Abstract
With the acceleration of the transformation of the global transportation energy structure, electric heavy-duty trucks are gradually becoming an important choice for future trunk logistics due to their clean and efficient characteristics. However, under the current situation that battery technology and infrastructure construction have not been fully matched, heavy trucks still face obvious endurance problems in long-distance transportation. At the same time, the rise of low-altitude economy provides new possibilities for cross-regional energy transmission and rapid energy replenishment. Based on this background, this paper attempts to explore a new energy replenishment method combined with air-ground coordination from the perspective of product design, namely the mobile flight battery replenishment system. The system takes the standardized and replaceable flight battery as the core, realizes the battery transportation and replenishment through medium and large UAVs, and combines the mobile base station pulled by electric heavy trucks to complete the dynamic energy delivery during driving. This paper analyzes the system composition, the appearance design of the core module, the interaction mode and the use process, aiming to provide a feasible design solution for solving the bottleneck problem of energy replenishment in the long-distance transportation of electric heavy trucks. The research results show that the solution has the advantages of flexible deployment, rapid response and efficient energy management, and has high application potential and industry prospects.
