Battery changer

Abstract

The invention provides a battery changer capable of rapidly exchanging a discharged battery of a self-propelled traveling device to remarkably shorten a dead time for movement so as to increase the operation rate A battery changer 1 exchanges a battery Y to be loaded into a self-propelled traveling device X, and the battery changer includes a battery access part 5 that moves forward and backward between a device body 2 and a battery take-out port Z of a battery placing part of the self-propelled traveling device X; a battery grasping part 5a disposed at a front end of the battery access part 5; a feed mechanism part 6a that is disposed on a front side of the battery access part 5 and that moves perpendicularly in forward and backward directions of the battery access part 5; and two or more battery storage parts 6 movably disposed at the battery access part 5 and the feed mechanism part 6a.
