Embodiments of the present application provide a battery swapping method, module, device and medium. The method includes: acquiring a first image captured for a vehicle within a battery swapping area, and acquiring a first location of a battery on the vehicle; determining a second location of the vehicle in the battery swapping area according to the first image; determining, according to the first location and the second location, a target location of the battery in the battery swapping area to control a battery swapping device to move to the target location for battery swapping. According to the embodiments of the present application, battery swapping can be completed in a case where a user parks the vehicle randomly in the battery swapping area. Thus, convenience of the battery swapping process is improved.

A fully-automatic dust proof system for quick change connector of electric vehicle is provided. The fully-automatic dust proof system of the application comprises: a base provided at the quick change connector of the battery pack; a dust proof covering plate slidably installed onto the base; an electric motor fixed on the base; a power supply electrically connected with the electric motor; a control system for controlling the motor to drive the dust proof covering plate to slide; a distance sensor for monitoring relative distance between the battery pack and the electric vehicle; and a pressure sensor for monitoring whether the dust proof covering plate is in place or not.

A lifting and automatic positioning system of an electric vehicle for a battery swap from the bottom including three or more piston type lifting devices, wherein the system has three or more identical elements fixed to the bottom of the chassis, cylindrical but with a surface pointed towards the ground suitably shaped with a little hemispherical housing at the highest midpoint. The three or more piston type lifting devices are placed in resting position below the ground level with a top view positioning that is the same as that of the identical elements secured to the vehicle and have load bearing balls on the upper extremities, with a diameter just less than the hemispherical housings.

A battery exchange system for a battery powered electric vehicle, comprising an interchangeable battery block, a battery dock defined at the underside of the electric vehicle to receive the battery block, and a battery lift for lifting the battery block underneath the electric vehicle. The battery block and the battery dock have guides adapted to mutually cooperate for guiding the battery block horizontally, and the battery lift is adapted to let the battery block move freely horizontally relative to the electric vehicle when the battery block is lifted for fitting with the battery dock.

Provided are systems and methods for configuring battery packs in electric vehicles. A battery pack may include a plurality of battery modules, a support part, and at least one opening provided on the support part. The support part may be provided with a bottom for supporting the plurality of battery modules, sides, a top, and an accommodation space formed by the bottom, the sides, and the top for accommodating the plurality of battery modules. The opening provided on the bottom of the support part may enable the plurality of battery modules to be passed through the at least one opening and be detachably mounted to the bottom of the support part so as to be supported by the bottom.

A vehicle bottom structure includes a floor panel, a battery mounted on the floor panel, a deck board, and an inclined portion. The inclined portion is arranged adjacent to the battery. The inclined portion is inclined such that, in a direction parallel to a mounting surface of the floor panel, the inclined portion rises as a distance from the battery increases. The inclined portion includes an end facing the battery. The end is located above a lower surface of the battery and below half the height of the battery.

A system for vehicle power exchange includes at least one power terminal disposable on a ground surface on which a vehicle drives. The power exchange terminal has at least a drop mechanism or a lift mechanism. The drop mechanism is associated with the power exchange terminal for releasing a depleted power cell from a vehicle during its power exchange. The lift mechanism is also associated with a power exchange terminal for inserting a charged power cell into the vehicle during power exchange.

A vehicle configured to communicate with a server of a cloud system to enable access to use the vehicle via one or more electronic keys is provided. The vehicle includes electronics and a subsystem of the vehicle for enabling unlocking of the vehicle. The subsystem is interfaced with the electronics and a subsystem of the vehicle for enabling starting of the vehicle for use of the vehicle. The vehicle further includes communications circuitry that is interfaced with electronics of the vehicle. The communications circuitry is programmable to communicate with the server of the cloud system and communicate with a mobile device. The communications circuitry of the vehicle is configured to receive a request from the mobile device for unlocking of the vehicle. The request from the mobile device includes a unique access code obtained by the mobile device from the server to enable sending the request to the vehicle. The unique access code is associated with privileges for use of the vehicle. The privileges are defined for the unique access code, and the vehicle is configured to receive information from the server to authenticate the request by the mobile device. And, if the request is authentic, the mobile device is provided with data to enable an electronic key to use the vehicle, and the electronics of the vehicle instructs the subsystem of the vehicle to enable unlocking of the vehicle and enable starting of the vehicle for use of the vehicle via the electronic key consistent with the privileges of the unique access code.

A system and method for vehicle power exchange includes both a system for exchanging a container having a power cell associated with the vehicle and an appropriate vehicle which has been adapted for vehicle power exchange. Advantageously, the system includes at least one power exchange power strip, at least one container with charged power cell associated with the power strip and wireless communication associated with the power exchange strip for communicating with a vehicle to effect power exchange. An advantageous vehicle for power exchange has a removable container with power cell, a computer processor for controlling requisite functions of the vehicle during power exchange (i.e. container exchange) and a mechanism which allows for the depositing of a container with depleted power cell and insertion of a replacement container with charged power cell into the vehicle.
