[0019] The following embodiments of the technical solution of the present application are described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present application, and are therefore only used as examples, and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present application.

[0020] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, please refer to Figure 1-2 The battery rack conveying mechanism includes a conveying rack 1, a lifting mechanism, a driving mechanism, and a plurality of pairs of placement racks 2. The conveying rack 1 extends along the second direction D2. The lifting mechanism is arranged below the conveying rack 1, and is used to drive the conveying rack 1 to move up and down. The driving mechanism is arranged on the lifting mechanism, and is transmission-connected to the conveying rack 1, and is used to drive the conveying rack 1 to translate in the second direction D2. The plurality of pairs of placement racks 2 are arranged at intervals along the second direction D2, and each pair of placement racks 2 is respectively arranged on both sides of the conveying rack.

[0021] Multiple pairs of racks 2 are arranged at equal intervals in the second direction D2. The working principle of the battery rack conveying mechanism is: (1) Lifting step: the lifting mechanism lifts the conveying rack 1 to a level higher than the placing rack 2, and the conveying rack 1 holds up the battery rack on the placing rack 2; (2) Translation step: the driving mechanism drives the conveying rack 1 to move forward along the second direction D2, and transfers the battery rack forward to the top of the next placing rack 2; (3) Release step: when the battery rack moves to the top of the next placing rack 2, the driving mechanism stops moving, the lifting mechanism descends, and the battery rack is released on the placing rack 2; (4) Retraction step: the driving mechanism drives the conveying rack 1 backward in reverse. The battery rack can be transferred forward by cyclically executing the actions of lifting, translating, descending, and retreating.

[0022] In one embodiment, the conveying frame 1 includes a pair of conveying rods 3 extending along the second direction D2. Specifically, the pair of conveying rods 3 are arranged at the same height and are freely arranged on the lifting mechanism. Preferably, the two conveying rods 3 are independent of each other and are not connected to each other.

[0023] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The lifting mechanism includes a pair of first connecting rods 4, a plurality of second connecting rods 5 and a plurality of third connecting rods 6. The first connecting rods 4, the second connecting rods 5 and the third connecting rods 6 constitute a planar connecting rod mechanism, wherein each first connecting rod 4 extends along the second direction D2, and each first connecting rod 4 is provided with a plurality of second connecting rods 5 at intervals, and the first end 7 of the second connecting rod 5 is hinged to the corresponding first connecting rod 4, and one end of the third connecting rod 6 is hinged to the middle part of the second connecting rod 5, and the other end is rotatably arranged. There are two first connecting rods 4, and each first connecting rod 4 is connected to a plurality of second connecting rods 5. The lifting mechanism and the conveying frame 1 have a longer length in the second direction D2, and the length is related to the transmission distance. Please refer to Figure 4 The battery rack conveying mechanism includes a chassis 8, and the first end 7 of the second connecting rod 5 also has a roller 9, which is supported by the chassis 8 and can roll on the chassis 8. One end of the third connecting rod 6 is hinged at the middle position of the second connecting rod 5, and the other end is hinged on the chassis 8. By stretching the first connecting rod 4 along the second direction D2, the first connecting rod 4 is linearly moved along its extension direction on a fixed path, thereby causing the second connecting rod 5 and the third connecting rod 6 to rotate, resulting in a change in the height of the second end 10 of the second connecting rod 5, wherein the second end 10 is the end opposite to the first end 7 of the second connecting rod 5.

[0024] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 7 The two first connecting rods 4 are connected to each other and to the output end of a cylinder 17, and the output end of the cylinder 17 extends along the second direction D2. The cylinder 17 can drive the first connecting rod 4 to reciprocate linearly in the second direction D2.

[0025] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5The second end 10 of the second connecting rod 5 is provided with a bracket 11 ( Figure 5 The bracket 11 is hidden), and a transmission wheel 12 and a guide wheel 13 are provided on the bracket 11. The guide wheel 13 is located below the transmission rod 3, and the guide wheels 13 are respectively arranged on both sides of the transmission rod 3. The transmission rod moves linearly on the transmission wheel 12, and the guide wheel 13 limits the movement direction of the transmission rod to be along the second direction D2.

[0026] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 , racks 14 extending along the second direction D2 are respectively provided on the opposite inner sides of the transmission rod 3, and a gear 15 is provided below the rack 14, the rack 14 is meshed with the gear 15, and the gear 15 is transmission-connected to the motor 16. The motor 16 is installed on the lifting mechanism, for example, connected to the bracket 11. The length of the rack 14 is greater than the distance that the battery rack moves from one placement rack 2 to another placement rack 2. The forward and reverse rotation of the motor 16 can make the gear 15 rotate, driving the rack 14 and the transmission rod to reciprocate.

[0027] The above are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
