[0036] The first aspect of the present application provides a transport tool, thereby solving the problems in existing battery module transport methods, namely, the manual transport method has high safety risks, and the hoisting transport method is troublesome and the transport process is unstable.
[0037] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 3 The handling tools described in some embodiments of the present application are described in detail.
[0038] like Figure 1 The handling tool of the present application includes a first handle 100, a first handling member 300, a second handle 200, a second handling member 400 and a hinge structure 700. The first handle 100 and the first handling member 300 are cross-connected (preferably vertically connected), and the second handle 200 and the second handling member 400 are cross-connected (preferably vertically connected); a first fixing portion 303 is provided at the bottom of the first handling member 300, and a second fixing portion 403 is provided at the bottom of the second handling member 400, and the first fixing portion 303 and the second fixing portion 403 are arranged facing each other; the first handle 100 and the second handle 200 are hinged by the hinge structure 700, so that the first handling member 300 can rotate relative to the second handling member 400 with the axis of the hinge structure 700 as the center, so as to drive the first handling member 300 and the second handling member 400 to move closer to or away from each other.
[0039] According to the above technical features, the beneficial effects of this application are:
[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, when using the handling tool of the present application to carry a module (such as a battery module), first, two handling tools can be positioned at the two ends of the module respectively, then the handling tool is operated to fix the module, and finally the module is lifted for transportation. Specifically, first, the first fixing portion 303 and the second fixing portion 403 of the handling tool are positioned with the ends of the module, and after positioning, the first handle 100 and the second handle 200 are manually operated to drive the first handling member 300 and the second handling member 400 to approach each other under the action of the hinge structure 700, until the first fixing portion 303 and the second fixing portion 403 are firmly fixed with the ends of the module, and finally the module is lifted for transportation.
[0041] In summary, the present application uses a handling tool to handle the module. Compared with the existing technology, on the one hand, there is no need for manual lifting and transportation, and the safety risk is low; on the other hand, there is no need to cooperate with lifting equipment for transportation, and the transportation process is simple and stable.
[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, the hinge structure includes a first mounting portion, a stop pin, and a second mounting portion. The first mounting portion is disposed on the first of the first handle 100 and the second handle 200, and the second mounting portion is disposed on the second of the first handle 100 and the second handle 200; the stop pin 701 passes through the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion.
[0043] As an example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first mounting part can be two parallel guide rails 702, and the two parallel guide rails 702 are arranged at the end of the first handle 100; the second mounting part can be a triangular mounting plate 703, and the triangular mounting plate 703 is arranged on the top of the second handle 200; the mounting plate 703 is arranged between the two guide rails 702, and the limit pin 701 passes through the mounting plate 703 and the guide rail 702.
[0044] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the operation of the transport tool by the operator, for example, to facilitate the human hand to hold the first handle 100 and the second handle 200. In the embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, the end of the first handle 100 is connected to the head end of the first transport member 300, and the end of the second handle 200 is connected to the head end of the second transport member 400; the first handle 100 can be set at the top of the second handle 200, the guide rail 702 of the hinge structure 700 can be connected to the head end of the first handle 100, the mounting plate 703 of the hinge structure 700 can be connected to the end of the second handle 200, and the mounting plate 703 is connected to the top of the second handle 200.
[0045] In this way, when the operator operates manually, he can hold the middle of the first handle 100 and the second handle 200 with one hand or both hands at the same time, and under the action of the hinge structure 700, the first transport member 300 and the second transport member 400 are driven to approach each other.
[0046] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, the top of the first handle 100 may be in an arc structure (eg, a semicircular structure), and the bottom of the second handle 200 may be in an arc structure (eg, a semicircular structure). In this way, it is convenient for operators to hold the first handle 100 and the second handle 200 .
[0047] Further, in the embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the guide rail 702 may be provided with a limiting hole 7021, the limiting hole 7021 extends along the extension direction of the guide rail 702, and the limiting pin 701 and the mounting plate 703 can move along the limiting hole 7021. In this way, the first handle 100 (first transport member 300) and the second handle 200 (second transport member 400) can slide relative to each other to adjust the distance between the first handle 100 (first transport member 300) and the second handle 200 (second transport member 400).
[0048] When using the handling tool of the present application to carry a module (for example, a battery module), the first handle 100 or the second handle 200 can be slid through the limiting hole 7021 to adjust the distance between the first fixing portion 303 and the second fixing portion 403 (to adapt to the battery module 20) until the first fixing portion 303 and the second fixing portion 403 are positioned with the end of the battery module 20; then the middle of the first handle 100 and the second handle 200 can be held by one hand or both hands at the same time, and under the action of the hinge structure 700, the first handling member 300 and the second handling member 400 can be driven to approach each other until the first fixing portion 303 and the second fixing portion 403 fix the module, and finally the module is lifted and carried.
[0049] In this embodiment, the length (extended length) of the limiting hole 7021 is relatively small, which can ensure that when the two toolings move along the limiting hole 7021, the two toolings are prevented from being twisted and deformed.
[0050] Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, the handling tool may further include a first reinforcing plate 500 and / or a second reinforcing plate. The first reinforcing plate 500 and / or the second reinforcing plate are both triangular reinforcing plates, the first reinforcing plate 500 connects the first handle 100 and the first handling member 300; the second reinforcing plate connects the second handle 200 and the second handling member 400. In this way, the reinforcing plate can effectively improve the structural strength of the handle.
[0051] A second aspect of the present application provides a module transport device, comprising the transport tooling as described above.
[0052] See below for Figure 3 , describing in detail the state of the handling tool 10 of the present application when carrying the battery module 20.
[0053] The module handling device of the present application includes a battery module 20; both ends of the battery module 20 are provided with end plates 21; the end plates 21 are provided with a first hoisting portion 22 and a second hoisting portion 23. As an example, the first hoisting portion 22 and the second hoisting portion 23 both include hoisting through holes. When the handling tool 10 carries the battery module 20, the first fixing portion 303 cooperates with the first hoisting portion 22, and the second fixing portion 403 cooperates with the second hoisting portion 23.
[0054] Continue to see Figure 3 In the embodiment of the present application, the first fixing portion 303 and the second fixing portion 403 can both be hanging pins. Figure 1 As shown, the first fixing portion 303 includes a head end facing the second fixing portion 403 and a tail end facing away from the second fixing portion 403; the head end of the first fixing portion 303 is provided with a first guiding slope 3031, and the diameter of the first guiding slope 3031 gradually increases from the head end to the tail end of the first fixing portion 303. Similarly, the second fixing portion 403 includes a head end facing the first fixing portion 303 and a tail end facing away from the first fixing portion 303; the head end of the second fixing portion 403 is provided with a second guiding slope 4031, and the diameter of the second guiding slope 4031 gradually increases from the head end to the tail end of the second fixing portion 403.
[0055] In this embodiment, the first fixing portion 303 (hanging pin) and the second fixing portion 403 (hanging pin) have their own guiding structures, which can realize the rapid positioning of the handling tool 10 and the module.
[0056] In this embodiment, the first fixing portion 303 can be directly welded to the first transport plate, or screwed thereon by means of threaded engagement. Similarly, the second fixing portion 403 can be directly welded to the second transport plate, or screwed thereon by means of threaded engagement.
[0057] Continue to see Figure 1 and Figure 3In the embodiment of the present application, the first transport member 300 includes a first extension section 301 and a first bending section 302 connected to each other, and the second transport member 400 includes a second extension section 401 and a second bending section 402 connected to each other; relative to the first extension section 301, the first bending section 302 is bent toward the battery module 20; relative to the second extension section 401, the second bending section 402 is bent toward the battery module 20; the first extension section 301 and the first bending section 302 are at an obtuse angle, and the second extension section 401 and the second bending section 402 are at an obtuse angle. Such a design makes it convenient for people to hold the first handle 100 and the second handle 200.
[0058] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, a protective member is provided on one side of the first extension section 301 facing the battery module 20 and on one side of the second extension section 401 facing the battery module 20 . The hardness of the protective member is less than that of the battery module 20 .
[0059] In this embodiment, the protective member may be a buffer pad 600 . The buffer pad 600 is made of insulating material. On one hand, it plays an insulating role. On the other hand, it can prevent the handling tool 10 from colliding with the battery module 20 and thus damaging the end plate 21 .
[0060] To summarize, when using the handling tool 10 of the present application to carry the battery module 20, the first handle 100 or the second handle 200 can be slid through the limiting hole 7021 to adjust the distance between the first fixing portion 303 and the second fixing portion 403 (to adapt to the first lifting portion 22 and the second lifting portion 23 of the battery module 20) until the first fixing portion 303 and the second fixing portion 403 are positioned with the first lifting portion 22 and the second lifting portion 23 of the battery module 20; then the middle part of the first handle 100 and the second handle 200 can be held with one hand or both hands at the same time, and under the action of the hinge structure 700, the first handling member 300 and the second handling member 400 are driven to approach each other until the first fixing portion 303 and the second fixing portion 403 fix the module to achieve effective clamping and avoid falling off; finally, the module is lifted and carried.
[0061] In this embodiment, the end plates at both ends of the battery module are fixed and carried by a handling tool respectively. When the battery module is light and short, it can be quickly operated by one person; if the battery module is heavy and long, two people can operate it at the same time.
[0062] The handling tooling of the present application is simple in design, easy to operate, and low in cost. Moreover, the handling tooling is mainly made of steel structure, which meets the lifting strength requirements.
[0063] The present application uses a handling tool to carry the module. Compared with the existing technology, on the one hand, there is no need for manual lifting and carrying, and the safety risk is low; on the other hand, there is no need to cooperate with lifting equipment for carrying, and the carrying process is simple and stable.
[0064] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are only specific implementation methods of the present application, which are used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application rather than to limit them. The protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that any technician familiar with this technical field can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein; and these modifications, changes or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and should all be covered by the protection scope of the present application.
