19. The battery replacement control method of claim 1, wherein the step of controlling the battery replacement equipment to detach an old battery from the electric vehicle and place the old battery on a battery replacement station of the transmission device comprises the steps of:
controlling an unlocking device on the battery replacement equipment to be aligned with an unlocking point on the electric automobile;
controlling the battery replacement equipment to ascend to the height of battery removal;
controlling the battery replacement equipment to move the old battery to an unlocking position;
controlling the battery replacement equipment to descend to a transmission height, and placing the old battery on the transmission device;
and the battery replacement equipment is lowered to the initial height or the waiting height.
20. The battery replacement control method as claimed in claim 1, wherein after controlling the battery replacement equipment to mount the new battery on the battery replacement station on the electric vehicle, the method further comprises: controlling a transmission device to transmit the old battery to a charging bin positioned on the other side of the battery replacement station; or the control transmission device transmits the old battery to one side of the battery replacement station, and transmits the new battery from the charging bin to the battery replacement station, and the control transmission device further comprises: and controlling the transmission device to continuously transmit the old battery to the charging bin positioned on one side of the battery replacement station.
21. A battery swapping system for the battery swapping control method as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 20, wherein the battery swapping system comprises
The battery replacement equipment is used for detaching an old battery from the electric automobile, placing the old battery on a battery replacement station of the transmission device, and installing a new battery on the battery replacement station on the electric automobile;
and the transmission device is used for transmitting the old battery to one side of the battery replacement station and transmitting the new battery from the charging bin to the battery replacement station.
22. The battery swapping system of claim 21, wherein the transmission device is a roller transmission device comprising a first roller transmission device and a second roller transmission device which are respectively located at two sides of the battery swapping station along the transmission direction, wherein the first roller transmission device and the second roller transmission device are the same roller transmission device or operate synchronously, or the first roller transmission device and the second roller transmission device each operate separately.
23. The battery replacement system of claim 21, wherein a sensor is disposed on the transmission device, and when the sensor obtains a detection signal that a new battery reaches the battery replacement station, the sensor stops driving the transmission device.
24. The battery swapping system of claim 21, further comprising an electric vehicle lifting platform, wherein when the electric vehicle lifting platform is lowered to an installation height, the battery swapping device moves a new battery to the locking device.
25. The battery swapping system of claim 21, further comprising a vehicle loading platform positioning mechanism, wherein the vehicle loading platform positioning mechanism is configured to adjust to a position aligned with a wheel of an electric vehicle.
26. The battery replacement system of claim 21, wherein a first limiting mechanism is arranged on the transmission device, and the distance between the first limiting mechanisms is consistent with the length of a battery pack of a corresponding model.
