[0031] like Figures 4-6 As shown, the transfer machine assembly 2 includes a transfer frame 2.1. On one side of the transfer frame 2.1, two transfer drive wheels 2.3 and 2.16 are installed. On the other side of the transfer frame 2.1, two transfer drive wheels 2.15 and 2.17 are installed. A transfer motor 2.4 is installed between the first transfer drive wheels 2.3 and the second transfer drive wheels 2.15. The output shaft of the transfer motor 2.4 is connected to the first transfer drive wheels 2.3 and the second transfer drive wheels 2.15 via a universal joint 2.5. A transfer guide wheel assembly is installed on the transfer frame 2.1, consisting of transfer guide wheels 2.6, which are respectively installed on both sides of the second transfer drive wheels 2.15 and the second transfer drive wheels 2.17.

[0032] The first moving drive wheel 2.3, the first moving driven wheel 2.16, the second moving drive wheel 2.15, and the second moving driven wheel 2.17 are located at the top of the moving track 1. The moving guide wheel 2.6 abuts against the side of the moving track 1 to prevent the moving frame 2.1 from sliding off the moving track 1.

[0034] Lifting drive shaft 2.2.3 is rotatably mounted in the transfer frame 2.1 via bearings 2.2.4 and 2.2.6, and lifting drive shaft 2.2.8 is rotatably mounted in the transfer frame 2.1 via bearings 2.2.9 and 2.2.11. The output shaft of lifting motor 2.2.1 is connected to lifting drive shaft 2.2.3 and lifting drive shaft 2.2.8 at both ends via roller chain couplings 2.2.2 and 2.2.7, respectively.

[0035] The guide roller 2.6 is connected to the transfer frame 2.1 by bolts. The first belt fixing roller 2.2.12 and the second belt fixing roller 2.2.13 are connected to the transfer frame 2.1 by bolts.

[0036] like Figures 8-10 As shown, the lifting carriage 10 includes a carriage frame 10.1. A first carriage belt guide pulley 10.3, a second carriage belt guide pulley 10.4, a third carriage belt guide pulley 10.5, and a fourth carriage belt guide pulley 10.6 are evenly distributed on the top of the carriage frame 10.1. Carriage guide pulleys 10.2 are installed around the carriage frame 10.1 and contact the fixed guide rail 7. The fixed guide rail 7 surrounds the carriage frame 10.1.

[0037] One lifting belt 9 is fixed at both ends to the first lifting roller 2.2.5 and the first fixed roller 2.2.12 respectively, and passes downwards through the first slide belt guide roller 10.3 and the third slide belt guide roller 10.5; another lifting belt 9 is fixed at both ends to the second lifting roller 2.2.10 and the second fixed roller 2.2.13 respectively, and passes downwards through the second slide belt guide roller 10.4 and the fourth slide belt guide roller 10.6; thus completing the connection between the transfer machine assembly 2 and the lifting slide 10.

[0038] A battery support mechanism is provided at the lower part of the carriage frame 10.1. The battery support mechanism includes a swing arm motor 10.8. The lower two sides of the carriage frame 10.1 are connected to the carriage crossbeam 10.15. The swing arm motor 10.8 is installed in the middle of the carriage crossbeam 10.15. Swing arm shafts 10.12 are provided on both sides of the swing arm motor 10.8. The middle part of the swing arm shaft 10.12 is rotatably connected to the carriage crossbeam 10.15 through bearings and retaining rings. The upper and lower ends of the swing arm shaft 10.12 are fixedly connected to the driven swing arm flange 10.13 and the battery support plate 10.14 by bolts. The output shaft of the swing arm motor 10.8 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the drive swing arm flange 10.16 through an end plate and bolts. The outer end of the drive swing arm flange 10.16 is hinged to one end of the swing arm connecting rod 10.9, and the other end of the swing arm connecting rod 10.9 is hinged to the driven swing arm flange 10.13.

[0039] When loading the battery, the operator places the battery into the carriage frame 10.1 from the bottom. The swing arm motor 10.8 drives the battery support plate 10.14 to rotate, and the battery support plate 10.14 rotates to the bottom of the battery, supporting it, as shown in the figure. When unloading the battery, the swing arm motor 10.8 drives the battery support plate 10.14 to rotate out of the bottom of the battery, and the battery is removed from the support of the battery support plate 10.14.

[0040] To prevent the drive arm flange 10.16 from rotating excessively, which would cause the battery support plate 10.14 to fail to support the battery, a swing arm limiter 10.10 is provided on both sides of the swing arm flange 10.16. The swing arm limiters 10.10 are installed on both sides of the carriage frame 10.1.

[0041] To prevent safety accidents during maintenance of the lifting carriage 10, a pin beam 2.8 is installed at the bottom of the transfer frame 2.1. A pin seat 2.9 is screwed to the pin beam 2.8, and a maintenance pin 2.10 is provided in the pin seat 2.9. A pin hole 10.17 is provided on the carriage frame 10.1.

[0042] When maintaining the lifting carriage 10, raise the carriage frame 10.1 to the bottom of the transfer frame 2.1 and insert the maintenance pin 2.10 into the pin hole 10.17 on the carriage frame 10.1 to prevent the lifting carriage 10 from falling.

[0043] The bottom of the transfer frame 2.1 is bolted with a lifting limiter 2.7 to prevent damage to the lifting carriage 10 in case of lifting failure.

[0044] In order to monitor the distance between the transfer machine assembly 2 and the lifting carriage 10, a laser rangefinder 2.12 is installed on the transfer frame 2.1, and a laser rangefinder signaling plate 10.7 is installed on the carriage frame 10.1, with the laser rangefinder 2.12 facing the laser rangefinder signaling plate 10.7.

[0045] The working process of this invention is as follows:

[0046] The transfer machine assembly 2 drives the lifting carriage 10 to move to the lower part of the fixed guide rail 7 via the lifting belt 9. The operator puts the battery into the carriage frame 10.1 from the bottom, and the battery support mechanism fixes the battery. Then, the transfer machine assembly 2 drives the lifting carriage 10 to rise along the fixed guide rail 7 via the lifting belt 9 until the lifting carriage 10 enters the movable guide rail 8. After the transfer machine assembly 2 moves horizontally a certain distance with the battery, it transfers the battery to the walkway 6.

[0047] It is understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary implementations used to illustrate the principles of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
