AI Technical Summary
The existing battery swapping cabinet's heating duct design causes hot air to drift upwards, resulting in lower temperatures in the bottom battery compartment and higher temperatures in the upper battery compartment. This uneven heat distribution, coupled with the fact that unused battery compartments are still heated, leads to energy waste.
A heating air duct structure including a vertical main air duct and a horizontal air duct is designed. The distribution of hot air is controlled by a flow control structure and a pin-and-partition mechanism, so that the heat is concentrated in the lower battery compartment. The empty battery compartment is isolated from the hot air by the pin-and-partition mechanism to avoid heating.
This achieves uniform heat distribution within the battery compartment, reducing energy waste and improving heating efficiency and energy saving.

[0002] Since the charging efficiency of the battery is very low under low temperature, and even cannot be charged, a heating air duct is usually arranged in the battery replacing cabinet to heat the battery replacing cabinet under cold weather. However, the existing heating air duct usually has one horizontal main air duct, and then communicates with a plurality of vertical air ducts, such as the utility model patent CN 212765825 U discloses a charging and battery replacing cabinet. However, the problem is that since the hot air is lighter, it will float upwards, and since the ground temperature is lower than the air temperature in cold weather, the temperature of the battery compartment of the battery replacing cabinet closer to the bottom is lower, and needs more heating; this results in that the battery compartment at the bottom which needs more heating gets less heating energy, and the battery compartment at the upper part which needs less heating gets more heating energy, which leads to the waste of energy, and therefore needs to be improved. In addition, the existing battery replacing cabinet heats all the battery compartments, but there are usually empty battery compartments in the battery replacing cabinet, and heating them also leads to the waste of resources.
