Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment of the battery swapping pallet with automatic anti-slip-out locking includes a forklift arm 1 and a support plate 2. The support plate 2 is installed on the upper end of the forklift arm 1. Two support plates 3 are installed on the upper end of the support plate 2. Both sides of the lower end of the two support plates 3 are equipped with brackets 4. A pallet frame 5 is installed on both brackets 4. The pallet frame 5 is used to place the swapping battery. A rotating rod 6 is installed inside the pallet frame 5. A locking rod 7 is installed on the surface of the rotating rod 6 and inside the pallet frame 5. When the rotating rod 6 rotates, it can drive the locking rod 7 to rotate out of the pallet frame 5, thereby limiting the swapping battery with the locking rod 7 and preventing the swapping battery from falling off the pallet frame 5. One end of the rotating rod 6 extends to the pallet frame 5. A connecting rod 8 is installed on the surface of the rotating rod 6 outside the tray frame 5. An L-shaped handle 9 is installed on the upper part of the connecting rod 8. The L-shaped handle 9 facilitates the rotation of the rotating rod 6. A locking component is installed at the rear end of the tray frame 5. The locking component is used to lock the connecting rod 8, so that the locking rod 7 is in a horizontal state, which is convenient for inserting batteries. A connecting plate 14 is installed on the surface of the connecting rod 8. A fixing rod 15 is installed on one side of the L-shaped handle 9. A return spring 16 is installed between the connecting plate 14 and the fixing rod 15. The return spring 16 is used to pull the connecting rod 8 to make the connecting rod 8 in a horizontal state, so that the locking rod 7 on the surface of the rotating rod 6 is in a vertical locking state.

[0023] Specifically, the locking assembly includes a mounting plate 1001, a fixing bolt 1002, a locking hook plate 1003, a pull spring 1004, and a fixing plate 1005. The mounting plate 1001 is installed at the rear end of the pallet frame 5, and the fixing bolt 1002 is installed at the upper end of the mounting plate 1001. The locking hook plate 1003 is rotatably connected to the surface of the fixing bolt 1002. The locking hook plate 1003 is F-shaped. The fixing plate 1005 is installed at the upper end of the pallet frame 5 in front of the locking hook plate 1003. The pull spring 1004 is installed between the fixing plate 1005 and the locking hook plate 1003. The locking hook plate 1003 can rotate under the action of the fixing bolt 1002, and the pull spring 1004 pulls the locking hook plate 1003, which makes it easy for the locking hook plate 1003 to return to its original position after being hit by the battery.

[0024] Furthermore, the locking hook plate 1003 has an inclined surface 11 near the end of the connecting rod 8. When the L-shaped handle 9 is rotated to drive the connecting rod 8 to rotate, the connecting rod 8 and the inclined surface 11 on the locking hook plate 1003 come into contact. Under the action of the inclined surface 11, the connecting rod 8 can move into the locking hook plate 1003, thereby limiting the connecting rod 8 and making it easier to keep the locking rod 7 in a horizontal state, which is convenient for inserting the battery.

[0025] Furthermore, the locking rod 7 and the rotating rod 6 are arranged vertically, which allows the locking rod 7 to effectively limit the battery swapping and prevent the battery swapping from falling off the tray body. The locking rod 7 and the connecting rod 8 are arranged vertically in space.

[0026] Furthermore, L-shaped protective plates 12 are symmetrically installed at the rear of both ends of the pallet frame 5. Fixing rods 15 are installed on the surface of the L-shaped protective plate 12 near the L-shaped handle 9. The L-shaped protective plates 12 are used to limit the two sides of the battery swapping device to prevent the battery swapping device from falling off the two sides of the pallet frame 5.

[0027] Furthermore, several universal balls 13 are installed in a linear array on the upper end of the tray frame 5 on both sides of the rotating rod 6. The setting of the universal balls 13 effectively reduces the friction when the battery moves on the tray frame 5, making it convenient to push and pull the battery. The working principle of the universal balls 13 is a known existing technology, so it will not be described in detail.

[0028] The usage method of this embodiment is as follows: First, rotate the L-shaped handle 9. The L-shaped handle 9 drives the connecting rod 8 and the rotating rod 6 to rotate. When the connecting rod 8 rotates, it contacts the inclined surface 11 on the locking hook plate 1003. Under the action of the inclined surface 11, the locking hook plate 1003 rotates around the fixing bolt 1002 at a certain angle, so that the locking hook plate 1003 hooks and limits the connecting rod 8. At the same time, under the action of the pulling spring 1004, the locking hook plate 1003 returns to its original position. When the battery is placed into the tray frame 5, the battery contacts the universal ball 13 on the tray frame 5. Under the action of the omnidirectional ball 13, the battery can move on the pallet frame 5. When the battery is placed inside the pallet frame 5, it collides with the locking hook plate 1003. The locking hook plate 1003 rotates around the fixing bolt 1002 at a certain angle. At the same time, the return spring 16 pulls the connecting rod 8, and the connecting rod 8 disengages from the inside of the locking hook plate 1003. The connecting rod 8 rotates to a horizontal state, and the locking rod 7 on the rotating rod 6 is in a vertical state, thereby limiting the battery and effectively preventing the battery from accidentally slipping out during the movement of the pallet frame 5.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
