Description

energy station

This invention is an energy station, especially an energy station used for charging batteries.

With the advancement of technology and the rise of environmental protection concepts, the electric motorcycle industry is also booming. The electric motorcycles use electricity as driving energy and can be charged by directly connecting to the power supply or by replacing the battery to supplement the electric motor. The power of the car.

Nowadays, if you want to replace the battery of an electric motorcycle, the user must take out the battery from the electric motorcycle, insert the battery into the charging slot of an energy station, and take out another battery from the energy station for replacement, where, The charging slot has an opening and a connecting terminal, and an insertion direction is defined from the opening to the connecting terminal. The end of the battery has a charging terminal. When the user inserts the battery from the opening along the When the insertion direction is inserted into the charging slot and the charging terminal is combined with the connecting terminal, the energy station can charge the battery.

However, due to the heavy weight of the battery, when the user wants to insert the battery into the charging slot, the battery will be supported by the bottom of the opening of the charging slot to share the weight of the battery. The end of the battery will rise upward, and when the user pushes the battery into the charging slot, the moving direction of the battery is not parallel to the insertion direction, resulting in a gap between the charging terminal and the charging slot. The connection terminals are misaligned with each other. When the misalignment offset distance is large and exceeds the preset range, it is easy to cause collision between the charging terminal and the connection terminal, and cause the battery and the connection terminal to collide. damaged.

The main purpose of this invention is to provide an energy station, hoping to improve the current situation when the battery is inserted into the charging slot. There is a large offset distance between the charging terminals of the battery and the connecting terminals of the charging slot. A collision occurs between the battery and the connecting terminal, causing damage to the battery and the connecting terminal.

In order to achieve the purpose disclosed above, the energy station of this invention is provided with at least one battery slot, the battery slot can accommodate a rechargeable battery, and is provided with: a connection terminal, the connection terminal is arranged on the battery socket. the end of the slot, and can be connected to the rechargeable battery; and a guiding mechanism, which includes a top guide part, a side guide part and a rolling part arranged around the connection terminal, when the rechargeable battery is placed on When the battery slot is in the battery slot, the rechargeable battery is located between the top guide part, the side guide part and the rolling part, wherein an entrance frame is provided at the front end of the battery slot, and the entrance The frame is formed with an inlet end surface. The distance between the inlet end surface and the top surface guide part is greater than half the length of the rechargeable battery. The inner bottom of the inlet frame is formed with a connected guide slope and a support surface. The inlet end surface is located on the support surface. When half of the length of the rechargeable battery passes through the inlet end surface, the end of the rechargeable battery will fall with the support surface as a fulcrum; when the rechargeable battery moves along the The guide inclined surface enters the battery slot to contact the top guide portion, and the end of the rechargeable battery will be guided downward by the top guide portion.

The battery slot of the energy station of this invention can accommodate the rechargeable battery, and through the design of the guide mechanism, the rechargeable battery is less likely to be misplaced when it is coupled to the connection terminal, wherein the Energy stations have the following advantages:

1. It can effectively avoid the misalignment of the rechargeable battery: when the rechargeable battery is inserted into the battery slot, if the end of the rechargeable battery rises upward, the end of the rechargeable battery will dislocate before contacting the connection terminal. That is, it will first contact the top guide portion of the guide mechanism and be guided downward, and then guide the horizontal direction through the side guide portion, thereby adjusting the position of the rechargeable battery to avoid the rechargeable battery and the The misalignment between the connecting terminals can effectively prevent the rechargeable battery from colliding with the connecting terminals. In addition, when located in the battery slot, the rechargeable battery is carried on the rolling part, and The friction force of moving the rechargeable battery can be reduced, thereby improving the convenience of placing or taking it.

2. Can facilitate maintenance: As mentioned above, the energy station can guide the rechargeable battery when it is inserted into the battery slot by arranging the top guide part and the side guide part in the battery slot. Due to the position of the rechargeable battery, the guide mechanism can prevent collisions with only streamlined components, effectively improve the maintenance convenience of the guide mechanism, and reduce maintenance and production costs.
