    The invention further relates to a device for automatic battery replacement in a vehicle equipped with a storage space for a battery, where an opening into the storage space is arranged below the vehicle, and where a battery installed in the storage space is arranged to be used for the movement operation of the vehicle, which device is arranged to, after the vehicle has taken a first predetermined. position. in relation to the device, moving a first battery out of and away from the vehicle, and that, after the vehicle has assumed a second predetermined position, which may be the same as the first predetermined position, in relation to the device, moving a second battery to and into the vehicle, which device is characterized in that the device is arranged to be installed at least partially above ground and next to the first and second predetermined position, respectively, and in that the device is arranged to guide the first. and the other batteries. away from the respective up to the vehicle along a respective path running from the storage space, under a side beam of the vehicle and up to a respective position above ground and next to the vehicle.
    Finally, the invention relates to a storage device in a vehicle arranged to receive and house a battery, which. when it is installed in a storage space included in the storage device is arranged to be used for the movement operation of the vehicle, the storage device comprising an opening into the storage space under the vehicle, which device is characterized in that the storage device comprises an articulated door arranged at the underside of the vehicle. by the fact that the door is arranged to open downwards and in the closed position cover said opening, and by the fact that an upper support surface of the door is arranged to at least partially support the battery when the door is in the open position.
    The invention will now be described in detail, with reference to exemplary embodiments of the invention and the accompanying drawings, in which: Figures 1a and 1c are respective principle sketches in perspective of a vehicle in two different positions; Figures 1b and 1d correspond to Figures 1a and 1c, respectively, but with a respective cross section removed; Figures 2a-2c show three principle sketches in cross section of a battery which in three respective steps is taken out of a storage space in a vehicle; Figures 3a and 3b show two principle sketches in cross section of a battery which in two respective steps is taken out of a storage space in a vehicle; Figures 4a and 4b show two principle sketches in cross section of a battery which in two respective steps is taken out of a storage space in a vehicle; Figure 5 shows a door to a storage space in a vehicle; and Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of a contactor for a battery.
    Figures 1a and 1c share reference numerals for corresponding parts. The same applies to Figures 2a-2c; Figures 3a-3b and Figures 4a-4b.
    Figures 1a and 1c show a vehicle 110 in a first predetermined position relative to a first transport device 132 for automatically transporting a first battery 132 out of and away from the vehicle 110.
    Application text docs 2012-04-18 120023EN Figures lb and ld show, in a similar manner, the vehicle ll0 in a second predetermined position in relation to a second transport device l40 for automatic transport of a second battery l22 up to and into ll0. In the second position, the vehicle 110 has thus been driven slightly in relation to the first position.
    In the figures. la and. lc and lb and lrí, respectively, the [both positions are shown as different positions, and the devices l30, l40 as. various distinct devices. It is realized, however. that the positions can be one and the same, which means that the vehicle ll0 does not need to be moved further to take the second position once it has taken the first position.
    It will also be appreciated that the devices 130 and 140 in this and other cases may be one and the same device for battery transport.
    It is also understood that both respective positions can be approximate, in the sense that the vehicle can be placed within a certain range around the respective predetermined position itself. can compensate the device 130, 140 for incorrectly positioning the vehicle within said range. Such compensation can be achieved by means of inherently conventional locating and positioning devices, such as positioning based on a visual image of the vehicle being processed by means of a computer vision algorithm, or alternatively a laser scanning equipment. The vehicle can, for example, be equipped with. a fixed point in shape. of a predetermined. marking, preferably with high contrast, for localization. It is preferred that a confirmation, for example from such locating equipment, that the vehicle is in an acceptable position is awaited before a battery is taken out of and / or into the vehicle in question.
    Application text docs 2012-04-18 120023EN The vehicle 110 is equipped with a storage space 150 for the battery 120, 122, where an opening 151 into the storage space 150 is arranged below the vehicle 110. It is preferred that the opening 151 consists of a hole in a bottom plate 111 of the vehicle 110.
    The vehicle 110 is at least partially electrically powered, which means that a battery installed in the storage space 150 is arranged to be used for the movement operation of the vehicle.
    Suitable vehicles include electric vehicles such as cars, trucks and buses, but also vehicles with so-called hybrid operation, where part of the energy for propelling the vehicle is taken from a fuel.
    When a battery 120 installed in the storage space 150 is at least partially discharged, a user of the vehicle 110 chooses to go to a battery replacement station 120.
    The station comprises the devices 130, 140.
    After the vehicle 110 is caused to assume the first predetermined position, the first transport device 130 is arranged to carry the at least partially discharged battery 120 out through the opening 151, out of and away from the vehicle 110, along a path 121 (see figure lb) in a direction D1.
    After the vehicle 110 is subsequently * taken to occupy the second predetermined position, the second transport device 140 is arranged to carry the second battery 122, which battery is preferably fully charged but at least better charged than the battery 120, up to and including vehicle 110, along a path 123 (see Figure 1d) in a direction D2.
    According to the invention, both the first 130 and the second transport device 140 are installed at least partially, preferably above ground 100, and next to the first and second predetermined position, respectively. as. vehicle 110 occupies. That the devices 130, 140 are arranged "above ground" and "next to the position" is to be understood herein as meaning that the devices 130, 140 are installed so as to operate relative to the vehicle 110 substantially from a location located at one side of the vehicle 110, preferably at a substantially horizontal distance from the vehicle.
    Furthermore, both tracks 121, 123 run from the storage space 150, under a side beam 112 of the vehicle 110 and up to a respective position above ground and next to the vehicle 110. The tracks 121, 123 preferably run in a partially downward movement from the storage space 150, so that the respective the path 121, 123 passes the side beam 112 going1 its underside. Thereafter, it is preferred that the respective track 121, 123 extend substantially horizontally from below the vehicle 110 and away from the place where the battery 120, 122 is to be carried or from which it has been taken.
    By removing the battery 120, 122 from the opening 151 under the vehicle 110, under the side beam 112 and away from the vehicle 110 above ground, the transport device or devices 130, 140 can also be installed above ground, and there is no need for buried structures which complicate installation within the frame. for existing infrastructure. Rather, the devices 130, 140 can be installed next to, for example, a normal lane at an existing gas station, wherein. the predetermined positions of the vehicle 110 mean that the vehicle 110 is stopped at a suitable place in said lane.
    In addition, it is not required that the 110 side of the vehicle, in particular not its often complex side beam construction, must be adapted to any great extent to accommodate a hatch or the like in the side 110 of the vehicle for battery replacement.
    The devices 130, 140 may in themselves have a design similar to the design described in SE 1050656 A1 for such transport devices, including a suitable horizontal transport plane and engaging means arranged to cooperate with. a battery, for example comprising suction cups.
    The storage space 150 is thus preferably arranged at the underside of the vehicle 110, preferably at and in connection with a bottom plate III of the vehicle 110. Furthermore, the space 150 is preferably closed when son1 on the opening 151 leading out below the underside of the vehicle 110, preferably through the bottom plate. 111, the opening preferably being arranged substantially in life with the underside of the vehicle 110 and at a distance from all side beams 112 of the vehicle. Such a construction is simple and has a minimal negative impact on the vehicle's other composition, aesthetics, driving characteristics and crash safety. In addition, the internal environment of the vehicle 110 can be left unaffected by the external environment, in that the space 150 is shielded from the interior of the vehicle 110. Thus, it is preferred that the space 150 be substantially liquid tight against the interior of the vehicle 110.
    It is further preferred in a first step to convert an existing, preferably non-electric car to electric drive by taking up such a hole 151 in the bottom plate of the car. and attach, for example by welding, such a storage space 150 adjacent the hole 151.
    It will be appreciated that the space 150 may also include bushings for power cables and the like, which in themselves may be arranged in a tightly fitting manner.
    Application text docs 2012-04-18 120023EN Figures 2a-2c show a storage space 200 in a vehicle, which storage space is similar to the space 150 above, where an opening 204 in the space 200 leads out below the underside 201 of the vehicle, A hinged door 210, as described above. arranged to be opened downwards by means of a joint 211, in the direction of gravity G, in the closed position the opening 204 covers, preferably in a liquid-tight manner. When the door 210 is closed, it is thus arranged to enclose the battery 220 in the storage space 200 in a position in which the battery 220 is installed for moving the vehicle.
    A per se conventional electric motor 206, which for the sake of clarity is shown only in Figures 2a and 2b, but which may very well also be used in the embodiments illustrated in Figures 3a-4b, is arranged to control the opening angle of the door 210 and apply any necessary pressing forces to create electrical contact between the battery 220 and The motor 206 is preferably of screw space 200, see below. type.
    Furthermore, an upper support surface 213 of the door is arranged to at least partially support the battery 220 when the door is in the open position, but also possibly when the door is in the closed position. illustrated in According to a preferred embodiment, Figures 2a-4b, the support surface 213 comprises a sliding surface, along which the battery 220 can slide in a direction parallel to the support surface 213. roller- It is preferred that the sliding surface comprises one or ball path, in turn comprising a number of friction reducing devices 212 in the form of stored rollers or the like. It will be appreciated, however, that the support surface 213 may also be arranged in alternative ways, as long as the friction between the underside of the battery 220 and the support surface 213 is small enough to achieve the present objects. Examples of other types of support surfaces 213 include shiny metal or Teflon surfaces.
    The battery 220 comprises a connector 221, preferably of the female type, which is arranged to engage in, and thereby provide good electrical contact with, the corresponding connectors 203 in the storage space 200, which are preferably of the male type and not accessible to a user of the vehicle when the door 210 is closed. In the embodiment illustrated in Figures 2a-2c, the connector 203 is fixedly mounted on the cover 210, and thus rotatable relative to the storage space 200, and. is further connected to the wall of the storage space 200 by means of a flexible cable 202. The two connectors 203, 221 are in the present embodiment arranged to engage each other in a direction which is substantially parallel to the support surface 213.
    When the battery 220 is to be removed from the space 200, the cover 210 is opened by partially lowering it. The result is illustrated in Figure 2b, where it is also shown that the battery 220, which is at least partially supported by the support surface 213, moves together with the cover 210 during the lowering, and that the same applies to the connector 203, which is still engaged with the connector. tactile device 221.
    In connection with the opening of the door 210, a part of the battery 220 also becomes available to one. first engaging device 240 of the first conveying device 230. Engaging device 240, which includes an exemplary suction cup 241, engages or supports the battery 220 and along the support surface 213, in a direction having a zero-separated horizontal component, and. with. Other. words. at least partially runs laterally, away from the storage space 200 and then away from the vehicle along. the runway 121 described in connection with Figure 1b. This is done at least in part by means of an application plan 230 comprising a roller conveyor 231 or the like, in accordance with what is described in SE 1050656 A1.
    In this regard, it is preferred that the support surface 213 in the open position of the door 210 slopes so slightly that the battery 220 can only slide down the sliding surface by means of gravity G and up to a position where the first engaging device 240 can engage or support. the battery 220, after which the transport device described above can move the battery 220 away from the vehicle.
    In order that the battery 220 does not risk going down along the support surface 213 in an uncontrolled manner, a locking device can be arranged. In Figures 2a-2c, this locking device is exemplified in that the engagement between the connectors 203, 221 is of one. kind of like. similar to the 'mechanism in a. ballpoint pen, in which the writing tip is pushed out and in, respectively, and locked in position by means of successive presses * on a button on the opposite side in relation to the writing tip. In other words, the connectors 203, 221 engage each other the first time they are compressed in a direction parallel to the support surface 213, releasing the engagement at the next such compression, and so on. In order to loosen the engagement, the engagement device 240 is thus arranged. to apply some pressure to the battery 220, to the left in Figures 2a-2c, to release the battery 220 from engagement with the connector 203. Thereafter, the battery 220 can be slid in a controlled manner down the support surface 213 and away from the vehicle. It will be appreciated, however, that other types of locking devices may also be useful, such as a locking flange on the cover 210 arranged to be deactivated either by the vehicle or by the engaging device 240, alternatively a locking lug on the support surface 213, over which the engaging device 240 is arranged to guide the battery 220. the engaging device 240 be arranged to catch the battery. Application text doc. 2012-04-18 120023EN 12 220 in connection with the opening of the door 210, whereby no special spar devices are required.
    Figure * 2c illustrates the situation. where the engagement between the connectors 203, 221 has been loosened, and the engaging device 240 has brought the battery 220 some distance into the transport plane 230.
    When a new, charged battery is then to be installed in storage The second entry space 150, a reverse operation is performed. the gripping device of the second transport device described. above, thus * engages in or "supports" the new battery, and inserts it under the vehicle, up to the door 210, along the path 123 described above, which is then in the open position, and up to a position where the battery then at least partially supported by the support surface 213 of the door 210. Then, in a manner similar to that described above in connection with Figures 2a-2c, the battery is moved along the support surface 213, in a direction having a zero-separated horizontal component, towards the storage device 213. the ring space 200 and up to a desired position, after which the door is closed, the second battery being inserted completely into the storage space.
    It is preferred that the transport device is arranged to push the charged battery up the support surface 213 and up to a layer from which the battery is moved upwards and into the storage space 200 when the door 210 is completely closed.
    In Figures 2a-2c, this flame constitutes the layer illustrated in Figure 2b for the battery 220, where the connectors 203, 221 are in engagement with each other. Thus good electrical contact is achieved between. the battery 220 and the vehicle, via the storage device 200, by the transport device pushing the battery 220 along the support surface 213 to a position where the respective connectors 203, 211 of the battery 220 and the vehicle come into contact with each other, and then the battery 220 pushes another further piece in a substantially unchanged direction, whereby adequate electrical contact is achieved by a male contact engaging a corresponding female contact relative to the pre-condition. of the movement of the battery 220 in the annulus 200.
    Figures 3a and 3b illustrate an alternative arrangement regarding the connectors on the battery 321 and in the storage space 303, respectively. In other respects, Figures 3a and 3b are similar to Figures 2a and 2b, and the same reference numerals are used even though the reference numerals in / 13/1 are Figures 1 / 21 / corresponding parts, 3a-3b start with the number instead of the number as in figures 2a-2c.
    Thus, as is clear from Figure 3a, electrical contact is made between the battery 320 and the vehicle by the respective substantially vertically arranged connectors 321, 303 on the battery and the vehicle respectively coming into good electrical contact with each other when the battery 320 is supported by the support surface 313 and the door 310 closes. the battery 320 is moved upwards, substantially parallel to and towards the direction of gravity G, into the storage space 300.
    Figure 3b illustrates the situation when the door 310 has been opened, and the engaging device 340 engages the battery 320. In this position the engagement between the connectors 303, 321 has released, which preferably takes place simply by gravitational action on the battery 320, but can also take place, for example, by a ballpoint pen-like device as described above. Figures 3a and 3b also show a stopping device 305, arranged to stop the movement of the battery 320 up the support surface 321 at a position from which the battery 320 can be moved upwards, into the storage space 300, when a charged battery 320 must be installed in the vehicle.
    It is noted that in the embodiment illustrated in Figures 2a-2c, the electrical contact is effected by means of the substantially completely or partially horizontal movement of the engaging device 240, while in Figures 3a-3c it is rather effected in a subsequent step, i. And. with. the closing movement of the door 310 in the fully or partially vertical direction.
    Figures 4a and 4b, which in the same way as Figures 3a and 3b correspond to Figures 2a and 2b, and where the reference numerals are also the same but with different first digits, illustrate an alternative articulated suspension of the door 410.
    In Figures 2a-3b, the door 210, 310 has a free end and. an articulated end, wherein the free end when opening the door 210, 310 can be lowered so that the support surface thereby slopes.
    In Figures 4a and 4b, on the other hand, the door 410 engages the remaining storage device 400 by means of a control arm system. comprising two guide arms 411 arranged to guide the door 410 when opened. Thus, upon opening, the door 410 can be moved downwards while keeping the support surface substantially horizontal during the entire opening process of the door. Such a construction means that the problem of catching the battery 420 is avoided, so that uncontrolled. sliding 'over the support surface 413 does not occur.
    Figure 5 illustrates in greater detail a preferred embodiment of the cover 500 itself. According to this embodiment, it comprises a rim 501 which runs at least partially around the edge of the cover 500, preferably along the entire edge except at the end 502 which is arranged to receive and deliver a battery. . At the end of the door 500 which is opposite the end 502, the rim can function as a stop means similar to the means 305, above. The support surface 505 comprises roller means 503 in the form of stored rollers. At the end 502, the door 500 includes widened edges 504, arranged to guide a battery in the correct position on the door 500 prior to installation of the battery in the vehicle. This reduces the requirements for precision in positioning the vehicle and position sensing of the transport device.
    Figure 6 illustrates in greater detail a preferred embodiment 1 of a 'contact device' 600 for connecting a 620 battery to a vehicle, in the form of a female type connector 630 arranged in the battery 620 which is arranged to engage in and thereby electrically connected to a male 612 male connector 610, preferably in the storage space, type. Schematically illustrated cooperating engagement means 633 in the form of a snap lock illustrate that the engagement may be arranged to retain the battery in a certain position in the storage space until a certain disengaging force is applied to the battery with. using the above. described intervention means. Furthermore, the contact surfaces 613 and 632, respectively, are designed so that they taper towards the end and the bottom, respectively, preferably substantially cone-shaped. This results in improved electrical contacting even in cases where the position of the battery 620 on the cover for some reason would not be exact, when dirt is present on the contact surfaces and so on.
    It is further preferred that the connectors, the female type and / or the male type, are spring-loaded, in order to increase the contact pressure between the connectors and thereby achieve improved electrical contact under different operating conditions.
    Application text docs 2012-04-18 120023EN 16 Preferred embodiments have been described above. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many changes may be made to the described embodiments without departing from the spirit of the invention.
    It will thus be appreciated that the constructions of storage space and hatch illustrated in Figures 2a-4b are merely exemplary, and that other types of such constructions may also be used to achieve the objects of the invention. For example, the door and the battery may comprise cooperating guide grooves for guiding the battery to a desired position, and the storage device may be arranged only partially raised above the bottom plate of the vehicle. Furthermore, for example, a stop means of the type illustrated in Figures 3a-3b can be used in combination with the embodiments illustrated in Figures 2a-2c and 4a-4b, respectively.
    Thus, the invention should not be limited by the described embodiments, but may be varied within. framework of the attached requirements.
