Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of energy replenishment, and in particular to an energy charging device and an energy replenishment station. Background Art

[0002] With the development and application of new energy vehicle technology, vehicle energy replenishment methods have expanded to a wider range, such as battery swapping to replace fixed battery installation technology, and the rapid replacement of hydrogen storage tanks in new energy vehicles using hydrogen as fuel. However, whether using electricity or hydrogen as the energy source to power the vehicle, the current energy replenishment interfaces are not standardized due to the different requirements of the application scenarios, for example, in the field of heavy-duty truck battery swapping.

[0003] Currently, the electrical interfaces for heavy-duty truck battery swap systems primarily include single-connector and quad-connector models. For a heavy-duty truck battery swap station that supports both quad-connector and single-connector battery swaps, both quad-connector and single-connector charging racks are currently (generally) used. Each type of rack is configured with a specific number of zones, and the two racks are independent of each other.

[0004] This solution has the following problems:

[0005] 1. The existing charging racks on the market can only accommodate one type of battery. Therefore, battery swap stations must be equipped with two types of charging racks to meet market demand. This will inevitably lead to an increase in the number of charging racks in battery swap stations, which will increase the space, power distribution capacity, and investment costs of battery swap stations.

[0006] 2. Currently, the operating environment of battery swap stations and the working environment of heavy trucks are poor. The battery swap batteries often carry sewage, dust, etc., which will cause pollution or damage to the connection of the carrier connector during the battery swap process, affecting its function. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to at least solve the problem that existing charging racks cannot be compatible with both four-connector and single-connector charging modes. This purpose is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] The utility model provides an energy charging device for charging energy equipment provided with an energy inlet, the energy charging device comprising:

[0009] a first charging component, wherein the first charging component has a first interface;

[0010] a second energy charging component, the second energy charging component having a second interface and a coolant exchange interface;

[0011] The first interface and the second interface can both be connected to a charging device, and the coolant exchange interface can be connected to a thermal management system;

[0012] The energy charging device has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the first energy charging component is in a first working position, the first interface is connectable to an energy device having an energy inlet matching the first interface, and the second energy charging component is in a second avoidance position.

Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0067] It should be understood that the terms used herein are for the purpose of describing specific example embodiments only and are not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an", and "said" as used herein may also be meant to include the plural forms. The terms "comprises", "includes", "contains", and "have" are inclusive and therefore specify the presence of the stated features, steps, operations, elements and / or charging components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, charging components, and / or combinations thereof. The method steps, processes, and operations described herein are not to be construed as necessarily requiring them to be performed in the particular order described or illustrated, unless the order of execution is explicitly indicated.

Such spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, an element described as "below" or "beneath" another element or feature would then be oriented "above" or "above" the other element or feature. Thus, the example term "below" can encompass both above and below orientations.

[0070] With the development and application of new energy vehicle technology, vehicle energy replenishment methods have expanded to a wider range, such as battery swapping to replace fixed battery installation technology, and the rapid replacement of hydrogen storage tanks in new energy vehicles using hydrogen as fuel. However, whether using electricity or hydrogen as the energy source to power the vehicle, the current energy replenishment interfaces are not standardized due to the different requirements of the application scenarios, for example, in the field of heavy-duty truck battery swapping.

[0071] Currently, the electrical interface of heavy-duty truck battery swap systems has two modes: single connector and four connector. For a heavy-duty truck battery swap station that serves both four-connector and single-connector battery swaps, the current (general) use of two charging rack modes is four-connector and single-connector. Each type of charging rack is configured according to a certain number of zones, and the two charging racks are independent of each other.

[0072] This solution has the following problems:

[0073] 1. The existing charging racks on the market can only accommodate one type of battery. Therefore, battery swap stations must be equipped with two types of charging racks to meet market demand. This will inevitably lead to an increase in the number of charging racks in battery swap stations, which will increase the space, power distribution capacity, and investment costs of battery swap stations.

[0074] 2. The market share of single-connector batteries and four-connector batteries is unbalanced, resulting in an imbalance in the service rates of the two types of batteries at some battery swap stations. Operators have to consider the ratio of the two configurations of charging racks, which makes investment decisions more difficult and risky.

[0075] 3. Currently, the operating environment of battery swap stations and the working environment of heavy trucks are poor. The battery swaps often carry sewage, dust, etc., which may cause pollution or damage to the connector joints of the onboard machine during the battery swap process, affecting its function.

[0076] In order to solve the above problems, the present application proposes a charging device 1000 for charging energy equipment provided with an energy inlet, thereby at least solving the problem that the existing charging rack cannot be compatible with both four-connector and single-connector charging modes at the same time.

[0077] In terms of overall design, Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the charging device 1000 includes a first charging component 100 and a second charging component 200. The first charging component 100 has a first interface 10, and the second charging component 200 has a second interface 20 and a coolant exchange interface 30. Both the first interface 10 and the second interface 20 can be connected to the charging device, and the coolant exchange interface 30 can be connected to the thermal management system.

[0078] Furthermore, the energy charging device 1000 has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the first energy charging component 100 is in a first working position, the first interface 10 can be connected to an energy device having a first number of energy inlets, and the second energy charging component 200 is in a second avoidance position.

[0079] In the second state, the first charging component 100 is in the first avoidance position, the second charging component 200 is in the second working position, the second interface 20 is connected to the energy device with a second number of energy inlets, and the coolant exchange interface 30 is connected to the coolant input interface of the energy device.

[0080] Furthermore, the first quantity is different from the second quantity, the orientation of the first interface 10 in the first working position is different from the orientation of the first interface 10 in the first avoidance position, the orientation of the second interface 20 in the second working position is different from the orientation of the second interface 20 in the second avoidance position, and the orientation of the coolant exchange interface 30 in the second working position is different from the orientation of the coolant exchange interface 30 in the second avoidance position.

[0081] Specifically, by setting the first charging component 100 and the second charging component 200 so that they can be selected for use, and since the first quantity and the second quantity are different, the charging device 1000 can charge different types of energy equipment separately, which helps to improve the applicability of the charging device 1000 and solve the problem that the existing charging rack cannot be compatible with both four-connector and single-connector charging modes at the same time.

[0082] At the same time, by limiting the orientation of the first interface 10 in the first working position to be different from that in the second avoidance position, the orientation of the second interface 20 and the coolant exchange interface 30 in the second working position to be different from that in the second avoidance position, so that the first charging component 100 and the second charging component 200 can be switched between the working position and the avoidance position by rotating the first charging component 100 and the second charging component 200. On the one hand, it can effectively reduce the contact between the first interface 10 and the external environment, thereby avoiding sewage, dust, etc. from causing pollution or damage to the four connectors or single connector and the coolant exchange interface 30 during the battery replacement process, affecting their functions, and helping to improve the safety of the charging device; on the other hand, it helps to avoid mutual interference between the first charging component 100 and the second charging component 200 during movement and use, and effectively improve the space utilization of the charging station.

[0083] It needs to be understood that in the existing heavy-duty truck battery replacement field, there are four-connector battery boxes and single-connector battery boxes. Among them, the bottom of the four-connector battery box is provided with four charging interfaces (energy inlets) aligned in pairs in the vertical direction. In the case of low power, the user can only send the four-connector battery box to a charging base with four charging interfaces for charging, and the single-connector battery box can only be sent to a charging base with a single charging interface for charging.

[0084] In an embodiment of the present invention, the first charging component 100 can be a four-connector charging seat, which can be matched with a four-connector battery, and thus can charge a vehicle equipped with a four-connector battery. The second charging component 200 can be a single-connector charging seat, and the coolant exchange interface 30 is a water-cooled connector seat. The second charging component 200 can be matched with a single-connector battery, and thus can charge a vehicle equipped with a single-connector battery, so that the charging device 1000 can be compatible with both four connectors and a single connector, and can switch connectors in real time according to the type of battery to meet the charging needs of batteries with different connectors.

[0085] In the first state of the charging device 1000, the first charging component 100 is located in the first working position, the first interface 10 has a first orientation, the second charging component 200 is located in the second avoidance position, the second interface 20 has a third orientation, and the coolant exchange interface 30 has a fourth orientation. In the second state of the charging device 1000, the first charging component 100 is located in the first avoidance position, the first interface 10 has a second orientation, the second charging component 200 is located in the second working position, and at this time, the orientation of the second interface 20 and the orientation of the coolant exchange interface 30 are both the first orientation. Among them, the first orientation is set at an angle to the second orientation, the first orientation is set at an angle to the third orientation, and the first orientation is set at an angle to the fourth orientation. Such a setting can effectively reduce the contact between the first interface 10 and the external environment, thereby preventing sewage, dust, etc. from causing pollution or damage to the four connectors or the single connector and the coolant exchange interface 30 during the battery replacement process, which helps to improve the safety of the charging device.

[0086] It should be pointed out that the first interface 10 and the second interface 20 are charging interfaces of different models, and the interfaces of different models correspond to energy inlets on energy devices of different models. According to the model of the energy device, the first interface 10 and the second interface 20 will be selectively connected to the energy inlet of the energy device. The different models referred to here may refer to having different quantities, different external dimensions or different functions.

[0087] In addition, in addition to charging battery packs and battery boxes of different models, the charging device 1000 can also fill hydrogen storage devices with interfaces of different specifications with hydrogen, or selectively replenish energy for energy equipment that has both batteries and hydrogen storage bottles. The energy equipment is provided with an energy inlet, which can be replenished through the charging device 1000 in the event of energy shortage.

[0088] Furthermore, the first charging component 100 includes a first base 11, on which a first interface 10 is provided, and the second charging component 200 includes a second base 21 and a third base 31, which are arranged at intervals, on which a second interface 20 is provided, and on which a coolant exchange interface 30 is provided.

[0089] Specifically, by setting the first base 11 for fixedly installing the first interface 10, and by setting the second base 21 and the third base 31 for fixedly installing the second interface 20 and the coolant exchange interface 30, not only can the installation stability of the first interface 10, the second interface 20 and the coolant exchange interface 30 be ensured, which in turn helps to ensure the accuracy when the first charging component and the second charging component are working. At the same time, the orientation or position of the first interface 10, the second interface 20 and the coolant exchange interface 30 can also be adjusted by acting on the first base 11, the second base 21 and the third base 31, improving the convenience of adjustment.

[0090] It should be understood that, as Figure 1-Figure 3 shown, the first base 11, the second base 21 and the third base 31 are all set as rectangular plate-like structures. Among them, the first interface 10 is provided on the first base 11, the second interface 20 is provided on the second base 21, and the coolant exchange interface 30 is provided on the third base 31. Charging terminals are respectively provided in the first interface 10 and the second interface 20, and the first interface 10 and the second interface 20 are charging interfaces with the same or different models.

[0091] Specifically, three first interfaces 10 are provided on the first base 11, and the three first interfaces 10 are pairwise aligned in two mutually perpendicular directions, that is, the three first interfaces 10 form a "field" shape with one corner removed to form a vacancy. The setting of this vacancy does not affect the insertion of the "field" - shaped energy inlet. This charging device 1000 is suitable for the energy replenishment of heavy - truck replacement batteries, can charge a battery box equipped with four electrical connectors, and can also be compatible with single - connector heavy - truck replacement batteries, enriching the charging function of this charging device 1000 and reducing the number of energy supply stations (charging stations) set up. Moreover, the setting of the coolant exchange interface 30 can, when charging a single - connector battery, take away the excess heat in the energy pack by exchanging coolant.

[0092] It should be pointed out that the connectors in a four - connector battery box are usually divided into charging connectors and discharging connectors. Therefore, when charging and replenishing energy, the discharging connectors actually do not participate in charging, but one of the non - charging connectors can be selected as the communication port.

[0093] In addition, a single - connector battery is more likely to generate heat during charging, so a coolant input interface needs to be set on the single - connector battery. Since the distance between the energy inlet and the coolant input interface of the single - connector battery is relatively large, in order to further reduce the input cost, the second base 21 and the third base 31 are arranged at intervals, which also helps to reduce the moving space and operation difficulty of the second charging component 200, improving the convenience of the charging device 1000.

[0094] Furthermore, there is a first included angle between the first orientation and the second orientation, and the first included angle is a right angle or an obtuse angle;

[0095] And / or, a second angle is formed between the first orientation and the third orientation, and the second angle is a right angle or an obtuse angle;

[0096] And / or, a third angle is formed between the first orientation and the fourth orientation, and the third angle is a right angle or an obtuse angle.

[0097] Specifically, by limiting the angles between the second direction, the third direction and the fourth direction and the first direction, a right angle or an obtuse angle can be set, which can effectively avoid the contamination of the four connectors or the single connector and the coolant exchange interface 30 by sewage and dust during the battery replacement process, thereby improving the safety of the charging device.

[0098] It should be understood that in this embodiment, the first base 11, the second base 21, and the third base 31 are all configured as rotatable structures. In this case, the first orientation is vertically upward, and the second orientation, the third orientation, and the fourth orientation are all configured as horizontal orientations. Under the action of an external force, the first base 11, the second base 21, and the third base 31 rotate, causing the first interface 10 to switch between the first and second orientations, the second interface 20 to switch between the third and first orientations, and the coolant exchange interface 30 to switch between the fourth and first orientations. This configuration allows the charging device 1000 to be located below the energy device (the vehicle's battery pack), achieving a mating connection with the battery pack, reducing the impact on the vehicle's movement, and ensuring the effectiveness of the charging device 1000.

[0099] It should be noted that the second, third, and fourth orientations can be the same or different, so long as they minimize contact with the external environment. Furthermore, when the energy device is a battery pack of another type, the first orientation can be horizontal, and in this case, the angles between the second, third, and fourth orientations and the first orientation can be acute, right, or obtuse. When the first orientation is vertical, the angles between the second, third, and fourth orientations and the first orientation can be right or obtuse.

[0100] At this time, the first energy charging component 100 and / or the second energy charging component 200 can achieve switching between the working position and the avoidance position by horizontal movement or local deflection, and a baffle can be set to reduce the pollution of sewage and dust to the four-connector or single connector and the coolant exchange interface 30.

[0101] Furthermore, the charging device 1000 also includes a support frame 90, and the first charging component 100 and the second charging component 200 are both arranged on the support frame 90, wherein the first base 11, the second base 21 and the third base 31 are all hingedly arranged on the support frame 90, and the first base 11 and the second base 21 are arranged adjacent to each other.

[0102] Specifically, the support frame 90 provides a mounting base for the first and second charging assemblies 100, 200, thereby ensuring that the charging device 1000 is compatible with a vehicle equipped with an energy device, and that the energy device can charge the energy device through the first and second charging assemblies 100, 200. Furthermore, the support frame 90 serves as a mounting base, providing space for the first and second charging assemblies 100, 200 to move, thereby enabling movement such as sliding or rotating.

[0103] It should be understood that in this embodiment, the support frame 90 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure composed of multiple steel members. A storage space is formed within the support frame 90 to accommodate the first charging assembly 100 and the second charging assembly 200. When the charging device 1000 is in use, the support frame 90 is located at the bottom of the vehicle. When the first charging assembly 100 is selected, the first charging assembly 100 is located at the top of the support frame 90. When the second charging assembly 200 is selected, the second charging assembly 200 is located at the top of the support frame 90.

[0104] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first end of the first base 11 is hinged to the top of the support frame 90 through the first hinge 12, wherein the first hinge 12 has a mounting end fixedly connected to the support frame 90, and a connecting end hinged to the first base 11. When an external force acts on the second end of the first base 11, the first base 11 can rotate around the connecting end. It should be noted that the installation and rotation method of the second base 21 and the third base 31 are the same as those of the first base 11, that is, the first end of the second base 21 is hinged to the top of the support frame 90 through the second hinge 22, and rotates around the second hinge 22; the first end of the third base 31 is hinged to the top of the support frame 90 through the third hinge 32. The structure of the second hinge 22 and the third hinge 32 is the same as that of the first hinge 12.

[0105] It should be noted that the style and size of the support frame 90 can be assembled or adjusted according to actual needs, and can ensure that the first charging assembly 100 and the second charging assembly 200 are connected to the energy inlet of the energy device according to actual needs. If the first charging assembly 100 and the second charging assembly 200 are configured to be movable on the support frame 90, it is necessary to ensure that the movement of the first charging assembly 100 and the second charging assembly 200 does not interfere with each other.

[0106] In addition, when the first base 11 adopts the above-mentioned rotation structure to switch between the first working position and the first avoidance position, the rotation angle of the first base 11 is 90°. Such a setting can effectively ensure that during the battery replacement process, the four connectors or the single connector and the coolant exchange interface 30 will not be contaminated or damaged by sewage, dust, etc., and ensure the space occupancy of the charging device.

[0107] What needs to be further understood is that Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the first state, when the first charging assembly 100 is in the first working position, the first base 11 rotates to the top of the support frame 90, and at this time, the second charging assembly 200 is in the second avoidance position, that is, the second end of the second base 21 and the second end of the third base 31 are both in the above-mentioned accommodation space; in the second state, when the first charging assembly 100 rotates to the first avoidance position, the second end of the first base 11 rotates into the above-mentioned accommodation space, and the second base 21 and the third base 31 rotate to the top of the support frame 90. By providing an accommodation space for accommodating the first charging assembly 100 and the second charging assembly 200, and because the charging device 1000 is located below the vehicle or energy equipment, it helps to ensure the use of the first charging assembly 100 and the second charging assembly 200 by height, and reduces the horizontal space occupied by the charging device 1000, thereby improving the space utilization of the charging station.

[0108] It is further understood that the deflection direction of the first base 11 is the first direction, the deflection directions of the second base 21 and the third base 31 are both the second direction, and the first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0109] Specifically, by limiting the deflection direction of the first base 11 to be opposite to the deflection direction of the second base 21 and the deflection direction of the third base 31, the utilization rate of the storage space in the support frame 90 can be further improved, the interference between the first charging component 100 and the second charging component 200 during movement can be reduced, and the stability of the charging device 1000 when switching between the first state and the second state can be further ensured.

[0110] In this embodiment, the first base 11 deflects clockwise, while the second base 21 and the third base 31 deflect counterclockwise, and the deflection trajectories of the first base 11, the second base 21 and the third base 31 are all arc-shaped.

[0111] It should be noted that the switching between the working position and the avoidance position of the first energy charging component 100 and the second energy charging component 200 can be performed in the same manner or in different manners, so long as the switching effect can be guaranteed.

[0112] In addition, it is further understood that the energy charging device 1000 also has a third state, which can be used to temporarily store energy equipment that does not need to be recharged temporarily, such as as a transfer platform during transportation. Figure 1 As shown, in the third state, neither the first charging component 100 nor the second charging component 200 is selected to charge the energy device. At this time, the first interface 10 is located in the first avoidance position, and the second interface 20 is located in the second avoidance position. By setting the third state and limiting the first interface 10 and the second interface 20 to be in the avoidance position, the avoidance position can be used to further protect the first interface 10 and the second interface 20, avoiding contact with the external environment, short circuit or corrosion, and reducing unnecessary plugging and unplugging of the first interface 10 and the second interface 20, thereby increasing their service life.

[0113] Furthermore, the charging device 1000 also includes a first drive assembly 300 and a second drive assembly 400. The first drive assembly 300 is mounted on the support frame 90 and is capable of rotating the first base 11 to adjust the orientation of the first interface 10. The second drive assembly 400 is mounted on the support frame 90 and is configured to rotate the second base 21 to adjust the orientation of the second interface 20 and simultaneously rotate the third base 31 to adjust the orientation of the coolant exchange interface 30.

[0114] Specifically, by setting the first drive component 300 and the second drive component 400, the first charging component 100 and the second charging component 200 can be switched between the working position and the avoidance position, so that the charging device 1000 can be operated automatically, which helps to reduce the labor cost. At the same time, it helps to ensure the stability of the movement of the first charging component 100 and the second charging component 200 when they are selected, as well as the accuracy of the first interface 10 and the second interface 20 when they are working.

[0115] It should be understood that the first drive assembly 300 and the second drive assembly 400 can use the same or different drive devices to achieve the movement of the first charging assembly 100 and the second charging assembly 200. Preferably, the present invention uses the same drive device to help simplify the structure of the charging device 1000 and ensure ease of assembly. Of course, the use of different drive devices can also achieve the implementation effect of this application, and the specific selection can be based on actual needs.

[0116] In this embodiment, a mounting bracket 91 is provided in the middle of the support frame 90. The mounting bracket 91 is welded or screwed to the support frame 90. The mounting bracket 91 includes multiple cross beams and multiple longitudinal beams, which are screwed or welded together. The first drive assembly 300 and the second drive assembly 400 are both mounted on the mounting bracket 91.

[0117] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first drive assembly 300 and the second drive assembly 400 have different structures. Among them, the first drive member 70 includes a drive motor 40, a transmission mechanism 50 and a first connecting mechanism 60. The drive motor 40 is fixed to one end of the support frame 90 through a motor mounting seat 41. A transmission 42 is provided on the motor mounting seat 41, and the transmission 42 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 40. The transmission mechanism 50 includes two transmission wheels spaced apart on the support frame 90, and a conveyor belt 53 sleeved on the two transmission wheels. For ease of description, one of the two transmission wheels is referred to as the first transmission wheel 51, and the other of the two transmission wheels is referred to as the second transmission wheel 52. The first transmission wheel 51 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 40, and the second transmission wheel 52 is fixed to the mounting frame 91 through a mounting seat 54.

[0118] The first connecting mechanism 60 also includes a first connecting rod 64. One end of the first connecting rod 64 is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 53, and the other end of the first connecting rod 64 is hingedly connected to the second end of the first base 11. When the drive motor 40 is in operation, the conveyor belt 53 can move under the action of the drive motor 40, and simultaneously drive the first end of the first connecting rod 64 to move. Due to the configuration of the first hinge 12, the first connecting rod 64 rotates the first base 11 to the first working position.

[0119] It should be noted that the first drive assembly 300 and the second drive assembly 400 can use the same drive device, or the same drive device or drive method, and can also achieve the implementation effect of the present application. The specific selection can be made according to actual needs. Since the second charging assembly 200 includes a second base 21 and a third base 31 arranged at intervals, the use of different drive devices helps to improve and ensure the feasibility of switching the second charging assembly 200, and reduces the working interference between the first drive assembly 300 and the second drive assembly 400.

[0120] Furthermore, the first connecting mechanism 60 further includes a first slide rail 61 and a first slider 62. The first slide rail 61 is disposed on the support frame 90, the first slider 62 is disposed on the first slide rail 61 and fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 53, and the first connecting rod 64 is hinged to the first slider 62.

[0121] Specifically, by setting the first slide rail 61 and the first slider 62, the transmission mechanism 50 can be cooperated to limit the moving direction of the first end of the first connecting rod 64, so that it can move in the horizontal direction, and the first slide rail 61 cooperates with the first slider 62 to support the movement of the first connecting rod 64, thereby ensuring that it can accurately and stably push the first base 11 to the first working position.

[0122] It should be understood that the mounting frame 91 is provided with a mounting beam 92 extending horizontally. Furthermore, a first slide rail 61 is provided on the mounting beam 92, and a first slider 62 is provided on the first slide rail 61. A support 63 is provided on the first slider 62. The support 63 is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 53, and the first end of the first connecting rod 64 is hinged to the support 63. When the conveyor belt 53 moves, the support 63 is able to move horizontally under the action of the conveyor belt 53. Supported by the first slider 62 and the first slide rail 61, the rotation of the first base 11 is ensured. Furthermore, first limiters 66 are provided at each end of the first slide rail 61 to ensure the travel distance of the first slider 62.

[0123] It should be noted that there are two first drive assemblies 300, and the two first drive assemblies 300 are arranged at intervals on opposite sides of the first base 11, and the first transmission wheels 51 of the two first drive assemblies 300 are transmission-connected via a transmission shaft 55. The first connecting rods 64 of the two first drive assemblies 300 are transmission-connected via a first connecting shaft 65. By providing two first drive assemblies 300, the rotation of the first base 11 can be effectively ensured to be feasible.

[0124] Furthermore, the second drive assembly 400 includes a drive member 70 and a second connecting mechanism 80. The drive member 70 is disposed on the support frame 90, and the second connecting mechanism 80 is drivingly connected to the output end of the drive member 70. The second connecting mechanism 80 includes a second connecting rod 83 hinged to the second end of the second base 21, and a third connecting rod 85 hinged to the second end of the third base 31.

[0125] Specifically, by providing the driving member 70 and the second connecting mechanism 80, the second base 21 and the third base 31 can be driven to rotate, thereby realizing switching between the second working position and the second avoidance position. Such a configuration helps to improve the convenience of the second charging assembly 200.

[0126] It should be understood that in this embodiment, the driving member 70 is an electric push rod, which is fixed to the mounting bracket 91. The output end of the electric push rod is provided with a support rod. The output end of the electric push rod is capable of reciprocating in the horizontal direction. At the same time, the second connecting rod 83 and the third connecting rod 85 of the second connecting mechanism 80 are both hinged to the support rod, with the connecting end of the second connecting rod 83 and the connecting end of the third connecting rod 85 spaced apart on the support rod. The end of the second connecting rod 83 away from the driving member 70 is hinged to the end of the second base 21 away from the second hinge 22. The end of the third connecting rod 85 away from the driving member 70 is hinged to the end of the third base 31 away from the third hinge 32.

[0127] It should be pointed out that the moving direction of the output end of the electric push rod can be not only horizontal but also vertical. In this case, the second connecting rod 83 can be slidably set on the support rod and hinged to the support rod. At the same time, the third connecting rod 85 can be slidably set on the support rod and hinged to the support rod.

[0128] Furthermore, the second connecting mechanism 80 further includes a second slide rail 81 and a second slider 82. The second slide rail 81 is disposed on the support frame 90 and extends horizontally, the second slider 82 is disposed on the second slide rail 81, and the second connecting rod 83 and the third connecting rod 85 are both hinged on the second slider 82, and the second connecting rod 83 and the third connecting rod 85 are spaced apart.

[0129] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second slide rail 81 has the same structure and installation method as the first slide rail 61, and is fixed to the mounting frame 91 through the mounting beam 92. The second slider 82 includes a first portion 821, a second portion 822, and a connecting beam 823, wherein the first portion 821 and the second portion 822 are spaced apart. The second connecting rod 83 and the third connecting rod 85 are both hinged on the connecting beam 823 and are respectively arranged corresponding to the first portion 821 and the second portion 822. By being arranged on the second slide rail 81 and the second slider 82, the stability of the moving direction of the output end of the electric push rod can be effectively guaranteed. At the same time, second limit members 87 are respectively provided at both ends of the second slide rail 81 to ensure the moving distance of the second slider 82.

[0130] It should be noted that there are two second drive assemblies 400, and the two second drive assemblies 400 are spaced apart and arranged on opposite sides of the second base 21 and the third base 31. The second connecting rods 83 of the two second drive assemblies 400 are connected by a second connecting shaft 84, and the third connecting rods 85 of the two second drive assemblies 400 are connected by a third connecting shaft 86. At the same time, the connecting beams 823 of the two second drive assemblies 400 are connected by a transmission rod 88.

[0131] Furthermore, a first guide assembly 93 is provided on the support frame 90, and the first guide assembly 93 is used to cooperate with the energy device.

[0132] Specifically, by setting the first guide component 93, it can be matched and connected with the vehicle or energy equipment, thereby ensuring that the first charging component 100 or the second charging component 200 can be connected to the energy inlet of the energy equipment, thereby ensuring the use effect of the charging device 1000.

[0133] It should be understood that the first guide assembly 93 can be guided by a guide post or a guide hole, and the guide post typically has a tapered or wedge-shaped end. There can be multiple first guide assemblies 93, and multiple first guide assemblies 93 can cooperate to achieve precise matching of the first charging assembly 100 or the second charging assembly 200 with the corresponding energy inlet.

[0134] In this embodiment of the present invention, two first guide assemblies 93 are provided on top of the support frame 90, spaced apart and positioned diagonally within a square work area. When the first guide assemblies 93 are paired with a vehicle or energy device and the first charging assembly is selected, the first interface 10 of the first charging assembly is located within the work area. Simultaneously, when the second charging assembly is selected, the second interface 20 of the second charging assembly is located within the work area, and the coolant exchange interface 30 of the second charging assembly is located outside the square area.

[0135] The present invention also provides an energy recharging station, which includes the aforementioned charging device 1000, a charging device, and a thermal management system. The charging device is connected to the first interface 10 and the second interface 20. The thermal management system is connected to the coolant exchange interface 30 of the charging device 1000.
