Devices and methods for semi-automated, automated and mobile replacement of an electric battery for propulsion of automobiles

摘要

Both the relatively long time it takes to charge e-batteries (2), which are used to drive automobiles (1), and the (currently at the state of e-battery technology) limited travel distance of approx. 130-150 km Can be reached with a battery charge, in long-distance traffic (route one battery charge) is not an economical alternative for the use of electric batteries (2) powered automobiles (1) compared to automobiles that are powered by internal combustion engines, the routes of about 600 km (and more). A quick change of the e-battery (2) would largely compensate for these serious disadvantages. The basic idea for the proposed replacement process for e-batteries (2) that are used to drive automobiles (1) is the mechanized discharge or entry of the e-battery (2) from / into the automobile (1). The position of the e-battery (2) in the automobile (1) while driving is in versions 1 (partially automated), 2 (automated) and 3 (mobile change) / Var. 1 in the area above the rear axle, or behind the rear seats, or in the rear part of the trunk - in a so-called battery tunnel (3). The discharged or ready-to-use e-battery (2) for the aforementioned interchangeable versions is discharged laterally (on the passenger side) from / to the automobile (1). With version 3 / Var. 2 (mobile change), the position of the electric battery (2) is arranged in a space that extends from the rear in the longitudinal direction of the automobile (1). This flat space is formed by a second vehicle floor, which is arranged above the actual vehicle floor (4). For this interchangeable version 3 / Var. 2, the e-battery (2) is removed or inserted from the rear of the automobile (1). The mechanized transport of the e-battery (2) takes place in all the listed interchangeable versions (versions 1, 2, 3 / var. 1 and 2) by means of a driven, movable frame (8) - in which the e-battery (2) is inserted - inside the automobile (1) as well as outside - by means of technical devices, which are used with the change process of the three versions described, on rails.
