LAWN MOWER AND BATTERY PACKAGE ASSEMBLY THEREOF
The invention provides a mower, which comprises a battery package assembly and a frame for bearing the battery package assembly; the battery package assembly comprises a battery package and a fixing plate, the battery package is fixed on the fixing plate, a plurality of first pulleys are arranged at the bottom of the fixing plate, and the first pulleys are distributed along the installation direction of the battery package assembly. The frame comprises a supporting surface, and the first pulleys are supported on the supporting surface. The battery package assembly of the lawn mower moves on the supporting surface in a rolling mode, generated friction force is small, and convenience and labor saving can be achieved for the mounting and dismounting processes of the battery package assembly.
ENERGY STORAGE AND DELIVERY SYSTEM AND ELECTRIFIED VEHICLE ARCHITECTURES WITH MULTI-MODE CONTROLS
The exemplified systems and methods provide fixed and exchangeable energy storage and delivery system in an electrified vehicle architecture with multi-mode controls. The exchangeable energy storage are configured to be optional and ultra-portable. The integration of fixed and exchangeable energy storage provides a vehicle configuration that is further optimized for size, weight, and convenience.
OVERHEAD TRAVELING VEHICLE SYSTEM
An overhead traveling vehicle system having an overhead traveling vehicle includes a main body, at least an upper surface of which is of a rectangular shape as viewed in a plan view, and a traveling wheel provided in each of four corners on the upper surface of the main body and rolls on a traveling surface of a track, the main body being arranged below the track by connectors each extending downwardly from the traveling wheel, wherein the overhead traveling vehicle includes charging electrodes on the upper surface of the main body, and a charger is arranged in a space above the traveling surface, at least a part of which overlaps with a movement space for the traveling wheels as viewed in a side view, and does not overlap with the movement space as viewed in a plan view.
PROTECTIVE SYSTEM FOR A RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
An electric vehicle which operates from a rechargeable battery. The rechargeable battery is contained within an enclosure such that an airspace exists between the rechargeable battery and an interior wall of the enclosure. An aerosol container containing an aerosol electrical insulator communicates with the interior of the enclosure so that when said aerosol container is discharged, the aerosol electrical insulator is released within the airspace to dampen any fire occurring with the rechargeable battery.
Electric vehicle power unit mounting plate
A device that supports a motor vehicle component includes a plate that is equipped with a securing device for securing a protective casing of the component and an attachment device for attaching to a structural element of the chassis of the motor vehicle. The attachment device is designed to break in the event of a collision involving the motor vehicle. The support device also includes a deflector that forms a ramp tilted upwards, one end of which extends at the height of the plate and an opposing end of which is tilted relative to the plate. This support device helps protect the occupant in case of a frontal impact collision by preventing rigid members from stacking up in a critical manner in the engine compartment.
ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM FOR VEHICLES
An energy storage system for vehicles is provided which is formed by a battery and a compartment for its accommodation which allows the insertion and removal of batteries and their connection to the electrical system of the vehicle with ease, quickly and at a low cost, both manually and based on auxiliary tools with different degrees of automation; the battery includes electrical connection elements and communication connection elements and is inserted in or removed from the compartment with a horizontal movement. The compartment includes electrical connection elements and communication connection elements complementary to those of the battery and allows cooling the battery; in this way, an electric vehicle can incorporate batteries as needed, adjusting its cost to its real use and reducing the waiting times due to charging its energy storage.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE WITH ACCESSORY MODULE
A vehicle includes a chassis, tractive elements coupled to the chassis, an electric motor coupled to the chassis and coupled to the tractive elements such that the electric motor drives the tractive elements to propel the vehicle, an accessory module coupled to the chassis and coupled to an output of the electric motor. The accessory module is configured to receive mechanical energy provided by the electric motor and provide at least one of electrical energy or fluid energy.
Battery lock
The invention relates to an electrically powered industrial truck, in particular a narrow aisle forklift truck, comprising a battery box for housing a battery block, which box is open on at least one side for removing the battery block in the width direction of the vehicle and comprises on its top face a strut extending substantially in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and at least one locking device for the battery block housed in a battery box, wherein the at least one locking device comprises a mount associated with the strut, a pivot shaft, which extends above the battery box in the width direction of the industrial truck and is pivotally held by the mount, and a pivot lever, which is carried by the pivot shaft and is pivotable between a locking position and a releasing position, wherein the pivot lever is designed, when in its locking position, to support the battery block in the width direction of the vehicle and, when in its releasing position, to release the battery block in the width direction of the vehicle.
Housing device
A housing device includes a first housing part and a second housing part arranged at different heights, each housing part to house a storage battery, and a first guide and a second guide to assist insertion of the storage battery into a respective one of the first housing part and the second housing part. The first guide and the second guide assist the insertion of the storage batteries in different respective manners.
Vehicle floor structure
A vehicle floor structure is provided including: a vehicle interior opening formation section provided inside a vehicle cabin, and demarcating a vehicle interior opening that opens into the vehicle cabin; a vehicle exterior opening formation section provided further toward a vehicle lower side than a floor inside the vehicle cabin, and demarcating a vehicle exterior opening that opens toward a vehicle exterior; a storage section provided at the vehicle lower side of the floor, and demarcating a storage space that connects the vehicle interior opening and the vehicle exterior opening together; and a pull-out receptacle disposed inside the storage section at a position corresponding to the vehicle interior opening, and capable of moving from inside the storage section to the vehicle exterior through the vehicle exterior opening.
