[0033] At present, from the perspective of market development, the application of power batteries is becoming more and more extensive. Power batteries are not only used in energy storage power systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power and solar power stations, but also widely used in electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric cars, as well as military equipment and aerospace and other fields. With the continuous expansion of the application field of power batteries, the market demand is also constantly expanding.

[0034] In the automated production line of battery assembly, the flow of batteries between processes is mainly achieved by pallet carrying and moving. Since the pallet needs to be unlocked whether the battery is placed in or taken out of the pallet, the manual unlocking of the pallet is not only laborious but also inefficient. In some technologies, the unlocking mechanism of the battery restraint component adopts unilateral unlocking, and the ejection stroke is large, which can easily cause the clamp holding the battery to suddenly pop out and collide with surrounding objects, and the unlocking efficiency is low, which in turn drags down the battery production rhythm.

[0035] In order to solve the above problems, the present application proposes a battery restraint component, which includes a mounting base, a carrier, a first positioning assembly, a second positioning assembly and at least two limiting assemblies. The carrier is connected to the mounting base, and the carrier is used to carry the battery; the first positioning assembly is connected to the mounting base, and the first positioning assembly is used to clamp the battery on the carrier along the first direction; the second positioning assembly includes two clamping members respectively located at both ends of the carrier along the second direction, and the clamping members are slidably connected to the mounting base, and the clamping members are used to clamp the battery on the carrier; the first direction intersects with the second direction, and the limiting assembly is connected to the mounting base, and the limiting assembly includes at least two limiting units respectively arranged corresponding to the two clamping members, and the limiting units are used to limit the movement of the clamping members along the second direction. The battery restraint component of the present application can realize the simultaneous unlocking of the two clamping members, so that the bilateral unlocking can improve the unlocking efficiency on the one hand, and reduce the unlocking stroke of a single clamping member on the other hand, and reduce the risk of collision with surrounding objects when the clamping member pops up.

[0036] The battery restraint component disclosed in the embodiment of the present application can be used, but is not limited to, in the production and transportation processes of various types of batteries.

[0037] For the convenience of explanation, please refer to the following examples. Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of a battery restraint component according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0038] The embodiment of the present application provides a battery restraint member 100, which includes a mounting base 110, a carrier 120, a first positioning assembly 130, a second positioning assembly 140 and a limiting assembly 150. The carrier 120 is connected to the mounting base 110, and the carrier 120 is used to carry a battery; the first positioning assembly 130 is connected to the mounting base 110, and the first positioning assembly 130 is used to clamp the battery on the carrier 120 along a first direction X; the second positioning assembly 140 includes two clamping members 141 respectively located at both ends of the carrier 120 along a second direction Y, and the clamping members 141 are slidably connected to the mounting base 110, and the clamping members 141 are used to clamp the battery on the carrier 120; the first direction X intersects with the second direction Y, the limiting assembly 150 is connected to the mounting base 110, and the limiting assembly 150 includes at least two limiting units 151 respectively arranged corresponding to the two clamping members 141, and the limiting units 151 are used to limit the movement of the corresponding clamping members 141 along the second direction Y.

[0039] The battery restraint member 100 is used to carry batteries and circulate between a plurality of different workstations. The battery restraint member 100 can be connected to a conveying track through a mounting base 110 and can be moved along the conveying track under driving.

[0040] The shape and specification of the carrier 120 can be adapted to the specifications of the battery, and the battery can be directly placed on the upper surface of the carrier 120. The first direction X and the second direction Y are both horizontal directions. The two clamping members 141 are respectively located at both ends of the carrier 120 along the second direction Y to clamp the battery on the carrier 120. The clamping member 141 can be connected to the mounting base 110 by any movable connection method, and can then move along the second direction Y on the mounting base 110.

[0041] The limiting assembly 150 may include at least two limiting units 151, such as 2, 4 or 6. In some embodiments, the number of limiting units 151 may be an even number, so that the number of limiting units 151 used to match the two clamping members 141 is the same. The limiting units 151 may limit and unlock the movement of the corresponding clamping members 141 along the second direction, so that when clamping is required, the two clamping members 141 move toward the direction close to the carrier 120 to abut against the battery on the carrier 120, and then the limiting units 151 may stop the clamping members 141, so that the two clamping members 141 maintain the clamping force. When the battery restraining member 100 moves to a preset position, the limiting units 151 may be controlled to unlock, and the clamping members 141 resume movement along the second direction Y, so that they can move away from the battery to facilitate battery removal.

[0042] In some embodiments, the battery may be a square battery cell, and the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, both clamping members 141 can be independently unlocked by the limiting unit 151. This improves the unlocking efficiency on the one hand, and on the other hand, bilateral unlocking can reduce the displacement stroke of a single clamping member 141 relative to unilateral unlocking, thereby controlling the displacement amplitude of the clamping member 141 and reducing the risk of injury to surrounding personnel. Moreover, bilateral unlocking is relatively synchronized with the force changes at both ends of the battery along the second direction, and the state of the battery is relatively more stable when unlocked, reducing the risk of the battery position shifting due to uneven force, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy of the battery restraint component in shaping the battery.

[0044] According to some embodiments of the present application, the limiting unit 151 includes a positioning pin 1511 and a driving part 1512, wherein the driving part 1512 is transmission-connected to the positioning pin 1511 and is used to drive the positioning pin 1511 to move between a locked position and an unlocked position; wherein the positioning pin 1511 abuts against the clamping member 141 when in the locked position, and is separated from the clamping member 141 when in the unlocked position.

[0045] The driving unit 1512 may be a power component having a power source, or may be a transmission structure that is transmission-connected to a power source at another position. The power source may be a power source, a high-pressure gas source, or other feasible power output device. The driving unit 1512 drives the positioning pin 1511 to move along the first direction X, and the stop position and the unlocking position are arranged at intervals along the first direction. The clamping member 141 may cooperate with the positioning pin 1511 through any structure, for example, a corresponding jack may be provided to cooperate with the positioning pin 1511, or an independent structure may be provided to cooperate with the positioning pin 1411. In some embodiments, a stop portion 142 is provided on the clamping member 141, and the stop portion 142 is used to abut against the positioning pin 1511 when in the stop position. The stop portion 142 may be detachably connected to the clamping member 141 through a fastener.

[0046] The locking and unlocking of the clamping member 141 is achieved by providing a driven positioning pin 1511. Compared with unlocking with a gear or rack structure, unlocking with a positioning pin is simpler and more direct, and error compensation adjustment can be performed when the processing dimensional accuracy is insufficient, thereby improving the unlocking accuracy of the clamping member 141.

[0047] According to some embodiments of the present application, the limiting unit 151 further includes a mounting portion 1513 , on which is provided a long strip-shaped mounting groove 1514 extending along the second direction Y. The mounting portion 1513 is detachably connected to the mounting base 110 via a fastener passing through the mounting groove 1514 .

[0048] The mounting groove 1514 may be a long strip-shaped through groove extending along the second direction Y, for example, a waist-shaped groove. The fastener may be a bolt. In some embodiments, the mounting base 110 is provided with a convex portion extending along the second direction Y, and the mounting portion 1513 of the limiting unit 151 may be clamped on the convex portion and locked and fixed by the fastener passing through the mounting groove 1514. Since the mounting groove 1514 has a certain extension space along the second direction Y, the limiting unit 151 can move along the second direction Y within a certain range relative to the mounting base 110 to adjust its own position, and then adjust the locking position of the positioning pin 1511 and the clamping member 141, so as to meet different locking needs, such as compensating for position deviation caused by processing errors.

[0049] By providing the long strip-shaped installation groove 1514, the installation position of the limiting unit 151 can be adjusted more flexibly, so that it can be adjusted in time according to the actual unlocking accuracy requirements, thereby improving the reliability of clamping and unlocking of the battery restraining component.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present application, the driving part 1512 includes a cylinder (not shown in the figure), which is fixedly connected to the mounting base 110, and the output end of the cylinder is transmission-connected to the positioning pin 1511 so that the cylinder can drive the positioning pin 1511 to move.

[0051] The cylinder can be directly fixedly connected to the designated position of the mounting base 110 corresponding to the assembly station. In some embodiments, the cylinder can cooperate with a sensor to detect the position of the battery restraint member through the sensor, and trigger the cylinder movement when the battery restraint member reaches the designated position, driving the positioning pin 1511 to move along the first direction X, thereby realizing automatic unlocking of the second positioning component of the battery restraint member.

[0052] By arranging a cylinder to drive the positioning pin to move, the electrification degree of the battery restraint component can be improved, which is more conducive to realizing automatic unlocking of the battery restraint component and improving the unlocking efficiency and unlocking accuracy.

[0053] According to some embodiments of the present application, the upper surface of the mounting base 110 is provided with a sliding rod 111 extending along the second direction Y, and a fixing seat 112 supporting both ends of the sliding rod 111; the lower surface of the clamping member 141 is provided with a guide seat 143, and the guide seat 143 is provided with a through hole allowing the sliding rod 111 to pass through, so that the clamping member 141 is slidably connected to the sliding rod 111.

[0054] The slide bar 111 is a rod-shaped component extending along the second direction Y. The cross section of the slide bar 111 can be of any shape. The two fixing seats 112 are arranged at intervals along the second direction Y and are respectively connected to the two ends of the slide bar 111 to support the slide bar 111.

[0055] The clamping member 141 may be disposed above the mounting base 110, and the guide seat 143 may be detachably or non-detachably connected to the lower surface of the clamping member 141 facing the mounting base 110. The cross-sectional shape of the through hole on the guide seat 143 may be adapted to the slide bar 111, so that the clamping member 141 may move along the second direction Y under the cooperation of the guide seat 143 and the slide bar 111.

[0056] In some embodiments, the number of the sliding rods 111 may be multiple, and the corresponding fixing seats 112 and guide seats 143 also match the number of the sliding rods 111. The multiple sliding rods 111 may be arranged along the first direction X at intervals.

[0057] By providing the sliding rod 111 and the guide seat 143 that cooperate with each other, a guiding effect can be provided for the movement of the clamping member 141 along the second direction Y, so that the movement of the clamping member 141 is more stable, and it is also beneficial to cooperate with the limit unit 150 to improve the unlocking accuracy.

[0058] According to some embodiments of the present application, an elastic element 113 is provided between the fixing seat 112 and the guiding seat 143 , and the elastic element is configured to be in a tensioned or compressed state when the clamping member 141 clamps the battery.

[0059] The elastic element 113 may be a spring, and the elastic element 113 may be sleeved on the surface of the slide bar 111, so that the clamping member 141 stretches or squeezes the elastic element 113 through the guide seat 143 when moving along the second direction. In some embodiments, the two ends of the elastic element 113 may be connected to the fixing seat 112 and the guide seat 143 respectively. In some embodiments, the elastic element 113 is not directly connected to the fixing seat 112 and the guide seat 143, but is only sleeved on the surface of the slide bar 111 and located on the side of the guide seat 143 facing the carrier 120, so that when the clamping member 141 moves in the direction close to the carrier to clamp the battery, the elastic element 113 is compressed, and when the clamping member 141 is unlocked, the clamping member 141 will pop out in the direction away from the carrier 120 under the action of the restoring force of the elastic element 113.

[0060] The elastic element 113 can provide a restoring force for the clamping member 141, so that it can automatically pop out in a direction away from the carrier 120 and the battery when unlocking. This can reduce the risk of jamming when unlocking, achieve reliable unlocking, and improve unlocking efficiency.

[0061] According to some embodiments of the present application, a buffer pad 114 is sleeved on the circumferential surface of at least one end of the sliding rod 111 , and the buffer pad 114 is located on a side of the fixing seat 112 facing the guide seat 143 .

[0062] The buffer pad 114 can be made of elastic material, such as rubber, sponge, latex, etc. The buffer pad 114 can be directly bonded to the circumferential surface of the slide bar 111 or the side surface of the fixing seat 112 facing the guide seat 143, or can be abutted between the elastic element 113 and the fixing seat 112.

[0063] In some embodiments, the elastic element 113 is located between the guide seat 143 and the fixed seat 112 close to the bearing member 120, and the buffer pad 114 can be located at one end of the slide bar 111 close to the bearing member 120, so that the buffer pad 114 is located between the elastic element 113 and the fixed seat 112 close to the bearing member 120, and is used to buffer the impact force transmitted by the elastic element 113. It can also be located at one end of the slide bar 111 away from the bearing member 120, so that when the clamping member 141 moves in a direction away from the bearing member 120, the buffer pad 114 can transmit the impact force of the guide seat 143 hitting the fixed seat 112. In some embodiments, buffer pads 114 are provided at both ends of the slide bar 111.

[0064] By providing the buffer pad 114, the impact force generated when the clamping member 141 moves can be alleviated, the impact sound when unlocking can be reduced, the service life of the component can be increased, and the risk of pinching surrounding personnel can be reduced.

[0065] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first positioning assembly 130 includes a fixed clamping end 131 and a movable clamping end 132 respectively located at both ends of the carrier 120 along the first direction X, the fixed clamping end 131 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 110, and the movable clamping end 132 is movably connected to the mounting base 110 and can move along the first direction X.

[0066] The fixed clamping end 131 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 110 by a fastener, and the movable clamping end 132 is movably connected to the mounting base by a sliding connection structure that cooperates with each other, so that the movable clamping end 132 can realize the first positioning assembly 130 clamping or releasing the battery by moving along the first direction X. In some embodiments, a slide rail is provided on the upper surface of the mounting base 110, and the movable clamping end 132 is movably connected to the mounting base by providing a slide groove that cooperates with the slide rail.

[0067] By cooperating the movable clamping end 132 of the first positioning assembly 130 with the second positioning assembly 140 , the battery can be clamped and unlocked in multiple directions more efficiently, thereby improving the unlocking efficiency.

[0068] An embodiment of the present application provides a battery conveying device, including a conveying track and a battery restraining member 100 as described above. The battery restraining member 100 is movably connected to the conveying track and can move along the extending direction of the conveying track.

[0069] In some embodiments, multiple battery restraint components 100 are arranged at intervals on the conveying track and can be driven to move along the conveying track. The assembly stations are arranged in sequence at intervals along the extension direction of the conveying track, so that the battery conveying device can convey the batteries to different assembly stations to complete the corresponding assembly process.

[0070] The battery conveying device of this embodiment has the battery restraining member in the above-mentioned embodiment, and also has high unlocking efficiency, so as to realize reliable and efficient conveying of batteries.

[0071] An embodiment of the present application provides a battery production device, comprising the battery conveying device as described above, and a gripping device, wherein the gripping device is configured to move the battery into or out of a carrier of a battery restraining member of the battery conveying device.

[0072] The gripping device may be any device capable of gripping a battery and moving it to or from a carrier of a battery restraining member, for example, the gripping device may be a manipulator or a self-propelled robot. The battery production equipment may also include a plurality of assembly devices located at different workstations, and the specific structure of the assembly device may be set according to the corresponding assembly process and assembly requirements, which is not limited here.

[0073] The battery production equipment of this embodiment includes the battery conveying device in the aforementioned embodiment, which can improve the battery unlocking effect and the reliability of conveying, thereby facilitating improving the battery production efficiency.

[0074] The battery restraint component of the present application is further described below in conjunction with a specific implementation.
