[0020] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, further illustrating the present invention.

[0021] First, combine Figures 1-5 This invention describes a new energy module stacking clamping device according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is used for stacking small batches of battery cells and has a wide range of applications.

[0022] like Figures 1-5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a new energy module stacking and clamping device, which includes a frame 100, a support and positioning module, a stacking module, and a clamping and moving module.

[0023] Specifically, such as Figures 1-5As shown, a support and positioning module is mounted on the frame 100 to support and position the lower housing 600 of the battery pack. The support and positioning module includes a support plate 201 and two positioning pins 202. The support plate 201 is mounted on the frame 100 to support the lower housing 600 of the battery pack; the two positioning pins 202 are mounted on the frame 100 and are used to engage with through holes 601 on the lower housing 600 of the battery pack to position the lower housing 600.

[0024] Specifically, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the stacking module is mounted on the frame 100 and located on one side of the support and positioning module, used for stacking battery cell modules 500. The stacking module includes: a stacking platform 301, two limiting strips 302, and a partition plate 303. The stacking platform 301 is mounted on the frame 100; the two limiting strips 302 are located at the front and rear ends of the stacking platform 301; the partition plate 303 is located between the two limiting strips 302. Each of the two limiting strips 302 has a slot 3021, and the partition plate 303 engages with the slots 3021 of the two limiting strips 302. By adjusting the position of the partition plate 303, modules of different sizes can be accommodated. The limiting strips 302 have elongated holes that can be adjusted according to the actual situation on site to improve stacking accuracy. The operation is simple and efficient.

[0025] Specifically, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the clamping and moving module is mounted on the frame 100 and is used to clamp the stacked battery cell modules 500 on the stacking module, move the battery cell modules 500 to the top of the lower housing 600 of the battery pack, and place the battery cell modules 500 onto the lower housing 600 of the battery pack. The clamping and moving module includes: a pair of slide rails 401, a pair of sliders 402, a pair of brackets 403, a first connecting plate 404, two lifting components, and two sponge suction cups 406. The pair of slide rails 401 are located on the top sides of the frame 100; the pair of sliders 402 are slidably connected to the pair of slide rails 401 respectively; the pair of brackets 403 are connected to the pair of sliders 402 respectively; the first connecting plate 404 is adjustablely positioned on top of the pair of brackets 403; the two lifting components are located on both sides of the first connecting plate 404 to provide the driving force for lifting movement; the two sponge suction cups 406 are respectively connected to the output ends of the two lifting components. The system utilizes a pair of slide rails 401 and a pair of sliders 402 to allow movement of a pair of brackets 403, a first connecting plate 404, two lifting components, and two sponge suction cups 406. By controlling the movement of the two lifting components, the two sponge suction cups 406 can be lowered to adsorb the battery cell module 500 on the stacking platform 301.

[0026] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes: a screw jack 4051, a pair of support seats 4052, a transmission rod 4053, a handle 4054, and multiple guide posts 4055. The screw jack 4051 is mounted on the first connecting plate 404, and its output end is connected to one of the sponge suction cups 406; the pair of support seats 4052 are mounted on the first connecting plate 404; one end of the transmission rod 4053 is connected to the pair of support seats 4052 and connected to the input end of the screw jack 4051, and the transmission rod 4053 is rotatably connected to the pair of support seats 4052; the handle 4054 is connected to the other end of the transmission rod 4053; the bottom ends of the multiple guide posts 4055 are connected to one of the sponge suction cups 406 to guide the movement of the sponge suction cup 406, and the top ends of the multiple guide posts 4055 penetrate the first connecting plate 404. Specifically, by rotating the handle 4054, the screw jack 4051 is operated through the transmission rod 4053, thereby realizing the raising and lowering of the sponge suction cup 406.

[0027] Furthermore, a pressure sensor (not shown in the figure) is provided on the sponge suction cup 406 to detect the pressure on the battery cell module 500 and prevent damage to the battery cell module 500.

[0028] Furthermore, the clamping and moving module also includes: a second connecting plate 407 and two clamping and positioning components. The second connecting plate 407 is height-adjustable and mounted on a pair of brackets 403; the two clamping and positioning components are located on both sides of the bottom of the second connecting plate 407; one of the clamping and positioning components includes: a hand-cranked screw slide 4081, a connecting frame 4082, and a pressure plate 4083. The hand-cranked screw slide 4081 is mounted on the second connecting plate 407 and provides the driving force for translational movement; the connecting frame 4082 is located at the output end of the hand-cranked screw slide 4081 and moves under the action of the hand-cranked screw slide 4081; the pressure plate 4083 is connected to the connecting frame 4082. The connecting frame 4082 and the pressure plate 4083 are moved by manually cranking the hand crank screw slide 4081. The pressure plate 4083 presses the cell module 500 on the stacking platform 301 to ensure the spacing between the cell modules 500 and prevent the spacing from being too large to fit into the lower housing 600 of the battery pack.

[0029] Furthermore, the clamping and positioning assembly also includes: a scale line 4084 and a scale needle 4085. The scale line 4084 is disposed on the connecting bracket 4082; the scale needle 4085 is disposed on the second connecting plate 407 and is opposite to the scale line 4084. This is used to precisely adjust the clamping position of the battery cell module 500.

[0030] Furthermore, the clamping and moving module also includes: multiple positioning blocks 409, two lugs 410, and two positioning elements 411. The multiple positioning blocks 409 are disposed on the top sides of the frame 100, and each positioning block 409 has a positioning groove 4091. The two lugs 410 are respectively disposed on a pair of sliders 402, and each lug 410 has a positioning hole 4101. The two positioning elements 411 are respectively inserted into the positioning holes 4101 of the two lugs 410. Specifically, by inserting the two positioning elements 411 into the positioning holes 4101 of the two lugs 410, and then inserting them into the positioning grooves 4091 of the corresponding positioning blocks 409, the positioning of the battery cell module 500 in the gripping position and the positioning of the battery cell module 500 in the placement position are achieved.

[0031] Working principle: Manually retrieve the 500 battery cell modules from the material box and stack them on the anti-theft stacking platform 301, and stack them according to the stacking formula; Once stacking is complete, manually push a pair of brackets 403 to move them so that the two lifting components and the two sponge suction cups 406 are positioned on the stacking platform 301. Then, insert the two positioning pieces 411 into the positioning slots 4091 of the positioning block 409 located on the stacking platform 301 for precise positioning. The lower housing 600 of the battery pack is manually hoisted onto the support plate 201 of the frame 100, and the through hole 601 on the lower housing 600 of the battery pack is penetrated by two positioning pins 202 to achieve precise positioning of the lower housing 600 of the battery pack. The operator manually cranks the handles 4054 of the two lifting components, which in turn drives the screw jack 4051 via the transmission rod 4053, thereby lowering the two sponge suction cups 406 to the gripping position. The connecting frame 4082 and the pressure plate 4083 are moved by manually cranking the hand crank screw slide 4081. The pressure plate 4083 is pressed and positioned toward the battery cell module 500 on the stacking platform 301. Control the operation of two sponge suction cups 406 to adsorb the battery cell module 500. Then, by manually cranking the handles of the two lifting components 4054, the screw lift 4051 is operated through the transmission rod 4053, so that the two sponge suction cups 406 and the adsorbed battery cell module 500 are raised to the appropriate position. Pull up the two positioning pieces 411, move the two sponge suction cups 406 and the adsorbed battery cell module 500 to the top of the lower housing 600 of the battery pack, and perform fine positioning by inserting the two positioning pieces 411 into the positioning grooves 4091 of the positioning block 409 located in the lower housing 600 of the battery pack. Finally, the two lifting components are manually cranked by hand, 4054, which in turn drives the screw lift 4051 through the transmission rod 4053, so that the two sponge suction cups 406 and the adsorbed battery cell module 500 are lowered into the lower housing 600 of the battery pack. Following the steps described above, fill the lower casing 600 of the battery pack with the cell modules 500.
