[0051] According to a battery-swap heavy-duty truck power battery pack 10 provided in this embodiment, the working principle of the battery-swap heavy-duty truck power battery pack 10 is: the battery pack power-swap push-pull force points and the quick-change electrical plug-in 300 and the quick-change water pipe connector 310 are all arranged at the bottom, and the quick-change plug-in is evenly stressed when pushing the battery box during the power-swap process, and is not easily deformed or damaged.
