Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery swap stations, and in particular to a spliced ​​modular battery swap station. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, new energy heavy-duty trucks have developed rapidly. Battery-swap heavy-duty trucks have broken through the bottleneck of pure electric heavy-duty trucks' long range and charging time, and accelerated the market share of electric heavy-duty trucks in the field of new energy heavy-duty trucks. Heavy-duty truck battery-swap stations have become necessary supporting facilities for the development of battery-swap heavy-duty trucks. However, the battery-swap capacity of traditional battery-swap stations is large. For scenarios with low frequency of battery-swap, the initial investment cost of station construction is huge, the battery utilization rate is low, and the payment cycle is long. This has become a resistance to the rapid layout and promotion of battery-swap stations.

[0003] For this reason, small-scale battery swap stations have emerged that can meet the needs of low-frequency battery swaps. However, in response to diversified market demands and in transportation scenarios where customer capacity is gradually increasing, the above-mentioned battery swap stations are unable to quickly adapt their products according to changes in customer demand.

[0040] In addition, the expansion battery exchange cabin module 2 includes: an expansion container body 2-1 and a bottom support module 3 connected to the bottom of the expansion container body 2-1; the structure of the expansion container body 2-1 is the same as that of the basic container body 1-1, and a robot expansion track 2-2 and a second battery exchange base 2-3 are installed in the expansion container body 2-1. The structure of the robot expansion track 2-2 is the same as that of the robot track 1-10, and the structure of the second battery exchange base 2-3 is the same as that of the first battery exchange base 1-2.

[0041] When the customer needs to replace batteries more frequently, the basic battery replacement module 1 and the extended battery replacement module 2 can be connected as a whole. Figure 5 , it can form a large-scale battery swap station with 8 stations. In addition, according to actual operational needs, the overall expansion of the battery swap cabin module 2 can be further expanded to 12 stations, 16 stations, etc. The product is more flexible and can meet diversified market needs.

[0042] Furthermore, when the basic container body 1-1 is connected to the bottom support module 3, and when the extended container body 2-1 is connected to the bottom support module 3, they are both connected through a plurality of connectors.

[0043] Each connecting part includes: two fixed bottom plates 9 and two connecting plates 4. When the basic container body 1-1 is connected to the bottom support module 3, the two fixed bottom plates 9 are respectively welded to the bottom side wall of the basic container body 1-1 and the top side wall of the bottom support module 3. When the extended container body 2-1 is connected to the bottom support module 3, the two fixed bottom plates 9 are respectively welded to the bottom side wall of the extended container body 2-1 and the top side wall of the bottom support module 3, and an M16 internal thread is provided on the fixed bottom plate 9.

[0044] The connecting plate 4 is made of high-strength carbon steel plate bent into 90°, and a number of reinforcing ribs are welded between the two bent surfaces in the length direction. Horizontal and vertical long holes are respectively opened on the two bent surfaces, which can solve the problem of being unable to install due to shape and position tolerances when splicing the modules; one side wall of the two connecting plates 4 is respectively connected to the two fixed bottom plates 9 by bolts 5, and the other side walls of the two connecting plates 4 are in contact and connected by bolts 5, and the basic container body 1-1 and the bottom support module 3, and the expansion container body 2-1 and the bottom support module 3 are respectively connected into a whole through the connecting parts.

[0045] Furthermore, when the basic power exchange cabin module 1 and the expanded power exchange cabin module 2 are spliced, in order to make the connection more stable after splicing, the basic container body 1-1 and the expanded container body 2-1 are also connected by a number of connecting parts. When connecting, the fixed bottom plate 9 is vertically welded to the side walls of the basic container body 1-1 and the expanded container body 2-1 that are close to each other, and the two connecting plates 4 are vertically connected to the two fixed bottom plates 9, respectively, and the other side walls of the two connecting plates 4 are in contact and connected by bolts.

[0046] Furthermore, the side where the basic container body 1-1 and the extended container body 2-1 are spliced ​​is detachably connected to the rear door 1-11 by screwing. When the basic power exchange cabin module 1 and the extended power exchange cabin module 2 need to be spliced, the rear door 1-11 is removed and screwed to the side of the extended container body 2-1 away from the basic container body 1-1.

[0047] Furthermore, when the basic container body 1-1 is spliced ​​with the extended container body 2-1, the robot track 1-10 and the robot extended track 2-2 are spliced ​​in a stepped manner.

[0048] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the splicing structure of the robot track and the robot extension track. A stepped interface can be opened at the end of the robot track 1-10, and a stepped protrusion matching the stepped interface can be connected to the end of the robot extension track 2-2. During splicing, the stepped protrusion is inserted into the stepped interface. The stepped form can achieve fast and accurate plug-in splicing.

[0049] It is worth noting that before the basic battery swap module 1 and the extended battery swap module 2 are spliced, the bottom support module 3 of the two parts needs to be leveled using a level and a bottom leveling mechanism to ensure the flatness of the robot track 1-10 and the robot extension track 2-2 after installation. After the robot track 1-10 and the robot extension track 2-2 are spliced, the automatic truss robot 1-9 can run along the robot track 1-10 and the robot extension track 2-2, so that an automatic truss robot can walk and swap batteries in two modules.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
