This system plays a crucial role in the operation and energy replenishment of electric vehicles.

[0003] However, in the current technology, when using large tractor vehicles, the tractor unit is connected to the trailer, which puts a heavy burden on it. Furthermore, due to the numerous mechanical structures distributed in the tractor unit, the space for the battery system is limited, thus restricting the storage of electricity. As a result, the range of pure electric tractor units cannot meet the needs of long-distance use, and they cannot quickly replenish large amounts of energy through refueling like traditional fuel vehicles, leading to inconvenience during transportation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A high-voltage electrical system for charging and swapping pure electric vehicles includes a first battery pack and a second battery pack in the electrical system.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the low-voltage input port and output port of the battery box of the second battery pack are connected to the low-voltage input and output connectors of the second main control box through wires, and the control interface of the second main control box is connected to the second junction box through wires.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the positive and negative terminals of the battery box in the second battery pack are connected to the positive and negative interfaces of the second junction box respectively via wires.

[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model.

[0017] Example

[0018] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution: a high-voltage electrical system for charging and swapping pure electric vehicles, including a first battery pack 1 and a second battery pack 6 in the electrical system. The first battery pack 1 includes four battery boxes, and the battery boxes are connected to a first main control box 2 through wires. The positive and negative terminals of the battery boxes are connected to a first junction box 3 through wires. The positive and negative circuits of the first junction box 3 are connected to a five-in-one controller 4 through wires. The first junction box 3 and the first main control box 2 are both connected to a first water-cooling unit 5.

[0019] The second battery pack 6 includes four battery boxes, and the second battery pack 6 is connected to the second main control box 7 and the second junction box 8 via wires. The second junction box 8 is connected to the water-cooled high-voltage distribution box 9, and the water-cooled high-voltage distribution box 9 is connected to two second water-cooled units 10 via wires.

[0020] By installing battery systems on both the tractor and the trailer, and leveraging the space advantage of the trailer to accommodate more battery boxes, the two battery systems can store more electricity, thereby increasing the tractor's range and towing capacity. During operation (since the trailer is detachable and can be replaced when loading and unloading cargo), the trailer's battery system is used first for propulsion, prioritizing the power supply to the tractor. When the trailer's battery level falls below a set value, a switch in the cab allows for a one-button switch to use the tractor's battery system for propulsion (the trailer needs to retain some power to ensure power supply to other equipment and prevent equipment in the trailer from running out of power). Furthermore, the two battery systems will not be connected to the vehicle's drive system simultaneously; only one system can power the drive structure at a time during vehicle operation.

[0021] In this embodiment, all electrical components are controlled by a conventional controller.

[0022] For an example, please refer to... Figure 1The low-voltage output and input terminals of the battery box in the first battery pack 1 are connected to the first main control box 2. The control interface of the first main control box 2 is connected to the interface of the first junction box 3. The vehicle low-voltage interface of the first main control box 2 is connected to the first water-cooled unit 5. The positive and negative terminals of the battery box of the first battery pack 1 are connected to the positive and negative interfaces of the first junction box 3 respectively through wires. The positive terminal of the first junction box 3 is connected to the five-in-one controller 4 through a relay and then through the main circuit positive terminal. The negative terminal is connected to the interface of the five-in-one controller 4 through a Hall current sensor and a relay and then through the main circuit negative terminal. The positive and negative interfaces of the first junction box 3 are both connected to the water-cooled high-voltage interface of the first water-cooled unit 5. The vehicle low-voltage interface of the first main control box 2 is connected to the interface of the first water-cooled unit 5. The water-cooled low-voltage interface is connected. The low-voltage input and output ports of the battery box of the second battery pack 6 are connected to the low-voltage input and output connectors of the second main control box 7 through wires. The control interface of the second main control box 7 is connected to the second junction box 8 through wires. The vehicle low-voltage interface of the second main control box 7 is connected to the water-cooled low-voltage ports of the two second water-cooled units 10. The positive and negative terminals of the battery box in the second battery pack 6 are connected to the positive and negative interfaces of the second junction box 8 through wires respectively. The positive and negative interfaces of the first junction box 3 are connected to the positive and negative interfaces of the second junction box 8 through wire extensions. The water-cooled high-voltage interfaces of the second junction box 8 are all connected to the water-cooled high-voltage distribution box 9, and after passing through the water-cooled high-voltage distribution box 9, they are connected to the high-voltage interfaces of the two second water-cooled units 10.

[0023] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When in use, after connecting the tractor unit to the trailer, the battery systems in both the tractor unit and the trailer are connected to the control system in the cab of the tractor unit via wires. During transportation, the battery system of the trailer is first connected to the vehicle's high-voltage controller to supply power to the rear motor drive and enable the vehicle to run. When the trailer's battery level is lower than the set value, the connection between the battery system in the tractor unit and the vehicle's high-voltage controller is switched via the control switch in the cab, and the motor is driven through the battery system in the tractor unit.

[0024] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
