Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] See also Figures 1 to 5 The utility model provides a shared power bank battery warehouse, including a warehouse body 100 and a control device. The warehouse body 100 is provided with a plurality of power bank storage chambers 101. The control device is located between two adjacent power bank storage chambers 101. The power bank is placed in the power bank storage chamber 101. The control device can control the power banks stored in the power bank storage chambers 101 on both sides to be in an unlocked state or a locked state.

[0045] Specifically, the control device includes a locking assembly 2, a drive assembly 3, and an electronic control assembly 4. The drive assembly 3 includes a rotary drive unit and an elastic return element 31. The rotary drive unit is used to unlock the locking assembly 2, and the elastic return element 31 is used to lock the locking assembly 2. The electronic control assembly 4 includes a sensor 41 for detecting the position of the locking assembly 2, and a control board 42 fixed to the housing 100. The control board 42 is located on the side of the housing 100 away from the opening of the power bank storage chamber 101. The sensor 41 is inserted and fixed to the control board 42. By directly inserting the sensor 41 into the control board 42, the control device structure is more compact, thereby reducing the overall size of the shared power bank battery compartment. Moreover, compared to a wired connection, this solution provides a more stable connection between the sensor 41 and the control board 42, ensuring the stability of the sensor 41 detection signal transmission. It also reduces the loss of wires in the shared power bank battery compartment, lowering manufacturing and maintenance costs, and simplifying assembly.

[0046] Furthermore, a number of charging seats 43 are inserted and fixed on the control board 42; a through opening 102 is provided on the side of the compartment body 100 away from the power bank storage cavity 101, and the charging seat 43 passes through the through opening 102 and extends into the power bank storage cavity 101, and is then used to dock with the power bank to realize charging of the power bank.

[0047] In order to facilitate the use of the power bank, the control device also includes a pop-up mechanism 5 arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the power bank storage cavity 101; the pop-up mechanism 5 is used to push the power bank out of the power bank storage cavity 101, and the central axis of the pop-up mechanism 5 coincides with the central axis of the corresponding power bank storage cavity 101.

[0048] Specifically, a mounting opening 103 is provided on the housing 100 , and the pop-up mechanism 5 can be detachably mounted in the mounting opening 103 . The specific connection method can be a detachable connection method such as a snap connection, a threaded connection, or a screw fastener.

[0049] Specifically, the ejection mechanism 5 is configured as an elastically retractable structure, and when a power bank is installed in the power bank storage chamber 101, the ejection mechanism 5 is in a compressed state. Specifically, the ejection mechanism 5 can be configured as a spring-connected telescopic sleeve structure. Of course, in other embodiments, the ejection mechanism 5 can also be configured as an electric push rod structure controlled by the electronic control assembly 4.

[0050] Furthermore, the control board 42 is provided with a clearance groove 421 for installing the ejection mechanism 5. It can be seen that there is a gap between the clearance groove 421 and the ejection mechanism 5, thereby preventing the operation of the ejection mechanism 5 from affecting the components on the control board 42 and preventing damage to the components.

[0051] The shared power bank battery compartment also includes a communication board 6; the communication board 6 is fixed on the compartment body 100 and is connected to the control board 42 for communication, thereby enabling signal transmission between the control board 42 and the cloud server.

[0052] The locking assembly 2 and the driving assembly 3 can be configured in a variety of coordination modes, so as to achieve locking or unlocking of the power banks in the power bank storage cavities 101 on both sides.

[0053] See also Figures 2 to 5 In this embodiment, each locking assembly 2 corresponds to two sensors 41 .

[0054] Specifically, the locking assembly 2 includes a first locking portion 21 and a second locking portion 22 that are relatively movably connected, and the first locking portion 21 and the second locking portion 22 are both movably mounted on the housing 1 of the control device. The first locking portion 21 and the second locking portion 22 respectively control the unlocking or locking of the power banks in the two adjacent power bank storage cavities 101.

[0055] It should be understood that the first locking portion 21 and the second locking portion 22 are located on the same plane and each corresponds to a sensor 41. That is, one of the two sensors 41 is used to detect the position of the first locking portion 21, and the other detects the position of the second locking portion 22.

[0056] Specifically, the first locking portion 21 and the second locking portion 22 are both slidably installed on the shell 1, one end of the elastic return member 31 is connected to the first locking portion 21, and the other end is connected to the second locking portion 22, the center axis of the elastic return member 31 is parallel to the relative sliding direction of the first locking portion 21 and the second locking portion 22, and one end of the elastic return member 31 is abutted against or connected to the first locking portion 21, and the other end is abutted against or connected to the second locking portion 22.

[0057] Specifically, the first locking portion 21 includes a first locking tongue 211, a first extension 212, a first recess 213, a first protrusion 214, and a first guide rod 215. The second locking portion 22 includes a second locking tongue 221, a second extension 222, a second recess 223, a second protrusion 224, and a second guide rod 225. The first locking tongue 211 and the second locking tongue 221 each move into or out of their corresponding power bank storage cavity 101 to lock or unlock the battery. The first extension 212 and the second extension 222 extend toward their corresponding sensors 41. The sensors 41 determine the position of the first locking portion 21 or the second locking portion 22 by checking whether the first extension 212 or the second extension 222 is in a preset position. The first recess 213 and the second recess 223 form a cavity that accommodates the elastic return element 31. The elastic return element 31 is configured as a spring, with its ends respectively sleeved over the first protrusion 214 and the second protrusion 224. The first guide rod 215 and the second guide rod 225 are used to cooperate with the guide grooves provided on the housing 1 .

[0058] Furthermore, the rotary drive portion includes a drive shaft 32, a first protrusion 33, a transmission shaft 34, a second protrusion 35, a third protrusion 36, a fourth protrusion 37, a first matching block 38 and a second matching block 39; the drive shaft 32 is rotatably mounted on the housing 1 and driven by the motor, the first protrusion 33 is fixedly mounted on the drive shaft 32, and the second protrusion 35 is fixed on the transmission shaft 34; and the projection of the second protrusion 35 on the first protrusion 33 at least partially overlaps with the first protrusion 33; the third protrusion 36 and the fourth protrusion 37 are staggered and fixed on the transmission shaft 34, the third protrusion 36 pushes the first matching block 38 to slide by rotation; the fourth protrusion 37 pushes the second matching block 39 to slide by rotation; the first matching block 38 is fixed on the first locking portion 21 and is located on the side of the first locking portion 21 away from the first extension portion 212; the second matching block 39 is fixed on the second locking portion 22 and is located on the side of the second locking portion 22 away from the second extension portion 222.

[0059] From the above, it can be seen that the specific control process of the control device is as follows (for the convenience of description, Figure 4 The center left and right represent the left and right sides of the entire device):

[0060] When the starting position (i.e. Figure 5When the power bank in the left power bank storage cavity 101 is needed to be rented (i.e., the power bank controlled by the first locking portion 21), the cloud server sends a command to the electronic control component 4, which controls the motor to rotate, thereby driving the drive shaft 32 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the first protrusion 33 applies force to the second protrusion 35 from the right side of the second protrusion 35, driving the transmission shaft 34 to rotate clockwise. At this time, the third protrusion 36 installed on the transmission shaft 34 pushes the first matching block 38 to slide to the right. The first matching block 38 is fixedly connected to the first locking portion 21, thereby causing the first locking tongue 211 to slide away from its corresponding power bank storage cavity 101 and unlock. When the first extension 212 moves to the right to the middle position between the two sensors 41, the unlocking is completed, the infrared sensor is triggered, and the motor stops for a period of time. During this process, the pop-up mechanism 5 pushes the power bank to pop out for the user to take. It should be understood that after unlocking, the motor is in a stopped state, and the drive shaft 32 and the transmission shaft 34 remain in the current state for a certain period of time. The first lock tongue 211 always remains unlocked, making it convenient for the user to access the power bank. Afterwards (for example, the motor can be set to stop for a preset time or after the power bank is ejected), the motor drives the drive shaft 32 to rotate counterclockwise again until there is no longer a force between the first protrusion 33 and the second protrusion 35. The elastic reset member 31 drives the first locking portion 21 to reset to the locked state, the infrared sensor is triggered, and the motor stops running. Correspondingly, when it is necessary to rent the power bank in the power bank storage chamber 101 on the right side, the operation method is the same as above, so it will not be repeated.

[0061] In addition, it is worth mentioning that in another embodiment, the infrared sensor may not be triggered in the starting position (i.e., locked state), and the infrared sensor may be triggered after unlocking is completed, thereby controlling the motor operation state. The specific setting can be made according to actual conditions.

[0062] Example 2

[0063] See also Figures 6 to 8 Based on the above embodiment 1, the difference of this embodiment is that the first locking portion 21 and the second locking portion 22 of the locking assembly 2 are both rotatably mounted on the housing 1.

[0064] Specifically, a third protrusion 216 is provided on the end face of the first locking portion 21 facing the second locking portion 22, and a fourth protrusion 226 is provided on the end face of the second locking portion 22 facing the first locking portion 21. One end of the elastic return member 31 is sleeved on the third protrusion 216, and the other end is sleeved on the fourth protrusion 226. The shell 1 is also provided with a supporting seat 13 for supporting the elastic return member 31.

[0065] Taking the first locking portion 21 as an example, in this embodiment, the first locking portion 21 is rotatably mounted on the housing 1 via a rotating shaft, the first locking tongue 211 and the first extension portion 212 are located at one end of the first locking portion 21, and the first mating block 38 is located at the other end of the first locking portion 21.

[0066] In addition, it is worth mentioning that, since in the present embodiment, the first locking portion 21 and the second locking portion 22 are unlocked by swinging, therefore, in the present embodiment, the corresponding guide grooves corresponding to the first guide rod 215 and the second guide rod 225 are arranged in an arc shape (i.e., arranged along the movement trajectory of the first guide rod 215 and the second guide rod 225).

[0067] As can be seen from the above, in this embodiment, the specific control process of the control device is as follows. The difference from the first embodiment is that the first locking portion 21 and the second locking portion 22 are unlocked or locked by swinging.

[0068] The above-mentioned embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and replacements made by technicians in this field on the basis of the present invention fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
