[0056] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0057] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meanings as those commonly understood by technicians in the technical field of this application; the terms used in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application; the terms "including" and "having" in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned drawings and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of this application or the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order or a primary and secondary relationship.

[0058] Reference to "embodiment" in this application means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0059] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", and "attached" 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 elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0060] The term "and / or" in this application is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this application generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0061] In the embodiments of the present application, the same reference numerals represent the same components, and for the sake of brevity, detailed descriptions of the same components are omitted in different embodiments. It should be understood that the thickness, length, width and other dimensions of various components in the embodiments of the present application shown in the drawings, as well as the overall thickness, length, width and other dimensions of the integrated device are only exemplary descriptions and should not constitute any limitation to the present application.

[0062] The term "plurality" used in the present application refers to two or more (including two).

[0063] With the continuous development of battery technology, the application scenarios of batteries are also increasing. How to quickly replenish the battery's energy has become one of the factors limiting the promotion of batteries. According to the principle of energy storage in the battery itself, the battery needs to be replenished periodically, and the battery replenishes energy for a long time through charging. Therefore, by directly replacing the battery for the power-consuming device and replacing the worn-out battery with a fully charged battery, the efficiency of replenishing energy for the power-consuming device can be effectively improved. Therefore, battery swap stations came into being and are becoming more and more popular in life. Battery swap stations are energy stations that provide charging and rapid replacement of power batteries for electric vehicles. With the large-scale layout of battery swap stations, the battery swap efficiency of battery swap stations has also received more and more widespread attention.

[0064] In order to improve the efficiency of battery replacement, the battery exchange platform is provided with a channel, and the battery exchange device disassembles and assembles the battery of the power-consuming device through the channel. Before the battery exchange device disassembles and assembles the battery of the power-consuming device, the movable plate closes the channel to facilitate the movement of the power-consuming device to the battery exchange platform and reduce the probability of the power-consuming device falling into the channel during movement. After the power-consuming device is moved to the power exchange platform, the movable plate avoids the channel to facilitate the battery exchange device to disassemble and assemble the battery of the power-consuming device through the channel. However, the movable plate is opened to a large extent and occupies more space, resulting in a larger footprint of the power exchange platform. In addition, the movable plate is usually manually operated, which is not only labor-intensive, but also reduces the efficiency of battery exchange, thereby reducing the convenience of the power exchange station. The above statements are only used to provide background technical information related to the present application and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0065] In view of the above problems, the inventor has proposed a battery swap platform for a battery swap station after in-depth research. The driving mechanism drives the movable plate to move through the connecting rod assembly to close or avoid the channel, thereby realizing the switching of the battery swap platform between the two states. Its structure is simple, safe and reliable, and it also improves the convenience of using the battery swap platform. Moreover, in the avoidance state, the movable plate is at least partially hidden on the side of the support plate away from the power-consuming device, reducing the size and activity space of the movable plate, thereby reducing the overall footprint of the battery swap platform. Moreover, the reduction in the activity space of the battery swap platform also improves the efficiency of the coordinated action of other mechanisms. Applying the battery swap platform to the battery swap station can improve the overall battery swap efficiency of the battery swap station.

[0066] The battery swap platform and battery swap station disclosed in the embodiments of the present application can be used, but not limited to, to replace the battery of a vehicle. The vehicle can be a fuel vehicle, a gas vehicle or a new energy vehicle, and the new energy vehicle can be a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle or an extended-range vehicle, etc.

The vehicle 1000 may also include a controller 200 and a motor 300, and the controller 200 is used to control the battery 100 to power the motor 300, for example, for starting, navigating and driving the vehicle 1000.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present application, the battery 100 can not only serve as an operating power source for the vehicle 1000, but also serve as a driving power source for the vehicle 1000, replacing or partially replacing fuel or natural gas to provide driving power for the vehicle 1000.

The driving mechanism 14 is connected to the connecting rod assembly 13, and the driving mechanism 14 is configured to drive the movable plate 12 to move through the connecting rod assembly 13 to close or avoid the channel 111, wherein, in the avoidance state, the movable plate 12 is at least partially hidden on the side of the support plate 11 away from the electrical device.

[0088] The support plate 11 can directly support the electric device, or indirectly support the electric device through other components installed on the support plate 11.
