Description

The utility model relates to the field of electrical engineering, namely to cabinets for placing and charging battery packs of electric trucks.

As part of the fight against air pollution, electric vehicles are becoming more widespread. Virtually all existing trucks are diesel-powered vehicles that emit particulate matter and greenhouse gases. They account for most of the total emissions of harmful substances. Therefore, in order to protect the environment, it is necessary to carry out the electrification of trucks.

One of the main factors limiting the use of batteries for the electrification of trucks is fixed power electricity.

The battery life is relatively short, and it takes a long time to charge the batteries. The purpose of this technical solution is to develop a charging cabinet used in the battery change station of electric trucks to solve the problem of short range.

Solving the problem of the inconvenience and low speed of battery replacement will promote the expansion of the use of electric trucks to protect the environment.

A collapsible cabinet for charging and storing batteries is known, which is a cabinet for placing electrical equipment complete with a basic automotive electric generator and designed to service military equipment for storing and charging batteries of combat vehicles and vehicles in the field (see patent 160454, IPC H02B 1/30 (2006.01), published 03/20/2016).

A multi-level charging cabinet is also known, containing a cabinet body, a shock detection device and a regeneration box, the upper part of the cabinet body is connected to the shock detection device, the side surface of the cabinet body is connected to the recovery unit, and the upper part of the cabinet body is connected to the battery health determination device (see Fig. patent CN 213213157, IPC G01B 21/32, G01P 31/392, H02J 7/00, published May 14, 2021).

The closest to the claimed technical solution in terms of essential features is a charging cabinet for a lithium battery of an electric vehicle, containing a plurality of charging compartments closed with doors. Inside the compartments there is a charging connector, a guide, as well as a movable frame mounted to slide along this guide. Rollers are installed on the bottom of the movable frame (see patent CN 216942705, IPC B60L 53/30, B60L 53/302, H02J 7/00, publ. 12.07.2022.).

However, these devices are not designed to store battery packs. In addition, the known designs of cabinets are not intended for automatic removal of batteries located on the sides of a cargo vehicle.

The task to be solved by the claimed technical solution is to ensure quick replacement of battery packs located on the sides of the truck.

To solve the problem in a cabinet for charging batteries, containing a cabinet body with separate modules for batteries, and each module has a retractable mechanism and a connector for charging batteries, the modules for batteries are made movable in the housing by means of a drive mechanism according to the principle of an elevator system, while on the side walls of the modules there are rollers for moving them in the housing along the guide grooves made inside the walls of the housing, the retractable mechanism is made in the form of a shelf with fork grips for removing and installing batteries.

The set of essential features, which consists in the fact that the modules for batteries are made with the possibility of moving in the housing by means of a drive mechanism according to the principle of an elevator system, while on the side walls of the modules there are rollers for moving them in the housing along the guide grooves made inside the walls of the housing, except In addition, the retractable mechanism is made in the form of a shelf with fork grips for removing and installing batteries, which allows for the quick replacement of discharged batteries located on the sides of a cargo vehicle.

The proposed technical solution is illustrated by drawings:

fig. 1 - a cabinet for charging batteries with an indication of the direction of movement of the modules;

fig. 2 - module for storage batteries;

fig. 3 - module with installed battery pack;

fig. 4 - cabinets for charging batteries, made with a floor installation, general view.

The battery charging cabinet comprises a housing 1 with separate modules 2 for battery packs 3 movable in the housing 1 by means of a drive mechanism according to the principle of an elevator system. Each module 2 has a pull-out shelf 4 with fork grips 5 for removing and installing batteries 3 from the truck and, accordingly, on it. Also at the bottom of the modules 2 there are connectors 6 for charging batteries. On the side walls of the modules 2, rollers 7 are installed to move them in the housing 1 along the guide grooves (not shown) made inside the walls of the housing 1.

The battery charging cabinet operates as follows.

After the electric truck has stopped in front of the cabinet, the process of replacing the batteries located on the sides of the truck begins in a fully automated mode. A shelf 4 with forks 5 is pulled out from module 2 to remove battery packs 3 from an electric truck. The batteries are removed from the car and installed in the corresponding module 2. Then module 2 goes up to another tier according to the principle of the elevator system, module 2 with charged batteries is brought up. With the help of fork grips 5, charged batteries are installed in special compartments of the car.

The proposed technical solution allows for a quick replacement of discharged batteries located on the sides of a cargo vehicle.

The proposed technical solution is possible for implementation on standard process equipment.
