Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of battery swapping station equipment, and more specifically, to a multi-terrain adaptive battery swapping station support. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles, battery swapping stations are expanding from standardized sites to diverse scenarios such as mountainous areas and construction sites. However, existing support structures rely on fixed or simple adjustable designs: fixed supports require pre-buried foundations and are only suitable for flat ground; while simple adjustable supports can be manually adjusted in height, the adjustment range is limited, requiring manual ground leveling or pile reinforcement, resulting in long construction cycles, high costs, and an inability to quickly meet the deployment needs of complex terrains (such as slopes and soft soil foundations).

[0003] This type of support structure has two major drawbacks: First, poor terrain adaptability: In scenarios with steep slopes or soft soil foundations, traditional supports cannot level themselves, which can easily lead to tilting of the battery swapping station or mechanical failure; Second, low adjustment efficiency: Manual adjustment takes several hours, has poor accuracy, and is difficult to meet the rapid deployment needs of complex terrains, while increasing operation and maintenance costs and safety risks. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-terrain adaptive battery swapping station support to solve the problems of poor terrain adaptability and low adjustment efficiency of traditional supports.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a multi-terrain adaptive battery swapping station support is provided, comprising a load-bearing platform. Multiple sets of support components are fixedly connected below the load-bearing platform. Each support component includes a vertical load-bearing column and auxiliary support legs, wherein:

[0006] The auxiliary support leg is provided with a connecting rod that is rotatably connected to the vertical load-bearing column, and a damping rod is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod;

[0007] The other end of the damping rod is fixedly connected to a support rod, and the support rod is rotatably connected to the vertical load-bearing column via a hinge;

[0008] The bottom of the support rod is rotatably connected to the second ground-breaking cone via a universal joint.

[0009] In the above technical solution, the vertical load-bearing column and the auxiliary support legs around it form a stable structure that can cope with the multi-directional load distribution requirements of complex terrains such as slopes and soft soil. In addition, the connecting rod rotates around the column to drive the damping rod to extend and retract, and absorbs the impact force brought by the terrain undulation through its hydraulic damping characteristics. The support rod is rotatably connected to the second ground-breaking cone through a universal joint, which can adaptively adjust the soil entry posture according to the terrain angle, ensuring the horizontal stability of the bearing platform and avoiding support failure caused by local overload.

[0010] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the vertical load-bearing column includes an upper sleeve and a lower sleeve, which are movably connected. The upper sleeve has multiple sets of positioning holes, and the upper sleeve is fixedly connected to the lower sleeve through a fixing pin and positioning holes. A spring is also provided at the connection between the upper sleeve and the lower sleeve.

[0011] In another technical solution, the vertical load-bearing column can be height-adjusted according to actual needs through fixing pins and positioning holes to adapt to different terrains. The spring can not only buffer the impact from the ground and compensate for micro-vibrations, but also eliminate the sleeve gap through pre-tightening force to prevent abnormal noise caused by loosening of the fixing pin and positioning hole.

[0012] Furthermore, a turntable is fixedly connected above the upper sleeve, and a flange is rotatably connected above the turntable. The turntable allows the support assembly to be finely adjusted in the horizontal direction, achieving the ideal state through rotational adjustment.

[0013] In addition, the lower sleeve is rotatably connected to the auxiliary support leg, and a first soil-breaking cone is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower sleeve. The first soil-breaking cone forms a central anchor point, which, together with the second soil-breaking cone of the auxiliary support leg, forms a double anchoring design with a central deep anchor and a peripheral shallow anchor. The central anchor point mainly resists the pulling force in the vertical direction, while the peripheral anchor points increase the contact area with the soil and enhance the surface grip, mainly resisting the lateral force. The peripheral anchor points can disperse the stress concentration of the central anchor point, effectively increasing the anti-overturning ability.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] In this multi-terrain adaptive battery swapping station support system, the vertical load-bearing column and the surrounding auxiliary support legs form a stable structure. The auxiliary support legs are rotatably connected to the vertical load-bearing column via connecting rods and are equipped with hydraulic damping rods to absorb the impact force generated by terrain undulations in real time. In addition, combined with the universal joint at the bottom of the support rod and the second ground-breaking cone, the support legs can automatically adjust their soil-entry posture according to the terrain angle, ensuring the horizontal stability of the bearing platform and reducing structural fatigue through flexible buffering. This effectively disperses multi-directional loads from complex terrains such as slopes and soft soil, avoiding support failure caused by single-point overload. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 As shown, the purpose of this embodiment is to provide a multi-terrain adaptive battery swapping station support, comprising a load-bearing platform 1 and multiple sets of support components 2. The load-bearing platform 1 is welded from high-strength steel plates, and its surface is provided with an array of bolt holes that connect with the main body of the battery swapping station. Multiple sets of symmetrically distributed support components 2 are uniformly welded to the bottom of the platform. The spacing between each set is optimized according to the load distribution characteristics of the battery swapping station to ensure that the load is uniformly transferred to the ground through the platform.

[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the vertical load-bearing column 21 of the support component 2 adopts a double-layer sleeve structure, including a lower sleeve 211 and an upper sleeve 212. A conical first soil-breaking cone 213 is welded to the bottom of the lower sleeve 211, and spiral reinforcing ribs are set on the surface of the cone to improve soil penetration stability. The upper sleeve 212 and the lower sleeve 211 achieve telescopic adjustment through sliding fit. The side wall of the sleeve has evenly distributed positioning holes 216, and the height is locked by fixing pins 217. A ring spring 218 is installed in the sleeve gap. The preload of the spring 218 is reasonably configured to effectively absorb equipment vibration and eliminate metal contact noise.

[0026] The top of the upper sleeve 212 is connected to the flange 215 via a turntable 214. The turntable 214 integrates a thrust bearing, enabling the support assembly 2 to have a horizontal rotation fine-tuning function. When the battery swapping station is deployed on sloping ground, the operator can rotate the turntable 214 to adjust the position of the auxiliary support legs 22, and combine this with the column height adjustment to achieve leveling, ensuring that the load-bearing platform 1 always remains horizontal. Multiple sets of auxiliary support legs 22 are arranged around the central axis of the vertical load-bearing column 21, with each set distributed in an equally divided circle, forming a triangular anti-overturning structure.

[0027] The auxiliary support leg 22 includes a connecting rod 222 hinged to the lower sleeve 211, a damping rod 223, and a segmented support rod 221. The connecting rod 222 can swing around the axis of the column. The damping rod 223 adopts a hydraulic damping structure. Its two ends are connected to the connecting rod 222 and the support rod 221 respectively through connectors. The support rod 221 is rotatably connected to the lower sleeve 211 through a hinge 226, which can effectively absorb the impact load caused by terrain changes.

[0028] The bottom of the support rod 221 is connected to the second breaking cone 225 via a universal joint 224. The universal joint 224 allows the second breaking cone 225 to adaptively adjust its entry angle according to the ground morphology, ensuring that the cone tip always cuts into the soil layer in the optimal posture. The second breaking cone 225 is smaller than the first breaking cone 213, forming a stepped breaking structure that can penetrate layers of alternating soft and hard strata under complex geological conditions. All breaking cones are covered with a wear-resistant hardened layer, and guide grooves are opened inside the cones to reduce entry resistance. After the auxiliary support leg 22 is deployed, the support rod 221 is fixed in length through a built-in locking mechanism, while the damping rod 223 maintains continuous tension, making the entire support system form a spatial truss structure, improving lateral shear resistance.

[0029] Working principle: During deployment, the bearing platform 1 is first positioned in the target area. By adjusting the relative extension and retraction of the lower sleeve 211 and upper sleeve 212 of the vertical load-bearing column 21 in each support component 2, the column height is locked using the fixing pin 217. The position of the auxiliary support leg 22 is adjusted by rotating the turntable 214. Then, the auxiliary support leg 22 is extended, and the connecting rod 222 is extended outward to rotate around the hinge point of the vertical load-bearing column 21 to a preset angle, so that it contacts the ground. The second ground-breaking cone 225 is rotated through the universal joint 224, so that its tip automatically adjusts the direction of entry into the soil according to the terrain. After the basic support is completed, all hinge points and extension mechanisms are locked to form a spatial three-dimensional support network composed of the vertical load-bearing column 21 and the multi-directional auxiliary support leg 22, ensuring the stable bearing of the battery swapping station.

[0030] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
