Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the related art, in a normal horizontal formation process, a V-shaped support is usually provided between two adjacent layers in a formation fixture. Before the formation is performed, an overhead crane is used to clamp the air bag on the battery to place the battery body on the V-shaped support. When the formation fixture is tightened and pressurized, the two adjacent layers are close to each other, and at this time the V-shaped support must completely wrap the battery placed thereon. After the formation is completed, the formation fixture is released, that is, the two adjacent layers are separated from each other, and the overhead crane is used again to clamp the air bag on the battery to remove the battery from the V-shaped support.

[0003] However, for batteries without air bags, since the overhead crane cannot remove the battery from the V-shaped support by clamping the air bag, not only will the formation equipment be unable to operate automatically, but manual intervention is also required to remove the battery from the V-shaped support.

[0063] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions 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 are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0064] In the present application, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "back", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "vertical", "horizontal", "lateral", "longitudinal" and the like indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. These terms are mainly used to better describe the present application and its embodiments, and are not used to limit the indicated devices, elements or components to have a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0065] In addition, some of the above terms may be used to express other meanings in addition to indicating orientation or positional relationship. For example, the term "on" may also be used to express a certain dependency or connection relationship in some cases. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of these terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0066] In addition, the terms "installed", "set", "provided with", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; it can be a mechanical connection, or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be an internal connection between two devices, elements, or components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0067] In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are mainly used to distinguish different devices, elements or components (the specific types and structures may be the same or different), and are not used to indicate or imply the relative importance and quantity of the indicated devices, elements or components. Unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0068] As described in the background technology of the present application, in the related art, in the normal horizontal formation process, a V-shaped support is usually provided between two adjacent layers in the formation fixture. Before forming, the air bag on the battery is clamped by a crane so that the battery body is placed on the V-shaped support, and when the formation fixture is closed and pressed, two adjacent layers are close to each other, and now the V-shaped support needs to fully wrap the battery placed thereon. After forming, the formation fixture is released, and the adjacent two layers are away from each other, and the air bag on the battery is clamped by a crane again so that the battery is taken away from the V-shaped support.

[0069] However, for batteries without air bags, since the overhead crane cannot remove the battery from the V-shaped support by clamping the air bag, not only will the formation equipment be unable to operate automatically, but manual intervention is also required to remove the battery from the V-shaped support. Manual operation greatly affects efficiency.

[0070] In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present application provides a supporting member to solve the problem in the related art that the equipment cannot run automatically and the efficiency is affected because the overhead crane cannot clamp the battery without the air bag.

[0071] The technical solution of the present application will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and drawings:

[0072] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the supporting member includes a supporting unit 12, and the supporting unit 12 includes a fixing portion 121 and a supporting portion 122. The supporting portion 122 is used to support the supported member 3, and the supporting portion 122 is a deformable flexible portion. The undeformed supporting portion 122 includes two side wall segments 1221 that are spaced apart and opposite to each other, and a bottom wall segment 1222 connected between the two side wall segments 1221 at the same end.

[0073] The fixing portion 121 is used to connect with the installation assembly so that the supporting unit 12 can be installed on the installation assembly. The fixing portion 121 is a hard portion, and two fixing portions 121 are provided. The two fixing portions 121 are respectively provided at one end of the two side wall sections 1221 away from the bottom wall section 1222.

[0074] In the present application, since the supporting unit 12 in the supporting member includes a supporting portion 122 and a fixing portion 121, and since the supporting portion 122 for supporting the supported member 3 is a deformable flexible portion, and the fixing portion 121 for connecting with the mounting assembly is a hard portion, the supporting unit 12 is connected to the mounting assembly through the fixing portion 121 as a hard portion, which can enhance the reliability of the connection between the supporting unit 12 and the mounting assembly, and further enhance the stability of the supporting unit 12 when installed on the mounting assembly. More importantly, when the supporting member in the present application is applied to a horizontal chemical formation process, the supporting unit 12 can be arranged between two adjacent layer plates. And the supporting unit 12 can be used to support batteries, that is, the supported part 3 is a battery. After the formation is completed, the supporting part 122 can be pushed to deform it and the battery supported on the supporting part 122 can be pushed to move. And with the continuous pushing of the supporting part 122, the battery on the supporting part 122 can be pushed beyond the two adjacent layer plates, that is, the pushed battery can protrude from the two adjacent layer plates. In this way, the battery can be removed from the supporting unit 12 by clamping the protruding part of the battery protruding from the two adjacent layer plates by an overhead crane, thereby not only enabling the formation equipment to operate automatically, but also eliminating the need for manual intervention, which is beneficial to improving efficiency and reducing the labor intensity of personnel.

[0075] As for the supported part 3, the supported part 3 can be any type of object, and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit this. In the embodiment of the present application, the supported part 3 is described by taking a battery as an example.

[0076] For the fixing portion 121, further, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fixing portion 121 includes a connected fixing section 1211 and a reinforcement section 1212 , the fixing section 1211 is used to be connected to the above-mentioned installation assembly, and the reinforcement section 1212 is extended on the wall surface of the side wall section 1221 .

[0077] Since the fixing portion 121 is disposed at one end of the side wall section 1221 away from the bottom wall section 1222, the fixing portion 121 is disposed at the opening of the supporting unit 12 for the supported component 3 to be moved out of the supporting unit 12. Since the supporting portion 122 is a flexible portion, the fixing portion 121 is configured as a hard portion, and the reinforcing section 1212 is extended along the wall surface of the side wall section 1221. In this way, the strength of the opening portion of the side wall section 1221 can be strengthened by the reinforcing section 1212, so that the portion is not easily deformed when the supporting portion 122 is pushed and deformed, and thus does not affect the supported component 3 from being moved out of the supporting unit 12. In addition, the fixing section 1211 facilitates the connection between the fixing portion 121 and the mounting assembly.

[0078] In other embodiments, the fixing portion 121 only includes the fixing section 1211. This configuration can simplify the structure of the fixing portion 121 and facilitate the processing of the fixing portion 121.

[0079] For the supporting member, in a preferred embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the two supporting units 12 integrally form a supporting member, and the two supporting units 12 share the same fixing section 1211. The two supporting units 12 integrally form a supporting member, which can reduce the number of fixing sections 1211, thereby facilitating the processing, manufacturing and installation of the supporting units 12 to a certain extent.

[0080] In other embodiments, one, three, four or more supporting units 12 integrally constitute a supporting member, and for a supporting member integrally constituted by three or more supporting units 12, each two adjacent supporting units 12 share a fixed section 1211. In this way, the number of supporting units 12 in the supporting member is set more flexibly, and can be determined according to actual use requirements, which will not be elaborated in detail in the embodiments of the present application.

[0081] Further, the fixing portion 121 is a polyethylene terephthalate fixing portion; and / or the supporting portion 122 is a nylon composite material supporting portion.

[0082] Since the fixing portion 121 is a polyethylene terephthalate fixing portion, the material of the fixing portion 121 is polyethylene terephthalate. Such a setting can make the fixing portion 121 have better shaping properties, and can ensure that the setting portion of the reinforcing section 1212 on the side wall section 1221 is not easy to deform, thereby ensuring that this portion will not affect the supported component 3 from being moved out of the supporting unit 12.

[0083] Since the supporting part 122 is a nylon composite material supporting part, the material of the supporting part 122 is nylon composite material. Such a configuration not only enables the supporting part 122 to have better deformability and ensures that the supported part 3 can be pushed by pushing the supporting part 122 to deform, but also enables the supporting part 122 to have a certain wear resistance, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the supporting part 122.

[0084] In the preferred combination of the fixing part 121 and the supporting part 122, the fixing part 121 is a polyethylene terephthalate fixing part, and the supporting part 122 is a nylon composite material supporting part. The thickness of the nylon composite material of the supporting part 122 is 0.25 mm, and the thickness of the polyethylene terephthalate of the fixing part 121 is 0.25 mm. Such an arrangement can not only further enhance the shaping property of the fixing part 121, that is, can further enhance the non-deformability of the fixing part 121, but also can further enhance the deformability of the supporting part 122.

[0085] In other combinations, the fixing part 121 is made of 0.1 mm thick Teflon, and the supporting part 122 is made of 0.1 mm thick silicone; or, the fixing part 121 is made of 0.1 mm thick DMD composite paper, and the supporting part 122 is made of 0.25 mm thick nylon composite material. The combination of the fixing part 121 and the supporting part 122 is flexible and can be determined according to actual use requirements.

[0086] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, the supporting portion 122 is V-shaped or U-shaped, and the depth direction of the V-shaped supporting portion 122 or the U-shaped supporting portion 122 is the first direction ( Figure 1 The reinforcing section 1212 is formed on the wall surface of the side wall section 1221 along the second direction ( Figure 1 The fixing section 1211 (in the B direction) extends from the fixing section 1211 close to the bottom wall section 1222.

[0087] The reinforcing section 1212 has a first end connected to the fixing section 1211 and a second end arranged away from the fixing section 1211 in the second direction, and a first distance a ( Figure 3 As shown), the first distance a is 10mm-20mm.

[0088] Setting the first distance a to 10mm-20mm can ensure that the reinforcement section 1212 has a sufficiently long extension length on the wall surface of the side wall section 1221, so that the strength of the opening portion of the side wall section 1221 can be further strengthened by the reinforcement section 1212, making it less likely to deform when the supporting portion 122 is pushed and deformed.

[0089] In a preferred embodiment, the material of the fixing portion 121 is polyethylene terephthalate, and the first distance a is 10 mm-20 mm. This arrangement can ensure that the reinforcing section 1212 can strengthen the opening portion of the side wall section 1221, thereby ensuring that the portion is not easily deformed when the supporting portion 122 is pushed and deformed.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present application, the first distance a can be 10 mm, 15 mm or 20 mm, etc. The size setting of the first distance a is relatively flexible, and can be specifically set according to actual use requirements, which is not elaborated in detail in the embodiment of the present application.

[0091] In other embodiments, depending on the material of the reinforcing section 1212, the first distance a can also be a value range other than 10mm-20mm. For example, when the material of the reinforcing section 1212 is DMD composite paper, the first distance a can also be 6mm-12mm, which will not be elaborated in detail in the embodiments of the present application.

[0092] As for the shape of the supporting portion 122 , in a preferred embodiment, the supporting portion 122 is V-shaped. With such a configuration, when the supporting member is used in a formation process, the interference between the supporting portion 122 and the layer plates on both sides thereof can be reduced to a certain extent, thereby facilitating extending the service life of the supporting unit 12 .

[0093] Regarding the second direction, it should be explained that when the supporting portion 122 is V-shaped, Figure 2 As shown, since the two side wall segments 1221 gradually approach the bottom wall segment 1222 in the first direction, the second direction can be Figure 1 The B1 direction in Figure 1 The B2 direction in the diagram.

[0094] Furthermore, the supported member 3 supported by the supporting portion 122 has a close end disposed close to the fixing section 1211, and a second distance b ( Figure 3 As shown), the second distance b is greater than or equal to the first distance a.

[0095] The second distance b is set to be greater than or equal to the first distance a, so that when the supporting member is used in the formation process, it is beneficial to ensure that the supporting portion 122 can at least wrap around three sides of the battery, thereby basically ensuring the progress of the battery formation process.

[0096] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, the supported component 3 has a first dimension h in the first direction, and the supporting unit 12 has a dimensional relationship constant k, and the dimensional relationship constant k = (ba) / h, wherein a is the first distance, b is the second distance, h is the first dimension, and the first dimension h is greater than or equal to the first distance a, and the value range of the dimensional relationship constant k is 0.03-2.

[0097] Such a configuration can not only effectively prevent the untimely flange formation of the supporting portion 122 during the deformation of the pushing supporting portion 122, but also effectively ensure the rapid restoration of the supporting portion 122 after deformation. In addition, while saving the manufacturing material of the supporting unit 12, it can also greatly improve the efficiency of restraint and clamping of the supporting member 3.

[0098] In a preferred embodiment, the dimensional relationship constant k=(ba) / h=(25-15) / 98=0.1, that is, in a preferred embodiment, the second distance b is 25mm, the first distance a is 15mm, and the first dimension h is 98mm. In this way, it is not only possible to further effectively prevent the untimely flanging of the supporting portion 122 during the deformation of the top-pushing supporting portion 122, but also possible to further effectively ensure the rapid reset of the supporting portion 122 after deformation. In addition, it is also beneficial to further save the manufacturing materials of the supporting unit 12, and can further significantly improve the efficiency of the restraint and clamping of the supported member 3.

[0099] In other embodiments, when there are different second distances b, first distances a and first dimensions h, the dimension relationship constant k may also have different values, such as 0.03, 2 or 1.2, etc. The specific value of the dimension relationship constant k is relatively flexible and can be determined specifically according to actual conditions, and the embodiments of the present application will not be elaborated on in detail.

[0100] The present application also provides a clamp 100, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the clamp 100 includes a clamping mechanism 1, which includes a supporting member, at least two Figure 4 The clamping members 11 are arranged at intervals (in the X direction) and the supporting members have the same structure as any of the supporting members in the above embodiments and can bring the same or similar beneficial effects. For details, please refer to the description in the above embodiments, which will not be repeated in this embodiment. A supporting unit 12 ( Figure 1 As shown), two adjacent clamping members 11 are used to clamp or release the supported member 3 when they are close to each other.

[0101] Two adjacent clamping members 11 are the above-mentioned installation components, and the two fixing portions 121 are respectively connected to the two adjacent clamping members 11 .

[0102] In the present application, the supporting unit 12 is connected to two adjacent clamping members 11 through a fixing portion 121 as a hard portion, which can enhance the reliability of the connection between the supporting unit 12 and the two adjacent clamping members 11, and further enhance the stability of the supporting unit 12 when installed between the two adjacent clamping members 11. More importantly, when the supporting member in the present application is applied to a horizontal formation process, the supporting unit 12 can be arranged between two adjacent layer plates, and the supporting unit 12 can be used to support a battery, that is, the clamping member 11 is a layer plate, the supported member 3 is a battery, and the formation process After the bundle is bundled, the supporting part 122 can be pushed to deform so that the battery supported on the supporting part 122 can be pushed to move, and with the continuous pushing of the supporting part 122, the battery on the supporting part 122 can be pushed beyond the two adjacent layer plates, that is, the pushed battery can protrude from the two adjacent layer plates, so that the battery can be removed from the supporting unit 12 by clamping the protruding part of the battery protruding from the two adjacent layer plates by the overhead crane, thereby not only enabling the automatic operation of the formation equipment, but also eliminating the need for manual intervention, which is beneficial to improving efficiency and reducing the labor intensity of personnel.

[0103] Regarding the installation component, in other embodiments, when the supporting member is applied to other equipment, the installation component can also be any other form of installation structure such as a mounting frame or a mounting block. The structural form of the installation component is relatively flexible. Specifically, it can be selected according to actual usage requirements. The embodiments of the present application will not elaborate on this.

[0104] As for the clamping member 11, in a preferred embodiment, the clamping member 11 is a clamping plate. Such a configuration enables the clamping member 11 to clamp the supported member 3 with its plate surface, thereby facilitating the clamping member 11 from damaging the battery.

[0105] In other embodiments, the clamping member 11 may further include a plurality of Figure 4 When the clamping member 11 clamps the supported member 3, the rods jointly clamp the supported member 3. Such an arrangement is conducive to reducing the weight of the clamping member 11 to a certain extent, thereby facilitating the lightweight design of the clamp 100.

[0106] As for the number of the clamping members 11, in the embodiment of the present application, the number of the clamping members 11 is much more than two, and the number of the clamping members 11 can be ten, fifteen or more, and a supporting unit 12 is provided between each two adjacent clamping members 11, that is, the number of the supporting units 12 is one less than the number of the clamping members 11. With such a configuration, the clamp 100 can clamp multiple batteries for formation at the same time, which is conducive to improving work efficiency.

[0107] In other embodiments, two clamping members 11 may also be provided, in which case there is only one supporting unit 12. Such a configuration can simplify the structure of the clamp 100, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0108] Regarding the clamping member 11 clamping the supported member 3, in a preferred embodiment, two adjacent clamping members 11 are used to clamp the supported member 3 when they are close to each other. In this way, it is not necessary to set a special structure on the supported member 3 to achieve the clamping of the supported member 3 by the two adjacent clamping members 11, thereby simplifying the structure of the supported member 3 and facilitating the processing of the supported member 3.

[0109] In another embodiment, two adjacent clamping members 11 are used to release the supported member 3 when they are close to each other. Specifically, the supported member 3 is provided with ferrules respectively sleeved on the two adjacent clamping members 11. When the two adjacent clamping members 11 are away from each other, they can respectively press against the inner sides of the two ferrules to clamp the supported member 3. When the two adjacent clamping members 11 are close to each other, they can respectively break away from the inner sides of the two ferrules to release the supported member 3. Such a configuration facilitates the clamping of the supported member 3 by the two adjacent clamping members 11 to a certain extent.

[0110] Regarding the driving structure for driving the clamping members 11 to approach each other in the clamping mechanism 1, the driving structure may be the same as the corresponding driving structure for driving the clamping blocks to approach each other in the battery clamp with variable spacing and the battery equipped with the clamp disclosed in the Chinese invention patent application with application publication number CN114552033A, and since the driving structure is a prior art, it will not be elaborated on in detail in the embodiments of the present application.

[0111] Regarding the connection between the fixing section 1211 and the clamping member 11, in a preferred embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of first positioning holes 12111 are arranged in an array on the fixing section 1211, and a plurality of second positioning holes corresponding to the first positioning holes 12111 are arranged on the clamping member 11. By inserting the airbag plug into the first positioning holes 12111 and the corresponding second positioning holes, the connection between the fixing section 1211 and the clamping member 11 can be realized, and then the connection of the supporting unit 12 on the clamping member 11 can be realized. Such a configuration can not only ensure the reliability of the connection between the fixing section 1211 and the clamping member 11, but also facilitate the connection between the fixing section 1211 and the clamping member 11 to a certain extent.

[0112] In other embodiments, the fixing section 1211 and the clamping member 11 may also be connected by means of latches, screws or bonding. The connection method between the fixing section 1211 and the clamping member 11 is relatively flexible and can be specifically determined according to actual usage requirements. This embodiment of the present application will not be elaborated on in detail.

[0113] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, the clamp further includes a pushing mechanism 2, which is used to push the supported member 3 along a fourth direction ( Figure 4 The supporting portion 122 is pushed to deform (in the Y direction) to push the supported component 3 supported on the supporting portion 122, so that the supported component 3 exceeds two adjacent clamping components 11.

[0114] By providing the pushing mechanism 2, it is convenient to push the supporting part 122 along the fourth direction, which is beneficial to reducing labor intensity and improving production efficiency.

[0115] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the second direction is a direction perpendicular to the first direction.

[0116] With such arrangement, when the pushing mechanism 2 pushes the supported member 3 to move, the risk of interference between the supported member 3 and the clamping member 11 can be reduced, thereby helping to reduce the risk of damage to the supported member 3.

[0117] In other embodiments, the angle between the first direction and the second direction may be an acute angle or an obtuse angle. Such an arrangement can facilitate the arrangement of the pushing direction of the pushing mechanism 2 to a certain extent.

[0118] In a preferred embodiment, a buffer pad 13 is provided on both sides of the clamping member 11 in the third direction. Figure 6 shown).

[0119] With such arrangement, when the clamping member 11 clamps the supported member 3 , the buffer pad 13 can be used to buffer and reduce pressure, thereby helping to prevent the clamping member 11 from clamping and damaging the supported member 3 .

[0120] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the buffer pad 13 is fixed to the clamping member 11 by magnetic attraction.

[0121] Such a configuration facilitates the installation and removal of the buffer pad 13 on the clamping member 11 , which is beneficial to improving the efficiency of the installation and removal of the buffer pad 13 .

[0122] In other embodiments, the buffer pad 13 can also be fixed to the clamping member 11 by bonding, clamping or bolting. The fixing method of the buffer pad 13 on the clamping member 11 is relatively flexible. Specifically, it can be determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiments of the present application will not be elaborated on this.

[0123] Furthermore, a ferromagnetic component is disposed on one of the buffer pad 13 and the clamping component 11 , and a magnetic component 16 magnetically connected to the ferromagnetic component is disposed on the other one.

[0124] Such a configuration not only ensures that the buffer pad 13 is magnetically fixed on the clamping member 11, but also eliminates the need to configure one of the buffer pad 13 and the clamping member 11 as a ferromagnetic member as a whole, which helps to reduce costs.

[0125] In a preferred embodiment, the magnetic member 16 is a soft magnetic strip, the buffer pad 13 is a silicone pad, and Figure 6 As shown, the magnetic member 16 is disposed on the buffer pad 13 , the ferromagnetic member is a steel bar, and the ferromagnetic member is disposed on the clamping member 11 .

[0126] Since the clamping member 11 is a clamping plate and the buffer pad 13 is a silicone pad, the texture of the clamping member 11 is harder than that of the buffer pad 13 to a certain extent. In this way, setting the soft magnetic strip on the buffer pad 13 and setting the steel strip on the clamping member 11 can not only realize the magnetic fixation of the buffer pad 13 on the clamping member 11, but also the steel strip will not affect the buffering decompression of the buffer pad 13.

[0127] Setting the magnetic member 16 as a soft magnetic strip is conducive to reducing the influence of the magnetic member 16 on the buffering and decompression of the buffer pad 13. Since steel is a metal material with high magnetism, compared with some other materials, the steel strip can generate a stronger magnetic field attraction, making the magnetic attraction effect more obvious, so setting the ferromagnetic member as a steel strip is conducive to enhancing the magnetic attraction effect between the magnetic member 16 and the ferromagnetic member, and is conducive to preventing the buffer pad 13 from shaking.

[0128] In other embodiments, the magnetic member 16 may also be a magnet or an electromagnet. The type of the magnetic member 16 is relatively flexible and may be selected according to actual usage requirements. This embodiment of the present application will not be elaborated in detail.

[0129] In other embodiments, the ferromagnetic piece may also be an iron bar. Since the magnetic attraction performance of iron is relatively stable and is not easily affected by environmental factors such as temperature and humidity, the ferromagnetic piece is set as an iron bar, so that the buffer pad 13 and the clamping member 11 can maintain a stable magnetic attraction effect, which is conducive to preventing the buffer pad 13 from shaking.

[0130] In other embodiments, the buffer pad 13 may also be a rubber pad or a sponge pad. The type of the buffer pad 13 is flexible and may be selected according to actual usage requirements.

[0131] like Figure 7 As shown, a connecting structure 14 is connected between two buffer pads 13 provided on the same clamping member 11 . The connecting structure 14 is connected between the same-direction ends of the two buffer pads 13 . The connecting structure 14 is connected to the clamping member 11 .

[0132] With such arrangement, the buffer pad 13 is fixed to the clamp 11 by magnetic attraction, and is connected to the clamp 11 by the connecting structure 14, which can further enhance the reliability of fixing the buffer pad 13 on the clamp 11 and further prevent the buffer pad 13 from shaking.

[0133] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the connection structure 14 includes a connection section 141 and a plurality of third positioning holes 142 arranged in an array on the connection section 141, wherein the connection section 141 is connected between the ends of the two buffer pads 13 in the same direction, and each third positioning hole 142 corresponds to each first positioning hole 12111 on the fixing section 1211 and each second positioning hole on the clamping member 11 one by one, and the connection of the connection structure 14 and the clamping member 11 can be realized by plugging the airbag into the corresponding first positioning hole 12111, the second positioning hole and the third positioning hole 142. Such a setting can not only ensure the reliability of the connection between the connection structure 14 and the clamping member 11, but also facilitate the connection between the connection structure 14 and the clamping member 11 to a certain extent.

[0134] In other embodiments, the connection structure 14 may only include the connection section 141, and the connection section 141 is bonded and connected to the clamping member 11. Such a configuration can not only ensure the reliability of the connection between the connection structure 14 and the clamping member 11, but also simplify the specific structure of the connection structure 14, which is conducive to facilitating the processing of the connection structure 14.

[0135] like Figure 8 As shown, the pushing mechanism 2 includes a pushing member 21, and a pushing member 21 is used to push and support a supporting portion 122, such as Fig. 9 As shown, the pushing member 21 has a pushing end 211 for extending into between two adjacent clamping members 11 , and a chamfer 212 is provided on the pushing end 211 .

[0136] Since the buffer pad 13 is fixed to the clamp 11 by magnetic attraction, it is easy to detach from the clamp 11 due to contact interference. Therefore, providing a chamfer 212 at the pushing end 211 is helpful to avoid contact interference between the pushing end 211 and the buffer pad 13, thereby ensuring the reliability of the buffer pad 13 being fixed on the clamp 11.

[0137] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 8As shown, the pushing mechanism 2 also includes a mounting frame 22 and a driving member 23, and a plurality of pushing members 21 are provided, each of which is provided on the mounting frame 22, and the output end of the driving member 23 is connected to the mounting frame 22, so that the driving member 23 can drive the pushing member 21 to push the supported member 3 supported on the supporting unit 12 by driving the mounting frame 22 to move, and in the embodiment of the present application, the driving member 23 can be one of a motor, a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. In this way, each pushing member 21 can be driven to move by one driving member 23, which not only facilitates the driving of each pushing member 21 by the driving member 23, but also reduces the number of driving members 23, which is conducive to reducing costs.

[0138] like Figure 8 As shown, the pushing mechanism 2 is used for the positive direction ( Figure 8 The supporting part 122 is pushed in the Y1 direction. At least one of the two adjacent clamping members 11 is provided with a guide member 15 ( Fig.10 As shown), the guide member 15 is arranged on the positive side of the fourth direction of the clamping member 11, and the guide member 15 is used to guide the supported member 3 to move along the fourth direction when the pushing mechanism 2 pushes the supported member 3.

[0139] Since the supported member 3 is easily affected by the action of the clamping member 11 and tilted at a certain angle, guiding the supported member 3 to move along the fourth direction by the guide member 15 is helpful to avoid the supported member 3 from tilting. This is not only helpful to avoid the clamping member 11 from scratching the supported member 3, but also helpful to ensure the accuracy of the position of the supported member 3 exceeding the clamping member 11, and further helpful to ensure the accurate clamping of the supported member 3 by the overhead crane.

[0140] Further, in a preferred embodiment, one of the two adjacent clamping members 11 is a first clamping member, and a guide member 15 is provided on the first clamping member. Fig.10 As shown, the third direction ( Fig.10 The two protrusions 151 are provided on both sides of the first clamping member (in the X direction), and the two protrusions 151 are arranged to protrude back to back along the third direction, and the two protrusions 151 are respectively used to guide and contact with the two supported members 3 on both sides of the first clamping member.

[0141] By having two protrusions 151 on a guide member 15 contact the guides of the two supported members 3 respectively, the guide member 15 can simultaneously guide the two supported members 3 to move along the fourth direction, thereby reducing the number of guide members 15 set, which is beneficial to simplifying the structure of the clamp 100 and facilitating the processing and manufacturing of the clamp 100.

[0142] In other embodiments, the guide member 15 has a protrusion 151 protruding along the third direction. In this case, two adjacent clamping members 11 are each provided with a guide member 15, that is, the two adjacent clamping members 11 are both first clamping members. Such a configuration is helpful to simplify the structure of the guide member 15 to a certain extent and facilitate the processing of the guide member 15.

[0143] The present application also provides a formation device 1000, such as Fig.11 As shown, the formation equipment 1000 includes a clamp 100, which has the same structure as any of the clamps 100 in the above embodiments and can bring the same or similar beneficial effects.

[0144] In the present application, the supporting unit 12 is connected to two adjacent clamping members 11 through a fixing portion 121 as a hard portion, which can enhance the reliability of the connection between the supporting unit 12 and the two adjacent clamping members 11, and further enhance the stability of the supporting unit 12 when installed between the two adjacent clamping members 11. More importantly, when the supporting member in the present application is applied to a horizontal formation process, the supporting unit 12 can be arranged between two adjacent layer plates, and the supporting unit 12 can be used to support a battery, that is, the clamping member 11 is a layer plate, the supported member 3 is a battery, and the formation process After the bundle is bundled, the supporting part 122 can be pushed to deform so that the battery supported on the supporting part 122 can be pushed to move, and with the continuous pushing of the supporting part 122, the battery on the supporting part 122 can be pushed beyond the two adjacent layer plates, that is, the pushed battery can protrude from the two adjacent layer plates, so that the battery can be removed from the supporting unit 12 by clamping the protruding part of the battery protruding from the two adjacent layer plates by the overhead crane, thereby not only enabling the automatic operation of the formation equipment, but also eliminating the need for manual intervention, which is beneficial to improving efficiency and reducing the labor intensity of personnel.

[0145] The present application also provides a battery production system, such as Fig.12 As shown, the battery production system includes a formation device 1000, which has the same structure as any of the formation devices 1000 in the above embodiments and can bring the same or similar beneficial effects. For details, please refer to the description in the above embodiments, which will not be repeated in this embodiment.

[0146] In the present application, the supporting unit 12 is connected to two adjacent clamping members 11 through a fixing portion 121 as a hard portion, which can enhance the reliability of the connection between the supporting unit 12 and the two adjacent clamping members 11, and further enhance the stability of the supporting unit 12 when installed between the two adjacent clamping members 11. More importantly, when the supporting member in the present application is applied to a horizontal formation process, the supporting unit 12 can be arranged between two adjacent layer plates, and the supporting unit 12 can be used to support a battery, that is, the clamping member 11 is a layer plate, the supported member 3 is a battery, and the formation process After the bundle is bundled, the supporting part 122 can be pushed to deform so that the battery supported on the supporting part 122 can be pushed to move, and with the continuous pushing of the supporting part 122, the battery on the supporting part 122 can be pushed beyond the two adjacent layer plates, that is, the pushed battery can protrude from the two adjacent layer plates, so that the battery can be removed from the supporting unit 12 by clamping the protruding part of the battery protruding from the two adjacent layer plates by the overhead crane, thereby not only enabling the automatic operation of the formation equipment, but also eliminating the need for manual intervention, which is beneficial to improving efficiency and reducing the labor intensity of personnel.
