EBH - Easy Battery Handling

Sammanfattning

The project Easy Battery Handling - EBH has been carried out in our auspicial and completed

for Devantini Corporation, a development company in Halmstad with its main concern in

environmental friendly innovations.

EBH has solved one of many technical challenges in one of Devantini corporation’s larger

projects. This main project involves the development of an electric powered formula racing

car. The part of this car that involved EBH was the battery handling to guarantee safe and

quick battery exchanges during pit-stops.

The solution became an entire battery module, hanging on the side of the car on two spears

pointing out from the car. The batteries are exchanged by a specially designed trolley that is

inserted under the battery module. To secure the batteries whilst driving they are also secured

with a locking device that is quick and simple to unlock when it is time to exchange the

batteries.

The project resulted in a battery handling system that in comparison to already existing

solutions reduce the burden on the mechanics and performs an exchange of batteries in less

than half the time.
