Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forklift accessories technology, and in particular to a quick-release forklift battery module. Background Technology

[0002] A stacker is an industrial piece of equipment used for handling and stacking goods. It is commonly used in warehousing, logistics, and manufacturing to lift, move, and stack goods, improving material handling efficiency. Currently, most mainstream container stackers on the market are diesel-powered, with engines reaching up to 180kW. The exhaust gases from burning diesel cause some environmental pollution. Due to frequent changes in load, the power is excessive under light loads; however, under heavy loads, the engine emits black smoke during acceleration, resulting in severe exhaust pollution. Therefore, electric stackers have been developed. Electric stackers use batteries to store electrical energy.

[0003] Existing battery modules are rigidly tied to battery specifications. When either the battery or the battery module is damaged, or when the battery needs to be replaced, they cannot be compatible with each other, thus preventing easy replacement and increasing costs. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a quick-release forklift battery module to solve the problems mentioned in the background. Utility Model Content

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a quick-release stacker battery module, including a housing 1, a top cover 2 connected to the top side of the housing 1 via a hinge, a placement cavity inside the housing 1, bases 3 fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the bottom side of the placement cavity, a frame 4 fixedly connected to the top side of the base 3, a gathering assembly installed at the left and right ends of the frame 4, a plurality of limiting frames 8 connected to the top side of the frame 4 via a sliding assembly, batteries 15 are provided on the left and right sides of the plurality of limiting frames 8; a grid plate 12 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inside of the frame 4, a plurality of through slots are provided on the outer wall of the grid plate 12; a power port 16 is installed on the upper front side of the housing 1.

[0033] Specifically, the battery module's batteries 15 are relatively small, allowing for a larger number of batteries. To slow down battery degradation, the replaced batteries 15 can be slowly charged and centrally monitored, maintained, and managed to extend their lifespan. This battery module can iteratively replace batteries 15 and accommodate various battery specifications. The batteries 15 can be sold externally, offering flexibility and a wide range of choices. The grid plate 12 reduces the contact area between the battery 15 and the frame 4, thereby reducing heat generation during battery operation due to limited space and extending the battery 15's lifespan.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 The retraction assembly includes a limiting frame 5. The front and rear ends of the limiting frame 5 and the frame body 4 are fixedly connected to telescopic rods 6. The outer wall of the telescopic rods 6 is fitted with springs 7. The battery 15 is located on the side of the frame body 4 and the limiting frame 5. One end of the spring 7 is connected to the frame body 4, and the other end of the spring 7 is connected to the limiting frame 5.

[0035] Specifically, the limiting bracket 5 is used to clamp the battery 15 between the limiting bracket 5 and the frame 4. The telescopic rod 6 is used to support the spring 7 and prevent the spring 7 from bending. By pulling the limiting bracket 5, the telescopic rod 6 is extended, stretching the spring 7, increasing the distance between the frame 4 and the limiting bracket 5 to accommodate batteries 15 of different sizes. The battery 15 is placed between the limiting bracket 5 and the frame 4. Releasing the limiting bracket 5 will reset the spring 7. Pulling the limiting bracket 5 back to its original position will then clamp and secure the battery 15. This structure does not use bolts or other tools required to release the battery 15, making it easy to install and remove the battery 15.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The sliding component includes a slide groove 9, which is opened on the top side of the frame 4. A slider 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the middle end of the second limiting frame 8. The slider 10 slides horizontally inside the slide groove 9. A clamping bolt 11 is threadedly connected to the top side of the middle end of the frame 4. The bottom end of the clamping bolt 11 passes through the bottom side of the middle end of the second limiting frame 8 and the bottom side of the middle end of the slider 10 in sequence, and the bottom end of the clamping bolt 11 abuts against the bottom side of the inner wall of the slide groove 9.

[0037] Specifically, multiple batteries 15 are separated by limiting brackets 2 8, thus preventing them from stacking together and causing overheating. The limiting brackets 2 8 slide within the slide groove 9 via sliders 10, thereby changing the spacing between each limiting bracket 2 8 to accommodate batteries of different specifications. The limiting brackets 2 8 and sliders 10 are fixed by tightening the clamping bolts 11, which press their bottom ends against the bottom side of the inner wall of the slide groove 9.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 Multiple clamping parts 13 are fixedly connected to the top side of the limiting frame 5, and two rubber parts 14 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the inner wall of the clamping parts 13.

[0039] Specifically, all batteries 15 are electrically connected to the power port 16 via wiring and connectors. The cables of multiple batteries 15 and the power port 16 can easily become tangled. The clamping member 13 has a certain degree of elasticity, enabling it to hold the cables internally. Simultaneously, the rubber member 14 further clamps the cables while protecting their outer walls, preventing wear and tear.

[0040] Working principle: When replacing battery 15, by pulling the limiting bracket 5, the telescopic rod 6 is extended and the spring 7 is stretched, increasing the distance between the frame 4 and the limiting bracket 5, thus releasing the clamping and fixing of the limiting bracket 5 on battery 15. At this time, the depleted battery 15 is taken out, and the fully charged battery 15 is placed between the limiting bracket 5 and the frame 4. Then, the limiting bracket 5 is released, the spring 7 will reset, and the limiting bracket 5 will be pulled back to reset, thereby clamping and fixing battery 15. After the battery 15 is replaced, the specifications of the battery 15 change. At this time, it is necessary to adjust the spacing of the second limit bracket 8. First, loosen the tightening bolt 11 so that the bottom end of the tightening bolt 11 is no longer pressed against the inside of the slide groove 9. Slide the second limit bracket 8 inside the slide groove 9 through the slide member 10 to change the spacing of each second limit bracket 8 until it is adjusted to a suitable spacing. Tighten the tightening bolt 11 so that the bottom end of the tightening bolt 11 is pressed against the bottom side of the inner wall of the slide groove 9, thereby fixing the second limit bracket 8 and the slide member 10.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
