DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, and the technical solutions of the present invention are further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and the following embodiments do not limit the utility model involved in the claims. In addition, not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are necessarily required for the solution of the utility model.
[0028] The principle and structure of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0029] Example
[0030] like Figure 1 、 2, 3, 4, 5, as shown in, a shared power bank locking assembly for a shared charging cabinet, used for locking the power bank 2 inserted into the shared charging cabinet compartment 1, the compartment 1 has a rectangular cross-section, and two opposite side walls of the compartment 1 are provided with two opposite sockets 3, the sockets 3 correspond to the card holes 21 on both sides of the power bank 2, the locking assembly includes a clamping claw, the clamping claw includes two relatively movable claw bodies 4, the claw body 4 includes a clamping head portion 41 slidingly matched with the socket 3 and a force-bearing portion 42 located on the outside of the compartment 1 parallel to the socket 3, the clamping head portion 41 is connected to the force-bearing portion 42 by a connecting portion 43, the force-bearing portion 42 is at right angles to the connecting portion 43, an elastic reset mechanism is connected between the two force-bearing portions 42, the elastic reset force of the elastic reset mechanism causes the two clamping claws to approach each other, so that the two clamping heads 41 are inserted into the socket 3, and then inserted into the card holes 21 on both sides of the power bank 2, thereby locking the power bank 2. The elastic return mechanism includes a positioning post 5 fixed relative to the bottom of the compartment 1. The positioning post 5 is connected to the force-bearing portions 42 of the two claws 4 via a cylindrical 8-shaped return spring 6, thereby generating relative tension on the two claws 4. The claw 4 is a rod, and the clamping portion 41, the force-bearing portion 42, and the connecting portion 43 are different parts of the rod.
[0031] The locking assembly further includes a pushing block 7 that can be moved in and out between the two force-bearing parts 42. The pushing block 7 has a pushing head 71, and opposite sides of the pushing head 71 have pushing inclined surfaces 711 corresponding to the two force-bearing parts 42. By controlling the telescopic movement of the pushing block 7 relative to the force-bearing parts 42 through an electromagnetic drive device, the pushing inclined surfaces 711 of the pushing head 71 can push the force-bearing parts 42, thereby moving the two force-bearing parts 42 away from each other, i.e., separating the two clamping claws from each other, thereby moving the clamping head 41 out of the socket 3, thereby releasing the power bank 2. At this time, the user can remove the power bank 2 from the compartment 1.
[0032] The positioning column 5 is located between the force-bearing parts 42 of the two claw bodies 4, and the pushing head 71 of the pushing block 7 is provided with a clearance notch 72 corresponding to the positioning column 5. The relative movement of the sliding fit between the positioning column 5 and the clearance notch 72 provides a guide for the movement of the pushing block 7, so that the pushing block 7 moves symmetrically about the positioning column 5, so that the two pushing inclined surfaces 711 of the pushing head 71 have the same pushing force on the two force-bearing parts 42 of a clamping jaw, so that the two clamps of a clamping jaw move synchronously.
[0033] The claw body 4 is an integrally formed rod body with multiple bends. The clamping portion 41 , the force-bearing portion 42 and the connecting portion 43 are bends at different locations of the rod body.
[0034] The pushing block 7 is provided with a slide groove 73 perpendicular to the moving direction of the pushing block 7, and a cylinder 8 is slidably fitted in the slide groove 73. The cylinder 8 is connected to the rocker arm 9, and the rocker arm 9 is connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 14. In this way, the swing of the rocker arm 9 is controlled by the rotation of the motor 14, so that the cylinder 8 drives the pushing block 7 to move telescopically relative to the force-bearing part 42, thereby realizing the pushing of the force-bearing part 42, and calmly making the two clamps separate or approach.
[0035] The locking assembly includes a rocker arm 9 position detection device, the rotating shaft is connected to the middle of the rocker arm 9, one end of the rocker arm 9 is connected to the cylinder 8, and the rocker arm 9 position detection device is used to detect the position change of the other end of the rocker arm 9. In this way, by detecting the position of this end of the rocker arm 9, the position of the cylinder 8 can be inferred, and thus whether the clamp is in an open or closed state can be detected.
[0036] The present invention comprises two parallel compartments 1, each of which is equipped with a claw body 4. The two opposing ends of the pushing block 7 each have a pushing head 71, which corresponds to the force-bearing portion 42 of the claw body 4 on the two parallel compartments 1. That is, the two ends of the pushing block 7 each have a pushing head 71 with two pushing inclined surfaces 711. Therefore, when the pushing block 7 moves toward the pushing head 71 at one end, the clamping jaws of the compartment 1 corresponding to each pushing head 71 are opened. When the pushing block 7 moves toward the pushing head 71 at the other end, the clamping jaws of the compartment 1 corresponding to each pushing head 71 are opened. In this way, the forward and reverse rotation of a motor 14 can control the swing arm 9 to swing toward different compartments 1, thereby opening the clamping jaws of different compartments 1, thereby achieving the locking or release of the power bank 2 in the two compartments 1 controlled by a single motor 14.
[0037] The position detection device of the pendulum rod 9 is a photoelectric sensor. The end of the pendulum rod 9 is provided with a blocking body 15 corresponding to the optical path of the photoelectric sensor. The photoelectric sensor of this embodiment is a slot-type optical coupler sensor 10. When the blocking body 15 blocks the optical path of the slot-type optical coupler sensor 10, it means that the cylinder 8 has not pushed the pushing block 7, that is, the clamping jaws have not been pushed open.
[0038] It also includes a positioning plate 11 fixed to the rear end of the compartment 1, the motor 14, the positioning column 5 and the control motor 14 are fixed on the positioning plate 11, and the positioning plate 11 is also provided with a first guide groove 111 for the movement of the claw body 4. The positioning plate 11 is also provided with a sealing cover 12, and the sealing cover 12 is connected to the top plate by bolts, and the components on the positioning plate 11 such as the motor 14 are snapped into the sealing cover 12 to protect these components.
[0039] A circuit board 13 is provided between the rear end of the compartment 1 and the positioning plate 11. The circuit board 13 is used to charge the power bank 2 in the compartment 1. The slot-type optical coupler sensor 10 is provided on the circuit board 13. The positioning plate 11 is electrically connected to the motor 14 through a wire, so as to control the operation of the motor 14 according to the command of the upper computer.
[0040] When the shared power bank locking assembly of this embodiment is used in a shared charging cabinet, for the convenience of assembly, the four compartments 1 share a positioning plate 11, and the four compartments 1 are fixedly connected together to form a power bank 2 storage module. Two motors 14 are provided on each positioning plate 11, and each motor 14 controls the locking or release of the power banks 2 in the two compartments 1 respectively.
[0041] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the present invention. Persons skilled in the art may make various modifications, additions, or substitutions to the described specific embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
