[0060] like Figures 1 to 7 , Fig.11 , Fig. 20As shown, a power bank rental device 1 provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a host 200 and a charging bin body 300, the host 200 includes a power module 210, and the power module 210 is electrically connected to an external power supply (not shown) for converting the input voltage of the external power supply into a device voltage; the charging bin body 300 is detachably connected to the host 200, and the charging bin body 300 includes a plurality of charging bin modules 310, the plurality of charging bin modules 310 are independent of each other and are arranged in a stacked manner, wherein two adjacent charging bin modules 310 in the plurality of charging bin modules 310 are detachably connected; wherein each charging bin module 310 includes a power cord (not shown), and the plurality of power cords are electrically connected to the power module 210 in parallel so that the voltage value between the input voltage of each power cord and the device voltage is equal. It should be noted that, the number of built-in power banks 500 in each charging bin module 310 of the present application is 6. The power bank rental device 1 can select the number of charging bin modules 310 according to usage requirements and stack multiple charging bin modules 310, so that the number of built-in power banks 500 in the power bank rental device 1 can be 12, 18 or even other multiples of 6. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the number of built-in power banks 500 in each charging bin module 310 can also be 4, 8, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0061] It can be understood that the present application can realize the modular design of the power bank rental device 1, so that the charging bin module 310 can be produced and prepared separately, so that the power bank rental device 1 can select the number of charging bin modules 310 according to the use requirements, so that the management cost and cost of the power bank rental device 1 when facing different numbers of power banks 500 are required; at the same time, a power module 210 in the host 200 is used to convert the power supply voltage of multiple charging bin modules 310, and each charging bin module 310 can receive the device voltage converted by the power module 210 as the working voltage, so that the power module 210 can be omitted in each charging bin module 310, so that the production and preparation cost of the charging bin module 310 can be further reduced, and the charging bin module 310 does not need to consider the assembly space of the power module 210 when designing, so that the charging bin module 310 can be designed to be smaller. Here, the above-mentioned power module 210 can be specifically an adapter for converting voltage.

[0062] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Fig.11As shown, in one embodiment, the host 200 also includes a main control board 220, and the main control board 220 is electrically connected to the power module 210 and the power line, respectively, so that the power module 210 can provide the device voltage to the main control board 220; each charging bin module 310 also includes a slave control board 314 and a plurality of bin bodies 313, and one end of the power line away from the main control board 220 is electrically connected to the slave control board 314, so that the main control board 220 can provide the device voltage to the slave control board 314 through the power line; the plurality of bin bodies 313 are electrically connected to the slave control board 314 in parallel, wherein each bin body 313 is used to accommodate a power bank 500, respectively, so that the slave control board 314 can supply power to the power bank 500 located in the bin body 313. That is to say, the power bank rental device 1 of this embodiment has only one power module 210 to realize that the host 200 and multiple charging compartment modules 310 can all work under the device voltage, so that it is possible to avoid configuring a power module 210 for converting voltage in each charging compartment module 310, thereby reducing costs; moreover, the power bank rental device 1 can be disassembled from the charging compartment module 310 without cutting off the external power supply of the power bank rental device 1, which can not only prevent accidents caused by irregular disassembly operations when the staff disassembles the charging compartment module 310, but also enable the power bank rental device 1 to operate normally when the charging compartment module 310 is disassembled. Here, the main control board 220 and the power module 210 can be electrically connected by means of a quick-plug connector, and each power line can also be electrically connected to the main control board 220 and the corresponding slave control board 314 by means of a quick-plug connector.

[0063] like Fig. 20 As shown, in one embodiment, the power line for electrically connecting the slave control board 314 and the main control board 220 in each charging compartment module 310 includes a power transmission line and a signal transmission line. The main control board 220 can use the power transmission line to power the slave control board 314, and the signal transmission line is used to transmit signals between the slave control board 314 and the main control board 220, so as to achieve the purpose of the main control board 220 controlling the slave control board 314 and controlling the operation of the charging compartment module 310. It should be noted that the working principle of how the main control board 220 controls the operation of the slave control board 314 through the signal transmission line can adopt the existing conventional method, which will not be elaborated here.

[0064] Exemplarily, when the number of charging bin modules 310 is one, the main control board 220 in the host 200 can supply power to the slave control board 314 in the charging bin module 310 and control the operation of the slave control board 314; when the number of charging bin modules 310 is two, three, or even more, the main control board 220 in the host 200 can supply power to the slave control boards 314 in the charging bin modules 310 respectively and control the operation of the slave control boards 314.

[0065] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, a snap-fitting portion is formed between two adjacent charging compartment modules 310, and the two adjacent charging compartment modules 310 can be snap-fitted through the snap-fitting portion; wherein the snap-fitting portion is arranged inside the charging compartment body 300. It can be understood that since the snap-fitting portion when snapping between two adjacent charging compartment modules 310 is located inside the charging compartment body 300, the snap-fitting portion can be hidden and the overall aesthetics of the charging compartment body 300 can be ensured. Here, the snap-fitting portion includes a hook 3122 and a slot plate 3112, and the hook 3122 and the slot plate 3112 are snap-fitted to achieve an assembly connection between two adjacent charging compartment modules 310.

[0066] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, there are four snap-fitting parts, which are arranged on two opposite sides of the charging bin body 300 to improve the stability of two adjacent charging bin modules 310 when snapped together.

[0067] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, one of the two adjacent charging compartment modules 310 includes a first shell 311, and the other includes a second shell 312. The first shell 311 is provided with an extension protrusion 3111, and the extension protrusion 3111 can be plugged and matched with the second shell 312, so that the first shell 311 and the second shell 312 can be snapped and matched. It can be understood that the plug-in fit between the extension protrusion 3111 on the first shell 311 and the second shell 312 can be used to guide the assembly between the first shell 311 and the second shell 312, so as to ensure that the first shell 311 and the second shell 312 can be snapped and matched during the assembly process. Here, a card slot plate 3112 is formed at the upper end of the first shell 311, and a hook 3122 is formed at the lower end of the second shell 312.

[0068] It should be noted that in order to satisfy the requirement of stacking 3, 4 or even more charging bin modules 310, each charging bin module 310 may be formed with a slot plate 3112 at the upper end in the height direction of the charging bin module 310 and a hook 3122 at the lower end.

[0069] like Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, in one embodiment, a limiting rib 3121 is provided in the second shell 312; when the extension protrusion 3111 is plugged into the second shell 312, the limiting rib 3121 can abut against the extension protrusion 3111, and is used to limit the assembly of the first shell 311 and the second shell 312. It can be understood that the structural setting of the limiting rib 3121 can ensure the accuracy of the position of the second shell 312 when it is assembled on the first shell 311; at the same time, since the limiting rib 3121 can abut against the extension protrusion 3111, the first shell 311 can also support the second shell 312 through the limiting rib 3121, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the first shell 311 when supporting the second shell 312. Here, a plurality of limiting ribs 3121 are formed on the inner side wall of the second shell 312, and each limiting rib 3121 can abut against the extension protrusion 3111.

[0070] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, a guide matching portion 3113 is formed on the extension protrusion 3111 of the first housing 311, and the guide matching portion 3113 is used to guide the plug-in matching between the extension protrusion 3111 and the second housing 312. This facilitates the plug-in matching of the first housing 311 and the second housing 312, and ensures that the first housing 311 and the second housing 312 can be snap-fitted after being assembled.

[0071] like Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown, in one embodiment, a step surface 3131 is formed on the warehouse body 313; and the power bank 500 can fit on the step surface 3131 to move relative to the warehouse body 313; a plurality of entrances and exits 3115 are provided on the first shell 311, and the plurality of entrances and exits 3115 correspond to the plurality of warehouse bodies 313 one by one, and the power bank 500 can extend from or enter the corresponding warehouse body 313 from the corresponding entrances and exits 3115; along the vertical direction in which the power bank 500 is inserted into the warehouse body 313, the step surface 3131 is arranged higher than or flush with the bottom surface 3116 of the entrance and exit 3115. Such an arrangement prevents interference between the wire harness (not shown) protruding from the power bank 500 and the first shell 311 when the power bank 500 extends from the warehouse body 313, so as to prevent the power bank 500 from being too short or stuck when extending from the warehouse body 313.

[0072] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the charging warehouse body 300 further includes a plurality of first connectors 320, and two adjacent charging warehouse modules 310 are detachably connected through the plurality of first connectors 320; wherein the plurality of first connectors 320 are arranged on two opposite sides of the charging warehouse body 300. It can be understood that, on the basis of the two adjacent charging warehouse modules 310 being snap-fitted by the snap-fitting parts, the two adjacent charging warehouse modules 310 are connected by the first connectors 320 arranged on two opposite sides of the charging warehouse body 300, so that the connection stability between the two adjacent charging warehouse modules 310 can be improved. Here, the number of the first connectors 320 is two; of course, in other embodiments, the number of the first connectors 320 can be configured to be four, six or even more.

[0073] Preferably, if Figure 6 As shown, a connection seat 3114 is formed on the first housing 311, and the first housing 311 and the second housing 312 can be screwed together by a first connection member 320 passing through the second housing 312 and the connection seat 3114, and the second housing 312 is pressed and limited to the first housing 311 by the first connection member 320, so as to realize the screw connection between the first housing 311 and the second housing 312. Here, the first connection member 320 can be set as a self-tapping screw, a bolt, etc.

[0074] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, a snap-fitting portion is formed between a charging compartment module 310 adjacent to the host 200 on the charging compartment body 300 and the host 200, and the charging compartment module 310 and the host 200 can be snap-fitted through the snap-fitting portion; wherein the snap-fitting portion is arranged inside the charging compartment module 310 and the host 200. In this way, the snap-fitting portion can be hidden and the overall aesthetics of the charging compartment body 300 can be ensured. It should be noted that how to specifically achieve snap-fitting between the host 200 and a charging compartment module 310 adjacent to the host 200 on the charging compartment body 300 can refer to the snap-fitting method between the two adjacent charging compartment modules 310 mentioned above, which will not be repeated here.

[0075] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the power bank rental device 1 further includes a base 400, which is disposed at the bottom of the charging compartment body 300 and is used to support the charging compartment body 300; wherein, a charging compartment module 310 adjacent to the base 400 on the charging compartment body 300 is detachably connected to the base 400. It should be noted that how to achieve a detachable connection between a charging compartment module 310 adjacent to the base 400 on the charging compartment body 300 and the base 400 can refer to the connection method between the two adjacent charging compartment modules 310 mentioned above, and will not be repeated here.

[0076] like Fig.10 , Fig.11 As shown, in one embodiment, a plurality of bins 313 are arranged in two rows, and each bin 313 in the two rows of bins 313 can accommodate a power bank 500; the power bank rental device 1 also includes a plurality of motor locks 100, which are sequentially arranged between the two rows of bins 313 and connected to the charging bin body 300, wherein each motor lock 100 can respectively control the locking / unlocking of two power banks 500 arranged side by side in the two rows of bins 313 in the corresponding bin 313. It can be understood that when the charging bin module 310 is working, one motor lock 100 can unlock / lock two power banks 500 arranged side by side in the two rows of bins in the charging bin module 310, so that the number of motor locks 100 required for the charging bin module 310 can be reduced, which can further reduce the overall production and preparation cost of the charging bin module 310, and on the other hand, can also reduce the overall volume of the charging bin module 310.

[0077] like Fig.10 As shown, in one embodiment, the motor lock 100 includes a shell 10, and the motor lock 100 uses the shell 10 as an installation base, and uses a bolt 600 passing through the shell 10 to be screwed to the charging bin body 300 to achieve an assembly connection between the motor lock 100 and the charging bin body 300.

It can be understood that the motor lock 100 controls the two locking elements 21 to alternately unlock by rotating the motor shaft 31 on the motor 30 in the forward and reverse directions, so that the motor lock 100 can achieve the control of unlocking / locking the two power banks 500 in the charging bin body 300 with one motor 30. Here, each locking element 21 can move between a locked position and an unlocked position, specifically, each locking element 21 can slide a preset stroke on the housing 10 toward the center line of the housing 10.

[0079] Specifically, Fig.12 As shown, the housing 10 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12, and the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 can be assembled and connected by a threaded connection between a connecting member 50 such as a self-tapping screw or a bolt passing through the first housing 11 and the second housing 12. Here, the locking element 21 also includes a sliding plate 213, and each locking element 21 can be slidably matched with the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 through the sliding plate 213, so as to realize the sliding assembly of each locking element 21 on the housing 10 and between the housing 10.

[0080] like Fig.15 , Fig.16 As shown, in one embodiment, a groove 422 is provided on the second turntable 42, and a convex rib 412 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the first turntable 41, the convex rib 412 is provided corresponding to the groove 422, and the convex rib 412 can be plugged into and matched with the corresponding groove 422, so as to limit the second turntable 42 circumferentially on the first turntable 41; wherein the second turntable 42 can slide relative to the first turntable 41 along the length direction of the convex rib 412.

[0081] like Figures 14 to 16As shown, in one embodiment, a first groove 411 is opened on the inner side of the first turntable 41, and a first rib 301 is arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the motor shaft 31. The first rib 301 is arranged corresponding to the first groove 411, and the first rib 301 can be plugged into and matched with the corresponding first groove 411, so as to limit the first turntable 41 circumferentially on the motor 30, so that the first turntable 41 can rotate following the motor shaft 31 of the motor 30.

[0082] like Fig.15 , Fig.17 As shown, in one embodiment, two push blocks 421 are provided on the second turntable 42, and the two push blocks 421 are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the second turntable 42, and correspond one to one with the two locking elements 21; when the motor 30 is in a working state, one of the push blocks 421 can drive the second turntable 42 to slide on the first turntable 41 under the push of the corresponding locking element 21, so that the sliding second turntable 42 can unlock the other locking element 21 by pushing the other push block 421.

[0083] like Fig.15 , Fig.17 As shown, in one embodiment, the push block 421 located below the second turntable 42 is set as the first push block 4213, and the locking element 21 that can be unlocked when driven by the first push block 4213 is set as the second locking element 214, and a push fitting block 2141 is formed on the second locking element 214, and the second locking element 214 can be abutted against the first push block 4213 through the push fitting block 2141; wherein, a clearance groove 21411 is provided on the push fitting block 2141, and the clearance groove 21411 is used to avoid the first push block 4213, so that the first push block 4213 can rotate relative to the push fitting block 2141 through the clearance groove 21411. It should be noted that, since the push-fit block 2141 slides linearly in the housing 10, the first push block 4213 rotates in the housing 10, so that when the first push block 4213 pushes the push-fit block 2141, the first push block 4213 and the push-fit block 2141 will gradually be dislocated until they are completely separated. Here, the push block 421 located above the second rotating disk 42 is set as the second push block 4214, and the locking element 21 that can be unlocked under the drive of the second push block 4214 is set as the first locking element 215.

[0084] Furthermore, if Fig.15 , Fig.18As shown, one end face of the second push block 4214 is configured as a second push inclined surface 42141. When the second turntable 42 rotates clockwise, the second push block 4214 can abut against the first locking element 215 through the second push inclined surface 42141, so that the second push block 4214 can drive the second turntable 42 to slide downward on the first turntable 41 under the push of the first locking element 215; correspondingly, one end face of the first push block 4213 is configured as a first push plane 42132, so that the second turntable 42 after sliding can abut against the second locking element 214 through the first push plane 42132, which is used to drive the second locking element 214 to unlock.

[0085] Furthermore, if Fig.15 As shown, the other end face of the first push block 4213 is configured as a first push slope 42131. When the second turntable rotates counterclockwise, the first push block 4213 can abut against the second locking element 214 through the first push slope 42131, so that the first push block 4213 can drive the second turntable 42 to slide upward on the first turntable 41 under the push of the first push slope 42131; accordingly, the other end face of the second push block 4214 is configured as a second push plane 42142, so that the second turntable 42 after sliding can abut against the first locking element 215 through the second push plane 42142, which is used to drive the first locking element 215 to unlock.

[0086] like Fig.13 , Fig.19 As shown, in one embodiment, the locking assembly also includes a spring 22, which is assembled between the two locking elements 21 in a pre-compressed manner. By utilizing the elastic deformation of the spring 22, the two locking elements 21 can automatically extend from the housing 10 without being pushed up by the second rotating disk 42, so as to meet the use requirements of locking the power bank 500 with the locking element 21. In other words, when the motor lock 100 is working, the motor 30 can control the second rotating disk 42 to rotate in the housing 10, and then use the push block 421 on the second rotating disk 42 and the spring 22 to push the corresponding locking element 21, so as to control each locking element 21 to slide back and forth on the housing 10, and achieve the control of each locking element 21 to unlock / lock the corresponding power bank 500.

[0087] like Fig.13As shown, in one embodiment, a first limiting portion 211 is formed on the first locking element 215, and a second limiting portion 212 is formed on the second locking element 214. The first limiting portion 211 and the second limiting portion 212 can be respectively plugged and matched with the spring 22 to limit the spring 22. In this way, on the one hand, it is convenient to assemble the spring 22 between the two locking elements 21, and on the other hand, it can also ensure the stability of the spring 22 when assembled between the two locking elements 21. Here, the first limiting portion 211 and the second limiting portion 212 are both configured as positioning protrusions that can be inserted into the two ends of the spring 22.

[0088] The working principle of the motor lock 100 of the present application for unlocking / locking two power banks 500 arranged side by side in two rows of compartment bodies 313 in the charging compartment module 310 in the corresponding compartment bodies 313 is as follows: Fig.17 The first locking element 215 is a first locking element 215, and the second locking element 215 is a second ... Fig.18 As shown, the second rotating disk 42 stops sliding, and then the second rotating disk 42 continues to rotate, and the first push plane 42132 on the first push block 4213 can push the push matching block 2141 of the second locking element 214, and the second locking element 214 can compress the spring 22 and unlock under the push of the push matching block 2141, which can be specifically as shown in FIG. Fig.19 As shown, at the same time, the locking tongue 2143 on the second locking element 214 leaves the card slot 501 of the power bank 500, which can be specifically as follows Fig.11As shown, in this way, the second locking element 214 can release the lock of the power bank 500. When the second turntable 42 continues to rotate, the first push plane 42132 will disengage from the push matching block 2141 and lose the push on the second locking element 214, so that the second locking element 214 is reset under the elastic push of the spring 22; when the motor shaft 31 of the motor 30 rotates in the opposite direction (counterclockwise), the motor shaft 31 of the motor 30 drives the second turntable 42 to rotate in the housing 10 through the first turntable 41. During this process, the first push inclined surface 42131 of the first push block 4213 on the second turntable 42 first abuts against the fourth push inclined surface 2142 on the second locking element 214, and the second turntable 42 continues to rotate. By utilizing the action force and reaction force, the second turntable 42 can be reset in the first turntable. The second rotating disk 42 stops sliding after the first pushing bevel 42131 of the first pushing block 4213 is disengaged from the fourth pushing bevel 2142 of the second locking element 214, and the second rotating disk 42 stops sliding. After that, the second rotating disk 42 continues to rotate, and the second pushing plane 42142 on the second pushing block 4214 can push the pushing portion 2152 of the first locking element 215. The first locking element 215 can compress the spring 22 and unlock under the pushing of the pushing portion 2152, so that the first locking element 215 can release the lock of the power bank 500. When the second rotating disk 42 continues to rotate, the second pushing plane 42142 will be disengaged from the pushing portion 2152 and lose the pushing of the first locking element 215, so that the first locking element 215 can be reset under the elastic pushing of the spring 22.
