The process of changing physical properties is called a phase change process, during which the phase change material will absorb or release a large amount of latent heat.

[0003] Sometimes, a layer of PCM material is encapsulated on the surface of a battery to dissipate heat from the battery. In existing packaging devices, generally, the battery is placed in a packaging groove, and the liquid PCM material is poured into the packaging groove. After natural cooling, the PCM solidifies, and then the battery can be taken out.

[0023] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] Refer to Figures 1-4, a PCM battery packaging device, comprising: a first fixing mechanism 10 and a second fixing mechanism 20 that matches the first fixing mechanism 10. One end of the first fixing mechanism 10 and the second fixing mechanism 20 is fixed by a first locking component 30, and the other end is fixed by a second locking component 50. When performing PCM packaging on a battery, the battery is placed between the first fixing mechanism 10 and the second fixing mechanism 20. The first fixing mechanism 10 and the second fixing mechanism 20 are fixed by the first locking component 30 and the second locking component 50. The first fixing mechanism 10 includes a first fixing plate 11, a processing groove 12 fixedly connected to the first fixing plate 11, and a heat dissipation component 60 fixed on one side of the processing groove 12. The heat dissipation component 60 is used for quickly dissipating heat from the battery in the processing groove 12. The battery is placed in the processing groove 12 during packaging and is fixed in the processing groove 12. When the battery is being packaged, the PCM material generates heat during the packaging process. The heat dissipation component 60 enables the battery to dissipate heat quickly during packaging. The second fixing mechanism 20 includes a second fixing plate 21, a processing groove cover 22 fixedly connected to the second fixing plate 21, and a material injection component 40 communicated with the processing groove cover 22. The second fixing plate 21 cooperates with the first fixing plate 11 so that the processing groove cover 22 matches the processing groove 12. The processing groove cover 22 abuts against the processing groove 12 and forms a sealed interval for PCM packaging of the battery. The material injection component 40 includes a material injection pipeline 41 communicated with the second fixing plate 21 and a pressing member threadedly connected to the material injection pipeline 41. The first locking component 30 includes a movable buckle 31 fixed on the second fixing plate 21 and a locking ring 32 fixed on the first fixing plate 11. The movable buckle 31 is fixedly connected to the locking ring 32. When the movable buckle 31 is connected to the locking ring 32, baffles are respectively installed at both ends of the movable buckle 31. The baffles prevent the movable buckle 31 from easily falling off the locking ring 32 and facilitate the disassembly of the movable buckle 31. The second locking component 50 includes a connecting buckle 51. The connecting buckle 51 is movably connected to the second fixing plate 21 and is threadedly connected to the first fixing plate 11, facilitating the second locking component 50 to fix the first fixing plate 11 and the second fixing plate 21.

[0025] Further, the movable buckle 31 includes a fixing part fixed on the second fixing plate 21 and a movable part fixedly connected to the fixing part. A locking ring 32 is fixedly connected to one end face of the first fixing plate 11. The movable part penetrates through the locking ring 32. When disassembling another set of locking mechanisms, this movable buckle 31 does not need to be disassembled, and the movable buckle 31 rotates in the locking ring 32.

[0026] Further, a first connection hole is formed at one end of the connection buckle 51, and a second threaded connection hole 52 is formed at the other end. A first circular shaft connection seat 53 is fixedly connected to the second fixing plate 21, and a second circular shaft connection seat 54 is fixedly connected to the first fixing plate 11. A limiting rod 55 is inserted through the first connection hole, and both ends of the limiting rod 55 are respectively fixed to the first circular shaft connection seat 53. A threaded limiting rod 55 is threadedly connected in the second threaded connection hole 52, and the threaded limiting rod 55 is threadedly connected to the second circular shaft connection seat 54. The connection buckle 51 is movably connected to the first circular shaft connection seat 53, and the connection buckle 51 is threadedly connected to the second circular shaft connection seat 54 through the limiting rod 55, which facilitates the disassembly of the second locking assembly 50.

[0027] Further, the heat dissipation assembly 60 includes a placement plate 61 perpendicular to the first fixing plate 11, a motor 62 fixedly connected to the placement plate 61, and a protection plate 63 arranged parallel to the placement plate 61. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected in the protection plate 63, and the output shaft of the motor 62 passes through the rotating shaft and is fixedly connected to a fan 64.

[0028] Further, protection grooves 13 are respectively fixed on two opposite side surfaces in the processing groove 12. The protection grooves 13 are used for fixing the battery. When the battery is placed in the processing groove 12, both ends of the battery are clamped in the protection grooves 13 to prevent the PCM material from contacting the two poles of the battery.

[0029] Referring to Figure 5 , the pressing member includes a threaded cap 42 threadedly connected to the injection pipeline 41. A pressing rod 43 passes through the threaded cap 42. A rotating handle 44 is fixed to one end of the pressing rod 43, and a pressing plate 45 is fixed to the other end. After the PCM material enters the processing groove 12 along the injection pipeline 41, the pressing rod 43 is rotated so that the pressing plate 45 presses the PCM material downward to keep the PCM material flat.

[0030] Working principle: Place the battery into the processing groove 12 on the first fixing plate 11. Please respectively snap both ends of the battery into the protection grooves 13 to fix the battery in the processing groove 12, and also prevent the PCM material from contacting the two poles of the battery. Then move the second fixing plate 21 towards the first fixing plate 11 so that the processing groove cover 22 on the second fixing plate 21 fits tightly with the processing groove 12 on the first fixing plate 11 to form a sealed space. Then, the first locking assembly 30 fixes one end of the first fixing plate 11 and the second fixing plate 21. At the other end, thread the threaded limiting rod 55 onto the second circular shaft connecting seat 54. The connecting buckle 51 is movably connected to the first circular shaft. The connecting buckle 51 is threadedly connected to the second circular shaft connecting seat 54 through the limiting rod 55. Then inject the PCM material into the processing groove 12 through the injection pipeline 41. At this time, the threaded cap 42 is rotationally threadedly connected to the injection pipeline 41. Then rotate the rotating handle 44 to drive the pressing rod 43 to move towards the processing groove 12, so that the pressing plate 45 presses the PCM material downward to keep the PCM material flat. After injecting the PCM material, start the motor 62. The output shaft of the motor 62 rotates to drive the fan 64 to rotate. The fan 64 dissipates heat from the PCM material in the processing groove 12 to accelerate the solidification of the PCM material.

[0031] The equipment quantity and processing scale described here are used to simplify the description of the present invention. The application, modification, and variation of the present invention are obvious to those skilled in the art.

[0032] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed as above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments. It can be fully applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. For those familiar with the field, additional modifications can be easily achieved. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and the equivalent scope, the present invention is not limited to the specific details and the illustrated and described examples here.
