[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this embodiment describes a manual or automatic multi-functional battery swapping platform, including a base 1, which serves as the foundation for the platform and can be formed by concrete pouring. A protective enclosure 2 is installed on the upper part of the base 1, and a second protective enclosure 3 is installed on the upper part of the base 1 on one side of the first protective enclosure 2. Both the first and second protective enclosures contain charging and discharging power modules for charging and discharging the swapped batteries. Furthermore, the first and second protective enclosures contain various equipment modules required for the battery swapping, primarily for charging and discharging maintenance. A connection is formed between the first and second protective enclosures. A driving channel 4 is formed for the passage of battery swapping vehicles. Inside the protective housing 1 2, there are several manual battery swapping racks 5. Inside the protective housing 2 3, there are three automatic battery swapping racks 20. Both the manual battery swapping racks 5 and the automatic battery swapping racks 20 can place batteries. A battery swapping robot 6 is installed between the three automatic battery swapping racks 20. The battery swapping robot 6 is equipped with a battery swapping clamp for automatically swapping the batteries on the automatic battery swapping racks 20. Both the manual battery swapping racks 5 and the automatic battery swapping racks 20 have several battery swapping chambers 7 inside, which are used to place the swapping batteries.

[0025] Specifically, several manual battery swapping racks 5 are arranged in a straight line, and three automatic battery swapping racks 20 are arranged in a U-shape. The battery swapping robot 6 is located between the three automatic battery swapping racks 20. A manual battery swapping tray 8 is placed on one side of the manual battery swapping rack 5. The manual battery swapping tray 8 holds the batteries for manual swapping, making it easy to move the batteries. The distribution of the automatic battery swapping racks 20 allows the battery swapping robot 6 to pick up and swap the batteries on the three automatic battery swapping racks 20.

[0026] Furthermore, support plates 9 are installed on both sides of the battery swapping chamber 7, and rotating wheels 10 are installed on the opposite surfaces of the two support plates 9. The rotating wheels 10 facilitate the removal or placement of the battery from or into the battery swapping chamber 7. Barrier gates 15 are installed on both sides of the driving channel 4. The barrier gates 15 facilitate the limitation of the maximum number of vehicles that can swap batteries at any one time.

[0027] The usage method of this embodiment is as follows: When in use, the battery swapping vehicle passes through the barrier gate 15 and enters the driving channel 4. According to the actual needs of the battery swapping vehicle, it can choose to perform manual or automatic battery swapping. When performing manual battery swapping, the manual battery swapping bracket 8 is used to receive the battery on the vehicle and place it into the empty battery swapping cavity 7. The battery that has been fully charged and discharged is placed on the manual battery swapping bracket 8 and reinstalled to complete the manual battery swapping. When performing automatic battery swapping, the battery swapping vehicle is driven to the designated area. The battery swapping robot 6 uses the battery swapping clamp to remove the battery from the vehicle and place it into the empty battery swapping cavity 7 according to the program. The battery swapping clamp is used again to pick up the battery that has been fully charged and discharged and install it inside the vehicle to complete the automatic battery swapping process.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] The structure of the waste gas deodorization device for municipal solid waste incineration in this embodiment is basically the same as that of the waste gas deodorization device for municipal solid waste incineration in Embodiment 1. The difference is that, specifically, a liquid cooling unit 11 is installed on the upper end of the second protective housing 3, and a liquid cooling plate 12 is installed inside the battery swapping chamber 7 on the second protective housing 3. The liquid cooling plate 12 is connected to the liquid cooling unit 11. When the battery is charging and discharging, the temperature of the battery box surface will increase. The liquid cooling plate 12 can cool the surface of the battery box, thereby reducing the probability of thermal runaway of the battery (see...). Figures 3-5 ).

[0030] Furthermore, a base plate 13 is installed at the bottom of each battery swapping chamber 7, and an inflatable airbag 14 is installed at the top of each base plate 13. The liquid cooling plate 12 is located at the top of the inflatable airbag 14. When the battery is placed into the battery swapping chamber 7, the inflation device inflates the inflatable airbag 14. The inflatable airbag 14 expands and causes the liquid cooling plate 12 to contact the bottom of the swapped battery, effectively preventing wear on the surface of the liquid cooling plate 12 when the battery is placed or removed.

[0031] Furthermore, a thermal runaway treatment chamber 16 is arranged below the lowest battery swapping chamber 7 on an automatic battery swapping rack 20. The thermal runaway treatment chamber 16 is through-type, and a fire sandbox 17 is placed on one side of the thermal runaway treatment chamber 16. The fire sandbox 17 has a cavity inside, and U-shaped frames 18 are installed inside both the cavity and the thermal runaway treatment chamber 16. The battery swapping robot 6 picks up the battery that has caused thermal runaway and puts it into the thermal runaway treatment chamber 16, and then enters the fire sandbox 17 for further processing, so as to avoid directly processing the battery that has caused thermal runaway and affecting the other batteries.

[0032] Furthermore, the U-shaped frames 18 are all arranged at an angle, so that the battery swapping unit that enters the thermal runaway treatment chamber 16 can slide directly into the fire sandbox 17 under the action of gravity. Several guide wheels 19 are installed at equal intervals on the U-shaped frames 18. The setting of the guide wheels 19 reduces the friction between the U-shaped frames 18 and the bottom of the battery swapping unit, effectively reducing the resistance to the movement of the battery swapping unit.

[0033] The usage method of this embodiment is as follows: When the battery is placed into the battery swapping chamber 7, the inflation device inflates the airbag 14. The expansion of the airbag 14 causes the liquid cooling plate 12 to rise, and the liquid cooling plate 12 contacts the bottom of the battery. When the battery is about to be removed, the airbag 14 deflates, causing the liquid cooling plate 12 to descend, so that the liquid cooling plate 12 does not contact the bottom of the battery. The battery will not scratch the surface of the liquid cooling plate 12 when it is placed in and removed. When the battery experiences thermal runaway, the battery swapping robot 6 uses the battery swapping clamp to pick up the battery that has experienced thermal runaway and places it into the thermal runaway treatment chamber 16. The battery inside the thermal runaway treatment chamber 16 is guided by the guide wheels 19 on the U-shaped frame 18 and enters the fire sandbox 17. After moving the fire sandbox 17, the battery that has experienced thermal runaway can be subjected to subsequent fire treatment.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
