[0018] 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.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a protective device for an electric vehicle battery swapping cabinet, including a battery swapping cabinet body 1. The battery swapping cabinet body 1 has an internal placement slot 2 for placing batteries, and a mechanical locking mechanism and positioning guide rail are matched with the placement slot 2 to lock the battery after it is placed in, preventing the battery from being removed without verification. Since this is a conventional technical means in the field, it will not be described in detail here. The right side surface of the battery swapping cabinet body 1 is provided with a touch panel 4 for human-computer interaction. The touch panel 4 facilitates interaction between the user and the battery swapping cabinet body 1, thereby realizing functions such as battery retrieval, storage, and power level monitoring. A mounting frame 5 for connection is fixedly connected to the right side surface of the battery swapping cabinet body 1, and the mounting frame 5 is located outside the touch panel 4.

[0020] A cover plate 6 is provided between the two vertical plates of the mounting frame 5 to shield and protect the touch panel 4. A locking plate 7 for connection is fixedly connected to the surface of the cover plate 6. A first cavity 8 is opened inside the locking plate 7. A fixing component is provided inside the first cavity 8. A drive shaft 9 for transmission is rotatably connected inside the first cavity 8. A transmission component is provided outside the drive shaft 9. The right end of the drive shaft 9 rotatably passes through the interior of the locking plate 7. A handle 10 for easy gripping by the user is fixedly connected to the right end of the drive shaft 9. Locking components are provided on both sides of the mounting frame 5.

[0021] In the above embodiments, the cabinet body 1 is also equipped with a cabinet door, a door lock, and a smoke alarm, etc. Since these are conventional technical means in the field, they will not be described in detail here.

[0022] The fixing assembly includes two insert rods 11 for locking the cover plate 6. Both insert rods 11 are located inside the first cavity 8. The opposite ends of the two insert rods 11 slide through the interior of the locking plate 7. The opposing surfaces of the vertical plates on both sides of the mounting frame 5 are provided with slots 12 for cooperating with the insert rods 11. The slots 12 and the insert rods 11 are adapted to each other. By inserting the insert rods 11 into the interior of the slots 12, the cover plate 6 and the locking plate 7 can be fixed.

[0023] One end of the insertion rod 11 located inside the first cavity 8 is fixedly fitted with a circular plate 13 for connection. A first spring 14 for resetting the insertion rod 11 is fixedly connected between the circular plate 13 and the inner wall of the first cavity 8. The first spring 14 is movably fitted outside the insertion rod 11. The setting of the first spring 14 further ensures the stability of the insertion rod 11 inside the slot 12 and effectively prevents the insertion rod 11 from dislodging from the slot 12.

[0024] The transmission assembly includes a take-up reel 15 for transmission. The take-up reel 15 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the drive shaft 9. The surface of the take-up reel 15 is provided with a guide groove 16 for guidance. Two pull ropes 17, also for transmission, are fixedly connected inside the guide groove 16. The ends of the two pull ropes 17 away from the take-up reel 15 are respectively fixedly connected to two insert rods 11. By driving the rotation of the take-up reel 15 driven by the drive shaft 9, the pull ropes 17 can be wound inside the guide groove 16. At this time, the winding of the pull ropes 17 can drive the insert rods 11 to move until the insert rods 11 are disengaged from the inside of the slot 12, thereby unlocking the locking plate 7. Subsequently, the operator can rotate the cover plate 6 and the locking plate 7 inside the mounting frame 5 to expose the touch panel 4.

[0025] The cover plate 6 has a second cavity 18 inside. The left end of the drive shaft 9 rotates through the interior of the second cavity 18 and rotates to connect with the inner wall of the second cavity 18. The end of the drive shaft 9 located inside the second cavity 18 is also provided with a transmission component.

[0026] The second cavity 18 is equipped with two locking rods 19 that connect the cover plate 6 and the mounting frame 5. The ends of the two locking rods 19 that are far apart from each other slide through the interior of the cover plate 6 through the cooperation of the slider and the groove. The ends of the two locking rods 19 that are far apart from each other move through the interior of the mounting frame 5. Two pull ropes 17 in the transmission assembly located inside the second cavity 18 are fixedly connected to the two locking rods 19 respectively. By rotating the drive shaft 9 and cooperating with the transmission assembly located inside the second cavity 18, the two locking rods 19 can be pulled towards the middle synchronously.

[0027] The locking assembly includes two fixing covers 21 for locking the angle of the cover plate 6. The two fixing covers 21 are fixedly connected to the two side surfaces of the mounting frame 5 respectively. The inner wall of the fixing cover 21 is provided with a groove 22. The two locking rods 19 are fixedly connected to a mating plate 20 at their opposite ends. The mating plate 20 is located inside the fixing cover 21. The surface of the mating plate 20 is fixedly connected with a protrusion 23 for cooperating with the groove 22. The groove 22 and the protrusion 23 are adapted to each other. When the protrusion 23 and the groove 22 are engaged, the angle of the locking rod 19 can be locked by the cooperation of the protrusion 23 and the groove 22, thereby supporting the cover plate 6 and the locking plate 7. This allows the user to flexibly fix the angle of the cover plate 6 and the locking plate 7 according to the actual use situation, so as to facilitate the use of the cover plate 6 to shade the touch panel 4 and improve the convenience of operation.

[0028] A second spring 24 for resetting the docking plate 20 and the locking rod 19 is fixedly connected to the surface of the docking plate 20. The second spring 24 is movably sleeved on the outside of the locking rod 19, and the other end of the second spring 24 contacts the mounting frame 5. The setting of the second spring 24 further ensures the stability of the engagement between the protrusion 23 and the groove 22.

[0029] Both sides of the battery swapping cabinet body 1 are fixedly connected with heat dissipation shrouds 3. The openings of the heat dissipation shrouds 3 face downwards. The heat dissipation shrouds 3 are connected to the heat dissipation windows on the side of the battery swapping cabinet body 1. The lower end of the heat dissipation shrouds 3 is provided with a filter screen 25 for filtering out lint and other debris in the air. By setting up the heat dissipation shrouds 3, the situation of rainwater entering the battery swapping cabinet body 1 through the heat dissipation windows during wind and rain is effectively prevented, further improving the protection effect of the battery swapping cabinet body 1.

[0030] Working principle: When using the protective device for the electric vehicle battery swapping equipment cabinet, if it is necessary to operate the touch panel 4, the operator first holds the handle 10 and rotates the handle 10. The rotation of the handle 10 will drive the rotation of the drive shaft 9, which in turn drives the rotation of the winding wheel 15 to wind the pull rope 17 inside the guide groove 16. At this time, the winding of the pull rope 17 will drive the insertion rod 11 to move until the insertion rod 11 is disengaged from the slot 12, thereby unlocking the locking plate 7. Subsequently, the operator can rotate the cover plate 6 and the locking plate 7 inside the mounting frame 5 to expose the touch panel 4.

[0031] In addition, when the drive shaft 9 rotates, the two locking rods 19 can be pulled towards the middle synchronously by the transmission component inside the second cavity 18. The moving interface of the locking rod 19 drives the moving of the docking plate 20, thereby realizing the separation of the protrusion 23 and the groove 22. The second spring 24 will contact the mounting frame 5 and be squeezed to produce deformation.

[0032] When it is necessary to lock the angle of the cover plate 6, while holding the handle 10, slowly reset the handle 10. Then, under the action of the second spring 24, the locking rod 19 will be reset until the protrusion 23 engages with the groove 22 again. At this time, the angle of the cover plate 6 can be locked.

[0033] When it is necessary to use the cover plate 6 to shield the touch panel 4 from sunlight and avoid glare, simply turn the handle 10 again to adjust the angle of the cover plate 6. After adjustment, the protrusion 23 and the groove 22 can be aligned. The operation is simple.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
