Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of spacer ring installation, and in particular to a spacer ring installation mechanism. Background Art

[0002] The battery includes a cell and a tab electrically connected to the cell, and a spacer is arranged around the tab. The spacer can effectively prevent a short circuit between the tab and other metal parts or the battery housing, thereby helping to improve the safety of the battery.

[0003] After completing the assembly of other components of the battery cell, it is necessary to assemble the spacer on the pole ear. Among them, the spacer includes two spacer parts, and the installation on the pole ear is completed by buckling the two spacer parts together. The current spacer installation mechanism usually includes a spacer positioning mechanism, a spacer reversal mechanism and a spacer buckling mechanism. Among them, the spacer positioning mechanism is used to position and fix the spacer, and the spacer reversal mechanism is used to reverse the spacer so that the spacer buckling mechanism presses and buckles the two spacer parts. Among them, the spacer positioning mechanism, the spacer reversal mechanism and the spacer buckling mechanism all include multiple driving parts (for example, cylinders, motors, etc.), which increases the complexity of the spacer installation mechanism, and also increases the production cost of the spacer installation mechanism. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present application provides a spacer ring installation mechanism, which can save a lot of driving parts, simplify the structure of the spacer ring installation mechanism, reduce the complexity of the spacer ring installation mechanism, and effectively reduce the production cost of the spacer ring installation mechanism.

[0005] One aspect of the present application provides a spacer installation mechanism for installing a spacer on a battery tab, wherein the spacer comprises a first spacer portion and a second spacer portion, wherein the first spacer portion and the second spacer portion are mutually buckled to form the spacer.

[0006] The spacer ring installation mechanism comprises:

[0007] A first mounting mechanism, wherein the first mounting mechanism has a first mounting groove, and the first mounting groove is used to accommodate the first spacer portion;

[0010] And when the first mounting mechanism and the second mounting mechanism move toward each other, the first mounting mechanism and the second mounting mechanism respectively drive the first spacer ring portion and the second spacer ring portion to move toward each other, so that the first spacer ring portion and the second spacer ring portion are interlocked with each other.

[0085] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0086] As described in the above background technology, after the assembly of other components of the battery cell is completed, the spacer needs to be assembled on the pole ear. The spacer includes two spacer parts, and the installation on the pole ear is completed by buckling the two spacer parts with each other. The current spacer installation mechanism usually includes a spacer positioning mechanism, a spacer reversal mechanism and a spacer buckling mechanism. The spacer positioning mechanism is used to position and fix the spacer, and the spacer reversal mechanism is used to reverse the spacer so that the posture of the spacer part is convenient for the buckling mechanism to buckle. Before the flipping mechanism flips the spacer, the buckling mechanism needs to be moved to other parts to avoid interference between the buckling mechanism and the flipping mechanism. In turn, a moving mechanism needs to be set to move the buckling mechanism. The spacer positioning mechanism, the spacer reversal mechanism, the moving mechanism and the spacer buckling mechanism all include multiple driving parts (for example, cylinders, motors, etc.), which increases the complexity of the spacer installation mechanism, thereby increasing the production cost of the spacer installation mechanism.

[0087] Moreover, the more motion mechanisms there are, the more likely it is that the deviation of the spacer installation will increase, thereby reducing the installation accuracy of the spacer installation mechanism.

[0088] In order to solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a spacer ring installation mechanism, by making the spacer ring installation mechanism include a first installation mechanism and a second installation mechanism, so that the first installation mechanism and the second installation mechanism are respectively provided with a first installation groove and a second installation groove, and the first installation groove and the second installation groove can respectively limit and fix the first spacer ring part and the second spacer ring part. The spacer ring positioning mechanism can be omitted, and there is no need to set a driving member corresponding to the positioning device. By driving the first installation mechanism and the second installation mechanism to move toward each other through the driving mechanism, the first spacer ring part and the second spacer ring part can be snapped together without turning the spacer ring part. There is no need to set a moving mechanism for avoidance, and only one driving mechanism is required to achieve the snap-fit ​​installation of the spacer, which can save more driving members. The structure of the spacer ring installation mechanism can be effectively simplified, and the complexity of the spacer ring installation mechanism can be reduced, thereby effectively reducing the production cost of the spacer ring installation mechanism. Moreover, the reduction of the movement mechanism can also effectively reduce the deviation of the spacer ring installation and improve the installation accuracy of the spacer ring installation mechanism.

[0089] A buckle device provided in an embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0090] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of an open spacer installation mechanism provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the closed structure of a spacer ring installation mechanism provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 A structural schematic diagram of a first installation mechanism provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 A schematic structural diagram of a second installation mechanism provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0091] The embodiment of the present application provides a spacer installation mechanism 10, which can be used to install a spacer on a tab of a battery. For example, a battery may include a cell and a tab, one end of the tab may be electrically connected to the cell, and the other end may extend out of the cell. The spacer may be arranged around the tab to isolate the tab from other components.

[0092] The spacer may include a first ring portion and a second ring portion, and the first ring portion and the second ring portion may be buckled together to form the spacer. For example, during the installation process, the first ring portion and the second ring portion may be placed on both sides of the pole ear, respectively. At this time, the first ring portion and the second ring portion are moved toward each other and buckled together, so that the spacer can be arranged around the outer periphery of the pole ear to achieve the installation of the spacer.

[0093] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the spacer ring installation mechanism 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application may include a first installation mechanism 100, a second installation mechanism 200 and a driving mechanism 300, Figure 3As shown, the first mounting mechanism 100 has a first mounting groove 111, and the first mounting groove 111 can be used to accommodate the first spacer ring portion. For example, the shape of the first mounting groove 111 can be similar to the shape of the first spacer ring portion. When the first spacer ring portion is placed, the first spacer ring portion can be pushed into the first mounting groove 111 from one end of the first mounting groove 111. After the first spacer ring portion abuts against the inner wall of the first mounting groove 111, it means that the first spacer ring portion has been placed in a suitable position, and at this time, the first spacer ring portion can be stopped from being pushed in.

[0094] Combination Figure 4 As shown, the second mounting mechanism 200 may be provided with a second mounting groove 211, and the second mounting groove 211 may be used to accommodate the second spacer ring portion. For example, the shape of the second mounting groove 211 may be similar to the shape of the second spacer ring portion. When the second spacer ring portion is placed, the second spacer ring portion may be pushed into the second mounting groove 211 from one end of the second mounting groove 211. After the second spacer ring portion abuts against the inner wall of the second mounting groove 211, it indicates that the second spacer ring portion has been placed in a suitable position, and at this time, the second spacer ring portion may be stopped from being pushed in.

[0095] The driving mechanism 300 can be used to connect the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200, respectively, and the driving mechanism 300 can be used to drive the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200 to move toward or away from each other, so as to close or open the spacer mounting mechanism 10. Moreover, when the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200 move toward each other, the first movable assembly 120 and the second mounting base 210 respectively drive the first spacer portion and the second spacer portion to move toward each other, so that the first spacer portion and the second spacer portion are interlocked.

[0096] For details, see Figure 1 As shown, the first mounting mechanism 100 can be located above the second mounting mechanism 200. Before the spacer is installed, the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200 can be in an open state. At this time, the first spacer portion and the second spacer portion can be placed in the first mounting groove 111 and the second mounting groove 211 respectively to achieve the limiting fixation of the first spacer portion and the second spacer portion.

[0097] After the first spacer and the second spacer are placed, the battery cell can be placed in the space between the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200. Figure 2 As shown, the driving mechanism 300 can be activated to drive the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200 to move toward each other. That is, the first mounting mechanism 100 can move downward, and the second mounting mechanism 200 can move upward, so that the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200 are closed to each other, so that the spacer mounting mechanism 10 is in a closed state.

[0098] When the first mounting mechanism 100 moves downward, the first mounting mechanism 100 can push the first spacer portion in the first mounting groove 111 to move downward. When the second mounting mechanism 200 moves upward, the second mounting mechanism 200 can push the second spacer portion to move upward, so that the first spacer portion and the second spacer portion can be interlocked and surrounded on the battery cell to achieve the installation of the spacer.

[0099] Since the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200 are provided with the first limiting groove and the second limiting groove, the first spacer ring part and the second spacer ring part can be fixed in position respectively, and no limiting mechanism is required to fix the two spacer ring parts in position. There is no need to set a driving member for achieving the limit fixation.

[0100] Moreover, the first installation mechanism 100 and the second installation mechanism 200 can be driven to move relative to each other through the driving mechanism 300, so that the first spacer part and the second spacer part move toward each other and engage. In this process, there is no need to flip the first spacer part and the second spacer part, and there is no need to set a corresponding flipping mechanism. The entire installation mechanism only needs one driving source to achieve the installation of the spacer.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present application, the spacer ring installation mechanism 10 includes a first installation mechanism 100 and a second installation mechanism 200, and the first installation groove 111 and the second installation groove 211 are respectively provided on the first installation mechanism 100 and the second installation mechanism 200, and the first installation groove 111 and the second installation groove 211 can respectively limit and fix the first spacer ring part and the second spacer ring part. The spacer ring positioning mechanism can be omitted, and there is no need to set a driving member corresponding to the positioning device. By driving the first installation mechanism 100 and the second installation mechanism 200 to move toward each other through the driving mechanism 300, the first spacer ring part and the second spacer ring part can be buckled, and there is no need to flip the spacer ring part. There is no need to set a moving mechanism for avoidance, and only one driving mechanism 300 is required to realize the buckling installation of the spacer, which can save more driving members. The structure of the spacer ring installation mechanism 10 can be effectively simplified, and the complexity of the spacer ring installation mechanism 10 can be reduced, thereby effectively reducing the production cost of the spacer ring installation mechanism 10. Moreover, the reduction of the motion mechanism can also effectively reduce the deviation of the spacer ring installation and improve the installation accuracy of the spacer ring installation mechanism 10.

[0102] Continue to see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the driving mechanism 300 may include a total driving rod 310, a first driving member 320 and a second driving member 330. The first driving member 320 and the second driving member 330 may both be connected to the total driving rod 310. The total driving rod 310 may be connected to a total driving source, and the total driving force may be input from the total driving rod 310.

[0103] Among them, the first driving member 320 can be connected to the first mounting mechanism 100, the second driving member 330 can be connected to the second mounting mechanism 200, and the total driving rod 310 can drive the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200 to move toward or away from each other through the first driving member 320 and the second driving member 330 respectively.

[0104] For example, after the main driving source inputs power to the main driving rod 310, the main driving rod 310 can move, and during the movement of the main driving rod 310, the first driving member 320 and the second driving member 330 can be driven to move. The first driving member 320 and the second driving member 330 can respectively drive the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200 to move toward or away from each other, so as to achieve the buckling of the spacer.

[0105] In this way, only one power source needs to be inputted at the main driving rod 310 to open or close the spacer installation mechanism 10 to achieve the installation of the spacer. No additional driving mechanism 300 is required, which can effectively reduce the driving parts of the spacer installation mechanism 10. The spacer installation mechanism 10 can be effectively simplified, the complexity of the spacer installation mechanism 10 can be reduced, and the production cost of the spacer installation mechanism 10 can be effectively reduced.

[0106] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of a driving mechanism provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0107] Continue to see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the spacer mounting mechanism 10 may further include a fixed base 340, which may extend in a vertical direction, and the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200 may both be slidably connected to the fixed base 340 along the extension direction of the fixed base 340. Furthermore, the first mounting mechanism 100 may be located above the second mounting mechanism 200.

[0108] For example, when the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200 move toward or away from each other, they can both move on the fixed base 340. In addition, when the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200 move toward each other, the first mounting mechanism 100 can move downward along the fixed base 340, and the second mounting mechanism 200 can move upward along the fixed base 340. So that the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism can be closed to each other. When the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200 move away from each other, the first mounting mechanism 100 can move upward along the fixed base 340, and the second mounting mechanism 200 can move downward along the fixed base 340. So that the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism can be opened to each other.

[0109] The fixed base 340 can provide a mounting and movement platform for the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200, so that the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200 can form an integral mechanism, which helps to improve the overall structural stability of the spacer mounting mechanism.

[0110] For example, see Figure 5 As shown, a linear guide rail 341 may be provided on the fixed base 340, and a slider 342 may be provided on the linear guide rail 341 to slide with the linear guide rail, and the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200 may be connected to the slider 342. The first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200 may be slidably connected to the fixed base 340 through the cooperation between the slider 342 and the linear guide rail 341. In this way, the smoothness and stability of the movement of the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200 may be effectively improved, which helps to improve the reliability and stability of the operation of the spacer mounting mechanism 10.

[0111] Continue to see Figure 5 As shown, the total driving rod 310 can be slidably connected with the fixed base 340. For example, the total driving rod 310 and the fixed base 340 can also be connected through the cooperation of the linear guide 341 and the slider 342 to improve the stability and smoothness of the sliding between the total driving rod 310 and the fixed base 340. For example, the total driving source can be a linear motor, etc., and the total driving source can apply a linear motion force to the total driving rod 310, so that the total driving rod 310 can move up and down along the fixed base 340.

[0112] The total driving rod 310 and the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200 can be respectively located on opposite sides of the fixed base 340, and the first driving member 320 can be fixedly connected to one end of the total driving rod 310, for example, the first driving member 320 can be connected to the upper end of the total driving rod 310.

[0113] One end of the second driving member 330 may be rotatably connected to the other end of the total driving rod 310. For example, as shown in the figure, the left end of the second driving member 330 may be rotatably connected to the lower end of the total driving rod 310. The other end of the second driving member 330 may be rotatably connected to the second mounting mechanism 200, and the middle portion of the second driving member 330 may be rotatably connected to the fixed base 340. For example, the right end of the second driving member 330 may be rotatably connected to the second mounting mechanism 200.

[0114] In this way, a lever mechanism can be formed between the second driving member 330, the total driving rod 310 and the second mounting mechanism 200. When the total driving source applies an upward force to the total driving rod 310, the total driving rod 310 moves upward and drives the first driving member 320 connected thereto to move upward, thereby driving the first mounting mechanism 100 to move upward.

[0115] Moreover, when the main driving rod 310 moves upward, the end of the second driving member 330 connected thereto will also be driven to move upward. At this time, based on the principle of lever, the end of the second driving member 330 connected to the second mounting mechanism 200 can move downward, thereby driving the second mounting mechanism 200 to move downward. The first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200 are moved in opposite directions, so that the spacer mounting mechanism 10 is opened, so that the battery tab can be placed between the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200.

[0116] On the contrary, when the main driving source applies a downward force to the main driving rod 310, the main driving rod 310 moves downward and drives the first driving member 320 connected thereto to move downward, thereby driving the first installation mechanism 100 to move downward.

[0117] Moreover, when the main driving rod 310 moves downward, the end of the second driving member 330 connected thereto will also be driven to move downward. At this time, based on the principle of lever, the end of the second driving member 330 connected to the second mounting mechanism 200 can move upward, thereby driving the second mounting mechanism 200 to move upward. The first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200 move toward each other, so that the spacer mounting mechanism 10 is closed, so as to buckle the spacer.

[0118] Through the cooperation between the total driving rod 310 and the first driving member 320, the second driving member 330 and the fixed base 340, the total driving rod 310 can drive the first driving member 320 and the second driving member 330 to move toward or away from each other during the process of moving up and down relative to the fixed base 340. Therefore, the first driving member 320 and the second driving member 330 can drive the first installation mechanism 100 and the second installation mechanism 200 to move relative to or away from each other to achieve the installation of the spacer. The reliability and stability of the spacer installation mechanism 10 can be effectively improved, and the operation errors or failures of the spacer installation mechanism 10 can be reduced or avoided, thereby effectively improving the reliability and accuracy of the spacer installation.

[0119] See also Figure 3 As shown, the first mounting mechanism 100 may include a first mounting base 110 and a first movable component 120. The first mounting groove 111 may be located on the first mounting base 110. For example, the first mounting groove 111 may be located at one end of the first mounting base 110 facing the second mounting mechanism 200, so that the first spacer ring portion in the first mounting groove 111 can be easily buckled with the second spacer ring portion in subsequent work.

[0120] The first mounting base 110 may be slidably connected to the fixed base 340. For example, the first mounting base 110 may be connected to the slider 342 on the fixed base 340, so that the first mounting base 110 may be slidably connected to the fixed base 340 through the slider 342 and the linear guide 341. The first movable assembly 120 may be movably matched with the first mounting base 110, and the first driving member 320 may be connected to the first movable assembly 120, so that the first driving member 320 may drive the first mounting mechanism 100 to slide along the fixed base 340 through the first movable assembly 120.

[0121] Specifically, during the closing process of the spacer mounting mechanism 10, the first driving member 320 drives the first mounting mechanism 100 to move downward as a whole through the first movable assembly 120, that is, the first movable assembly 120 and the second mounting base 210 both move downward. After the first mounting mechanism 100 moves to the specified position, the first mounting base 110 stops moving downward. For example, see Figure 5 As shown, a limit block 343 can be provided on the fixed base 340, and when the first mounting mechanism 100 moves to the specified position, the first mounting base 110 can abut against the limit block 343. The limit block 343 can limit the movement of the first mounting base 110, so that the first mounting base 110 stops moving. At this time, the first movable assembly 120 can continue to move downward, and in the process of the first movable assembly 120 continuing to move, the first spacer portion can be pushed out from the first mounting groove 111 on the first mounting base 110, so that the first spacer portion can be buckled with the second spacer portion.

[0122] See also Figure 4 As shown, the second mounting mechanism 200 may include a second mounting base 210, at least a portion of the second mounting groove 211 may be located on the second mounting base 210, and the second mounting base 210 may be slidably connected to the fixed base 340. The second driving member 330 may be connected to the second mounting base 210, and the second driving member 330 may drive the second mounting mechanism 200 to slide along the fixed base 340 through the second mounting base 210. For example, the second mounting base 210 may be connected to a slider 342 on the fixed base 340, so that the second mounting base 210 may be slidably connected to the fixed base 340 through the slider 342 and the linear guide 341. So that the second driving member 330 may drive the second mounting mechanism 200 to slide along the fixed base 340 through the second mounting mechanism 200.

[0123] Specifically, during the closing process of the spacer ring installation mechanism 10, the second driving member 330 drives the second installation mechanism 200 to move upward as a whole through the second installation base 210, and during the upward movement of the second installation base 210, the second spacer ring portion in the second installation groove 211 can be lifted and moved upward together, so that the second spacer ring portion can be buckled with the first spacer ring portion.

[0124] Figure 6 A cross-sectional view of a first mounting mechanism provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0125] Continue to see Figure 3 As shown, the first movable assembly 120 may include a first movable plate 121 and a pressing plate 122, and the first movable plate 121 may be connected to the first driving member 320. For example, the first movable plate 121 and the first driving member 320 may be connected via a connecting rod 150.

[0126] Combination Figure 6 As shown, the pressing plate 122 can be connected to the first movable plate 121, and the first movable plate 121 can be used to drive the pressing plate 122 to move under the drive of the first driving member 320. For example, when the first driving member 320 drives the first movable plate 121 to move downward, the first movable plate 121 can drive the pressing plate 122 to move downward together.

[0127] The pressing plate 122 can be used to push the first spacer part out of the first installation groove 111 during the closing process of the spacer installation mechanism 10. For example, during the downward movement of the pressing plate 122, the first spacer part can be pressed downward to disengage the first spacer part from the first installation groove 111 so as to be engaged with the second spacer part.

[0128] The first movable plate 121 and the first pressing plate 122 can transfer the force of the first driving member 320 to the first spacer portion, so that the first spacer portion can be removed from the first installation groove 111 under the action of the first driving force. In this way, the first spacer portion and the second spacer portion are buckled to form a spacer, which can effectively improve the reliability and stability of the movement of the first spacer portion and improve the reliability of the spacer installation.

[0129] Continue to see Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the first movable assembly 120 may further include an opening and closing member 123, and the opening and closing member 123 may be rotatably connected to the first mounting base 110. Furthermore, the opening and closing member 123 may be movably matched with the first movable plate 121. The first movable member 121 may be used to drive the opening and closing member 123 to rotate relative to the first mounting base 110 during the movement, so that the opening and closing member 123 is opened or closed.

[0130] When the opening and closing member 123 is closed, the opening and closing member 123 can support the first spacer portion, and when the opening and closing member 123 is opened, the opening and closing member 123 can be separated from the first spacer portion. For example, the number of the opening and closing members 123 can be two. When the spacer mounting mechanism 10 is in an open state, that is, the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200 are open. At this time, the opening and closing member 123 can be in a closed state. The opening and closing member 123 can be supported below the first spacer portion to reduce or prevent the first spacer portion from falling out of the first mounting groove 111 in advance.

[0131] As the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200 move toward each other, the first movable plate 121 and the pressing plate 122 move downward. During the movement of the first movable plate 121, the opening member can be pushed to gradually open, so that the opening and closing member 123 withdraws the support for the first spacer ring portion. At this time, under the pressing action of the pressing plate 122, the first spacer ring portion can be disengaged from the first mounting groove 111 to achieve the buckling with the second spacer ring portion, thereby completing the installation of the spacer.

[0132] Specifically, after the first mounting mechanism 100 moves to the designated position and is stopped by the stop block 343, the first mounting base 110 stops moving. The first movable plate 121 continues to move downward, and at this time, the first movable plate 121 and the first mounting mechanism 100 move relative to each other, which can drive the opening and closing member 123 to rotate relative to the first mounting base 110 to open the opening and closing member 123. The opening and closing member 123 does not support the first spacer portion, so that the first spacer portion is separated from the first mounting groove 111 under the action of the pressing plate 122.

[0133] Through the cooperation between the opening and closing member 123, the first movable plate 121 and the first mounting base 110, the opening and closing member 123 can support the first spacer before the spacer is fastened, and separate from the spacer when the spacer needs to be fastened, so that the first spacer part can be fastened with the second spacer part. This can effectively reduce or prevent the first spacer part from falling from the first mounting groove 111 before it is fastened, which helps to improve the reliability and stability of the first spacer part.

[0134] Continue to see Figure 3 As shown, the first movable assembly 120 may further include a push rod 124 , one end of which may be rotatably connected to the first movable plate 121 , and the other end of which may be rotatably connected to the opening and closing member 123 , and the first movable plate 121 pushes the opening and closing member 123 to close or open via the push rod 124 .

[0135] For example, when the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200 are in the open state, the first movable plate 121 does not move downward. At this time, the first movable plate 121 generates a pulling force on the push rod 124, so that the push rod 124 can lift the opening and closing member 123, so that the opening and closing member 123 is in a closed state. When the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200 move toward each other, at this time, the first movable plate 121 moves downward, which can drive the push rod 124 to move, so that the push rod 124 applies an outward thrust to the opening and closing member 123. Since one end of the opening and closing member 123 is rotatably matched with the first mounting base 110, under the thrust of the push rod 124, the opening and closing member 123 will rotate around the point connected to the first mounting base 110, so that the opening and closing member 123 opens outward, so that the opening and closing member 123 cancels the support force of the first spacer ring.

[0136] Through the cooperation between the push rod member 124 and the first movable plate 121 and the opening and closing member 123, the push rod member 124 can apply forces of different states to the opening and closing member 123, so that the opening and closing member 123 presents a closed or closed state under different forces, which can effectively improve the accuracy of controlling the opening and closing member 123 and enhance the reliability and stability of the movement of the opening and closing member 123.

[0137] Continue to see Figure 3 As shown, the opening and closing member 123 may include a swing rod 1231 and a support plate 1232. One end of the swing rod 1231 may be rotatably connected to the first mounting base 110, so that the opening and closing member 123 may be rotatably connected to the first mounting base 110 through the swing rod 1231. The support plate 1232 may be connected to the other end of the swing rod 1231, and the push rod member 124 may be rotatably connected to the swing rod 1231, and the position where the push rod member 124 is connected to the swing rod 1231 is located in the middle of the swing rod 1231.

[0138] For example, see Figure 3 As shown, the upper end of the swing rod 1231 can be rotatably connected to the first mounting base 110, and the lower end of the swing rod 1231 can be connected to the support plate 1232. The middle part of the swing rod 1231 can be rotatably connected to the push rod 124. When the push rod 124 applies an inward pulling force to the swing rod 1231, the swing rod 1231 can be in a closed state. At this time, the support plate 1232 can support the first spacer portion in the first mounting groove 111 to reduce or prevent the first spacer portion from falling.

[0139] When the push rod 124 applies an outward thrust to the swing rod 1231, the swing rod 1231 can rotate outward around the portion connected to the first mounting base 110, so that the end of the swing rod 1231 connected to the support plate 1232 is deflected outward. The support plate 1232 at the lower end of the swing rod 1231 is deflected outward, so that the support plate 1232 cancels the support for the first spacer portion. In this way, the first spacer portion is separated from the first mounting groove 111 under the action of the pressing plate 122, and is engaged with the second spacer portion.

[0140] Continue to see Figure 3 As shown, the first mounting mechanism 100 may further include a first guide column 130, which may be connected to the first mounting base 110. The first guide column 130 may be slidably matched with the first movable assembly 120, and the first guide column 130 may be used to provide guidance for the movement of the first movable assembly 120.

[0141] For example, the first guide post 130 may be slidably connected to the first movable plate 121 in the first movable assembly 120, and the first movable plate 121 may have a matching hole that matches the first guide post 130. The first guide post 130 and the matching hole may be matched through a linear bearing. In this way, during the up and down movement of the first movable plate 121, the first movable plate 121 may slide relative to the first guide post 130.

[0142] The first guide column 130 can provide guidance for the movement of the first movable component 120 , which can effectively reduce or avoid jamming, offset, etc. of the first movable component 120 during movement, and can effectively improve the stability and smoothness of the movement of the first movable component 120 .

[0143] Continue to see Figure 3 As shown, the first mounting mechanism 100 may further include a first elastic member 140, one end of which may be connected to the first mounting base 110, and the other end of which may be connected to the first movable plate 121, and the first elastic member 140 may be used to drive the first movable plate 121 to move in a direction away from the second mounting mechanism 200.

[0144] For example, during the downward movement of the first mounting mechanism 100, after the first mounting base 110 is blocked by the stop block 343, the first movable plate 121 continues to move downward, and can press the first elastic member 140, so that the first elastic member 140 can be in an elastically compressed state. As the first movable plate 121 continues to move downward, the opening and closing member 123 can be opened so that the opening and closing member 123 does not support the first spacer portion, so that the pressing plate 122 can push the first spacer portion out of the first mounting groove 111.

[0145] After the installation of the spacer ring is completed, the first driving member 320 applies an upward pulling force to the first installation mechanism 100 through the first movable plate 121. At this time, under the action of the first driving member 320 and the resilience of the first elastic member 140, the first movable plate 121 can be driven to move upward to drive the opening and closing member 123 to return to the closed state. As the first movable plate 121 continues to move upward, it will drive the first installation base 110 to move upward together until it moves to the initial height position.

[0146] By arranging the first elastic member 140 between the first movable plate 121 and the first mounting base 110, the first elastic member 140 can drive the first movable plate 121 to reset, which can effectively reduce or avoid the first movable plate 121 from getting stuck or failing during the resetting process, and can effectively improve the reliability and stability of the operation of the first mounting mechanism 100.

[0147] Continue to see Figure 3 As shown, the first mounting base 110 may include a first mounting top plate 112, a first supporting side plate 114 and a first mounting bottom plate 113 connected in sequence. The first mounting top plate 112 and the first mounting bottom plate 113 may be arranged opposite to each other, and the first supporting side plate 114 may be located between the first mounting top plate 112 and the first mounting bottom plate 113. The first supporting side plate 114 may play a supporting role between the first mounting top plate 112 and the first mounting bottom plate 113, and the first mounting top plate 112, the first supporting side plate 114 and the first mounting bottom plate 113 are surrounded to form an installation space, and the first movable component 120 may be arranged in the installation space.

[0148] The first mounting groove 111 can be opened on the first mounting base plate 113, and the first mounting base plate 113 is close to the second mounting mechanism 200, so that the distance between the first mounting groove 111 and the second mounting mechanism 200 can be reduced, and the first spacer ring part can be easily buckled with the second spacer ring part after being pushed out of the first mounting groove 111.

[0149] The first mounting top plate 112, the first supporting side plate 114 and the first mounting bottom plate 113 can provide a mounting platform for the first movable component 120, so that the first movable component 120 and the second mounting base 210 can form an integral structure, which can effectively improve the structural stability of the first mounting mechanism 100 and enhance the reliability of the movement of the first mounting mechanism 100.

[0150] See also Figure 4As shown, the second mounting mechanism 200 may further include a second movable component 220, which may be telescopically matched with the second mounting base 210, and the rest of the second mounting groove 211 may be opened on the second movable component 220, and the second movable component 220 may be used to support the battery cell. For example, during the installation of the spacer, part of the battery cell may be placed on the second mounting mechanism 200, so that the tab connected to the battery cell may be located between the first mounting mechanism 100 and the second mounting mechanism 200. For example, part of the battery cell may be located on the second movable component 220, and under the pressure of the battery cell, the second movable component 220 may be in a retracted state relative to the second mounting base 210, so that the tab may be in a suitable height position, so that the first spacer portion and the second spacer portion may be arranged around the outer periphery of the tab after being buckled.

[0151] In the process of buckling the first spacer part and the second spacer part, the battery cell can be located between the second movable component 220 and the first mounting base plate 113. With the cooperation of the second movable component 220 and the first mounting base plate 113, the battery cell can be reduced or avoided from being misplaced or tipped over. The battery cell can be prevented from being misplaced or tipped over to affect the accuracy of the spacer installation, which is beneficial to improving the installation accuracy of the spacer.

[0152] Continue to see Figure 4 As shown, the second mounting base 210 may include a second mounting top plate 212, a second supporting side plate 214 and a second mounting bottom plate 213 connected in sequence. The second mounting top plate 212 and the second mounting bottom plate 213 may be arranged opposite to each other, and the second supporting side plate 214 may be located between the second mounting top plate 212 and the second mounting bottom plate 213.

[0153] At least part of the second mounting groove 211 can be opened on the second mounting top plate 212, and part of the second mounting groove 211 on the second mounting top plate 212 and part of the second mounting groove 211 on the second movable assembly 220 can form a complete second mounting groove 211. During the installation of the spacer, the second spacer portion can be placed on the second mounting groove 211 first, and then the tab can be placed on the second spacer portion. During the buckling process, the first spacer portion can move downward from the top of the tab and buckle with the second spacer portion to buckle the spacer on the outer periphery of the tab.

[0154] At least part of the second movable assembly 220 may be located between the second top mounting plate 212 and the second bottom mounting plate 213, and the second movable assembly 220 may be extended and retracted up and down between the second top mounting plate 212 and the second bottom mounting plate 213. For example, when a battery cell is placed on the second movable assembly 220, the second movable assembly 220 may be retracted downward under the pressure of the battery cell. When the spacer is installed and the battery cell is removed, the second movable assembly 220 may be extended upward to achieve reset.

[0155] The second driving member 330 can be connected to the second mounting base plate 213. When the second driving member 330 moves up and down, the second mounting base plate 213 can be driven to move up and down together, so that the second mounting base plate 213 can drive the second mounting base 210 and the second movable assembly 220 to move up and down together, so as to realize the installation of the spacer.

[0156] The second mounting top plate 212, the second supporting side plate 214 and the second mounting bottom plate 213 can provide a mounting platform for the second movable component 220, so that the second movable component 220 and the second mounting base 210 can form an integral structure, which can effectively improve the structural stability of the second mounting mechanism 200 and enhance the reliability of the movement of the second mounting mechanism 200.

[0157] Continue to see Figure 4 As shown, the second mounting top plate 212 may also be provided with a receiving groove 2121, which may be used to receive the tab. For example, during the installation of the spacer, the battery cell is placed on the second movable assembly 220, and the tab connected to the battery cell may be located in the receiving groove 2121 on the second mounting top plate 212. The second receiving groove 2121 may provide a receiving space for the tab and limit and fix the tab, which may reduce or avoid the tab from being offset or misaligned during the installation of the spacer, thereby affecting the installation of the spacer. This is beneficial to improving the installation accuracy of the spacer.

[0158] Continue to see Figure 4 As shown, the second mounting mechanism 200 may further include a second guide post 230, one end of which may be connected to the second mounting top plate 212, and the other end of which may be connected to the second mounting bottom plate 213. The second movable assembly 220 may be disposed on the second guide post 230 and slidably cooperate with the guide post. The second guide post 230 may provide a guide for the extension and retraction of the second movable assembly 220, which may effectively reduce or avoid jamming, offset, etc. of the second movable assembly 220 during movement, and may effectively improve the stability and smoothness of the movement of the second movable assembly 220.

[0159] Continue to see Figure 4As shown, the second mounting mechanism 200 further includes a second elastic member 240, one end of which can be connected to the second movable assembly 220, and the other end of which can be connected to the second mounting base plate 213. When the battery cell is placed on the second movable assembly 220, the second movable assembly 220 will move downward under the pressure of the battery cell. At this time, the second elastic member 240 will be in an elastically compressed state under the pressure of the second movable assembly 220. When the spacer is installed and the battery cell leaves the second movable assembly 220, the second movable assembly 220 will reset under the rebound force of the second elastic member 240, so that the second movable assembly 220 returns to its initial position.

[0160] By setting a second elastic member 240 between the second movable component 220 and the second mounting base plate 213, the second elastic member 240 can drive the second movable component 220 to reset, which can effectively reduce or avoid the jamming or failure of the second movable component 220 during the resetting process, and can effectively improve the reliability and stability of the operation of the second mounting mechanism 200.

[0161] Continue to see Figure 4 As shown, the second movable component 220 may include a movable bottom plate 221 and a supporting vertical plate 222. At least a portion of the movable bottom plate 221 may be located between the second mounting top plate 212 and the second mounting bottom plate 213. The second mounting top plate 212 may provide an upper limit for the movement of the movable bottom plate 221, and the second mounting bottom plate 213 may provide a lower limit for the movement of the movable bottom plate 221.

[0162] The movable bottom plate 221 can be slidably matched with the second guide column 230. For example, a matching hole can be opened on the movable bottom plate 221, and the matching hole and the second guide column 230 can be matched through a linear bearing, so that the movable bottom plate 221 can slide up and down relative to the second guide column 230.

[0163] The support vertical plate 222 can be connected to the movable bottom plate 221, the support vertical plate 222 can be arranged close to the second mounting top plate 212, and the rest of the second mounting groove 211 is opened on the support vertical plate 222, and the support vertical plate 222 can be used to support the battery cell. During the installation of the spacer, the battery cell can be placed on the support vertical plate 222, and under the pressure of the battery cell, the support vertical plate 222 and the movable bottom plate 221 can move downward, and the movable bottom plate 221 can compress the second elastic member 240 to make the second elastic member 240 in an elastically compressed state. After the installation of the spacer is completed, the battery cell leaves, and the pressing force of the support vertical plate 222 is cancelled. At this time, under the action of the second elastic force, the movable bottom plate 221 and the support vertical plate 222 can be moved upward for resetting.
