- the control device can determine whether the overlap rate of the orthographic projection area of the battery swapping device on the ground and the orthographic projection area of the battery to be replaced on the ground meets the preset in-place condition; once the in-place condition is met, it is considered that the battery swapping device has basically moved to the orthographic projection area of the battery to be replaced on the ground, and the control device can control the battery swapping device to stop moving, so that the battery swapping device stops steadily in the orthographic projection area of the battery to be replaced on the ground.

- the control device can control the battery swap device to adjust its own posture.
- the purpose of this adjustment is to make the posture of the battery swap device match the posture information of the battery to be replaced, that is, to match the posture of the battery swap device with that of the battery to be replaced.
- the control device can generate a corresponding posture adjustment instruction based on the difference between the posture information of the battery to be replaced and the initial posture of the battery swap device, and adjust the posture of the battery swap device based on the posture adjustment instruction until the posture of the battery swap device matches that of the battery to be replaced.
- the posture of the battery swap device matches that of the battery to be replaced, it can be considered that the battery swap device has been aligned with the battery to be replaced, that is, the battery swap device has completed the preparation for battery replacement; at this time, the battery swap device can start to dock with the battery to be replaced based on its current posture, and remove the bolts and other mounting parts of the battery to be replaced, thereby successfully removing the battery to be replaced from the target device.

- the ranging sensor can be set on the upper plane of the battery swapping device, or on the side plane of the ranging device; in the case where there are more than two ranging sensors, the ranging sensors can all be set on the upper plane of the battery swapping device, or all be set on the side plane of the battery swapping device, or partly be set on the upper plane of the battery swapping device, and partly be set on the side plane of the battery swapping device.
- the control device determines that the battery swapping device has moved to the projection area of the battery to be replaced on the ground based on the positioning result of the battery swapping device, the control device can trigger the ranging sensor to start working.
- the posture information of the battery to be replaced that the control device is concerned about may actually be equivalent to the posture information of the lower plane of the battery to be replaced.
- the posture information can be represented by a posture angle, and the posture angle of the lower plane of the battery to be replaced can be considered to be the posture angle of the battery to be replaced; wherein, the posture angle of the lower plane of the battery to be replaced specifically refers to: the angle between the lower plane of the battery to be replaced and the upper plane of the initial battery replacement device. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, the posture information of the battery to be replaced includes: the angle between the lower plane of the battery to be replaced and the upper plane of the initial battery replacement device.
- the control device needs to obtain at least three ranging points for the lower plane of the battery to be replaced through the ranging sensor, so as to accurately obtain the posture information of the lower plane of the battery to be replaced, that is, the posture information of the battery to be replaced.
- the control device can measure the posture of the battery to be replaced in the following way:
- A1 Obtain at least three distance measurement values by measuring the lower plane of the battery to be replaced through various distance measurement sensors.
- the upper plane of the battery swap device is parallel or approximately parallel to the ground. Since the battery swap device has been moved to the projection area of the battery to be replaced on the ground, and the distance sensor is measuring upward perpendicular to the upper plane of the battery swap device, the distance sensor will actually mark the distance measurement point on the lower plane of the battery to be replaced; that is, according to the position of the battery swap device and the measurement direction of the distance sensor, it can be known that the distance sensor actually measures: the distance between the lower plane of the battery to be replaced and the distance sensor.
- each distance measuring sensor can measure a corresponding distance measuring value; therefore, when there are at least three distance measuring sensors, the control device can obtain at least three distance measuring values accordingly.
- A2 Calculate the posture information of the battery to be replaced based on each ranging value and the position information of each ranging sensor.
- the position information of the ranging sensor may include the distance information between each ranging sensor and other ranging sensors, and may also include the coordinate information of each ranging sensor in the plane coordinate system of the upper plane of the battery swapping device, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
- the control device can calculate the angle between the lower plane of the battery to be replaced and the upper plane of the initial battery swapping device, thereby obtaining the posture information of the battery to be replaced.
- the number of ranging sensors can be set to three.
- the control device can calculate the posture information of the battery to be replaced according to the ranging value and the position information of the ranging sensor in the following way:
- the coordinates of each distance measurement point on the lower plane of the battery to be replaced in the specified coordinate system are determined.
- the designated coordinate system refers to: a spatial coordinate system established based on the upper plane of the initial battery swap device and any ranging sensor. It can be understood that the designated coordinate system first establishes a plane coordinate system on the upper plane of the battery swap device with any ranging sensor as the origin; and then, on the basis of the plane coordinate system, a Z axis perpendicular to the plane coordinate system is added (that is, the measurement direction of the ranging sensor corresponding to the origin is the Z axis), and the spatial coordinate system thus obtained is the designated coordinate system.
- the upper plane of the initial battery swap device described above is actually the XY plane of the designated coordinate system; that is, the angle between the lower plane of the battery to be replaced and the upper plane of the initial battery swap device refers to the angle between the lower plane of the battery to be replaced and the XY plane.
- the control device can determine the coordinates of each ranging sensor in the designated coordinate system (wherein the Z coordinate of each ranging sensor is 0) according to the position information of each ranging sensor; and since the Z axis of the designated coordinate system is actually parallel to the measurement direction of each ranging sensor, it is only necessary to replace the Z coordinate in the coordinates of each ranging sensor from 0 to the corresponding ranging value to obtain the coordinates of the ranging point corresponding to each ranging sensor in the designated coordinate system.
- the position distribution of the three ranging sensors on the upper plane of the battery exchange device can be as follows: It is now a right triangle; that is, when designing the hardware structure of the battery swapping device, the position of the ranging sensor on the upper plane of the battery swapping device can be set based on the position distribution of the right triangle.
- the distance between any two ranging sensors may be greater than a preset distance, wherein the preset distance is set according to the side length of the upper plane of the battery swapping device.
- the preset distance may be half of the short side of the upper plane of the battery swapping device.
- the preset distance may also be set in other ways, which are not limited here.
- the three ranging points can be grouped in pairs to form three vectors.
- the control device can arbitrarily select two vectors from the three vectors to calculate the normal vector of the lower plane of the battery to be replaced in the specified coordinate system.
- the two vectors used to calculate the normal vector can be recorded as the first vector and the second vector, respectively, then: the dot product of the first vector and the normal vector is zero, and the dot product of the second vector and the normal vector is also zero. Since the coordinates of the three ranging points in the specified coordinate system are known, the first vector and the second vector can be obtained according to the coordinates, and the normal vector can be obtained on this basis.
- the posture information of the battery to be replaced (that is, the angle between the lower plane of the battery to be replaced and the XY plane) can be represented by the unit vector and the normal vector calculated in this step.
- the specified coordinate system remains unchanged in space. It can be understood that the posture of the battery swap device matches the posture information of the battery to be replaced, which actually means that the upper plane of the battery swap device is parallel to the lower plane of the battery to be replaced. Therefore, in step 103, the angle between the lower plane of the battery to be replaced and the upper plane of the initial battery swap device can be determined by the normal vector of the lower plane of the battery to be replaced and the normal vector of the upper plane of the initial battery swap device (that is, the unit vector of the Z axis); the control device can thereby adjust the posture of the battery swap device.
- the normal vector of the lower plane of the battery to be replaced remains unchanged, but the normal vector of the upper plane of the battery swap device is continuously updated due to adjustment.
- the normal vector of the upper plane of the battery swap device is adjusted to be parallel or approximately parallel to the normal vector of the lower plane of the battery to be replaced, it can be known that the upper plane of the battery swap device and the lower plane of the battery to be replaced are parallel or approximately parallel, that is, the posture of the battery swap device has matched the posture information of the battery to be replaced.
- the ranging sensor corresponding to the origin can be used as the center point for adjustment (that is, the ranging sensor can be the fulcrum for adjustment) to avoid changes in the position of the ranging sensor in space, thereby achieving orderly adjustment of the posture of the battery swapping equipment.
- the control device can also determine whether the posture of the battery swapping device matches the posture information of the battery to be replaced by other means. For example, when the ranging values measured by each ranging sensor are equal, it can be determined that the posture of the battery swapping device matches the posture information of the battery to be replaced, which will not be described in detail in the embodiments of the present application.

- any three different distance measurement directions should not be in the same plane.
- the distance measurement points corresponding to any three different distance measurement directions on the lower plane of the battery to be replaced will not be in the same straight line. That is, the distance measurement points formed in this way can fully and accurately express the lower plane of the battery to be replaced.
- the control device can establish a specified coordinate system, which is still a spatial coordinate system established based on the upper plane of the initial battery exchange device and the ranging sensor. It can be seen that the ranging sensor is at the origin of the specified coordinate system. According to each ranging value and the ranging direction corresponding to each ranging value, the control device can determine the coordinates of the ranging points corresponding to each ranging direction based on spatial geometry knowledge. Based on the coordinates of each ranging point, the control device can obtain the normal vector of the lower plane of the battery to be replaced to represent the posture information of the battery to be replaced, which will not be repeated here.
