Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power battery installation technology, and more specifically to a power battery lifting installation structure based on automatic sensing and positioning. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of industries such as new energy vehicles and energy storage power stations, the efficiency, accuracy, and safety of the installation and replacement of power batteries, as core energy components, have become crucial factors in ensuring the stability of system operation. In practical applications such as electric vehicle assembly lines, battery swapping stations, and energy storage module maintenance, the frequent loading and unloading of power batteries places higher demands on operational efficiency and safety control.

[0003] Currently, there are two main methods for installing power battery packs: one is the traditional method of manual handling and bolt locking; the other is a semi-automatic installation method using slide rails for manual positioning. Both methods have significant shortcomings in practical applications.

[0004] 1. Manual installation methods are labor-intensive and pose high safety risks. Especially in the installation of large battery packs (such as electric buses or energy storage container modules), manual operation can easily cause battery pack misalignment, collisions, or even accidents.

[0005] 2. The fixed slide rail insertion method cannot achieve fully automatic installation, and the positioning accuracy is difficult to guarantee. After the battery pack is pushed along the slide rail, its position still needs to be manually corrected, which cannot ensure complete vertical and horizontal fit, affecting electrical contact and mechanical stability.

[0006] 3. Lack of coordinated control mechanisms and feedback signal indications. Existing systems typically lack sensors to assist in determining the battery pack position and locking status. Operators rely on experience to judge whether the battery pack is in place, which can easily lead to misoperation or omissions.

[0007] 4. The locking method is simple and manual, resulting in poor reliability. Methods such as bolt tightening and pin fixing are prone to locking failure due to vibration, loosening, or thermal expansion and contraction, causing the battery pack to shift or even fall off during operation, affecting the safety of the entire vehicle or system.

[0008] With smart manufacturing, modular maintenance, and rapid battery replacement becoming trends, traditional power battery installation methods are clearly no longer sufficient to meet the demands for efficient, safe, and automated assembly. The industry urgently needs an installation structure with automatic identification, precise positioning, and stable locking capabilities to effectively improve battery pack assembly efficiency, reduce labor costs, and enhance safety.

[0009] Therefore, developing a power battery lifting installation structure with a reasonable structure, reliable sensing and positioning, automatic lifting linkage, and a sound locking mechanism has become a key technical means to improve the intelligent operation and maintenance capabilities and safety level of battery systems. This utility model is an innovative structure proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] Preferably, the bottom of the battery pack is provided with a plurality of vertical positioning pins, and the base is provided with positioning holes corresponding to the positioning pins, wherein the positioning pins can be inserted into the positioning holes for vertical positioning of the battery pack.

[0024] Preferably, the first position sensor is an infrared sensor or a proximity switch sensor installed at the rear of the base, used to detect whether the battery pack has slid into a predetermined position.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0043] Example

[0044] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, a power battery lifting installation structure based on automatic sensing and positioning includes a battery pack 1, a base 3, an electric lifting slide rail 8, an electric lifting mechanism 12, a first position sensor 9, a second position sensor 11, multiple horizontal electric locking mechanisms 2, a controller 10, and an operation button assembly (including an up button 4, a down button 5, a locking button 6, and an unlocking button 7).

[0045] The battery pack 1 has a rectangular structure and several vertical positioning pins at the bottom for vertical alignment with the base 3. The base 3 has a frame structure and positioning holes corresponding to the positioning pins for accommodating the bottom positioning pins of the battery pack 1 to achieve vertical positioning.

[0046] The electric lifting slide rail 8 is located inside the base 3, and multiple slide rail rollers 12 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of its upper edge to support the battery pack 1 and guide it to slide into the base horizontally. An electric lift 12 is connected below the slide rail 8. The electric lift 12 includes a lift platform 1201, a motor 1202 installed in the housing 1204, and a lifting rod 1203 connected to the platform 1201. The motor 1202 drives the lifting rod 1203 to rise and fall, thereby driving the entire lifting slide rail 8 to rise and fall.

[0047] The first position sensor 9 is located at the rear end of the base 3 and is used to detect whether the battery pack 1 has slid into the bottom position; the second position sensor 11 is located near the end position of the slide rail 8 and is used to detect whether the battery pack 1 has descended into the correct position.

[0048] Multiple horizontal electric locking mechanisms 2 are evenly distributed in the four lateral areas of the base 3. Each locking mechanism includes a locking mechanism body 201 installed on the inner wall of the base and a horizontally retractable locking tongue.

[0049] 202, the locking tongue 202 can extend or retract from the locking mechanism body 201 under the action of the control signal, and is used to limit the battery pack 1 in the horizontal direction to achieve stable locking in its installed state.

[0050] The controller 10 is electrically connected to the electric lift 12, the first position sensor 9, the second position sensor 11, the horizontal electric locking mechanism 2, and the operation button assembly, and is used to realize the status detection and action control of the entire system.

[0051] The operation button assembly is located on the front control panel of the base 3, including an up button 4, a down button 5, a lock button 6, and an unlock button 7. Each button is equipped with an LED indicator to indicate the operation status.

[0052] The usage process of this structure is as follows:

[0053] Installation process:

[0054] 1. The operator first presses the up button 4, and the controller 10 controls the electric lift 12 to start, which drives the electric lifting slide rail 8 to rise. The upper surface of the slide rail roller 12 is higher than the horizontal mounting surface of the base 3, forming a sliding slope that is easy to guide.

[0055] 2. Place the battery pack 1 on the slide rail roller 12 and slide the battery pack 1 along the direction of the roller by manual or mechanical pushing. When the battery pack 1 slides to the end of the base 3, the first position sensor 9 is triggered, detecting that the battery pack 1 is in place, and the controller 10 lights up the LED indicator of the descent button 5.

[0056] 3. The operator presses the descent button 5, and the electric lift 12 starts, driving the electric lifting slide rail 8 and the battery pack 1 down together. During the descent, the positioning pin at the bottom of the battery pack 1 inserts into the corresponding positioning hole on the base 3, achieving accurate vertical positioning of the battery pack 1.

[0057] 4. When the slide rail 8 descends to the designated end position, the second position sensor 11 is triggered, indicating that the battery pack has completed vertical positioning, and the controller 10 illuminates the LED indicator of the locking button 6.

[0058] 5. When the operator presses the locking button 6, the controller 10 controls multiple horizontal electric locking mechanisms 2 to move synchronously. The locking tongue 202 extends horizontally and inserts into the limiting groove or recess on the outer shell of the battery pack 1, completing the four-way locking installation of the battery pack 1.

[0059] Disassembly process:

[0060] 1. When the operator presses the unlock button 7, the controller 10 controls the locking tongue 202 in each horizontal electric locking mechanism 2 to retract, releasing the horizontal locking state.

[0061] 2. The controller 10 automatically illuminates the indicator light of the rise button 4. When the operator presses the rise button 4, the electric lift 12 starts and drives the battery pack 1 to rise along the slide rail 8, returning to the initial guide height.

[0062] 3. The operator pushes the battery pack 1 out of the base horizontally along the slide rail roller 12 to complete the disassembly.

[0063] This embodiment features a compact structure and reliable installation and positioning, making it suitable for various specifications of power battery packs and their automated replacement scenarios. It has broad applicability and promotional value.

[0064] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
