Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery charging equipment technology, and specifically to a cycle mechanism for battery charging. Background Technology
[0002] Electric bicycles, also known as electric vehicles, are pure electric motor vehicles powered by batteries and driven by electric motors. They are relatively inexpensive, and with the national advocacy for green and environmentally friendly practices, electric bicycles have become a popular choice in my country due to their zero emissions and low energy consumption. More and more people are choosing electric bicycles as their short-distance travel tool, making life more convenient.
[0003] With the increasing use of electric vehicles, while they have made travel more convenient, existing electric vehicles are very power-consuming, requiring frequent charging. The batteries in current electric vehicles have short ranges, and with frequent charging, the batteries often run out of power halfway through a journey, affecting the user's riding experience and causing inconvenience in battery charging.
[0004] The demand for fast battery swapping is increasing, leading to a growing need for battery swapping and charging stations.

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0019] Example: Figure 1-4 As shown, a circulating mechanism for battery charging includes a frame 1. The frame 1 contains 20 battery charging compartments 4 arranged in a ring. Each battery charging compartment 4 contains a battery 3. A circulating drive assembly 2 is provided between the battery charging compartments 4 and the frame 1. The circulating drive assembly 2 includes a pair of circulating chains 6 connected and fixed to both ends of the battery charging compartments 4. A driven member 5 is provided between the upper end of the circulating chain 6 and the frame 1. The driven member 5 includes a pair of driven sprockets 10 that are engaged with the circulating chain 6. Each driven sprocket 10 is provided with a driven sprocket fixing bracket 9 between it and the frame 1. An active drive component 7 is provided between the upper end of the circulating chain 6 and the frame 1. The active drive component 7 includes a pair of active sprockets 14 that are clamped to the circulating chain 6. Each active sprocket 14 is provided with an active sprocket fixing bracket 13 between it and the frame 1. The upper end of the active sprocket fixing bracket 13 is provided with a sprocket tension fixing plate 12 that is integrally welded and fixed to the frame 1. The sprocket tension fixing plate 12 is provided with a tensioning screw 11 that presses against the active sprocket fixing bracket 13 to adjust the tension of the circulating chain 6. The tensioning screw 11 is threadedly connected to the sprocket tension fixing plate 12. The lower end of the active drive component 7 is provided with a power output source 8, which includes a drive motor 15. A power output chain 16 is provided between the drive motor 15 and the active sprockets 14. A synchronous drive shaft 20 is provided between the power output chain 16 and the drive sprocket 14. Transition sprockets 18 are provided between the synchronous drive shaft 20 and the power output chain 16, and between both ends of the synchronous drive shaft 20 and the drive sprocket 14. A transition drive chain 17 is provided between the transition sprocket 18 and the drive sprocket 14. Bearing seats 19 are provided between both ends of the synchronous drive shaft 20 and the frame 1.
[0020] Working Principle: The drive motor 15 starts, driving the power output chain 16. Power is transmitted to the synchronous drive shaft 20 via the power output chain 16. The synchronous drive shaft 20 rotates, driving the two drive sprockets 14 to rotate synchronously via the transition sprocket 18 and the transition drive chain 17. The drive sprockets 14 engage the circulating chain 6, overcoming the resistance of the driven sprocket 10, and driving the circulating chain 6 to move. Since the circulating chain 6 is fixed to both ends of the battery charging compartment 4, the battery charging compartment 4 moves in a circular motion within the frame 1. The tension screw 11 ensures that the circulating chain 6 maintains appropriate tension during operation. Automated circulation of the battery charging compartment is achieved through mechanical transmission, possessing high practical value and application prospects.
[0021] In summary, this battery charging cycle mechanism features a compact structure, convenient access, and good operational stability. It solves the problem of accessing batteries at a comfortable height, allowing for battery access through a single window and avoiding the need to access batteries at different heights within a fixed charging cabinet.
