随着新能源技术发展，使用电池的设备增多，用电设备电能告罄时，常通过连接充电设备的方式补充电能，例如电动车辆可以连接充电桩充电。相比连接充电桩等充电设备来补充电能的方式，更换电池能够更快实现补充电能。目前也有专门用于更换电池的换电站，换电站包括车辆换电通道、充电室、控制室、配电室以及若干移送机构，车辆换电通道内具有换电位置，电动车辆驶入换电位置后，移送机构为电动车辆快速更换电池，并将卸下的电池移送至充电室进行充电备用。With the development of new energy technology, the number of devices using batteries has increased. When electrical equipment runs out of power, it is often replenished by connecting charging equipment. For example, electric vehicles can be connected to charging piles for charging. Compared with the method of connecting charging equipment such as charging piles to replenish electric energy, replacing the battery can replenish electric energy faster. At present, there are also battery swapping stations specially used for battery replacement. The battery swapping stations include vehicle battery swapping channels, charging rooms, control rooms, power distribution rooms and several transfer mechanisms. There are battery swapping positions in the vehicle battery swapping channels, and electric vehicles can enter After the battery replacement position, the transfer mechanism quickly replaces the battery for the electric vehicle, and transfers the removed battery to the charging room for charging and backup.

相关技术中，大多数换电站采用无人化模式运行，为新能源汽车进行自动化换电，其没有配备为工作人员相关的通道，换电站组装完成投入使用后，一直处于无人值守的状态。对于某些特殊情况，例如，凭借无人化模式无法完成车辆的换电动作，需要工作人员进入换电站内部辅助完成车辆的换电动作；或者，换电站发生故障时，需要工作人员进入换电站内部，排查故障原因以完成维护。然而，现有的换电站的布局设计没有考虑到人工处理模式下工作人员的人身安全，存在一定的安全隐患。Among related technologies, most battery swapping stations operate in unmanned mode to perform automatic battery swapping for new energy vehicles. They are not equipped with relevant channels for staff. After the battery swapping stations are assembled and put into use, they remain unattended. For some special situations, for example, if the vehicle's battery swap cannot be completed in unmanned mode, staff need to enter the battery swap station to assist in completing the vehicle's battery swap; or when a battery swap station fails, staff need to enter the battery swap station. Internally, troubleshoot the cause of the failure to complete maintenance. However, the existing layout design of battery swapping stations does not take into account the personal safety of workers in manual processing mode, and there are certain safety risks.

发明人经过研究发现，工作人员进入换电站内部之后，无论是辅助完成车辆的换电动作还是进行维护作业，均依靠通讯设备进行沟通，与车辆的驾驶员以及其他工作人员均处于不可直视沟通的状态。如果能够合理调整换电站的整体布局，使控制室与车辆换电通道之间视线畅通，将能够克服上述缺陷，使工作人员在控制室内也能与车辆换电通道内的驾驶员或者其他工作人员沟通顺畅，提高人工处理模式下工作人员的人身安全。The inventor found through research that after the staff enters the battery swapping station, whether they are assisting in completing the battery swapping operation of the vehicle or performing maintenance operations, they all rely on communication equipment to communicate, and they are unable to communicate directly with the driver of the vehicle and other staff. status. If the overall layout of the battery swapping station can be reasonably adjusted to ensure a clear line of sight between the control room and the vehicle's battery swapping channel, the above defects will be overcome, allowing staff in the control room to communicate with the driver or other staff in the vehicle's battery swapping channel. Smooth communication improves the personal safety of workers in manual handling mode.

基于上述思路，本申请提出一种方案，使用第一隔板将控制室和车辆换电通道隔开，第一隔板具有窗口，工作人员位于控制室内能够一边进行操作一边透过窗口观察车辆换电通道内的情况以及与车辆的驾驶员及时沟通，具有较好的安全性能。Based on the above ideas, this application proposes a solution that uses a first partition to separate the control room and the vehicle power exchange channel. The first partition has a window, and the staff in the control room can observe the vehicle power exchange through the window while operating. The situation in the electrical channel and timely communication with the driver of the vehicle have good safety performance.

可以理解的是，电动车辆可以为家用轿车、公共车辆，也可以为重载卡车或者其他形式的采用动力电池提供电能的电动车辆。It can be understood that the electric vehicle can be a family car, a public vehicle, a heavy-duty truck, or other forms of electric vehicles that use power batteries to provide electric energy.

具体而言，车辆换电通道10的两端分别被配置为入口11和出口12，车辆从入口11进入车辆换电通道10，在换电位置13完成电池的更换，再从出口12离开车辆换电通道10。Specifically, the two ends of the vehicle power exchange channel 10 are configured as an entrance 11 and an exit 12 respectively. The vehicle enters the vehicle power exchange channel 10 from the entrance 11, completes battery replacement at the power exchange position 13, and then leaves the vehicle through the exit 12 to change the battery. Electrical channel 10.

在本申请的一些实施例中，车辆换电通道10沿第一方向X延伸，沿着第一方向X，入口11和出口12相对设置，车辆沿着直线行驶即实现进出车辆换电通道10。In some embodiments of the present application, the vehicle power exchange channel 10 extends along the first direction X. Along the first direction

在其他实施例中，车辆换电通道10也可以沿曲线形延伸，车辆从入口11进入车辆换电通道10后，转向后从出口12离开车辆换电通道10。In other embodiments, the vehicle power swap channel 10 may also extend along a curve. After the vehicle enters the vehicle power swap channel 10 from the entrance 11, it turns and leaves the vehicle power swap channel 10 through the exit 12.
