1. Battery Swap Controller System - TOX

 

The battery swap controller is a battery swap control device and remote communication device that integrates functions such as input detection, output control, temperature detection, on-board CAN network communication, 4G network communication, and Wi-Fi wireless communication.

As a control device, the TBOX battery swap controller controls the solenoid valve relay to operate the latch on the battery swap rack; collects the temperature of the battery swap latch in real time; monitors the status of the battery swap latch in real time, and reports the current status to the vehicle's BMS when the latch changes.

As a remote communication device, the TBOX battery swap controller exchanges data with the battery swap station via Wi-Fi, receiving control commands from the station; and communicates with the vehicle's BMS and server platform to upload vehicle data to the platform's functional components.

 

 

2. Locking System:

 

The locking system is a critical component for reliably connecting the battery box to the vehicle base. When the vehicle is in motion, the locking system securely secures the battery box to the vehicle base. When the vehicle is being replaced, the locking system unlocks, allowing the battery box to be removed from the base. The locking system consists of a cylinder, a locking tongue, a solenoid valve, a magnetic switch, and an air pipe.

 

 

3. Connector System

 

 

The connector is a key component in battery box replacement. It connects and disconnects the circuit between the battery box and the vehicle as needed, enabling energy transmission and data exchange. Battery-swap models like Beiben/Foton have a total of four connectors in their powertrains, providing two charging and two discharging paths. The female connector is located on the vehicle base. When the vehicle is charging, the charging system's DC power flows through the "connector system," first to the charging connector to recharge the battery. When the vehicle is started, the battery discharges power to the all-in-one through the discharge connector. 03 Connector System - Pin Definition 04 Battery Replacement System Fault Codes.
