[0023] Embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the present utility model.

[0024] First, as Figure 1 shown, the first direction is the left - right direction, the second direction is the front - back direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0025] Next, refer to the Figure 1 description of the battery transfer mechanism 100 of a vehicle battery swapping station according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0026] Referring to Figure 1 , the battery transfer mechanism 100 of a vehicle battery swapping station according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a slide rail 10 and a slide table 20. Specifically, the slide table 20 is slidably connected to the slide rail 10, and the number of slide tables 20 is multiple. That is to say, the number of slide tables 20 can be two, three, four or more, and any two slide tables 20 can move relatively independently along the slide rail 10.

[0027] When using the battery transfer mechanism 100 of the vehicle battery swapping station to swap the battery of a vehicle, first park the vehicle in the battery swapping area. The discharged battery on the vehicle is taken down from the vehicle and falls onto one of the slide tables 20. Then, the slide table 20 moves the discharged battery to the charging bin. Then, another slide table 20 carries the fully - charged battery and moves to the battery swapping area of the vehicle, and installs the fully - charged battery into the vehicle. At this time, the battery swapping of the vehicle is completed.

[0028] For the battery transfer mechanism 100 of the vehicle battery swapping station of the present utility model, any two slide tables 20 are set to be able to move relatively independently. The two slide tables 20 can be adjusted according to the position of the battery swapping area, so as to be adaptable to various vehicle battery swapping stations. Compared with the prior - art solution in which two slide tables 20 move together and the slide tables 20 cannot be adapted to various vehicle battery swapping stations, the battery transfer mechanism 100 of the vehicle battery swapping station of the present application can effectively improve the versatility of the slide tables 20, and further reduce the development cost. At the same time, the installation position of the slide tables 20 can be adjusted according to the space inside the vehicle battery swapping station, so as to improve the flexibility of the layout of the slide tables 20. Moreover, each slide table 20 is relatively independent, which is convenient for the maintenance of the slide tables 20.

[0029] In addition, by setting multiple slide tables 20, compared with a vehicle battery swapping station with one slide table 20, the battery swapping time can be saved, the battery swapping efficiency can be effectively improved, and thus the user experience can be improved. The multiple slide tables 20 can operate simultaneously, and further can swap the batteries of multiple vehicles, thereby improving the battery swapping efficiency again.

[0030] For the battery transmission mechanism 100 of a vehicle battery swapping station according to an embodiment of the present utility model, setting any two sliding tables 20 to be relatively independent in movement can effectively improve the versatility of the sliding tables 20, thereby reducing the development cost. At the same time, it can improve the flexibility of the layout of the sliding tables 20 and also facilitate the maintenance of the sliding tables 20.

[0031] According to some embodiments of the present utility model, referring to Figure 1 , the slide rail 10 extends along a first direction (such as the left - right direction shown in Figure 1 ), the number of the slide rails 10 is two, and the two slide rails 10 are arranged in parallel along a second direction (such as the front - back direction shown in Figure 1 ). The first direction intersects with the second direction. The sliding table 20 includes brackets 21, and the number of the brackets 21 is two. The two brackets 21 are respectively arranged on the two slide rails 10.

[0032] In this way, the two brackets 21 can ensure the stability of supporting the battery, thereby preventing the battery from falling off the sliding table 20, and further ensuring the safety of the battery swapping operation. At the same time, each bracket 21 moves on the corresponding slide rail 10, thus ensuring the smoothness of the movement of the sliding table 20 and further ensuring the safety of the battery swapping operation.

[0033] According to some alternative embodiments of the present utility model, referring to Figure 1 , the sliding table 20 further includes: a connecting plate 22, the connecting plate 22 extends along the second direction (such as the front - back direction shown in Figure 1 ), and both ends of the connecting plate 22 are respectively fixedly connected to the two brackets 21. Thus, the connecting plate 22 can keep the two brackets 21 moving synchronously, thereby preventing the battery from falling off the brackets 21 due to inconsistent movement of the two brackets 21, and further ensuring the safety of the battery swapping operation.

[0034] For example, as shown in Figure 1 , the two brackets 21 are arranged at intervals in the front - back direction, the connecting plate 22 extends in the front - back direction, and the front and back ends of the connecting plate 22 are respectively connected to the corresponding brackets 21.

[0035] According to some alternative embodiments of the present utility model, referring to Figure 1 , the connecting plate 22 is connected to one side of the two brackets 21 in the first direction (such as the left - right direction shown in Figure 1 ). Thus, the connecting plate 22 is reasonably positioned, which can not only fix the two brackets 21 but also does not affect the installation of other structures.

[0036] According to some embodiments of the present utility model, referring to Figure 1 , the connecting plate 22 is provided with an avoidance hole 221, and the avoidance hole 221 extends along the thickness direction of the connecting plate 22 (such as Figure 1The vertical direction (as shown) penetrates through the connecting plate 22, and the avoidance hole 221 penetrates through one side edge of the connecting plate 22 facing the bracket 21 and is located at the middle position of the connecting plate 22 in the second direction. Thus, the avoidance hole 221 can provide an avoidance space for other structures, such as components like the unlocking and locking mechanism and the battery. Therefore, the normal operation of the battery transmission mechanism 100 of the vehicle battery swapping station can be ensured.

[0037] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 , the number of the sliding platforms 20 is two, and the two sliding platforms 20 are symmetrically arranged in the first direction (such as Figure 1 the left - right direction as shown). Thus, the two sliding platforms 20 respectively transmit the depleted battery and the fully - charged battery, which can save the battery swapping time and improve the battery swapping efficiency. At the same time, the two sliding platforms 20 can meet the requirements of the vehicle battery swapping station, so that the space occupied by the battery transmission mechanism 100 of the vehicle battery swapping station can be reduced, and further the floor area can be decreased.

[0038] For example, as Figure 1 shown, the number of the sliding platforms 20 is two, and the two sliding platforms 20 are symmetrically arranged along the left - right direction. A connecting plate 22 is connected to the left side of the left sliding platform 20, and an avoidance hole 221 is provided on the right side of the connecting plate 22, and the avoidance hole 221 penetrates through the right side edge of the connecting plate 22. A connecting plate 22 is connected to the right side of the right sliding platform 20, and an avoidance hole 221 is provided on the left side of the connecting plate 22, and the avoidance hole 221 penetrates through the left side edge of the connecting plate 22.

[0039] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 , the battery transmission mechanism 100 of the vehicle battery swapping station may include: a transmission assembly 30, and the transmission assembly 30 is used to drive the connecting plate 22 to move. Thus, the transmission assembly 30 drives the connecting plate 22 to move, the connecting plate 22 drives the bracket 21 to move, and the bracket 21 drives the battery to move, thereby realizing the battery swapping function. For example, as Figure 1 shown, the number of the transmission assemblies 30 is two, and each transmission assembly 30 respectively drives the corresponding connecting plate 22 to move.

[0040] According to some alternative embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 , the transmission assembly 30 includes: transmission belts 31 and a power mechanism 32. The number of the transmission belts 31 is two, and the two transmission belts 31 are respectively connected to both ends of the connecting plate 22 in the second direction (such as Figure 1 the front - back direction as shown), the two transmission belts 31 extend in the first direction (such as Figure 1 the left - right direction as shown) and are arranged at intervals in the second direction, and the power mechanism 32 is connected to the transmission belts 31, and the power mechanism 32 is used to drive the transmission belts 31 to rotate.

[0041] In this way, the power mechanism 32 drives the conveyor belt 31 to rotate, and the conveyor belt 31 drives the connecting plate 22 to move. Thus, the battery can move following the connecting plate 22 through the bracket 21, and the battery swapping function can be realized accordingly.

[0042] For example, as Figure 1 shown, there are two conveyor belts 31. The two conveyor belts 31 extend in the left - right direction and are arranged at intervals in the front - back direction. The front conveyor belt 31 is connected to the front side of the connecting plate 22, the rear conveyor belt 31 is connected to the rear side of the connecting plate 22, and the power mechanism 32 is connected to the conveyor belt 31.

[0043] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 , the battery transmission mechanism 100 of the vehicle battery swapping station includes: a frame 40, and a slide rail 10 is arranged on the frame 40. Thus, the frame 40 provides a layout space for the slide rail 10, facilitating the layout of the slide rail 10.

[0044] According to some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 , the bracket 21 includes: a connecting block 211, a support bar 212, and a support column 213. The connecting block 211 is connected to the slide rail 10; the support bar 212 is arranged on the upper side of the connecting block 211 (such as the upper side of the connecting block 211 shown in Figure 1 ), and the battery is adapted to be supported on the support bar 212; the support column 213 is arranged between the connecting block 211 and the support bar 212, and both ends of the support column 213 (such as the upper end and the lower end of the support column 213 shown in Figure 1 ) are respectively connected to the connecting block 211 and the support bar 212.

[0045] In this way, the bracket 21 is connected to the slide rail 10 through the connecting block 211, ensuring that the bracket 21 can move along the slide rail 10. At the same time, the support bar 212 facilitates the placement of the battery, improving the safety of the battery swapping operation and effectively preventing the battery from falling off the bracket 21. Moreover, the support column 213 can support the support bar 212, ensuring the supporting force of the support bar 212 and effectively preventing the support bar 212 from being damaged.

[0046] For example, as Figure 1 shown, there are multiple connecting blocks 211. The multiple connecting blocks 211 extend in the left - right direction and are all connected to the slide rail 10. The support bar 212 is a long strip extending in the left - right direction and is arranged on the upper side of the connecting blocks 211. The support column 213 extends vertically. The lower end of the support column 213 is connected to the connecting block 211, and the upper end of the support column 213 is connected to the support bar 212.

[0047] When the battery transmission mechanism 100 of the vehicle battery swapping station is working, first park the vehicle in the battery swapping area. At this time, the left power mechanism 32 operates to drive the rotation of the two left conveyor belts 31. The left conveyor belt 31 drives the movement of the left connecting plate 22, and the connecting plate 22 drives the movement of the connecting blocks 211 of the two brackets 21, so that the left sliding table 20 follows the movement of the bracket 21 until the left sliding table 20 moves to the battery swapping area. The depleted battery on the vehicle falls from the vehicle onto the left sliding table 20. Then, the left sliding table 20 moves to the left to convey the depleted battery to the charging bin. At the same time, the fully charged battery falls onto the right sliding table 20 from the battery bin. At this time, the right power mechanism 32 operates to drive the rotation of the two right conveyor belts 31. The right conveyor belt 31 drives the movement of the right connecting plate 22, and the connecting plate 22 drives the movement of the connecting blocks 211 of the two brackets 21, so that the right sliding table 20 follows the movement of the bracket 21 until the right sliding table 20 moves to the battery swapping area. At this time, the fully charged battery is installed in the vehicle, and the battery swapping work of the vehicle is completed.
