Abstract

The present application relates to a battery storage device and an oiling method, and belongs to the technical field of battery overhauling and maintenance. The present application provides a battery storage device for storing a battery and charging the battery, and the battery has a connecting element for being connected to an electrical apparatus. The battery storage device includes: a battery placement rack; and an oiling mechanism arranged on the battery placement rack and used for oiling the connecting element. The present application further provides an oiling method. By using the battery storage device and the oiling method provided in the present application, the connecting element of the battery can be oiled and maintained, and the service life of the connecting element of the battery is prolonged.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A battery storage device, in which a battery is storable and chargeable, the battery having a connecting element for being connected to an electrical apparatus, wherein the battery storage device comprises:
a battery placement rack; an oiling mechanism, arranged on the battery placement rack and configured to oil the connecting element; and a driving mechanism arranged on the battery placement rack, wherein the oiling mechanism is connected to an output end of the driving mechanism, and the driving mechanism is used for driving the oiling mechanism to move, so as to switch the oiling mechanism between a working position and a non-working position, wherein the oiling mechanism comprises a housing and an oiling element, the oiling element is arranged in the housing, and the housing has an opening into which the connecting element extends, and wherein a material of the oiling element is sponge, felt, or cotton cloth.

2 . The battery storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the housing is provided with an oil filling port for filling oil into the housing to wet the oiling element.

3 . The battery storage device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a position adjustment mechanism, arranged on the battery placement rack, and used to adjust a position of the driving mechanism on the battery placement rack.

4 . The battery storage device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an oil replenishing mechanism, arranged on the battery placement rack and used for replenishing oil for the oiling mechanism.

5 . The battery storage device according to claim 4 , wherein the oil replenishing mechanism comprises:
an oil filling device, arranged on the battery placement rack; and an oil replenishing pipe, with two ends thereof respectively communicating with the oil filling device and the oiling mechanism, wherein the oil filling device is configured to fill oil into the oiling mechanism through the oil replenishing pipe.

6 . The battery storage device according to claim 1 , wherein there are multiple oiling mechanisms, and each oiling mechanism corresponds to one connecting element of the battery.

7 . The battery storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the battery placement rack has a buffer compartment and a charging compartment, the buffer compartment is used for storing the battery, the charging compartment is used for storing the battery and charging the battery, and the oiling mechanism is arranged in the buffer compartment.

8 . A battery storage device, used for storing a battery and charging the battery, the battery having a connecting element for being connected to an electrical apparatus, wherein the battery storage device comprises:
a battery placement rack; an oiling mechanism, arranged on the battery placement rack and configured to oil the connecting element; and a driving mechanism arranged on the battery placement rack, wherein the oiling mechanism is connected to an output end of the driving mechanism, and the driving mechanism is used for driving the oiling mechanism to move, so as to switch the oiling mechanism between a working position and a non-working position, wherein the oiling mechanism comprises a housing and an oiling element, the oiling element is arranged in the housing, and the housing has an opening into which the connecting element extends, wherein the housing is provided with an oil filling port for filling oil into the housing to wet the oiling element, and wherein a material of the oiling element is sponge or felt.

9 . The battery storage device according to claim 7 , wherein:
the buffer compartment further includes a plurality of lifting assemblies, the plurality of lifting assemblies being fixed to the battery placement rack and configured to jointly lift the battery in the buffer compartment.
