The first end of the cable is connected to the winch 161, and the second end of the cable bypasses the fixed pulley 162 and the movable pulley 163 and is connected to the top of the lifting frame 110. When the winch 161 is started, the cable winds around or unwinds from the winch 161, so that the cable drives the carrying platform 120 to lift or lower in the vertical direction D1 through the fixed pulley 162 and the movable pulley 163. The arrangement of the lifting assembly 160 has stable transmission and is convenient for maintenance.

[0055] Referring to Figure 1 , the transfer device includes at least two lifting assemblies 160. The at least two lifting assemblies 160 are arranged on both sides of the carrying platform 120 along the second horizontal direction D3, so as to stably lift or lower the carrying platform 120, make the carrying platform 120 more stable during the lifting or lowering process, and prevent the battery from falling off the carrying platform 120.

[0056] As an alternative, the lifting assembly 160 can also be configured as an electric hoist. The lifting assembly 160 is disposed on the lifting frame 110 and connected to the carrying platform 120.

For example, the sliding member 131 can be a flow bar or a bull's eye caster. The sliding member 131 is preferably provided with at least two, so as to support the battery more stably. When the battery is disposed on the carrying platform 120 through the sliding member 131, the friction force received by the battery is rolling friction, which is easy to be driven. In addition, the distance between the sliding members 131 (i.e., the distance between the sliding members 131 along the second horizontal direction D3).

[0059] The linear driving member 132 is disposed on the carrying platform 120, for pushing and pulling the battery, so as to drive the battery to move along the first horizontal direction D2 to the position to be transferred. The linear driving member 132 can be a linear motor, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod, all of which can drive the battery along the first horizontal direction D2.

[0060] Optionally, a push block 133 and a chain are disposed at the output end of the linear driving member 132. The linear driving member 132 can push the battery through the push block 133, so as to reduce the damage to the battery.

The first end of the boom 141 is pivotally connected to the lifting frame 110 about the second rotation axis AX2, and the second end of the boom 141 is connected to the hoisting member 142. The hoisting member 142 is used for hoisting the battery in the vertical direction D1, so as to transfer and lift the battery onto the carrying platform 120, or lift and place the battery on the carrying platform 120 to the ground, thus reducing the labor intensity of the operator.

[0062] Optionally, the hoisting member 142 may be an electric hoist, a winch 161 or a manual manipulator mechanism, all of which can realize the hoisting of the battery.

[0063] Furthermore, the boom 141 is connected to the first bracket 111 of the lifting frame 110, so that it can be free from the interference of the folding of the lifting frame 110 and will not increase the difficulty of the folding operation of the lifting frame 110.

[0064] Optionally, the vehicle body 100 is further provided with support legs 101.
