The first battery swapping part 20 can perform battery swapping operations on the first vehicle using the first battery, and the second battery swapping part 20 can perform battery swapping operations on the second vehicle using the second battery. By setting the first battery swapping channel 60 and the second battery swapping channel 70, battery swapping for two different vehicle models can be carried out simultaneously, which is beneficial to improving the battery swapping efficiency.

[0048] Combined with the attached Figure 1 and the attached Figure 2 As shown, the first positioning part 10 includes a first front-wheel adjusting mechanism 11 and a first rear-wheel adjusting mechanism 12 distributed along the first direction. The first front-wheel adjusting mechanism 11 is used to adjust the position of the front wheels of the first vehicle, and the first rear-wheel adjusting mechanism 12 is used to adjust the position of the rear wheels of the first vehicle, so that the battery swapping position of the first vehicle cooperates with the first battery swapping part 20, which can improve the efficiency of positioning and battery swapping. The first battery swapping channel 60 is located between the first front-wheel adjusting mechanism 11 and the first rear-wheel adjusting mechanism 12 in the first direction.

[0049] As shown in the attached Figure 1 The second positioning part 30 includes a second front-wheel adjusting mechanism 31 and a second rear-wheel adjusting mechanism 32 distributed along the first direction.

[0050] As shown in the attached Figure 5 figure, the first battery swapping unit 20 includes an unlocking and locking member 21, and guiding platforms 22 located on both sides of the unlocking and locking member 21 along the second direction. Combining with the attached Figure 1 figure, the first battery swapping unit 20 is located between the first front-wheel adjusting mechanism 11 and the first rear-wheel adjusting mechanism 12, and is located on the first battery swapping channel 60. The guiding platform 22 can move up or down relative to the unlocking and locking member 21 in the third direction, and the unlocking and locking member 21 can move in the third direction relative to the first battery swapping channel 60 to lock or unlock the first battery of at least one specification. Moreover, the unlocking and locking member 21 can move along the second direction on the first battery swapping channel 60 to cooperate with the battery storage area 50 to pick up and place at least one first battery.

[0051] As shown in the attached Figure 5 figure, each of the second battery swapping units 40 includes an unlocking and locking member 21, and guiding platforms 22 located on both sides of the unlocking and locking member 21 along the second direction. The second battery swapping unit 40 is located between the second front-wheel adjusting mechanism 31 and the second rear-wheel adjusting mechanism 32, and is located on the second battery swapping channel 70. The guiding platform 22 can move up or down relative to the unlocking and locking member 21 in the third direction, and the unlocking and locking member 21 can move in the third direction relative to the second battery swapping channel 70 to lock or unlock the second battery of at least one specification. Moreover, the unlocking and locking member 21 can move along the second direction on the second battery swapping channel 70 to cooperate with the battery storage area 50 to pick up and place at least one second battery.

[0052] Taking the first vehicle as an example, when the first vehicle performs a battery swapping operation, the position of the first vehicle is adjusted through the first positioning portion 10 so that the battery swapping position of the first vehicle cooperates with the unlocking and locking member 21. The unlocking and locking member 21 rises along the third direction to unlock the first battery on the first vehicle, and the first battery falls onto the unlocking and locking member 21. Subsequently, the unlocking and locking member 21 moves along the first battery swapping channel 60 to cooperate with the battery storage area 50, and a new first battery can be taken out through the battery storage area 50. Then, the new first battery is transported to the battery swapping position of the first vehicle through the unlocking and locking member 21 for locking, so as to complete the picking up, placing and replacement of the first battery.

[0053] As shown in the attached Figure 2 figure, both the first battery swapping unit 20 and the second battery swapping unit 40 further include a driving assembly.

[0054] As shown in the attached Figure 2As shown, the first driving part 24 includes a driving source 241, a connecting shaft 242 and a first belt assembly. The driving source 241 is installed on the mounting bracket 23. The connecting shaft 242 is connected to the driving source 241. The first belt assembly is connected to the driving source 241 through the connecting shaft 242, and the first belt assembly is connected to the guiding platform 22. The driving source 241 is used to drive the connecting shaft 242 to rotate around its own axis, and then drive the guiding platform 22 to move in the third direction through the first belt assembly.

[0055] Combined with the attached Figure 2 and the attached Figure 3 As shown, the first belt assembly includes a first runner 243, a second runner 244 and a transmission belt 245. The first runner 243 is in transmission connection with the driving source 241 through the connecting shaft 242. The driving source 241 drives the first runner 243 to rotate around its own axis through the connecting shaft 242. The second runner 244 is located on one side of the first runner 243 in the second direction and is in transmission with the first runner 243 through the transmission belt 245. One end of the transmission belt 245 is fixedly connected to the first runner 243, and the other end is connected to the guiding platform 22. When the driving source 241 drives the first runner 243 to rotate, the winding or unwinding of the transmission belt 245 can be realized, and thus the rising or falling of the guiding platform 22 in the third direction can be realized.

[0056] In one example, two first belt assemblies are provided. The two first belt assemblies are distributed on the mounting bracket 23 in the second direction and are symmetrically installed on both sides of the driving source 241 in the second direction to be connected to the guiding platforms 22 located on both sides of the locking and unlocking member 21.

[0057] In one example, as shown in the attached Figure 2 As shown, four first belt assemblies are provided. The four first belt assemblies are grouped in pairs. The two groups of first belt assemblies are installed on the mounting bracket 23 in the first direction and are in transmission connection through the connecting shaft 242 to realize the synchronous movement of the two groups of first belt assemblies. The two first belt assemblies in the same group are distributed on the mounting bracket 23 in the second direction and are symmetrically installed on both sides of the driving source 241 in the second direction.

The adjusting part includes a supporting seat 246 and an adjusting wheel 247. The supporting seat 246 is detachably installed on the mounting frame 23. The adjusting wheel 247 is detachably installed on the supporting seat 246 and can rotate around its own axis relative to the supporting seat 246. The transmission belt 245 on the first runner 243 and / or the second runner 244 is connected to the guiding platform 22 through the adjusting wheel 247. A card slot matched with the transmission belt 245 is formed on the outermost surface of the adjusting wheel 247 along the radial direction. The transmission belt 245 is embedded in the card slot. The direction of the transmission belt 245 can be adjusted through the adjusting wheel 247, and a good supporting effect can be achieved, making the movement of the transmission belt 245 more stable and smooth. The position of the supporting seat 246 on the mounting frame 23 can be adjusted according to the installation position of the first belt assembly, and the adjustment is convenient.

[0059] Exemplarily, the supporting seat 246 is installed on the mounting frame 23 by a screwing method.

[0060] In one example, as shown in the appendix Figure 3 As shown, a limiting part 248 is detachably connected to the supporting seat 246. The limiting part 248 is installed on one side of the adjusting wheel 247. The transmission belt 245 passes between the adjusting wheel 247 and the limiting part 248. The limiting part 248 can play a role in limiting the transmission belt 245, so that the winding or unwinding of the transmission belt 245 is stable, ensuring the stability of the movement of the guiding platform 22 and reducing the shaking phenomenon. The installation position of the limiting part 248 relative to the supporting seat 246 can be adjusted according to the position of the transmission belt 245, and the adjustment is simple and convenient.

[0061] Exemplarily, the limiting part 248 is installed on the supporting seat 246 by a screwing method.

[0062] In one example, in combination with appendix Figure 2 and appendix Figure 4 , the transmission belt 245 is connected to the guiding platform 22 through a fixing part 25.

One end of the transmission belt 245 passes through the clamping part and is wound around the fixing shaft 252, and the free end of the transmission belt 245 is fixedly connected to the clamping part.

[0063] As shown in the appendix Figure 4As shown, the clamping member includes a first clamping plate 253, a second clamping plate 254, a core plate 255, and a fastener 256. The core plate 255 is located between the first clamping plate 253 and the second clamping plate 254, and the core plate 255 is connected to the first clamping plate 253 and the second clamping plate 254 by the fastener 256.

The free end of the transmission belt 245 passes through the space between the second clamping plate 254 and the core plate 255. By adjusting the fastener 256, the distance between the first clamping plate 253, the second clamping plate 254, and the core plate 255 can be adjusted to clamp and fix the transmission belt 245.

[0064] Exemplarily, the base 251 is detachably mounted on the mounting frame 23 by screwing.
