Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of new energy charging, in particular to an adjustable charging head. Background Art

[0002] With the full promotion of new energy electric vehicles, people found that there were certain problems with the endurance and charging of new energy electric vehicles in the early stage of new energy vehicle development. In response, new energy vehicle manufacturers have updated their battery technology.

[0003] At first, the range of the traditional lead-acid battery was updated from about 60 kilometers to 60 to 300 kilometers for lithium batteries. Later, the range of 60 to 300 kilometers for lithium batteries was updated to 300 to 500 kilometers for lithium iron phosphate batteries. What's more, the range of batteries of some car companies may even reach 1,000 kilometers in the future. Therefore, with the continuous improvement of battery life, people's mileage anxiety has been fully alleviated to a certain extent. With the optimization of charging technology, nowadays professional charging stations only take 15 minutes to half an hour to fully charge. Despite this, there is still a small group of new energy vehicle users who are in urgent need of faster charging methods.

The advantage of battery swap technology is that it perfectly solves the problem of charging time, and there is no need to worry about the problem of battery power storage weakening.

[0005] In existing new energy battery swap stations, due to the limited space inside the station, in order to improve the efficiency of battery swapping, it is necessary to stack the battery packs in multiple layers and then charge the battery packs on each layer at the same time. Therefore, it is necessary to set up a special flipping mechanism and rotating structure under the battery pack to adjust the position of the battery pack. When charging is required, the battery pack is flipped and rotated so that the charging end of the battery pack is aligned with the charging device to achieve charging.

There is at least one charging component 2, which is arranged on one side of the support column 1 at a preset distance, and is used to charge the battery corresponding to each charging component 2. Since the battery packs produced by existing battery manufacturers are designed according to the specifications of each manufacturer, many battery models and specifications on the market are different. The position of the charging head on the support column 1 is usually fixed, so when charging the battery pack, it is necessary to move the battery pack accordingly through the components under the battery pack, so as to move the charging end of the battery pack to the charging head. However, the overall weight of the battery pack is often relatively large. According to the law of conservation of energy, it can be known that the work done in the process of moving the battery pack must be supplied by electrical energy. Therefore, this method is not energy-saving and is extremely inconvenient to operate.
