Figure 3 and Figure 4 It is a structural diagram of the charging cabinet and the fire extinguishing agent storage box 53 of this embodiment. Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the internal structure of the charging cabinet of this embodiment.

[0058] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the charging module in this embodiment includes a charging part 1, an energy storage part 2 and an electrical connection part 3, and the energy storage part 2 supplies power to the charging part 1 through the electrical connection part 3.

[0059] Further reference Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, the charging part 1 includes a plurality of charging units 11. The charging unit 11 includes a battery compartment 111 and a charging plug 112. The battery compartment 111 in this embodiment is used to accommodate the battery of the electric bicycle, which can be a shared electric motorcycle. The operation and maintenance personnel can remove multiple batteries in a low-power state located at the same parking spot from the electric bicycle, and then place them one by one in the battery compartment 111. And the charging plug 112 is electrically connected to the battery to charge the battery of the electric bicycle. At the same time, the battery in a fully charged state in the charging part 1 can also be taken out of the battery compartment 111 and installed on the electric bicycle, thereby completing the battery replacement operation.

[0060] Optionally, the charging unit 11 in this embodiment may include a plurality of battery compartments 111 and a plurality of charging plugs 112 corresponding to the plurality of battery compartments 111. Figure 5 As shown, each charging unit 11 in the figure includes two horizontally arranged battery compartments 111 , and each battery compartment 111 is provided with a charging plug 112 .

[0061] Further reference Figure 2As shown, the energy storage part 2 includes an energy storage unit 21 and a charging plug 22 electrically connected to the energy storage unit 21. The charging plug 22 is used to replenish electric energy for the energy storage unit 21 when the energy storage unit 21 is in a power-deficient state. The energy storage unit 21 can be configured to have a higher rated capacity. For example, each charging unit 11 is configured to have a 30kWh power battery so that the charging module can have a longer working time. At the same time, the charging plug 22 can be configured to have a higher voltage and current level to increase the charging efficiency of the energy storage part 2. For example, a 10A three-pin plug connected to a household three-hole socket, a DC fast charging plug or a slow charging plug connected to an electric vehicle charging pile.

[0062] In summary, the charging module of this embodiment uses the electrical connection part 3 to electrically connect the charging part 1 and the energy storage part 2. The energy storage part 2 can power multiple charging units 11, so that the battery compartment 111 can be used with the charging plug 112 to charge multiple batteries. Therefore, the independently arranged charging part 1 and energy storage part 2 can meet the modular design requirements of the charging module, so that the charging part 1 can be independently configured according to the size of the layout space, reducing the manufacturing cost of the charging module. At the same time, it is convenient to use the transport vehicle 6 for transportation. In addition, the power supply plug 22 provided in the energy storage part 2 can replenish electrical energy for the energy storage unit 21.

[0063] Optionally, the charging unit 1 may be further provided with a discharge unit, which can be used to discharge the batteries in the battery compartment 111 to improve the balance of the batteries.

[0064] In some embodiments, as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, multiple charging units 11 are assembled to form a charging cabinet. For example, the height of the charging cabinet can be increased by stacking them. Horizontally, multiple charging units 11 are placed side by side to increase the length or width of the charging cabinet. The electrical connection portion 3 includes multiple power supply harnesses corresponding to the multiple charging units 11. Each charging unit 11 is electrically connected to the energy storage portion 2 via the corresponding power supply harness.

[0065] The charging cabinet in this embodiment is assembled from multiple charging units 11, which can reduce the manufacturing cost of the charging unit 1. Operations and maintenance personnel can adjust the assembly method of the charging units 11 based on the size of the layout space and the number of electric bicycles in the area. This facilitates the adjustment of the charging module size to meet the modular design requirements of the charging unit 1.

[0066] Specifically, the electrical connection unit 3 also includes a main wiring harness, which can be made of a 70kW single-core copper cable. The power supply harness includes a first end and a second end. The first ends of the power supply harnesses are connected to the charging plugs 112 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the second ends are connected to the energy storage unit 2 through the main wiring harness.

[0067] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the electrical connection part 3 also includes multiple communication harnesses. The charging module also includes a central control unit 4, which is arranged in the energy storage part 2 or the charging part 1 and is connected to the charging part 1 and the energy storage part 2 through a communication harness.

[0068] The central control unit 4 in this embodiment is used to control the power transmission between the charging unit 1 and the energy storage unit 2. The communication wiring harness is configured to be wired according to the CAN bus protocol, thereby improving the reliability of signal transmission between the charging unit 1, the energy storage unit 2 and the central control unit 4.

[0069] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the charging module also includes a fire protection unit 5, which includes multiple sensors 51. The multiple sensors 51 are respectively disposed in the multiple battery compartments 111 and / or the multiple energy storage units 21. The sensors 51 include at least one of an optical sensor 51, an oxygen concentration sensor 51, a temperature sensor 51, or a smoke sensor 51, and the multiple sensors 51 are electrically connected to the central control unit 4.

[0070] The central control unit 4 in this embodiment detects whether the energy storage unit 21 and the battery have abnormal conditions such as overheating, burning or smoking through the sensor 51 set in the battery compartment 111 and the energy storage unit 21, thereby realizing real-time detection of the charging part 1 and the energy storage part 2 and improving the safety of the charging module.

[0071] Optionally, the charging module further includes an alarm unit, which can alert people around the charging module through sound signals and light signals to promptly cut off the power supply and stay away from the charging module.

[0072] In some embodiments, as Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, the fire fighting unit 5 further includes a pump body 52, a fire extinguishing agent storage tank 53 and a pipeline 54. The pipeline 54 is connected to the fire extinguishing agent storage tank 53, a plurality of battery compartments 111 and the energy storage unit 21 through the pump body 52.

[0073] Specifically, if Figure 4 As shown, a fire extinguishing agent storage tank 53 is located at the top of the charging cabinet and is filled with fire extinguishing agent. This fire extinguishing agent includes, but is not limited to, fluoroprotein foam or phosphate. Placing the fire extinguishing agent storage tank 53 at a higher position helps the pump 52 to inject the fire extinguishing agent from the fire extinguishing agent storage tank 53 into the battery compartment 111 or energy storage unit 21 in the event of a fire, thereby preventing the fire from occurring.

[0074] Optionally, the pump body 52 can be arranged outside the charging cabinet or inside the battery compartment 111 to make the appearance of the charging cabinet more beautiful.

[0075] Furthermore, the central control unit 4 includes a communication module. The central control unit 4 is arranged in the charging cabinet and communicates with the server through the communication module.

[0076] In this embodiment, the central control unit 4 is installed in the charging cabinet and is configured to communicate with the pump body 52. ​​This facilitates modular design of the charging unit 1. For example, maintenance personnel can configure the central control unit 4 based on the number of charging units 11 and the type and number of sensors 51. This allows the central control unit 4 to upload signals collected by the sensors 51 to the server or download control instructions from the server. The central control unit 4 can also control the pump body 52 to inject fire extinguishing agent into the corresponding battery compartment 111 or energy storage unit 21 when the sensor 51 detects a fire.

[0077] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the energy storage unit 2 also includes a battery management system 23. Multiple energy storage units 21 are assembled into an energy storage cabinet, and the battery management system 23 is located within the cabinet. The cabinet is adjacent to the charging cabinet and is electrically connected to the cabinet via a power supply harness. The battery management system 23 is electrically connected to the central control unit 4 via a communication harness.

[0078] The battery management system 23 in this embodiment is used to control the energy storage unit 21 to supply power to the charging part 1, estimate the power of the battery and the energy storage unit 21, and protect the battery from overcurrent, overcharge or overdischarge.

[0079] Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the structure of the mobile charging device of this embodiment.

[0080] In an optional implementation, if Figure 6 As shown, the charging module in the above embodiment can be applied to a mobile charging device, which also includes a transport vehicle 6. The charging module is disposed in a receiving space 61 of the transport vehicle 6. The transport vehicle 6 includes, but is not limited to, a tricycle or a truck. For example, the bucket of a tricycle forms the receiving space 61. For example, the cargo box of a truck forms the receiving space 61.

[0081] Further reference Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the charging module includes an electrical connection portion 3, a charging unit 1, and an energy storage unit 2. The charging unit 1 includes multiple charging units 11, each of which includes a battery compartment 111 and a charging plug 112. The energy storage unit 2 supplies power to the charging units 11 via the electrical connection portion 3 and includes an energy storage unit 21 and a charging plug 22 electrically connected to the energy storage unit 21.

[0082] In summary, the mobile charging device of this embodiment utilizes the electrical connector 3 of the charging module to electrically connect the charging unit 1 and the energy storage unit 2. The energy storage unit 2 can power multiple charging units 11, allowing the battery compartment 111 to charge multiple batteries in conjunction with the charging plug 112. Thus, on the one hand, the independently configured charging unit 1 and energy storage unit 2 meet the modular design requirements of the charging module, allowing the charging module to be configured according to the size of the storage space 61, reducing the manufacturing cost of the charging module and facilitating its installation on the transport vehicle 6. Furthermore, the charging plug 22 provided in the energy storage unit 2 can also replenish the energy storage unit 21. This allows the transport vehicle 6 to move the charging module to the energy replenishment device for recharging. Furthermore, the mobile charging device can optimize battery charging methods, allowing operators to promptly replace batteries in electric bicycles that are low on power. Furthermore, batteries no longer need to be transported back to a fixed charging cabinet for charging, improving the efficiency of battery rotation. Furthermore, the transport vehicle 6 can also quickly transport charging modules to different areas of a city, facilitating the timely adjustment of the distribution of charging modules within the city.

[0083] In some embodiments, as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the electrical connection portion 3 includes multiple power supply harnesses. Multiple charging units 11 are assembled to form a charging cabinet. There are multiple energy storage units 21, and multiple energy storage units 21 are assembled to form an energy storage cabinet. The energy storage cabinet and the charging cabinet are arranged adjacent to each other and are electrically connected via the power supply harness.

[0084] In this embodiment, multiple charging units 11 and multiple energy storage units 21 are assembled into a charging cabinet and an energy storage cabinet, which are secured using bolts or welding. This allows operators to adjust the length, height, and width of the charging cabinet and energy storage cabinet based on the size of the cargo box or truck bed, allowing the charging module to better adapt to different trucks 6.

[0085] Figure 7 Schematic diagram of the circuit of the mobile charging device of this embodiment.

[0086] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 As shown, the transport vehicle 6 further includes a drive motor 62 . The energy storage unit 2 further includes a battery management system 23 , through which the energy storage unit 2 supplies power to the drive motor 62 and the charging unit 11 .

[0087] The transport vehicle 6 in this embodiment is driven by a drive motor 62. For this purpose, the energy storage unit 21 is configured to be able to simultaneously power the charging unit 11 and the drive motor 62, so that the transport vehicle 6 does not need to be equipped with a separate power battery, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the transport vehicle 6.

[0088] Furthermore, the charging plug 22 includes at least one plug compatible with the charging pile plug. Thus, the mobile charging device can move the charging module to the parking position of the nearest charging pile for rapid charging, thereby improving the efficiency of the mobile charging device.

[0089] Specifically, the number of charging plugs 22 can be multiple and of different types to accommodate different types of electric vehicle charging piles. For example, an AC charging plug (7-pin plug) and a DC charging plug (9-pin plug) that meet the GB / T 20234 standard can be used to meet the interface format of charging piles of different models.

[0090] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
