[0069] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which show representative embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0070] See Figures 1 to 8 This utility model provides a battery swapping station 110. The battery swapping station 110 includes a main housing 111, a housing 112, and a vehicle platform 113.

[0071] The main container 111 has the same external dimensions as a standard shipping container. Along the width direction D2 of the battery swapping station 110, the main container 111 has an opening at at least one end to form a main passage 111e connecting the interior of the main container 111 to the outside. A battery swapping station 110a is located at the bottom of the main passage 111e. Along the length direction D1 of the battery swapping station 110, the opening is located at the end of the main container 111.

[0072] Along the width direction D2 of the battery swapping station 110, the ear box 112 is located outside the opening. The ear box 112 is detachably connected to the main housing 111. The ear box 112 forms an auxiliary channel 112a that extends along the width direction D2 of the battery swapping station 110. The auxiliary channel 112a communicates with the main channel 111e to form a driving channel 110b for vehicles.

[0073] Along the width direction D2 of the battery swapping station 110, one end of the traveling platform 113 extends to the battery swapping station 110a, and the other end extends to the outside of the ear box 112. The end of the traveling platform 113 closest to the battery swapping station 110a is detachably connected to the main housing 111 and / or the ear box 112.

[0074] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the battery swapping station 110 has the same external dimensions as a standard shipping container as the main body 111, and the side boxes 112 and the traveling platform 113 are detachably connected to the main body 111. This facilitates the transport of the main body 111 by sea, and the disassembled side boxes 112 and traveling platform 113 can be loaded into a standard shipping container for sea transport. By adopting the above-mentioned technical means, the battery swapping station 110 can adapt to the needs of sea transport, thereby greatly reducing sea transport costs. After adopting the external dimensions of the main body 111 as those of a standard shipping container, the width of the main body 111 is relatively narrow, which is insufficient to accommodate the length of the vehicle body, making it difficult to cover the entire vehicle body. Therefore, by setting the side boxes 112, the width of the main body 111 is extended to meet the requirement of covering the entire vehicle body.

[0075] See Figures 1 to 3 as well as Figure 5 In some embodiments, the main housing 111 has openings at both ends along the width direction of the battery swapping station 110, allowing the main passageway 111e to pass through it. The battery swapping station 110 includes two side enclosures 112. The two side enclosures 112 are positioned opposite each other on both sides of the main housing 111 along the width direction D2 of the battery swapping station 110. The battery swapping station 110 also includes two traveling platforms 113. The two traveling platforms 113 are positioned opposite each other on both sides of the main housing 111 along the width direction D2 of the battery swapping station 110. By providing two side enclosures 112, the front and rear of the vehicle can be shielded respectively when the main body of the vehicle is parked within the main passageway 111e. By providing two traveling platforms 113, vehicles can easily enter and exit the main passageway 111e from either side of the main housing 111 along the width direction D2. At the same time, this also makes it easier to ensure that the battery installation location of the vehicle is aligned with the battery swapping station when the vehicle is parked in the main channel 111e, making the battery swapping operation smoother.

[0076] See Figures 1 to 3 as well as Figure 6 Furthermore, the ear box 112 includes a pair of auxiliary sidewalls 112b. The pair of auxiliary sidewalls 112b are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the overhead platform 113 along the length direction D1 of the swapping station 110. One end of the auxiliary sidewall 112b along the width direction D2 of the swapping station 110 is detachably connected to the main container 111. By providing the auxiliary sidewalls 112b, the overhead platform 113 can be used as at least as enclosures on both sides along the length direction D1 of the swapping station 110. Moreover, the auxiliary sidewalls 112b are detachably connected to the main container 111, facilitating the separation of the main container 111 from the auxiliary sidewalls 112b for transport during sea transport, thereby enabling the main container 111 to be transported as a standard container or together with other standard containers.

[0077] See Figure 6 Optionally, the auxiliary sidewall 112b is bolted to the main housing 111. Bolting is one of the most readily available and adopted detachable connection methods, and it also facilitates assembly and disassembly. Specifically, both the auxiliary sidewall 112b and the main housing 111 have mounting holes. Bolts pass through the mounting holes of both the auxiliary sidewall 112b and the main housing 111 and are fitted with nuts, thereby enabling the auxiliary sidewall 112b to be securely connected to the main housing 111.

[0078] In other examples, the auxiliary sidewall 112b can also be connected to the main housing 111 via other detachable connection structures such as snap-fit ​​connections.

[0079] See Figures 1 to 4 as well as Figure 6 In some embodiments, the ear box 112 includes an auxiliary door frame 112d, a pair of auxiliary side walls 112b, and an auxiliary top cover 112c. The auxiliary door frame 112d includes a top beam 112d1 and a pair of side beams 112d2. The pair of side beams 112d2 are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the traveling platform 113 along the length direction D1 of the swapping station 110. The top beam 112d1 is connected to the top of the pair of side beams 112d2. Along the length direction D1 of the swapping station 110, the pair of auxiliary side walls 112b are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the traveling platform 113, with the pair of side walls 112b located on the opposite side of the pair of side beams 112d2. The auxiliary top cover 112c is located above the top beam 112d1. Along the length direction D1 of the battery swapping station 110, the two ends of the auxiliary top cover 112c are respectively connected to the top of a pair of auxiliary side walls 112b.

[0080] The auxiliary door frame 112d is detachably connected to the auxiliary side wall 112b. The auxiliary door frame 112d is also detachably connected to the auxiliary top cover 112c. The auxiliary side wall 112b is also detachably connected to the auxiliary top cover 112c.

[0081] By detachably connecting the auxiliary door frame 112d to the auxiliary side wall 112b, it is convenient to transport the auxiliary door frame 112d and the auxiliary side wall 112b separately. Similarly, by detachably connecting the auxiliary door frame 112d to the auxiliary top cover 112c, it is convenient to transport the auxiliary door frame 112d and the auxiliary top cover 112c separately. Likewise, by detachably connecting the auxiliary side wall 112b to the auxiliary top cover 112c, it is convenient to transport the auxiliary side wall 112b and the auxiliary top cover 112c separately. Therefore, in this embodiment, the ear box 112 can not only be disassembled and assembled as a whole from the main box 111, but also the auxiliary door frame 112d, the auxiliary side wall 112b, and the auxiliary top cover 112c can be disassembled and assembled together. This further reduces the space occupied during transportation, thereby lowering transportation costs.

[0082] See Figure 6 Optionally, the auxiliary door frame 112d is bolted to the auxiliary side wall 112b. The ear box 112 includes multiple snap-fit ​​connectors 112f. The auxiliary door frame 112d is connected to the auxiliary top cover 112c via snap-fit ​​connectors 112f. The auxiliary side wall 112b is connected to the auxiliary top cover 112c via snap-fit ​​connectors 112f. By bolting the auxiliary door frame 112d to the auxiliary side wall 112b, not only is disassembly and assembly easier, but the stability of the connection structure between the auxiliary door frame 112d and the auxiliary side wall 112b is also improved. Thus, by bolting the ear box 112 to the main body 111, the stability of the main structure of the ear box 112 is further ensured. Furthermore, the assembly of the auxiliary door frame 112d and the auxiliary top cover 112c, and the auxiliary side wall 112b and the auxiliary top cover 112c, using snap-fit ​​connectors 112f, greatly improves the efficiency of disassembly and assembly of the ear box 112.

[0083] See Figures 1 to 4 as well as Figure 6 In some embodiments, the top of the auxiliary door frame 112d is provided with a width positioning member 112d3 to facilitate positioning of the auxiliary top cover 112c in the width direction D2 of the battery swapping station 110. After the auxiliary door frame 112d, auxiliary sidewall 112b, and main housing 111 are assembled, the width positioning member 112d3 can position the auxiliary top cover 112c in the width direction D2, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the auxiliary top cover 112c.

[0084] Continue reading Figures 1 to 4 as well as Figure 6 In other embodiments, the top of the auxiliary sidewall 112b is provided with a length positioning member 112b1 protruding to facilitate positioning of the auxiliary top cover 112c in the length direction D1 of the battery swapping station 110. With the auxiliary door frame 112d, auxiliary sidewall 112b, and main housing 111 assembled, the length positioning member 112b1 can position the auxiliary top cover 112c in the length direction D1, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the auxiliary top cover 112c.

[0085] See also Figures 1 to 4 as well as Figure 6In some embodiments, the top of the auxiliary door frame 112d is provided with a width positioning member 112d3 to position the auxiliary top cover 112c in the width direction D2 of the swapping station 110. Furthermore, the top of the auxiliary side wall 112b is provided with a length positioning member 112b1 to position the auxiliary top cover 112c in the length direction D1 of the swapping station 110. With the auxiliary door frame 112d, auxiliary side wall 112b, and main housing 111 assembled, the width positioning member 112d3 can position the auxiliary top cover 112c in the width direction D2, and the length positioning member 112b1 can position the auxiliary top cover 112c in the length direction D1, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the auxiliary top cover 112c.

[0086] See Figures 1 to 3 as well as Figure 6 In some embodiments, the ear box 112 further includes a pair of adjustable feet 112d4. The adjustable feet 112d4 are movably connected to the bottom of a pair of door frame side beams 112d2 in the height direction D3 of the battery swapping station 110, respectively, to support the auxiliary door frame 112d. This facilitates adjustment of the bottom height of the adjustable feet 112d4 according to the actual installation height of the auxiliary door frame 112d, ensuring that the auxiliary door frame 112d can be reliably supported, thereby preventing the ear box 112 from deforming due to the auxiliary door frame 112d being suspended.

[0087] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 6 In some embodiments, the ear box 112 further includes an auxiliary lintel 112d5. The auxiliary lintel 112d5 is connected to the lower part of the door frame top beam 112d1. Both ends of the auxiliary lintel 112d5 along the length direction D1 are respectively connected to a pair of door frame side beams 112d2. By providing the auxiliary lintel 112d5, the shielding function can be enhanced to reduce or prevent rainwater and other foreign objects from entering the driving passage 110b in use environments such as rain.

[0088] Continue reading Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 6 In some embodiments, the ear box 112 further includes an auxiliary beam 112e. Both ends of the auxiliary beam 112e are detachably connected to the lower parts of a pair of door frame side beams 112d2. By providing the auxiliary beam 112e, the structural stability of the lower part of the auxiliary door frame 112d can be maintained during the assembly of the ear box 112, while also ensuring that the spacing between the lower parts of the pair of auxiliary beams 112e is well maintained. The auxiliary beam 112e is typically used during the assembly of the ear box 112 or during transportation of the ear box 112 in its assembled state to maintain the shape stability of the ear box 112. After the ear box 112 is assembled into the main body 111, the auxiliary beam 112e can be removed.

[0089] Refer to Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the auxiliary door frame 112d, the auxiliary side wall 112b, and the auxiliary top cover 112c are respectively provided with lifting rings 112g. This facilitates the lifting of the auxiliary door frame 112d, the auxiliary side wall 112b, and the auxiliary top cover 112c.

[0090] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , in some embodiments, the driving platform 113 includes a vehicle-carrying platform 113b and a driving ramp 113c. One end of the vehicle-carrying platform 113b close to the battery replacement station 110a is detachably connected to the box body 111. And the vehicle-carrying platform 113b is provided with a wheel positioning component 113a or is adapted to be provided with a wheel positioning component 113a. The driving ramp 113c is farther away from the battery replacement station 110a along the width direction D2 of the battery replacement station 110 than the vehicle-carrying platform 113b. The driving ramp 113c is detachably connected to one end of the vehicle-carrying platform 113b away from the battery replacement station 110a. And one end of the driving ramp 113c close to the vehicle-carrying platform 113b is higher than one end of the driving ramp 113c away from the vehicle-carrying platform 113b. In this embodiment, the vehicle-carrying platform 113b stably carries the vehicle for battery replacement operation. By providing the driving ramp 113c, it is convenient for the vehicle to drive from the ground to the vehicle-carrying platform 113b.

[0091] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , optionally, the arrangement range of the vehicle-carrying platform 113b at least corresponds to the main channel 111e. This ensures that the vehicle battery part of the vehicle parked on the vehicle-carrying platform 113b can be located in the main channel 111e.

[0092] Refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , further, the vehicle-carrying platform 113b includes a plurality of vehicle-carrying parts 113b1. The plurality of vehicle-carrying parts 113b1 can be arranged along the width direction D2 of the battery replacement station 110. The plurality of vehicle-carrying parts 113b1 can also be arranged along the length direction D1 of the battery replacement station 110. The plurality of vehicle-carrying parts 113b1 can also be respectively arranged along the width direction D2 and the length direction D1 of the battery replacement station 110, generally in a matrix arrangement. For example, the vehicle-carrying platform 113b includes four vehicle-carrying parts 113b1, and the four vehicle-carrying parts 113b1 are arranged in a "field" shape. The adjacent vehicle-carrying parts 113b1 are detachably connected to each other. This facilitates the transportation of the vehicle-carrying platform 113b after being disassembled to reduce the space occupied during transportation.

[0093] Continue to refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8, optionally, the vehicle-carrying platform 113b further includes an extension part 113b2. The extension part 113b2 is connected to the vehicle-carrying part 113b1. The extension part 113b2 is located at one end of the vehicle-carrying platform 113b away from the driving ramp 113c along the width direction D2 of the battery swapping station 110. In the installation state where the driving platform 113 is installed on the main box body 111, the extension part 113b2 is located inside the main box body 111. The extension part 113b2 can be used to fill a part of the vacancy at the bottom of the main box body 111.

[0094] Refer back to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , further, the driving ramp 113c includes a plurality of ramp parts 113c1. The plurality of ramp parts 113c1 can be arranged along the width direction D2 of the battery swapping station 110. The plurality of ramp parts 113c1 can also be arranged along the length direction D1 of the battery swapping station 110. The plurality of ramp parts 113c1 can also be arranged along the width direction D2 and the length direction D1 of the battery swapping station 110, substantially in a matrix arrangement. For example, the driving ramp 113c includes four ramp parts 113c1, and the four ramp parts 113c1 are arranged in a "field" shape. Adjacent ramp parts 113c1 are detachably connected to each other.
