AUTOMATIC LOCKING AND UNLOCKING DEVICE, BATTERY REPLACEMENT ROBOT, BATTERY CHARGING AND REPLACEMENT STATION, AND LOCKING AND UNLOCKING METHOD

摘要

An automatic locking and unlocking device, a battery replacement robot, a battery charging and replacement station, and a locking and unlocking method. The present invention aims to solve the problems that stability of a semi-automatic or manual fastening manner existing in the fastening process of an energy storage unit is poor, etc. The automatic locking and unlocking device (10) comprises a housing (11), a tooling part (12) and a drive part (13), wherein the housing (11) has a first bottom plate (111) and a second bottom plate (112); a first end of the tooling part (12) extends out of the first bottom plate (111) and can be in a fitting connection with a fastener to be operated, and the tooling part (12) can move along an axial direction thereof relative to the drive part (13); the drive part (13) is accommodated in the housing (11), and the drive part (13) is connected to a second end of the tooling part (12); and the drive part (13) can enable the tooling part (12) to rotate, and the rotation can drive the fastener to be fastened to/detached from a vehicle, the battery of which needs to be replaced. By means of the arrangement of the tooling part (12) and the drive part (13), a fastener being fastened to/detached from a vehicle, the battery of which needs to be replaced, can be completed automatically, so that an energy storage unit can be locked or unlocked automatically, and the precision and stability of the locking and unlocking process can be improved.
