[0046] A linear electric cylinder 100, wherein the linear electric cylinder 100 is fixedly mounted on a base plate 500;

[0047] A slide plate 200, to which the output end of the linear electric cylinder 100 is connected;

[0048] A plurality of toggle mechanisms 300, wherein a plurality of toggle mechanisms 300 are installed on the slide plate 200;

[0049] A plurality of rotating mechanisms 400 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of the toggle mechanisms 300.

The invention can be used for the rotation drive of the rotating connection mechanism between the battery and the vehicle body in the automatic battery replacement system of new energy electric vehicles, and may also be used in the occasions where the automated assembly line needs to rotate multiple rotating mechanisms at the same time and has high requirements for the rotation position accuracy. It can realize the simultaneous driving of multiple sets of rotating mechanisms by a single power source, and the rotation angles of each set of mechanisms do not have to be completely consistent according to the needs of use, and has the characteristics of high repeatability positioning accuracy, stability and reliability, and low cost; a single linear electric cylinder is used as the power source to simultaneously drive the rotation of multiple rotating mechanisms; an elastic baffle is set between the toggle mechanism and the rotating mechanism to prevent the driving system from continuing to operate after the rotating mechanism is in place to cause structural damage; each rotating mechanism achieves rotation repetition accuracy through an eccentric locating pin, which reduces the requirements for the stopping accuracy of the drive system; the rotation angle of the rotating mechanism can be fine-tuned by adjusting the installation angle of the eccentric locating pin after loosening the fastening bolt, which can eliminate the precision deviation caused by manufacturing and assembly and achieve high rotation position accuracy.

[0051] Alternatively, if Figure 2 As shown, the toggle mechanism 300 also includes:

[0053] The elastic baffle 320 includes a fixed portion 321 and an elastic portion 322. The fixed portion 321 is connected to the elastic portion 322. The fixed portion 321 is connected to the skateboard 200. The elastic portion 322 has a first elastic piece 3221 and a second elastic piece 3222. The first elastic piece 3221 and the second elastic piece 3222 are respectively attached to the two side surfaces of the lever 310.

[0054] In the above embodiment, the toggle mechanism is hinged to the slide plate 200 and the rotating mechanism 400 respectively through the toggle rod, one end of the spring baffle 320 is fixed on the slide plate, and the first spring piece 3221 and the second spring piece 3222 at the other end are respectively fitted with the two side surfaces of the toggle rod, and the spring baffle is used to prevent the driving system from continuing to operate after the rotating mechanism is in place and causing structural damage; when the rocker arm of the rotating shaft contacts the eccentric positioning pin, the rotating shaft cannot continue to rotate, and thereafter the toggle mechanism and the slide plate continue to move a certain distance driven by the linear electric cylinder and then stop, the spring baffle is elastically deformed, and the toggle mechanism rotates, which can ensure that the mechanism is not damaged. At the same time, due to the elastic force of the elastic baffle, the rocker arm of the rotating shaft is always in contact with the eccentric positioning pin.

[0055] Alternatively, if Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the rotating mechanism 400 also includes a base 420, which is fixed on the substrate 500. The base 420 is provided with a receiving cavity, and the rotating shaft 410 is arranged in the receiving cavity; the rotating shaft 410 is provided with a rocker arm 412, and the second lever end 312 is hinged to the rocker arm 412.

[0056] Alternatively, if Figure 3 As shown, the base 420 also includes two ears 421 and two eccentric positioning pins 422.

[0059] In the above embodiment, when the rocker arm of the rotating shaft contacts the eccentric positioning pin or the eccentric positioning pin, the rotating shaft cannot continue to rotate. After that, the toggle mechanism and the slide plate continue to move a certain distance driven by the linear electric cylinder and then stop. The spring baffle plate undergoes elastic deformation, and the toggle mechanism rotates, which can ensure that the mechanism is not damaged. At the same time, due to the elastic force of the elastic baffle plate, the rocker arm of the rotating shaft is always in contact with the eccentric positioning pin. Figure 6 As shown, when the rotating shaft needs to rotate in the opposite direction, the linear electric cylinder moves in the opposite direction, and finally limits the rotation angle of the rotating shaft through the eccentric locating pin at the other end. In this way, the rotation angle of the rotating shaft is limited by the eccentric locating pin, and the eccentric locating pin is fixed on the base, so the optional repeat positioning accuracy of the rotating shaft can be ensured. The bottom of the eccentric locating pin slides with the base, and the corresponding fastening bolts are loosened or rotated. The stop position of the rocker arm of the rotating shaft can be slightly adjusted, thereby achieving fine adjustment of the rotation angle of the rotating mechanism to ensure the accuracy of the rotation angle.
