[0002] With increasing environmental awareness and higher demands for resource conservation and energy efficiency, new energy electric ships offer significant advantages in technological innovation and shipping efficiency. Electric ships are gaining acceptance among ship owners, and their fleet size is increasing. Among these, battery-swapping electric ships are gaining popularity due to their efficient battery-swapping process. However, the battery-swapping equipment on these ships, due to mechanical limitations, cannot meet the requirements of battery swapping under significant ship tilting angles. This severely restricts the flexibility and efficiency of battery swapping on electric ships. Therefore, how to complete the battery swapping process on electric ships under significant tilting angles has become a pressing issue. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a battery-swapping vessel that solves the problem that electric vessels cannot perform battery swapping when the hull tilts at a large angle.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a battery-swapping vessel, comprising:

[0005] The ship body is equipped with a battery compartment, which can accommodate a power battery box.

[0006] A support plate is disposed between the ship body and the battery compartment. The lower two ends of the support plate are rotatably connected to the ship body through a first rotating shaft and a first telescopic component, respectively. The upper two ends of the support plate are rotatably connected to the bottom plate of the battery compartment through a second rotating shaft and a second telescopic component, respectively. The axes of the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are perpendicular to each other.

The first lower support ears are rotatably connected to the second lower support ears through the first rotating shaft, thereby forming a first gap between the support plate and the deck.

[0010] Optionally, the upper two ends of the support plate are respectively provided with first upper support ears, and the lower side of the bottom plate of the battery compartment is provided with second upper support ears that are rotatably connected to the two first upper support ears respectively. The first upper support ears are rotatably connected to the second upper support ears through the second rotating shaft, so that a second gap is formed between the support plate and the bottom plate of the battery compartment.

[0011] Optionally, the two ends of the first telescopic component are hinged to the ship body and the support plate, respectively, and the two ends of the second telescopic component are hinged to the support plate and the bottom plate of the battery compartment, respectively.

[0023] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail. While preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the present invention more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a battery-swapping vessel, comprising:

[0025] The ship body 1 is equipped with a battery compartment 2, which can accommodate a power battery box 3.

[0026] Support plate 4 is disposed between the ship body 1 and the battery compartment 2. The lower two ends of the support plate 4 are rotatably connected to the ship body 1 through the first rotating shaft 5 and the first telescopic component 6, respectively. The upper two ends of the support plate 4 are rotatably connected to the bottom plate of the battery compartment 2 through the second rotating shaft 7 and the second telescopic component 8, respectively. The axes of the first rotating shaft 5 and the second rotating shaft 7 are perpendicular to each other.

[0027] Specifically, to address the problem in existing technologies where electric ships cannot perform battery swapping under significant hull tilt angles, this utility model provides a battery swapping vessel. The vessel body 1 is equipped with a battery compartment 2, and the power battery box 3 within the battery compartment 2 serves as the battery swapping battery box, allowing for rapid energy replenishment by replacing the power battery box 3. A support plate 4, positioned between the battery compartment 2 and the vessel body 1, is rotatably connected to the bottom plates of both the vessel body 1 and the battery compartment 2 via a first rotating shaft 5 and a second rotating shaft 7, respectively. The first rotating shaft 5 and the second rotating shaft 7 are perpendicular. When the first telescopic component 6 extends or retracts, the support plate 4 can drive the battery compartment 2 above it to rotate in one direction, overcoming the tilt of the vessel body 1 and the battery compartment 2 in that first direction. At the second telescopic component... When component 8 extends or retracts, it can drive the battery compartment 2 above it to rotate in another direction perpendicular to it, overcoming the tilt of the ship body 1 and the battery compartment 2 in this second direction. Through the extension and retraction adjustment of the first extension component 6 and the second extension component 8, the tilt angle of the battery compartment 2 can be reduced when the tilt angle of the ship body 1 is large, thereby improving the adaptability of the ship body 1 to the tilt angle of the ship body 1 during battery swapping, reducing the limitation of the tilt of the ship body 1 on battery swapping, and meeting the battery swapping requirements of various scenarios of current electric ships. The adjustment of the first extension component 6 and the second extension component 8 can be based on the ship tilt display screen in the control room of the ship body 1, which displays the measurement results of the level instrument equipped on the ship.

[0028] In this embodiment, the battery compartment 2 is located above the propulsion compartment 9 of the ship body 1, and the steering gear compartment 10 is located on one side of the propulsion compartment 9.

[0029] Optionally, the battery compartment 2 is located above the deck 11 of the ship body 1, and the lower ends of the support plate 4 are rotatably connected to the deck 11 via the first pivot 5 and the first telescopic component 6, respectively.

[0030] Specifically, the battery compartment 2 is located above the deck 11 and is supported by the support plate 4.

[0031] Optionally, the first rotating shaft 5 and the second rotating shaft 7 are respectively arranged along the Y direction and X direction of the ship body 1.

[0032] Specifically, the first rotating shaft 5 extends along the front and rear direction of the ship body 1. When the ship body 1 tilts in the front and rear direction, the extension and retraction of the first telescopic component 6 can cause the support plate 4 and the battery compartment 2 to rotate, thereby reducing or overcoming the tilt in the front and rear direction. The second rotating shaft 7 extends along the left and right direction of the ship body 1. When the ship body 1 tilts in the left and right direction, the extension and retraction of the second telescopic component 8 can cause the battery compartment 2 to rotate, thereby reducing or overcoming the tilt in the left and right direction.

[0033] Optionally, the lower ends of the support plate 4 are respectively provided with first lower support ears 12, and the upper side of the deck 11 is provided with second lower support ears 13 that are rotatably connected to the two first lower support ears 12 respectively. The first lower support ears 12 are rotatably connected to the second lower support ears 13 through the first rotating shaft 5, so that a first gap is formed between the support plate 4 and the deck 11.

[0034] Specifically, when the ship body 1 is in a horizontal state, the first gap between the deck 11 and the support plate 4 is uniform, that is, the support plate 4 is horizontally set above the deck 11.

[0035] Optionally, the upper two ends of the support plate 4 are respectively provided with first upper support ears 14, and the lower side of the bottom plate of the battery compartment 2 is provided with second upper support ears 15 that are rotatably connected to the two first upper support ears 14 respectively. The first upper support ears 14 are rotatably connected to the second upper support ears 15 through the second rotating shaft 7, so that a second gap is formed between the support plate 4 and the bottom plate of the battery compartment 2.

[0036] Specifically, when the support plate 4 is in a horizontal state, the second gap is uniform between the support plate 4 and the bottom plate of the battery compartment 2, that is, the bottom plate of the battery compartment 2 is horizontally set above the support plate 4.

[0037] Optionally, the two ends of the first telescopic component 6 are hinged to the ship body 1 and the support plate 4 respectively, and the two ends of the second telescopic component 8 are hinged to the support plate 4 and the bottom plate of the battery compartment 2 respectively.

[0038] Specifically, the shell end and telescopic end of the first telescopic component 6 are hinged to the ship body 1 and the support plate 4. When the telescopic end of the first telescopic component 6 extends, it can increase the first gap at that point, thereby causing the support plate 4 and the battery compartment 2 to rotate. The second telescopic component 8 works in the same way as the first telescopic component 6.

[0039] Optionally, it also includes an electronic level and a control unit. The electronic level is located on the top of the battery compartment 2, and the control unit is connected to the electronic level, the first telescopic component 6 and the second telescopic component 8, and can control the extension and retraction of the first telescopic component 6 and the second telescopic component 8 according to the detection result of the electronic level.

[0040] Specifically, the adjustment of the first telescopic component 6 and the second telescopic component 8 can be done manually according to the display of the hull tilt screen in the control room of the ship body 1. Alternatively, an electronic level can be specially installed on the top of the battery compartment 2 to improve the accuracy of tilt detection of the battery compartment 2. The battery compartment 2 can be automatically controlled by the control unit. When the electronic level detects that the ship body 1 is tilted in the fore-and-aft direction, the control unit controls the extension and retraction of the first telescopic component 6 to reduce or overcome the tilt of the battery compartment 2 in order to meet the battery swapping tilt angle requirements of the battery swapping equipment. Such control methods and control programs are very simple, and the control unit can achieve such simple telescopic control using a PLC.

[0041] Optionally, two electronic levels are provided, which are used to measure the tilt of the battery compartment 2 in the X and Y directions, respectively.

[0042] Specifically, to further improve the adjustment accuracy of the battery compartment 2 and further simplify the control, two electronic levels can be installed on the top of the battery compartment 2 to measure the tilt of the battery compartment 2 in the X and Y directions separately and control the extension and retraction of the first telescopic component 6 and the second telescopic component 8 respectively.

[0043] Optionally, the first telescopic component 6 and the second telescopic component 8 are electric cylinders.

[0044] Specifically, the first telescopic component 6 and the second telescopic component 8 are equipped with electric cylinders for easy manual or automatic operation, and have high precision and response speed.

[0045] Optionally, a battery swapping robot 18 is installed inside the battery compartment 2.

[0046] Specifically, the battery swapping equipment inside the battery compartment 2 is the battery swapping robot 18. The battery swapping robot 18 generally includes a moving mechanism and a battery box gripper, and is used for replacing the power battery box 3.

[0047] In summary, when the battery-swapping vessel provided by this utility model is used, it can be a transport vessel with battery-swapping function or a dedicated battery-swapping vessel for other vessels. The battery compartment 2 mounted on its deck 11 is equipped with multiple power battery boxes 3 and a battery-swapping robot 18. When the vessel body 1 is undergoing battery swapping, since the vessel body 1 is in the water, it is inevitable that there will be forward and backward and / or left and right tilting. In this embodiment, the first rotating shaft 5 and the second rotating shaft 7 are respectively located at the front end and the left end of the battery compartment 2. Correspondingly, the first telescopic component 6 and the second telescopic component 8 are respectively located at the rear end and the right end of the battery compartment 2. When the first electronic level 16 detects that the front end of the battery compartment 2 is lower than the rear end, it controls the telescopic end of the first telescopic component 6 to retract, reducing the height of the rear end of the battery compartment 2. When the second electronic level 17 detects that the left end of the battery compartment 2 is higher than the right end, it controls the telescopic end of the second telescopic component 8 to extend, increasing the height of the right end of the battery compartment 2. This reduces or overcomes the tilt of the battery compartment 2, allowing the battery swapping process to proceed smoothly and efficiently.

[0048] The various embodiments of the present invention have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
