Description

电池传输系统、换电站及换电方法 技术领域
本申请涉及车辆换电技术，尤其涉及一种电池传输系统、换电站及换电方法。
背景技术
汽车技术的发展使得新能源汽车成为了汽车行业的主流发展趋势。其中，换电站是给电动汽车更换电池的设备。
如图1所示，现有的换电站1主要由换电平台11、轨道导引小车12(Rail Guided Vehicle，RGV)和电池存储机构13组成。换电平台11用于提供车辆的停放和定位，电池存储机构13用于实现电池的存储流转以及充电操作。轨道导引小车12除用于实现电池的加解锁等操作之外，还用于在换电平台11与电池存储机构13之间传输电池。
由于在换电过程中，轨道导引小车12需要驶出换电平台11后再与电池存储机构13对接以接驳电池，使得现有换电站1需要留出足够的空间，以供执行换电平台11与电池存储机构13之间的电池接驳操作，导致现有换电站1的整体占地面积的较大，不但不利于换电站的设备选址，还会增加设备的综合成本。

可选的，升降装置213可包括升降链条和驱动电机，升降链条连接第一承载结构212并通过驱动电极提供的驱动力以带动第一承载结构212相对于机构本体211上升或下降。但升降装置213的结构设置并不以上述实施例为限，亦可根据实际需求进行调整，本申请对此不作限制。
如图4所示，第二传输机构22包括第二承载结构221和通道结构2210。
第二承载结构221用于承载电池。
可选的，第二承载结构221包括呈梳齿状排列的多个第二承载件2211。
通道结构2210形成在第二承载结构221上。
于本实施例中，通道结构2210为借由相邻两个第二承载件2211之间的空隙而自然形成。
于本实施例中，第二传输机构22可与第一传输机构21处于对接位置，以供电池在第一传输机构21和第二传输机构22之间接驳。
于一实施例中，第二传输机构22可以包括载移装置222(如图5A至图5B所示)，其用于承载第二承载结构221并可相对于第一传输机构21移动，以使第一传输机构21与第二传输机构22处于对接位置。
具体地，载移装置222例如为轨道导引小车RGV，但并不以此为限，载移装置222也可利用其它具有移动功能的设备予以实现，本申请对此不作限制。
于另一实施例中，第二传输机构22也可包括电池传输装置223(如图6A和图6B所示)，其中，第二承载结构221固设于电池传输装置223邻近第一传输机构21的一端，并与第一承载结构212之间保持对接位置关系。
可选的，第二承载结构221与电池传输装置223之间可以为一体成型的结构设计予以实现，亦可采用固定连接方式予以实现。
具体而言，当第一传输机构21与第二传输机构22处于对接位置时，第一承载结构212与通道结构2210垂直对准，以供第一承载结构212在相对于机构本体211升降时，第一承载结构212可穿过通道结构2210，而使第一承载结构212的承载面在水平方向高于或低于第二承载结构221的承载面， 从而提供电池在第一承载结构212与第二承载结构221之间接驳。
如图5A和图5B所示，于本实施例中，电池6可承载于第一承载结构212的承载面212a上或第二承载结构221的承载面221a上，其中，当第一承载结构212的承载面212a由低于第二承载结构221的承载面221a的位置上升至高于第二承载结构221的承载面221a的位置时(即由图5A所示状态切换至图5B所示状态时)，可使承载于第二承载结构221的承载面221a上的电池6转移至第一承载结构212的承载面212a上；反之，当第一承载结构212的承载面212a由高于第二承载结构221的承载面221a的位置下降至低于第二承载结构221的承载面221a的位置时(即由图5B所示状态切换至图5A所示状态时)，可使承载于第一承载结构212的承载面212a上的电池转移至第二承载结构221的承载面221a上，从而实现电池6在第一承载结构212和第二承载结构221之间接驳。
呈上所述，在本申请的实施例中，第一承载结构212和第二承载结构221各自由呈梳齿状排列的多个第一承载件2121和多个第二承载件2211所构成，因此，由图2B和图2C可以清楚看出，在当第一传输机构21与第二传输机构22处于对接位置时，从俯视角度观察，各第一承载件2121与各第二承载件2211呈交错排列设置(即图2C所示状态)，也就是说，借由本申请的结构设计，缩小了第一传输机构21和第二传输机构22之间执行电池接驳所需的操作空间，并减少了电池传输系统2的整体占用面积。
较佳的，第二承载结构221还可包括调节件(未示出)，其可用于调节第二承载结构221中各第二承载件2211之间的空隙大小，以使借由相邻两个第二承载件2211之间的空隙大小所形成的通道结构2210与第一承载结构212相适配，也就是，当第一传输机构21与第二传输机构22处于对接位置时，第一承载结构212中各第一承载件2121分别与通道结构2212中的各间隙的位置相互对准。
借由此调节件的设计机制，可提供第二传输机构22的通道结构2210适用于不同规格的第一承载结构212，可以拓展第二传输机构22的使用范围。

电池传输装置223例如为辊筒传输线、链条传输线、皮带传输线等传输机构，本申请对此不作限制。
于其他实施例中，亦可不设置电池传输装置223，仅利用第二承载结构221分别与第一传输机构21和换电平台4的电池拆装机构相互对接。
如图2A所示，于本申请的一实施例中，电池存储机构5可以包括两个电池存储架5A,5B，各电池存储架5A,5B分别包括呈叠设布置的多个电池仓51，其中，第一传输机构21可设置在两个电池存储架5A,5B之间，以供第一传输机构21的第一承载结构212在升降装置213的驱动下沿垂直方向相对于机构本体211升降时，可以与电池存储架5A或5B中的一个指定的电池仓51相互对接从而在电池仓51和第一承载结构212之间进行电池的传输操作。

具体而言，可令车辆驶入并定位于换电平台上，以借由换电平台的电池拆装机构从车辆上拆卸下亏电电池，并将拆卸下的亏电电池由换电平台传输至第二传输机构的第二承载结构上。
步骤S82,控制第二传输机构与第一传输机构对接，且第一传输机构的第一承载结构的承载面沿水平方向低于第二承载结构的承载面。
于一实施例中，当第二传输机构的第二承载结构为承载于载移装置上时(即图5A和图5B所示实施例)，可在确定第一传输机构的第一承载结构的承载面沿水平方向低于第二承载结构的承载面的条件下，令载移装置承载所述亏电电池由换电平台朝第一传输机构移动，以使第二传输机构与第一传输机构处于对接位置。
还需说明的是，于另一实施例中，当第二传输机构的第二承载结构为固设于电池传输装置邻近第一传输机构的一端时(即图6A和图6B所示实施例)，第二传输机构与第一传输机构之间处于默认对接状态，则无需执行对接操作，可在确定第一传输机构的第一承载结构的承载面沿水平方向低于第二承载结构的承载面的条件下，直接借由电池传输装置将亏电电池由换电平台传送至第二承载结构。
步骤S83，控制第一承载结构相对于机构本体上升，使得第一承载结构的承载面由低于第二承载结构的承载面的位置上升至高于第二承载结构的承载面的位置，以使承载于第二承载结构的承载面上的亏电电池转移至第一承载结构的承载面上(即由图5A切换至图5B的状态)。
步骤S84，控制第一传输机构相对于机构本体升降，使得第一承载结 构与电池存储机构中的一个空置的电池仓对接，并将亏电电池由第一承载结构传输至电池仓内存储并充电。
步骤S85，控制第一承载结构相对于机构本体升降，使得第一承载结构与电池存储机构中存储有满电电池的一个电池仓对接，并将满电电池由电池仓传输至第一承载结构。
步骤S86,控制第一承载结构相对于机构本体下降，使得第一承载结构的承载面由高于第二承载结构的承载面的位置下降至低于第二承载结构的承载面的位置，以使承载于第一承载结构的承载面上的满电电池转移至第二承载结构的承载面上(即由图5B切换至图5A的状态)。
步骤S87,控制第二传输机构将满电电池传输至换电平台，并将满电电池安装至车辆上。
综上所述，本申请实施例提供的电池传输系统、换电站及换电方法，通过设置具有通道结构的第二传输机构，以供第一传输机构的第一承载结构可在升降时穿过第二传输机构的通道结构，使得第一承载结构的承载面沿水平方向高于或低于第二承载结构的承载面，从而提供电池在第一承载结构或第二承载结构之间转运，借由此设计机制，当第一传输机构和第二传输机构处于对接位置时，从俯视角度观察，第一传输机构的第一承载结构与第二传输机构的第二承载结构呈交错排列布置，因此，本申请可以大幅缩小或消除第一传输机构和第二传输机构之间的接驳区域，从而实现换电站整体占地面积的减小，不仅利于换电站的设备选址操作亦可降低设备的综合成本。
再者，由于本申请大幅缩小或消除了第一传输机构和第二传输机构之间的接驳位置，因此，可以使得换电站内换电平台和电池存储机构之间的设置距离相对缩短，从而缩短了电池在二者之间的流转路径，提高了电池接驳转运的效率。
最后应说明的是：以上实施例仅用以说明本申请实施例的技术方案，而非对其限制；尽管参照前述实施例对本申请进行了详细的说明，本领域的普通技术人员应当理解：其依然可以对前述各实施例所记载的技术方案进行修改，或者对其中部分技术特征进行等同替换；而这些修改或者替换，并不使相应技术方案的本质脱离本申请各实施例技术方案的精神和范围。
