[0020] Embodiments will now be described with reference to the drawings. It should be understood that the drawings are diagrammatic and schematic and that for purposes of illustration the elements of the drawings are shown on an exaggerated scale. It should be understood that for the purpose of simplicity and clarity, the drawings can repeat the use of reference characters in different drawings to indicate corresponding or analogous elements throughout the several views, and that the numerous details given by way of description and example in the drawings are intended to contribute to an understanding of the principles of the present application. Further, the present application describes numerous specific details in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, one skilled in the relevant art will understand that these embodiments described herein can be practiced without many of the specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures and components have not been described in detail in order to avoid obscuring aspects of the embodiments described herein. Also, this description is not to be taken as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein.

[0021] As shown in Figs. 1 to 3 , according to one embodiment of the present application, an automatic loading device for energy storage container is provided, comprising: an AGV 11, a rack 12 fixedly arranged above the AGV 11, and a lifting platform capable of moving up and down relative to the rack 12, a sliding table 13 capable of moving horizontally along the left and right sides of the AGV 11 is arranged above the lifting platform, a conveying mechanism 14 is arranged above the sliding table 13, and the conveying mechanism 14 is used to convey lithium batteries on its upper surface to the storage position of the energy storage container.

[0022] In the above embodiment, the rack 12 can be arranged in the middle of the AGV 11, so that when the lifting platform is raised relative to the rack 12, the AGV 11 and the rack 12 form a whole which is relatively stable and not easy to fall. When the AGV 11 enters the energy storage container, the lifting platform is raised to a suitable height of the lithium battery storage position in the energy storage container, and the sliding platform 13 is extended from the left side or the right side of the lifting platform to make the sliding platform 13 close to the lithium battery storage position, so as to form a channel for conveying the lithium battery, preventing the lithium battery from falling due to the too large distance between the sliding platform 13 and the lithium battery storage position, and when there is almost no gap between the sliding platform 13 and the storage position, the lithium battery on the upper surface of the conveying mechanism 14 is conveyed to the storage position by the conveying mechanism 14.

[0023] In one embodiment, the lifting movement of the lifting platform relative to the rack 12 can be achieved by arranging a gear and rack structure and assisted by a guide rail. Specifically, the inner side of the rack 12 is provided with a vertical guide rail and a vertical rack arranged parallel to the vertical guide rail, the two sides of the lifting platform are provided with a first sliding block for sliding cooperation with the vertical guide rail and a first gear for engaging with the vertical rack, and further comprising a first driving device for driving the first gear.

[0024] In the above embodiment, the horizontal movement of the sliding platform 13 relative to the lifting platform can also be achieved by arranging a gear and rack structure and assisted by a guide rail. Specifically, the bottom of the sliding platform 13 is provided with a horizontal guide rail and a horizontal rack arranged parallel to the horizontal guide rail, the upper side of the lifting platform is provided with a second sliding block for sliding cooperation with the horizontal guide rail and a second gear for engaging with the horizontal rack, and further comprising a second driving device for driving the second gear.

[0025] In the above embodiment, the movement of the lithium battery relative to the sliding platform 13, i.e. pushing the lithium battery from the sliding platform 13 into the storage position, can be achieved by the following way. Specifically, the conveying mechanism 14 comprises a synchronous belt 41, and a transverse plate 42 fixedly connected with the synchronous belt 41, the two sides of the transverse plate 42 are respectively provided with a push plate 43, the push plate 43 is used to push the lithium battery to move relative to the sliding platform 13; the left and right sides of the sliding platform 13 are symmetrically provided with support frames 44, each support frame 44 has an avoidance slot for the movement of the push plate 43, and the support frame 44 is further provided with a roller to make the roller roll with the lithium battery when the push plate 43 pushes the lithium battery to move relative to the sliding platform 13.

[0026] The above-mentioned roller rolling with the lithium battery is easy to understand, because the lithium battery is placed on the roller of the support frame 44, the roller plays a supporting role for the lithium battery, and when the lithium battery moves relative to the support frame 44, the lithium battery and the support frame 44 are in rolling friction.

[0027] The support frame 44 is fixedly connected with the sliding table 13, the synchronous belt 41 drives the horizontal plate 42 and the push plate 43 connected with the two ends of the horizontal plate 42, so that the push plate 43 can push the edge of the lithium battery to push the lithium battery into the storage position in the process of moving to the left or right in the avoiding groove.

[0028] In some embodiments, the distance between the two push plates 43 is adjustably arranged. Specifically, each push plate 43 and the horizontal plate 42 can be adjusted in position by a screw nut structure, so as to avoid the right push plate 43 when loading from the left side, or avoid the left push plate 43 when loading from the right side, so as to meet the loading action in different directions.

[0029] In the foregoing embodiments, the support frame 44 comprises a layer or two layers of the layer for placing the lithium battery. Since a single lithium battery is heavy, after the lithium battery is lifted by the rack 12, the overall structure of the AGV 11, the rack 12 and the lithium battery has a high center of gravity, in order to avoid overturning, the number of lithium batteries carried at one time should not be too much, so the layer is preferably one to two layers.

[0030] In other embodiments, a visual system can also be used to assist in loading. Specifically, a CCD machine vision system 61 is also arranged at the bottom and top positions of the rack 12, which is used to detect the spatial coordinate position of the storage position when loading the energy storage container, so as to adjust the position of the lithium battery placed on the sliding table 13.

[0031] It should be understood that the possible terms "first" or "second" and the like in the claims, specification and drawings of the present utility model are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order. The terms "include" and "contain" used in the specification and claims of the present utility model indicate the presence of the described features, whole, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, whole, steps, operations, elements, components and / or sets thereof.
