Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery swapping cabinet technology, specifically to an inner liner structure suitable for battery swapping cabinets. Background Technology

[0002] The TEC battery swapping station is an intelligent battery replacement device designed specifically for electric two-wheelers. Its core function is to enable rapid battery replacement by scanning a code, solving the problem of low charging efficiency in traditional charging methods.

[0003] With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles, the demand for battery swapping cabinets, which provide battery replacement and charging services for electric vehicles, is growing rapidly. Currently, the internal structure of existing battery swapping cabinets has some shortcomings. For example, unreasonable internal area division leads to interference between battery storage, wiring, and heat dissipation, affecting the normal operation and lifespan of the cabinet. Furthermore, the messy wiring in some cabinets hinders maintenance and management, and poor heat dissipation may cause safety hazards due to overheating of the batteries. Therefore, there is a need for an optimized internal structure for battery swapping cabinets that features neat wiring and excellent heat dissipation. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems by providing an inner liner structure suitable for battery swapping cabinets.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An internal structure for a battery swapping cabinet includes an inner body housed within the cabinet. The inner body divides the cabinet into a battery compartment area for battery installation, a wiring area for cable routing, and a heat dissipation area for ventilation and heat dissipation. This zoning ensures that the battery installation, wiring, and heat dissipation functional areas are independent of each other, avoiding mutual interference and improving the operational stability of the battery swapping cabinet.

[0007] Preferably, the inner liner body includes a U-shaped frame at the bottom of the cabinet, and support frames are installed at the upper ends of the four corners of the U-shaped frame. The U-shaped frame and the support frames together constitute the basic support structure of the inner liner body, ensuring the stability and load-bearing capacity of the inner liner structure.

[0008] Preferably, a cable tray is installed in the cable tray area. The cable tray is used to organize and fix the cables, making the cables more orderly and facilitating later maintenance and repair.

[0009] Preferably, the battery compartment area is equipped with multiple sets of inner frame frames for storing batteries and which can be pulled out from the outside of the cabinet. The pull-out design facilitates battery replacement and placement.

[0010] Preferably, the front of the cabinet has a first ventilation hole and a second ventilation hole, which provide ventilation channels for the heat dissipation area and the wiring area, respectively, which helps air circulation and improves the heat dissipation effect.

[0011] Preferably, the upper part of the cabinet has multiple air inlets, and a cooling fan is installed at the lower end of each air inlet. The cooling fan delivers cooling air through the air inlets to the upper part of the L-shaped structure of the heat dissipation area. The first ventilation hole connects to one end of the L-shaped structure of the heat dissipation area. When the cooling fan is working, it sends external cool air into the upper part of the L-shaped structure of the heat dissipation area through the air inlets, and then exhausts it through the first ventilation hole, forming a good airflow for cooling and effectively reducing the temperature of the heat dissipation area.

[0012] Preferably, the second ventilation hole is connected to the wiring area, so that the heat in the wiring area can be dissipated through the second ventilation hole, and the excessive temperature of the wiring area can be avoided from affecting the performance of the circuit.

[0013] Preferably, a partition plate is installed inside the U-shaped frame, and multiple sets of mounting brackets are installed on the partition plate. The cable tray is installed between two sets of mounting brackets by bolts. This installation method is stable and reliable, and facilitates the installation and disassembly of the cable tray. The cable tray has multiple sets of cable outlets, which connect the cable tray area and the heat dissipation area, facilitating the connection and arrangement of lines between the cable tray area and the heat dissipation area.

[0014] Preferably, the inner liner frame is slidably mounted between the mounting brackets, and a U-shaped fixed track is installed between the two mounting brackets. Both ends of the inner liner frame are equipped with U-shaped guide rails for guidance. A first and second roller are mounted on one end of the U-shaped guide rail near the heat dissipation area, and both rollers can roll inside the U-shaped fixed track. An auxiliary roller is mounted on the other end of the U-shaped guide rail. Through the cooperation of the U-shaped fixed track, the U-shaped guide rail, and the various rollers, the inner liner frame can slide smoothly, facilitating the insertion and removal of the battery.

[0015] Preferably, a third heat dissipation hole is provided on both sides of the inner frame, and the third heat dissipation hole is connected to the wiring area. A fourth heat dissipation hole is provided on the side of the inner frame closer to the heat dissipation area, and a fifth heat dissipation hole is provided at the bottom of the inner frame. The arrangement of these heat dissipation holes allows the heat generated by the battery inside the inner frame to be dissipated through multiple pathways, further improving the heat dissipation effect and ensuring that the battery operates at a suitable temperature.

[0016] With the above structure, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. Reasonable zoning: The cabinet is divided into a battery compartment area, a cabling area, and a heat dissipation area, allowing each functional area to work independently, avoiding mutual interference, and improving the operational stability of the battery swapping cabinet.

[0018] 2. Neat cable management: The cable tray organizes and secures the cables, and the cable outlets facilitate connections between different areas, making it easier for future maintenance and repair.

[0019] 3. Excellent heat dissipation: The design of multiple ventilation holes and heat dissipation holes, combined with the cooling fan, creates a good airflow for heat dissipation, which can effectively reduce the temperature in various areas, ensure the normal operation of the battery and circuitry, and reduce safety hazards.

[0020] 4. Easy to operate: The inner frame adopts a sliding installation method, and the combination of guide rails and rollers makes it easier and more convenient to put in and take out the battery.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] The present invention will now be described in further detail in conjunction with the full text.

[0031] Combined with appendix Figures 1-4 The inner liner body 2 of this utility model is installed inside the cabinet 1, dividing the cabinet into a battery compartment area 3, a wiring area 4, and a heat dissipation area 5. The U-shaped frame 201 is fixed to the bottom of the cabinet, and the support frames 202 at the four corners provide overall support.

[0032] In specific implementations of this utility model, the cross-sectional dimensions of the rotary frame 201 and the height range of the support frame 202 are limited. The cross-sectional width is 5-10cm, and the height of the support frame 202 is adapted to the height of the cabinet 1.

[0033] In a specific implementation of this utility model, the cable tray 401 of the cable tray area 4 is fixed between the mounting brackets 204 of the partition plate 203 by bolts. The cable is connected to the battery compartment area through the cable outlet 402 of the cable tray 401, and at the same time, it is connected to the heat dissipation area 5 through the cable outlet to enhance heat dissipation.

[0034] In this invention, U-shaped guide rails 12 are installed on both sides of the inner frame 6 of the battery compartment area 3, cooperating with the U-shaped fixed track 11 between the mounting frame 204. Sliding is achieved through the first roller 13, the second roller 10, and the auxiliary roller 14. When removing or placing batteries, the inner frame 6 can be pulled out of the cabinet along the track, and pushed back into its original position after the operation. The clearance between the U-shaped fixed track 11 and the U-shaped guide rail 12 is limited to no more than 2mm to ensure sliding stability. The first roller 13, the second roller 10, and the auxiliary roller 14 are made of wear-resistant nylon.

[0035] In specific implementation of this utility model, during the heat dissipation process, the cooling fan draws in cold air through the air inlet 9 at the top of the cabinet and delivers it to the upper part of the L-shaped structure of the heat dissipation area 5. The airflow flows along the L-shaped channel and is discharged through the first ventilation hole 7. The heat generated by the battery enters the wiring area 4 through the third heat dissipation hole 601 of the inner frame 6 and is then discharged through the second ventilation hole 8. At the same time, it directly enters the heat dissipation area 5 through the fourth heat dissipation hole 602. The fifth heat dissipation hole 603 at the bottom assists in the downward dissipation of heat, forming an all-round heat dissipation cycle. The rated power of the cooling fan is 5-15W and the wind speed is not less than 2m / s, making the heat dissipation function more specific.

[0036] This utility model effectively solves the problems of internal space utilization and heat dissipation in battery swapping cabinets through reasonable structural design, and is suitable for promotion and application in various battery swapping equipment.

[0037] This utility model provides an internal structure for a battery swapping cabinet. Through reasonable division of cabinet space and optimized component coordination, it achieves coordinated operation of battery storage, cable management, and heat dissipation. The specific working principle is as follows:

[0038] 1. Spatial zoning and functional isolation:

[0039] The inner liner 2 divides the cabinet 1 into three independent areas:

[0040] Battery compartment area 3: Batteries are stored through a pull-out inner frame 6. The U-shaped guide rails 12 on both sides of the inner frame 6 cooperate with the U-shaped fixed rails 11 between the mounting frame 204. With the help of the rolling action of the first roller 13, the second roller 10 and the auxiliary roller 14, the frame can be pulled out smoothly, which facilitates the removal and maintenance of batteries.

[0041] Cable routing area 4: The cables are organized by the cable tray 401 and connected to the battery compartment area 3 in an orderly manner through the cable outlet 402 of the cable tray 401. At the same time, the cable outlet 402 is connected to the heat dissipation area 5 to prevent the cables from getting tangled and to assist in heat dissipation.

[0042] Heat dissipation area 5: It has an L-shaped structure and serves as a dedicated heat dissipation channel. It is connected to battery compartment area 3 and cable area 4 through heat dissipation holes to centrally dissipate heat.

[0043] 2. Cooling system operation:

[0044] The air inlet 9 at the top of the cabinet 1, together with the cooling fan at the bottom, introduces external cold air into the upper part of the L-shaped structure of the heat dissipation area 5. The airflow flows along the L-shaped channel, absorbs heat, and is then discharged through the first ventilation hole 7 on the front of the cabinet.

[0045] The heat generated by the battery is transferred to the cable area 4 through the third heat dissipation hole 601 of the inner frame 6, and then discharged through the second ventilation hole 8; at the same time, the heat can directly enter the heat dissipation area 5 through the fourth heat dissipation hole 602, and the fifth heat dissipation hole 603 at the bottom assists in the downward dissipation of heat, forming a multi-path heat dissipation cycle.

[0046] 3. Structural support and stability:

[0047] The U-shaped frame 201 at the bottom of the cabinet and the support frames 202 at the four corners provide stable support for the overall structure. The mounting bracket 204 on the partition plate 203 not only fixes the cable tray 401, but also provides a foundation for the sliding of the inner frame 6, ensuring the structural stability when the components work together.

[0048] Through the above design, the structure achieves a balance between convenient battery placement and removal, orderly wiring, and efficient heat dissipation, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the battery swapping cabinet.

[0049] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the embodiments shown throughout the text are only one of the embodiments of the present invention. The actual structure is not limited to this. In conclusion, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by this description and designs a similar structure and embodiment without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such design should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
