[0004] The present application provides a battery swapping system, and the technical solution provided by the present application can effectively improve the battery swapping efficiency of vehicles.

[0005] Some embodiments of the present application provide a battery swapping system, which includes a parking passage and a guiding mechanism. The parking passage has a battery replacement area. The guiding mechanism is arranged in the parking passage and is located on the side or top surface of the parking passage. The guiding mechanism includes a guiding member and an adjusting member, and the adjusting member is connected to the guiding member. The adjusting member is used to adjust the position of the guiding member relative to the battery replacement area according to the information of the vehicle, so that the guiding member can guide the vehicle to move to the battery mounting position of the vehicle in the battery replacement area.

[0006] In the above solution, according to the information of the vehicle, by adjusting the position of the guiding member relative to the battery replacement area through the adjusting member, different types of vehicles can be effectively guided to quickly park in the correct position, so that the battery mounting position of the vehicle is quickly in the battery replacement area, thereby improving the battery swapping efficiency of the battery swapping system.

[0007] According to some embodiments of the present application, the guiding member is a non-contact guiding member.

[0008] In the above solution, the non-contact guiding member can perform non-contact guiding, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the battery swapping system or the vehicle caused by the impact during the contact between the vehicle and the battery swapping system.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present application, the parking passage has a vehicle entrance and a vehicle exit opposite to each other in the first direction. The guiding member includes a light emitter for emitting light in the second direction, and the first direction, the second direction and the gravity direction are perpendicular to each other in pairs. A positioning area is provided on the vehicle. When the light emitted by the light emitter is projected on the positioning area, the battery mounting position is in the battery replacement area.

[0010] In the above solution, the light emitter vehicle emits light towards the side of the vehicle, and can determine the relative position between the battery mounting position of the current vehicle and the battery replacement area based on the relative relationship between the position where the light is projected onto the vehicle and the position where the positioning area is located, thereby guiding the driver to drive the vehicle to the correct position, and further improving the battery swapping efficiency.

[0012] In the above solution, by arranging the positioning area on the window, it is convenient for the driver to observe, and it is beneficial for the driver to judge the relative position between the battery mounting position of the current vehicle and the battery replacement area based on the relative position relationship between the positioning area and the projection pattern of the light, thereby efficiently guiding the driver to drive the vehicle to the correct position, and further improving the battery swapping efficiency.

[0013] According to some embodiments of the present application, the projection pattern of the light emitted by the light emitter on the plane perpendicular to the second direction is a linear pattern.

[0014] In the above solution, the projection pattern of the light emitted by the light emitter is linear, which is beneficial for the driver to judge the position relationship between the current vehicle and the battery replacement area through the regular projection pattern, thereby quickly adjusting the position of the vehicle, and further improving the battery swapping efficiency.

[0015] According to some embodiments of the present application, the light emitter is a laser emitter.

[0016] In the above solution, by setting the light emitter as a laser emitter, obvious image information can be provided to the driver, which is beneficial for the driver to judge the position relationship between the current vehicle and the battery replacement area, quickly adjust the position of the vehicle, and further improve the battery swapping efficiency.

[0017] According to some embodiments of the present application, the guiding member includes a sensor, and a positioning portion is arranged on the vehicle. When the sensor senses the positioning portion, the battery mounting position is in the battery replacement area.

[0018] In the above solution, by setting the guiding member as a sensor and arranging a positioning portion on the vehicle that matches the guiding member, when the vehicle is parked in place, the sensor can sense the positioning portion and thus perform corresponding operations to convey the information that the vehicle is parked in place to the driver, so as to reduce the time for the driver to adjust the position of the vehicle, and further improve the battery swapping efficiency.

[0019] According to some embodiments of the present application, a sensor is arranged on the vehicle. When the sensor senses the guiding member, the battery mounting position is in the battery replacement area.

[0020] In the above scheme, by setting a sensor on the vehicle and setting the guide to match the sensor, when the vehicle is parked in place, the guide can be sensed by the sensor and perform corresponding operations to convey the parking information to the driver, thereby reducing the driver's time to adjust the vehicle position and improving the battery replacement efficiency.

[0021] According to some embodiments of the present application, along a first direction, the parking passage has a vehicle entrance and a vehicle exit opposite to each other along the first direction, and the adjusting member is used to adjust a position of the guiding member along the first direction.

[0022] In the above scheme, the adjustment part can adjust the position of the guide part in the first direction according to the information of the vehicle, so that the guide part can guide different types of vehicles, so that different types of vehicles can be parked in the correct position smoothly and efficiently according to the guidance of the guide part, thereby improving the battery exchange efficiency of the battery exchange system.

[0024] In the above solution, the guide rail can guide the drive motor to move stably along the first direction, thereby driving the guide member to move stably along the first direction, so that the guide member can effectively guide the vehicle, thereby improving the battery replacement efficiency.

[0025] According to some embodiments of the present application, the battery exchange system further includes a guide structure, at least part of which is located on the side of the vehicle entrance of the parking passage away from the vehicle exit, for guiding the vehicle into the parking passage.

[0026] In the above scheme, by setting up a guide structure, the vehicle can be guided to enter the parking lane at the correct angle, reducing the risk of misalignment between the battery mounting position and the battery replacement area, which is conducive to improving the battery replacement efficiency.

[0027] According to some embodiments of the present application, the guide structure includes two guide rods spaced apart along a second direction, a guide section is formed at the end of the guide rod facing away from the vehicle exit, and the distance between the guide sections of the two guide rods gradually decreases along the direction from the vehicle entrance to the vehicle exit, and the second direction is perpendicular to the direction from the vehicle entrance to the vehicle exit.

[0028] In the above scheme, under the guidance of the two guide sections, the vehicle can smoothly enter the guide channel, so that it can enter the parking channel at the correct angle, thereby reducing the risk of misalignment between the battery mounting position and the battery replacement area, which is conducive to improving the battery replacement efficiency.

[0052] With the development of new energy technologies, the number of devices using batteries has increased. When the electrical energy of an electrical device runs out, the electrical energy is often replenished by connecting a charging device. For example, an electric vehicle can be connected to a charging pile for charging. Compared with the method of replenishing electrical energy by connecting a charging device such as a charging pile, replacing the battery can replenish the electrical energy faster. Currently, there is also a battery swapping system dedicated to replacing batteries, and the battery swapping system has a parking lane. The parking lane is used for parking vehicles and performing battery swapping. The parking lane has a battery replacement area. When battery swapping is required, the vehicle needs to be parked in the parking lane, and the battery mounting position of the vehicle needs to be in the battery replacement area so that the battery swapping mechanism can perform battery swapping on the vehicle. Currently, the battery swapping system is often provided with a guiding member, and the driver adjusts the position of the vehicle according to the guiding information of the guiding member to park the vehicle in the correct position so that the battery mounting position of the vehicle is in the battery replacement area. However, because the guiding member is fixedly arranged in the parking lane and the position relative to the battery replacement area is fixed, and the relative positions of the cockpits of different types of vehicles and the battery mounting positions are different, there is a situation where the driver cannot effectively receive the guiding information, resulting in the vehicle not being able to be parked in the correct position and affecting the battery swapping efficiency.

[0053] In view of this, to improve the problem that due to different vehicle types, the driver cannot be effectively guided, resulting in low battery swapping efficiency, some embodiments of the present application provide a battery swapping system, which includes a parking lane and a guiding mechanism. The parking lane has a battery replacement area. The guiding mechanism is arranged in the parking lane and is located on the side or top surface of the parking lane. The guiding mechanism includes a guiding member and an adjusting member, and the adjusting member is connected to the guiding member. The adjusting member is used to adjust the position of the guiding member relative to the battery replacement area according to the information of the vehicle so that the guiding member can guide the vehicle to move to a position where the battery mounting position of the vehicle is in the battery replacement area.

[0054] In the above solution, the adjusting member adjusts the position of the guiding member relative to the battery replacement area according to the information of the vehicle, so that different types of vehicles can be effectively guided to park in the correct position, so that the battery mounting position of the vehicle is in the battery replacement area, thereby improving the battery swapping efficiency of the battery swapping system.

[0055] The battery swapping system disclosed in the embodiments of the present application can perform battery swapping on vehicles. The vehicles include, but are not limited to, passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, etc. Exemplarily, the types of vehicles can include sedans, urban SUVs, SUVs, light trucks, heavy trucks, tractors, etc.

[0056] Some embodiments of the present application provide a battery swapping system, please refer to Figures 1-5 , Figure 1 which is a schematic diagram of the battery swapping system in some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 which is a schematic diagram of the battery swapping channel and the vehicle in some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 which is a top view of the battery swapping channel in some embodiments of the present application, Figure 4 isFigure 3 An enlarged view of area A Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of a vehicle in some embodiments of the present application.

[0057] The battery swapping system 100 includes a parking passage 10 and a guiding mechanism 20. The parking passage 10 has a battery swapping area 11. The guiding mechanism 20 is disposed in the parking passage 10 and is located on the side or top surface of the parking passage 10. The guiding mechanism 20 includes a guiding member 21 and an adjusting member 22, and the adjusting member 22 is connected to the guiding member 21. The adjusting member 22 is configured to adjust the position of the guiding member 21 relative to the battery swapping area 11 according to the information of the vehicle 200, so that the guiding member 21 can guide the vehicle 200 to move to a position where the battery mounting position of the vehicle 200 is in the battery swapping area 11.

[0058] In some embodiments, the battery swapping system 100 may include a battery swapping station for implementing battery swapping of the vehicle 200. Exemplarily, the battery swapping station may include a body, a battery storage device, a battery charging device, a turnover device, and a battery swapping device. The body can be assembled and transformed from a container, and the body can form a parking passage 10 for the vehicle 200 to enter and exit, and the vehicle 200 performs battery swapping in the parking passage 10. The battery storage device and the battery charging device are disposed in the body. The battery storage device is used to store fully charged batteries and discharged batteries. The battery charging device can charge the batteries stored in the battery storage device. The turnover device can be used to turnover the batteries between the battery storage device and the battery swapping device, and the battery swapping device is used to remove the battery on the vehicle 200 and install the battery on the vehicle 200. For example, when the vehicle 200 drives into the parking passage 10 and is in the correct position, the battery swapping device walks to the lower part of the battery mounting position of the vehicle 200 and removes the discharged battery of the vehicle 200; the discharged battery can be stored in the battery storage device through the turnover device, the turnover device takes out a fully charged battery from the battery storage device and transports it to the battery swapping device; the battery swapping device mounts the fully charged battery on the battery mounting position of the vehicle 200, the vehicle 200 realizes battery swapping and drives out of the parking passage 10, and the vehicle 200 completes battery swapping; in the battery swapping system 100, the power supply device charges the discharged battery that has been replaced.

[0059] The parking passage 10 can be a part of the battery swapping system 100 for providing a site for the parking and battery swapping of the vehicle 200. In some embodiments, the parking passage 10 can be surrounded by a plurality of wall portions. For example, the parking passage 10 can include two side walls opposite to each other and a top wall disposed at the top ends of the two side walls.

[0060] The "battery mounting position of the vehicle 200" can be understood as the part of the vehicle 200 where the battery is mounted. Please refer to Figure 5 which shows the battery mounting position of the vehicle 200 in the form of a dotted line with the label "204".

[0061] "The parking lane 10 has a battery replacement area 11" can be understood as the area of the parking lane 10 that is used to cooperate with the vehicle 200 to enable the replacement of the battery of the vehicle 200. In Figure 4 , the position where the battery replacement area 11 is located is shown by a dashed line. Exemplarily, when the vehicle 200 is traveling in the parking lane 10 and the battery mounting position of the vehicle 200 is in the battery replacement area 11, the battery swapping device can remove the depleted battery from the battery mounting position of the vehicle 200 and mount the fully charged battery on the battery mounting position of the vehicle 200. In some embodiments, the size of the battery replacement area 11 can be larger than the size of the battery mounting position. Please refer to Figure 5 , in the length direction of the vehicle 200, the size of the battery replacement position is larger than the size of the battery mounting position, which can reduce the precision requirement for the parking of the vehicle 200. In some embodiments, in the width direction of the vehicle 200, the size of the battery replacement position can be larger than the size of the battery mounting position, which can reduce the precision requirement for the parking of the vehicle 200.

[0062] The guiding mechanism 20 is a mechanism for guiding the vehicle 200 to travel. "The guiding mechanism 20 is disposed in the parking lane 10 and is located on the side or top surface of the parking lane 10" can be immediately understood as that the guiding mechanism 20 may not be disposed on the ground. Exemplarily, the guiding mechanism 20 can guide the vehicle 200 from the side or above the vehicle 200.

[0063] The guiding mechanism 20 includes a guiding member 21 and an adjusting member 22. Exemplarily, the guiding member 21 can provide visual, auditory or tactile information to the driver in the vehicle 200 to guide the driver to control operations such as the vehicle 200 moving forward, the forward distance, moving backward, and the backward distance. Exemplarily, the guiding member 21 can include a blocking member. When the vehicle 200 needs to swap the battery, the blocking member extends and is located in the parking lane 10. When the vehicle 200 travels into the parking lane 10 and contacts the blocking member, the driver can feel it, thereby determining that the current vehicle 200 is in the correct position and the battery mounting position of the vehicle 200 is in the battery replacement area 11. Alternatively, the guiding member 21 can include a display screen capable of displaying information. The driver manipulates the vehicle 200 by understanding the information on the display screen and finally parks the vehicle 200 in the correct position. Alternatively, the guiding member 21 can include a light emitter. The driver controls the vehicle 200 through the image projected by the light emitter into the cockpit to park the vehicle 200 in the correct position. Alternatively, the guiding member 21 includes a horn that broadcasts voice. The driver controls the vehicle 200 according to the broadcast voice to park the vehicle 200 in the correct position.

[0064] The adjusting member 22 is a mechanism capable of adjusting the position of the guiding member 21 relative to the battery replacement area 11. Exemplarily, the adjusting member 22 can adjust the position of the guiding member 21 relative to the battery replacement area 11 along the length direction of the vehicle 200, or the adjusting member 22 can adjust the position of the guiding member 21 relative to the battery replacement area 11 along the height direction of the vehicle 200, or the adjusting member 22 can adjust the position of the guiding member 21 relative to the battery replacement area 11 along the width direction of the vehicle 200.

[0065] "The adjusting member 22 is used to adjust the position of the guiding member 21 relative to the battery replacement area 11 according to the information of the vehicle 200, so that the guiding member 21 can guide the vehicle 200 to move to the battery mounting position of the vehicle 200 in the battery replacement area 11" can be understood as that the guiding member 21 has different guiding positions (the guiding position refers to the position where the guiding member can effectively provide guiding information to the vehicle) for different types of vehicles 200, and the relative positions of different guiding positions and the battery replacement area 11 are different. When different types of vehicles 200 enter the battery swapping system 100 for battery swapping, the adjusting member 22 can adjust the guiding member 21 to the corresponding guiding position according to the information of the vehicle 200, so that the driver can effectively receive the guiding information, so that the driver can park the vehicle 200 at the correct position, so that the battery mounting position is in the battery replacement area 11. Exemplarily, taking different types of vehicles 200 including the first type of vehicle 200 and the second type of vehicle 200 as an example, when the battery swapping system 100 recognizes the first type of vehicle 200, the adjusting member 22 adjusts the guiding member 21 to the first position, and the guiding member 21 guides the vehicle 200 at the first position; when the battery swapping system 100 recognizes the second type of vehicle 200, the adjusting member 22 adjusts the guiding member 21 to the second position, and the guiding member 21 guides the vehicle 200 at the second position. Exemplarily, the guiding member 21 includes a blocking member, the battery swapping objects include the first vehicle 200 and the second vehicle 200, and the wheelbase of the second vehicle 200 is greater than that of the first vehicle 200. After the first vehicle 200 completes battery swapping, the battery swapping system 100 can recognize the vehicle 200 information of the second vehicle 200, and thus control the adjusting member 22 to move the blocking member in the direction of the exit, so that when the second vehicle 200 contacts the blocking member, the battery mounting position of the second vehicle 200 is in the battery replacement area 11.

[0066] In some embodiments, a camera or a video camera may be provided at the entrance of the parking passage 10. The camera or the video camera can acquire the license plate information of the vehicle 200, so that the battery swapping system 100 can obtain the information of the vehicle 200, and thus the adjusting member 22 can adjust the position of the guiding member 21 according to this information. For example, a camera provided on the side of the entrance of the parking passage 10 takes a picture of the vehicle 200 about to drive into the parking passage 10 to acquire the license plate information of the vehicle 200. The control device of the battery swapping system 100 obtains the information of the vehicle 200 corresponding to the license plate information through a cloud server or the data pre-stored in itself, so that the adjusting member 22 can adjust the position of the guiding member 21 according to this information.

[0067] In the above solution, according to the information of the vehicle 200, the position of the guiding member 21 relative to the battery replacement area 11 is adjusted by the adjusting member 22, so that different types of vehicles 200 can be effectively guided to park in the correct position, the battery mounting position of the vehicle 200 is in the battery replacement area 11, and thus the battery swapping efficiency of the battery swapping system 100 is improved.

[0068] According to some embodiments of the present application, the guiding member 21 is a non-contact guiding member 21.

[0069] In some embodiments, the "non-contact guiding member 21" may immediately mean that the guiding member 21 does not contact the vehicle 200 and guides the vehicle 200 while maintaining a certain distance from the vehicle 200. For example, the guiding member 21 provides image information to the driver to guide the driving of the vehicle 200.

[0070] In the above solution, the non-contact guiding member 21 can perform non-contact guiding, thereby reducing the risk that the vehicle 200 collides with the battery swapping system 100 during contact, resulting in damage to the battery swapping system 100 or the vehicle 200.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the parking passage 10 has a vehicle entrance 12 and a vehicle exit 13 opposite to each other along the first direction x. The guiding member 21 includes a light emitter for emitting light along the second direction y. The first direction x, the second direction y, and the gravity direction z are perpendicular to each other in pairs. A positioning area 202 is provided on the vehicle 200. When the light emitted by the light emitter is projected onto the positioning area 202, the battery mounting position is in the battery replacement area 11.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The light emitted by the guiding member 21 is marked with the label "B".

[0073] In some embodiments, the first direction x may be parallel to the length direction of the vehicle 200, and the second direction y may be parallel to the width direction of the vehicle 200. The vehicle 200 may enter the parking lane 10 from the vehicle entrance 12 along the first direction x and exit the parking lane 10 from the vehicle exit 13.

[0074] The positioning area 202 is a calibrated area on the vehicle 200. In some embodiments, along the length direction of the vehicle 200, the distances between the positioning areas 202 of different types of vehicles 200 and the battery mounting positions of the vehicle 200 are the same. After the adjusting member 22 adjusts the position of the guiding member 21 in place according to the information of the current vehicle 200, when the light emitted by the guiding member 21 is projected onto the positioning area 202, it indicates that the battery mounting position is in the battery replacement area 11.

[0075] "The guiding member 21 includes a light emitter for emitting light along the second direction y" can be understood as that the guiding member 21 can be a light emitter, and the light emitter can emit light along the second direction y. In some embodiments, the light is emitted from the side of the vehicle 200 towards the vehicle 200, and the driver can directly observe the light. For example, when the driver observes that the light is projected onto the positioning area 202 with the regulation of the vehicle 200, it indicates that the vehicle has parked in place and the battery mounting position is in the battery replacement area 11. In some other embodiments, the light is emitted from the side of the vehicle 200 towards the vehicle 200. When the light is projected onto the positioning area 202 as the vehicle 200 moves, corresponding operations are triggered, such as the power exchange system 100 making a voice announcement or flashing a light, etc., to inform the driver that the vehicle has parked in place and the battery mounting position is in the battery replacement area 11. In these embodiments, the positioning area 202 may be provided with a photoelectric receiving sensor, and the photoelectric receiving sensor sends a corresponding signal to the control device in the power exchange system 100 to implement operations such as voice announcement or flashing a light to prompt the driver that the vehicle has parked in place. In these embodiments, the positioning area 202 may be provided with a reflection unit. When the light is projected onto the positioning area 202, the reflection unit can reflect the light. A photoelectric receiving sensor is provided in the power exchange system 100. After the photoelectric receiving sensor receives the reflected light, it sends a corresponding signal to the control device in the power exchange system 100 to implement operations such as voice announcement or flashing a light to prompt the driver that the vehicle has parked in place.

[0076] Exemplarily, the colors of light that the light emitter can emit include, but are not limited to, red, blue, green, etc. In some embodiments, the light emitter can be a laser emitter, and the light emitted by the laser emitter can be projected onto the window 201 of the cockpit. The driver can adjust the position of the vehicle 200 according to the light pattern on the window 201. Exemplarily, the positioning area 202 includes a marking pattern (such as a square pattern, a circular pattern, or a pattern formed by multiple line segments) provided on the window 201. When the laser emitted by the laser emitter is projected onto the window 201, the driver drives the vehicle 200 so that the pattern projected onto the window 201 can be located in the area where the marking pattern is located (for example, the pattern projected onto the window 201 is within the square pattern, within the circular pattern, or between multiple line segments). In this state, the battery mounting position is in the battery replacement area 11.

[0077] In the above solution, the light emitter emits light towards the vehicle 200 from the side of the vehicle 200. It is possible to determine the relative position between the battery mounting position of the current vehicle 200 and the battery replacement area 11 based on the relative relationship between the position where the light is projected onto the vehicle 200 and the position where the positioning area 202 is located, thereby guiding the driver to drive the vehicle 200 to the correct position and further improving the battery swapping efficiency.

[0078] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 5 , the positioning area 202 is provided on the window 201 of the cockpit of the vehicle 200.

[0079] In some embodiments, "the positioning area 202 is provided on the window 201 of the cockpit of the vehicle 200" can be understood as that the light emitted by the light emitter can be projected onto the window 201 of the cockpit of the vehicle 200 and can cooperate with the positioning area 202 located on the window 201 to guide the vehicle 200 to the correct position. Exemplarily, the light emitted by the light emitter is used to provide image information to the driver to guide the driver to control the driving of the vehicle 200. The positioning area 202 can be a marking pattern (such as a square pattern, a circular pattern, or a pattern formed by multiple line segments) provided on the window 201. By comparing the projection pattern of the light with the marking pattern on the window 201, the driver can control the driving of the vehicle 200 and finally park the vehicle 200 in the correct position.

[0080] Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 5, in some embodiments, the positioning area 202 may include three marking lines 2020. The three marking lines 2020 may be arranged at intervals along the first direction x. The middle line is the reference line (the distance between the reference line of different types of vehicles 200 and the battery mounting position of the vehicle 200 is the same), and the two marking lines 2020 on both sides are the critical lines. The light emitter emits light in the second direction y. As the vehicle 200 travels into the parking lane 10, the light can be projected onto the window 201 of the cockpit of the vehicle 200. When the driver observes that the projection pattern of the light falls on the two critical lines, it is realized that the battery mounting position is in the battery replacement area 11 and within the range where the power exchange system 100 can perform power exchange, and the vehicle can stop for power exchange; when the driver observes that the projection pattern of the light falls on the reference line, it indicates that the vehicle 200 is in a better position, realizes that the coincidence degree between the battery mounting position and the battery replacement area 11 is better, and the vehicle 200 is accurately within the range where the power exchange system 100 can perform power exchange, and the vehicle can stop for power exchange.

[0081] In the above solution, by arranging the positioning area 202 on the window 201, it is convenient for the driver to observe, and it is beneficial for the driver to judge the relative position between the battery mounting position of the current vehicle 200 and the battery replacement area 11 based on the relative position relationship between the positioning area 202 and the projection pattern of the light, so as to efficiently guide the driver to drive the vehicle 200 to the correct position, thereby improving the power exchange efficiency.

[0082] In some other embodiments, the positioning part 203 may be arranged at other parts of the vehicle 200. Exemplarily, the positioning area 202 may include a photoelectric receiving sensor arranged on the body of the vehicle 200. When the light emitted by the light emitter is received by the photoelectric receiving sensor, the photoelectric receiving sensor sends a corresponding signal to the control device in the power exchange system 100, so as to perform operations such as voice broadcast or flashing lights to prompt the driver to stop in place.

[0083] According to some embodiments of the present application, the projection pattern of the light emitted by the light emitter on a plane perpendicular to the second direction y is a linear pattern.

[0084] In some embodiments, the light emitted by the light emitter is a linear light, so that the projection pattern seen by the driver is a linear pattern. In some embodiments, the light emitter can emit linear light through a slit light source, a beam shaper, physical occlusion, a laser, etc.

[0085] Exemplarily, the pattern of the light emitted by the light emitter projected onto the window 201 is a linear pattern perpendicular to the length direction of the vehicle 200. Please refer to Figure 5, there are three marking lines 2020 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the vehicle 200 on the vehicle window 201. The length direction of each marking line 2020 is perpendicular to the length direction of the vehicle 200. The linear pattern formed by the light emitted by the light emitter projected onto the vehicle window 201 can be parallel to the marking line 2020. By comparing the positional relationship between the linear pattern and the marking line 2020, the driver can control the vehicle 200 to move forward or backward, so as to quickly park in the correct position and realize battery swapping.

[0086] In the above solution, the projection pattern of the light emitted by the light emitter is linear, which is beneficial for the driver to judge the positional relationship between the current vehicle 200 and the battery replacement area 11 through the regular projection pattern, so as to quickly adjust the position of the vehicle 200, and then improve the battery swapping efficiency.

[0087] According to some embodiments of the present application, the light emitter is a laser emitter.

[0088] In some embodiments, the laser emitter can emit a very narrow linear light. At the same time, the light emitted by the laser emitter has high monochromaticity and directivity, and the width and intensity of the light can be controlled by adjusting the output of the laser emitter.

[0089] In some embodiments, the color of the laser emitted by the laser emitter can be red, blue, green or other colors. Exemplarily, the laser emitter can emit red laser light. The laser emitter can project a red linear pattern on the vehicle window 201, so as to facilitate the driver to adjust the position of the vehicle 200 based on the relative position between the linear pattern and the positioning area 202.

[0090] In the above solution, setting the light emitter as a laser emitter can provide obvious image information to the driver, which is beneficial for the driver to judge the positional relationship between the current vehicle 200 and the battery replacement area 11, quickly adjust the position of the vehicle 200, and then improve the battery swapping efficiency.

[0091] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 which is a schematic diagram of the battery swapping system 100 and the vehicle 200 in some other embodiments of the present application.

[0092] The guiding member 21 includes a sensor, and a positioning portion 203 is provided on the vehicle 200. In some embodiments, along the length direction of the vehicle 200, the distance between the positioning portion 203 of different types of vehicles 200 and the battery mounting position of the vehicle 200 is the same. After the adjusting member 22 adjusts the position of the guiding member 21 in place according to the information of the current vehicle 200, when the sensor senses the positioning portion 203, the battery mounting position is in the battery replacement area 11.

[0093] A sensor is a detection device that can sense certain physical quantities of the external environment or objects (such as temperature, pressure, humidity, light intensity, sound, displacement, etc.), and convert these physical quantities into electrical signals or other forms of signals for output, for subsequent measurement, recording, or control use.

[0094] In some embodiments, the guiding member 21 includes a sensor that can cooperate with the positioning portion 203 on the vehicle 200 to guide the driver to adjust the position of the vehicle 200 so that the battery mounting position is in the battery replacement area 11, thereby realizing battery replacement. Exemplarily, the driver adjusts the position of the vehicle 200 so that the sensor can sense the positioning portion 203 on the vehicle 200, and the sensor can provide a corresponding signal to the control device of the battery replacement system 100. The control device can prompt the driver that the current vehicle 200 is parked in place through a display screen or a voice broadcast unit 50.

[0095] In some embodiments, the guiding member 21 can include a photoelectric sensor, a displacement sensor, etc. Exemplarily, the guiding member 21 can include a proximity switch, and the proximity switch can include a magnetic proximity switch. The positioning portion 203 can be a magnetic object that cooperates with the proximity switch. Or, in some embodiments, the guiding member 21 includes a receiver, and the positioning portion 203 on the vehicle 200 is a transmitter. When the receiver receives the signal emitted by the transmitter, the battery mounting position is in the battery replacement area 11.

[0096] In the above solution, by setting the guiding member 21 as a sensor and setting a positioning portion 203 on the vehicle 200 that matches the guiding member 21, when the vehicle 200 is parked in place, the sensor can sense the positioning portion 203 and thus perform corresponding operations to be able to convey the information of being parked in place to the driver, thereby being able to reduce the time for the driver to debug the position of the vehicle 200, and further being able to improve the battery replacement efficiency.

[0097] According to some embodiments of the present application, a sensor is provided on the vehicle 200. When the sensor senses the guiding member 21, the battery mounting position is in the battery replacement area 11.

[0098] In some embodiments, along the length direction of the vehicle 200, the distances between the sensors of different types of vehicles 200 and the battery mounting positions of the vehicles 200 are the same. After the adjusting member 22 adjusts the position of the guiding member 21 in place according to the information of the current vehicle 200, when the sensor senses the guiding member 21, the battery mounting position is in the battery replacement area 11.

[0099] Exemplarily, the driver adjusts the position of the vehicle 200 so that the sensor can sense the guide member 21 that has been adjusted in place by the adjusting member 22. When the sensor senses the guide member 21, it can provide a corresponding signal to the control device of the battery swapping system 100, and the control device can prompt the driver that the vehicle 200 is parked in place through a display screen or a voice broadcast unit 50; or when the sensor senses the guide member 21, it can provide a corresponding signal to the controller of the vehicle 200, and the controller of the vehicle 200 can prompt the driver that the vehicle 200 has been parked in place through the vehicle head unit.

[0100] In some embodiments, the sensor may include a photoelectric sensor, a displacement sensor, etc. Exemplarily, the sensor may include a proximity switch, and the proximity switch may include a magnetic proximity switch, and the positioning member may be a magnetic object of the proximity switch.

[0101] In the above solution, by setting a sensor on the vehicle 200 and setting the guide member 21 to match the sensor, when the vehicle 200 is parked in place, the guide member 21 can be sensed by the sensor to perform corresponding operations, so as to be able to convey the information that the vehicle is parked in place to the driver, thereby being able to reduce the time for the driver to adjust the position of the vehicle 200, and further being able to improve the battery swapping efficiency.

[0102] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 3 , along the first direction x, the parking lane 10 has a vehicle entrance 12 and a vehicle exit 13 that are opposite to each other along the first direction x, and the adjusting member 22 is used to adjust the position of the guide member 21 along the first direction x.

[0103] In some embodiments, the first direction x may be parallel to the direction from the vehicle entrance 12 to the vehicle exit 13 of the parking lane 10, may also be parallel to the driving direction of the vehicle 200, may also be parallel to the length direction of the vehicle 200, or may also be parallel to the axial direction of the vehicle 200. For example, when the vehicle 200 travels along the first direction x, it can enter the parking lane 10 from the vehicle entrance 12 and can drive out of the parking lane 10 from the vehicle exit 13.

[0104] "The adjusting member 22 is used to adjust the position of the guide member 21 along the first direction x" can be understood as that when dealing with vehicles 200 with different wheelbases, the adjusting member 22 can adjust the position of the guide member 21 relative to the battery replacement area 11 in the axial direction of the vehicle 200.

[0105] Exemplarily, the distances between the cockpits of vehicles 200 with different wheelbases and their battery mounting positions are different. For example, the distance between the cockpit of a vehicle 200 with a larger wheelbase and its battery mounting position is farther. Therefore, when a vehicle 200 with a larger wheelbase needs to swap batteries through the battery swapping system 100, the adjusting member 22 will adjust the position of the guiding member 21, causing the guiding member 21 to move along the first direction x and get closer to the vehicle exit 13, so as to effectively guide the driver in the cockpit.

[0106] In some embodiments, the adjusting member 22 may include a mechanism capable of outputting linear motion along the first direction x. For example, the adjusting member 22 may include a single-axis manipulator, a linear motor, a cylinder, or other mechanical combinations capable of outputting linear motion.

[0107] In the above solution, the adjusting member 22 can adjust the position of the guiding member 21 in the first direction x according to the information of the vehicle 200, so that the guiding member 21 can guide different types of vehicles 200, enabling different types of vehicles 200 to be parked at the correct position smoothly and efficiently according to the guidance of the guiding part, thereby improving the battery swapping efficiency of the battery swapping system 100.

[0108] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to FIGS. 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 which are schematic diagrams of the guiding mechanism 20 and the parking lane 10 in some embodiments of the present application. Figure 8 FIG. is a schematic diagram of the adjusting member 22 and the guiding member 21 in some embodiments of the present application. The adjusting member 22 includes a guide rail 220, a rack 221, and a driving motor 222. The guide rail 220 extends along the first direction x, the rack 221 extends along the first direction x, the guide rail 220 and the rack 221 are arranged side by side along the gravity direction z, the driving motor 222 is slidably connected to the guide rail 220, the output end of the driving motor 222 meshes with the rack 221, and the guiding member 21 is connected to the driving motor 222.

[0109] In some embodiments, the adjusting member 22 may be disposed on the side of the parking passage 10. The adjusting member 22 includes a guide rail 220, a rack 221, and a driving motor 222. The guide rail 220 is connected to the side of the parking passage 10, and the guide rail 220 extends along the first direction x. The connection relationship between the guide rail 220 and the side includes, but is not limited to, bonding, welding, or connection by threaded members. The rack 221 extends along the first direction x, and the rack 221 and the guide rail 220 are arranged side by side in the gravity direction z. The guiding member 21 is disposed on the driving motor 222. The driving motor 222 may be slidably engaged with the guide rail 220. Exemplarily, the housing of the driving motor 222 forms a chute that cooperates with the guide rail 220, and the guide rail 220 is disposed in the chute, and the driving motor 222 can reciprocate along the guide rail 220 in the first direction x. The output end of the driving motor 222 is engaged with the rack 221. Exemplarily, a gear is provided on the output shaft of the driving motor 222, and the gear is engaged with the rack 221. When the battery swapping system 100 recognizes the information of the vehicle 200, the battery swapping system 100 can control the driving motor 222 to rotate forward or backward according to the information of the vehicle 200, so as to drive the guiding member 21 to move in the first direction x.

[0110] In the above solution, through the guiding of the guide rail 2, the driving motor 222 can stably move along the first direction x, drive the guiding member 21 to stably move along the first direction x, so that the guiding member 21 can effectively guide the vehicle 200, thereby improving the battery swapping efficiency.

[0111] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 3 , the battery swapping system 100 further includes a guiding structure 30, at least a part of the guiding structure 30 is located on the side of the vehicle entrance 12 of the parking passage 10 facing away from the vehicle exit 13, and is used to guide the vehicle 200 into the parking passage 10.

[0112] The guiding structure 30 is a structural member for guiding the driving direction of the vehicle 200. For example, the guiding structure 30 includes a guiding rod 31, a guiding groove, etc.

[0113] "At least a part of the guiding structure 30 is located on the side of the vehicle entrance 12 of the parking passage 10 facing away from the vehicle exit 13" can be understood as that the guiding structure 30 is disposed at the vehicle entrance 12 of the parking passage 10, the guiding structure 30 may be partially located inside the parking passage 10 and another part may be located outside the parking passage 10, or the guiding structure 30 may be entirely located outside the parking passage 10.

[0114] In the above solution, by providing the guiding structure 30, the vehicle 200 can be guided to enter the parking passage 10 at the correct angle, reducing the risk of misalignment between the battery mounting position and the battery replacement area 11, which is beneficial to improving the battery swapping efficiency.

[0115] According to some embodiments of the present application, the guide structure 30 includes two guide rods 31 spaced apart along the second direction y, and a guide section 310 is formed at the end of the guide rod 31 facing away from the vehicle exit 13. The distance between the guide sections 310 of the two guide rods 31 gradually decreases along the direction pointing from the vehicle entrance 12 to the vehicle exit 13, and the second direction y is perpendicular to the direction pointing from the vehicle entrance 12 to the vehicle exit 13.

[0116] In some embodiments, guide rods 31 are arranged in pairs. Each pair of guide rods 31 includes two guide rods 31 spaced apart along the second direction y. The two guide rods 31 collectively define a guide channel for vehicle 200 to enter. The centerline of the guide channel can be parallel to, or even collinear with, the centerline of parking lane 10, along the direction from vehicle entrance 12 to vehicle exit 13. The guide rods 31 are configured to contact the wheels of vehicle 200 and limit the tilt angle of vehicle 200, thereby ensuring that the direction of vehicle 200 travels parallel to the direction from vehicle entrance 12 to vehicle exit 13.

[0117] The guide section 310 of the guide rod 31 is in an outwardly expanding shape so that the inlet of the guide channel can be expanded, which is beneficial for the vehicle 200 to enter the guide channel.

[0118] In some embodiments, the guide structure 30 may include two pairs of guide rods 31, wherein one pair of guide rods 31 is arranged on the entrance side of the parking passage 10, for example, part of the guide rods 31 is located inside the parking passage 10 and the other part is located outside the parking passage 10; the other part can be arranged on the exit side of the parking passage 10, for example, part of the guide rods 31 is located inside the parking passage 10 and the other part is located outside the parking passage 10.

[0119] In the above scheme, under the guidance of the two guide sections 310, the vehicle 200 can smoothly enter the guide channel, so that it can enter the parking channel 10 at the correct angle, thereby reducing the risk of misalignment between the battery mounting position and the battery replacement area 11, which is conducive to improving the battery replacement efficiency.

[0120] According to some embodiments of the present application, the battery exchange system 100 also includes a first display screen 41 and a second display screen 42. The first display screen 41 is arranged in the parking passage 10, and the second display screen 42 is arranged outside the parking passage 10 and is located on the side of the vehicle exit 13 of the parking passage 10 away from the vehicle entrance 12.

[0121] The display screen is used to provide visual information to the driver. For example, the display screen is connected to the control device of the battery swap system 100 and can display the current battery swap status, such as "Battery swap in progress" or "Battery swap progress is x%." The display screen can be an LED display screen, an LCD display screen, or other display screens.

[0122] In some embodiments, the battery swap system 100 may include two display screens, including a first display screen 41 and a second display screen 42. The first display screen 41 may be set in the parking passage 10, for example, the first display screen 41 may be set on the side wall of the parking passage 10. The second display screen 42 may be set on the exit side of the parking passage 10. The second display screen 42 can be used to compensate for the driver's field of view. For example, when a vehicle 200 with a larger wheelbase is swapping batteries, the cockpit may already be outside the parking passage 10, and the driver cannot see the first display screen 41. At this time, the second display screen 42 can provide image information to the driver.

[0123] In some embodiments, the second display screen 42 can be mounted on the ground on a side of the vehicle exit 13 of the parking passage 10 that is away from the vehicle entrance 12 by a bracket.

[0124] In the above solution, by setting a first display screen 41 in the parking passage 10 and setting a second display screen 42 on the exit side of the parking passage 10, the driver's field of vision can be supplemented and information can be provided to the driver, thereby facilitating the improvement of battery replacement efficiency.

[0125] According to some embodiments of the present application, the battery exchange system 100 further includes a voice broadcast unit 50 , which is disposed in the parking passage 10 and is used for voice broadcast.

[0126] The voice announcement unit 50 is used to provide voice information to the driver. For example, the voice announcement unit 50 is connected to the control device of the battery swap system 100, and the voice information announced by the voice announcement unit 50 may include the battery swap status, such as "battery swap in progress", "battery swap progress is x%", etc.

[0127] In some embodiments, the voice broadcast unit 50 may include a speaker. In some embodiments, the voice broadcast unit 50 may be disposed on the top surface or side surface of the parking passage 10.

[0128] In the above solution, by setting up a voice broadcast unit 50 in the parking passage 10, information is provided to the driver in the form of voice broadcast, which can make up for the driver's field of vision, thereby facilitating the improvement of battery replacement efficiency.

[0129] Some embodiments of the present application provide a battery replacement system 100, see Figures 1-8The battery swap system 100 includes a parking passage 10 and a guide mechanism 20. The parking passage 10 has a battery swap area 11. Along a first direction x, the parking passage 10 has a vehicle entrance 12 and a vehicle exit 13 opposite to each other, and the battery swap area 11 is located between the vehicle entrance 12 and the vehicle exit 13. At the vehicle entrance 12, a pair of guide rods 31 are provided, part of the guide rods 31 is located inside the parking passage 10, and the other part is located outside the parking passage 10. The guide rods 31 are used to limit the inclination angle of the vehicle 200 entering the parking passage 10, so that the vehicle 200 enters the parking passage 10 along the first direction x. See Figure 2 、 Figure 3 as well as Figure 7 The battery swap system 100 further includes a first display screen 41 and a second display screen 42. The first display screen 41 is disposed within the parking passage 10 and is located on the side of the parking passage 10. For example, the first display screen 41 may be located above the guide member 21. The second display screen 42 is disposed outside the parking passage 10 and is located on the side of the vehicle exit 13 of the parking passage 10 that is away from the vehicle entrance 12.

[0130] The guide mechanism 20 is disposed within the parking aisle 10 and is located on the side of the parking aisle 10. The guide mechanism 20 includes a guide member 21 and an adjustment member 22, which is connected to the guide member 21. The adjustment member 22 is used to adjust the position of the guide member 21 along the first direction x relative to the battery swap area 11 based on information about the vehicle 200, so that the guide member 21 can guide the vehicle 200 to move to the battery swap area 11 where the battery mounting position of the vehicle 200 is located.

[0131] The guide member 21 includes a laser emitter capable of emitting a linear laser along the second direction y. The first direction x, the second direction y, and the direction of gravity z are perpendicular to each other. A positioning area 202 is provided on the window 201 of the cockpit of the vehicle 200. The positioning area 202 includes three marking lines 2020. The three marking lines 2020 can be spaced apart along the first direction x. The center line is the baseline. The distance between the baseline and the battery mounting position of the vehicle 200 is the same for vehicles 200 of different wheelbases. The two marking lines 2020 on either side are critical lines.

[0132] Before vehicle 200 enters parking lane 10, battery swap system 100 obtains information about vehicle 200. Adjustment member 22 adjusts the position of guide member 21 relative to battery swap area 11 along first direction x based on the information about vehicle 200. As vehicle 200 enters parking lane 10, the driver can observe the laser projection pattern on vehicle window 201. When the projection pattern is between two critical lines, it indicates that the battery mounting position of vehicle 200 is in battery swap area 11, and vehicle 200 is in the correct position for battery swapping.

[0133] In the above solution, according to the information of the vehicle 200, by adjusting the guiding member 21 relative to the battery replacement area 11 through the adjusting member 22, different types of vehicles 200 can be effectively guided to park quickly at the correct position, so that the battery mounting position of the vehicle 200 is quickly located in the battery replacement area 11, thereby improving the battery replacement efficiency of the battery replacement system 100.

[0134] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included within the protection scope of the present application.
