When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present utility model.

[0028] The present invention provides a battery fastening mechanism 20, which can be used in a conveying system 100, a welding process or other occasions where batteries need to be fixed. Figures 1 to 5 The battery fastening mechanism 20 includes a base 1 and two fastening components 2, one of the two fastening components 2 is arranged at one end of the base 1, and the other is arranged at the other end of the base 1. A discharge position for placing the battery is formed between the two fastening components 2, and the two fastening components 2 can synchronously hold or release the battery.

[0029] Among them, the fastening assembly 2 includes a base 3, a fastening member 4 and a pushing member 5. The base 3 is installed at one end of the base 1, the fastening member 4 is rotatably connected to the end of the base 3 away from the base 1, and the pushing member 5 is slidably connected to the base 3. The pushing member 5 and the fastening member 4 are slidably matched, and the pushing member 5 is used to drive the fastening member 4 to rotate.

[0030] Based on the above-mentioned scheme, the pushing member 5 and the fastening member 4 are slidably matched. The pushing member 5 drives the fastening member 4 to rotate during the sliding process in the vertical direction, so as to fasten or release the battery. The overall structure is simple and the matching method is effective, thereby greatly simplifying the structure of the fastening component 2. In the process of fixing or releasing the battery, all the pushing members 5 can be driven to slide synchronously by an external power source. In this way, under the action of an external power source, a single battery or more than one battery can be fixed or released, which greatly reduces the power cost. In addition, the fastening component 2 fixes the battery firmly, effectively preventing the battery from shaking during transportation, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of transporting the battery.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The pushing member 5 is provided with a pushing portion 51, and the pushing portion 51 has a sliding hole 511, which is arranged in a long arc shape. The fastening member 4 has a matching portion 411, which extends into the sliding hole 511 and slidably matches with the hole wall of the sliding hole 511.

[0032] The pushing member 5 slides in the vertical direction and drives the pushing portion 51 to move during the sliding process. During this process, the hole wall of the sliding hole 511 applies a force to the matching portion 411, so that the matching portion 411 slides in the direction defined by the sliding hole 511, thereby driving the fastening member 4 to rotate around the hinge point between the base 3, thereby realizing the fastening member 4 fastening or releasing the battery.

[0033] Such an arrangement greatly simplifies the structure of the fastening assembly 2 and also saves power costs. The matching method is simple and effective, which helps to improve the performance of the battery fastening mechanism 20.

[0034] There are two pushers 51, two matching parts 411, and the fastening member 4 is disposed between the two pushers 51. The matching parts 411 are located on both sides of the fastening member 4 and are matched with the two pushers 51 in a one-to-one manner. The two pushers 51 are matched with the two matching parts 411 in a one-to-one manner, thereby enhancing the matching strength between the pusher 5 and the fastening member 4, so that the pusher 5 can stably drive the fastening member 4 to rotate during the sliding process, effectively avoiding the problem of shaking or poor rotation of the fastening member 4 during the rotation process, thereby improving the fastening effect of the fastening member 4 on the battery, thereby greatly ensuring the effect and efficiency of transporting the battery during the transportation process.

[0035] The slide hole 511 has a locking section 5111 and a release section 5112, and the locking section 5111 and the release section 5112 are arranged at an obtuse angle. When the matching portion 411 slides into the locking section 5111, the fastening member 4 fastens the battery; when the matching portion 411 slides into the release section 5112, the fastening member 4 releases the battery, and the pushing portion 51 drives the matching portion 411 to switch between the locking section 5111 and the release section 5112. By limiting the angle relationship between the locking section 5111 and the release section 5112, the matching portion 411 can switch smoothly between the locking section 5111 and the release section 5112, avoiding the dead angle between the locking section 5111 and the release section 5112, which causes the matching portion 411 to be unable to slide in the slide hole 511, thereby greatly improving the matching effect between the pushing member 5 and the fastening member 4.

[0036] It is understandable that when the matching portion 411 slides into the locking section 5111 and slides to the end of the sliding hole 511, the pushing member 5 maintains an upward movement trend, which can limit the movement of the matching portion 411, thereby ensuring that the fastening member 4 can stably fasten the battery.

[0037] The sliding hole 511 has a driving long surface 5113, which is arranged in an arc shape, and the matching portion 411 is a roller, which slides with the driving long surface 5113. When the pusher 5 moves downward, the driving long surface 5113 rolls with the roller, and the driving long surface 5113 guides the roller to roll, so that the roller can slide smoothly from the locking section 5111 to the release section 5112. Such a setting greatly improves the release fluency of the pusher 5 to the fastening member 4, so that the fastening member 4 can smoothly release the battery, thereby better improving production efficiency.

[0038] In other embodiments, the matching portion 411 may also be a structure such as a shaft or a rod.

[0039] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 5 The end of the pusher 5 away from the base 3 is provided with a connecting portion 52, and the connecting portion 52 is used to connect with an external driving device. In this way, the external driving device can synchronously operate multiple sets of fastening components 2 to fix or release the battery, so there is no need to set multiple power sources to drive the corresponding fastening components 2 to work, thereby improving the power driving method and greatly reducing the production cost.

[0040] The connecting portion 52 may be a hook or a connecting handle, or may be other structures that can be connected to an external driving device, and the external driving device may be a cylinder or a manipulator.

[0041] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 5 The fastening member 4 includes a mounting body 41, a holding body 42 and an elastic member 43. The mounting body 41 is rotatably connected to the base 3. The holding body 42 is connected to the mounting body 41 through a guide column assembly. The elastic member 43 is arranged between the mounting body 41 and the holding body 42. One end of the elastic member 43 abuts against the mounting body 41, and the other end abuts against the holding body 42. The mounting body 41 is used to drive the holding body 42 to hold the battery.

[0042] Such arrangement enables the battery to be elastically pressed during the process of fastening the battery, and effectively reduces excessive pressing on the battery while ensuring that the battery is firmly fastened, thereby reducing damage to the battery and thus reducing damage to the battery during transportation.

[0043] The elastic member 43 may be a spring or other elastic structural member.

[0044] Continue to refer to Figures 1 to 5 The fastening assembly 2 further includes a positioning member 6, which is mounted on the base 3 and disposed between the fastening member 4 and the base 3. The positioning member 6 is used to position and limit the battery. It can be understood that the positioning members 6 of the two fastening assemblies 2 respectively position the two sides of the battery at both ends, so that the battery can be positioned at the discharge position. Such a setting can improve the efficiency of fixing the battery, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0045] The positioning member 6 may include two positioning blocks 61, both of which are installed on the base 3, and both of which are provided with positioning grooves 611, and the two positioning grooves 611 are arranged opposite to each other, one of the two positioning grooves 611 is used to position an edge on one side of the battery, and the other of the two positioning grooves 611 is used to position the other edge on one side of the battery.

[0046] The positioning member 6 may also be other structural members that have the function of positioning the side or edge of the battery, which is not specifically limited here.

[0047] The battery fastening mechanism 20 also includes a support 7, which is arranged on the discharge position and fixedly connected to the base 1. The end of the support 7 away from the base 1 is provided with a protection groove 71, and the protection groove 71 is used to accommodate the battery pole. The protection groove 71 on the support 7 protects the battery pole, effectively avoiding the battery pole from colliding with other structures during transportation, preventing battery damage, and thus greatly improving the reliability of transporting batteries.

[0048] It is understandable that the protection groove 71 can also be used to accommodate the protection cover of the pole, which can play a double role in protecting the battery pole and greatly improve the safety of transporting the battery.

[0049] The support 7 is also provided with a limiting groove 72, which is used to limit the top cover part of the battery, thereby achieving the purpose of limiting the battery, thus ensuring that the battery is further firmly placed on the discharge material, and improving the safety and reliability of transporting the battery.

[0050] The utility model also provides a conveying system 100, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The conveying system 100 includes a conveying line 10 and a battery fastening mechanism 20. The conveying line 10 is used to convey the battery fastening mechanism 20. There are many ways for the conveying line 10 to convey the battery fastening mechanism 20, such as conveying the battery fastening mechanism 20 by magnetic levitation or a linear motor.

[0051] The conveying line 10 may be a mechanism with a conveying function such as a magnetic suspension module or a linear motor conveying module.

[0052] The specific structure of the battery fastening mechanism 20 refers to the above-mentioned embodiments. Since the conveying system 100 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above-mentioned embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be described one by one here.

[0053] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
