[0077] The battery swap room 12 comprises a battery swap passage 11 for battery swap of electric vehicle. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The battery swap passage 11 is used for parking electric vehicle to wait for battery swap.

[0078] The charging room 21 is used for storing battery pack and can charge the battery pack to fully charge the battery pack taken from the electric vehicle. Figures 1-3 Figure 2 In the embodiment, the charging room 21 is arranged on one side of the battery swap room 12 in the X direction along the width direction of the battery swap passage 11.

[0079] ​​The battery swap station in the embodiment is a container type battery swap station, which comprises a battery swap box body 1 and a charging box body 2. The battery swap box body 1 encloses a battery swap room 12, and the battery swap room 12 is formed with a battery swap channel 11. The charging box body 2 encloses a charging room 21. The container type battery swap station can be transported after being assembled, and can be suitable for various use environments.

[0080] As shown in Figures 1-3 , the charging box body 2 comprises a support beam 22 at the bottom thereof, which extends in the horizontal direction. The equipment such as the charging rack in the charging room 21 is arranged above the upper end surface of the support beam 22. Specifically, the charging box body 2 in the embodiment comprises the support beam 22 extending in the width direction of the battery swap channel 11 and the support beam 22 extending in the length direction (Y direction in the Figure 2 embodiment) of the battery swap channel 11. Among them, the support beam 22 extending in the length direction of the battery swap channel 11 and located at one end of the charging box body 2 in the width direction of the battery swap channel 11 is defined as a side beam 221.

[0081] As shown in Figures 2-5 , the battery swap station further comprises an electric vehicle position adjusting device 3. The electric vehicle position adjusting device 3 is used to control the front wheels or rear wheels of the electric vehicle to move in the width direction of the battery swap channel 11, so that the length direction of the electric vehicle is parallel to the length direction of the battery swap channel 11, and the battery swap port of the electric vehicle corresponds to the battery swap equipment, thereby improving the success rate and efficiency of battery swap.

[0082] The electric vehicle position adjusting device 3 in the embodiment acts on the front wheels of the electric vehicle, that is, the electric vehicle position adjusting device 3 controls the front wheels of the electric vehicle to move in the width direction of the battery swap channel 11, and the rear wheels of the electric vehicle do not move in the width direction of the battery swap channel 11. In other alternative embodiments, the electric vehicle position adjusting device 3 can also be designed to act on the rear wheels of the electric vehicle, that is, the electric vehicle position adjusting device 3 controls the rear wheels of the electric vehicle to move in the width direction of the battery swap channel 11, and the front wheels of the electric vehicle do not move in the width direction of the battery swap channel 11.

[0083] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the electric vehicle position adjusting device 3 comprises a driving mechanism 4 and a transmission mechanism 5. The driving mechanism 4 is arranged in the charging room 21, part of the transmission mechanism 5 is arranged in the charging room 21 and connected with the driving mechanism 4, and part of the transmission mechanism 5 is arranged in the battery swap channel 11 and acts on the front wheels of the electric vehicle. The driving mechanism 4 is used to control the transmission mechanism 5 to drive the front wheels of the electric vehicle to move in the width direction of the battery swap channel 11, so that the electric vehicle rotates on the horizontal plane, thereby making the length direction of the electric vehicle parallel to the length direction of the battery swap channel 11.

[0084] The driving mechanism 4 and part of the transmission mechanism 5 of the electric vehicle position adjusting device 3 are built in the charging room 21, which increases the moving space of the single-side transmission mechanism 5 in the width direction of the battery swap channel 11, i.e. increases the distance that the single-side transmission mechanism 5 can drive the front wheels or rear wheels of the electric vehicle to move in the width direction of the battery swap channel 11, so that the driving mechanism 4 can be arranged only on one side of the battery swap channel 11, reducing the cost. Moreover, the driving mechanism 4 is not arranged in the battery swap channel 11, so that the electric vehicle does not need to avoid the driving mechanism 4, preventing the chassis of the electric vehicle from interfering with the driving mechanism 4, and making the battery swap station adapt to more vehicle models.

[0085] Further, for the existing charging box 2 in the form of a container, generally only the space above the support beam 22 is used to place equipment, and the height space of the support beam 22 itself is not effectively utilized. Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the electric vehicle position adjusting device 3 is located between the upper end surface and the lower end surface of the support beam 22 in the height direction of the battery swap channel 11. The present embodiment fully utilizes the space in the height of the support beam 22, which on the one hand does not interfere with other equipment in the charging room 21, and on the other hand does not additionally occupy the space below the charging box 2, without the need to raise the foundation to raise the charging box 2, improving the station construction efficiency and reducing the station construction cost.

[0086] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 Figure 6 , the electric vehicle position adjusting device 3 further comprises a bottom plate 6 and a baffle 9. The driving mechanism 4 and the transmission mechanism 5 are both fixed on the bottom plate 6 and connected with the charging box 2 through the bottom plate 6. The baffle 9 is arranged above the driving mechanism 4 and the transmission mechanism 5, which is used to shield the driving mechanism 4 and the transmission mechanism 5 from interfering with other equipment in the charging room 21.

[0087] As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the driving mechanism 4 comprises a rotary motor 41, a lead screw 42 and a moving seat 43. The rotary motor 41 is fixed on the bottom plate 6, the lead screw 42 extends in the width direction of the battery swap channel 11, one end of the lead screw 42 is connected with the power output end of the rotary motor 41, the other end of the lead screw 42 is fixed on the bottom plate 6 through a fixed seat 45, and the lead screw 42 is rotationally connected with the fixed seat 45. The moving seat 43 is threadedly connected with the lead screw 42, and when the rotary motor 41 controls the lead screw 42 to rotate around its own axis, the moving seat 43 can move in the width direction of the battery swap channel 11 under the action of the thread cooperation. The moving seat 43 is connected with the transmission mechanism 5 to drive the transmission mechanism 5 to move in the width direction of the battery swap channel 11.

[0088] In the embodiment, the screw rod driving mode has high control precision, and the position adjustment precision of the electric vehicle is improved. In other alternative embodiments, the driving mechanism 4 can also adopt other driving structures capable of moving the transmission mechanism 5 along the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11, such as a hydraulic cylinder.

[0089] Further, as shown in Figures 6-9 the transmission mechanism 5 includes a movable plate 51, one end of the movable plate 51 is connected with the driving mechanism 4, and the other end of the movable plate 51 extends into the battery replacement channel 11 through the side beam 221 and is used to carry the front wheels of the electric vehicle. Specifically, the driving mechanism 4 further includes a moving plate 44, and the moving seat 43 is fixed on the moving plate 44. The moving plate 44 can move along the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11 together with the moving seat 43. One end of the movable plate 51 located in the charging room 21 is connected with the moving plate 44, and the front wheels of the electric vehicle are placed on the upper surface of the movable plate 51 located in the battery replacement channel 11. When the moving plate 44 moves along the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11 together with the moving seat 43, the movable plate 51 connected with the moving plate 44 can also drive the front wheels of the electric vehicle placed thereon to move along the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11 synchronously. Since the rear wheels of the electric vehicle do not move along the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11, the electric vehicle can rotate on the horizontal plane until the length direction of the electric vehicle is parallel to the length direction of the battery replacement channel 11.

[0090] Further, as shown in Figures 6-9 the transmission mechanism 5 further includes a base plate 52, the base plate 52 is arranged directly below the movable plate 51, and the base plate 52 is connected with the moving plate 44 and can move along the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11 together with the moving plate 44. The base plate 52 is used to lift the movable plate 51, so as to form a height difference between the movable plate 51 and the ground of the battery replacement channel 11 around the movable plate 51, thereby reducing the friction force formed between the wheels of the electric vehicle and other ground of the battery replacement channel 11 when the wheels move along the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11, and improving the smoothness of the wheel movement.

[0091] Further, as shown in Figures 6-9 the transmission mechanism 5 includes a guide assembly including a slider 53 and a slide rail 54 matched with each other. The slider 53 is connected with the driving mechanism 4, and the movable plate 51 is connected with the slider 53. The slide rail 54 is arranged above the slider 53 and is connected with the charging box 2, and the slide rail 54 extends along the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11. The guide assembly is used to guide the moving direction of the movable plate 51, prevent the movable plate 51 from deviating in position when moving, and improve the position adjustment reliability and precision of the electric vehicle. The slide rail 54 is arranged above the slider 53, so that the movable plate 51 connected with the slider 53 can be supported by the bottom structure of the battery replacement station, thereby more stably carrying the electric vehicle.

[0092] Specifically, as shown inFigure 6 And Figure 7 As shown in

[0093] Further, as shown in Figure 6 And Figure 7 The lower end of the fixed bracket 7 is recessed upward to form a receiving groove 71, and at least part of the slide rail 54 is arranged in the receiving groove 71. The receiving groove 71 of the fixed bracket 7 can reduce the space occupied by the slide rail 54 in the height direction of the support beam 22, so that the structure of the electric vehicle position adjusting device 3 is more compact.

[0094] As shown in Figures 6-9 The guide assembly further includes a support seat 55 extending in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11, the support seat 55 is fixed on the moving plate 44, the support seat 55 is connected with the movable plate 51 through the moving plate 44, and the support seat 55 can move along with the moving plate 44 in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11. The sliding block 53 is fixed on the upper end face of the support seat 55 and is located at the end of the support seat 55 away from the battery replacement channel 11 in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11, and the sliding block 53 can move along with the support seat 55 in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11.

[0095] In this embodiment, the support seat 55 is used to lift the sliding block 53 to facilitate the sliding connection of the sliding block 53 with the slide rail 54 located above it. The sliding block 53 is located at the end of the support seat 55 away from the battery replacement channel 11 in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11, so as to increase the sliding range of the sliding block 53 in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11 and increase the moving range of the front wheel or the rear wheel of the electric vehicle in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11.

[0096] Further, as shown in Figure 7 、 Figure 8 And Figure 10As shown, the support beams 22 in the embodiment are all hollow structures, and the hollow beams have low weight, thereby reducing the overall weight of the charging box 2. The side beams 221 are provided with avoiding holes, including first avoiding holes 231 and second avoiding holes 232. The first avoiding holes 231 pass through both ends of the side beams 221 in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11, and are used to accommodate the movable plates 51, so that the movable plates 51 can extend into the battery replacement channel 11. The second avoiding holes 232 pass through one end of the side beams 221 in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11 away from the battery replacement room 12, and are used to accommodate the support seats 55. The support seats 55 can partially move into the side beams 221 through the second avoiding holes 232, thereby increasing the moving range of the support seats 55 in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11, i.e., increasing the moving range of the movable plates 51 in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11, and further increasing the moving range of the front wheels or rear wheels of the electric vehicle in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11.

[0097] In other alternative embodiments, the second avoiding holes 232 can also be designed to pass through both ends of the side beams 221 in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11. In the embodiment, the second avoiding holes 232 are designed to pass through only one end of the side beams 221 in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11 away from the battery replacement room 12, so that the other end of the side beams 221 in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11 close to the battery replacement room 12 can limit the excessive movement of the support seats 55 towards the battery replacement room 12.

[0098] As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 10 , the electric vehicle position adjusting device 3 further includes a reinforcing plate 8 arranged in the side beams 221 and connected with both ends of the side beams 221 in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11. The reinforcing plate 8 has a shape corresponding to the shape of the avoiding holes, and is arranged at the outer edges of the avoiding holes. The reinforcing plate 8 is used to enhance the strength of the side beams 221 around the avoiding holes, and ensure the structural stability of the charging box 2.

[0099] In other alternative embodiments, in addition to the side beams 221 being hollow structures, the remaining support beams 22 can also adopt solid structures.

[0100] As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the number of guide assemblies in the embodiment is two, so as to improve the stability of transmission. The two guide assemblies are arranged on both sides of the moving seat 43 in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11, and the moving seat 43 and the support seats 55 of the two guide assemblies are connected through the moving plate 44.

[0101] Further, the electric vehicle position adjusting device 3 further comprises a limiting mechanism (not shown in the figure), which is used to limit the movement of the moving seat 43 in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11. The limiting mechanism is used to limit the excessive movement of the moving seat 43 in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11, thereby improving the reliability of the electric vehicle position adjusting device 3 and the safety of the battery replacement.

[0102] The limiting mechanism can be an electrical element such as a reach sensor for sensing the movement position of the moving seat 43, or a mechanical mechanism such as a stop block for limiting the movement of the moving seat 43 in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11. The stop block can be fixed on the fixed support 7, and when the moving seat 43 moves to the limit position in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11, the moving seat 43 abuts against the stop block, so that the moving seat 43 cannot move further.

[0103] Further, the electric vehicle position adjusting device 3 further comprises a position detection mechanism (not shown in the figure), which comprises a vision sensor and a control unit. The quick replacement support of the electric vehicle is provided with a detection point, and the position detection mechanism obtains the preset value of the movement of the front wheel of the electric vehicle in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11 by detecting the distance between the vision sensor and the detection point in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11; the control unit is used to feed back the preset value to the driving mechanism 4 until the length direction of the electric vehicle is parallel to the length direction of the battery replacement channel 11.

[0104] The position detection mechanism is used to measure the distance that the front wheel or the rear wheel of the electric vehicle needs to move in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11, and feed back the measured distance to the driving mechanism 4, so as to control the movement of the front wheel or the rear wheel of the electric vehicle in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11 by the driving mechanism 4, thereby improving the adjustment accuracy.

[0105] Specifically, in this embodiment, before the position adjustment of the electric vehicle, the position detection mechanism is used to preset the distance that the front wheel of the electric vehicle needs to move in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11, and the control unit feeds back the preset distance value to the driving mechanism 4, and the driving mechanism 4 drives the front wheel of the electric vehicle to move in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11 by the preset distance.

[0106] After the initial adjustment of the driving mechanism 4 is completed, the position detection mechanism detects the distance between the vision sensor and the detection point in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11 again, so as to determine whether the front wheel of the electric vehicle has moved to the position. If it has, the position adjustment of the electric vehicle is ended. If it has not, the distance that the front wheel of the electric vehicle needs to move is fed back to the driving mechanism 4 again, and then the secondary position adjustment is performed.

[0107] In other alternative embodiments, the position detecting mechanism can also detect the position of the front wheels of the electric vehicle in the width direction of the battery replacement channel 11 at all times, and continuously feed the distance value of the front wheels of the electric vehicle that need to be moved to the driving mechanism 4 until the length direction of the electric vehicle is parallel to the length direction of the battery replacement channel 11.

[0108] In other alternative embodiments, the electric vehicle position adjusting device 3 in the present embodiment is also applicable to a frame type battery replacement station.
