[0002] With the development of battery technology, electric devices such as electric vehicles can improve their charging efficiency by directly replacing the battery pack. When replacing the battery pack, the battery swapping connector is the only electrical interface. Through the base battery swapping connector and the housing battery swapping connector, electrical energy and data signals are transmitted between the battery swapping station equipment and the battery pack of the electric device, completing the connection and disconnection of the battery pack.

[0003] During the battery swapping process, the battery swapping connector in the enclosure descends and mates with the battery swapping connector on the base, gradually reaching the predetermined mating depth to meet the conduction requirements for charging and discharging. However, frequent insertion and removal between the battery swapping connector in the enclosure and the battery swapping connector on the base can easily damage the pins inside the battery swapping connector, thereby reducing the service life of the battery swapping connector. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention addresses the problem that frequent plugging and unplugging of battery swapping connectors can easily damage the internal pins of the connectors. The invention provides a floating component, a base battery swapping connector, and a vehicle that overcome or at least partially solve the aforementioned problems.

[0006] In one optional utility model, the elastic mechanism further includes: a protective member, which is sleeved on the elastic member and fixedly connected to the mounting plate, or the protective member is fixedly connected to the base.

[0007] An optional utility model embodiment, wherein the protective member is shaped to fit the elastic member.

[0008] An optional utility model includes a support member comprising a first support portion, a second support portion, and a third support portion in sequence. The first support portion abuts against the mounting plate, the diameter of the second support portion is larger than the diameter of the third support portion, and abuts against the base. The elastic mechanism further includes a fastener, the third support portion penetrates the base, and the fastener is threadedly connected to the third support portion to cooperate with the second support portion to limit the positioning of the third support portion.

[0009] In one optional utility model, a limiting hole is provided on the third support portion, and the elastic mechanism further includes a limiting pin, which is inserted into the limiting hole; the fastener is provided with a locking groove, and the limiting pin is located at the end of the fastener away from the second support portion and is embedded in the locking groove.

[0010] In one optional utility model, the diameter of the first support portion is larger than the diameter of the second support portion.

[0011] One optional utility model involves the first support portion, the second support portion, and the third support portion forming an integral structure.

[0012] In one optional utility model, when the number of elastic mechanisms is at least two, the at least two elastic mechanisms are symmetrically distributed on opposite edges of the mounting plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model includes a mounting plate and an elastic mechanism. The mounting plate has a connection hole, and the connector body of the base-type power-swapping connector is mounted on the mounting plate. The elastic mechanism is located between the mounting plate and the base of the base-type power-swapping connector. The elastic mechanism includes a support member and an elastic member.

The elastic member is sleeved on the support member, with one end abutting against the mounting plate and the other end abutting against the base. When the housing power-swapping connector abuts against the connector body, the elastic member is compressed. Therefore, during insertion, the elastic mechanism allows the housing power-swapping connector to descend slowly, buffering the impact of the descent of the base-type power-swapping connector, thus protecting the pins in both power-swapping connectors.

[0027] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0028] With the development of battery technology, electric devices such as electric vehicles can improve their charging efficiency by directly replacing the battery pack. When replacing the battery pack, the battery swapping connector is the only electrical interface. Through the base battery swapping connector and the housing battery swapping connector, electrical energy and data signals are transmitted between the battery swapping station equipment and the battery pack of the electric device, completing the connection and disconnection of the battery pack.

[0029] During the battery swapping process, the battery swapping connector in the enclosure descends and mates with the battery swapping connector on the base, gradually reaching the predetermined mating depth to meet the conduction requirements for charging and discharging. However, frequent insertion and removal between the battery swapping connector in the enclosure and the battery swapping connector on the base can easily damage the pins inside the battery swapping connector, thereby reducing the service life of the battery swapping connector.

[0030] Based on the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model embodiment is proposed. This utility model embodiment may include a mounting plate 1 and an elastic mechanism 2. The mounting plate 1 has a connection hole 101, and a connector body 4 of the base power swapping connector is mounted on the mounting plate 1. The elastic mechanism 2 is located between the mounting plate 1 and the base 3 of the base power swapping connector. The elastic mechanism 2 includes a support member 21 and an elastic member 22. The support member 21 passes through the connection hole 101 and is connected to the mounting plate 1 and the base 3. The elastic member 22 is sleeved on the support member 21. One end of the elastic member 22 abuts against the mounting plate 1, and the other end abuts against the base 3. When the housing power swapping connector 5 abuts against the connector body 4, the elastic member 22 is compressed. Therefore, during the insertion process, the elastic mechanism 2 allows the housing power swapping connector 5 to descend slowly, buffering the impact of the descent of the base power swapping connector, thereby protecting the pins in both power swapping connectors. After the insertion is complete, the elastic mechanism 2 is compressed, which continuously provides upward elastic force, thereby ensuring a tight fit of the insertion and a firm electrical connection.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a floating component, which may include a mounting plate 1 and an elastic mechanism 2. The mounting plate 1 has a connection hole 101, and a connector body 4 of a base battery swapping connector is mounted on the mounting plate 1. The elastic mechanism 2 is located between the mounting plate 1 and the base 3 of the base battery swapping connector. The elastic mechanism 2 may include a support member 21 and an elastic member 22. The support member 21 passes through the connection hole 101, and is connected to the mounting plate 1 and the base 3. The elastic member 22 is sleeved on the support member 21, with one end abutting against the mounting plate 1 and the other end abutting against the base 3. When the housing battery swapping connector 5 abuts against the connector body 4, the elastic member 22 is compressed by force.

[0032] In this embodiment of the utility model, the mounting plate 1 serves as the mounting support for the base battery swapping connector. When the connector body 4 and the housing battery swapping connector 5 are inserted (also referred to as mating), the mounting plate 1, which fixes the connector body 4, and the housing battery swapping connector 5 remain in contact. The mounting plate 1 has a connecting hole 101 for installing the elastic mechanism 2. In one example, the mounting plate 1 may also have an insertion slot 102. For example, the insertion slot 102 may be located in the middle region of the mounting plate 1, with a portion of the connector body 4 passing through the insertion slot 102. In one or more embodiments, the mounting plate 1 may be made of steel. For example, Q355B type steel may be used, without further limitation. The thickness of the mounting plate 1 can be selected according to the actual structural strength; for example, the thickness of the mounting plate 1 may be set between 6 mm and 10 mm. Specifically, the thickness of the mounting plate 1 may be 6 mm, 8 mm, or 10 mm, etc.

[0033] The elastic mechanism 2 has elastic properties, capable of deformation and compression under pressure and recovery of deformation when the pressure is removed. The elastic mechanism 2 passes through the connection hole 101 on the mounting plate 1 and is connected to both the mounting plate 1 and the base 3 of the base 3 interchange connector. In one example, the elastic mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 1 and movably connected to the base 3. In another example, the elastic mechanism 2 is movably connected to the mounting plate 1 and fixedly connected to the base 3.

[0034] Therefore, when the housing power swapping connector 5 presses down on the mounting plate 1, the elastic mechanism 2 is compressed by applying downward pressure to the mounting plate 1. This elastic mechanism 2 buffers the descent of the housing power swapping connector 5 and the impact of the base power swapping connector's descent. In other words, the elastic mechanism 2 allows the housing power swapping connector 5 to descend slowly, achieving a soft landing for both power swapping connectors. This protects the pins in both power swapping connectors. After insertion, the compressed elastic mechanism 2 provides a continuous upward force, ensuring a tight fit and secure electrical connection, while still maintaining compressibility. Therefore, even in the event of assembly errors between the housing power swapping connector 5 and the base power swapping connector, the elastic mechanism 2 can also help eliminate tolerances.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5As shown, the elastic mechanism 2 may include a support member 21 and an elastic member 22. The support member 21 passes through the connecting hole 101 and is connected to the mounting plate 1 and the base 3. The elastic member 22 is sleeved on the support member 21, with one end abutting against the mounting plate 1 and the other end abutting against the base 3. The support member 21 provides structural support for the elastic member 22, preventing irreversible deformation of the elastic member 22 during repeated deformation, such as radial deformation. The elastic member 22 is sleeved on the support member 21, thereby radially limiting the elastic member 22. Furthermore, the support member 21 passes through the connecting hole 101, with a portion connected to the mounting plate 1 and a portion connected to the base 3. Thus, the elastic member 22 can be axially limited by abutting against the mounting plate 1 and the base 3 at both ends.

[0036] In one example, the support member 21 is movably connected to the mounting plate 1 and fixedly connected to the base 3. Alternatively, the support member 21 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 1 and movably connected to the base 3. Thus, after the housing power swapping connector 5 presses against the mounting plate 1, the elastic member 22 is compressed during the descent of the housing power swapping connector 5. The deformation of the elastic member 22 causes the housing power swapping connector 5 to descend slowly, achieving a soft landing for both power swapping connectors. This protects the pins in both power swapping connectors. After insertion, the compressed elastic member 22 provides a continuous upward elastic force, ensuring a tight fit and secure electrical connection, while still allowing for compressibility. Therefore, in the event of assembly errors between the housing power swapping connector 5 and the base power swapping connector, the elastic member 22 can also mitigate these tolerances.

[0037] In one or more embodiments, the elastic element 22 may include, but is not limited to, structures such as springs and elastic bellows. For example, when the elastic element 22 includes a spring, it may be a rectangular spring, and the diameter of the spring coil of the elastic element 22 may be between 15 mm and 25 mm. Diameters such as 15 mm, 20 mm, and 25 mm can be selected. The axial length of the elastic element 22 may be between 55 mm and 65 mm. Diameters such as 55 mm, 60 mm, and 65 mm can be selected. For each elastic element 22, the corresponding design compression amount may be 17.5 mm, and the maximum allowable compression amount is 25 mm.

[0038] In some embodiments, the support member 21 may be a structure such as a pin or a support rod.

[0039] Under the action of the elastic member 22, the housing power swapping connector 5 can be lifted to a certain height, thereby enabling the housing power swapping connector 5 and the base power swapping connector to be pre-guided and contacted, facilitating more precise insertion of the pins between the two power swapping connectors.

[0040] An optional utility model embodiment, referring to... Figure 2 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 6 As shown, the elastic mechanism 2 may further include a protective member 23, which is sleeved on the elastic member 22 and fixedly connected to the mounting plate 1, or the protective member 23 is fixedly connected to the base 3.

[0041] In this embodiment of the invention, the protective member 23 is sleeved on the elastic member 22, providing protection to the outer surface of the elastic member 22. Firstly, it prevents the elastic member 22 from being over-compressed and causing failure. Secondly, it prevents foreign matter from entering the elastic member 22 and affecting its deformation performance. For example, the protective member 23 may include, but is not limited to, structures such as bushings and pipes. The length of the protective member 23 can be determined based on the depth after the two battery swapping connectors are inserted. For example, the protective member 23 can be made of steel. For example, Q355B type steel can be selected, without further limitation. The outer diameter of the protective member 23 can be 30 mm to 35 mm. Diameters such as 30 mm, 33 mm, and 35 mm can be selected. The inner diameter of the protective member 23 can be 20 mm to 25 mm. Diameters such as 20 mm, 23 mm, and 25 mm can be selected.

[0042] In one optional embodiment of the utility model, the protective member 23 and the elastic member 22 are shape-fitted. The shape fit between the protective member 23 and the elastic member 22 can be understood as a clearance fit between the inner wall of the elastic member 22 and the protective member 23, thereby preventing radial deformation of the elastic member 22 and further defining the deformation direction of the elastic member 22.

[0043] An optional utility model embodiment, referring to... Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the support member 21 sequentially includes a first support portion 211, a second support portion 212, and a third support portion 213. The first support portion 211 abuts against the mounting plate 1. The diameter of the second support portion 212 is larger than the diameter of the third support portion 213, and it abuts against the base 3. The elastic mechanism 2 also includes a fastener 24. The third support portion 213 passes through the base 3, and the fastener 24 is threadedly connected to the third support portion 213 to cooperate with the second support portion 212 to limit the positioning of the third support portion 213.

[0044] In this embodiment of the present invention, the support member 21 sequentially includes a first support portion 211, a second support portion 212, and a third support portion 213. It can be understood that the support member 21 may include a first support portion 211, a second support portion 212, and a third support portion 213, wherein the first support portion 211 is fixedly connected to the second support portion 212, and the end of the second support portion 212 away from the first support portion 211 is fixedly connected to the third support portion 213.

[0045] The first support portion 211 abuts against the mounting plate 1, and the second support portion 212 penetrates the mounting plate 1, thereby forming a movable connection between the mounting plate 1 and the support member 21 through the first support portion 211. The fastener 24 refers to a component used to fix the support member 21 to the base 3. For example, the second support portion 212 abuts against the base 3, which can limit the relative position between the support member 21 and the base 3. The elastic member 22 can be sleeved on the second support portion 212, and the third support portion 213 penetrates the base 3 and is threadedly connected to the fastener 24, thereby fixing the support member 21 to the base 3 through the cooperation of the second support portion 212 and the fastener 24.

[0046] When the battery swapping connector 5 is inserted into the enclosure, the mounting plate 1 moves downward along the second support portion 212, and the elastic element 22 is compressed. In some embodiments, a washer or other device may also be provided between the fastener 24 and the mounting plate 1.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first support portion 211, the second support portion 212, and the third support portion 213 are an integral structure. An integral structure can reduce the production cost of the support member 21. The radial cross-sectional area of ​​the first support portion 211 along the second support portion 212 is larger than the radial cross-sectional area of ​​the second support portion 212. If the radial cross-section of the first support portion 211 along the second support portion 212 is circular, then the diameter of the first support portion 211 is larger than the diameter of the second support portion 212. Therefore, the cross-sectional shape of the support member 21 along its axial direction can be stepped (or stepped). The support member 21 can be made of steel. For example, Q355B type steel can be used, without further limitation. The diameter of the second support portion 212 can be 8 mm, 10 mm, or 12 mm, etc.

[0048] An optional utility model embodiment, referring to... Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, the third support portion 213 has a limiting hole 21301, and the elastic mechanism 2 also includes a limiting pin 25, which is inserted into the limiting hole 21301. The fastener 24 is provided with a locking groove 2401, and the limiting pin 25 is located at the end of the fastener 24 away from the second support portion 212 and is embedded in the locking groove 2401.

[0049] In this embodiment of the invention, a limiting hole 21301 is provided on the third support portion 213, and the elastic mechanism 2 may further include a limiting pin 25, which is used to prevent the fastener 24 from falling off. Thus, the limiting hole 21301 is located on the side of the fastener 24 away from the second support portion 212. Correspondingly, the limiting pin 25 is inserted into the limiting hole 21301 and embedded in the locking groove 2401 provided on the fastener 24. The locking groove 2401 and the limiting pin 25 may be in clearance fit. Thus, the limiting pin 25 can limit the fastener 24 from below. In one or more embodiments, the fastener 24 may be a nut, a threaded connecting pipe, or other components. If the fastener 24 is a nut, it may be a slotted nut. This prevents the fastener 24 from falling off, thus preventing the support member 21 from loosening. This improves the operational stability of the floating component.

[0050] In one optional embodiment of the utility model, the contact surface between the first support portion 211 and the mounting plate 1 is set as a plane.

[0051] In this embodiment of the invention, the contact surface between the first support 211 and the mounting plate 1 is set as a plane. This plane design ensures the flatness of the mounting plate 1 when the housing presses down on it. This facilitates reducing the axial offset of the support 21.

[0052] An optional utility model embodiment, referring to... Figure 2 As shown, when the number of elastic mechanisms 2 is at least two, the at least two elastic mechanisms 2 are symmetrically distributed on opposite edges of the mounting plate 1.

[0053] In this embodiment of the invention, at least two of the elastic mechanisms 2 are symmetrically distributed on opposite edges of the mounting plate 1. The number of connecting holes 101 is consistent with the number of elastic mechanisms 2. In one example, at least two of the elastic mechanisms 2 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the mounting plate 1 along its length. Alternatively, at least two of the elastic mechanisms 2 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the mounting plate 1 along its width. This symmetrical distribution ensures that when the housing power connector 5 presses against the mounting plate 1, each elastic mechanism 2 experiences uniform force and compression, thereby guaranteeing a tight fit and a secure electrical connection.

[0054] For example, there are 6 elastic mechanisms 2, with 3 elastic mechanisms 2 symmetrically distributed on both sides of the mounting plate 1 along the length direction. For each elastic element 22 of the elastic mechanism 2, each can provide 183 Newtons of elastic force, and the total elastic element 22 of the 6 elastic elements 22 is close to 1100 Newtons.

[0055] In summary, this utility model discloses a floating assembly, which may include a mounting plate 1 and an elastic mechanism 2. The mounting plate 1 has a connection hole 101, and a connector body 4 of the base power swapping connector is mounted on the mounting plate 1. The elastic mechanism 2 is located between the mounting plate 1 and the base 3 of the base power swapping connector. The elastic mechanism 2 includes a support member 21 and an elastic member 22. The support member 21 passes through the connection hole 101 and is connected to the mounting plate 1 and the base 3. The elastic member 22 is sleeved on the support member 21. One end of the elastic member 22 abuts against the mounting plate 1, and the other end abuts against the base 3. When the housing power swapping connector 5 abuts against the connector body 4, the elastic member 22 is compressed. Thus, during the insertion process, the elastic mechanism 2 allows the housing power swapping connector 5 to descend slowly, buffering the impact caused by the descent of the base power swapping connector, thereby protecting the pins in the two power swapping connectors respectively. After the insertion is complete, the elastic mechanism 2 is compressed, which continuously provides upward elastic force, thereby ensuring a tight fit of the insertion and a firm electrical connection.

[0056] Furthermore, the aforementioned floating components have a simple structure, a small number of parts, high structural stability, and a low probability of failure.

[0057] Reference Figure 1As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a base-mounted battery swapping connector. The base-mounted battery swapping connector may include a floating component and a connector body 4 as described in any of the above utility model embodiments. The connector body 4 is fixed to the mounting plate 1. When the housing-mounted battery swapping connector 5 abuts against the connector body 4, the elastic mechanism 2 is compressed by force. The connector body 4 can be mounted on the mounting plate 1 by means of threaded connection or other methods.

[0058] This utility model embodiment also provides a vehicle, which may include the base battery swapping connector as described in the above utility model embodiment.

[0059] In this embodiment of the invention, vehicles equipped with the aforementioned base-mounted battery swapping connector can reduce pin movement and wear caused by vehicle vibrations during insertion. For example, the vehicle may be a new energy heavy-duty truck or similar type.

[0060] In summary, this utility model discloses a floating component, a base-mounted battery swapping connector, and a vehicle. This utility model includes a mounting plate 1 and an elastic mechanism 2. The mounting plate 1 has a connection hole 101, and the connector body 4 of the base-mounted battery swapping connector is mounted on the mounting plate 1. The elastic mechanism 2 is located between the mounting plate 1 and the base 3 of the base-mounted battery swapping connector. The elastic mechanism 2 includes a support member 21 and an elastic member 22. The support member 21 passes through the connection hole 101 and is connected to the mounting plate 1 and the base 3. The elastic member 22 is sleeved on the support member 21, with one end abutting against the mounting plate 1 and the other end abutting against the base 3. When the housing-mounted battery swapping connector 5 abuts against the connector body 4, the elastic member 22 is compressed. Therefore, during insertion, the elastic mechanism 2 allows the housing-mounted battery swapping connector 5 to descend slowly, buffering the impact of the descent of the base-mounted battery swapping connector, thereby protecting the pins in both battery swapping connectors. After the insertion is complete, the elastic mechanism 2 is compressed, which continuously provides upward elastic force, thereby ensuring a tight fit of the insertion and a firm electrical connection.
