The above definitions are for explanation and illustration only and should not be construed as limiting this disclosure.

[0033] For ease of understanding, please refer to the appendix below. Figures 1 to 5 The specific structure and working principle of the battery swapping device for the automated delivery vehicle disclosed herein will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments.

[0034] This disclosure relates to a battery swapping device for an automated delivery vehicle. The high-voltage and low-voltage line interfaces are integrated into a single electrical connection device 3, thereby improving the connection efficiency between the battery and external devices, effectively utilizing the space within the battery, saving costs, and providing better safety. See also Figure 1 and, Figure 2 and Figure 5 The battery for the automated delivery vehicle disclosed herein includes a housing 1, a cell assembly 2, and an integrated electrical connection device 3. The housing 1 may include multiple sidewalls 14 arranged along a first direction, which enclose an opening to accommodate the cell assembly 2. The number of sidewalls 14 can be determined according to the actual battery shape. For example, when the housing 1 is rectangular, there are four sidewalls 14 arranged perpendicularly to each other to form a rectangular housing 1. The cell assembly 2 is accommodated in the accommodating space formed by the housing 1 and serves as the power supply for the battery swapping unit. It may include multiple cells 21 arranged side by side along the first direction.

[0035] The integrated electrical connection device 3 can interface with automated delivery vehicles or charging equipment, which can be charging stations or outdoor charging piles. The integrated electrical connection device 3 integrates a high-voltage interface 31 and a low-voltage interface 32. The high-voltage interface 31 can be connected to the high-voltage line in the cell assembly 2, which is the positive and negative main circuit inside the battery. The high-voltage line can be a line formed by connecting multiple cells 21 through the integrated busbar 22, or other lines formed by connecting multiple cells 21. It will not be described in detail here. The low-voltage interface 32 can be connected to the low-voltage line in the cell assembly 2. The low-voltage line can be a line in the cell assembly 2 that connects to the battery management component 23. The battery pipeline component 23 can monitor the temperature, charge, and other conditions of the cell assembly 2 during operation, or other communication lines in the cell assembly 2. It will not be described in detail here.

[0036] The battery swapping device disclosed herein connects to the automated delivery vehicle and charging equipment via an integrated electrical connection device 3. The integrated electrical connection device 3 integrates a high-voltage interface 31 and a low-voltage interface 32, which avoids the need for separate arrangement of the high-voltage interface 31 and the low-voltage interface 32, and makes it easier to connect to the automated delivery vehicle and charging equipment.

[0037] In some embodiments, the high-voltage interface 31 is used to establish an electrical connection between the battery cell assembly 2 and the automated delivery vehicle or charging equipment, and the low-voltage interface 32 is used to establish a communication connection between the battery cell assembly 2 and the automated delivery vehicle or charging equipment. For example, when installing the battery swapping device on the automated delivery vehicle, the battery can be placed in the battery tray of the automated delivery vehicle. Then, the power supply connector on the automated delivery vehicle can be connected to the high-voltage interface 31 on the integrated electrical connection device 3, so that the automated delivery vehicle can be connected to the high-voltage line in the battery through the high-voltage interface 31, enabling the battery swapping device to supply power to the automated delivery vehicle. After completing the connection between the power supply connector and the high-voltage interface 31 in the automated delivery vehicle, the communication connector in the automated delivery vehicle can also be connected to the low-voltage interface 32 on the integrated electrical connection device 3, so that the vehicle controller in the automated delivery vehicle can be connected to the low-voltage line in the battery, enabling the vehicle controller to control the current of the battery swapping device during the discharge process, monitor the temperature of the battery swapping device, and ensure the safety of the battery swapping device during the discharge process.

[0038] Similarly, when the battery is depleted after a period of use, it can be removed from the automated delivery vehicle and connected to the charging equipment. The charging connector of the charging equipment can also be connected to the high-voltage interface 31 on the integrated electrical connection device 3 to complete the charging of the battery. After the connection between the charging connector and the high-voltage interface 31 is completed, the communication connector in the charging equipment can also be connected to the low-voltage interface 32 on the integrated electrical connection device 3 so that the controller of the charging equipment can effectively control the current during the charging of the battery and monitor the temperature of the battery, ensuring the charging safety of the battery.

[0039] It should be noted that when using the battery swapping service, either the high-voltage interface 31 or the low-voltage interface 32 can be used alone, or both interfaces can be used simultaneously. The specific choice can be made based on the actual situation.

[0040] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 3The integrated electrical connection device 3 includes an integrated plate 34, a high-voltage interface 31 and a low-voltage interface 32 integrated on the integrated plate 34, and other auxiliary connections or structures that facilitate assembly can also be integrated on the integrated plate 34. By setting the integrated plate 34, the installation between the integrated electrical connection device 3 and the housing 1 or other components in the battery can be facilitated. During installation, the integrated electrical connection device 3 can be installed by directly installing the integrated plate 34.

[0041] Optionally, the high-voltage interface 31 includes a positive interface 311 and a negative interface 312, with the low-voltage interface 32 located between the positive and negative interfaces 311 and 312. This arrangement allows operators to connect the connector of the automated delivery vehicle or charging equipment to the high-voltage lines in the battery swapping unit via the positive and negative interfaces 311 and 312, and then connect the connector of the automated delivery vehicle or charging equipment to the low-voltage lines in the battery module via the gap between the positive and negative interfaces 311 and 312. This further reduces the space occupied by the integrated electrical connection device 3, improves its integration, and saves space in the battery swapping unit. Of course, in other embodiments, the integrated electrical connection device 3 can also have other structures, depending on the actual situation, and this disclosure does not impose any limitations on this.

[0042] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The integrated board 34 is provided with mounting holes 341. The integrated electrical connection device 3 includes a connecting body 33. The connecting body 33 can be inserted into the mounting hole 341 and is detachably snapped onto the inner end face of the mounting hole 341 by a connecting flange 331. The connecting flange 331 can be formed by extending outward relative to the end edge of the connecting body 33 inserted into the mounting hole 341, so as to form a stepped structure with the end of the connecting body 33, thereby allowing the connecting flange 331 to be detachably snapped into the mounting hole 341.

[0043] The high-voltage interface 31 and the low-voltage interface 32 can be located on the connecting body 33. For example, a mounting groove 332 can be provided on the connecting body 33. The positive interface 311 and the negative interface 312 are located at opposite ends of the connecting body 33, and the mounting groove 332 is located between the positive interface 311 and the negative interface 312 for mounting the low-voltage interface 32. This arrangement facilitates the connection between the low-voltage interface 32 and the connecting body 33, and also allows the low-voltage interface 32 to be removed separately for repair when it is damaged.

[0044] The high-voltage interface 31 and the low-voltage interface 32 can be detachably connected to the integrated board 34 through the connecting body 33. With this configuration, if the high-voltage interface 31 and the low-voltage interface 32 fail, the high-voltage interface 31 and the low-voltage interface 32 can be repaired and replaced by removing the connecting body 33, without having to replace the entire integrated board 34, thus saving maintenance costs to a certain extent.

[0045] When connecting the connecting body 33 and the integrated plate 34, the end of the connecting body 33 without the connecting flange 331 can be passed through the inner end face of the mounting hole 341 to the integrated plate 34. The connecting flange 331 is then engaged with the inner end face of the mounting hole 341. The detachable connection between the connecting flange 331 and the inner end face of the mounting hole 211 can be achieved by bolts and nuts, by a direct snap-fit ​​structure, or by other detachable connection methods known to those skilled in the art. The specific method can be determined according to the actual situation, and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions on it.

[0046] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 An air vent valve 4 connected to the accommodating space is provided on the integrated plate 34. By setting the air vent valve 4, the internal and external pressure of the battery can be balanced during the use of the battery. Especially in use scenarios such as high altitude, the internal and external pressure difference can be balanced, which can reduce the possibility of water vapor condensation inside the battery, increase the battery's service life, and prevent battery failure. In this embodiment, the integrated electrical connection device 3 is located on the top surface of the integrated plate 34, and the vent valve 4 is located on the side of the integrated plate 34. The side can be different sides of the integrated plate 34 to facilitate the installation of the vent valve 4 and the use of the battery. Since the integrated electrical connection device 3 may occupy a large space on the top surface of the integrated plate 34, placing the vent valve 4 on the side of the integrated plate 34 can make full use of the space on the integrated plate 34. On the other hand, when the vent valve 4 is in use and sprays gas, the vent valve 4 located on the side of the integrated plate 34 can prevent the sprayed gas from flowing to the integrated electrical connection device 3, affecting the connection between the integrated electrical connection device 3 and the automated delivery vehicle and charging equipment, or causing damage to the integrated electrical connection device 3.

[0047] In some embodiments of this disclosure, see Figure 1 and Figure 3The housing 1 has a closed end and an open end. The battery swapping device also includes an end cap 5, which covers the open end of the housing 1 to seal the accommodating space. The end cap 5 can be made of insulating plastic to ensure the insulation of the end cap 5 while maintaining strength, thus ensuring the safety of the battery swapping device. In this embodiment, an integrated electrical connection device 3 is installed on the end cap 5. The connection method can be through bolts and nuts or direct bonding. Since the end cap 5 is usually visible after the battery swapping device is connected to the automated delivery vehicle or charging equipment, installing the integrated electrical connection device 3 on the end cap 5 makes it convenient for staff to connect the connectors on the automated delivery vehicle or charging equipment to the high-voltage interface 31 and low-voltage interface 32 on the integrated electrical connection device 3.

[0048] Optionally, a handle 51 is also provided on the end cap 5, and the handle 51 is arranged side by side with the integrated electrical connection device 3. The handle 51 on the end cap 5 facilitates the operator's grip on the handle 51 when replacing the battery. The handle 51 can be made of composite material to provide good strength. The side-by-side arrangement of the handle 51 with the integrated electrical connection device 3 improves the integration of the end cap 5, fully utilizes the space on the end cap 5, and reduces the size of the battery.

[0049] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 Both the handle 51 and the integrated electrical connection device 3 protrude from the end cap 5, and the height of the handle 51 protruding from the end cap 5 is greater than the height of the integrated electrical connection device 3 protruding from the end cap 5. This design allows the operator to directly grip the handle 51 when moving the battery without being obstructed by the integrated electrical connection device 3. If the height of the integrated electrical connection device 3 protruding from the end cap 5 is greater than that of the handle 51, the integrated electrical connection device 3 may come into contact with the operator when gripping the handle 51, potentially causing safety hazards and damage to the integrated electrical connection device 3.

[0050] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 3The handle 51 is located on the side of the end cap 5 closest to the mounting surface 12, while the integrated electrical connection device 3 is located on the side of the end cap 5 furthest from the mounting surface 12. The mounting surface 12 is the surface where the housing 1 and the battery tray fit together after the battery is installed. This arrangement allows the operator to directly grasp the handle 51 when moving the battery without being obstructed by the integrated electrical connection device 3 during movement from the top of the battery towards the mounting surface 12, thus avoiding contact between the integrated electrical connection device 3 and the operator, which could pose a safety hazard or cause damage to the integrated electrical connection device 3. Of course, in other embodiments, the positional relationship between the handle 51 and the integrated electrical connection device 3 can also be different. For example, they can be located on opposite sides of the end cap 5, rather than side by side. The specific arrangement can be determined according to the actual situation, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0051] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The handle 51 is I-shaped and includes side plates 511 located on opposite sides of the end cap 5 and a gripping rod 512 located between the two side plates 511. The side plates 511 of the end cap 5 are positioned higher than the integrated electrical connection device 3. The gripping rod 512 is connected to the top of the two side plates 511, so that the height of the gripping rod 512 is higher than that of the integrated electrical connection device 3, so that the operator can hold it without contacting the integrated electrical connection device 3 during the gripping process, thus avoiding safety hazards and damage to the integrated electrical connection device 3. Furthermore, the higher position of the gripping rod 512 also provides sufficient gripping space between the gripping rod 512 and the end cap 5, further facilitating the operator's gripping.

[0052] Optionally, see Figure 3 An arc-shaped protective portion 52 can also be provided on the end cap 5. The protective portion 52 is connected to the integrated electrical connection device 3 so that when the operator holds the handle 51, the back of their hand can be protected by the protective portion 52 and will not directly contact the integrated electrical connection device 3, thereby improving the safety of the operator when using the battery. Of course, in other embodiments, the handle 51 can also be of other structures, as long as it is convenient for the operator to hold. The specific design can be determined according to the actual situation, and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions on it.

[0053] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 3A mounting recess 11 adjacent to the closed end is formed on the side of the housing 1. An explosion-proof valve 6 is installed in the mounting recess 11. The explosion-proof valve 6 communicates with the receiving space. In the event of an abnormal condition of the battery, the operator can release the gas in the battery through the explosion-proof valve 6 to prevent the battery from exploding or being further damaged. In this embodiment, the mounting recess 11 is recessed into the side wall of the housing 1 and extends to the closed end to form a notch at the closed end. By setting the notch, when water accumulates in the mounting recess 11 due to rain or other reasons, the accumulated rainwater can flow out from the notch under the weight during the battery swapping process. Furthermore, the mounting recess 11 is recessed into the side wall of the housing 1 so that after the explosion-proof valve 6 is installed in the mounting recess 11, it is lower than the outer surface of the housing 1, preventing the explosion-proof valve 6 from colliding with other batteries or the battery tray of the delivery vehicle during battery swapping.

[0054] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 An integrated electrical connection device 3 is located at one end of the housing 1. A buffer pad 13 is provided on the outer end face of the other end of the housing 1. Multiple buffer pads 13 are evenly distributed along the edge of the outer end face. In this embodiment, the buffer pad 13 includes a larger buffer pad 13 located at the front end of the bottom of the battery, and multiple smaller buffer pads 13 located at the rear end of the bottom, to achieve better protection. By providing the buffer pad 13, the force generated by the collision can be absorbed during battery installation and during the operation of the delivery vehicle, preventing damage to the battery. The buffer pad 13 can be made of rubber, resin, or other materials known to those skilled in the art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0055] A second aspect of this disclosure also relates to an automated delivery vehicle, including a battery swapping device as described in the above embodiments and a battery tray. In use, the battery swapping device can be installed in the battery tray of the automated delivery vehicle to power it. When using the battery swapping device, the power supply connector in the automated delivery vehicle can be connected to the high-voltage interface 31 of the integrated electrical connection device 3 on the battery swapping device, and the communication connector in the automated delivery vehicle controller can be connected to the low-voltage interface 32 of the integrated electrical connection device 3 on the battery swapping device. This allows the battery swapping device to power the automated delivery vehicle and enables the automated delivery vehicle controller to control the discharge current of the battery swapping device, monitor the internal temperature of the battery swapping device, and ensure the safe use of the battery swapping device.

[0056] The preferred embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of this disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0057] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this disclosure will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0058] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this disclosure can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this disclosure, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed in this disclosure.
