    摘要: Disclosed are a battery swapping station and a control method therefor. The battery swapping station comprises: a first battery swapping platform being arranged between a first charging compartment and a second charging compartment; a first shuttle travels between the first battery charging compartment and the first battery swapping platform, a second shuttle travels between the second battery charging compartment and the first battery swapping platform; a control unit being electrically connected to the first shuttle and to the second shuttle, used for the following operation: when operating a same vehicle on the first battery swapping platform, if the first shuttle is executing either operation of battery unmounting or battery mounting, the second shuttle executes the other operation. Through the battery swapping station and the control method therefor, the waiting time for vehicles when swapping batteries can be reduced, thus increasing the battery swapping efficiency of the battery swapping station.

    摘要: Provided is an electrical connection device (1) including a connector (2) having a hollow connecting cavity (21), each of two opposite sides of the connecting cavity is connected to a conductive plug (22) electrically coupled with the connecting cavity (21). The connecting cavity (21) is form by a plurality of flexible conductive materials. When in use, the grid-like connecting cavity (21) made of the flexible conductive materials can be elongated, compressed, or radially twisted, and is adaptive to changes in relative displacement at various angles at various angles in the axial direction or radial direction between different electrical connecting bases, thereby preventing degradation of performance of electrical connection due to the changes in relative displacement.

    摘要: An electrical connection device (1). The electrical connection device comprises a vehicle side electrical connector (3) comprising a first mounting seat (31), a first high-voltage assembly (32) and a first low-voltage assembly (33); and a battery side electrical connector (5) comprising a second mounting seat (50), a second high-voltage assembly (51) and a second low-voltage assembly (52). The first high-voltage assembly and the second high-voltage assembly are in a separable floating electrical connection. By means of the electrical connection device, the first high-voltage assembly and the second high-voltage assembly can be prevented from hard damage, the stability of the electrical contact between the first high-voltage assembly and the second high-voltage assembly can be ensured, thereby ensuring the reliability of the electrical connections of the two parties, and improving the waterproof performance of the vehicle side electrical connector and the battery side electrical connector.

    摘要: Disclosed are a movable battery replacing platform (103) and a quick replacing system (100), wherein the movable battery replacing platform (103) comprises: a travel-driving portion (106) used for driving the movable battery replacing platform (103) to move on the ground; a lifting portion (107) mounted on the travel-driving portion (106), for lifting a battery during the replacement of the battery; and a battery mounting portion (108) mounted on the top of the lifting portion (107), for placing a battery to be replaced or a replaced battery, wherein the battery mounting porting (108) is provided with a battery replacing device. The device can use an unlocking device (50) to unlock a battery locked on the bottom of an electric vehicle, automatically aligning an unlocking point of a battery locking mechanism and realizing automatic unlocking in the movement. The whole process is fully automated without manual intervention and can improve battery replacement efficiency. In addition, the angle of an upper board (10) relative to the battery unlocking position can be adjusted by a movement actuating device, so that the unlocking point of the battery can automatically fit where the movable battery replacing platform (103) remains still, so as to further improve unlocking efficiency.
