DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0029] The utility model provides a battery module injection molding rack and a battery module transfer rack to solve the problem that the battery module injection molding rack in the prior art has no positioning and buffering protection measures, which may cause damage to the battery module during transportation, and also requires the battery module to be unpacked and packed multiple times, which is inefficient and may also cause damage to the battery module.

[0030] For ease of understanding, the specific process in the embodiments of the present application is described below. Figures 1 to 3 A battery module injection molding material rack in the embodiment of the present application includes a material frame 1, a partition 2, a positioning component 3 and a buffer component 4; the material frame 1 is provided with a plurality of placement cavities 10 separated by a plurality of parallel partitions 2, and the placement cavities 10 are used to limit the left and right sides of the battery module 6; two positioning components 3 are arranged on both sides of the placement cavity 10 to limit the upper and lower sides of the battery module 6 respectively, wherein the positioning component 3 includes two relatively arranged fixed blocks 30, and the fixed block 30 is provided with a detachable positioning component 31 for limiting one end of the battery module.

[0031] Two groups of buffer components 4 are arranged on both sides of the placement cavity 10 to buffer the left and right positions of the battery module. The buffer components 4 include buffer strips arranged on both sides of the placement cavity 10; the material extraction ports 5 are opened at both ends of the material frame 1 and in the middle of each of the partitions 2, and the two adjacent material extraction ports 5 constitute a material extraction position for the material extraction robot to grab the material.

[0032] The battery module injection molding rack of the utility model uses the placement cavity 10 to cooperate with the positioning component 3 to limit and fix the battery module 6 on all sides, and uses the buffer component 4 to buffer and protect the shaking of the product during transportation, thereby ensuring stable transportation of the product. Secondly, by opening two adjacent material taking ports 5 to form a material taking position, it is convenient for the subsequent material taking robot to directly take out the battery module, so that the rack can be directly used in the automatic assembly line of the automobile, avoiding repeated unpacking and packing, and ensuring that the battery module is not damaged.

[0033] based on Figure 1 and 2 In this embodiment, the positioning components 3 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the battery module 6, and each of the positioning components 3 is composed of a fixed block and a positioning component 31; the positioning component 31 includes a limiting plate 310, and an upper surface of one side of the limiting plate 310 extends with an upwardly inclined inclined plate 311, and two relatively arranged positioning components 31 are respectively provided in the upper and lower sides of the placement cavity 10, so that the upper and lower sides of the battery module 6 can be limited by the L-shaped limiting member formed by the inclined plate 311 and the limiting plate 310, and the left and right sides of the battery module 6 are limited by the two sides of the placement cavity 10.

[0034] Specifically, the leftmost and rightmost battery modules 6 are limited on the left and right sides by the left side of the material frame 1 and the partition 2 and the right side of the material frame 1 and the partition 2 , while the other battery modules 6 are limited on the left and right sides by the two partitions 2 .

[0035] based on Figure 1 and Figure 3 and Figure 6 , buffer components are provided on both sides of the placement cavity 10 to prevent the battery module from shaking and being damaged during transportation, so two relatively arranged buffer bars 40 are provided on both sides of the placement cavity 10. The buffer bars 40 in this embodiment are divided into two types, one is attached to the leftmost and rightmost ends of the material frame, which is L-shaped, and the other is provided on the partition 2, which is in an inverted U-shape.

[0036] In actual use, the leftmost and rightmost battery modules 6 are buffered by an L-shaped and inverted U-shaped buffer strip, while the other battery modules 6 are buffered by two inverted U-shaped buffer strips.

[0037] The material of the buffer strip is sponge or TPU, and of course it can also be other materials, as long as it can play a buffering role.

[0038] Further, based on Figure 1 and 2 Each of the material frames 1 is provided with four card slots 11 at the top; and an adapter block 12 corresponding to the card slots 11 is provided at the bottom of the material frame 1. In this way, when multiple material frames 1 are stacked up and down, they can be quickly assembled through the card slots and the adapter blocks 12, with accurate positioning and no misplacement, thus meeting actual usage requirements.

[0039] Further, based on Figure 1 One corner of the material frame 1 is provided with an anti-stupid corner 13 which is different in shape from the other three corners. The anti-stupid corner can be used to quickly stack a plurality of material racks, which is convenient and labor-saving to operate and will not cause errors.

[0040] Further, based on Figure 1 The upper surface of the material frame 1 is provided with a sensing point 14 for the sensor to sense and identify the position of the material frame. In this way, when the material rack enters the assembly line of automatic automobile production, the manipulator assembly on the assembly line can ensure the position of the material rack through the position of the sensing point 14, so as to accurately grasp the battery module 6.

[0041] Furthermore, positive and negative pole markings are provided on both sides of the material frame 1 corresponding to each placement cavity to facilitate the correct placement of the battery module.

[0042] In actual use, multiple battery modules are first placed in the corresponding placement chambers, and then the battery modules are limited by the placement chambers 10 and the positioning components 3, and the buffer components 4 provide buffer protection during transportation to prevent the battery modules 6 from being damaged. When the material rack is transported to the right place, it can be directly placed on the production line, and then the subsequent manipulator can directly grab the battery through the two material extraction ports, thereby avoiding the reset and disassembly of the battery module, and the operation is convenient and labor-saving, meeting the actual use needs.

[0043] based on Figure 7 The utility model also discloses a battery module transfer rack, including a bracket 62; the bracket 62 is provided with a plurality of battery module injection molding racks 60 stacked up and down, the battery module injection molding racks 60 are equipped with battery modules 6, and the top battery module injection molding rack 60 is covered with a cover plate 61.

[0044] In actual use, firstly, multiple battery modules are placed in the battery module injection molding rack 60, and the positioning is performed by the placement cavity and the positioning component 3. The battery module injection molding rack 60 with multiple built-in battery modules is assembled according to the above steps, and then the multiple battery module injection molding racks 60 are stacked up and down on the bracket 62 in sequence. The bottom battery module injection molding rack 60 is limited on the bracket 62, and the bracket is provided with a corresponding card block, and then the cover plate 61 is installed on the top battery module injection molding rack 60.

[0045] The battery module transfer rack is then transported. During transportation, the position of the battery module is stable and firm, and there is a buffer component for buffering protection. When transported to the corresponding position, the robot directly places multiple battery modules through the opening into the automobile automatic assembly line for automatic installation. There is no need to disassemble and install them, which facilitates actual use and meets actual use needs.
