[0093] Please refer to Figures 5 to 7 Preferably, in the vertical direction DH, the aforementioned first position is lower than the second position. In other words, in the vertical direction DH, the aforementioned first position is below the second position. It should be noted that during the movement of the execution part 131 from the second position to the first position, the hook 121 pivots gradually away from the driving member 130; during the movement of the execution part 131 from the first position to the second position, the hook 121 pivots gradually close to the driving member 130.

That is, the (single) execution part 131 is connected to the two hooks 121 through the transmission assembly 140. It can be understood that in the single transmission assembly 140, the number of the second transmission members 144 is two. The two second transmission members 144 are respectively connected between the first transmission member 143 and one hook 121. In any second transmission member 144, one end is pivotally connected to the hook 121 about the second axis, and the other end is pivotally connected to the first transmission member 143 about the third axis. In order to improve the smooth coordination of the movement of the first transmission member 143, preferably, the single first transmission member 143 is connected with two guide assemblies 150, or in other words, two guide rods 152. Correspondingly, the hooks 121 are arranged in pairs, and the execution part 131 in any driving member 130 is connected to the two hooks 121 in the pair, respectively. In other words, the single driving member 130 is connected with the two hooks 121 in the pair through the transmission assembly 140. It should be noted that the two hooks 121 in the pair are respectively located on both sides of the driving member 130 in the second horizontal direction D2, and the pivoting directions of the two hooks 121 are opposite.

[0096] Please refer to Figure 5 In order to facilitate the installation of the second transmission member 144 and at the same time be able to adapt to different specifications of the battery lifting appliance 100, preferably, the second transmission member 144 is configured to be adjustable in size along its own extension direction. For example, the second transmission member 144 includes a first connecting part 145, a connecting part 146 and a second connecting part 147 arranged in sequence along the extension direction of the second transmission member 144. The first connecting part 145 and the second connecting part 147 are both adjustable relative to the connecting part 146, so that the overall size of the second transmission member 144 along its own extension direction is adjustable. Along the extension direction of the second transmission member 144, one end of the first connecting part 145 away from the connecting part 146 is connected to the hook 121 through a first pin shaft, and one end of the second connecting part 147 away from the connecting part 146 is connected to the first transmission member 143 through a second pin shaft.

[0097] The process of driving the hook 121 to pivot by the driving member 130 will be briefly described below.

[0098] Figure 3 In the process, the execution part 131 is located at the second position, and the hook 121 is located at the release position. The driving member 130 is started to operate, and the execution part 131 moves along the vertical direction DH from the second position to the first position. The first transmission member 143 moves downward along the vertical direction DH under the drive of the execution part 131. The two ends of the second transmission member 144 are respectively pivoted about the second axis and the third axis to drive the hook 121 to pivot about the first axis until it is pivoted to the lifting position (see Figure 2). Figure 2 In some embodiments, the first transmission member 143 and the two second transmission members 144 are located on or substantially on the same straight line. For example, the first transmission member 143 and the second transmission members 144 are configured as connecting rods, and the first transmission member 143 and the two second transmission members 144 are located on or substantially on the same straight line. Figure 5 In the state shown, the first transmission member 143 and the two second transmission members 144 are at the dead point position in the connecting rod transmission. The connecting rod mechanism with the most stable dead point structure is in this state, and the connecting rod mechanism is combined with Figure 2 When the load bearing surface 128 of the pair of two hooks 121 is loaded with the battery 300, the weight of the battery 300 generates a force on the pair of two hooks 121, which reverses the pivoting of the hooks 121 around the first axis, and the internal force of the three connecting rods (i.e., one first transmission member 143 and the corresponding two second transmission members 144) is zero.

[0099] Preferably, the number of hooks 121 is multiple pairs, and correspondingly, the number of drive members 130 is multiple. Any pair of hooks 121 is driven by one drive member 130. Each pair of hooks 121 is spaced apart from other pairs of hooks 121 in the first horizontal direction D1.

[0100] The utility model also provides a battery swap station, the battery swap station includes a battery 300 and the aforementioned battery lifting appliance 100, and the battery lifting appliance 100 is used for hoisting the battery 300. It can be understood that the battery lifting appliance 100 hoists the battery 300 when the hooks 121 are located at the hoisting position, and the battery lifting appliance 100 is separated from the battery 300 when the hooks 121 are located at the release position.

[0101] The process of hoisting the battery 300 by the battery lifting appliance 100 is briefly described below.

[0102] The hoisted battery 300 is usually in a box structure, and the outside of the box is provided with a lifting lug or buckle structure or the like for hoisting, for example Figure 2 and Figure 3In the middle, the upper part of the battery 300 has a frame beam 310 suitable for the hook 121. Before the battery hoist 100 hoists the battery 300, the position of the frame beam 310 of the battery 300 is positioned by the relevant control system (such as a visual system or a sensor) in the battery swap station. The hook 121 is pivoted from the release position to the hoisting position under the drive of the driving member 130, and is precisely connected with the frame beam 310 of the battery 300, and then the battery 300 is locked with the hook 121. It can be understood that for different sizes of the battery 300, different specifications of the battery hoist 100 can be selected. For example, a single hook 121 is connected to a single battery 300, or a plurality of hooks 121 distributed at intervals along the second horizontal direction D2 are used to connect to the frame beam 310 of the same battery 300. The battery hoist 100 lifts and moves the battery 300 to the target position by a lifting device (such as a winch or a hydraulic arm). After reaching the target position, the battery 300 is unlocked from the hook 121, and the battery 300 is released smoothly. Then the hook 121 is pivoted from the hoisting position to the release position under the drive of the driving member 130.

[0103] The battery hoist of the utility model overcomes the problem of rotating gap caused by wear of the horizontally arranged straight pushing cross beam, sliding groove and roller in the prior art, and the horizontally arranged linkage occupies a large area; the battery hoist of the utility model arranges the execution part of the driving member in the vertical direction, so that at least the driving member and the hook occupy a small space in the horizontal direction, avoids interference of components on the base frame, and the overall structure is more compact and the layout is more reasonable.
