Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of charging and battery replacement, and in particular to a battery replacement station. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, as the number of new energy vehicles has increased year by year, how to quickly and effectively recharge low-power new energy vehicles has become a problem of great concern to many users and manufacturers. At present, there are two main technical solutions for new energy recharge: charging and battery replacement. Compared with the charging solution, the battery replacement solution has the advantages of short time and less damage to the battery, and has become an important development direction for recharge.

[0003] The battery swapping solution needs to be carried out in the battery swapping station. Currently, there are several types of battery swapping stations on the market: lifting type (lifting the vehicle to be swapped to form a space that allows the battery swapping robot to enter), stage type (the battery swapping platform is raised as a whole to accommodate the battery swapping robot), and digging type (digging a pit under the battery swapping platform to accommodate the battery swapping robot). Compared with the other two types of battery swapping stations, the lifting type battery swapping station has relatively low requirements for site selection, infrastructure, transportation, etc., so it is conducive to the promotion of battery swapping solutions. However, this type of battery swapping station also has the following shortcomings: First, due to the presence of lifting columns, the platform space is relatively large, which makes it inconvenient for the owner to get off the vehicle and the field of vision is poor; secondly, when the vehicle to be swapped is parked on the battery swapping platform, there is a risk of collision between the lifting columns and the vehicle; thirdly, the setting of multiple lifting columns affects the overall aesthetics of the battery swapping platform.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", and "fourth" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. In addition, in the description of the present application, "multiple" refers to at least two.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0042] In the following description, the length direction of the battery swap platform is first defined as the direction in which the vehicle enters and exits the battery swap platform, that is, the length direction of the vehicle body when the vehicle is parked on the battery swap platform. The width direction of the battery swap platform is the direction perpendicular to the length direction in the horizontal plane, that is, the width direction of the vehicle body after the vehicle is parked on the battery swap platform.

[0043] It should also be noted that in order to describe the present application more clearly, some structures of the battery swap station are hidden in the accompanying drawings, and the hidden structure does not affect the understanding of the technical solution of the present application.

[0044] First refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the battery swap station of the present application is described.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to solve the problem of space occupation and collision risk of the lifting columns in the existing lifting-type battery swap stations, the battery swap station of the present application includes a battery swap platform 1, a first side wall 2, a second side wall 3, two first lifting devices 4 and two second lifting devices 5. The first side wall 2 and the second side wall 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the battery swap platform 1 along the width direction, and the first side wall 2 and the second side wall 3 are respectively formed with a first accommodating space and a second accommodating space. Each first lifting device 4 includes a first linear drive part 41 and a first transmission part 42, the first linear drive part 41 is connected to the first transmission part 42 and can drive the first transmission part 42 to move up and down in a linear direction, and the two first linear drive parts 41 are respectively arranged in the first accommodating space and the second accommodating space corresponding to each other, and the two first transmission parts 42 extend from the corresponding first accommodating space and the second accommodating space respectively. Each second lifting device 5 includes a second linear drive part and a second transmission part, the second linear drive part is connected to the second transmission part and can drive the second transmission part to move up and down in a linear direction, the two second linear drive parts are respectively arranged in the first accommodating space and the second accommodating space corresponding to each other, and the two second transmission parts extend from the corresponding first accommodating space and the second accommodating space respectively.

[0046] During the battery swapping process, since most of the structures of the two first lifting devices 4 and the two second lifting devices 5 are hidden in the first side wall 2 and the second side wall 3, the vehicle to be replaced can park smoothly and enter the battery swapping platform 1, and the driver can open the door and get off smoothly. In addition, when the vehicle to be replaced is parked and enters the battery swapping platform 1, the driver's field of vision will not be blocked, and there will be no risk of collision due to the exposure of the first lifting device 4 and the second lifting device 5.

[0047] The battery swap station of the present application can hide the lifting device in the first side wall 2 and the second side wall 3 by forming the first accommodating space and the second accommodating space on the first side wall 2 and the second side wall 3, and arranging the first linear drive unit 41 and the second linear drive unit in the first accommodating space and the second accommodating space, thereby effectively reducing the space occupied by the lifting device and avoiding the risk of collision between the vehicle and the lifting device. In addition, by adopting the first linear drive unit 41 and the second linear drive unit as the driving components of the lifting device, compared with other driving methods, the space occupied in the width direction of the battery swap platform 1 is smaller, which makes it possible for the lifting device to be hidden in the first side wall 2 and the second side wall 3.

[0048] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 5 , a possible implementation method of the present application is introduced.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in a possible implementation, the battery swap station includes a battery swap platform 1, a first side wall 2, a second side wall 3, two first lifting devices 4 and two second lifting devices 5.

[0050] See also Figure 3 The battery exchange platform 1 includes a platform body 11, and a front wheel positioning device 12 and a rear wheel positioning device 13 arranged on the platform body 11. The platform body 11 is connected by metal square tubes to form a frame structure, and the front wheel positioning device 12 and the rear wheel positioning device 13 are respectively arranged on both sides of the receipt body along the length direction of the battery exchange platform 1. The front wheel positioning device 12 includes a first frame body 21 and a V-shaped roller group arranged in the first frame body 21, and the rear wheel positioning device 13 includes a second frame body 31 and an I-shaped roller group arranged in the second frame body 31. When the vehicle is parked, the two front wheels of the vehicle are clamped in the V-shaped roller group, and the two rear wheels are supported on the I-shaped roller group. The specific structure of the platform body 11, the front wheel positioning device 12 and the rear wheel positioning device 13 is relatively common in this field and will not be elaborated in this application.

[0051] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2, the first side wall 2 includes a first frame 21 and a first cover plate 22. The first frame 21 is covered with the first cover plate 22 at least on the side facing the battery swap platform 1, and a first accommodation space is formed between the first frame 21 and the first cover plate 22. Among them, the first frame 21 includes a first bottom beam 211 and a first middle beam 212. Both sides of the first frame 21 are covered with the first cover plate 22. The first bottom beam 211, the first middle beam 212 and the two first cover plates 22 are jointly formed to form a first accommodation space. Similarly, the second side wall 3 includes a second frame 31 and a second cover plate 32. The second frame 31 is covered with the second cover plate 32 at least on the side facing the battery swap platform 1, and a second accommodation space is formed between the second frame 31 and the second cover plate 32.

The second bottom beam 311, the second middle beam and the two second cover plates 32 are jointly arranged to form a second accommodating space. In the present application, the first bottom beam 211, the first middle beam 212, the second bottom beam 311 and the second middle beam 312 are all square tubes, and the first cover plate 22 and the second cover plate 32 are selected from metal plates, alloy plates or plastic plates. After setting, the size of the first accommodating space and the second accommodating space are both within the range of 100mm-200mm. Of course, the first frame 21 and the second frame 31 also need other structures to build when necessary. For example, in other possible embodiments, the first frame 21 and the second frame 31 also need top beams, vertical beams, etc. to build. Of course, top beams and vertical beams are not necessary in some embodiments.

[0052] Reference Figures 3 to 5 The two first lifting devices 4 are respectively arranged in the first accommodating space and the second accommodating space, and the two first lifting devices 4 are respectively located on both sides of the front wheel positioning device 12 along the width direction of the battery exchange platform 1.

[0053] Each first lifting device 4 includes a first linear drive unit 41, a first transmission unit 42, a first support 43 and a first guide mechanism 44. The two first supports 43 are fixedly arranged in the first accommodation space and the second accommodation space respectively, the first linear drive unit 41 is fixedly connected to the first support 43, the first linear drive unit 41 is connected to the first transmission unit 42, the two first transmission units 42 are respectively connected to the two ends of the front wheel positioning device 12, and the first guide mechanism 44 is arranged between the first support 43 and the first transmission unit 42. Specifically, taking the first lifting device 4 arranged in the first accommodation space as an example, the bottom of the first support 43 is fixedly connected to the first bottom beam 211, and the top of the first support 43 is fixedly connected to the first middle beam 212, so that the two ends of the first support 43 are fixed. The first support 43 is formed with an installation cavity, and the first linear drive unit 41 uses a hydraulic cylinder, and further uses an oil cylinder, which is fixed at the bottom of the installation cavity. The first transmission part 42 includes a first connecting member 421, a first lifting plate 422, a first adapter seat 423 and a first hinge seat 424. The first connecting member 421 is fixedly connected to the output end of the oil cylinder, the first lifting plate 422 is vertically arranged, the first connecting member 421 is fixedly connected to the first lifting plate 422, two first adapter seats 423 are provided, and the two first adapter seats 423 are fixedly connected to the first lifting plate 422 at the same time, and the first hinge seat 424 is fixedly connected to one end of the first frame 21 of the front wheel positioning device 12 and is hinged to the first adapter seat 423. The first guide mechanism 44 is provided with two sets, each set of the first guide mechanism 44 includes a first slide rail 441 and two first sliders 442, the two first slide rails 441 are fixedly connected to the rear wall of the installation cavity of the first support 43, and the two slide rails are located on both sides of the first linear drive part 41. Two first sliding blocks 442 are installed on each slide rail. The two first sliding blocks 442 are arranged up and down. The four first sliding blocks 442 are fixedly connected to the first lifting plate 422 at the same time.

[0054] Continue to refer to Figure 3 , the two second lifting devices 5 are respectively arranged in the first accommodating space and the second accommodating space, and the two second lifting devices 5 are respectively located on both sides of the rear wheel positioning device 13 along the width direction of the battery swap platform 1. Since the arrangement of the second lifting device 5 is similar to that of the first lifting device 4, the second lifting device 5 is briefly described below.

[0055] Each second lifting device 5 includes a second linear drive unit, a second transmission unit, a second support and a second guide mechanism. The two second supports are fixedly arranged in the first accommodating space and the second accommodating space respectively, the second linear drive unit is fixedly connected to the second support, the second linear drive unit is connected to the second transmission unit, the two second transmission units are respectively connected to the two ends of the rear wheel positioning device 13, and the second guide mechanism is arranged between the second support and the second transmission unit. Specifically, taking the second lifting device 5 arranged in the second accommodating space as an example, the bottom of the second support is fixedly connected to the second bottom beam 311, and the top of the second support is fixedly connected to the second middle beam 312, so that the two ends of the second support are fixed. The second support is formed with an installation cavity, and the second linear drive unit uses a hydraulic cylinder, and further uses an oil cylinder, which is fixed at the bottom of the installation cavity. The second transmission unit includes a second connecting member, a second lifting plate, a second adapter seat and a second hinge seat. The second connecting member is fixedly connected to the output end of the oil cylinder, the second lifting plate is vertically arranged, the second connecting member is fixedly connected to the second lifting plate, two second adapters are arranged, and the two second adapters are fixedly connected to the second lifting plate at the same time, and the second hinge seat is fixedly connected to one end of the second frame 31 of the rear wheel positioning device 13 and is hinged to the second adapter. Two sets of second guide mechanisms are arranged, each set of second guide mechanisms includes a second slide rail and two second sliders, the two second slide rails are fixedly connected to the rear wall of the mounting cavity of the second support, and the two slide rails are located on both sides of the second linear drive unit. Two second sliders are installed on each slide rail, the two second sliders are arranged up and down, and the four second sliders are fixedly connected to the second lifting plate at the same time.

[0056] In this way, when the vehicle needs to be lifted, the two first lifting devices 4 and the two second lifting devices 5 are operated simultaneously, and the output end of the first linear driving unit 41 rises, thereby driving the first lifting plate 422, the first adapter seat 423 and the first hinge seat 424 to rise through the first connecting member 421, and the first hinge seat 424 drives the first frame connected thereto to rise, and finally the two first lifting devices 4 drive the front wheel positioning device 12 to rise. At the same time, the output end of the second front driving unit rises, thereby driving the second lifting plate, the second adapter seat and the second hinge seat to rise through the second connecting member, and the second hinge seat drives the second frame connected thereto to rise, and finally the two second lifting devices 5 drive the rear wheel positioning device 13 to rise.

[0057] By setting a first support 43 and a second support, and fixing a first support 43 and a second support between the first middle beam 212 and the first bottom beam 211, and fixing a first support 43 and a second support between the second middle beam 312 and the second bottom beam 311, the connection stability of the first support 43 and the second support can be improved. By setting a first guide mechanism 44 and a second guide mechanism, it is possible to provide guidance for the lifting and lowering movement of the first transmission part 42 and the second transmission part, thereby improving the movement accuracy and stability of the first transmission part 42 and the second transmission part. By connecting the two first transmission parts 42 to the two ends of the front wheel positioning device 12, and connecting the two second transmission parts to the two ends of the rear wheel positioning device 13, the front wheel positioning device 12 and the rear wheel positioning device 13 can be used to realize the lifting function of the vehicle, thereby improving the stability of the vehicle lifting process. The first linear drive part 41 and the second linear drive part use hydraulic cylinders, which can minimize the space occupied in the width direction of the battery exchange platform 1.

[0058] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first cover plate 22 of the first frame 21 facing the battery swap platform 1 is provided with a first avoidance groove 221 and a third avoidance groove 222, the second cover plate 32 of the second frame 31 facing the battery swap platform 1 is provided with a second avoidance groove 321 and a fourth avoidance groove 322, the first adapter seats 423 of the two first transmission parts 42 extend from the first avoidance groove 221 and the second avoidance groove 321 respectively, and the second adapter seats of the two second transmission parts extend from the third avoidance groove 222 and the fourth avoidance groove 322 respectively. Therefore, when the first lifting device 4 and the second lifting device 5 lift the vehicle, the first adapter seat 423 and the second adapter seat slide in the corresponding avoidance grooves respectively.

[0059] The arrangement of the avoidance groove can avoid interference with the first transmission part 42 and the second transmission part during the lifting process.

[0060] It should be noted that the above preferred implementations are only used to illustrate the principles of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Without departing from the principles of the present application, those skilled in the art may adjust the above settings so that the present application can be applied to more specific application scenarios.

[0061] For example, in an alternative embodiment, although the above embodiment is introduced by taking the two first lifting devices 4 connected to the two ends of the front wheel alignment device 12 and the two second lifting devices 5 connected to the two ends of the rear wheel alignment device 13 as an example, this is only a possible embodiment. In other embodiments, the first transmission part 42 of the first lifting device 4 and the second transmission part of the second lifting device 5 can also be respectively connected to a lifting plate to lift the door sill of the vehicle.

[0062] For another example, in another replaceable embodiment, the specific composition of the first side wall 2 and the second side wall 3 is not fixed. On the premise that the two can form an accommodation space, the technicians in this field can adjust the specific composition of the first side wall 2 and the second side wall 3. For example, the first side wall 2 can be provided with a first cover plate 22 only on the side facing the battery exchange platform 1, and the second side wall 3 can also be provided with a second cover plate 32 only on the side facing the battery exchange platform 1. For another example, the first side wall 2 can be provided with a first middle beam 212, as long as the first support 43 can be stably installed on the first bottom beam 211. For another example, the first side wall 2 can also be provided with a first avoidance groove 221 and a third avoidance groove 222, but a avoidance hole that can cover the width and height of the first transmission part 42 is provided, or a baffle is provided on the first transmission part 42, so that the baffle rises and falls with the first transmission part 42. The replaceable manner of the second side wall 3 is similar to that of the first side wall 2, and will not be repeated.

[0063] For another example, in another alternative embodiment, although the above embodiment is described in conjunction with the first lifting device 4 including the first support 43, the first support 43 is not required. On the premise that the first linear drive unit 41 can be stably connected to the first bottom beam 211, the first support 43 can be omitted. In addition, when the first support 43 is provided, the specific structural form of the first support 43 is not unique, and those skilled in the art can adjust it. For example, the first support 43 can be an L-shaped plate without a receiving cavity. Similarly, the second support can also be omitted.

[0064] For another example, in another replaceable embodiment, the specific setting form of the first transmission part 42 is not unique, and the setting mode in the above embodiment is only exemplary, and those skilled in the art can adjust it based on needs. For example, the structure of the first connecting member 421 can also be adjusted to any form, and the first connecting member 421 can also be integrally formed with the first lifting plate 422. For another example, only one first adapter seat 423 can be provided, or any one of the first hinge seat 424, the first lifting plate 422, and the first adapter seat 423 can be omitted. The replaceable mode of the second transmission part is similar to this, and will not be repeated.

[0065] For another example, in another alternative embodiment, the first guide mechanism 44 is not required, and those skilled in the art can select the specific structural form, the number of settings, and the location of the first guide mechanism 44 based on the specific application scenario. For example, the first guide mechanism 44 can be omitted; for another example, when the first guide mechanism 44 is set, only one set of the first guide mechanism 44 can be set, and the number of sliders on each set of the first guide mechanism 44 can be one or more. In addition to the slide rail slider assembly, the first guide mechanism 44 can also use a slide groove slider, a slide rod slider, etc. The setting method of the second guide mechanism is similar to this, and will not be repeated.

[0066] For another example, in another replaceable embodiment, the specific configuration of the front wheel alignment device 12 and the rear wheel alignment device 13 is not unique, and those skilled in the art can adjust it so that the present application can be applied to more specific application scenarios. For example, the first frame 21 of the front wheel alignment device 12 can be adjusted to other shapes; for another example, in addition to the V-shaped roller group, the first frame 21 can also be interchangeable with the I-shaped roller group. Similarly, those skilled in the art can also make the above adjustments to the specific configuration of the rear wheel alignment device 13.

[0067] For another example, in another alternative embodiment, although the above embodiment is described in conjunction with the first linear drive unit 41 and the second linear drive unit being both hydraulic cylinders, the specific forms of the first linear drive unit 41 and the second linear drive unit are not limited thereto, and those skilled in the art can adjust them as long as the first linear drive unit 41 and the second linear drive unit meet the condition that the output end moves linearly. For example, one or both of the first linear drive unit 41 and the second linear drive unit can also be replaced by a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder.

[0068] Of course, the above-mentioned replaceable implementations, as well as the replaceable implementations and the preferred implementations, can be used in a cross-coordinated manner to combine new implementations to suit more specific application scenarios.

[0069] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that, although some embodiments described herein include certain features included in other embodiments but not other features, the combination of features of different embodiments is meant to be within the scope of the present application and form different embodiments. For example, in the claims of the present application, any one of the claimed embodiments may be used in any combination.

[0070] So far, the technical solutions of the present application have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of the present application, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will fall within the protection scope of the present application.
