The primary lock base 310 is provided with a primary opening 311 and a primary cavity 312 extending from the primary opening 311, wherein the primary opening 311 is used for allowing a primary lock shaft (the structure of which is the same as or similar to the lock shaft 200) installed on the battery pack to enter the primary cavity 312. The lock link 330 is rotatably connected to at least one first-stage latch tongue 320, and is configured to drive the first-stage latch tongue 320 to rotate under an external force, so that the first-stage latch tongue 320 can rotate relative to the first-stage lock base 310 to change between a first-stage unlocked state and a first-stage locked state. When the first-stage locking tongue 320 is in the first-stage locking state, the first-stage locking tongue 320 can prevent the first-stage lock shaft from leaving the first-stage cavity 312 from the first-stage opening 311. The "primary lock state" refers to a state in which the primary lock mechanism 300 is locked; the "primary unlocked state" refers to the unlocked state of the primary locking mechanism 300.
The primary locking mechanism 300 and the locking mechanism 100 are arranged on the same side of the quick-change bracket 500. The side on which the primary locking mechanism 300 is provided is also provided with the locking mechanism 100; if both sides are provided with primary locking mechanisms 300, then both sides are also provided with locking mechanisms 100. In this embodiment, the first-stage locking mechanism 300 and the locking mechanism 100 are disposed on two inner sides of the quick-change holder 500, i.e., two inner sides facing the battery pack.
