Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of new energy vehicle technology, and in particular to a comprehensive energy replenishment station. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, the number of battery swapping stations is growing rapidly. By replacing depleted battery packs with fully charged ones, new energy vehicles can operate continuously. Hydrogen swapping energy packs that can convert hydrogen energy into electricity have also emerged, and corresponding hydrogen swapping stations are appearing one after another. In existing technologies, battery swapping stations and hydrogen swapping stations are usually laid out independently. Battery swapping stations typically include battery swapping robots, battery charging compartments, chargers, and protective enclosures. Hydrogen swapping stations typically include hydrogen swapping robots, hydrogen cylinder module storage racks, hydrogen replenishment devices, and protective enclosures. Because battery swapping stations and hydrogen swapping stations are laid out independently, it leads to a waste of site resources. Furthermore, existing battery swapping robots and hydrogen swapping robots are not interchangeable, resulting in high investment costs, low replenishment efficiency, poor market acceptance, and difficulties in promotion.

[0003] Based on the above problems, there is an urgent need to provide a comprehensive energy replenishment station with a small overall footprint and high energy replenishment efficiency. Only one robot is needed to complete the mixed swapping function of battery packs and hydrogen energy packs, realizing resource compatibility and sharing between battery swapping and hydrogen swapping. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an integrated energy replenishment station that integrates the replenishment resources of electric energy and hydrogen energy into one, thereby reducing the land area occupied, saving social resources, and promoting the popularization of new energy.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A comprehensive refueling station is provided for refueling vehicles, wherein energy packs are detachably installed on the vehicles. The comprehensive refueling station is provided with a driving lane for the vehicles to travel, a storage compartment, and a transport device for transferring energy packs between the driving lane and the storage compartment. The storage compartment includes multiple refueling compartments arranged parallel to the driving lane, and each refueling compartment includes a battery swapping compartment, a hydrogen swapping compartment, and at least one transfer compartment arranged at intervals.

[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the battery swapping compartment is provided with a charging base, and the charging base is provided with a charging interface; the bottom of the hydrogen swapping compartment is provided with a hydrogen refueling base, and the hydrogen refueling base is provided with a hydrogen refueling interface.

The bottom of the battery swapping pack is equipped with a first guide hole, and the bottom of the hydrogen swapping energy pack is equipped with a second guide hole. The recharge compartment is equipped with guide posts respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, the guide post is compatible with both the first guide hole and the second guide hole. The guide post can be matched with the first guide hole to complete the guiding and positioning of the battery pack, and the guide post can be matched with the second guide hole to complete the guiding and positioning of the hydrogen energy pack.

[0010] Furthermore, the center-to-center distance between two adjacent battery swapping compartments is equal to the center-to-center distance between two adjacent hydrogen swapping compartments.

[0011] Furthermore, each of the energy replenishment compartments is equipped with a support frame at its bottom.

[0012] Furthermore, a charging cable is installed in the support frame at the bottom of the battery swapping compartment, and a hydrogen delivery pipeline is installed in the support frame at the bottom of the hydrogen swapping compartment.

[0027] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 2 andFigure 4 and Figure 5 The first embodiment of this utility model provides an integrated refueling station 100 for refueling a vehicle 40. The vehicle 40 is detachably equipped with an energy pack 4, which includes a battery swapping pack 41 and a hydrogen swapping energy pack 42. For example, the vehicle 40 can be a battery swapping truck, on which a battery swapping battery is detachably mounted; in this case, the energy pack 4 is the battery swapping pack 41. The integrated refueling station 100 includes a driving lane 50 for the vehicle 40, a storage compartment 20, and a transport device 30 for transferring the energy pack 4 between the driving lane 50 and the storage compartment 20. The storage compartment 20 includes multiple refueling bays 2 arranged parallel to the driving lane 50 or approximately parallel to the driving direction of the vehicle 40. The refueling bays 2 are used to store the battery swapping pack 41 and the hydrogen swapping energy pack 42. Each refueling bay 2 includes a battery swapping bay 21, a hydrogen swapping bay 22, and at least one transfer bay 23 spaced apart. Preferably, there are multiple battery swapping compartments 21 and hydrogen swapping compartments 22. The battery swapping compartment 21 is used to store the battery swapping pack 41, and the hydrogen swapping compartment 22 is used to store the hydrogen swapping energy pack 42. When any energy pack 41 is not placed in any energy replenishment compartment 2, the empty energy replenishment compartment 2 can be used as the aforementioned transfer position 23. It should be noted that the hydrogen swapping energy pack 42 is not limited to hydrogen fuel cell systems using pure hydrogen. Power generation systems using other hydrogen-based fuels or simple hydrogen storage systems should also fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0029] Furthermore, the battery pack 41 in the battery swapping compartment 21 can be a fully charged battery pack 41, or a battery pack 41 that has been replaced from the vehicle 40 and needs to be charged. Similarly, the hydrogen energy pack 42 in the hydrogen swapping compartment 22 can be a hydrogen energy pack 42 that has been filled with hydrogen, or a hydrogen energy pack 42 that has been replaced from the vehicle 40 and needs to be filled with hydrogen. The term "fully charged" is not limited to being fully charged, and the term "filled with hydrogen" is not limited to being completely filled with hydrogen. For example, when the battery pack 41 has sufficient electrical energy to power the vehicle, a depleted battery pack 41 can be replaced from the vehicle 40. It is worth noting that the hydrogen exchange energy pack 42 is equipped with a hydrogen storage device (not shown) and a hydrogen fuel cell reactor (not shown), which can output electrical energy by consuming hydrogen. In some other embodiments, the hydrogen exchange energy pack 42 may not include a hydrogen fuel cell system, but the hydrogen fuel cell reactor may be independently installed on the vehicle 40. In this case, the hydrogen exchange energy pack 42 only needs to replenish hydrogen to the vehicle 40. That is to say, the hydrogen exchange compartment 22 can also store a replenishment pack that only provides hydrogen-based fuel and does not generate electricity, which will not be elaborated here.

[0030] Preferably, such as Figure 3As shown, in the first embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the battery swapping compartment 21 is provided with a charging base 210, and the charging base 210 is provided with a charging interface 201. The bottom of the hydrogen swapping compartment 22 is provided with a hydrogen refueling base 220, and the hydrogen refueling base 220 is provided with a hydrogen refueling interface 202. Specifically, the battery swapping compartment 21 has a reserved first empty space 231 for use as a transfer position 23, and the hydrogen swapping compartment 22 has a reserved second empty space 232 for use as a transfer position 23. In this case, the transfer position 23 includes the first empty space 231 and the second empty space 232, and charging or hydrogen refueling can also be achieved at the transfer position 23. For example... Figure 6 As shown, in the second embodiment of this utility model, the transfer position 23 may not be equipped with a charging interface 201 or a hydrogen refueling interface 202, and may only be used as a temporary storage space for the energy pack 4. In other embodiments, the charging base 210 and the hydrogen refueling base 220 may also not be equipped with or may only partially be equipped with charging interfaces 201 and hydrogen refueling interfaces 202. For example, after the battery pack 41 or hydrogen energy pack 42 is recharged elsewhere, it may be temporarily placed on the corresponding battery swapping compartment 21 or hydrogen swapping compartment 22 in the refueling compartment 2 for the transport device 30 to use. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the hydrogen refueling base 220 may also be equipped with both a charging interface 201 and a hydrogen refueling interface 202. That is to say, in some embodiments, the hydrogen refueling base 220 may be used not only to refuel the hydrogen energy pack 42, but also to recharge the battery pack 41, or to recharge the battery in the hydrogen energy pack 42 when the hydrogen energy pack 42 also contains a battery.

[0031] To achieve the above technical solution, the handling device 30 includes a track 32 disposed between the driveway 50 and the storage compartment 10, and a battery swapping robot 3 movably mounted on the track 32. The track 32 can be laid on the ground or platform, or it can be suspended in the air; that is, the track 32 can be a ground track or an overhead track, which will not be elaborated here. The battery swapping robot 3 is equipped with a cantilever 31 that can extend above the driveway 50 and above the storage compartment 20. The cantilever 31 is equipped with a lifting device 310, which is used to grab the energy pack 4. The lifting device 310 has the function of being compatible with battery swapping battery packs 41 and hydrogen swapping energy packs 42, so that multiple types of energy packs 4 can be transported using a single handling device 30. Furthermore, the top of the energy pack 4 is provided with a gripping part (not labeled). The gripping part is temporarily fixed by the lifting device 310, which can be used to lift and transport the energy pack 4 that needs to be recharged from the vehicle 40 to the storage compartment 20, or to transport the energy pack 4 from the storage compartment 20 to the vehicle 40 that is missing the energy pack 4, thus completing the replacement recharge.

[0032] Preferably, the battery swapping compartment 21 is provided with multiple battery swapping packs 41, and the hydrogen swapping compartment 22 is provided with multiple hydrogen swapping energy packs 42. The bottom of each battery swapping pack 41 has a first guide hole (not shown), and the bottom of each hydrogen swapping energy pack 41 has a second guide hole (not shown). The refueling compartment 2 is provided with guide posts 203. Preferably, the guide posts 203 can simultaneously match the first guide hole and the second guide hole. Matching the guide post 203 with the first guide hole completes the guiding and positioning of the battery swapping pack 41, and matching the guide post 203 with the second guide hole completes the guiding and positioning of the hydrogen swapping energy pack 42. This means that the first and second guide holes have the same structure, and also means that the vehicle 40 can be equipped with both battery swapping packs 41 and hydrogen swapping energy packs 42. In this scenario, only one transfer station 23 is needed to complete the scheduling, because robot 3 can only work on one energy pack 4 at a time. It only needs to temporarily store one of the battery pack 41 or hydrogen energy pack 42 with the same bottom guide structure that needs to be recharged on the transfer station 23, and take out the corresponding energy pack 4 from the recharge compartment 2 to replace it, while leaving a new empty space. Then, the energy pack 4 that needs to be recharged that is temporarily stored on the transfer station 23 is filled back into the empty space, and the transfer station 23 can be made idle again for scheduling.

[0033] In some other embodiments, the first guide hole on the battery swapping pack 21 and the second guide hole on the hydrogen swapping energy pack 31 may have different structures. In this case, the guide post 203 can be configured to include the two corresponding guide structures. This means that the integrated energy replenishment station 100 conforming to this utility model can replenish energy for different vehicles 40, such as swapping batteries for battery swapping vehicles or swapping hydrogen for hydrogen-powered vehicles according to actual needs. Preferably, the center distance between two adjacent battery swapping compartments 21 is equal to the center distance between two adjacent hydrogen swapping compartments 22. The advantage of this design is that it is more conducive to the battery swapping robot 3 calculating the distance it needs to move on the track 32, optimizing the battery swapping and hydrogen swapping paths, and reducing the energy replenishment time.

[0034] Furthermore, each refueling compartment 2 is equipped with a support frame 24 at its bottom to lift the battery pack 41 or hydrogen energy pack 42 to a predetermined height, reducing the lifting requirements of the hoist 310 and further improving refueling efficiency. When the charging base 210 is equipped with a charging interface 201, a charging cable (not shown) is provided in the support frame 24 at the bottom of the battery swapping compartment 21. When the hydrogen refueling base 220 is equipped with a hydrogen refueling interface 202, a hydrogen delivery pipeline (not shown) is provided in the support frame 24 at the bottom of the hydrogen swapping compartment 22. Preferably, a charging device 11 is provided in the support frame 24 at the bottom of the battery swapping compartment 21, or on the side of the battery swapping compartment 21 away from the driving lane 50. The charging device 11 is connected to the aforementioned charging cable, enabling the battery pack 41 located on the charging base 210 to be charged using the charging device 11. More preferably, the charging device 11 is further provided with a charging gun (not shown), that is, the integrated energy replenishment station 100 conforming to this utility model can not only swap batteries and hydrogen, but also charge external electric vehicles. In some embodiments, the storage compartment 20 can be separated from the integrated energy replenishment station 100 and set up independently, for example, the storage compartment 20 can be set on a mobile delivery vehicle; or the storage compartment 20 can be designed to consist of two parts: a power delivery vehicle and a hydrogen delivery vehicle, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0035] Since the hydrogen exchange compartment 22 needs to allow space for the robot 3 to move on the side closest to the driving lane 50, preferably, the hydrogen exchange compartment 22 is equipped with a hydrogen generator 12 on the side away from the driving lane 50. A booster 121 is also provided on the hydrogen supply pipeline between the hydrogen generator 12 and the hydrogen exchange compartment 22. The booster 121 pressurizes the hydrogen generated in the hydrogen generator 12 and injects it into the hydrogen exchange energy pack 42. In some other embodiments, the booster 121 can also be set inside the hydrogen generator 12, and the compressed hydrogen can be injected into the hydrogen exchange energy pack 42 from the bottom of the hydrogen exchange compartment 22 through the hydrogen supply pipeline to replenish the hydrogen exchange energy pack 42. In some other embodiments, the hydrogen generator 12 can also directly refuel hydrogen-powered vehicles. Only an additional hydrogen refueling interface needs to be set up and the on / off state controlled by a valve is required, which will not be elaborated here.

[0036] In summary, the integrated energy replenishment station 100 conforming to this utility model only requires one site to realize one-stop battery swapping, hydrogen swapping, charging, and hydrogen refueling, saving social resources, reducing investment costs, and contributing to the promotion and popularization of new energy sources. It has significant progressive significance for achieving carbon peaking and carbon neutrality.
