[0034] The utility model aims at the problem of complex structure of battery transport equipment in the prior art and provides a battery transport equipment, a battery transport system and a battery exchange station.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an optional embodiment of the utility model provides a battery transport device, comprising:

[0036] Equipment frame 1;

[0037] A roller platform 2 is connected to the equipment frame 1, and a plurality of rollers 21 arranged in parallel are arranged on the roller platform 2;

[0038] The transmission mechanism includes a telescopic assembly 31 connected to the roller platform 2, and the telescopic assembly 31 is provided with a claw 311 for clamping the power battery; wherein the telescopic assembly 31 is extended or retracted relative to the roller platform 2 to drive the power battery to move on the roller 21;

[0039] The lifting mechanism 4 is installed on the equipment frame 1 and connected to the roller platform 2 to drive the roller platform 2 to rise or fall relative to the equipment frame 1.

[0040] In the embodiment of the utility model, the power battery is clamped by the claw 311 of the telescopic component 31, and the power battery can move on the roller platform 2 driven by the telescopic component 31. Since a plurality of parallel rollers 21 are provided on the roller platform 2, the rollers 21 can roll freely. Therefore, when used in conjunction with the roller platform 2, the telescopic component 31 only needs a small driving force to drive the power battery to move on the roller platform 2, thereby realizing the movement and transportation of the power battery.

[0041] As an optional embodiment, the telescopic assembly 31 includes:

[0042] At least one pair of telescopic arms, one end of each of the telescopic arms is provided with the clamping claw 311 .

[0043] Specifically, each pair of telescopic arms includes two telescopic arms that are arranged opposite to each other. If the telescopic assembly 31 includes more than two pairs of telescopic arms, the claws 311 are respectively provided at opposite ends of the two telescopic arms that are farthest apart, or the claws 311 are provided at the first end of the telescopic arm that is farthest from the roller platform 2, and the first end is the end that is away from the roller platform 2.

[0044] If the telescopic assembly 31 includes a pair of telescopic arms, the first ends of the two oppositely disposed telescopic arms are provided with the clamping claws 311 , and the first ends are the ends away from the roller platform 2 .

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, the telescopic assembly 31 includes two pairs of telescopic arms, each pair of telescopic arms includes two oppositely arranged telescopic arms, where one pair of telescopic arms can be referred to as primary telescopic arms 312 , and the other pair of telescopic arms can be referred to as secondary telescopic arms 313 .

[0046] The claw 311 is disposed at the first end of the primary telescopic arm 312 .

[0047] Preferably, the first end of the primary telescopic arm 312 and the second end of the secondary telescopic arm 313 are respectively provided with the clamping claws 311 , and the first end of the primary telescopic arm 312 and the second end of the secondary telescopic arm 313 are opposite ends.

[0048] Of course, those skilled in the art may also set the number of telescopic arms included in the telescopic assembly 31 according to actual needs, which is not limited here.

[0049] In the embodiment of the utility model, the telescopic assembly 31 has the advantages of simple structure and low cost.

[0050] As an optional embodiment, the length of the at least one pair of telescopic arms is equal to the width of the power battery.

[0051] In the embodiment of the utility model, the length of the at least one pair of telescopic arms is equal to the width of the power battery, so that the claws 311 can clamp the two outer walls of the power battery.

[0052] like Figure 5 As shown, the telescopic assembly 31 includes two pairs of telescopic arms, and the sum of the lengths of the primary telescopic arm 312 and the secondary telescopic arm 313 is equal to the width of the power battery. In other words, the length of at least one pair of telescopic arms included in the telescopic assembly 31 should be designed to correspond to the width of the power battery, so that the claws 311 can just clamp the two opposite outer walls of the power battery.

[0053] As an optional embodiment, a receiving space is formed on both sides of the roller platform 2;

[0054] The transmission mechanism further includes a first driving structure disposed in the accommodating space, wherein the first driving structure is connected to the telescopic assembly 31;

[0055] The first driving structure is used to drive the telescopic assembly 31 to extend or retract into the corresponding accommodation space relative to the roller platform 2.

[0056] In an embodiment of the utility model, the roller platform 2 includes a plurality of rollers 21 arranged in parallel, a roller frame 22 and a platform frame 23; the plurality of rollers 21 are installed on the roller frame 22; the accommodating spaces are respectively provided on both sides of the roller frame 22 to accommodate the telescopic assembly 31; the roller frame 22 is installed on the platform frame 23, and the roller platform 2 is connected to the equipment frame 1 through the platform frame 23.

[0057] The first driving structure may be a motor, and the telescopic component 31 is driven by a motor. Since a plurality of parallel rollers 21 are provided on the roller platform 2, the rollers 21 can roll freely, and the telescopic component 31 only requires a small force to drive the power battery to move on the roller platform 2. Therefore, the motor only needs to output a small torque to drive the telescopic component 31 to drive the power battery to move on the roller platform 2.

[0058] Accommodation spaces are respectively provided on both sides of the roller platform 2, and the telescopic assembly 31 can be extended from the accommodating space or retracted into the accommodating space by being driven by the first driving structure.

[0059] As an optional embodiment, the telescopic assembly 31 is provided with a second driving structure, and the second driving structure is connected to the claw 311 , and the second driving structure drives the claw 311 to extend or retract relative to the telescopic assembly 31 .

[0060] It should be noted that the telescopic component 31 drives the claw 311 to extend out of the surface of the telescopic component 31 or retract into the internal space of the telescopic component 31 through the second driving structure. Therefore, when the telescopic component 31 approaches the battery holder for storing the power battery, it will not collide with the battery holder or the power battery.

[0061] As an optional embodiment, the lifting mechanism 4 includes:

[0062] A lifting sprocket is arranged on the top of the equipment frame 1;

[0063] A lifting chain is meshed and connected with the lifting sprocket and fixedly connected with the roller platform 2;

[0064] The third driving structure is arranged on the top of the equipment frame 1 and is connected to the lifting sprocket.

[0065] In an embodiment of the utility model, the lifting sprocket is driven to rotate by the third driving structure, and the lifting chain meshing with the lifting sprocket can drive the roller platform 2 to rise or fall relative to the equipment frame 1. In this way, the battery transfer equipment can transfer power batteries located at different heights.

[0066] It should be noted that the lifting mechanism 4 of the embodiment of the utility model can also adopt other structural forms, such as a screw lifting structure, etc., which is not limited here.

[0067] An embodiment of the utility model further provides a battery transport system, comprising the battery transport device as described in any one of the above items, and also comprising a battery bracket.

[0068] The battery transport system provided by the embodiment of the utility model includes the battery transport equipment as described above. All embodiments of the above-mentioned battery transport equipment are applicable to the battery transport system and can achieve the same or similar beneficial effects, which will not be repeated here.

[0069] As an optional embodiment, the battery holder is provided with a plurality of roller support frames, and the roller support frames are used for storing power batteries.

[0070] It should be noted that the roller support frame is provided with a plurality of rollers arranged in parallel, so that the telescopic assembly 31 only needs a small driving force to drive the power battery to move on the roller support frame and the roller platform.

[0071] Next, the application scenario of the battery transport system described in the embodiment of the utility model is described.

[0072] When it is necessary to transport the power battery stored on the battery holder, the height of the telescopic assembly 31 in the vertical direction is adjusted by the lifting mechanism. The purpose of the adjustment is to move the telescopic assembly 31 to the bottom of the corresponding power battery, and the roller platform 2 needs to be flush with the roller support frame where the power battery is located. Then, at least one pair of telescopic arms of the telescopic assembly 31 is extended toward the power battery under the drive of the first driving structure, and after the claws 311 of the at least one pair of telescopic arms clamp the power battery, the first driving structure drives the at least one pair of telescopic arms to retract, and the gravity of the power battery acts on the roller support frame and the roller platform 2, and the power battery is moved from the roller support frame to the roller platform 2, so that the battery transport equipment can carry the power battery for further transportation, such as moving the power battery to the battery replacement tooling.

[0073] An embodiment of the utility model further provides a battery swap station, comprising a battery transport system as described in any one of the above items.
