[0033] Please also read Figures 1 to 6, this embodiment provides a battery tray. Specifically, the battery tray includes a frame body 1, a lower layer plate 2, an upper layer plate 3, and a locking member. The top of the frame body 1 is provided with an opening, and an accommodation cavity for installing the upper layer plate 3 and the lower layer plate 2 is arranged inside. The lower layer plate 2 is horizontally fixed in the accommodation cavity. The lower layer plate 2 is provided with a plurality of first through holes 21, and a first baffle 22 extending upward is arranged on one side of the edge of each first through hole 21. The first baffle 22 is provided with a first clamping surface 23 facing the first through hole 21. The upper layer plate 3 is horizontally movably stacked on the top of the lower layer plate 2, and the locking member locks the horizontal relative positions of the upper layer plate 3 and the lower layer plate 2. The upper layer plate 3 is provided with a plurality of second through holes 31, and a second baffle 32 extending downward is arranged on one side of the edge of each second through hole 31 opposite to the first baffle 22. The second baffle 32 is provided with a second clamping surface 33 facing the second through hole 31. The first clamping surface 23 and the second clamping surface 33 are used for clamping the side wall of the battery.

[0034] Among them, please refer to Figure 7 , the frame body 1 is of a square structure, and its accommodation cavity accommodates 4 groups of the upper layer plate 3, the lower layer plate 2, and the locking member. The four groups of the upper layer plate 3, the lower layer plate 2, and the locking member are arranged in a "field" shape. A plurality of first heat dissipation through holes 11 are formed in the side wall of the frame body 1, and the first heat dissipation through holes 11 run through the outer wall and the accommodation cavity of the frame body 1 vertically and horizontally. The outer wall of the frame body 1 is further provided with reinforcing ribs 12 arranged longitudinally and transversely for strengthening the structural strength of the frame body 1. Handle parts 13 are further arranged on the side walls at opposite ends of the frame body 1, which is convenient for personnel to carry. In another embodiment, the frame body 1 can also be of a cylindrical structure or other shaped structures; the reinforcing ribs 12 can also be arranged obliquely or in other directions as long as the structural strength of the frame body 1 can be enhanced.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 8 to 9, the bottom of the frame 1 is provided with a snap-in notch 14, and the top of the frame 1 is provided with a snap-in boss 15 corresponding to the snap-in notch 14. When the two frames 1 are stacked together, the snap-in notch 14 of the frame 1 located at the top is snap-into the snap-in boss 15 of the frame 1 located at the bottom. Specifically, the snap-in notch 14 is provided at the four corners of the bottom of the frame 1, and the snap-in boss 15 is provided at the four corners of the top of the frame 1, so as to further limit the stacked frames 1, improve the stability of the snap-in when the frames 1 are stacked, facilitate the stacking of the frames 1, and prevent the frames 1 from falling. The snap-in notch 14 and the snap-in boss 15 are both provided with corresponding guiding inclined surfaces, so that personnel can also stack or remove the frames 1 at other angles. In another embodiment, the snap-in notch 14 can also be provided at the middle or other position of the bottom edge of the frame 1, and the snap-in boss 15 is provided corresponding to the snap-in notch 14.

[0036] Please also read Figure 10 to Figure 11 The frame 1 is provided with a third through hole 16 corresponding to the first through hole 21 and the second through hole 31, and a storage bracket 17 for inserting a battery extends from the third through hole 16 in a direction away from the top of the frame 1, and the storage bracket 17 includes a connecting portion 171 and a supporting portion 172, and the supporting portion 172 is arranged parallel to the lower side of the third through hole 16, and the connecting portion 171 connects the third through hole 16 and the supporting portion 172. The storage bracket 17 can store and limit the bottom of the battery, and combined with the clamping effect of the first clamping surface 23 and the second clamping surface 33, the stability of the battery storage can be enhanced. In addition, placing the battery in the storage bracket 17 in advance can keep the battery in a vertical state, which is convenient for the first clamping surface 23 and the second clamping surface 33 to clamp the battery, thereby improving work efficiency. The support portion 172 is provided with a second heat dissipation through hole 1721, and the inner diameter of the second heat dissipation through hole 1721 is smaller than the minimum distance between the first clamping surface 23 and the second clamping surface 33, so as to prevent the battery from falling from the second heat dissipation through hole 1721. The connecting portion 171 includes four connecting ribs symmetrically arranged about the center of the third through hole 16, and the connecting ribs connect the third through hole 16 and the support portion 172. The connecting ribs can make the frame 1 lightweight and convenient for personnel transportation while ensuring the structural strength. In other embodiments, the number of the connecting ribs can also be 3, 5 or other numbers. In other embodiments, the connecting portion 171 can also be a cylindrical structure or a structure of other shapes.

[0037] The inner diameter of the third through hole 16 is not less than the distance between the first clamping surface 23 and the second clamping surface 33 , and can accommodate batteries with larger outer diameters, thereby increasing the types of batteries that can be clamped and improving versatility.

[0038] See also Figure 6 The second baffle plate 32 is arranged on the side wall of the second through hole 31, and the first baffle plate 22 extends into the second through hole 31 and is arranged opposite to the second baffle plate 32. The second through hole 31 can limit the first baffle plate 22, limit the movement range of the upper plate 3, and prevent the upper plate 3 from being separated from the lower plate 2. Specifically, the outer dimensions of the first baffle plate 22 match the inner diameter of the second through hole 31. When the first baffle plate 22 is clamped in the second through hole 31, the second through hole 31 moves linearly relative to the first baffle plate 22, so that the upper plate 3 moves linearly relative to the lower plate 2, which facilitates the relative clamping of the first clamping surface 23 and the second clamping surface 33, thereby improving the clamping stability.

[0039] The height of the second baffle plate 32 is equal to the thickness of the upper plate 3, which can reduce the overall height of the upper plate and save space. The height of the second baffle plate 32 is also equal to the height of the first baffle plate 22, so that the height of the first clamping surface 23 is equal to the height of the second clamping surface 33, which is convenient for balancing the force on the battery when clamping the battery and enhancing the clamping stability.

[0040] See also Figure 3 The first clamping surface 23 and the second clamping surface 33 are both arc-shaped surfaces that fit the side wall of the battery, further enhancing the clamping effect. In another embodiment, the first clamping surface 23 and the second clamping surface 33 can also be planes, and elastic pads are provided on the first clamping surface 23 and the second clamping surface 33. When clamping the battery, the elastic pads are pressed and depressed, and can also wrap the battery to balance the force on the battery and enhance the clamping stability.

[0041] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the upper plate 3 and the lower plate 2 are both provided with corresponding strip holes A, the length direction of the strip holes A is consistent with the horizontal movement direction of the upper plate 3, and the bottom of the receiving cavity is provided with a limiting hole 18 corresponding to the strip hole A; after the locking member passes through the strip hole A, it presses the upper plate 3 and is fixed to the limiting hole 18. The locking member presses the upper plate 3 to limit the relative movement of the upper plate 3 and the lower plate 2, so as to achieve the clamping of the battery. Specifically, the limiting hole 18 is a screw hole, and the locking member is a locking screw. The locking screw is screwed into the screw hole, and the screw head of the locking screw presses the upper plate 3 to achieve the locking of the upper plate 3 and the lower plate 2. In another embodiment, the limiting hole 18 is an ordinary through hole that passes through the bottom of the frame 1, and the locking member is a bolt. After the bolt passes through the strip hole A and the limiting hole 18 in sequence, the bolt is locked by a nut.

[0042] Please also read Fig.11 , a plurality of heightening columns 4 are provided at the bottom of the receiving cavity of the frame 1, and the lower plate 2 is provided on the top of the heightening columns 4. The heightening columns 4 can be used to raise the height of the upper plate 3 and the lower plate 2 from the bottom of the receiving cavity. The heightening columns 4 of different heights can be replaced according to the length of the battery, so that the upper plate 3 and the lower plate 2 can clamp the end of the battery to enhance the clamping stability. The frame 1 is also provided with a groove 19 for limiting the heightening columns 4, and the heightening columns 4 are provided in the groove 19. Specifically, one lower plate 2 is supported by five heightening columns 4, and the heightening columns 4 are respectively provided in the middle and surrounding parts of the lower plate 2 to improve the stability of supporting the lower plate 2. In other embodiments, the number of the heightening columns 4 can also be 4, 6 or other numbers.

[0043] The heightening column 4 is located above the limiting hole 18, and the heightening column 4 is provided with a through hole 41, and the through hole 41 is on the same axis as the limiting hole 18. The upper plate 3, the lower plate 2 and the heightening column 4 can be locked by the locking member, and no additional locking assembly is required to lock the heightening column 4, thereby reducing assembly steps and improving production efficiency. In addition, the heightening column 4 is arranged above the limiting hole 18, which can further limit the locking member and enhance the locking effect.
