Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery replacement technology, and in particular to a battery replacement platform with positioning function. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the new energy industry, batteries, as core components of energy storage and power, are increasingly widely used in electric vehicles, energy storage power stations, and construction machinery. In these fields, battery replacement and maintenance are crucial for ensuring the continuous transportation of equipment. As an important device for achieving efficient battery replacement, the positioning accuracy and ease of operation of the battery replacement platform directly affect the replacement efficiency and safety. Therefore, we urgently need a battery replacement platform with positioning capabilities.

[0003] Currently, battery replacement platforms have the following shortcomings during use: 1. During the adjustment process, the battery may fall off due to vibration or displacement, posing a potential installation hazard; 2. After the battery is placed on the platform, it is not convenient to adjust the horizontal position of the battery, which restricts the installation position. As a result, the battery replacement platform cannot be adjusted to the installation area where the battery is located, causing a deviation between the battery and the platform installation interface, which seriously affects the battery replacement efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is: to address the issue that existing battery replacement methods are prone to detachment and that the installation interface between the battery and the platform affects battery replacement efficiency. This utility model provides a battery replacement platform with positioning function. By improving the structure of the battery replacement platform, it avoids battery detachment during replacement and enables precise docking between the battery and the platform installation interface, thereby improving battery installation efficiency.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a battery replacement platform with positioning function, including: a support platform, a first driving mechanism, a second driving mechanism, and two positioning clamps. The support platform is used to place the battery to be replaced. The first driving mechanism includes: a first driving part and a second driving part. The driving end of the first driving part is connected to the support platform, and the driving end of the second driving part is connected to the first driving part. The first driving part is used to drive the support platform to move along the Y-axis direction, so that the battery moves closer to or further away from the platform mounting interface. The second driving part is used to drive the support platform to move along the Z-axis direction to adjust the height of the battery. The second driving mechanism is located on the side of the support platform away from the platform mounting interface and on the side of the support platform away from the first driving mechanism, and is connected to the support platform. The two positioning clamps are located on both sides of the support platform and are slidably connected to the support platform. The second driving mechanism is used to drive the positioning clamps to move along the X-axis direction, so that the two positioning clamps move relative to each other, thereby positioning and clamping the battery to be replaced.

[0006] Therefore, the second drive mechanism drives two positioning clamps to move relative to each other along the X-axis to achieve positioning and clamping of the battery to be replaced. The first drive unit moves the battery closer to the platform mounting interface, and the second drive unit adjusts the height of the battery. Compared with existing battery replacement methods, this method has a simpler structure and is easier to operate. The two fixed clamps achieve positioning and clamping of the battery to be replaced, preventing the battery from falling off due to movement or vibration of the support platform during battery replacement. The first drive mechanism drives the battery to move along the Y-axis and Z-axis to achieve precise docking between the battery and the platform mounting interface, thereby improving battery installation efficiency.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the second driving mechanism includes: a mounting housing, a first driving member, a bidirectional threaded rod, and two driving rods. The mounting housing is connected to the support platform. The first driving member is located outside the mounting housing and connected to it. The bidirectional threaded rod passes through the mounting housing and is rotatably connected to it. The bidirectional threaded rod is connected to the first driving member. The driving rod passes through the bidirectional threaded rod and is threadedly connected to it. The driving rod extends to the outside of the mounting housing and is located on the side of the positioning clamp away from the center of the support platform. Therefore, activating the first driving member rotates the bidirectional threaded rod, causing the two driving rods to move along the axial direction of the bidirectional threaded rod (i.e., along the X-axis). This allows the positioning clamp to be moved using the driving member.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the second driving mechanism further includes a first guide rod, which is installed inside the mounting housing. The driving rod passes through the first guide rod and is slidably connected to it. Thus, the first guide rod ensures that the driving rod can move along the axial direction of the bidirectional threaded rod without rotating with it. This ensures that the driving component acts on the positioning clamps, thereby driving the two positioning clamps to move relative to each other.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the first driving unit includes a connecting plate, a second driving component, a gear, and a rack. The connecting plate is located on the side of the support platform away from the second driving mechanism. The driving end of the second driving unit is connected to the connecting plate. The second driving component is mounted on the support platform. The gear is mounted on the driving end of the second driving component. The rack is mounted on the connecting plate, and the gear meshes with the rack. Two gears and two racks are provided. Thus, activating the second driving component causes the gear to rotate, and with the cooperation of the racks, the support platform moves along the Y-axis, moving towards or away from the platform mounting interface. With the cooperation of the second driving unit, precise docking of the battery and the platform mounting interface is achieved, improving battery installation efficiency. The mutual cooperation of the two gears and two racks makes the movement of the support platform along the Y-axis more stable.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the first driving unit further includes a slider and a first sliding groove. The slider is installed on the side of the support platform away from the second driving mechanism. The first sliding groove is formed on the connecting plate, and the slider is inserted into the first sliding groove and slidably connected to the connecting plate. There are two sliders and two first sliding grooves. Thus, through the cooperation of the slider and the first sliding groove, it can be ensured that the support platform will not detach from the connecting plate and will always be connected to the connecting plate, only moving relative to the connecting plate. In addition, the two sliders can better support the support platform and ensure that the support platform will not shift.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, it also includes: a base, the base being located on the side of the connecting plate away from the support platform, and the second driving part being connected to the base.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, it also includes: multiple second guide rods, which pass through the connecting plate and are slidably connected to it, and are connected to the base. Thus, the second guide rods guide the up-and-down movement of the connecting plate, ensuring that the connecting plate does not shift during its movement, thereby keeping the battery stable during battery replacement.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: two second sliding grooves are formed on the support platform, and the positioning clamp is inserted into the second sliding groove and slidably connected to the support platform. Thus, the positioning clamp is inserted into the second groove to ensure that the positioning clamp will not detach from the support platform.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a counterweight is installed on the base. This counterweight helps to maintain the balance of the entire battery replacement platform.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the base is equipped with multiple casters at its bottom. These casters facilitate easy adjustment of the position of the entire battery replacement platform.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The second drive mechanism drives two positioning clamps to move relative to each other along the X-axis to achieve positioning and clamping of the battery to be replaced. The first drive unit moves the battery closer to the platform mounting interface. The second drive unit adjusts the height of the battery. Compared with the existing battery replacement method, this method has a simple structure and is easy to operate. The two fixed clamps achieve positioning and clamping of the battery to be replaced, preventing the battery from falling off due to the movement or vibration of the support platform during the battery replacement process. The first drive mechanism drives the battery to move along the Y-axis and Z-axis to achieve precise docking between the battery and the platform mounting interface, thereby improving the battery installation efficiency.

[0017] 2. The present invention ensures that the drive rod can move along the axial direction of the bidirectional threaded rod through the first guide rod, and will not rotate with the rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod. In this way, it can ensure that the drive component acts on the positioning clamp, thereby driving the two positioning clamps to move relative to each other.

[0018] 3. This utility model, through the cooperation of the slider and the first sliding groove, can ensure that the support platform will not detach from the binding of the connecting plate, and will always be connected to the connecting plate, and will only move relative to the connecting plate. In addition, the two sliders can better support the support platform and ensure that the support platform will not shift. Attached Figure Description

Furthermore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 3 The diagram shows the preferred embodiment of this utility model. This embodiment of the battery replacement platform with positioning function includes: a support platform 1, a first drive mechanism 2, a second drive mechanism 5, and two positioning clamps 6. The support platform 1 is used to place the battery to be replaced. The first drive mechanism 2 includes: a first drive part 3 and a second drive part 4. The drive end of the first drive part 3 is connected to the support platform 1, and the drive end of the second drive part 4 is connected to the first drive part 3. The first drive part 3 is used to drive the support platform 1 to move along the Y-axis direction, so that the battery moves closer to or further away from the platform mounting interface. The second drive unit 4 is used to drive the support platform 1 to move along the Z-axis to adjust the height of the battery. The second drive mechanism 5 is located on the side of the support platform 1 away from the platform mounting interface and on the side of the support platform 1 away from the first drive mechanism 2, and is connected to the support platform 1. The two positioning clamps 6 are located on both sides of the support platform 1 and are slidably connected to the support platform 1. The second drive mechanism 5 is used to drive the positioning clamps 6 to move along the X-axis so that the two positioning clamps 6 move relative to each other, thereby positioning and clamping the battery to be replaced. Therefore, the second drive mechanism 5 drives the two positioning clamps 6 to move relative to each other along the X-axis to achieve positioning and clamping of the battery to be replaced. The first drive unit 3 moves the battery closer to the platform mounting interface. The second drive unit 4 adjusts the height of the battery. Compared with the existing battery replacement method, this method has a simple structure and is easy to operate. The two fixed clamps achieve positioning and clamping of the battery to be replaced, avoiding the battery from falling off due to movement or vibration of the support platform 1 during the battery replacement process. The first drive mechanism 2 drives the battery to move along the Y-axis and Z-axis to achieve precise docking between the battery and the platform mounting interface, thereby improving the battery installation efficiency.

[0026] For example, the second drive unit 4 uses a cylinder.

[0027] In this embodiment, the second driving mechanism 5 includes: a mounting housing 501, a first driving member 502, a bidirectional threaded rod 503, two driving rods 504, and a first guide rod 505. The mounting housing 501 is connected to the support platform 1. The first driving member 502 is located outside the mounting housing 501 and is connected to the mounting housing 501. The bidirectional threaded rod 503 passes through the mounting housing 501 and is rotatably connected to the mounting housing 501. The bidirectional threaded rod 503 is connected to the first driving member 502. The driving rods 504 pass through the bidirectional threaded rod 503 and are threadedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod 503. The driving rods 504 extend to the outside of the mounting housing 501 and are located on the side of the positioning clamp 6 away from the center of the support platform 1. The first guide rod 505 is installed inside the mounting housing 501. The driving rods 504 pass through the first guide rod 505 and are slidably connected to the first guide rod 505. Therefore, the first driving member 502 is activated, which drives the bidirectional threaded rod 503 to rotate, thereby causing the two driving rods 504 to move along the axial direction of the bidirectional threaded rod 503 (i.e., along the X-axis direction). In this way, the driving member drives the positioning clamp 6 to move. The first guide rod 505 ensures that the driving rods 504 can move along the axial direction of the bidirectional threaded rod 503, and will not rotate with the rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 503. In this way, the driving member can act on the positioning clamp 6, thereby driving the two positioning clamps 6 to move relative to each other.

[0028] For example, the first driving component 502 is a motor.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first driving unit 3 includes: a connecting plate 301, a second driving member 302, a gear 303, a rack 304, a slider 305, and a first sliding groove 306. The connecting plate 301 is located on the side of the support platform 1 away from the second driving mechanism 5. The driving end of the second driving unit 4 is connected to the connecting plate 301. The second driving member 302 is mounted on the support platform 1. The gear 303 is mounted on the driving end of the second driving member 302. The rack 304 is mounted on the connecting plate 301 and meshes with the gear 303. The slider 305 is mounted on the side of the support platform 1 away from the second driving mechanism 5. The first sliding groove 306 is formed on the connecting plate 301, and the slider 305 is inserted into the first sliding groove 306 and slidably connected to the connecting plate 301. There are two gears 303 and two racks 304. There are two sliders 305 and two first sliding grooves 306. Therefore, the second drive unit 302 is activated, causing the gear 303 to rotate. With the cooperation of the rack 304, the support platform 1 moves along the Y-axis, moving towards or away from the platform mounting interface. With the cooperation of the second drive unit 4, the battery is precisely connected to the platform mounting interface, thereby improving the battery installation efficiency. The cooperation of the two gears 303 and the two racks 304 makes the movement of the support platform 1 along the Y-axis more stable. The cooperation of the slider 305 and the first slide groove 306 ensures that the support platform 1 will not detach from the connecting plate 301 and will always be connected to the connecting plate 301, only moving relative to the connecting plate 301. In addition, the two sliders 305 can better support the support platform 1, ensuring that the support platform 1 will not shift.

[0030] For example, the second drive unit 302 adopts a bidirectional output motor.

[0031] In this embodiment, the platform also includes a base 7, located on the side of the connecting plate 301 away from the support platform 1. The second drive unit 4 is connected to the base 7. A counterweight 701 is mounted on the base 7, and multiple casters 702 are provided at the bottom of the base 7. Thus, the counterweight 701 helps to keep the entire battery replacement platform balanced, and the casters 702 facilitate the adjustment of the position of the entire battery replacement platform.

[0032] In this embodiment, a plurality of second guide rods 8 are also included. The second guide rods 8 pass through the connecting plate 301 and are slidably connected to the connecting plate 301. The second guide rods 8 are connected to the base 7. Thus, the second guide rods 8 guide the up-and-down movement of the connecting plate 301 to ensure that the connecting plate 301 does not shift during the up-and-down movement, thereby keeping the battery stable during battery replacement.

[0033] In this embodiment, the support platform 1 has two second sliding grooves 101. The positioning clamp 6 is inserted into the second sliding groove 101 and slidably connected to the support platform 1. Thus, the positioning clamp 6 is inserted into the second groove to ensure that the positioning clamp 6 will not detach from the support platform 1.

[0034] The battery replacement process of this utility model is as follows: First, the battery to be replaced is placed on the support platform 1, and the two positioning clamps 6 are driven to move relative to each other by the second drive mechanism 5 to position and clamp the battery; then, the battery and the platform mounting interface are aligned by the cooperation of the first drive unit 3 and the second drive unit 4; finally, after the battery is moved to the position to be replaced, the two positioning clamps 6 are controlled to move towards each other so that the two positioning clamps 6 no longer position and clamp the battery, thus realizing the battery replacement.

[0035] In summary, this utility model uses a second drive mechanism 5 to drive two positioning clamps 6 to move relative to each other along the X-axis to achieve positioning and clamping of the battery to be replaced. A first drive unit 3 moves the battery closer to the platform mounting interface, and a second drive unit 4 adjusts the height of the battery. Compared to existing battery replacement methods, this method is simpler in structure and easier to operate. The two fixed clamps achieve positioning and clamping of the battery to be replaced, preventing the battery from falling off due to movement or vibration of the support platform 1 during battery replacement. The first drive mechanism 2 drives the battery to move along the Y and Z axes to achieve precise docking between the battery and the platform mounting interface, thereby improving battery installation efficiency.

[0036] The above description is based on the preferred embodiments of this utility model. Through the above description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined by the scope of the claims.
