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, the ways of replenishing energy for vehicles have been expanded, such as using battery swapping technology to replace the technology of fixing batteries on vehicles, and the hydrogen storage bottles on new energy vehicles that use hydrogen as fuel can be quickly replaced. However, whether it is electricity or hydrogen energy that is used to power the vehicle, due to different application scenarios, the existing energy replenishment interfaces are not unified, for example, in the field of heavy truck battery swapping.

[0003] At present, the electrical interfaces of heavy-duty truck battery swapping systems mainly include single-connector and four-connector modes. For a heavy-duty truck battery swapping station that serves both four-connector and single-connector battery swapping, the four-connector and single-connector charging rack modes are currently (generally) adopted. The two charging racks are configured in a certain number of partitions, and the two charging 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, so 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, 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 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.

[0060] With the development and application of new energy vehicle technology, the ways of replenishing energy for vehicles have been expanded, such as using battery swapping technology to replace the technology of fixing batteries on vehicles, and the hydrogen storage bottles on new energy vehicles that use hydrogen as fuel can be quickly replaced. However, whether it is electricity or hydrogen energy that is used to power the vehicle, due to different application scenarios, the existing energy replenishment interfaces are not unified, for example, in the field of heavy truck battery swapping.

[0061] At present, the electrical interface of the heavy-duty truck battery swap system has two modes: single connector and four connectors. For a heavy-duty truck battery swap station that serves both four-connector and single-connector battery swaps, the four-connector and single-connector charging rack modes are currently (generally) adopted. The two charging racks are each configured according to a certain number of partitions, and the two charging racks are independent of each other.

[0062] This solution has the following problems:

[0063] 1. The existing charging racks on the market can only accommodate one type of battery, so 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, distribution capacity, and investment costs of battery swap stations.

[0064] 2. The market share of single-connector batteries and four-connector batteries is uneven, resulting in an imbalance in the service rate of the two types of batteries in some battery swap stations. Operators have to consider the proportion of the two configurations of charging racks, which increases the difficulty and risk of investment decisions.

[0065] 3. Currently, the operating environment of battery swap stations and the working environment of heavy trucks are poor. The 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.

[0066] 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.

[0067] 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.

[0068] Furthermore, the charging device 1000 has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the first charging component 100 is selected and the first interface 10 is connected to an energy device with a first number of energy inlets. In the second state, the second charging component 200 is selected and the second interface 20 is connected to an 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, wherein the first number is different from the second number.

[0069] Specifically, by setting the first charging component 100 to be connected to the energy equipment with a first number of energy inlets, and setting the second charging component 200 to be connected to the energy equipment with a second number of energy inlets, and the first charging component 100 and the second charging component 200 can be selected for use, the charging device 1000 can charge different types of energy equipment, 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.

[0070] 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. When the battery is low, the user can only charge the four-connector battery box on a charging stand with four charging interfaces, and the single-connector battery box can only be charged on a charging stand with a single charging interface.

[0071] In an embodiment of the utility model, 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 four connectors and a single connector at the same time, and switch the connector in real time according to the type of battery to meet the charging requirements of batteries with different connectors.

[0072] 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 dimensions or different functions.

[0073] 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, and in the case of energy shortage, it can be replenished through the charging device 1000.

[0074] 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.

[0075] Specifically, by providing the first base 11 for fixedly installing the first interface 10, and by providing the second base 21 and the third base 31 for fixedly installing the second interface 20 and the coolant exchange interface 30, not only the installation stability of the first interface 10, the second interface 20 and the coolant exchange interface 30 can be guaranteed, but also the accuracy of the first charging component and the second charging component when working can be ensured. At the same time, the orientation or position of the first interface 10, the second interface 20 and the coolant exchange interface 30 can be adjusted by acting on the first base 11, the second base 21 and the third base 31, thereby improving the convenience of adjustment.

[0076] It should be understood that a single-connector battery is more likely to generate heat when 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 investment cost, the second base 21 and the third base 31 are set at intervals. At the same time, it also helps to reduce the activity space and operation difficulty of the second charging component 200, and improve the convenience of the charging device.

[0077] In the implementation mode of the present utility model, Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, the first base 11, the second base 21, and the third base 31 are all set as rectangular plate-like structures. Among them, a first interface 10 is provided on the first base 11, a second interface 20 is provided on the second base 21, and a 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 of the same or different models. 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 and one corner is removed to form a vacant position. The setting of this vacant position does not affect the insertion of the "field"-shaped energy inlet. The charging device 1000 is applicable to the energy replenishment of heavy truck replacement batteries, can charge a battery box provided with four electrical connectors, and can also be compatible with heavy truck replacement batteries with a single connector, enriching the charging function of the 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 take away the excess heat in the energy pack by exchanging coolant when charging a single-connector battery.

[0078] It should be noted that the connectors in the 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.

[0079] Furthermore, the charging device 1000 further includes a support frame 90. The first charging component 100 and the second charging component 200 are both arranged on the support frame 90, and among them, the first base 11, the second base 21, and the third base 31 are all movably arranged on the support frame 90.

[0080] Specifically, by setting the support frame 90, an installation basis can be provided for the first charging component 100 and the second charging component 200, thereby ensuring that the charging device 1000 can be matched with a vehicle provided with energy equipment, and further ensuring that the charging equipment can charge the energy equipment through the first charging component 100 or the second charging component 200. At the same time, using the support frame 90 as the installation basis can not only realize the fixed installation of the first charging component 100 and the second charging component 200, but also provide an activity space for the movement of the first charging component 100 and the second charging component 200, and thus can implement movement modes such as sliding or rotation.

[0081] It should be understood 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 component 100 and the second charging component 200 are connected to the energy inlet of the energy device according to actual needs. If the first charging component 100 and the second charging component 200 are movably arranged on the support frame 90, it is necessary to ensure that the movement of the first charging component 100 and the second charging component 200 will not interfere with each other.

[0082] In an embodiment of the utility model, the support frame 90 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure formed by splicing a plurality of steel materials, wherein a receiving space is formed inside the support frame 90 for accommodating the first charging component 100 and the second charging component 200. When the charging device 1000 is used, the support frame 90 is located at the bottom of the vehicle. When the first charging component 100 is selected, the first charging component 100 is located at the top of the support frame 90. When the second charging component 200 is selected, the second charging component 200 is located at the top of the support frame 90.

[0083] Furthermore, a first guide device 91 is provided on the support frame 90, and the first guide device 91 is used for connecting with the energy device.

[0084] Specifically, by setting the first guide device 91, 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.

[0085] It should be understood that the first guide device 91 can be guided by a guide column or a guide hole, and the guide column usually has a conical or wedge-shaped end. There are multiple first guide devices 91, and multiple first guide devices 91 can cooperate to achieve accurate matching of the first charging component 100 or the second charging component 200 with the corresponding energy inlet.

[0086] In the embodiment of the utility model, the number of the first guide devices 91 is four, and the four first guide devices 91 are arranged on the top of the support frame 90, and the four first guide devices 91 are arranged at intervals to form a square working area. When the first guide device 91 is matched with the vehicle or energy equipment, and the first charging component is selected, the first interface 10 of the first charging component is located in the working area. At the same time, when the second charging component is selected, the second interface 20 of the second charging component is located in the working area, and the coolant exchange interface 30 of the second charging component is located outside the square area.

[0087] Further, the first base 11, the second base 21 and the third base 31 are all rotatably disposed on the support frame 90, so that the first charging assembly 100 has a first working position and a first avoidance position, and the second charging assembly 200 has a second working position and a second avoidance position;

[0088] In the first state, the first energy charging component 100 is in the first working position, and the second energy charging component 200 is in the second avoidance position. In the second state, the first energy charging component 100 is in the first avoidance position, and the second energy charging component 200 is in the second working position.

[0089] Specifically, by adjusting the positions of the first base 11, the second base 21 and the third base 31 in a rotating manner, the first charging component 100 and the second charging component 200 are both limited to have a working position and an avoidance position, and when one of them is switched to the working position, the other is transferred to the avoidance position, which helps to avoid mutual interference between the first charging component 100 and the second charging component 200 during movement and use, and effectively improves the space utilization of the charging station.

[0090] It is important to understand 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 interface 10 rotates to the top of the support frame 90, and at this time, the second charging assembly 200 is in the above-mentioned accommodation space as a whole, that is, the second avoidance position; in the second state, when the first charging assembly 100 rotates to the first avoidance position, the first charging assembly 100 is in the above-mentioned accommodation space as a whole, and at this time, the second charging assembly 200 is in the second working position, and the second interface 20 is located at 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 is helpful to ensure the use of the first charging assembly 100 and the second charging assembly 200 by height, and reduce the space occupied by the charging device 1000 in the horizontal direction, thereby improving the space utilization of the charging station.

[0091] In an embodiment of the utility model, the first base 11, the second base 21 and the third base 31 have the same structure and are installed on the support frame 90 in the same manner. The first base 11 is described below as an example, wherein the structure of the first base 11 is a rectangular plate-like structure, the middle of which is hollowed out for installing the first interface 10. A first support rod 12 is provided on both sides of the first base 11, one end of the first support rod 12 is fixedly connected to the first base 11, and the other end of the first support rod 12 is installed on the support frame 90 through an installation assembly 40. Preferably, the first support rod 12 and the first base 11 are an integrally formed structure. Of course, the first support rod 12 and the first base 11 may also be detachably connected.

[0092] At this time, the mounting assembly 40 includes a rotating shaft 41 and two rotating shaft brackets 42, wherein the number of the rotating shaft brackets 42 is two, the two rotating shaft brackets 42 are spaced apart on the support frame 90, and are respectively located on both sides of the first base 11, and the two ends of the rotating shaft 41 are respectively passed through the rotating shaft brackets 42. At this time, the first base 11 is connected to the support frame 90 through the first support rod 12 and the mounting assembly 40, and the first base 11 pivots on the support frame 90 with the rotating shaft 41 as the center to realize the switching between the above-mentioned first working position and the first avoidance position.

[0093] It should be noted that whether the lengths of the first support rod 12 and the second support rod 22 on the second base 21 and the third support rod 32 on the third base 31 are the same or different does not affect the switching of the charging device 1000 between the first state and the second state.

[0094] 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.

[0095] 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.

[0096] In this embodiment, the first base 11 deflects counterclockwise, while the second base 21 and the third base 31 deflect clockwise. The deflection trajectories of the first base 11, the second base 21 and the third base 31 are all arc-shaped.

[0097] It should be noted that the switching between the working position and the avoidance position can be performed by partial deflection or sliding, etc. When the avoidance space in the horizontal position is limited, the switching can be performed by partial deflection or moving in the height direction. When the height space is limited, the switching can be performed by translation or flipping.

[0098] In addition, 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 as to ensure the switching effect.

[0099] 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 charged temporarily, for example, 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 at the first avoidance position, and the second interface 20 is located at the second avoidance position.

[0100] Specifically, 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 the first interface 10 and the second interface 20 from contacting the external environment and causing short circuits or corrosion. Ineffective plugging and unplugging is also avoided, thereby increasing the service life of the first interface 10 and the second interface 20.

[0101] Furthermore, the energy charging device 1000 further includes a first driving member 51, which is disposed on the support frame 90, and is used to drive the first energy charging assembly 100 to switch between the first working position and the first avoidance position;

[0102] A second driving member 52, which is disposed on the support frame 90 and is used to drive the second base 21 to move;

[0103] The third driving member 53 is disposed on the support frame 90 . The third driving member 53 is used to drive the third base 31 to move. The third driving member 53 cooperates with the second driving member 52 to drive the second charging assembly 200 to switch between the second working position and the second avoidance position.

[0104] Specifically, by providing a first driving member 51, a second driving member 52 and a third driving member 53, 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, and the accuracy of the first interface 10 and the second interface 20 when they are working.

[0105] It should be understood that the first driving member 51, the second driving member 52 and the third driving member 53 can use the same or different driving devices to realize the movement of the first charging component 100 and the second charging component 200. Preferably, the utility model uses the same driving device, which helps to simplify the structure of the charging device 1000 and ensure the convenience of assembly. Of course, the use of different driving devices can also achieve the implementation effect of the present application, and can be selected according to actual needs.

[0106] In the embodiment of the utility model, the first driving member 51, the second driving member 52 and the third driving member 53 have the same structure and are all fixed to the support member through the driving member mounting frame 60. The following description takes the installation of the first driving member 51 as an example. The number of the driving member mounting frames 60 is two, and the two driving member mounting frames 60 are arranged on the support frame 90 at intervals and are respectively located on opposite sides of the first base 11 and arranged opposite to the above-mentioned first support rod 12. At the same time, the number of the first driving member 51 is two, and they are respectively arranged on the two driving member mounting frames 60.

[0107] At this time, the output end of the first driving member 51 is provided with a connecting assembly 70, and the connecting assembly 70 includes a first connecting arm 71 and a second connecting arm 72, one end of the first connecting arm 71 is drivingly connected to the output end of the first driving member 51, the other end of the first connecting arm 71 is hinged to one end of the second connecting arm 72, and the other end of the second connecting arm 72 is hinged to the middle area of ​​the first supporting rod 12. At this time, the first driving member 51, the connecting assembly 70 and the rotating shaft 41 form a four-bar structure, so that when the first driving member 51 is working, under the action of the connecting assembly 70 and the first supporting rod 12, the first base 11 rotates around the rotating shaft 41. The installation and transmission methods of the second driving member 52 and the third driving member 53 are the same as those of the first driving member 51, and will not be described in detail here.

[0108] It should be noted that, in addition to using the same driving device, the first driving member 51, the second driving member 52 and the third driving member 53 can also use different driving devices or driving methods to achieve the implementation effect of the present application, and can be selected according to actual needs. Of course, using the same driving device helps to simplify the structure of the charging device 1000 and ensure the convenience of assembly.

[0109] In addition, it should be noted that in addition to setting the second driving member 52 and the third driving member 53 to cooperate with each other to realize the switching of the second charging component 200 between the second working position and the second avoidance position, only one driving member can be set, and the movement of the second base 21 and the third base 31 can be simultaneously realized through the above-mentioned connecting component 70.

[0110] Further, when the first energy charging component 100 is located at the first working position, the first interface 10 has a first orientation, the second interface 20 has a third orientation, and the coolant exchange interface 30 has a fourth orientation; when the first energy charging component 100 is located at the first avoidance position, the first interface 10 has a second orientation, the orientation of the second interface 20 and the orientation of the coolant exchange interface 30 are the same as the first orientation, and the first orientation is set at an angle to the second orientation; the first orientation is set at an angle to the third orientation; the first orientation is set at an angle to the fourth orientation.

[0111] Specifically, by limiting the different orientations of the charging interface in the working position and the avoidance position, the contact between the first interface 10 and the external environment can be effectively reduced, thereby preventing sewage, dust, etc. from contaminating or damaging the four-connector or single connector and the coolant exchange interface 30 during the battery replacement process, thereby affecting their functions, thereby helping to improve the safety of the charging device.

[0112] It should be understood that the second orientation, the third orientation, and the fourth orientation may be the same or different, so as to reduce contact with the external environment. When the first orientation is horizontal, the angles between the second orientation, the third orientation, and the fourth orientation and the first orientation may be set to an acute angle, a right angle, or an obtuse angle. When the first orientation is vertical, the angles between the second orientation, the third orientation, and the fourth orientation and the first orientation may be set to a right angle or an obtuse angle.

[0113] In this embodiment, there is a first angle between the first orientation and the second orientation, and the first angle is a right angle or an obtuse angle;

[0114] 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;

[0115] 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.

[0116] It should be understood that since in the present embodiment, the first direction is the vertically upward direction, right angles or obtuse angles can be set by limiting the angles between the second direction, the third direction and the fourth direction and the first direction, which can effectively avoid the contamination of the four-connector or 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.

[0117] In addition, when the above-mentioned first energy charging component 100 and / or the second energy charging component 200 adopts horizontal movement or local deflection to achieve switching between the working position and the avoidance position, 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.

[0118] It should be noted that when the first base 11 adopts a local deflection switching mode, the side of the first base 11 away from the second base 21 is rotatably connected to the support frame 90, and the side of the first base 11 close to the second base 21 is transmission connected to the first driving member 51. When the first driving member 51 is working, the first base 11 deflects around the side away from the second base 21, and at this time, a baffle is provided above the side of the first base 11 away from the second base 21, and the first driving member 51 can at least drive the first base 11 to rotate 90°.

[0119] Furthermore, if Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the charging device 1000 also includes a first limit member 81, a second limit member 82 and a third limit member 83 which are spaced apart on the support frame 90. When the first charging component 100 is located in the first working position, the first limit member 81 abuts against the first base 11; when the second charging component 200 is in the second working position, the second limit member 82 abuts against the second base 21, and the third limit member 83 abuts against the third base 31.

[0120] Specifically, by setting the first limit member 81, the second limit member 82 and the third limit member 83, so as to cooperate with the first driving member 51, the second driving member 52 and the third driving member 53, the moving distance of the first base 11, the second base 21 and the third base 31 is guaranteed, and the accuracy of the first interface 10 and the second interface 20 during operation is ensured.

[0121] It should be understood that the structures of the first limiter 81, the second limiter 82 and the third limiter 83 may be the same or different. At the same time, the working modes of the first limiter 81, the second limiter 82 and the third limiter 83 may be the same or different. The following is an explanation using the first limiter 81 as an example. The first limiter 81 can act on the first driving member 51 to determine whether the first base 11 is moved into place by limiting the rotation angle of the first driving member 51. Alternatively, the first limiter 81 can act on the first support rod 12 or the first base 11 to determine whether the first base 11 is moved into place by abutting against the first support rod 12 and the first base 11.

[0122] In this embodiment, the first stopper 81 is a long strip structure, one end of the first stopper 81 is detachably disposed on the support frame 90, and the other end of the first stopper 81 forms a receiving groove. When the first base 11 moves to the first working position, the first support rod 12 is located in the receiving groove.

[0123] The utility model also proposes an energy supply station, which includes the above-mentioned 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.

[0124] Compared with the prior art, the energy charging station proposed by the present invention has the technical advantages possessed by the above-mentioned charging device 1000, which will not be described in detail here.

[0125] The above is only a preferred specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
