Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile parts, and in particular to a replacement battery pack in-place status monitoring structure and an automobile. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the development of battery swapping technology, the frequency of battery swapping vehicles and battery swapping batteries has accelerated, and there may be situations where the battery pack and the vehicle are not properly installed, which will cause the battery pack to fall off the vehicle, resulting in a large social impact on the company. This application is to solve the installation status of the battery swapping battery lock body and add a sensor solution for in-place monitoring.

[0003] However, in existing battery-swap vehicle models, during the battery-swap process, the battery pack relies on the strategy of the battery-swap station's locking and unlocking system, and is unable to identify whether the upper and lower lock bodies of the battery pack are in place, that is, it is unable to judge the status of the battery pack. If the battery-swap lock body is not installed in place, the battery pack will fall off during vehicle driving. Utility Model Content
