It centrally stores, charges, and uniformly distributes a large number of batteries through a centralized charging station, and provides battery replacement services for electric vehicles in the battery distribution station. In the power exchange station, a crane plays an important role. It is mainly used for the handling, hoisting, and unloading of new energy batteries, and for the replacement and maintenance of new energy batteries in the power exchange station, greatly improving the work efficiency and accuracy.
[0003] However, in the existing cranes of power exchange stations, generally, a wire rope is used to lift a spreader. The wire rope is wound around a reel, and the reel is rotated by a motor to perform the operations of taking in and paying out the wire rope. The motor and the reel are connected through a speed reducer. Generally, there is only one contact point between the existing speed reducer and the reel, resulting in poor structural strength of the speed reducer, which will affect the normal operation of the equipment after long-term use.
[0004] In addition, most of the existing power exchange station structures adopt a container structure. Most of the cranes are large in volume, occupying a large space when installed in a container, resulting in a large volume of the container, which virtually increases the transportation difficulty, as well as the material and transportation costs.

[0024] Among them, the hanging frame has a rectangular box structure.
[0025] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are:

Therefore, the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0037] Embodiment 1:
[0038] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, a reduction mechanism 1 of the present invention includes: a housing 11, an input shaft 12, an output shaft 13, a first reduction gear assembly 14, and a second reduction gear assembly 15.

The second reduction gear assembly 15 includes a second gear 152 and two second pinions 151. The two second pinions 151 are meshed with the second gear 152.
[0039] As Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, in the present utility model, the number of the second pinions 151 is two. The two second pinions 151 are simultaneously meshed with the second large gear 152, so that there are two meshing points between the second large gear 152 and the second pinions 151, that is, there are two contact points, increasing the number of teeth meshed simultaneously and improving the smoothness of transmission. The two second pinions 151 are simultaneously meshed with the second large gear 152, which can disperse the load, improve the load-bearing capacity of the gears, increase the structural strength of each gear of the second reduction gear assembly 15, enabling it to bear a greater load, and can improve the reliability of the entire transmission system.

[0046] Among them, in order to be able to adjust the spreader in multiple directions, the connecting frame 2 includes a first guide rail 21 and a sliding frame 22 slidably connected to the first guide rail 21. The telescopic frame 3 is slidably connected to the sliding frame 22, and the sliding direction of the telescopic frame 3 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding frame 22, enabling the telescopic boom crane to extend and adjust in two perpendicular directions (i.e., the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction). It can be adjusted in multiple directions by one crane, simplifying the structure and saving space on the premise of realizing multi-directional adjustment. In this embodiment, the first guide rail 21 includes two parallel and oppositely arranged rail bars, and the sliding frame 22 is slidably connected between the two rail bars of the first guide rail 21. On both sides of the upper part of the sliding frame 22 along the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the first guide rail 21, sliding seats 23 are fixedly connected. Rollers are rotatably connected to the sliding seats 23, and sliding grooves for slidably cooperating with the rollers are formed in the corresponding rail bars. A first motor 24 is arranged between the two sliding seats 23. The output shaft of the first motor 24 is fixedly connected to a double-shaft output reduction gearbox. The two output shafts of the double-shaft output reduction gearbox are respectively connected to the corresponding sliding seats 23 through shaft rods 25. One end of the shaft rod 25 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 24 through a universal coupling, and the other end of the shaft rod 25 is connected to the sliding seat 23 through a universal coupling, which can ensure that the first motor 24 can stably drive the sliding frame 22 to slide. The connection structure between the sliding frame 22 and the first guide rail 21 adopts a transmission structure in which a gear 92 meshes with a rack 91. Specifically, a gear is rotatably connected to the sliding seat 23, the gear 92 is connected to the corresponding shaft rod 25 through a universal coupling, and a rack 91 for meshing with the gear 92 is arranged on the corresponding rail bar of the first guide rail 21. The axial direction of the rack 91 is parallel to the axial direction of the first guide rail 21, so that the rotation of the two gears 92 can be adjusted simultaneously with the simplest structure, making the transmission structure more compact and the transmission structure more stable.
[0047] As Figure 4 , Figure 5 shown, the telescopic frame 3 is slidably connected to the connecting frame 2. The sliding direction of the telescopic frame 3 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding frame 22. In this embodiment, the telescopic frame 3 includes two parallel telescopic arms 31. A plurality of rollers are rotatably connected to both sides of the telescopic frame 3 perpendicular to its sliding direction, and sliding grooves for slidably cooperating with the rollers are formed on each telescopic arm.

Specifically, a rack 91 is fixedly arranged on one of the telescopic arms. The axial direction of the rack 91 is parallel to the axial direction of the telescopic arm. A gear 92 for meshing with the rack 91 is rotatably connected to the corresponding side of the sliding frame 22, and a second motor 32 is installed on the sliding frame 22. The second motor 32 drives the gear 92 to rotate through a reducer.
[0048] The hoisting device 4 is connected to the lifting appliance 6 through a steel wire rope 7 to adjust the lifting of the lifting appliance 6. The hoisting device 4 includes a hanging bracket 41 slidably connected to the telescopic frame 3 and a wire reel 42 for winding the steel wire rope 7 (as Figure 3 shown). The reduction mechanism 1 is arranged inside the hanging bracket 41. The wire reel 42 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the output shaft 13 of the reduction mechanism 1. The lifting appliance 6 can adopt the lifting appliance in the prior art and does not belong to the innovation point of the present utility model. In this embodiment, the housing 11 of the reduction mechanism 1 has an L-shaped housing structure. The height of the side of the housing 11 where the second large gear 152 is installed is less than the height of the side of the first output member (i.e., the first conical large gear 142) of the housing 11, that is, the top surface of the side of the housing 11 where the second large gear 152 is installed is lower than the top surface of the side of the first output member of the housing 11. In this embodiment, the top surface of the side of the housing 11 where the second large gear 152 is installed is called the high surface of the housing 1, and the top surface of the side of the first output member of the housing 11 is called the low surface of the housing 1. The wire reel 42 is arranged on the low surface of the housing 11 of the reduction mechanism 1. The bottom end of the wire reel 42 is fixedly connected to the top end of the output shaft 13. The central axis of the wire reel 42 is vertically arranged. Four wire grooves 421 are axially formed in the wire reel 42, and each wire groove 421 is correspondingly wound with a steel wire rope 7. In this embodiment, four fixed pulleys 44 are rotatably connected at the four corners inside the hanging bracket 41. One end of the steel wire rope 7 is fixedly connected to the corresponding wire groove 421 of the wire reel 42. After the other end is wound around the corresponding wire groove 421 for multiple turns, it bypasses the corresponding fixed pulley 44 and is fixedly connected to the lifting appliance 6. In the present utility model, multiple wire grooves 421 are formed in the wire reel 42 to wind multiple steel wire ropes. The winding of multiple steel wire ropes is realized through one wire reel, replacing the existing structural design that requires multiple wire reels to wind multiple steel wire ropes, reducing the number of transmission structures, realizing the simultaneous adjustment of the winding and unwinding of multiple steel wire ropes, achieving the consistency of the winding and unwinding of multiple steel wire ropes, and the reduction of components also effectively saves the occupied space and makes the structure more compact. The driving motor 5 is fixedly connected to the input shaft 12 of the reduction mechanism 1. In this embodiment, the driving motor 5 is fixedly connected to the input shaft 12 of the reduction mechanism 1 through a planetary speed reducer 8, and the planetary speed reducer 8 is a standard planetary speed reducer in the prior art. The hanging bracket 41 has a rectangular box structure. The driving motor 5, the reduction mechanism 1, the wire reel 42, and the fixed pulley 44 of the first embodiment are all arranged inside the box structure, which not only makes the structure more compact and effectively saves space, but also is beautiful. Through the combination of the reduction mechanism 1, the connecting frame 2, the telescopic frame 3, the hoisting device 4, and the driving motor 5, the present utility model realizes the compression of the entire device in the height space.
[0049] As Figure 4As shown, rollers are rotatably connected to the opposite sides of the hanger 41, and sliding grooves for slidably connecting with the rollers are formed in the telescopic arms 31 on the corresponding sides of the telescopic frame 3. The connection structure between the hanger 41 and the telescopic frame 3 adopts a transmission structure in which a gear 92 meshes with a rack 91. Specifically, a rack 91 is fixedly arranged on another telescopic arm 31, the axial direction of the rack 91 is parallel to the axial direction of the telescopic arm 31, a third motor 43 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the hanger 41, and the third motor 43 is connected through a speed reducer to a gear 92 for meshing with the rack 91 of another telescopic arm 31. In the present utility model, by adjusting the sliding of each structure through the meshing of the gear 92 and the rack 91, the sliding can be made more stable, and the problem of oil leakage in the hydraulic cylinder drive can be avoided. In addition, between the first guide rail 21 and the sliding frame 22, between the sliding frame 22 and the telescopic frame 3, and between the telescopic frame 3 and the hanger 41 of the present application, sliding cooperation is realized through rollers and sliding grooves, and transmission connection is realized through the meshing of the gear 92 and the rack 91. The combination of the two realizes the detachable modular connection between each structure, so that each module can be separated first and then transported, reducing the transportation difficulty and transportation cost.
