One end of the latch tongue is hinged to the lock link 52, and the other end is hinged to the lock base 51. Thus, the lock link 52 can rotate the latch bolt. The circumference of the battery pack is provided with a mounting seat, and when the battery pack is mounted in the fixing seat, the mounting seat of the battery pack is fixed in the lock base 51. When the lock link 52 moves relative to the lock base 51, the lock base 51 can be switched between a locked state and an unlocked state, specifically, the mount is inserted into the lock slot 511 from the entrance of the lock slot 511 to a locked position, and the mount is locked in the lock slot 511 after the tongue is lowered, so that the lock base 51 is in the locked state. When the battery pack needs to be detached from the fixing seat, the mounting seat of the battery pack needs to be removed from the locking groove 511 of the lock base 51, and the lock base 51 is in an unlocked state. Specifically, the lock link 52 is actuated to rotate the latch bolt, thereby retracting the latch bolt and allowing the mounting seat of the battery pack to be removed from the locking slot 511. The lock link 52 is provided with an unlocking point, and during the battery pack removal process, the unlocking lever 32 abuts against the unlocking point of the lock link 52 (direction F shown in fig. 4) to retract the latch bolt.
Fig. 5 is a schematic structural view of the first docking mechanism 30. As shown in fig. 5, the first docking mechanism 30 includes a first clevis 31, a second clevis 33, and a first driving member 311. The first connecting fork 31 is movably connected to a first coupling member of the rotating base 21, and the first driving member 311 is connected to the first connecting fork 31 to drive the first connecting fork 31 to move relative to the rotating base 21. In this embodiment, the top of the first butt joint fork is in a U-shaped structure, and the bottom is movably connected to the first side surface 211 of the rotating seat 21, so as to pull the battery pack to move transversely to move out the mounting seat of the battery pack from the opening 512 of the locking groove 511 after the mounting seat of the battery pack is clamped at the top. The first driving member 311 is connected to the first docking fork and the first side 211 of the rotating base 21, and is used for pulling the first docking fork to move transversely (i.e. to move in a horizontal direction). The second connecting fork 33 is connected to the first connecting member and is used for connecting the battery pack with the first connecting fork 31.
Further, the first docking mechanism 30 includes an unlocking mechanism. The unlocking mechanism comprises a connecting seat 322, an unlocking rod 32 and an unlocking driving piece 321.

The bearing platform 10 is further provided with a slide rail 241, and the slide block is slidably connected to the slide rail 241, so that the connecting seat 322 can move along the length direction of the slide rail 241 through the slide block. The unlocking rod 32 is rotatably connected to the carrying platform 10, and is configured to support an unlocking point of the first locking mechanism 50, so that the lock link 52 of the first locking mechanism 50 moves relative to the lock base 51, and the lock link 52 pulls the lock tongue to rotate, so as to move out of the opening 512 of the lock slot 511, and unlock the mounting seat.
In this embodiment, the unlocking driving member 321 is connected to the unlocking lever 32, and is configured to drive the unlocking lever 32 to dock or deviate from the locking mechanism of the battery pack. In the process of moving the battery pack from the battery replacement device to the electric vehicle, the unlocking driving member 321 pulls the unlocking lever 32 to be switched to the upright state (i.e., the locking link 52 of the locking mechanism can be abutted), and the locking link 52 is supported along with the approach of the bearing platform 10 to the battery pack, so that the unlocking function is realized. After the mounting seat of the battery pack is transversely moved into the locking groove 511, the unlocking driving member 321 pulls the unlocking rod 32 to deflect without propping up the locking connecting rod 52, the locking connecting rod 52 is reset, the pulling locking piece 53 rotates to the position of the stopping fixing seat, and the locking action of the fixing seat of the battery pack is completed. The load-bearing platform 10 is then repositioned to disengage the battery pack.
In some embodiments, the unlocking mechanism further comprises an elastic member 323, wherein the elastic member 323 connects the connecting seat 322 and the carrying platform 10 for resetting the connecting seat 322. In addition, the unlocking mechanism further comprises a stop block 324, wherein the stop block 324 is connected to the bearing platform 10 and located in the moving path of the connecting seat 322 to stop the connecting seat 322. In this way, the unlocking rod 32 has a certain degree of freedom in the process of jacking the locking mechanism through the movable connection of the connecting seat 322, and the unlocking rod 32 and the locking mechanism are allowed to have a certain range of errors in the contact process.

The screw 62 has a shaped hole 63 at the bottom, the shaped hole 63 corresponds to the engaging portion 411, and the inner wall has a stopper (not shown).
Fig. 7 is a schematic structural view of the second docking mechanism 40 in a disassembled state. As shown in fig. 7, the second docking mechanism 40 includes a lock lever 41 and a second driving member 42. Locking lever 41 includes connecting portion 412 and joint portion 411, joint portion 411 is followed the radial direction of connecting portion 412 extends for stretch into back in the dysmorphism hole 63 of second locking mechanism 60, rotate and the joint screw rod 62. The second driving member 42 is connected to the connecting portion 412, and is used for pulling the locking rod 41 to rotate through the connecting portion 412 so as to drive the screw rod 62 to rotate and lock the battery pack. Specifically, the second driving member 42 includes an end cap 421 and a sleeve 422, the sleeve 422 has a cavity extending along the axial direction, and a locking groove 423 extending along the axial direction is formed in an inner wall of the cavity. An end cap 421 is connected to the top of the sleeve 422 and closes the upper part of the cavity, and a locking rod 41 extends from a through hole of the end cap 421. The locking bar 41 further comprises a pin 413, and the pin 413 is embedded in the clamping groove 423. The second docking mechanism 40 further includes an elastic member 323, wherein the elastic member 323 is located in the cavity and abuts against the second driving member 42 and the connecting portion 412, so as to prop up the connecting portion 412 to extend out of the cavity, and then connect to the clamping portion 411. In order to facilitate driving the second driving member 42 to rotate, in the present embodiment, the second docking mechanism 40 further includes a motor 45, and the motor 45 drives the second driving member 42 to rotate through a transmission gear 44. When the second docking mechanism 40 docks the second locking mechanism 60, the clamping portion 411 and the screw 62 are close to each other and extend into the special-shaped hole 63 at the bottom of the screw 62, then the motor 45 drives the clamping portion 411 of the lock rod 41 to rotate through the second driving member 42, the clamping portion 411 is stopped by the stopper to drive the screw 62 to rotate, so that the lock rod 41 can move axially and pull the lock rod 41 through the clamping portion 411, and the battery pack is locked to the second docking mechanism 40 of the battery replacing device. The unlocking process is similar, and the motor 45 rotates reversely to drive the screw rod 62 to rotate reversely, so that the unlocking action is realized.
Based on the above battery swapping device suitable for multiple types of battery packs, a battery swapping method suitable for multiple types of battery packs is described in detail below, and the battery swapping method includes the following steps.
First, vehicle information is received, wherein the vehicle information includes a type of a battery pack.
Then, if it is determined that the battery pack is of the first type, the switching mechanism 20 switches the first docking mechanism 30 to dock the battery pack. In this process, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the unlocking lever 32 supports the lock link 52 of the first locking mechanism 50 at the unlocking point (direction F shown in fig. 4), and the lock link 52 rotates the locking piece 53 (the lock link 52 and the locking piece 53 move to the dotted line position shown in fig. 4), thereby opening the opening 512 of the locking groove 511. Then, the first connection fork 31 moves the mounting seat of the battery pack laterally, so that the mounting seat moves out of the opening 512 of the locking slot 511, and the battery pack is transferred to the carrying platform 10 of the battery replacing device. On the contrary, the battery replacement device is close to the electric vehicle, the unlocking rod 32 props up the lock link 52 of the first locking mechanism 50, the locking plate 53 is driven to move to open the opening 512 of the locking groove 511, and the fixing seat of the battery pack moves into the locking groove 511 from the opening 512. Then, the first connection fork 31 drives the mounting seat to move laterally in the locking slot 511, the first driving part 311 drives the locking rod 41 to deviate from the locking point, so that the locking rod 52 is reset under the action of gravity, the locking plate 53 is driven to close the opening 512 to lock the battery pack, and then the battery replacement device is far away from the electric vehicle, so as to realize the action of transferring the battery pack to the electric vehicle and complete the butt joint action.
If the battery pack is determined to be of the second type, the switching mechanism switches the second docking mechanism 40 to dock the battery pack. Specifically, in this step, the rotary holder 21 of the switching mechanism 20 is rotated such that the side of the rotary holder 21 connected to the first docking mechanism 30 faces the battery pack to dock the battery pack, and the rotary holder 21 of the switching mechanism 20 is rotated such that the side of the rotary holder 21 connected to the second docking mechanism 40 faces the battery pack to dock the battery pack. In this process, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the battery replacing apparatus brings the battery pack close to the electric vehicle until the battery pack is connected to the electric vehicle. Then, the motor 45 drives the second driving member 42 to rotate, the second driving member 42 drives the clamping portion 411 of the lock rod 41 to rotate, so as to drive the screw rod 62 to rotate, the squeezing action between the clamping portion 411 and the screw rod 62 is released, so that the clamping portion 411 can rotate in the special-shaped hole 63 to a position corresponding to the special-shaped hole 63, and then withdraw from the special-shaped hole 63, and the unlocking action is completed. Otherwise, the clamping portion 411 extends into the special-shaped hole 63, and the screw rod 62 is driven to rotate under the action of the stop block in the rotating process, so that the battery pack is transferred to the electric vehicle to complete the butt joint action.
The battery replacing device and the method suitable for the multiple types of battery packs are provided with the first docking mechanism 30 and the second docking mechanism 40 which can dock the first type of battery pack and the second type of battery pack, and in the process of replacing the battery pack for the electric vehicle, the first docking mechanism 30 or the second docking mechanism 40 corresponding to the type of the battery pack can be switched to through the switching mechanism 20 according to the different types of battery packs, so that the battery replacing operation of the multiple types of battery packs is suitable.
