[0038] Example 1

[0039] Please see Figures 1-5 The technical solution provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0040] A modular tool compartment structure with hot-swappable sliding rails is provided, which consists of a tool compartment body 1, hot-swappable plugs 11, a sliding rail mechanism, a limiting mechanism and an air-cooling mechanism. Multiple hot-swappable plugs 11 are provided, and multiple hot-swappable plugs 11 are fixedly connected to the tool compartment body 1.

[0041] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the hot-swappable plug 11 is used to plug into the battery, and heat dissipation holes 2 are provided on both sides of the tool compartment body 1.

[0042] Specifically, the slide rail components are installed on the tool compartment body 1. Each set of slide rail components includes a limiting groove 5, a limiting block 6, a U-shaped support plate 7, a T-shaped slider 8, and a T-shaped slide groove 15. There are two T-shaped slide grooves 15, both of which are opened on the tool compartment body 1.

The limiting groove 5 is opened on the tool compartment body 1. The limiting block 6 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped support plate 7 and is slidably connected to the limiting groove 5.

[0043] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the limiting groove 5 and the limiting block 6 are provided to prevent the T-shaped slider 8 from sliding out of the T-shaped groove 15. The T-shaped groove 15 is provided to slide the T-shaped slider 8. By sliding the T-shaped slider 8 into the T-shaped groove 15, the U-shaped support plate 7 can slide through the T-shaped slider 8. The movement of the U-shaped support plate 7 allows the battery to move, making it easy to install and remove the battery. The U-shaped support plate 7 is used to place the battery, so that the battery will not collide when pushed into the tool compartment body 1.

[0044] Specifically, the pressure roller assembly is located on the tool compartment body 1. Each pressure roller assembly includes a limiting roller 10 and a vertical plate 14. There are two vertical plates 14, which are fixedly connected to the upper inner wall of the tool compartment body 1 and are symmetrically arranged.

[0045] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the two upright plates 14 are used to connect the limiting rollers 10. The limiting rollers 10 are used to press down the battery, so that the battery can only move in the horizontal direction.

[0046] Specifically, the limiting component is provided on the tool compartment body 1. The limiting component includes a rotating shaft 4 and a baffle 9.

[0051] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the cooling fan 3 can generate cold air, and the air supply pipe 12 delivers the cold air into the jet pipe 13. The cold air is then sprayed out through the jet pipe 13, thereby cooling the interior of the tool compartment body 1.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] Building upon Example 1, this example further enhances the intelligence level and safety management capabilities of the tool bay. It should be noted that features such as the RFID / IC chip, optical positioning marker, intelligent power distribution board, and CAN bus involved in this example are not shown in the accompanying drawings, but their structure and connection relationships are described in detail in this specification.

[0054] The tool compartment body 1 also houses an intelligent control unit (not shown in the figure). This intelligent control unit includes an intelligent power distribution board, a main control module, and an RFID reader / writer integrated on the inner wall of the tool compartment body 1 (none of which are shown in the figure). Each battery module has a unique RFID chip or optical positioning mark (not shown in the figure) attached to its housing surface to store the module's identification, specifications, and historical data.

[0055] The intelligent power distribution board (not shown in the figure) is electrically connected to all hot-swappable plugs 11, enabling independent power management and monitoring of the battery modules in each plug-in position, and real-time acquisition of current, voltage and temperature data of each module.

[0056] The main control module (not shown in the figure) is electrically connected to the intelligent power distribution board, RFID reader / writer, and forward / reverse motor 18. The main control module communicates with the upper controller via a CAN bus interface (not shown in the figure), and can upload the battery module's identity information, real-time electrical parameters (such as whether there is overcurrent, overvoltage, or overtemperature) and tool compartment status (such as the position of baffle 9 and the travel of the slide rail mechanism) to the upper controller. At the same time, it receives and executes the instructions issued by the upper controller, such as allowing plugging and unplugging, emergency power-off, or starting the air-cooling mechanism.

[0057] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, when the operator pushes the battery module into the tool compartment along the slide rail mechanism, the U-shaped support plate 7 moves and finally enters its position. Subsequently, the RFID reader automatically reads the RFID chip information on the battery module, or aligns the built-in camera (not shown in the figure) with the optical mark for identification, and uploads the identified compartment serial number and functional parameters to the main control module. The main control module sends this information to the upper controller via the CAN bus, completing the automatic identification and registration of the module, eliminating the need for manual configuration.

[0058] During the operation of the battery module, the intelligent power distribution board continuously monitors the electrical status of each module. Once an abnormality such as overcurrent, overvoltage, or overtemperature is detected in a module, the main control module will immediately send an alarm signal to the upper controller and can perform protective operations according to preset strategies, such as controlling the baffle 9 to rotate through the drive component to lock the module, or instructing the air-cooling mechanism to increase the cooling intensity of the area.

[0059] The host controller can send control commands to the main control module via the CAN bus. For example, after the main control module recognizes a new module and confirms that its parameters are valid, the host controller can send a command to make the forward and reverse motor 18 work, driving the baffle 9 to rotate, thus removing the movement restriction on the battery module and allowing it to be hot-swapped. The status data of the entire process is transmitted back in real time via the CAN bus, realizing centralized monitoring and intelligent management of the entire tool compartment's status.

[0060] By introducing the above-mentioned intelligent design, this embodiment realizes automatic identification, accurate monitoring and remote management of modular batteries, which greatly improves the system's reliability, safety and operation and maintenance efficiency.

[0061] The working principle or process of the hot-swappable modular tool compartment structure provided by this utility model is as follows: the output end of the forward and reverse motor 18 rotates, driving gear B17 to rotate. Gear B17 rotates, driving gear A16 to rotate. Gear A16 rotates, driving shaft 4 to rotate. Shaft 4 rotates, driving baffle 9 to rotate. After baffle 9 rotates, the battery can be moved. Pulling the battery to move, the battery moves, driving U-shaped support plate 7 to move. The movement of U-shaped support plate 7 drives T-shaped slider 8 to slide in T-shaped groove 15. The movement of U-shaped support plate 7 drives limiting block 6 to slide in limiting groove 5. Since limiting block 6 is slidably connected in limiting groove 5, it can prevent T-shaped slider 8 from sliding out of T-shaped groove 15.

[0062] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are 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.
