Description

[0001] This application claims the priority of the Chinese patent application filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on May 30, 2022, with application number 202210604097.1 and application name “A Centering Adjustment Mechanism”, all contents of which are incorporated by reference in this application. Technical Field

[0002] Embodiments of the present application relate to the field of batteries, and more specifically, to a centering adjustment mechanism. Background Art

[0003] As an important power device, batteries have been widely developed and applied in electronic equipment, transportation and other fields, and the development of battery technology has also received increasing attention. In order to enable batteries to support continuous energy supply in daily production and life, multiple battery cells and related components are usually connected together according to different power requirements to provide more power.

[0004] However, when arranging multiple battery cells and related components, it is difficult to align the multiple components with each other, which may easily cause adverse effects in the subsequent assembly process. Summary of the invention

[0005] The embodiment of the present application provides a centering adjustment mechanism, which can perform centering adjustment on battery cells and related components during the arrangement and assembly of battery cells and related components, so that multiple components are aligned with each other, thereby improving the qualified rate of products.

[0006] In a first aspect, a centering adjustment mechanism is provided for centering multiple components, comprising: a connecting rod extending along a first direction; at least two clamping jaws spaced apart on the connecting rod along the first direction; wherein the clamping jaw comprises: a main body extending along a second direction, the first direction being perpendicular to the second direction; a clamping portion spaced apart on the main body along the second direction to form a clamping space, the clamping portion being movable along the second direction to adjust the size of the clamping space in the second direction to achieve centering adjustment of the component.

[0007] The centering adjustment mechanism provided in the embodiment of the present application can adjust the positions of multiple components by setting multiple clamps, so that the center line of each component in the second direction is located on a plane perpendicular to the second direction. During the process of arranging and assembling components of different sizes, multiple components can be aligned with each other, thereby improving the product qualification rate.

[0008] In some embodiments, each of the at least two jaws is used to adjust one component of the plurality of components.

[0009] The centering adjustment mechanism provided in the embodiment of the present application can individually adjust the position of each component among multiple components. When the sizes of the components that need to be centering adjusted in the second direction are not completely the same, not only can the component with the largest size be adjusted, but also multiple components of different sizes can be aligned with each other, thereby improving the product qualification rate.

[0010] In some embodiments, the component includes at least a first component and a second component; at least two of the clamps include a first clamp and a second clamp; the first clamp includes a first clamping portion, the first clamping portion forms a first clamping space, the first component is accommodated in the first clamping space, the first clamping portion is used to adjust the size of the first clamping space according to the first position of the first component to adjust the first clamp and fix the first clamp to a second position, so that the center of the first clamp and the first component in the second direction is located on the first plane, and the first plane is perpendicular to the second direction; the second clamp includes a second clamping portion, the second clamping portion forms a second clamping space, the second component is accommodated in the second clamping space, the second clamping portion is used to adjust the size of the second clamping space to adjust the second component to a third position, so that the center of the second component and the second clamp in the second direction is located on the first plane.

[0011] The centering adjustment mechanism provided in the embodiment of the present application can align the center of the subsequent component with the previous component based on the position of the previous component, and gradually adjust each of the multiple components individually. In the case that the dimensions of the components that need to be centering adjusted in the second direction are not exactly the same, each component can be adjusted, thereby achieving consistency in the centering of multiple components and improving the qualified rate of products.

[0012] In some embodiments, the centering adjustment mechanism further includes: a fixed pressure block, wherein the fixed pressure block is used to fix the first component at the first position.

[0013] The fixed pressure block can be provided to fix the first component, thereby reducing the possibility that the clamping jaw drives the first component to move when the position of the clamping jaw is adjusted according to the first position of the first component, which is beneficial to maintaining the stability of the first component.

[0014] In some embodiments, both ends of the main body in the second direction are respectively provided with extension portions extending along the third direction, and the extension portions are used to connect the main body and the clamping portion.

[0015] The extension part connects the main body and the clamping part so that when the main body and the clamping part are arranged in parallel, it plays a connecting role, which is beneficial for the clamping part to adjust the size of the clamping space in the second direction, thereby realizing the centering adjustment of the component.

[0016] In some embodiments, the centering adjustment mechanism further includes: a push rod, configured to push the second component toward the first component along the first direction after the second component is adjusted to the third position.

[0017] After the components are aligned, the push rod pushes the second component toward the first component, so that the two can fit together. If both are pre-coated with adhesive, it also helps to bond the first component to the second component. At the same time, it can also save the space of the required support plate and improve the space utilization rate of the assembly station.

[0018] In some embodiments, the centering adjustment mechanism further includes: a limiting pressure block, and the limiting pressure block is used to limit the movement of the second component in the third direction.

[0019] During the process of moving the component to adjust its position, the limit pressure block can limit the movement of the component in the third direction, that is, the limit component can reduce the possibility of the component tipping over during the movement in the first direction or the second direction, thereby making the component have a certain stability during the centering adjustment, improving work efficiency and achieving a good centering effect.

[0020] In some embodiments, the fixed pressing block is used to fix the first component in a third direction, and the fixed pressing block is provided with a platform portion, and the platform portion is perpendicular to the third direction.

[0021] The arrangement of the platform portion can increase the force-bearing area on the first component when the fixed pressure block applies pressure to the first component, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the surface of the first component caused by the pressure.

[0022] In some embodiments, the centering adjustment mechanism also includes: a first slide, the first slide extends along the second direction, the clamp is provided with a connecting portion, the first end of the connecting portion is fixedly connected to the clamp, the second end of the connecting portion is connected to the first slide, and the second end can slide along the second direction in the first slide.

[0023] The first slideway can realize the movement of the clamp in the second direction, so that the clamp can be adjusted in the second direction according to the position of the component. In addition, the connection part, the clamp and the connecting rod are fixedly connected and move at the same time, so that the component and the clamp can be directly aligned with the same reference at all times, thereby improving the accuracy of the alignment adjustment and the qualified rate of the product.

[0024] In some embodiments, the first slideway is provided with a first locking mechanism, and the first locking mechanism is used to limit the movement of the clamping jaw on the first slideway.

[0025] After completing the position adjustment of the clamp, the first locking mechanism can fix the position of the clamp on the first slide, so that the clamp is adjusted based on the same reference when adjusting other components in the second direction. In this way, the components can also be adjusted based on the same reference, so that multiple components can be aligned and adjusted to achieve a good alignment effect, thereby improving the product qualification rate.

[0026] In some embodiments, the centering adjustment mechanism further includes: a second slideway, the second slideway extends along the first direction, and the first slideway can slide along the first direction in the second slideway.

[0027] The second slideway can realize the movement of the clamp in the first direction. When multiple components need to be adjusted, the clamp can be flexibly moved along the first direction, thereby realizing the centering adjustment of all components. The second slideway can also make the centering adjustment mechanism suitable for centering adjustment of components of various specifications, thereby reducing production costs.

[0028] In some embodiments, the centering adjustment mechanism further includes: a bracket, wherein the bracket is used to support the second slideway.

[0029] The bracket can fix the second slideway at a corresponding position on the assembly station, so that the clamping claw can move within a preset range, thereby realizing automated production of centering adjustment, saving manpower input, and improving production efficiency.

[0030] In some embodiments, the second slide is provided with a second locking mechanism, and the second locking mechanism is used to limit the movement of the first slide on the second slide.

[0031] The restriction of the movement of the clamping jaw in the first direction by the second locking mechanism can make the clamping jaw in a suitable position to adjust the assembly center, thereby reducing the possibility of misalignment between the clamping jaw and the assembly resulting in failure to adjust the assembly correctly. This can improve the accuracy of the clamping jaw's adjustment of the assembly center, thereby improving the qualified rate of the product.

[0032] In some embodiments, the distance between the first jaw and the second jaw is 5-10 mm.

[0033] The appropriate distance can not only save the space required for placing components, but also prevent adjacent components from sticking together before being adjusted due to factors such as placement errors. It is beneficial to the centering adjustment of the components, so that the center line of each component in the second direction is located on a plane perpendicular to the second direction, thereby achieving a good centering effect and improving the product qualification rate.

[0034] In some embodiments, the maximum distance that the clamping portion moves along the second direction is 5-10 mm.

[0035] The appropriate distance can ensure that the sizes of most components can be accommodated in the clamping space, while not requiring the clamping part to move too long a distance to achieve the centering adjustment of the component. This makes the centering adjustment mechanism provided in the embodiment of the present application applicable to components of various sizes, achieving good centering effect while improving production efficiency.

[0036] In some embodiments, the first clamp includes a first main body, the first main body is provided with a third slide extending along the second direction, the fixed pressure block is connected to the third slide, and the fixed pressure block can slide along the third slide.

[0037] The fixed pressure block is connected to the first main body through the third slide, which can apply pressure to the first component more accurately, thereby fixing the first component in the first position, so that the centering adjustment mechanism can center the component with a fixed reference to achieve a good centering effect.

For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0048] In the embodiments of the present application, the same reference numerals represent the same components, and for the sake of brevity, detailed descriptions of the same components are omitted in different embodiments. It should be understood that the thickness, length, width and other dimensions of various components in the embodiments of the present application shown in the drawings, as well as the overall thickness, length, width and other dimensions of the integrated device are only exemplary descriptions and should not constitute any limitation to the present application.

[0049] The battery mentioned in the embodiments of the present application refers to a single physical module including one or more battery cells to provide higher voltage and capacity. For example, the battery mentioned in the present application may include a battery module or a battery pack. The battery generally includes a box for encapsulating one or more battery cells. The box can reduce the possibility of liquid or other foreign matter affecting the charging or discharging of the battery cells.

[0050] In the present application, battery cells may include lithium-ion secondary batteries, lithium-ion primary batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, sodium-lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries or magnesium-ion batteries, etc., and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Battery cells may be cylindrical, flat, rectangular or other shapes, etc., and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Battery cells are generally divided into three types according to the packaging method: cylindrical battery cells, square battery cells and soft-pack battery cells, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0051] In order to meet different power requirements, the battery may include multiple battery cells, wherein the multiple battery cells may be connected in series, in parallel, or in a hybrid connection, wherein the hybrid connection refers to a mixture of series and parallel connections. Optionally, multiple battery cells may be connected in series, in parallel, or in a hybrid connection to form a battery module, and multiple battery modules may be connected in series, in parallel, or in a hybrid connection to form a battery. In other words, multiple battery cells may be directly formed into a battery, or may be first formed into a battery module, and the battery module may then be formed into a battery. The battery is further disposed in an electrical device to provide electrical energy to the electrical device.

[0052] When multiple battery cells are arranged, they are often arranged together with some related components. For example, battery cells can be arranged together with end plates, thermal insulation pads, buffer pads and other components in a certain order. In order to facilitate the subsequent assembly and fixation of the components, it is necessary to align these components including the battery cells, that is, adjust the center lines of the arranged components to a straight line.

[0053] Considering that the sizes of these components may be different, and due to problems such as errors in the production process, the widths of the same type of components themselves are not exactly the same, if all components are adjusted simultaneously in the width direction through the adjustment plate, the adjustment plate can only contact the widest component, and the centers of components of other widths cannot be made to be on the same straight line.

[0054] In view of this, the present application provides a centering adjustment mechanism, which arranges a plurality of clamps at intervals in the direction of component arrangement, and each clamp can independently adjust the centering of each component in the width direction, so that the center lines of each component in the width direction are on the same straight line. The direction of component arrangement is perpendicular to the width direction of the component.

[0055] Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of a battery 10 according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. The battery 10 may include at least one battery module 200. The battery module 200 includes a plurality of battery cells 20. The battery 10 may also include a box 11, the inside of the box 11 is a hollow structure, and the plurality of battery cells 20 are accommodated in the box 11. Figure 1 A possible implementation of the box 11 of the embodiment of the present application is shown, such as Figure 1As shown, the box 11 may include two parts, which are respectively referred to as a first box part 111 and a second box part 112, and the first box part 111 and the second box part 112 are buckled together. The shapes of the first box part 111 and the second box part 112 may be determined according to the shape of the battery module 200 combination, and at least one of the first box part 111 and the second box part 112 has an opening. For example, Figure 1 As shown, the first box body part 111 and the second box body part 112 can both be hollow rectangular parallelepipeds and each has only one open face, the opening of the first box body part 111 and the opening of the second box body part 112 are arranged opposite to each other, and the first box body part 111 and the second box body part 112 are interlocked to form a box body 11 with a closed chamber.

[0056] For example, different from Figure 1 As shown, only one of the first box body part 111 and the second box body part 112 may be a hollow cuboid with an opening, while the other may be a plate-shaped body to cover the opening. For example, here, the second box body part 112 is a hollow cuboid with only one face as an opening face, and the first box body part 111 is a plate-shaped body. Then, the first box body part 111 covers the opening of the second box body part 112 to form a box body 11 with a closed chamber, which can be used to accommodate multiple battery cells 20. Multiple battery cells 20 are connected in parallel, in series, or in a mixed combination and placed in the box body 11 formed by the first box body part 111 and the second box body part 112 being buckled together.

[0057] Optionally, the battery 10 may also include other structures, which are not described one by one here. For example, the battery 10 may also include a busbar, which is used to realize the electrical connection between multiple battery cells 20, such as parallel connection, series connection or mixed connection. Specifically, the busbar can realize the electrical connection between the battery cells 20 by connecting the electrode terminals of the battery cells 20. Further, the busbar can be fixed to the electrode terminals of the battery cells 20 by welding. The electrical energy of multiple battery cells 20 can be further led out through the box 11 through the conductive mechanism.

[0058] According to different power requirements, the number of battery cells 20 in the battery module 200 can be set to any value. Multiple battery cells 20 can be connected in series, parallel or mixed to achieve a larger capacity or power. Since the number of battery cells 20 included in each battery 10 may be large, in order to facilitate installation, the battery cells 20 are grouped and each group of battery cells 20 constitutes a battery module 200. The number of battery cells 20 included in the battery module 200 is not limited and can be set according to demand.

[0059] The battery 10 may include a plurality of battery modules 200 , and the battery modules 200 may be connected in series, in parallel, or in a mixed manner.

[0060] In order to achieve the centering adjustment of multiple components 33 inside the battery during the battery assembly process, the embodiment of the present application provides a centering adjustment mechanism for centering the multiple components 33, such as Figure 2 As shown, the centering adjustment mechanism includes a connecting rod 31 and at least two clamping jaws 32 .

[0061] The connecting rod 31 is extended along the first direction L; at least two clamping jaws 32 are spaced apart on the connecting rod 31 along the first direction L; wherein the clamping jaw 32 includes: a main body 323, the main body 323 extends along the second direction W, and the first direction L is perpendicular to the second direction W; a clamping portion 324, spaced apart on the main body 323 along the second direction W to form a clamping space, and the clamping portion 324 can move along the second direction W to adjust the size of the clamping space in the second direction W to achieve centering adjustment of the component 33.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present application, centering adjustment refers to adjusting the positions of multiple components 33 in the second direction W so that the center line of each component 33 in the second direction W is located on a plane perpendicular to the second direction W, or in other words, the surface of each component 33 passing through the center of the component 33 and perpendicular to the second direction W is located on the same plane.

[0063] The connecting rod 31 is a component that connects at least two clamping jaws 32, and the two clamping jaws 32 can be fixedly connected to the connecting rod 31. In other words, the clamping jaws 32 and the fixed rod will not move relative to each other, and the clamping jaws 32 will not move relative to each other. The connecting rod 31 extending along the first direction L means that the connecting rod 31 can connect at least two clamping jaws 32 in the first direction L, and the connecting rod 31 can be a straight rod extending along the first direction L, or a rod of other shapes, for example, the connecting rod 31 can be in a cross shape between the two clamping jaws 32. As long as the connecting rod 31 can connect multiple clamping jaws 32 in the first direction L, it can be considered as a connecting rod 31 extending along the first direction L. Figure 2 Only the case where the connecting rod 31 is a straight rod extending along the first direction L is shown.

[0064] When multiple clamps 32 are arranged along the first direction L, there is a certain gap between adjacent clamps 32, and the size of the gap matches the size of the gap between adjacent components 33 when the components 33 to be centered are arranged along the first direction L. Before the component 33 is adjusted for centering, the surface with the largest area on the component 33 will be coated with glue so that the subsequent components 33 can be bonded through the glue-coated surface. When multiple components 33 are arranged in sequence, the glue-coated surface of the component 33 is usually perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the component 33, that is, the glue-coated surface of the component 33 is perpendicular to the first direction L. Therefore, in the process of centering two adjacent components 33, it is necessary to keep a certain gap between the two components 33 to reduce the possibility that the two are stuck and cannot be adjusted. In order to adjust the position of each component 33 individually, each component 33 corresponds to a clamp 32, and there is also a matching gap between adjacent clamps 32 to accurately adjust the component 33 for centering. Figure 2 Only the case where two clamps 32 are provided on the connecting rod 31 is shown. When more than two clamps 32 are provided on the connecting rod 31 and more than two components 33 can be aligned and adjusted at the same time, the spacing between adjacent components 33 can be equal, and correspondingly, the spacing between adjacent clamps 32 can also be equal.

[0065] The clamping jaw 32 includes a main body portion 323 and a clamping portion 324. Figure 2 As shown. Figure 2 For example, the main body 323 refers to the part of the clamp 32 that is relatively fixed to the connecting rod 31, and the clamping part 324 refers to the part of the clamp 32 that can move relative to the main body 323 along the second direction W. For example, the main body 323 can be a cross bar extending along the second direction W, and the clamping part 324 can extend along the third direction H at both ends of the main body 323. In this case, the main body 323 can be provided with a slideway in the second direction W, so that the clamping part 324 can move along the second direction W. For another example, the main body 323 can be as follows Figure 2 The bent shape shown, that is, the main body 323 has a cross bar extending along the second direction W, and straight bars extending along the third direction H are arranged at both ends of the cross bar along the second direction W, and a clamping portion 324 that can move along the second direction W is arranged on the straight bar. The first direction L, the second direction W and the third direction H are perpendicular to each other.

[0066] The clamping parts 324 are arranged on the main body 323 at intervals along the second direction W, and the intervals between the clamping parts 324 can form a clamping space, and the size of the clamping space changes with the movement of the clamping parts 324 in the second direction W. In the case where the components 33 are arranged along the first direction L, the centering adjustment mechanism usually needs to adjust the position of the components 33 in the second direction W. When the clamping parts 324 are symmetrically arranged on the main body 323 in the second direction W and move relatively the same distance at the same time, the symmetry axis of the clamping space in the second direction W is always in the same plane as the symmetry axis of the clamping jaw 32 in the second direction W. When the distance of the clamping space in the second direction W is equal to the length of the component 33 in the second direction W, the center of the component 33 in the second direction W is in the same plane as the symmetry axis of the clamping jaw 32 in the second direction W, and the plane is perpendicular to the second direction W. Then the center of the component 33 can be adjusted based on the center of the clamping jaw 32. Similarly, other components 33 arranged along the first direction L can be adjusted in the same way to achieve centering adjustment of multiple components 33.

[0067] The centering adjustment mechanism provided in the embodiment of the present application can adjust the position of each component 33 individually by setting a plurality of clamps 32. When the dimensions of the components 33 that need to be centering adjusted in the second direction W are not completely the same, not only the component 33 with the largest dimension can be adjusted, but also the components 33 of different dimensions can be adjusted, so that the center line of each component 33 in the second direction W is located on a plane perpendicular to the second direction W. In the process of arranging and assembling the battery cells and related components 33, a good centering effect can be achieved, thereby improving the qualified rate of the product.

[0068] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, each of the at least two clamping jaws 32 is used to adjust one component 33 among the plurality of components 33 .

[0069] During the process of the clamping jaws 32 in the centering adjustment mechanism centering the components 33, when the clamping jaws 32 are located at a certain position in the first direction L, each of the at least two clamping jaws 32 only adjusts one component 33 corresponding to the position. When the clamping jaws 32 move to the next position along the first direction L, each clamping jaw 32 adjusts another component 33 corresponding to the next position. In other words, each clamping jaw 32 only adjusts one component 33 at a time.

[0070] The centering adjustment mechanism provided in the embodiment of the present application is capable of individually adjusting the position of each component 33 among multiple components 33. When the dimensions of the components 33 that need to be centering adjusted in the second direction W are not completely the same, not only the component 33 with the largest dimension can be adjusted, but also the components 33 of different dimensions can be adjusted, thereby achieving a good centering effect and improving the qualified rate of the product.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the component 33 includes at least a first component 331 and a second component 332. The at least two clamps 32 include a first clamp 321 and a second clamp 322. The first clamp 321 includes a first clamping portion 3241, the first clamping portion 3241 forms a first clamping space, the first component 331 is accommodated in the first clamping space, and the first clamping portion 3241 is used to adjust the size of the first clamping space according to the first position of the first component 331 to adjust the first clamp 321 and fix the first clamp 321 to the second position, so that the center of the first clamp 321 and the first component 331 in the second direction W is located on the first surface, and the first surface is perpendicular to the second direction W. The second clamping jaw 322 includes a second clamping portion 3242, which forms a second clamping space. The second component 332 is accommodated in the second clamping space. The second clamping portion 3242 is used to adjust the size of the second clamping space to adjust the second component 332 to a third position, so that the center of the second component 332 and the second clamping jaw 322 in the second direction W is located on the first surface.

[0072] The component 33 that needs to be aligned and adjusted may be, for example, an end plate, a battery cell, a thermal insulation pad, a buffer pad, etc. The embodiment of the present application only takes the first component 331 and the second component 332 of the multiple components 33 as examples for description.

[0073] The at least two clamping jaws 32 in the centering adjustment mechanism may include a first clamping jaw 321 and a second clamping jaw 322. The first clamping jaw 321 may correspond to the first component 331, and the second clamping jaw 322 may correspond to the second component 332. Figure 3 As shown, during the process of centering the first component 331 and the second component 332 , the first component 331 is accommodated in the first space formed by the first clamping portion 3241 , and the second component 332 is accommodated in the second space formed by the second clamping portion 3242 .

[0074] In a possible embodiment, the first clamping portion 3241 and the second clamping portion 3242 both move toward the component 33 in the second direction W until the length of the first clamping space in the second direction W is equal to the length of the first component 331 in the second direction W, and the length of the second clamping space in the second direction W is equal to the length of the second component 332 in the second direction W, that is, the first clamping portion 3241 and the second clamping portion 3242 move to a position where they can no longer move toward the component 33 in the second direction W, then the centers of the first clamping jaw 321 and the first component 331 in the second direction W are located on the same plane, which is perpendicular to the second direction W; the centers of the second clamping jaw 322 and the second component 332 in the second direction W are also located on the same plane, which is also perpendicular to the second direction W. Since the main body 323 of the first clamping jaw 321, the main body 323 of the second clamping jaw 322 and the connecting rod 31 are fixedly connected, the symmetry axes of the first clamping jaw 321 and the second clamping jaw 322 in the second direction W coincide. That is to say, the centers of the first clamp 321 , the second clamp 322 , the first component 331 and the second component 332 in the second direction W are all located on the same plane, which is the first surface, wherein the first surface is perpendicular to the second direction W.

[0075] In this embodiment, the clamping jaw 32 and the connecting rod 31 can be kept at a fixed position in the second direction W, and the position of the component 33 can be adjusted only by the movement of the clamping portion 324 to achieve the centering adjustment of multiple components 33; when aligning the first and second components 33 among the multiple components 33, the position of the component 33 and the clamping jaw 32 can be adjusted simultaneously by the movement of the clamping portion 324, and when the clamping portions 324 of the first clamping jaw 321 and the second clamping jaw 322 no longer move, the main body 323 of the clamping jaw 32 and the connecting rod 31 are fixed in the second direction W, and then the clamping portion 324 is controlled to move away from the component 33 in the second direction W, that is, the component 33 is released, and the connecting rod 31 and the clamping jaw 32 move together along the first direction L to the positions corresponding to the third and fourth components 33, and the positions of the third and fourth components 33 can be adjusted only by the movement of the clamping portion 324 to achieve the centering adjustment of multiple components 33.

[0076] In another possible implementation, the first component 331 can be fixed at the first position, and the positions of the clamping jaw 32 and the connecting rod 31 can be adjusted by the movement of the first clamping portion 3241 toward the component 33 in the second direction W. When the first clamping portion 3241 no longer moves, the first clamping jaw 321 moves to the second position and is fixed at the second position. Since the clamping jaw 32 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 31, the second clamping jaw 322 is also moved and fixed at the second position. The second clamping portion 3242 moves toward the component 33 in the second direction W, and the second component 332 is adjusted to the third position by the movement of the second clamping portion 3242.

[0077] In this embodiment, the first component 331 will not be moved, but the position of the first clamping jaw 321 is adjusted based on the first position of the first component 331, and the first clamping jaw 321 is fixedly connected to the second clamping jaw 322 by the connecting rod 31, so the position of the second clamping jaw 322 is consistent with the position of the first clamping jaw 321, and then the position of the second component 332 is adjusted based on the second position of the second clamping jaw 322, so that the third position of the second component 332 can correspond to the first position of the first component 331, that is, the center of the second component 332 in the second direction W is aligned with the center of the first component 331 in the second direction W. Similarly, when the next component 33 is adjusted for centering, the first clamping jaw 321 moves to the position of the second component 332, and the position of the clamping jaw 32 is adjusted based on the position of the second component 332, and then the position of the next component 33 is adjusted based on the position of the clamping jaw 32.

[0078] When the centering adjustment mechanism is provided with more than two clamping jaws 32, the centering adjustment can be performed on more than two components 33 at the same time. For example, the clamping jaws 32 can be fixed in the second direction W, and the centering adjustment of the components 33 can be performed by using more than two clamping jaws 32 at the same time; or the position of the clamping jaw 32 can be adjusted according to the position of the first component 33 of the more than two components 33, and then the positions of other components 33 can be adjusted according to the position of the clamping jaw 32.

[0079] The centering adjustment mechanism provided in the embodiment of the present application can align the center of the subsequent component 33 with the previous component 33 based on the position of the previous component 33, and gradually adjust each component 33 of the multiple components 33 individually. When the dimensions of the components 33 that need to be centering adjusted in the second direction W are not completely the same, each component 33 can be adjusted, thereby achieving consistency in the centering of multiple components 33 and improving the qualified rate of products.

[0080] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the centering adjustment mechanism further includes: a fixed pressing block 34, and the fixed pressing block 34 is used to fix the first component 331 at the first position.

[0081] In the embodiment where the position of the clamping jaw 32 is adjusted based on the first position of the first component 331, and the position of the second component 332 is adjusted based on the position of the clamping jaw 32, there are multiple ways to fix the first component 331 at the first position. For example, a limiting structure can be provided on the support plate 35 on which the component 33 is placed to limit the movement of the first component 331 in the second direction W; or a clamp can be provided in the second direction W to limit the movement of the first component 331 in the second direction W. In one embodiment, a fixed pressing block 34 can be provided in the centering adjustment mechanism to fix the first component 331 at the first position.

[0082] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the fixed pressure block 34 can apply a certain pressure to the first component 331 in the third direction H, so that when the first component 331 is subjected to the force in the second direction W, it can generate a sufficiently large friction force to reduce the possibility of the first component 331 moving in the second direction W.

[0083] The fixed pressure block 34 may be a structure that is not connected to the clamp 32, that is, the fixed pressure block 34 may be connected to a device such as a hydraulic press that can provide pressure to apply pressure to the first component 331. The fixed pressure block 34 may also be connected to the clamp 32, for example, it may be connected to the main body 323 of the clamp 32. In this case, the fixed pressure block 34 and the clamp 32 can move relative to each other. That is, when the fixed pressure block 34 fixes the first component 331 in the first position, the fixed pressure block 34 and the first component 331 do not move when subjected to other forces, the first clamp 321 adjusts the position of the clamp 32 based on the first position of the first component 331, and the first clamp 321 moves relative to the fixed pressure block 34 in the second direction W.

[0084] The fixed pressing block 34 can fix the first component 331 , reduce the possibility that the clamp 32 drives the first component 331 to move when the position of the clamp 32 is adjusted according to the first position of the first component 331 , and is conducive to maintaining the stability of the first component 331 .

[0085] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, both ends of the main body 323 in the second direction W are respectively provided with extension portions 325 extending along the third direction H, and the extension portions 325 are used to connect the main body 323 and the clamping portion 324 .

[0086] An extension portion 325 may be provided between the clamping portion 324 and the main body portion 323 for connection. For example, when the clamping portion 324 and the main body portion 323 are parallel to the second direction W, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, an extension portion 325 extending along the third direction H may be provided between the two, one end of the extension portion 325 being connected to the main body portion 323, and the other end being connected to the clamping portion 324. The extension portion 325 may also be provided with a channel so that the clamping portion 324 can move along the second direction W while being connected to the extension portion 325. In some embodiments, the first clamping jaw 321 may include a first extension portion 3251, and the second clamping jaw 322 may include a second extension portion 3252, such as Figure 5 shown.

[0087] The extension portion 325 connects the main body portion 323 and the clamping portion 324 so that the main body portion 323 and the clamping portion 324 are arranged in parallel, thereby playing a connecting role, which is beneficial for the clamping portion 324 to adjust the size of the clamping space in the second direction W, thereby achieving centering adjustment of the component 33.

[0088] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the centering adjustment mechanism further includes: a push rod 36, and the push rod 36 is used to push the second component 332 along the first direction L toward the first component 331 after the second component 332 is adjusted to the third position.

[0089] The push rod 36 may be disposed along the first direction L, and when moving in the first direction L, may push the component 33 so that the component 33 moves in the first direction L.

[0090] Before the centering adjustment mechanism performs centering adjustment on the components 33, the components 33 can be placed on the support plate 35. For example, the components 33 can be arranged in sequence along the first direction L using a clamp or other device. In the process of centering adjustment on a group of components 33, the number of components 33 placed for the first time is equal to the number of clamps 32. For example, a group of components 33 includes ten components 33, and two clamps 32 are connected to the connecting rod 31 of the centering adjustment mechanism. Then, when the components 33 are placed on the support plate 35 for the first time, only two components 33 are placed, for example, the first component 331 and the second component 332. Figure 3 For example, after the clamp 32 adjusts the first component 331 and the second component 332 to a suitable position in the second direction W, the push rod 36 pushes the second component 332 toward the first component 331 along the first direction L, so that the second component 332 can move toward the first component 331 in the first direction L until the second component 332 fits with the first component 331. Then the push rod 36 can move in a direction away from the second component 332 to leave space for the third component 33. When the third component 33 completes the centering adjustment, the push rod 36 can push the third component 33 toward the second component 332 along the first direction L, so that the third component 33 can fit with the second component 332.

[0091] In a possible implementation, the first component 331 can be fixed at the first position by the fixed pressing block 34, and when the second component 332 can no longer move in the direction toward the first component 331, the push rod 36 stops pushing the second component 332. When the component 33 is placed on the support plate 35, the surface of the component 33 perpendicular to the first direction L is coated with an adhesive, such as glue, so that the second component 332 and the first component 331 can be adhered when they are attached, so that the two can be bonded.

[0092] After the assembly 33 is aligned, the push rod 36 pushes the second assembly 332 toward the first assembly 331, so that the two can fit together. If both are pre-coated with adhesive, it also helps to bond the first assembly 331 to the second assembly 332. At the same time, this can also save the space of the required support plate 35 and improve the space utilization rate of the assembly station.

[0093] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the centering adjustment mechanism further includes: a limiting pressure block 37, and the limiting pressure block 37 is used to limit the movement of the second component 332 in the third direction H.

[0094] The limiting pressure block 37 can be a structure that is not connected to the clamp 32, for example, it can be connected to a device such as a hydraulic press that can provide pressure; the limiting pressure block 37 can also be connected to the clamp 32, for example, connected to the main body 323 of the second clamp 322. Figure 3 Only the connection between the limiting pressing block 37 and the second clamping jaw 322 is shown. Figure 3 As shown, the limiting pressure block 37 can extend along the third direction H and apply a certain pressure to the second component 332 in the third direction H. In the case where some components 33, such as battery cells, have bulges at the bottom, the pressure can eliminate the bulges. The limiting pressure block 37 is used to limit the movement of the second component 332 in the third direction H, that is, the pressure applied by the limiting pressure block 37 will not affect the movement of the second component 332 in the first direction L and the second direction W. The movement of the second component 332 in the third direction H can be understood as when the second component 332 moves in the first direction L or the second direction W, it may tip over due to uneven force. During the tipping process, there will be a component in the third direction H, which can be regarded as the movement of the second component 332 in the third direction H.

[0095] In a possible implementation, the limiting pressure block 37 only contacts the surface of the second component 332, and the pressure applied is 0; or, there may be a certain distance between the limiting pressure block 37 and the surface of the second component 332, and the movement of the second component 332 in the third direction H can be limited so as not to tip over. In this way, the friction force of the second component 332 when moving in the first direction L and the second direction W is not increased, and the possibility of tipping over of the second component 332 can be reduced.

[0096] One end of the limiting pressure block 37 in contact with the second component 332 may be provided with a platform extending along the first direction L and the second direction W, so that the second component 332 can be restricted by the platform during movement in the first direction L and the second direction W to reduce the possibility of tipping over.

[0097] During the process of component 33 moving to adjust its position, the limit pressure block 37 can limit the movement of component 33 in the third direction H, that is, the limit component 33 can reduce the possibility of component 33 tipping over during the movement in the first direction L or the second direction W, thereby making component 33 have a certain stability during the centering adjustment, improving work efficiency and achieving a good centering effect.

[0098] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the fixed pressing block 34 is used to fix the first component 331 in the third direction H, and the fixed pressing block 34 is provided with a platform portion, and the platform portion is perpendicular to the third direction H.

[0099] The fixed pressing block 34 can apply pressure to the first component 331 in the third direction H to fix the first component 331 in the first position, and at least a portion of the fixed pressing block 34 extends along the third direction H, and a platform portion is provided at one end in contact with the first component 331. The cross section of the platform portion along a plane perpendicular to the third direction H can be of any shape.

[0100] The arrangement of the platform portion can increase the force-bearing area of ​​the first component 331 when the fixed pressure block 34 applies pressure to the first component 331 , thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the surface of the first component 331 caused by the pressure.

[0101] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the centering adjustment mechanism also includes: a first slide 38, the first slide 38 extends along the second direction W, the clamp 32 is provided with a connecting portion 41, the first end 411 of the connecting portion 41 is fixedly connected to the clamp 32, the second end 412 of the connecting portion 41 is connected to the first slide 38, and the second end 412 can slide along the second direction W in the first slide 38.

[0102] like Figure 4 As shown, the clamping jaw 32 can be connected to the first slideway 38 to achieve movement in the second direction W, wherein the clamping jaw 32 is connected to the first slideway 38 via a connecting portion 41. Since the connecting portion 41, the clamping jaw 32 and the connecting rod 31 are all fixedly connected, the connecting portion 41 can be provided on any clamping jaw 32, and can also be provided on the connecting rod 31.

[0103] The connecting portion 41 extends along the third direction H, and one end of the connecting portion 41, namely the first end 411, is fixedly connected to the clamping jaw 32, so that when the connecting rod 31 moves in the second direction W, the clamping jaw 32 and the connecting rod 31 can be driven to move together in the second direction W; the other end of the connecting portion 41, namely the second end 412, is connected to the first slide 38, so that the connecting portion 41 can move in the first slide 38 along the second direction W. The first slide 38 may have a cavity for accommodating the second end 412, and the second end 412 may be provided with a platform, which is accommodated in the cavity of the first slide 38 and can be stuck in the slide in the third direction H, so that the connecting portion 41 will not be separated from the slide when it moves in the second direction W.

[0104] The first slideway 38 can realize the movement of the clamping jaw 32 in the second direction W, so that the clamping jaw 32 can be adjusted in the second direction W according to the position of the component 33. In addition, the connecting portion 41, the clamping jaw 32 and the connecting rod 31 are fixedly connected and move at the same time, so that the component 33 and the clamping jaw 32 can be directly aligned with the same reference all the time, thereby improving the accuracy of the alignment adjustment and improving the qualified rate of the product.

[0105] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the first slideway 38 is provided with a first locking mechanism, and the first locking mechanism is used to limit the movement of the clamping jaw 32 on the first slideway 38 .

[0106] The first locking mechanism may be disposed in the first slideway 38 to fix the clamping jaw 32 after the clamping jaw 32 moves to a suitable position, thereby limiting the movement of the clamping jaw 32 in the second direction W. For example, after the first clamping jaw 321 adjusts the clamping jaw 32 to the second position according to the first position of the first component 331 , the second end 412 of the connecting portion 41 may be fixed in the first slideway 38 by the first locking mechanism, and the clamping jaw 32 will no longer move in the second direction W during the subsequent centering adjustment process.

[0107] After completing the position adjustment of the clamp 32, the first locking mechanism can fix the position of the clamp 32 on the first slide 38, so that the clamp 32 is adjusted based on the same reference when adjusting other components 33 in the second direction W. In this way, the components 33 can also be adjusted based on the same reference, so that multiple components 33 can be centered and adjusted to achieve a good centering effect, thereby improving the product qualification rate.

[0108] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the centering adjustment mechanism further includes: a second slide 39 , the second slide 39 extends along the first direction L, and the first slide 38 can slide along the first direction L in the second slide 39 .

[0109] In order to enable the centering adjustment mechanism to adjust multiple components 33 arranged along the first direction L, when the number of jaws 32 is less than the number of a group of components 33, a second slide 39 extending along the first direction L can be provided, so that the jaws 32 can first adjust a part of the components 33, and then move along the first direction L to the position of the unadjusted components 33 to continue to adjust other components 33.

[0110] like Figure 4 As shown, the second slideway 39 can be arranged in the first slideway 38 along the first direction L, and the first slideway 38 can move along the second slideway 39 in the first direction L. The second slideway 39 can also be set to a structure similar to the first slideway 38, that is, the first slideway 38 is connected to the second slideway 39 through a connecting structure, and the connecting structure can slide in the second slideway 39 along the first direction L to drive the first slideway 38 to slide in the first direction L.

[0111] The second slideway 39 can realize the movement of the clamping jaw 32 in the first direction L. When multiple components 33 need to be centered, the clamping jaw 32 can be flexibly moved along the first direction L, thereby realizing the centered adjustment of all components 33. The second slideway 39 can also make the centered adjustment mechanism applicable to the centered adjustment of components 33 of various specifications, thereby reducing the production cost.

[0112] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the centering adjustment mechanism further includes: a bracket 40 , and the bracket 40 is used to support the second slideway 39 .

[0113] The bracket 40 may be a part fixed relative to the assembly station, and the bracket 40 may generally provide support for the mechanical structure. In the embodiment of the present application, the second slideway 39 is fixedly connected to the bracket 40 , and the bracket 40 provides support for the second slideway 39 .

[0114] The bracket 40 can fix the second slide 39 at a corresponding position on the assembly station, so that the clamping jaw 32 can move within a preset range, thereby realizing automated production of centering adjustment, saving manpower input, and improving production efficiency.

[0115] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the second slide 39 is provided with a second locking mechanism, and the second locking mechanism is used to limit the movement of the first slide 38 on the second slide 39 .

[0116] Similar to the first slide 38, a locking mechanism, i.e., a second locking mechanism, can also be provided on the second slide 39. The second locking mechanism can limit the movement of the first slide 38 in the first direction L, that is, limit the movement of the clamp 32 in the first direction L. When the clamp 32 performs centering adjustment on a part of the assembly 33 and needs to perform centering adjustment on another part of the assembly 33, the first slide 38 can be controlled to move along the first direction L on the second slide 39. When the first slide 38 moves to a suitable position, the second locking mechanism can fix the first slide 38, i.e., limit the movement of the first slide 38 in the first direction L, so that the clamp 32 can perform centering adjustment on the assembly 33 in the second direction W.

[0117] The restriction of the movement of the clamping jaw 32 in the first direction L by the second locking mechanism can make the clamping jaw 32 in a suitable position to adjust the assembly 33, thereby reducing the possibility of misalignment between the clamping jaw 32 and the assembly 33, which leads to failure to correctly adjust the assembly 33. The accuracy of the centering adjustment of the clamping jaw 32 to the assembly 33 can be improved, thereby improving the qualified rate of the product.

[0118] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the distance between the first clamping jaw 321 and the second clamping jaw 322 is 5-10 mm.

[0119] There is a certain gap between the first clamping jaw 321 and the second clamping jaw 322, and the gap is also the gap between the adjacent components 33 placed on the support plate 35 before being adjusted. This gap can reduce the possibility of the components 33 being bonded before being adjusted to the appropriate position, and the centering adjustment can no longer be performed. If the gap is too small, when the components 33 are placed on the support plate 35, the adjacent components 33 are easily directly bonded together, making it difficult to adjust the position; if the gap is too large, the centering adjustment mechanism will be larger in size and occupy more space. When the push rod 36 pushes the component 33, the distance that the component 33 needs to move is also longer, which takes more time, which is not conducive to improving production efficiency.

[0120] The appropriate distance can not only save the space required for placing the components 33, but also prevent adjacent components 33 from sticking together before being adjusted due to factors such as placement errors, which is beneficial to the centering adjustment of the components 33, so that the center line of each component 33 in the second direction W is located on a plane perpendicular to the second direction W, thereby achieving a good centering effect and improving the product qualification rate.

[0121] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the maximum distance that the clamping portion 324 moves along the second direction W is 5-10 mm.

[0122] The distance that the clamping portion 324 moves along the second direction W refers to the distance that one clamping portion 324 among the plurality of clamping portions 324 spaced apart along the second direction W moves from the farthest end to the closest end of the distance component 33 in the second direction W. Figure 5 For example, Figure 5 (a) in the figure shows a schematic diagram of the clamping portion 324 moving to the farthest end from the component 33. Figure 5 (b) in the figure shows a schematic diagram of the clamping portion 324 moving to the nearest end of the distance component 33 , wherein the movable distance K is the maximum distance that the clamping portion 324 can move along the second direction W.

[0123] If the maximum distance is too small, the accommodation space formed between the clamping parts 324 will be small. If there is a slight error between the position where the component 33 is placed and the starting position of the clamping jaws 32, when the clamping jaws 32 are moved to the position corresponding to the component 33, it is easy to interfere with the component 33. If the maximum distance is too large, the clamping parts 324 need to move a longer distance in the second direction W to complete the adjustment of the component 33, which will take longer time and is not conducive to improving work efficiency.

[0124] The appropriate distance can ensure that the dimensions of most components 33 can be accommodated in the clamping space, while not requiring the clamping portion 324 to move too long a distance to achieve centering adjustment of the component 33. This makes the centering adjustment mechanism provided in the embodiment of the present application applicable to components 33 of various sizes, achieving a good centering effect while improving production efficiency.

[0125] According to some embodiments of the present application, optionally, the first clamp 321 includes a first main body portion 3231, the first main body portion 3231 is provided with a third slide extending along the second direction W, the fixed pressure block 34 is connected to the third slide, and the fixed pressure block 34 can slide along the third slide.

[0126] In a possible implementation, the fixed pressure block 34 can be connected to the main body 323 of the first clamping jaw 321, and a third slideway is provided on the first main body 3231. The fixed pressure block 34 is connected to the third slideway, so that the fixed pressure block 34 can slide relative to the first main body 3231 along the third slideway. When the fixed pressure block 34 fixes the first component 331 at the first position, the clamping portion 324 adjusts the position of the clamping jaw 32 in the second direction W according to the first position, and the fixed pressure block 34 is relatively stationary with the first component 331, and moves relative to the first main body 3231 in the second direction W. Therefore, the third slideway extends along the second direction W, so that the fixed pressure block 34 and the first main body 3231 can move relative to each other in the second direction W.

[0127] The fixed pressure block 34 is connected to the first main body 3231 through the third slide, which can apply pressure to the first component 331 more accurately, thereby fixing the first component 331 in the first position, so that the centering adjustment mechanism can center the component 33 with a fixed reference to achieve a good centering effect.

[0128] The embodiment of the present application provides a centering adjustment mechanism for centering multiple components 33. The centering adjustment mechanism includes a connecting rod 31, and at least two clamps 32 are arranged on the connecting rod 31 at intervals along the extension direction of the connecting rod 31. Optionally, at least two clamps 32 can be fixedly connected to the connecting rod 31. The at least two clamps 32 can include a first clamp 321 and a second clamp 322. The first main body 3231 of the first clamp 321 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 31, and the first clamping part 3241 of the first clamp 321 forms a first clamping space; the second main body 3232 of the second clamp 322 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 31, and the second clamping part 3242 of the second clamp 322 forms a second clamping space.
