Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery transportation equipment, and particularly relates to a power battery storage device. Background Art

[0002] A power battery is a power source that provides power for tools, mostly referring to a storage battery that provides power for electric vehicles, electric trains, electric bicycles, and golf carts. After the power battery is prepared, it needs to be transferred and stored, waiting for assembly and use. The existing storage devices are mainly multi-layer steel shelf trolleys with a frame structure, and the power batteries can be placed layer by layer on the load-bearing plates of the trolleys for storage.

[0003] For the existing power battery storage devices, most of them transfer the entire trolley to realize the transfer of multiple power battery monomers inside it. During the transportation process, if it encounters a transfer environment with a certain slope, collisions are likely to occur between multiple power battery monomers, and they may fall outside the trolley, resulting in wear of the power batteries. If a stop structure that blocks the sliding of the power battery monomers and clamps the power battery monomers is adopted inside the trolley, during the process of storing and extracting the power battery monomers, a single stop structure is not convenient for adjusting the position, resulting in greater difficulty and longer time consumption in the process of storing and extracting power battery monomers at different positions. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present application provides a power battery storage device.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present application provides the following technical solution: A power battery storage device includes a plurality of vertical beams arranged vertically. The top and bottom of the vertical beams are connected by a top beam, and rollers are installed at the connection between the bottom of the vertical beam and the top beam to form a movable storage frame. A plurality of bearing members are detachably installed from top to bottom on the storage frame formed by the vertical beams and the top beam, and the bearing members can adjust and stop the forward and backward sliding movements of the power battery monomers.

[0006] A plurality of partition members are horizontally arranged above the bearing members. When a plurality of the power battery monomers are placed on the bearing members, as the bearing members are adjusted, the partition members abut against the opposite sides of two adjacent power battery monomers in the horizontal position to stop the lateral sliding of the power battery monomers.

[0007] Further, the carrier includes a plurality of plates detachably mounted on the vertical beam. A plurality of limiting tubes are embedded on the surfaces of the plates. Channels are formed at both the front and rear ends of the limiting tube wall. A first blocking arm and a second blocking arm are symmetrically arranged inside the channel. The bottom ends of the first blocking arm and the second blocking arm extend in an arc shape into the inner cavity of the limiting tube. Guide seats are fixed at both the front and rear positions in the inner cavity of the limiting tube. The bottom ends of the first blocking arm and the second blocking arm are connected to the side surfaces of the guide seats through return springs. When the first blocking arm and the second blocking arm slide along the arc-shaped wall surface of the inner tube wall of the limiting tube to the front and rear sides of the power battery cell, the return springs are squeezed by the bottom ends of the first blocking arm and the second blocking arm and are in a contracted state.

[0008] Further, a groove is formed at the top of the guide seat. A liftable locking block is arranged inside the groove. When the locking block slides upward, it squeezes the first blocking arm and the second blocking arm to slide. A rotatable limiting rod penetrates through the locking block. The rod part of the limiting rod located inside the groove extends to form a flange with a certain width, and the bottom of the limiting rod penetrates through the guide seat and the limiting tube to form a handle structure.

[0009] Further, receiving spaces are formed on the opposite sides of the first blocking arm and the second blocking arm. A first linkage arm and a second linkage arm are respectively connected inside the adjacent two receiving spaces through a rotating shaft. The top ends of the first linkage arm and the second linkage arm are connected through a rotating shaft. When the first blocking arm and the second blocking arm slide to the front and rear sides of the power battery cell, the feet of the first linkage arm and the second linkage arm unfold to form an inverted V-shaped structure.

[0010] Positioning collar rings are fixed on the side surfaces of the first linkage arm and the second linkage arm. An extension rod is detachably connected to the positioning collar ring. An abutting block is formed by extending the surface of the extension rod. When the first linkage arm and the second linkage arm are stretched to the maximum extent, the abutting block is parallel to the plate.

[0011] Further, the partition member includes a first inclined plate and a second inclined plate that can abut against the surface of the power battery cell. The tops of the first inclined plate and the second inclined plate are connected to a support through a rotating shaft. The support located at the uppermost part is installed on the top beam through a rod body, and the remaining supports are all fixed on the limiting tube above them. When the first linkage arm and the second linkage arm are stretched to the maximum extent, the tops of the left and right abutting blocks respectively abut against the surfaces of the first inclined plate and the second inclined plate.

[0012] Further, rectangular channels for allowing air flow to pass through are formed on the surfaces of the first inclined plate and the second inclined plate.

[0013] Further, one end of the locking block close to the opening of the limiting tube extends to form a convex block, and the convex block is located outside the limiting tube.

[0014] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0015] The structure of the present invention is reasonable. By providing a bearing member, it can prevent the power battery monomer from falling and being damaged during the movement and transfer of the entire storage device. It also has the advantage of being adjustable, facilitating the rapid storage and accommodation of the power battery monomer. At the same time, a partition member that can move along with the adjustment of the bearing member is provided. The partition member can clamp the power battery monomer during the process of moving and unfolding along with the bearing member. On the premise of preventing the power battery monomer from moving horizontally and sliding and maintaining a certain gap, the partition member that can adjust its position along with the movement of the bearing member can facilitate the access to the power battery monomer at a specified position, effectively avoiding the phenomenon that multiple power battery monomers cannot be extracted due to being tightly stacked. During the process of taking the power battery monomer at a specified position, it does not affect the power battery monomers at other positions. Description of the Drawings

[0026] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention

[0027] Embodiment 1: Refer to Figures 1-4 A power battery storage device shown, including a plurality of vertically arranged vertical beams 1, the top and bottom of the vertical beams 1 are connected by a top beam 2, and rollers 11 are installed at the connection between the bottom of the vertical beam 1 and the top beam 2 to form a movable storage frame. A plurality of bearing members 3 are detachably installed from top to bottom in the storage frame formed by the vertical beams 1 and the top beam 2, and the bearing members 3 can adjust and stop the forward and backward sliding movements of the single power battery cells 4

[0028] A plurality of partition members 5 are horizontally arranged above the bearing members 3. After a plurality of single power battery cells 4 are stored in the device, the single power battery cells 4 in the same row are attached to each other from front to back. A partition member 5 is provided between the single power battery cells 4 adjacent to the left and right of the bearing member 3. As the bearing member 3 is adjusted, the partition member 5 abuts against the opposite sides of two adjacent single power battery cells 4 in the horizontal position. The partition member 5 can clamp the single power battery cells 4 during the process of the bearing member 3 being unfolded, and stop the lateral sliding of the single power battery cells 4

[0029] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the bearing member 3 includes a plurality of plate bodies 31 detachably installed on the vertical beam 1. A plurality of limiting tubes 32 are embedded on the surfaces of the plate bodies 31. Channels are opened at both the front and rear ends of the tube walls of the limiting tubes 32. A first blocking arm 33 and a second blocking arm 34 are symmetrically arranged inside the channels. The first blocking arm 33 and the second blocking arm 34 extend to the front and rear of the single power battery cell 4. During the process of transferring the entire power battery storage device and the single power battery cells 4 stored therein, the first blocking arm 33 and the second blocking arm 34 can effectively prevent the single power battery cells 4 from sliding and falling

[0030] The bottom ends of the first blocking arm 33 and the second blocking arm 34 extend in an arc shape into the inner cavity of the limiting tube 32. Guide seats 35 are fixed at the front and rear positions of the inner cavity of the limiting tube 32. The bottom ends of the first blocking arm 33 and the second blocking arm 34 are connected to the sides of the guide seats 35 through return springs 36. When the first blocking arm 33 and the second blocking arm 34 slide along the arc-shaped wall surface of the inner tube wall of the limiting tube 32 to the front and rear sides of the power battery cell 4, the return springs 36 are squeezed by the bottom ends of the first blocking arm 33 and the second blocking arm 34 and are in a contracted state. When there is no need to block the power battery cell 4, the return springs 36 return to their original positions, and the first blocking arm 33 and the second blocking arm 34 slide to the center of the channel.

[0031] By providing the bearing member 3, it is possible to prevent the power battery cell 4 from falling and being damaged during the movement and transfer of the entire storage device. At the same time, it also has the advantage of being adjustable. While comprehensively blocking the power battery cell 4 at different points in the storage space, the state of the bearing member 3 can also be adjusted to facilitate the quick storage and accommodation of the power battery cell 4, and it can also meet the requirement of facilitating the access to the power battery cell 4 at different points.

[0032] As Figure 3 、 Figure 4 shown, a groove is formed at the top of the guide seat 35, and a liftable locking block 37 is arranged inside the groove. When the locking block 37 slides upward, it squeezes the first blocking arm 33 and the second blocking arm 34 to slide. A rotatable limiting rod 38 is arranged through the locking block 37, which can ensure the linearity of the locking block 37 during the upward sliding process.

[0033] The rod body part of the limiting rod 38 located inside the groove extends to form a flange with a certain width, and the bottom of the limiting rod 38 passes through the guide seat 35 and the limiting tube 32 to form a handle structure. After the locking block 37 slides upward, by controlling the rotation of the handle structure, the flange part of the locking block 37 can be rotated to adjust the position and abut against the lower part of the locking block 37. Further, it can prevent the locking block 37 from falling, ensuring the stability of the first blocking arm 33 and the second blocking arm 34 that are squeezed to the front and rear sides of the power battery cell 4 by it. It is worth mentioning that the friction between the limiting rod 38 and the guide seat 35 and the limiting tube 32 is relatively large. Therefore, the limiting rod 38 is not easily offset and rotated under non-artificial control.

[0034] As Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, receiving spaces are provided on the opposite sides of the first blocking arm 33 and the second blocking arm 34. The inner sides of two adjacent receiving spaces are respectively connected by a rotating shaft to a first linkage arm 6 and a second linkage arm 7. The tops of the first linkage arm 6 and the second linkage arm 7 are connected by a rotating shaft. When the first blocking arm 33 and the second blocking arm 34 slide to the front and rear sides of the power battery cell 4, since the first blocking arm 33 and the second blocking arm 34 slide along the arc-shaped wall surface of the limiting tube 32, the distance between the two gradually increases. The rotating shaft in the receiving space can stretch the feet of the first linkage arm 6 and the second linkage arm 7 to expand, forming an inverted V-shaped structure.

[0035] Positioning collar rings 8 are fixedly provided on the sides of the first linkage arm 6 and the second linkage arm 7. An extension rod 9 is detachably connected to the positioning collar ring 8. An abutting block 10 is formed by extending the surface of the extension rod 9. When the first linkage arm 6 and the second linkage arm 7 are stretched to the maximum extent, the abutting block 10 is parallel to the plate body 31, and can support the partition member 5 to expand, and has a guiding effect on the partition member 5. Therefore, while adjusting the carrier 3 to stop the forward and backward sliding movement of the power battery cell 4, the partition member 5 can be guided to clamp the power battery cell 4 and stop the lateral sliding of the power battery cell 4.

[0036] Embodiment 2: As Figures 5-8 shown, the partition member 5 includes a first inclined plate 51 and a second inclined plate 52 that can abut against the surface of the power battery cell 4, which can make there be a certain gap between the power battery cells 4 adjacent in the lateral position, and avoid the phenomenon that multiple power battery cells 4 in the lateral position are closely attached. The tops of the first inclined plate 51 and the second inclined plate 52 are connected by a rotating shaft to a support 53. The support 53 located at the uppermost part is installed on the top beam 2 through a rod, and the remaining supports 53 are all fixed on the limiting tube 32 above it.

[0037] When the first linkage arm 6 and the second linkage arm 7 are stretched to the maximum extent as the first blocking arm 33 and the second blocking arm 34 slide, the tops of the left and right abutting blocks 10 respectively abut against the surfaces of the first inclined plate 51 and the second inclined plate 52. The first inclined plate 51 and the second inclined plate 52 have a clamping effect on the power battery cell 4, effectively preventing the power battery cell 4 from sliding laterally.

[0038] At the same time, if a certain power battery cell 4 needs to be taken, only the carrier 3 below it needs to be adjusted, and the first blocking arm 33 and the second blocking arm 34 retract to their original positions, releasing the block on the front and rear positions of the power battery cell 4. Further, the first linkage arm 6 and the second linkage arm 7 are squeezed into the receiving space, and the left and right abutting blocks 10 are released from abutting against the first inclined plate 51 and the second inclined plate 52, and the first inclined plate 51 and the second inclined plate 52 then release the clamping of the power battery cell 4, so as to facilitate taking the power battery cell 4 at the specified position.

[0039] Through the adjustable separator 5, on the premise of keeping a certain gap between the power battery cells 4, it is convenient to access the power battery cells 4 at a specified position, effectively avoiding the phenomenon that the power battery cells 4 cannot be extracted due to being closely stacked, and does not affect the power battery cells 4 at other positions during the process of taking the power battery cells 4 at the specified position.

[0040] As Figure 5 、 Figure 6 shown, rectangular channels for accommodating the flow of air are formed on the surfaces of the first inclined plate 51 and the second inclined plate 52. The purpose of setting the rectangular channels is to enable the power battery cells 4 to be fully in contact with the air flow, ensuring the heat dissipation effect of the power battery cells 4 when the power battery cells 4 are stored in the device for a long time.

[0041] As Figure 4 、 Figure 5 shown, convex blocks are formed at one ends of the locking blocks 37 close to the openings of the limiting tubes 32, and the convex blocks are located outside the limiting tubes 32. The purpose is to facilitate the manual control of the lifting and lowering movements of the locking blocks 37, having the advantage of portable operation.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
