The present application provides a socket assembly 100 for a power battery, comprising: at least one rail 110 arranged to extend in a vertical direction; a body 120 configured to move along the rail 110; an elastic member 130 having one end attached to the body 120 and the other end fixed with respect to the rail 110; an activation plate 140 disposed below the body 120; and a lever mechanism connected between the activation plate 140 and the body 120.
Wherein the lever mechanism is configured such that: the activation plate 140 and the body 120 can be moved synchronously in the same direction, and the moving speed of the body 120 is greater than that of the activation plate 140.
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the receptacle assembly of the present application, and fig. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view of the embodiment shown in fig. 1. Wherein a portion of the body 120 is removed for clarity to show some components not visible in fig. 1.
Specifically, the lever mechanism includes: a first collar 151 pivotally attached to the body 120; a first rod 161 having a first end movably passing through the first collar 151 and a second end pivotally fixed with respect to the rail 110; and a second collar 152 movably sleeved on the first rod 161 between the first collar 151 and a second end of the first rod 161, and the activation plate 140 is pivotably connected to the second collar 152. The pivot axes of the various pivotal connections described above may have the same orientation, for example, in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the paper of fig. 2. Accordingly, the body 120 moves in the direction of the paper of fig. 2.
As shown in fig. 1, the activation plate 140 carries a second lever 162, a first end of the second lever 162 is attached to the activation plate 140, and a second end of the second lever 162 is pivotably connected with the second collar 152. There is further provided a guide portion 170 fixed with respect to the rail 110 and having a guide hole 171 in a vertical direction, wherein the second rod 162 movably passes through the guide hole 171.
As shown, the guide portion 170 is disposed below the second collar 152, and the second rod 162 passes through the guide hole 171 and extends through the guide portion 170, and finally is attached to the activation plate 140. Therefore, the activation plate 140 is located below the guide part 170. However, the structure of the illustrated embodiment is merely exemplary, and does not exclude application of other structures.
In the illustrated embodiment, the first lever 161 is arranged on a vertical plane, and the pivot axis of the first collar 151 and the pivot axis of the second end of the first lever 161 are located substantially on a horizontal plane. Further, the second lever 162 is also arranged on a vertical plane, and the pivot axis of the second end of the second lever 162 is located substantially on a horizontal plane.
The "vertical direction" referred to herein means a direction in which gravity acts, the direction perpendicular to the vertical direction is a horizontal direction, and a plane perpendicular to the vertical direction means a horizontal plane. The term "vertical plane" as used herein refers to a plane perpendicular to the horizontal plane, i.e., a plane parallel to the vertical direction.
Further, the socket assembly 100 may further include a base 101, wherein the rail 110, the other end of the elastic member 130, and the guide 170 are attached to the base 101. In another embodiment, no mount may be provided, and the rail 110, the other end of the elastic member 130, and the guide 170 are configured to be fixed with respect to the rail 110.
An electric power connector 120a and/or a cooling fluid connector 120b for the power battery are also attached to the body 120. It will be readily appreciated that the power connection 120a is configured to provide electrical power and the cooling fluid connection 120b is configured to provide cooling fluid. Correspondingly, the power battery is also provided with a corresponding plug to match the power connection 120a and/or the cooling fluid connection 120 b. Other types of plugs may be provided, or any desired connection means may be provided to the power cell, as desired.
Although two parallel rails 110 are shown in the illustrated embodiment, the body 120 is movable in a vertical direction along the two rails 110. It will be readily appreciated that tracks may be added or subtracted and that the body may also be configured to move in a non-vertical direction.
The elastic member 130 is a spring in the illustrated embodiment, and both ends thereof abut on projections protruding from the base 101 and the body 120, respectively. During operation of the illustrated embodiment of the receptacle assembly 100, the resilient member 130 is always in compression and provides a resilient force. The elastic member 130 may be any element providing an elastic force, such as a torsion spring, a spring, etc., according to actual needs.
The lever mechanism in this application functions as: when the activation plate 140 is moved in a certain direction by a first distance, the body 120 is moved in the same direction by a second distance by the operation of the lever mechanism, and the second distance is greater than the first distance. Activation plate 140 typically moves up or down in a vertical direction and body 120 correspondingly moves a greater distance in the same direction. Since the above-described movement is completed within the same time, the moving speed of the body 120 is always greater than that of the activation plate 140.
Therefore, when the power battery is placed on the activation plate 140 and the activation plate 140 is moved downward by the weight of the power battery itself, the body 120 located above the activation plate 140 can be moved a greater distance, thereby bringing the tabs on the body 120 into engagement with the tabs on the power battery. Conversely, when the power battery is lifted by an external force, the body 120 is moved upward by the elastic member 130, and the body 120 is moved upward by a greater distance than the activation plate 140 by the lever mechanism. Thus, the tabs on the body 120 tend to separate from the tabs on the power cell, thereby enabling the power cell to move away from the receptacle assembly 100.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one embodiment of a charging stand of the present application. The charging rack 10 for the power battery comprises: one or more brackets 200 for supporting the power battery 300; one or more of the receptacle assemblies 100 described above, respectively, disposed on each of the brackets 200; an insertion arm 400 configured for moving the power battery 300.
In use, the socket arm 400 carries the power battery 300 and moves the power battery 300 to the socket assembly 100 and between the body 120 and the activation plate 140. Then, the inserting arm 400 releases the power battery 300, and the power battery 300 is supported by the activation plate 140, and the activation plate 140 moves downward due to the weight of the power battery 300 itself. By the lever mechanism according to the above, the body 120 will move a larger distance than the activation plate 140, thereby bringing the plug on the body 120 into and out of engagement with the plug on the power battery 300.
The receptacle assembly 100 and the bracket 200 of the present application are further configured such that: when the plug on the carrier body 120 is fully engaged with the plug on the power battery 300, the power battery 300 is supported by the bracket 200, and the activation plate 140 rests below the power battery 30. Accordingly, the bracket 200 may be provided with a corresponding opening or recess to provide a movement space for the activation plate 140.
The receptacle assembly 100 of the present application is capable of automatically providing engagement and disengagement of a plug without any power being provided on the receptacle assembly. Therefore, the socket assembly and the charging rack of the application can improve the working efficiency of the power battery charging device and reduce the operation cost.
This description discloses the application with reference to the drawings and also enables one skilled in the art to practice the application, including making and using any system or systems, selecting appropriate materials, and using elevators in any combination. The scope of the present application is defined by the claims and encompasses other examples that occur to those skilled in the art. Such other examples are to be considered within the scope of protection defined by the claims of this application, provided that they include structural elements that do not differ from the literal language of the claims, or that they include equivalent structural elements with insubstantial differences from the literal language of the claims.
