[0007] Furthermore, the inner panel has a through hole on the front side extending to the back, and a power terminal is provided on the front side of the inner panel. The size of the power terminal is larger than the diameter of the through hole. The power terminal is electrically connected to a spring wire, which passes through the through hole to the back of the inner panel. Wiring slots are provided at the top and bottom of the inner panel.
[0008] Furthermore, side grooves are provided on both sides of the inner plate, and the two fixed arm plates are embedded inside the side grooves. A protrusion is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed arm plate, and the height of the protrusion is higher than the height of the top of the side groove.
[0009] Furthermore, the vertical displacement mechanism includes a vertical plate, a rail groove on one side of the vertical plate, a threaded rod rotatably sleeved in the rail groove, a threaded moving block threadedly sleeved on the side wall of the threaded rod, one side of the threaded moving block being connected to one end of the horizontal displacement mechanism, a fitting groove on the top of the vertical plate, a bevel gear meshing assembly being provided in the fitting groove, and a motor being fixedly installed on the other side of the vertical plate, the output shaft of the motor passing through the fitting groove and being connected to the top of the threaded rod through the bevel gear meshing assembly.

[0023] The specific embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 This utility model provides a new energy battery swapping storage cabinet, including a cabinet body 1, a plurality of battery compartments 11 are provided on the cabinet body 1, and a door 2 is provided in the battery compartment 11. Vertical displacement mechanisms 3 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the front of the cabinet body 1. The output ends of the two vertical displacement mechanisms 3 are fixedly connected to the horizontal displacement mechanisms 4. The top output end of the horizontal displacement mechanisms 4 is fixedly connected to the battery tray 5, which is used to place the battery. The door 2 adopts a pull-out structure. When the door 2 is opened, it is used to help push the battery stored in the battery compartment 11 to the top of the battery tray 5 for placement. When the door 2 is closed, it is used to help push the battery placed on the top of the battery tray 5 into the battery compartment 11 for storage.
[0025] When using the battery, to store it in the lower battery compartment 11, simply open the door 2 and insert the battery into the compartment 11. To store the battery in the higher battery compartment 11, first open the corresponding door 2, then place the battery on top of the battery tray 5. Through the cooperation of the horizontal displacement mechanism 4 and the vertical displacement mechanism 3, the battery tray 5 is moved horizontally and vertically to the bottom of the open door 2 in front of the designated battery compartment 11. Due to the structure of the door 2, when the door 2 is closed, the battery placed on top of the battery tray 5 can be pushed to directly enter the battery compartment 11. Similarly, when retrieving the battery, the door 2 can be opened to directly remove the battery from the battery compartment 11. This makes the storage cabinet safer and more convenient to use.
[0026] Reference Figure 2 The door 2 includes two fixed arm plates 21, which are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the battery compartment 11 on both sides. The inner sides of the two fixed arm plates 21 are provided with sliding grooves, and movable arm plates 22 are slidably sleeved in the sliding grooves of the two fixed arm plates 21. The door panel body 23 is fixedly connected to the front end of the two movable arm plates 22, and the inner panels 24 are fixedly installed on the inner sides of the two movable arm plates 22.
[0027] When the hatch 2 is in use, pulling the hatch body 23 causes the movable arm plate 22 to slide within the groove of the fixed arm plate 21, and the movable arm plate 22 drives the inner plate 24 to move synchronously until the hatch body 23 moves out of the battery compartment 11. When the battery tray 5 moves to the bottom of the open hatch 2, the battery placed on top of the battery tray 5 is positioned between the hatch body 23 and the inner plate 24. During the process of closing the hatch 2 by pushing the hatch body 23, the hatch body 23 generates force on the battery placed on top of the battery tray 5. The pushing effect assists in retrieving the battery from the battery compartment 11. Similarly, when the door 2 is opened, the battery stored in the battery compartment 11 is located between the door panel body 23 and the inner panel 24. As the inner panel 24 moves with the movable arm plate 22, it pushes the stored battery, thus assisting in retrieving the battery from the battery compartment 11. The battery that slides out of the battery compartment 11 is placed on top of the battery tray 5. The vertical displacement mechanism 3 can lower the battery height for easy retrieval.
[0028] Reference Figure 3 The inner panel 24 has a through hole 241 extending to the back on the front side. The inner panel 24 has a power terminal 242 on the front side. The size of the power terminal 242 is larger than the diameter of the through hole 241. The power terminal 242 is electrically connected to a spring wire 243. The spring wire 243 passes through the through hole 241 to the back of the inner panel 24. Wiring slots 244 are provided at the top and bottom of the inner panel 24.
[0029] When installing the door 2, the spring wire 243 can be connected to the power system of the cabinet 1, and the battery can be charged through the power connector 242. With this setting, when the door 2 is opened, the inner panel 24 pushes the power connector 242, causing the power connector 242 to move to the outside of the battery compartment 11. Thus, the battery connection operation can be carried out outside the battery compartment 11, making the operation more convenient. By setting wiring slots 244 at the top and bottom of the inner panel 24, it is convenient to carry out wiring inside the battery compartment 11.
[0030] Reference Figure 3 The inner plate 24 has side grooves 245 on both sides, and two fixed arm plates 21 are embedded in the side grooves 245. The top of the fixed arm plate 21 is fixedly connected to a protrusion 211, and the height of the protrusion 211 is higher than the top height of the side groove 245.
[0031] When the hatch 2 is opened, there is a risk of the movable arm plate 22 falling off as it slides in the groove of the fixed arm plate 21. However, by setting a protrusion 211, when the inner plate 24 moves to a certain position, it contacts the protrusion 211. The protrusion 211 restricts the movement distance of the inner plate 24, thereby enabling the inner plate 24 to position the movable arm plate 22 and preventing the movable arm plate 22 from falling off from the groove of the fixed arm plate 21.
[0032] Reference Figure 4 The vertical displacement mechanism 3 includes a vertical plate 31. A rail groove is opened on one side of the vertical plate 31, and a threaded rod 32 is rotatably sleeved in the rail groove. A threaded moving block 33 is threadedly sleeved on the side wall of the threaded rod 32. One side of the threaded moving block 33 is connected to one end of the horizontal displacement mechanism 4. A fitting groove is opened on the top of the vertical plate 31, and a bevel gear meshing group 35 is set in the fitting groove. A motor 34 is fixedly installed on the other side of the vertical plate 31. The output shaft of the motor 34 passes through the fitting groove and is connected to the top of the threaded rod 32 through the bevel gear meshing group 35.
[0033] The motor 34 outputs power, which is transmitted through the bevel gear meshing group 35 to rotate the threaded rod 32. The threaded rod 32 is controlled to move up and down through the threaded engagement relationship, thereby achieving the vertical displacement output effect.
[0034] Reference Figure 5 The lateral displacement mechanism 4 includes several horizontal plates 41, and a top slider 42 is slidably sleeved on the side wall of the several horizontal plates 41. The battery support plate 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the top slider 42.
[0035] In use, by moving the battery tray 5, the top slider 42 can slide laterally on the horizontal plate 41 through the connection between the horizontal plate 41 and the top slider 42, thereby realizing the lateral displacement output effect of the lateral displacement mechanism 4.
[0036] Reference Figure 5Several horizontal plates 41 are provided with several wheel grooves at their top, and several rollers 43 are installed in several wheel grooves. The rollers 43 are used to support the vertical weight of the top slider 42.
[0037] After the battery is placed on top of the battery tray 5, a certain friction will be generated between the horizontal plate 41 and the top slider 42 under the influence of gravity, which will affect the smoothness of the lateral displacement output of the lateral displacement mechanism 4. By setting the roller 43, the friction between the horizontal plate 41 and the top slider 42 is reduced, making the lateral displacement output of the lateral displacement mechanism 4 smoother.
[0038] Reference Figure 6 The transverse cross section of plate 41 is T-shaped.
[0039] By designing the shape of the horizontal plate 41, the risk of bending and deformation when the horizontal plate 41 is subjected to weight can be reduced.

The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
