[0021] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, the ship battery cabin cover opening and closing mechanism includes a battery cabin frame 1, a box body 3 is arranged in the battery cabin frame 1, and a battery cabin cover 4 is hinged to the top of the box body 3; the battery cabin frame 1 includes a cross beam 2 located above the battery cabin cover 4, a winding drum 8 is arranged on the cross beam 2, a steel wire rope 10 is wound around the winding drum 8, and the steel wire rope 10 is connected with the battery cabin cover 4. The battery cabin frame 1 is an outer frame structure of the power cabin of the battery replacement ship, and is used for battery storage and transfer.
[0022] The mechanism is powered by a motor 5, a speed reducer 6 amplifies the torque, the winding drum 8 drives the steel wire rope 10, the steel wire rope 10 pulls the battery cabin cover 4 to realize the coordinated operation of opening and closing, realizes the electric opening and closing of the battery cabin cover 4, and meets the weatherproof requirement. Through the above-mentioned electric opening and closing mechanism, it is ensured that the battery cabin cover 4 can be tightly closed when it is closed, so as to prevent water and dust from entering, and meet the weatherproof requirement of the power battery 14 cabin in the CCS regulation. The mechanism realizes the automatic opening and closing of the battery cabin cover 4, reduces the complexity and time cost of manual operation, improves the battery replacement efficiency, and has the advantages of automation and high convenience.
[0023] As shown in Figure 3 , one end of the battery cabin cover 4 is provided with a hinge 12, the hinge 12 is located directly below the cross beam 2, the other end of the battery cabin cover 4 is provided with a connecting plate 11, the connecting plate 11 is connected with the bottom end of the steel wire rope 10, and the hinges 12 are arranged in pairs. The hinge 12 is the mounting hinge point of the battery cabin cover 4, which is located directly below the cross beam 2, and is at the maximum rotation angle of the battery cabin cover 4 when the steel wire rope 10 pulls the battery cabin cover 4 to the vertical posture, and then the battery replacement installation operation can be performed, thereby reducing the occupied space of the battery cabin cover 4 in the battery cabin. The connecting plate 11 provides a connection position for the steel wire rope 10, which is a connection point of one end of the steel wire rope 10 to the battery cabin cover 4 door, used for driving the opening and closing of the battery cabin cover, and realizing the weatherproof of the power cabin. The connecting plate 11 is located in the middle of one end of the battery cabin cover 4, so that the pulling force on the battery cabin cover 4 is on the midline of the battery cabin cover 4, and cooperating with the plurality of hinges 12 is conducive to improving the stability and smoothness of the opening and closing process of the battery cabin cover.
[0024] As shown in Figure 2 , the middle of the cross beam 2 is provided with a speed reducer 6, the speed reducer 6 is connected with a motor 5, the speed reducer 6 is connected with a shaft coupling 7 on both sides, a winding drum 8 is connected with the shaft coupling 7, and the winding drum 8 is symmetrically arranged about the speed reducer 6. The motor 5 provides rotary power, the speed reducer 6 is used for amplifying torque to drive the winding drum 8 to rotate, the shaft coupling 7 is used for transmitting rotary force of the drum, the winding drum 8 is used for rotating to drive the steel wire rope 10, the steel wire rope 10 is used for pulling the battery cabin cover 4 to realize the opening and closing action of the battery cabin cover 4, and the cross beam 2 provides support for the above-mentioned components. The above structure realizes the rotation of two winding drums 8 driven by a single motor 5 at the same time, and can realize the simultaneous opening and closing or closing of two battery cabin covers 4.
[0025] As shown in Figure 1As shown, the battery compartment frame 1 also includes a column 13, with a crossbeam 2 located on top of the column 13. The column 13 is located outside the battery compartment cover 4. The column 13 provides stable support for the crossbeam 2 and also limits the maximum rotation angle of the battery compartment cover 4, preventing the battery compartment cover 4 from rotating too much and flipping outward, causing damage to equipment or personnel.

[0029] The working process is as follows: Battery compartment cover opening and closing process: Motor 5 starts and drives drum 8 to rotate in the forward direction. Drum 8 drives wire rope 10, which shortens the length of wire rope 10. Wire rope 10 pulls battery compartment cover 4 to flip and open battery compartment cover 4. Motor 5 rotates in the reverse direction, and drum 8 drives wire rope 10 to extend its length. Under the action of gravity, battery compartment cover 4 flips down and closes battery compartment cover 4. This realizes the electric opening and closing of battery compartment cover 4, so that the battery compartment meets the requirements of wind and rain tightness, and battery swapping can be completed smoothly.
[0030] The ship's battery compartment cover opening and closing mechanism meets the regulatory requirements for the weathertightness of the power battery 14 compartment by opening, closing and closing the battery compartment cover. It utilizes the battery compartment frame 1 as the installation point for the drive component. The structure is reasonably designed, occupies little space, and has no spatial interference with the operation of swapping and installing the power battery 14.
