[0042] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 And Figure 9A preferred embodiment of the battery exchange device of the present application is used to accommodate at least one battery 50, and comprises a cabinet 10, a front cover 20, at least one accommodating assembly 30, and at least one frame structure 40.

[0043] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 8 , the cabinet 10 is internally hollow, and the front side of the cabinet 10 has a combination port 11 which communicates with the interior of the cabinet 10.

[0044] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the front cover 20 is arranged at the combination port 11 of the cabinet 10, and the front cover 20 has at least one drop port 21.

[0045] As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the at least one accommodating assembly 30 is arranged in the interior of the cabinet 10 and corresponds to the position of the at least one drop port 21, and each of the accommodating assemblies 30 has an accommodating space 31.

[0046] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8 , the at least one frame structure 40 is located between the cabinet 10 and the front cover 20, and corresponds to the position of the at least one drop port 21, and each of the frame structures 40 comprises a guide frame 41 and a positioning frame 42, the guide frame 41 is located at the front side of the positioning frame 42, and the inner diameter of the guide frame 41 is greater than the inner diameter of the positioning frame 42, the guide frame 41 has at least one guide portion 411 extending towards the rear side, and the positioning frame 42 has at least one positioning portion 421.

[0047] Among them, one of the batteries 50 enters the accommodating space 31 of the corresponding accommodating assembly 30 through the drop port 21 and its corresponding frame structure 40, and the battery 50 abuts against the positioning portion 421 of the positioning frame 42 of the frame structure 40.

[0048] Furthermore, the frame structure 40 comprises a shielding plate 43 which is pivotally arranged at the upper end of the positioning frame 42, the shielding plate 43 shields the corresponding accommodating assembly 30 of the frame structure 40, and can be pivoted to make the drop port 21 communicate with the accommodating space 31 of the corresponding accommodating assembly 30.

[0049] As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the battery exchange device is used to accommodate the battery 50 for use of the exchanged battery 50, when the user wants to put in the battery 50, the user can support the battery 50 on the guide frame 41 of the frame structure 40 corresponding to the put-in port 21 and push the battery 50, the guide part 411 of the guide frame 41 can guide the moving path of the battery 50, and make the battery 50 push away the shielding plate 43, when the battery 50 moves to the positioning frame 42, the positioning part 421 of the positioning frame 42 abuts against the battery 50 and limits it, thereby enabling the battery 50 to enter the accommodation space 31 of the accommodation assembly 30 in the correct path, and positively butts against the charging terminal at the rear end of the accommodation assembly 30.

[0050] As shown in Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 , by the at least one frame structure 40 being a two-piece structure comprising the guide frame 41 and the positioning frame 42, a higher tolerance threshold can be provided, when the battery 50 is pushed into the battery exchange device, the position is first guided by the guide part 411 of the guide frame 41 with a larger inner diameter, and then the position is fixed by the positioning part 421 of the positioning frame 42, so that the putting and taking of the battery 50 are not easily affected by the tolerance, thereby avoiding the manufacturing or assembly tolerance between the cabinet 10 and the front cover 20 causing the battery 50 not to be easily placed and taken, not to be positively butted against the charging terminal or to be easily collided to cause damage, and improving the use convenience.

[0051] Preferably, as shown in Figure 3 , the guide frame 41 of the frame structure 40 is installed on the front cover 20, the positioning frame 42 is installed on the cabinet 10, and the accommodation assembly 30 corresponding to the frame structure 40 is also installed on the cabinet 10, so that, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the guide frame 41 and the positioning frame 42 of the frame structure 40 have no connection relationship, but are only opposite to each other, so that even if the position of the put-in port 21 of the front cover 20 or the guide frame 41 has a deviation tolerance from the corresponding accommodation assembly 30, it will not affect the assembly between the positioning frame 42 and the corresponding accommodation assembly 30, and the positioning frame 42 can still accurately align the battery 50 with the accommodation assembly 30.

[0052] Further, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the inner diameter of the guide frame 41 is inwardly recessed from front to back, and the at least one guide portion 411 is in a rib shape. By virtue of the design of the inner diameter of the guide frame 41, the battery 50 abutting against the guide frame 41 can be guided to the positioning frame 42. Since the battery 50 is in contact with the at least one guide portion 411, the rib-shaped guide portion 411 can reduce the friction force suffered by the battery 50, improve the smoothness of movement of the battery 50, and reduce the friction marks on the outer side of the battery 50, thereby maintaining the aesthetics.

[0053] In addition, as shown in Figure 9 , the inner diameter of the guide frame 41 is greater than the outer contour of the battery 50, and a spacing distance is formed between the inner diameter of the guide frame 41 and the outer contour of the battery 50, so that the battery 50 can be more easily inserted into the frame structure 40 and the cabinet 10.

[0054] In addition, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the positioning frame 42 has a plurality of positioning portions 421, which are arranged at intervals and surround the inner contour of the positioning frame 42, thereby improving the positioning effect of the battery 50.

[0055] Further, as shown in Figure 7 , the front end of the positioning portion 421 of the positioning frame 42 is formed with an arc-shaped guide edge 422, and the height of the guide edge 422 gradually increases from front to back. Therefore, even if the guide frame 41 and the positioning frame 42 are slightly misaligned, the height of the at least one guide frame 41 is still higher than the guide edge 422 of the at least one positioning portion 421, which can provide a higher tolerance threshold and improve the smoothness of movement of the battery 50.

[0056] Preferably, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 6 , and Figure 7 , the positions of the at least one guide portion 411 of the guide frame 41 and the at least one positioning portion 421 of the positioning frame 42 of the frame structure 40 are opposite. Therefore, when the battery 50 is pushed through the frame structure 40, the parts that are in friction with the guide frame 41 and the positioning frame 42 are less, which improves the smoothness of movement of the battery 50, reduces the friction marks on the outer side of the battery 50, and maintains the aesthetics.

[0057] In summary, the utility model discloses battery exchange device is used to contain the battery 50 for exchanging battery 50 uses, by the at least one frame structure 40 for two piece structure that includes the guide frame 41 and the positioning frame 42, can provide higher tolerance tolerance threshold, when the battery 50 is pushed into the battery exchange device, first by the guide portion 411 of the guide frame 41 of larger inner diameter guide position, again by the positioning portion 421 of the positioning frame 42 fixed position, therefore the battery 50 is not easy to be affected by tolerance and is thrown and taken, reduces maintenance requirement and improves use convenience.
