Battery Replacement Apparatus and Battery Replacement Method - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240181923 titled 'Battery Replacement Apparatus and Battery Replacement Method
Simplified Explanation
The battery replacement apparatus described in the abstract is a device that can detect the position and orientation of a battery, adjust the position and orientation of the battery, and attach the battery to a vehicle body from below.
- Detection device detects position and orientation of a battery.
- Battery mount can be raised and holds a second battery.
- Adjuster adjusts position and orientation of the battery on the battery mount.
- Battery can be attached to a vehicle body from below by raising the battery mount.
- Adjuster uses detected position and orientation to adjust the battery.

Original Abstract Submitted
a battery replacement apparatus includes a detection device that detects position and orientation of a battery (first battery), a battery mount where a battery (second battery) is placed, the battery mount being capable of being raised, and an adjuster that adjusts position and orientation of the battery that is placed on the battery mount. the battery mount allows the battery to be attached to a vehicle body from below the vehicle body, by being raised below the vehicle body in a state where the battery is placed on the battery mount. the adjuster adjusts the position and the orientation of the battery placed on the battery mount, based on the position and the orientation of the battery detected by the detection device.
