In addition to reducing the weight, it can also reduce interference from other components. The possibility of this not only reduces the power consumption of the actuation of the electric drive, but also makes the overall operation of the actuation unit more rapid and improves the responsiveness of operation.

2 and 3, this is an embodiment of a battery positioning device for a new type of electric vehicle. The electric vehicle 9 includes a vehicle body 91, a vehicle body 91 disposed on the vehicle body 91 and defining a suitable for inserting the battery 8 A battery barrel 92 of the insertion space 920 is provided, a seat cushion 93 installed on the vehicle body 91 and located relatively above the battery barrel 92, and a seat cushion 93 disposed adjacent to the battery barrel 92 and defining a seat cushion 93 Below, the bucket seat 94 of the storage room 940 where items can be stored. The battery barrel 92 has a through groove 929 connected to the insertion space 920 and located at the bottom, and the barrel base 94 is located in front of the barrel base 92 to maintain the overall center of gravity of the electric vehicle 9. This embodiment includes a lock unit 2 and an actuation unit 3 connected to the lock unit 2.

The locking unit 2 includes a fastened member 21 that is connected to the bottom of the battery 8 and can extend from the through slot 929 to the outside of the insertion space 920, and is suitable for being spaced apart from the battery barrel 92, and has a The fastener 22 moving between the locked position and an open position of the fastener 21 is fastened. Specifically, the fastener 21 is located outside the insertion space 920, preferably a metal strip bent to form a ring structure, and the fastener 22 is preferably as shown in FIG. 4 It is in the shape of a hook to facilitate hooking on the fastened member 21 made of a metal strip. It should be particularly noted that the structure of the buckle 21 and the buckle 22 as shown in Fig. 3 can also adopt other different appearances, as long as they can be mutually positioned by a purely mechanical structure. Not limited to this.

The actuation unit 3 includes a link 31 connected to the buckle 22, an electric drive 32 connected to the link 31 and used to control the link 31 to drive the buckle 22 to move, and an information connected to the link 31 The electric driving member 32 is a sensor 33 for sensing the opening or closing of the cushion 93. Wherein, the electric driving member 32 is preferably selected from a solenoid valve or an electric motor, and is arranged between the battery barrel 92 and the vehicle body 91, and is adjacent to the battery barrel 92, and can be affected by the battery barrel 92 due to its position. With the protection of the car body 91. The linkage member 31 is a wire that can be pulled by the electric drive member 32, and when the electric drive member 32 is in operation, it can directly drive the fastener 22 with a purely mechanical structure to move through the wire. In addition, since the distance between the electric drive member 32 and the battery barrel 92 is relatively short, the arrangement length of the linkage member 31 can be shortened. In addition to reducing the weight, it can also reduce the possibility of interference from other components, not only reducing the The power consumption of the actuation of the electric drive element 32 can also make the overall operation of the actuation unit 3 more rapid and improve the responsiveness of operation.

Referring to Figures 4 and 5 and in conjunction with Figure 3, the electric drive member 32 can be operated by an operating interface such as a button, a remote control, etc., so as to use a purely mechanical mechanism to drive the buckle 22 in Move between an open position as shown in Figure 4 and a locked position as shown in Figure 5. When the buckle 22 is moved to the locked position, it is buckled on the buckled member 21 connected to the battery 8, so that it can perform the function of fixing the position of the battery 8 relative to the battery barrel 92. Therefore, even if the electric vehicle 9 runs on a bad road and has bumps, since the battery 8 will continue to be fixed by the lock unit 2, it will not move relative to the battery barrel 92 and will not detach from the connecting terminal. The power outage is dangerous.

It is worth noting that, in order to properly control the actuating unit 3 in accordance with the riding condition, the sensor 33 is preferably a mechanical micro switch. The sensor 33 senses the opening and closing of the cushion 93 The effect of, can cooperate with the control of the electric drive member 32, so that when the seat cushion 93 is opened, the electric drive member 32 moves the buckle 22 to the open position, and when the seat cushion 93 is closed, the electric drive member 32 The buckle 22 is moved to the locked position. Thereby, it can be ensured that when the seat cushion 93 is closed and it is possible to be in the riding state, the buckle 22 is ensured to be in the locked position, that is, to be buckled on the buckled member 21, and firmly set on the battery barrel 92 to achieve The function of preventing the battery 8 from being detached also further provides the function of preventing the electric drive member 32 from being accidentally touched during riding, which improves the safety of use and riding; and when the seat cushion 93 is turned on, it is determined not to be riding In the state, therefore, the buckle 22 can be directly moved to the open position, which facilitates the user to disassemble and replace the battery 8 when the battery 8 is not locked.

In summary, the battery positioning device of the new electric vehicle can control the locking unit 2 by the electric drive member 32, and the mechanized mechanism of the fastener 22 to the fastened member 21 makes the battery 8 is fixed in the battery barrel 92, even if the electric vehicle 9 runs on a bad road and bumps, the battery 8 will not be disconnected and power off, effectively improving the safety and reliability of riding. Therefore, it is indeed possible to achieve the purpose of costing new models.

However, the above are only examples of the present model. When the scope of implementation of the present model cannot be limited by this, all simple equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the patent application of the present model and the contents of the patent specification still belong to This new patent covers the scope.
