Wherein the unlock input member 11 is provided on the lower surface of the bottom plate 21 of the cradle 2 so as to be engaged with the unlock driving part located at the outside. The unlock input 11 is located below the doorway 2a of the bracket 2 for the purpose of abutting against the unlock drive section when the unlock drive section approaches the doorway 2a of the bracket 2.
Specifically, the unlocking driving part can be mounted on a battery tray of the battery replacement device. The battery replacing device is used for disassembling, assembling and replacing a battery pack on the electric automobile, when the battery pack 200 is disassembled and assembled relative to the bracket assembly 10, the battery tray of the battery replacing device inevitably moves horizontally and is close to the access 2a of the bracket 2, therefore, the unlocking driving part is installed on the battery tray, and the aim that the unlocking driving part is butted to the unlocking input part 11 can be synchronously realized by the movement of the battery tray towards the direction close to the bracket 2.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, a profile 211 extending in the moving-in direction (i.e., Y direction) of the battery pack 200 is provided on the lower surface of the bottom plate 21 of the tray 2, and the unlocking input member 11 and the unlocking output member 12 are both provided in the profile 211, so that the purpose of accommodating the main components of the unlocking mechanism 1 is achieved by the profile 211 on the bottom plate 21, and the components such as the unlocking input member 11 are protected from being damaged by external impact, thereby improving the unlocking reliability of the tray assembly 10.

Specifically, the present embodiment provides a scheme that the profile 211 on the bottom plate 21 positions the unlocking input member 11 to move horizontally along the Y direction relative to the bracket 2, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, the unlocking input member 11 is provided with a limiting member 111, the limiting member 111 is specifically two limiting posts to extend and protrude along the X direction relative to the side surface of the unlocking input member 11, the profile 211 is provided with a limiting groove 112 extending along the Y direction, and the two limiting members 111 slide in the limiting groove 112, so that the whole unlocking input member 11 can only move along the Y direction relative to the bracket 2, and the movement of the unlocking driving portion is accurately transmitted to the locking mechanism 3, thereby achieving the purpose of accurately and reliably unlocking or locking the battery pack 200.
Meanwhile, when the unlocking input member 11 needs to be taken out of the profile 211, the limiting member 111 is moved out of the limiting groove 112 only by moving along the Y direction.
Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting member 111 may also extend along the Z direction or other directions and be positioned in the limiting groove 112 on the profile 211, which may also achieve the purpose of limiting the movement of the unlocking input member 11 in the Z direction or the X direction. The stopper 111 may be a block-shaped stopper, instead of a cylindrical columnar structure, so as to restrict the movement of the unlock input member 11 in a specific direction by sliding in the stopper groove 112 of the profile 211.
As shown in fig. 4, in the present embodiment, the unlocking output member 12 includes a connecting rod which is a straight rod, two ends of the connecting rod are provided with hinged ends, one end of the connecting rod is hinged to the locking mechanism 3, the other end of the connecting rod is hinged to a push rod of the unlocking input member 11 (in the present embodiment, the push rod is a body of the unlocking input member 11), and two limiting members 111 are both disposed on the push rod. When the push rod of the unlocking input piece 11 horizontally moves along the Y direction under the driving of the unlocking driving part, the horizontal displacement is converted into the rotational displacement which drives the locking mechanism 3 to axially rotate around the X direction to unlock or lock the battery pack 200 through the linkage mechanism formed by the connecting rod of the unlocking output piece 12, so that the horizontal movement of the unlocking driving part along the Y direction is converted into the acting force which drives the locking mechanism 3 to unlock or lock the battery pack 200 by using the unlocking mechanism 1.
It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the unlocking input member 11 and the unlocking output member 12 are two different components connected to each other. However, in other embodiments, the unlock input 11 and the unlock output 12 may be a single piece that is integrally formed.
Specifically, the locking mechanism 3 in this embodiment is structured as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the locking mechanism 3 includes a connecting portion and a locking portion, the connecting portion is specifically in the form of a bent piece 311 having an included angle, one end of the connecting portion is directly connected to the connecting rod of the unlocking output piece 12 so as to transmit the movement of the unlocking output piece 12 to the locking portion, and the locking portion includes a lock tongue 321 that can be turned over relative to the battery pack 200 and a lock lever 322 that drives the lock tongue 321 to turn over. The locking rod 322 is fixedly connected with the bending piece 311, the unlocking input piece 11 is driven by the unlocking driving part to horizontally move along the Y direction, the bending piece 311 and the locking rod 322 are driven to rotate along the X direction through the unlocking output piece 12, and then the locking bolt 321 is driven to overturn so as to unlock or lock the battery pack 200.
Through the structural arrangement, the locking part is converted into the axial rotation of the locking rod 322 along the X direction through the displacement of the unlocking output piece 12, so that the aim of driving the locking bolt 321 connected with the locking rod 322 to overturn is achieved, and the aim of unlocking or locking the battery pack 200 is achieved through the locking bolt 321 which can overturn relative to the battery pack 200.
As shown in fig. 4 and 8, when the unlocking driving portion drives the push rod to move toward the end plate 22 of the bracket 2 in the Y direction, the Y-direction displacement of the connecting rod is converted into the X-direction rotation of the connecting rod in a connecting rod transmission manner, so as to drive the locking rod 322 of the locking mechanism 3 in fig. 7 to rotate, and further the locking tongue 321 of the locking mechanism 3 can be turned over, so as to lock or unlock the battery pack 200. As can be seen from the figure, the connecting rods are straight rods to transmit the displacement on the side of the bottom plate 21 of the bracket 2 to the side of the end plate 22 of the bracket 2.
In addition, as shown in fig. 3, positioning holes 113 are formed in both the side surface of the profile 211 and the side surface of the push rod of the unlocking input member 11, so as to horizontally mount positioning pins (not shown in the figure), when the unlocking input member 11 is located at a specific position relative to the profile 211, the positioning pins can simultaneously penetrate into the positioning holes 113 in the profile 211 and the unlocking input member 11, so as to fix the position of the fixing profile 211 relative to the unlocking input member 11 by means of pin connection, so that the position of the unlocking input member 11 relative to the bracket 2 is completely fixed after the unlocking input member 11 is moved to the specific position, so that the unlocking mechanism 1 can maintain the unlocked or locked state after the battery pack 200 is unlocked or locked by driving the locking mechanism 3, and the unlocking mechanism 1 cannot be restored to another state because the unlocking driving part is removed.
Wherein the mounting and dismounting of the positioning pin relative to the push rod can be achieved by means of a drive arranged on the bottom plate 21 of the carrier 2. The driver has the function of driving the positioning pin to move back and forth along the horizontal direction, so that the purpose of unlocking the pin connection and fixing the position of the input piece 11 relative to the section bar 211 is realized, and the specific implementation structure of the driver is not described again.

Under the unlocking method, only one unlocking driving part needs to be correspondingly arranged on a plurality of bracket assemblies 10, so that when a certain bracket assembly 10 needs to unlock the battery pack 200, the unlocking driving part is butted to the unlocking input piece 11 on the bracket assembly 10, the arrangement number of driving parts is effectively reduced, no additional driving part needs to be arranged on the bracket assembly 10 for unlocking the battery pack 200, the bracket assembly 10 can be further simplified, the structural complexity of an electric automobile using the bracket assembly 10 is increased, and the overall reliability of the equipment is improved.
The unlocking driving part can be directly arranged on the battery tray of the battery replacing device as described above, so that when the battery tray is driven by the extending mechanism of the battery replacing device to move towards the bracket assembly 10, the purpose that the unlocking driving part approaches the unlocking input part 11 and completes connection is synchronously achieved.
In addition, as shown in fig. 10, the present invention further provides a method for locking a battery pack, which also employs the unlocking mechanism 1, and the method specifically includes the following steps:
s21, controlling the unlocking driving part to be butted with an unlocking input piece of the unlocking mechanism;
and S22, controlling the unlocking driving part to drive the unlocking input piece to move in the direction opposite to the unlocking direction of the unlocking mechanism and drive the locking mechanism to lock.
In this locking method, the unlocking input member 11 is moved in the direction opposite to the unlocking direction by the unlocking driving portion located outside the carriage assembly 10, so that the locking mechanism 3 can lock the battery pack 200.
In this embodiment, the unlocking driving portion may be an air cylinder to achieve the purpose of pulling the unlocking input member 11 to move along the Y direction by using the pneumatic driving method to lock the battery pack 200, and of course, the unlocking driving portion may also be any mechanism capable of performing linear motion in the prior art.
For a plurality of bracket assemblies 10, only one unlocking driving part needs to be correspondingly arranged to complete the locking task. Specifically, when a certain bracket assembly 10 needs to lock the battery pack 200, only the unlocking driving part needs to be butted to the unlocking input member 11, so that the number of driving parts is effectively reduced, and no driving part needs to be arranged on the bracket assembly 10 for locking the battery pack 200, thereby simplifying the structural complexity of the bracket assembly 10 and the electric vehicle using the bracket assembly 10, and improving the reliability.

In other embodiments, the number of locking mechanisms is adjusted based on the size of the battery pack.
In addition, as shown in fig. 15, the unlocking mechanism 1 is further provided with an unlocking sleeve 14, the unlocking sleeve 14 is installed at the end of the unlocking input member 11 and used for butting and unlocking the driving portion, the end of the unlocking sleeve 14 used for butting and unlocking the driving portion is provided with an annular guide inclined surface 14a which is arranged in an inclined manner, and by using the inclined surface 14a, the unlocking driving portion can be accurately butted to the unlocking input member 11 for guiding, so that the reliability and the success rate of butting of the unlocking driving portion and the unlocking input member 11 are improved, and the unlocking driving portion can be successfully butted through the unlocking sleeve 14 when the unlocking driving portion is in a small position error relative to the unlocking input member 11. In other embodiments, the docking of the unlocking sleeve 14 with the unlocking driving part may also be: pin joint, clamping and other connection modes.
The unlocking driving part in this embodiment may be a rotating motor because a rotational motion needs to be input to the unlocking input member 11, and an unlocking driving member is disposed on a rotating shaft of the rotating motor to be in butt joint with the unlocking sleeve 14 and to realize input of a rotational displacement. Of course, the unlocking drive can also be any mechanism capable of performing a rotational movement as is known in the art.
