One or more guide columns are provided on each frame of the vehicle-mounted base. Each guide column is provided with a guide surface, and under the guiding action of the guide surfaces of the multiple guide columns, the battery box can be guided to accurately move to the set position during the installation process. After the battery box is guided to the set position by the guide column, the locking tongue device firmly locks the battery box on the vehicle-mounted base by mechanical locking.

[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiment of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a battery box locking mechanism, including a vehicle-mounted base 11 and a locking tongue device 12.

[0038] The vehicle base 11 is an important component of the vehicle, which is suitable for carrying the battery box, that is, the weight of the battery box is mainly borne by the vehicle base 11. The structure of the vehicle base 11 can be a rectangular frame, a trapezoidal frame, a polygonal frame, etc., and its material can be aluminum alloy or steel.

[0039] The lock tongue device 12 is suitable for locking or unlocking the battery box on the vehicle base 11. The lock tongue device 12 includes a lock tongue body 121, a transmission assembly 122 and a driving device 123. The lock tongue body 121 is provided in plurality. The transmission assembly 122 includes a power input part and at least two power output parts. The power input part is connected to the driving device 123. The at least two power output parts are connected to at least two lock tongue bodies 121 in a one-to-one correspondence, so that the driving device 123 drives at least two lock tongue bodies 121 to switch synchronously between the locked position and the unlocked position through the transmission assembly 122.

[0040] The battery box locking mechanism proposed in this embodiment can realize synchronous control of multiple lock tongue bodies 121 through a set of driving devices 123 combined with an efficient transmission assembly 122. Among them, the vehicle-mounted base 11 is used as a bearing platform for the battery box, and the design needs to consider the load-bearing capacity and stability to ensure the safety and stability of the battery box. The lock tongue body 121 adopts multiple designs, which are respectively arranged at the key connection points between the battery box and the vehicle-mounted base 11, and the battery box is fixed by a physical engagement or locking mechanism. The transmission assembly 122 includes a power input part and at least two power output parts, the former is connected to the driving device 123, and the latter is respectively connected to each lock tongue body 121 one by one, so as to realize efficient transmission and distribution of power. This design ensures that multiple lock tongue bodies 121 can synchronously respond to the instructions of the driving device 123 to achieve synchronous locking or unlocking. The driving device 123 is the power source of the entire locking mechanism. By controlling the transmission assembly 122, the lock tongue body 121 is driven to switch between the locking position and the unlocking position. In this embodiment, a plurality of lock tongue bodies 121 can be controlled simultaneously through a set of driving devices 123 , thereby avoiding the redundant design of separately equipping each lock tongue body 121 with a driving device 123 , and effectively reducing the production cost and manufacturing complexity.

[0041] In order to further improve the positioning accuracy and installation convenience of the battery box on the vehicle base 11, in a further embodiment, a first-level guide column 13 may be provided on the vehicle base 11. The first-level guide column 13 not only plays a supporting and positioning role, but also guides the battery box to automatically align and smoothly slide into a predetermined position during the placement process through its guiding inclined surface design.

[0042] The first-stage guide column 13 can be provided in multiple numbers, and is usually reasonably arranged according to the size and weight distribution of the battery box to ensure that the battery box can be fully supported and guided during placement. Each first-stage guide column 13 is provided with a lock hole, which cooperates with the lock tongue body 121. When the battery box is in place, the lock tongue body 121 can extend from the lock hole of the first-stage guide column 13 to the lock hole of the battery box to achieve locking of the battery box.

[0043] A guiding slope is arranged on the top of the first-stage guiding column 13, and the guiding slope plays a guiding role in the placement process of the battery box, so that the battery box can slide smoothly into the predetermined position along the guiding slope.

[0044] In this embodiment, each locking tongue device 12 corresponds to a pair of first-stage guide columns 13, and the power output part of each transmission assembly 122 is provided in a pair and connected to a pair of locking tongue bodies 121, respectively, and the pair of locking tongue bodies 121 are provided on a pair of first-stage guide columns 13 corresponding to the locking tongue device 12. This design ensures that when the driving device 123 of the locking tongue device 12 is started, the pair of locking tongue bodies 121 of the locking tongue device 12 can move synchronously, so as to realize the synchronous locking or unlocking of the battery box.

[0045] In a further embodiment, the transmission assembly 122 connected between the driving device 123 and the lock tongue body 121 includes a first connecting rod 1221, a second connecting rod 1222 and a third connecting rod 1223. The first connecting rod 1221 is connected to the output shaft of the driving device 123. The first ends of the second connecting rod 1222 and the third connecting rod 1223 are respectively hinged to the first connecting rod 1221, and the hinge points of the second connecting rod 1222 and the third connecting rod 1223 are symmetrically distributed with the output shaft of the driving device 123 as the symmetry center, and the second ends of the second connecting rod 1222 and the third connecting rod 1223 are respectively hinged to a pair of lock tongue bodies 121.

[0046] The first connecting rod 1221 is connected to the output shaft of the driving device 123. When the driving device 123 is started, its output shaft drives the first connecting rod 1221 to rotate, thereby transmitting power. The first ends of the second connecting rod 1222 and the third connecting rod 1223 are respectively hinged at different positions of the first connecting rod 1221. It is important that the two hinge points are symmetrically distributed with the output shaft of the driving device 123 as the symmetry center. This symmetrical design ensures that when the first connecting rod 1221 rotates, the second connecting rod 1222 and the third connecting rod 1223 can move at the same angle and speed, thereby achieving balanced transmission of power.

[0047] The second ends of the second connecting rod 1222 and the third connecting rod 1223 are respectively hinged to a pair of lock tongue bodies 121. This connection mode allows the lock tongue body 121 to perform telescopic movement along a predetermined trajectory after receiving the power transmitted by the connecting rod. Since the movement of the second connecting rod 1222 and the third connecting rod 1223 is synchronous, the lock tongue body 121 connected to them will also move synchronously, realizing synchronous locking or unlocking of the battery box.

[0048] Specifically, when the driving device 123 is started, its output shaft drives the first connecting rod 1221 to rotate. Since the first ends of the second connecting rod 1222 and the third connecting rod 1223 are hinged to the first connecting rod 1221, and the hinge points are symmetrically distributed with the output shaft of the driving device 123 as the symmetry center, the two connecting rods will move at the same angle and speed. Subsequently, they transmit power to the lock tongue body 121 through their respective second ends, driving the lock tongue body 121 to perform telescopic movement along a predetermined trajectory. Since all the lock tongue bodies 121 are connected to the driving device 123 through a similar connecting rod mechanism, they can move synchronously to achieve synchronous locking or unlocking of the battery box.

[0049] Of course, in other embodiments, the transmission assembly 122 may also be configured as other types. For example, it may be configured such that the same gear drives two racks to move simultaneously, and the two racks respectively drive the two lock tongue bodies 121 to move.

[0050] In a further embodiment, the vehicle base 11 is configured as a square structure, and four first-stage guide columns 13 are configured, and are respectively disposed at four corner positions of the vehicle base 11;

[0051] Two locking tongue devices 12 are provided, and each locking tongue device 12 includes a pair of locking tongue bodies 121 , which are respectively arranged on a pair of adjacent first-stage guide pillars 13 , and the driving device 123 is arranged at the middle position of the pair of first-stage guide pillars 13 .

[0052] In this embodiment, the vehicle base 11 is designed as a square structure. This design is not only easy to manufacture and install, but also provides a stable support surface to ensure the stability of the battery box during driving. There are four first-level guide columns 13, which are respectively installed at the four corners of the vehicle base 11. This layout can maximize the use of the space of the vehicle base 11, while ensuring that the battery box can be fully guided and supported during the placement process. Each first-level guide column 13 is equipped with a guide bevel and a lock hole. The guide bevel is used to guide the battery box into place accurately, and the lock hole cooperates with the lock tongue body 121 to realize the locking function.

[0053] The locking tongue device 12 is provided with two, and each locking tongue device 12 comprises a pair of locking tongue bodies 121. Each pair of locking tongue bodies 121 is respectively arranged on a pair of adjacent first-level guide columns 13, ensuring that the battery box can be effectively locked at the four corner positions. The driving device 123 is arranged in the middle position of a pair of first-level guide columns 13. This layout is not only convenient for power transmission, but also can reduce energy loss in the transmission process. At the same time, the position of the driving device 123 is also convenient for maintenance and overhaul. The driving device 123 is connected to the locking tongue body 121 through the transmission assembly 122 to realize the transmission of power and the synchronous action of the locking tongue body 121.

[0054] In a further embodiment, the drive device 123 includes a motor, a hydraulic motor or a pneumatic motor. Among them, the motor, as a widely used drive device 123, has the advantages of high control accuracy, fast response speed, and easy integration into electronic control systems. The motor drive also has the advantages of low noise and simple maintenance, and is suitable for occasions with high requirements for noise and vibration control.

[0055] A hydraulic motor is a device that converts liquid pressure energy into mechanical energy, and has the advantages of large torque, smooth transmission, and strong overload resistance. In the battery box locking mechanism, the hydraulic motor can convert the high-pressure oil output by the hydraulic pump into the driving force of the lock tongue body 121 through the hydraulic transmission system to achieve a secure locking of the battery box. Hydraulic motor drive is particularly suitable for occasions that need to withstand large loads or frequent starts and stops, such as heavy electric vehicles or battery box fixation in industrial equipment.

[0056] Pneumatic motors use compressed air as a power source. Pneumatic motors have the advantages of simple structure, light weight, and easy maintenance. At the same time, compressed air as a power source also has certain safety and environmental protection. In the battery box locking mechanism, pneumatic motors are suitable for occasions with strict requirements on weight and volume, such as the aerospace field or lightweight electric vehicles.

[0057] In a further embodiment, the guiding slope of the first-stage guiding column 13 includes a first guiding slope 131 and a second guiding slope 132 , wherein the first guiding slope 131 is suitable for guiding the battery box to move along the first direction, and the second guiding slope 132 is suitable for guiding the battery box to move along the second direction.

[0058] A first guide bevel 131 and a second guide bevel 132 are provided on the first-level guide column 13. The first guide bevel 131 and the second guide bevel 132 guide the movement of the battery box in different directions respectively. This design enables a single guide column to undertake the guiding task in two directions, thereby reducing the number of required guide columns and simplifying the overall structure. The lock tongue device 12 is responsible for the locking and unlocking operations of the battery box. When the battery box reaches the correct position under the guidance of the guide bevel, the lock tongue device 12 completes the locking action to ensure the stability of the battery box. In this solution, the lock tongue device 12 is provided on the first-level guide column 13. The integrated design of the guiding and locking functions enables a single component to undertake multiple tasks, thereby improving the utilization rate of the components and the compactness of the overall system.

[0059] In a further embodiment, the battery box locking mechanism further comprises:

[0060] A second-stage guide column 14, the second-stage guide column 14 is arranged on the vehicle-mounted base 11, and the top end of the second-stage guide column 14 is arranged in a conical structure;

[0061] And / or, the electrical connector 15 is suitable for being electrically connected to the battery box, the electrical connector 15 is provided with a third-level guide structure, and the electrical connector 15 is arranged in the middle position of the vehicle-mounted base 11 .

[0062] The cross section of the second-stage guide column 14 can be set to a square or circular structure. The second-stage guide column 14 can be connected to the vehicle-mounted base 11 by welding or screwing, and the axial direction of the second-stage guide column 14 is parallel to the axial direction of the first-stage guide column 13, and the axial length of the second-stage guide column 14 can be shorter than the axial length of the first-stage guide column 13.

[0063] In this way, on the basis of the first-level guide column 13 providing a basic guide path for the battery box, the second-level guide column 14 can further refine the guiding process. In particular, when the battery box is close to the locking position, the second-level guide column 14 can provide more precise guidance to help the battery box enter the locking position accurately. The top of the second-level guide column 14 is set to a conical structure, which helps the battery box to achieve a smooth transition during movement. When the battery box contacts the top of the cone, its shape can guide the battery box to gradually adjust its direction, reduce sudden impact and vibration, and thus protect the battery box and the locking mechanism from damage. The second-level guide column 14 not only has a guiding function, but also can enhance the stability of the battery box in the locked state. When the battery box is fully in the locking position and locked by the lock tongue device 12, the second-level guide column 14 can serve as an additional support point to prevent the battery box from shaking or shifting during driving.

[0064] In a further embodiment, the second-level guide posts 14 are provided in plurality, and the plurality of second-level guide posts are divided into at least a first row and a second row, and the second-level guide posts in the first row are arranged in a staggered manner with the second-level guide posts in the second row. For example, the second-level guide posts 14 in the first row and the second-level guide posts 14 in the second row can both be provided in two, and the two second-level guide posts in the first row are arranged in a staggered manner with the two second-level guide posts in the second row, that is, an asymmetrical arrangement.

[0065] In this way, the second-level guide column 14 is provided in plurality, and the plurality of second-level guide columns 14 can play a technical effect of secondary guidance. Moreover, since the second-level guide columns 14 in the first row and the second-level guide columns 14 in the second row are arranged in a staggered manner, a fool-proof design is formed, that is, when the battery box is installed in the opposite direction, since the second-level guide column 14 plays a fool-proof function, during the battery box placement process, the second-level guide column 14 and the guide hole on the battery box cannot correspond, and then the battery box is restricted and cannot be completely placed on the vehicle base 11, avoiding the problem of the reverse connection of the battery box electrical connector and the vehicle electrical connector 15.

[0066] In a further embodiment, the battery box locking mechanism further includes an electrical connector 15 . The electrical connector 15 is suitable for being electrically connected to the battery box, and is provided with a third-level guide structure. The electrical connector 15 is disposed in the middle of the vehicle-mounted base 11 .

[0067] The electrical connector 15 can realize the connection between the battery box and the vehicle's high electricity and / or low electricity. The vehicle base 11 is provided with an electrical connector 15 for connecting to the electrical connector of the battery box. In this embodiment, the electrical connector 15 is provided with a third-level guide structure. The third-level guide structure can be set as a trumpet structure at the upper end of the electrical connector 15. When the electrical connector of the battery box is docked with the electrical connector 15 on the vehicle base 11, the third-level guide structure can play a further guiding role to ensure that the electrical connector of the battery box is completely aligned with the electrical connector 15 on the vehicle base 11 to ensure the stability of the electrical connection between the two.

[0068] The embodiment of the utility model also provides an electric vehicle, including the battery box locking mechanism described in any of the above embodiments. With such a configuration, the electric vehicle provided by this embodiment can solve the problem of the complex structure of the battery box locking mechanism. The derivation process of this beneficial effect is generally similar to the derivation process of the beneficial effect brought about by the above battery box locking mechanism, and will not be repeated here.

[0069] Although the embodiments of the present invention are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations are all within the scope defined by the appended claims.
