Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electric bicycle battery charging and swapping technology, and in particular to an electric bicycle battery swapping cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the popularization of two-wheeled electric bicycles, while greatly facilitating people's daily lives, fires caused by charging electric bicycles have also caused great harm to people's production and life due to the characteristics of the batteries themselves, and reports of casualties have also occurred from time to time. In order to provide residents with a safe and convenient battery charging service, a large number of operators engaged in charging and battery swapping services have emerged.

[0003] In existing technology, common electric bicycle battery swapping cabinets mainly consist of a cabinet body containing several battery compartments. Each battery compartment has a hinged door, connected to the compartment via an electronic lock. A display screen is fixedly mounted on the cabinet body, and a QR code is affixed to the surface. When a user needs to access a battery, they can scan the QR code with their mobile phone, input information through the phone's human-machine interface, and the control module inside the cabinet door will open the door of one of the battery compartments, allowing the user to retrieve the battery. Each battery compartment contains a charging dock for connecting to the battery. After removing the battery from the electric bicycle, the user can install it in the battery compartment, connecting it to the charging dock. The cabinet also contains an energy storage module for storing electrical energy. This module can be connected to mains power or a mobile energy storage station via electrical cables. The energy storage module is also electrically connected to the charging docks in each battery compartment, allowing it to charge the battery packs within each compartment.

[0004] To dissipate the heat generated during the charging and discharging of the battery pack, ventilation holes are often provided in the battery compartment and cabinet to meet the heat dissipation requirements of the battery swapping cabinet. However, common electric bicycle battery swapping cabinets are often installed outdoors, where the air often contains a lot of dust. If too much dust accumulates, it can easily lead to abnormal heat dissipation in the battery swapping cabinet, failing to provide a good temperature environment for the battery pack inside. Regular dust cleaning and maintenance is costly and needs improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] To improve the convenience of maintenance personnel in cleaning and maintaining the battery swapping cabinet and to ensure the heat dissipation performance of the battery swapping cabinet, this application provides an electric bicycle battery swapping cabinet.

[0006] The electric bicycle battery swapping cabinet provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An electric bicycle battery swapping cabinet includes a cabinet body, a mounting bracket fixedly installed inside the cabinet body, a battery compartment for placing a battery pack detachably installed on the mounting bracket, and a heat dissipation structure provided on the battery compartment;

[0008] Two cabinet doors are hinged to the cabinet body. The two cabinet doors are located on the side of the battery compartment away from the door. Each of the two cabinet doors has several ventilation holes. A rainproof mechanism is installed on the cabinet body.

[0009] The cabinet is equipped with a dust detection module for detecting dust accumulation on the top of the battery compartment. The signal output terminal of the dust detection module is connected to the signal input terminal of the display on the cabinet.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, during the use of the battery cabinet, the heat generated during the charging and discharging of the battery pack can be discharged through the heat dissipation structure on the battery compartment, preventing heat from accumulating inside the battery compartment. The heat discharged into the cabinet can be expelled through the ventilation holes on the two cabinet doors, ensuring the heat dissipation requirements of the battery swapping cabinet. The dust accumulation detection module detects the dust accumulation on the top of the battery compartment at set time intervals. When the amount of dust accumulation on the top of the battery compartment reaches the set value, an early warning can be issued through the display on the cabinet. Maintenance personnel can determine whether the battery swapping cabinet needs to be cleaned based on the amount of dust accumulation displayed on the display, so as to ensure the heat dissipation performance of the cabinet.

[0011] Preferably, the mounting bracket includes several bracket units, each bracket unit including two mounting plates, the battery compartment is fixedly mounted on the top of the two mounting plates, and the two ends of the two mounting plates are respectively fixedly connected to the inner walls of the cabinet.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the battery compartment can be fixed inside the cabinet using the mounting plate.

[0013] Preferably, the battery compartment includes a compartment body and a cover plate, the top of the compartment body is open, and the cover plate covers and is fixedly installed on the top of the compartment body;

[0014] The chamber includes a bottom plate and two oppositely arranged side plates, and the heat dissipation structure includes heat dissipation holes formed on the bottom plate and the two side plates.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the heat dissipation holes can be set to facilitate the heat dissipation from the battery compartment, preventing heat from accumulating inside the battery compartment.

[0016] Preferably, the inner walls of the bottom plate and the two side plates are fixedly connected with abutting plates, and the abutting plates are provided with an inclined slope at the end near the door, the inclined slope being inclined downwards in the direction near the door.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the bottom and sides of the battery pack can be pressed together by the clamping plate, which improves the stability of the battery pack inside the battery compartment. At the same time, since the end of the clamping plate is provided with an inclined slope, it makes it easier and more convenient for users to install the battery pack in the battery compartment.

[0018] Preferably, the top of each cover plate is provided with a through-hole sensing groove, and the dust accumulation detection module includes an ultrasonic intensity sensor. The ultrasonic intensity sensor includes a relatively small number of transmitting and receiving ends. The transmitting and receiving ends are respectively fixed on two opposite inner side walls of the cabinet, and the transmitting and receiving ends are located on both sides of any sensing groove.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the ultrasonic intensity sensor, when the amount of dust accumulated in the sensing groove reaches a certain height, the ultrasonic waves emitted by the transmitter are received by the receiver. The intensity of the ultrasonic waves received by the receiver is reduced due to dust obstruction, and the ultrasonic intensity value output by the ultrasonic intensity sensor decreases. When the ultrasonic intensity value is lower than the set threshold, a warning message is displayed on the screen.

[0020] Preferably, the ventilation holes are arranged in a linear array on the cabinet door, and the cabinet body is integrally formed with a plurality of shielding edges, which respectively cover the surface of the plurality of ventilation holes, and the shielding edges are all inclined downward.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the downward-sloping shielding edge can ensure air circulation inside and outside the cabinet while reducing the entry of rainwater, dust, and other contaminants from outside the cabinet into the cabinet.

[0022] Preferably, the top of the cabinet is fixedly connected to two pillars, and the rain shielding mechanism includes a rain shield fixedly installed on the top of the two pillars. The rain shield covers the top of the cabinet and is inclined downwards in the direction away from the door.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the rain shield can protect the cabinet from rain, reducing the occurrence of rainwater dripping onto the cabinet on rainy days. At the same time, due to the inclined design of the rain shield, the rainwater collected at the top of the rain shield can be guided away.

[0024] In summary, the electric bicycle battery swapping cabinet of this application has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0025] 1. During the use of the battery cabinet, the heat generated during the charging and discharging of the battery pack can be discharged through the heat dissipation structure on the battery compartment, preventing heat from accumulating in the battery compartment. The heat discharged into the cabinet can be discharged through the ventilation holes on the two cabinet doors, which can ensure the heat dissipation requirements of the battery swapping cabinet.

[0026] 2. The dust accumulation detection module detects the dust accumulation on the top of the battery compartment at set time intervals. When the amount of dust accumulation on the top of the battery compartment reaches the set value, an early warning will be issued through the display on the cabinet. Maintenance personnel can determine whether the battery swapping cabinet needs to be cleaned based on the amount of dust accumulation displayed on the display to ensure the heat dissipation performance of the cabinet.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The following combination Figures 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0033] Example

[0034] This application discloses an electric bicycle battery swapping cabinet. (See also...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 It mainly includes a cabinet 1, a mounting bracket is fixedly installed inside the cabinet 1, and a battery compartment 2 for placing a battery pack is detachably installed on the mounting bracket. An opening 26 for exposing the battery compartment 2 is opened through the front side of the cabinet 1. A heat dissipation structure is provided on the battery compartment 2.

[0035] Two cabinet doors 3 are hinged to the back of the cabinet 1. The two cabinet doors 3 are located on the side of the battery compartment 2 away from the door 26. Both cabinet doors 3 are provided with several ventilation holes 31. A rain shielding mechanism is installed on the cabinet 1. A dust accumulation detection module for detecting dust accumulation on the top of the battery compartment 2 is installed inside the cabinet 1. The signal output terminal of the dust accumulation detection module is connected to the signal input terminal of the display 13 on the cabinet 1.

[0036] There are a total of 8 battery compartments 2, which are arranged in an array of 4 rows and 2 columns inside the cabinet 1. Each battery compartment 2 has an integrated cabinet door number 3 on its door 26 to facilitate the user's location of the battery compartment 2.

[0037] During the use of the battery cabinet, the heat generated during the charging and discharging of the battery pack can be discharged through the heat dissipation structure on the battery compartment 2, preventing heat from accumulating inside the battery compartment 2. The heat discharged into the cabinet 1 can be discharged from the cabinet 1 through the vents 31 on the two cabinet doors 3, which can ensure the heat dissipation requirements of the battery swapping cabinet. The dust accumulation detection module detects the dust accumulation on the top of the battery compartment 2 at set time intervals. When the amount of dust accumulation on the top of the battery compartment 2 reaches the set value, an early warning can be issued through the display 13 on the cabinet 1. Maintenance personnel can judge whether the battery swapping cabinet needs to be cleaned based on the amount of dust accumulation displayed on the display 13, so as to ensure the heat dissipation performance of the cabinet 1.

[0038] The mounting bracket includes several bracket units, each of which includes two mounting plates 4. The battery compartment 2 is fixedly mounted on the top of the two mounting plates 4, and the two ends of the two mounting plates 4 are respectively fixedly connected to the inner walls of the cabinet 1. The mounting plates 4 are used to fix the battery compartment 2 inside the cabinet 1.

[0039] The mounting plate 4 has integrally bent ends with connecting parts, which are installed on the inner side wall of the cabinet 1 by bolts and nuts. An L-shaped connector is fixedly connected to the side wall of the battery compartment 2, and the two ends of the L-shaped connector are bolted to the mounting plate 4 and the side wall of the battery compartment 2, respectively.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 The battery compartment 2 includes a compartment body and a cover plate 22. The top of the compartment body is open, and the cover plate 22 covers and is fixedly installed on the top of the compartment body. The compartment body includes a bottom plate and two oppositely arranged side plates 21. The heat dissipation structure includes heat dissipation holes 23 opened on the bottom plate and the two side plates 21.

[0041] The heat dissipation holes 23 facilitate the dissipation of heat from the battery compartment 2, preventing heat from accumulating inside the battery compartment 2.

[0042] Reference Figure 3 The bottom plate and the inner walls of the two side plates 21 are all fixedly connected with abutting plates 24 along the depth direction of the battery compartment 2. The abutting plates 24 are provided with an inclined slope at the end near the compartment door 26. The inclined slope is inclined downward along the direction near the compartment door 26.

[0043] The clamping plate 24 can clamp the bottom and sides of the battery pack, improving the stability of the battery pack inside the battery compartment 2. At the same time, since the end of the clamping plate 24 is provided with an inclined slope, it can make it easier and more convenient for users to install the battery pack in the battery compartment 2.

[0044] Reference Figure 3 The top of the cover plate 22 is provided with a sensing groove 25 extending through the width of the battery compartment 2. The dust accumulation detection module includes an ultrasonic intensity sensor, which includes a relatively small number of transmitters 5 and receivers 6. It should be noted that the transmitters 5 and receivers 6 are respectively fixed on two opposite inner side walls of the cabinet 1, and the transmitters 5 and receivers 6 are located on both sides of any sensing groove 25.

[0045] The signal output terminal of the ultrasonic intensity sensor is connected to a microcontroller, which is integrated into the control box inside the cabinet 1. The signal input terminal of the microcontroller is connected to the signal output terminal of the receiver 6, and the signal output terminal of the microcontroller is connected to the display 13. The microcontroller can compare the ultrasonic signal intensity values ​​and determine whether the amount of dust accumulation in the sensing groove 25 has reached the set threshold. When the ultrasonic intensity is lower than the set value, the microcontroller determines that the dust accumulation in the sensing groove 25 is blocking the transmitter 5 and the receiver 6, and can determine that the amount of dust accumulation on the top of the battery compartment 2 is too much. It then controls the display 13 to issue a warning to remind maintenance personnel to clean the dust.

[0046] In some other embodiments, the data output by the microcontroller can be connected to the cloud platform via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi modules. Managers can then quickly locate the battery swapping cabinets that need cleaning through the cloud platform, improving the convenience of managing the battery swapping cabinets.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 Ventilation holes 31 are arranged in a linear array on the cabinet door 3. Several shielding edges 32 are integrally formed on the cabinet body 1. The shielding edges 32 cover the surface of the ventilation holes 31 respectively, and the shielding edges 32 are all inclined downward.

[0048] By using the downward-sloping shielding edge 32, air circulation between the inside and outside of the cabinet 1 can be ensured, while reducing the occurrence of rainwater, dust, etc. from outside the cabinet 1 entering the interior of the cabinet 1.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top of the cabinet 1 is fixedly connected to two pillars 11. The rain shielding mechanism includes a rain shield 12 fixedly installed on the top of the two pillars 11. The rain shield 12 shields the top of the cabinet 1 and is inclined downward in the direction away from the door 26.

[0050] The rain shield 12 can be used to shield the cabinet 1, reducing the occurrence of rainwater dripping onto the cabinet 1 on rainy days. At the same time, due to the inclined setting of the rain shield 12, the rainwater collected at the top of the rain shield 12 can be guided.

[0051] The implementation principle of an electric bicycle battery swapping cabinet according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: During the use of the battery cabinet, the heat generated during the charging and discharging of the battery pack can be discharged through the heat dissipation structure on the battery compartment 2, preventing heat from accumulating in the battery compartment 2. The heat discharged into the cabinet 1 can be discharged from the cabinet 1 through the ventilation holes 31 on the two cabinet doors 3, which can ensure the heat dissipation requirements of the battery swapping cabinet. The dust accumulation detection module detects the dust accumulation on the top of the battery compartment 2 at set time intervals. When the amount of dust accumulation on the top of the battery compartment 2 reaches the set value, an early warning can be given through the display 13 on the cabinet 1. Maintenance personnel can judge whether the battery swapping cabinet needs to be cleaned based on the amount of dust accumulation displayed on the display 13, so as to ensure the heat dissipation performance of the cabinet 1.

[0052] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
