Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery transport device technology, and in particular to a transfer bracket for power batteries. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, new energy buses have experienced rapid growth in recent years. During the production process, power batteries often need to be transferred between multiple stages. Currently, trays are commonly used to hold and transport power batteries. However, while most trays have a layered structure, each layer typically uses a simple method of directly installing a support plate. This means that before transferring a power battery, workers must first install the support plate, place the battery in it, and then install the next support plate before placing another battery. This process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in low efficiency in power battery transfer. Summary of the Invention

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] This application provides a transfer bracket for power batteries, which can solve the problem of low transfer efficiency caused by using existing brackets when transferring power batteries in related technologies.

[0031] See Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, this application embodiment provides a power battery transfer bracket, including a bracket body 1 and multiple support plates 6. The bracket body 1 includes two vertical supports that are spaced apart from each other. The multiple support plates 6 are arranged in sequence at intervals along the height direction of the vertical supports. A rotating component 5 that is rotatably connected to the support plate 6 is provided on one side of the vertical support, and a support component 3 that vertically supports the support plate 6 is provided on the other side of the vertical support.

[0032] In use, a rotating component 5 is provided on one side of the vertical support, allowing the support plate 6 to rotate on the vertical support. A support component 3 is provided on the other side of the vertical support to support and position the support plate 6, ensuring its stable placement. When placing the power battery, simply rotate the upper support plate 6 to place it on the lower support plate 6. To remove the power battery from the bracket, first remove the power battery from the upper support plate 6, then rotate the upper support plate 6 to remove the power battery from the lower support plate 6. This process, involving only rotating the support plate 6, allows for convenient placement and removal of the power battery, improving the efficiency of power battery transport.

[0033] Currently, common layered racks are often used to transport power batteries. Although common racks also have placement plates for power batteries, in most cases, the placement plates need to be disassembled and installed, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. This solution improves the efficiency of transport by directly rotating the placement plate 6, which facilitates the placement and removal of power batteries.

[0034] In some alternative embodiments, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a transfer bracket for a power battery. The rotating assembly 5 of the transfer bracket includes a rotating shaft 51 and a bushing 52 located outside the rotating shaft 51. The rotation angle between the rotating shaft 51 and the bushing 52 is greater than 90°, and a limiting mechanism is provided on the bushing 52 to limit the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 51. In actual use, the limiting mechanism includes an abutment provided on the bushing 52, and a protrusion on the rotating shaft 51 that matches the abutment.

[0035] The rotation angle between the rotating shaft 51 and the bushing 52 is greater than 90°, meaning the rotation angle of the rotating assembly 5 is greater than 90°. This prevents the supporting plate 6 from tipping over when it rotates to one side of the bracket body 1. Furthermore, a contact platform is provided on the bushing 52, and a protrusion matching the contact platform is provided on the rotating shaft 51. This limits the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 51, preventing inconvenience when rotating the supporting plate 6 to a horizontal position due to excessive rotation angle. In use, the rotation angle can be set to 95°, which prevents both tipping of the supporting plate 6 and excessive rotation angle of the rotating shaft 51, thus avoiding inconvenience during use.

[0036] In some alternative embodiments, see Figure 1 As shown, this application embodiment provides a transfer bracket for a power battery. The dimensions of each support plate 6 in the depth direction increase sequentially from bottom to top. One end of the bracket body 1 is provided with an auxiliary frame 7 for connecting the support plate 6 protruding from the bracket body 1. The support plate 6 protruding from the bracket body 1 is rotatably connected to the auxiliary frame 7 through a rotating assembly 5.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, in some applications, when a total of four support plates 6 are provided, the dimensions of each support plate 6 in the depth direction increase sequentially from bottom to top, that is, the dimension of the uppermost support plate 6 in the depth direction (i.e., Figure 1 The length of the middle support plate 6 is such that, in actual operation, construction workers will stand on... Figure 1 The operation is performed on the right side of the bracket body 1, so the length direction of the support plate 6 is described as the depth direction (which is the maximum). An auxiliary frame 7 is provided at one end of the bracket body 1 to connect the support plate 6 protruding from the bracket body 1. The auxiliary frame 7 extends outward from the bracket body 1 to connect the support plate 6 protruding from the bracket body 1. Figure 1 The two uppermost support plates 6 serve as supports and connections.

[0038] This design prevents the different support plates 6 from interfering with each other after rotation. For example... Figure 6 As shown, when each layer of the support plate 6 rotates, the support plates 6 will not affect each other, but will move closer together one by one to prevent affecting the use and avoid affecting the transfer efficiency of the power battery.

[0039] In practical use, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 The bottommost support plate 6 can be fixed to the bracket body 1. The second support plate 6 from the bottom can be rotated by the rotating component 5 set on the bracket body 1, because in actual use, this support plate 6 does not need to protrude from the bracket body 1.

[0040] In some use cases, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, each vertical support includes two vertically arranged vertical rods 11 and a connecting rod 12 connecting the two vertical rods 11. The support assembly 3 includes a locking seat 32 fixed to the connecting rod 12 and a latch 31 fixed to the bottom of the support plate 6. When the power battery needs to be removed and the support plate 6 is rotated from the horizontal position, the locking seat 32 can be released to limit the latch 31. After the power battery is placed, when the support plate 6 is rotated from one side of the bracket body 1 to the horizontal position, the latch 31 engages with the locking seat 32, thus completing the support and fixation of the support plate 6.

[0041] In some alternative embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment of the application provides a transfer bracket for a power battery, with an elastic shock absorber 2 provided on the connecting rod 12. The elastic shock absorber 2 includes a fixed support 22 and a bolt 21 disposed on the fixed support 22, with a soft pad on the top of the bolt 21. The bolt 21 is threadedly connected to the fixed support 22 and its height can be adjusted. The soft pad on the top of the bolt 21 provides shock absorption and buffering when the support plate 6 rotates from one side of the bracket body 1 to a horizontal position, reducing the impact on the support plate 6 and thus improving its service life.

[0042] In some alternative embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, this application embodiment provides a transfer bracket for a power battery. A limiting member 4 is provided on the vertical support to prevent the support plate 6 from tipping over. The limiting member 4 includes a spring pin 43, a limiting sleeve 42, and a handle 41 connected to the spring pin 43. The spring pin 43 is disposed inside the limiting sleeve 42, partially protruding from the limiting sleeve 42, and can slide within the limiting sleeve 42. The side of the spring pin 43 closest to the bracket body 1 has a beveled surface.

[0043] As the support plate 6 rotates from a horizontal position to one side of the bracket body 1, the spring pin 43 has a beveled surface on the side near the bracket body 1. Therefore, when the support plate 6 rotates, it can retract the spring pin 43 by contacting the beveled surface, without interfering with the rotation of the support plate 6. After the support plate 6 rotates from a horizontal position to one side of the bracket body 1, as... Figure 6 The spring pin 43 can stop and limit the support plate 6 to prevent it from tilting to one side of the bracket body 1. When the support plate 6 needs to be rotated from one side of the bracket body 1 to a horizontal position, the handle 41 is pulled, so that the spring pin 43 slides and retracts in the limiting sleeve 42, which can release the limitation on the support plate 6. It is reliable and convenient to use.
