The battery tray according to the present invention for achieving the above object is a battery tray mounted with a battery installed in the engine room of the passenger car, the bottom plate is fixed to the vehicle body and the elevating plate to descend from the bottom plate, the It is achieved as a lifting means for lifting the lifting plate.

The elevating means includes a pair of first levers, one side of which is hinged to the bottom plate by a rotating shaft; A pair of second levers connected to the first lever by a central axis; A roller supporting the lower end of the elevating plate by connecting upper ends of the first and second levers, respectively; And a moving member connected to one side of the second lever and configured to move the second lever according to the rotation of the rotation knob, and further comprising guide means for fixing the horizontal position of the moving plate.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

3 is a perspective view of the liftable battery tray according to the present invention.

In the liftable battery tray according to the present invention, the conventional tray is simply fixed to the vehicle body and serves to support and fix the bottom surface of the battery, whereas the bottom plate 110 and the bottom plate (fixed to the vehicle body) It consists of a lifting plate 120 for lifting up and down with respect to 110 and the lifting means for enabling the lifting operation of the lifting plate 120.

The lifting means has a first lever 130, one side of which is hinged to the bottom plate 110 by the rotation shaft 132, the second lever 140 is connected to the first lever 130 and the central axis 135. ), And is formed of a moving member 162 connected to one side of the second lever 140 to push the second lever 140 according to the operation of the rotary knob 150. The first lever 130 and the second lever 140 are installed on both side surfaces of the bottom plate 110, and the upper ends of the levers 130 and 140 are first roller 134 and second roller ( 144). The rollers 134 and 144 support the bottom of the elevating plate 120, and are capable of being rolled about the bottom. In addition, one end of the first lever 130 is fixed to the rotation shaft 132 so as to rotate up and down via the central axis 135 in response to the forward and backward movement of the second lever 140.

In order to fix the horizontal position of the elevating plate 120, the guide plate 170 is installed on the bottom plate 110, and the guide hole 172 is installed on the elevating plate 120, so that the elevating plate 120 is positioned horizontally. It is desirable to be able to fix the.

The rotary knob 150 is rotated about a vertical axis, such that the rotation of the rotary knob 150 is rotated by the rotating screw shaft 160 having a horizontal axis by changing the direction of movement while passing through the bevel gear 155. Delivered. The movable member 162 screwed to the rotary screw shaft 160 is connected to the rotary shaft 142 of the second lever 140 so that both sides of the movable screw shaft 160 rotate. 162 moves in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the rotary shaft 142 of the second lever 140 is closer to or away from the direction of the rotary shaft 132 of the first lever due to the rolling motion of both wheels on which the rotary shaft 142 is mounted, and accordingly the first lever 130 ) Rotates around the central axis 135 by the rotation axis 132 as a hinge axis by the movement distance of the second lever 140, thereby elevating while the lifting plate 120 maintains an even parallel state Or to descend.

The rotary knob 150 is connected to the handle inner shaft 152 and the handle outer shaft 154 to form a through-hole into which the handle inner shaft 152 is inserted, so that the handle inner shaft 152 is connected to the handle outer shaft 154. In the deeply inserted state, the rotary knob is stored close to the bottom plate, and if necessary, the knob inner shaft 152 is pulled out of the knob outer shaft 154 to have the structure capable of pulling out the rotary knob 150.

Figure 4a to 4c is a view for explaining the operating state of the liftable battery tray according to the present invention, Figure 4a shows a state in which the battery is fixed, Figure 4b is a bottom plate to lift the battery to remove the plate Figure 4c shows the state in close contact with, Figure 4c shows a state in which the lifting plate is raised to remove the fixing bracket and remove the battery.

Normally, as shown in FIG. 4A, the elevating plate 120 is spaced apart from the bottom plate 110, and the battery 10 is fixed by the fixing bracket 180 attached to the bottom plate. In order to detach the battery 10, the fixing bracket 180 needs to be removed. For this purpose, the lifting plate 120 is lowered to a state as illustrated in FIG. 4B, and then the fixing bracket 180 is removed. At this time, the bracket 180 has a sufficient distance from the upper surface of the battery 10, the operator is very easy to remove without a separate tool. Then, the rotary knob 150 is rotated in the opposite direction to raise the lift plate 120 until the battery 10 is sufficiently exposed to the outside, and then take out the battery 10.

The mounting of the battery 10 is performed in the reverse order. First, the lifting plate 120 is raised as shown in FIG. 4C, and then the battery 10 is placed on the lifting plate 120, and the lifting plate 120 is the bottom plate. Lower until it is in close contact with 110, the fixing bracket 180 is inserted into the bottom plate 110, and then elevating the lifting plate 120 to fix the battery 10 between the lifting plate and the fixing bracket. To be.

The present invention has an effect of facilitating removal and installation of the battery by providing a structure that can be removed after withdrawing the battery to the upper inside the hood is full of parts and electrical components of the engine. Therefore, the user can reduce the risk of injuries that may occur in the back during the process of removing or inserting the battery.

In addition, when the battery is used in the state of drawing out the battery during inspection and maintenance, the interference between the cable connected to the battery and other components does not occur, so there is no risk of short circuit, and the distilled water level and the status can be easily checked. You can expect
