Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle battery swapping technology, and in particular to a parking platform with a wheel positioning structure. Background Technology
[0002] With the popularization of new energy vehicles, battery swapping has gradually become one of the important charging methods.
[0003] One of the core pieces of equipment at a battery swapping station is the parking platform, whose main function is to support the vehicle and raise its chassis to a position suitable for battery swapping operations.
[0004] However, existing parking platforms have some shortcomings that affect battery swapping efficiency and user experience:
[0005] Lack of precise parking positioning: Existing parking platforms have flat surfaces and lack structures to guide vehicles to precise positioning. Drivers need to rely on external equipment (such as lasers or cameras) and voice prompts to determine whether the vehicle is parked correctly. This is easily affected by external environmental interference, leading to parking position deviations and thus affecting the smooth progress of the battery swapping process.
[0006] Low driver perception: Voice prompts and other methods cannot provide drivers with intuitive feedback on the parking position, making it difficult for drivers to accurately judge the relative position of the vehicle and the parking platform, increasing the difficulty and uncertainty of parking.
[0007] Therefore, developing a parking platform that can guide vehicles to park precisely and provide intuitive location feedback is of great significance for improving battery swapping efficiency and user experience. Utility Model Content
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a parking platform with a wheel positioning structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following solution:
[0010] A parking platform with a wheel positioning structure includes a parking platform, wherein a lower ramp and an upper ramp are respectively provided at the front and rear ends of the parking platform;
[0011] Two openings are provided at the end of the parking platform away from the ramp, and the two openings are symmetrically arranged along the length axis of the parking platform.
[0012] Wheel positioning structures are installed in both of the aforementioned gaps;
[0013] The wheel positioning structure includes two mounting plates and two pressure plates;
[0014] Two mounting plates are respectively installed at the top of both ends of the notch along the length of the parking platform;
[0015] The two pressure plates are respectively installed at opposite ends of the two mounting plates via self-rebound hinges.
[0016] Furthermore, a sensing device is installed within the notch, and the sensing device corresponds to the position of any of the lower pressure plates.
[0017] Furthermore, a slot is provided on the parking platform at the side of the gap away from the ramp.
[0018] A wheel blocking structure is provided inside the slot;
[0019] The wheel blocking structure includes a blocking plate and a lifting assembly;
[0020] The baffle plate is hinged to the top of the slot on the side near the notch;
[0021] The lifting component is used to rotate the blocking plate in a direction facing or away from the notch.
[0022] Furthermore, the sensing device is a micro switch.
[0023] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0024] Precise parking positioning: By setting a wheel positioning structure on the parking platform, vehicles can be guided to park accurately in the designated position, avoiding battery swapping errors caused by parking position deviations and improving battery swapping efficiency.
[0025] Intuitive position feedback: The opening and closing characteristics of the wheel alignment structure and the sensing device can provide the driver with intuitive parking position feedback. The driver can accurately judge whether the vehicle is parked in place without relying on external equipment, which reduces the difficulty of parking and improves the user experience.
[0026] Enhanced safety: The tilting and lifting of the barrier effectively prevents vehicles from rolling off the parking platform, improving the safety of the battery swapping station. Attached Figure Description

[0037] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, a more detailed description of this utility model is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0038] Example 1
[0039] See Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a parking platform with a wheel positioning structure, including a parking platform 1. The front and rear ends of the parking platform 1 are respectively provided with a lower ramp 2 and an upper ramp 3, which are used for battery swapping vehicles to drive directly onto or off the parking platform 1.
[0040] Two gaps 11 are provided at the end of the parking platform 1 away from the ramp 3. The two gaps 11 are symmetrically arranged along the length axis of the parking platform 1.
[0041] Wheel positioning structures are installed inside both gaps 11;
[0042] The wheel alignment structure includes two mounting plates 4 and two pressure plates 5;
[0043] Two mounting plates 4 are respectively installed on the top of the side walls at both ends of the notch 11 along the length of the parking platform 1;
[0044] The two pressure plates 5 are respectively installed on opposite ends of the two mounting plates 4 via self-returning hinges 6.
[0045] It should be noted that when the two lower pressure plates 5 are not pressed by the vehicle's wheels, they are in a horizontal state under the action of the self-returning hinge 6. At this time, the two mounting plates 4 and the two lower pressure plates 5 seal the gap 11. When the wheel drives onto the wheel positioning structure, the two lower pressure plates 5 are pressed down, and the wheel will be stuck in the gap 11. The driver can feel the vibration of the vehicle and can intuitively understand and judge that the wheel is in the gap 11 and the parking is in place. When the wheel leaves the wheel positioning structure, the two lower pressure plates 5 reset under the action of the self-returning hinge 6 and re-seal the gap 11.
[0046] In addition, see Figure 3 The mounting plate 4 can be set in a triangular shape, which can further prevent the wheel from rushing out after entering the wheel positioning structure and provide a blocking effect for the wheel.
[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 3 A sensor 7 can be installed in the gap 11. The sensor 7 corresponds to the position of any of the lower pressure plates 5. The sensor 7 can determine whether a wheel has entered the wheel positioning structure so that the necessary components can transmit signals.
[0048] It should be noted that the sensing device 7 is a micro switch.
[0049] Example 2
[0050] See Figure 1-3 As shown, the parking platform with a wheel positioning structure provided in this embodiment differs from the previous embodiment in that...
[0051] A slot 12 is also provided on the side of the parking platform 1 located away from the upper ramp 3 at the gap 11;
[0052] A wheel blocking structure is provided inside the slot 12;
[0053] The wheel blocking structure includes a blocking plate 8 and a lifting assembly 9;
[0054] The top of the baffle plate 8 is hinged to the slot 12 on the side near the notch 11;
[0055] The lifting component 9 is used to drive the blocking plate 8 to rotate in a direction facing or away from the notch 11.
[0056] It should be noted that when there is no car on the parking platform 1, the barrier 8 is in a horizontal position, blocking the slot 12.
[0057] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, two sets of wheel blocking structures can be set, and two slots 12 are also set.
[0058] Specifically, the wheel blocking structure can further prevent the wheel from rolling off the parking platform 1. The wheel blocking structure and the wheel positioning structure have a synergistic effect. For example, when the sensor 7 detects that the wheel has entered the wheel positioning structure, the wheel positioning structure can start working, causing the lifting component 9 to drive the blocking plate 8 to rotate in the direction facing the notch 11 until it tilts to a certain angle. When the sensor 7 detects that the wheel has left the wheel positioning structure, the wheel positioning structure can start resetting, causing the lifting component 9 to drive the blocking plate 8 to rotate in the direction away from the notch 11 until the slot 12 is resealed.
[0059] Specifically, regarding the specific structure of the lifting component 9, those skilled in the art can implement its function in various ways, and can also refer to another patent technology of the patentee, application number: 202421331438.3, which will not be elaborated on here.
[0060] This document uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this utility model. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this utility model. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will recognize that, based on the ideas of this utility model, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
