[0040] See also Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a commercial battery transfer tool, including a main frame 1, a winding device 2 and a sling 3. The main frame 1 includes a base 11 and a hanger 12, the base 11 is provided with wheels 4, the hanger 12 is connected to the base 11, and the hanger 12 is provided with a pulley 5. The winding device 2 is provided on the base 11, and a lifting rope 6 is wound around the winding device 2. The lifting rope 6 extends through the pulley 5 and then turns and extends. The sling 3 is connected to the free end of the lifting rope 6. The sling 3 has a hook 31, and the hook 31 is used to connect the battery pack 100. When the commercial battery transfer tool provided in the present application transfers the battery pack 100, the hook 31 is used to connect to the battery pack 100, the winding device 2 is started to wind the lifting rope 6 to lift the sling 3 and the battery pack 100, and the battery transfer tool is pushed to carry the battery pack 100 to the target location, and then the winding device 2 is started to release the lifting rope 6 to lower the battery pack 100 to the target location. The commercial battery transfer tooling provided in this application can be used to transfer and hoist a battery pack 100 using a single device, without the need for other equipment to assist. This not only reduces the equipment required for transferring the battery pack 100, but also reduces the steps required for transfer. Therefore, the use of the commercial battery transfer tooling provided in this application can significantly reduce the manpower, material resources, and time required for transferring the battery pack 100, thereby significantly reducing the cost of transferring the battery pack 100.

[0041] The wheels 4 provided on the base 11 can save effort when moving the battery transport tooling to the destination. The pulley 5 provided on the hanger 12, through which the lifting rope 6 passes, is connected to the sling 3. The pulley 5 reduces friction, making the lifting and lowering of the battery pack 100 smoother.

[0042] In one possible embodiment, the hanger 12 includes a vertical frame 121 and a horizontal frame 122. The vertical frame 121 is vertically connected to the base 11, and the horizontal frame 122 is connected to the top of the vertical frame 121. The pulley 5 is mounted on the horizontal frame 122. The vertical frame 121 increases the lifting height of the battery pack 100, thereby increasing the number of battery packs 100 that can be transported at one time. The horizontal frame 122 extends from the top of the base 11 toward the outside of the base 11, providing a space for accommodating the battery pack 100 and preventing interference between the battery pack 100 and the base 11.

[0043] In one possible embodiment, the main frame 1 includes a reinforcing plate 13 having a right triangle cross section, one right-angled side of the reinforcing plate 13 being connected to the base 11, and the other right-angled side being connected to the upright 121. The reinforcing ribs can enhance the connection strength between the base 11 and the upright 121.

[0044] In one possible embodiment, pulleys 5 are provided at both ends of the flat frame 122 along its length. The winding device 2 is provided on the base 11. The winding device 2 is relatively low relative to the flat frame 122. The battery pack 100 also needs to be lifted from a lower position toward the flat frame 122. The provision of two pulleys 5 in pairs changes the direction of movement of the lifting rope 6, allowing for smooth lifting of the battery pack 100 using a smaller space. Furthermore, the provision of two pulleys 5 can evenly distribute the weight of the heavy object, making the force applied more evenly, thereby increasing the load-bearing capacity of the heavy object. The two pulleys 5 can rotate freely, which can also reduce friction when the heavy object moves, thereby making the movement smoother.

[0045] In one possible embodiment, the winding device 2 is disposed on a side of the base 11 away from the vertical frame 121. After the battery pack 100 is lifted, the heavy weight of the battery pack 100 will press down on the horizontal frame 122. Placing the winding device 2 at the end away from the horizontal frame 122 can balance the pressure of the battery pack 100 on the horizontal frame 122 and prevent the base 11 from tipping over to the side of the battery pack 100.

[0046] In one possible embodiment, the commercial battery transport tool includes a handrail 7, located on the side of the base 11 facing away from the stand 121. The handrail 7 facilitates gripping by the user, reducing effort when transporting the battery transport tool from one location to another. Furthermore, the handrail 7, located away from the stand 121, does not interfere with the raising and lowering of the battery pack 100 and further increases the load capacity, preventing the base 11 from tipping over toward the battery pack 100.

[0047] In one possible embodiment, the commercial battery transport tool includes a battery 8 mounted on the base 11 and electrically connected to the winding device 2. The battery 8 provides power to the winding device 2, making the battery 8 transport tool operable without requiring electrical power, thus increasing convenience. The battery 8 also provides additional weight, preventing the base 11 from tipping over toward the battery pack 100.

[0048] In a possible embodiment, the sling 3 includes a frame 32 and a boom 33, and the sling rope 6 is connected to the frame 32. The boom 33 is connected to the frame 32, and the hook 31 is connected to the boom 33. The hook 31 can be fixedly connected to the boom 33 or movably connected. Preferably, the hook 31 is movably connected to the boom 33, so that the position of the hook 31 on the boom 33 can be adjusted, and the hook 31 can be set at the position corresponding to the connection point of the battery pack 100 according to different battery packs 100. The boom 33 can be fixedly connected to the frame 32 or movably connected to the frame 32. Preferably, the boom 33 is movably connected to the frame 32, so that the position of the hook 31 relative to the vertical boom 33 can be adjusted.

[0049] In one possible embodiment, the lifting rod 33 is provided with multiple hanging slots 3311, each of which is spaced apart along the length of the lifting rod 33. The hook can be attached to any of the hanging slots 3311. When lifting different battery packs 100, the hook 31 can be matched with the appropriate hanging slot 3311 according to the different lifting points of the battery pack 100. The hanging slot 3311 also limits the position of the hook 31, ensuring that the hook 31 and the hanging slot 3311 are in a stable position, thereby ensuring stable lifting and transportation of the battery pack 100.

[0050] In a possible embodiment, the frame 32 has a main board 321 and flange plates 322 located on opposite sides of the main board 321. A slide groove 3221 is provided on the flange plate 322, and the slide groove 3221 extends along the length direction of the flange plate 322. Both ends of the suspension rod 33 are slidably connected to the slide groove 3221 of the corresponding flange plate 322, and the suspension rod 33 can slide along the length direction of the flange plate 322 and be fixed by a locking member. In a battery swap station, different models of cars may often be encountered for battery swapping, and thus different models of battery packs 100 need to be transported. The length, width, and hanging point of the battery pack 100 may be different, and the position of the hook 31 needs to be adjusted according to the different battery packs 100. The suspension rod 33 slides along the slide groove 3221 to adjust the position of the hook 31 along the extension direction of the vertical suspension rod 33. The hook 31 cooperates with different hanging grooves 3311 to adjust the position of the hook 31 along the length direction of the hook 31. Through these two adjustments, the hook 31 can basically be located at any position in the frame 32, and thus can be adapted to basically all models of battery packs 100.

[0051] In one possible embodiment, the chute 3221 is a groove that extends through the thickness of the side panel. The suspension rod 33 includes a rod body 331 and a stopper 332 disposed at each end of the rod body 331. The hanging groove 3311 is disposed on the rod body 331. The stopper 332 includes a connecting column 3321 and a stopper 3322. One end of the connecting column 3321 is connected to the stopper 332, and the other end extends through the chute and is connected to the rod body 331. The connecting column 3321 includes a smooth section and a threaded section. A threaded hole is provided at the end of the rod body 331. The threaded section is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. The smooth section is located within the chute 3221 and is connected to the stopper 3322. When the cover plate hanger 33 needs to be located in the slide groove 3221, rotate the limit block 3322 to lengthen the distance between the limit block 3322 and the rod body 331, and the hanger 33 can slide relative to the frame 32. After the hanger 33 slides to a suitable position, rotate the limit block 3322 in the opposite direction to shorten the distance between the limit block 3322 and the rod body 331. The rod body 331 and the limit block 3322 tighten the flanging plate 322 to ensure that the position of the hanger 33 remains stable.

[0052] In one possible embodiment, the suspension rod 33 further includes two sliders 333, disposed at either end of the rod body 331. The sliders 333 are rectangular, and their width is greater than the diameter of the rod body 331 and the connecting post 3321. The slide 333 includes a first groove 32211 and a second groove 32212 that are interconnected. The sliders 333 are located within the first groove 32211 and can slide along the first groove 32211. The smooth section is located within the second groove 32212 and can slide along the second groove 32212. The sliders 333 better match the slide 3221, ensuring stable sliding of the suspension rod 33.

[0053] In one possible embodiment, the limiting block 3322 includes a main block 33221 and gripping portions 33222 disposed on both sides of the main block 33221. One end of the gripping portion 33222 is connected to the main block 33221, and the other end extends toward a side away from the connecting post 3321 of the rod body 331. The provision of the gripping portion 33222 facilitates the application of force when rotating the limiting block 332.

[0054] In a possible embodiment, two suspension rods 33 are provided in parallel, and at least one suspension hook 31 is provided on each guide rod. This ensures that there are at least two lifting points when lifting the battery pack 100, which can make the lifting more stable, and the deflection angle generated when lifting the battery pack 100 is small, and the safety factor is high.

[0055] In a possible embodiment, the sling 3 has a handle 34, which is connected to the frame 32. When adjusting the position of the hook 31, it is sometimes necessary to hold the frame 32, and providing the handle 34 on the frame 32 makes it easier to hold.

[0056] In one possible embodiment, the handle 34 is disposed on the side of the mainboard 321 facing away from the flange plate 322. Generally, when lowering the frame 32 to connect to the battery pack 100, the position of the frame 32 needs to be adjusted so that the hook 31 aligns with the lifting point of the battery pack 100. Placing the handle 34 on the side facing away from the hook 31 facilitates operation. Preferably, two handles 34 are included, one on each side of the mainboard 321.

[0057] In a possible embodiment, a lifting ring is provided on the side of the main board 321 facing away from the flange plate 322 , and one end of the lifting rope 6 away from the winding device 2 is connected to the lifting ring.
