  • Publication number: 20230242003
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a battery swap platform, a battery swap station, and a battery swap method. The battery swap platform includes a parking mechanism, an accommodating mechanism, and an opening and closing mechanism. The accommodating mechanism is arranged below a vehicle parked on the parking mechanism and has an opening, and the opening and closing mechanism is arranged on the accommodating mechanism. When the opening and closing mechanism is in an open state, the opening of the accommodating mechanism can be opened. When the opening and closing mechanism is in a closed state, the opening of the accommodating mechanism can be closed, and the opening and closing mechanism and the parking mechanism form a vehicle passage path for allowing the vehicle to enter or leave the parking mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20230242001
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a battery conveying system and a battery swap station comprising same. The battery conveying system comprises a battery swap platform, a battery demounting and mounting mechanism, and a battery conveying mechanism. The battery swap platform has an accommodating structure, a battery demounting and mounting area above the accommodating structure, and a battery transfer area inside the accommodating structure. The demounting and mounting structure is located in the accommodating structure and can be lifted or lowered relative to the accommodating structure such that a battery is transferred between the battery demounting and mounting area and the battery transfer area. The battery conveying mechanism extends from the battery transfer area to the outside of the accommodating structure via a side portion of the accommodating structure, and is configured to convey the battery between the battery transfer area and the outside of the accommodating structure.

  • Publication number: 20230242002
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a battery swap platform, a battery swap station, and a battery swap method. The battery swap platform includes: a parking mechanism configured to park a vehicle; an accommodating mechanism, which is arranged below the vehicle parked on the parking mechanism, and which has an opening; an opening and closing mechanism configured to open or close the opening of the accommodating mechanism; and a battery mounting/dismounting mechanism arranged in the accommodating mechanism and capable of being lifted or lowered relative to the accommodating mechanism, wherein when the opening and closing mechanism opens the opening of the accommodating mechanism, the battery mounting/dismounting mechanism can be lifted relative to the accommodating mechanism to extend out of the accommodating mechanism through the opening, and perform a battery mounting/dismounting operation for the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20230242004
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a battery swap platform, a battery swap station, and a battery swap method. The battery swap platform includes a parking mechanism, a battery mounting/dismounting mechanism, and a battery temporary storage mechanism. The battery mounting/dismounting mechanism can dismount a battery from a vehicle parked on the parking mechanism and deliver the dismounted battery to the battery temporary storage mechanism for temporary storage, or obtain a battery from the battery temporary storage mechanism and mount the battery on the vehicle parked on the parking mechanism. In this way, in the battery swap platform and the battery swap station provided in the disclosure, the provision of the battery temporary storage mechanism can shorten the battery transport duration, thereby reducing the total time taken for vehicle battery swap.

  • Publication number: 20220281334
    Abstract: The invention relates to the field of electric vehicles and particularly provides a charging gun. The invention aims to solve the problems that charging guns in different standards have a single function, cannot be reused, and have high research and development and manufacturing costs. To this end, the charging gun of the invention comprises a gun head, a microswitch, and a gun body assembly, wherein the microswitch is disposed on the gun head, the gun body assembly is detachably connected to the gun head, and the gun head is a male gun head or a female gun head. The microswitch is disposed on the gun head, so that the microswitch is separated from the gun body assembly, so as to reuse gun bodies of a charging gun in a Chinese standard and a charging gun in a European standard, that is, the charging gun in the Chinese standard and the charging gun in the European standard can switch between each other only by replacing few components.
