[0023] The battery cell bracket 3 includes a shaft 31, a connecting rod 32, and a supporting plate 33. The shaft 31 is rotatably connected to the base 2. Several connecting rods 32 are fixedly connected to the shaft 31 in sequence, and the bottom ends of the several connecting rods 32 are all fixed on the supporting plate 33.

[0025] When the rack moving cylinder 43 drives the rack 41 to move linearly, the rack 41 can drive the gear 42 meshing with it to rotate, and the gear 42 will drive the shaft 31 to rotate, and then drive the support plate 33 to swing. When the two shafts 31 rotate in opposite directions, the two battery brackets 3 can be opened and closed.
