[0002] Energy storage battery packs are typically stacked in individual storage units within a container for ease of transport and management. Due to the heavy weight of the battery packs, they are typically loaded sequentially into the container's storage units using automated packing equipment.

[0003] Current automatic packing equipment includes a loading mechanism and a feeding mechanism. The feeding mechanism typically includes a fixed pick-up location. The feeding mechanism transports the battery packs to be packed to the pick-up location. The loading mechanism then picks up the battery packs from the pick-up location and places them into the corresponding storage unit. Obviously, the feeding mechanism of existing automatic packing equipment can only transport battery packs to a preset pick-up location. As the storage unit moves further away from the pick-up location, the travel required for the loading mechanism to move becomes longer and longer, resulting in low packing efficiency.

The battery pack loading device according to claim 4, characterized in that: The tidying assembly includes a second driving member, a first tidying member and a second tidying member, wherein: The first regulating member and the second regulating member can be arranged on opposite sides of the lifting member in the first horizontal direction so as to be close to or far away from each other. The driving end of the second driving member is connected to the first regulating member and / or the second regulating member, and the second driving member is configured to drive the first regulating member and the second regulating member to move closer to or away from each other. The second driving members of the two sets of the material receiving assemblies synchronously drive the corresponding first regularizing members and the second regularizing members to approach each other, so as to regularize the battery packs on the two lifting members in the first low position in the first horizontal direction.

6. The battery pack loading device according to claim 3, characterized in that: Each set of the material receiving assembly further includes a base frame and an adjustment assembly. The mounting frame can be slidably mounted on the base frame along the second horizontal direction. The adjustment assembly is configured to adjust the spacing between the two lifting members in the second horizontal direction.

7. The battery pack loading device according to claim 6, characterized in that: The adjustment assembly includes several sets of guide members and locking members, wherein: Each set of the guide members includes a linear guide rail and a slider, wherein the linear guide rail is fixed on the base frame and extends along the second horizontal direction, and the slider is fixed on the mounting frame and sleeved on the linear guide rail; The locking member is configured to fix or release the mounting bracket relative to the base bracket.

8. The battery pack loading device according to claim 2, characterized in that: The conveying mechanism also includes two sets of limiting components, which are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the carrier in the first horizontal direction, and the two sets of limiting components are configured to limit the battery pack on the carrier in the first horizontal direction.

9. The battery pack loading device according to claim 8, characterized in that: The limiting assembly includes a third driving member and a limiting member, wherein: The limiting member is movably mounted on the supporting member, the fixed end of the third driving member is mounted on the supporting member, the driving end of the third driving member is connected to the limiting member, and the third driving member is configured to drive the limiting member to move up and down to the second highest position or the second lowest position; The third driving member drives the limiting member to rise to the second high position, thereby driving the limiting member to abut against the bottom end of the side surface of the battery pack on the carrier extending along the second horizontal direction, so as to limit the battery pack on the carrier; The third driving member drives the limiting member to descend to the second low position, thereby driving the limiting member to leave the side surface of the battery pack on the carrier extending along the second horizontal direction, so as to release the limitation on the battery pack on the carrier.

10. The battery pack loading device according to claim 2, characterized in that: Auxiliary support members are detachably mounted on both ends of the bearing member in the second horizontal direction, and the bearing surface of the auxiliary support member and the bearing surface of the bearing member are located on the same horizontal plane.
