Abstract

The present disclosure discloses an electric vehicle battery replacement system comprising a vehicle-mounted battery driving device and a battery conveying device outside of the vehicle. The vehicle-mounted battery driving device comprises a drive roller configured to carry a battery and connected with a drive motor. The battery conveying device outside of the vehicle comprises three conveying belts each connected to one of three conveying motors, respectively. The drive roller, a first conveying belt, and a second conveying belt are arranged successively on a same horizontal plane along a direction of conveying. The third conveying belt is located above the second conveying belt and connected with the first conveying belt via a sliding plate. One end of the sliding plate connects flexibly to a front end of the third conveying belt, and the other end of the sliding plate is placed on the first conveying belt. The battery replacement system provided in the present disclosure solves such problems as long charging time and low efficiency in public charging stations by using the current charging method of existing electric vehicles, and meets the growing demand of the increasing number of electric vehicles.

Claims
