Description

Electricity exchange system and electric exchange method

The invention relates to a battery swapping system and a battery swapping method, which can actively identify the battery device that is close to it, and then instruct the user to exchange and charge the battery device.

According to, fuel vehicles (whether cars or locomotives) are driven by fuel combustion to generate kinetic energy. The exhaust gas produced after combustion contains nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides and other components. These exhaust gases have more or less fine particles (PM ), especially PM2.5, PM2, etc., are easy to float in the air, and accumulate in the body such as the trachea and lungs as they breathe in and affect health.

At present, the largest number of domestic vehicles is motorcycles, and all major domestic manufacturers are actively investing in this field to develop products of the electric locomotive. With the government subsidy policy, electric locomotives are currently very easy to find in China, and the price is not high and does not emit emissions. Exhaust gas is loved by various ethnic groups.

Electric locomotives are powered by batteries. Therefore, relevant companies have set up battery exchange stations in densely populated places such as convenience stores and shopping malls. When users want to replace batteries, they should first go to the battery exchange station and insert the batteries through instructions, and wait for the battery status to be confirmed. , The battery exchange station introduced the available batteries to complete the work of battery exchange.

However, the process of waiting for the battery is quite time-consuming. The user must wait for the battery exchange station to confirm the battery status, and the battery exchange station must reserve several empty exchange cabinets for the user to insert the used battery into the exchange cabinet to charge , But this approach cannot improve the efficiency of the battery exchange station. In other words, if a battery exchange station has eight exchange cabinets, there are only six exchange cabinets. There are batteries in the cabinet.
