[0009] Figure 2 is the structural schematic diagram of the limit vertical column and the linkage rod of the utility model. Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment

[0010] The following is a detailed description of the utility model with reference to the drawings:

[0011] A general-purpose battery pack transfer pallet, comprising a horizontally arranged "day"-shaped frame 1. On the rear cross beam 2, the middle cross beam 3 and the front cross beam 4 of the "day"-shaped horizontal frame 1, support columns 5 are evenly spaced. The top surfaces of the support columns 5 are on the same horizontal plane, and these spaced support columns 5 are used to support battery packs of different sizes. On the left side of the "day"-shaped horizontal frame 1, a left longitudinal guide rail 6 is arranged in the front-rear direction. On the right side of the "day"-shaped horizontal frame 1, a right longitudinal guide rail 7 is arranged in the front-rear direction. In the middle of the "day"-shaped horizontal frame 1 on the right side of the right longitudinal guide rail 7, a right transverse guide rail 8 is arranged in the left-right direction. A left central axis seat 9 is arranged at the middle position of the left longitudinal guide rail 6. A left central axis 10 is arranged in the left central axis seat 9. The left central axis 10 can rotate self-reliantly relying on the left central axis seat 9. A left swing rod 11 is fixedly connected to the left central axis 10. The middle part of the left swing rod 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the left central axis 10 and can rotate like the pointer of a clock. A left rear connecting rod 12 is hinged to the rear end of the left swing rod 11. The other end of the left rear connecting rod 12 is hinged to a left rear slider 13. The left rear slider 13 is movably arranged at the rear end of the left longitudinal guide rail 6. A left rear limit vertical rod 14 is arranged on the left rear slider 13. A left front connecting rod 15 is hinged to the front end of the left swing rod 11. The other end of the left front connecting rod 15 is hinged to a left front slider 16. The left front slider 16 is movably arranged at the front end of the left longitudinal guide rail 6. A left front limit vertical rod 17 is arranged on the left front slider 16. A right middle slider 18 is movably arranged on the right transverse guide rail 8. A right middle limit vertical rod 19 is arranged on the right middle slider 18. A battery pack is arranged between the left rear limit vertical rod 14, the left front limit vertical rod 17 and the right middle limit vertical rod 19. When the left rear slider 13 moves back and forth along the left longitudinal guide rail 6, the left rear slider 13 pushes the left swing rod 11 to rotate through the left rear connecting rod 12. The rotation of the left swing rod 11 drives the left front slider 16 to move back and forth along the left longitudinal guide rail 6 through the left front connecting rod 15, thereby realizing the synchronous movement of the left rear slider 13 and the left front slider 16 in the opposite or same direction, and realizing the positioning and limiting of the battery pack on the bracket by the left rear limit vertical rod 14 and the left front limit vertical rod 17.

[0012] On the right longitudinal guide rail 7, there is a swing rod and a limit rod mechanism with the same structure as that on the left longitudinal guide rail 6. The two sets of longitudinal limit mechanisms jointly complete the positioning and limiting of the battery pack on the bracket. On the I-shaped horizontal frame 1 in front of the right transverse guide rail 8, there is a transverse limit jack plate 20. On the transverse limit jack plate 20, there are evenly spaced transverse limit jacks 21. On the right middle slider 18, there is a transverse limit bolt 22, and the transverse limit bolt 22 is movably matched with the transverse limit jack 21. On the side vertical plate of the bottom longitudinal beam 23 of the left longitudinal guide rail 6, there are evenly spaced longitudinal limit jacks 24. On the left front slider 16, there is a limit vertical plate 25 connected. On the limit vertical plate 25, there is a longitudinal limit bolt 26, and the longitudinal limit bolt 26 is movably matched with the longitudinal limit jack 24. When the limit vertical rod is adjusted in place, its position is fixed through a limit pin.

[0013] Due to the large variety of battery pack models, with significant differences in size and weight, the I-shaped horizontal frame 1 is formed by welding profile rectangular tubes, having a certain rigidity and load-bearing strength. After welding, shaping is carried out, and the transfer contact surface and transfer hole plate need to be uniformly processed to ensure the smooth transfer of positioning accuracy. The support column 5 is screwed and fixed to each longitudinal beam of the I-shaped horizontal frame 1. The longitudinal guide rail and the transverse guide rail are fixed on the I-shaped horizontal frame 1. The I-shaped horizontal frame 1 is machined with an installation surface by a machine tool to ensure flatness and straightness. For different battery pack sizes, there are corresponding positioning pin holes on the I-shaped horizontal frame 1, and different battery packs are positioned by inserting different positioning pin holes.
