[0060] The battery tray of the embodiment can not only be compatible with multiple batteries 100 and have strong versatility, but also be convenient for model change and have the advantages of light overall weight and strong bearing capacity.

[0061] It should be noted that when no pad body 3 is installed in the battery groove 21, the width of the battery groove 21 along the first direction is the largest, and the battery groove 21 can be used to place a battery 100 with a larger width. When the pad body 3 is installed in the battery groove 21, the width of the battery groove 21 along the first direction is reduced, and the battery groove 21 can be used to place a battery 100 with a smaller width. Further, by installing pad bodies 3 with different thicknesses in the battery groove 21, the width of the battery groove 21 along the first direction can be adjusted, and thus the battery groove 21 can accommodate batteries 100 with different widths.

[0062] In the embodiment, two pad units are provided, which are respectively referred to as a first pad unit and a second pad unit. The first pad unit includes two first pad bodies 3a, and the second pad unit includes two second pad bodies 3b. The thickness of the first pad body 3a along the first direction is less than the thickness of the second pad body 3b along the first direction. It can be understood that when no pad body 3 is installed in the battery groove 21, the battery groove 21 can accommodate the first battery 101. When the first pad unit is installed in the battery groove 21, the battery groove 21 can accommodate the second battery 102. When the second pad unit is installed in the battery groove 21, the battery groove 21 can accommodate the third battery 103. Along the first direction, the thickness of the first battery 101 is greater than the thickness of the second battery 102, and the thickness of the second battery 102 is greater than the thickness of the third battery 103. Thus, the battery tray can be used to carry three models of batteries 100, which not only has stronger versatility, but also does not cause the number of pad units to be too large and is convenient to store.
