Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a carrier for sliding a battery module into a cabinet, belonging to the technical field of mobile energy container installation equipment. Background Art
[0002] MEC (Mobile Energy Container) is a mobile device that provides zero-emission energy for inland river ships. It installs batteries in a standard container, which can be placed in the cargo hold of an ordinary container ship, making it easier for shipowners to obtain viable green navigation.
[0003] Currently, the common practice of assembling MEC at home and abroad is to assemble battery cells into battery modules, install the battery modules on a battery cabinet, and install the battery cabinet in a container. The mass of the battery module is about 330 kg. Forklifts and other transportation tools are needed to carry and install the battery module into the battery cabinet. However, the grid space for the battery module in the battery cabinet is limited, and it is difficult for a forklift to directly install the battery module into the battery cabinet. Therefore, a carrier is needed to install the battery module into the battery cabinet, but relevant carriers are lacking in the market currently. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a carrier for sliding a battery module into a cabinet, which can slide the battery module into the battery cabinet and improve the installation efficiency of the battery module.
[0005] To achieve the above technical purpose, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0006] The carrier for sliding a battery module into a cabinet includes a carrier bottom plate. A left side plate and a right side plate are installed on the upper part of the carrier bottom plate. A carrier top plate is connected between the left side plate and the right side plate. The carrier top plate, the left side plate, the right side plate, and the carrier bottom plate form a cavity for the battery module to travel. In the cavity, a load-bearing wheel set is arranged on the carrier bottom plate, and the load-bearing wheel set is used to enable the battery module to slide on the carrier bottom plate; a first push plate is arranged in the cavity. The first push plate is fixedly connected to the vertical support of a first triangular bracket. The horizontal support of the first triangular bracket is fixedly connected to a driven plate. The driven plate is movably connected to a slide rail, and the slide rail is fixedly connected to the carrier top plate. The driven plate is connected to a power mechanism, and the power mechanism is used to drive the driven plate to reciprocate along the slide rail.
[0007] The driven plate is movably connected to a second push plate through a locking mechanism. The second push plate is fixedly connected to the horizontal support of a second triangular bracket. The vertical support of the second triangular bracket is movably connected to the first push plate through a shaft rod. The second push plate can fall to the load-bearing wheel set with the shaft rod as the center, and the locking mechanism is used to limit the fall of the second push plate.
[0008] The locking mechanism includes a pull rod which passes through the driven plate. Above the driven plate, the pull rod passes through the notch of the first channel-shaped bracket, and below the driven plate, the pull rod passes through the notch of the second channel-shaped bracket. The notches of the first channel-shaped bracket and the second channel-shaped bracket both face the driven plate. The first channel-shaped bracket and the second channel-shaped bracket are both fixedly connected to the driven plate. Between the first channel-shaped bracket and the second channel-shaped bracket, a pull rod anti-drop ring is arranged on the pull rod. Between the pull rod anti-drop ring and the first channel-shaped bracket, a pull rod spring is sleeved on the pull rod. The pull rod spring is used to reset the pull rod anti-drop ring to the side of the second channel-shaped bracket. A through hole for the end of the pull rod to pass through is arranged on the second push plate.
[0009] When the pull rod anti-drop ring is on the side of the second channel-shaped bracket, the end of the pull rod can pass through the through hole on the second push plate, connecting the second push plate to the driven plate and restricting the second push plate from falling towards the load-bearing wheel set. When the pull rod anti-drop ring moves towards the first channel-shaped bracket, the end of the pull rod can disengage from the through hole on the second push plate, enabling the second push plate to fall towards the load-bearing wheel set.
[0010] A pull tab cylinder is arranged on the vehicle top plate. The piston of the pull tab cylinder is connected with a pull claw. On the side of the pull claw, a ring-shaped pull tab is arranged at the end of the pull rod. The pull tab cylinder is used to drive the pull claw to drive the ring-shaped pull tab, causing the pull rod anti-drop ring to move towards the first channel-shaped bracket.
[0011] When the ring-shaped pull tab moves to the position of the pull claw, the pull tab cylinder can drive the pull rod anti-drop ring on the pull rod to move towards the first channel-shaped bracket, enabling the end of the pull rod to disengage from the through hole on the second push plate. The second push plate released from the restriction of the pull rod can fall towards the load-bearing wheel set. When the ring-shaped pull tab is released from the acting force of the pull claw, the pull rod anti-drop ring on the pull rod moves and resets towards the second channel-shaped bracket under the acting force of the pull rod spring to achieve the reset of the pull rod.
[0012] The power mechanism includes a servo motor installed on the vehicle top plate. The servo motor is connected to a transmission roller through a transmission belt. The transmission roller is fixedly connected to a transmission roller shaft. The transmission roller shaft is movably installed on the vehicle top plate. A driving wheel is arranged on the transmission roller shaft. The driving wheel is connected with a driven wheel through an endless belt. The driven wheel is installed on the vehicle top plate. Between the driving wheel and the driven wheel, the endless belt is fixedly connected to the driven plate. The servo motor can drive the driven plate to reciprocate between the driving wheel and the driven wheel.
[0013] The servo motor drives the transmission roller to rotate through the transmission belt. The transmission roller drives the driving wheel to rotate. The driving wheel drives the driven wheel to rotate through the endless belt, so as to achieve the purpose of the servo motor driving the endless belt to reciprocate. The driven plate fixedly connected to the endless belt reciprocates along the slide rail following the endless belt, so as to achieve the reciprocating movement of the first push plate and the second push plate in the cavity.
[0014] Preferably, the driving roller, the driving wheel and the driven wheel are all gears, and the transmission belt and the annular belt are both chains.
[0015] In the cavity, the left side plate and the right side plate are both provided with a limited-slip mechanism for limiting the battery module to prevent it from sliding.
[0016] The limited-slip mechanism includes a slide rod that passes through the first slide rod seat and the second slide rod seat. Between the first slide rod seat and the second slide rod seat, a slide rod anti-drop ring is arranged on the slide rod. Between the slide rod anti-drop ring and the first slide rod seat, a slide rod spring is sleeved on the slide rod. The slide rod spring is used to reset the slide rod anti-drop ring to the side of the second slide rod seat. One side of the slide rod is connected to a driving rod, and a hook is arranged beside the driving rod. The hook is connected to the piston of the slide rod cylinder. The slide rod cylinder is used to drive the hook to drive the driving rod, so that the slide rod anti-drop ring moves towards the first slide rod seat.
[0017] The first slide rod seat and the second slide rod seat are fixedly connected to the left side plate or the right side plate.
[0018] When the slide rod cylinder drives the hook, the hook drives the driving rod, and the driving rod drives the slide rod anti-drop ring on the slide rod to move towards the first slide rod seat, the end of the slide rod can be disengaged from the battery module, enabling the battery module to slide on the load-bearing wheel set; when the driving rod is disengaged from the acting force of the hook, the slide rod anti-drop ring moves towards the second slide rod seat for reset under the acting force of the slide rod spring, and the slide rod moving towards the second slide rod seat can limit the battery module to prevent the battery module from sliding on the load-bearing wheel set.
[0019] On one side of the second slider seat, the end of the slide rod is connected to an inclined plane push block. The inclined plane of the inclined plane push block is used for the battery module to push the slide rod, so that the slide rod anti-drop ring moves towards the first slide rod seat.
[0020] When the battery module moves into the cavity, the advancing battery module can abut against the inclined plane of the inclined plane push block, gradually applying a force to the inclined plane push block, so that the slide rod anti-drop ring moves towards the first slide rod seat; when the battery module needs to be pushed out of the cavity, the slide rod cylinder can drive the slide rod anti-drop ring to continue to move towards the first slide rod seat. When the inclined plane push block is disengaged from the battery module, the battery module can slide on the load-bearing wheel set.
[0021] An isolation block is arranged on the second push plate. After the second push plate drops, the isolation block is used to prevent the second push plate from contacting the load-bearing wheel set.
[0022] The first push plate and the second push plate are both provided with a push rod for detachably connecting the battery module. The first push plate and the second push plate both push and pull the battery module through the push rod.
[0023] A mounting seat is provided at the bottom of the vehicle floor. The mounting seat can offset the vehicle floor towards one side of the mounting seat and is connected to a transport vehicle with a lifting function.
[0024] The mounting seat includes a mounting seat bottom plate. The mounting seat bottom plate is connected to the vehicle floor through a plurality of (not less than two) parallel strip plates. On the same side of the plurality of strip plates, the strip plates are movably connected to the mounting seat bottom plate through first bolts. On the other side of the strip plates, the vehicle floor is movably connected to the strip plates through second bolts. The strip plates can respectively rotate around the first bolts and the second bolts as the centers.
[0025] When the battery module slides into the cabinet vehicle and under the action of the transport vehicle, when the cavity where the battery module travels is not aligned with the battery module grid of the battery cabinet left and right, by pushing the battery module sliding into the cabinet vehicle, the strip plates respectively rotate around the first bolts and the second bolts as the centers, so that the vehicle floor offsets towards one side of the mounting seat bottom plate, adjusts the traveling path of the battery module, and aligns the cavity where the battery module travels with the battery module grid of the battery cabinet, thereby pushing the battery module into or out of the grid of the battery cabinet.
[0026] A limit bolt is connected between the vehicle floor and the strip plate.
[0027] When the limit bolt connects the vehicle floor and the strip plate, the strip plate is limited by the limit bolt and cannot rotate around the first bolt and the second bolt as the centers, so that the position of the vehicle floor is fixed and cannot offset to one side; when the limit bolt disengages from the strip plate or the vehicle floor, the strip plate is released from the limit of the limit bolt, so that the strip plate can respectively rotate around the first bolt and the second bolt as the centers, realizing that the vehicle floor can offset to one side.
[0028] A transverse channel steel and a longitudinal channel steel are provided at the bottom of the mounting seat. The notch of the longitudinal channel steel and the notch of the transverse channel steel both open downward. The transverse channel steel is used for the battery module sliding into the cabinet vehicle to be transversely connected to the transport vehicle, and the longitudinal channel steel is used for the battery module sliding into the cabinet vehicle to be longitudinally connected to the transport vehicle.
[0029] When a forklift is used as the transport vehicle for the battery module sliding into the cabinet vehicle, the bottom of the mounting seat is connected to the forklift's fork; when the battery module sliding into the cabinet vehicle is transversely connected to the forklift, the forklift's fork is installed in the transverse channel steel; when the battery module sliding into the cabinet vehicle is longitudinally connected to the forklift, the forklift's fork is installed in the longitudinal channel steel.
[0030] The present invention can push and pull the battery module twice, completely push the battery module into or out of the battery cabinet, and improve the installation efficiency of the battery module.
[0031] The present invention can adjust the traveling path of the battery module, avoid moving the transport vehicle, and improve the installation accuracy and efficiency of the battery module. Description of the Drawings

[0039] As Figure 1-6 shown, the battery module slides into the cabinet carrier, including a carrier bottom plate 11. A left side plate 12 and a right side plate 13 are installed on the upper part of the carrier bottom plate 11. A carrier top plate 14 is connected between the left side plate 12 and the right side plate 13. The carrier top plate 14, the left side plate 12, the right side plate 13 and the carrier bottom plate 11 form a cavity for the battery module to travel. Inside the cavity, a load-bearing wheel set 21 is arranged on the carrier bottom plate 11. The load-bearing wheel set 21 is used to enable the battery module to slide on the carrier bottom plate 11.
[0040] The rollers on the load-bearing wheel set 21 support the battery module, enabling the battery module to slide on the load-bearing wheel set 21 when traveling in the cavity.
[0041] A first push plate 31 is arranged inside the cavity. The first push plate 31 is fixedly connected to the vertical support of a first triangular bracket 32. The horizontal support of the first triangular bracket 32 is fixedly connected to a driven plate 33. The driven plate 33 is movably connected to a slide rail 34. The slide rail 34 is fixedly connected to the carrier top plate 14. The slide rail 34 is arranged along the traveling direction of the battery module. The first triangular bracket 32 and the second triangular bracket 36 described below are both triangular brackets disclosed in the authorized publication number CN 201202950Y.
[0042] The driven plate 33 is movably connected to a second push plate 35 through a locking mechanism. The second push plate 35 is fixedly connected to the horizontal support of the second triangular bracket 36. The vertical support of the second triangular bracket 36 is movably connected to the first push plate 31 through a shaft rod 37. The second push plate 35 can fall to the load-bearing wheel set 21 with the shaft rod 37 as the center. The locking mechanism is used to limit the fall of the second push plate 35.
[0043] The locking mechanism includes a pull rod 51. The pull rod 51 passes through the driven plate 33. Above the driven plate 33, the pull rod 51 passes through the notch of the first channel-shaped bracket 52. Below the driven plate 33, the pull rod 51 passes through the notch of the second channel-shaped bracket 53. The notches of the first channel-shaped bracket 52 and the second channel-shaped bracket 53 both face the driven plate 33. The first channel-shaped bracket 52 and the second channel-shaped bracket 53 are both fixedly connected to the driven plate 33. Between the first channel-shaped bracket 52 and the second channel-shaped bracket 53, a pull rod anti-disengagement ring 54 is arranged on the pull rod 51. Between the pull rod anti-disengagement ring 54 and the first channel-shaped bracket 52, a pull rod spring is sleeved on the pull rod 51. The pull rod spring is used to reset the pull rod anti-disengagement ring 54 to the side of the second channel-shaped bracket 53. A through hole for the end of the pull rod 51 to pass through is arranged on the second push plate 35.
[0044] When the pull rod anti-disengagement ring 54 is on the side of the second channel-shaped bracket 53, the end of the pull rod 51 can pass through the through hole on the second push plate 35, connecting the second push plate 35 to the driven plate 33 and restricting the second push plate 35 from falling towards the load-bearing wheel set 21. When the pull rod anti-disengagement ring 54 moves towards the first channel-shaped bracket 52, the end of the pull rod 51 can disengage from the through hole on the second push plate 35, enabling the second push plate 35 to fall towards the load-bearing wheel set.
[0045] A pull sheet cylinder 55 is fixedly installed on the top plate 14 of the vehicle carrier. The piston of the pull sheet cylinder 55 is connected to a pull claw 56. On the side of the pull claw 56, a circular pull sheet 57 is arranged at the end of the pull rod 51. The pull sheet cylinder 55 is used to drive the pull claw 56 to drive the circular pull sheet 57, causing the pull rod anti-disengagement ring 54 to move towards the first channel-shaped bracket 52.
[0046] When the circular pull sheet 57 moves to the position of the pull claw 56, the pull sheet cylinder 55 can drive the pull rod anti-disengagement ring 54 on the pull rod 51 to move towards the first channel-shaped bracket 52, enabling the end of the pull rod 51 to disengage from the through hole on the second push plate 35. The second push plate 35 released from the restriction of the pull rod 51 can fall towards the load-bearing wheel set 21. When the circular pull sheet 57 is out of the acting force of the pull claw 56, the pull rod anti-disengagement ring 54 on the pull rod 51 moves and resets towards the second channel-shaped bracket 53 under the acting force of the pull rod spring to achieve the reset of the pull rod 51.
[0047] The driven plate 33 is connected to a power mechanism. The power mechanism 33 is used to drive the driven plate 33 to reciprocate along the slide rail 34.
[0048] The power mechanism includes a servo motor 41 installed on the top plate 14 of the vehicle. The servo motor 41 is connected to a transmission roller 43 through a transmission belt 42. The transmission roller 43 is fixedly connected to a transmission roller 44. The transmission roller 44 is movably installed on the top plate 14 of the vehicle. The transmission roller 44 is provided with a driving wheel 45. The driving wheel 45 is connected to a driven wheel 47 through an endless belt 46. The driven wheel 47 is installed on the top plate 14 of the vehicle. Between the driving wheel 45 and the driven wheel 47, the endless belt 46 is fixedly connected to a driven plate 33. End portions at both ends of the transmission roller 43 are both provided with driving wheels 45. The driving wheels 45 at both ends of the transmission roller 43 are both connected to driven wheels 47 through endless belts 46. The endless belts 46 at both ends of the transmission roller 43 are both connected to the driven plate 33. The servo motor 41 can drive the driven plate 33 to reciprocate between the driving wheel 45 and the driven wheel 47.
[0049] The transmission roller 43, the driving wheel 45 and the driven wheel 47 are all gears, and the transmission belt 42 and the endless belt 46 are both chains.
[0050] The servo motor 41 drives the transmission roller 44 to rotate through the transmission belt 42. The transmission roller 44 drives the driving wheels 45 at both ends of the transmission roller 44 to rotate. The driving wheels 45 drive their driven wheels 47 to rotate through their respective endless belts 46, so as to achieve the purpose of driving the endless belt 46 to reciprocate by the servo motor 41. The driven plate 33 fixedly connected to the endless belt 46 reciprocates along the slide rail 34 following the endless belt 46, so as to achieve the front and back reciprocating movement of the first push plate 31 and the second push plate 35 in the cavity.
[0051] In the cavity, both the left side plate 12 and the right side plate 13 are provided with anti-slip mechanisms for limiting the battery module to prevent the battery module from sliding.
[0052] The anti-slip mechanism includes a slide bar 61. The slide bar 61 passes through a first slide bar seat 62 and a second slide bar seat 63. Between the first slide bar seat 61 and the second slide bar seat 63, the slide bar 61 is provided with a slide bar anti-drop ring 64. Between the slide bar anti-drop ring 64 and the first slide bar seat 61, the slide bar 61 is sleeved with a slide bar spring. The slide bar spring is used for the slide bar anti-drop ring 64 to reset to the side of the second slide bar seat 63. One side of the slide bar 61 is connected to a driving rod 65. A hook 66 is arranged beside the driving rod 65. The hook 66 is connected to a piston of a slide bar cylinder 67. The slide bar cylinder 67 is used for the hook 66 to drive the driving rod 65 to move the slide bar anti-drop ring 64 to the side of the first slide bar seat 62.
[0053] The first slide bar seat 62 and the second slide bar seat 63 are fixedly connected to the side plate (the left side plate 12 or the right side plate 13).
[0054] When the slide bar cylinder 67 drives the hook 66, the hook 66 drives the drive rod 65, and when the drive rod 65 drives the slide bar anti - detachment ring 64 on the slide bar 61 to move towards the first slide bar seat 62, the end of the slide bar 61 can be disengaged from the battery module, enabling the battery module to slide on the load - bearing wheel set 21; when the drive rod 65 is disengaged from the acting force of the hook 66, the slide bar anti - detachment ring 64 moves towards the second slide bar seat 63 to reset under the acting force of the slide bar spring, and the slide bar 61 moving towards the second slide bar seat 63 can limit the battery module to prevent the battery module from sliding on the load - bearing wheel set 21.
[0055] On one side of the second slider seat 63, the end of the slide bar 61 is connected with an inclined - plane push block 68, and the inclined plane of the inclined - plane push block 68 is used for the battery module to push the slide bar 61, so that the slide bar anti - detachment ring 64 moves towards one side of the first slide bar seat 62.
[0056] When the battery module travels into the cavity, the traveling battery module can abut against the inclined plane of the inclined - plane push block 68, gradually apply a force to the inclined - plane push block 68, so that the slide bar anti - detachment ring 64 moves towards one side of the first slide bar seat 62; when the battery module needs to be pushed out of the cavity, the slide bar cylinder 67 can drive the slide bar anti - detachment ring 64 to continue moving towards one side of the first slide bar seat 62. When the inclined - plane push block 68 is disengaged from the battery module, the battery module can slide on the load - bearing wheel set 21.
[0057] An isolation block 38 is arranged on the second push plate 35. After the second push plate 35 drops, the isolation block 38 is used to prevent the second push plate 35 from contacting the load - bearing wheel set 21.
[0058] Both the first push plate 31 and the second push plate 35 are provided with push rods 7. The push rods 7 are used for detachably connecting the battery module, and both the first push plate 31 and the second push plate 35 push and pull the battery module through the push rods 7.
[0059] An installation seat is arranged at the bottom of the carrier bottom plate 11. The installation seat can offset the carrier bottom plate 11 towards one side of the installation seat and is connected to a transport vehicle with a lifting function.
[0060] The installation seat includes an installation seat bottom plate 81. The installation seat bottom plate 81 is connected to the carrier bottom plate 11 through four (multiple can also be set, at least two) parallel strip - shaped plates 82. The four mutually parallel strip - shaped plates 82 are respectively located around the carrier bottom plate 11. On the same side of the four strip - shaped plates 82, the strip - shaped plates 82 are movably connected to the installation seat bottom plate 81 through the first bolts 83. On the other side of the strip - shaped plates 82, the carrier bottom plate 11 is movably connected to the strip - shaped plates 82 through the second bolts 84. The strip - shaped plates 82 can respectively rotate around the first bolts 83 and the second bolts 84 as the centers, so that the installation seat bottom plate 81 and the carrier bottom plate 11 are offset and displaced towards one side to realize the adjustment of the traveling path of the battery module.
[0061] When the battery module slides into the cabinet-mounted vehicle and under the action of the transport vehicle, when the cavity where the battery module travels is not aligned with the battery module grid of the battery cabinet on the left and right, by pushing the battery module sliding into the cabinet-mounted vehicle, the strip plate 82 rotates respectively with the first bolt 83 and the second bolt 84 as the centers. Because there is a distance between the first bolt 83 and the second bolt 84, the vehicle bottom plate 11 can be offset toward the mounting seat bottom plate 81 side, adjusting the traveling path of the battery module to align the cavity where the battery module travels with the battery module grid of the battery cabinet, so as to push the battery module into or out of the grid of the battery cabinet.
[0062] A limit bolt 85 is connected between the vehicle bottom plate 11 and the strip plate 82.
[0063] When the limit bolt 85 connects the vehicle bottom plate 11 and the strip plate 82, the strip plate 82 is limited by the limit bolt 85 and cannot rotate with the first bolt 83 and the second bolt 84 as the centers, so that the position of the vehicle bottom plate 11 is fixed and cannot be offset to one side; when the limit bolt 85 is disengaged from the strip plate 82 or the vehicle bottom plate 11, the strip plate 82 is disengaged from the limit of the limit bolt 85, so that the strip plate 82 can rotate respectively with the first bolt 83 and the second bolt 84 as the centers, realizing that the vehicle bottom plate 11 can be offset to one side.
[0064] Longitudinal channel steel 91 and transverse channel steel 92 are arranged at the bottom of the mounting seat. The notch of the longitudinal channel steel 91 and the notch of the transverse channel steel 92 both open downward. The transverse channel steel 92 is used for the battery module sliding into the cabinet-mounted vehicle to be horizontally connected to the transport vehicle, and the longitudinal channel steel 91 is used for the battery module sliding into the cabinet-mounted vehicle to be longitudinally connected to the transport vehicle.
[0065] When using a forklift as the transport vehicle for the battery module sliding into the cabinet-mounted vehicle, the bottom of the mounting seat is connected to the forklift forks; when the battery module sliding into the cabinet-mounted vehicle is horizontally connected to the forklift, the forklift forks are installed in the transverse channel steel 92; when the battery module sliding into the cabinet-mounted vehicle is longitudinally connected to the forklift, the forklift forks are installed in the longitudinal channel steel 91.
[0066] The operation steps for pulling the battery module into the vehicle in this embodiment:
[0067] 1. The servo motor 41 drives the annular pull tab 57 to the claw 56. The pull tab cylinder 55 drives the claw 56, so that the pull rod anti-drop ring 54 on the pull rod 51 moves toward the first trough-shaped bracket 52 side, and the end of the pull rod 51 disengages from the through hole on the second push plate 35. The second push plate 35 restricted by the pull rod 51 drops to the load-bearing wheel set 21; after the second push plate 35 is disengaged from the restriction of the pull rod 51, the pull tab cylinder 55 drives the claw 56 to reset, and the annular pull tab 57 is disengaged from the acting force of the claw 56. This step can also directly manually pull the annular pull tab 57 to disengage the second push plate 35 from the restriction of the pull rod 51.
[0068] 2. After the second push plate 35 drops onto the load-bearing wheel set 21 and the annular pull tab 57 is released from the acting force of the pull claw 56, the servo motor 41 drives the second push plate 35 to move to the cavity inlet. The push rod 7 of the second push plate 35 extends out of the cavity, and the push rod 7 extending out of the cavity is connected to the battery module. At this time, the plane where the battery module slides in the cavity is flush with the bottom of the battery module, so as to facilitate the battery module to be pulled into the carrier.
[0069] 3. After the push rod 7 on the second push plate 35 is connected to the battery module, the servo motor 41 drives the second push plate 35 to move into the cavity, and the second push plate 35 pulls the battery module into the cavity.
[0070] 4. After one end of the battery module is pulled into the cavity by the second push plate 35, the push rod 7 is disassembled so that the battery module is separated from the push rod 7 on the second push plate 35.
[0071] 5. After the battery module is separated from the push rod 7 on the second push plate 35, the second push plate 35 rotates upward to the driven plate 33 with the shaft rod 37 as the center of the circle. The end of the pull rod 51 passes through the through hole of the second push plate 35, and the second push plate 35 is limited by the pull rod 51 to prevent the second push plate 35 from dropping.
[0072] 6. The servo motor 41 drives the first push plate 31 so that the push rod 7 on the first push plate 31 can be connected to the battery module.
[0073] 7. After the push rod 7 on the first push plate 31 is connected to the battery module, the servo motor 41 drives the first push plate 31 to pull the battery module completely into the cavity.
[0074] It should be noted that the battery module moving into the cavity slides on the load-bearing wheel set 21 and will press against the inclined surface of the inclined surface push block 68 during the movement process, gradually applying a force to the inclined surface push block 68, causing the slide rod anti-drop ring 64 to move towards the first slide rod seat 62 side. The inclined surface push block 68 presses the battery module under the action of the slide rod spring force to limit the battery module. When the battery module is not affected by external forces, the battery module cannot slide on the load-bearing wheel set 21.
[0075] Preferably, a plurality of card slots can be preset on the battery module. When the card slots move to the inclined surface push block 68, the inclined surface push block 68 extends into the card slots under the action of the slide rod spring force. Specifically, the inclined surface of the inclined surface push block 68 is arranged on the cavity inlet side. The battery module moving into the cavity can apply a force to the inclined surface, causing the end of the inclined surface push block 68 to move towards the first slide rod seat 62 side. When the card slots move to the inclined surface push block 68, the inclined surface push block 68 extends into the card slots under the action of the slide rod spring force. Since the other side of the inclined surface push block 68 is not an inclined surface structure, the battery module moving in the reverse direction (i.e., the direction in which the battery module is pushed out of the cavity) cannot cause the end of the inclined surface push block 68 to move towards the first slide rod seat 62 side, thereby limiting the battery module and preventing the battery module from sliding towards the cavity inlet side and sliding out of the cavity.
[0076] The operation steps for the battery module of this embodiment to be pushed out of the vehicle and loaded into the battery cabinet are as follows:
[0077] 1. Before the forklift transports the battery module sliding into the cabinet carrier to the battery module grid of the battery cabinet, the plane where the battery module slides is flush with the bottom of the battery module grid of the battery cabinet, and the cavity where the battery module travels is aligned with the battery module grid of the battery cabinet. If the cavity where the battery module travels is not aligned with the battery module grid of the battery cabinet left and right, remove the limit bolt 85 to make the strip plate 82 break away from the restriction of the limit bolt 85, push the carrier, and make the battery module slide into the cabinet carrier offset left and right to adjust the travel path of the battery module so that the cavity where the battery module travels is aligned with the battery module grid, thereby avoiding adjustment by the forklift and improving the installation efficiency. After the travel path of the battery module, tighten the limit bolt 85 and connect the strip plate 82 and the carrier bottom plate 11 to limit the strip plate 82 to prevent the carrier from shifting.
[0078] 2. After the cavity where the battery module travels is aligned with the battery module grid of the battery cabinet, the slide bar cylinder 67 drives the hook 66, the hook 66 drives the drive rod 65, and the drive rod 65 drives the slide bar anti - detachment ring 64 to move towards the first slide bar seat 62 side, so that the inclined surface push block 68 at the end of the slide bar 61 disengages from the battery module.
[0079] 3. After the inclined surface push block 68 disengages from the battery module, the servo motor 41 drives the first push plate 31 to push the battery module into the battery cabinet. At this time, due to external reasons such as the gap between the cabinet - loading carrier and the battery cabinet, the battery module cannot be completely pushed into the battery cabinet by the first push plate 31, and the second push plate 35 needs to be used to push the battery module again.
[0080] 4. After the first push plate 31 pushes one end of the battery module into the battery module grid of the battery cabinet, remove the push rod 7 of the first push plate 31 to make the battery module disengage from the push rod 7 of the first push plate 31.
[0081] 5. After the battery module disengages from the push rod 7 of the first push plate 31, the servo motor 41 drives the annular pull tab 57 to the claw 56, the pull tab cylinder 57 drives the claw 56, so that the pull rod anti - detachment ring 54 on the pull rod 51 moves towards the first channel - shaped bracket 52 side, and the end of the pull rod 51 disengages from the through - hole on the second push plate 35. The second push plate 35 that is released from the restriction of the pull rod 51 drops to the load - bearing wheel set 21; after the second push plate 35 is released from the restriction of the pull rod 51, the pull tab cylinder 57 drives the claw 56 to reset, and the annular pull tab 57 disengages from the acting force of the claw 56. This step can also directly manually pull the annular pull tab 57 to make the second push plate 35 disengage from the restriction of the pull rod 51 and drop to the load - bearing wheel set 21.
[0082] 6. After the second push plate 35 drops to the load-bearing wheel set 21 and the pull claw 56 resets, the servo motor 41 drives the second push plate 35 to move forward, and completely pushes the battery module into the battery cabinet. Before the second push plate 35 pushes the battery module, the push rod 7 on the second push plate 35 can be connected to the battery module first.
[0083] In this embodiment, the first push plate and the second push plate can push and pull the battery module twice, completely pushing the battery module into or out of the battery cabinet, improving the installation efficiency of the battery module.
[0084] When the battery module of the present invention is not aligned with the battery module grid of the battery cabinet, it can adjust the traveling path of the battery module, avoid moving the forklift, and improve the installation accuracy and efficiency of the battery module.
[0085] The above embodiments do not limit the present invention in any way. All technical solutions obtained by means of equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
