Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to a fixture and heating assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Heating the base material is an essential step in welding thick plates for container ships. When heating the outer hull welds, the heavy heating elements are suspended high in the air without support, posing a significant safety hazard as they are prone to falling. On-site, spot welding with welding rods is typically used to fix the heating elements to the base material, which causes considerable damage. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, this application provides a fixing fixture and heating assembly, with the aim of solving the above-mentioned technical problems to a certain extent.

[0004] A first aspect of this application provides a fixing fixture for supporting a heating element for heating a base material having a region to be heated extending along a predetermined direction. The fixing fixture includes a fixing member comprising: An extension portion, the extension portion extending along the predetermined direction, the extension portion being disposed parallel to the base material; A plurality of support portions are spaced apart on the extension portion along the predetermined direction. Each support portion defines a predetermined space for accommodating the heating element, such that the support portion fixes the heating element and allows the heating element to extend to the outside of the area to be heated.

[0005] Based on the technical solutions described above, optionally, the number of fixing components is multiple, and they are spaced apart along a direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction.

[0006] Based on any of the technical solutions described above, optionally, among adjacent fixing members in a direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction, the support portions of the same order are arranged opposite each other in a direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction.

[0007] Based on any of the technical solutions described above, optionally, in adjacent fixing members in a direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction, the support portions with the same order are used to define the same heating element.

[0008] Based on any of the technical solutions described above, optionally, in adjacent fixing members in a direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction, the support portions with the same order are used to define different heating elements.

[0009] Based on any of the technical solutions described above, optionally, the support portion and the extension portion together define a predetermined space.

[0010] Based on any of the technical solutions described above, optionally, the support portion includes a connecting portion perpendicular to the extension portion and a defining portion connected to the connecting portion, the defining portion being parallel to the extension portion.

[0011] Based on any of the technical solutions described above, optionally, the predetermined space may be defined solely by the support portion.

[0012] Based on any of the technical solutions described above, optionally, the fixing member further includes a hanging part, which is connected to the extension part, and is used to hang on the base material and is detachably connected to the base material.

[0013] A second aspect of this application provides a heating assembly, which includes the fixture described above and the heating element.

[0014] Thus, according to the fixing fixture provided in this application, the heating element is supported by the fixing components in the fixture, so that the heating element does not need to be suspended as in the prior art, nor does it need to be connected to the base material with welding rods, thereby avoiding damage to the base material. The effective support of the fixing components for the heating element prevents the heating element from falling accidentally, reducing safety risks. At the same time, the position of the heating element relative to the area to be heated in the base material is relatively fixed, so that the heating effect of the heating element on the area to be heated is stable and uniform.

[0023] According to a first aspect of the embodiments of this application, a fixing fixture is provided. The structure and working principle of the fixing fixture will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] According to the embodiments of this application, the fixing fixture is used to support the heating element, which is used to heat the base material. The base material has a heating area extending along a predetermined direction. The fixing fixture includes a fixing member 100, which includes an extension 110 and a plurality of supporting parts 120.

[0025] In one embodiment, the extension 110 extends along a predetermined direction and is arranged parallel to the base material.

[0026] In the embodiment, the plurality of support portions 120 described above are spaced apart on the extension portion 110 along a predetermined direction. Each support portion 120 is used to define a predetermined space for accommodating the heating element, so that the support portion 120 fixes the heating element and allows the heating element to extend to the outside of the area to be heated.

[0027] Thus, according to the fixing fixture provided in the embodiments of this application, the heating element is supported by the fixing component 100 in the fixing fixture, so that the heating element does not need to be suspended as in the prior art, nor does it need to be connected to the base material with welding rods, thereby avoiding damage to the base material. In the embodiments, the effective support of the heating element by the fixing component 100 prevents the heating element from falling accidentally, reducing safety risks. At the same time, the position of the heating element relative to the area to be heated of the base material is relatively fixed, so that the heating effect of the heating element on the area to be heated is stable and uniform.

[0028] In this embodiment, the base material can be, for example, a thick plate from a ship, such as a box ship. As an example, the heating element can be an existing heating element, such as a conventional electromagnetic heating element, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0029] In the embodiments, the fixing member 100 may be formed of metal or alloy, such as iron, and the specific processing of the fixing member 100 will be described in the following description.

[0030] In an embodiment, the extension 110 in the fixing member 100 may be, for example, a rod-shaped structure, that is, the predetermined direction may be, for example, the extending direction, i.e., the extension 110 formed as a rod-shaped structure has two ends opposite to each other in the predetermined direction.

[0031] In this embodiment, the aforementioned plurality of support portions 120 are arranged at intervals along the extension portion 110, that is, along a predetermined direction. Here, the aforementioned plurality of support portions 120 can be arranged at equal intervals. On the one hand, this facilitates the standardization of the installation of the heating elements, that is, it provides standardized installation conditions for the installation of multiple heating elements. On the other hand, the equally spaced arrangement facilitates the rapid positioning of the support portions 120 when they are installed onto the extension portion 110, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the fixing member 100.

[0032] In some embodiments, the extension 110 and the support 120 may be connected by welding. In other examples, the extension 110 may be detachably connected to the support 120, for example, by fasteners such as bolts and nuts.

[0033] In the embodiments, the support portion 120 may independently form the predetermined space as described above, or the support portion 120 may jointly define the predetermined space with a portion of the extension portion 110, examples of which will be described in the following description.

[0034] In one embodiment, the heating element can be inserted into a predetermined space and supported by the support 120, thereby fixing its position relative to the base material.

[0035] In an embodiment, as an example, the number of support portions 120 may be two, three, four, five or even more. In the example shown in the figure, the number of support portions 120 is five.

[0036] According to the fixing fixture provided in the embodiments of this application, the number of fixing components 100 can be multiple, and they are spaced apart along a direction perpendicular to a predetermined direction.

[0037] In the embodiment, the fixing members 100 are actually arranged side by side. In this way, when supporting the heating element, if each fixing member 100 independently supports a heating element using its own support portion 120, then the arrangement of multiple fixing members 100 is beneficial to increasing the number of heating elements supported. If adjacent fixing members 100 cooperate in supporting the heating element, then multiple fixing members 100 are beneficial to improving the stability of supporting the heating element.

[0038] According to the fixing fixture provided in the embodiments of this application, among adjacent fixing members 100 in a direction perpendicular to a predetermined direction, support portions 120 of the same order are arranged opposite each other in the direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction. Here, "same order" means that the order of the extension portions 110 of each of the two adjacent fixing members 100 is confirmed from the same end to the other end.

[0039] According to the fixing fixture provided in the embodiments of this application, among adjacent fixing members 100 in a direction perpendicular to a predetermined direction, the support portions 120 of the same order are used to define the same heating element.

[0040] In the embodiment, the support portions 120 with the same order are used to define the same heating element. That is, the same heating element passes through the predetermined space of two adjacent support portions 120 in sequence along a direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction, so as to be supported by the two adjacent support portions 120 together, thereby improving the stability of the support for the heating element.

[0041] According to the fixing fixture provided in the embodiments of this application, unlike the example above, in some other examples, in adjacent fixing members 100 in a direction perpendicular to a predetermined direction, the support portions 120 of the same order are used to define different heating elements. Here, although the support portions 120 of the same order are used to define different heating elements, the adjacent support portions 120 of the same order in a direction perpendicular to a predetermined direction can still provide a reference for the setting position of the adjacent heating elements in that direction.

[0042] According to the fixing fixture provided in the embodiments of this application, as in the example mentioned above, the support portion 120 and the extension portion 110 can jointly define a predetermined space.

[0043] According to the fixing fixture provided in the embodiments of this application, in a specific embodiment, the support portion 120 may include a connecting portion 121 perpendicular to the extension portion 110 and a limiting portion 122 connected to the connecting portion 121. The limiting portion 122 may be parallel to the extension portion 110. That is, the connecting portion 121, the limiting portion 122, and the portion of the extension portion 110 together define a U-shaped groove. In specific applications, the openings of all the U-shaped grooves defined by the support portions 120 can face upwards. Thus, when the predetermined direction is vertical, the heating element can be inserted into the U-shaped groove from the opening above, and the heating element's own weight can be used to support it on the support portion 120.

[0044] In short, the fixing fixture provided in the embodiments of this application, as shown in the example above, is formed as a hook structure.

[0045] According to the fixture provided in the embodiments of this application, as described above, in some other examples, the predetermined space is defined only by the support portion 120. Here, the support portion 120 can be formed as a fork-shaped structure with an independent U-shaped groove. The bottom of the fork-shaped structure can be welded to the extension portion 110 by means of a straight metal material. Compared with the commonly defined U-shaped grooves described above, such independent U-shaped grooves can provide a smaller distance between the heating element and the base material, as in the example above, while the U-shaped groove in this example is advantageous for providing a larger distance.

[0046] According to the fixing fixture provided in the embodiments of this application, the fixing member 100 may further include a hanging part 130. The hanging part 130 may be connected to the extension part 110, for example, it may be provided at the upper end of the extension part 110. The hanging part 130 may be used to hang on the base material and may have a threaded hole. A bolt is inserted through the hole and screwed toward the base material to cause the bolt to abut against the base material, thereby detachably connecting the fixing member 100 to the base material. Here, the hanging part 130 may also be, for example, a hook.

[0047] The fixing fixture provided in the embodiments of this application is easy to install and remove, will not damage the base material, can be reused, has good load-bearing capacity, can prevent the heating element from falling, has high safety, the heating element can be better attached to the base material to be heated, and has high heating efficiency.

[0048] The following will describe in detail the machining process of the fixed tooling.

[0049] First, prepare two sets of flat iron pieces, each 50mm wide, 5mm thick, and 7000mm long, and two sets of bolts with a diameter of 20mm. Next, cut the flat iron pieces to the following dimensions: two pieces of flat iron with a length of 2140mm (used as two extensions 110 and a hanging part 130), and ten pieces of flat iron with a length of 180mm (used as two sets corresponding to the two extensions 110, for a total of ten support parts 120).

[0050] Then, the two 2140mm flat iron bars are bent to obtain the main body parts (extension 110 and hanging part 130) of the two fixing components 100. Next, the ten 180mm flat iron bars are bent to obtain the slot parts (U-shaped slots) of the ten fixing components 100.

[0051] Then, weld the slots to the main body at 400mm intervals, and install the fastening bolts 140 at the hook positions to complete the fabrication. During installation, hang the tooling hooks on the outer side of the ship, protruding from the deck. Hang one tooling on each side of the weld (the area to be heated) and tighten the fastening bolts 140. Insert the electromagnetic heating elements into the tooling slots respectively.

[0052] According to a second aspect of the embodiments of this application, a heating assembly is provided. The heating assembly includes the above-mentioned fixing fixture and the above-mentioned heating element. The heating assembly has the above-mentioned beneficial effects, which will not be repeated here.

[0053] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the scope of protection of this application. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the innovative concept of this application and the contents of the specification and drawings of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of this application.
