[0026] The bin body 1 is placed inside a pair of U-shaped plates 16; a pair of U-shaped plates 16 are placed on the side wall of the U-shaped plate 17; during work, when the battery is placed in the bin body 1, the battery will be on the supporting plate 17, and then the U-shaped plate 16 will be in contact with the side wall of the battery, the combination of the supporting plate 17 and the U-shaped plate 16 can effectively buffer the lateral impact force when the ship shakes, reducing the probability of battery displacement.

[0027] Both sides of the bin body 1 are provided with a plurality of clamping grooves 18; the U-shaped plate 16 is placed in the clamping groove 18; during work, by placing the U-shaped plate 16 in the clamping groove 18, the position of the pair of U-shaped plates 16 in the bin body 1 can be changed, so that the U-shaped plate 16 can better adhere to the battery, and the three-sided enclosure structure of the U-shaped plate 16 and the supporting plate 17 can evenly transmit the weight of the battery to the side wall of the bin body 1, avoiding the risk of deformation caused by local stress concentration.

[0028] The working principle is that after the battery is put into the bin body 1 by the staff, the top cover 3 is placed on the bin body 1, the mouth-shaped block 4 on the top cover 3 will enter the mouth-shaped groove 2, and through the action of the clamping part, the top cover 3 will be limited and fixed on the bin body 1. The engagement structure of the mouth-shaped groove 2 and the mouth-shaped block 4 forms a labyrinth seal, which can effectively block water penetration. Cooperating with the drainage groove 5 can quickly guide out a small amount of water that accidentally enters, and the geometric cooperation of the mouth-shaped groove 2 and the mouth-shaped block 4 ensures that the top cover 3 is automatically corrected in position during installation, preventing sealing failure due to misalignment. Through the sliding of the L-shaped block 6 in the first sliding groove 7, when the mouth-shaped block 4 is installed from top to bottom along the mouth-shaped groove 2, the L-shaped block 6 will enter the mouth-shaped groove 2. Under the action of the trigger part, the L-shaped block 6 slides in the sliding groove, and the transverse block of the L-shaped block 6 will be misaligned with the clamping block 10 and continue to move downward, and then under the action of the spring force, the L-shaped block 6 will reset in the sliding groove.

Through the sliding of the extrusion block 11 in the limiting groove 12, when the staff presses the connecting rod 14 towards the top cover 3, the connecting rod 14 will drive the extrusion block 11 to slide into the limiting groove 12. The side wall of the extrusion block 11 will extrude the inclined groove 13 of the L-shaped block 6. When the inclined groove 13 of the L-shaped block 6 is extruded, the L-shaped block 6 will slide in the sliding groove. The transverse block of the L-shaped block 6 will be misaligned with the clamping block 10. At this time, the staff can pull the connecting rod 14 to lift the top cover 3 upwards, so that the top cover 3 is separated from the bin body 1, facilitating the staff to quickly disassemble the top cover 3. When the battery is placed in the bin body 1, the battery will be on the supporting plate 17, and then a pair of U-shaped plates 16 will contact the side wall of the battery. The combination of the supporting plate 17 and the U-shaped plate 16 can effectively buffer the lateral impact force when the ship shakes, reducing the displacement probability of the battery. By placing the U-shaped plate 16 in the clamping groove 18, the position of the pair of U-shaped plates 16 in the bin body 1 can be changed, so that the U-shaped plate 16 better adheres to the battery. The three-sided enclosure structure of the U-shaped plate 16 and the supporting plate 17 can evenly transmit the weight of the battery to the side wall of the bin body 1, avoiding the risk of deformation caused by local stress concentration.
