an unlocking arm connected to the fixing plate through an unlocking arm rotating shaft on the fixing plate, and the unlocking arm has a second rotational degree of freedom with the unlocking arm rotating shaft as an axis, wherein the unlocking arm rotating shaft is parallel to the locking arm rotating shaft; wherein,
the locking arm has a first locking flange and a second locking flange, a locking groove is formed between the first locking flange and the second locking flange, and when the locking hook is locked on the locking member, the locking post is located in the locking groove;
the unlocking arm has a first positioning flange, when the locking hook is locked on the locking member, the first positioning flange is located between the first locking flange and the second locking flange, and the first positioning flange abuts against the first locking flange.
4. The battery assembly locking device according to claim 3 , wherein,
a first torsion spring is sleeved around the locking arm rotating shaft, and the locking arm has a rotation tendency in a direction from the first locking flange to the second locking flange via the locking groove under the action of the first torsion spring;
a second torsion spring is sleeved around unlocking arm rotating shaft, and the unlocking arm has a rotation tendency opposite to that of the locking arm under the action of the second torsion spring;
the fixing plate further has a first stop flange and a second stop flange; wherein,
when the locking member is unlocked from the locking hook, the locking arm rotates under the action of the first torsion spring, so that when the locking groove faces the locking hook, an edge of the second locking flange on the locking arm abuts against the first stop flange;
the unlocking arm further has a second positioning flange, and when the locking hook is locking on the locking member, the second positioning flange abuts against the second stop flange under the action of the second torsion spring.
5. The battery assembly locking device according to claim 4 , wherein,
the unlocking handle is located at an end of the unlocking arm away from the unlocking arm rotating shaft, to rotate in a direction against the action of the second torsion spring under the pushing of the unlocking member, so that the unlocking handle is disengaged with the locking groove from a side of the first locking flange when the first positioning flange is located between the first locking flange and the second locking flange and abuts against the first locking flange.
6. The battery assembly locking device according to claim 1 , wherein the battery assembly includes:
a battery mounting plate;
a battery mounted on the battery mounting plate; wherein,
the locking hook is mounted on the battery mounting plate and is located on a side of the battery mounting plate facing the battery.
7. The battery assembly locking device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a positioning assembly; wherein,
the battery assembly and the body of the automated guiding vehicle are mutually positioned with each other through the positioning assembly.
8. The battery assembly locking device according to claim 7 , wherein the positioning assembly comprises:
