Description
本申请要求申请日为2022/12/1的中国专利申请CN202211539297X的优先权。本申请引用上述中国专利申请的全文。
本发明涉及换电设备技术领域,特别涉及一种换电设备及其装配方法。
现有换电车辆的电池安装一般分为固定式和可换式,针对可换式的电池一般采用活动安装的方式,电池可以随时取下,以进行更换或充电,在更换或充电完毕后,再安装到车体上。
在换电站中对换电车辆的电池包进行更换时,需要换电设备相对于换电车辆进行精确定位,才能保证电池包被换电设备顺利地拆卸和安装。而现有的换电设备基本是沿着垂直于换电车辆的行驶方向的轨道行驶,仅能在轨道的延伸方向和垂直于轨道的延伸方向上进行位置调整,如果换电车辆相对于其行驶方向存在一定的角度倾斜,则可能导致换电设备无法相对于换电车辆进行精确定位,从而导致电池包的拆卸和安装无法顺利进行。又由于换电车辆由于其重量和体积较大,很难以精确的姿态被停靠在准确的位置,特别是对于重型卡车,因此,需要通过换电设备进行调整以相对于换电车辆准确定位。
发明内容
本发明要解决的技术问题是为了克服现有技术换电车辆停放不到位而导致的换电设备与换电车辆不对应而难以定位并换电的缺陷,提供一种换电设备及其装配方法。
本发明是通过下述技术方案来解决上述技术问题:
一种换电设备,可沿预设轨道行走以为换电车辆进行底盘式换电,所述换电设备包括:

其中,所述换电模块在所述第二行走轮组被驱动时能够以所述第一行走轮组为支点在水平面内旋转以与所述换电车辆的电池对位。
在本方案中,采用上述结构形式,将换电设备模块化设置,便于在换电设备的各个模块上安装所需部件,提高安装效率,缩短各个模块的生产周期,同时便于工作人员进行拆卸和修配,增强了换电设备应用的灵活性和广泛性,使得换电设备的适用性更强。在换电模块两侧分别设置第一行走模块和第二行走模块,采用举升机构驱动换电平台,便于各个机构的独立运行,也保证了换电设备可以从换电车辆的底部进入以对换电车辆进行换电的安全性。同时,换电模块能够以第一行走轮组为支点在水平面内旋转,使得在换电车辆停靠位置存在偏差的情况下,换电设备可以通过转动实现与换电车辆之间的精确定位,进而保证换电的精确性,提高换电效率。
一种换电设备的装配方法,适用于上述的换电设备,所述装配方法包括以下步骤:
将举升机构和换电平台安装在框架主体内形成换电模块;
将第一行走轮组进行组装形成第一行走模块;
将第二行走轮组进行组装形成第二行走模块;
将所述第一行走模块和所述第二行走模块分别安装于所述换电模块沿行走方向的两侧形成所述换电设备。
在本方案中,将换电设备采用模块化装配,由于各模块整体结构较小,便于装配;且将所需要的对应机构分别组装至各个模块内,可以降低装配的复杂性以及错误发生的可能性。同时,可以根据各个模块之间的连接关系及位置关系进行组装,工作人员可以根据实际状况按需组装各个模块,增强了对单个模块组装和调试的灵活性。进一步地,按照实际情况将其他各部件分别安装在对应的各个模块之后,再根据各个模块内的部件之间的连接关系和位置关系等将这些模块相互组装在一起,可以节省各模块相互组装之前,现场装配所占据的空间。
本发明的积极进步效果在于:

采用上述结构形式,将换电设备100模块化设置,便于在换电设备100的各个模块上安装所需部件,提高安装效率,缩短各个模块的生产周期,同时便于工作人员进行拆卸和修配,增强了换电设备100应用的灵活性和广泛性,使得换电设备100的适用性更强。在换电模块1两侧分别设置第一行走模块2和第二行走模块3,采用举升机构12驱动换电平台13,便于各个机构的独立运行,也保证了换电设备100可以从换电车辆的底部进入以对换电车辆进行换电的安全性。同时,换电模块1能够以第一行走轮组21为支点在水平面内旋转,使得在换电车辆停靠位置存在偏差的情况下,换电设备100可以通过转动进行姿态调整以实现与换电车辆之间的精确定位,进而保证换电的精确性,提高换电效率。其中,换电设备100的行走方向即为图1中预设轨道101的长度延伸方向。

二行走架32相连,第二滑轨331与第二行走轮组31相连。具体的,在本实施例中,第三行走轮组22前后两侧的两个第一滑轨251、第一滑块252的高度对应相同,第二行走轮组31前后两侧的两个第二滑轨331、第二滑块332的高度对应相同,使得第三行走轮组22和第二行走轮组31的受力更加均衡,运行更加平稳,避免因高度设置不同导致偏心力的产生,影响换电设备100移动的稳定性。
在本实施例中,第一行走架23内还设有第一连接座26,第三行走轮组22的前侧和后侧分别通过第一滑动组件25与第一连接座26相连,第一连接座26的上方和下方各自通过第二旋转组件27与第一行走架23相连;第二行走架32内还设有第二连接座34,第二行走轮组31的前侧和后侧分别通过第二滑动组件33与第二连接座34相连,第二连接座34的上方和下方各自通过第二旋转组件27与第二行走架32相连。采用上述结构形式,使得第三行走轮组22可相对第一连接座26滑动,第二行走轮组31可相对第二连接座34滑动,第一连接座26和第二连接座34可分别相对第一行走架23和第二行走架32转动;另外第三行走轮组22的前后两侧均设有第一滑动组件25,第二行走轮组31的前后两侧均设有第二滑动组件33,使得第三行走轮组22和第二行走轮组31的滑动更加稳定,避免滑动偏离预设的滑动轨迹;以及通过滑动与转动的配合,提高换电设备100在水平面旋转的平稳性和流畅性。具体的,在本实施例中,第一连接座26与第一行走架23之间,以及第二连接座34与第二行走架32之间在沿行走方向上均是具有预设间隙的,以便于各行走轮组的无障碍旋转。具体的,预设间隙的设定是安装在设计换电设备时,基于换电设备相对第一、第二行走轮组转动的范围来设定,确保换电设备在转动过程中,第一连接座26与第一行走架23之间不会干涉,第二连接座34与第二行走架32之间不会干涉。第二旋转组件27采用圆锥滚子轴承,在其他可选的实施方式中,第二旋转组件27也可以采用其他能够实现相对旋转功能的部件。另外,在本实施例中,第三行走轮组22除了不具有动力部件外,其他结构与第二行走轮组31相同。
在本实施例中,第二滑动组件33上设有具有锁定状态和解锁状态的锁止机构,锁止机构处于锁定状态时可限制第二滑动组件33相对滑动,使得第二行走轮组31被驱动时可带动换电设备100沿预设轨道101行走;锁止机构处于解锁状态时第二滑动组件33可相对滑动,使得第二行走轮组31被驱动时,第二行走轮组31沿预设轨道101移动预设距离,可带动换电设备100以第一行走轮组21为支点在水平面内旋转从而实现换电模块1与换电车辆的电池对位。在换电设备100沿预设轨道101限定的行走方向行走至与换电车辆的电池对位的过程中,锁止机构处于锁定状态,即第二滑动组件33的第二滑轨331和第二滑块332之间无法相对滑动,从而换电设备100在前期行走过程中不会因为第二滑动组件33的滑动而晃动,进而提高了换电设备100在行走时的平稳性;在换电设备100行走到换电车辆下方后,再将锁止机构转变为解锁状态,使第二滑轨331与第二滑块332之间能够相对滑动,进而再对换电设备100与换电车辆之间的相对角度进行调整。
在本实施例中,锁止机构包括可伸缩的锁止杆,当锁止机构处于锁定状态时,锁止杆自原始位置伸出并在预设位置抵住第二滑轨331以限制第二滑轨331与第二滑块332的相对移动;当锁止机构处于解锁状态时,锁止杆缩回至原始位置。通过将锁止杆设置为可伸缩的,实现了锁止机构锁定状态和解锁状态的切换,也就实现了对第二滑动组件33能否滑动的控制。其中,锁止杆伸出压紧第二滑轨331时通过摩擦力阻止第二滑块332相对第二滑轨331滑动。
在本实施例中,锁止杆有两个,两个锁止杆分别设置于第二滑轨331的上下侧面,因此,锁止杆的伸缩方向指向第二滑轨331的侧面,且锁止杆的端部形状与第二滑轨331侧面的形状相配合。两个锁止杆分别自第二滑轨331的上下两侧作用于第二滑轨331,从而在锁止过程中两个锁止杆能够夹紧第二滑轨331,使得摩擦力更大,锁止效果更好。其中,锁止杆的端部的形状与第二滑轨331侧面的形状相配合,使得锁止杆与第二滑轨331的卡合更加牢固,有利于进一步提高锁止杆的锁止效果,避免锁止杆脱离第二滑轨331。在其他可选的实施方式中,也可以在第二滑轨331中设置供锁止杆插入的锁止孔进行锁合,这种结构形式可以进一步提高限制第二滑动组件33滑动的可靠性。

态时第二滑动组件33可相对滑动。
在换电设备100沿预设轨道101限定的行走方向行走至与换电车辆的电池对位的过程中,锁止机构处于锁定状态,即第二滑动组件33的第二滑轨331和第二滑块332之间无法相对滑动,从而换电设备100在前期行走过程中不会因为第二滑动组件33的滑动而晃动,进而提高了换电设备100在行走时的平稳性;在换电设备100行走到换电车辆下方后,再将锁止机构转变为解锁状态,使第二滑轨331与第二滑块332之间能够相对滑动,进而再对换电设备100与换电车辆之间的相对角度进行调整。

通过将锁止杆设置为可伸缩的,实现了锁止机构锁定状态和解锁状态的切换,也就实现了对第二滑动组件33能否滑动的控制。其中,锁止杆伸出压紧第二滑轨331时通过摩擦力阻止第二滑块332相对第二滑轨331滑动,或者采用锁止杆插入第二滑轨331内的方式进一步提高限制第二滑动组件33滑动的可靠性。
在本实施例中,锁止杆的伸缩方向指向第二滑轨331的侧面,且锁止杆的端部形状与第二滑轨331侧面的形状相配合;锁止杆有两个,两锁止杆分别设置于第二滑轨331的上下侧面;
装配方法在在锁止机构中安装锁止杆的步骤中还包括以下步骤:
将锁止杆的伸缩方向设置为指向第二滑轨331的侧面;
在第二滑轨331的上下侧面分别安装锁止杆。
两个锁止杆分别自第二滑轨331的上下两侧作用于第二滑轨331,从而在锁止过程中两个锁止杆能够夹紧第二滑轨331,使得摩擦力更大,锁止效果更好。其中,锁止杆的端部的形状与第二滑轨331侧面的形状相配合,使得锁止杆与第二滑轨331的卡合更加牢固,有利于进一步提高锁止杆的锁止效果,避免锁止杆脱离第二滑轨331。在其他可选的实施方式中,也可以在第二滑轨331中设置供锁止杆插入的锁止孔进行锁合,通过锁止杆和锁止孔的销孔配合方式,进一步提高锁止效果。

实施例3
本实施例提供一种换电设备100,该换电设备100与实施例1中的换电设备100在结构上大体相同,不同之处主要在于第一行走架23内设有止动组件8,以下结合图19至图22进行阐述,止动组件8设置于第一行走架23和第一连接座26之间;第二行走架32内设有止动组件8,止动组件8设置于第二行走架32和第二连接座34之间;止动组件8具有锁定状态和解锁状态,分别用于锁定或解锁第一行走架23与第一连接座26之间的相对转动状态或第二行走架32与第二连接座34之间的相对转动状态。第一连接座26通过止动组件8能够在换电设备100移动时锁定其与第一行走架23之间的相对位置,进而避免第一行走轮组21和第三行走轮组22转动运动的发生,第二连接座通过止动组件8能够在换电设备100移动时锁定其与第二行走架32之间的相对位置,进而避免第二行走轮组31转动运动的发生,使得换电设备100在移动时更为平稳,不会因为转动而晃动。而在换电设备100需要调整姿态与电动车辆对位时,通过解锁止动组件8,使第一连接座26和第二连接座34可相对第一行走架23和第二行走架32运动,从而换电设备100可相对扭转以与换电车辆对位,方便拆装电池。
