Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery module technology, specifically to a battery module extraction and installation device. Background Technology

[0002] In new energy vehicles and energy storage equipment, battery modules, as core energy storage units, require frequent extraction and installation operations during production, assembly, maintenance, replacement, recycling, and dismantling. In early or small-scale scenarios, manual handling and extraction were often relied upon. However, battery modules typically weigh tens or even hundreds of kilograms, making manual operation labor-intensive, inefficient, and prone to damage due to improper handling, which could even lead to safety accidents such as battery short circuits or electrolyte leaks. Therefore, extraction and installation devices are often used in conjunction with these modules.

[0003] Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN214589111U discloses a battery module and its mounting device. The specification of this battery module and mounting device reveals that a protective structure is disposed on the side of the battery module, and the lower surface of the protective structure can abut against the mounting device. The protective structure is configured to protect the battery module body during installation or removal, preventing damage to the battery module body caused by friction between the battery module and the mounting device. However, while this battery module and mounting device can protect the battery module, it is not convenient to quickly connect to the battery module, thus hindering subsequent extraction and installation. Furthermore, the lack of an adjustment structure makes it difficult to clamp battery modules of different diameters, requiring the use of different sized extraction and mounting devices depending on the battery module's diameter, resulting in poor practicality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a battery module extraction and installation device, which can effectively solve the problems in the prior art, such as the inconvenience of quickly connecting to the battery module, which makes subsequent extraction and installation inconvenient, and the lack of an adjustment structure, which makes it inconvenient to clamp battery modules of different diameters. As a result, different sizes of extraction and installation devices need to be replaced according to the different diameters of the battery modules, resulting in poor practicality.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is: a battery module extraction and installation device, including a battery module body, a connecting frame and a slide rail are fixedly installed at the outer edges of both ends of the battery module body, a clamping component is provided at the end of the connecting frame away from the battery module body, a fixing plate is snapped onto the end of the clamping component away from the battery module body, a fixing seat is fixedly installed at the end of the fixing plate away from the battery module body, a slide block is fixedly installed at the end of the fixing seat away from the fixing plate, the slide block and the slide rail are slidably connected, and a top plate is fixedly installed at the end of the slide rail away from the slide block; The clamping assembly includes a fixed sleeve, a first fixed frame, and a second fixed frame. A first limiting frame is fixedly installed on the outer edge of the fixed sleeve, and the first limiting frame abuts against a fixed plate. A sliding rod is slidably connected on the inner edge of the fixed sleeve. A fixed rod is fixedly installed at the end of the sliding rod away from the first fixed frame, and the second fixed frame is fixedly installed at the end of the fixed rod away from the first fixed frame.

[0006] Preferably, one end of the limiting frame 1 is threadedly connected to a positioning bolt 1, which extends through the limiting frame 1 to the inner edge of the fixing plate.

[0007] Through the above technical solution, by designing the positioning bolt, when the battery module body is clamped by the clamping assembly, the limiting frame can be engaged with the fixing plate. Then, by rotating the positioning bolt, the clamping assembly and the fixing plate can be locked, and the parts on the top of the fixing plate can be installed subsequently.

[0008] Preferably, a positioning groove is provided through the outer edge of the connecting frame, a first abutment is fixedly installed at the end of the first fixing frame away from the fixing sleeve, and a second abutment is fixedly installed at the end of the first fixing rod away from the first fixing frame. The first abutment and the second abutment pass through the positioning groove and abut against the connecting frames at both ends of the battery module body.

[0009] Through the above technical solution, by designing the positioning groove, after the connection with the fixing plate is completed, the first abutment can be inserted into the positioning groove at one end of the connecting frame. Then, with the second abutment, the other end of the clamping component can be fixed to the connecting frame. This makes it easy to connect the battery module body, clamping component and fixing plate into a whole, which facilitates subsequent extraction and installation.

[0010] Preferably, a limiting hole is provided through the outer wall of the fixing sleeve, and a limiting block is elastically connected to the outer edge of the sliding rod. The limiting hole and the limiting block are the same size. A pin is provided through the outer edge of the fixing sleeve, and the pin observes the fixing sleeve and extends to the inner surface of the fixing rod.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, the design of the limiting hole allows the sliding rod and the fixing rod to slide within the fixing sleeve, and then the limiting block abuts against the limiting hole, which can play a role in pre-positioning. Subsequently, the design of the pin can lock the fixing sleeve and the fixing rod, which can prevent them from easily shifting.

[0012] Preferably, a connecting seat is fixedly installed at the end of the fixing plate away from the battery module body, and a positioning hole is provided through the end of the top plate near the connecting seat.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, by designing the connecting seat and the top plate, when extracting the battery module body with a fixed standard diameter, the connecting seat and the top plate can be aligned, and then the threaded hole on the top of the connecting seat can be aligned with the positioning hole. Then, the two are fixed together by bolts, which facilitates the extraction of the battery module body with a standard diameter.

[0014] Preferably, the slide rail is adapted to the slide base, and a handle is fixedly installed at the end of the top plate away from the battery module body.

After the adjustment is completed, the staff can pick up the whole device through the handle, thereby improving its convenience.

[0016] Preferably, a sliding groove is provided through the top plate, and a second limiting frame is fixedly installed at the end of the fixed seat away from the fixed plate. The second limiting frame has a "U" shaped cross section, and a limiting bolt is threaded to the end of the second limiting frame away from the fixed seat. The second limiting frame is slidably connected to the top plate through the sliding groove, and the limiting bolt passes through the second limiting frame and abuts against the top plate.

[0017] With the above technical solution, after the adjustment is completed by the cooperation of the slide rail and the slide block, one end of the limit bracket can be inserted into the slide groove, so that it can slide in the slide groove. With the design of the upper limit bolt, after the spacing is adjusted, the limit bolt can be rotated to make the limit bolt abut against the top plate, which can be easily locked.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a battery module extraction and installation device, which has the following advantages: 1. This battery module extraction and installation device, through the design of the clamping components, can connect the battery module and the top plate and other upper parts into a whole. When extracting and installing, the staff only needs to lift the handle or lift the handle through hoisting work, which can easily pick up the whole unit, improve the practicality of the overall device, and facilitate its widespread use. 2. This battery module extraction and installation device, through the design of the connecting seat and the top plate, allows the connecting seat and the top plate to be aligned when extracting a battery module body of a fixed standard diameter. Subsequently, the threaded hole on the top of the connecting seat is aligned with the positioning hole, and then the two are fixed together with bolts. This facilitates the extraction of battery module bodies of standard diameter. When extracting battery module bodies of different diameters, they can slide in the slide block via the slide rail, which can be easily adjusted according to the actual situation. It is locked with the upper limit bracket and the limit bolt. Then, the operator can pick up the whole device through the handle, thereby improving its convenience. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Example 1: As Figure 1-8As shown, the present invention provides a battery module extraction and installation device, including a battery module body 1. A connecting frame 2 and a slide rail 11 are fixedly installed at the outer edges of both ends of the battery module body 1. A clamping component 4 is provided at the end of the connecting frame 2 away from the battery module body 1.

A slide seat 8 is fixedly installed at the end of the fixing seat 7 away from the fixing plate 5. The slide seat 8 and the slide rail 11 are slidably connected. A top plate 12 is fixedly installed at the end of the slide rail 11 away from the slide seat 8. The clamping assembly 4 includes a fixed sleeve 401, a first fixed frame 405, and a second fixed frame 410. A first limiting frame 403 is fixedly installed on the outer edge of the fixed sleeve 401, and the first limiting frame 403 abuts against the fixed plate 5. A sliding rod 407 is slidably connected on the inner edge of the fixed sleeve 401. A fixed rod 409 is fixedly installed on the end of the sliding rod 407 away from the first fixed frame 405, and a second fixed frame 410 is fixedly installed on the end of the fixed rod 409 away from the first fixed frame 405.

[0023] Specifically, the limiting bracket 403 has a positioning bolt 404 threadedly connected to one end of the fixing bracket 405 to the fixing bracket 410. The positioning bolt 404 passes through the limiting bracket 403 and extends to the inner edge of the fixing plate 5. The advantage is that, through the design of the positioning bolt 404, when the battery module body 1 is clamped by the clamping assembly 4, the limiting bracket 403 can be engaged with the fixing plate 5. Then, by rotating the positioning bolt 404, the clamping assembly 4 and the fixing plate 5 can be locked, and the parts on the fixing plate 5 can be installed later.

[0024] Specifically, a positioning groove 3 is provided through the outer edge of the connecting frame 2. A first abutment 406 is fixedly installed at the end of the fixing bracket 405 away from the fixing sleeve 401. A second abutment 411 is fixedly installed at the end of the fixing rod 409 away from the fixing bracket 405. The first abutment 406 and the second abutment 411 pass through the positioning groove 3 and abut against the connecting frames 2 at both ends of the battery module body 1. The advantage is that, through the design of the positioning groove 3, after the connection with the fixing plate 5 is completed, the first abutment 406 can be inserted into the positioning groove 3 at one end of the connecting frame 2. Then, with the second abutment 411, the other end of the clamping component 4 can be fixed to the connecting frame 2. This makes it easy to connect the battery module body 1, the clamping component 4 and the fixing plate 5 into a whole, which facilitates subsequent extraction and installation.

[0025] Specifically, a limiting hole 402 is provided through the outer wall of the fixed sleeve 401, and a limiting block 408 is elastically connected to the outer edge of the slide rod 407. The limiting hole 402 and the limiting block 408 are the same size. A pin 412 is provided through the outer edge of the fixed sleeve 401. The pin 412 observes the fixed sleeve 401 and extends to the inner surface of the fixed rod 409. The advantage is that the design of the limiting hole 402 allows the slide rod 407 and the fixed rod 409 to slide in the fixed sleeve 401, and then the limiting block 408 abuts against the limiting hole 402, which can play a pre-positioning role. Then, the design of the pin 412 can lock the fixed sleeve 401 and the fixed rod 409, which can prevent them from easily displacing.

[0026] Example 2: Figure 2-8 As shown, this is an improvement on the previous embodiment.

[0027] Specifically, a connecting seat 6 is fixedly installed at the end of the fixing plate 5 away from the battery module body 1, and a positioning hole 14 is provided through the end of the top plate 12 near the connecting seat 6. The advantage is that, through the design of the connecting seat 6 and the top plate 12, when the battery module body 1 of the fixed standard diameter is extracted, the connecting seat 6 and the top plate 12 can be aligned, and then the threaded hole on the top of the connecting seat 6 can be aligned with the positioning hole 14. Then, the two are fixed by bolts, which makes it easy to extract the battery module body 1 of the standard diameter.

[0028] Specifically, the slide rail 11 is adapted to the slide base 8, and a handle 15 is fixedly installed on the end of the top plate 12 away from the battery module body 1. The advantage is that, through the cooperation of the slide rail 11 and the slide base 8, when extracting battery module bodies 1 of different diameters, the slide rail 11 can slide in the slide base 8, which makes it easy to adjust its width according to the actual situation. After the adjustment is completed, the staff can pick up the whole device through the handle 15, thereby improving its convenience.

[0029] Specifically, a sliding groove 13 is provided through the top plate 12. A limit bracket 9 is fixedly installed at the end of the fixed seat 7 away from the fixed plate 5. The limit bracket 9 has a U-shaped cross section. A limit bolt 10 is threadedly connected to the end of the limit bracket 9 away from the fixed seat 7. The limit bracket 9 is slidably connected to the top plate 12 through the sliding groove 13. The limit bolt 10 passes through the limit bracket 9 and abuts against the top plate 12. The advantage is that when the sliding rail 11 and the sliding seat 8 are cooperated, after the adjustment is completed, one end of the limit bracket 9 can be inserted into the sliding groove 13, allowing it to slide in the sliding groove 13. In addition, with the design of the limit bolt 10, after the spacing is adjusted, the limit bolt 10 can be rotated to abut against the top plate 12, which can be easily locked.

[0030] Working principle: During use, the positioning bolt 404 is designed so that when the battery module body 1 is clamped by the clamping assembly 4, the limiting bracket 403 can be engaged with the fixing plate 5. Then, by rotating the positioning bolt 404, the clamping assembly 4 and the fixing plate 5 are locked together, allowing the subsequent installation of parts on the fixing plate 5. Through the design of the positioning groove 3, after the connection with the fixing plate 5 is completed, the abutment 406 can be inserted into the positioning groove 3 at one end of the connecting frame 2, and then cooperate with the abutment 4. 11. The other end of the clamping component 4 can be fixed to the connecting frame 2, which facilitates the connection of the battery module body 1, the clamping component 4, and the fixing plate 5 into a whole, making subsequent extraction and installation easier. The design of the limiting hole 402 allows the sliding rod 407 and the fixing rod 409 to slide within the fixing sleeve 401, subsequently causing the limiting block 408 to abut against the limiting hole 402, achieving a pre-positioning function. Then, the design of the pin 412 allows the fixing sleeve 401 and the fixing rod 409 to be... Locking prevents easy displacement. Through the design of the connecting seat 6 and the top plate 12, when the battery module body 1 of the fixed standard diameter is extracted, the connecting seat 6 and the top plate 12 can be aligned. Then, the threaded hole on the top of the connecting seat 6 is aligned with the positioning hole 14. Then, the two are fixed by bolts, which facilitates the extraction of the battery module body 1 of the standard diameter. Through the cooperation of the slide rail 11 and the slide block 8, when extracting battery module bodies 1 of different diameters, they can slide in the slide block 8 through the slide rail 11, which can be easily adjusted according to the actual situation. After the adjustment is completed, the staff can pick up the whole device through the handle 15, thereby improving its convenience. After the adjustment is completed, through the cooperation of the slide rail 11 and the slide block 8, one end of the limit bracket 9 can be inserted into the slide groove 13, so that it can slide in the slide groove 13. With the design of the upper limit bolt 10, after the spacing is adjusted, the limit bolt 10 can be rotated to make the limit bolt 10 abut against the top plate 12, which can be easily locked.
