Two groups of plug-in components 140 are arranged up and down between the positive terminal plate 120 and the negative terminal plate 130, and each group of plug-in components 140 is horizontally equidistantly distributed with multiple plug-in components 140.

Each connecting rod 232 is movably provided with a push plate 233 at one end away from the rotating disk 231. A group of wedge blocks 234 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two push plates 233. Each group of wedge blocks 234 is horizontally equidistantly distributed. The wedge blocks 234 are arranged one by one with the insertion rod 141. The end of the insertion rod 141 away from the stop block 1411 is provided with a wedge groove 1412 adapted to the wedge block 234. The wedge block 234 is clamped to the corresponding The inner cavity of the wedge-shaped groove 1412, two symmetrically arranged limit assemblies 235 are provided between the push plate 233 and the support plate 210, and a rotating assembly 236 used in conjunction with the positioning assembly 250 is provided on the turntable 231. By rotating the turntable 231, one end of the connecting rod 232 can be driven to move synchronously. Since the length of the connecting rod 232 remains unchanged, the other end of the connecting rod 232 drives the push plate 233 to move toward or away from the insertion rod 141, and the push plate 233 drives the wedge block 234 to move synchronously, thereby realizing the locking or unlocking operation of the insertion rod 141; a through groove 2331 is opened on the push plate 233, and the end of the connecting rod 232 away from the turntable 231 passes through the through groove The inner cavity of the groove 2331 is connected by rotating the shaft, which can not only realize the active connection between the connecting rod 232 and the push plate 233, but also provide a movable space for the end of the connecting rod 232 to ensure that when the connecting rod 232 operates synchronously with the rotating disk 231, the push plate 233 will not block the connecting rod 232; the limiting component 235 includes a T-shaped groove 2351 opened on the push plate 233, and the inner cavity of the T-shaped groove 2351 is slidably connected with a guide rail 2352, and one side of the guide rail 2352 is fixedly connected to the support plate 210. When the connecting rod 232 drives the push plate 233 to move, the push plate 233 can drive the T-shaped groove 2351 to slide on the surface of the guide rail 2352, thereby being able to push the push plate 210. The plate 233 plays a guiding role, so that the push plate 233 can move stably toward or away from the insertion rod 141; the rotating assembly 236 includes a rotating assembly 236 fixedly connected to the center of one side of the turntable 231, one end of the rotating assembly 236 movably penetrates to one side of the support plate 210 and is fixedly connected to a gear 2362, and the surface of the boss 2361 is rotatably connected to the penetration of the support plate 210 through a bearing to achieve a movable connection between the rotating assembly 236 and the support plate 210, which helps to improve the stability of the boss 2361 during rotation, and the gear 2362 is fixedly connected to a knob 2363 on the side away from the support plate 210, which is convenient for the hand to rotate the gear 2362 under force.
[0028] The clamping assembly 240 includes a spring 241 and a pressure ring 242 movably mounted on the surface of the plug rod 141.

When the wedge block 234 continues to be inserted into the inner cavity of the wedge groove 1412, the pressure ring 242 can be forced toward the negative terminal plate 130. The inner cavity moves and causes the spring 241 to be compressed. Under the elastic force of the spring 241, the positive terminal plate 120 and the negative terminal plate 130 are firmly pressed against the battery stack 110, which helps to improve the stability and sealing of the assembly and fixation of the battery stack unit 100; both ends of the spring 241 are fixedly connected with gaskets 2411, one of the gaskets 2411 is in contact with the negative terminal plate 130, and the other gasket 2411 is in contact with the corresponding pressure ring 242. The gasket 2411 can prevent the spring 241 from directly contacting the negative terminal plate 130 and the pressure ring 242, thereby preventing the surface of the negative terminal plate 130 and the pressure ring 242 from being scratched.
