[0043] In some embodiments of the application, a battery swap electric vehicle is provided, comprising a bottom frame 100 and a battery compartment 200.
[0044] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 The bottom frame 100 encloses a battery compartment containing space 110 for containing the battery compartment 200, and the bottom of the bottom frame 100 is open to form a battery compartment entrance and exit 120, which communicates with the battery compartment containing space 110, realizing the entry and exit of the battery compartment 200 from the bottom of the bottom frame 100 to the battery compartment containing space 110.
[0045] The bottom frame 100 comprises an annular circumferential side wall, which comprises two opposite first side walls 130, and a plurality of first clamping portions 140 are formed on the first side wall 130. The first clamping portion 140 is used for one-to-one clamping with a plurality of second clamping portions 230 on the second side wall 240 of the battery compartment 200 corresponding to the two opposite first side walls 130 of the bottom frame 100.
[0046] Then the bottom frame 100 in the embodiment of the application is an independent structural component, which can be separated from the battery compartment 200, and the bottom frame 100 is convenient for maintenance and repair; the bottom frame 100 has an annular circumferential side wall, and the bottom of the bottom frame 100 is formed with a battery compartment entrance and exit 120, so that the battery compartment 200 enters and exits the battery compartment containing space 110 from the bottom of the bottom frame 100, and when the battery compartment 200 and the battery enter the bottom frame, the circumferential side wall of the bottom frame 100 can wrap the side surface of the battery compartment 200 and the battery in the battery compartment, ensuring the safety of the battery in use, without the need to set an electric compartment door, which is conducive to simplifying the structure of the bottom frame 100 and reducing the manufacturing cost of the vehicle.
[0047] In some embodiments of the application, the battery profile is approximately rectangular, and the profiles of the battery compartment 200 and the bottom frame 100 are approximately rectangular. Then for the bottom frame 100, in addition to the two opposite first side walls 130, the circumferential side wall further comprises two opposite third side walls 150 connected perpendicularly to the two first side walls 130, so as to enclose the circumferential side wall of the rectangular bottom frame 100.
[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, the first side wall 130 is a lengthwise side wall of the rectangular underbody frame 100, and the first clamping portion 140 can be provided in plurality along the lengthwise direction of the first side wall 130.
[0049] The circumferential side wall of the rectangular underbody frame 100 is provided with horizontal baffles 160 at the top four corners, so as to limit and stop the upward movement of the battery compartment 200 into the battery compartment accommodating space 110. Meanwhile, the underbody frame 100 can be fixedly connected to the underbody beam of the battery swap electric vehicle through the horizontal baffles 160.
[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, a set of inductive components (not shown) are arranged at the top corners of the underbody frame 100 respectively, such as being arranged on the bottom surface of the two horizontal baffles 160 at the opposite corners, for sensing whether the battery compartment 200 is in place. The inductive components can be proximity sensors or pressure sensors, etc., which are not limited here.
[0051] In order to increase the structural strength of the underbody frame 100 as much as possible on the basis of reducing the weight of the underbody frame 100 as much as possible, in some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 The first side wall 130 of the underbody frame 100 comprises an outer shell and a reinforcing framework in the shell.
[0052] Specifically, the outer shell comprises an outer side plate 131 and an inner side plate 132, and the inner side plate 132 is formed with an inner side through portion 133; the reinforcing framework is provided with a clamping block 134 at a position corresponding to the inner side through portion 133, the outer side of the clamping block 134 is fixedly connected to the outer side plate 131, the inner side of the clamping block 134 is formed with a first protruding portion 135, the first protruding portion 135 is embedded in the inner side through portion 133 and abuts against the bottom wall of the inner side through portion 133, the first protruding portion 135 has a guide inclined surface 136, the guide inclined surface 136 is at a distance from the top wall of the inner side through portion 133, so that the guide inclined surface 136 and the inner side through portion 133 form a first clamping portion 140 in the shape of a groove, i.e. the first clamping portion 140 is a clamping groove.
[0053] The clamping block 134 is integrally connected with the outer side plate 131, and is embedded in the inner side through portion 133 and abuts against the bottom wall of the inner side through portion 133. The clamping block 134 can be further fixed on the bottom wall of the inner side through portion 133, so that the first clamping portion 140 in the form of a clamping groove has sufficient depth and structural strength, and can cooperate with the second clamping portion 230 on the battery compartment 200 to support the battery compartment 200 and the battery in the battery compartment. If the first clamping portion 140 is formed on a whole side plate, in order to ensure the depth and structural strength of the first clamping portion 140, the thickness of the side plate must be large, which increases the weight and manufacturing cost of the whole first side wall 130 and even the vehicle bottom frame 100, and accordingly increases the manufacturing cost of the battery swap vehicle.
[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, the inner side plate 132, the outer side plate 131, the reinforcing framework and the clamping block 134 can be integrally connected by welding.
[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 The outer side plate 131 is provided with a positioning hole 1314 at a position corresponding to the clamping block 134, and the outer side of the clamping block 134 is provided with a positioning protrusion (not shown due to viewing angle), which is embedded in the positioning hole 1314. On the one hand, the positioning protrusion can position the clamping block 134, and on the other hand, the positioning protrusion can increase the contact area between the clamping block 134 and the outer side plate 131, thereby improving the connection reliability.
[0056] Further, the reinforcing framework includes a plurality of vertical beams 137 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the first side wall 130. The inner and outer sides of the vertical beams 137 are formed with second protruding portions 138, and the outer side plate 131 and the inner side plate 132 are correspondingly formed with through holes 139. The second protruding portions 138 are embedded in the through holes 139. The plurality of second protruding portions 138 of the plurality of vertical beams 137 are connected with the inner side plate 132 and the outer side plate 131 respectively, which can increase the contact area between the reinforcing framework and the outer side plate 131 and the inner side plate 132, thereby further increasing the connection strength of the reinforcing framework and the structural strength of the whole first side wall 130 and even the vehicle bottom frame 100.
[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, the shell further includes a top plate, a bottom plate, a front end plate and a rear end plate, which form a closed hollow shell structure with the inner side plate 132 and the outer side plate 131. The top plate and the bottom plate can be integrally bent structures with the outer side plate 131 or the inner side plate 132, so that Figure 4As shown, the top plate and the bottom plate are in an integral bending structure with the outer side plate 131, and are welded to the top edge and the bottom edge of the inner side plate 132. The top plate and the bottom plate are also provided with a plurality of protruding structures along the length direction. The top edge and the bottom edge of the inner side plate 132 are provided with corresponding recessed structures. The protruding structures and the recessed structures are matched one by one, thereby improving the welding reliability.
[0058] Similarly, the connection parts of the front end plate and the outer side plate 131, the connection parts of the front end plate and the inner side plate 132, the connection parts of the rear end plate and the outer side plate 131, and the connection parts of the rear end plate and the inner side plate 132 are also provided with matching concave-convex structures, thereby further improving the welding reliability and the structural strength of the entire first side wall 130.
[0059] As shown, Figure 4 The clamping block 134 is located between two adjacent vertical beams 137 connected by the cross beam 1310. The clamping block 134 is fixedly arranged on the cross beam 1310. The clamping block 134, the vertical beam 137, and the cross beam 1310 are integrally connected by welding, thereby further improving the structural strength.
[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown, Figures 1 to 3 The first side wall 130 further includes a bottom reinforcing beam 1311 fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell. The bottom reinforcing beam 1311 extends from one end of the shell to the other end. The inner side surface of the bottom reinforcing beam 1311 is provided with a guide inclined surface for guiding the battery compartment 200 to enter the battery compartment containing space 110.
[0061] Specifically, the bottom reinforcing beam 1311 and the shell can be fixedly connected by welding or screw connection, which is not limited herein. The guide inclined surface can be formed by a wedge-shaped guide block 1312 fixedly arranged on the inner side surface of the bottom reinforcing beam 1311. On the one hand, the bottom reinforcing beam 1311 can further improve the structural strength of the entire vehicle bottom frame 100. On the other hand, the guide inclined surface for guiding the battery compartment 200 can be conveniently arranged without increasing the complexity of the shell structure as much as possible.
[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, the inner side surfaces of two opposite third side walls 150 of the vehicle bottom frame 100 are provided with end reinforcing beams 1313 to enhance the structural strength of the third side wall 150. The inner side surfaces of the end reinforcing beams 1313 are also provided with guide inclined surfaces for guiding the battery compartment 200 to enter the battery compartment containing space 110.
[0063] For the battery compartment 200, referring to Figures 5 to 11, the battery compartment 200 is arranged in the battery compartment accommodating space 110 and detachably connected with the underframe 100; the battery compartment 200 encloses a battery accommodating space 210 for accommodating the battery, and a battery inlet and outlet 220 is formed on one side wall of the battery compartment 200, i.e. the battery enters and exits the battery compartment 200 from the side of the battery compartment 200; a plurality of second clamping portions 230 are formed on a second side wall 240 of the battery compartment 200 corresponding to the two opposite first side walls 130 of the underframe 100, and the second clamping portions 230 are correspondingly clamped and matched with the first clamping portions 140 to lock the battery compartment 200 in the battery compartment accommodating space 110.
[0064] When the first side wall 130 is the length direction side wall of the rectangular underframe 100, correspondingly, the second side wall 240 of the battery compartment 200 is the length direction side wall of the rectangular battery compartment 200, the second clamping portions 230 are arranged along the length direction of the second side wall 240 and correspondingly arranged with the plurality of first clamping portions 140 to improve the locking reliability of the battery compartment 200 in the underframe 100.
[0065] For the second clamping portion 230 of the battery compartment 200, as shown in Figures 5 to 11 , the second clamping portion 230 is a clamping jaw, one end of which has a first rotating shaft 231, the first rotating shaft 231 is fixedly connected on the second side wall 240, the top end of the second clamping portion 230 is rotationally connected on the first rotating shaft 231 and further rotationally connected on the second side wall 240 of the battery compartment 200, and the bottom surface of the second clamping portion 230 serves as a clamping surface for abutting and matching with the first clamping portion 140; a first torsional spring 250 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 231, and the restoring force of the first torsional spring 250 drives the second clamping portion 230 to tightly match with the first clamping portion 140, i.e. the second clamping portion 230 is clamped in the first clamping portion 140 under the elastic restoring force of the first torsional spring 250.
[0066] In the process that the battery compartment 200 and the battery in the battery compartment move upward through the battery compartment inlet and outlet 120 at the bottom of the underframe 100 to enter the battery compartment accommodating space 110, the second clamping portion 230 of the battery compartment 200 is always pressed to deform and store energy of the first torsional spring 250 under the extrusion of the first side wall 130 of the underframe 100, and the second clamping portion 230 is equivalent to being in a compressed state, when the second clamping portion 230 reaches the position of the first clamping portion 140, the second clamping portion 230 is clamped in the first clamping portion 140 under the restoring force of the first torsional spring 250, thereby locking and positioning the battery compartment 200 in the underframe 100, as shown in Figures 12 to 15 .
[0067] Under the gravity of the battery compartment 200 and the battery in the battery compartment, the second clamping portion 230 is stably clamped in the first clamping portion 140.
[0068] To realize the disengagement of the battery compartment 200 and the vehicle bottom frame 100, in some embodiments of the present application, an unlocking mechanism is arranged on the battery compartment 200, which drives the second clamping part 230 to disengage from the first clamping part 140 when in action to unlock the battery compartment 200 and the battery in the compartment.
[0069] For the unlocking mechanism of the battery compartment 200, as shown in Figures 8 to 11 , it includes a sliding piece 260 and a conversion assembly, the sliding piece 260 is arranged on the battery compartment 200 and slides in the first direction, and the conversion assembly is arranged between the sliding piece 260 and the second clamping part 230 to connect the sliding piece 260 and the second clamping part 230. The conversion assembly is configured to convert the reciprocating sliding of the sliding piece 260 into the rotation of the second clamping part 230, so that the second clamping part 230 can rotate and disengage from the first clamping part 140, and the first torsional spring 250 is deformed and stores energy during the rotation of the second clamping part 230 and the disengagement from the first clamping part 140.
[0070] Therefore, when the battery compartment 200 and the battery in the compartment need to be unlocked, the sliding piece 260 slides in the first direction, and then the second clamping part 230 is driven to rotate and disengage from the first clamping part 140 through the conversion assembly. During the rotation of the second clamping part 230 and the disengagement from the first clamping part 140, the second clamping part 230 extrudes the first torsional spring 250 to deform and store energy.
[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, the sliding piece 260 is arranged on the bottom plate of the battery compartment 200, and a push cooperation part 261 is formed on the bottom surface of the sliding piece 260. A bottom through part 270 is formed on the bottom plate of the battery compartment 200 corresponding to the push cooperation part 261, so as to facilitate the operation of the push cooperation part 261 from the bottom of the battery compartment 200 to make the sliding piece 260 slide. For example, a driving part such as an electric push rod is arranged on the transfer trolley of the battery swap station to cooperate with the push cooperation part 261 to push the sliding piece 260 to slide in the first direction.
[0072] Since the second clamping part 230 is arranged on the second side wall 240 of the battery compartment 200, that is, on the length direction side wall of the battery compartment 200, the first direction is the horizontal direction perpendicular to the second side wall 240, that is, the width direction of the battery compartment 200.
[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 11 , the push cooperation part 261 is a plurality of strip-shaped recessed parts arranged in the first direction in sequence to facilitate pushing.
[0074] As shown in Figures 8 to 10As shown, the bottom surface of the battery compartment 200 is formed with a sliding guide 280, which is in sliding guide cooperation with the sliding member 260 to guide the sliding of the sliding member 260, ensure smooth operation, and further ensure smooth and reliable rotation operation of the second clamping part 230.
[0075] Specifically, the sliding guide 280 can be a slide or a chute, which is not specifically limited here. To reduce the height direction space occupation, the sliding member 260 is a horizontal plate with a large area to ensure structural strength.
[0076] For the conversion assembly, in some embodiments of the present application, it is a linkage assembly, as shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, it includes a first linkage 290 and a second linkage 2100, one end of the first linkage 290 is hinged to the sliding member 260, the other end is hinged to one end of the second linkage 2100, the other end of the second linkage 2100 is hinged to the second pivot shaft 232 of the second clamping part 230 (the second pivot shaft 232 is located at the lower part of the second clamping part 230 and is integrally connected with the second clamping part 230), the second linkage 2100 is hinged to the second side wall 240 of the battery compartment 200 through a third pivot shaft 2110 (the third pivot shaft 2110 is fixedly arranged on the second side wall 240 of the battery compartment 200), the first pivot shaft 231, the second pivot shaft 232 and the third pivot shaft 2110 are arranged in parallel and perpendicular to the first direction.
[0077] Then, when the sliding member 260 slides along the first direction, the second clamping part 230 is driven to rotate and disengage from the first clamping part 140 through the transmission of the first linkage 290 and the second linkage 2100.
[0078] The linkage assembly is simple in structure and mechanically driven, without the need for electricity, low in manufacturing cost and low in failure rate.
[0079] In some embodiments of the present application, the same sliding member 260 connects two groups of conversion assemblies, and the two groups of conversion assemblies are respectively connected to two second clamping parts 230 on the opposite second side walls 240, i.e., the two second clamping parts 230 on the opposite second side walls 240 are respectively connected to the same sliding member 260 through a group of conversion assemblies, and the two second clamping parts 230 are synchronously driven to rotate by the same sliding member 260, so as to simplify the structure as much as possible and synchronize the unlocking actions of the multiple second clamping parts 230, so that the battery compartment 200 can be smoothly unlocked.
[0080] Specifically, as shown in Figures 8 to 10As shown, the opposite sides of the sliding member 260 respectively extend outward to form extensions 262, and the extensions 262 on the two sides are respectively connected to the corresponding conversion assemblies. The two sets of conversion assemblies are structurally the same, and only the shape of the first connecting rod 290 is slightly different, so that when the sliding member 260 slides in the first direction, the two sets of conversion assemblies can synchronously drive the second clamping portions 230 on the two sides to be synchronously separated from the corresponding first clamping portions 140.
[0081] For the cooperation between the battery and the battery compartment 200, in some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the inner walls of the two inner side walls adjacent to the battery inlet and outlet 220 of the battery compartment 200, i.e., the inner walls of the second side walls 240, are respectively provided with guide limiting strips 2120; the guide limiting strips 2120 are matched with the sliding grooves on the side walls of the battery.
[0082] Specifically, the battery inlet and outlet 220 is arranged on the side surface of the battery compartment 200, and the battery does not need to be taken in and out from the bottom of the battery compartment 200, but is taken in and out from the side surface of the battery compartment 200. The sliding groove on the side surface of the battery cooperates with the guide limiting strip 2120 to guide the movement of the battery and fix the battery, so as to ensure the smooth movement of the battery when the battery enters or moves out of the inside of the battery compartment 200, and prevent the battery from tilting.
[0083] Further, one end of the guide limiting strip 2120 close to the battery inlet and outlet 220 is a tapered structure, so that the guide limiting strip 2120 is more easily inserted into the sliding groove on the side surface of the battery.
[0084] The bottom surface of the battery compartment 200 is provided with a plurality of pads 2130 to lift the battery, prevent the battery from interfering with the sliding of the sliding member 260, and the guide limiting strip 2120 is also staggered with the conversion assembly and the second clamping portion 230 to prevent interference.
[0085] Although the battery inlet and outlet 220 of the battery compartment 200 exposes one side surface of the battery when the battery is in the battery compartment 200, when the battery compartment 200 and the battery enter the circumferential side wall of the underframe 100, the circumferential side wall of the underframe 100 can completely wrap the side surface of the battery compartment 200 and the battery, as shown in Figure 12 to ensure the safety of the battery in use.
[0086] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 5 to 8 The battery compartment 200 includes an outer cover 2140 made of metal and an internal skeleton structure 2150 to ensure the structural strength and sealing performance of the battery compartment 200 as much as possible. The second clamping portion 230 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the skeleton structure 2150, and the sliding member 260 is slidably arranged on the bottom wall of the skeleton structure 2150.
[0087] Finally, it should be noted that: the above examples are used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not limited to; although the present application is described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still be modified to the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples, or part of the technical features are replaced; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
