[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery replacement equipment for new energy vehicles, and in particular to a battery compartment anti-overlap detection device. Background Art

[0002] The current method of detecting whether there is a battery in the charging position of the energy storage warehouse in the smart battery swap station is mainly through two battery detection sensors set in the charging position for detection and judgment. When the two detection sensors sense the battery at the same time, it is judged that there is a battery stored in the position; when at least one sensor does not detect the battery, it is judged that there is no battery in the position and the position is in an empty position.

[0003] The battery sensor for the charging compartment is a mechanical screw-fastened positioning sensor. During frequent use of smart battery swap stations, frequent movements can easily lead to loose screws, mechanical position shifts, or equipment damage, resulting in abnormal signal detection and affecting the normal use of the equipment. When there are batteries stored in the actual charging compartment of the energy storage warehouse, but the battery detection signal sensor of the charging compartment is abnormal, storing batteries in the compartment will cause the batteries in the compartment to overlap, causing the equipment and batteries to collide and be damaged.
