[0002] Traditional heavy trucks use diesel as the main fuel, with a high proportion of carbon emissions. The promotion of new energy for heavy trucks is an inevitable path under the background of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.

[0003] At present, with the unification of battery swapping standards across regions, the applicable range of battery swapping heavy trucks will be greatly improved, further driving the development of the industry. In the long run, the breakthrough of the battery swapping mode in the field of new energy heavy trucks may become a preview of the development process of the battery swapping mode in the field of passenger cars. In addition, under the background of the full electrification of vehicles in the public domain, heavy-duty sanitation / cleaning operation special vehicles, regional transport tractors and dump trucks, various freight trucks, etc. are expected to usher in a new wave of new energy procurement.

[0004] However, for the diverse market demands, in the transportation scenarios where the customer's transportation capacity is gradually increasing, it is necessary to splice the basic battery swapping cabin module and the extended battery swapping cabin module. At present, the domestic application modes of battery swapping stations include "3 + 1", "4 + 1", "7 + 1", etc. For the spliced battery swapping cabins, the battery swapping robot needs to run between the basic battery swapping cabin and the extended battery swapping cabin. Therefore, the parallelism and straightness of the robot tracks of the basic battery swapping cabin and the extended battery swapping cabin are particularly important after splicing. For this reason, there is an urgent need for a splicable track structure for a battery swapping robot. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to solve the problems of the prior art, the utility model provides a splicable track structure for a battery swapping robot, including:

[0006] Two basic module rail beams, which are connected in parallel to the inner top of the cabin of the basic battery swapping cabin module;

[0007] Two extended module rail beams, which are connected in parallel to the inner top of the cabin of the extended battery swapping cabin module;

[0008] Two basic module tracks, which are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the two basic module rail beams;

[0009] Two extended module tracks, which are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the two extended module rail beams;

[0010] One end of each of the two basic module rail beams is respectively butted with one end of each of the two extended module rail beams;

[0012] And mating docking notches are provided at the ends where the base module track is docked with the expansion module track.

[0013] Further, both the base module rail beam and the expansion module rail beam are I-shaped rail beams. The base module track and the expansion module track are respectively connected to the bottom flanges of the base module rail beam and the expansion module rail beam, and a gap is left between the base module track and the expansion module track and the webs of the base module rail beam and the expansion module rail beam respectively.

[0014] Further, at the docking location, the length of the base module track is shorter than the length of the base module rail beam, and the length of the expansion module track is longer than the length of the expansion module rail beam.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the embodiments of the present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the orientation or positional relationship indicated by "bottom", "top", "left", "right", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.

[0025] It should also be noted that in this embodiment, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "arranged" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0026] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a replaceable battery robot spliceable track structure, comprising: two base module track beams 1 and two extension module track beams 2. The two base module track beams 1 are connected in parallel to the inner top of the cabin of the base battery replacement module, and the two extension module track beams 2 are connected in parallel to the inner top of the cabin of the extension battery replacement module; on the opposite sides of the two base module track beams 1, base module tracks 3 are connected, and on the opposite sides of the two extension module track beams 2, extension module tracks 4 are connected.

[0027] The base module catenary beam 1 and the extended module catenary beam 2 are respectively used to support the base module track 3 and the extended module track 4. During use, one end of the cabin body of the base battery swapping module is docked with one end of the cabin body of the extended battery swapping module. By adjusting the heights and positions of the two base module catenary beams 1 and the two extended module catenary beams 2, the two base module tracks 3 are respectively docked flush with the two extended module tracks 4, so that the battery swapping robot can run between the two base module tracks 3 and the two extended module tracks 4, realizing the expandability of the travel of the battery swapping robot.

[0028] Secondly, mating docking notches 5 are machined and provided at the docking ends of the base module track 3 and the extended module track 4, which can ensure the parallelism and straightness when the base module track 3 and the extended module track 4 are docked, and ensure the smooth operation of the battery swapping robot.

[0029] In addition, in this embodiment, one extended battery swapping module is taken as an example for illustration. During actual use, according to customer requirements and actual processing conditions, several extended battery swapping modules can be selected, and the cabin bodies of the base battery swapping module and the several extended battery swapping modules are arranged and docked in sequence. By adjusting the docking and leveling of the base module catenary beam 1 and the extended module catenary beam 2, the splicing between each track is realized.

[0030] Furthermore, both the base module catenary beam 1 and the extended module catenary beam 2 are I-shaped catenary beams. The base module track 3 and the extended module track 4 are respectively connected to the bottom flanges of the base module catenary beam 1 and the extended module catenary beam 2, and there are gaps between the base module track 3 and the extended module track 4 and the webs of the base module catenary beam 1 and the extended module catenary beam 2 respectively, so as to ensure that the wheel flanges of the battery swapping robot can pass through.

[0031] See Figure 3 , the base module catenary beam 1 and the extended module catenary beam 2 are respectively located at the inner top of the cabin bodies of the base battery swapping module and the extended battery swapping module. The top flanges of the base module catenary beam 1 and the extended module catenary beam 2 are respectively connected to the inner top of the cabin bodies of the base battery swapping module and the extended battery swapping module, and the bottom flanges of the base module catenary beam 1 and the extended module catenary beam 2 are respectively connected to the lower supports 6 of the cabin bodies of the base battery swapping module and the extended battery swapping module.

[0032] At the docking place, the length of the base module track 3 is shorter than the length of the base module catenary beam 1, and the length of the extended module track 4 is longer than the length of the extended module catenary beam 2, so as to eliminate the influence of factors such as machining errors and ensure that the splicing at the track is flush.

[0033] Furthermore, the docking notch 5 is a Z-shaped notch. The directions of the docking notches 5 of the two basic module tracks 3 are kept consistent, and the directions of the docking notches 5 of the two extended module tracks 4 are kept consistent, which is convenient for track splicing. Moreover, after the basic module track 3 and the extended module track 4 are spliced, the splicing part can be slightly polished to ensure that the splicing part is at the same level.

[0034] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
