[0031] The technical solution of the utility model is further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0032] An embodiment of the utility model provides a power exchange cabinet 100.

[0033] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the power exchange cabinet 100 includes a cabinet body 110, a plurality of charging compartments 120 and a drainage pipe 130;

[0034] The charging compartment 120 has an opening for taking out the battery pack, and a plurality of the charging compartments 120 are arranged inside the cabinet 110, and the opening is arranged close to the outer surface of the cabinet 110;

[0035] The charging compartment 120 has a space for placing a battery pack, and the charging compartment 120 further includes a lower panel 121 located below the space;

[0036] The lower panel 121 is tilted downward toward a position close to the opening; the charging compartment 120 also has a second opening 125, which is located at the lowest point close to the lower panel 121. The second opening 125 is connected to the drainage pipe 130, and the drainage pipe 130 can drain water to the outside.

[0037] It can be understood that the technical solution of the utility model is to set the lower panel 121 of the charging compartment 120 to be tilted downward toward the position close to the opening, and to set the second opening 125 at the lowest point close to the lower panel 121. The second opening 125 is connected to the drainage pipe 130, and the drainage pipe 130 can drain water to the outside. When there is water inside the battery swap cabinet 100, the water flow entering the charging compartment 120 flows into the second opening 125 through the guidance of the lower panel 121, and flows into the drainage pipe 130 through the second opening 125, so that the water is discharged to the outside, avoiding the battery pack from being immersed in water for a long time.

[0038] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the charging compartment 120 further includes a water guide groove 122 , a side wall of the water guide groove 122 is connected to the lowest point of the lower panel 121 , and the water guide groove 122 is connected to the drainage pipe 130 through the second opening 125 .

[0039] It is understandable that in order to discharge rainwater entering from the opening direction in a timely manner, the charging compartment 120 also includes a water guide groove 122, and the side wall of the water guide groove 122 is connected to the lowest point of the lower panel 121.

[0040] See also Figure 7 Furthermore, in order to prevent water from overflowing from the opening, the charging compartment 120 also includes a front baffle 1221, a rear baffle 1222 and a bottom plate 1223, the rear baffle 1222 is connected to the end of the lower panel 121, and the rear baffle 1222, the bottom plate 1223 and the front baffle 1221 enclose the water guide groove 122.

[0041] Specifically, the height of the front baffle 1221 is greater than or equal to the height of the rear baffle 1222 to prevent water from overflowing from the opening when the amount of water is too large and to prevent water from flowing into another charging compartment 120 .

[0042] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5 In another specific embodiment of the present invention, the drainage pipe 130 includes a drainage branch pipe 131 and a drainage main pipe 132 . The drainage branch pipe 131 is connected to the water guide groove 122 through the second opening 125 , and the drainage branch pipe 131 is connected to the drainage main pipe 132 .

[0043] It is understandable that there are multiple charging compartments 120, and the corresponding number of drainage branch pipes 131 is also multiple. Multiple drainage branch pipes 131 are connected to the drainage main pipe 132, which reduces the usage of the drainage main pipe 132 and saves costs.

[0044] See also Figure 4 In one embodiment, in order to prevent the water in the main drainage pipe 132 from flowing back to the branch drainage pipe 131, the branch drainage pipe 131 has a bending portion 131a to prevent backflow.

[0045] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7In another embodiment of the utility model, the charging bin 120 further includes a bin door 123 covering the opening and a waterproof structure 124 arranged around the opening, the waterproof structure 124 having a groove 124a on one side facing the bin door 123, and a protrusion 1231 on one side of the bin door 123 close to the waterproof structure 124, and the protrusion 1231 cooperates with the groove 124a.

[0046] It is understandable that the protrusion 1231 cooperates with the groove 124a to prevent rainwater from flowing into the interior of the charging compartment 120 from the gap between the opening and the compartment door 123, thereby keeping the battery compartment dry.

[0047] Furthermore, in order to further achieve a sealing and waterproof effect, the waterproof structure 124 further includes a rubber pad 1241, and the rubber pad 1241 is disposed in the groove 124a.

[0048] See also Figure 4 In a supplementary embodiment of the present utility model, the power exchange cabinet 100 also includes a fire nozzle 140, and the fire nozzle 140 is arranged inside the charging compartment 120. It should be noted that when the external fire warning equipment is enabled, the fire nozzle 140 starts to spray water. It can also be understood that the fire nozzle 140 can directly spray water on the battery pack when working, and then the water is discharged to the outside through the lower panel 121 and the drainage pipe 130. In order to achieve the effect of precise fire extinguishing, it also avoids damage to the batteries in other charging compartments 120.

[0049] Furthermore, the battery exchange cabinet 100 further includes a smoke alarm 150, which is disposed inside the charging compartment 120. The smoke alarm 150 collects smoke information and prompts people to locate the specific location of the charging compartment 120 where the fire has occurred.

[0050] As described above, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments can still be modified, or some of the technical features can be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the utility model.
