[0041] The floating platform in the related art provides the adjustment amount through a flexible adjustment mechanism of compression deformation, but there are problems of unstable deformation and low adjustment accuracy.

[0042] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 6 A battery replacement device 1 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is described.

[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, according to the utility model, the battery exchange device 1 is used in the battery exchange station 2, and the battery exchange device 1 includes a battery exchange component 13, a lifting component 16 and a floating component 15. The battery exchange component 13 is formed with a bearing surface 131 suitable for bearing the battery; the lifting component 16 is connected to the battery exchange component 13 and is suitable for adjusting the position height of the battery exchange component 13; the floating component 15 is arranged between the battery exchange component 13 and the lifting component 16, and the floating component 15 includes an elastic member 151, and the elastic member 151 can be stretched and deformed to make the floating component 15 suitable for adjusting the position of the battery exchange component 13 relative to the lifting component 16.

[0044] According to the battery exchange device 1 of the utility model, the battery exchange component 13 is formed with a bearing surface 131 for bearing the battery. After the battery is loaded on the bearing surface 131, the position height of the battery exchange component 13 is adjusted by the lifting component 16, and the battery exchange component 13 can be docked with the battery compartment of the vehicle to achieve the installation of the battery on the vehicle. When the battery needs to be removed from the vehicle, the position height of the battery exchange component 13 is adjusted by the lifting component 16, and the battery exchange component 13 can be docked with the battery on the vehicle, so that the bearing surface 131 is tightly fitted with the battery surface to form a stable and reliable connection, thereby removing the battery from the vehicle.

[0045] The floating component 15 is arranged between the battery exchange component 13 and the lifting component 16. The floating component 15 provides freedom for the battery exchange component 13, so that it can adjust its position relative to the lifting component 16, thereby compensating for the position deviation between the battery exchange component 13 and the battery on the vehicle, so that the battery exchange component 13 can be more accurately docked with the battery on the vehicle. Specifically, the floating component 15 includes an elastic member 151, and the elastic member 151 has the characteristic of being stretchable and deformable. Through the tensile deformation of the elastic member 151, an adjustment amount that causes a position change between the battery exchange component 13 and the lifting component 16 can be provided. Compared with compression deformation, tensile deformation has a significant stability advantage, and its deformation process is smoother and more stable. In addition, tensile deformation can also effectively improve the adjustment accuracy, because during the stretching process, the elastic member 151 can more accurately respond to and transmit the required adjustment amount, reducing the loss of accuracy.

[0046] Therefore, according to the battery exchange device 1 of the present invention, efficient and precise docking between the battery exchange component 13 and the vehicle battery is achieved through the stretching deformation of the elastic member 151, which significantly improves the stability and adjustment accuracy of the battery exchange process.

[0047] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5As shown, the floating component 15 includes a first floating component 152 and a second floating component 153. The first floating component 152 is connected to the battery exchange component 13, so the movement of the battery exchange component 13 will be directly affected by the first floating component 152. The second floating component 153 is connected to the lifting component 16, so when the first floating component 152 moves relative to the second floating component 153, the battery exchange component 13 will adjust its position relative to the lifting component 16 accordingly. The second floating component 153 and the first floating component 152 are arranged relative to each other in the height direction to define a floating space between each other. The floating space can provide a degree of freedom for the battery exchange component 13, so that it can adjust its position relative to the lifting component 16. The elastic component 151 is arranged in the floating space, one end of the elastic component 151 is connected to the first floating component 152, and the other end of the elastic component 151 is connected to the second floating component 153. The elastic component 151 not only flexibly connects the first floating component 152 and the second floating component 153, but also can realize the position adjustment between the first floating component 152 and the second floating component by stretching deformation. When the battery exchange component 13 is docked with the battery on the vehicle, the first floating part 152 and the second floating part 153 will spontaneously move relative to each other through the stretching deformation of the elastic part 151 to compensate for the position deviation between the battery exchange component 13 and the battery, so that the battery disassembly process can be carried out stably.

[0048] According to some embodiments of the utility model, the first floating member 152 is formed with a first connecting member extending toward the second floating member 153, and the first connecting member moves synchronously with the first floating member 152; the second floating member 153 is formed with a second connecting member extending toward the first floating member 152, and the second connecting member moves synchronously with the second floating member 153. A floating space is defined between the first connecting member and the second connecting member, so that the first connecting member and the second connecting member can move relative to each other to adjust the relative position of the first floating member 152 and the second floating member 153, and the elastic member 151 is allowed to be arranged between the first connecting member and the second connecting member.

[0049] One end of the elastic member 151 is connected to the first connecting member, and the other end of the elastic member 151 is connected to the second connecting member. When the battery exchange component 13 is connected to the battery on the vehicle, the first connecting member and the second connecting member move relative to each other through the stretching deformation of the elastic member, and the relative position of the first floating member 152 and the second floating member 153 can be adjusted to compensate for the position deviation between the battery exchange component 13 and the battery, so that the battery exchange component 13 can be more accurately connected to the battery on the vehicle.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first connecting member includes a first connecting portion 1521 and a first floating portion 1522. The first connecting portion 1521 is connected to the first floating member 152 and extends toward the second floating member 153. The first floating portion 1522 vertically extends from the first connecting portion 1521. The first connecting portion 1521 separates the first floating portion 1522 from the first floating member 152 and allows the movement of the first floating portion 1522 to be transmitted to the first floating member 152, so as to drive the first floating member 152 to move.

[0051] The second connecting member includes a second connecting portion 1531 and a second floating portion 1532, the second connecting portion 1531 is connected to the second floating member 153 and extends toward the first floating member 152; the second floating portion 1532 extends vertically from the second connecting portion 1531; the second connecting portion 1531 separates the second floating portion 1532 from the second floating member 153, and allows the movement of the second floating portion 1532 to be transmitted to the second floating member 153, so as to drive the second floating member 153 to move.

[0052] The first floating part 1522 and the second floating part 1532 are arranged opposite to each other in the height direction to define a floating space between each other, allowing the first floating part 1522 and the second floating part 1532 to move relative to each other in the height direction. One end of the elastic member 151 is connected to the first floating part 1522, and the other end of the elastic member 151 is connected to the second floating part 1532. When the first floating member 152 and the second floating member 153 move relatively close to each other, the first connecting member and the second connecting member will move accordingly. At this time, the first floating part 1522 and the second floating part 1532 move relatively away from each other, so that the elastic member 151 is subjected to a tensile force, and the elastic member 151 is stretched and deformed to provide an adjustment amount.

[0053] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5As shown, the floating member 15 further includes a rotating portion 154, which is rotatably disposed on at least one of the first floating portion 1522 and the second floating portion 1532. The rotating portion 154 can be disposed on either the first floating portion 1522 or the second floating portion 1532, or can be disposed on both the first floating portion 1522 and the second floating portion 1532. The elastic member is connected to at least one of the first floating portion 1522 and the second floating portion 1532 through the rotating portion 154. The rotating portion 154 on the first floating portion 1522 is connected to one end of the elastic member 151, and the rotating portion 154 on the second floating portion 1532 is connected to the other end of the elastic member 151. Alternatively, the rotating portion 154 on the first floating portion 1522 may be connected to one end of the elastic member 151, and the second floating portion 1532 may be directly connected to the other end of the elastic member 151; or the rotating portion 154 on the second floating portion 1532 may be connected to one end of the elastic member 151, and the first floating portion 1522 may be directly connected to the other end of the elastic member 151. The rotating portion 154 allows the elastic member 151 to have a rotational freedom in addition to the stretching in the linear direction when being stretched, so that the first floating member 152 and the second floating member 153 may swing in the horizontal direction, and thus the floating member 15 may have a more flexible adjustment capability.

[0054] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the second floating member 153 is formed with an avoidance hole 1533 that penetrates in the height direction, and the first connecting member is inserted into the avoidance hole 1533. One end of the first connecting member is inserted into and passes through the avoidance hole 1533 of the second floating member 153. The avoidance hole 1533 is used to avoid the movement of the first connecting member, so that when the first floating member 152 and the second floating member 153 move relative to each other, the first connecting member moves in the avoidance hole 1533 without being hindered. By providing the avoidance hole 1533, the relative movement between the first floating member 152 and the second floating member 153 is more flexible, and the functional reliability of the floating member 15 is also ensured.

[0055] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5As shown, the elastic member 151 is constructed in multiple configurations, and the multiple elastic members 151 work together to share the load. Each elastic member 151 has an independent tensile deformation capability, so that the elastic member 151 can adjust the displacement generated at different positions between the first floating member 152 and the second floating member 153, allowing the first floating member 152 and the second floating member 153 to have a relative tilting movement, thereby achieving a more flexible and dynamic adjustment effect. The multiple elastic members 151 are arranged at intervals and evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the floating member 15, which means that the multiple elastic members 151 are arranged in a circumferential direction around the central area of ​​the floating member 15, so that no matter in which direction the floating member 15 is subjected to external force, there can be a corresponding elastic member 151 to provide timely and effective support and adjustment.

[0056] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the first connecting member is constructed to be a plurality of first connecting members corresponding to the elastic members 151 on the first floating member 152, which means that each elastic member 151 has a first connecting member connected thereto, so that the elastic member 151 can effectively transmit force through the first connecting member when subjected to force, thereby realizing its supporting and buffering functions. The plurality of first connecting members are symmetrically arranged in the length direction and / or the width direction, which strengthens the structural stability of the floating member 15 and ensures the uniformity and efficiency of force transmission. When the first floating member 152 is subjected to an external force, the plurality of first connecting members can work together to jointly resist and balance the external force through the expansion and contraction deformation of the elastic members 151 to which they are connected, so that the first floating member 152 is kept in a relatively stable posture.

[0057] The second connecting member is constructed to be a plurality of second connecting members arranged on the second floating member 153 corresponding to the elastic member 151, which means that each elastic member 151 has a second connecting member connected thereto, so that the elastic member 151 can effectively transmit force through the second connecting member when subjected to force, thereby achieving its supporting and buffering functions. The plurality of second connecting members are symmetrically arranged in the length direction and / or the width direction, corresponding to the layout of the first connecting member, so that the second connecting members cooperate with the first connecting member to jointly resist and balance the external force through the expansion and contraction deformation of the elastic members 151 connected to each other.

[0058] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the battery exchange device 1 also includes a movable track 11 and a conveying component 12. The conveying component 12 is movably arranged on the movable track 11 so as to be suitable for moving along the extension direction of the movable track 11. By moving the conveying component 12 along the extension direction of the movable track 11, the battery exchange device 1 can be flexibly moved to different positions in the battery exchange station 2 to realize the process of removing the low-power battery from the vehicle and installing the fully charged battery on the vehicle. The lifting component 16 is arranged on the conveying component 12 and can move in the height direction relative to the conveying component 12 to drive the battery exchange component 13 to rise and fall relative to the conveying component 12. By rising or falling, the lifting component 16 can control the height of the battery exchange component 13, so that it can flexibly adapt to battery racks or vehicle battery compartments of different heights to smoothly complete the battery replacement operation.

[0059] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the battery exchange device 1 also includes a storage and access component 14, which is arranged on the carrying surface 131 and includes a movable part 141 that can move relative to the battery exchange component 13, and the movable part 141 is suitable for carrying the battery to move and extend or retract on the carrying surface 131. The movable part 141 can carry the battery to move to complete the storage and access of the battery. Specifically, the movable part 141 can extend from the carrying surface 131 to carry the battery on the battery rack and retract to the carrying surface 131, so that the battery is moved to the carrying surface 131 to complete the battery loading process. In addition, the movable part 141 can also extend from the carrying surface 131 with the battery to store the battery in the battery rack.

[0060] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the access component 14 also includes a fixing member 142, which is used to support and guide the movement of the movable member 141. The fixing member 142 is fixedly arranged on the battery exchange component 13, so that during the movement of the movable member 141, the fixing member 142 will not move relative to the battery exchange component 13 itself, and can provide a stable movement reference for the movable member 141.

[0061] The moving member 141 is movably disposed on the fixed member 142, so that the moving member 141 can change its position relative to the fixed member 142. Through the movement of the moving member 141 relative to the fixed member 142, the access component 14 can be extended or shortened. Specifically, when the moving member 141 moves in a direction away from the fixed member 142, the access component 14 will extend, so that the moving member 141 extends out of the bearing surface 131. On the contrary, when the moving member 141 moves in a direction close to the fixed member 142, the access component 14 will shorten, so that the moving member 141 retracts into the bearing surface 131.

[0062] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the access component 14 further includes an adjusting member 143, which is disposed between the moving member 141 and the fixed member 142, and provides a possibility for adjusting the relative distance between the moving member 141 and the fixed member 142, so that the moving member 141 can reach a position at a farther distance. The adjusting member 143 can move relative to the fixed member 142 and the moving member 141 respectively to adjust the moving distance of the moving member 141 relative to the fixed member 142.

[0063] Specifically, the fixed member 142, the adjusting member 143 and the moving member 141 can overlap in the height direction, and the overlapping degree of the adjusting member 143 with the fixed member 142 and the moving member 141 can be adjusted by moving the adjusting member 143 relative to the fixed member 142 and the moving member 141. Depending on the overlapping degree, the degree of extension or shortening of the access component 14 is also different. When the fixed member 142, the adjusting member 143 and the moving member 141 overlap to the minimum, the access component 14 extends to the longest; and when the overlapping degree between the fixed member 142, the adjusting member 143 and the moving member 141 gradually increases, the length of the access component 14 is shortened accordingly.

[0064] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the access component 14 also includes a driving member 144, which is responsible for providing the necessary power to drive the adjusting member 143 and the moving member 141 to move. The driving member 144 is arranged on the fixed member 142, and the fixed member 142 provides a mounting base for the driving member 144, and facilitates the driving member 144 to be connected with the adjusting member 143 and the moving member 141 respectively to drive the adjusting member 143 and the moving member 141 to move synchronously. The extension or shortening of the access component 14 can be achieved by the driving of the driving member 144. In the process of the access component 14 extending, the adjusting member 143 and the moving member 141 move synchronously in the direction away from the fixed member 142; and in the process of the access component 14 shortening, the adjusting member 143 and the moving member 141 move synchronously in the direction close to the fixed member 142.

[0065] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, a receiving groove 132 opened toward one side is formed on the bearing surface 131, and the receiving groove 132 is used to receive the access component 14, so that when the movable member 141 carries the battery and moves into the receiving groove 132, the battery can be stably supported on the supporting surface. The open side of the receiving groove 132 allows the movable member 141 to extend or retract into the receiving groove 132, so that the movable member 141 cooperates with the battery rack to realize the access of the battery. The fixed part is fixedly arranged in the receiving groove 132, and is used to guide the movable member 141 to move smoothly along a predetermined path in the receiving groove 132, so that the movable member 141 extends or retracts into the receiving groove 132 by cooperating with the movement of the fixed part.

[0066] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the battery swap device 1 also includes an identification component 17, which is arranged on the bearing surface 131 and is suitable for detecting the position of the battery on the bearing surface 131. By monitoring the position information of the battery, the battery swap device 1 can accurately identify and locate the battery, providing data support for subsequent battery swap operations. By controlling the movement state of the moving part 141 according to the position information of the battery, the battery swap device 1 can achieve more accurate and efficient battery access operations.

[0067] Specifically, when the identification component 17 detects that the battery is partially located in the predetermined area of ​​the bearing surface 131, by reducing the moving speed of the moving member 141, it is helpful for the moving member 141 to place the battery more stably on the supporting surface. When the identification component 17 detects that the battery is completely located in the predetermined area of ​​the bearing surface 131, the moving member 141 is controlled to stop moving, so that the battery is stably placed in the predetermined area of ​​the supporting surface. Of course, it can be understood that the above is only an exemplary description of the role of the identification component 17, and it cannot be understood as a limitation of the present utility model.

[0068] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the movable member 141 can move in a first direction relative to the battery exchange component 13, and the battery exchange device 1 also includes a limit member 18, which is fixedly arranged on the battery exchange component 13 and protrudes on the bearing surface 131. The limit member 18 can stop the battery in the second direction, and is used to limit the movement range of the battery in the second direction. The first direction is orthogonal to the second direction. For example, the first direction is the length direction of the battery exchange component 13, and the second direction is the width direction of the battery exchange component 13. The limit member 18 extends in the first direction along the edge of the battery exchange component 13, indicating that the limit member 18 and the movable member 141 have the same movement direction relative to the battery exchange component 13, and the limit member 18 extends along the edge of the battery exchange component 13, so the limit member 18 does not hinder the movement of the movable member 141 relative to the battery exchange component 13.

[0069] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a locking and unlocking component 19 is provided on the bearing surface 131, and the locking and unlocking component 19 is suitable for locking or unlocking the battery to the vehicle. During the battery replacement process, the locking and unlocking component 19 can cooperate with the corresponding structure on the battery to achieve locking or unlocking, thereby significantly improving the efficiency of the battery replacement operation, ensuring the safety of the battery during vehicle driving, and avoiding potential safety hazards caused by the battery falling off or loosening.
