[0046] Here, the technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of the present application will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. involved in the embodiments of the present application are only used for the purpose of convenience of description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0048] In order to reduce costs, battery modules are mostly assembled using CTP (Cell To Pack) technology. Different battery box designs need to match different sizes of battery CTP modules for box assembly, and different sizes of battery CTP modules require the battery cell assembly equipment to replace the clamping tooling to obtain a clamping assembly effect that matches the current battery CTP module. Replacing the clamping tooling of the battery cell assembly equipment increases equipment costs and also leads to problems such as complex operation and reduced efficiency of the battery cell assembly process.

[0049] The present application provides a battery cell clamping mechanism. Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a battery cell clamping mechanism in an exemplary embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the positional relationship between an auxiliary clamping body and a battery cell module in an exemplary embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the positional relationship between an auxiliary clamping body and a battery cell module in another exemplary embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 is a schematic structural diagram of an auxiliary clamping body in an exemplary embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, Figure 1 The dashed arrow shown may represent the clamping direction, and the battery cell clamping mechanism 1 includes a clamping assembly 11 and an auxiliary clamping body 12. The clamping assembly 11 includes a base frame 113, a pair of clamping jaws 111 and functional components, the clamping jaws 111 and the functional components are assembled on the base frame 113, and the functional components are located between the pair of clamping jaws 111. In the first working state of the battery cell clamping mechanism 1, the auxiliary clamping body 12 is located on at least one side of the battery cell module 2 in the clamping direction, and at least one clamping jaw 111 is pressed against the first side surface of the clamping body facing away from the battery cell module 2 to clamp the auxiliary clamping body 12 and the battery cell module 2 to form a whole.

[0050] The present application further provides a battery cell assembly device 3, Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure of a battery cell assembly device 3 in an exemplary embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 The dashed arrow shown may represent the clamping direction, and the battery cell assembly device 3 includes the battery cell clamping mechanism 1 described above.

[0051] In the above embodiment, the battery cell clamping mechanism 1 includes a clamping assembly 11 and an auxiliary clamping body 12. In the first working state, the auxiliary clamping body 12 is located on at least one side of the battery cell module 2 in the clamping direction. The clamping claw 111 of at least one clamping assembly 11 is pressed against the first side of the clamping body facing away from the battery cell module 2 to clamp the whole formed by the auxiliary clamping body 12 and the battery cell module 2. The auxiliary clamping body 12 can be used to increase the width of the battery cell module 2 to be clamped, avoiding the problem of being unable to clamp the battery cell module 2 due to the limitation of the stroke of the clamping claw 111 by the functional components, and can be compatible with the battery cell module 2 whose width is less than the stroke limit of the clamping claw 111, which helps to reduce the cost of clamping tooling and improve the clamping reliability.

[0052] For example, the size of a conventional battery cell module 2 in the clamping direction is usually greater than or equal to 900 mm, so the size of the functional module of the clamping assembly 11 is usually greater than or equal to 900 mm to match the conventional battery cell module 2. When the size of the battery cell module 2 in the clamping direction is less than 900 mm, an auxiliary clamping body can be added on at least one side of the battery cell module 2 during the clamping process to increase the width of the object to be clamped, so that the clamping assembly 11 can at least be compatible with battery cell modules 2 with a size of 100 mm-900 mm in the clamping direction.

[0053] In some embodiments, the functional component includes a suction cup assembly. In the second working state of the battery cell clamping mechanism 1, the suction cup assembly is respectively fixed to the first top surface 121 of the auxiliary clamping body 12 facing the suction cup assembly and the second top surface 21 of the battery cell module 2 facing the suction cup. The suction and fixation of the battery cell module 2 by the suction cup assembly can not only improve the stability of the battery cell module 2 during the loading process, but also continue to provide adsorption force for the battery cell module 2 when the clamping assembly 11 is released, so that the battery cell module 2 can be stably loaded into the battery box. When the battery cell clamping mechanism 1 is in the second working state, the suction cup assembly can adsorb the second top surface 21 of the battery cell module 2 and the first top surface 121 of the auxiliary clamping body 12, avoiding the problem of suction cup leakage caused by the size of the battery cell module 2 in the clamping direction being smaller than the size of the suction cup assembly in the clamping direction, thereby improving the reliability of suction.

[0054] In other embodiments, the functional components may also be the base frame 113 structure, sensors, control devices, etc., which belong to the structure of the clamping assembly 11 and are assembled between the two clamping jaws 111 based on structural or functional relationships to achieve corresponding functions. This application does not limit this.

[0055] In the above embodiment, the first top surface 121 can be flush with the second top surface 21 to form a flat and continuous suction surface, which can cooperate with the suction cup assembly to obtain the expected suction and fixing effect without changing the original suction cup assembly structure.

[0056] The first top surface 121 may be a smooth plane to enhance the suction and fixing effect and avoid the influence of the rough surface on the suction stability.

[0057] It should be noted that the auxiliary clamping body 12 may be a rectangular parallelepiped structure, or a columnar structure with a cross-section that is a multi-deformed, circular, or irregular shape, and the present application does not limit this.

[0058] Taking the auxiliary clamping body 12 as a rectangle as an example, the first length L1 of the first top surface 121 in the direction perpendicular to the clamping direction is equal to the second length L2 of the second top surface 21 in the direction perpendicular to the clamping direction, so that the first top surface 121 and the second top surface 21 can obtain an overall neat object to be clamped, thereby improving the clamping reliability of the clamping jaws 111 and the stability of the suction cup assembly.

[0059] In some embodiments, in the clamping direction, the sum of the first width W1 of the auxiliary clamping body 12 and the second width W2 of the battery cell module 2 is greater than or equal to the third width of the suction cup assembly to avoid the suction cup assembly affecting the working stroke of the clamp 111 .

[0060] Taking the case where the second width W2 of the battery module 2 in the clamping direction is less than 900 mm as an example, the first width W1 of the auxiliary clamping body 12 in the clamping direction can be greater than or equal to 45 mm and less than or equal to 800 mm, so as to cooperate with the conventional battery module 2 with the second width W2 less than 900 mm to form a clamped whole that matches the suction cup assembly. The third width of the suction cup assembly in the clamping direction can be 900 mm or other values.

[0061] In some embodiments, in the assembly direction of the battery cell module 2, the battery cell module 2 includes a first portion 22 protruding from the auxiliary clamping body 12. When the battery cell module 2 and the auxiliary clamping body 12 are inserted into the battery box together, the first portion 22 forms a height difference H1 between the battery cell module 2 and the auxiliary clamping body 12, which can achieve the final effect of partially inserting the battery cell module 2 into the box first, then releasing the clamping jaws 111, pulling out the auxiliary clamping body 12, and then pressing down the battery cell module 2 through the suction cup assembly to achieve the final effect of inserting the battery cell module 2 into the box. Among them, the assembly direction of the battery cell module 2 mentioned above can refer to the moving direction of the battery cell module 2 during the assembly process into the battery box.

[0062] The thickness of the first portion 22 in the assembly direction of the battery cell module 2 may be 1 / 3, 1 / 4, 1 / 5, etc. of the entire battery cell module 2 , and may be selected according to a specific battery cell module 2 box-loading scheme, and the present application does not impose any limitation thereto.

[0063] It should be noted that the auxiliary clamping body 12 is made of insulating material to prevent the auxiliary clamping body 12 from being electrically connected to the potential outside the battery module 2 to affect the battery function and to prevent the battery from being damaged by leakage.

[0064] In some embodiments, at least one clamping jaw 111 is movably assembled on the base frame 113 to adjust the clamping stroke between a pair of clamping jaws 111 so that the clamping jaws 111 of the clamping assembly 11 can adapt to battery cell modules 2 of different sizes within the stroke range.

[0065] In the above embodiment, the auxiliary clamping body 12 may not have an assembly relationship with the clamping assembly 11 and the battery module 2, and is only located between the clamping jaws 111 and the battery module 2 when the battery clamping mechanism 1 is in the first working state and the second working state to increase the width of the battery module 2 in the clamping direction and improve the clamping reliability. Alternatively, the auxiliary clamping body 12 can be detachably assembled to at least one clamping jaw 111 to improve the convenience of operation and the reliability of clamping. Alternatively, the auxiliary clamping body 12 can also be detachably assembled to at least one side of the battery module 2 to improve the convenience of operation and the reliability of clamping.

[0066] In some embodiments, the battery cell clamping mechanism 1 may include a plurality of auxiliary clamping bodies 12, and at least two auxiliary clamping bodies 12 have different first widths W1 in the clamping direction. A combination capable of achieving stable clamping can be obtained by selecting different auxiliary clamping bodies 12 and combining them with different battery cell modules 2. Alternatively, a combination capable of achieving stable clamping can also be obtained by selecting at least two auxiliary clamping bodies 12 with the same or different first widths W1 and combining them with the battery cell module 2.

[0067] Among them, at least two auxiliary clamping bodies 12 can be located on one side of the battery module 2 in the clamping direction, so that one clamping jaw 111 is pressed against the auxiliary clamping body 12, and the other clamping jaw 111 is pressed against the battery module 2, forming a stable and reliable abutment relationship. In other embodiments, auxiliary clamping bodies 12 can also be provided on both sides of the battery module 2 to increase the width to be clamped.

[0068] The present application further provides a battery cell assembly method, which is applied to the above-mentioned battery cell clamping mechanism 1 or the above-mentioned battery cell assembly device 3 . Figure 6 is a flow chart of a battery cell assembly method in an exemplary embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 6 As shown, the above method can be implemented by the following steps:

[0069] In step S601 , a first in-position signal is received indicating that the auxiliary clamping body 12 is located on at least one side of the battery cell module 2 in the clamping direction.

[0070] In step S602 , it is determined whether the sum of the first width W1 of the auxiliary clamping body 12 and the second width W2 of the battery module 2 in the clamping direction is greater than or equal to the third width of the functional component in the clamping direction. If so, a clamping signal is issued to the clamping jaws 111 .

[0071] In step S603 , it is determined whether a second arrival signal indicating that the first part 22 of the battery module 2 has entered the assembly box is received, and if so, a release signal for the clamping jaws 111 is issued to remove the auxiliary clamping body 12 .

[0072] The battery cell clamping mechanism 1 includes a clamping assembly 11 and an auxiliary clamping body 12. In the first working state, the auxiliary clamping body 12 is located at least on one side of the battery cell module 2 in the clamping direction. The clamping claw 111 of at least one clamping assembly 11 is pressed against the first side surface of the clamping body facing away from the battery cell module 2 to clamp the whole formed by the auxiliary clamping body 12 and the battery cell module 2. The auxiliary clamping body 12 can be used to increase the width of the battery cell module 2 to be clamped, avoiding the problem of being unable to clamp the battery cell module 2 due to the limitation of the stroke of the clamping claw 111 by the functional components, and can be compatible with the battery cell module 2 whose width is less than the stroke limit of the clamping claw 111, which helps to reduce the cost of clamping tooling and improve the clamping reliability.

[0073] During the battery cell assembly process, after receiving the first in-position signal for the auxiliary clamping body 12, it is possible to determine whether the sum of the first width W1 and the second width W2 is greater than or equal to the third width. When the above condition is met, a clamping signal for the clamping jaw 111 can be issued to achieve the clamping function of the clamping jaw 111 while avoiding interference from functional components. After the clamping jaw 111 is clamped, the loading step along the assembly direction can be continued. When the second in-position signal is received that the first part 22 of the battery cell module 2 enters the assembly box, the clamping jaw 111 is controlled to release and remove the auxiliary clamping body 12. Subsequently, the battery cell module 2 can continue to be adsorbed by the suction cup assembly and moved along the assembly direction until the battery cell module 2 is completely loaded into the battery box.

[0074] The auxiliary clamping body 12 can be placed on at least one side of the battery module 2 manually, or by means of a robot arm and intelligent control, or can be assembled in a detachable manner on at least one clamping claw 111 or at least one side of the battery module 2. The auxiliary clamping body 12 can be taken out manually, or by means of a robot arm and intelligent control, etc.

[0075] The present application further provides a battery cell assembly device, which is applied to the above-mentioned battery cell clamping mechanism 1 or the above-mentioned battery cell assembly equipment 3 .

[0076] The receiving unit 70 is configured to receive a first in-position signal indicating that the auxiliary clamping body 12 is located at least on one side of the battery cell module 2 in the clamping direction.

[0077] The first judging unit 71 is configured to judge whether the sum of the first width W1 of the auxiliary clamping body 12 and the second width W2 of the battery module 2 in the clamping direction is greater than or equal to the third width of the functional component in the clamping direction, and if so, to issue a clamping signal to the clamping claw 111 .

[0078] The second determination unit 72 is configured to determine whether a second arrival signal indicating that the first portion 22 of the battery cell module 2 has entered the assembly box is received, and if so, to send a release signal to the clamping jaws 111 to remove the auxiliary clamping body 12 .

[0079] Regarding the device in the above embodiment, the specific manner in which each module performs operations has been described in detail in the embodiment of the method, and will not be elaborated here.

If so, a clamping signal is issued to the clamping claw 111.

[0084] It is determined whether a second arrival signal indicating that the first part 22 of the battery module 2 has entered the assembly box is received. If so, a release signal for the clamping jaws 111 is sent to remove the auxiliary clamping body 12 .
