[0024] In this embodiment, the marine battery swap battery box as an important part of the ship power drive system, its design needs to consider many factors to ensure safe and efficient operation. Currently, the bottom of the marine battery box is usually connected with the electrical connector on the ship by lifting equipment. However, due to the ship on the water surface, affected by wind and waves, water flow and other natural factors, the hull will inevitably sway. This sway will cause the docking process to be unstable when the lifting assembly connects the marine battery box with the electrical connector, increasing the difficulty and risk of docking. Especially during the docking process, if the position or angle of the battery box and the electrical connector is slightly deviated, it is easy to cause damage to the electrical connector on the ship, not only affecting the normal operation of the ship, but also increasing the maintenance cost and time. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a marine battery swap battery box.

[0025] As shown in Figure 1 The marine battery swap battery box can include a box assembly 01 and a battery assembly 02.

[0026] The box assembly 01 can include a side plate 11, a top plate 12, and a bottom plate 13. The bottom plate 13 can be detachably connected with the bottom of the side plate 11. The top plate 12 can be movably connected with the top of the side plate 11. The side plate 11, the top plate 12, and the bottom plate 13 can form a containing chamber.

[0027] The battery assembly 02 can include a plurality of battery units 21, a plurality of base units 22, a wire part 23, and a connection box 24. The base unit 22 can be arranged in the containing chamber, and the base unit 22 can be detachably connected with the bottom plate 13. One base unit 22 can be detachably connected with one battery unit 21, and one base unit 22 can be electrically connected with one battery unit 21. The plurality of battery units 21 can be arranged at intervals. One end of the wire part 23 can be electrically connected with the base unit 22, and the other end can be electrically connected with the connection box 24. The connection box 24 can be detachably connected with the side plate 11, and the connection box 24 can be provided with a plug electrode. The plug electrode can extend horizontally away from the containing chamber. This not only prevents water, but also waits for the marine battery swap battery box to be stable on the ship before connecting with the electrical connector on the ship, which can effectively avoid the instability of the hull sway or the lifting assembly connecting the marine battery swap battery box with the electrical connector, thereby avoiding damage to the electrical connector on the ship.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 2As shown, the box assembly 01 can further include a partition plate 14. The partition plate 14 can be detachably connected with the side plate 11.

The partition plate 14 can be arranged in the area between adjacent battery units 21, and each battery unit 21 can be separated in an independent chamber. In this way, when one of the battery units 21 in the accommodation chamber catches fire or leaks electricity, since each battery unit 21 is separated in an independent chamber, other battery units 21 can be isolated from damage, and greater safety hazards can be avoided.

[0029] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 The box assembly 01 can further include a driver and a plurality of top plates 12. The plurality of top plates 12 correspond one-to-one to a plurality of independent chambers. The driver can drive the top plates 12 to be in an open state or a closed state.

The lifting equipment can move the marine battery replacement battery box to the ship for battery replacement through the lifting lug unit 15, thereby reducing the cost of battery replacement of the marine battery replacement battery box without the need to additionally increase equipment.

[0032] In the embodiment, the box assembly 01 can further include a detector and a fire extinguisher. The detector can be detachably connected with the side plate 11. The fire extinguisher can be detachably connected with the side plate 11. The detector can be detachably connected with the fire extinguisher, and the detector can be electrically connected with the fire extinguisher. When the detector detects that the battery unit 21 is on fire, the fire extinguisher can be automatically started to extinguish the battery unit 21, so as to prevent the battery unit 21 from exploding, and further improve the safety of the marine battery swap box.

[0033] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , the box assembly 01 can further include a ventilation unit 17.
