Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the battery rack provided in this embodiment of the utility model; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the battery rack structure provided in another embodiment of the present utility model from another perspective; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the right-angle bracket structure provided in an embodiment of the present utility model; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the support plate and plastic steel plate structure provided in an embodiment of this utility model. Figures 1 to 4The battery rack structure shown includes: a support frame 1, a support plate 2, and limiting blocks 3. The support frame 1 has a square structure and four columns 11 are provided at the four corners of the support frame 1. The support plate 2 is provided on the support frame 1 and has a plurality of first positioning holes 21. The plurality of first positioning holes 21 are distributed in a rectangular array on the support plate 2. There are four limiting blocks 3. The limiting blocks 3 have first mounting holes 51 that match the first positioning holes 21. The four limiting blocks 3 are arranged in a rectangular array on the support plate 2.

[0027] For example, in this embodiment of the present invention, the support plate 2 is a steel plate made of Q235 material. The support frame 1 is suspended on the ground by the columns 11 set at its four corners. The support plate 2 is horizontally set on the support frame 1 to improve the load-bearing capacity of the overall structure. The battery pack to be transferred is placed at the center of the support plate 2. The limiting block 3 is set around the battery pack, and screws are set on the first mounting hole 51 on the limiting block 3 and the first positioning hole on the support plate 2 to fix the limiting block 3 on the support plate 2. Thus, the limiting block 3 clamps and fixes the battery pack on the support plate 2. Then, the entire battery rack structure is lifted from the bottom of the support plate 2 to realize the transfer of the battery pack. By setting multiple first positioning holes 21 at the bottom of the support plate 2, the limiting block 3 can be fixed at different positions according to the different sizes of the battery pack set on the support plate 2. Thus, the battery rack structure can be compatible with the transfer of battery packs of different sizes, thereby improving the compatibility of the battery rack. Compared to traditional methods where one battery rack corresponds to one size of battery pack, this battery rack can accommodate different sizes of battery packs by adjusting the placement of the limiting block 3, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.

[0028] This utility model provides a battery rack structure in which a support plate 2 is mounted on a support frame 1, a battery pack is placed on the support plate 2, and a limiting block 3 is fixed around the battery pack, so that the battery pack is clamped and fixed on the support plate 2. By opening multiple first positioning holes 21 on the support plate 2, and the first mounting holes 51 on the limiting block 3 cooperating with the first positioning holes 21, the limiting block 3 can adjust its position according to battery packs of different sizes. This allows the limiting block 3 to clamp and fix battery packs of different sizes on the support plate 2, effectively solving the problem of low compatibility in the prior art.

[0029] Optionally, the support frame 1 is composed of four right-angle brackets 12 spliced ​​together.

[0030] Exemplary, in embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2As shown, the support frame 1 is assembled from four right-angle brackets 12. The assembly method makes the manufacturing of the support frame 1 more convenient, thereby reducing its manufacturing difficulty and production cost. At the same time, since the support frame 1 is composed of four identical right-angle brackets 12, if one of the right-angle brackets 12 is damaged during use, the support frame 1 can continue to work normally by replacing the right-angle bracket 12, without having to replace the entire support frame 1, thereby further reducing production costs.

[0031] Optionally, it also includes a first connecting pipe 41, on which a second mounting hole 52 is provided. The right-angle bracket 12 includes a first bracket pipe 121 and a second bracket pipe 122, which are vertically connected. A column 11 is provided at the junction of the first bracket pipe 121 and the second bracket pipe 122. The ends of the first bracket pipe 121 and the second bracket pipe 122 away from the column 11 are provided with a third mounting hole 53 that matches the second mounting hole 52. The first bracket pipe 121 of the right-angle bracket 12 and the second bracket pipe 122 of another right-angle bracket 12 are connected by the first connecting pipe 41.

[0032] Exemplary, in embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first support tube 121 and the second support tube 122 form a right angle, and a column mounting hole 13 is provided at the right angle. The column 11 is inserted into the column mounting hole 13 and fixed with screws. By providing a third mounting hole 53 on the first support tube 121 and the second support tube 122, the first support tube 121 and the second support tube 122 on two adjacent right-angle supports 12 can be fixed through the first connecting tube 41, which can increase the connection stability between the two adjacent right-angle supports 12, thereby improving the stability of this battery rack. Figure 2 The first connecting pipe 41 is in an uninstalled state. When the first connecting pipe 41 is installed, it is arranged as follows: Figure 2 The first connecting tube 41 is moved to the lower right to approach the edge of the support frame 1, so that one side of the first connecting tube 41 is close to the first support tube 121 of a right-angle bracket 12, and the other side is close to the second support tube 122 of another right-angle bracket 12. It is then connected and fixed by inserting screws into the second mounting hole 52 and the third mounting hole 53. This structure is simple, easy to operate, and improves the ease of operation of this battery rack.

[0033] Optionally, multiple second mounting holes 52 are provided, and the multiple second mounting holes 52 are arranged at intervals; multiple third mounting holes 53 are provided, and the multiple third mounting holes 53 are arranged at intervals.

[0034] Exemplary, in embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the second mounting hole 52 is arranged along the length direction of the first connecting pipe 41, and the third mounting hole 53 is arranged along the length direction of the first support pipe 121 and the second support pipe 122. By setting multiple second mounting holes 52 and multiple third mounting holes 53, the first connecting pipe can fix two adjacent right-angle supports 12 at different positions, thereby adjusting the distance between two adjacent supports 12, thus increasing the overall area of ​​the support frame 1. This allows the structure of this material rack to adapt to battery packs of different sizes. When it is necessary to transport a battery pack larger than the current support frame 1, the size can be adjusted by adjusting the different mounting hole positions of the second mounting hole 52 and the third mounting hole 53, thereby further improving the compatibility of the battery rack structure.

[0035] Optionally, the right-angle bracket 12 includes a third bracket tube 123 and a fourth bracket tube 124. The third bracket tube 123 is arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the first bracket tube 121, and the fourth bracket tube 124 is arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the second bracket tube 122.

[0036] Exemplary, in embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, by setting the third support tube 123 and the fourth support tube 124, when the support plate 2 is placed on the support frame 1, the support plate 2 can be supported not only by the first support tube 121 and the second support tube 122, but also by the third support tube 123 and the fourth support tube 124. This enables the battery rack structure to transport heavier battery packs, thereby further improving the stability of the battery rack structure.

[0037] Optionally, it also includes a second connecting pipe 42, on which a fourth mounting hole 54 is provided. The end of the third support pipe 123 away from the second support pipe 122 and the end of the fourth support pipe 124 away from the first support pipe 121 are provided with a fifth mounting hole 55. The third support pipe 123 of the right-angle bracket 12 and the fourth support pipe 124 of the other right-angle bracket 12 are connected through the second connecting pipe 42.

[0038] Exemplary, in embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, by opening fifth mounting holes 55 on the third support tube 123 and the fourth support tube 124, the third support tube 123 and the fourth support tube 124 on two adjacent right-angle supports 12 are fixed through the second connecting tube 42, which increases the connection stability between the two adjacent right-angle supports 12, thereby further improving the stability of this battery rack. By inserting screws into the fourth mounting hole 54 and the fifth mounting hole 55 for connection and fixation, this structure is simple and easy to operate, further improving the ease of operation of this battery rack. Figure 2 The second connecting pipe 42 is in an uninstalled state. When the second connecting pipe 42 is installed, it is arranged as follows: Figure 2 Move from the middle to the lower left, so that one side of the second connecting tube 42 is close to the third support tube 123 of a right-angle bracket 12, and the other side is close to the fourth support tube 124 of another right-angle bracket 12.

[0039] Optionally, multiple fourth mounting holes 54 are provided, and the multiple fourth mounting holes 54 are arranged at intervals; multiple fifth mounting holes 55 are provided, and the multiple fifth mounting holes 55 are arranged at intervals.

[0040] Exemplary, in embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the fourth mounting hole 54 is arranged along the length of the second connecting pipe 42, and the fifth mounting hole 55 is arranged along the length of the third support pipe 123 and the fourth support pipe 124. When the first connecting pipe 41 is adjusted to connect with the first support pipe 121 and the second support pipe 122 at different positions, the second connecting pipe 42 will also connect with the third support pipe 123 and the fourth support pipe 124 at different positions. By providing multiple fourth mounting holes 54 and fifth mounting holes 55, it is convenient for the second connecting pipe 42 to be connected, thereby improving the ease of operation of this battery rack.

[0041] Optionally, a plastic steel plate 6 is provided on the support plate 2, and a second positioning hole 61 matching the first positioning hole 21 is provided on the plastic steel plate 6.

[0042] For example, in this embodiment of the present invention, a plastic steel plate 6 is provided on the support plate 2 so that the battery pack is placed on the plastic steel plate 6 for fixation. By laying a layer of plastic steel plate 6 on the support plate 2, the surface of the support plate 2 can be protected. The plastic steel plate 6 can be made into a shape that matches the four right-angle brackets 12, so that when one of the plastic steel plates 6 is worn out by the battery pack, only one plastic steel plate 6 needs to be replaced for continued use. This increases the service life of the rack structure and reduces the cost of use. Compared with the support plate 2, the plastic steel plate 6 also has the characteristics of being beautiful and easy to clean.

[0043] Optionally, a lifting clamp module 7 is provided on the support plate 2. The lifting clamp module 7 includes a lifting rod 71 and a horizontal clamping rod 72. The lifting rod 71 is arranged vertically and is vertically connected to the horizontal clamping rod 72.

[0044] Exemplary, in embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1As shown, after the limiting block 3 clamps and fixes the battery pack in the horizontal plane, in order to prevent the battery pack from moving in the vertical plane, a lifting clamp module 7 is also provided on the support plate 2. The lifting rod 71 moves up and down in the vertical direction, which drives the horizontal clamping rod 72 to move up and down in the vertical direction as well, so that the horizontal clamping rod 72 is in contact with the upper surface of the battery pack and provides vertical pressure to the battery pack. In this way, the battery pack is also clamped and fixed on the support plate 2 in the vertical direction. By adding the lifting clamp module 7, the stability of this battery rack structure is further improved.

[0045] Optionally, a forklift slot 8 is provided at the bottom of the support frame 1.

[0046] For example, in this embodiment of the present invention, the battery rack structure is usually transported by inserting a forklift into the bottom of the support plate 2 and lifting the battery rack structure. Two forklift slots 8 are respectively provided on each side of the bottom of the support frame 1, so that the battery rack structure can be lifted smoothly after the forklift is inserted into the bottom of the support plate 2, preventing the forklift operator from inserting it crookedly and causing the battery rack structure to slip when lifted, thereby further increasing the ease of operation of the battery rack structure.
