the ramp is arranged on an end of the lifting platform to cause the mobile charging cart to move to the lifting platform through the ramp and be ascended or descended to the predetermined position through the lifting platform.
6 . The management vehicle according to claim 5 , wherein the lifting platform is foldably arranged to be in a folded storage position after the mobile charging cart enters the container.
7 . The management vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a plurality of vertical suspension devices arranged sequentially in a longitudinal direction in the container, each suspension device being configured to support the mobile charging cart in a vertical posture or an inclined posture.
8 . The management vehicle according to claim 7 , wherein the suspension device includes:
a plurality of locking brackets, each of the plurality of locking brackets being configured to be connected to a locking member arranged near a front side of the mobile charging cart to be releasably locked with the mobile charging cart;
a plurality of rope devices, an end of a rope of each of the plurality of rope devices being configured to be connected to the locking bracket; and
an electric motor configured to drive the rope of the rope device to move to suspend the locking bracket in a vertical posture or an inclined posture in the container or to place the locking bracket from the vertical posture or the inclined posture to a horizontal posture.
9 . The management vehicle according to claim 8 , further comprising:
a plurality of guide devices extending in a vertical direction and configured to be connected to corresponding locking brackets during a vertical ascending or descending process of the lock brackets to guide the locking brackets to move in the vertical direction to further control postures of the mobile charging carts.
10 . The management vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a communication device configured to communicate with the plurality of mobile charging carts to obtain current power information of the plurality of mobile charging carts to send the current power information to the sorting device.
11 . The management vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising a dispatch device configured to, in response to a charging and/or recovery instruction, instruct a mobile charging cart that enters the container later to exit the management vehicle earlier than a mobile charging cart that enters the container earlier.
12 . The management vehicle according to claim 11 , wherein the dispatch device is further configured to:
in response to the charging instruction, dispatching the mobile charging cart to perform a charging task according to remaining power of each mobile charging cart of the plurality of mobile charging carts.
13 . The management vehicle according to claim 11 , wherein the dispatch device is further configured to:
in response to the recovery instruction, dispatch the mobile charging cart to leave the management vehicle to perform a recovery task according to remaining power of each mobile charging cart of the plurality of mobile charging carts, the recovery task including instructing the mobile charging cart to enter another management vehicle.
14 . The management vehicle according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a recovery device configured to, in response to a recovery instruction, allow a mobile charging cart from another management vehicle to enter the management vehicle.
15 . An electronic apparatus comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more memories storing a computer program that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:
accommodate the plurality of mobile charging carts;
rotate a ramp to a ground where the management vehicle is located to provide a travel path for a mobile charging cart to enter a container; and
generate an order for the plurality of mobile charging carts to enter the container according to current power of each mobile charging cart of the plurality of mobile charging carts and send instructions to the plurality of mobile charging carts to cause the plurality of mobile charging carts to enter the container in the order.
16 . The apparatus according to claim 15 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
