背景技术Background technique
目前,纯电动汽车主要有整车充电和电池更换两种能源补给模式。其中,给电动汽车整车充电时,交流慢充时间长,且停车场地受限制,直流快充功率大、充电时间短,但对电网冲击较大,同时还会降低电池的使用寿命。采用换电模式,可以与电网互动做到有序充电,实现电力负荷的“调峰储能”,提高电力设备的综合利用效率,既能快速对电动汽车进行能源补给,减少用户等待时间,又不会损害电池寿命。因此,在我国一线城市的公共交通领域换电模式具有很高的推广价值和经济意义。At present, pure electric vehicles mainly have two energy supply modes: vehicle charging and battery replacement. Among them, when charging the electric vehicle, the AC slow charging time is long, and the parking lot is limited. The DC fast charging power is large and the charging time is short, but the impact on the power grid is large, and the battery life is also reduced. By adopting the power-change mode, it can interact with the power grid to achieve orderly charging, realize the “peak-shaving energy storage” of the power load, improve the comprehensive utilization efficiency of the power equipment, and not only quickly supply energy to the electric vehicle, but also reduce the waiting time of the user. Does not damage battery life. Therefore, the mode of power exchange in the public transportation field in first-tier cities in China has a high promotion value and economic significance.
对电动汽车来讲,采用电池在底盘的安装方式,既有利于提高车辆的利用空间,又使电池与驾乘人员隔开,提高了安全性,同时也降低了车辆的重心,提高了车辆的操控性,因此底盘式电池更换技术成为电动汽车换电的发展方向。For electric vehicles, the installation of the battery in the chassis not only helps to improve the utilization space of the vehicle, but also separates the battery from the occupants, improves safety, reduces the center of gravity of the vehicle, and improves the vehicle's Maneuverability, therefore the chassis-type battery replacement technology has become the development direction of electric vehicles.
但是,目前已建和在建的电动汽车底盘式电池换电站,一般都采用堆垛机来进行电池的转运,电池在车载状态的放置方向和电池在站内充电状态的放置方向平行设置,需要占用较大的空间,即使采用预装式集装箱的方式,换电站的选址方面也受到很大限制,尤其给在地下停车库内建站带来了巨大挑战。因此,需要更加合理的电池换电站布局来满足实际应用。However, the electric vehicle chassis type battery power station that has been built and under construction generally uses a stacker to carry out the battery transfer. The placement direction of the battery in the vehicle state and the placement direction of the battery in the station are parallel, and need to be occupied. Larger space, even with pre-packaged containers, the location of the power station is greatly limited, especially for building a station in the underground parking garage. Therefore, a more reasonable battery-changing power station layout is needed to meet practical applications.
此外,由于电池底盘式安装的电动汽车在国内少数城市刚刚起步,人们对换电的车辆接受程度还不高,前期换电站的换电频次不高是显而易见的。如果在换电频次不高的前提下,将换电站的设备一步建设到位,会造成资源的浪费。In addition, since the battery-mounted electric vehicles have just started in a few cities in China, the acceptance of vehicles for power exchange is not high, and it is obvious that the frequency of power exchange in the previous stage is not high. If the equipment of the power station is built in one step under the premise of low frequency of power exchange, it will cause waste of resources.
相应地,本领域需要一种新的换电站来解决上述问题。
Accordingly, there is a need in the art for a new power station to address the above issues.

下面结合图4简要说明本发明的换电站与电动汽车换电时的方法与步骤。首先,将坡道11放下,使电动汽车能够经过其驶入换电平台1,电动汽车通过导向机构141使其前轮停靠在V型滚筒组12上,使其后轮停靠在水平滚筒组13上,并因此使得电动汽车在X方向上得以固定和定位。The method and steps of the power exchange and electric vehicle switching of the present invention will be briefly described below with reference to FIG. First, the ramp 11 is lowered to enable the electric vehicle to pass through the power exchange platform 1, and the electric vehicle is parked on the V-shaped drum set 12 by the guiding mechanism 141 so that the rear wheel is parked on the horizontal roller set 13 Up, and thus the electric vehicle is fixed and positioned in the X direction.
其次,通过推杆装置14将电动汽车在Y方向上进行定位,通过前轮举升机构15和后轮举升机构16将电动汽车举升至预设高度并在Z方向上对其进行定位。Next, the electric vehicle is positioned in the Y direction by the pusher device 14, and the electric vehicle is lifted to a preset height by the front wheel lift mechanism 15 and the rear wheel lift mechanism 16 and positioned in the Z direction.
再次,换电机器人3移动至电动汽车底部并将电动汽车上的乏电电池解锁,进而换电机器人3带动乏电电池下降并将其沿顺时针旋转90°后移出,与升降机21在Y方向上进行对接,乏电电池从换电机器人3移到升降机21上。Again, the power-changing robot 3 moves to the bottom of the electric vehicle and unlocks the battery of the electric vehicle, and the power-changing robot 3 drives the battery to drop and rotates it 90 degrees clockwise, and then moves out with the elevator 21 in the Y direction. The docking is performed, and the spent battery is moved from the power-changing robot 3 to the elevator 21.
然后,升降机21上升或下将并将乏电电池沿X方向移入充电架22内,充电机23对乏电电池进行充电,与此同时或者在升降机21上的乏电电池被完全移入充电架22内后,满电电池从另一侧的充电架22上被移入升降机21上,升降机21下将或上升到与换电机器人3对接的位置。换电机器人3从升降机21上取走满电电池,并移动至电动汽车底部,进一步将满电电池沿逆时针旋转90°并将其举升,使满电电池与电动汽车定位后将其锁紧。
Then, the elevator 21 is raised or lowered and the spent battery is moved into the charging stand 22 in the X direction, and the charger 23 charges the spent battery, while the spent battery on the lift 21 is completely moved into the charging stand 22 Afterwards, the fully charged battery is moved into the elevator 21 from the charging stand 22 on the other side, and the lift 21 is raised or raised to a position where it is docked with the power-changing robot 3. The power-changing robot 3 takes the fully-charged battery from the elevator 21 and moves it to the bottom of the electric vehicle, further rotates the fully-charged battery by 90° counterclockwise and lifts it up, so that the fully-charged battery and the electric vehicle are positioned and locked. tight.
最后,升降机21升至预定位置,换电机器人3移动至第一电池充电箱2内升降机21的下方,前轮举升机构15和后轮举升机构16下降,推杆装置14收回,电动汽车驶离换电平台1,坡道11收起,换电完成。Finally, the elevator 21 is raised to the predetermined position, the power-changing robot 3 is moved to the lower side of the elevator 21 in the first battery charging box 2, the front wheel lifting mechanism 15 and the rear wheel lifting mechanism 16 are lowered, the pusher device 14 is retracted, and the electric vehicle is retracted. Drive away from the power exchange platform 1, the ramp 11 is closed, and the power is changed.
本领域技术人员容易理解的是,在电动汽车换电的过程中,换电机器人3将电动汽车上的乏电电池顺时针旋转90°再转送至第一电池充电箱2,将满电电池逆时针旋转90°再安装到电动汽车上;或者本领域技术人员可以根据具体需要使换电机器人3对乏电电池和满电电池不做旋转操作,例如,当电动汽车的动力电池包水平方向的形状为方形时。It will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that during the process of changing the electric vehicle, the power-changing robot 3 rotates the spent battery on the electric vehicle clockwise by 90° and then transfers it to the first battery charging box 2, which reverses the full-power battery. The hour hand is rotated by 90° and then mounted on the electric vehicle; or the person skilled in the art can make the power-changing robot 3 not rotate the battery for the spent battery and the full-charge battery according to specific needs, for example, when the power battery pack of the electric vehicle is horizontally oriented. When the shape is square.
本领域技术人能够理解的是,换电机器人3将乏电电池从电动汽车上取下来之后旋转90°再放入第一电池充电箱2内,使得第一电池充电箱2内的满电电池与换电平台1上的乏电电池相垂直,从而减小了第一电池充电箱2在X方向上的长度,有效地减少了第一电池充电箱2的占地面积,尤其是对于动力电池是矩形的电池。进一步,通过举升机构将电动汽车举升起来,使换电机器人3能够移动至其下方换电,使得本发明的换电站整体上只占据两个停车位的位置。It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the power-changing robot 3 rotates the battery after being taken out from the electric vehicle and then rotated 90° into the first battery charging box 2, so that the fully-charged battery in the first battery charging box 2 It is perpendicular to the spent battery on the power exchange platform 1, thereby reducing the length of the first battery charging box 2 in the X direction, effectively reducing the footprint of the first battery charging box 2, especially for the power battery It is a rectangular battery. Further, the electric vehicle is lifted by the lifting mechanism, so that the power-changing robot 3 can be moved to the lower side to change the power, so that the power-changing station of the present invention as a whole occupies only the positions of the two parking spaces.
本领域技术人员还能够理解的是,充电架22上始终具有一个空的电池充电位或者具有一个电池放置位,以便升降机21能够先将乏电电池放入该充电敬架22上,再将满电电池从充电架22上取走;或者本领域技术人员也可以适当更改换电机器人3的结构,使其能够同时容纳两块电池(满电电池和乏电电池)。换电时,换电机器人3先将满电电池运送至电动汽车的下方,再将乏电电池从电动汽车上解锁取下,进而将满电电池安装到电动汽车上,最后将乏电电池运送至第一电池充电箱2内。Those skilled in the art can also understand that the charging stand 22 always has an empty battery charging position or has a battery placement position, so that the elevator 21 can first put the spent battery into the charging stand 22, and then full. The electric battery is taken out from the charging stand 22; or the structure of the power-changing robot 3 can be appropriately changed by a person skilled in the art so that it can accommodate two batteries (full-powered battery and low-powered battery) at the same time. When the power is changed, the power-changing robot 3 first transports the fully-charged battery to the lower side of the electric vehicle, then unlocks the spent battery from the electric vehicle, and then installs the fully-charged battery to the electric vehicle, and finally transports the spent battery. Up to the first battery charging box 2.
如图5所示,当电动汽车换电频率较高,第一电池充电箱2内的电池不能满足换电要求时,还可以在与第一电池充电箱2对称的换电平台1的另一侧设置第二电池充电箱4,优选地,第二电池充电箱4与换电平台1之间通过螺栓固定连接。进一步,第一电池充电箱2和第二电池充电箱4相同,都是通过换电机器人3与电动汽车进行换电作业的。As shown in FIG. 5, when the electric vehicle has a high frequency of switching, and the battery in the first battery charging box 2 cannot meet the power-requiring requirement, the other of the power-changing platforms 1 symmetric with the first battery charging box 2 can also be used. The second battery charging box 4 is disposed on the side, and preferably, the second battery charging box 4 is fixedly connected to the power changing platform 1 by bolts. Further, the first battery charging box 2 and the second battery charging box 4 are the same, and both are exchanged with the electric vehicle by the power-changing robot 3.
