The connecting structure can descend to the abutment position or rise to the release position. The free end of the first lifting drive is connected to the bearing plate. The first lifting drive is used to drive the bearing plate, the column, the multi-section telescopic rod, and the connecting structure to rise to the receiving position or descend to the discharge position. When the bearing plate is set in the receiving position and the free end of the multi-section telescopic rod is in the initial position... In the initial position, the free end of the multi-section telescopic rod is extended to the extended position to move the connecting structure to the side of the modular energy storage structure away from the support. The connecting structure descends to the abutting position and abuts against the modular energy storage structure. The free end of the multi-section telescopic rod retracts to the initial position, so that the modular energy storage structure is pulled along the support through the receiving section to the initial position and detachably connected to the charging base, charging the modular energy storage structure. Then, the first lifting drive component drives the modular energy storage structure... The structure descends to the discharge position, and the connecting structure rises to the release position; or, when the bearing plate is positioned at the discharge position and the free end of the multi-section telescopic rod is in the initial position, the connecting structure descends to the abutment position and abuts against the side of the modular energy storage structure away from the support. The free end of the multi-section telescopic rod is used to extend to the extension position and return to the initial position, so as to push the modular energy storage structure along the support through the discharge section to the extension position and electrically connect it to the power supply end of the new energy construction equipment.

[0009] In one embodiment, the connection structure includes a mounting plate, a second lifting drive component, and a connecting piece. The mounting plate is mounted on the free end of the multi-section telescopic rod, the connecting piece extends vertically, the connecting end of the second lifting drive component is mounted on the mounting plate, the free end of the second lifting drive component is connected to the connecting piece, and the second lifting drive component is used to drive the connecting piece to descend to the abutment position or rise to the release position.

[0010] In one embodiment, the charging base has a charging port on the side facing the bracket, the modular energy storage structure is detachably plugged into the charging port in the horizontal direction, and the charging port is electrically connected to the modular energy storage structure.

[0011] In one embodiment, the modular energy storage structure includes a frame and an energy storage structure. The frame is disposed outside the energy storage structure. The extension directions of both the frame and the energy storage structure are consistent with the extension direction of the support. The frame is disposed outside the energy storage structure. Both ends of the energy storage structure along its extension direction are provided with plugs. One of the plugs is used to electrically connect to the power supply end of the new energy construction equipment, and the other plug is used to electrically connect to the charging base.

[0012] In one embodiment, the support includes a bottom track, a top track, and multiple uprights. The multiple uprights are arranged in a rectangular interval along the horizontal direction. Both the top track and the bottom track extend horizontally and are located on one side of the new energy construction equipment. The top track is spaced above the bottom track, and the end of the top track facing away from the new energy construction equipment is hinged to the upright. The top track is inclined downward from the upright towards the new energy construction equipment. The top track forms the receiving section, and the bottom track forms the discharge section. The bottom end of the top track abuts against the bottom track. When the charging and swapping mechanism is located at the discharge position and in the initial position, the charging and swapping mechanism is used to connect with the modular energy storage structure, extend to the extended position, and then return to the initial position. This causes the top track to be abutted by the top end of the charging and swapping mechanism and rotate upward, thereby driving the modular energy storage structure to slide along the support through the discharge section to the extended position and electrically connect with the power supply end of the new energy construction equipment. A buffer pad is provided at the end of the top track that abuts against the bottom track.

[0013] In one embodiment, the bottom of the frame is provided with a slider that is adapted to the top rail or the bottom rail, and the slider is slidably connected to the top rail or the bottom rail.

[0014] In one embodiment, the new energy construction equipment includes a frame, a support platform, and a socket. The extension direction of the support platform is consistent with the extension direction of the adjustment mechanism. The support platform is installed on the frame. The socket is installed on the end of the support platform away from the adjustment mechanism. The socket forms the power supply end of the new energy construction equipment. The modular energy storage structure is detachably plugged into the socket in the horizontal direction and electrically connected to the socket.

[0015] The technical solution of this invention utilizes the dual lifting and horizontal extension capabilities of the charging and swapping mechanism, combined with a positioning mechanism, to enable the modular energy storage structure to achieve automated battery swapping via horizontal sliding. Since it avoids traditional hoisting operations and high-altitude work, it effectively avoids the adverse effects of strong winds and air pressure changes in high-altitude areas on the battery swapping process, maintaining the stability and safety of the battery swapping system in harsh environments. Furthermore, it simplifies the battery swapping operation process and reduces the technical and physical requirements for operators. In addition, the modular energy storage structure can complete battery swapping via a fixed horizontal sliding track, reducing equipment investment costs and maintenance complexity.

[0023] Currently, charging and battery swapping stations for new energy construction equipment mainly use hoisting methods for battery replacement. In high-altitude construction environments, this hoisting battery swapping method faces even more severe technical challenges: First, the high altitude, low air pressure, and insufficient oxygen content in high-altitude areas significantly reduce the power performance of lifting equipment, weakening hoisting capacity and drastically reducing operational efficiency; second, the strong and variable winds in high-altitude areas cause the modular energy storage structure to sway greatly in the air during hoisting, making it extremely prone to collision accidents and drastically increasing safety risks.

[0024] To address this technical problem, this invention proposes a photovoltaic storage, charging, and swapping station for construction machinery.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the construction machinery is a new energy construction equipment 10. The power supply end of the new energy construction equipment 10 is detachably connected to the modular energy storage structure 20. The photovoltaic-energy storage-charging station for the construction machinery includes a charging shed 100, solar photovoltaic panels, a charging and swapping mechanism 200, and a positioning mechanism 300. The charging shed 100 is framed to form a parking area 101 and a charging and swapping area 102, which are spaced apart along the X direction. The new energy construction equipment 10 extends along the Y direction. The power generation construction equipment 10 is installed within the parking area 101; the top of the charging shed 100 is covered with solar photovoltaic panels; the charging and swapping mechanism 200 extends along the X direction and is located within the charging and swapping area 102; the positioning mechanism 300 is located within the charging and swapping area 102, extends along the Y direction, and its free end is connected to the charging and swapping mechanism 200. The positioning mechanism 300 is used to drive the charging and swapping mechanism 200 to move along the Y direction so that the charging and swapping mechanism 200 is aligned with the new energy construction equipment 10. Equipment 10; wherein, the charging and swapping mechanism 200 can rise to the receiving position 2501 or fall to the discharging position 2502, and the charging and swapping mechanism 200 can also extend horizontally to the extended position 2401 or retract to the initial position 2402; when the charging and swapping mechanism 200 is set in the receiving position 2501 and in the initial position 2402, the charging and swapping mechanism 200 is used to extend to the extended position and connect with the modular energy storage structure 20 and then retract, so as to drive the modular energy storage structure 20 to slide to the initial position 2402 and... The modular energy storage structure 20 is charged and then lowered to the discharge position 2502; or, when the charging and swapping mechanism 200 is set at the discharge position 2502 and is in the initial position 2402, the charging and swapping mechanism 200 is used to connect with the modular energy storage structure 20, extend to the extended position 2401 and reset to the initial position 2402, so as to drive the modular energy storage structure 20 to slide to the extended position 2401 and be electrically connected to the power supply end of the new energy construction equipment 10, and the solar photovoltaic panel is used to supply power to the charging and swapping mechanism 200.

[0026] It should be understood that the construction machinery is new energy construction equipment 10, specifically, it can be electric excavators, electric loaders, or electric road rollers, etc. The power supply end of the new energy construction equipment 10 is equipped with a socket 13 structure, and the modular energy storage structure 20 is equipped with a plug 24 adapted to the socket 13 structure. The modular energy storage structure 20 and the power supply end of the new energy construction equipment 10 can be detachably connected via the plug 24 and the socket 13. The charging shed 100 is a frame structure, forming a parking area 101 and a charging / swapping area 102. The parking area 101 is used to park the new energy construction equipment 10, and the charging / swapping area 102 is used to install charging / swapping related equipment. The parking area 101 and the charging / swapping area 102 are spaced apart along the X-direction, meaning the two areas are horizontally separated. The new energy construction equipment 10 extends along the Y-direction, meaning the length direction of the new energy construction equipment 10 is the Y-direction. The new energy construction equipment 10 is located within the parking area 101, with its modular energy storage structure 20 facing the charging / swapping area 102. Solar photovoltaic panels are installed on the top of the charging shed 100 to convert solar energy into electrical energy, providing green power for the charging and swapping system. A charging and swapping mechanism 200 extends along the X-direction and is located within the charging and swapping zone 102, used to perform charging and swapping operations on the modular energy storage structure 20. A positioning mechanism 300 is located within the charging and swapping zone 102 and extends along the Y-direction. The free end of the positioning mechanism 300 is connected to the charging and swapping mechanism 200, and the positioning mechanism 300 is used to drive the charging and swapping mechanism 200 to move along the Y-direction, so that the charging and swapping mechanism 200 aligns with the modular energy storage structure 20 on the new energy construction equipment 10.

[0027] Specifically, the photovoltaic-energy storage-charging-swapping station for construction machinery in this application uses a charging shed 100 to separately frame a parking area 101 and a charging / swapping area 102. The parking area 101 and charging / swapping area 102 are spaced apart along the X-direction. The new energy construction equipment 10 is located within the parking area 101 and extends along the Y-direction, while the charging / swapping mechanism 200 is located within the charging / swapping area 102 and extends along the X-direction. This layout allows the new energy construction equipment 10 and the charging / swapping mechanism 200 to be arranged perpendicularly to each other in space, providing a suitable geometric relationship for subsequent horizontal battery swapping operations. Solar photovoltaic panels are laid on the top of the charging shed 100, realizing the integrated function of solar power generation and charging / swapping, improving the system's energy utilization efficiency. The positioning mechanism 300 extends along the Y-direction and drives the charging / swapping mechanism 200 to move along the Y-direction, adjusting the position of the charging / swapping mechanism 200 to accurately align it with the modular energy storage structure 20 on different models or parking locations of the new energy construction equipment 10, improving the system's adaptability and versatility.

[0028] More specifically, the charging and swapping mechanism 200 has dual movement capabilities of lifting and lowering, and horizontal extension and retraction. It can rise to the receiving position 2501 or descend to the discharging position 2502, and can also extend horizontally to the extended position 2401 or retract to the initial position 2402. When the charging and swapping mechanism 200 is set in the receiving position 2501 and in the initial position 2402, the charging and swapping mechanism 200 performs a battery retrieval operation: first, it extends to the extended position, moving its telescopic end to the outside of the modular energy storage structure 20; then it connects with the modular energy storage structure 20, establishing a mechanical connection; next, it retracts to the initial position 2402, and through the mechanical connection, it drives the modular energy storage structure 20 to slide horizontally to the initial position 2402. At this time, the modular energy storage structure 20 connects with the charging base 260 and begins charging; after charging is completed, the charging and swapping mechanism 200 drives the modular energy storage structure 20 to descend to the discharging position 2502, completing the storage of the charged battery. When the charging and swapping mechanism 200 is set in the discharge position 2502 and in the initial position 2402, the charging and swapping mechanism 200 performs a battery installation operation: first, it connects to the fully charged modular energy storage structure 20 located in the discharge position 2502; then, it extends to the extension position 2401 and pushes the modular energy storage structure 20 to slide horizontally to the extension position 2401 through a mechanical connection; finally, it resets to the initial position 2402, so that the modular energy storage structure 20 is electrically connected to the power supply end of the new energy construction equipment 10, and the battery swapping operation is completed.

[0029] This application's photovoltaic-storage charging and swapping station adopts a horizontal sliding battery swapping method, completely abandoning the traditional hoisting method and effectively solving technical problems in high-altitude construction environments. The charging and swapping mechanism 200, through a combination of lifting and horizontal extension movements, enables the modular energy storage structure 20 to slide and swap batteries in a horizontal plane, avoiding high-altitude hoisting operations and eliminating the adverse effects of strong winds on hoisting operations in high-altitude areas, significantly improving the safety of battery swapping operations. Horizontal sliding battery swapping does not rely on the power performance of lifting equipment and is unaffected by environmental factors such as low air pressure and insufficient oxygen content in high-altitude areas, ensuring reliable operation of the battery swapping system in high-altitude environments. The positioning mechanism 300 can adjust the position of the charging and swapping mechanism 200, ensuring accurate alignment between the charging and swapping mechanism 200 and the modular energy storage structure 20, improving the accuracy and efficiency of battery swapping. The entire battery swapping process is completed through the automated movement of the mechanical structure, reducing manual intervention and lowering the labor intensity and safety risks for operators in the low-oxygen environment of high altitudes.

[0030] As an optional implementation, the charging and swapping mechanism 200 may also include multiple sets of parallel telescopic units, each set of telescopic units corresponding to a modular energy storage structure 20, enabling simultaneous battery swapping of multiple modular energy storage structures 20 and further improving battery swapping efficiency. The positioning mechanism 300 may also include multiple independent positioning units, each corresponding to a different charging and swapping mechanism 200, enabling simultaneous operation at multiple workstations and meeting the simultaneous charging and swapping needs of multiple new energy construction equipment 10.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 In an embodiment of the present invention, the adjustment mechanism 300 includes a support 310, a guide rail 320, and a drive component 330. The support 310, guide rail 320, and drive component 330 are all disposed within the charging / swapping interval 102. The guide rail 320 and drive component 330 extend along the Y direction, and the support 310 extends along the X direction. The support 310 is slidably disposed on the guide rail 320. The charging / swapping mechanism 200 is disposed on the support 310. The free end of the drive component 330 is connected to the support 310. The drive component 330 is used to drive the support 310 to drive the charging / swapping mechanism 200 to slide along the Y direction on the guide rail 320, so that the charging / swapping mechanism 200 is aligned with the modular energy storage structure 20 on the new energy construction equipment 10.

[0032] Specifically, the charging and swapping mechanism 200 is located within the charging and swapping zone 102 and extends along the X direction, while the new energy construction equipment 10 is located within the parking zone 101 and extends along the Y direction. The support seat 310 is mounted on the guide rail 320 and can slide on it. The charging and swapping mechanism 200 is fixedly mounted on the support seat 310, and its position is adjusted by the sliding movement of the support seat 310. The guide rail 320 extends along the Y direction, providing sliding guidance for the support seat 310 and ensuring accurate movement of the support seat 310 and the charging and swapping mechanism 200 along the Y direction. The drive component 330 also extends along the Y direction, with its free end connected to the support seat 310. Through the driving action of the drive component 330, the support seat 310 can drive the charging and swapping mechanism 200 to slide along the Y direction on the guide rail 320, thereby achieving alignment between the charging and swapping mechanism 200 and the modular energy storage structure 20 on the new energy construction equipment 10.

[0033] The positioning mechanism 300 of this application, through the coordinated operation of the support base 310, guide rail 320, and drive component 330, achieves the positioning adjustment of the charging and swapping mechanism 200 along the Y direction, effectively solving the technical problem of positional differences of the modular energy storage structure 20 under different models of new energy construction equipment 10 or different parking positions. The support base 310 extends along the X direction, maintaining consistency with the charging and swapping mechanism 200 extending along the X direction, ensuring stable installation and reliable support of the charging and swapping mechanism 200 on the support base 310. The guide rail 320 extends along the Y direction, providing an accurate sliding guide path for the support base 310, avoiding swaying or jamming of the support base 310 during movement, and improving positioning accuracy. The drive component 330 extends along the Y direction and connects to the support base 310, realizing the controllable movement of the support base 310 through the transmission of driving force, enabling the charging and swapping mechanism 200 to be adjusted to a suitable Y-direction position according to actual needs, ensuring accurate alignment with the modular energy storage structure 20. The 300 positioning mechanism has a simple and reliable structure, is easy to maintain, and is particularly suitable for long-term stable operation in harsh environments such as high altitudes. Compared with the complex lifting and positioning system in traditional hoisting and power swapping methods, it has higher reliability and adaptability.

[0034] As an optional implementation, the guide rail 320 can be a double guide rail 320 structure, with two guide rails 320 arranged in parallel and extending along the Y direction. The support seat 310 is straddling the two guide rails 320 and is slidably connected to the guide rails 320 via a slider 23 or a roller, further improving the sliding stability and load-bearing capacity of the support seat 310. The drive assembly 330 can be located in the middle or on one side of the two guide rails 320, driving the support seat 310 to move via gear and rack transmission, chain transmission, or screw and nut transmission, thereby realizing the adjustment of the charging and swapping mechanism 200.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 In an embodiment of the present invention, the drive assembly 330 includes a screw 331, a limiting seat 332, and a displacement drive member. The screw 331 extends along the Y direction and passes through the bearing seat 310 and is threadedly connected to the bearing seat 310. The limiting seat 332 and the displacement drive member are respectively disposed at both ends of the screw 331 along its extension direction. The limiting seat 332 is rotatably connected to one end of the screw 331, and the displacement drive member is connected to the other end of the screw 331. The displacement drive member is used to drive the screw 331 to rotate, so as to drive the bearing seat 310 and the charging and swapping mechanism 200 to slide along the Y direction on the guide rail 320, so that the charging and swapping mechanism 200 is aligned with the modular energy storage structure 20 on the new energy construction equipment 10.

[0036] Specifically, the adjustment mechanism 300 is located within the charging / swapping interval 102, the support seat 310 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 320, and the charging / swapping mechanism 200 is mounted on the support seat 310. The screw 331, as the core transmission component of the drive assembly 330, extends along the Y direction and passes through the support seat 310. The screw 331 and the support seat 310 are connected by threads to form a screw 331-nut transmission pair. When the screw 331 rotates, the support seat 310 moves along the thread direction of the screw 331. A limiting seat 332 is located at one end of the screw 331 and is rotatably connected to it. The limiting seat 332 provides support and limits, preventing axial movement of the screw 331 during rotation and ensuring the rotational accuracy and stability of the screw 331. A displacement drive is located at the other end of the screw 331 and connected to the screw 331. The displacement drive can be a power device such as a motor, hydraulic cylinder or pneumatic cylinder. The screw 331 rotates around its axis through the driving action of the displacement drive. The rotation of the screw 331 is converted into linear movement of the bearing seat 310 through thread transmission, thereby driving the charging and swapping mechanism 200 installed on the bearing seat 310 to slide along the Y direction on the guide rail 320, so as to realize the alignment of the charging and swapping mechanism 200 with the modular energy storage structure 20 on the new energy construction equipment 10.

[0037] The drive assembly 330 of this application adopts a screw 331 and nut transmission structure. The linear movement of the carrier 310 is achieved through the rotation of the screw 331, offering advantages such as high transmission accuracy, precise positioning, and good self-locking performance, effectively solving the technical problem of adjusting the position of the charging / swapping mechanism 200. The screw 331 extends along the Y-direction, consistent with the extension direction of the guide rail 320, ensuring the accuracy of the carrier 310's movement direction and avoiding swaying during transmission. The threaded connection between the screw 331 and the carrier 310 forms a reliable transmission pair, with high transmission efficiency and low wear, suitable for long-term use in harsh environments such as high altitudes. The rotational connection between the limit seat 332 and the screw 331 ensures both the rotational freedom of the screw 331 and restricts its axial displacement, improving the stability and reliability of the transmission system. The displacement drive component, by controlling the rotational direction and angle of the screw 331, can control the moving distance and speed of the carrier 310, achieving precise positioning of the charging / swapping mechanism 200. Compared to the complex lifting and positioning system in traditional hoisting and power swapping methods, the screw 331 transmission structure of this application is simple, reliable, and easy to maintain. It is not affected by the decline in power performance in the low-oxygen environment of high altitude, ensuring the reliable realization of the adjustment function.

[0038] As an optional implementation, the displacement drive can be a stepper motor, which controls the angle of the screw 331 to achieve rotation, thereby adjusting the position of the bearing seat 310. The screw 331 can be a ball screw, which reduces transmission resistance and improves transmission efficiency and service life through the rolling friction of the balls. The limit seat 332 can be equipped with a bearing structure to further reduce the frictional resistance when the screw 331 rotates and improve the smoothness of transmission.

[0039] Please see Figure 1 And see Figure 3In an embodiment of the present invention, the charging and swapping mechanism 200 includes a bracket 210, a support plate 220, a column 230, a multi-section telescopic rod 240, a first lifting drive component 250, a charging base 260, and a connecting structure 270. The bracket 210 extends along the X direction and includes a receiving section and a discharging section, with the receiving section spaced above the discharging section. The extension direction of the support plate 220 is consistent with the extension direction of the bracket 210, and the support plate 220 is spaced on one side of the bracket 210. The column 230 extends vertically, and both the column 230 and the charging base 260 are connected to the end of the support plate 220 away from the bracket 210. The connecting end of the multi-section telescopic rod 240 is connected to... At the top of the column 230, the free end of the multi-section telescopic rod 240 is connected to the connecting structure 270. The free end of the multi-section telescopic rod 240 can extend along the X direction to the extended position 2401 or retract to the initial position 2402. The connecting structure 270 can descend to the abutment position 2701 or rise to the release position 2702. The free end of the first lifting drive member 250 is connected to the bearing plate 220. The first lifting drive member 250 is used to drive the bearing plate 220, column 230, multi-section telescopic rod 240 and connecting structure 270 to rise to the receiving position 2501 or descend to the discharge position 2502. When the bearing plate 220 is set in the receiving position 2501 and the multi-section telescopic rod 240 is extended... When the free end of the multi-section telescopic rod 240 is in the initial position 2402, the free end of the multi-section telescopic rod 240 is used to extend to the extended position so that the connecting structure 270 moves to the side of the modular energy storage structure 20 away from the bracket 210. The connecting structure 270 descends to the abutment position 2701 and abuts against the modular energy storage structure 20. The free end of the multi-section telescopic rod 240 retracts to the initial position 2402 so that the modular energy storage structure 20 is pulled along the bracket 210 through the receiving section to the initial position 2402 and detachably connected to the charging base 260 to charge the modular energy storage structure 20. Then, the first lifting drive component 250 drives the modular energy storage structure to move. The structure 20 descends to the discharge position 2502, and the connecting structure 270 rises to the release position 2702; or, when the bearing plate 220 is set at the discharge position 2502 and the free end of the multi-section telescopic rod 240 is in the initial position 2402, the connecting structure 270 descends to the abutment position 2701 and abuts against the side of the modular energy storage structure 20 away from the support 210. The free end of the multi-section telescopic rod 240 is used to extend to the extension position 2401 and reset to the initial position 2402, so as to push the modular energy storage structure 20 along the support 210 through the discharge section to the extension position 2401 and electrically connect it to the power supply end of the new energy construction equipment 10.

[0040] Specifically, the charging and swapping mechanism 200 is mounted on the support base 310, which is slidably mounted on the guide rail 320. The bracket 210, serving as the basic frame of the charging and swapping mechanism 200, extends along the X-direction. The receiving section receives the modular energy storage structure 20 removed from the new energy construction equipment 10, while the discharge section discharges the fully charged modular energy storage structure 20. The receiving section is spaced above the discharge section, forming a layered structure. The extending direction of the support plate 220 is consistent with that of the bracket 210, meaning it also extends along the X-direction. The support plate 220 is spaced along one side of the bracket 210, providing an installation base for the column 230 and the charging base 260. The column 230 extends vertically, and both the column 230 and the charging base 260 are connected to the end of the support plate 220 away from the bracket 210. The column 230 supports the multi-section telescopic rod 240, and the charging base 260 provides charging functionality for the modular energy storage structure 20. The connecting end of the multi-section telescopic rod 240 is connected to the top of the column 230, and the free end of the multi-section telescopic rod 240 is connected to the connecting structure 270. The multi-section telescopic rod 240 can extend or retract in the X direction, enabling the connecting structure 270 to move horizontally. The connecting structure 270 can descend to the abutment position 2701 or rise to the release position 2702 in the vertical direction, used to establish or disengage from the modular energy storage structure 20. The free end of the first lifting drive component 250 is connected to the bearing plate 220. Through the driving action of the first lifting drive component 250, the bearing plate 220 and the column 230, the multi-section telescopic rod 240, and the connecting structure 270 on it can move vertically up and down, realizing the switching between the receiving position 2501 and the discharging position 2502.

[0041] More specifically, when the support plate 220 is positioned at the receiving position 2501 and the free end of the multi-section telescopic rod 240 is in the initial position 2402, the charging and swapping mechanism 200 performs battery extraction and charging operations: First, the free end of the multi-section telescopic rod 240 extends to the extended position, causing the connecting structure 270 to move to the side of the modular energy storage structure 20 away from the support 210, i.e., to the outer end of the modular energy storage structure 20; then, the connecting structure 270 descends to the abutment position 2701 and abuts against the modular energy storage structure 20, establishing a mechanical connection. The connection is established; then, the free end of the multi-section telescopic rod 240 retracts to the initial position 2402, and the modular energy storage structure 20 is pulled along the support 210 through the receiving section to the initial position 2402 via the connecting structure 270. At this time, the modular energy storage structure 20 and the charging base 260 can be detachably connected and charging begins; after charging is completed, the first lifting drive component 250 drives the modular energy storage structure 20 to descend to the discharge position 2502, and the connecting structure 270 rises to the release position 2702, thus terminating the connection with the modular energy storage structure 20.

[0042] When the support plate 220 is positioned at the discharge position 2502 and the free end of the multi-section telescopic rod 240 is in the initial position 2402, the charging and swapping mechanism 200 performs a battery installation operation: First, the connecting structure 270 descends to the abutment position 2701 and abuts against the side of the fully charged modular energy storage structure 20 located at the discharge position 2502 away from the support 210, establishing a push connection relationship; then, the free end of the multi-section telescopic rod 240 extends to the extension position 2401, and the modular energy storage structure 20 is pushed along the support 210 through the discharge section to the extension position 2401 via the connecting structure 270; finally, the multi-section telescopic rod 240 returns to the initial position 2402, so that the modular energy storage structure 20 is electrically connected to the power supply end of the new energy construction equipment 10, completing the battery swapping operation.

[0043] The charging and swapping mechanism 200 of this application achieves layered management of the modular energy storage structure 20 through the layered arrangement of the receiving and discharging sections of the support 210. The receiving section is used to receive the modular energy storage structure 20 to be charged, and the discharging section is used to store the modular energy storage structure 20 after charging, avoiding mutual interference between the modular energy storage structures 20 during the charging and swapping process. The horizontal telescopic movement of the multi-section telescopic rod 240, combined with the vertical lifting movement of the connecting structure 270, realizes the grabbing, pulling, and pushing operations of the modular energy storage structure 20. The entire process is carried out in the horizontal plane, completely avoiding the high-altitude operation risks of traditional hoisting battery swapping methods. The first lifting drive component 250 drives the lifting movement of the entire bearing plate 220 and its components, realizing the rapid switching between the receiving position 2501 and the discharging position 2502, improving the battery swapping efficiency. The plug-in connection method between the charging base 260 and the modular energy storage structure 20 is simple and reliable, suitable for long-term use in harsh environments such as high altitudes. Compared with traditional hoisting battery swapping methods, the horizontal sliding battery swapping method of this application is not affected by wind in high-altitude areas and does not rely on the power performance of lifting equipment, thus having higher safety and reliability.

[0044] As an optional implementation, the multi-section telescopic rod 240 can be a three- or four-section telescopic structure, achieving telescopic movement through hydraulic or electric drive. The telescopic stroke can be adjusted according to the dimensions of the modular energy storage structure 20 of different models of new energy construction equipment 10. The connection structure 270 may include a clamping mechanism or an adsorption mechanism, establishing a connection with the modular energy storage structure 20 through mechanical clamping or vacuum adsorption to ensure the reliability and stability of the connection.

[0045] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 3 And see Figure 4In an embodiment of the present invention, the connecting structure 270 includes a mounting plate 271, a second lifting drive member 272, and a connecting piece 273. The mounting plate 271 is mounted on the free end of the multi-section telescopic rod 240. The connecting piece 273 extends vertically. The connecting end of the second lifting drive member 272 is mounted on the mounting plate 271. The free end of the second lifting drive member 272 is connected to the connecting piece 273. The second lifting drive member 272 is used to drive the connecting piece 273 to descend to the abutment position 2701 or rise to the release position 2702.

[0046] Specifically, the connecting end of the multi-section telescopic rod 240 is connected to the top of the column 230, and the free end of the multi-section telescopic rod 240 is connected to the connecting structure 270. The connecting structure 270 can descend to the abutment position 2701 or rise to the release position 2702. The mounting plate 271, as the basic mounting component of the connecting structure 270, is installed on the free end of the multi-section telescopic rod 240, providing a mounting base for the second lifting drive component 272, ensuring a reliable connection between the connecting structure 270 and the multi-section telescopic rod 240. The connecting piece 273 extends vertically, that is, it extends in the up-down direction. As a component that directly contacts the modular energy storage structure 20, the vertically extending structure of the connecting piece 273 facilitates the establishment of contact with the side or end face of the modular energy storage structure 20. The connecting end of the second lifting drive component 272 is mounted on the mounting plate 271. The free end of the second lifting drive component 272 is connected to the connecting piece 273. The second lifting drive component 272 achieves stable installation through its fixed connection with the mounting plate 271, and achieves drive control of the connecting piece 273 through the connection between its free end and the connecting piece 273. The second lifting drive component 272 is used to drive the connecting piece 273 to move vertically, so that the connecting piece 273 can descend to the abutment position 2701 to abut against the modular energy storage structure 20 and establish a connection, or rise to the release position 2702 to disengage from the modular energy storage structure 20 and release the connection.

[0047] The connection structure 270 of this application, through the coordinated operation of the mounting plate 271, the second lifting drive component 272, and the connecting piece 273, achieves the gripping and releasing control of the modular energy storage structure 20, effectively solving the technical problems of reliable connection and safe release of the modular energy storage structure 20 during the battery swapping process. The mounting plate 271 is installed at the free end of the multi-section telescopic rod 240 and moves with the horizontal telescopic movement of the multi-section telescopic rod 240, providing a stable moving platform for the connection structure 270. The vertically extending structure of the connecting piece 273 can adapt to modular energy storage structures 20 of different heights and shapes, increasing the contact area through the vertical contact surface and improving the stability and reliability of the connection. The second lifting drive component 272 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 271 through its connecting end, ensuring effective transmission of driving force and avoiding loosening or offset during the driving process. The connection between the free end of the second lifting drive component 272 and the connecting piece 273 enables the direct transmission of driving force to the connecting piece 273, allowing the connecting piece 273 to perform lowering and raising actions under the drive of the second lifting drive component 272. When the connecting piece 273 descends to the contact position 2701, it establishes a reliable mechanical connection with the modular energy storage structure 20, providing a stable point of action for subsequent pulling or pushing operations. When the connecting piece 273 rises to the release position 2702, it disengages from the modular energy storage structure 20, avoiding interference and ensuring the safety of the battery swapping operation. Compared to the complex lifting device connection system in traditional hoisting battery swapping methods, the connecting structure 270 of this application is simple to operate and is particularly suitable for automated battery swapping operations in harsh environments such as high altitudes.

[0048] As an optional implementation, the second lifting drive component 272 can be a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or electric push rod, which drives the lifting movement of the connecting piece 273 through pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric pressure. The connecting piece 273 can be equipped with a clamping claw or suction cup structure to establish a more robust connection with the modular energy storage structure 20 through mechanical clamping or vacuum adsorption, further improving the reliability and safety of the connection.

[0049] Please continue reading. Figure 4 In an embodiment of the present invention, the charging base 260 has a charging port 261 on the side facing the bracket 210, and the modular energy storage structure 20 is detachably plugged into the charging port 261 in the horizontal direction, and the charging port 261 is electrically connected to the modular energy storage structure 20.

[0050] Specifically, the charging base 260 is connected to the end of the support plate 220 away from the bracket 210. The modular energy storage structure 20 includes a frame 21 and an energy storage structure 22. Both ends of the energy storage structure 22 along its extension direction are provided with plugs 24, one of which is used for electrical connection with the charging base 260. The charging base 260 has a charging port 261 on the side facing the bracket 210, meaning the opening direction of the charging port 261 faces the bracket 210. This opening direction towards the bracket 210 matches the sliding direction of the modular energy storage structure 20 along the bracket 210, ensuring that the modular energy storage structure 20 can smoothly connect with the charging port 261 when sliding along the bracket 210 to its initial position 2402. The modular energy storage structure 20 is detachably inserted into the charging port 261 in the horizontal direction. That is, the modular energy storage structure 20 establishes a connection with the charging port 261 through horizontal insertion. The insertion process is entirely within the horizontal plane, avoiding the gravitational influence and positioning difficulties that may occur with vertical insertion. The detachable plug-in connection indicates that the connection between the modular energy storage structure 20 and the charging port 261 is reversible; it can be inserted to establish a connection and removed to disengage, facilitating automated operation and maintenance. The charging port 261 is electrically connected to the modular energy storage structure 20. Specifically, when the modular energy storage structure 20 is plugged into the charging port 261, the electrical connection terminals within the charging port 261 establish an electrical connection with the plug 24 on the modular energy storage structure 20, enabling the transfer of charging current from the charging base 260 to the modular energy storage structure 20.

[0051] The charging base 260 of this application, with its structural arrangement of a charging port 261 facing the bracket 210, effectively solves the docking and positioning problem between the modular energy storage structure 20 and the charging base 260, making it particularly suitable for docking requirements in automated battery swapping systems. The opening direction of the charging port 261 towards the bracket 210 is consistent with the sliding direction of the modular energy storage structure 20, allowing the modular energy storage structure 20 to naturally align with the charging port 261 and smoothly insert itself when it slides along the bracket 210 to its initial position 2402 under the pull of the connecting structure 270, without requiring additional turning or adjustment. The horizontal insertion method of the modular energy storage structure 20 avoids the instability caused by gravity in traditional vertical insertion. During horizontal insertion, the weight of the modular energy storage structure 20 is borne by the bracket 210, and the insertion force only needs to overcome the insertion resistance, greatly reducing the driving force required for insertion. The detachable plug-in feature allows the modular energy storage structure 20 to be easily unplugged from the charging port 261 after charging, facilitating subsequent discharge operations. The entire plugging and unplugging process is simple and suitable for high-frequency automated battery swapping operations. The electrical connection between the charging port 261 and the modular energy storage structure 20 is achieved through physical contact between the plug 24 and the electrical connection terminals inside the charging port 261. The large contact area and low contact resistance ensure the stability and efficiency of current transmission during charging. Compared to traditional charging connection methods, the horizontal plug-in charging method of this application is unaffected by external factors such as wind, ensuring a stable and reliable connection, and is particularly suitable for long-term use in harsh environments such as high altitudes.

[0052] Understandably, the charging port 261 is equipped with a socket 13 structure that matches the plug 24 on the modular energy storage structure 20. The socket 13 contains positive and negative electrical connection terminals. When the modular energy storage structure 20 is inserted into the charging port 261, the plug 24 establishes an electrical connection with the socket 13, realizing the charging function. A guide structure, such as a guide groove or guide protrusion, can be provided around the charging port 261 to guide the modular energy storage structure 20 to be accurately inserted into the charging port 261, improving the insertion accuracy and success rate.

[0053] As an optional implementation, the charging port 261 may be equipped with a locking device, such as a spring lock or an electromagnetic lock, to lock the modular energy storage structure 20 after it is inserted into place, preventing it from loosening or falling off during charging due to vibration or external force. The charging port 261 may also be equipped with a detection sensor, such as a proximity sensor or a pressure sensor, to detect the insertion status of the modular energy storage structure 20 and provide feedback signals to the charging control system.

[0054] Please continue reading. Figure 1 And see Figure 5In an embodiment of the present invention, the modular energy storage structure 20 includes a frame 21 and an energy storage structure 22. The frame 21 is mounted outside the energy storage structure 22. The extension directions of both the frame 21 and the energy storage structure 22 are consistent with the extension direction of the support 210. The frame 21 is mounted outside the energy storage structure 22. Both ends of the energy storage structure 22 along its extension direction are provided with plugs 24. One plug 24 is used to electrically connect to the power supply end of the new energy construction equipment 10, and the other plug 24 is used to electrically connect to the charging base 260.

[0055] Specifically, the support 210 extends along the X-direction, and the charging and swapping mechanism 200 is mounted on the support 310 to align with the modular energy storage structure 20 on the new energy construction equipment 10. The frame 21, as the external protective structure of the modular energy storage structure 20, is installed outside the energy storage structure 22, providing mechanical protection and structural support to prevent damage from external impacts or compression during the swapping process. The extension direction of the frame 21 is consistent with the extension direction of the support 210, i.e., the frame 21 also extends along the X-direction. This consistent extension direction ensures that the modular energy storage structure 20 can slide smoothly along the extension direction of the support 210, avoiding jamming or offset caused by mismatched directions. The energy storage structure 22, as the core functional component of the modular energy storage structure 20, is used to store and release electrical energy. The extension direction of the energy storage structure 22 is also consistent with the extension direction of the support 210, that is, the energy storage structure 22 also extends along the X direction. This arrangement makes the length direction of the energy storage structure 22 parallel to the sliding direction, which helps to reduce sliding resistance and improve sliding stability. Plugs 24 are provided at both ends of the energy storage structure 22 along its extension direction. One plug 24 is used to electrically connect to the power supply end of the new energy construction equipment 10 to realize the power supply function of the new energy construction equipment 10, and the other plug 24 is used to electrically connect to the charging base 260 to realize the charging function of the energy storage structure 22.

[0056] The modular energy storage structure 20 of this application effectively solves the protection problem of the energy storage structure 22 in harsh working environments by using the frame 21 to externally protect the energy storage structure 22, making it particularly suitable for construction sites with harsh environmental conditions such as high altitudes. The consistency between the extension direction of the frame 21 and the energy storage structure 22 and the extension direction of the support 210 ensures that the sliding process of the modular energy storage structure 20 on the support 210 is smooth and reliable, avoiding the docking difficulties caused by hoisting angle deviations in traditional hoisting power swapping methods. The arrangement of the plugs 24 at both ends of the energy storage structure 22 realizes bidirectional electrical connection function. When one end plug 24 is electrically connected to the power supply end of the new energy construction equipment 10, the energy storage structure 22 outputs electrical energy to the new energy construction equipment 10. When the other end plug 24 is electrically connected to the charging base 260, the charging base 260 inputs electrical energy to the energy storage structure 22 for charging. This configuration of the two-end plugs 24 simplifies the electrical connection structure 270 and improves the reliability and convenience of the connection. The protective function of the frame 21 enables the energy storage structure 22 to withstand mechanical and environmental stresses during the battery swapping process, extending its service life and reducing maintenance costs. Compared to traditional monolithic battery packs, the modular energy storage structure 20 of this application has better standardization and interchangeability, facilitating mass production and unified management.

[0057] Understandably, the energy storage structure 22 can be of various forms, such as lithium battery packs, supercapacitor packs, or fuel cell packs. The frame 21 can be made of materials such as aluminum alloy, stainless steel, or high-strength plastic, which have good strength and corrosion resistance. The two plugs 24 are connected to the positive and negative ends of the energy storage structure 22, respectively. Electrical connection is achieved by plugging the plugs 24 into the corresponding sockets 13. The plugging process is simple and quick, suitable for automated operation.

[0058] As an optional implementation, the frame 21 can be provided with a guide rail 320 groove or slide rail structure, which cooperates with the corresponding guide rail 320 or slide rail on the bracket 210 to further improve the accuracy and stability of the modular energy storage structure 20 sliding on the bracket 210. The plug 24 can adopt a waterproof and dustproof structure with an IP65 or higher protection rating to ensure reliable electrical connection in harsh environments.

[0059] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 3In an embodiment of the present invention, the support 210 includes a bottom track 211, a top track 212, and multiple uprights 213. The multiple uprights 213 are arranged in a rectangular interval along the horizontal direction. Both the top track 212 and the bottom track 211 extend horizontally and are both located on one side of the new energy construction equipment 10. The top track 212 is spaced above the bottom track 211. The end of the top track 212 facing away from the new energy construction equipment 10 is hinged to the upright 213. The top track 212 is inclined downward from the upright 213 towards the new energy construction equipment 10. The top track 212 forms a receiving section. The top track 211 forms a discharge section, and the bottom end of the top track 212 abuts against the bottom track 211. When the charging and swapping mechanism 200 is set at the discharge position 2502 and in the initial position 2402, the charging and swapping mechanism 200 is used to connect with the modular energy storage structure 20, extend to the extended position 2401 and reset to the initial position 2402, so that the top track 212 is abutted by the top end of the charging and swapping mechanism 200 and rotates upward, so as to drive the modular energy storage structure 20 to slide along the support 210 through the discharge section to the extended position 2401 and be electrically connected to the power supply end of the new energy construction equipment 10. A buffer pad is provided at the end of the top track 212 that abuts against the bottom track 211.

[0060] Specifically, the support frame 210 extends horizontally, the bearing seat 310 is slidably mounted on the support frame 210, and the charging / swapping mechanism 200 is mounted on the bearing seat 310. Multiple uprights 213 are arranged in a rectangular pattern at horizontal intervals, forming a rectangular support frame that provides a stable foundation for the entire support frame 210 structure. Both the top-level track 212 and the bottom-level track 211 extend horizontally, consistent with the overall extension direction of the support frame 210, ensuring the modular energy storage structure 20 can slide smoothly along the tracks. Both the top-level track 212 and the bottom-level track 211 are located on one side of the new energy construction equipment 10, forming a double-layer track structure that provides sliding paths at different heights for the modular energy storage structure 20. The top-level track 212 is spaced above the bottom-level track 211, creating a vertical spacing between them and a layered track arrangement. The top track 212, at the end away from the new energy construction equipment 10, is hinged to the upright 213. That is, the end of the top track 212 away from the new energy construction equipment 10 is connected to the upright 213 via a hinge structure, allowing the top track 212 to rotate relative to the upright 213. The top track 212 is inclined downwards from the upright 213 towards the new energy construction equipment 10, forming a downward slope structure. The top track 212 forms a receiving section, and the bottom track 211 forms a discharging section. The top track 212 serves as the receiving channel for the modular energy storage structure 20, and the bottom track 211 serves as the discharging channel for the modular energy storage structure 20. The bottom end of the top track 212 abuts against the bottom track 211, meaning the lower end of the top track 212 contacts the upper surface of the bottom track 211. Under normal conditions, the two tracks form a continuous sliding path at the contact point.

[0061] More specifically, when the charging and swapping mechanism 200 is positioned at the discharge position 2502 and in the initial position 2402, the charging and swapping mechanism 200, after connecting with the modular energy storage structure 20, extends to the extended position 2401 and then returns to the initial position 2402. This causes the top rail 212 to be abutted against by the top of the charging and swapping mechanism 200 and rotate upwards, thereby driving the modular energy storage structure 20 to slide along the support 210 through the discharge section to the extended position 2401 and electrically connect with the power supply end of the new energy construction equipment 10. When the charging and swapping mechanism 200 is in the discharge position 2502, its connecting structure 270 can establish a connection with the modular energy storage structure 20 that has been charged. Subsequently, the charging and swapping mechanism 200 extends to the extended position 2401. During the extension process, the top of the charging and swapping mechanism 200 moves upwards and abuts against the bottom surface of the top rail 212, applying an upward resisting force to the top rail 212. Since the top track 212 is connected to the upright 213 via a hinge structure, under the action of an upward resisting force, the top track 212 rotates upward around the hinge point. During the rotation, the bottom end of the top track 212 disengages from the bottom track 211, forming a continuous sliding channel from the top track 212 to the bottom track 211. The modular energy storage structure 20 slides downward along the top track 212 under the push of the charging and swapping mechanism 200. After passing the connection point between the top track 212 and the bottom track 211, it continues to slide along the bottom track 211 to the extended position 2401, and finally establishes an electrical connection with the power supply end of the new energy construction equipment 10. After the charging and swapping mechanism 200 completes the pushing action, it resets to the initial position 2402. Under the action of gravity, the top track 212 rotates downward and re-aggregates against the bottom track 211, restoring its initial state.

[0062] A buffer pad is provided at one end of the top track 212 that abuts against the bottom track 211. That is, a buffer pad is provided at the position where the bottom of the top track 212 contacts the bottom track 211. The buffer pad is used to reduce the impact force between the top track 212 and the bottom track 211, reduce contact noise, and extend the service life of the track.

[0063] The bracket 210 of this application effectively solves the problems of path switching and smooth transmission during the battery swapping process of the modular energy storage structure 20 through the ingenious combination of a double-layer track structure and hinged rotation. The inclined setting of the top track 212 utilizes gravity to provide sliding driving force for the modular energy storage structure 20, reducing the need for external driving force and lowering the system's energy consumption and complexity. The hinged structure allows the top track 212 to rotate upwards under the action of the charging and swapping mechanism 200, creating favorable conditions for the transition of the modular energy storage structure 20 from the top track 212 to the bottom track 211, avoiding the path switching difficulties in traditional fixed track structures. The rectangular distribution of multiple uprights 213 provides a stable support frame, ensuring that the bracket 210 maintains structural stability when bearing the weight and dynamic loads of the modular energy storage structure 20. The segmented function of the double-layer track makes the receiving and discharging processes independent, improving the working efficiency and safety of the battery swapping system. The buffer pad effectively reduces mechanical impact between tracks and lowers system operating noise, making it particularly suitable for noise-sensitive construction environments. Compared to traditional single-track battery swapping systems, the double-track structure of this application has higher space utilization and better operational flexibility, making it particularly suitable for construction sites with limited space, such as those in high-altitude areas.

[0064] Understandably, the upright 213 can be made of steel or aluminum alloy tubing, possessing good strength and corrosion resistance. The hinged structure can employ bearing hinges or pin hinges to ensure the smoothness and reliability of the rotation of the top track 212. The buffer pad can be made of rubber or polyurethane material, offering good cushioning and wear resistance.

[0065] As an optional implementation, the top track 212 can be equipped with a limiting device to limit the maximum rotation angle of the top track 212 and prevent structural damage caused by excessive rotation. The bottom track 211 can be equipped with guide grooves or guide protrusions to cooperate with the corresponding structures on the modular energy storage structure 20, thereby improving the guiding accuracy and stability during the sliding process.

[0067] Specifically, the modular energy storage structure 20 includes a frame 21 and an energy storage structure 22. The frame 21 is installed outside the energy storage structure 22. The support 210 includes a bottom track 211, a top track 212, and multiple uprights 213. The top track 212 forms a receiving section, and the bottom track 211 forms a discharge section. A slider 23 adapted to the top track 212 or the bottom track 211 is provided at the bottom of the frame 21. The slider 23 is installed on the bottom surface of the frame 21. The shape and size of the slider 23 match the track structure of the top track 212 or the bottom track 211, ensuring that the slider 23 can accurately slide along the track. The slider 23 is slidably connected to the top track 212 or the bottom track 211, meaning that the slider 23 establishes a connection with the track through sliding. The slider 23 can slide relative to the track along its extension direction while maintaining positional constraints perpendicular to the track's extension direction, preventing the modular energy storage structure 20 from deviating from the track path.

[0068] More specifically, the frame 21 serves as the external protective structure for the modular energy storage structure 20. The slider 23 at its bottom provides a dedicated contact interface for the sliding of the modular energy storage structure 20 on the support 210. The adaptability of the slider 23 to the top track 212 or the bottom track 211 ensures that the modular energy storage structure 20 can slide stably on different track sections. When the modular energy storage structure 20 is located in the receiving section of the top track 212, the slider 23 is slidably connected to the top track 212. When the modular energy storage structure 20 moves to the discharge section of the bottom track 211, the slider 23 is slidably connected to the bottom track 211. This sliding connection of the slider 23 makes the movement of the modular energy storage structure 20 on the track smooth and reliable, with low sliding resistance, which helps reduce the need for driving force and improve sliding efficiency. The slider 23, through its sliding connection with the track, guides and controls the movement direction of the modular energy storage structure 20, ensuring that the modular energy storage structure 20 moves strictly according to the track path, avoiding deviation from the track or lateral displacement.

[0069] This application's frame 21 effectively solves the guidance and smooth sliding problem of the modular energy storage structure 20 in a double-track system by setting a slider 23 adapted to the track at the bottom. The adaptation relationship between the slider 23 and the track ensures that the modular energy storage structure 20 can smoothly transition between the top track 212 and the bottom track 211, avoiding jamming or impact during track switching. The special design of the slider 23 concentrates the sliding contact surface of the modular energy storage structure 20 at the slider 23 part, reducing friction between other parts of the frame 21 and the track, reducing the overall sliding resistance, and improving the smoothness of the sliding process. The sliding connection method allows the modular energy storage structure 20 to slide naturally down the inclined top track 212 under the action of gravity, and slide smoothly out along the bottom track 211 under the push of the charging and swapping mechanism 200. The entire sliding process does not require a complex driving device. The constraint effect of the slider 23 on the movement trajectory of the modular energy storage structure 20 ensures the repeatability of the battery swapping process, which is particularly suitable for automated battery swapping systems with strict requirements for positional accuracy. Compared with the traditional unguided sliding method, the slider 23 of this application has higher motion accuracy and better stability, and can effectively cope with adverse factors such as wind interference and uneven ground in harsh environments such as plateaus.

[0070] Understandably, the slider 23 can be made of a low-friction material, such as nylon, polytetrafluoroethylene, or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, to reduce sliding resistance and wear. The slider 23 can be fixed to the frame 21 by bolts or welding to ensure the strength and reliability of the connection. The track surface can be surface treated, such as galvanizing or spraying an anti-corrosion coating, to improve corrosion resistance and service life.

[0071] As an optional implementation, the slider 23 can be configured as a roller structure, connecting to the track via rolling to further reduce sliding resistance and improve sliding efficiency. The slider 23 can also be provided with guide protrusions or guide grooves, which cooperate with corresponding guide grooves or guide protrusions on the track to provide guiding constraints and prevent the modular energy storage structure 20 from lateral displacement or overturning during sliding.

[0072] Please continue reading. Figure 2 In an embodiment of the present invention, the new energy construction equipment 10 includes a frame 11, a support platform 12, and a socket 13. The extension direction of the support platform 12 is consistent with the extension direction of the adjustment mechanism 300. The support platform 12 is mounted on the frame 11. The socket 13 is mounted on the end of the support platform 12 away from the adjustment mechanism 300. The socket 13 forms the power supply end of the new energy construction equipment 10. The modular energy storage structure 20 is detachably plugged into the socket 13 in the horizontal direction and electrically connected to the socket 13.

[0073] Specifically, the adjustment mechanism 300 includes a bracket 210 extending horizontally. The modular energy storage structure 20 includes a frame 21 and an energy storage structure 22. Both ends of the energy storage structure 22 along its extension direction are equipped with plugs 24, one of which is used for electrical connection to the power supply end of the new energy construction equipment 10. The frame 11, as the main load-bearing structure of the new energy construction equipment 10, provides structural support and a mobile platform for the entire equipment. The frame 11 typically includes basic components such as a chassis, drive system, and operating system. The extension direction of the load-bearing platform 12 is consistent with the extension direction of the adjustment mechanism 300, meaning the extension direction of the load-bearing platform 12 is consistent with the horizontal extension direction of the bracket 210. This directional consistency ensures that the modular energy storage structure 20 can accurately connect with the socket 13 on the load-bearing platform 12 when sliding along the bracket 210 to the extended position 2401. The support platform 12 is mounted on the frame 11, meaning it is fixedly connected to the frame 11. The support platform 12 provides the mounting base and positional support for the socket 13, and also bears the mechanical load generated when the modular energy storage structure 20 is plugged in. The socket 13 is installed at the end of the support platform 12 away from the adjustment mechanism 300, meaning it is located at the end of the support platform 12 furthest from the adjustment mechanism 300. This arrangement ensures that the socket 13 faces the extended position 2401 of the adjustment mechanism 300, allowing the modular energy storage structure 20 to directly connect with the socket 13 when it slides along the bracket 210 to the extended position 2401. The socket 13 forms the power supply end of the new energy construction equipment 10, serving as the interface for receiving electrical energy. The socket 13 contains electrical connection terminals that match the plug 24 on the modular energy storage structure 20, used to establish an electrical connection and receive electrical power.

[0074] More specifically, the modular energy storage structure 20 can be detachably plugged into and electrically connected to the socket 13 in the horizontal direction. That is, the modular energy storage structure 20 establishes a connection with the socket 13 through horizontal insertion. The plugging process is carried out in the horizontal plane, avoiding the gravitational influence and positioning difficulties that may occur with vertical plugging. The detachable plugging indicates that the connection between the modular energy storage structure 20 and the socket 13 is reversible; it can be inserted to establish a connection and pulled out to disengage, facilitating power swapping operations and maintenance management. When the modular energy storage structure 20 is plugged into the socket 13, the plug 24 on the modular energy storage structure 20 establishes an electrical connection with the electrical connection terminals inside the socket 13, realizing the transmission of electrical energy from the modular energy storage structure 20 to the new energy construction equipment 10.

[0075] This application's new energy construction equipment 10 effectively solves the docking problem between the modular energy storage structure 20 and the new energy construction equipment 10 by aligning the extension direction of the support platform 12 with that of the adjustment mechanism 300. This is particularly suitable for the high-precision docking requirements of automated battery swapping systems. The extension direction of the support platform 12 is consistent with that of the bracket 210, ensuring that the modular energy storage structure 20 remains aligned with the support platform 12 throughout its sliding motion along the bracket 210, avoiding docking failures or difficulties due to directional deviations. The socket 13 is installed at the end of the support platform 12 away from the adjustment mechanism 300, ensuring an accurate spatial correspondence between the socket 13 and the extended position 2401 of the adjustment mechanism 300. When the charging / swapping mechanism 200 pushes the modular energy storage structure 20 to the extended position 2401, the modular energy storage structure 20 can naturally dock with the socket 13 without additional adjustment or correction. The horizontal plug-in method of the modular energy storage structure 20 avoids the instability caused by gravity in traditional vertical plug-in methods. During horizontal plug-in, the plugging force only needs to overcome the plugging resistance, greatly reducing the driving force and connection difficulty. The detachable plug-in characteristic allows the modular energy storage structure 20 to be easily unplugged from the socket 13 after the power is depleted, creating conditions for subsequent battery swapping operations. The entire plugging and unplugging process is simple and suitable for high-frequency automated battery swapping operations. The electrical connection between the socket 13 and the modular energy storage structure 20 is achieved through physical contact between the plug 24 and the electrical connection terminals inside the socket 13. The large contact area and low contact resistance ensure the stability and efficiency of current transmission during power supply. Compared to traditional cable-connected power supply methods, the plug-in power supply method of this application provides a fast and reliable connection, making it particularly suitable for long-term use in harsh environments such as high altitudes.

[0076] Understandably, the frame 11 can be a tracked frame 11 or a wheeled frame 11, possessing good off-road capability and load-bearing capacity. The load-bearing platform 12 can be made of steel plate or aluminum alloy plate, possessing sufficient strength and rigidity. The socket 13 is provided with a socket structure that matches the plug 24 on the modular energy storage structure 20. The socket contains positive and negative electrical connection terminals. When the modular energy storage structure 20 is inserted into the socket 13, the plug 24 establishes an electrical connection with the socket, realizing the power supply function.

[0077] As an optional implementation, the support platform 12 may be equipped with a guide structure, such as a guide groove or guide protrusion, to guide the modular energy storage structure 20 to be accurately inserted into the socket 13, thereby improving the accuracy and success rate of insertion. The socket 13 may be equipped with a locking device, such as a spring lock or an electromagnetic lock, to lock the modular energy storage structure 20 after it has been inserted into place, preventing it from loosening or falling off due to vibration or external force during power supply.

[0078] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present invention and the contents of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
