DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application, but the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without departing from the concept of the present application, therefore the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0028] Secondly, the "one embodiment" or "embodiment" referred to herein is intended to represent a specific feature, structure, characteristic, or combination of features and characteristics, which can be included in at least one implementation of the present application. The various appearances of "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, although they can.

[0029] Embodiment 1, referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, is the first embodiment of the present application, which provides a ramp type gravity energy storage transmission device, comprising a chain 100, the chain 100 is provided with a lower flat zone 101, an ascending zone 102 and an upper flat zone 103; in this embodiment, the chain 100 is arranged in the groove of the energy storage platform, an auxiliary gear is arranged in the groove, a driving gear for driving the chain 100 to run is arranged at the top of the groove, and the chain 100 forms the lower flat zone 101, the ascending zone 102 and the upper flat zone 103 under the action of the auxiliary gear. The arrangement of the auxiliary gear is a common technical means for those skilled in the art, which will not be described here. It should be noted that the chain 100 in the lower flat zone 101 and the upper flat zone 103 is in a horizontal state, and the chain 100 in the ascending zone 102 is in an inclined state.

[0030] The connecting mechanism 200 comprises a connecting seat 201 arranged on the chain 100, a locking frame 202 slidingly arranged on the connecting seat 201, and a clamping plate 203 movably connected to the connecting seat 201; in this embodiment, the clamping plate 203 is clamped on the connecting seat 201 through the locking frame 202.

[0031] The docking mechanism 300 comprises a fixed plate 301 and a plug-in frame 302 arranged on the fixed plate 301; in this embodiment, the fixed plate 301 is used to connect the bottom of the flexible trolley, and the connection between the chain 100 and the flexible trolley can be realized by inserting the plug-in frame 302 into the clamping plate 203.

[0032] It should be noted that when the locking frame 202 is not sliding, the clamping plate 203 is in a locked state, when the locking frame 202 slides to the left, the clamping plate 203 can deflect to the right, and when the locking frame 202 slides to the right, the clamping plate 203 can deflect to the left. By controlling the sliding direction of the locking frame 202, the deflectable direction of the clamping plate 203 can be controlled.

[0033] Specifically, the connecting seat 201 is provided with a first semicircular groove 201a and a second semicircular groove 201b; the locking frame 202 is provided with a first locking rod 202a and a second locking rod 202b; in this embodiment, the first locking rod 202a and the first semicircular groove 201a are tangentially arranged, and the second locking rod 202b and the second semicircular groove 201b are tangentially arranged.

[0034] Preferably, the two ends of the buckling plate 203 are provided with protruding parts, and the buckling plate 203 is provided with a first clamping shaft 203a and a second clamping shaft 203b. In the embodiment, the two end protruding parts can increase the weight of the two ends after the buckling plate 203 is deflected, so as to facilitate resetting by gravity, and the protruding parts can increase the distance between the first clamping shaft 203a, the second clamping shaft 203b and the surface of the buckling plate 203, so as to facilitate the insertion of the insertion frame 302. The first clamping shaft 203a and the first semicircular groove 201a are movably connected, and the second clamping shaft 203b and the second semicircular groove 201b are movably connected.

[0035] Further, the chain 100 is provided with a first shaft 101a and a second shaft 101b, and the connecting seat 201 is provided with a connecting frame 201c and a connecting groove 201d. In the embodiment, the first shaft 101a and the second shaft 101b are fixedly arranged on the chain 100, and the first shaft 101a and the second shaft 101b are slidably arranged in the connecting groove 201d. The length of the connecting groove 201d is greater than the distance between the first shaft 101a and the second shaft 101b. Since the shape of the chain 100 changes during operation, the first shaft 101a and the second shaft 101b are connected by the connecting groove 201d, and the first shaft 101a and the second shaft 101b can slide in the connecting groove 201d. When the chain 100 is bent to change the distance between the first shaft 101a and the second shaft 101b, the connecting groove 201d can provide a sliding space for the first shaft 101a and the second shaft 101b, thereby realizing the connection between the connecting seat 201 and the chain 100.

[0036] In the initial state, the first locking rod 202a and the second locking rod 202b clamp the first clamping shaft 203a and the second clamping shaft 203b, so that the buckling plate 203 cannot be deflected.

[0037] In use, the chain 100 is driven by the driving gear, and the chain 100 can drive the connecting mechanism 200 to move. When it is needed to clamp the trolley, the sliding locking frame 202 is used to make the first locking rod 202a slide away from the second locking rod 202b. After the first locking rod 202a slides, the upper part of the first clamping shaft 203a is no longer hindered, and the second clamping shaft 203b remains clamped by the second locking rod 202b. At this time, the buckle plate 203 can rotate around the second clamping shaft 203b, so that the insertion frame 302 can be inserted between the buckle plate 203 and the connecting seat 201. After the insertion frame 302 is inserted into the buckle plate 203, the first clamping shaft 203a falls into the first semicircular groove 201a under the action of gravity, the locking frame 202 is reset, the first locking rod 202a and the second locking rod 202b clamp the first clamping shaft 203a and the second clamping shaft 203b, and the connection between the connecting mechanism 200 and the insertion frame 302 is completed.

[0038] The operation of the chain 100 drives the flexible trolley to move until the flexible trolley is lifted to the top of the energy storage platform, and the connecting mechanism 200 moves to the upper flat area 103. At this time, it is needed to separate the connection between the flexible trolley and the chain 100. The sliding locking frame 202 is used to make the first locking rod 202a slide towards the second locking rod 202b. At this time, the first clamping shaft 203a can be clamped by the first locking rod 202a. The second locking rod 202b loses the hindering of the second clamping shaft 203b due to sliding. Therefore, the buckle plate 203 can rotate around the first clamping shaft 203a. After the buckle plate 203 rotates, the insertion frame 302 can be separated.

[0039] In summary, the buckle plate 203 is used to clamp the insertion frame 302. When the flexible trolley is lifted, the separation phenomenon can be avoided, and the safety hazard is reduced.

[0040] Embodiment 2, referring to FIGS. 1-6, is a second embodiment of the application. Different from the previous embodiment, the connecting mechanism 200 further includes a limiting frame 204 fixedly arranged on the connecting seat 201, and a side sliding plate 205 slidably arranged on the limiting frame 204. The side sliding plate 205 is provided with an inclined pushing groove 205a and a limiting groove 205b, and the limiting groove 205b is provided with a spring 206. The locking frame 202 is provided with a pushing column 202c, and the outer wall of the pushing column 202c and the inner wall of the inclined pushing groove 205a are in sliding connection. In this embodiment, the limiting frame 204 is provided with a spring 206 at both upper and lower ends. When the side sliding plate 205 is not under stress, the pushing column 202c can remain in the middle part of the inclined pushing groove 205a. When the side sliding plate 205 slides downward or upward, the locking frame 202 can be pushed to slide.

[0041] Specifically, the opening top plate 400 is further included, the opening top plate 400 includes a lower top plate 401, and an inclined pushing surface 402 arranged on the lower top plate 401; the side sliding plate 205 is provided with a lower abutting surface 205c, and it is to be noted that the opening top plate 400 is fixedly arranged in a groove at the lower flat area 101, and when the side sliding plate 205 moves close to the opening top plate 400, the inclined pushing surface 402 can be aligned with the abutting surface 205c.

[0042] Further included is a disengaging top rod 500, the disengaging top rod 500 includes an upper pushing rod 501, and an upper top surface 502 arranged on the upper pushing rod 501; the side sliding plate 205 is provided with an upper abutting surface 205d; it is to be noted that the disengaging top rod 500 is fixedly arranged in a groove at the upper flat area 103, and when the side sliding plate 205 moves close to the disengaging top rod 500, the upper pushing rod 501 will abut on the upper abutting surface 205d.

[0043] Specifically, the buckle plate 203 is provided with an upper pushing surface 203c; the buckle plate 203 is provided with a disengaging surface 203e; and the buckle plate 203 is provided with a pushing surface 203d.

[0044] Preferably, the upper pushing rod 501 is provided with a reset slot 503; and the length of the second clamping shaft 203b is greater than that of the first clamping shaft 203a.

[0045] The rest of the structure is the same as that of the embodiment 1.

[0046] The flexible trolley is parked above the lower flat area 101, and when the chain 100 moves, the connecting mechanism 200 approaches the opening top plate 400 and the flexible trolley, and when the abutting surface 205c contacts the inclined pushing surface 402, the side sliding plate 205 will slide due to the abutment of the inclined pushing surface 402 on the lower top plate 401, and when the side sliding plate 205 slides, the locking frame 202 is pushed to slide through the inclined pushing slot 205a, so that the first locking rod 202a slides away from the second locking rod 202b, and the buckle plate 203 can rotate around the second clamping shaft 203b, and with the movement of the chain 100, the buckle plate 203 will abut on the plug-in frame 302, and due to the arrangement of the upper pushing surface 203c, the buckle plate 203 will rotate when it is abutted, until the plug-in frame 302 enters between the buckle plate 203 and the connecting seat 201, and under the action of gravity, the first clamping shaft 203a falls into the first semicircular slot 201a, and after the chain 100 moves a certain distance, the lower top plate 401 will lose the abutment with the side sliding plate 205, and under the elastic force of the spring 206, the locking frame 202 is reset, and then the buckle plate 203 is locked, thereby realizing the connection of the trolley.

[0047] It should be noted that due to the arrangement of the pushing surface 203d, after the buckling plate 203 is reset by gravity, the insertion frame 302 abuts against the pushing surface 203d, at this time, the insertion frame 302 can be pushed by the pushing surface 203d, so as to move the trolley and increase the contact area.

[0048] When the connecting mechanism 200 and the docking mechanism 300 move to the upper flat area 103, the movement of the chain 100 will make the upper abutting surface 205d abut against the end of the upper pushing rod 501, and the side slide plate 205 will slide after being abutted, so as to make the locking frame 202 slide, and the first locking rod 202a slides towards the direction of approaching the second locking rod 202b, at this time, the first locking rod 202a can be used to clamp the first clamping shaft 203a, and the second locking rod 202b will lose the obstruction to the second clamping shaft 203b due to the sliding, and with the increase of the movement distance, and since the length of the second clamping shaft 203b is greater than that of the first clamping shaft 203a, the upper top surface 502 will abut against the second clamping shaft 203b, the second clamping shaft 203b is pushed by the upper top surface 502, so as to preliminarily deflect the buckling plate 203, so that the insertion frame 302 contacts the disengagement surface 203e, the insertion frame 302 pushes the buckling plate 203 to further deflect, until the insertion frame 302 and the buckling plate 203 are disengaged, and due to the arrangement of the reset groove 503, in cooperation with the action of the gravity, the second clamping shaft 203b can fall into the second semicircular groove 201b, so as to restore the state of the buckling plate 203, and with the movement of the chain 100, the upper pushing rod 501 will lose the abutment with the side slide plate 205, and under the elastic force of the spring 206, the locking frame 202 is reset, and the buckling plate 203 is locked.

[0049] In summary, the connection and automatic disengagement between the docking mechanism 300 and the connecting mechanism 200 can be realized.

[0050] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not limit the present application, although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced equivalently without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application, and all of them should be covered in the scope of the claims of the present application.
