Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery installation, specifically to a battery replacement cart. Background Technology

[0002] With increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements, the mining industry is gradually shifting towards green energy solutions. Traditional fuel-powered and lead-acid battery-powered mining transport vehicles suffer from high energy consumption, high pollution, and high maintenance costs, while lithium batteries, with their advantages of high energy density, long lifespan, and fast charging, have become an ideal alternative. Mining lithium battery-powered transport vehicles not only reduce environmental pollution but also improve work efficiency and safety, driving the mining transportation system towards intelligent and sustainable development, and becoming one of the key technologies for the transformation of modern mining.

[0003] In existing technologies, mining lithium battery transport vehicles typically perform battery replacement through the space under the vehicle. Chinese patent CN209096692U discloses a method using a first and second docking part that are connected to each other to achieve positioning relative to the battery compartment. In addition, Chinese patent CN221585370U uses a hydraulic cylinder to drive the linkage shaft up and down, which in turn causes the second and first rhomboid plates to deform, driving the upper battery placement plate to move up and down, fitting the battery pack and receiving its downward movement. This allows for rapid movement to the underside of the vehicle for battery replacement, solving the safety problem of existing methods that involve raising the vehicle for battery swapping. However, neither of these technologies is suitable for battery replacement in mining explosion-proof lithium battery wheeled transport vehicles. The relatively low chassis height of mining transport vehicles makes it difficult to perform battery replacement through the space under the vehicle; therefore, mining explosion-proof lithium battery wheeled transport vehicles need to adopt a side-mounted battery replacement solution. Furthermore, both technologies are limited to vertical or horizontal battery replacement operation modes, making it difficult to flexibly adapt to the complex and ever-changing ground operating environment. Currently, there is still a lack of effective solutions for battery replacement in explosion-proof lithium-ion battery wheeled transport vehicles used in mining.

[0004] Therefore, developing a battery swapping cart that is labor-saving, easy to operate, and can effectively reduce friction during battery replacement has broad application prospects in the field of battery swapping. Utility Model Content
