A support bottom strip 31 is fixedly arranged on the expansion protection plate 3, and a limit mating cavity 32 is arranged on the support bottom strip 31.

[0036] As Figure 2 and Figure 6 shown, after expansion, the movable bearing plate 2 is in a horizontal state, the expansion protection plate 3 is placed on the movable bearing plate 2, and the positioning of the expansion protection plate 3 is realized through the cooperation of the limit mating cavity 32 and the limit vertical plate 23. That is, the movable bearing plate 2 plays a supporting role for the new battery cell at this time, and the expansion protection plate 3 closes the end of the battery case 1.

[0037] As Figure 7 shown, the top closing mechanism of the case is a closing top plate 4.

A moving channel 44 is arranged beside the limit channel 43.

[0038] As Figure 10 and Figure 9As shown, at one end of the closed top plate 4 away from the limit fitting column 40, a convex load-bearing strip 45 is fixedly arranged. A guiding fitting hole 46 is arranged on the convex load-bearing strip 45. A load-bearing groove 47 is formed on the lower end surface of the closed top plate 4.

[0039] As Figure 7 and Figure 9 shown, the interlocking fixing mechanism includes a movable load-bearing sleeve 5 and a Z-shaped locking plate 6. The movable load-bearing sleeve 5 is located in the load-bearing sheath 41. A load-bearing fitting vertical rod 51 is fixedly arranged in the movable load-bearing sleeve 5. A limit top block 52 is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the load-bearing fitting vertical rod 51. A return spring 53 and a movable limit block 54 are sleeved on the load-bearing fitting vertical rod 51. A hole matching the load-bearing fitting vertical rod 51 is arranged on the movable limit block 54 to facilitate the up and down movement of the movable limit block 54 along the load-bearing fitting vertical rod 51. The upper and lower ends of the return spring 53 are respectively fixed on the movable limit block 54 and the movable load-bearing sleeve 5. Additionally, when the movable limit block 54 limits the movable load-bearing sleeve 5, it is inserted into the limit channel 43.

[0040] As Figure 9 shown, a connecting load-bearing rod 55 is also fixedly arranged on the movable load-bearing sleeve 5. The connecting load-bearing rod 55 is inserted into the connecting through hole 42. A connecting driving plate 56 is fixedly arranged on the connecting load-bearing rod 55. A connecting spring 57 is sleeved on the connecting load-bearing rod 55. Movable connecting rods 58 are symmetrically hinged at both ends of the connecting driving plate 56. The other ends of the movable connecting rods 58 are hinged to the Z-shaped locking plate 6. Additionally, the connecting spring 57 is located in the load-bearing sheath 41, and both ends of the connecting spring 57 are respectively fixed on the movable load-bearing sleeve 5 and the inner wall of the load-bearing sheath 41.

[0041] As Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown, a plugging locking rod 61 is fixedly arranged on the Z-shaped locking plate 6. The plugging locking rod 61 is inserted into the connecting fixing hole 17. A support guiding rod 62 is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the Z-shaped locking plate 6. The support guiding rod 62 is inserted into the guiding fitting hole 46. A limit support plate 63 is fixedly arranged at the lower end of the Z-shaped locking plate 6.

[0042] When the limit support plate 63 limits the movable load-bearing plate 2 in the vertical state, it contacts its outer end surface. When the limit support plate 63 supports and limits the movable load-bearing plate 2 in the horizontal state, it is inserted into the support limit hole 22.

[0043] As Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the movable top closing mechanism is the movable upper closing plate 7. The movable upper closing plate 7 is inserted into the bearing groove 47. Symmetrically fixed on both sides of the movable upper closing plate 7 are moving fit strips 71. The moving fit strips 71 are inserted into the support moving grooves 48. Fixed at one end of the movable upper closing plate 7 is a fitting convex strip 72. Symmetrically formed in the fitting convex strip 72 are driving fitting holes 73.

[0044] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the movable side closing mechanism is the side closing plate 8. Before expansion, the side closing plate 8 is completely inserted into the storage channel 13. Respectively formed in the upper sides of both ends of the side closing plate 8 are fitting locking holes 81. Fixed on the upper side of one end of the side closing plate 8 close to the movable bearing plate 2 is a fitting driving column 82. When the closing top plate 4 is installed on the battery housing 1, the fitting driving column 82 is inserted into the driving fitting hole 73. Additionally, when the insertion locking rod 61 fixes the side closing plate 8, it is inserted into the fitting locking hole 81.

[0045] Before expansion, the plug-in locking rod 61 passes through the connecting and fixing hole 17 and is plugged into the matching locking hole 81 near one end of the movable bearing plate 2. At this time, the plug-in locking rod 61 and the connecting and fixing hole 17 cooperate to achieve the fixation of the closed top plate 4. When expansion is required, the expansion guard plate 3 is pulled out of the storage cavity 24, and then the movable limit block 54 is pushed downward to make it exit the limit channel 43, and then the movable bearing sleeve 5 is pushed into the inside of the bearing sleeve 41. In this way, under the action of the movable connecting rod 58, the Z-shaped locking plate 6 will be driven to move away from the battery housing 1, so that the plug-in locking rod 61 exits the matching locking The hole 81 also drives the limiting support plate 63 to separate from the movable bearing plate 2, so that the limiting support plate 63 will no longer limit the movable bearing plate 2. At this time, the movable bearing plate 2 can be rotated downward to make it horizontal, and the new battery cell can be supported by the movable bearing plate 2 to complete the expansion. Then, the expansion guard plate 3 is positioned on the movable bearing plate 2 through the cooperation of the limiting matching cavity 32 and the limiting vertical plate 23. After that, the matching convex strip 72 can be pulled to drive the movable upper sealing plate 7 to move, and the lateral closing plate 8 will also be driven to move to the outside of the storage channel 13. After pulling the matching convex strip 72, the movable upper sealing plate 7 can be released. The plug-in locking rod 61 of the movable bearing sleeve 5 at this time abuts against the lateral closing plate 8 until the movable upper closing plate 7 and the lateral closing plate 8 are in contact with the expansion guard plate 3. At this time, the movable upper closing plate 7 is in contact with the upper end surface of the expansion guard plate 3, and the lateral closing plate 8 is pressed on the supporting bottom bar 31. Under the action of the two, the expansion guard plate 3 is fixed, and the two are closed together with the expansion guard plate 3 to form a closed space to protect the battery cell 11. At this time, the plug-in locking rod 61 is aligned with the matching locking hole 81 on the lateral closing plate 8 away from the end of the movable bearing plate 2, so that the movable upper closing plate 7 is driven by the action of the connecting spring 57. The bearing sleeve 5 is reset, so that the plug-in locking rod 61 is inserted into the matching locking hole 81 that is aligned with it, thereby fixing the lateral closing plate 8 and the movable upper closing plate 7. At the same time, the limiting support plate 63 is inserted into the supporting limiting hole 22 at this time, thereby realizing the limiting support for the movable bearing plate 2, so that it is in a stable horizontal state. After the movable bearing sleeve 5 is reset, the movable limiting block 54 is again inserted into the limiting channel 43 under the action of the reset spring 53, thereby realizing the limiting of the movable bearing sleeve 5. The shape of the battery housing 1 can be quickly changed, and the capacity expansion operation can be performed according to the use requirements, which is very convenient.
