Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present subject matter is related, in general to a locking assembly, and more particularly, but not exclusively to a locking assembly for a battery pack disposed within a battery holder for a vehicle.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] Conventionally, in all vehicles the battery is disposed on a battery holder and a clamping arrangement is provided to restrict movement of the battery pack in the battery holder. Further, in electric vehicles if there is a removable or swappable battery then a proper locking mechanism for the battery needs to be present. Removable battery provides a customer with an added flexibility of charging the battery, by taking the battery anywhere, be it home or at any shop where the csutomer can charge without any hassle.
[0002] However, the battery should not encounter high vibration and the battery should be locked in one place and at the same time the battery should be easily removable. Conventional locking mechanisms do not restrict upward and lateral movement of the battery pack when disposed in the battery holder and cause lot of vibrations.
[0003] Few state of the art locking mechanisms are disposed at a bottom center portion of the battery holder and a pin lock is used for locking the battery. However, such pin lock mechanism forces to increase the height of the battery legs which are disposed in the battery holder and such increased height of the battery legs interferes or creates a fouling with the movement of the swing arm of the vehicle. When such movement of the swing arm happens then the swing arm pushes or applies pressure on the at least one of the legs and there is a possibility of damage to the swing arm or the battery legs. Thus, if the battery legs are affected then then the battery position is affected and further upward jumping movement of the battery during vehicle riding condition may damage the battery and the battery holder.
[0004] Thus, there is increased battery holder wear and tear and there is a safety risk for the battery as well. Further, the conventional locking mechanism provided at the centre bottom part of the bottom cover of the battery holder and thus there is higher assembly and disassembly time. Further, such a conventional locking mechanism is difficult to assemble due to high precision requirement and improper assembly might damage the battery and the battery holder due to battery jumping in vehicle operating conditions.
[0005] Further, with the short pin locking mechanism, locking will not happen and battery will jump in upward direction and handling of vehicle is affected. Further, battery will get higher shocks, and this may affect life of the battery. Further, such conventional mechanism requires dedicated bosses or fasteners for mounting the latch assembly at the bottom.
[0002] Further limitations and disadvantages of conventional and traditional approaches will become apparent to one of skill in the art, through comparison of described systems with some aspects of the present disclosure, as set forth in the remainder of the present application and with reference to the drawings.

[00042] In an embodiment, an actuating member (104) mechanically connected to a second end of each of the one or more cables (108). In an embodiment, rotation of the actuating member (104) pulls the second end (118) of each of the one or more latches (102), and the first end (116) of each of the one or more latches (102) rotates around the clevis pine (114) to change a position of the first end (116) of each of the one or more latches (102) from a locked position to an unlocked position.
[00043] In a working example, the battery is placed on the battery holder in the vehicle. The battery holder is mounted to the frame of the vehicle and battery holder has an opening where the latch is located. The latch is mounted on the battery box using clevis pin and it swivels about that point. One end of the latch is for locking the battery and the other end of the latch has a provision on which the cable can be mounted for actuating it. The latch has a torsional spring attached so that the latch is always in locked position. The latch can be opened with the help of cable or any other means necessary to actuate it. Latch is used in the battery holder for locking the battery in place. Latch has a protruded member on one side such that it sits on the protruding member on the battery. This prevents the battery from jumping. The other end of the latch has a provision where the cable will get mounted. The latch swivels about the clevis pin. The latch is designed such that the latch will rest on the battery protruding part at its maximum radius and the resting face is perpendicular to the mounting axis.
[00044] Further, the latch is closed and opened with the help of cable. One end of the cable is connected to the latch and the other end of the cable is connected to the actuating member. The cable is mounted to the battery holder with the help of mounting slots in the battery holder. The latch is mounted on the clevis pin and the clevis pin is mounted to the battery box with the help of a split pin. This enables the latch to freely rotate about the clevis pin. Torsion spring is mounted on the clevis pin along with the latch. This helps the latch to be in locked position always.
