As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides an energy storage battery replacement station, which includes a box 100 and a battery replacement station 200, wherein a full-battery storage station 101 and a insufficient-battery storage station 102 are disposed in the box 100, the full-battery storage station 101 is used for placing a full-battery storage rack 10, a plurality of full-battery 11 stored in the full-battery storage rack 10, the insufficient-battery storage station 102 is used for placing a insufficient-battery storage rack 20, and the insufficient-battery storage rack 20 is used for temporarily storing a insufficient-battery 21. The battery replacing station 200 is used for stopping the electric automobile 300 to be replaced, and the battery replacing station 200 is provided with battery replacing equipment and can automatically replace the battery or manually replace the battery. The energy storage battery replacement station of the embodiment further comprises a battery conveying device 30, and the battery conveying device 30 is used for conveying the full batteries 11 in the full battery storage rack 10 to the battery replacement station 200 and conveying the insufficient batteries 21 at the battery replacement station 200 to the insufficient battery storage rack 20.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the energy storage battery replacement station of the present embodiment further includes a storage rack transfer station 400 and a storage rack handling device 40, wherein the storage rack transfer station 400 is used for a transport vehicle 500 to stop. Specifically, transport vechicle 500 is used for transporting empty insufficient battery and stores frame 20, stores the full battery that has a plurality of full batteries 11 and stores frame 10 and the insufficient battery that stores a plurality of insufficient batteries 21 and stores frame 20, and transport vechicle 500 circulates between the energy storage of charging station and this embodiment trades the station to carry insufficient battery 21 to the unified charging of charging station, and will be full of full battery 11 delivery to the energy storage of this application trades the station. The storage rack transfer device 40 is used for transferring the full battery storage rack 10 and the insufficient battery storage rack 20 among the full battery storage station 101, the insufficient battery storage station 102 and the storage rack transfer station 400, and specifically, the storage rack transfer device 40 can transfer the full battery storage rack 10 storing a plurality of full batteries 11 on the transport vehicle 500 parked at the storage rack transfer station 400 to the full battery storage station 101, and can also transfer the insufficient battery storage rack 20 containing a plurality of insufficient batteries 21 at the insufficient battery storage station 102 to the transport vehicle 500.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment, the full battery storage rack 10 is not only capable of storing full batteries 11, but when the full batteries 11 in the full battery storage rack 10 at the full battery storage station 101 are used up, the empty full battery storage rack 10 can also be directly transported to the deficient battery storage station 102 by the storage rack transporting device 40 to serve as the deficient battery storage rack 20 for temporarily storing the deficient batteries 21. Similarly, a bad battery store 20 is not only able to store a bad battery 21, an empty bad battery store 21 can also be used to store a full battery 11, and the designations of the full battery store 10 and the bad battery store 20 are derived based on the type of battery stored, specifically, the full battery 11 or the bad battery 21.

In practical use, the transport vehicle 500 carries full-battery storage racks 10 storing a plurality of full batteries 11 and empty insufficient-battery storage racks 20 and moves to the storage rack transfer station 400, the storage rack handling device 40 carries the full-battery storage racks 10 on the transport vehicle 500 to the full-battery storage station 101 and carries the insufficient-battery storage racks 20 to the insufficient-battery storage station 102, and when the energy storage and power exchange station is used for the first time, the empty insufficient-battery storage racks 20 are placed at the insufficient-battery storage station 102; subsequently, when the electric vehicle 300 needs to be replaced, the electric vehicle 300 to be replaced stops at the replacement station 200 and the insufficient battery 21 in the electric vehicle 300 is replaced, the battery conveying device 30 moves the insufficient battery 21 replaced from the electric vehicle 300 to be replaced to the insufficient battery storage rack 20 for temporary storage, and conveys the full battery 11 from the full battery storage rack 10 to the replacement station 200 for replacement; after the insufficient battery storage rack 20 is full of the insufficient battery 21, the storage rack conveying device 40 conveys the full insufficient battery storage rack 20 to the transport vehicle 500, and the transport vehicle 500 conveys the full insufficient battery storage rack 20 to the charging station for centralized charging, while the empty full battery storage rack 10 can be directly used as the empty insufficient battery storage rack 20 and conveyed to the insufficient battery storage station 102 by the storage rack conveying device 40 for temporarily storing the insufficient battery 21 replaced from the electric vehicle 300.

Based on this, the energy storage battery replacement station provided by the embodiment of the invention can be used as an energy storage station for collectively storing a certain amount of full batteries 11, and meanwhile, the battery replacement station 200 can be used as a battery replacement station for replacing the batteries of the electric vehicle 300, so that the battery replacement requirement of the electric vehicle 300 is met. More importantly, the station is traded in energy storage of this application need not set up the battery charging outfit and charges to insufficient battery 21, but realize full battery 11 and insufficient battery 21 in the charging station and the energy storage of this application trade the flow between the station through using transport vechicle 500, consequently, the electric wire netting load need not to be considered in the position that sets up of this application energy storage trade the station, and insufficient battery 21 concentrates and transports to unified charging station and concentrate and charge, then will fill up battery 11 and trade the station use according to actual demand nimble distribution to each energy storage according to the car current condition, so, the centralized charging station's that need rely on the electric wire netting load set up quantity and can reduce, simultaneously can also make full use of the low peak period of electricity consumption for example charge insufficient battery 21 night, can effectively reduce the power consumption impact to the electric wire netting. Besides, because the charging equipment does not need to be arranged in the station, the arrangement quantity of the full battery storage station 101 and the insufficient battery storage station 102 can be designed according to actual traffic flow, the whole volume of the energy storage battery replacement station can be designed according to actual needs, the location selection of the arrangement position of the energy storage battery replacement station is more flexible, the energy storage battery replacement station can also be arranged in a large and luxurious section with large traffic flow, the battery replacement cost of a user is reduced, and the practicability is high.
