The push rod 5 is arranged horizontally, with its middle part located in the accommodating cavity 101, and its two ends are slidably connected to the first slide groove 201, and can move along the first slide groove 201.

[0061] Preferably, a second slide groove 202 arranged along the front-to-back direction is provided on the side wall of the warehouse door 2, and the second slide groove 202 is arc-shaped, with high ends and a low middle part.

[0062] The pushing unit comprises: a moving rod 6, a supporting wheel 7, and a rope 8. The rope 8 can be a steel wire rope.

[0063] The moving rod 6 is slidably connected to the second slide groove 202; the support wheel 7 is arranged on the warehouse body, and the support wheel 7 is located in front of the push rod 5; one end of the rope 8 is connected to the push rod 5, and the other end passes through the support wheel 7 and is connected to the moving rod 6; the two side walls of the warehouse body are provided with second slide grooves 202. The moving rod 6 is arranged horizontally, and its two ends are slidably connected to the second slide grooves 202, and can move along the second slide grooves 202.

[0064] A pushing component drives the moving rod 6 to move.

[0065] Preferably, the pushing assembly includes: a movable rod 9 and a limiting plate 10.

[0066] The movable rod 9 can be rotatably connected relative to the output end of the power unit 3 along the front-rear direction;

[0067] The limit plate 10 is located at the output end of the power unit 3 and at the front side of the movable rod 9, and is used to prevent the movable rod 9 from rotating toward the front side; wherein,

[0068] When the moving rod 6 is located at two ends of the second sliding groove 202 , the moving rod 6 is located on the moving path of the movable rod 9 .

[0069] When the moving rod 6 is located in the middle of the second sliding groove 202 , there is a distance between the moving rod 6 and the movable rod 9 in the vertical direction.

[0070] like Figure 1 , 2 , 3, 7, the door 2 is in the closed state.

[0071] The power unit 3 is used to drive the door 2 to move backwards to open the opening 102 .

[0072] The power unit 3 drives the movable rod 9 to move backward. When the movable rod 9 contacts the moving rod 6, it drives the moving rod 6 to move backward. The moving rod 6 drives the push rod 5 to move forward through the rope 8. The push rod 5 pushes the battery D located in the accommodating cavity 101 out, allowing part or all of the battery D to extend out of the opening 102, making it convenient for users to take it.

[0075] Combination Figure 5 Since the second slide groove 202 is arc-shaped, as the moving rod 6 continues to move backward, the moving rod 6 also gradually moves downward. When the moving rod 6 moves to the middle of the second slide groove 202, the bottom end of the movable rod 9 is separated from the moving rod 6.

[0076] When the user puts a new battery D into the accommodating cavity 101 , as the user pushes the battery D deeper, the battery D pushes the push rod 5 backwards, and the push rod 5 drives the moving rod 6 forward through the rope 8 until the push rod 5 and the moving rod 6 are reset.

[0077] The power unit 3 drives the warehouse door 2 and the movable rod 9 to move forward, and the warehouse door 2 closes the opening 102 .

[0078] When the movable rod 9 moves to contact the moving rod 6, the movable rod 9 is located behind the moving rod 6. As the power unit 3 continuously drives the movable rod 9 forward, the movable rod 9 rotates and slides over the moving rod 6. When the movable rod 9 separates from the moving rod 6, the movable rod 9 is located in front of the moving rod 6. Under the action of gravity, the movable rod 9 is in a vertical state again. Figure 7 shown.

[0079] The limiting plate 10 is provided to prevent the movable rod 9 from rotating forward and to push the movable rod 6 to move backward.

[0080] Through the ingenious design of the movable rod 9 and the limit plate 10, this embodiment can not only move the movable rod 6 backward, but also separate from the movable rod 9 without affecting the forward movement of the movable rod 9 driven by the push rod 5. At the same time, the movable rod 9 can slide over the movable rod 6 to return to the initial state, waiting to drive the movable rod 6 to move backward next time.

[0081] This embodiment can effectively drive the door 2 to open, push out the battery D, put in the battery D, and close the door 2, and the structural design is ingenious.

[0082] A lock S may be provided on the door 2 to conveniently lock the battery D. When the battery D needs to be pushed out, the lock S is separated from the battery D.

[0083] Preferably, the support wheel 7 is provided with a groove 701 matched with the rope 8 to prevent the rope 8 from separating from the support wheel 7.

[0084] Preferably, both ends of the push rod 5 are provided with a blocking portion, and the blocking portion includes two baffles 11, and the two baffles 11 are installed on the push rod 5 and are located on both sides of the first slide groove 201. A blocking portion can also be provided on the moving rod 6 to prevent the push rod 5 and the moving rod 6 from being separated from the first slide groove 201 and the second slide groove 202.

[0085] Preferably, the assembly further comprises a guide rail 12 and a slider 13. The guide rail 12 is located in the accommodating cavity 101 and arranged in the front-to-back direction.
