Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery swapping cabinet technology, specifically a battery swapping cabinet battery storage and retrieval switching structure. Background Technology

[0002] A battery swapping cabinet is an intelligent device that provides a quick battery swapping service for electric vehicles (such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and low-speed electric vehicles). It typically consists of a cabinet, battery compartment, intelligent control system, charging module, and safety protection module. It can store, charge, test, and replace batteries. Users can easily remove old batteries and replace fully charged batteries by scanning codes or swiping cards, without having to wait for the batteries to charge for a long time.

[0003] In the prior art, utility model patent application number CN202220388364.1 discloses a battery swapping cabinet, including a cabinet body, an isolation section, and multiple battery compartments. The cabinet body has a receiving cavity with a first opening and a second opening, both used to connect the receiving cavity to the outside of the cabinet body. The isolation section is fixedly connected to the cabinet body, separating the receiving cavity into a first sub-cavity corresponding to the first opening and a second sub-cavity corresponding to the second opening. The isolation section has multiple first mounting holes connecting the first and second sub-cavities. Each battery compartment corresponds to one of the first mounting holes, passing through the first mounting holes to form a first part and a second part. The first part is located in the first sub-cavity, and the second part is located in the second sub-cavity. Each battery compartment has a battery cavity extending from the first part to the second part. The first part has a first through-hole, and the second part has a second through-hole. The first and second sub-cavities are connected through the battery cavity. Multiple battery compartments are connected in parallel to the first and second sub-cavities, enabling uniform temperature regulation.

[0028] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, provides further details:

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a battery swapping cabinet battery storage and retrieval reversing structure includes a battery swapping cabinet 1 and multiple battery compartments 2, which are arranged in a matrix on the battery swapping cabinet 1. The battery compartments 2 are integrally constructed within the battery swapping cabinet 1. A sliding bracket 3 is installed at the bottom of the interior of the battery compartment 2, and a sliding plate 4 is slidably mounted on the sliding bracket 3. It also includes a load-bearing plate 6. The sliding bracket 3 includes a pair of first sliding slots 301 and second sliding slots 302, with the pair of second sliding slots 302 located between the pair of first sliding slots 301. Each pair of second sliding slots 302 has a load-bearing plate 6 slidably mounted within it. The lower end face of the sliding plate 4 abuts against the upper end face of the load-bearing plate 6 and is slidably mounted within the first sliding slot 301. The load-bearing plate 6 includes a second locking strip 601. The lower end face of the load-bearing plate 6 is provided with a second locking strip 601 that matches the second sliding slot 302. The load-bearing plate 6 is slidably engaged in the second sliding slot 302 via the second locking strip 601. The slide plate 4 includes a first locking strip 401. The lower end face of the slide plate 4 is provided with a first locking strip 401 that corresponds one-to-one with each of the first sliding slots 301. The slide plate 4 is slidably engaged in the first sliding slot 301 via the first locking strip 401. The slide plate 4 can be pulled out of the battery compartment 2 via the first locking strip 401 and the first sliding slot 301, facilitating battery storage. Furthermore, the load-bearing plate 6 increases the stability of the slide plate 4 after it is pulled out, preventing the engagement between the slide plate 4 and the sliding seat 3 from becoming unstable.

[0031] like Figures 2-6 As shown, the slide plate 4 also includes a linkage block 404. A groove 602 is formed in a portion of the upper surface of the load-bearing plate 6 away from the opening of the battery compartment 2. A mounting groove 402 is formed in the upper surface of the slide plate 4 away from the opening of the battery compartment 2. The linkage block 404 is inserted into the mounting groove 402, and its lower end extends into the groove 602. The linkage block 404 includes a plate 405, with a plate 405 extending into the groove 602 on its lower surface. Multiple mounting bolts 406 are provided on the linkage block 404, and the mounting bolts 406 are threaded onto the slide plate 4. The sliding bracket 3 also includes a limiting baffle 303. The upper end face of the sliding bracket 3 is close to the opening of the battery compartment 2 and is located between a pair of second sliding slots 302. The upper end face of the limiting baffle 303 is flush with the upper end face of the load-bearing plate 6. When the plate 405 drives the load-bearing plate 6 to slide through the groove 602, it can be limited and abutted against the limiting baffle 303. The upper end face of the load-bearing plate 6 has a groove 602 in half of the area inside the battery compartment 2. The plate 405 first abuts against the innermost end face of the groove. When the slide plate 4 is pulled, the plate 405 moves in the groove 602. When the slide plate 4 is pulled out halfway, the plate 405 abuts against the end face of the groove near the opening of the battery compartment 2. Thus, when the slide plate 4 is fully pulled out, the load-bearing plate 6 can be pulled out halfway through the plate 405. Half of the load-bearing plate 6 is engaged in the second sliding groove 302, and the other half is supported on the lower end face of the slide plate 4, thereby supporting the slide plate 4. Furthermore, the limiting baffle 303 set at the sliding seat 3 near the opening of the battery compartment 2 can limit the slide plate 4 after it is fully pulled out by the plate 405 abutting against the limiting baffle 303, thereby preventing the slide plate 4 from falling off completely.

[0032] like Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, a battery holder 5 is rotatably mounted on the slide plate 4, allowing it to rotate while the slide plate 4 is extended. A rotating groove 403 is provided on the upper surface of the slide plate 4, and a rotating mounting post 501, adapted to the rotating groove 403, is provided on the lower surface of the battery holder 5. The rotating mounting post 501 is rotatably mounted within the rotating groove 403. Several abutting sliding posts 502 are arranged in a matrix on the lower surface of the battery holder 5, not covering the area of ​​the rotating mounting post 501. Steel balls 503 are rotatably embedded in the lower surface of each abutting sliding post 502. The area of ​​the slide plate 4 is larger than the bottom area of ​​the stored battery, ensuring that the battery holder 5 can rotate without interference on the slide plate 4 when it is extended. The area of ​​the battery holder 5 is similar to the bottom area of ​​the stored battery, facilitating battery storage and retrieval. Furthermore, after storage, the orientation of the battery can be adjusted by rotating the battery holder 5, so that users do not need to pay attention to the orientation of the battery when storing or retrieving it, and can adjust it at will by rotating the battery holder 5.
