Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of power supply technology, and in particular to a power swapping device for equipment and a parking management device. Background Technology

[0002] In the current technology, many devices choose to use battery power, especially outdoor devices. When using battery power, the batteries need to be replaced (i.e., battery swapping) to ensure the device's power supply.

[0003] Currently, the common battery-powered solution for outdoor equipment involves setting up a separate low-voltage box outside the outdoor equipment, with the battery housed inside the box. The box and equipment are connected via cables, and power is supplied to the equipment through the battery within the box. Correspondingly, when swapping batteries, the batteries inside the low-voltage box are replaced.

[0004] When using the battery-powered solution described above, in addition to deploying and installing the equipment itself, a separate low-voltage distribution box is also required, along with connecting cables between the box and the equipment, and cable protection. This installation is complex, costly, and inefficient, occupies a large space, has high requirements for the installation environment, and is aesthetically unappealing. Battery swapping requires opening the low-voltage distribution box to replace the battery and unplugging and replugging the cables on the battery pack. This cumbersome process results in low efficiency and requires routine maintenance of the low-voltage distribution box and cables, leading to high costs for both battery swapping and maintenance.

Detailed Implementation

[0043] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this specification, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this specification will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments involved in the specific implementation are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in the specific implementation without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0044] This specification provides an embodiment of a device battery swapping device that enables the installation and replacement of batteries in a target device.

[0045] The battery swapping device provided in the embodiments of this specification includes one or more sets of battery swapping components. The following describes a single set of battery swapping components:

[0046] Each battery swapping kit includes a battery compartment, battery compartment fasteners, and a battery compartment cover.

[0047] The battery compartment fastener is used to fix the battery compartment to the target device;

[0048] The battery compartment is used to house the battery. The battery compartment has a battery compartment opening and internal electrodes. The battery compartment opening is used for the battery to enter and exit the battery compartment, and the internal electrodes are used to contact the electrodes of the battery.

[0049] The battery compartment cover is used to close the opening of the battery compartment.

[0050] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further illustrates a single battery swapping unit (the drawings are merely illustrative, and the embodiments described in this specification are not limited to those shown in the drawings):

[0051] Battery compartment

[0052] The battery compartment has an internal space and an opening. The internal space is used to accommodate the battery, and the opening allows the battery to be placed into or removed from the internal space. Preferably, the internal space is shaped to fit the battery, so that the portion of the internal space, excluding the opening, can completely enclose the battery. In this case, a drawer-type insertion and removal structure is formed between the battery and the battery compartment, meaning the battery can be inserted into or removed from the internal space of the battery compartment.

[0053] The shape of the battery compartment is not limited. For example, it can be like... Figures 1 to 5 As shown in any one of the options, the battery compartment 1 can be approximately cylindrical. Wherein, Figure 1 and Figure 5 The diagram shows the internal space and opening of battery compartment 1. Battery compartment 1 is a hollow structure with an opening at one end, which can be considered the top, while the hollow portion serves as the internal space. Assuming... Figure 1 and Figure 5 From the top-down view (non-orthographic projection) of battery compartment 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3 The front and rear views of battery compartment 1 (non-orthographic projection) Figure 2 and Figure 3 (The primary viewpoint is not limited.) Figure 4 This is a downward-looking perspective (not an orthographic projection) of battery compartment 1. Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 5 The main focus is on the top structure and internal space of battery compartment 1. Figure 2 The main focus is on showing the side and bottom structures of battery compartment 1. Figure 3 The image mainly shows the side structure and bottom structure of the battery compartment 1 from another direction. Figure 4 The bottom structure of battery compartment 1 is mainly shown.

[0054] A schematic diagram of the orthographic projection of battery compartment 1 is shown below. Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 The front view, rear view, left view, right view, top view, and bottom view of battery compartment 1 are shown respectively.

[0055] Battery

[0056] The battery's shape is not limited. For example, it can be like... Figures 7 to 10 As shown in any of the options, battery 2 can be approximately cylindrical. Assume that... Figure 7 As the main viewing angle (non-orthographic projection) of battery 2, then Figure 8 This is a top-down view (not an orthographic projection) of battery 2. Figure 9 and Figure 10 This is the upward-looking perspective (not orthographic projection) of battery 2. Specifically, if... Figure 7 The upper part serves as the top. Figure 7 and Figure 8The top and side structures of battery 2 are mainly shown. Figure 9 and Figure 10 The bottom and side structures of battery 2 are mainly shown.

[0057] A schematic diagram of the orthographic projection of battery 2 is shown below. Figure 11 As shown, Figure 11 The diagram shows the front view, rear view, left view (the right view is symmetrical to the left view), top view, and bottom view of battery 2. Figure 7 , Figure 8 as well as Figure 11 The numbers “10” and “12” that appear in the text, other than the labels, indicate optional specifications or materials, and are not used to limit the structure of battery 2.

[0058] The aforementioned battery 2 can be a single battery, having electrodes for outputting power. Alternatively, the aforementioned battery 2 can also comprise multiple smaller batteries; that is, the aforementioned battery 2 can also be a battery pack assembled from multiple smaller batteries, with the battery pack as a whole having electrodes for outputting power. The battery 2 itself or its included smaller batteries can be various energy storage devices such as high-capacity lithium batteries or supercapacitors; the embodiments in this specification are not limited to these. The following does not distinguish between a battery and a battery pack, and will consistently use the term "battery."

[0059] Battery compartment 1 is equipped with electrodes, which can be positioned at suitable locations within the battery compartment 1, for example, at... Figures 1 to 5 The position shown in 1.1 of any item (this position is only an example and the actual position is not limited) ensures that after the battery 2 is placed into the internal space of the battery compartment 1 in the predetermined or correct manner, the electrodes of the battery 2 are in contact with the electrodes of the battery compartment 1.

[0060] Specifically, the electrodes of battery compartment 1 may include multiple electrode plates, which can be disposed on the inner wall of the compartment space. The electrode plates can be arranged in a track-like shape; for example, the electrode plates of battery compartment 1 can protrude beyond the inner wall of the compartment space (i.e., protrude into the compartment space), or the electrode plates of battery compartment 1 can be embedded in the inner wall of the compartment space. Thus, the various electrode plates of battery compartment 1 form a track-like arrangement with each other. The track-like electrode of battery compartment 1 can be called an electrode track. The effect of the electrode track of battery compartment 1 is as follows: Figure 5 As shown.

[0061] Similarly, the electrodes of battery 2 may include multiple electrode plates, and the electrodes of battery compartment 1 may be positioned appropriately for battery 2 to ensure that after battery 2 is placed into the compartment space of battery compartment 1 in a predetermined or correct manner, the electrodes of battery 2 are in contact with the electrodes of battery compartment 1. For example, the electrodes of battery 2 are positioned at... Figure 9 or Figure 10The position shown in Figure 2.1 (this position is only an example and the actual position is not limited) is located at the bottom of battery 2. The electrode plates of battery 2 can protrude outward (corresponding to the case where the electrode plates of battery compartment 1 are embedded in the inner wall of the compartment space), or the electrode plates of battery 2 can be recessed inward (corresponding to the case where the electrode plates of battery compartment 1 protrude from the inner wall of the compartment space). Therefore, the electrodes of battery 2 can also form a corresponding track shape, which can also be called electrode tracks. The effect of the electrode tracks of battery 2 can be as follows: Figure 10 As shown. In this way, when battery 2 is placed into the internal space of battery compartment 1 in a predetermined or correct manner, the electrode plates of battery 2 and the electrode plates of battery compartment 1 are interlocked, achieving matching contact between the two, that is, the electrode plates of battery 2 and the electrode track are in matching contact.

[0062] In addition, the electrodes of battery compartment 1 are in contact with or connected to the wiring or circuitry of the target device itself. For example, a portion of the electrodes of battery compartment 1 may be exposed. After battery compartment 1 is fixed inside the target device, the exposed portion of the electrodes of battery compartment 1 is in contact with or connected to the wiring or circuitry of the target device itself. After battery 2 is placed in battery compartment 1, the electrodes of battery compartment 1 are in contact with the electrodes of battery 2 and the wiring or circuitry of the target device itself, so that battery 2 can supply power to the target device.

[0063] Additionally, a first handle 2.2 can be provided on the battery 2. The first handle 2.2 is generally located on the outward-facing end face of the battery 2 (i.e., the end face visible through the battery compartment opening). When the battery 2 is inserted into the battery compartment 1 in a predetermined or correct manner, the battery 2 can be operated through the first handle 2.2. For example, the first handle 2.2 can be grasped through the battery compartment opening, making it easy to insert the battery 2 into the battery compartment 1 and remove it from the battery compartment 1.

[0064] Battery compartment fastener

[0065] The aforementioned target device has an internal space to accommodate a battery compartment. The battery compartment can be secured within this internal space using a battery compartment fastener (the battery compartment does not necessarily need to be completely inserted into the internal space; a portion of the battery compartment may protrude from the target device body or surface). The outline of the battery compartment fastener can match the internal space of the target device. For example, if the internal space of the target device is cylindrical, the battery compartment fastener can be circular, allowing it to be embedded within the internal space. Alternatively, even if the outline of the battery compartment fastener does not need to match the internal space, it can be secured using other methods (such as adhesive bonding or screw fastening).

[0066] The battery compartment mounting hardware can be a plate-like component or other structures. For example, it can be like... Figure 12 or Figure 13As shown, the battery compartment fixing member 3 can be a plate with an opening, that is, the battery compartment fixing member 3 is an annular plate. The battery compartment 1 can be inserted into the opening of the battery compartment fixing member 3, thereby fixing the battery compartment 1 by the battery compartment fixing member 3.

[0067] Assuming Figure 12 As the main viewing angle (non-orthographic projection) of battery 2, then Figure 13 This is the rear view (non-orthographic projection) of the battery compartment mounting bracket 3. Specifically, Figure 12 The main image shows the structure of one side (which can be considered the front) of the battery compartment fixing component 3. Figure 13 This mainly shows the structure of the other side (which can be the back) of the battery compartment fixture 3.

[0068] A schematic diagram of the orthographic projection of the battery compartment fixing component 3 is shown below. Figure 14 As shown, Figure 14 The front view, rear view, right view (the left view is symmetrical to the right view), top view, and bottom view of the battery compartment fastener 3 are shown respectively.

[0069] Figure 13 and Figure 14 The number "8" appearing in the text, except for the number, indicates optional specifications or materials, and is not used to limit the structure of the battery compartment fastener 3.

[0070] When the internal space of the target device housing the battery compartment 1 is cylindrical, the battery compartment fixing member 3 can be embedded into the internal space of the target device. The battery compartment fixing member 3 is perpendicular to the axis of the cylindrical internal space of the target device, and the side of the battery compartment fixing member 3 contacts the inner wall of the cylindrical internal space of the target device. Alternatively, a portion of the internal space of the target device is cylindrical, and the battery compartment fixing member 3 is embedded into this cylindrical portion. The battery compartment fixing member 3 is perpendicular to the axis of this cylindrical portion, and the side of the battery compartment fixing member 3 contacts the inner wall of this cylindrical portion.

[0071] Additionally, the target device has an opening through which the battery compartment 1 enters and exits the internal space of the target device. A limiting member 4 can be provided at the opening to prevent the battery compartment 1 from fully entering the internal space of the target device. The limiting member 4 can be a plate with an opening, i.e., an annular plate arranged around the inner wall of the opening, with the shape or size of the opening allowing the main body of the battery compartment 1 to pass through. The limiting member 4 can be integral with the target device body, or it can be connected and fixed to the target device body by a suitable method (e.g., adhesive bonding).

[0072] For example Figures 1 to 5As shown in any one of the embodiments, the main body of the battery compartment 1 is cylindrical, and the top of the battery compartment 1 or the periphery of the battery compartment opening may have a protrusion, the width of which can be set as needed. When the battery compartment 1 needs to be placed into the internal space of the target device, the bottom end and the main body of the battery compartment 1 can pass through the opening of the limiting member 4 to enter the internal space of the target device, while the protrusion of the battery compartment 1 cannot pass through the opening of the limiting member 4, so that the limiting member 4 plays a limiting role in the battery compartment 1.

[0073] Specifically, the battery compartment fixing member 3 and the limiting member 4 can have the same shape, both being plate-shaped. The battery compartment fixing member 3 is located inside the target device, and the limiting member 4 is located at the device opening of the target device. The battery compartment fixing member 3 and the limiting member 4 are parallel, and they can be attached to each other or spaced a certain distance apart.

[0074] Several threaded holes can be provided around the protrusion of the battery compartment 1, and the same number of holes can be provided around the annular limiting member 4. The same number of threaded holes can also be provided around the annular battery compartment fixing member 3. When the battery compartment 1 needs to be placed inside the target device, the bottom and main body of the battery compartment 1 can pass through the opening of the limiting member 4 into the target device's interior space. The protrusion of the battery compartment 1 is in contact with the outward-facing surface of the limiting member 4, and the inward-facing surface of the limiting member 4 is in contact with the battery compartment fixing member 3, or the limiting member 4 and the battery compartment fixing member 3 are spaced a certain distance apart. In other words, from the outside of the target device to the inside space, the sequence is: protrusion of the battery compartment 1, limiting member 4, and battery compartment fixing member 3; the threaded holes of the protrusion of the battery compartment 1, the holes of the limiting member 4, and the threaded holes of the battery compartment fixing member 3 correspond to each other. In this way, screws and similar components can pass sequentially through the threaded holes of the protruding part of the battery compartment 1, the hole of the limiting member 4, and the threaded hole of the battery compartment fixing member 3, thereby fixing the battery compartment 1, the limiting member 4, and the battery compartment 1 fixing plate together, making the battery compartment 1, the limiting member 4, and the battery compartment 1 fixing plate fit tightly together, further improving the fixing effect of the battery compartment 1. The threaded hole of the battery compartment fixing member 3 can protrude outward (e.g., Figure 13 As shown, it protrudes outward from the back, thereby increasing the thread length of the threaded hole of the battery compartment fixing part 3. This allows the length of the screw or similar component that rotates into the threaded hole of the battery compartment fixing part 3 to be increased, resulting in a better fixing effect.

[0075] Battery compartment cover

[0076] The shape of the battery compartment cover is not limited. For example, it can be like... Figures 15 to 17 As shown in any one of the following, the battery compartment cover 5 can be a circular plate with a certain thickness. Assuming that... Figure 15 As the main viewing angle (non-orthographic projection) of battery 2, then Figure 16 This is the rear view (non-orthographic projection) of battery 2. Figure 17 This is a side view (non-orthographic projection) of battery 2. Specifically, Figure 15This mainly shows the structure of one side (which can be considered the front) of the battery compartment cover 5. Figure 16 The main focus is on the structure of the other side (which can be considered the back) of the battery compartment cover 5. Figure 17 The structure of the battery compartment cover 5 side is mainly shown.

[0077] A schematic diagram of the orthographic projection of the battery compartment cover 5 is shown below. Figure 18 As shown, Figure 18 The front view, rear view, left view (the right view is symmetrical to the left view), and top view (the bottom view is symmetrical to the top view) of the battery compartment cover 5 are shown respectively. Figure 16 as well as Figure 18 The number "11" appearing in the text, except for the number, indicates optional specifications or materials, and is not used to limit the structure of the battery compartment cover 5.

[0078] The battery compartment cover 5 has threads (generally, a protrusion is provided on the back of the battery compartment cover 5, which is similar to a bottle cap, and an internal thread is provided along the protrusion of the battery compartment cover 5). The periphery of the battery compartment opening has threads that match the threads of the battery compartment cover 5 (generally, an external thread is provided on the outer wall of the aforementioned protrusion of the battery compartment 1, similar to the thread of a bottle mouth). Thus, by rotating, the battery compartment cover 5 can be connected and separated from the battery compartment 1, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the battery compartment opening by the battery compartment cover 5.

[0079] In addition, the battery compartment cover 5 is also used to secure the battery 2 inside the battery compartment 1 after the battery compartment opening is closed. For example, after the battery compartment cover 5 closes the battery compartment opening, the back side of the battery compartment cover 5 (i.e., the side facing the battery compartment 1) abuts against the outward-facing end face of the battery 2. If the aforementioned first handle 2.2 is present, the back side of the battery compartment cover 5 abuts against the first handle 2.2. This secures the battery 2 inside the battery compartment 1, prevents the battery 2 from moving, and ensures effective contact between the electrodes of the battery 2 and the electrodes of the battery compartment 1.

[0080] The battery compartment cover 5 may be equipped with a first seal, which prevents objects from entering the battery compartment 1 through the battery compartment opening after the battery compartment cover 5 closes the battery compartment opening. For example, the first seal may be a sealing ring (similar to the sealing ring inside a bottle cap) provided on the back of the battery compartment cover 5. After the battery compartment cover 5 closes the battery compartment opening, the sealing ring abuts against the battery compartment opening to prevent objects, especially small objects and water, from entering the internal space of the battery compartment 1 from the battery compartment opening. And / or, the battery compartment 1 may be equipped with a second seal, which prevents objects from entering the battery compartment 1 through the battery compartment opening after the battery compartment cover 5 closes the battery compartment opening. For example, a sealing ring may be provided along the end of the battery compartment opening. After the battery compartment cover 5 closes the battery compartment opening, the sealing ring abuts against the back of the battery compartment cover 5 to prevent objects, especially small objects and water, from entering the internal space of the battery compartment 1 from the battery compartment opening.

[0081] Additionally, the battery compartment cover 5 may be provided with a second handle 5.1. After the battery compartment cover 5 closes the battery compartment opening, the second handle 5.1 is exposed and used to operate the battery compartment cover 5. For example, the second handle 5.1 may be in the form of a protruding groove, allowing the battery compartment cover 5 to be easily rotated to connect or separate the battery compartment cover 5 from the battery compartment 1.

[0082] The above describes a single battery swapping unit. The following describes the application of the battery swapping unit (the following application content is only an example).

[0083] In daily use, the battery compartment 1 is fixed inside the target device using the battery compartment fastener 3, and the battery 2 is placed inside the battery compartment 1. The battery compartment opening is then closed using the battery compartment cover 5, and the battery 2 powers the target device. When the battery 2 needs to be replaced, the battery compartment cover 5 is opened, the original battery 2 is removed from the battery compartment 1, the new battery 2 is placed inside the battery compartment 1, and the battery compartment opening is closed using the battery compartment cover 5. The new battery 2 then powers the target device.

[0084] As described above, the device battery swapping device provided in the embodiments of this specification may include multiple sets of the above-described battery swapping components. The battery compartments 1 of these multiple sets of battery swapping components are all fixed in the manner described above and located in the internal space of the same target device. The batteries 2 in these multiple sets of battery swapping components supply power to the target device respectively. Through appropriate circuit design (the specific circuit design is not limited), the batteries 2 of these multiple sets of battery swapping components can supply power to the target device respectively, so that when a battery needs to be replaced, the other batteries can still supply power to the target device. In addition, if the battery voltages in the various sets of battery swapping components are inconsistent, the circuit design can be used to preferentially use the higher voltage battery to supply power to the device.

[0085] In this embodiment of the specification, the battery swapping device may also include a power detection module and a communication module. The power detection module is used to detect the power level of the battery 2 in each set of battery swapping components. The power detection module can be connected to the electrodes of each battery compartment 1 so that after the electrodes of the battery 2 are connected to the electrodes of the battery compartment 1, the power detection module can detect the power level of the battery 2.

[0086] The communication module is used to send preset information to the target entity when the power detection results of one or more batteries reach preset conditions. For example, when the power of battery 2 in one or more battery swapping units is lower than a threshold, the communication module sends a power reminder message to the target entity, prompting them to replace battery 2.

[0087] The embodiments described in this specification can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0088] The battery swapping device provided in this specification is directly fixed inside the target device. The battery can be installed and replaced through the battery swapping device, eliminating the need to install a separate power supply box or other power supply equipment outside the target device. This reduces the complexity and cost of installation, deployment and maintenance of the target device and battery 2, and improves the power supply efficiency of the device.

[0089] By opening the battery compartment cover, the battery can be inserted and removed from the battery compartment through a suitable method such as insertion or removal, allowing for direct battery replacement. This improves battery swapping efficiency and reduces power supply and maintenance costs.

[0090] The battery electrodes and the battery compartment electrodes adopt a matching interlocking design. After the battery is placed in the battery compartment, the battery electrodes and the battery compartment electrodes directly interlock and conduct electricity, without the need for additional cables. The battery electrodes and the battery compartment electrodes have good contact, which can ensure the power supply effect and eliminate the need for manual plugging and unplugging of cables.

[0091] Since the battery swapping device is directly fixed inside the target equipment, there is no need to install a separate power supply box or other power supply equipment outside the target equipment, nor is it necessary to connect the target equipment to the power box or other equipment via cables, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing overall appearance.

[0092] The battery is equipped with a first handle, which allows for hand operation and improves the convenience of battery installation and replacement.

[0093] The battery compartment cover can be rotated and disassembled, and a second handle can also be provided, both of which facilitate opening and closing the battery compartment and can be operated by hand.

[0094] The first and / or second seals can improve the protection performance of the battery swapping device, especially the waterproof performance, which can reach IP66 level.

[0095] The device battery swapping unit can include multiple sets of battery swapping components. The batteries of multiple sets of battery swapping components work together to power the target device. The batteries of each set of battery swapping components can be installed and replaced individually as needed, so as to achieve continuous power supply to the target device and precise power supply and endurance control, reduce the power supply and maintenance costs of the target device, and improve power supply efficiency.

[0096] The specific type of target equipment is not limited. For example, this specification also provides a parking management device, which can be used for parking management and billing at roadside or parking lots. As the target equipment, the parking management device includes the battery swapping device described above.

[0097] The shape of parking management equipment is not limited. For example... Figures 19 to 22 As shown in any one of them, the upper part of the parking management equipment is pyramid-shaped, with solar panels 6 on both sides, and a lens 7 at the bottom for collecting parking images or videos.

[0098] like Figure 19 As shown, the pyramid-shaped portion of the parking management device has an internal space for placing and securing the battery compartment 1. This internal space of the parking management device can be cylindrical, with the battery compartment fixing member 3 embedded within it. A limiting member 4 is provided at the opening of this internal space (i.e., the device opening). When the device's battery swapping unit is in use, the main cylindrical portion of the battery compartment 1 passes through the device opening, the opening of the limiting member 4 (the opening shape of the limiting member 4 generally matches the main portion of the battery compartment 1, allowing the main portion of the battery compartment 1 to pass through), and the opening of the battery compartment fixing member 3 (the opening shape of the battery compartment fixing member 3 generally matches the main portion of the battery compartment 1, allowing the main portion of the battery compartment 1 to pass through) into the internal space of the parking management device. The threaded holes of the protruding part of the battery compartment 1, the holes of the limiting member 4, and the threaded holes of the battery compartment fixing member 3 are connected by screws, thereby securing the battery compartment 1, the limiting member 4, and the battery compartment 1 fixing plate together, ensuring a tight fit. A battery 2 is placed inside the battery compartment 1, and the battery compartment opening is closed by rotating the battery compartment cover 5. The effect after battery compartment 1 is fixed is as follows Figure 20 As shown.

[0099] Figure 21 This is a schematic diagram viewed from the other side of the parking management equipment. The internal space of the parking management equipment can penetrate through the pyramid-shaped section. There are equipment openings on both sides of the pyramid-shaped section, so the battery compartment 1 can also be accessed through the opening on the other side and is fixedly connected to the limiting member 4 at the opening on the other side and the fixing plate of the battery compartment 1 by screws. The battery compartment 1 houses the battery 2, forming a... Figure 20 The effect is achieved by rotating the battery compartment cover 5 to close the battery compartment opening.

[0100] In particular, such as Figure 22 As shown, the parking management equipment can have two sets of battery swapping modules, which are installed from the openings on both sides of the equipment. Two parallel battery compartment fixing members 3 are installed inside the parking management equipment to secure the battery compartments 1 entering from the openings on both sides. Limiting members 4 are installed at both openings. The installation and disassembly of one set of battery swapping modules are the same as described above. Figure 19 As shown, the installation and disassembly of another battery swapping unit is the same. Figure 21 As shown, the overall installation breakdown of the two battery swapping modules is as follows: Figure 22 As shown.

[0101] Normally, solar panel 6 generates electricity to charge battery 2, which in turn powers the parking management equipment. If solar power generation is insufficient due to factors such as cloudy weather, shading, damage to solar panel 6, or other factors affecting power generation, causing battery 2 to be unable to meet power requirements, a new battery 2 can be installed to power the parking management equipment, ensuring a reliable power supply. Once solar power generation is normal, it will continue to charge the new battery 2.

[0102] If space permits in the target equipment, more sets of battery swapping components can be included; the embodiments in this specification are not limited to these.

[0103] The above description is merely an embodiment of this specification and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this application should be included within the scope of the claims of this application.
