1. A battery swapping station having an emergency power generation function, the battery swapping station comprising:
a housing;
a charger disposed in the housing;
a controller configured to control the charger;
a battery pack swapping power source configured to supply power to the charger and/or the controller;
a power connector configured to allow the charger to be connected to a battery pack; and
a plurality of battery packs,
wherein the controller comprises:
a controller power source for driving;
a processor configured to generate a control signal; and
a communication connector configured to communicate with the charger and/or the battery pack,
when a supply of power from an external alternating current power source to the battery pack swapping power source is interrupted, whereby no power is supplied to the controller power source, the processor turns on a control switch to discharge power from the battery pack to the controller power source, and
wherein the plurality of battery packs include at least one battery configured only for power storage and configured to charge the controller power source when power is not supplied from the battery pack swapping power source to the controller power source.
