[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the examples of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "lateral", "longitudinal", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0030] The terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first", "second", and "third" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0031] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0032] In order to solve the technical problem of inaccurate battery connection positioning in an electric vehicle battery replacement system in the prior art, the present application provides a battery storage and charging device and a charging system for an electric vehicle battery replacement system.

[0033] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 In a possible implementation, the utility model provides a battery storage and charging device for an electric vehicle battery replacement system, including a battery rack 203, a side barrier strip 22, a Furley wheel guide rail 23, a positioning device 24, a flexible charging plug assembly 25 and an automatic anti-retraction device 21, which realizes efficient storage and rapid charging of a battery 301.

[0034] The battery rack 203 constitutes the main structure of the battery storage and charging device, and is composed of transverse and longitudinal frames. Such a configuration not only provides structural stability, but also allows multiple batteries to be stored and charged at the same time. Between the two transverse frames of the battery rack, two corresponding side baffle smooth strips 22 are installed. These strips can effectively guide the batteries to the correct position in the charging device.

[0035] A Furley wheel guide rail 23 is installed between every two side barrier smooth bars 22. The guide rail is equipped with a number of Furley wheels. These wheels support the battery 301 to move in and out easily along the guide rail. The setting of the Furley wheels reduces the friction when the battery moves, making the battery placement and removal process smoother.

[0036] The battery rack 203 is also provided with an automatic anti-retraction device 21, which is located between two side barrier strips 22 and is used to prevent the battery from sliding back after it is in place, thereby ensuring the stability of the battery during the charging process.

[0037] The flexible charging plug assembly 25 is configured as a resiliently movable charging head that can be aligned with and connected to the charging port of the battery 301, so that the charging plug can adapt to battery charging ports in different positions, thereby improving the flexibility and reliability of charging. The flexible charging plug assembly 25 is placed on the battery rack 203, relative to the other end of the automatic anti-retraction device 21.

[0038] The positioning device 24 is installed on the battery rack 203 and is arranged corresponding to the flexible charging plug assembly 25. Its main function is to guide the battery 301 to be correctly connected to the flexible charging plug assembly 25 to ensure the accuracy and safety of the charging connection.

[0039] The battery storage and charging device of the electric vehicle battery replacement system of the utility model, firstly, greatly reduces the friction of the battery moving in and out through the provision of the side barrier smoothness strips and the Furley wheel guide rails, thereby improving the smoothness of operation; secondly, the automatic anti-retraction device ensures the stability of the battery during the charging process, and prevents the battery from being poorly connected due to accidental movement; in addition, the provision of the flexible charging plug assembly enhances the adaptability of the charging interface. If there is a slight deviation when the battery is stored, but the positioning mechanism has not yet taken effect, the flexible charging plug assembly is used to compensate for the error, so that the charging plug and the battery plug are docked, thereby improving the charging efficiency and reliability; finally, the addition of the positioning device further ensures the precise docking of the battery and the charging plug, thereby reducing errors during operation.

[0040] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In a possible implementation, the flexible charging plug assembly 25 includes: a charging head 25.1 connected to the charging interface of the charged object; a mounting plate 25.9, the charging head 25.1 is mounted on one side of the mounting plate 25.9, and a slot for accommodating a mounting head at one end of a guide column 25.7 is provided on the other side of the mounting plate 25.9; the mounting head at one end of the guide column 25.7 is placed in the slot of the mounting plate 25.9; a pressing plate 25.8 is connected to the mounting plate 25.9, and the limiting guide column 25 .7's mounting head is in the slot of the mounting plate 25.9; the other end of the guide column 25.7 passes through the shaft sleeve 25.6 and is sleeved with a stopper 25.4; the guide column 25.7 is provided with a cotter pin 25.5 at the outer end of the stopper 25.4, and the cotter pin 25.5 prevents the guide column 25.7 from falling off from the stopper 25.4; the shaft sleeve 25.6 is installed on the charging plug socket 25.3; the plug spring 25.2 is sleeved outside the guide column 25.7 and is placed between the pressure plate 25.8 and the shaft sleeve 25.6.

[0041] In this embodiment, the charging head 25.1 is fixed by the mounting plate 25.9 to ensure a stable connection with the interface of the charged object. The guide column 25.7 is combined with the slot of the mounting plate 25.9 through the pressure plate 25.8, providing the necessary guiding and supporting functions to ensure the stability and reliability of the entire plug assembly during use. The plug spring 25.2 provides the necessary tension to keep the guide column 25.7 in the appropriate position, while allowing a certain degree of elastic adjustment to adapt to different installation and operating conditions.

[0042] This embodiment improves the operational flexibility and durability of the plug assembly by integrating the guide column 25.7 and the plug spring 25.2. The cotter pin 25.5 prevents the guide column 25.7 from falling off under severe operating conditions, ensuring the safety and reliability of the system. In addition, the structural setting of the entire assembly optimizes the stability of the electrical connection, reduces maintenance costs, and improves ease of use.

[0043] In a possible implementation, the guide post 25.7 can slide along the shaft sleeve 25.6.

[0044] The sliding ability of the guide column 25.7 inside the sleeve 25.6 allows the plug assembly to adapt to different installation angles and positions. If there is a slight deviation when the battery is stored, but the positioning mechanism has not yet taken effect, the flexible charging plug assembly is used to compensate for the error and enable the charging plug to dock with the battery plug; this improves the adaptability and user-friendliness of the plug assembly, especially in emergency or non-standard battery replacement operations, and can effectively reduce the difficulty and time of operation.

[0045] In a possible embodiment, the mounting head at one end of the guide column 25.7 has a ball head, and the ball head can rotate in a ball socket on the mounting plate 25.9.

[0046] The setting of the ball head allows one end of the guide column 25.7 to rotate in multiple directions on the mounting plate 25.9, which increases the flexibility during connection and enables the plug to be more easily aligned and connected to the charging port of the battery compartment; it reduces the mechanical stress caused by installation errors, thereby extending the service life of the plug assembly.

[0047] In a possible implementation, two guide columns 25.7 are provided, which are provided on both sides relative to the charging head 25.1.

[0048] Two guide posts 25.7 are used, located on either side of the charging head 25.1, to provide better balance and support for the plug assembly; this helps to evenly distribute the mechanical load from the battery compartment to the charging head, thereby improving overall stability and reliability.

[0049] In a possible implementation, a gap is provided between the pressure plate 25.8 and the column 25.7, such as Figure 3a As shown in position a, adjust the offset angle of the charging head.

[0050] The gap is set to allow the ball head connected to the guide column 25.7 to rotate in the ball socket, so that the charging head 25.1 can adjust its angle as needed during the connection process to better align with the charging interface of the battery compartment. The gap formed by the drilled hole on the pressure plate 25.8 and the guide column 25.7 is the range within which the guide column can be offset; the adjustable setting significantly improves the docking flexibility of the charging head and reduces the risk of physical damage caused by improper docking, especially in the automatic battery replacement system, thereby improving the efficiency and safety of operation.

[0051] See also Figure 1The automatic back-stop device 21 includes: a baffle 21.1, a first connecting rod 21.2, a second connecting rod 21.3, a pressure wheel 21.4, a back-stop spring 21.5 and a back-stop seat 21.6; wherein, one end of the baffle 21.1 is connected to the back-stop seat 21.6 through a pin shaft, and the other end is connected to the first connecting rod 21.2; the baffle 21.1 is not connected to the other end of the back-stop seat 21.6, and a back-stop spring 21.5 is provided below, and the back-stop spring 21.5 is installed on the back-stop seat 21.6 below the baffle 21.1, and the baffle 21.1 is lifted under the action of the back-stop spring. One end of the first connecting rod 21.2 is connected to the second connecting rod 21.3 through a pin shaft, and the other end is connected to the middle part of the second connecting rod through a pin shaft. The pressure wheel is connected to one end of the second connecting rod, and the other end of the second connecting rod is installed on the back-stop seat through a pin shaft. When the pressing wheel rotates along the pin shaft connected to the stop seat, the second connecting rod and the first connecting rod are driven to move, and the blocking piece connected to the first connecting rod is driven to be pressed.

[0052] Baffle 21.1: It is automatically lifted up after the battery passes through to prevent the battery from moving backward.

[0053] The first connecting rod 21.2 and the second connecting rod 21.3 transmit the power of the pressing wheel 21.4 to control the lifting and pressing of the baffle.

[0054] Pressure wheel 21.4: receives external force such as the push of electric push rod III 28, and converts the force into the movement of the baffle.

[0055] Stop spring 21.5: provides restoring force for the baffle to ensure that it can automatically return to the initial position when no external force is applied, thereby increasing the response speed and reliability of the system.

[0056] During operation, the pressing wheel 21.4 is pushed manually or by the electric push rod III 28, and the pressing wheel rotates to drive the second connecting rod 21.3, and then pushes the first connecting rod 21.2, and finally the blocking piece 21.1 moves from the stop seat 21.6 to the pressing position. After the battery passes through the blocking piece 21.1, the blocking piece can automatically lift up to prevent the battery from retreating.

[0057] In the above scheme, the automatic anti-retraction device of the battery compartment of the electric vehicle battery replacement system adopts a complex mechanical linkage system to achieve efficient and safe battery positioning and prevent the battery from accidentally moving. The baffle 21.1 is mechanically connected to the anti-retraction seat 21.6 and connected to the pressure wheel 21.4 through the first connecting rod 21.2, allowing it to move when the pressure wheel is subjected to external driving force, and automatically return to the initial blocking position by the restoring force provided by the anti-retraction spring 21.5 without external force. This setting ensures that the baffle can be lifted immediately after the battery passes through to prevent the battery from retreating, improves the convenience and efficiency of operation, and ensures safety and reliability during operation.

[0058] In a possible implementation, the device is installed behind the object 30 when it is moving. When the baffle 21.1 is pressed, the plane of the baffle after pressing is flush with the moving plane of the object 30, and the object moves along the pressing direction.

[0059] By adjusting the lifting and pressing of the baffle 21.1, the smoothness and safety of the battery replacement process is ensured, while the intervention of the operator is reduced and the automation level of the entire system is improved.

[0060] In a possible implementation, after the object 30 passes through, the blocking piece 21.1 is bounced up by the stop spring 21.5 to prevent the object from retreating, so that the blocking piece prevents the object from retreating.

[0061] When an object 30, such as a battery or other related components, passes through the baffle 21.1, the baffle will automatically rise due to the action of the stop spring 21.5 to prevent the object 30 from moving in the opposite direction. This automatic rebound mechanism ensures that after the object passes through the baffle, it will not accidentally retreat due to any external factors such as machine vibration.

[0062] This automatic locking function enhances the safety of the electric vehicle battery replacement system, ensures the stability of the battery during charging or replacement, and prevents accidental falling off or displacement, thereby protecting the safety of operators and equipment.

[0063] In a possible implementation manner, the pressure wheel 21.4 is fixedly connected to the second connecting rod via a connecting piece.

[0064] The connection between the pressure wheel 21.4 and the second connecting rod 21.3 is achieved through a fixed connecting piece. This connection mode provides a stable and strong structure, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the transmission during the process of the pressure wheel pushing the baffle 21.1 to press together.

[0065] By using fixed connections, the mechanical strength and durability of the entire system are improved, especially in high-load and high-frequency operating environments, increasing the reliability of the equipment.

[0066] Fixed connectors can be replaced with adjustable connectors or quick-release connectors as needed to facilitate maintenance and adjustment to meet different working conditions and maintenance requirements.

[0067] In a possible implementation, the pressure wheel 21.4 is connected to the second connecting rod 21.3 via a pin.

[0068] Through the pin connection, the pressure wheel 21.4 and the second connecting rod 21.3 can achieve relative rotation. This connection mode provides a certain flexibility, allowing the pressure wheel 21.4 to automatically adjust its angle according to the position of the baffle 21.1 during the pushing process.

[0069] In one possible implementation, the object 30 is a battery.

[0070] Object 30 is a battery, and the device is used in an electric vehicle battery replacement system.

[0071] In a possible implementation, an automatic charging system for a battery compartment of an electric vehicle battery replacement system is provided. Figure 2 , including an electric push rod III28, which is arranged corresponding to the automatic anti-recoil device of the battery compartment of the electric vehicle battery replacement system, that is, the automatic anti-recoil device 21 in the figure. The electric push rod III28 is controlled to push the pressure wheel, and the forward pushing action of the pressure wheel drives the movement of the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod, so that the baffle is pressed and flush with the moving plane of the object, allowing the object to pass over the baffle.

[0072] The electric push rod III28 is controlled by the electronic control system, providing a power source so that the pressure wheel 21.4 can be pushed as needed to achieve automatic baffle pressing and releasing, simplifying the operating process and improving the response speed and accuracy of the system.

[0073] By integrating the electric push rod III28, the device improves the automation level of the battery replacement process, reduces manual operations, and improves the efficiency and safety of battery replacement.

[0074] The electric push rod III28 can be replaced with different types of electric or hydraulic drive devices as needed to adapt to different operating speed and torque requirements, or choose a more suitable drive mode according to different working environments, such as using a hydraulic system in an explosion-proof environment.

[0075] See also Figure 5 In a possible implementation, it also includes: a positioning device 24, installed at the rear end of the battery compartment 302, corresponding to the battery 301, and used to guide the battery 301 to connect to the charging head 25.1.

[0076] The beneficial effects of the battery compartment automatic charging system of the electric vehicle battery replacement system of the present application are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

[0077] Improved safety: The device automatically rises after the battery passes through an automatic baffle mechanism to prevent the battery from accidentally rolling back, significantly improving the safety of the battery replacement process. The setting to prevent the battery from rolling back reduces the risk during the operation and ensures the safety of the operator and equipment.

[0078] Convenience of operation: Through the automated control system, such as the use of the electric push rod III28 and the pressure wheel mechanism, the system can automatically adjust the position of the baffle, reducing the need for manual operation and improving the convenience and efficiency of the battery replacement operation.

[0079] Structural stability: By adopting pin connection or fixed connecting parts, the connection between the pressure wheel and the connecting rod is ensured to be firm and reliable, which increases the mechanical strength and durability of the entire device, so that the device can adapt to continuous high-frequency operation without being easily damaged.

[0080] High degree of automation: The automation setting of the entire system reduces the possibility of human operation errors, improves the operating efficiency of the battery swap station and the battery swap speed, and can significantly improve service capabilities and response speed, especially in high-demand commercial operation environments.

[0081] The battery storage and charging device of the electric vehicle battery replacement system of the utility model includes: an automatic anti-retraction device 21, a battery rack 203, a side barrier smooth bar 22, a Furley wheel guide rail 23, a battery 301, a flexible charging plug assembly 25, and a positioning device 24; each assembly is installed and connected by screws. When placing the battery 301, the battery 301 presses down the automatic anti-retraction device 21 at the entrance and slowly transports it into the battery rack 203. When the battery 301 completely enters the battery rack 203 position, the automatic anti-retraction device baffle 21.1 at the entrance directly pops up without being pressed by the battery 301, and the positioning device 24 at the rear end of the battery rack 203 centers the battery 301. At this time, the charging head 25.1 of the flexible charging plug assembly 25 can be aligned with the charging port of the battery 301. Under the action of the plug spring 25.2 inside the flexible charging plug assembly 25, the charging head of the flexible charging plug assembly 25 is aligned and connected with the charging interface of the battery 301. The remaining spring force pushes the battery 301 backwards, causing it to contact the baffle 21.1 of the automatic anti-retraction device 21, thereby completing the self-locking of the battery 301. When taking out the battery 301, the external component presses the pressure wheel 21.4 of the automatic anti-retraction device 21 to press down the baffle of the automatic anti-retraction device 21, and the external component grabs the handle of the battery 301 to pull out the battery 301. When the external component leaves, the pressure wheel 21.4 of the automatic anti-retraction device 21 is no longer pressed, and the baffle of the automatic anti-retraction device 21 automatically rebounds, and the process of taking and placing the battery and completing the charging is completed.

[0082] Based on the front-end battery replacement mode, the utility model replaces the power element of the battery storage device with a linkage of mechanical structure, combines the guide adjustment position of the smooth strip and Furley wheel equipped with the battery replacement trolley and the battery storage device, and uses mechanical means to complete the horizontal positioning and unlocking and removal of the battery, which saves energy, reduces the cost of landing at the station, and brings convenience to the staff.

[0083] Finally, it should be noted that: the various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. The same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other.

[0084] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present application rather than to limit it. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the relevant field should understand that the specific implementation methods of the present application can still be modified or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of the present application, which should be included in the scope of the technical solution requested for protection in the present application.
