[0035] It should be noted that the features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0036] At present, in order to improve the working efficiency of the forklift, the battery replacement mode can be used, but the existing battery replacement station is mostly single charging mode, and the charging and replacing efficiency is low, so it cannot meet the working efficiency requirement of the forklift.

[0037] Based on the above reasons, please refer to Figures 1-6 The embodiment provides a multi-station battery replacement station 100, which is used for simultaneously charging a plurality of batteries 200 of electric forklifts, so that the batteries can be quickly replaced to meet the energy supply efficiency of the electric forklifts, and the working efficiency of the electric forklifts is improved. Specifically, the multi-station battery replacement station 100 comprises a main body 110, a charging box 120, a charging control unit 130 and a charging unit 140;

[0038] The main body 110 is provided with a charging table 111 and a containing cavity 112; the charging table 111 is provided with a plurality of charging stations, and each charging station is provided with a charging connector 113; the charging control unit 130 is installed in the containing cavity 112;

[0039] The charging box 120 is connected to one side of the main body 110 and protrudes from the charging table 111, and the charging unit 140 is installed in the charging box 120;

[0040] The charging unit 140 and the plurality of charging connectors 113 are electrically connected with the charging control unit 130.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1-6 The working principle of the multi-station battery replacement station 100 is:

[0042] The multi-station battery replacement station 100 comprises a main body 110, a charging box 120, a charging control unit 130 and a charging unit 140; the main body 110 is provided with a charging table 111 and a containing cavity 112; the charging table 111 is provided with a plurality of charging stations, and each charging station is provided with a charging connector 113; thus, when charging a plurality of batteries 200, the batteries 200 are put into the charging stations one by one and are connected with the charging connectors 113 on the charging stations; it should be noted that the embodiment is described by taking a three-charging station arrangement mode with a charging power of 3kw as an example;

[0043] And the charging control unit 130 is installed in the accommodating cavity 112; the charging box 120 is connected to one side of the main body 110 and protrudes from the charging table 111, and the charging unit 140 is installed in the charging box 120; wherein the charging unit 140 and the plurality of charging connectors 113 are electrically connected with the charging control unit 130; therefore, through such a setting mode, the charging control unit 130 can be electrically connected with each charging connector 113 and the charging unit 140, so as to charge the battery 200 in the connected state on each charging station according to the demand; here, it should be noted that the charging control unit 130 adopts the charging control structure in the prior art, and its purpose is to control the charging unit 140 in combination with the state of the battery 200, so as to improve the energy supplement efficiency and safety;

[0044] And by adopting the above structure setting mode, the charging unit 140 and the charging control unit 130 are respectively arranged in the charging box 120 and the accommodating cavity 112, and then they are relatively installed in different spaces, so as to avoid the heat generated by the charging unit 140 during the charging process from being transferred to the charging control unit 130 or the charging table 111, and at the same time, since the charging unit 140 is independently arranged in the charging box 120, it is convenient to dissipate heat, so as to improve the heat dissipation efficiency and avoid the heat generated by the operation of the charging unit 140 from affecting the charging controller or the battery 200 on the charging table 111;

[0045] In summary, the multi-station battery swap station 100 can simultaneously charge multiple batteries 200, thereby improving the battery swap efficiency of the battery 200, and further meeting the use demand of the electric forklift, and its overall structure is simple, and by independently arranging the charging unit 140 and the charging control unit 130, the heat dissipation efficiency can be improved, and the energy supplement efficiency and safety can be improved.

[0046] Further, please refer to Figures 1-6 In order to facilitate the staff to know the energy supplement state of the battery 200 on each charging station in time, therefore, a plurality of state indication lamps 150 are arranged on the top of the charging box 120, and the plurality of state indication lamps 150 are electrically connected with the charging control unit 130, so that each state indication lamp 150 is used to display the working state of one charging station, and since its installation position is relatively located on the top of the charging box 120, it is convenient for the staff to observe.

[0047] When a plurality of charging stations are arranged, the embodiment adopts the mode that the plurality of charging stations are arranged along the length direction of the charging box 120, so as to optimize the layout and increase the space utilization rate of the charging table 111 and reduce the overall structure volume.

[0048] And on the basis of the above arrangement of multiple charging stations, in order to protect the battery 200 on the charging table 111, therefore, along the length direction of the charging box 120, both sides of the charging table 111 are provided with a protection baffle 114 protruding from the charging table 111.

[0049] In order to improve the positioning efficiency and charging stability when the battery 200 to be charged is docked to the charging station, therefore, each charging station is provided with multiple positioning members 115, which are arranged along the profile of the charging station at intervals, and the positioning members 115 are used to cooperate with the positioning holes of the battery 200 located in the charging station.

[0050] In the charging process, the charging unit 140 will generate heat, therefore, in order to improve the charging efficiency of the charging unit 140 in the charging box 120, therefore, the side of the charging box 120 away from the main body 110 is configured with a heat dissipation mesh plate. And along the length direction of the multiple charging boxes 120, both sides of the charging box 120 are provided with heat dissipation holes.

[0051] Further, please refer to Figures 1-6 In order to improve the charging efficiency of the battery 200, especially in low temperature environment, therefore, the accommodation cavity 112 is configured with a heating unit, which is used to heat at least one or more charging stations in the charging table 111, in this way, to assist the battery 200 to reach a suitable charging temperature, to improve the energy supplement efficiency of the battery 200.

[0052] From the foregoing, it can be seen that the embodiment adopts three charging stations, and the charging power of 3kw is taken as an example for illustration, and the charging efficiency can be improved by adjusting or replacing the charging unit 140 with different power, thereby improving the use range and reducing the use cost. At the same time, in order to facilitate maintenance, therefore, the charging unit 140 includes multiple charging machines 141, each charging connector 113 corresponds to a charging machine 141; the charging box 120 is configured with a mounting rack 160, and the multiple charging machines 141 are connected to the mounting rack 160. In this way, by means of detachably connecting the charging machine 141 to the mounting rack 160, it is convenient to maintain the charging machine 141, and it is also convenient to replace different charging machines 141 according to the needs, so as to meet more use requirements.

[0053] When the mounting rack 160 is configured, the mounting rack 160 comprises two parallel and spaced mounting beams 161, and the mounting beams 161 extend along the length direction of the charging box 120; the mounting beams 161 are provided with a plurality of mounting holes 162 which are spaced along the extending direction of the mounting beams 161 and are used for mounting the fixing members of the charging units 140. Thus, when the charging machines 141 are configured, due to the mounting beams 161 of the mounting rack 160 being provided with the plurality of mounting holes 162, the configuration mode of the plurality of mounting holes 162 can adapt to the mounting requirements of the charging machines 141 of different specifications and models, so that the use range thereof can be expanded.

[0054] It should be noted that, in the case that the charging machines 141 are replaced by different models, if the charging control unit 130 in the accommodating cavity 112 is not adapted and the charging connector 113 is not adapted, the charging control unit 130 and the charging connector 113 need to be replaced synchronously.

[0055] The above is only a specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, and all the changes or replacements should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
