  • Publication number: 20230331526
    Abstract: A locking mechanism comprises a main body, an ejector rod, a guide rod assembly, a carrier plate and a fixing assembly. The carrier plate comprises a center hole and a plurality of annular strip holes. The fixing assembly comprises a rotary disc. The center hole and the annular strip holes can lock the rotary disc in different rotation angles. The guide rod assembly limits the rotation tolerance of the carrier plate, and makes the carrier plate move up and down in the vertical direction. The rotary disc with limited rotational freedom is fixedly connected with the ejector rod, so that the locking mechanism can not only realize the linear lifting motion of the ejector rod, but also reduce the rotation angle error between the carrier plate and the ejector rod. A rotating lifting platform is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20230113630
    Abstract: A structure for holding a battery on an automated guided vehicle (AGV) so as to allow easy and convenient battery replacement includes two fixed supports and a bracket. The bracket is connected between the two supports and each support defines a vertical groove and two horizontal grooves. Two sliders at the ends of the bracket are insertable into either horizontal groove. The two sliders can move down along the vertical groove together until the bracket makes contact with the battery and holds it in place. The two sliders can move up along the vertical groove and sideways into the horizontal grooves, thereby unlatching and releasing the battery for rapid replacement. An AGV using the structure is also disclosed.
