[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage device technology, specifically to a counting type battery cell storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic power generation is one of the main ways to utilize solar energy. Due to its cleanliness, safety, convenience, and high efficiency, solar photovoltaic power generation has become a new industry of widespread attention and key development in countries around the world. Solar power generation modules are composed of several solar cells spliced ​​together. During the production process, operators need to perform IV and EL tests on each cell. After testing, qualified cells need to be stored, which requires a cell storage device.

[0003] Most existing battery cell storage devices do not have the function of counting the number of battery cells. As a result, in actual use, users need to open the storage device to know the number of battery cells in the storage box, which reduces the practicality of the storage device. Furthermore, the existing storage devices are not convenient for users to take out the battery cells, which further reduces the ease of use of the storage device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a counting-type battery cell storage device, which solves the problem that most existing battery cell storage devices do not have the function of counting the number of battery cells. As a result, in actual use, users need to open the storage device to know the number of battery cells in the storage box, thereby reducing the practicality of the storage device. In addition, the existing storage devices are also inconvenient for users to take out the battery cells, further reducing the ease of use of the storage device.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a counting type battery cell storage device, including a storage box, a lifting mechanism for easy picking up of battery cells is provided on the inner side of the storage box, and a counting mechanism for counting the number of battery cells is also provided on the inner side of the storage box.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a support is fixedly connected to the outside of the storage box, a support rod is fixedly connected to the inside of the support, a cover plate is rotatably connected to the outside of the support rod, a protrusion is fixedly connected to the end of the cover plate away from the support rod, an insert rod is inserted into the inside of the protrusion, and a fixing rod is rotatably connected to the outside of the insert rod, so that the user can flip the cover plate through the connecting frame and the support rod to open the storage box, and can also rotate the insert rod to fix the cover plate.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, two connecting brackets are fixedly connected to the outer side of the cover plate. The ends of the two connecting brackets away from the cover plate are rotatably connected to the outer side of the support rod. The cover plate is rotatably connected to the support rod through the connecting brackets. An insertion hole is opened on the inner side of the protrusion. The insertion rod is inserted into the inner side of the insertion hole, and the size of the insertion rod is adapted to the insertion hole. The fixing rod is fixedly connected to the outer side of the storage box.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the lifting mechanism includes four equally angled support rods fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the storage box and a pressure plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the cover. A baffle is fixedly connected to the top of each support rod, and a base plate is fixedly connected to the outer side of each support rod. A first spring is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, a support plate is fixedly connected to the top of the first spring, and a fixing block is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate. The fixing block has several slots, and rubber pads are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the slots. In use, the user can place the battery cells to be stored into each slot on the fixing block. Then, the user flips the cover, causing the cover to move. This movement of the cover drives the pressure plate to move. When the pressure plate reaches a certain position, it contacts the top of the fixing block, causing the battery cells inside the slots to move through the support rods. The movement of the lever and the fixed block compress the first spring. After the cover is fully closed, the support plate moves to the inside of the storage box. At this time, the user can rotate the plug on the outside of the fixed lever and then insert the plug into the hole on the protrusion. This completes the fixing of the cover and the sealing of the storage box. At the same time, the elastic potential energy of the first spring on the base plate is stored. When it is necessary to retrieve the battery, the user removes the plug from the hole on the protrusion and then flips the cover. At this time, the support plate will move upward under the influence of the first spring, sending the battery on the support plate to the opening of the storage box, thus making it convenient for the user to retrieve the battery. This achieves the effect of convenient retrieval of the battery and also protects the battery, thereby improving practicality and ease of use.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the four support rods are distributed at equal angles and have the same specifications and dimensions. All four support rods are slidably connected to the support plate. The number of first springs is the same as that of the support rods. One end of each of the four first springs is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate on the four support rods, and the other end of each of the four first springs is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate. There are six slots, and rubber pads are fixedly connected to the two inner walls of each of the six slots. Each slot has the same specifications and dimensions. The position of the pressure plate corresponds to that of the fixing block, and the size of the pressure plate is adapted to that of the fixing block.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the counting mechanism includes a fixed plate fixedly connected to the outside of the storage box, two inner slots formed at the bottom of each slot, a push switch, and a battery installed at the bottom of the storage box. Several indicator lights are provided on the outside of the fixed plate. A sliding rod is slidably connected to the inside of each inner slot. A sliding plate is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding rod, and a second spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding plate. A guide block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding plate. In use, the user can place the battery cells to be stored into each slot on the fixed block. The battery cells will then press against the sliding plate, causing the sliding plate to move, which in turn moves the sliding rod and the guide block. When the guide block reaches a certain position, it will contact the push switch in the slot. At this time, the indicator lights on the fixed plate will light up, and the rubber pads inside the slots will fix the battery cells. When all the battery cells are placed in the slots, all the indicator lights on the fixed plate will light up. As the number of battery cells in the slots decreases, the number of indicator lights on the fixed plate also decreases. The user can then determine the number of battery cells in the storage box by the number of lit indicator lights, thus achieving battery cell counting while greatly improving practicality.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the number of indicator lights is the same as that of the card slots, and each indicator light is evenly distributed on the outer side of the fixing plate. There are six sets of inner slots and two springs in each set. Each set of inner slots is opened on the inner bottom of each card slot, and a slide rod is slidably connected to the inner side of each set of inner slots. There are six slide plates and six push-button switches. The six slide plates are distributed on the inner side of the six card slots, and the six sets of slide rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the six slide plates. One end of each set of second springs is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the six card slots, and the other end of each set of second springs is fixedly connected to the bottom of the six slide plates. A guide block is fixedly connected to the bottom of each slide plate. The positions of the six guide blocks correspond to the six push-button switches. The six push-button switches are electrically connected to the six indicator lights through batteries.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This utility model, by setting up a storage box, cover plate, insertion rod, lifting mechanism, and counting mechanism, allows the user to place the battery cells to be stored into each slot on the fixing block. The battery cells then press against the sliding plate, which in turn moves the sliding rod and guide block. When the guide block reaches a certain position, it contacts the push switch inside the slot, illuminating the indicator light on the fixing plate. Simultaneously, the rubber pads inside the slots secure the battery cells. When all battery cells are in the slots, all indicator lights on the fixing plate will illuminate, allowing the user to determine the number of battery cells in the storage box. The user then flips the cover plate, causing it to move. This movement drives the pressure plate, which, when it reaches a certain position, contacts the top of the fixing block. The pressure plate then moves the fixing block and the battery cells inside its slots via the support rod. The movement of the fixing block compresses the first spring, causing the cover plate to... Once fully closed, the support plate moves to the inside of the storage box. The user can then rotate the outer rod of the fixing rod and insert it into the hole on the protrusion. This secures the cover and closes the storage box. Simultaneously, the elastic potential energy of the first spring on the base plate is stored. When the battery cells need to be retrieved, the user removes the rod from the hole on the protrusion and flips the cover. The support plate, under the influence of the first spring, moves upward, delivering the battery cells to the opening of the storage box for easy access. Correspondingly, as the number of battery cells in the slot decreases, the number of indicator lights on the fixing plate also decreases. This achieves the goals of storing battery cells, facilitating easy retrieval, protecting the battery cells, and counting the number of battery cells in the storage box, greatly improving practicality.

[0023] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a counting-type battery cell storage device, including a storage box 1. The inner side of the storage box 1 is provided with a lifting mechanism for easy retrieval of battery cells. The inner side of the storage box 1 is also provided with a counting mechanism for counting the number of battery cells. A support 2 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the storage box 1. A support rod 3 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the support 2. A cover plate 4 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the support rod 3. A protrusion 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the cover plate 4 away from the support rod 3. An insertion rod 6 is inserted into the inner side of the protrusion 5. The outer side of the insertion rod 6 is rotatably connected to the protrusion 5. The cover plate 4 is fixedly connected to a fixed rod 7. Two connecting brackets are fixedly connected to the outer side of the cover plate 4. The ends of the two connecting brackets away from the cover plate 4 are rotatably connected to the outer side of the support rod 3. The cover plate 4 is rotatably connected to the support rod 3 through the connecting brackets. An insertion hole is opened on the inner side of the protrusion 5. The insertion rod 6 is inserted into the inner side of the insertion hole, and the size of the insertion rod 6 is adapted to the insertion hole. The fixed rod 7 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the storage box 1, so that the user can flip the cover plate 4 through the connecting brackets and the support rod 3 to open the storage box 1. At the same time, the insertion rod 6 can be rotated to fix the cover plate 4.

[0024] like Figures 3-4As shown, the lifting mechanism includes four equally angled support rods 11 fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the storage box 1 and a pressure plate 12 fixedly connected to the bottom of the cover plate 4. A baffle 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the support rods 11, and a base plate 14 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the support rods 11. A first spring 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 14, a support plate 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the first spring 15, and a fixing block 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 16. Several slots 18 are provided on the fixing block 17, and rubber pads 19 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the slots 18. The four support rods 11 are equally angled. Furthermore, the four support rods 11 have the same specifications and dimensions, and all four support rods 11 are slidably connected to the support plate 16. The number of first springs 15 is the same as that of the support rods 11. One end of each of the four first springs 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 14 on the four support rods 11, and the other end of each of the four first springs 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 16.

[0025] With the above technical solution, during use, the user can place the battery cells to be stored in each slot 18 on the fixing block 17. Then, the user flips the cover plate 4, which moves the cover plate 4 and drives the pressure plate 12 to move. When the pressure plate 12 moves to a certain position, it will contact the top of the fixing block 17 and drive the battery cells inside the fixing block 17 and slot 18 to move through the support rod 11. The movement of the fixing block 17 will compress the first spring 15. When the cover plate 4 is completely closed, the support plate 16 will move to the inside of the storage box 1.

At this time, the support plate 16 will move upward under the influence of the first spring 15, sending the battery on the support plate 16 to the opening of the storage box 1, so that the user can easily take out the battery. This achieves the effect of making it convenient for the user to take out the battery, and at the same time, it can also protect the battery, thereby improving practicality and ease of use.

[0026] like Figures 1-6As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a counting type battery cell storage device, including a storage box 1. The inner side of the storage box 1 is provided with a lifting mechanism for easy retrieval of battery cells.

A slide plate 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the slide rod 25. A second spring 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slide plate 26. A guide block 29 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slide plate 26. The number of indicator lights 24 is the same as that of the slots 18, and each indicator light... The inner grooves 22 and the second springs 27 are evenly distributed on the outside of the fixed plate 21. There are six sets of inner grooves 22 and two springs 27, and each set has two springs. Each set of inner grooves 22 is opened on the inner bottom of each slot 18, and a slide rod 25 is slidably connected to the inner side of each set of inner grooves 22. There are six slide plates 26 and six push switches 28. The six slide plates 26 are distributed on the inner side of the six slots 18. The six sets of slide rods 25 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the six slide plates 26.

A guide block 29 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each slide plate 26. The positions of the six guide blocks 29 correspond to the six push switches 28. The six push switches 28 are electrically connected to the six indicator lights 24 through the battery 23.

[0027] With the above technical solution, when in use, the user can place the battery cells to be stored into each slot 18 on the fixing block 17. At this time, the battery cells will squeeze the slide plate 26. The movement of the slide plate 26 will drive the slide rod 25 and the guide block 29 to move. When the guide block 29 moves to a certain position, it will contact the push switch 28 in the slot 18. At this time, the indicator light 24 on the fixing plate 21 will light up. At the same time, the rubber pad 19 on the inside of the slot 18 can fix the battery cells. When all the battery cells are placed into the slot 18, all the indicator lights 24 on the fixing plate 21 will light up. When the number of battery cells in the slot 18 decreases, the number of indicator lights 24 on the fixing plate 21 will also decrease. At this time, the user can know the number of battery cells in the storage box 1 by the number of lit indicator lights 24, thereby realizing the counting of battery cells and greatly improving practicality.

[0028] It should be noted that the indicator light 24, battery 23 and push switch 28 in this application are all electrically connected using existing technology. Since this technology is well known to those skilled in the art, it will not be described in detail here.
