Abstract
Provided are a battery locking/unlocking system, and an electric vehicle battery swapping control system and a control method thereof. The battery locking/unlocking system comprises a battery swapping device used for moving a battery; a lock shaft detection unit used for generating a location signal; a lock tongue control unit used for controlling a lock tongue to fall into the lock slot or retract to the outside of the lock slot; a data exchange unit separately communicates with the battery swapping device and the lock shaft detection unit. According to the battery locking/unlocking system and locking and unlocking control methods, by providing various location detection components, the battery is accurately located and locked when being loaded into a fixing base, and then accurately located and unlocked when being removed, thereby achieving full-automatic control during swapping of the battery and improving the swapping speed and success rate of the battery.
