The driving mechanism 303 is connected to the platform body 302, and the driving mechanism 303 is also connected to the drive control device 304 in a communication manner. For example, the drive mechanism 303 may be communicatively coupled to the drive control apparatus 304 by a wired or wireless means. The driving control device 304 may control the driving mechanism 303 to drive the platform body 302 to move up and down along the guide rail 3010 between the power exchanging platform 20 and the floating platform 10. The driving control device 304 may be disposed on the battery replacement platform 20.
The driving mechanism 303 may drive the platform body 302 to move up and down by a winch cable, a chain, a rack and pinion, a hydraulic lift, etc., and fig. 3a illustrates the driving mechanism 303 as a winch cable traction lifting mechanism.

In some embodiments, since the lower docking portion 104 of the floating platform 10 is lifted with the water level, the lower docking position of the platform body 302 is adjusted with the water level, so that the platform body 302 can be docked with the lower docking portion 104. The lift platform 30 further includes a first position sensing member 305 fixedly coupled to the floating platform 10. The first position sensing element 305 is communicatively coupled to the drive control device 304, for example, the first position sensing element 305 may be communicatively coupled to the drive control device 304 via a wired connection.

For example, the driving control device 304 may control the stage body 302 to decelerate according to the position state output from the first position sensing member 305, and interface with the lower docking portion 104 when the stage body 302 decelerates to a stop. Since the first position sensing member 305 is fixedly connected to the floating platform 10, the first position sensing member 305 can move up and down along with the lifting and lowering of the floating platform 10, so that the driving control device 304 can still control the platform body 302 to accurately dock with the low docking portion 104 according to the position state output by the first position sensing member 305 under the condition that the low docking portion 104 of the floating platform 10 moves up and down along with the lifting and lowering of the water level.

For example, a fully charged battery on the power exchanging platform 20 is transported to the lifting platform 30, the lifting platform 30 lowers the fully charged battery to the floating platform 10, the driving control device 304 may control the driving mechanism 303 to drive the platform body 302 to move downward along the guide rail 3010, when the platform body 302 moves downward to a first position, the first position sensing element 305 outputs an approaching position state of the platform body 302 relative to the floating platform 10, the driving control device 304 controls the driving mechanism 303 to decelerate the platform body 302, the first position may be an installation position of the first position sensing element 305 or a position at the same altitude as the first position sensing element 305, and the approaching position state of the platform body 302 relative to the floating platform 10 may be a position state where a distance between the bottom of the platform body 302 and the low docking portion 104 is a first preset distance. When the platform body 302 continues to move downwards to the second position, the first position sensing element 305 outputs the docking position state of the platform body 302 relative to the floating platform 10, and the driving control device 304 controls the driving mechanism 303 to stop moving the platform body 302, so that the platform body 302 is accurately docked with the low docking portion 104. The second position may be a position where the bottom of the platform body 302 is flush with the lower docking portion 104, and the docking position state of the platform body 302 with respect to the floating platform 10 may be a position state where the bottom of the platform body 302 is aligned with the lower docking portion 104.
In some embodiments, the lifting platform 30 further comprises a second position sensing member 306 fixedly connected to the supporting column 301, the second position sensing member 306 is in communication with the driving control device 304, for example, the second position sensing member 306 can be in communication with the driving control device 304 through a wired manner or a wireless manner.

When the offshore unit 105 is in the first state, the offshore unit 105 is landed between the vessel 200 and the floating platform 10 for battery off-shore or on-shore travel between the edge of the floating platform 10 and the vessel 200; when the offshore unit 105 is in the second state, the offshore unit 105 disconnects the vessel 200 from the floating platform 10 to prevent the battery from traveling offshore or ashore between the edge of the floating platform 10 and the vessel 200. For example, the offshore loading device 105 is a foldable strap including an unfolded state and a folded state, and when the foldable strap is in the unfolded state, the foldable strap is lapped between the ship 200 and the floating platform 10, and when the foldable strap is in the folded state, the connection between the ship 200 and the floating platform 10 is disconnected.

Fig. 12 is a schematic flow chart of a method for replacing a ship battery according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The ship battery replacement method can be applied to the battery replacement workstation 100 to realize rapid battery replacement of the ship 200. The battery replacing work station 100 comprises a floating platform 10, a battery replacing platform 20 and a lifting platform 30 capable of lifting between the battery replacing platform 20 and the floating platform 10, the floating platform 10 is provided with a ship berthing position 101, and a battery charging area 210 capable of placing and charging a battery with power shortage is arranged on the battery replacing platform 20. In this embodiment, the method for replacing a ship battery may include:

In some embodiments, the edge of the vessel docking station 101 may be provided with a proximity sensor by which sensing whether the vessel docking station 101 is docked with the vessel 200 is achieved. The main control device 2030 may enable receiving a first sensing signal of the vessel docking station 101 docking with the vessel 200 by communicating with the proximity sensor. The vessel 200 may establish a communication connection with the main control device 2030, and a vessel system onboard the vessel 200 may sense whether the battery is detached. When the power-deficient battery of the marine vessel 200 is discharged, the marine vessel 200 may transmit a second sensing signal to the main control device 2030, so that the main control device 2030 may receive the second sensing signal that the power-deficient battery of the marine vessel 200 is discharged. When the main control device 2030 receives a first sensing signal that the ship docking station 101 is docked with the ship 200 and a second sensing signal that the battery of the ship 200 with power shortage is discharged, indicating that the ship 200 has a power replacement requirement, the main control device 2030 can randomly select a fully charged battery from the battery charging area 210 to deliver to the ship 200. For example, each battery includes a roller, can move autonomously, and has a path planning module, a sensing module and a communication module, the sensing module can obtain a start position, an end position and ambient environment information of the battery, the path planning module can plan a global path for the battery to move from the start position to the end position according to the start position, the end position and the ambient environment information of the battery, and the battery can move autonomously according to the global path. The sensing module may include a laser radar module or a camera module, and the path planning module may include a microprocessor, a storage device, etc., and the storage device stores a path planning algorithm. The main control device 2030 also has a communication module to communicate with the battery, and the main control device 2030 is also provided with a schedule management system that can exercise control and schedule for a plurality of batteries.
In some embodiments, in order to transfer the fully charged battery from the battery charging area 210 to the ship 200, the fully charged battery may be transferred from the battery charging area 210 to the high docking portion 202, enter the platform body 302 via the high docking portion 202, be transferred to the low docking portion 104, be moved from the low docking portion 104 to the ship docking position 101 at which the ship 200 is docked, and be moved to the ship 200 from the fully charged battery at the ship docking position 101. For example, when the main control device 2030 randomly selects a fully charged battery from the battery charging area 210, the dispatch management system may generate a dispatch task for the fully charged battery, where the dispatch task includes a task start point (the battery charging area 210) and a task end point (the ship berth 101 at which the ship 200 is berthed), and the battery may further communicate with the drive control device 304 to obtain operation information of the platform body 302, so that the battery may enter and exit the platform body 302, and further, the fully charged battery may be controlled to autonomously move from the battery charging area 210 to the ship berth 101 at which the ship 200 is berthed via the lifting platform 30.

The fully charged battery may also be moved autonomously from the vessel docking station 101 to the vessel 200 by the offshore unit 105.
In step S102, the battery discharged from the ship 200 and having a power shortage is moved to the battery charging area 210 via the floating platform 10 and the elevating platform 30.
In some embodiments, the battery charging area 210 is provided with one or more charging devices 211, and when the power-deficient battery of the ship 200 is discharged, the power-deficient battery may be moved to the battery charging area 210 via the floating platform 10 and the lifting platform 30 to charge the power-deficient battery. In order to move the battery with insufficient power from the ship 200 to the battery charging area 210, the battery with insufficient power may be moved from the ship 200 to the ship docking station 101, then the battery with insufficient power at the ship docking station 101 may be moved to the lower docking portion 104, enter the platform body 302 through the lower docking portion 104, be transported to the upper docking portion 202, and then be moved from the upper docking portion 202 to the battery charging area 210.

In some embodiments, during the charging of the battery with insufficient power by the charging apparatus 211, the main control device 2030 may obtain the power of the battery with insufficient power in real time by communicating with the charging apparatus 211. When the main control device 2030 determines that the electric quantity of the battery with insufficient power is greater than the preset electric quantity, the main control device 2030 can control the charging device 211 to stop charging the battery with insufficient power, so that the charging safety of the battery is improved.
In some embodiments, the battery replacement platform 20 is further provided with a battery maintenance area 213, and a battery with a power shortage unloaded from the ship 200 can be automatically moved to the battery maintenance area 213 for detection through the floating platform 10 and the lifting platform 30, and when it is detected that the battery with the power shortage does not need to be maintained or maintained, the battery can be automatically moved to the battery charging area 210 from the battery maintenance area 213 for charging.

The power distribution device 204 can also be in communication connection with the main control device 2030, and when the main control device 2030 receives the third sensing signal, the main control device 2030 can control the power distribution device 204 to disconnect the power supply to the charging device 211, so that when it is monitored that the battery is on fire, the power is automatically cut off, and the charging safety of the battery is improved.
In some embodiments, the battery charging area 210 is further provided with a fire extinguishing device 212, the fire extinguishing device 212 being electrically connected with the main control device 2030. When the main control device 2030 receives the third sensing signal, the main control device 2030 may turn on the fire extinguishing apparatus 212 to extinguish the fire of the battery.

Fig. 13 is a schematic flow chart of a ship battery replacement method according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. The ship battery replacement method can be applied to the battery replacement workstation 100 to realize rapid battery replacement of the ship 200.

In this embodiment, the method for replacing a ship battery may include:
step S201, sensing whether the ship 200 is docked at the ship docking station 101.
In some embodiments, the edge of the vessel docking station 101 may be provided with a proximity sensor, by which sensing whether the vessel docking station 101 is docked with the vessel 200 may be achieved. The proximity sensor may be in communication with the main control device 2030 and may output a first sensing signal to the main control device 2030 when the proximity sensor senses that the vessel docking station 101 is docked with the vessel 200.
Step S202, when the ship 200 is detected to be parked at the ship berth 101, determining whether the ship 200 unloads a power-lack battery.
In some embodiments, when it is sensed by the proximity sensor that the ship docking station 101 docks with the ship 200, the main control apparatus 2030 may also determine whether the ship 200 unloads the battery due to power shortage by determining whether a second sensing signal transmitted by the ship 200 is received. For example, the vessel 200 may establish a communication connection with the main control device 2030, a vessel system onboard the vessel 200 may sense whether a battery is detached, and when a battery of the vessel 200 with a power shortage is detached, the vessel 200 may transmit a second sensing signal to the main control device 2030.
