在图1至图3中,分别基于不同视角示范性地大致展示出了一个根据本发明的电池储运系统实施例的基本结构构造,其中同时示出了两个电池存储架1以及布置在它们之间的电池运输装置2,这两个电池存储架1均被示例性地显示为设置有多个根据本发明所提供的电池库位3,下面就通过结合该系统实施例来详细说明本发明的技术方案。
在这个电池储运系统示例中,电池存储架1是被提供用于存储电池,并且可以通过布置在该电池存储架1上或其附近的各种适宜的充电装置来对电池进行充电补能,这样的电池包括但不限于例如从纯电动车辆、混合动力车辆等类型车辆上卸下的亏电电池、故障电池 等。具体来讲,如图1所示,根据实际应用需求情况,可以在电池存储架1上设置一个或多个电池库位3用来作为电池的存储空间,例如在工作现场空间充裕并且电池需求量很大的情形下,可以将更多数量的电池库位3可选地沿着竖直方向进行层叠布置,与之相反地也可以非常方便、快捷地将超过场地许可容量或者不需要的电池库位3从电池存储架1上拆卸下来以形成紧凑布局,如此不仅可以使得本系统的电池存储及充电能力具有相当灵活的可扩展性,而且能够非常有效地提升空间利用率。
对于每一个电池库位3来讲,可以在该电池库位3中配置传送部件4以及例如在图3至图6中示例性图示出的定位导向件5、定位块6、定位块7等定位部件。其中,传送部件4可以采用例如输送辊筒、输送带或者输送链等部件形式,用来与电池运输装置2进行电池交接运输,即将经由电池运输装置2运载到达该电池库位3处的电池11移入到电池库位内部的预定位置处,以便于对其进行例如安全存储、补充电量、移出电池库位等多种可能操作。为了保证能够将电池11准确可靠地安放布置在上述预定位置中而不会出现位置偏移、错位等不期望情形,在根据本发明所提供的电池库位3中特别设置了定位部件,通过设置此类具有与电池11的外形轮廓(例如电池的机加表面特征)相适配结构的定位部件用来引导、约束并限定电池11在电池库位3中的位置,以促使电池11能够最终位于所期望的预定位置中。应当指出的是,在本发明中采用以上方式,不仅可以实现电池11在三维空间内非常简便、可靠且精准的定位,而且尤其能够极大地降低现有装置本身的复杂性以及制造和维护成本。
作为举例说明,在图4、图5和图6中分别示意性地展示出用来提供上述定位部件功能的定位导向件5、定位块6和定位块7的基本结构构造。对于定位导向件5,可以将其布置在电池库位3的内部两侧,以便用来在传送部件4将电池11移入电池库位3的过程中将电池11引导朝向所期望的预定位置移动。在这个示例中,通过在该定位导向件5上可选地设置导向倾角51、52,使得它们与电池11上的相对应结构特征进行匹配接触,就可以引导电池11按照期望的运动轨迹移动到达电池库位3内部的预定位置处。
可以理解的是,上述带有导向倾角51、52的定位导向件5能够实现电池11在电池库位3内的运动轨迹方向上的初步定位,其中,设置在定位导向件5的端部的导向倾角51将有利于快速地引导电池11进入到预期的运动轨迹中,并且通过将导向倾角52设置在定位导向件5的侧部并使其沿着定位导向件5的长度方向延伸而呈长条状,这样就能一直保证该电池11在上述的预期运动轨迹内进行持续运动,直到将该电池11运送到达电池库位3内部的预定位置处,即实现了电池11在电池库位3内部的精确定位。
此外,对于定位块6和定位块7,如图3所示,这些定位块是被分别布置在电池库位 3内部的预定位置的端部区域中,以便能够通过它们与电池11上相对应的两个端部进行抵触来限制了电池11在电池库位3内部的进一步运动,从而即可将该电池11非常精确可靠地定位在所期望的预定位置中,以便随后针对该电池11进行例如安全存储、补充电量、移出电池库位等多种可能操作。
作为示例性说明,在可选情形下,可以如图5和图6所示地在定位块6、定位块7上分别设置凹进部61、凹进部71,这样的凹进部是被构造成与设置在电池11的两个端部处的对应凸出部的外形轮廓相互匹配,从而可以通过这些凹进部与凸出部的匹配性抵触来使得电池11精确就位于上述预定位置中。
请结合参阅图1至图3,下面将详细介绍根据本发明所提供的用于运送电池的电池运输装置示例,该电池可以是经由例如通常被称为“换电小车(RGV)”的传送机构从系统外部交接传送给电池运输装置2。在给出的实施例中,电池运输装置2采用了升降机形式并且使用了多组输送辊筒,然而应当理解的是,本发明完全允许电池运输装置2可以采用更多的实现形式(例如,在某些情形下可使用输送带或输送链来传送电池),并且电池运输装置2还被允许具有可能更为复杂的结构,例如为它配置一个或多个速度传感器用来检测电池运输装置2的运行速度,以便能够更加精确、及时地控制电池运输装置2的实际运行,实现电池11在电池运输装置2上的精确可靠定位。
借助于电池运输装置2,可以使其首先装载从上述传送机构传送过来的电池11(该电池例如是从纯电动车辆、混合动力车辆等类型车辆上卸下的已经亏电或者发生了故障、异常情况等),然后由电池运输装置2将该电池11运送到电池存储架1中的任何一个适宜的空置的电池库位3处,并且可通过实施二次抬升操作来使得此时采用升降机形式的电池运输装置2与电池库位3的仓口在竖直方向上对齐彼此位置,随后将该电池11与该电池库位3的传送部件4进行交接,再由传送部件4与以上所讨论的定位部件进行配合,从而将电池11非常精确可靠地限定在电池库位3内部的预定位置。不难理解的是,与以上过程相反,也可以使用电池运输装置2将位于电池存储架1的任何一个电池库位3中的合适电池11(如已满载电量或者已补充大部分电量)从该电池库位3的传送部件4转接移出该电池库位,然后将该电池11向外传送以满足应用需要,例如将该电池11运送并安装到停驻在换电平台上的待换电的车辆上,从而完成车辆的换电操作。
为了保证电池运输装置2能够对电池11进行安全可靠的运输,可以在电池运输装置2设置限位部件,这样的限位部件是被构造成具有与电池11的外形轮廓相适配的结构,从而可以将电池11非常准确可靠地限定在电池运输装置2上的预定位置中。
举例来讲,在图3中采用俯视角度示意性地示出了以上实施例的立体结构,其中清 楚图示出了仅作为示例的限位导向件8和定位块9、10。如图3所示,限位导向件8是被设置在电池运输装置2的内部两侧,通过其来引导电池11在电池运输装置2内按照预期的运动轨迹进行移动,由此实现电池11在该运动轨迹方向上的初步定位。对于上述两个定位块9、10,它们是被设置在电池运输装置2内部的端部,它们是用来与电池11的外形轮廓中的一个区段进行抵触,从而可以约束电池11在电池运输装置2上的移动运动,并将该电池11最终精确定位在电池运输装置2内的预定位置中,以便随后进行安全可靠的电池运输操作。
可以理解的是,由于在前文中已经针对电池库位3内的定位导向件5、定位块6、定位块7等这些定位部件的结构进行了非常详尽的描述,它们相应的结构特征(例如导向倾角、凹进部等)均可以分别应用到电池运输装置2的限位导向件8、定位块9和定位块10上,因此可以直接参阅前述相应部分的具体说明,在此不再赘述。此外,在给出的实施例中是将定位导向件5、限位导向件8均构造成具有长条形状,采用这样的结构构造是非常有利于在将电池运输装置2与上述传送机构之间进行电池对接、或者将电池运输装置2与电池库位3内的传送部件4之间进行电池对接时实现简单、可靠且准确的电池定位,而且其设计结构小巧紧凑,占用空间非常少,并且具有良好的可调节性,能够有效防止并保护电池在运输过程中受到碰撞损伤。
此外,根据本发明的另一个技术方案,还提供了一种电池操作平台,可以在该电池操作平台上设置一个或多个根据本发明所设计提供的电池储运系统,以便通过这样的系统用来对电池进行安全可靠地存储、充电、运输等操作,并且尤其保证在这些操作期间能够有效实现电池的简便、可靠且精确的定位。应当理解的是,上述电池操作平台所能实现的操作包括但不限于进行换电、充电、电池信息(如电池荷电状态、健康度、使用次数等)监控等,上述电池在完成充电补能之后可将其装载到例如纯电动车辆、混合动力车辆等各种类型的新能源车辆上投入使用。
以上仅以举例方式来详细阐明根据本发明的电池库位、电池运输装置、电池储运系统和电池操作平台,这些个例仅供说明本发明的原理及其实施方式之用,而非对本发明的限制,在不脱离本发明的精神和范围的情况下,本领域技术人员还可以做出各种变形和改进。例如,在某些实际应用场合下,可以将前述电池运输装置2上的定位块仅设置为一个或三个以上,也就是说这些定位块的具体数量及其布置位置、实际结构构造等方面均被允许进行选择调整的。又如,尽管在前述实施例中设置了两个电池存储架1,并将它们布置在电池运输装置2的两侧,然而在一些实施例中是有可能仅在电池运输装置2的附近布置一个电池存储架1以适应布局空间有限的工作现场,或者也有可能沿着上述两个电池存储架1的各自布置方向以串联方式增加更多个的电池存储架以提升电池存储容量。因此,所有等同的技术方案 均应属于本发明的范畴并为本发明的各项权利要求所限定。
