Background

With the popularization of new energy automobiles, how to provide quick and effective energy supply for automobiles with insufficient energy becomes a very concerned problem for owners and various manufacturers. Taking an electric vehicle as an example, one of the mainstream electric energy supply schemes at present is a battery replacement scheme. The battery replacement scheme is one of the main development directions of electric energy supply, because the replacement of the power battery can be completed in a short time and has no obvious influence on the service life of the power battery. In the battery replacement scheme, the battery replacement in a sub-box mode of the electric vehicle is a mainstream battery replacement mode, and the battery replacement mode is generally completed in a special charging and replacing station in a manual mode, a semi-automatic mode and the like. However, the above battery replacement method generally has a problem of low battery replacement efficiency. The reasons for this problem are: in a complete battery replacement process, the battery replacement platform needs to be reached, the feed battery is taken away, then the fully charged battery is carried to reach the battery replacement platform again, namely, the battery replacement device needs to travel back and forth at the fixed positions of the battery replacement platform and the charging and replacing frame, the time required by the battery replacement process is increased, and the battery replacement efficiency is reduced.
