However, after understanding the disclosure of the present application, various changes, modifications and equivalents of the methods, devices and / or systems described herein will be apparent. For example, the order of operations described herein is merely an example, and is not limited to the order set forth herein, but in addition to the operations that must occur in a particular order, changes that will be apparent after understanding the disclosure of the present application may be made. In addition, in order to improve clarity and brevity, descriptions of features known in the art may be omitted.

[0044] The features described herein may be implemented in different forms and should not be interpreted as being limited to the examples described herein. Rather, the examples described herein have been provided only to illustrate some of the many possible ways of implementing the methods, devices and / or systems described herein that will be apparent after understanding the disclosure of the present application.

[0045] Throughout the specification, when an element (such as a layer, a region, or a substrate) is described as being “on”, “connected to”, “bound to”, “over”, or “covering” another element, it may be directly “on”, “connected to”, “bound to”, “over”, or “covering” another element, or one or more other elements may be present between them. In contrast, when an element is described as being “directly on”, “directly connected to”, “directly bound to”, “directly over”, or “directly covering” another element, there may be no other elements present between them.

[0046] As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any one of the associated listed items and any combination of any two or more items.

[0047] Although terms such as "first," "second," and "third" may be used herein to describe various members, components, regions, layers, or portions, these members, components, regions, layers, or portions are not limited by these terms. Rather, these terms are only used to distinguish one member, component, region, layer, or portion from another member, component, region, layer, or portion. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of the examples described herein, the first member, component, region, layer, or portion referred to may also be referred to as the second member, component, region, layer, or portion.

[0048] For ease of description, spatial relational terms such as "above", "upper", "below", and "lower" may be used herein to describe the relationship of one element to another element as shown in the accompanying drawings. Such spatial relational terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the accompanying drawings. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is turned over, an element described as being "above" or "upper" relative to another element will subsequently be "below" or "lower" relative to the other element. Therefore, the term "above" includes both "above" and "below" orientations depending on the spatial orientation of the device. The device may also be positioned in other ways (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relational terms used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0049] The terms used herein are only used to describe various examples and are not used to limit the present disclosure. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. The terms "include", "comprise" and "have" list the stated features, quantities, operations, components, elements and / or their combinations that exist, but do not exclude the existence or addition of one or more other features, quantities, operations, components, elements and / or their combinations.

[0050] Variations in the shapes shown in the drawings may occur due to manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances. Therefore, the examples described herein are not limited to the specific shapes shown in the drawings but include variations in shapes that occur during manufacturing.

In this way, the contraction or expansion of the receiving space can be achieved through the movement of the two abutting mechanisms 22 and the two limiting mechanisms 23, thereby achieving the clamping of the object to be clamped.

[0056] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the clamping assembly 2 also includes a first lead screw 241 and a first nut 242. Both ends of the first lead screw 241 are fixed to the mounting plate 21 through two first support seats 243. The first lead screw 241 extends along the first direction L1. The position of the mounting plate 21 corresponding to the first lead screw 241 is hollowed out. The first nut 242 is sleeved on the first lead screw 241. One abutment mechanism 22 is connected to the mounting plate 21, and the other abutment mechanism 22 is connected to the first nut 242. In this way, the operator can adjust the position of the first nut 242 by rotating the first lead screw 241, thereby adjusting the position of the abutment mechanism 22 connected to the first nut 242 to meet the clamping requirements for single-row battery cells 5 with different numbers of battery cells.

[0057] Further, the abutment mechanism 22 includes a first driving part 221 and an abutment member 222, and the two surfaces of the two abutment members 222 facing each other are two abutment surfaces, wherein one first driving part 221 is fixed on the mounting plate 21, and the other first driving part 221 is fixed on the first nut 242, thereby realizing the connection between one abutment mechanism 22 and the first nut 242, and the other abutment mechanism 22 is fixed on the mounting plate 21. The first driving part 221 includes a first piston rod, which can be extended and retracted along the first direction L1, and the abutment member 222 is connected to the first piston rod. In this way, the movement of the first push rod can drive the movement of the abutment member 222, so that the two abutment members 222 can approach or move away from each other in the first direction L1, thereby making the two abutment surfaces approach or move away from each other in the first direction L1, thereby realizing the clamping of the object to be clamped.

[0058] Optionally, the first driving part 221 may be a cylinder.

[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, the abutment member 222 includes a stabilizing plate 2221 and two abutment claws 2222. The stabilizing plate 2221 is connected to the first piston rod. The abutment claws 2222 are arranged on the stabilizing plate 2221 at intervals along the second direction L2.

[0061] Optionally, each abutting member 222 is correspondingly provided with two first sliders 244 and two first slide rails 245 , the two first sliders 244 are respectively located at two ends of the stabilizing plate 2221 in the second direction L2 , and the two second slide rails 254 are spaced apart along the second direction L2 .

[0062] In an embodiment of the present application, two guide blocks 246 are provided on the first nut 242, and the two guide blocks 246 are arranged at intervals along the second direction L2. The two guide blocks 246 are respectively arranged on two second slide rails 254. When the first screw 241 is rotated to adjust the position of the abutment mechanism 22 connected to the first nut 242, the two guide blocks 246 slide along the first slide rail 245, thereby guiding the movement of the abutment mechanism 22 connected to the first nut 242.

[0063] like Figure 4 As shown, a scale 247 is provided on the mounting plate 21, and a plurality of scale values ​​are provided on the scale 247, and the plurality of scale values ​​are equidistantly spaced along the first direction L1 on the mounting plate 21, and the plurality of scale values ​​and the first lead screw 241 are located on the same side of the mounting plate 21 in the first direction L1. The position of the guide block 246 can be obtained through the scale value, thereby obtaining the distance between the two abutment mechanisms 22, so as to adjust the position of the abutment mechanism 22 connected to the first screw nut 242.

[0064] In the embodiments of the present application, Figure 3As shown, the limiting mechanism 23 includes a second driving part 231 and a limiting member 232. The second driving part 231 includes a second piston rod, which can be extended and retracted along the second direction L2. The limiting member 232 is connected to the second piston rod, so that the second piston rod can drive the limiting member 232 to move along the second direction L2. In this way, the two limiting members 232 can approach or move away from each other in the second direction L2, so as to facilitate the clamping and release of the single-row battery cells 5.

[0065] Furthermore, the limiting member 232 includes a limiting plate 2321, a connecting member 2322 and a supporting plate 2323. The two surfaces of the two limiting plates 2321 facing each other are two limiting surfaces. The connecting member 2322 is fixed to the middle of the limiting plate 2321. The connecting member 2322 is connected to the end of the second piston rod. The supporting plate 2323 extends from the lower end of the limiting plate 2321 toward the inside of the accommodation space along the second direction L2. When the clamping assembly 2 clamps the object to be clamped, the two limiting surfaces abut against the two sides of the single-row battery cell 5 in the second direction L2, and the two second supporting plates 2323 can support the bottom of the single-row battery cell 5, thereby preventing the battery cells in the single-row battery cell 5 from falling.

[0066] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the clamping device includes a second lead screw 251 and two second screw nuts 252. Both ends of the second lead screw 251 are fixed on the mounting plate 21 through two second support seats 253.

The two second driving parts 231 included in the two limiting mechanisms 23 are respectively connected to the two second screw nuts 252. In this way, the operator can make the two second screw nuts 252 approach or move away from each other by rotating the second lead screw 251, thereby adjusting the positions of the two second limiting mechanisms 23 to meet the clamping requirements of the single-row battery cells 5 with different sizes in the second direction L2.

[0067] Optionally, the clamping assembly 2 further includes two guide mechanisms, which correspond to the two limiting mechanisms 23 respectively.

The second slider 255 is fixed to the limiting plate 2321 corresponding to the guide mechanism, and the second slider 255 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 254. When the second lead screw 251 rotates, the second slider 255 moves along the second slide rail 254. When the second driving part 231 drives the limiting plate 2321 to move, the second slider 255 also moves along the second slide rail 254. In this way, the second slide rail 254 and the second slider 255 can guide the limiting mechanism 23 to drive the limiting plate 2321 to move along the second direction L2.

[0068] In the embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the clamping assembly 2 further includes two locking mechanisms 26, which are respectively arranged on the first lead screw 241 and the second lead screw 251, and the two locking mechanisms 26 can respectively apply force to the first lead screw 241 and the second lead screw 251 to lock the first lead screw 241 and the second lead screw 251. In this way, after the position of the limiting mechanism 23 and the abutting mechanism 22 is completed, the first lead screw 241 and the second lead screw 251 can be respectively locked by the two locking mechanisms 26, and at this time, the first lead screw 241 and the second lead screw 251 no longer rotate, and the first nut 242 and the second nut 252 no longer move.

The locking hole is connected to the outside of the locking block 261 through the locking gap, and the locking screw 262 passes through the parts of the locking block 261 located on both sides of the locking gap. The two locking blocks 261 can be fixed on the first support seat 243 and the second support seat 253 respectively.
