ELECTRIC CONCRETE VEHICLE SYSTEMS AND METHODS
An electrified vehicle include a chassis, a front axle coupled to the chassis, a rear axle coupled to the chassis, an electric motor supported by the chassis, and a trailer coupled to a rear end of the chassis and configured to be towed by the electrified vehicle. The electric motor is configured to drive at least one of the front axle, the rear axle, or a component of the electrified vehicle. The trailer includes a trailer frame, a trailer axle coupled to the trailer frame, and an energy storage device supported by the trailer frame. The energy storage device includes a plurality of batteries. The energy storage device configured to power the electric motor.
Battery pack for electric work vehicle
A battery pack for an electric work vehicle includes: a box-shaped housing; a transport wheel provided to the housing; a transport handle; a bracket fixed to the housing; a swing shaft for swingably connecting the transport handle and the bracket, between a vertical posture in which the transport handle extends upward from the housing and a horizontal posture in which the transport handle lies above the housing; and a vertical socket for receiving a base end part of the transport handle of the vertical posture to resist a torque of the transport handle caused during an operation.
Electric work vehicle
In an electric work vehicle, a power feeding assembly which connects a battery device to a power controller unit so as to feed power includes a fixed connector which is fixed to the battery device and electrically connected to the battery device, a cable harness connected to a power controller unit, and a free connector which is connected to an end of the cable harness and connectable to a fixed connector, and a connecting operation tool is configured to be movable the free connector between the connecting position in which the free connector is connected to the fixed connector and the detaching position.
Electric concrete vehicle systems and methods
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.
AUTONOMOUS TRAVEL DEVICE
An autonomous travel device is provided with wheels, a device main body, a power source that is provided on one end portion of the device main body within the device main body and causes the device main body to travel autonomously by driving the wheels, a battery for supplying power to the power source, and an accommodation unit for accommodating the battery from the other end portion of the device main body to a central portion of the device main body within the device main body. With this configuration, it is possible to easily perform replacement of the battery, and therefore, it is possible to perform autonomous travel that is stabilized due to disposition of the battery in consideration of the center of gravity of the device main body.
