Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of battery bracket technology, and more specifically, relates to a storage battery bracket. Background Technology

[0002] Airport shuttle buses use a 24V low-voltage electrical system, requiring the installation of a low-voltage battery. The battery is typically mounted on a bracket and secured with a pressure plate to prevent movement during use. Chinese utility model patent CN214898718U discloses a battery fixing bracket for easy installation, which is a bracket used to fix the battery.

[0003] However, during use, due to the considerable weight of the batteries and the fact that airport shuttle buses operate within the airport for extended periods requiring frequent battery inspections and replacements, staff often need to drag and pull a tray to remove or install the battery-loaded tray during these processes. This is labor-intensive and inconvenient. Furthermore, since the batteries are located on the vehicle, excessive pulling could cause the entire tray to fall off, posing a safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a battery tray to solve the problem of inconvenient tray pushing and pulling during battery maintenance and replacement, and to ensure that the tray will not fall off the vehicle, thus ensuring safety.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application provides a battery tray, including a tray for carrying batteries and a battery compartment with a side exit. At least one set of pressure plate assemblies for clamping the batteries is installed on the top of the tray. A transport guide rail is provided inside the battery compartment, and the tray is equipped with rollers mounted on the transport guide rail to allow the tray to move in or out of the side exit. The battery compartment is the space on the vehicle used to install the tray and batteries. Workers can push or pull the tray into or out of the battery compartment, facilitating the installation or removal of the batteries for replacement.

[0006] It also includes an abutment and a limiting component. The abutment and the limiting component are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the battery compartment and the tray, respectively. The limiting component includes a first limiting component and a second limiting component arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the transport guide rail. The abutment is located between the first limiting component and the second limiting component. When the tray moves into or out of the side outlet, the abutment abuts against the first limiting component and the second limiting component, respectively, to limit the stroke. In this way, the operator does not need to manually align the tray to ensure that it can be pushed into place, and it can prevent it from completely detaching from the battery compartment and falling, thus avoiding danger and making the operation convenient.

[0007] Optionally, both the first and second limiting members are located at the bottom of the tray. The first limiting member is positioned between the second limiting member and the side outlet, while the abutment is located on the inner wall of the battery compartment. When the tray moves into the side outlet, the abutment abuts against the first limiting member and is bolted together. In use, after the tray carries the battery into the battery compartment and into position, the abutment abuts against the first limiting member. By connecting the two with bolts, the position of the tray can be fixed, completing the installation. When the battery needs to be replaced, the abutment and the first limiting member can be removed, and the tray can then be pulled towards the side outlet.

[0008] Optionally, an electromagnetic lock is also included. Both the first and second limiting members are located on the inner wall of the battery compartment. The second limiting member is located between the first limiting member and the side exit. The abutment is located at the bottom of the tray. When the tray moves into the side exit, the abutment abuts against the first limiting member and is connected to each other via the electromagnetic lock. The switch of the electromagnetic lock is located near the side exit. When the tray carries the battery into the battery compartment and into position, the abutment abuts against the first limiting member. Connecting the two via the electromagnetic lock fixes the position of the tray, completing the installation. When the battery needs to be replaced, pressing the switch of the electromagnetic lock disassembles the abutment and the first limiting member, allowing the tray to be pulled towards the side exit. Since the first limiting member is deep inside the battery compartment, it is difficult for operators to access. Connecting it via an electromagnetic lock and placing the switch of the electromagnetic lock near the side exit facilitates operation.

[0009] Optionally, the transport guide includes two parallel U-shaped guides arranged on the bottom side of the pallet, with the openings of the two U-shaped guides facing each other. Rollers are distributed on both sides of the bottom of the pallet, and the rollers roll against the bottom wall of the U-shaped guides. The abutment and limiting components are located between the two U-shaped guides. The rollers roll along the two U-shaped guides. When the pallet moves out of the side exit, sometimes some rollers may move out of the end of the U-shaped guide, causing the pallet to tend to tip over. At this time, the rollers that have not yet moved out of the U-shaped guide will tilt upwards and be stopped by the top wall of the U-shaped guide, preventing the pallet from tipping over. The limiting effect of the limiting components can prevent all rollers from moving out of the U-shaped guide.

[0010] Optionally, the pressure plate assembly includes a fastening nut, a pressure bar located on top of the tray, and two lifting rods symmetrically arranged on both sides of the tray. The bottom of the lifting rods has hooks, and the sides of the tray have lifting holes. The bottom of the lifting rods hooks into the lifting holes via hooks, and the top of the lifting rods slides through the pressure bar, which presses against the top of the battery. The fastening nut is screwed onto the top of the lifting rods from the top and presses firmly against the pressure bar. When the battery is placed on the tray, tightening the fastening nut ensures the pressure bar is firmly pressed against the top of the battery, preventing battery movement. When the battery needs to be replaced, the fastening nut is loosened, and the pressure plate assembly is removed from the tray.

[0011] Optionally, the pallet is provided with a handle on the side wall facing the side exit to facilitate staff pushing and pulling the pallet.

[0012] The advantages of the technical solution in this application compared to the prior art are as follows:

[0013] The battery tray includes a tray and a battery compartment with a side exit. The battery compartment is the space on the vehicle for installing the tray and the battery. The tray is used to hold the battery, and at least one set of pressure plate assemblies is installed on the top of the tray to press the battery in place and prevent the battery from shaking.

[0014] The battery compartment is equipped with transport rails, and the tray is fitted with rollers that are mounted on the transport rails. Operators can easily push or pull the tray into or out of the battery compartment, facilitating battery installation or replacement. When the tray moves into or out of the side exit, the abutment engages with the first and second limiting members respectively, limiting the travel distance. This eliminates the need for manual alignment to ensure the tray is pushed into place and prevents it from completely detaching from the battery compartment, thus avoiding potential hazards and ensuring convenient operation.

[0022] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] This embodiment provides a battery holder, based on Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle includes a tray 1 and a battery compartment 2 with a side outlet 21. The tray 1 is used to carry the batteries 100, and at least one set of pressure plate assemblies 3 are installed on the top of the tray 1 to press the batteries 100 together and prevent them from shaking. The battery compartment 2 is the space on the vehicle used to install the tray 1 and the batteries 100. In this embodiment, the battery compartment 2 is the space in the low-voltage electrical system of the airport shuttle bus used to install the low-voltage batteries 100. The tray 1 carries two batteries 100, and there are two sets of pressure plate assemblies 3 to press the two batteries 100 together. For other application scenarios, when the tray 1 carries different numbers of batteries 100, the number of pressure plate assemblies 3 is also adjusted accordingly to ensure that all batteries 100 are pressed together.

[0025] The battery compartment 2 is equipped with a transport rail 22, and the tray 1 is fitted with rollers 11. The rollers 11 are mounted on the transport rail 22 to allow the tray 1 to move in or out of the side exit 21. Workers can push or pull the tray 1 into or out of the battery compartment 2, facilitating the installation or removal of the battery 100 for replacement and maintenance. For ease of pushing and pulling, a handle 13 is provided on the side wall of the tray 1 facing the side exit 21.

[0026] The battery tray also includes an abutment 4 and a limiting component, which are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the battery compartment 2 and the tray 1, respectively. The limiting component includes a first limiting component 5 and a second limiting component 6 spaced apart along the extension direction of the transport guide rail 22, with the abutment 4 located between the first limiting component 5 and the second limiting component 6. In this embodiment, based on... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first limiting member 5 and the second limiting member 6 are both located at the bottom of the tray 1, and the abutment member 4 is located on the inner wall of the battery compartment 2. The first limiting member 5 is located between the second limiting member 6 and the side outlet 21. After the operator pulls the tray 1 to move it a certain distance away from the side outlet 21, the second limiting member 6 abuts against the abutment member 4 to prevent the tray 1 from being completely removed from the battery compartment 2 and falling off the movement guide rail. At this time, the operator can perform maintenance or replacement of the battery 100. After maintenance or replacement is completed, the operator pushes the tray 1 to fully enter the battery compartment 2. The tray 1 moves until the first limiting member 5 abuts against the abutment member 4, and the tray 1 moves into place. The operator then bolts the abutment member 4 and the first limiting member 5 together to fix the tray 1. When replacement or maintenance is required again, the above operation can be repeated simply by removing the bolts connecting the abutment member 4 and the first limiting member 5.

[0027] During the entire process of moving the tray 1 into or out of the side outlet 21, the abutting part 4 abuts against the first limiting part 5 and the second limiting part 6 respectively to limit the stroke. In this way, the operator does not need to manually align the tray 1 to ensure that it can be pushed into place, and can avoid it from completely detaching from the battery compartment 2 and falling, thus avoiding danger and making the operation convenient.

[0028] based on Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the transport guide rail 22 includes two parallel U-shaped guide rails 23 arranged on the bottom side of the pallet 1. The openings of the two U-shaped guide rails 23 are opposite to each other. Rollers 11 are distributed on both sides of the bottom of the pallet 1, and the rollers 11 roll against the bottom wall of the U-shaped guide rails 23. The abutment member 4 and the limiting member are located between the two U-shaped guide rails 23. The rollers 11 roll along the two U-shaped guide rails 23. When the pallet 1 moves out of the side outlet 21, sometimes some rollers 11 move out of the end of the U-shaped guide rail 23, causing the pallet 1 to tend to fall and tip over. At this time, the rollers 11 that have not yet moved out of the U-shaped guide rail 23 will tilt upward and be abutted and limited by the top wall of the U-shaped guide rail 23 to prevent the pallet 1 from tipping over. With the limiting effect of the limiting member, all rollers 11 can be prevented from moving out of the U-shaped guide rail 23, ensuring safety.

[0029] In this embodiment, L-shaped mounting plates 14 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the bottom of the tray 1. Several pins 15 are distributed along the extension direction of the mounting plates 14. Bearings 16 are sleeved on the pins 15 to be used as rollers 11.

[0030] based on Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the pressure plate assembly 3 includes a fastening nut 31, a pressure rod 32 located on top of the tray 1, and two lifting rods 33 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the tray 1. The bottom of the lifting rod 33 has a hook 34, and the sides of the tray 1 have lifting holes 12. In this embodiment, L-shaped connecting plates 17 are distributed on both sides of the tray 1, and the lifting holes 12 are located on the connecting plates 17. The bottom of the lifting rod 33 hooks onto the lifting hole 12 via the hook 34, and the top of the lifting rod 33 slides through the pressure rod 32, which presses against the top of the battery 100. The fastening nut 31 is screwed onto the top of the lifting rod 33 from the top and presses against the pressure rod 32. When the battery 100 is placed on the tray 1, tightening the fastening nut 31 allows the pressure rod 32 to press firmly against the top of the battery 100, preventing the battery 100 from shaking. When the battery 100 needs to be replaced, the fastening nut 31 is loosened, and the pressure plate assembly 3 is removed from the tray 1.

[0031] Example 2:

[0032] This embodiment provides a battery bracket, which differs from the solution in Embodiment 1 in the arrangement of the abutment member 4 and the limiting member.

[0033] In this embodiment, based on Figure 5 As shown, the battery tray also includes an electromagnetic lock 7. The first limiting member 5 and the second limiting member 6 are both located on the inner wall of the battery compartment 2. The second limiting member 6 is located between the first limiting member 5 and the side outlet 21. The abutment member 4 is located at the bottom of the tray 1. When the tray 1 moves into the side outlet 21, the abutment member 4 abuts against the first limiting member 5 and is connected to each other through the electromagnetic lock 7. The switch of the electromagnetic lock 7 is located near the side outlet 21. Specifically, the switch of the electromagnetic lock 7 can be located on the side of the tray 1 facing the side outlet 21, or it can be located on the inner wall of the battery compartment 2 near the side outlet 21.

[0034] After the operator pulls tray 1 to move it a certain distance away from the side exit 21, the second limiting member 6 abuts against the abutment member 4 to prevent tray 1 from being completely removed from the battery compartment 2 and falling off the movement guide rail. At this point, the operator can perform maintenance or replacement of the battery 100. After maintenance or replacement, the operator pushes tray 1 to fully enter the battery compartment 2. Tray 1 moves until the first limiting member 5 abuts against the abutment member 4, and the electromagnetic lock 7 securely connects the first limiting member 5 and the abutment member 4, thus fixing tray 1 in place. When replacement or maintenance is needed again, simply press the switch of the electromagnetic lock 7 to unlock it, and the above operation can be repeated. Since the first limiting member 5 is deeply embedded inside the battery compartment 2, it is difficult for the operator to access. Connecting it with the electromagnetic lock 7 and placing the switch of the electromagnetic lock 7 near the side exit 21 makes it easier for the operator to fix tray 1.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
