[0029] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0031] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the specific structure of a flower basket 1 provided by this utility model and the corresponding technical effects it brings.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-3 The present invention provides a flower basket 1 including two end plates 100, a support assembly and an adjustment assembly. The two end plates 100 are spaced apart along a first direction. The support assembly includes a plurality of support parts 200 spaced apart along a second direction. An installation cavity 201 is defined between any two adjacent support parts 200. A plurality of flower basket teeth 210 are provided on the side of the support part 200 near the installation cavity 201. The plurality of flower basket teeth 210 on each support part 200 are spaced apart along the first direction.

[0033] It should be noted that the multiple basket teeth 210 on the two support parts 200 in each mounting cavity 201 are arranged one-to-one, so that the battery cell can be placed on the basket teeth 210 on the two support parts 200. The basket teeth 210 on the two support parts 200 can support the two sides of the battery cell respectively.

[0034] The adjustment assembly includes an adjustment rod 310 and a locking member 340 disposed in the mounting cavity 201. The two ends of the adjustment rod 310 are respectively connected to two end plates 100. The adjustment rod 310 can move relative to the end plates 100 in a second direction. The locking member 340 is installed on the end plates 100 and is used to lock or unlock the adjustment rod 310 to the end plates 100. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0035] Understandably, when the locking member 340 locks the adjusting rod 310 to the end plate 100, the locking member 340 can restrict the adjusting rod 310 from moving in the second direction. When the locking member 340 releases the adjusting rod 310 from the end plate 100, the adjusting rod 310 can move relative to the end plate 100 in the second direction.

[0036] When placing the solar cells, the sidewalls on both sides of the solar cells in the second direction can abut against the adjusting rod 310. Since the adjusting rod 310 can move in the second direction relative to the end plate 100 and the adjusting rod 310 is located between the two support parts 200, the operator can move the adjusting rod 310 as needed to adapt to solar cells of different sizes.

[0037] In detail, in this embodiment, each mounting cavity 201 is provided with two sets of adjustment components, and the two sets of adjustment components are respectively provided with one-to-one correspondence between the two support parts 200 of the mounting cavity 201.

[0038] In other words, within a mounting cavity 201, two adjustment components are spaced apart along the second direction, and the two adjustment components can respectively adjust the gap between the adjustment rod 310 and the corresponding support 200 in the second direction, thereby adapting to battery cells of different sizes.

[0039] Understandably, for one set of adjustment components and a corresponding support portion 200, in the second direction, the basket teeth 210 have opposing first and second ends, the first end being connected to the support portion 200, and the adjustment rod 310 is used to move between the first and second ends of the basket teeth 210 on the support portion 200. Understandably, since the mounting cavity 201 has two sets of adjustment components, different sizes of battery cells can be adapted by adjusting the gap between the adjustment rods 310 in the two sets of adjustment components in the second direction.

[0040] In this embodiment, multiple support portions 200 form two mounting cavities 201. That is, this embodiment has four adjustment components. The four adjustment components are spaced apart along the second direction.

[0041] Of course, in other embodiments, the multiple support portions 200 may also form one, three, or four mounting cavities 201. It should be noted that "multiple" in this embodiment can be understood as two or more.

[0042] In detail, the assembly also includes a connector 320, which is connected to the adjusting rod 310. The connector 320 can drive the adjusting rod 310 to move in a second direction. A locking member 340 is used to lock or unlock the connector 320 to the end plate 100. In some embodiments, the connector 320 is mounted on the end plate 100. After the locking member 340 unlocks the connector 320 from the end plate 100, the operator can move the connector 320 on the end plate 100 to move the adjusting rod 310.

[0043] Optionally, the adjustment assembly includes at least two adjustment rods 310 spaced apart along a third direction. These at least two adjustment rods 310 are connected to the connector 320 at intervals along the third direction, with the third direction, the second direction, and the first direction being perpendicular to each other. It is understood that the arrangement of at least two adjustment rods 310 ensures the stability of the battery cells when placed on the basket teeth 210 in the third direction.

[0044] In detail, in this embodiment, the adjustment assembly includes two adjustment rods 310, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the connector 320 in the third direction. The end plate 100 is also provided with a sliding groove 101, which extends along the second direction. The two ends of the adjustment rod 310 are slidably connected to the sliding groove 101 on the two end plates 100, and the adjustment rod 310 can move in the sliding groove 101 along the second direction.

[0045] Understandably, the sliding groove 101 on the short plate can effectively ensure the stability of the adjustment rod 310 moving in the second direction.

[0046] The locking member 340 includes a slider 341 and a pressing spring 342. At least one end plate 100 has a groove 110. The slider 341 is installed in the groove 110 by the pressing spring 342. In the second direction, the slider 341 has a first position and a second position on both sides for placing the connector 320. In the initial state, the slider 341 and the connector 320 are in the first position or the second position. The slider 341 locks the connector 320 to the end plate 100. When the slider 341 moves towards the pressing spring 342 under the action of an external force to compress the pressing spring 342, the connector 320 can change between the first position and the second position.

[0047] Therefore, it is understandable that the operator can press down the slider 341 to prevent the slider 341 from restricting the connecting member 320 from moving the adjusting rod 310 in the second direction. After the connecting member 320 moves to the first position or the second position, the operator can release the slider 341. The slider 341 can be reset under the action of the pressing spring 342. After the slider 341 is reset, the position of the connecting member 320 in the second direction can be restricted, thereby locking the connecting member 320 with the end plate 100.

[0048] Understandably, in this embodiment, the mounting cavity 201 can accommodate two sizes of battery cells through the arrangement of the slider 341 and the pressing spring 342.

[0049] To facilitate the locking or unlocking of the connector 320 and the end plate 100 by the operator, in this embodiment, the locking member 340 also includes a button 343, which protrudes from the end plate 100 and is fixedly connected to the slider 341. That is, the user can press the button 343 to press the slider 341, thereby preventing the slider 341 from restricting the connector 320 from moving the adjusting rod 310 in the second direction.

[0050] Optionally, the adjustment assembly also includes a reset elastic element 330. One end of the reset elastic element 330 is fixedly connected to the end plate 100, and the other end of the reset elastic element 330 is fixedly connected to the connector 320. When the connector 320 is in the first position, the reset elastic element 330 is located on the side of the connector 320 away from the slider 341. When the connector 320 is in the second position, the reset elastic element exerts a force on the connector 320 to move toward the first position.

[0051] In other words, when the user needs to adjust the adjusting rod 310 and move the connecting piece 320 from the second position to the first position, they can simply press the button 343 to reset the elastic element, which will move the connecting piece 320 from the second position to the first position, thus resetting the connecting piece 320 and allowing the adjusting rod 310 to move. This improves the ease of moving the adjusting rod 310.

[0052] Of course, in other embodiments, the locking member 340 can also be other structures. For example, the end plate 100 is provided with a plurality of connecting holes arranged sequentially along the second direction, the connector 320 is provided with a mating hole, and the locking member 340 can be a fastener. The fastener can pass through the mating hole and connect with the connecting hole on the end plate 100 corresponding to the mating hole, thereby completing the locking of the connector 320 and the end plate 100.

[0053] In summary, the flower basket 1 provided by this utility model embodiment includes two end plates 100, a support assembly, and an adjustment assembly. The two end plates 100 are spaced apart along a first direction. The support assembly includes a plurality of support portions 200 spaced apart along a second direction. An installation cavity 201 is defined between any two adjacent support portions 200. A plurality of flower basket teeth 210 are provided on the side of the support portion 200 near the installation cavity 201. The plurality of flower basket teeth 210 on each support portion 200 are spaced apart along the first direction. The operator can move the adjustment rod 310 as needed to adapt to battery cells of different sizes.

[0054] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
