Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery swapping stations for new energy vehicles, and in particular to a battery swapping platform with heating and heat preservation functions. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, during the battery swapping process at new energy vehicle battery swapping stations, the platforms are prone to icing due to winter temperatures dropping to -20°C or even lower in some northern regions. This can lead to equipment malfunctions and swapping failures. Furthermore, prolonged exposure to rain and snow reduces the lifespan of the equipment. This situation has become a major obstacle to the widespread adoption of battery swapping in cold regions. Therefore, designing a battery swapping platform with heating and insulation functions is particularly necessary to ensure that the platform maintains a suitable temperature during the swapping process, thereby improving the success rate and extending the equipment's lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide a battery swapping platform with heating and heat preservation functions, so that the battery swapping platform can be kept at a suitable ambient temperature during the operation of the new energy vehicle battery swapping station, so as to prevent icing and thus improve the success rate of battery swapping and avoid premature failure of the battery swapping station.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A battery swapping platform with heating and heat preservation functions is provided. The battery swapping platform is a work station for the installation and replacement of electric vehicle batteries. It includes a container with an entrance and an exit at both ends for battery swapping vehicles to enter and exit. The other sides are enclosed walls. The battery swapping mechanism is installed on the bottom plate of the container. A hot air curtain device is installed on the top inner side of the container near the entrance and exit. The air outlet of the hot air curtain device is oriented downward. Roller shutter devices are installed on the outer sides of the entrance and exit.

[0006] Furthermore, the battery swapping mechanism includes a four-wheel alignment mechanism and a lifting mechanism. The four-wheel alignment mechanism can restrict the vehicle's front-to-back and left-to-right position inside the container, while the lifting mechanism can drive the four-wheel alignment mechanism to move up and down.

[0007] Furthermore, the platform also includes a track for guiding the battery swapping vehicles.

[0008] Furthermore, the four-wheel alignment mechanism includes a front wheel alignment component and a rear wheel alignment component;

[0009] The front wheel alignment assembly includes symmetrically arranged front V-groove rollers and front clamping push plates, which can be driven to move closer or further apart by a front drive unit; the rear wheel alignment assembly includes symmetrically arranged rear flat rollers and rear clamping push plates, which can be driven to move closer or further apart by a rear drive unit.

[0010] Both the front drive unit and the rear drive unit include a drive motor and a transmission screw. The front clamping push plate or the rear clamping push plate is connected to the transmission screw. The drive motor drives the transmission screw to rotate, thereby achieving clamping and positioning of the vehicle in the left and right directions.

[0011] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes four sets of lifting columns, each set of lifting columns includes a lifting seat and a drive assembly. The drive assembly can drive the lifting seat to move up and down, and the lifting seat is connected to the frame of the four-wheel alignment mechanism through a lifting hinge.

[0012] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a lifting motor, a trapezoidal lead screw, and a lifting guide rail. The trapezoidal lead screw and the lifting guide rail are arranged along the height direction. The lifting seat has a slider that is slidably connected to the lifting guide rail and a connecting block that is connected to the trapezoidal lead screw. The lifting motor can drive the trapezoidal lead screw to rotate, thereby causing the connecting seat to move up and down along the height direction.

[0013] Furthermore, the container is equipped with temperature sensors inside, and vehicle-sensing radars are installed at the entrance and exit. The temperature sensors can collect real-time temperature data inside the container. The vehicle-sensing radars are used to detect battery-swapping vehicles. A controller is also included, which receives signals from the temperature sensors and vehicle-sensing radars.

[0014] The controller is connected to a temperature sensor, which generates a control signal based on the sensor's detection signal to open or close the hot air curtain. The controller is also connected to a vehicle radar sensor, which generates a control signal based on the radar's detection signal to open or close the roller shutter door device.

[0015] Furthermore, the hot air curtain device includes a heating unit and a cross-flow fan. The heating unit heats the air entering the cross-flow fan, which then blows the heated air vertically downwards. Hot air curtains are formed at both ends of the platform body to isolate cold outside air.

[0016] Furthermore, the roller shutter device includes a roller mechanism and a roller shutter body, which can be rolled up or unrolled around the roller mechanism to close or open the entrance and exit.

[0017] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are:

[0018] By designing a battery swapping platform with heating and insulation functions, the problem of equipment failure caused by icing of the battery swapping platform during operation in cold regions has been effectively solved. Through the combination of a hot air curtain device and a roller shutter device, the inside of the battery swapping platform can maintain a suitable ambient temperature, avoiding icing during the swapping process, thereby improving the success rate of battery swapping and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0033] In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0034] This specific embodiment discloses in detail a battery swapping platform with heating and heat preservation functions, such as... Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the platform includes components such as a container 1, a battery swapping mechanism 11, a hot air curtain device 2, a roller shutter door device 3, a temperature sensor 4, and a vehicle sensing radar 5. The battery swapping mechanism is specifically designed for electric vehicle battery installation and removal. The front and rear of the container serve as the vehicle entrance and exit, respectively, while the remaining sides are enclosed walls. The hot air curtain device is installed on the top inner side of the platform container, near the entrance and exit, to heat the platform and prevent internal heat loss. The roller shutter door device is installed on the outside of the container entrance and exit, featuring rapid opening and closing. Normally kept closed, the roller shutter door opens quickly when the vehicle sensing radar detects a vehicle approaching the battery swapping platform and closes promptly after the vehicle passes, further reducing heat loss.

[0035] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the battery swapping mechanism includes components such as a four-wheel alignment mechanism 12, a lifting mechanism 13, and a trolley travel track 14. During the operation of the battery swapping platform, the vehicle is positioned by the four-wheel alignment mechanism in the front, rear, left, and right directions; the lifting mechanism raises the vehicle to a designated height to avoid the battery swapping operation space; and the trolley travel track is used to guide the trolley's movement.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, the four-wheel alignment mechanism includes a front wheel alignment assembly and a rear wheel alignment assembly. The front wheel alignment assembly includes symmetrically arranged front V-groove rollers 121 and front clamping push plates 123, while the rear wheel alignment assembly includes symmetrically arranged rear flat rollers 122 and rear clamping push plates 124. When the vehicle enters the battery swapping mechanism, the front wheels fall onto the front V-groove rollers, and the rear wheels fall onto the rear flat rollers, achieving front-to-rear positioning. The front and rear clamping push plates move towards the center under the action of the drive unit, clamping the vehicle tires and completing left-to-right positioning. The drive unit includes a drive motor 125 and a transmission lead screw 126.

[0037] like Figure 6As shown, the lifting mechanism includes four sets of lifting columns, including a lifting drive motor 131, a transmission trapezoidal lead screw 132, a lifting guide rail 133, a lifting seat 134, and a connecting hinge 135. When the vehicle is lifted, the lifting drive motor drives the trapezoidal lead screw to rotate, causing the lifting seat to rise, which in turn lifts the connecting hinge. The lifting guide rail provides guidance. The trapezoidal lead screw has good self-locking properties to ensure safety in case of accidental vehicle fall. The connecting hinge is connected to the four-wheel alignment mechanism frame, lifting the four-wheel alignment mechanism and the vehicle to the designated height.

[0038] like Figure 7 As shown, the hot air curtain device includes a heating device 21 and a cross-flow fan 22, which realize the functions of heating and forming an isolation air curtain. In specific operation, the temperature sensor on the platform monitors the temperature in real time. When the temperature is lower than the set value, the heating device starts heating; at the same time, the cross-flow fan turns on and blows air in a vertical direction, forming a hot air curtain 23 at both ends of the battery swapping platform (as shown by the dotted line in the figure), blocking the entry of cold air from the outside.

[0039] like Figure 8 As shown, the roller shutter door device is installed on the outside of the platform's entrance and exit, including a roller mechanism 31 and a roller shutter door body 32. The roller shutter door body can be rolled up or unfolded around the roller mechanism to close or open the entrance and exit. The roller shutter door body is made of lightweight PVC material, featuring rapid opening and closing characteristics, completing the opening and closing within three seconds, and normally remaining closed. When the vehicle sensing radar detects a vehicle entering, the roller shutter door opens quickly and closes promptly after the vehicle passes, ensuring that heat is not lost during the battery swapping process.

[0040] The specific operation process is as follows: The vehicle arrives at the platform entrance—the entrance vehicle sensor radar detects the vehicle—the entrance roller shutter door opens quickly—the vehicle enters the platform—the entrance roller shutter door closes—the battery swapping operation begins—the battery swapping is completed—the vehicle moves forward a certain distance—the exit vehicle sensor radar detects the vehicle—the exit roller shutter door opens quickly—the vehicle drives away—the exit roller shutter door closes—the battery swapping process ends.

[0041] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "setting" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or setting, a detachable connection or setting, or an integral connection or setting. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
