TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a battery exchange system for an electric vehicle.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, there has been no battery replacement system for electric vehicles.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In order to obtain electric energy as a power source for conventional electric vehicles, a method has been proposed in which the on-board battery is charged with a small current over a long period of time or charged with a large current in order to shorten the time. The lack of a power supply and the need for infrastructure development has been screaming, which was a major factor in hindering the spread of electric vehicles because of the time required for gasoline refueling.
[0004]
According to the present invention, the power source of the electric vehicle can be obtained only by changing the cartridge type case containing the charged battery easily in a short time, and the long-distance driving which is the biggest drawback of the electric vehicle can be performed. Another object of the present invention is to provide a lively system that does not require maintenance of infrastructure such as charging facilities.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present inventors have invented a battery exchange system including a cartridge type case incorporating a secondary battery attached to an electric vehicle and a battery exchange device for exchanging the cartridge case in a short time.
[0006]
By using the battery exchange system for an electric vehicle according to the present invention, the length of the battery charging time, the power supply for charging, and the development of an infrastructure such as the development and installation of a quick charger, which have been factors that hinder the spread of electric vehicles in the past, have been developed. Is unnecessary, and electric energy serving as a power source of the electric vehicle can be obtained in a time significantly shorter than the refueling time.
[0007]

[0013]
FIG. 6 is a side view showing a state where the removal of the cartridge type case 1 is completed in the exchange system of the present invention, and shows a positional relationship between the cartridge type case 1 and the battery exchange device 3.
[0014]
The components of the battery exchange device 3 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. In order to reduce friction when the cartridge type case 1 shown in FIGS. An arm 6 is provided at an end of the storage table 5 corresponding to the entrance and the arm 6 is fixed on a concentric axis with the roller shaft 8. The storage portion is arranged so that the L-shaped steel 9 guides the cartridge case 1. In addition, resins 10 and 11 having a small coefficient of friction are adhered to the bottom surface of the cartridge type case 1 and the contact surface of the L-shaped steel 9 to reduce friction, respectively. In the embodiment, the case of two cartridge type cases is shown. May be used alone or more.
[0015]
A motor 12 is attached to the opposite end of the arm 6 from the fixed position, and a winch 14 is attached to a rotation shaft 13 of the arm 6. A hook 16 is provided at the tip of a rope 15 of the winch 14, and this is a cartridge type case. The secondary battery 2 of the electric vehicle can be easily exchanged by mounting it on a plurality of moving and fixing pin insertion holes 17 provided on one short side surface and starting the motor 12.
[0016]
The lifting lifts 4 are provided because the height of the storage table 5 needs to be adjusted because the height differs depending on the electric vehicle. The storage table 5 is attached to the lift frame 19 above the lifting lift 4. . A cylinder 21 of an actuator 20 for moving the lift frame 19 up and down is fixed to the lift frame 19. Further, two shafts 22 for smoothing the vertical movement of the lift frame 19 are provided, and the shaft 22 and the actuator 20 are fixed to the chassis 23 of the battery exchange device 3.
[0017]
The driving device 5 needs to be able to easily move in all directions because the position of the battery exchange device 3 needs to be finely adjusted. For example, it is desirable to employ a driving device of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-500049. In addition, 24 is a wheel.
【The invention's effect】
The present invention is configured as described above, and has the following effects.
[0018]
Electric energy, which is the power source of an electric vehicle, is obtained from its on-board battery, but the on-board battery requires longer charging time than the current gasoline refueling time. There are few places where the arrangement and the power supply are provided, and this has been an obstacle to the spread of the electric vehicle.
[0019]
It has been said that electric vehicles cannot drive long distances. However, the battery exchange system of the present invention can provide electric energy, which is a power source of the electric vehicles, in a time shorter than the refueling time, thereby enabling long distance driving. Believe that will be accelerated.
[0020]
Needless to say, if the battery exchange system of the present invention is used, the battery exchange can be performed without any influence on the battery weight.
[0021]
In addition, new businesses are created by increasing the number of bases where the battery exchange system is installed, and at the same time, electric vehicles are expected to spread dramatically, so that their social and economic effects cannot be achieved.
