The two second opening structures are close to the first opening structure; the opening side walls of the two second opening structures are communicated with the opening side wall of the first opening structure; according to the battery compartment structure provided by the utility model, the opening is formed in the side surface, so that the battery compartment structure can adapt to fixing modes of different types of batteries, such as grooves, hooks and the like on the side surfaces of the batteries, and the application range of the battery compartment is widened; a driving device does not need to be arranged in the battery bin, the battery can be dragged out of the battery bin only by enabling the gripper of the battery replacement cabinet to penetrate through the opening in the side face of the battery bin to be buckled into the groove in the side face of the battery or other fixing structures in the battery replacement process, and therefore the battery replacement efficiency is improved.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric vehicle battery swapping, in particular to a battery compartment with an opening on the side. Background Art

[0002] The battery compartment is located at the bottom of the electric vehicle and is used to carry and protect the battery. During battery swapping, the battery enters and exits from the front, rear or bottom of the battery compartment, and a transfer trolley or other device is responsible for grasping the battery and sending it to the battery swapping cabinet. Since the battery compartment is always fixed to the vehicle bottom, a battery driving device is required inside the battery compartment to move a part of the battery out of the battery compartment for the transfer trolley or other device to grasp.

[0003] In order to facilitate the entry and exit of the battery, there are also some improvement schemes in the prior art. For example, the Chinese patent document with the application number 201010166057.0 discloses a battery compartment structure with an opening on the side. This structure is provided with an opening on the side of the battery compartment, so that the battery can enter and exit from the side, thus eliminating the need to set a driving device inside the battery compartment. However, this scheme is only applicable to the case where the hook passes through the battery compartment to hook the battery and cannot adapt to other types of battery fixing methods. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a battery compartment with an opening on the side to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following scheme:

[0006] A battery compartment with an opening on the side, wherein a first opening structure for the battery to enter and exit is provided on any side wall of the battery compartment;

[0007] Second opening structures are provided on two side walls of the battery compartment adjacent to the first opening structure;

[0008] Both of the two second opening structures are close to the first opening structure;

[0009] The opening side walls of the two second opening structures are in communication with the opening side wall of the first opening structure.

[0010] Further, battery fixing structures are provided on two side walls of the battery compartment adjacent to the first opening structure.

[0011] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0012] The battery compartment structure provided by the utility model can adapt to different types of battery fixing methods, such as grooves and hooks on the side of the battery, by providing an opening on the side, thus broadening the application range of the battery compartment.

[0013] The utility model does not need to set a driving device inside the battery compartment. When replacing the battery, only need to pass the gripper of the battery replacement cabinet through the opening on the side of the battery compartment and buckle it into the groove or other fixing structures on the side of the battery, then the battery can be pulled out from the battery compartment, thus improving the battery replacement efficiency.

[0019] The following will further describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present utility model, but are not used to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0020] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and 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 thus should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0021] The terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the present application, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more.

[0022] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "coupled" 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 a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0023] In order to better understand the purpose, structure, and function of the present utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Embodiment

[0024] Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2 As shown, a battery compartment with an opening on the side provided in this embodiment, a first opening structure 2 for the battery to enter and exit is provided on any side wall of the battery compartment 1; second opening structures 3 are provided on two side walls of the battery compartment 1 adjacent to the first opening structure 2; both of the two second opening structures 3 are adjacent to the first opening structure 2; the opening side walls of the two second opening structures 3 are in communication with the opening side wall of the first opening structure 2.

[0025] Specifically, by providing an opening on the side, there is no need to provide a driving device inside the battery compartment 1. During battery replacement, only the gripper of the battery replacement cabinet needs to pass through the opening on the side of the battery compartment 1 and buckle into the groove or other fixing structure on the side of the battery, and then the battery can be pulled out of the battery compartment 1, thereby improving the battery replacement efficiency.

[0026] A further optimized solution is: Refer to Figure 1 , battery fixing structures 4 are provided on two side walls of the battery compartment 1 adjacent to the first opening structure 2. Specifically, the battery fixing structure 4 can be a guiding strip or other structures that can guide the movement of the battery and fix the battery. Furthermore, when the battery extends into or out of the battery compartment 1, the smooth movement of the battery can be ensured and the deviation can be prevented.
