The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

The features defined as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish the feature names, rather than having special meanings. In addition, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0033] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a battery transport device, which includes a transport assembly 101 and a transfer vehicle 201. The battery is always installed on the transport assembly 101 during normal use and transportation. When the battery needs to be charged, the transport assembly 101 and the battery are transferred from the working position of the electrical equipment to the transfer vehicle 201, and then the transfer vehicle 201 is pushed to the charging area for charging. When the battery is fully charged, the transfer vehicle 201 is first pushed to the side of the electrical equipment, and then the transport assembly 101 and the battery are transferred to the working position of the electrical equipment to complete the installation of the battery.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, in some examples, the transport assembly 101 includes a support structure 102, which is generally formed in a plate shape, and the top of the support structure 102 is flat, so as to facilitate the placement of the battery. Furthermore, since the battery needs to be frequently transferred between the working position of the electrical equipment and the transfer vehicle 201 during use, in order to facilitate the transfer process, a roller 103 is provided at the bottom of the support structure 102, and rolling friction is used instead of sliding friction. The staff can complete the battery transfer process by pushing the transport assembly 101, thereby simplifying the difficulty of operation.

[0036] In some examples, a limiting assembly is provided on the support structure 102, and the limiting assembly defines a space for placing the battery on the support structure 102. The battery can be stably held on the support structure 102 under the blocking effect of the limiting assembly, thereby preventing the battery from shaking on the support structure 102 or even falling off the support structure 102. Under the limiting effect of the limiting assembly, the battery and the transport assembly 101 form a whole, which is conducive to the transfer of the transport assembly 101 together with the battery.

[0037] In some examples, the limiting assembly includes a limiting frame 104 , which is wrapped around the end of the battery and extends from the end edge of the battery to the side of the battery, thereby preliminarily limiting the horizontal position of the battery on the support structure 102 .

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, in some examples, the limiting assembly also includes a limiting structure 105. Based on the limiting frame 104, the limiting structure 105 also forms a covering effect on the battery at the other end of the battery, thereby further limiting the horizontal position of the battery on the supporting structure 102, so that the transport assembly 101 and the battery form a whole.

[0039] The limiting structure 105 is wrapped around the angle of the battery, and includes a first straight portion 106 and a second straight portion 107. The first straight portion 106 and the second straight portion 107 are connected at an angle to each other, so as to fit the angle of the battery. Specifically, the limiting structure 105 can be formed by bending a plate-like material, or the limiting structure 105 can be made of an angle steel material.

[0040] The transfer vehicle 201 is provided with a locking structure 202, which can lock the position of the transport component 101, thereby locking the position of the battery. Furthermore, the support structure 102 is provided with a locking hole 203, and the locking structure 202 can be inserted into the locking hole 203, thereby achieving a positioning effect. Among them, the transfer vehicle 201 is provided with a loading position, which is used to place the whole formed by the transport component 101 and the battery. It can be understood that the locking structure 202 can only be inserted into the locking hole 203 when the transport component 101 reaches the loading position.

[0041] In some examples, at least one supporting platform 204 is disposed on the transfer vehicle 201 , the supporting platform 204 is approximately horizontal, the loading position is disposed on the supporting platform 204 , and the locking structure 202 is also disposed on the supporting platform 204 .

[0042] Furthermore, the height of the support platform 204 is the same as the height of the battery compartment of the electrical equipment. When the battery needs to be charged, the transfer vehicle 201 is pushed to the side of the electrical equipment, and the battery compartment of the electrical equipment and the support platform 204 are docked with each other to form a straight channel for the movement of the transport component 101. At this time, the staff only needs to push the transport component 101 to move the whole formed by the transport component 101 and the battery to the loading position, which is convenient for operation.

[0043] Specifically, two supporting platforms 204 are arranged on the transfer vehicle 201, and there is a height difference between the two supporting platforms 204, so the transfer vehicle 201 can transport two batteries in a single transportation process.

[0044] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some examples, the locking structure 202 includes a base 301, a working part 302 and an operating part 303. The working part 302 is provided with an insertion part 306, and the working part 302 is movably connected to the base 301. The working part 302 can drive the insertion part 306 to insert into the locking hole 203 or disengage from the locking hole 203 during movement.

[0045] Furthermore, a hollow portion is provided on the working portion 302, and the inserting portion 306 includes a screw and a plurality of nuts, the screw passes through the hollow portion, and two nuts clamp the working portion 302 on the screw, thereby positioning the inserting portion 306 on the working portion 302. It is understandable that a gasket may be provided at the position where the nut contacts the working portion 302 to prevent the nut from directly contacting the working portion 302.

[0046] In some examples, the working portion 302 is rotatably connected to the base 301, and the working portion 302 switches between the initial state and the insertion state by rotating. When the working portion 302 is in the initial state, the insertion portion 306 is disengaged from the locking hole 203; when the working portion 302 is in the insertion state, the insertion portion 306 is inserted into the locking hole 203. It can be understood that in order to facilitate the insertion portion 306 to match the position of the locking hole 203, the working portion 302 extends in the direction of the loading position.

[0047] The operating part 303 is used to drive the working part 302 to rotate and maintain the initial state or the insertion state of the working part 302. The operating part 303 is rotatably connected to the working part 302, and the rotation of the operating part 303 can drive the working part 302 to rotate accordingly. In order to facilitate the staff to perform hand-held operation, the operating part 303 extends in a direction away from the loading position, and a handle is provided at the end of the operating part 303 for easy hand-holding.

[0048] In some examples, in order to keep the working part 302 in the initial state or the inserted state, the locking structure 202 further includes a connecting rod 304, and the two ends of the connecting rod 304 are rotatably connected to the operating part 303 and the base 301 respectively, so that the operating part 303 rotates around the base 301 on the premise of being connected to the connecting rod 304. At this time, the base 301, the operating part 303, the connecting rod 304 and the working part 302 can be regarded as a four-link 304 mechanism connected end to end. It can be understood that when the operating part 303 rotates in different directions, the connection position of the operating part 303 and the connecting rod 304 or the connection position of the operating part 303 and the working part 302 will be close to the base 301.

[0049] The base 301 is provided with a receiving notch 305. When the operating part 303 drives the working part 302 away from the locking hole 203, the connection part between the operating part 303 and the working part 302 is embedded in the receiving notch 305, and the connection part between the operating part 303 and the working part 302 can be kept in the receiving notch 305, so that the working part 302 is kept in the initial state. When the operating part 303 drives the working part 302 to approach the locking hole 203, the connection part between the operating part 303 and the connecting rod 304 enters the range of the receiving notch 305, so that the working part 302 is kept in the inserted state.

[0050] like Figure 6 As shown, in some examples, a plurality of positioning structures 205 are disposed on the support platform 204, and each positioning structure 205 is divided into two groups distributed in a straight line, and the distance between the two groups of positioning structures 205 is approximately equal to the width of the support structure 102, and the two groups of positioning structures 205 define the loading position. When the transport assembly 101 is on the support platform 204, the two groups of positioning structures 205 are respectively located on both sides of the support structure 102.

[0051] Specifically, the positioning structure 205 includes a third straight portion 206 and a fourth straight portion 207, which are connected at an angle to each other. The positioning structure 205 can be formed by bending a plate material, or the positioning structure 205 can be made of an angle steel material.

[0052] In some examples, casters 208 are provided at the bottom of the transfer vehicle 201 , and the casters 208 can improve the flexibility of the transfer vehicle 201 . When the staff pushes the transfer vehicle 201 , the casters 208 roll on the ground.

[0053] Among them, a brake structure is provided on the caster 208. When the transfer vehicle 201 moves to the target position, the staff can turn the brake structure to stop the caster 208 from rolling.

[0054] In the description of this specification, if the reference terms "one embodiment", "some examples", "some embodiments", "illustrative embodiment", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" appear, it means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0055] The above describes the implementation methods of the present application in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above implementation methods. Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present application.
