[0002] Today, with the increasingly prominent environmental problems, the rational use of new energy is an important way to solve environmental problems. At present, robots powered by batteries are becoming more and more popular. Using robots to replace traditional manual labor can improve work efficiency on the one hand; on the other hand, the consumption of fossil fuels can be reduced by using new energy batteries. However, due to the huge demand, large differences in robot models and load ratings, etc., it is difficult to design the fixation and removal of batteries in the battery compartments of different robots.

[0003] How to solve the above problems is what those skilled in the art need to consider. Summary of the Invention

[0054] As Figure 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, an embodiment of the present application provides a limit assembly 1, including:

[0055] A first connecting member 11, including a first main body portion 110 and two first connecting units 111, the two first connecting units 111 are spaced apart and connected to the first main body portion 110.

[0056] A transmission rod 12, including a spaced first end portion 121 and a second end portion 122, the first end portion 121 penetrates through one first connecting unit 111, and the second end portion 122 penetrates through the other first connecting unit 111.

[0057] A second connecting member 13, having two spaced transposition buckles 130, each transposition buckle 130 including a spaced first limiting groove 131 and a second limiting groove 132, the first end portion 121 extends into one transposition buckle 130, and the second end portion 122 extends into the other transposition buckle 130.

[0058] The limit assembly 1 includes a stop state and a non-stop state. The stop state is a state in which the first end portion 121 and the second end portion 122 are respectively disposed in two first limiting grooves 131 and the first main body portion 110 is located at the first position. The non-stop state is a state in which the first end portion 121 and the second end portion 122 are respectively disposed in two second limiting grooves 132 and the first main body portion 110 is located at the second position.

[0059] Further, the first connecting member 11 is movably connected to the second connecting member 13 through a transmission rod 12. The first end portion 121 and the second end portion 122 are respectively disposed in two first limiting grooves 131, and the first main body portion 110 is located at the first position, so that the first main body portion 110 can be locked; the first end portion 121 and the second end portion 122 are respectively disposed in two second limiting grooves 132, and the first main body portion 110 is located at the second position, so that the first main body portion 110 is unlocked.

[0060] By changing the position of the transmission rod 12, the change of the position of the first main body portion 110 is realized. During the connection process of the limiting assembly 1, the first main body portion 110 can be disposed on one side of the energy storage bin 100 of the robot 10 without invading the main structure of the energy storage bin 100, improving the applicability of the limiting assembly 1.
