The charging interface 6 can be directly connected to the charging cable to complete the charging function of the battery body 2. The battery switch 7 can facilitate the user to control the power supply of the battery body 2, thereby improving the safety of the battery pack.

[0028] In actual use, the operator first inserts the battery pack casing 1 into the robot's chest cavity. At this time, the spring in the plunger spring switch 301 will be compressed. After the battery pack casing 1 is inserted into place, the spring will extend again and engage with the robot's chest cavity using its elasticity, thus completing the fixation of the battery pack. At the same time, the quick-connect female connector 4 on the base plate 102 contacts the quick-connect male connector in the robot's chest cavity. The battery body 2 is quickly powered through the quick-connect female connector 4 and the quick-connect male connector. When the battery pack needs to be removed, the plunger spring switch 301 is powered on, causing the plunger to retract and separate from the robot's chest cavity. Then the battery pack casing 1 can be pulled out for replacement.

[0029] In this embodiment, a foam block 10 is provided between the top of the battery body 2 and the top plate 101. The foam block 10 is disposed between multiple side plates 103.

The bottom sides of the top plate 101 are fixedly provided with connecting components 9 for connecting the battery body 2. Specifically, the connecting components 9 include connecting plates 901 fixed to the bottom of the top plate 101. Both connecting plates 901 are threaded with fastening bolts 902. A rubber pad 903 is fixedly provided at the end of the fastening bolt 902 near the battery body 2. The rubber pad 903 abuts against the battery body 2. The outer wall of both connecting plates 901 is machined with a storage groove 904, and the fastening bolt 902 is located in the storage groove 904.

[0032] When it is necessary to replace the battery body 2, the worker first separates the top plate 101 from the four side plates 103, then grasps the handle 8 to move the top plate 101 upward. When the top plate 101 moves upward, the battery body 2 is moved upward together through the fastening bolts 902 on the two connecting plates 901. This can improve the disassembly efficiency of the battery body 2. When reinstalling the new battery body 2, the worker places the battery body 2 between the two connecting plates 901, then tightens the two fastening bolts 902, so that the rubber pad 903 is firmly abutted against the battery body 2. Then the battery body 2 can be inserted into the four side plates 103 for installation.

[0033] Finally: The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
