[0043] In the related art, battery swapping stations generally adopt key equipment such as centering mechanisms, vehicle lifting mechanisms, RGVs (Rail Guided Vehicles), and stackers to cooperate in operation to achieve the disassembly and handling of batteries, which not only occupies a large amount of space resources but also makes the overall structure of the battery swapping station complex and the maintenance difficulty increased.

[0044] The following refers to Figures 1-7 Describe the battery swapping device 1 according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0045] As Figures 1-4 shown, the battery swapping device 1 according to the present utility model is used for a battery swapping station 2. The battery swapping device 1 includes a moving track 11, a conveying component 12, a battery swapping component 13, and a storage and retrieval component 14. The conveying component 12 is movably arranged on the moving track 11 to be adapted to move along the extension direction of the moving track 11; the battery swapping component 13 is vertically movably arranged on the conveying component 12 and is adapted to move under the drive of the conveying component 12. The battery swapping component 13 is formed with a bearing surface 131 adapted to carry a battery; the storage and retrieval component 14 is arranged on the bearing surface 131 and includes a moving member 141 that can move relative to the battery swapping component 13. The moving member 141 is adapted to carry the battery to move and extend or retract from the bearing surface 131.

[0046] According to the battery swapping device 1 of the present utility model, the moving track 11 provides a moving path for the conveying component 12, enabling the conveying component 12 to move along the path. The extending direction of the moving track 11 is set according to the layout and requirements of the battery swapping station 2, so that the battery can be transported within the battery swapping station 2 as needed, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the battery swapping process.

[0047] The conveying component 12 is movably arranged on the moving track 11. By moving along the extending direction of the moving track 11, the battery swapping device 1 can flexibly move to different positions within the battery swapping station 2 to realize the process of removing the discharged battery from the vehicle and installing the fully charged battery onto the vehicle.

[0048] The battery swapping component 13 is formed with a bearing surface 131 for carrying the battery. After the battery is loaded on the bearing surface 131, through the cooperation of the conveying component 12 and the moving track 11, the transportation of the battery within the battery swapping station 2 can be realized. Moreover, the battery swapping component 13 is liftably arranged on the conveying component 12, so that the battery swapping component 13 can not only move along the moving track 11 driven by the conveying component 12, but also perform a lifting movement in the vertical direction as needed to adjust the position height of the bearing surface 131 to realize the installation or disassembly of the battery on or from the vehicle.

[0049] The access component 14 is arranged on the bearing surface 131 of the battery swapping component 13 and includes a moving member 141 that can move relative to the battery swapping component 13. The moving member 141 can carry the battery to move to complete the access of the battery. Specifically, the moving member 141 can extend out of the bearing surface 131 to carry the battery on the battery rack and retract into the bearing surface 131 to move the battery onto the bearing surface 131 to complete the loading process of the battery. Moreover, the moving member 141 can also carry the battery and extend out of the bearing surface 131 to store the battery in the battery rack.

[0050] By performing a lifting movement in the vertical direction, the battery swapping component 13 can adjust its height position, thereby realizing the access of the battery swapping component 13 to the battery racks at different height positions.

[0051] Therefore, the battery swapping device 1 according to the present utility model can realize the access, installation and disassembly of the battery, improve the efficiency and convenience of the battery swapping operation, optimize the operation process of the battery swapping station 2, and at the same time reduce the space occupation and maintenance cost.

[0052] According to some embodiments of the present utility model, such as Figure 4As shown, the access component 14 further includes a fixing member 142 for supporting and guiding the movement of the moving member 141. The fixing member 142 is fixedly arranged on the power swapping component 13. Therefore, during the movement of the moving member 141, the fixing member 142 will not move relative to the power swapping component 13 itself, and can provide a stable movement reference for the moving member 141.

[0053] The moving member 141 is movably arranged on the fixing member 142, such that the moving member 141 can change its position relative to the fixing member 142. Through the movement of the moving member 141 relative to the fixing member 142, the access component 14 can be extended or shortened. Specifically, when the moving member 141 moves away from the fixing member 142, the access component 14 will extend, causing the moving member 141 to extend out of the bearing surface 131. On the contrary, when the moving member 141 moves closer to the fixing member 142, the access component 14 will shorten, causing the moving member 141 to retract into the bearing surface 131.

[0054] According to some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 4 shown, the access component 14 further includes an adjusting member 143 arranged between the moving member 141 and the fixing member 142, which makes it possible to adjust the relative distance between the moving member 141 and the fixing member 142, enabling the moving member 141 to reach positions at a greater distance. The adjusting member 143 can move relative to the fixing member 142 and the moving member 141 respectively to adjust the moving distance of the moving member 141 relative to the fixing member 142.

[0055] Specifically, the fixing member 142, the adjusting member 143, and the moving member 141 can be overlapped in the height direction. By moving the adjusting member 143 relative to the fixing member 142 and the moving member 141 respectively, the overlapping degree of the adjusting member 143 with the fixing member 142 and the moving member 141 can be adjusted. According to different overlapping degrees, the extending or shortening degree of the access component 14 is also different. When the overlapping degree of the fixing member 142, the adjusting member 143, and the moving member 141 is the smallest, the access component 14 extends to the longest; while when the overlapping degree between the fixing member 142, the adjusting member 143, and the moving member 141 gradually increases, the length of the access component 14 is correspondingly shortened.

[0056] According to some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 4As shown, the access component 14 further 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 disposed on the fixing member 142, and the fixing member 142 provides an installation base for the driving member 144 and facilitates the connection of the driving member 144 to the adjusting member 143 and the moving member 141 respectively to drive the synchronous movement of the adjusting member 143 and the moving member 141. Through the driving of the driving member 144, the elongation or shortening of the access component 14 can be achieved. During the elongation of the access component 14, the adjusting member 143 and the moving member 141 move synchronously away from the fixing member 142; while during the shortening of the access component 14, the adjusting member 143 and the moving member 141 move synchronously towards the fixing member 142.

[0057] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 3 shown, a receiving groove 132 that is open towards one side is formed on the bearing surface 131. The receiving groove 132 is used to receive the access component 14, so that when the moving member 141 carries the battery 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 moving member 141 to extend or retract from the receiving groove 132, facilitating the cooperation between the moving member 141 and the battery rack to achieve the access of the battery. The fixing portion is fixedly disposed in the receiving groove 132 and is used to guide the moving member 141 to move smoothly along a predetermined path in the receiving groove 132, so that the moving member 141 extends or retracts from the receiving groove 132 through the moving cooperation with the fixing portion.

[0058] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the battery swapping device 1 further includes an identification component 17, which is disposed on the bearing surface 131 and is adapted to detect the position of the battery on the bearing surface 131. By monitoring the position information of the battery, the battery swapping device 1 can accurately identify and locate the battery, providing data support for subsequent battery swapping operations. By controlling the moving state of the moving member 141 according to the position information of the battery, the battery swapping device 1 can achieve more accurate and efficient battery access operations.

[0059] Specifically, when the identification component 17 detects that the battery has partially entered the predetermined area of the bearing surface 131, by reducing the moving speed of the moving member 141, it helps the moving member 141 to more stably place the battery on the supporting surface subsequently. When the identification component 17 detects that the battery has completely entered the predetermined area of the bearing surface 131, by controlling the moving member 141 to stop moving, 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 function of the identification component 17 and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0060] According to some embodiments of the present invention, asFigures 1-3 As shown, the moving member 141 can move relative to the battery swapping component 13 in the first direction. The battery swapping device 1 further includes a limiting member 18, which is fixedly arranged on the battery swapping component 13 and protrudes on the bearing surface 131. The limiting member 18 can abut against the battery in the second direction to limit the moving 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 swapping component 13, and the second direction is the width direction of the battery swapping component 13. The limiting member 18 extends along the edge of the battery swapping component 13 in the first direction, indicating that the moving direction of the limiting member 18 relative to the battery swapping component 13 is the same as that of the moving member 141. Moreover, since the limiting member 18 extends along the edge of the battery swapping component 13, the limiting member 18 does not hinder the movement of the moving member 141 relative to the battery swapping component 13.

[0061] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the battery swapping device 1 further includes a lifting component 16, which is arranged between the conveying component 12 and the battery swapping component 13, so that the lifting component 16 can provide an adjustable height difference between the conveying component 12 and the battery swapping component 13. The lifting component 16 can move relative to the conveying component 12 in the height direction to drive the battery swapping component 13 to lift or lower relative to the conveying component 12. By rising or falling, the lifting component 16 can control the height of the battery swapping component 13, enabling it to flexibly adapt to battery racks or vehicle battery compartments at different heights to smoothly complete the battery replacement operation.

[0062] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 5 shown, the battery swapping device 1 further includes a first floating member 152 and a second floating member 153. The first floating member 152 and the second floating member 153 are oppositely arranged in the height direction to define a floating space therebetween. The floating space allows the first floating member 152 to move relative to the second floating member 153. The floating space can provide degrees of freedom for the battery swapping component 13, enabling it to adjust its position relative to the lifting component 16. The first floating member 152 is connected to the battery swapping component 13, so the movement of the battery swapping component 13 will be directly affected by the first floating member 152. The second floating member 153 is connected to the lifting component 16. Therefore, when the first floating member 152 moves relative to the second floating member 153, the battery swapping component 13 will correspondingly adjust its position relative to the lifting component 16. When the battery swapping component 13 is docked with the battery on the vehicle, the first floating member 152 and the second floating member 153 will move relative to each other to compensate for the position deviation between the battery swapping component 13 and the battery, ensuring a stable battery disassembly process.

[0063] By adjusting the position of the battery swapping component 13 relative to the lifting component 16, the battery swapping component 13 can more accurately dock with the battery on the vehicle, making the bearing surface 131 closely fit the battery surface, forming a stable and reliable connection, and thus removing the battery from the vehicle.

[0064] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 5 shown, the battery swapping device 1 further includes an elastic member 151. The elastic member 151 is disposed in the floating space. One end of the elastic member 151 is connected to the first floating member 152, and the other end of the elastic member 151 is connected to the second floating member 153. The elastic member 151 not only flexibly connects the first floating member 152 and the second floating member 153, but also can adjust the positions of the first floating member 152 and the second floating member through stretching deformation. When the battery swapping component 13 docks with the battery on the vehicle, the first floating member 152 and the second floating member 153 will spontaneously move relative to each other through the stretching deformation of the elastic member 151 to compensate for the position deviation between the battery swapping component 13 and the battery, so that the battery removal process proceeds stably.

[0065] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 5 shown, the first floating member 152 is formed with a first connecting rod 1521 extending towards the second floating member 153. The free end of the first connecting rod 1521 is formed with a first floating surface 1522 facing the first floating member 152; the second floating member 153 is formed with a second connecting rod 1531 extending towards the first floating member 152. The free end of the second connecting rod 1531 is formed with a second floating surface 1532 facing the second floating member 153. The second floating surface 1532 and the first floating surface 1522 are disposed opposite to each other in the height direction, so that the elastic member 151 can be disposed between the first floating surface 1522 and the second floating surface 1532, and one end of the elastic member 151 is connected to the first floating surface 1522, and the other end of the elastic member 151 is connected to the second floating surface 1532. By providing the first connecting rod 1521 and the second connecting rod 1531, when the first floating member 152 and the second floating member 153 move relatively closer to each other, the first connecting rod 1521 and the second connecting rod 1531 will move correspondingly. At this time, the first floating surface 1522 and the second floating surface 1532 move relatively away from each other, so that the elastic member 151 is subjected to a tensile force, realizing the stretching deformation of the elastic member 151 to provide an adjustment amount.

[0066] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 5As shown, the floating component 15 further includes a rotating part 154, which is rotatably arranged on at least one of the first floating surface 1522 and the second floating surface 1532. The rotating part 154 can be arranged on the first floating surface 1522, or can be arranged on the second floating surface 1532, or can be arranged on both the first floating surface 1522 and the second floating surface 1532 at the same time. The rotating part 154 is connected to the corresponding end of the elastic member 151. The rotating part 154 on the first floating surface 1522 is connected to one end of the elastic member 151, and the rotating part 154 on the second floating surface 1532 is connected to the other end of the elastic member 151. When the elastic member 151 is stretched, the rotating part 154 allows the elastic member 151 to have a degree of freedom of rotation in addition to the linear stretching, so that the first floating member 152 and the second floating member 153 can swing in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the floating component 15 has a more flexible adjustment ability.

[0067] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 5 shown, the second floating member 153 is formed with an avoidance hole 1533 penetrating in the height direction, and the first link 1521 is inserted through the avoidance hole 1533. One end of the first link 1521 is inserted 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 link 1521, so that when the first floating member 152 and the second floating member 153 move relative to each other, the first link 1521 moves in the avoidance hole 1533 without being blocked. 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 at the same time, the functional reliability of the floating component 15 is ensured.

[0068] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 5 shown, the elastic members 151 are configured as multiple, and the multiple elastic members 151 work together to share the load. Each elastic member 151 has an independent stretching and deforming ability, 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, and allows the first floating member 152 and the second floating member 153 to have a relative tilting movement, thus 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 component 15, indicating that the multiple elastic members 151 are arranged in a circumferential direction around the central area of the floating component 15, so that no matter in which direction the floating component 15 is subjected to an external force, there will be a corresponding elastic member 151 to provide timely and effective support and adjustment.

[0069] According to some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 5As shown, a plurality of first link rods 1521 are configured to be correspondingly arranged on the first floating member 152 and corresponding to the elastic members 151, indicating that each elastic member 151 has a first link rod 1521 connected thereto, such that when the elastic member 151 is stressed, it can effectively transmit force through the first link rod 1521 to achieve its functions of support and buffering. The plurality of first link rods 1521 are symmetrically arranged in the length direction and / or the width direction, strengthening the structural stability of the floating member 15 and also ensuring the uniformity and efficiency of force transmission. When the first floating member 152 is subjected to an external force, the plurality of first link rods 1521 can work together, and through the telescopic deformation of the elastic members 151 connected thereto respectively, jointly resist and balance the external force, so that the first floating member 152 maintains a relatively stable posture.
