Abstract

Disclosed is a battery unlocking control method, a battery locking control method and an electric vehicle battery swapping control method. The battery locking control method comprises the following steps: moving the battery to the fixing base to enable the lock shafts to enter the lock slots; after the lock shafts enter the lock slots, detecting the locations of the lock shafts, and moving the battery until the lock shafts arrive at locking locations; and with the lock tongues falling, snapping the lock shafts into the lock slots. 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 from the fixing base, thereby achieving full-automatic control during swapping of the battery and improving the swapping speed and success rate of the battery.
