Detailed Implementation
[0022] To better understand the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] Combination Figure 1As shown, the present invention discloses a battery-swapping eight-wheel container transport vehicle, comprising a frame 1, a battery-swapping battery pack 2, and an electrical cabinet 3 located at the bottom of the frame 1. Guide rail mechanisms 5 for mounting the battery-swapping battery pack 2 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the frame 1; an eight-wheel drive system 4 is arranged on the frame 1 to ensure stable driving under various road conditions. The battery-swapping battery pack is located at the bottom of the frame 1, and circular pins 21 that roll along the guide rail mechanisms 5 are provided on both sides of the battery-swapping battery pack 2; the battery-swapping battery pack 2 achieves rapid battery swapping operation through the circular pins 21 and the guide rail mechanisms 5. The electrical cabinet 3 is located near the battery-swapping battery pack 2 on the frame 1, and the electrical cabinet 3 houses a battery management system connected to the battery-swapping battery pack 2.
[0024] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the frame 1 serves as the basic support structure for the entire battery-swapping eight-wheel container transport vehicle. The frame 1 is made of high-strength steel and has reinforcing ribs on both sides; this frame 1 possesses excellent load-bearing capacity and fatigue resistance. The eight-wheel drive system 4 is mounted at the bottom of the frame 1 (see...). Figure 2 As shown), this ensures the vehicle maintains stable driving on various terrains. The eight-wheel drive system 4 adopts a symmetrical layout with four drive wheels on each side. Each drive wheel uses an independent suspension design, and eight-wheel drive is achieved through the drive axle 41 and driven axle 42. The drive axle 41 is located in the center of the bottom of the frame 1 and is the power transmission component of the vehicle. The drive axle 41 adopts advanced differential lock technology, which can ensure that the vehicle maintains stable driving force under various complex road conditions.
[0025] Combination Figure 4 As shown, the guide rail mechanisms 5 on both sides of the frame 1 enable quick replacement of the battery pack 2 and support the battery pack 2. The guide rail mechanism 5 includes guide rail supports 51 symmetrically arranged on the frame 1 and guide rails 52 arranged on the guide rail supports 51. The guide rails are mainly used for the movement and positioning of the battery pack. The guide rail supports 51 and the guide rails 52 are connected by vibration isolators 53, which mainly serve to reduce vibration.
[0026] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the battery swapping pack 2 is a detachable and replaceable battery pack located in the middle of the chassis frame 1. The battery swapping pack 2 adopts a standardized design, enabling quick docking with the electrical cabinet 3 and facilitating battery swapping operations, significantly shortening vehicle charging time and reducing battery maintenance costs. A pulley is mounted on the circular pin 21 of the battery swapping pack 2, allowing the battery swapping pack 2 to roll along the guide rail mechanism 5 via the pulley. The height of the guide rail is greater than the diameter of the circular pin 21, facilitating the rolling of the circular pin 21 and enabling rapid replacement of the battery swapping pack 2.
[0027] Combination Figure 1As shown, the electrical cabinet 3 is located slightly to the left below the frame 1, housing key components such as the battery management system and motor controller. The battery management system monitors the battery status in real time, ensuring safe and reliable battery operation. The motor controller is primarily used to control the eight-wheel drive system 4. The electrical cabinet 3 features a waterproof and dustproof design, extending its service life and ensuring normal operation in various harsh environments.
[0028] After starting, the drive axle of this utility model's battery-swapping eight-wheel container transport vehicle transmits power to the eight-wheel drive system through transmission technology, ensuring stable vehicle operation. When the battery needs to be replaced, the operator removes the battery-swapping battery pack from the frame and quickly replaces it with a new battery-swapping battery pack. The whole process is simple and quick. At the same time, the battery management system in the electrical cabinet can monitor the battery status in real time, ensuring that the battery works safely and reliably.
[0029] Combination Figure 1 As shown, after the battery-swapping eight-wheeled container truck of this utility model reaches the battery swapping station, the lifting device of the battery swapping platform lifts the old battery-swapping battery pack from the guide rail 52 of the guide rail mechanism 5. After the old battery-swapping battery pack is pushed out of the battery installation position along the guide rail, the new battery-swapping battery pack is pushed into the battery installation position along the guide rail. After ensuring that the battery-swapping battery packs are aligned, the battery-swapping battery packs are fixed. After the battery swapping is completed, the battery-swapping eight-wheeled container truck can continue to drive.
[0030] In summary, the battery-swapping eight-wheel container transport vehicle of this utility model achieves rapid battery swapping by adopting a battery-swapping battery pack, thereby improving transportation efficiency. At the same time, the design of the eight-wheel drive system enhances the vehicle's stability and load-bearing capacity, making it suitable for various complex road conditions.
