[0038] See also Figure 1-4, an embodiment of the present application provides an automatic door that can be installed on the cabinet body 200 of the power exchange cabinet, and is used to open or close the cabinet body 200 in a controlled and automatic manner. Specifically, the automatic door of one embodiment includes a door panel 110, a drive assembly 120, a first swing arm 131, a transmission member 141 and a second swing arm 132. The door panel 110 is used to cooperate with the opening 210 of the cabinet body 200 for opening and closing, and the drive assembly 120 is connected to the cabinet body 200 for driving the door panel 110 to open and close. One end of the first swing arm 131 is drive-connected to the drive assembly 120, and the other end of the first swing arm 131 is rotatably connected to one side of the door panel 110. The transmission member 141 is drive-connected to the drive assembly 120 for transmitting the output power of the drive assembly 120. One end of the second swing arm 132 is connected to the transmission member 141, and the other end of the second swing arm 132 is rotatably connected to the other side of the door panel 110, so that the door panel 110 can be automatically opened or closed by driving the first swing arm 131 and the second swing arm 132 to swing through the driving component 120.

[0039] The automatic door described above drives the first swing arm 131 and the second swing arm 132 to rotate via the drive assembly 120. Since the first swing arm 131 and the second swing arm 132 are also rotatably connected to the door panel 110, the door panel 110 can move under the drive of the first swing arm 131 and the second swing arm 132, thereby achieving automatic opening and closing of the door panel 110. Compared to traditional cabinet doors that require manual opening and closing, the automatic door of the present application can automatically open and close the door panel by controlling the drive assembly 120 with simple commands. It is convenient to operate, has a humanized design, and is more able to meet the needs of the high-end market.

[0040] Specifically, see Figure 3The automatic door also includes a box body, which includes a top plate 151, a bottom plate 152 and two side plates 153 for connecting the top plate 151 and the bottom plate 152. The top plate 151 and the bottom plate 152 are opposite to each other and spaced apart, and the two side plates 153 are opposite to each other and spaced apart. The top plate 151, the bottom plate 152 and one of the side plates 153 can be connected to the cabinet body 200 of the power exchange cabinet by screws or other threaded parts. The drive assembly 120 is fixedly set on the top plate 151. Specifically, the drive assembly 120 includes a drive member 121 and a reduction gear 122 driven and connected to the drive member 121. The drive member 121 can be a motor, and the reduction gear 122 is connected to the output shaft of the motor. A gear set is provided in the reduction gear 122, and the reduction gear 122 is used to regulate the speed of the power output by the drive member 121. Furthermore, the reduction gearbox 122 is further provided with a first output shaft 123 and a second output shaft (not shown). The first output shaft 123 and the second output shaft are disposed opposite each other, for example, located on the upper and lower sides of the top plate 151, respectively. The first output shaft 123 is drivingly connected to the first swing arm 131, while the second output shaft is drivingly connected to the transmission member 141, thereby enabling the drive assembly 120 to simultaneously output power to the first swing arm 131 and the second swing arm 132. Preferably, the first output shaft 123 is mounted on the top plate 151 via a first bearing 123, and the first swing arm 131 is fixedly connected to the first output shaft 123 via a washer 172 and a fastening screw 171. Preferably, the transmission member 141 can be a drive shaft, one end of which is connected to the second output shaft via a coupling 142, and the other end of which is rotatably mounted on and extends through the bottom plate 152 via a second bearing 143. The second swing arm 132 is fixedly connected to the end of the transmission member 141 away from the coupling 142 through a washer 172 and a fastening screw 171 .

[0041] Furthermore, the automatic door also includes a third swing arm 133, one end of which is rotatably connected to the top plate 151 via an adapter such as a rotating shaft, and the other end of the third swing arm 133 is rotatably connected to the door panel 110. Furthermore, the third swing arm 133 is located on the side of the first swing arm 131 closest to the top plate 151, thereby preventing interference between the first and third swing arms 131, 133. Furthermore, the automatic door may also include a fourth swing arm 134, one end of which is rotatably connected to the bottom plate 152, and the other end of the fourth swing arm 134 is rotatably connected to the door panel 110. The provision of the third and fourth swing arms 133, 134, improves the stability of the opening and closing movement of the door panel 110, enhancing the user experience. Preferably, the shape of the first swing arm 131, the shape of the second swing arm 132, the shape of the third swing arm 133 and the shape of the fourth swing arm 134 are all the same, for example Figure 3As shown in the figure, the first swing arm 131, the second swing arm 132, the third swing arm 133 and the fourth swing arm 134 are all in an "L"-shaped structure, and the first swing arm 131 is arranged in parallel with the second swing arm 132, and the third swing arm 133 is arranged in parallel with the fourth swing arm 134, so that the door panel 110 moves in parallel under the drive of the first swing arm 131, the second swing arm 132, the third swing arm 133 and the fourth swing arm 134. Compared with the cabinet door that opens and closes by flipping, the automatic door of this application drives the door panel to open and close by setting four "L"-shaped swing arms, avoiding the need to open avoidance holes on the cabinet body, and making the overall appearance of the storage complete and beautiful. In particular, when applied to a power exchange cabinet embedded in the wall, the door panel can move parallel to the wall surface when opening and closing, the opening and closing process is beautiful, and the user experience is improved.

[0042] Continue to see Figure 3 A rolling element 135 is rotatably provided on the first swing arm 131 and / or the third swing arm 133. The rolling element 135 rolls in cooperation with the top plate 151 to support the first swing arm 131 and the third swing arm 133. This allows the weight of the door panel 110 to be transferred to the top plate 151 and then to the cabinet body 200 via the rolling element 135, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the first swing arm 131 and / or the third swing arm 133. Furthermore, the rolling cooperation between the rotatable rolling element 135 and the top plate 151 also makes the swinging motion of the first swing arm 131 and the third swing arm 133 smoother. Furthermore, the second swing arm 132 and / or the fourth swing arm 134 may also be provided with a rotatable rolling element 135. Specifically, the automatic door further comprises a support plate 154, which is located on a side of the bottom plate 152 away from the top plate 151. The rolling elements 135 on the second swing arm 132 and the fourth swing arm 134 roll in cooperation with the support plate 154 to support the second swing arm 132 and the fourth swing arm 134, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity and movement smoothness of the third swing arm 133 and the fourth swing arm 134. Preferably, the rolling element 135 may be a universal ball, and each of the first swing arm 131, the second swing arm 132, the third swing arm 133, and the fourth swing arm 134 is provided with a receiving hole, and the universal ball is rotatably disposed within the receiving hole.

[0043] Furthermore, the automatic door further includes a first limit switch 161, a second limit switch 162 and a controller (not shown), the controller being electrically connected to the first limit switch 161, the second limit switch 162 and the drive assembly 120, and the controller being used to control the movement of the drive assembly 120 when the first limit switch 161 and the second limit switch 162 are triggered. Figure 3The first limit switch 161 and the second limit switch 162 are both disposed on the top plate 151 and are spaced apart on either side of the first swing arm 131. Thus, when the door panel 110 is fully opened, the first swing arm 131 abuts against the first limit switch 161, closing the first limit switch 161 and triggering the first limit switch 161. The first limit switch 161 then sends a control signal to the controller, which in turn stops the drive assembly 120 based on the control signal, thereby stopping the door panel 110 and ensuring that the door panel 110 is accurately opened. Similarly, when the door panel 110 is fully closed, the first swing arm 131 abuts against the second limit switch 162, thereby triggering the second limit switch 162. The second limit switch 162 sends a control signal to the controller, which in turn stops the drive assembly 120 based on the control signal, thereby stopping the door panel 110 and ensuring that the door panel 110 is accurately closed. It should be noted that the first limit switch 161 and the second limit switch 162 can also be set on the base plate 152, and the first limit switch 161 and the second limit switch 162 are respectively located on both sides of the second swing arm 132. The first limit switch 161 and the second limit switch 162 are triggered by the second swing arm 132, thereby accurately controlling the opening and closing of the door panel 110.

[0044] Furthermore, the automatic door is also provided with a limit block 153, which is used to abut against the first swing arm 131 or the second swing arm 132 when the door panel 110 is fully opened. The limit block 153 is used to prevent the first swing arm 131 or the second swing arm 132 from swinging beyond the limit stroke, thereby damaging the drive member 121 or damaging the first limit switch 161. Preferably, the limit block 153 is disposed on the top plate 151 and is located next to the first limit switch 161. When the door panel 110 is fully opened, the limit block 153 abuts against the first swing arm 131 to prevent the first swing arm 131 from moving forward while ensuring that the first swing arm 131 can trigger the first limit switch 161, thereby preventing the first limit switch 161 from being damaged. It should be noted that the limit block 153 can also be disposed on the bottom plate 152 to prevent the second swing arm 132 from moving forward when the door panel 110 is fully opened.

[0045] See also Figure 3, a first bracket 111 and a second bracket 112 are also provided on the door panel 110 at intervals. Preferably, the first bracket 111 and the second bracket 112 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the door panel 110. The first swing arm 131 is rotatably connected to the first bracket 111 through a first adapter. Preferably, the first adapter includes a gasket and a rotating shaft rotatably connecting the first swing arm 131 and the first bracket 111. Similarly, the second swing arm 132 is rotatably connected to the second bracket 112 through a second adapter. Preferably, the second adapter has the same structure as the first adapter, and can also be a gasket and a rotating shaft rotatably connecting the first swing arm 131 and the first bracket 111. Furthermore, a third bracket 113 and a fourth bracket 114 can also be provided on the door panel 110. The third bracket 113 is provided next to the first bracket 111 and is located on the same horizontal plane as the first bracket 111. The third bracket 113 is used to be rotatably connected to the third swing arm 133. Similarly, the fourth bracket 114 is disposed beside the second bracket 112 and is located at the same horizontal plane as the second bracket 112 . The fourth bracket 114 is configured to be rotatably connected to the fourth swing arm 134 .

[0046] Further, see Figure 1-4 One embodiment of the present application also provides a battery exchange cabinet. Specifically, the battery exchange cabinet of one embodiment includes a cabinet body 200 and an automatic door as in any of the above embodiments. The cabinet body 200 is provided with an opening 210. The automatic door is arranged on the cabinet body 200, and the door panel 110 of the automatic door can cooperate with the opening 210 in opening and closing.

[0047] The automatic door of the battery exchange cabinet is driven by the drive assembly 120 to rotate the first swing arm 131 and the second swing arm 132. Since the first swing arm 131 and the second swing arm 132 are also rotatably connected to the door panel 110, the door panel 110 can move under the drive of the first swing arm 131 and the second swing arm 132, thereby realizing the automatic opening and closing of the door panel 110. Compared with traditional cabinet doors that need to be opened and closed manually, the automatic door of the present application can realize the automatic opening and closing of the door panel 110 by controlling the drive assembly 120 through simple commands. It is easy to operate and has a humanized design, which can better meet the needs of the high-end market.
