  • Publication number: 20240034185
    Abstract: Disclosed are a battery swapping device, a battery swapping station and a battery swapping method. The battery swapping device comprises a turnover mechanism for turning a used battery pack taken out of an electric vehicle from a first position to a second position in a first direction; or turning a fresh battery pack taken out of a battery charging bin from a third position to a fourth position in a second direction, the first direction being opposite to the second direction. The present invention occupies less space for turnover, and can be significantly reduced with respect to a plane-rotating battery swapping device in structure. Thus, it can complete picking and placing of larger battery packs with a smaller space and structure. Therefore, battery swapping with a single large battery pack can be realized in a smaller area, thereby reducing the cost of the battery pack and facilitating promotion.
