[0041] The following will combine Figures 1-12 to describe the semi-automatic energy storage battery swapping cabinet lifting and cabinet-in equipment of the present invention.

[0042] For a clear understanding of the specific embodiments of the present invention, the following explanations are made: As Figure 1 and Figure 12 shown, the battery pack includes a battery body 53 and two side positioning plates 5301. The two side positioning plates 5301 are fixedly connected to both sides of the battery body 53, and inclined surfaces are provided at both ends of the side positioning plates 5301.

[0043] Based on the above explanations, the following implementations are made:

[0044] As Figures 1 to 12 shown, in one embodiment, a semi-automatic energy storage battery swapping cabinet lifting and cabinet-in equipment includes a moving seat 1. Specifically, installation grooves are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the moving seat 1. Fixed plates 48 are fixedly installed in the installation grooves. A fourth motor 49 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed plate 48. A connecting frame 50 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 48. The top end of the connecting frame 50 is fixedly connected to the output end of the fourth motor 49. Wheels 51 are rotatably provided on the connecting frame 50. A fifth motor 52 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting frame 50. The output end of the fifth motor 52 is fixedly connected to the wheel 51;

[0045] It should be understood that the fourth motor 49 drives the connecting frame 50 to rotate, thereby realizing the function of changing the driving direction of the wheels 51. By providing the fifth motor 52, the function of providing power to the wheels 51 is achieved.

[0046] It further includes: a first installation cavity 2, which is opened on the top of the moving seat 1;

[0047] The moving frame 3 is slidably arranged inside the first installation cavity 2. Two connecting seats 4 are slidably arranged on the moving frame 3, and a receiving platform 5 is arranged between the two connecting seats 4;

[0048] The screw drive assembly is arranged on the moving frame 3 and is used to lift the heights of the two connecting seats 4;

[0049] The conveyor belt assembly is used to support the battery packs received on the receiving platform 5 and convey and adjust the positions of the battery packs; and

[0050] The adjustment and positioning assembly is used to first clamp and position both sides of the battery pack carried on the conveyor belt assembly, and then press and position both sides of the top of the battery pack.

[0051] It should be understood that, first, the battery packs are received by the receiving platform 5, and the conveyor belt assembly can actively convey the battery packs and convey and move them to the middle position of the receiving platform 5;

[0052] Then, the adjustment and positioning assembly presses and positions both sides of the top of the battery pack carried on the conveyor belt assembly, and then clamps and positions the middle of both sides of the battery pack. The pressing of the adjustment and positioning assembly on the top of the battery pack is specifically to press the top of the side positioning plates 5301 on both sides of the battery pack, and the centering clamping of both sides of the battery plate refers to clamping and positioning the side positioning plates 5301 on both sides of the battery pack;

[0053] Finally, when the moving seat 1 moves to the battery cabinet, the screw drive assembly drives the two connecting seats 4 to move synchronously through threads, thereby driving the receiving platform 5 arranged between the two connecting seats 4 to rise, realizing the adjustment of the height to adapt to the accommodation spaces of different heights in the charging cabinet.

[0054] By arranging the adjustment and positioning assembly, the two sides of the battery pack are centered and clamped first, and then the battery packs received on the receiving platform 5 are pressed and supported, so that the battery packs are tightly attached to the conveyor belt assembly, and a stable frictional force is maintained between the contact positions of the battery packs and the conveyor belt assembly, which is beneficial to preventing side slip, and the orientation of the ends of the battery packs is adjusted and positioned, which is beneficial to aligning the battery packs with the battery cabinet for entering the cabinet.

[0055] Such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the moving frame 3 includes two first frame bodies 301 and two second frame bodies 302, and the two second frame bodies 302 are fixedly connected to the tops of the two first frame bodies 301;

[0056] The screw drive assembly includes two first motors 6, which are respectively and fixedly installed inside two first frames 301. The output ends of the two first motors 6 are both fixedly connected with lifting screws 7, and the two lifting screws 7 are respectively threadedly connected with two connecting seats 4.

[0057] It should be understood that when it is necessary to adjust the height of the battery pack placed on the receiving platform 5, the two first motors 6 are started. The two first motors 6 will drive the lifting screws 7 to rotate. The rotation of the lifting screws 7 will drive the connecting seats 4 to move by screw thread. The connecting seats 4 will synchronously drive the receiving platform 5 to move, and the receiving platform 5 will drive the battery pack after being adjusted and positioned to move, so as to realize the adjustment of the height of the battery pack entering the cabinet.

[0058] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, in one embodiment, connection assemblies are provided between both sides of the receiving platform 5 and the connecting seats 4. The connection assemblies include:

[0059] A rotating shaft 8, one end of the rotating shaft 8 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the receiving platform 5, and the other end of the rotating shaft 8 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 4;

[0060] An angle adjustment assembly, the angle adjustment assembly includes a groove rail 9, a guiding groove 12 and a second motor 13. The groove rail 9 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the receiving platform 5, and a supporting slide plate 10 is slidably arranged inside the groove rail 9. Two supporting pins 11 are fixedly connected to the surface of the supporting slide plate 10. The guiding groove 12 is opened on the surface of the connecting seat 4. The guiding groove 12 includes a first transverse groove 1201 and two first arc grooves 1202. The center of the arc of the first arc groove 1202 falls on the axis of the rotating shaft 8. The first transverse groove 1201 is slidably sleeved on the surfaces of the two supporting pins 11. The second motor 13 is fixedly installed on the surface of the connecting seat 4, and the output end b is fixedly connected with a pushing screw 14. A pushing block 15 is threadedly connected to the surface of the pushing screw 14. The bottom of the pushing block 15 is fixedly connected with a linkage frame 16. A pushing pin 17 is slidably arranged inside the linkage frame 16, and the pushing pin 17 is fixedly connected to the end face of a supporting pin 11 beside it.

[0061] It should be understood that when horizontally receiving or horizontally conveying the battery pack, the two support pins 11 are both slidably arranged in the first horizontal groove 1201. The two support pins 11 and the rotating shaft 8 form a triangular support state with three support points, which is beneficial to form a relatively stable state between the receiving table 5 and the connecting seat 4. When it is necessary to raise the receiving end a and lower the conveying end b, the second motor 13 is started. The second motor 13 drives the pushing screw 14 to rotate, driving the pushing block 15 to move in the first direction c. The pushing block 15 pushes the pushing pin 17 through the linkage frame 16, and the pushing pin 17 drives the support pin 11 to move into the first arc groove 1202. The support pin 11 synchronously drives the receiving table 5 to flip, realizing the inclination adjustment of the entire receiving table 5. When it is necessary to lower the receiving end a and raise the conveying end b, the second motor 13 is started. The second motor 13 drives the pushing screw 14 to rotate, driving the pushing block 15 to move in the second direction d. The pushing block 15 pushes the pushing pin 17 through the linkage frame 16, and the pushing pin 17 drives the support pin 11 to move into the first arc groove 1202, realizing the inclination adjustment of the entire receiving table 5. When the receiving table 5 is in an inclined state, one of the two support pins 11 is in the first horizontal groove 1201, and the other is in the first arc groove 1202 and abuts against the inner wall of the first arc groove 1202, still forming multi-point support with the rotating shaft 8, which is beneficial to maintaining the stability of the inclined state of the receiving table 5.

[0062] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, in one embodiment, the conveyor belt assembly includes:

[0063] A conveying cavity 18 is opened at the top of the receiving table 5. Two slide rails are fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the conveying cavity 18;

[0064] Two conveying seats 19 are respectively slidably arranged on the surfaces of the two slide rails. A plurality of conveying rollers 20 are rotatably arranged on the two conveying seats 19. A conveyor belt body 21 is drivingly arranged on the surfaces of the plurality of conveying rollers 20 on the same conveying seat 19;

[0065] A third motor 22 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the conveying cavity 18, and the output end is fixedly connected with a driving screw 23. A driving frame 24 is threadedly connected to the surface of the driving screw 23. The two ends of the driving frame 24 are respectively fixedly connected with the two conveying seats 19.

[0066] It should be understood that during receiving, the third motor 22 is started. The third motor 22 drives the driving screw 23 to rotate. The driving screw 23 threadedly drives the moving frame 3 to move. The moving frame 3 synchronously drives the two conveying seats 19 to move in the second direction d, and then actively extends out of the conveying seats 19, with an active receiving process;

[0067] During the process of conveying the battery pack out of the receiving table 5, the third motor 22 is started. The third motor 22 drives the driving screw 23 to rotate. The driving screw 23 threadedly drives the moving frame 3 to move. The moving frame 3 synchronously drives the two conveying seats 19 to move in the first direction c, thereby actively extending the conveying seats 19. There is an active sending-out process, enabling the conveying seats 19 to move to a position close to the battery cabinet.

[0068] As Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, in one embodiment, the adjustment and positioning assembly includes:

[0069] Two upper pressing seats 25 are arranged at both inner sidewalls of the conveying cavity 18. Elastic support members are fixedly connected between the tops of the two upper pressing seats 25 and the inner sidewall of the conveying cavity 18. A plurality of first support wheels 26 are rotatably connected to the bottom ends of the two upper pressing seats 25;

[0070] Two first cylinders 27 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the receiving table 5;

[0071] Two adjusting plates 28 are slidably arranged on the inner sidewall of the conveying cavity 18, and the tops are respectively fixedly connected to the piston rod ends of the two first cylinders 27. Adjusting grooves 29 are formed on the surfaces of the adjusting plates 28. The adjusting grooves 29 include first vertical grooves 2901 and first inclined grooves 2902. A pressing plate 2801 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sidewall of the adjusting plate 28;

[0072] Two connecting pins 30 are respectively fixedly connected to both inner sidewalls of the conveying cavity 18. Linkage frames 31 are sleeved on the surfaces of the two connecting pins 30. Linkage pins 32 are fixedly connected to the tops of the two linkage frames 31. The two linkage pins 32 are respectively slidably arranged in the two first vertical grooves 2901. Side pressing plates 33 are arranged at the bottom ends of the linkage frames 31. A plurality of second support wheels 34 are rotatably connected to the sidewalls of the side pressing plates 33.

[0073] It should be understood that after the conveyor belt assembly actively conveys the battery pack onto the receiving table 5, two first cylinders 27 are started. The two first cylinders 27 synchronously push the two adjusting plates 28 to lower their heights. The first inclined slots 2902 on the adjusting plates 28 will first push the linkage pins 32. The linkage pins 32 will drive the linkage frame 31 to move on the surface of the connecting pin 30, and simultaneously drive the side pressing plates 33 to approach the battery pack until the two side pressing plates 33 clamp both sides of the battery pack to achieve centering positioning. And through the rolling support of the second support wheels 34, while the battery pack is centered and clamped, it can move between the two side pressing plates 33. During the process of the adjusting plate 28 continuing to lower its height, the first vertical slot 2901 will move on the surface of the linkage pin 32. While maintaining the clamping and positioning state of the side pressing plate 33, it drives the pressing plate 2801 to push the upper pressing seat 25 until the first support wheels 26 on the upper pressing seat 25 press both sides of the top of the battery pack, so that the bottom of the battery pack is closely attached to the conveyor belt assembly, maintaining the frictional force between the battery pack and the conveyor belt assembly, which is beneficial to preventing side slip;

[0074] During the entire adjustment and positioning process, the adjustment and positioning assembly realizes first horizontal centering positioning of the battery pack in the conveying cavity 18 on the receiving table 5, then pressing and positioning, maintains the frictional force between the battery pack and the conveyor belt assembly, determines the conveying direction of the battery pack in the conveying cavity 18, and maintains the frictional force between the conveyor belt assembly and the battery pack, providing stable frictional power for the subsequent conveying. And during the process of conveying out the battery pack, the first support wheels 26 and the second support wheels 34 maintain rolling contact with the surface of the side positioning plates 5301 on both sides of the battery pack, realizing the orientation of the battery pack while providing freedom for the conveying movement of the battery pack, avoiding the occurrence of obstruction.

[0075] As Figure 6 shown, in one embodiment, the elastic support member includes two connecting sleeves 35. The two connecting sleeves 35 are fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting seat 4. Two support rods 36 are slidably inserted into both of the two connecting sleeves 35. The bottom ends of the two support rods 36 are fixedly connected to the top of the upper pressing plate 2801. Support springs 37 are sleeved on the surfaces of the two support rods 36. The two ends of the support springs 37 are respectively fixedly connected to the top ends of the support rods 36 and the top ends of the connecting sleeves 35. It should be understood that through the cooperation of the support rods 36 and the support springs 37, after the upper pressing seat 25 loses the pressing of the pressing plate 2801, the upper pressing seat 25 will be automatically lifted, canceling the pressing on the side positioning plates 5301 on both sides of the battery pack, providing sufficient space to prepare for the reception of a new battery pack.

[0076] As Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in one embodiment, a connecting shaft 38 is fixedly connected to the top of the side pressing plate 33. A connecting plate 39 is rotatably connected to the surface of the connecting shaft 38. The connecting plate 39 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the linkage frame 31. A first limiting baffle 40 is fixedly connected to the top end of the connecting shaft 38. A limiting sleeve 41 is also sleeved outside the connecting shaft 38. Both ends of the limiting sleeve 41 are fixedly connected to the linkage frame 31. A second limiting baffle 42 that cooperates with the first limiting baffle 40 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting sleeve 41;

[0077] A support ring 43 is also fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting shaft 38. The support ring 43 is located between the connecting plate 39 and the limiting sleeve 41. A torsion spring 44 is sleeved on the surface of the connecting shaft 38. Both ends of the torsion spring 44 are fixedly connected to the support ring 43 and the connecting plate 39 respectively. It should be understood that before adjusting the positioning, under the support of the torsion spring 44, the connecting shaft 38 will drive the side pressing plate 33 to be in an inclined state. The position of the side pressing plate 33 close to the receiving end a will be close to the side wall of the conveying cavity 18. During the process of the battery pack being received and conveyed into the conveying cavity 18, when the end of the battery pack has an offset in the conveying direction, the second support wheel 34 on the side pressing plate 33 will have a guiding effect. The inclined surface on the side positioning plate 5301 will contact the second support wheel 34, which is beneficial to realizing a certain deviation correction effect and guiding the battery pack between the two side pressing plates 33;

[0078] After the battery pack is between the two side pressing plates 33, when the two linkage frames 31 are adjusted to approach the side positioning plates 5301 on both sides of the battery pack synchronously, the two side pressing plates 33 will gradually approach the side positioning plates 5301 on both sides of the battery pack until the two sides of the battery pack are clamped, realizing horizontal centering positioning. The first limiting plate and the second limiting plate are in full contact, and the two side pressing plates 33 realize clamping and positioning of the side positioning plates 5301 on both sides of the battery pack twice.

[0079] As Figure 3 shown, in one embodiment, a relief groove 45 is provided on each of the two side walls inside the conveying cavity 18. It should be understood that by providing the relief groove 45, the end position when the side pressing plate 33 is inclined can be accommodated, avoiding the end of the battery pack from abutting against the end of the side pressing plate 33 and exposing the second support wheel 34, and improving the direct contact opportunity between the second support wheel 34 and the inclined surface of the side positioning plate 5301 of the battery pack.

[0080] As Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, in one embodiment, two support rails 55 are fixedly connected to the inside of the first frame body 301. Connecting sliders 54 are slidably arranged on the surfaces of the two support rails 55. The two connecting sliders 54 are fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting seat 4. It should be understood that through the connection between the connecting slider 54 and the support rail 55, the connecting seat 4 and the first frame body 301 are slidably connected.

[0081] As Figure 1 shown, in one embodiment, electric slide rails 46 are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner bottom surface of the first installation cavity 2. Electric sliders 47 are slidably arranged on the surfaces of the two electric slide rails 46, and the tops of the two electric sliders 47 are fixedly connected to the bottoms of the two first frames 301 respectively. It should be understood that when receiving the battery pack, the electric sliders 47 can be driven to move by the electric slide rails 46. The electric sliders 47 drive the moving frame 3 to move in the second direction d, thereby driving the receiving platform 5 closer to the receiving position. When transporting the battery pack to the charging cabinet, the electric sliders 47 can be driven to move by the electric slide rails 46. The electric sliders 47 will drive the moving frame 3 to move in the first direction c, thereby driving the receiving platform 5 closer to the battery cabinet position, facilitating the battery pack to be put into the cabinet.
