The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present application, and are therefore only used as examples, and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present application.

[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by technicians in the technical field to which this application belongs; the terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application; the terms "including" and "having" in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned figure descriptions and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions.

[0035] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the technical terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish different objects, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number, specific order or primary and secondary relationship of the indicated technical features. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is more than two, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0036] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0037] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the term "and / or" is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there may be three relationships. For example, m and / or n can represent: m exists alone, m and n exist at the same time, and n exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0038] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the term "plurality" refers to more than two (including two).

[0039] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the orientations or positional relationships indicated by technical terms such as "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", and "circumferential" are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the embodiments of the present application.

[0040] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, technical terms such as "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0041] In the embodiments of the present application, "parallel" includes not only the absolutely parallel situation, but also the roughly parallel situation conventionally recognized in engineering; at the same time, "perpendicular" also includes not only the absolutely perpendicular situation, but also the roughly perpendicular situation conventionally recognized in engineering. For example, if the angle between two directions is 85°-90°, the two directions can be considered perpendicular; if the angle between two directions is 0°-5°, the two directions can be considered parallel.

[0042] 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 prevent liquid or other foreign matter from affecting the charging or discharging of the battery cells.

[0043] In the production process of batteries, battery support devices are often required. For batteries with side mounting beams, in order to improve the stability of the battery support, the side support structure of the battery support device is a contoured structure with the side mounting beam of the battery. However, the mounting surface of the mounting beam may be a plane or an inclined surface, and the degree of inclination of the mounting surface of different types of batteries may be different. When the battery is replaced, if the side support structure of the battery support device is not replaced, there may be line contact between the side support structure and the battery mounting beam, resulting in insufficient support strength and poor support stability. Therefore, when the battery is replaced, all the side support structures need to be replaced, which takes a long time to replace, involves a large workload, and increases the battery tooling parts cache.

[0044] Based on the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a battery supporting device for supporting a battery.

[0045] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The embodiments will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0046] Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a battery support device provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the enlarged structure of area A in the middle. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a top view of a battery support device provided by an embodiment of the present application with a battery placed thereon. Figure 4 yes Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along the BB direction, Figure 5 yes Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the enlarged structure of area C. Figures 1 to 5 , the battery support device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a support mechanism. The support mechanism includes two or more support components 11, and the two or more support components 11 are arranged to be spaced apart from each other along the first direction X and the spacing along the first direction X can be adjusted. Each support component 11 extends and distributes along the second direction Y, and the second direction Y intersects with the first direction X. Each support component 11 includes a support member 111, and the support member 111 is rotatable around a first rotation axis 112, and the first rotation axis 112 extends along the second direction Y to change the angle formed between the support surface 1111 of the support member 111 and the reference plane a defined by the first direction X and the second direction Y.

[0047] The support assembly 11 may extend along the second direction Y, or may be distributed along the second direction Y. For example, when there is one support assembly 11 on each of the two opposite sides in the first direction X, the support assembly 11 may extend along the second direction Y. When there are multiple support assemblies 11 on each of the two opposite sides in the first direction X, each support assembly 11 may extend along the second direction Y, or may be distributed along the second direction Y. Multiple support assemblies 11 on the same side may be arranged closely, or may be arranged at intervals.

[0048] The first direction X and the second direction Y intersect to define a reference plane a. Exemplarily, when the first direction X and the second direction Y are both parallel to the horizontal direction and perpendicular to each other, the reference plane a defined by the first direction X and the second direction Y is a horizontal plane.

[0049] The supporting surface 1111 of the support member 111 may be an end surface formed at one end of the support member 111 along the third direction Z, for contacting the supported battery, and the third direction Z, the first direction X, and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other. Exemplarily, when the reference plane a defined by the first direction X and the second direction Y is a horizontal plane, the supporting surface 1111 of the support member 111 may be a top end surface of the support member 111, so as to contact the battery supported on the support member 111.

[0050] The shape of the support surface 1111 is not limited as long as it can be adapted to the battery. For example, the support surface 1111 can be a plane, a curved surface, or a bent surface formed by multiple surfaces that are not in the same plane.

[0051] The battery support device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a support mechanism, which includes two or more support components 11, each support component 11 extends and distributes along the second direction Y, and the two or more support components 11 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X to support two opposite sides of the battery along the first direction X. The two or more support components 11 are arranged at an adjustable interval along the first direction X, so as to adapt to a variety of batteries with different sizes in the first direction X. The support component 11 includes a support member 111, and the support member 111 can rotate around a first rotation axis 112 extending along the second direction Y, so as to change the angle formed between the support surface 1111 of the support member 111 and the reference plane a defined by the first direction X and the second direction Y. When the battery 300 is placed on the support mechanism, the support member 111 can automatically rotate to an angle at which its support surface 1111 is adapted to the mounting surface 301 of the battery 300. Therefore, the support member 111 can adapt to mounting surfaces with different degrees of inclination, so that the battery support device 100 can support multiple types of batteries with mounting surfaces with different degrees of inclination, thereby improving the adaptability of the battery support device 100, saving the time for changing when supporting different types of batteries, and reducing the battery tooling parts cache.

[0052] The support surface 1111 is adapted to the mounting surface 301 of the battery 300 so that the support surface 1111 and the mounting surface 301 of the battery 300 are in surface contact, thereby increasing the contact area between the two, thereby increasing the support stability and support strength of the battery. Therefore, the angle formed between the support surface 1111 and the reference plane a may be the angle between the mounting surface 301 of the battery 300 and the reference plane a.

[0053] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The support assembly 11 further includes a retaining member 113, which can fix the support member 111 at any angle formed with the reference plane a.

[0054] It can be understood that the above-mentioned arbitrary angle position formed with the reference plane a means the position of the support member 111 when the support surface 1111 of the support member 111 forms an arbitrary angle with the reference plane a. Regardless of the position to which the support member 111 is rotated so that its support surface 1111 forms any angle with the reference plane a, the retaining member 113 can fix the support member 111 at the position.

[0055] Optionally, in order to improve the supporting effect of the support member 111, the support surface 1111 may form an angle greater than or equal to zero and less than 90° with the reference plane a. When the support member 111 is rotated to a position where the angle between its support surface 1111 and the reference plane a is any angle greater than or equal to zero and less than 90°, the retaining member 113 can keep the support member 111 at this position. Exemplarily, the retaining member 113 can fix the support member 111 at a position where its support surface 1111 forms an angle of 0°, 10°, 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70° or 80° with the reference plane a.

[0056] The retaining member 113 is a position retaining member of the support member 111, and its structural form is not limited, as long as it can keep the support member 111 fixed after the support member 111 rotates to any angle. Exemplarily, the retaining member 113 can be a locking pin, and when the support member 111 rotates to form a preset angle position with the reference plane a, the support member 111 is locked by the locking pin to prevent the support member 111 from further rotating.

[0057] After the battery is placed on the support mechanism, the support member 111 may rotate around the first rotation axis 112 under the downward pressure of the battery. When the support member 111 rotates until its support surface 1111 is adapted to the mounting surface of the battery, it no longer needs to rotate further, and at this time, the support member 111 forms a preset angle with the reference plane a. The retaining member 113 can fix the support member 111 at a position that forms a preset angle with the reference plane a, thereby reducing the shaking of the support member 111 and improving the stability of the battery support.

[0058] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The support assembly 11 further includes a support seat 114, and the support member 111 is rotatably connected to the support seat 114 at one side of the support seat 114 along the third direction Z. The first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other. The retaining member 113 is disposed between the support seat 114 and the support member 111, and is configured to be elastically compressed with the rotation of the support member 111 and elastically stretched with the rotation of the support member 111.

[0059] The support seat 114 can provide support for the support member 111, so that the support member 111 can rotate relative to the support seat 114. The first rotation shaft 112 can pass through the support seat 114.

[0060] Exemplarily, when the first direction X and the second direction Y are parallel to the horizontal direction and perpendicular to each other, the third direction Z is a vertical direction. The support member 111 may be rotatably connected to the support base 114 above the support base 114 .

[0061] The retaining member 113 is located between the support seat 114 and the support member 111. The connection method between the retaining member 113 and the support seat 114 and the connection method between the retaining member 113 and the support member 111 are not limited, as long as the retaining member 113 can be stably located between the support seat 114 and the support member 111. Exemplarily, the retaining member 113 can be connected to the support seat 114 and / or the support member 111 by a fixed connection method such as bonding, welding, and clamping. The retaining member 113 can also be in contact with the support member 111 without a fixed connection method.

[0062] The retaining member 113 may be a component capable of producing elastic deformation, and the specific structural form of the retaining member 113 is not limited, as long as it can produce elastic deformation. For example, the retaining member 113 may include a spring, a sponge, a silicone pad, and the like.

[0063] When the support member 111 rotates, the retaining member 113 squeezed by the support member 111 is elastically compressed, and the retaining member 113 released or stretched by the support member 111 recovers its deformation or is elastically stretched. When the support member 111 stops rotating, the retaining member 113 maintains its elastic deformation under the squeezing action of the support member 111, thereby keeping the support member 111 fixed at a preset angle formed with the reference plane a.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, the retaining member 113 is disposed between the support seat 114 and the support member 111, and the retaining member 113 can produce elastic deformation. The angle formed between the support member 111 and the reference plane a is different, and the degree of elastic deformation produced by the retaining member 113 is different. Regardless of the angle formed between the support member 111 and the reference plane a, the retaining member 113 can automatically keep the support member 111 fixed, without the need for manual intervention, further reducing the battery replacement time and alleviating the burden of manual work.

[0065] Figure 6 is a schematic side view of a battery support device provided by an embodiment of the present application with a battery placed thereon. Figure 7 yes Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the enlarged structure of region E. In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 7 The support seat 114 includes a base 1141 and a connecting portion 1142. The connecting portion 1142 protrudes toward one side of the base 1141 along the third direction Z. The retaining member 113 is disposed between the base 1141 and the support member 111, and the first rotating shaft 112 passes through the connecting portion 1142 along the second direction Y, so that the support member 111 is supported on the connecting portion 1142, and a clearance gap 115 is formed between the extended end of the connecting portion 1142 and the support member 111.

[0066] The base 1141 may be parallel to a reference plane a defined by the first direction X and the second direction Y to improve the support stability of the support member 111. Exemplarily, when the first direction X and the second direction Y are both parallel to the horizontal direction and perpendicular to each other, the base 1141 extends parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0067] The base 1141 and the connecting portion 1142 may be integrally formed to improve the structural strength. The base 1141 and the connecting portion 1142 may also be fixedly connected by welding, riveting, or the like.

[0068] The support member 111 is directly supported on the connecting portion 1142 through the first rotating shaft 112. The connecting portion 1142 protrudes and extends toward one side of the base 1141 along the third direction Z, so as to support the support member 111 at a certain distance away from the base 1141 to avoid structural interference with the base 1141 when the support member 111 rotates.

[0069] The connecting portion 1142 may extend perpendicular to the second direction Y. The support member 111 may include a first section 1112 and a second section 1113 that are opposite and spaced apart along the second direction Y, and a third section 1114 that is connected between the first section 1112 and the second section 1113. The first section 1112 and the second section 1113 are respectively located on opposite sides of the connecting portion 1142 along the second direction Y, and the third section 1114 is located on one side of the connecting portion 1142 along the third direction Z, and is spaced apart from the connecting portion 1142 to form a clearance gap between the third section 1114 and the connecting portion 1142. Exemplarily, when the first direction X and the second direction Y are both parallel to the horizontal direction and the third direction Z is a vertical direction, the third section 1114 may be suspended above the connecting portion 1142.

[0070] Further, the retaining member 113 may be located between the first section 1112 and the base 1141 , and between the second section 1113 and the base 1141 , so as to maintain the support member 111 in a balanced manner in the second direction Y.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present application, a clearance gap is formed between the extended end of the connecting portion 1142 and the supporting member 111 , and the clearance gap can provide a clearance space for the rotation of the supporting member 111 , thereby allowing the supporting member 111 to rotate smoothly within a preset angle range.

[0072] The size of the clearance gap formed between the extended end of the connection part 1142 and the support member 111 can be set according to the angle range that the support member 111 needs to rotate. The angle range that the support member 111 needs to rotate is set according to the mounting surface of the supported battery. When the angle range that the support member 111 needs to rotate is large, the clearance gap formed between the extended end of the connection part 1142 and the support member 111 is also relatively large.

[0073] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 The retaining member 113 includes a plurality of elastic elements 1131 that are independent of each other, and the plurality of elastic elements 1131 are dispersedly arranged at least along the first direction X between the support seat 114 and the support member 111 .

[0074] The elastic element 1131 can generate elastic deformation at least in the third direction Z, and the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other.

[0075] The plurality of elastic elements 1131 are distributed at intervals at least along the first direction X. When the support member 111 rotates around the first rotation axis 112 to form a non-zero angle between its support surface 1111 and the reference plane a, the elastic deformation amounts generated by the elastic elements 1131 distributed at intervals along the first direction X are different. Under the action of pressure, the elastic deformation amounts of the elastic elements 1131 are kept unchanged, so that the support member 111 is kept fixed at a position forming any angle with the reference plane a. When the support surface 1111 of the support member 111 is parallel to the reference plane a, the elastic deformation amounts generated by the elastic elements 1131 are substantially the same.

[0076] The plurality of elastic elements 1131 may be further distributed at intervals along the second direction Y. The plurality of elastic elements 1131 may be evenly distributed between the support seat 114 and the support member 111. For example, the plurality of elastic elements 1131 may be evenly distributed in the form of multiple rows and columns.

[0077] The embodiment of the present application provides a plurality of mutually independent elastic elements 1131 , so as to maintain the position of the fixed support member 111 in a more balanced and stable manner.

[0078] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The battery support device 100 further includes a moving mechanism, which includes a first slide rail 21 and two moving components 22. The first slide rail 21 extends along the first direction X. The two moving components 22 are arranged relatively spaced apart along the first direction X, and the two or more support components 11 are respectively connected to the two moving components 22. The support component 11 can move along the first direction X driven by the moving component 22, so as to adjust the spacing between the support components 11 spaced apart along the first direction X.

[0079] Furthermore, each moving component 22 is connected to the first slide rail 21 via a first locking mechanism 41 , and the first locking mechanism 41 can selectively release the moving component 22 to allow the moving component 22 to slide along the first slide rail 21 or lock the moving component 22 at a preset position on the first slide rail 21 .

[0080] The number of the first slide rail 21 may be one, and each movable assembly 22 is connected to the first slide rail 21. The number of the first slide rail 21 may also be multiple, and the multiple first slide rails 21 are spaced apart along the second direction Y. Each movable assembly 22 is simultaneously connected to the multiple first slide rails 21. When the number of the first slide rails 21 is multiple, the multiple first slide rails 21 may also be divided into two groups of slide rails relatively spaced apart along the first direction X, and the multiple first slide rails 21 of each group of slide rails are spaced apart along the second direction Y, and each movable assembly 22 is connected to the corresponding group of slide rails.

[0081] The number of the mobile components 22 can be two, so as to respectively connect a plurality of support components 11 arranged relatively spaced apart along the first direction X. When it is necessary to support the battery, the first locking mechanism 41 releases the mobile component 22, and the spacing between the two mobile components 22 along the first direction X can be reasonably adjusted according to the size of the battery along the first direction X, so that the spacing between the plurality of support components 11 connected to the two mobile components 22 along the first direction X is adapted to the size of the battery along the first direction X. Then, the mobile component 22 is locked by the first locking mechanism 41, so as to keep the spacing between the two or more support components 11 along the first direction X unchanged. When the battery is replaced, the mobile component 22 is released again by the first locking mechanism 41, and the spacing between the two mobile components 22 can be adjusted.

[0082] The specific structure of the first locking mechanism 41 is not limited, as long as it can selectively lock or release the moving assembly 22. For example, the first locking mechanism 41 can be a slider limiter, a knob plunger, or other mechanisms.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present application, the distance between two or more support assemblies 11 arranged at intervals along the first direction X is adjusted by a moving mechanism, so that the adjustment process is smoother and the adjustment method is simple, further reducing the battery replacement time.

[0084] In some embodiments, each moving component 22 extends along the second direction Y and is connected to a plurality of supporting components 11 . The plurality of supporting components 11 connected to the same moving component 22 are distributed along the second direction Y at intervals.

[0085] The moving assembly 22 extending along the second direction Y may be supported by a plurality of first slide rails 21 arranged at intervals along the second direction Y, so as to improve the supporting balance of the moving assembly 22 .

[0086] A plurality of support components 11 connected to the same moving component 22 and spaced apart along the second direction Y can provide a plurality of support positions, thereby supporting the side of the battery extending along the second direction Y at the plurality of support positions, thereby improving the stability of the battery support.

[0087] Each moving assembly 22 can drive the multiple supporting assemblies 11 connected thereto to move synchronously along the first direction X, thereby reducing the movement errors of the multiple supporting assemblies 11 and improving the position adjustment efficiency of the multiple supporting assemblies 11 .

[0088] The plurality of support assemblies 11 are spaced apart along the second direction Y, and the gap formed between two adjacent support assemblies 11 can avoid the battery clamp tooling, provide a space for the battery clamp tooling, and facilitate the clamping fixture to be inserted into the gap and then clamp the battery.

[0089] In other embodiments, each moving assembly 22 extends along the second direction Y and is connected to a supporting assembly 11. The supporting assembly 11 may extend along the second direction Y, and the supporting assembly 11 is provided with a plurality of notches spaced apart along the second direction Y, so as to provide a space for the battery clamping tooling, so as to facilitate the clamping fixture to be inserted into the notch and thus clamp the battery.

[0090] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 The moving assembly 22 includes a bottom plate 221 and a second slide rail 222 disposed on the bottom plate 221 , and the second slide rail 222 extends along the second direction Y. The support assembly 11 is connected to the second slide rail 222 via a second locking mechanism 42 , and the second locking mechanism 42 can selectively release the support assembly 11 to allow the support assembly 11 to slide along the second slide rail 222 or lock the support assembly 11 at a preset position of the second slide rail 222 .

[0091] The specific structure of the second locking mechanism 42 is not limited, as long as it can selectively lock or release the support assembly 11. Exemplarily, the second locking mechanism 42 can be a slider limiter, a knob plunger, or other mechanisms.

[0092] When the second locking mechanism 42 releases the support assembly 11, the support assembly 11 can slide along the second slide rail 222, thereby changing the position of the support assembly 11 in the second direction Y, and then reasonably adjusting the supporting position of the support assembly 11 on the battery, thereby improving the flexibility of the supporting position of the support assembly 11 and allowing the battery clamp tooling to clamp the battery from any position.

[0093] Figure 8 yes Figure 4 In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 8 The battery support device 100 also includes a positioning mechanism, which includes more than two positioning components 31. The more than two positioning components 31 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X and the intervals along the first direction X are adjustable. Each positioning component 31 is movably arranged along the second direction Y.

[0094] The positioning assembly 31 can position the battery supported on the battery supporting device 100 to prevent the battery from shifting or falling from the battery supporting device 100 .

[0095] The two or more positioning components 31 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X, so that the battery can be positioned on two opposite sides along the first direction X, thereby improving the accuracy of battery positioning.

[0096] In the embodiment of the present application, the two or more positioning components 31 are arranged with adjustable spacing along the first direction X, and each positioning component 31 is movably arranged along the second direction Y. The position of the positioning component 31 in the first direction X and the second direction Y can be adjusted to facilitate compatibility with positioning structures at different positions of the battery, thereby improving the adaptability of the positioning mechanism and further reducing the battery tooling parts cache.

[0097] In some embodiments, the battery support device 100 further includes a moving mechanism, which includes a first slide rail 21 and two moving components 22. The first slide rail 21 extends along a first direction X. The two moving components 22 are arranged relatively spaced apart along the first direction X, and two or more positioning components 31 are respectively connected to the two moving components 22. The positioning component 31 can move along the first direction X driven by the moving component 22, so as to adjust the spacing between the positioning components 31 spaced apart along the first direction X. Among them, each moving component 22 is connected to the first slide rail 21 through a first locking mechanism 41, and the first locking mechanism 41 can selectively allow the moving component 22 to slide along the first slide rail 21 or lock the moving component 22 at a preset position on the first slide rail 21.

[0098] The positioning assembly 31 may include a body 311 and a positioning member 312 protruding from one side of the body 311 toward the third direction Z. The positioning member 312 can be inserted into a corresponding positioning structure on the battery to achieve positioning of the battery. The structure of the positioning member 312 is not limited as long as it can achieve positioning cooperation with the battery. For example, the positioning member 312 can be a positioning column for inserting into the positioning hole of the battery.

[0099] There may be two positioning components 31, and the two positioning components 31 are respectively connected to the two moving components 22. The two positioning components 31 can position the battery on two opposite sides along the first direction X, and each side has a positioning component 31, which reduces the difficulty of positioning.

[0100] In the embodiment of the present application, the spacing between two or more positioning components 31 arranged at intervals along the first direction X is adjusted by a moving mechanism, and the adjustment process is smoother and the adjustment method is simple, which further reduces the battery replacement time. In addition, the positioning component 31 and the support component 11 are connected to the same moving mechanism, and the positions of the positioning component 31 and the support component 11 can be adjusted simultaneously by the moving mechanism, which further reduces the replacement time and simplifies the structure of the battery support device 100.

[0101] In some embodiments, the moving assembly 22 includes a bottom plate 221 and a second slide rail 222 disposed on the bottom plate 221 , and the second slide rail 222 extends along the second direction Y. The positioning assembly 31 is connected to the second slide rail 222 via a third locking mechanism, and the third locking mechanism 43 can selectively release the positioning assembly 31 to allow the positioning assembly 31 to slide along the second slide rail 222 or lock the positioning assembly 31 at a preset position of the second slide rail 222 .

[0102] The specific structure of the third locking mechanism 43 is not limited, as long as it can selectively lock or release the positioning assembly 31. Exemplarily, the third locking mechanism 43 can be a slider limiter, a knob plunger, or other mechanisms.

[0103] When the third locking mechanism 43 releases the positioning assembly 31 , the positioning assembly 31 can slide along the second slide rail 222 , thereby changing the position of the positioning assembly 31 in the second direction Y, so that the positioning assembly 31 is precisely matched with the positioning structure of the battery.

[0104] In some embodiments, more than two support components 11 are arranged into two rows spaced apart along the first direction X, and each row includes a plurality of support components 11 arranged flush and spaced apart along the second direction Y.

[0105] The multiple support assemblies 11 in each column are spaced apart along the second direction Y, and the gap formed between two adjacent support assemblies 11 can provide a space for the battery clamp tooling, so that the clamping fixture tooling can be inserted into the gap to clamp the battery.

[0109] The support surface 1111 of the support member 111 may be an end surface of the support member 111 away from the support platform 201 along the third direction Z, so as to facilitate contact with the battery. The first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other.

The more than two support components 11 and the more than two positioning components 31 are respectively connected to the two moving components 22, and the spacing adjustment of the more than two support components 11 and the more than two positioning components 31 in the first direction X is realized by sliding the two moving components 22 on the first slide rail 21 along the first direction X, so as to adapt to batteries with different sizes in the first direction X. Each movable component 22 has a second slide rail 222 extending along the second direction Y, and the support component 11 and the positioning component 31 are connected to the second slide rail 222. The positions of the support component 11 and the positioning component 31 in the second direction Y can be adjusted by sliding the support component 11 and the positioning component 31 along the second slide rail 222, so as to adapt to batteries with different sizes in the second direction Y, reasonably adjust the support area of ​​the battery, and be compatible with the positioning structures of different positions of the battery.
