Technology overlord starts with new energy vehicles

From the factory area to the living area, Xu Yifan finally came to Kyushu Automobile's comprehensive automobile research and development center.

Speaking of which, another important new technology has been successfully developed recently, and it is worth checking out.

Glancing at the top of the system panel, Xu Yifan lifted his foot and walked in an important technology research and development that had reached 100% in the morning.

This newly completed technology research and development is the semi-automatic battery replacement technology.

"These technologies may also get some support from the government at that time."

Find a leader if you have something to do, it's too slow to develop alone!

Lack of money, lack of people, lack of goods, but if there is strong official support, many things can be easily solved.

Familiar with the road, Xu Yifan took the elevator to the third floor of the comprehensive automobile research and development center.

After exiting the elevator, turn left, the third large laboratory.

As Xu Yifan approached, he could see that in this large laboratory, a large group of R\u0026D personnel were testing the semi-automatic battery replacement equipment.

In the center of the laboratory, a Kyushu car was driven by an employee and parked in the middle.

As the vehicle stopped, another staff member who was waiting by the side came out pushing a small car.

This kind of car is somewhat similar to a forklift, but it is not fuel-powered, and it cannot lift a particularly large weight.

The 48-volt manual power-exchanging forklift can bear a weight of two tons.

Push the fork of the battery replacement forklift from the side to the bottom of the car, and align the position scale on the battery replacement forklift with the approximate position of the door gap.

The staff presses the electric control button, and the electric forklift is lifted to a suitable position, and the protrusion on the front end of the forklift is against the battery pack at the bottom of the vehicle.

Subsequently, the staff operated the button on the replacement tram to 'separate the battery pack'

Through the chip induction, as well as the data transmission on the battery replacement equipment and the battery pack, after verifying the password that changes at any time, a slight motor sound came.

On the battery pack, six screws connected to the bottom of the vehicle are driven by the motor installed in the battery pack to automatically rotate and untie the connection.

Afterwards, the battery pack was firmly caught by the manual trolley below.

The staff operated the button on the tram again, and the lifting height of the semi-automatic forklift was lowered.

Pulling the semi-automatic tram changer, the battery pack and the tram changer were pulled out from the bottom of Kyushu Automobile.

The staff easily pulled away a battery pack that had run out of electricity.

Another staff member who had been waiting by the side pushed a fully charged battery to the side of Kyushu Automobile.

According to the position of the markings on the forklift, which is compatible with different Kyushu vehicles, the battery pack is placed at an approximate distance from the bottom of the vehicle.

As the changing tram moves slightly, the red light on the detection position on the changing tram turns green, indicating that the battery pack has arrived at a suitable position.

The staff presses the button on the tram changer, and after the computer detects the correct position again, the tram changer drives the electromagnetic package to automatically lift.

Lift to an appropriate distance again, and press the battery installation button on the semi-automatic tram changer.

The signal is transmitted, and several small motors built in the battery pack rotate, driving the six bolts on the battery pack to rotate, and fixing the battery pack on the chassis of Kyushu Automobile.

After a few seconds, the specified torque is reached, and the motor stops automatically.

The staff looked at the information sent from the battery pack, confirmed the status of all the screws, and continued to operate after the induction device placed at the bottom of the vehicle had been triggered.

The height of the semi-automatic power exchange platform was lowered, and the empty car was pulled out from the bottom of the car by employees.

So far, a battery replacement is completed.

It sounds a bit complicated to say, but the actual time is less than a minute.

The semi-automatic battery replacement platform is not as fully automatic and high-tech as those later battery replacement stations. It even requires the cooperation of at least two employees to complete the battery replacement work as quickly as possible.

Of course, one employee would work too, but it would be slower.

If ten or eight cars are to be replaced at the same time, they must either hire more employees for battery replacement, or they can only wait in line.

The semi-automatic battery replacement method may still be more troublesome than refueling, but it is still much faster than charging.

It takes at most one or two minutes to complete the battery replacement work of a car, which is more convenient than waiting at least two hours for charging.

And the construction cost is much cheaper.

A semi-automatic battery exchange forklift costs less than 50,000 yuan. It not only has the function of battery exchange, but also can record the remaining power in the battery pack for battery exchange, which is convenient for charging the battery exchange fee. If a battery exchange station is relatively small, only Two are enough.

Of course, in addition to changing the tram, other investment and construction are required.

For example, two transport carriages parked next to the changing tram.

Remove the battery pack that has run out of electricity, and then put it in the transport compartment placed next to it.

A battery swapping station is generally equipped with two such battery storage compartments, one dedicated to storing fully charged battery packs and one dedicated to storing depleted battery packs.

The transport carriage is a rectangular carriage with four wheels underneath, but it does not have the front of the car.

When the vehicle is full of fully charged or empty battery packs, the front of the vehicle can be driven over, and the vehicle can be towed to the battery exchange station or to the charging station through the connecting device for charging.

At the same time, the transport compartment is divided into ten floors, and there is a simple electric smart spreader, which can place the battery pack in the compartment, and place it in the deepest part and fix it through the slide rails on each floor.

A transport vehicle can hold one hundred battery packs.

A small battery swapping station is equipped with two batteries for storage compartments, and at least two semi-automatic tramcars, with a total cost of less than 200,000 yuan.

At the same time, a city can set up a charging station at the location of the suburban circuit network to supply the charging station in the city for charging.

Not connected to every corner of the city, a lot of high-voltage circuit network construction costs, the site does not need to be particularly large, and can park a dozen or twenty or more charging vehicles.

Compared with the charging station, the construction cost can be reduced by at least one or two times. If the off-peak charging is used, the electricity price can even be lower!

Even, if there is no venue, you can also change the battery!

The front of the car plus the battery compartment at the back is a small battery swapping station. A small battery swapping trolley can be hung on the bottom of the car, and the battery swapping station can be directly driven to the place where the car owner needs to replace the battery.

For example, if you encounter a sloppy car owner, you drive the car until it runs out of battery, and forget to charge it on the road.

All you need is a Kyushu battery replacement phone, and the employees of the replacement station can drive the replacement car to replace the battery pack.

Of course, the price of door-to-door battery replacement will definitely not be the same as battery replacement at a fixed location. It is very normal to pay some running expenses.

Or taking into account the customer's experience, it is also possible to provide battery replacement assistance once or twice a year to improve the service of Kyushu Automobile.

Selling a car is also selling a service!
