Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of new energy battery technology, and in particular to a tooling vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In applications such as new energy storage systems and communication base stations, outdoor cabinets serve as the core carriers of battery packs, and the installation efficiency of the underlying battery packs directly impacts the overall deployment speed. Currently, the industry commonly uses manual handling to push the battery packs into the bottom mounting layer of the cabinet. Manual pushing requires multiple people working together, and the operating space at the bottom of the cabinet is low, requiring personnel to maintain a bent-over or semi-squatting posture, resulting in high labor intensity and long operation time. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a tooling cart that can realize the mechanization of battery pack loading into the cabinet and save the time of battery pack loading into the cabinet.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A tooling vehicle includes a vehicle body, a plurality of first limiting members, a sliding mechanism, and a lifting mechanism. Along the width direction of the vehicle body, the plurality of first limiting members are slidably connected to opposite ends of the vehicle body, and a limiting space is defined between two adjacent first limiting members. The limiting space is used to limit a battery pack. The sliding mechanism is movably connected to the vehicle body, the sliding mechanism is located within the limiting space, and the sliding mechanism and the first limiting members are spaced apart. The sliding mechanism is used to place the battery pack. The lifting mechanism is movably connected to the vehicle body and is used to adjust the height of the vehicle body.

[0006] In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a rotating component. Along the height direction of the vehicle body, one end of the rotating component is threadedly connected to the vehicle body, and the other end is used to abut against the working surface.

[0007] In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a chassis, and along the height direction of the vehicle body, the end of the rotating member away from the vehicle body is rotatably connected to the chassis, and the chassis is used to abut against the working surface.

[0008] In one embodiment, the first limiting member includes a first fixing member and a limiting strip. The vehicle body has an adjustment groove that extends along the width direction of the vehicle body. The limiting strip is slidably disposed along the length direction of the adjustment groove. The first fixing member passes through the limiting strip and the adjustment groove and is connected to the vehicle body to fix the limiting strip.

[0009] In one embodiment, the tooling vehicle includes a second limiting member, which is movably connected to the vehicle body. The second limiting member can be selectively moved relative to the vehicle body to a first position or a second position. In the first position, the second limiting member is used to restrict the movement of the battery pack along the length direction of the vehicle body; in the second position, the second limiting member releases the restriction on the battery pack.

[0010] In one embodiment, the second limiting member includes a limiting plate and a second fixing member. The limiting plate is rotatably connected to the vehicle body, and the second fixing member is used to fix the limiting plate and the vehicle body. When the limiting plate rotates to the first position, the limiting plate is higher than the sliding mechanism along the height direction of the vehicle body. When the limiting plate rotates to the second position, the limiting plate is lower than the sliding mechanism along the height direction of the vehicle body.

[0011] In one embodiment, the sliding mechanism includes multiple rollers, which are rotatably connected to the vehicle body along the length of the vehicle body. The rollers are used to hold the battery pack.

[0012] In one embodiment, the sliding mechanism includes a sliding platform that is slidably connected to the vehicle body, and the sliding platform is used to place the battery pack.

[0013] In one embodiment, the tooling vehicle includes a support member, and the sliding platform is connected to the support member on the side facing the vehicle body. The support member extends along the height direction of the vehicle body, and when the sliding platform slides out of the vehicle body, the support member is used to support the sliding platform.

[0014] In one embodiment, the support includes a first rod, a second rod, and a movable wheel. One end of the first rod is connected to the sliding platform, and the other end is threadedly connected to the second rod. The movable wheel is connected to the end of the second rod away from the first rod.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This application provides a tooling cart, including a vehicle body, multiple first limiting members, a sliding mechanism, and a lifting mechanism. Along the width direction of the vehicle body, the multiple first limiting members are slidably connected to opposite ends of the vehicle body, defining a limiting space between adjacent first limiting members. This limiting space is used to limit the battery pack. The sliding mechanism is movably connected to the vehicle body, located within the limiting space, and spaced apart from the first limiting members. The sliding mechanism is used to place the battery pack. The lifting mechanism is movably connected to the vehicle body and is used to adjust the height of the vehicle body. Compared to the prior art, the sliding mechanism of this application is located between two first limiting members, allowing both ends of the battery pack to extend out of the sliding mechanism. After the battery pack enters the cabinet, both ends can automatically fall into pre-set slots in the cabinet, making operation simple and efficient, avoiding the tediousness and errors of manual adjustment. Simultaneously, the first limiting members act as limiters when the battery pack enters the cabinet, ensuring accurate positioning of the battery pack. Attached Figure Description

[0026] In this utility model, the terms "set up," "equipped with," and "connected" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or an internal connection between two devices, components, or constituent parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] The terms “center,” “longitudinal,” “lateral,” “length,” “width,” “thickness,” “upper,” “lower,” “front,” “rear,” “left,” “right,” “vertical,” “horizontal,” “top,” “bottom,” “inner,” “outer,” “radial,” and “circumferential” indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0029] See Figure 1 This application provides a tooling vehicle, including a vehicle body 1, a plurality of first limiting members 2, a sliding mechanism 3, and a lifting mechanism 4. Along the width direction of the vehicle body 1, the plurality of first limiting members 2 are slidably connected to opposite ends of the vehicle body 1, and a limiting space 23 is defined between two adjacent first limiting members 2. The limiting space 23 is used to limit the battery pack. The sliding mechanism 3 is movably connected to the vehicle body 1, and the sliding mechanism 3 is located within the limiting space 23. The sliding mechanism 3 and the first limiting members 2 are spaced apart. The sliding mechanism 3 is used to place the battery pack. The lifting mechanism 4 is movably connected to the vehicle body 1 and is used to adjust the height of the vehicle body 1.

[0030] To clearly describe the embodiments, Figure 1 In the middle, the X direction represents the length direction of vehicle body 1, the Y direction represents the width direction of vehicle body 1, and the Z direction represents the height direction of vehicle body 1.

[0031] In practical applications, when the battery pack needs to be placed in the cabinet, it is first placed on the sliding mechanism 3 of the vehicle body 1. The vehicle body 1 has first limiting members 2 connected to opposite sides along its width direction. For example, two first limiting members 2 are connected to the left and right sides of the vehicle body 1 respectively. The space between the two first limiting members 2 is defined as a limiting space 23. The sliding mechanism 3 and the battery pack are both located within the limiting space 23. However, the sliding mechanism 3 is spaced apart from the first limiting members 2 along its width direction, while the battery pack contacts the first limiting members 2 along its width direction. Therefore, the first limiting members 2 on the left and right sides limit the battery pack in the width direction, preventing movement of the battery pack during transportation and ensuring its stable fixation. Furthermore, the first limiting members 2 and the vehicle body 1 are slidably connected, allowing adjustment of the size of the limiting space 23 to accommodate battery packs of different sizes.

[0032] Then, when the vehicle body 1 moves to the battery pack cabinet position, the lifting mechanism 4 is activated to adjust the height of the vehicle body 1 so that the battery pack is aligned with the cabinet. The sliding mechanism 3 is movably connected to the vehicle body 1, meaning that the sliding mechanism 3 can rotate or slide with the vehicle body 1. For example, the sliding mechanism 3 can slide with the vehicle body 1. After the battery pack is aligned with the cabinet, the operator moves the sliding mechanism 3 to slide it into the cabinet. Since the battery pack is wider than the sliding mechanism 3, both ends of the battery pack extend out of the sliding mechanism 3. Therefore, after the sliding mechanism 3 enters the cabinet, both ends of the battery pack can automatically fall into the preset slots in the cabinet. The operation is simple and efficient, avoiding the tediousness and errors of manual adjustment. At the same time, the first limiting member 2 plays a limiting role when the battery pack enters the cabinet, ensuring accurate positioning of the battery pack.

[0033] It should be noted that the above-mentioned movable connection can be a rotational connection or a sliding connection, and the specific form can be flexibly selected according to actual needs.

[0034] See again Figure 1 The lifting mechanism 4 includes a rotating component 41. Along the height direction of the vehicle body 1, one end of the rotating component 41 is threadedly connected to the vehicle body 1, and the other end is used to abut against the working surface.

[0035] In practical applications, the lifting mechanism 4 can be connected to the vehicle body 1 by rotation. One end of the rotating component 41 abuts against the working surface, and the other end is threadedly connected to the vehicle body 1. By rotating the rotating component 41 through the thread, the vehicle body 1 can move up and down relative to the rotating component 41, thereby adjusting the height of the vehicle body 1 above the working surface and ensuring precise docking of the battery pack with the cabinet. Operators only need to turn the rotating component 41 slightly to achieve fine-tuning of the height, greatly improving the efficiency and safety of cabinet insertion.

[0036] See again Figure 1 The lifting mechanism 4 also includes a chassis 42. Along the height direction of the vehicle body 1, the end of the rotating part 41 away from the vehicle body 1 is rotatably connected to the chassis 42, and the chassis 42 is used to abut against the working surface.

[0037] In practical applications, the chassis 42 is placed on the working surface, and the rotating part 41 contacts the working surface through the chassis 42. On the one hand, when the rotating part 41 rotates, it does not directly contact the working surface, which reduces the friction of the rotating part 41 and reduces the wear of the rotating part 41, thus extending its service life. On the other hand, the stability of the chassis 42 ensures that the vehicle body 1 remains stable during the lifting process, avoiding shaking, and further ensuring the safe placement of the battery pack into the cabinet.

[0038] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the lifting mechanism 4 can also adopt other structures, such as using a hydraulic cylinder as the lifting mechanism 4 to realize the height adjustment of the vehicle body 1.

[0039] See again Figure 1 The first limiting member 2 includes a first fixing member 22 and a limiting strip 21. The vehicle body 1 has an adjustment groove 11 that extends along the width direction of the vehicle body 1. The limiting strip 21 is slidably arranged along the length direction of the adjustment groove 11. The first fixing member 22 passes through the limiting strip 21 and the adjustment groove 11 and is connected to the vehicle body 1 to fix the limiting strip 21.

[0040] In practical applications, the first limiting component 2 can take the form of a limiting strip 21. The limiting strip 21 is connected to the vehicle body 1 through the adjustment groove 11. The operator can adjust the position of the limiting strip 21 according to the size of the battery pack to ensure accurate positioning when the battery pack is placed in the cabinet, avoid deviation, and improve the convenience and safety of operation. At the same time, the sliding design of the limiting strip 21 facilitates quick adjustment and adapts to different battery pack specifications, further optimizing work efficiency. After adjusting the position of the limiting strip 21, the limiting strip 21 and the vehicle body 1 are fixed by the first fixing component 22 to prevent the limiting strip 21 from moving. The operator only needs to guide the battery pack along the limiting strip 21 into the cabinet to achieve accurate docking, reduce operational errors, and improve cabinet placement efficiency.

[0041] The first fastener 22 can be a screw or bolt.

[0042] See Figure 2 The tooling vehicle includes a second limiting member 5, which is movably connected to the vehicle body 1. The second limiting member 5 can be selectively moved to a first position or a second position relative to the vehicle body 1. In the first position, the second limiting member 5 is used to restrict the movement of the battery pack along the length direction of the vehicle body 1; in the second position, the second limiting member 5 releases the restriction on the battery pack.

[0043] In practical applications, the first limiting member 2 is mainly used to restrict the movement of the battery pack along the width direction of the vehicle body 1, while the second limiting member 5 provides control in the length direction. The two work together to ensure accurate positioning of the battery pack in all directions during the cabinet insertion process and flexible operation. Specifically, the second limiting member 5 is movably connected to the vehicle body 1, that is, the second limiting member 5 can be rotatably or slidably connected to the vehicle body 1. The second limiting member 5 can rotate or move to the first position. At this time, the second limiting member 5 effectively restricts the movement of the battery pack along the length direction, preventing the battery pack from shifting during the transportation of the vehicle body 1. When it is necessary to move the battery pack to insert it into the cabinet, the second limiting member 5 can easily rotate or move to the second position, releasing the restriction on the battery pack along the length direction. This allows the operator to flexibly adjust the position of the battery pack, ensuring its smooth insertion into the cabinet and improving the convenience of operation.

[0044] See again Figure 2 The second limiting member 5 includes a limiting plate 51 and a second fixing member 52. The limiting plate 51 is rotatably connected to the vehicle body 1, and the second fixing member 52 is used to fix the limiting plate 51 and the vehicle body 1. When the limiting plate 51 rotates to the first position, the limiting plate 51 is higher than the sliding mechanism 3 along the height direction of the vehicle body 1. When the limiting plate 51 rotates to the second position, the limiting plate 51 is lower than the sliding mechanism 3 along the height direction of the vehicle body 1.

[0045] In practical applications, along the length of the vehicle body 1, one or both ends of the vehicle body 1 are connected to a limiting plate 51. The limiting plate 51 can be rotatably connected to the vehicle body 1. The limiting plate 51 can rotate relative to the vehicle body 1 to a first position or a second position. After the limiting plate 51 rotates to the corresponding position, the second fixing member 52 locks the limiting plate 51 and the vehicle body 1 to ensure stability. When the limiting plate 51 rotates to the first position, the limiting plate 51 is higher than the sliding mechanism 3. Since the limiting plate 51 is located at the end of the vehicle body 1 along the length direction, the battery pack is effectively restricted in the length direction, preventing it from moving back and forth along the length direction during transportation. When the limiting plate 51 rotates to the second position, the limiting plate 51 is lower than the sliding mechanism 3, and the battery pack can move freely back and forth along the length direction. At this time, the battery pack can be pushed into the cabinet.

[0046] In other embodiments, the limiting plate 51 may also be slidably connected to the vehicle body 1 and move to the first position or the second position in a sliding manner.

[0047] See Figure 3 The sliding mechanism 3 includes multiple rollers 31. Along the length of the vehicle body 1, the multiple rollers 31 are rotatably connected to the vehicle body 1 in sequence. The rollers 31 are used to place the battery pack.

[0048] In practical applications, the sliding mechanism 3 can adopt a roller 31 structure. The roller 31 is rotatably connected to the vehicle body 1, and the battery pack is placed on the roller 31. The operator only needs to gently push the battery pack, and the roller 31 can rotate smoothly, reducing friction and allowing the battery pack to smoothly enter the cabinet. At the same time, since the roller 31 is located between the two first limiting members 2, the battery pack is restricted in the width direction by the first limiting members 2, avoiding lateral displacement. The roller 31 design not only improves the movement efficiency but also ensures the stability of the battery pack during transportation, further optimizing the operation process.

[0049] See Figure 4 The sliding mechanism 3 may include a sliding platform 32, which is slidably connected to the vehicle body 1. The sliding platform 32 is used to place the battery pack.

[0050] In another embodiment, the sliding mechanism 3 can adopt a sliding platform 32 structure in addition to the roller 31 structure. The sliding platform 32 can be slidably connected to the vehicle body 1 via a guide rail. The operator only needs to push the sliding platform 32 lightly, and the sliding platform 32 can drive the battery pack to move smoothly along the guide rail and enter the cabinet. Since the sliding platform 32 is located between the two first limiting members 2, the width of the sliding platform 32 is smaller than that of the battery pack. The sliding platform 32 can extend into the cabinet, and both ends of the battery pack extend out of the sliding platform 32. After entering the cabinet, both ends of the battery pack can be connected to the snap-fit ​​structure inside the cabinet to ensure that the battery pack is fixed in the cabinet. After the battery pack is snapped in, the sliding platform 32 can exit the cabinet along the guide rail. The operation is simple and saves space effectively.

[0051] See again Figure 4 The tooling car includes a support member 6. The sliding platform 32 is connected to the support member 6 on the side facing the vehicle body 1. The support member 6 extends along the height direction of the vehicle body 1. When the sliding platform 32 slides out of the vehicle body 1, the support member 6 is used to support the sliding platform 32.

[0052] In practical applications, when the sliding platform 32 is removed from the vehicle body 1, a portion of the sliding platform 32 is suspended in the air. Due to the heavy weight of the battery pack, the sliding platform 32 may be overturned by the battery pack. To avoid this situation, this application provides a support member 6, which is connected to the sliding platform 32. Specifically, the support member 6 is connected to the end of the sliding platform 32 that is away from the vehicle body 1 along its length. When the sliding platform 32 slides out of the vehicle body 1, the support member 6 extends out and abuts against the working surface, providing stable support and preventing the sliding platform 32 from overturning.

[0053] See again Figure 4The support member 6 includes a first rod 61, a second rod 62 and a movable wheel 63. One end of the first rod 61 is connected to the sliding platform 32, and the other end is threadedly connected to the second rod 62. The movable wheel 63 is connected to the end of the second rod 62 away from the first rod 61.

[0054] In practical applications, the support member 6 can adjust its height to match the height of the sliding platform 32. The length of the first rod 61 and the second rod 62 can be adjusted by rotating the screw thread. The movable wheel 63 is installed at the end of the second rod 62 near the working surface. The movable wheel 63 can roll along the working surface, providing support while reducing friction and ensuring that the sliding platform 32 moves smoothly.

[0055] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0056] Furthermore, in addition to indicating direction or positional relationship, some of the aforementioned terms may also have other meanings. For example, the term "above" may also be used in some cases to indicate a certain dependency or connection relationship. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0057] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
