Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery management technology, specifically to an intelligent battery compartment for electric bicycle platform operation. Background Technology

[0002] Electric bicycles are vehicles that use batteries as auxiliary power and are based on ordinary bicycles, equipped with motors, controllers, batteries, throttles, brakes, and other control components, as well as display systems. They have a pedal-assist function and, compared to gasoline-powered vehicles, reduce emissions of pollutants such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides, directly improving urban air quality. Electric bicycles allow for flexible navigation through narrow alleys, avoiding rush hour traffic jams, and making commuting time more controllable.

[0003] Existing electric bicycle charging methods typically involve users charging themselves or removing the battery and charging it indoors. This can easily lead to fires due to overcharging, inferior chargers, or battery aging, exacerbating safety risks. Furthermore, the presence of charging ports makes it impossible to completely prevent users from operating the batteries themselves. Therefore, this approach does not meet current needs. To address this, we propose an electric bicycle platform-operated intelligent battery compartment. Summary of the Invention

A transparent sealing plate 105 is fixedly installed on the middle of the upper surface of the fixing rib plate 102. An unlocking QR code is provided between the transparent sealing plate 105 and the fixing rib plate 102. Connecting rotating plates 103 are installed on both sides of the transparent sealing plate 105. The fixing rib plate 102 is rotatably connected to both connecting rotating plates 103. A locking knob 104 is provided on the inner side of one end of the connecting rotating plate 103. The two connecting rotating plates 103 are rotated to the upper end of the battery body 201, and the battery body 201 and the connecting rotating plate 103 are locked by the locking knob 104.

[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 5The inner side of the mounting mechanism 1 is equipped with a battery swapping battery 2, which includes a battery body 201. The bottom end of the locking knob 104 is connected to the rotating plate 103 and is threadedly connected to the battery body 201. The rotating plate 103 and the battery body 201 are locked together by the locking knob 104. Two lifting handles 202 are fixedly installed on the upper end of the battery body 201. Both sides of the battery body 201 are provided with upper locking slots 203. A charging base 204 is installed above the upper locking slots 203. The battery body 201 is fixedly connected to the two charging bases 204. The two upper locking slots 203 and the charging bases 204 are symmetrically installed relative to the battery body 201, so that the battery body 201 can synchronously supply power to the electric bicycle motor and the backup battery 307 through the charging bases 204 and the charging plug 304.

[0020] Please see Figures 2 to 6 Two power-connecting locking mechanisms 3 are installed between the installation mechanism 1 and the battery swapping unit 2. The two power-connecting locking mechanisms 3 are installed symmetrically with respect to the battery swapping unit 2. Each power-connecting locking mechanism 3 includes a power-connecting box 301. The battery body 201 is in close contact with both power-connecting boxes 301. From bottom to top, a spare battery 307, an electromagnetic lock 305, and a component mounting box 306 are installed on the inner side of the power-connecting box 301. A sealing cover 302 is fixedly installed on one side of the power-connecting box 301.

The device mounting box 306 has a dual-mode positioning chip, a high-precision coulomb counter and a circuit board inside. The dual-mode positioning chip, the high-precision coulomb counter and the circuit board are electrically connected to the backup battery 307. The dual-mode positioning chip uploads the vehicle location to the operation platform in real time. The high-precision coulomb counter monitors the power of the battery body 201 and uploads it to the platform. The corresponding warning reminder is given according to the remaining power. A backup charging port 303 is installed at the top of the power junction box 301. A charging plug 304 is installed on one side of the backup charging port 303. The charging base 204 is plugged into the charging plug 304. The backup charging port 303 and the charging plug 304 are electrically connected to the backup battery 307. The electrical energy in the battery body 201 is used to supply power to the backup battery 307 first. The backup battery 307 can also be actively charged externally through the backup charging port 303. Thus, when the battery body 201 is depleted, the backup battery 307 can still supply power to the device mounting box 306, which facilitates the positioning and searching of electric bicycles.

[0021] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The bottom of the battery swapping unit 2 is equipped with a positioning connection mechanism 4, which includes a positioning base 401. The positioning base 401 is fixedly connected to the installation chamber 101. The bottom of the battery body 201 is inserted into the inner side of the positioning base 401. Vibration damping pads are provided between the upper and lower ends of the battery body 201 and the connecting rotating plate 103 and the positioning base 401. An electric push rod 409 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the positioning base 401. A double-headed separation seat 408 is fixedly installed on the output end of the electric push rod 409. The double-headed separation seat 408 is slidably connected to the positioning base 401. Both ends of the separation seat 408 are slidably connected to limit blocks 407. A central mounting seat 402 is installed between the two limit blocks 407. The central mounting seat 402 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the battery body 201. Both ends of the double-headed separation seat 408 are inserted between the central mounting seat 402 and the two limit blocks 407, so that the electric push rod 409 drives the double-headed separation seat 408 to slide and push the two limit blocks 407, realizing the separation operation between the two ends of the central mounting seat 402 and the two limit blocks 407, which facilitates the battery body 201 to be replaced. Both ends of the central mounting base 402 are engaged with two limiting blocks 407, which are symmetrically mounted relative to the central mounting base 402. A contact head 406 is fixedly mounted in the middle of the central mounting base 402. A pressure sensor is installed inside the contact head 406, and the bottom end of the pressure sensor is in contact with the inner wall of the positioning base 401. A guide post 404 is mounted on one end of the limiting block 407, and a guide sleeve 403 is slidably connected to the outer side of one end of the guide post 404. A support spring 405 is provided between the sleeve 403 and the guide post 404. One end of the guide post 404 passes through the support spring 405 and is connected to the limiting block 407 by a thread. The guide sleeve 403 and the guide post 404 are connected by the support spring 405. Under the elastic support of the support spring 405, the guide post 404 is guided by the guide sleeve 403 to keep the limiting block 407 stably engaged with the central mounting base 402, thereby realizing the automatic positioning and installation of the battery body 201.

[0022] When in use, when applying the battery compartment of an electric bicycle, the mounting compartment 101 is fixedly connected to the electric bicycle, and the battery body 201 is inserted into the inside of the positioning base 401, so that the charging sockets 204 on both sides of the battery body 201 are inserted and installed with the charging plug 304, so that the battery body 201 can provide synchronous power to the electric bicycle motor and the spare battery 307 through the charging sockets 204 and the charging plug 304. When the power is turned on, the bottom end of the battery body 201 is fixedly connected to the central mounting base 402. When the battery body 201 drives the central mounting base 402 to be inserted into the inner side of the positioning base 401, the two symmetrically installed limiting blocks 407 can be synchronously engaged with both ends of the central mounting base 402 under the elastic support of the support spring 405. One end of the guide post 404 passes through the support spring 405 and is connected to the limiting block 407 by a thread. Under the elastic support of the support spring 405, the guide post 404 maintains the stable engagement of the limiting block 407 with the central mounting base 402 through the guide sleeve 403, thereby realizing the automatic positioning and installation of the battery body 201. A pressure sensor is provided inside the contact head 406, and the bottom end of the pressure sensor is in contact with the inner wall of the positioning base 401. The pressure sensor can monitor the installation status of the battery body 201. A locking tongue is provided on one side of the electromagnetic lock 305, and one end of the locking tongue passes through the power box 301 and is inserted into the inner side of the upper locking groove 203. This allows the electromagnetic lock 305 to laterally limit the battery body 201 and keep the battery body 201 fixed. Then, the two connecting plates 103 are rotated to the upper end of the battery body 201, and the battery body 201 and the connecting plates 103 are locked by the locking knob 104. Vibration damping pads are provided between the upper and lower ends of the battery body 201 and the connecting plates 103 and the positioning base 401, so that the connecting plates 103, the power locking mechanism 3 and the positioning connection mechanism 4 can effectively maintain the stable installation of the battery body 201. The device mounting box 306 is equipped with a dual-mode positioning chip, a high-precision coulomb counter, and a circuit board. The dual-mode positioning chip, the high-precision coulomb counter, and the circuit board are electrically connected to the backup battery 307. The dual-mode positioning chip uploads the vehicle's location to the operation platform in real time. The high-precision coulomb counter monitors the power level of the battery body 201 and uploads it to the platform. It also provides corresponding warnings based on the remaining power level. The power in the battery body 201 is used to power the backup battery 307 first. The backup battery 307 can also be actively charged externally through the backup charging port 303. Thus, when the battery body 201 is depleted, the backup battery 307 can still power the device mounting box 306, which facilitates the positioning and search operation of the electric bicycle. An unlocking QR code is provided between the fixed rib plate 102 and the transparent sealing plate 105. The electromagnetic lock 305 can be disconnected by scanning the unlocking QR code or by remotely unlocking via the dual-mode positioning chip. At the same time, the electric push rod 409 is activated, which drives the double-headed separation seat 408 to slide under the support of the positioning base 401. Then, the two ends of the double-headed separation seat 408 simultaneously push the two limit blocks 407, realizing the separation operation between the two ends of the central mounting seat 402 and the two limit blocks 407. At this time, the battery body 201 can be replaced by removing the locking knob 104, making it more convenient to use.
