Abstract

A positioning apparatus and method for a battery, a compartment base, a battery swapping station, and an electrical apparatus. The positioning apparatus includes: a guide post configured to guide a position of the battery; a positioning pin configured to position the battery; and a sensor configured to detect whether the battery is put in place on a compartment base.

Claims (23)

1 . A positioning apparatus for a battery, comprising:

a guide post configured to guide a position of the battery;

a positioning pin configured to position the battery; and

a sensor configured to detect whether the battery is put in place on a compartment base.

2 . The positioning apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the guide post is arranged on the compartment base.

3 . The positioning apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein a radial distance of the guide post on the compartment base does not exceed 50 mm.

4 . The positioning apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the guide post is a cuboid, and the guide post on the compartment base has a length not exceeding 40 mm and a width not exceeding 30 mm.

5 . The positioning apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein a height of the guide post relative to the compartment base does not exceed 300 mm.

6 . The positioning apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein a radial distance of the positioning pin on the compartment base does not exceed 10 mm.

7 . The positioning apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the guide post protrudes from the compartment base.

8 . The positioning apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the guide post is provided with at least one slope structure.

9 . The positioning apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein a ratio of a cross-sectional area of one end of the guide post far from the compartment base to a cross-sectional area of one end close to the compartment base ranges from 1:10 to 1:2.

10 . The positioning apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning pin is arranged on the compartment base.

11 . The positioning apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning pin protrudes from the compartment base.

12 . The positioning apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein a distance between the positioning pin and the guide post is within a preset range.

13 . The positioning apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the preset range is 10-50 mm.

14 . The positioning apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a quantity of the guide post and a quantity of the positioning pin are at least four, respectively.

15 . The positioning apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein the guide posts and the positioning pins are symmetrically distributed about a center of the compartment base.

16 . The positioning apparatus according to claim 15 , wherein the positioning pins are far from the center relative to the guide posts.

17 . The positioning apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the guide posts and the positioning pins are matched with positioning slots of the battery.

18 . The positioning apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor is one of at least one sensor of the positioning apparatus.

19 . The positioning apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor is one of a plurality of sensors arranged diagonally.

20 . The positioning apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a sensing error of the sensor does not exceed 10 mm.
