[0002] Electric vehicles are widely used in daily life. The power system of electric vehicles usually adopts a single power supply architecture, that is, the high-voltage power battery is used as the only power source to supply power to all systems of the vehicle. Generally, there is no backup power source. During use, the vehicle often breaks down due to insufficient power, requiring tow truck assistance, which consumes a lot of manpower, material resources, financial resources and time. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an electric vehicle power system with a backup power supply. When the vehicle breaks down, it can be directly switched to the backup power supply by manual operation so that the vehicle can be restarted and a charging station can be found smoothly without the need to contact a tow truck, thus saving manpower, material resources, financial resources and time.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] An electric vehicle power system with a backup power source includes a main power source and a backup power source. The main power source's power battery 2 has a first power input terminal 15 and a first power output terminal 3, and the backup power source's backup power battery 10 has a second power input terminal 13 and a second power output terminal 8. The first power input terminal 15 and the second power input terminal 13 are connected to a charging terminal 14 in parallel. The positive terminals of the first power output terminal 3 and the second power output terminal 8 are connected to a drive motor 5. The drive motor 5 is connected to a rotary switch 6, and the rotary switch 6 is installed in the vehicle's driver's cab.
[0006] The rotary switch 6 is provided with a normal contact point 4 and an emergency contact point 7. The normal contact point 4 is connected to the negative terminal of the first power output terminal 3 of the power battery 2, and the emergency contact point 7 is connected to the negative terminal of the second power output terminal 8 of the backup power battery 10. The rotary switch 6, the power battery 2, the backup power battery 10 and the drive motor 5 form a selection circuit.
[0007] The main power supply mechanism includes a first explosion-proof box 1, which is mounted on the vehicle frame 16. The first explosion-proof box 1 contains a power battery 2, which is mounted on a first shock-absorbing base and fixed to the bottom of the inner wall of the first explosion-proof box 1.
[0008] The first shock-absorbing base consists of a first shock-absorbing damper 18 and a first insulating plate 17. The bottom of the first shock-absorbing damper 18 is fixed to the bottom of the inner wall of the first explosion-proof box 1, and the top of the first shock-absorbing damper 18 is connected to the first insulating plate 17. The power battery 2 is installed on the top of the first insulating plate 17.
[0009] The backup power mechanism includes a second explosion-proof box 9, which is mounted on the vehicle frame 16. The second explosion-proof box 9 contains a backup power battery 10, which is mounted on a second shock-absorbing base and fixed to the bottom of the inner wall of the second explosion-proof box 9.
[0010] The second shock-absorbing base consists of a second shock absorber 12 and a second insulating plate 11. The bottom of the second shock absorber 12 is fixed to the bottom of the inner wall of the second explosion-proof box 9, and the top of the second shock absorber 12 is connected to the second insulating plate 11. A spare power battery 10 is installed on the top of the second insulating plate 11.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: when the vehicle faces a power outage and breakdown, the main power mechanism can be switched to the backup power mechanism to supply power to the drive motor directly through the knob switch in the driver's cab, so that the vehicle can get out of trouble; the power battery 2 and the backup power battery 10 can be charged at the same time, and the two can be used separately when the vehicle is running without affecting each other; the use of the shock-absorbing base can reduce the impact of vibration generated by the vehicle driving on the power battery, and improve safety and stability.
