Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mining vehicle technology, and in particular to a battery swapping system for an underground trackless mining vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Compared to traditional fuel-powered vehicles, pure electric trackless mining trucks eliminate the exhaust fumes and engine noise produced by diesel combustion, offering advantages such as zero emissions and low noise. This improves the working environment in underground tunnels and reduces the risk of hearing damage to workers. Furthermore, pure electric trackless mining trucks are more energy-efficient, highly effective, and have lower maintenance costs. Therefore, pure electric trackless mining trucks represent a green and low-carbon option for underground mining operations.

[0003] With the rapid development of mining construction, the demands on the efficiency of pure electric vehicles have also increased. Not only are longer driving ranges required, but recharging efficiency has also become a major focus. The battery swapping model, with its unique "vehicle-battery separation" mechanism, eliminates charging time and boasts high recharging efficiency, providing a rapid recharging method for pure electric vehicles. This rapid recharging requires a matching battery swapping method. When a battery swap is needed, the battery swapping module assembly, which integrates the power battery system and thermal management system, is quickly unlocked via a designated structure. The entire battery swapping module assembly is then detached from the vehicle frame, and a fully charged battery swapping module assembly is installed on the frame and quickly locked in place.

[0004] Currently, the battery swapping methods for mining vehicles can be divided into two types based on whether additional equipment is required: self-swapping and non-self-swapping. Self-swapping vehicles do not require overhead cranes or external infrastructure assistance during battery swapping; they can complete the swapping operation through their own self-swapping system. Non-self-swapping vehicles, on the other hand, require auxiliary equipment such as cranes or robotic arms as the actuators for "vehicle-battery separation," and limit locking is achieved through the battery swapping structure built into the vehicle itself.

[0005] Self-swapping battery swapping requires no auxiliary equipment and is flexible and not limited by auxiliary equipment. However, the self-swapping system has a complex structure and requires an additional battery as the power source during the battery swapping process, which is costly. In addition, the battery swapping module assembly of self-swapping battery swapping is generally located at the end (rear) of the vehicle, which occupies a lot of space and is not friendly to the overall vehicle layout.

[0006] Whether it's a roof-mounted or side-mounted battery swapping system, most non-self-swapping battery swapping systems rely on a battery swapping base or other support structure mounted on the vehicle frame to work in conjunction with the battery swapping module assembly. This allows the battery swapping module assembly to be smoothly mounted on the vehicle and locked in place. Since the base or other support structure contains the necessary guiding, positioning, and locking mechanisms for the battery swapping process, it occupies a certain amount of installation space, increasing the difficulty of overall vehicle layout. The same applies to the battery swapping module assembly. Utility Model Content

[0039] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, an underground trackless mining car battery swapping system includes a front frame 1, a battery swapping module assembly 2 located in the installation area of ​​the front frame 1, a guide mechanism for guiding the assembly and disassembly of the battery swapping module assembly 2, and a locking mechanism 3 for locking the battery swapping module assembly 2.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the installation area is enclosed by a cover 4 located in front of the front frame 1, a cab 5 located on the left side of the front frame 1, and a front wheel mudguard. The right side of the installation area is unobstructed, and the battery swapping module assembly 2 has a similar shape to the side corresponding to the mudguard 6, making full use of the available space. The front frame 1 includes a base plate, a horizontally mounted mounting plate located above the base plate, and a support plate located between the base plate and the mounting plate. The base plate is slightly inclined upwards, and the base plate supports the mounting plate through the support plate. The battery swapping module assembly 2 sits on the mounting plate, ensuring the stability of the battery swapping module assembly 2 during installation.

[0042] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the battery swapping module assembly 2 includes a power battery housing 21, a power battery pack, a control housing 22, a high-voltage box, a power control box, a thermal management unit, and a thermal management expansion tank. The power battery housing 21 is rectangular in shape, and the power battery pack is stacked and arranged inside the power battery housing 21. Lifting lugs 211, which are hook-shaped, are provided at the four corners of the top of the power battery housing 21. The lifting lugs 211 cooperate with a lifting device, which is H-shaped and includes a crossbeam and booms at both ends of the crossbeam. The booms have protruding posts at both ends that cooperate with the lifting lugs. The control box 22 is located at the rear of the power battery box 21. The control box 22 is irregularly shaped, with its bottom surface higher than that of the power battery box 21. A clearance space is formed between the bottom surface of the control box 22 and the side surface of the power battery box 21. The top of the control box 22 is higher than that of the power battery box 21. Heat dissipation holes are also provided around the bottom of the control box 22. The high-voltage box, power control box, thermal management unit, and thermal management expansion tank are located inside the control box 22, forming an integrated module with the power battery for battery swapping. After battery swapping, the top surface of the power battery box 21 of the battery swapping module assembly 2 is flush with the top surface of the cover 4.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, the battery swapping module assembly 2 achieves high-voltage electrical connection and low-voltage communication connection with the vehicle through two sets of self-aligning battery swapping connectors. The self-aligning battery swapping connectors include a vehicle-end connector 8 located on the front frame 1 and a battery-end connector 7 located on the battery swapping module assembly 2. The connectors themselves have a floating function, which can eliminate the error of docking adjustment during the battery swapping process and reduce the impact during docking. At the start of battery swapping, a high-voltage disconnection check must be performed. The high-voltage connection and disconnection are controlled by the key switch in the driver's cab 5, and the high-voltage connection and disconnection status is reflected by a red indicator light installed on the right side skin of the battery swapping module assembly 2. When the red indicator light on the right side of the battery swapping module assembly 2 is not lit, it indicates that the high-voltage connection of the battery swapping module assembly 2 has been disconnected, and the battery swapping operation can be performed; otherwise, the battery swapping operation cannot be performed. The battery connector 7 is located at the bottom of the control box 22, the vehicle connector 8 is located on the mounting bracket 9, the mounting bracket 9 is located on the front frame 1, and the mounting bracket 9 is located in the clearance space. The side of the battery swapping module assembly 2 is provided with a movable cover plate 221 corresponding to the clearance space position. When swapping batteries, the movable cover plate 221 can be opened to observe the docking status of the connector.

[0044] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, the guiding mechanism includes a transverse guide post 11, a longitudinal guide post 12, a positioning pin 13, a left-side guiding alignment structure 15, a rear-side guiding alignment structure 17, and a front-side guiding alignment structure 16. The transverse guide post 11, the longitudinal guide post 12, and the positioning pin 13 are located at the bottom of the battery swapping module assembly 2. The bottom surface of the battery swapping module assembly 2 mates with the mounting plate. The mounting plate has a positioning pin hole 18 that mates with the positioning pin 13. The front frame 1 has a guide groove 19 that mates with the transverse guide post 11 and the longitudinal guide post 12. By mates with the guide groove 19 on the front frame 1, the swinging motion of the battery swapping module assembly 2 is restricted while guiding the battery swapping module assembly 2 to be correctly installed in the corresponding position. A horizontal guide post 11 and a vertical guide post 12 form a set of guide components. The horizontal guide post 11 and the vertical guide post 12 are perpendicular to each other. The bottom of the power battery box 21 is provided with four sets of rectangularly distributed guide components. The horizontal guide post 11 and the vertical guide post 12 each include a vertical plate and a 45° inclined plate connected to the vertical plate. The guide groove 19 is provided with a wear-resistant limiting plate 191 that is attached to the vertical plate. The guide post first guides the alignment and then the positioning pin 13 accurately positions it. The left-side guide alignment structure 15 is mounted on the cab 5, the front-side guide alignment structure 16 is mounted on the front frame 1 and located in front of the installation area, and the rear-side guide alignment structure 17 is mounted on the front frame 1 and located behind the installation area. The left-side guide alignment structure 15, the rear-side guide alignment structure 17, and the front-side guide alignment structure 16 all include a column and a wedge at the top of the column. The left-side guide alignment structure 15 and the front-side guide alignment structure 16 are at the same height and higher than the rear-side guide alignment structure 17. The top wedge of the guide alignment structure has a 20° angle. As the battery swapping module assembly 2 enters the guide surface, the left and front guide alignment structures are relatively high, and the right angle formed by the two serves as the main alignment reference during hoisting. The rear guide alignment structure 17 is relatively low. After the battery swapping module assembly 2 has been aligned and lowered by the left and front first-level guides, the swing amplitude of the battery swapping module assembly 2 has been relatively reduced. The rear guide alignment structure 17, together with the left and front guide alignment structures 16, form a three-sided constraint, further reducing the swing amplitude of the battery swapping module assembly 2, and guiding the battery swapping module assembly 2 to prepare for the next stage of the guide stroke.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the battery swapping module assembly 2 is provided with a vibration damping pad 14 to isolate vibration and reduce its impact on the battery swapping module assembly 2 and its internal equipment. The sides of the battery swapping module assembly 2 are provided with buffer wear-resistant plates 10, specifically on the front, left, and rear sides, to meet the requirements of cooperating with the battery swapping structure of the front frame 1 during the battery swapping process and reduce the impact of collisions and friction on the battery swapping module assembly 2.

[0046] like Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the locking mechanism 3 includes a locking pin working hole on the support plate, a locking pin seat 31 at the bottom of the battery swapping module assembly 2, a locking pin 36 that mates with the locking pin working hole and the locking pin seat 31, a limit switch 37 for detecting the position of the locking pin 36, an operating rod 33 connected to the locking pin 36, a handwheel 35 that drives the operating rod 33 to rotate, and an operating rod seat 34. The front frame 1 is provided with a pin cylinder 32, which is welded to the bottom surface of the mounting plate. The pin cylinder is U-shaped, and the locking pin 36 passes through the pin cylinder 32. The side of the front frame 1 is provided with an operating compartment, and the operating rod seat 34 is located in the operating compartment. The operating rod 33 includes a rod and a sleeve fitted on the rod. The operating rod seat 34 includes a fixing plate and a cylindrical nut located in the middle of the fixing plate. The sleeve is inserted into the cylindrical nut and threadedly engaged with it. The front end of the operating lever is rotatably engaged with a locking pin. The front end of the operating lever is provided with a lever baffle 38, which is locked to the lever by an internal hexagonal screw. The locking pin 36 consists of a small-diameter section 361 and a large-diameter section 362. The end face of the large-diameter section 362 is provided with a groove 3621. A double-direction thrust bearing 39 is provided within the groove 3621, and the bearing is sealed within the groove 3621 by a pin cover plate 30. The front end of the operating lever 33 extends into the groove 3621, and the lever baffle 38 and the double-direction thrust bearing 39... To achieve a rotating connection, the locking pin 36 can extend and retract with the pushing and pulling of the operating lever 33, but is unaffected by the rotation of the operating lever 33. This reduces the force required by the operating lever 33 to control the locking pin 36, while also preventing the operating lever 33 from becoming stuck due to the locking pin 36, and reducing wear between the locking pin 36 and the pin cylinder 32. The small-diameter section 361 of the locking pin 36 is solid and is the working section that mates with the pin hole on the pin seat 31 at the bottom of the battery swapping module assembly 2. This embodiment has two sets of locking mechanisms 3, each corresponding to one of the two locking pin indicator lights on the outer side of the battery swapping module assembly 2. Two sets of locking mechanisms are used to meet the battery swapping locking requirements. The two sets of locking mechanisms are installed independently, distributing the working load and providing redundancy. Based on the installation position of the battery swapping module assembly 2, the two sets of locking mechanisms are arranged below the bottom plate of the battery swapping module assembly 2 mounting compartment, in the lateral direction of the vehicle, with the operating handwheel facing the right side of the vehicle for easy operation.
