Description
An embodiment of the present invention relates to an apparatus for replacing a discharge battery of an electric car with a cushioning battery.
Fuel such as light oil, gasoline, and natural gas such as LNG and LPG are mainly used as vehicle fuel. In recent years, electric vehicles (EVs), which use electricity as an energy source, have attracted attention as an alternative to fossil fuel vehicles because of the problem of exhausting exhaust gases that pollute the environment when fossil fuels are used.
Electric vehicles include a battery powered EV, a fuel cell EV that uses a fuel cell as an electric motor, and a hybrid EV that uses an electric motor and an engine together. In addition, a variety of studies have been conducted on the construction of an EV charging infra for the expansion and activation of EVs.
The electric car is charged in a plug-in manner. Therefore, it takes a long time until the charging is completed, so the user is inconvenient to use the electric car, and the charging facility operator is not economical.
In order to solve such a problem, an electric car battery charging technique of replacing a discharge battery with a cushioning battery that has been charged in advance without charging the electric car battery directly has been proposed.
According to the electric vehicle battery exchange method, there is an advantage that an electric vehicle can be used without charging extra time for battery charging. However, there is a problem that a separate skilled person is required for the battery exchange operation.
An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for quickly and safely replacing a discharge battery of an electric vehicle with a cushioning battery.
The problems to be solved are not limited thereto, and other matters not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a battery pack comprising: a body installed above a battery exchange position; A winder mounted on the body; A plurality of elevating lines wound or unwound by the winder; A head sheave mounted on the body so as to be spaced apart from each other in a peripheral region of the winder and guiding the plurality of lifting and lowering lines downwardly of the body; A battery gripper for gripping or ungripping an electric vehicle battery by being lifted or lowered according to operation of the winder by being connected to the plurality of ascending / descending lines guided downwardly of the body by the head sheave, a battery gripper; And a load sensor for measuring loads acting on the plurality of lift lines, respectively, wherein the battery gripper includes: a gripper body having the plurality of lift lines connected thereto; And at least one pair of gripper hand assemblies disposed opposite each other at the bottom of the gripper body, wherein the pair of gripper hand assemblies are movable in a direction away from and relative to each other in the gripper body , And are moved in a direction away from or approach to each other by the hand assembly driving means.
The load sensor may be a load cell mounted to each of the plurality of head sheaves so as to measure a load applied to the head sheave by the lifting and lowering line engaged with the head sheave.
The battery exchange apparatus of an electric vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention stops operation of the winder when at least one of the load values for the plurality of ascending / descending lines measured by the load sensor exceeds a preset value And a control unit for controlling the display unit.
The winder may include: a rotating shaft; Two winding drums respectively mounted on both end portions of the rotary shaft and each having one or more winding regions in which the up / down lines are wound; And an axis driving means for rotating the rotary shaft.
The battery exchange apparatus of an electric vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a Z-axis guide unit for guiding the lifting and lowering of the battery gripper.
The apparatus for exchanging an electric car battery according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a stopper for limiting a descending distance of the battery gripper.

Means for solving the problems will be more specifically and clarified through the embodiments, drawings, and the like described below. In addition, various solution means other than the above-mentioned solution means may be further proposed.
According to the embodiments of the present invention, it is possible to swiftly and accurately and safely replace the discharge battery of an electric car with a cushioning battery, thereby greatly contributing to the dissemination, popularization and activation of an electric car.
Further, since the falling distance of the battery gripper can be limited by the Z-axis guide unit (which may be composed of a single or multiple scissors links or a plurality of telescopic rods) It is possible to more positively prevent the battery gripper and / or the electric car from being damaged or causing human injury due to a malfunction or an abnormality in the gripper lifting unit, and the battery gripper falls to the floor or collides with the electric vehicle.
Further, since the gap between the pair of gripper hand assemblies can be adjusted according to the front and rear and / or the size of the left and right sides of the battery of the electric vehicle, specifications of the battery can be used for replacement work of the electric car battery of various specifications.
Further, since it is possible to detect abnormality such as tension or breakage of the lift line by using a load cell for measuring the load values of the lift lines, or to detect that the external force such as wind force acts on the battery gripper, It is possible to prevent the battery gripper from crashing due to an abnormality in the ascending / descending line and damage or breakage of the Z-axis guide unit due to an external force acting on the battery gripper.
