[0031] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0032] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 4The positioning assembly 100 for a battery, a vehicle, and a battery swap station according to an embodiment of the utility model are described. The positioning assembly 100 includes: a fixing frame 10; a positioning column 20, which is fixed to the fixing frame 10 and is suitable for positioning with the battery, and the positioning column 20 is formed with a liquid flow channel 21, and the side wall of the liquid flow channel 21 is formed with a leakage hole 22 connected to the liquid flow channel 21, and the leakage hole 22 passes through the side wall; a liquid storage bottle 30 and a driving assembly 40, the liquid storage bottle 30 is connected to the liquid flow channel 21, and the driving assembly 40 is suitable for being triggered by the battery to drive the liquid in the liquid storage bottle 30 to flow into the liquid flow channel 21, so that the liquid flows out of the positioning column 20 from the leakage hole 22.

[0033] The positioning column 20 may be a positioning pin, and the positioning column 20 is fixed to the fixing frame 10. For example, the positioning column 20 and the fixing frame 10 may be fixedly connected by snapping, or the positioning column 20 and the fixing frame 10 may be fixedly connected by bolts, but the utility model is not limited thereto. The positioning column 20 and the fixing frame 10 may also be fixedly connected by other means, as long as the positioning column 20 is fixed to the fixing frame 10. The positioning column 20 is suitable for positioning with the battery. Specifically, the battery end may be provided with a positioning hole, and the positioning hole is adapted to the positioning column 20 so that the positioning column 20 and the battery are positioned and matched.

[0034] The positioning column 20 may be formed with a liquid flow channel 21 extending along the axial direction of the positioning column 20, so that the liquid in the liquid flow channel 21 can flow along the axial direction of the positioning column 20 to the leakage hole 22 to lubricate the positioning column 20. The liquid storage bottle 30 is connected to the liquid flow channel 21, for example, the liquid storage bottle 30 and the liquid flow channel 21 can be connected through a pipeline, or the liquid storage bottle 30 and the liquid flow channel 21 can be directly connected. The present application takes the example of the liquid storage bottle 30 and the liquid flow channel 21 being connected through a pipeline. The drive component 40 is suitable for being triggered by a battery to drive the liquid in the liquid storage bottle 30 to flow into the liquid flow channel 21. For example, the drive component 40 can be an electromagnetic pump, a pressing pump or other structures. The side wall of the liquid flow channel 21 can be formed with a leakage hole 22 connected to the liquid flow channel 21. The leakage hole 22 can penetrate the side wall of the positioning column 20 so that the liquid flows out of the positioning column 20 from the leakage hole 22. When the battery is disassembled and assembled, after the driving assembly 40 is triggered by the battery, the liquid in the liquid storage bottle 30 automatically flows into the liquid flow channel 21, and then the liquid in the liquid flow channel 21 flows from the leakage hole 22 to the outer surface of the positioning column 20, so that the positioning column 20 can be automatically lubricated, eliminating the step of manual lubrication, thereby greatly reducing the cost of manual maintenance, and thus improving the economy of the vehicle.

[0035] According to the positioning assembly 100 for a battery in an embodiment of the utility model, a liquid flow channel 21 is formed on the positioning column 20, and a leakage hole 22 connected to the liquid flow channel 21 is formed in the liquid flow channel 21. The liquid storage bottle 30 is connected to the liquid flow channel 21, and the driving assembly 40 is suitable for being triggered by the battery to drive the liquid in the liquid storage bottle 30 to automatically flow into the liquid flow channel 21, so that the automatic liquid in the liquid flow channel 21 flows out of the leakage hole 22 to lubricate the positioning column 20. Without manual maintenance, the positioning column 20 can be automatically lubricated, which greatly reduces the cost of manual maintenance and thereby improves the economy of the vehicle.

[0036] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the liquid flow channel 21 extends axially along the positioning column 20, so that the liquid in the liquid flow channel 21 can flow axially along the positioning column 20 to the position of the leakage hole 22. There can be multiple leakage holes 22, for example: there can be two, three, four, etc. leakage holes 22, but the utility model is not limited to this, and there can also be other numbers of leakage holes 22, as long as there are multiple leakage holes 22. Multiple leakage holes 22 can be arranged along the circumference of the positioning column 20, and multiple leakage holes 22 can be evenly arranged along the circumference of the positioning column 20, so that the liquid in the liquid flow channel 21 flows axially along the positioning column 20 to the position of the leakage hole 22 and flows out evenly from the multiple leakage holes 22, thereby lubricating the outer surface of the positioning column 20 all around, thereby improving the lubrication effect of the positioning column 20.

[0037] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the driving assembly 40 may include: a pressing rod 41 and a pressing pump head 42. The driving assembly 40 in this embodiment is the pressing pump in the above embodiment. The bottle mouth of the liquid storage bottle 30 may be provided with a pressing pump head 42, and the liquid flow channel 21 is connected to the liquid storage bottle 30 through the pressing pump head 42. The pressing rod 41 is movably arranged on the fixed frame 10. For example, the pressing rod 41 and the fixed frame 10 can be connected by elastic parts, cylinders and other structures, but the utility model is not limited to this. The pressing rod 41 and the fixed frame 10 can also be connected by other structures, as long as the pressing rod 41 is movably arranged on the fixed frame 10. The pressing rod 41 is connected to the pressing pump head 42, for example, the pressing rod 41 and the pressing pump head 42 can be connected by a snap connection, or the pressing rod 41 and the pressing pump head 42 can be connected by a bolt, but the utility model is not limited thereto, and the pressing rod 41 and the pressing pump head 42 can also be connected by other means, as long as the pressing rod 41 and the pressing pump head 42 are connected. When the battery is disassembled and assembled, when the battery abuts against the pressing rod 41 and applies a force to the pressing rod 41, the driving assembly 40 is triggered by the battery, and the pressing rod 41 is driven by the battery to press the pressing pump head 42, so that the liquid in the liquid storage bottle 30 can flow into the liquid flow channel 21.

[0038] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the positioning assembly 100 for the battery may also include: a connecting tube 50, and the pressing pump head 42 has a pump outlet 43, for example: the pressing pump head 42 has an outlet pipe, and the outlet pipe defines a through hole to form the pump outlet 43. The present application takes the outlet pipe and the pressing pump head 42 as an example that they can be integrally formed and connected. It is arranged in this way so that one end of the connecting tube 50 can be nested in the outer periphery of the pump outlet 43, so that one end of the connecting tube 50 is connected to the pump outlet 43, and the other end of the connecting tube 50 can be connected to the liquid flow channel 21, so that the liquid storage bottle 30 is connected to the liquid flow channel 21. Further, by driving the pressing pump head 42, the liquid in the liquid storage bottle 30 can be transported to the liquid flow channel 21 through the pump outlet 43, the connecting tube 50, and in sequence.

[0039] Furthermore, when the battery is matched with the positioning column 20, the battery shell will squeeze the pressing rod 41, and the pressing rod 41 pushes the pressing pump head 42 so that the pressing pump head 42 pumps the liquid in the liquid storage bottle 30 into the liquid flow channel 21, and then the liquid entering the liquid flow channel 21 flows to the outer surface of the positioning column 20 through the leakage hole 22 on the side wall of the positioning column 20 to lubricate the positioning column 20, thereby realizing automatic lubrication of the positioning column 20, and there is no need to manually lubricate the positioning column 20 with lubricating oil at a regular interval, which greatly reduces the cost of manual maintenance.

[0040] It can be explained that the liquid in the liquid storage bottle 30 is lubricating oil that can lubricate the positioning column 20 .

[0041] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the positioning column 20 can also be formed with a first assembly hole 23 adjacent to and connected to the liquid flow channel 21. The first assembly hole 23 and the liquid flow channel 21 are arranged axially along the positioning column 20. The other end of the connecting tube 50 is connected to a joint 51, and the joint 51 is assembled in the first assembly hole 23 so that the joint 51 connects the connecting tube 50 and the liquid flow channel 21.

[0042] Among them, the positioning column 20 can also be formed with a first assembly hole 23 adjacent to and connected to the liquid flow channel 21, and the first assembly hole 23 and the liquid flow channel 21 can be arranged along the axial direction of the positioning column 20 to improve the docking overlap between the liquid flow channel 21 and the first assembly hole 23, thereby improving the flow speed of the liquid from the first assembly hole 23 to the liquid flow channel 21, and then improving the lubrication efficiency of the positioning column 20.

[0043] The other end of the connecting tube 50 may be connected to a joint 51. Specifically, the connecting tube 50 may be nested in the outer periphery of one end of the joint 51 so that the connecting tube 50 is connected to the joint 51, and the other end of the joint 51 is assembled in the first assembly hole 23 so that the joint 51 connects the connecting tube 50 and the liquid flow channel 21. For example, the joint 51 and the first assembly hole 23 may be assembled and connected by threaded connection, or the joint 51 and the first assembly hole 23 may be assembled and connected by snap-fit ​​connection, or the joint 51 and the first assembly hole 23 may be assembled and connected by welding, but the utility model is not limited thereto. The joint 51 and the first assembly hole 23 may also be connected by other methods, as long as the joint 51 is assembled in the first assembly hole 23. Thus, the liquid in the liquid storage bottle 30 can be sequentially transported to the liquid flow channel 21 through the connecting tube 50, the joint 51, and the first assembly hole 23.

[0044] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the fixing frame 10 may have a second assembly hole 11, and the positioning column 20 is inserted into the second assembly hole 11 so that the positioning column 20 is assembled to the fixing frame 10, for example, the positioning column 20 is fixed to the fixing frame 10, or the positioning column 20 is positioned on the fixing frame 10. Specifically, the shape of the second assembly hole 11 may be adapted to the shape of the positioning column 20, so that the positioning column 20 can be smoothly inserted into the second assembly hole 11, and the positioning column 20 can be stably installed on the fixing frame 10, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the positioning column 20.

[0045] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and 4 As shown, the outer peripheral wall of the positioning column 20 is formed with a first conical surface 24, and the inner wall of the second assembly hole 11 is configured as a second conical surface 12. When the positioning column 20 is inserted into the second assembly hole 11, the first conical surface 24 and the second conical surface 12 abut against each other to limit the position.

[0046] Among them, the outer wall of the positioning column 20 can be formed with a first conical surface 24, the inner wall of the second assembly hole 11 is constructed as a second conical surface 12, and the shapes and sizes of the first conical surface 24 and the second conical surface 12 can be adapted to facilitate the positioning column 20 to be smoothly inserted into the second assembly hole 11, and when the positioning column 20 is inserted into the second assembly hole 11, the first conical surface 24 and the second conical surface 12 abut and limit, thereby assembling the positioning column 20 in the second assembly hole 11, thereby further making the positioning column 20 firmly installed on the fixing frame 10, further improving the stability and reliability of the positioning column 20.

[0047] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the positioning assembly 100 may further include: a fixing member 52, which may be a positioning pin nut, so as to facilitate the fitting and assembly of the fixing member 52 and the positioning column 20.
