Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery swapping equipment technology, specifically a pallet structure for a manual battery swapping station forklifts. Background Technology

[0002] A battery swapping station refers to a station that centrally stores, charges, and distributes a large number of batteries through a centralized charging station, and provides battery swapping services for electric vehicles within the battery distribution station, or a station that integrates battery charging, logistics allocation, and battery swapping services. A manual battery swapping station, on the other hand, requires manual removal of the car battery using mechanical equipment for manual battery swapping.

[0003] Currently, manual battery swapping stations typically use forklifts to move and transfer batteries inside the swapping rack. Existing forklift pallet structures are usually simple lifting arms, relying solely on the weight of the batteries to be placed on the lifting arms. During the process of the forklift moving the swapping batteries, the batteries are easily dropped due to vibration, and the bottom of the swapping batteries will rub against the lifting arms due to movement, causing wear and tear on the battery casing and affecting the service life of the battery casing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a pallet structure for a manual battery swapping station forklift, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a pallet structure for a manual battery swapping station forklift, comprising a lifting plate, two lifting arms mounted on one end of the lifting plate, a plurality of mounting holes arranged in a linear array on the upper end of the lifting arms, a rotating shaft rotatably mounted inside the mounting holes, a drive roller mounted on the surface of each rotating shaft, a conveyor belt mounted on the surface of the drive roller on the same lifting arm, a lifting plate being vertically mounted between the two conveyor belts, and a negative pressure suction cup mounted on the upper end of the lifting plate.

[0006] Preferably, a connecting shaft is installed between the outer rotating shafts, and a pulley is installed at the front end of the connecting shaft in front of the rotating shaft. The two pulleys are connected by a belt. A pulley is installed at the front end of the pulley near the lifting plate. A drive motor is installed below the pulley. A pulley is installed at the output end of the drive motor. The pulleys are connected by a belt.

[0007] Preferably, a fixed pipe is installed between the lifting plates between the two conveyor belts, and a lifting frame is slidably installed inside the fixed pipe. The lifting plate is installed on the upper end of the lifting frame. Guide grooves are provided at both the front and rear ends of the fixed pipe, and guide plates are installed at both the front and rear ends of the lifting frame. The guide plates are located inside the guide grooves.

[0008] Preferably, a top block is movably installed inside the fixed tube below the lifting frame, a first inclined surface is provided at the bottom end of the lifting frame, a second inclined surface is provided at the top end of the top block, and the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface are in contact.

[0009] Preferably, the top block is equipped with fixing plates at both the front and rear ends, and a guide rod is installed at one end of the lifting plate on one side of each of the two fixing plates. The guide rod passes through the fixing plate through a through hole, and a spring is installed on the surface of the guide rod.

[0010] Preferably, a lever is installed at both the front and rear ends of the top block on one side of the fixed plate.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. The pallet structure of this manual battery swapping station for forklifts uses liftable negative pressure suction cups installed between the lifting arms. These suction cups can adhere to the batteries on the lifting arms, effectively preventing the batteries from accidentally falling off when the forklift moves them.

[0013] 2. The pallet structure of this manual battery swapping station forklift uses a drive roller and conveyor belt installed on the lifting arm. The drive motor drives the drive roller and conveyor belt to rotate, and the conveyor belt can move the battery swapping battery on the lifting arm. This effectively avoids wear and tear on the battery swapping battery shell due to friction when it moves on the lifting arm, and effectively extends the service life of the battery swapping battery shell.

[0014] 3. The pallet structure of this manual battery swapping station for forklifts features a top block and a lifting frame. When the conveyor belt moves the battery, the battery contacts the lever, which in turn moves the top block toward the lifting frame, thus automatically raising the negative pressure suction cup. This effectively prevents interference with the negative pressure suction cup when the battery moves. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model 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 utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the pallet structure of the manual battery swapping station forklift in this embodiment includes a lifting plate 1. Two lifting arms 2 are installed at one end of the lifting plate 1. The lifting plate 1 drives the lifting arms 2 to rise and fall. Several mounting holes 3 are arranged in a linear array on the upper end of the lifting arms 2. Rotating shafts 4 are rotatably installed inside the mounting holes 3. Drive rollers 5 are installed on the surface of each rotating shaft 4. A conveyor belt 6 is installed on the surface of the drive rollers 5 on the same lifting arm 2. The drive rollers 5 support the conveyor belt 6. When the conveyor belt 6 contacts the battery, the drive rollers 5 are controlled to rotate, which drives the conveyor belt 6 to rotate, realizing the movement of the battery on the lifting arm 2. This effectively avoids wear caused by friction between the battery shell and the lifting arm 2. A lifting plate 7 is installed between the two conveyor belts 6. A negative pressure suction cup 8 is installed on the upper end of the lifting plate 7. The lifting plate 7 can drive the negative pressure suction cup 8 to rise and fall. The negative pressure suction cup 8 is driven by an external pneumatic device. The negative pressure suction cup 8 can adsorb the battery shell, effectively preventing the battery from accidentally falling off when the forklift moves.

[0022] Specifically, connecting shafts 9 are installed between the outer rotating shafts 4. A pulley 10 is installed at the front end of each connecting shaft 9 in front of the rotating shaft 4. The two pulleys 10 are connected by a belt. A pulley 2 11 is installed at the front end of the pulley 10 closest to the lifting plate 1. A drive motor 12 is installed below the pulley 2 11. A pulley 3 13 is installed at the output end of the drive motor 12. The pulleys 2 11 and 3 13 are connected by a belt. By controlling the drive motor 12 to rotate, the drive motor 12 drives the pulleys 10, 2 11, and 3 13 to rotate, thus realizing the rotation function of the conveyor belt 6. This effectively avoids wear on the battery casing and lifting arm 2 due to friction, effectively extending the service life of the battery casing. The drive motor 12 is controlled by a controller and can move the battery by a specified distance. The drive motor 12 is connected to a forward and reverse circuit, allowing it to rotate in both directions.

[0023] Furthermore, a fixed pipe 14 is installed between the lifting plates 1 between the two conveyor belts 6. A lifting frame 15 is slidably installed inside the fixed pipe 14. A lifting plate 7 is installed on the upper end of the lifting frame 15. Guide grooves 16 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the fixed pipe 14. Guide plates 17 are installed at both the front and rear ends of the lifting frame 15. The guide plates 17 are located inside the guide grooves 16. The lifting frame 15 can be raised and lowered to avoid interference with the negative pressure fixed suction cup 8 when the conveyor belt 6 moves the battery swapping device.

[0024] Furthermore, a top block 18 is movably installed inside the fixed tube 14 below the lifting frame 15. An inclined surface 19 is provided at the bottom end of the lifting frame 15, and an inclined surface 20 is provided at the top end of the top block 18. The inclined surface 19 and the inclined surface 20 are in contact. By controlling the top block 18 to move towards the lifting frame 15, the inclined surface 19 and the inclined surface 20 are in contact during this process. As the top block 18 continues to move, it can drive the lifting frame 15 to rise, so that the negative pressure fixing suction cup 8 can contact the bottom of the battery swapping casing. When the top block 18 moves in the opposite direction, the lifting frame 15 descends.

[0025] Furthermore, the top block 18 is equipped with fixing plates 21 at both the front and rear ends. Each of the lifting plates 1 on one side of the two fixing plates 21 is equipped with a guide rod 22. The guide rod 22 passes through the fixing plate 21 through the through hole. A spring spring 23 is installed on the surface of the guide rod 22. When the top block 18 moves toward the lifting frame 15, the top block 18 compresses the spring spring 23 through the fixing plate 21, providing power for the top block 18 to return to its original position.

[0026] Furthermore, both the front and rear ends of the top block 18 on one side of the fixed plate 21 are equipped with a lever 24. When the conveyor belt 6 moves the battery, the battery contacts the lever 24, thereby moving the top block 18 toward the lifting frame 15.

[0027] The usage method of this embodiment is as follows: During use, the lifting plate 1 drives the lifting arm 2 to move below the battery. As the lifting arm 2 rises, the conveyor belt 6 contacts the bottom of the battery. Then, the drive motor 12 drives the conveyor belt 6 to rotate, and the conveyor belt 6 drives the battery to move towards the lifting plate 1 on the lifting arm 2. When the battery contacts the actuating lever 24, the actuating lever 24 drives the top block 18 to push against the lifting frame 15, so that the inclined surface 19 and the inclined surface 20 contact. The lifting frame 15 drives the negative pressure fixing suction cup 8 on the lifting plate 7 to... The forklift lifts the suction cup 8 so that it contacts the bottom of the battery. At this time, the battery moves to the appropriate position. The suction cup 8 uses external pneumatic equipment to generate negative pressure to adhere and fix the battery. Then the forklift can move the battery. When it is necessary to remove the battery, the suction cup 8 is deactivated. Then the conveyor belt 6 moves the battery in the opposite direction. During this process, the spring spring 23 causes the top block 18 to return to its original position, so that the suction cup 8 does not contact the battery. Then the battery can be removed from the conveyor belt 6.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is 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.
