[0025] The receiving component 10 is detachably electrically connected to the high-voltage power grid and electrically connected to the high-voltage distribution cabinet 11. It receives the grid voltage provided by the high-voltage power grid and transmits the grid voltage to the high-voltage distribution cabinet 11. The high-voltage distribution cabinet 11 is electrically connected to the electric drive system 2 and the high-voltage distribution box 12. It steps down the grid voltage and distributes it to the electric drive system 2 and the high-voltage distribution box 12. The high-voltage distribution box 12 is electrically connected to the power battery pack 13. It receives the first grid voltage distributed by the high-voltage distribution cabinet 11, outputs a charging voltage to the power battery pack 13, and also outputs the battery voltage from the power battery pack 13 to the electric drive system 2 through the high-voltage distribution cabinet 11. Specifically, in one embodiment, the high-voltage power grid is a high-voltage DC power grid. The DC / DC step-down circuit in the high-voltage distribution cabinet 11 steps down the grid voltage provided by the high-voltage power grid and distributes it to the electric drive system 2 and the high-voltage distribution box 12.
[0026] In one embodiment, the high-voltage distribution cabinet 11 is also used to receive the regenerative braking energy output by the electric drive system 2, and transmit the received regenerative braking energy to the power battery pack 13 through the high-voltage distribution box 12 to charge the power battery pack 13, or transmit the received regenerative braking energy to the high-voltage power grid through the power receiving component 10, or store the regenerative braking energy to improve energy utilization.
[0027] In one embodiment, the power receiving component 10 includes a pantograph and a first switching assembly. The pantograph is electrically connected to a high-voltage power grid. The first switching assembly is located in the pantograph's energy recovery circuit and is used to disconnect or connect the pantograph's energy recovery circuit. When connected, it transmits the received braking and regenerative braking energy to the high-voltage power grid, thereby supplying power to other electrical equipment connected to the high-voltage power grid.
[0028] In one embodiment, the high-voltage distribution cabinet 11 includes a contactor for identifying whether the energized component 10 is electrically connected to the high-voltage power grid. Specifically, in one embodiment, the contactor may be connected to a vehicle controller to send the detection result of whether the energized component 10 is electrically connected to the high-voltage power grid to the vehicle controller (not shown in the figure).

For example, if the remaining charge of the power battery pack 13 is not lower than the first preset threshold, the vehicle controller may, but is not limited to, control the second switch assembly to conduct when the remaining capacity of the on-board capacitor is less than the second preset threshold, so that the energy recovery circuit of the on-board capacitor in the high-voltage distribution cabinet 11 is conducted, thereby receiving regenerative braking energy to charge the on-board capacitor. As another example, if the remaining charge of the power battery pack 13 is not lower than the first preset threshold, the vehicle controller may, but is not limited to, control the first switch assembly to conduct when the remaining capacity of the on-board capacitor is greater than the second preset threshold, so that the high-voltage distribution cabinet 11 transmits the received regenerative braking energy to the high-voltage power grid through the pantograph's energy recovery circuit.

[0039] In one embodiment, the electric mining truck may be, but is not limited to, a wide-body mining dump truck. A wide-body mining dump truck is a heavy-duty transport vehicle specifically designed for open-pit mines, primarily used for rock and earth stripping and ore transport. Specifically, the electric mining truck may travel on long transport routes or on short routes such as loading and unloading areas.
[0040] In one embodiment, if the electric mining truck is traveling on a long transportation route, i.e., the entire vehicle is in overhead wire mode, then as follows Figure 3 As shown, the electric mining truck can receive the grid voltage provided by the high-voltage grid through the power receiving component 10, and after the grid voltage is stepped down by the high-voltage distribution cabinet 11, it is distributed to the electric drive system 2 and the high-voltage distribution box 12. Then, the high-voltage distribution box 12 outputs a charging voltage to charge the power battery pack 12 and supplies power to the radiator 14. Specifically, the main drive controller 20 receives the second grid voltage distributed by the high-voltage distribution cabinet 11 after stepping down the grid voltage, and outputs a first supply voltage to the first drive motor 21 and a third supply voltage to the steering motor 25.

[0041] In one embodiment, if the electric mining truck is traveling on a short distance, i.e., the vehicle is in pure electric mode, then as follows: Figure 4As shown, the electric mining truck can be powered by the power battery pack 13.

[0043] In one embodiment, if the vehicle is in a stopped and non-operating state, it can enter charging mode. The electric mining truck can receive voltage from the charging equipment through the charging interface 121 on the high-voltage distribution box 12, thereby charging the power battery pack 13.
[0044] The power supply system and electric mining truck of this invention include: a power receiving component 10, a high-voltage distribution cabinet 11, a high-voltage distribution box 12, and a power battery pack 13. Therefore, it can receive grid voltage provided by the high-voltage power grid through the power receiving component 10 or output battery voltage through the power battery pack 13, and output it to the electric drive system 2 through the high-voltage distribution cabinet 11.
