[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a three-dimensional diagram of the battery module elevator in the embodiment. The utility model provides a module transport elevator, which includes a cabinet 1, a lifting module 2 and a sliding mechanism 3. Among them, the cabinet 1 is electrically connected to the lifting module 2, and the operation of the lifting module can be controlled by the cabinet 1. In addition, the cabinet 1 is also used to fix the lifting module 2, and the lifting module 2 is arranged on the cabinet 1 along the X-axis direction. In this example, the lifting module is fixed on one side of the cabinet along the X-axis, and the sliding mechanism 3 is arranged on the lifting module 2. The lifting module 2 is used to drive the sliding mechanism 3 to move up and down along the X-axis. The sliding mechanism 3 is used to place the battery module and push the battery module at the same time. The battery module can slide on the sliding mechanism 3.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 It is an exploded diagram of the sliding mechanism. The sliding mechanism 3 includes a support plate 31 and a plurality of pulley groups 32. The support plate 31 is connected to the lifting module 2. The plurality of pulley groups 32 are arranged on the support plate 31 at intervals along the Y-axis direction, that is, along the length direction of the support plate 31, and each pulley group 32 can rotate relative to the support plate 31. When in use, the battery module is pushed to the surface of the sliding mechanism 3, and then the battery module is manually pushed to slide the battery module. When the battery module slides, it can move relative to the support plate 31 through the plurality of pulley groups 32. By setting the plurality of pulley groups 32, the sliding friction generated when the battery module moves is converted into rolling friction, which facilitates the movement of the battery module while preventing the bottom of the battery module from being scratched, thereby ensuring the quality of the battery module.

[0034] In this embodiment, the sliding mechanism 3 is arranged at the driving end of the lifting module 2 along the X-axis direction, and the sliding mechanism 3 and the lifting module 2 are perpendicular to each other. When the lifting module 2 is in operation, the sliding mechanism 3 is driven to move linearly along the X-axis direction.

[0035] When in use, the lifting module 2 is controlled by the cabinet 1, and the lifting module 2 drives the sliding mechanism 3 to rise and fall to the same plane as the shipping pallet, and then the battery module is manually pushed from the shipping pallet to the sliding mechanism 3, and then the battery module can slide horizontally from the sliding mechanism 3. By adopting the sliding mechanism 3, the wear of the bottom of the battery module is avoided and the labor intensity of the workers is reduced. When the battery module reaches the preset position, the lifting module 2 is started, and its driving end drives the sliding mechanism 3 and the battery module located on the sliding mechanism 3 to move along the X-axis direction, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering movement of the battery module.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 3 Schematic diagram of a pulley member. Furthermore, each pulley assembly 32 includes a fixing member 321 and a plurality of pulley members 322. The fixing member 321 is connected to the support plate 31 along the Y-axis direction.

The pulley member 322 includes a rotating shaft 3222 and a wheel body 3221. The rotating shaft 3222 is passed through the wheel body 3221. The rotating shaft 3222 is arranged along the Z-axis direction, and the two ends of the rotating shaft 3222 are respectively connected to the two side walls of the fixing member 321, so that the wheel body 3221 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 3222. Preferably, the wheel body 3221 is made of silicone material, so that the wheel body 3221 is more elastic and the static friction between the wheel body 3221 and the surface of the battery module is increased.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 It is an exploded view of the limit module. In addition, it also includes a limit module 4, which is arranged at one end of the sliding mechanism 3. The limit module 4 is used to block the battery module to prevent the battery module from sliding off the sliding mechanism 3 during the lifting process. Specifically, the limit module 4 includes a driving cylinder 41 and a limit baffle 42, wherein the driving cylinder 41 is installed at one end of the support plate 31, and the limit baffle 42 is connected to the driving end of the driving cylinder 41, so that the driving cylinder 41 can drive the limit baffle 42 to move up and down along the X-axis. When the limit module 4 is not started, the highest end of the limit baffle 42 is lower than the highest end of the sliding mechanism 3, so as to facilitate the loading or unloading of the battery module. After starting the limit module 4, the driving cylinder 41 drives the limit baffle 42 to rise, so that the highest point of the limit baffle 42 is higher than the sliding mechanism 3. Therefore, after the battery module is transferred to the sliding mechanism 3, the limiting module 4 is activated to raise the limiting baffle 42 to prevent the battery module from rolling and sliding, thereby improving the safety of the battery module transport mechanism.

[0038] Furthermore, the limiting module 4 also includes two support assemblies 43, and the two support assemblies 43 are respectively arranged on both sides of the driving cylinder 41. Each support assembly 43 includes a guide member 431 and a support member 432. One end of the guide member 431 is connected to the support plate 31, and the guide member 431 is provided with a guide hole 4310, and the guide hole 4310 corresponds to a support member 432. One end of the support member 432 is connected to the limiting baffle 42, and the other end is arranged in the guide hole 4310, and moves relative to the guide member 431. When the driving cylinder 41 drives the limiting baffle 42 to move up and down, the support member 432 moves up and down synchronously with the limiting baffle 42, and the end of the support member 432 away from the limiting baffle 42 moves in the guide hole 4310.

[0040] It should be noted that the screw module 22 is a prior art, and its structure is not the focus of the present invention, so it will not be described in detail. In this embodiment, one side of the sliding mechanism 3 is connected to the slide table of the screw module 22, and the screw module 22 drives the sliding mechanism 3 to realize the automatic lifting movement of the sliding mechanism 3.

[0041] Furthermore, each set of slide rail assemblies 21 includes a slide rail 211 and a slider 212. The slide rail 211 is installed on the cabinet 1 along the X-axis direction. The slider 212 is slidably connected to the slide rail 211, and the slide rail 211 is connected to the sliding mechanism 3. Thus, the sliding mechanism 3 can be slidably connected to the cabinet 1 through the slide rail assembly 21.

[0042] In this embodiment, two sets of slide rail assemblies 21 are provided. The sliders 212 of the two sets of slide rail assemblies 21 are respectively connected to the slide mechanism 3 to provide further support for the slide mechanism 3 and ensure the stability of the slide mechanism 3 during lifting and lowering motion.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 This is an enlarged view of part A. Figure 7It is an enlarged view of part B.

The first sensor 61 and the second sensor 62 are electrically connected to the screw module 22, respectively. The first sensor 61 and the second sensor 62 are used to limit the highest position and the lowest position of the screw module 22, respectively. When the sensor sheet 63 passes the first sensor 61, the screw module 22 stops rising, and at this time the sliding mechanism 3 is kept at the highest position by the screw module 22. When the sensing sheet 63 passes through the second sensing member 62 , the screw module 22 stops lowering. At this time, the sliding mechanism 3 is held at the lowest position by the screw module 22 .

Each group of positioning brackets 5 is formed with a snap-in position 51, and the snap-in position 51 is adapted to the support plate 31. When the lifting module 22 drives the sliding mechanism 3 to lower to the lowest point, the two ends of the support plate 31 can be respectively mounted in the snap-in positions 51 of the two groups of positioning brackets 5, providing support for the support plate 31, and effectively enhancing the stability of the sliding mechanism 3.

[0045] Furthermore, the cabinet 1 includes a cabinet body 11, a control mainboard and a control button 12.
