[0002] With the maturation of battery technology, new energy electric vehicles are also more and more accepted by the market, compared with charging, battery swap has the advantages of being more fast, vehicle and power being separable to reduce the purchase and maintenance cost, making the vehicle utilization rate higher, and therefore the battery swap station appears more and more on the market. At the same time, with the increasing concern of people on the safety of battery, setting fire-fighting device in the battery swap station has become a more common technical means, however, setting an independent fire-fighting area in the limited space of the battery swap station undoubtedly reduces the utilization rate of the battery swap station, and since the fire-fighting area is set in the battery swap station to deal with the thermal runaway battery, there is also a risk of thermal runaway spreading to damage the normal battery. There are also existing technologies on the market that externally place the fire-fighting warehouse in the battery swap station, but the fire-fighting means used almost all directly damage the thermal runaway battery, such as using throwing, soaking and other means, which cannot classify and process the thermal runaway battery. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a battery swap station that can quickly transfer the thermal runaway battery from the battery swap station to the outside of the battery swap station for reasonable disposal, so as to repair the thermal runaway battery when it still has value, avoid directly using destructive fire-fighting means, and reduce economic loss.

[0030] Preferably, the track 13 extending out of one end of the cabinet 10 is provided with a limiting block 131, which is used to limit the moving distance of the battery replacement robot 3, prevent the battery replacement robot 3 from derailing or position the battery replacement robot 3 to align with the fire platform 2.

[0031] The box 10 is provided with a plurality of battery storage positions (not shown) for storing battery replacement batteries, and the battery storage positions are aligned with the fire-fighting platform 2 in the direction parallel to the track 13, which has the advantage that the distance of the lifting device 33 on the telescopic arm 32 of the battery replacement robot 3 is the same when the hot runaway battery is taken or placed, so that the battery replacement robot can accurately calculate the extension amount of the lifting device 33, reduce the calculation amount, and improve the taking and placing efficiency.

[0032] Preferably, the top of the box 10 extends in the direction of the driving lane 4 and is provided with a shielding roof 102, when the lifting device 33 is in the first state, the telescopic arm 32 extends out of the battery replacement window 101 and is located below the shielding roof 102, so that the battery replacement operation is not affected even in rainy days. At the same time, in order to improve the disposal efficiency of the hot runaway battery, in this embodiment, the top lifting type battery replacement is taken as an example, the periphery of the fire-fighting platform 2 is upwardly provided with a plurality of guide devices 23, and the hot runaway battery can be quickly and accurately placed by the guide device 23 when the battery replacement robot 3 places the hot runaway battery on the fire-fighting platform 2. Further, the fire-fighting platform 2 comprises a cabinet type support structure composed of a plurality of stand columns 20 and side plates 21 and end plates 22, and a storage platform 201 located at the top, and the guide device 23 is arranged on the periphery of the storage platform 201, and the hot runaway battery can be carried into the storage space 201 by the battery replacement robot 3. Preferably, the fire-fighting platform 2 has a certain height, which is preferably consistent with the height of the battery storage position in the box 10, which has the advantage that on the one hand it is helpful to observe the risk level of the hot runaway battery, on the other hand it is beneficial to the repair and maintenance or fire-fighting treatment of the hot runaway battery, and it is also beneficial to the control of the lifting height of the lifting device 33 by the battery replacement robot 3. Obviously, in other embodiments, the battery replacement station 100 with a fire-fighting platform according to the present application can also be used in other scenarios with a battery replacement robot and a track and a box, such as side replacement type battery replacement, or battery replacement for passenger cars from the bottom, and the like, which will not be described here.

[0033] By using the battery replacement station 100 with a fire-fighting platform according to the present application, the risk level of the hot runaway battery can be judged more intuitively, and different fire-fighting measures can be taken accordingly, on the one hand, there is space and opportunity to rescue the hot runaway battery, on the other hand, the safety of other batteries in the battery replacement station is ensured, and the economic loss caused by the battery thermal runaway is greatly reduced. Again, it has good market promotion value due to its high safety.
