[0045] At present, the demand for energy storage products in the market is increasing, and the installation workload of battery modules of energy storage products is also increasing. Some energy storage products require multiple battery modules for power supply. Multiple battery modules are placed in the battery installation slot of the energy storage product in series and connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the energy storage product. When installing the battery module, since the operating space of the installation slot for installing the battery module of the energy storage product is small, if multiple battery modules are placed in the battery installation slot one by one and then connected in series, the operation is very inconvenient; if multiple battery modules are connected in series outside the energy storage product first, multiple battery modules need to be transported and placed in the installation slot of the energy storage product at the same time, which is inconvenient to operate, and errors in operation during the transportation process can easily damage the series circuit.

[0046] In view of the above problems, the technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0047] Embodiment 1

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the assembly auxiliary tooling includes a base 1, a flip platform 2 and a push plate 3. The length direction of the base 1 is defined as the X direction, the width direction of the base 1 is defined as the Y direction, the X direction and the Y direction are perpendicular to each other, and the X direction and the Y direction only represent the spatial direction and have no substantial meaning. This embodiment takes the battery 8 as a battery module, and uses the assembly auxiliary tooling to install multiple battery modules 8 into the installation slot of the energy storage product as an example for explanation. Of course, the assembly auxiliary tooling of the present invention can also be used for the auxiliary assembly of other batteries.

[0049] The flip platform 2 is a box-shaped member with openings on both sides. The flip platform 2 is rotatably arranged on the base 1. The push plate 3 is a plate-shaped member. The push plate 3 is arranged inside the flip platform 2 and forms a storage space with the flip platform 2. The storage space is used to load the battery 8. The battery 8 can abut against the push plate 3, and the push plate 3 can slide from one end of the flip platform 2 to the other end. The flip platform 2 can rotate relative to the base 1, and the direction of the rotation axis of the flip platform 2 is the X direction. In this embodiment, the push plate 3 can slide relative to the flip platform 2 in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the flip platform 2, that is, the Y direction, to push the battery 8 out of the storage space. In other embodiments, the movement direction of the push plate 3 may not be perpendicular to the rotation axis direction of the flip platform 2. The movement direction of the push plate 3 is based on pushing the battery 8 into the installation slot of the product.

[0050] When installing batteries 8 in energy storage products, first place multiple batteries 8 in the accommodating space, and make the batteries 8 abut against the push plate 3, and then connect the multiple batteries 8 in series. After the multiple batteries 8 are connected in series, the flip platform 2 and the batteries 8 are turned together to a position aligned with the installation slot of the energy storage product, and the push plate 3 pushes the multiple batteries 8 to push the multiple batteries 8 into the installation slot of the energy storage product at the same time. The series connection of multiple batteries 8 is carried out on the assembly auxiliary tooling, that is, it is carried out outside the installation slot of the energy storage product, with a large operating space and convenient operation. After the series operation is completed, the push plate 3 pushes the multiple batteries 8 into the installation slot of the energy storage product together. The relative positions of the multiple batteries 8 remain unchanged during the movement, which can ensure that the series circuit of the battery 8 is not damaged. The assembly auxiliary tooling can make the installation process of the battery 8 safe and convenient to operate.

[0051] In order to make the process of pushing the plurality of batteries 8 by the push plate 3 smoother, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, a roller assembly 4 is provided on the surface of the flip platform 2, and the roller assembly 4 and the battery 8 roll together. When the push plate 2 pushes the battery 8, the battery 8 rolls on the roller assembly 4, which can reduce the friction between the battery 8 and the inner surface of the flip platform 2 to reduce the wear between the battery 8 and the flip platform 2, and at the same time reduce the force required by the push plate 3 to push the battery 8, thereby reducing energy consumption. Specifically, in this embodiment, the roller assembly 4 is provided on the inner wall on one side of the battery 8 for supporting the flip platform 2 after the flip is completed. In other embodiments, optionally, the roller assembly 4 can be provided on the side walls on the three sides of the accommodating space.

[0052] Specifically, the roller assembly 4 includes a plurality of connecting rods 41 and rollers 42. The connecting rods 41 are rotatably arranged on the flip platform 2. The plurality of connecting rods 41 are arranged in a direction parallel to the rotation axis of the flip platform 2, i.e., in the X direction. The rollers 42 are sleeved on the connecting rods 41. The connecting rods 41 rotate relative to the flip platform 2, thereby ensuring that the battery 8 is in rolling cooperation when moving relative to the flip platform 2. The rollers 42 are sleeved on the connecting rods 41, which can further increase the contact area between the roller assembly 4 and the battery 8, so that the battery 8 is subjected to more uniform force and moves more smoothly, so that the push plate 3 can push the battery 8. Specifically, in this embodiment, the connecting rod 41 is a smooth rod, and both ends of the connecting rod 41 are installed on the flip platform 2 through bearings. The rollers 42 are cylindrical members sleeved on the smooth rods. Each smooth rod is provided with a plurality of rollers 42, and the rollers 42 can be made of polyurethane material or other wear-resistant materials.

[0053] In other embodiments, multiple connecting rods 41 can be inserted into the flip platform 2, and multiple connecting rods 41 are fixed relative to the flip platform 2, and rollers 42 are sleeved on the connecting rods 41, and the rollers 42 and the connecting rods rotate in coordination. When the push plate 3 pushes the battery 8 to move, the rollers 42 rotate relative to the connecting rods 41, and the rollers 42 and the battery 8 roll in coordination, thereby reducing the force required for the push plate 3 to push the battery 8 and reducing energy consumption. Of course, in other embodiments, multiple connecting rods 41 can also be rotatably inserted into the flip platform 2, and the rollers 42 are sleeved on the connecting rods 41, and the rollers 42 and the connecting rods 41 rotate in coordination.

[0054] In order to reduce the manpower to push the push plate, such as Figure 2 As shown, the assembly auxiliary tooling also includes a push plate driving mechanism 5, and the output end of the push plate driving mechanism 5 is connected to the push plate 3. The push plate driving mechanism 5 drives the push plate 3 to move in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the flip platform 2 to push the battery 8 into the installation slot of the energy storage product, which greatly reduces manual labor and makes the assembly auxiliary tooling more automated.

[0055] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the push plate driving mechanism 5 includes a driving member 51 and a transmission assembly 52, and the driving member 51 is connected to the push plate 3 through the transmission assembly 52. ​​By setting the transmission assembly 52, the rotational motion of the driving member 51 can be converted into linear motion, so as to achieve the movement requirement of the push plate 3 along a straight line. Specifically, in this embodiment, the driving member 51 can be a motor, and the transmission assembly 52 can be a belt and a pulley, or a sprocket and a chain, etc. The driving member 51 and the transmission assembly 52 are both two groups, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the push plate 3. The arrangement of the two groups of driving members 51 and the transmission assembly 52 can make the movement process of the push plate 3 more stable. Of course, in other embodiments, the driving mechanism 5 can also be a linear motor, a linear cylinder, etc. that can directly drive linear motion.

[0056] Specifically, Figure 2 and 3As shown, the transmission assembly 52 includes a driving wheel 521, a driven wheel 522, a transmission belt 523 and a connecting pin 524. The driving wheel 521 and the driven wheel 522 are both rotatably matched with the flip platform 2. The driving wheel 521 is connected to the output end of the driving member 51. The transmission belt 523 is wound around the driving wheel 521 and the driven wheel 522. The connecting pin 524 is arranged on the transmission belt 523, and the connecting pin 524 is plugged into the push plate 3. The driving member 51 drives the driving wheel 521 to rotate, so as to drive the transmission belt 523 to rotate around the driving wheel 521 and the driven wheel 522. The connecting pin 524 arranged on the transmission belt 523 can drive the push plate 3 to make a linear motion along the length direction of the transmission belt 523, so as to realize the pushing of the battery 8. Specifically, in this embodiment, the transmission assembly 52 is divided into two groups and arranged on both sides of the push plate 3. The two groups of transmission assemblies 52 can make the push plate 3 move more smoothly. The driving wheel 521 and the driven wheel 522 are pulleys, the transmission belt 523 is a belt, and connecting holes are arranged on both sides of the push plate 3, and each connecting pin 524 is inserted into a connecting hole.

[0057] In order to realize that the flip platform 2 can rotate relative to the base 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, a rotating shaft 21 is provided on the flip platform 2, and an axle seat 11 is provided on the base 1. The rotating shaft 21 is passed through the axle seat 11 and can rotate relative to the axle seat 11. The rotating shaft 21 on the flip platform 2 rotates relative to the axle seat 11, thereby realizing the rotation of the flip platform 2 around the base 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, there are two rotating shafts 21 and two axle seats 11, and they are arranged on both sides of the flip platform 2. The rotating shafts 21 and the axle seats 11 are arranged on both sides of the flip platform 2, which can make the rotation process of the flip platform 2 more stable.

[0058] In order to realize the automation of the flipping process of the flipping stage 2 and reduce the manual labor, Figure 4 As shown, the assembly auxiliary tooling also includes a hydraulic drive source 6, and the two ends of the hydraulic drive source 6 are respectively rotatably matched with the base 1 and the flip platform 2, and the hydraulic drive source 6 is configured to drive the flip platform 2 to rotate relative to the base 1. The hydraulic drive source 6 can realize the driving of the flip platform 2 to flip, further improve the automation degree of the assembly auxiliary tooling, and reduce manual labor. Specifically, in this embodiment, there are two hydraulic drive sources 6, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the flip platform 2. The hydraulic drive source 6 can be a hydraulic support rod, which is rotatably connected to the flip platform 2 and the base 1, and the output end of the hydraulic support rod is extended and retracted to realize driving the flip platform 2 to flip.

[0059] Specifically, a first connecting shaft 12 is provided on the base 1, a second connecting shaft 22 is provided on the flip platform 2, and both ends of the hydraulic drive source 6 are respectively rotatably connected to the first connecting shaft 12 and the second connecting shaft 22. The first connecting shaft 12 and the first connecting shaft 12 and the hydraulic drive source 6 are rotatably matched to ensure that the flipping process of the flip platform 2 is smoother.

[0061] This embodiment provides an assembly auxiliary tooling, which is different from the first embodiment in that the flip driving structure of the flip platform 2 is a flip motor 7, which is arranged on the base 1, and the output end of the flip motor 7 is connected to the rotating shaft 21. The flip motor 7 drives the rotating shaft 21 to rotate, so as to drive the flip platform 2 to rotate. Specifically, in this embodiment, there are two flip motors 7, which are respectively connected to the rotating shafts 21 on both sides of the flip platform 2. The flip motor 7 can be a stepping motor, and the flip platform 2 is directly driven to rotate by the flip motor 7, and the structure is simple.

[0062] The working process of assembly auxiliary tooling is as follows:

[0063] Step 1: Place multiple batteries 8 in the accommodation space formed by the flip platform 2 and the push plate 3 in sequence, and make the batteries 8 abut against the push plate 3;

[0064] Step 2: Connect multiple batteries 8 in series;
