[0006] In the above structure, since the upper baffle and the lower baffle have correspondingly arranged and penetrating battery positioning holes, and the two ends of the lower baffle pass through the supporting part and are supported on the first supporting holes of the two side plates, and can move in the horizontal direction, the battery positioning holes on the upper baffle and the lower baffle are misaligned in the horizontal direction, and form an approximately elliptical shape with a variable short axis size in the vertical direction; for batteries of different diameters, only the horizontal position of the lower baffle needs to be adjusted to meet the positioning requirements of cylindrical batteries of different diameters and perform positioning. During positioning, the bottom of the cylindrical battery is placed on the bottom plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the first supporting hole is a horizontally arranged strip hole, and a plurality of the first supporting holes are evenly distributed in the horizontal direction; the width of the supporting portion is smaller than the length of the first supporting hole, and the supporting portion can move horizontally along the length direction of the first supporting hole.

[0008] Furthermore, the other two opposite side panels have horizontally arranged strip-shaped clearance holes, the width of the strip-shaped clearance holes is greater than the thickness of the lower baffle plate, and the length is greater than the size of the lower baffle plate in the corresponding direction.

[0009] Furthermore, the first locking mechanism includes a spring arranged in the first supporting hole along the length direction, and the spring abuts against the supporting portion and the side walls of the first supporting hole, so that the two corresponding battery positioning holes on the upper baffle and the lower baffle move in the misalignment direction; the side plate or the bottom plate has a first adjusting bolt arranged along the length direction of the first supporting hole, and the first adjusting bolt abuts against the lower baffle and is used to move the lower baffle in the direction of compressing the spring.

[0010] In this way, by rotating the first adjusting bolt, the lower baffle can be pushed to move in the direction of the spring, and the position can be adjusted by compressing the spring, and the vertically overlapping approximately elliptical short axes of the two corresponding battery positioning holes will also be adjusted together.

[0011] Furthermore, one first adjusting bolt is provided and is located in the middle of the side plate at one end of the first supporting hole in the length direction.

[0012] In this way, the position of the lower baffle can be quickly adjusted by adjusting only a first adjusting bolt, making the adjustment more convenient.

[0013] Furthermore, at least two of the opposite side panels are provided with vertically arranged strip guide holes, and the upper baffle plate has guide blocks corresponding to the strip guide holes, and the guide blocks can be slidably engaged in the corresponding strip guide holes; a second locking mechanism is provided between the upper baffle plate and the side panel or the bottom panel.

[0014] In this way, the guide block on the upper baffle is matched with the vertically arranged strip guide hole, so that the height of the upper baffle can be adjusted vertically, thereby meeting the positioning requirements of cylindrical batteries of different heights.

[0015] Furthermore, the side plate has a vertically arranged give way groove, and the upper end of the give way groove has a threaded hole; the second locking mechanism is a second adjusting bolt installed vertically downward on the threaded hole, and the lower end of the second adjusting bolt is relatively rotatably connected to the upper baffle plate; at least four second adjusting bolts are distributed along the edge of the upper baffle plate, and the upper baffle plate is suspended on the second adjusting bolt.

[0016] Furthermore, the edge of the battery positioning hole is covered with a rubber ring.

[0017] Furthermore, a rubber pad is laid on the bottom plate.

[0018] In summary, the utility model has the advantages of reasonable structural design, being adaptable to cylindrical batteries of different models, and being conducive to reducing costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] In this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the first supporting hole 21 is a horizontally arranged strip hole, and a plurality of the holes are evenly distributed in the horizontal direction; the width of the supporting portion is smaller than the length of the first supporting hole 21, and the supporting portion can move horizontally along the length direction of the first supporting hole 21. The other two opposite side plates 2 have horizontally arranged strip holes, the width of which is larger than the thickness of the lower baffle plate 4, and the length of which is larger than the size of the lower baffle plate 4 in the corresponding direction.

[0025] like Figure 2As shown, the first locking mechanism 6 includes a spring 61 disposed along the length direction within the first supporting hole 21. The spring 61 abuts against the supporting portion and the side wall of the first supporting hole 21, causing the two corresponding battery positioning holes 5 on the upper baffle 3 and the lower baffle 4 to move in the misaligned direction. On the side plate 2 or the bottom plate 1, there is a first adjusting bolt 62 disposed along the length direction of the first supporting hole 21. The first adjusting bolt 62 abuts against the lower baffle 4 and is used to move the lower baffle 4 in the direction of compressing the spring 61. There is one first adjusting bolt 62, and it is located in the middle of the side plate 2 at one end of the length direction of the first supporting hole 21. As Figure 1 shown, at the strip-shaped relief hole, there is a mounting plate in a "ji" shape. The first adjusting bolt is disposed in the middle of the mounting plate, and the first adjusting bolt abuts against the lower baffle.

[0026] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, at least two opposite side plates 2 are provided with vertically disposed strip-shaped guiding holes 22 penetrating therethrough. The upper baffle 3 has guiding blocks corresponding to the strip-shaped guiding holes 22. The guiding blocks are slidably engaged within the corresponding strip-shaped guiding holes 22.

Meanwhile, to avoid damage to the surface of the battery by the battery positioning holes 5, the edges of the battery positioning holes 5 are coated with rubber rings.

[0028] In the above structure, since the upper baffle and the lower baffle have correspondingly arranged and penetrating battery positioning holes, and the two ends of the lower baffle pass through the supporting part and are supported on the first supporting holes of the two side plates, and can move in the horizontal direction, the battery positioning holes on the upper baffle and the lower baffle are misaligned in the horizontal direction, and form an approximately elliptical shape with a variable short axis size in the vertical direction; for batteries of different diameters, only the horizontal position of the lower baffle needs to be adjusted to meet the positioning requirements of cylindrical batteries of different diameters and perform positioning. During positioning, the bottom of the cylindrical battery is placed on the bottom plate.
