Among them, the vehicle can replace the battery pack in the battery-swapping channel, and the safety of the battery-swapping channel will affect the success of battery pack replacement.

[0037] In view of the above situation, the present disclosure provides a switch door for a battery swapping station. Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the switch door of the battery swapping station shown according to an exemplary embodiment Figure 1 . As Figure 1 shown, the switch door of the battery swapping station includes:

[0038] A support guide rail 11; a driving mechanism 01 and a transmission mechanism 02 are provided on the support guide rail 11;

[0039] The driving mechanism 01 is in transmission connection with the transmission mechanism 02; wherein, when the driving mechanism 01 rotates, it drives at least two transmission chains of the transmission mechanism 02 to perform co-directional transmission;

[0040] The switch door 10 of the battery swapping station includes two door leaves; the two door leaves are fixedly connected to at least two transmission chains that perform co-directional transmission in the transmission mechanism 02; wherein, the two door leaves of the switch door 10 of the battery swapping station move in opposite directions under the drive of the at least two transmission chains to open or close when the battery swapping vehicle is swapping batteries.

[0041] In this exemplary embodiment, the switch door 10 of the battery swapping station adopts two doors that are simultaneously driven in two opposite directions. The two door leaves can be simultaneously driven in two opposite directions to achieve opening and closing. The same driving mechanism 01 is used to simultaneously open and close the two door leaves. The switch door 10 of the battery swapping station is installed on the battery swapping channel of the battery swapping station, which is beneficial to reducing foreign objects from falling in through the structure of the switch door 10, achieving a dust-proof effect and reducing false alarms and other situations.

[0042] In some embodiments, the transmission mechanism 02 includes a chain connecting plate;

[0043] The two door leaves of the switch door 10 of the battery swapping station are respectively fixedly connected to the at least two transmission chains through the chain connecting plate.

[0044] In this exemplary embodiment, in the present application, the two door leaves can be fixedly connected to the at least two transmission chains through the chain connecting plate, so as to strengthen the fixed connection relationship between the two door leaves and the at least two transmission chains.

[0045] In some embodiments, the two transmission chains include a first transmission chain 13 and a second transmission chain 18; both of the two transmission chains are transmission chains with two parallel upper and lower chains for co-directional transmission;

[0046] The chain connecting plate includes a first chain connecting plate 14 and a second chain connecting plate 20; as Figure 1 shown, the two door leaves of the switch station opening and closing door 10 include a first door leaf 7 and a second door leaf 9;

[0049] In this exemplary embodiment, Figure 2 is a schematic structural diagram of the switch station opening and closing door shown according to an exemplary embodiment Figure 2 . As Figure 2 shown, both drive chains are drive chains in which two parallel chains run in the same direction, that is, the two upper parallel chains of the two drive chains run in the same direction, and the two lower parallel chains also run in the same direction. Among them, the upper parallel chain of the first drive chain 13 and the lower parallel chain of the second drive chain 18 are driven in opposite directions. When the two door leaves are fixed to the two drive chains, the first door leaf 7 is fixedly connected to the lower drive chain of the first drive chain 13 through the first chain connecting plate 14; the second door leaf 9 is fixedly connected to the upper drive chain of the second drive chain 18 through the second chain connecting plate 20.

[0054] In this exemplary embodiment, when the output shaft 15 rotates, it can drive the two drive chains on the output shaft 15 to rotate in the same direction. When one of the two door leaves is fixed to the lower parallel chain of the first drive chain 13 and the other door leaf is fixed to the upper parallel chain of the second drive chain 18, the two door leaves can be driven in opposite directions simultaneously.

[0055] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the support guide rail 11 further includes a driven sprocket assembly 12;

[0056] The output shaft 15 and the driven sprocket assembly 12 jointly carry the at least two drive chains.

[0057] In the present exemplary embodiment, there is one output shaft 15 and two driven sprocket assemblies 12. The two driven sprocket assemblies 12 are respectively located at both ends of the support guide rail 11. The output shaft 15 and one driven sprocket assembly 12 jointly support the first drive chain 13, and at the same time, the output shaft 15 and the other driven sprocket assembly 12 jointly support the second drive chain 18.

[0058] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the edges of the two door leaves have a guide and limit bearing assembly 19; the guide and limit bearing assembly 19 is adjacent to the support guide rail 11; the guide and limit bearing assembly 19 is used to limit the movement of the two door leaves in the direction perpendicular to the drive direction of the drive chain.

[0059] In the present exemplary embodiment, in order to prevent the two door leaves from being misaligned perpendicular to the moving direction when moving along the support guide rail 11, a guide and limit bearing assembly 19 can be provided at the edge position where the two door leaves are in contact with the support guide rail 11. The guide and limit bearing assembly 19 prevents the two door leaves from being misaligned perpendicular to the moving direction when moving along the support guide rail 11.

[0060] In some embodiments, the two door leaves have rollers 8 at the positions where they contact the support guide rail 11.

[0061] In the present exemplary embodiment, the two door leaves have rollers 8 at the positions where they contact the support guide rail 11. The use of the rollers 8 can improve the flexibility of the two door leaves when moving on the support guide rail 11.

[0062] In some embodiments, there are tread plates on the outer sides of the two door leaves on the support guide rail;

[0063] There is a gap between the tread plate and the support guide rail; the two door leaves can move into the gap between the tread plate and the support guide rail when moving.

[0064] In the present exemplary embodiment, tread plates can be provided on both sides of the switch station opening and closing door 10. There is a gap between the tread plate and the support guide rail 11. The two door leaves can move into the gap between the tread plate and the support guide rail 11 when moving. In this way, it is convenient to open and close the switch station opening and closing door 10, and at the same time, it plays a role in protecting the switch station opening and closing door 10.

[0065] In some embodiments, there is a double-row sprocket 17 on the output shaft 15; the at least two drive chains are engaged on the double-row sprocket 17; when the output shaft 15 rotates, the at least two drive chains are driven to rotate in the same direction through the double-row sprocket 17.

[0066] In this exemplary embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, a double-row sprocket 17 is provided on the output shaft 15, such that the first drive chain 13 and the second drive chain 18 can be simultaneously engaged with the double-row sprocket 17. When the output shaft 15 rotates, the two drive chains are driven to transmit in the same direction through the double-row sprocket 17, so that the two door leaves can move in opposite directions simultaneously.

[0067] In this application, the opening and closing door of the battery swapping station can bear the rolling of the vehicle, thereby protecting the battery swapping equipment and increasing the service life of the equipment; at the same time, the single-motor + double-chain drive scheme realizes the opening and closing functions of the opening and closing door of the battery swapping station, and is also beneficial to cost reduction.
