本申请实施例,通过设置两个行车,使得在将待拆卸电池拆卸下来并将待拆卸电池运送至电池缓存装置的过程中,另一个行车可以将待安装电池安装在用电设备上。也就是说,整个换电过程是并行进行的,从而能够有效减小换电时间,进而提高用户体验。进一步地,由于通常情况下,一个充电仓需要配置一个充电机,使得电池换电的成本较高。本申请实施例将拆卸下来的待拆卸电池运送至电池缓存装置,这样,就不用过多地设置充电仓,从而降低了电池换电的成本。
在一些可能的实现方式中,所述方法还包括:在控制所述第一行车拆卸所述待拆卸电池时,控制所述第二行车将所述待安装电池从充电仓运送至所述待安装电池的安装位置。

由于通常情况下,在将待拆卸电池从电池缓存装置搬运至充电仓的过程中,需要经过换电通道,这样的话,用电设备容易对待拆卸电池的搬运产生干扰。上述技术方案在用电设备驶离换电通道后,控制第一行车或第二行车将待拆卸电池从电池缓存装置搬运至充电仓。如此,能够避免用电设备对待拆卸电池的搬运产生干扰的问题,从而保证了待拆卸电池从电池缓存装置移动至充电仓的顺利进行。
在一些可能的实现方式中,所述电池缓存装置和所述充电仓位于换电站的换电通道的两侧。

随着新能源技术的发展,电池的应用领域越来越广泛,如可作为动力源为用电设备提供动力,减少不可再生资源的使用。在用电设备中电池的电量不足以支持用电设备继续行驶的情况下,可利用充电桩等充电设备对用电设备进行充电,即对用电设备中的电池进行充电,以实现电池的充、放电循环使用。但电池充电需要花费较长时间,限制了用电设备的续航使用。
为了提高用电设备的续航使用率,换电技术应运而生。换电技术采用“车电分离”的方式,可以通过换电站为用电设备提供电池更换服务,即电池可以从用电设备上快速取下或者安装。从用电设备上取下的电池可以放入换电站的换电柜中进行充电,以备为后续进入换电站的用电设备进行换电。
在目前常规技术中,对用电设备的电池进行换电的整个工作过程是串行进行的。具体而言,在用电设备停驻在换电平台后,用于更换电池的装置移动到用电设备处,将待拆卸电池从用电设备上拆卸下来。然后,再将待拆卸电池搬运至电池存放机构(如充电仓或电池缓存装置)。接下来,该装置获取到待安装电池,并将待安装电池运送至用电设备处。之后,将待安装电池安装到用电设备上。
显然,这种工作方式所需的时间较长,进而导致用电设备的换电时间较长,影 响用户体验。
基于此,本申请实施例提供了一种电池换电的方法,通过设置两个行车,使得在将待拆卸电池拆卸下来并将待拆卸电池运送至电池缓存装置的过程中,另一个行车可以将待安装电池安装在用电设备上。也就是说,整个换电过程是并行进行的,从而能够有效减小换电时间,进而提高用户体验。进一步地,由于通常情况下,一个充电仓需要配置一个充电机,使得电池换电的成本较高。本申请实施例将拆卸下来的待拆卸电池运送至电池缓存装置,这样,就不用过多地设置充电仓,从而降低了电池换电的成本。
图1示出了本申请实施例的电池换电的方法的应用场景的一种示意图。如图1所示,该电池换电的方法的应用场景可涉及到换电站11、用电设备12和电池。
换电站11可指为用电设备提供换电服务的场所。例如,换电站11可以为固定的场所,或者,换电站11可为如移动换电车辆等可移动场所,在此并不限定。
用电设备12可与电池可拆卸连接。在一些示例中,用电设备12可以是小汽车、重型卡车等以动力电池为动力源的车辆。
电池可包括设置在用电设备12内的电池和位于换电站11中用于换电的电池。为了便于区分,如图1所示,用电设备12内的待拆卸电池记作电池141,换电站中用于换电的电池记作电池142。从电池的种类而言,该电池可以是锂离子电池、锂金属电池、铅酸电池、镍隔电池、镍氢电池、锂硫电池、锂空气电池或者钠离子电池等,在本申请实施例中不做具体限定。从电池规模而言,该电池可以是电池包、电芯/电池单体,也可以是电池模组。
电池除了可作为动力源为用电设备的电机供电,还可为用电设备中的其他用电器件供电,例如,该电池还可为车内空调、车载播放器等供电。
当安装有电池141的用电设备12驶入换电站11之后,换电站11通过换电装置将电池141从用电设备12取下,并从换电站11中取出电池142,然后将电池142安装到用电设备辆12上。之后安装有电池142的用电设备12可以驶离换电站11。通过该换电技术,可以在几分钟、甚至数十秒内对用电设备进行快速的能量补充,提高了用户的体验。
如图1所示,换电站11中可设置有换电柜13。换电柜13包括电池管理单元(battery management unit,BMU)131。此外,换电柜13还可设置有多个充电仓132,用于换电的电池可放置于充电仓132中。
换电站11还可对应设置有管理装置。该管理装置可为集中式结构,也可为分布式结构,在此并不限定。管理装置可设置在换电站11内,也可以设置在换电站11外。在管理装置为分布式结构的情况下,管理装置还可以部分设置在换电站11内,部分设置在换电站11外。例如,如图1所示,管理装置可以包括换电站11内的站控系统151和换电站11外的云端服务器152,在此并不限定。
可选地,BMU 131可通过有线或无线方式与其他单元、模块、装置等进行通信交互。站控系统151可通过有线或无线方式与其他单元、模块、装置等进行通信交互。有线通信方式例如可以包括制器局域网(control area network,CAN)通信方式、菊花 链(daisy chain)通信方式。无线通信方式例如可以包括蓝牙通信、无线保真(wireless fidelity,WIFI)通信、ZigBee通信等各种方式,在此并不限定。
例如,站控系统151可以与BMU 131进行通信,以获取用电设备12上的电池141或充电仓133内的电池142的相关信息。再例如,站控系统151也可以与云端服务器152之间进行通信,以获取用电设备12上的电池141或充电仓133内的电池142的相关信息。
图2示出了本申请实施例的一种电池换电的方法200的示意性流程图。方法200可以包括以下内容中的至少部分内容。
S210:控制第一行车拆卸用电设备的待拆卸电池。
S220:在第一行车将待拆卸电池拆卸下来后且控制第一行车将待拆卸电池运送至电池缓存装置的过程中,控制第二行车将待安装电池安装在用电设备上。
方法200可以应用于换电站中。如前文所述,换电站可以为固定的场所,也可以为可移动场所。方法200可由换电站中的管理装置执行,例如由站控系统执行,如图1中的站控系统151。示例性地,在用电设备停驻在换电站的换电通道后,站控系统可以执行方法200。
其中,站控系统可以通过无线的方式与第一行车和第二行车进行通信,以执行方法200。例如,通过蓝牙通信、WIFI通信或ZigBee通信等无线通信方式与第一行车和第二行车进行通信。
可选地,待拆卸电池可以为亏电电池,待安装电池可以为满电电池。
或者,待拆卸电池可以为异常电池,如发生热失控的电池,或者形状出现变形的电池等。此时,待安装电池也可以为满电电池,或者也可以为电量与待拆卸电池的电量相同,但未发生热失控或形状出现变形的电池。
用电设备可以为电动车辆,也可以为船舶或航天器等。电动车辆例如可以为重型卡车,如洒水车、消防车、拉土车、载货车等。据分析,重型卡车总体市场保有量约为700万辆,超过70%的重型卡车24小时运营(两班倒或三班倒)。在这种情况下,用电设备为重型卡车,能够提高重型卡车的使用体验。并且对于重型卡车来说,相较于充电,换电模式能够有效解决充电车位稀缺、电池容量大、充电时间长等痛点。
第一行车和第二行车的形状和大小可以相同,也可以不同,本申请实施例对此不作具体限定。
第一行车和第二行车之间可以进行通信。例如,第一行车和第二行车之间可以通过有线或无线方式进行通信。
电池缓存装置可以理解为任何可以放置电池但不对电池进行充电的装置。其中,换电站可以包括一个或者多个电池缓存装置,并且一个电池缓存装置可以放置一个电池也可以放置多个电池。
应理解,在本申请实施例中,“第一”和“第二”仅仅为了区分不同的对象,但并不对本申请实施例的范围构成限制。
本申请实施例,通过设置两个行车,使得在将待拆卸电池拆卸下来并将待拆卸电池运送至电池缓存装置的过程中,另一个行车可以将待安装电池安装在用电设备上。 也就是说,整个换电过程是并行进行的,从而能够有效减小换电时间,进而提高用户体验。进一步地,由于通常情况下,一个充电仓需要配置一个充电机,使得电池换电的成本较高。本申请实施例将拆卸下来的待拆卸电池运送至电池缓存装置,这样,就不用过多地设置充电仓,从而降低了电池换电的成本。
考虑到换电站的充电仓可能距离用电设备的停驻位置较远,为了进一步减少换电时间,在一些实施例中,方法200还可以包括:在控制第一行车拆卸待拆卸电池时,控制第二行车从充电仓将待安装电池运送至待安装电池的安装位置。
充电仓为可以对电池进行充电的装置,例如,可以为图1中的充电仓132。换电站可以包括至少一个充电仓。
可选地,可以控制第二行车从距离用电设备最远的充电仓中取出待安装电池,也可以控制第二行车从距离用电设备最近的充电仓中取出待安装电池,或者,也可以控制第二行车从所有充电仓中任意取出待安装电池,再或者,可以根据第一行车拆卸待拆卸电池所需要的时长确定从哪个充电仓中取待安装电池。
上述技术方案,控制第一行车拆卸待拆卸电池的操作和第二行车将待安装电池从充电仓运送至安装位置的操作同时进行,也就是在电池换电的过程中,多个操作是并行进行的,如此,能够进一步减少换电时间,提高换电效率。
如上文所述,待拆卸电池可能为亏电电池,因此在将待拆卸电池拆卸下来后,需要对待拆卸电池进行充电。因此,在一些实施例中,方法200还可以包括:控制第一行车或第二行车将待拆卸电池从电池缓存装置搬运至充电仓,以使充电仓对待拆卸电池进行充电。
作为一种示例,第一行车和第二行车可以分别位于换电通道的两侧。如此,能够避免第一行车和第二行车在工作过程中发生冲突,比如轨迹重叠的问题。
在这种情况下,由于待拆卸电池与第一行车位于同一侧,因此,方法200具体可以为:控制第一行车将待拆卸电池缓存装置搬运至充电仓。
作为另一种示例,第一行车和第二行车可以位于换电通道的同一侧。比如,均位于换电通道的左侧。
在这种情况下,方法200具体可以包括:控制第一行车和第二行车中处于空闲状态的行车将待拆卸电池搬运至充电仓。或者,控制第一行车和第二行车中的任意一个行车将待拆卸电池搬运至充电仓。
再或者,交替控制第一行车和第二行车将待拆卸电池搬运至充电仓。比如,在对上一个用电设备的电池进行换电时,控制第一行车将上一个用电设备的待拆卸电池搬运至充电仓,那么在对当前用电设备的电池进行换电时,则控制第二行车将待拆卸电池搬运至充电仓。如此,能够避免使用固定的行车将待拆卸电池搬运至充电仓,从而导致该行车的使用寿命大大减小的问题,有利地提高了行车的使用寿命。
上述技术方案,在将待拆卸电池运送至电池缓存装置后,并且控制行车将待拆卸电池搬运至充电仓,使得拆卸电池能够及时地充上电,以为下一次用电设备的换电做好准备,避免了待安装电池不够用的情况。
在一种实现方式中,可以在待拆卸电池拆卸下来后,立即控制第一行车或第二 行车将待拆卸电池从电池缓存装置搬运至充电仓。
在另一种实现方式中,可以在待拆卸电池拆卸下来并间隔预定时间后,控制第一行车或第二行车将待拆卸电池从电池缓存装置搬运至充电仓。
由于通常情况下,在将待拆卸电池从电池缓存装置搬运至充电仓的过程中,需要经过换电通道,这样的话,用电设备容易对待拆卸电池的搬运产生干扰。因此,在再一种实现方式中,可以在用电设备驶离换电通道后,控制第一行车或第二行车将待拆卸电池从电池缓存装置搬运至充电仓。
如此,能够避免用电设备对待拆卸电池的搬运产生干扰的问题,从而保证了待拆卸电池从电池缓存装置移动至充电仓的顺利进行。
在一些实施例中,电池缓存装置和充电仓位于换电通道的两侧。
该技术方案,将电池缓存装置和充电仓设置在换电通道的两侧,使得电池的拆卸过程和安装过程之间不会相互干扰,有利地保证了换电过程的正常进行。
为了更加清楚地理解本申请实施例的电池换电的方法,以下结合图3-图7描述本申请一种可能的实施例的电池换电的方法。需要说明的是,图3-图6的顺序即为电池换电的顺序。
其中,在图3-图7中,H为换电通道,A为待安装电池,B为待拆卸电池。
首先,如图3所示,在用电设备停驻在换电通道后,控制第一行车拆卸待拆卸电池,并且控制第二行车将待安装电池从充电仓运送至待安装电池的安装位置。
接下来,如图4所示,控制第一行车将待拆卸电池运送至电池缓存装置,并且控制第二行车将待安装电池安装在用电设备上。即待安装电池和待拆卸电池是同步移动的。
再接下来,如图5所示,第一行车将待拆卸电池运送到了电池缓存装置,并且第二行车将待安装电池安装在了用电设备上。
之后,如图6所示,在用电设备的电池更换完之后,用电设备驶离换电站。此时,控制第一行车将待拆卸电池从电池缓存装置搬运至充电仓。
最后,如图7所示,第一行车将待拆卸电池搬运至充电仓,并且充电仓对待拆卸电池进行充电。至此,整个换电过程结束。
在本申请实施例中,上述各过程的序号的大小并不意味着执行顺序的先后,各过程的执行顺序应以其功能和内在逻辑确定,而不应对本申请实施例的实施过程构成任何限定。
并且,在不冲突的前提下,本申请描述的各个实施例和/或各个实施例中的技术特征可以任意的相互组合,组合之后得到的技术方案也应落入本申请的保护范围。
上文详细描述了本申请实施例的电池换电的方法,下面将描述本申请实施例的电池换电的装置和站控系统。
