A concrete mixer vehicle includes a chassis, a tractive assembly coupled to the chassis and configured to propel the concrete mixer vehicle, a mixing drum rotatably coupled to the chassis, and an electromagnetic device configured to convert electrical energy to mechanical energy to drive the tractive assembly. In a first configuration, a first battery module is removably coupled to the chassis and configured to provide the electrical energy to the electromagnetic device, and in a second configuration, the first battery module is removed from the chassis and replaced with a second battery module, the second battery module removably coupled to the chassis and configured to provide the electrical energy to the electromagnetic device.

A clamping vehicle lane control method and system, an electronic device and a storage medium. A clamping vehicle lane (1) has a vehicle carrying plane (11) that is used to carry an electric vehicle (9) and that can be raised and lowered. The clamping vehicle lane control method comprises: controlling the vehicle carrying plane (11) to be raised and lowered between any two heights among an initial height, a battery removal height, and a battery installation height. The height of the vehicle carrying plane (11) is controlled so that the vehicle carrying plane (11) may meet battery replacement requirements of each stage, thus shortening the overall battery replacement time, and improving the efficiency of battery replacement.

A vehicle battery mount structure includes: a battery module fixed to a vehicle body; a through pipe disposed in the battery module; a fixing member configured to fix a lower case and an upper case of the battery module; and a through bolt configured to fix the battery module to a vehicle body bottom frame. The through bolt passes through the through pipe and the fixing member and is coupled to the fixing member.

Disclosed are a battery swapping station and a control method therefor. The battery swapping station comprises: a first battery swapping platform being arranged between a first charging compartment and a second charging compartment; a first shuttle travels between the first battery charging compartment and the first battery swapping platform, a second shuttle travels between the second battery charging compartment and the first battery swapping platform; a control unit being electrically connected to the first shuttle and to the second shuttle, used for the following operation: when operating a same vehicle on the first battery swapping platform, if the first shuttle is executing either operation of battery unmounting or battery mounting, the second shuttle executes the other operation. Through the battery swapping station and the control method therefor, the waiting time for vehicles when swapping batteries can be reduced, thus increasing the battery swapping efficiency of the battery swapping station.

A method is provided for arranging a high-voltage accumulator having a plurality of battery modules on a support structure of a motor vehicle, in which the battery modules are arranged and fastened on a base plate, and the base plate is fastened on a bottom plate of the support structure of the motor vehicle, as a result of which the base plate and the bottom plate provide an accumulator housing which delimits an accumulator interior in which the battery modules are accommodated. At least one connection field is mechanically connected to the support structure. The connection field is able to electrically and/or fluidically connect the high-voltage accumulator to the motor vehicle.

An apparatus for electrically and mechanically coupling battery modules to an electric vehicle includes an interface plate and one or more battery trays. The interface plate includes an electrical output that electrically couples the interface plate to the vehicle. The interface plate also includes an electrical input that is electrically coupled to the electrical output. The battery tray is configured to receive a plurality of replaceable battery modules and is releasably mechanically coupled to the interface plate.

An energy storage system for vehicles is provided which is formed by a battery and a compartment for its accommodation which allows the insertion and removal of batteries and their connection to the electrical system of the vehicle with ease, quickly and at a low cost, both manually and based on auxiliary tools with different degrees of automation; the battery includes electrical connection elements and communication connection elements and is inserted in or removed from the compartment with a horizontal movement. The compartment includes electrical connection elements and communication connection elements complementary to those of the battery and allows cooling the battery; in this way, an electric vehicle can incorporate batteries as needed, adjusting its cost to its real use and reducing the waiting times due to charging its energy storage.

An apparatus for providing a secondary power source for an electric vehicle, the apparatus attachable to the electric vehicle and having at least one secondary electrical power storage unit for storing electrical energy for delivery to the electric vehicle as required to replace the primary power source, a power connection assembly to connect the at least one secondary power source to the electric vehicle and a control system to control supply to the electric vehicle.

A concrete mixer truck includes a chassis, a plurality of tractive assemblies coupled to the chassis, a mixing drum rotatably coupled to the chassis, the mixing drum defining an internal volume configured to contain material and an aperture through which the material can enter and exit the internal volume, an energy storage device positioned at a rear end of the chassis and configured to provide electrical energy, and an electromagnetic device electrically coupled to the energy storage device, where the electromagnetic device is configured to receive the electrical energy from the energy storage device and provide mechanical energy to drive at least one of the plurality of tractive assemblies to propel the concrete mixer truck.

A battery pack includes an upper sidewall section of an enclosure, a lower sidewall section of the enclosure, and a fastener that moves to a secured position to secure the upper sidewall section to the lower sidewall section. The fastener is configured to be moved to the secured position from within an interior area of the enclosure. The battery pack further includes a gasket seal held between the upper sidewall section and the lower sidewall section at a position outside the fastener relative to an interior area of the enclosure.
