Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of new energy vehicle technology, specifically relating to an in-cabin battery transport and transfer mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] New energy vehicles refer to automobiles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as their power source (or use conventional vehicle fuels but employ new onboard power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and drive, resulting in vehicles with advanced technical principles and new technologies and structures. New energy vehicles include: hybrid electric vehicles, pure electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, hydrogen engine vehicles, as well as natural gas vehicles, alcohol-ether vehicles, etc.

[0003] Currently, in the process of battery swapping for new energy vehicles, swapping stations often rely solely on stacker cranes to exchange between depleted and fully charged batteries, which is also very costly. It is impossible to transport batteries between different levels within a limited space, allowing them to be stored, charged, and swapped at any location. Utility Model Content

The two sets of transport sections are referred to as the first transport mechanism and the second transport mechanism, and the two sets of transport sections are referred to as the first transport mechanism and the second transport mechanism. The two sets of transport sections are arranged in parallel, and the two sets of transport sections are respectively located at both ends of the transport sections, so that the transport sections and the transport sections form a ring transport. The first transport mechanism includes a transport frame and several battery pack assemblies, as well as an adapter assembly. Every two battery pack assemblies are connected to each other by a locking assembly. Every three battery pack assemblies are connected by a first drive assembly, which can drive the battery pack assemblies to move horizontally on the transport frame. The first transport mechanism includes a transport frame and a lifting frame that slides on the transport frame, and also includes a second drive assembly for driving the lifting frame to slide up / down on the transport frame.

[0005] Furthermore, the locking assembly consists of interlocking U-shaped hooks. When moving in parallel, the U-shaped hooks cannot disengage, and when moving up and down, the U-shaped hooks automatically disengage.

[0006] Furthermore, the battery pack assembly includes a battery rack for mounting the battery and several sets of guide pulleys arranged on both sides of the battery rack. The transport frame is provided with a slide groove for accommodating the guide pulleys, and the battery pack assembly slides in the slide groove via the guide pulleys.

[0007] Furthermore, the adapter assembly includes an adapter plate and an adapter mounted on the adapter plate. The battery rack is also provided with a third drive assembly, which is used to drive the adapter plate to move up / down.

[0008] Furthermore, the first drive assembly includes a first motor and a gear connected to the output end of the first motor. The battery rack is provided with a chain wheel composed of several bearings, and the gear engages in the chain wheel to drive the battery rack to move.

[0009] Furthermore, the lifting frame includes a lifting frame body and an inlet groove disposed below the lifting frame body. The inlet groove is used to inlet the battery rack. The lifting frame body is also provided with a limiting mechanism, which is used to restrict the movement of the battery rack.

[0010] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes a mounting bracket fixedly connected to the lifting frame body and a second motor fixed on the mounting bracket. The output end of the second motor is connected to a pin shaft. The battery rack is provided with a pin hole that matches the pin shaft. The second motor drives the pin shaft into the pin hole to fix the battery rack.
