[0019] The technical solution of the utility model is further specifically described below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Example
[0020] A linkage tray includes a tray 1 with a through slot and a connecting rod assembly 2. A latch 3 is designed on the top of the tray 1. The size and shape of the latch 3 are carefully designed to accommodate batteries of different sizes and models. The latch 3 can not only ensure the stability of the battery during the formation process, but also effectively limit the position between the battery and the tray 1, thereby reducing the risk of damage caused by friction. In addition, the material selection of the tray 1 also takes into account corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance to adapt to various environmental conditions that may occur during the battery formation process.
[0021] The link assembly 2 is another key part of the linkage tray of the present application, and a conductive block 4 is provided on the top of the link assembly 2. The shape of the conductive block 4 is designed to perfectly match the interface mechanism at both ends of the external battery, so that during the battery formation process, adjacent batteries can be reliably connected in series through the conductive block 4 to achieve correct connection of the positive and negative electrodes. The battery is a battery to be formed without electrical energy, and the card position 3 on the tray 1 is used to accommodate the battery to be formed.
[0022] More importantly, the design of the conductive block 4 fully considers the heat problem that may be generated during the battery formation process. By optimizing the material and structure of the conductive block 4, the heat generated during the battery formation process can be effectively dispersed, thereby avoiding damage to the battery or affecting the performance of the battery due to excessive temperature. At the same time, the surface treatment of the conductive block 4 is also very critical, and the selected materials and processes can ensure the stability of the conductive performance and long-term corrosion resistance. The conductive block 4 uses metal conductive materials such as copper, silver, aluminum and iron, which not only ensures good electrical conductivity, but also has high mechanical strength and durability. The shape of the conductive block 4 is matched with the mechanism at both ends of the adjacent battery, which can connect the positive and negative poles of the adjacent batteries in series, and the clamping position 3 is used for the tray 1 to better accommodate and limit the battery.
[0023] In addition, the design of the tray 1 also takes into account the convenience of use and maintenance. The through slots provided on the tray 1 not only facilitate the placement and removal of the battery, but also facilitate the cleaning and maintenance of the tray 1. At the bottom of the tray 1, the designer also cleverly set drainage holes to prevent moisture accumulation during the cleaning process. The design of these details reflects in-depth consideration of the product's service life and safety. In short, the linkage tray of this application not only improves the efficiency and safety of the battery formation process through unique design and material selection, but also extends the service life of the battery.
[0024] The connecting rod assembly 2 includes a first connecting rod 21 vertically arranged in the through groove, a second connecting rod 22 horizontally arranged in the through groove and a third connecting rod 23 arranged on one side of the tray 1, which are connected in sequence. The third connecting rod 23 is provided with a spring 5, and the spring 5 is arranged above the fixed block 7. A fastening screw 6 is provided above the spring 5. The fastening screw 6 is installed on the third connecting rod 3 to control the spring 5 at a required height. The spring 5 is used to control the upward movement of the connecting rod. The lower end of the spring 5 is the fixed block 7 of the tray 1, and the upper end is the fastening screw 6, which together limit the movement of the spring 5.
[0025] The first link 21 is vertically arranged in the through slot of the tray 1. It is the first point where the link assembly 2 contacts the tray 1 and plays a role in supporting the entire link assembly 2. The design of the first link 21 takes into account the limitation of the internal space of the tray 1, so its size and shape are carefully calculated to maximize space saving while providing sufficient support.
[0026] The second link 22 is horizontally arranged in the through slot, and is connected to the first link 21 to form an L-shaped structure. This design enables the link assembly 2 to stabilize the battery in both vertical and horizontal directions, ensuring that the battery is in a stable position during the formation process. The length and width of the second link 22 are optimized according to the size of the battery to meet the fixing requirements of different models of batteries.
[0027] The third link 23 is arranged on one side of the tray 1, one end of which is connected to the second link 22, and the other end is equipped with a spring 5 and a fastening screw 6 mechanism. The core of this design is to use the elastic force of the spring 5 to adjust the height of the link assembly 2 to adapt to batteries of different heights. The spring 5 is installed above the fixed block 7. By tightening or loosening the fastening screw 6, the compression degree of the spring 5 can be accurately controlled, thereby adjusting the position and height of the third link 23. This design not only improves the applicability of the tray 1, but also greatly increases the flexibility of operation.
[0028] The selection of spring 5 is also very critical. It needs to have sufficient elasticity and durability to ensure that it can maintain good performance after long-term repeated use. The material, wire diameter, number of turns and other parameters of spring 5 have been precisely calculated and experimentally verified to ensure its reliability and stability in actual use. The fixing block 7 at the lower end of spring 5 not only provides a stable support point for spring 5, but also protects tray 1 from damage due to excessive pressure. The fastening screw 6 allows the user to manually adjust the compression degree of spring 5 as needed, thereby achieving precise control of the battery fixing height.
[0029] The design of the entire connecting rod assembly 2 fully considers the convenience and practicality of use. Through this sophisticated mechanical structure, not only can batteries of different sizes and models be fixed quickly and accurately, but also the fine control of the battery fixing force can be achieved through simple adjustment.
[0030] In the linkage tray design of the present application, the clamping position 3 and its related structural design play a core role in ensuring the stability and safety of the battery during the formation process. The clamping position 3 not only needs to accurately adapt to the bottom shape of the external battery to stably accommodate the battery, but also needs to cooperate with other mechanical structures, such as the fixing block 7 and the limit groove, to achieve fine control of the battery position and accurate guidance of the movement of the link assembly 2.
[0031] The design of the card slot 3 takes into account various types and sizes of batteries, so its shape must have a certain degree of versatility and adaptability. This design enables the tray 1 to be suitable for batteries of different models, thereby improving the efficiency and flexibility of the use of the tray 1. The surface and edges of the card slot 3 are finely processed to avoid scratching or damaging the battery shell during the placement or removal of the battery.
[0032] A fixing block 7 is specially designed for the position close to one side of the third link 23, which is a key innovation. The fixing block not only provides additional stability for the position, but also carries an important functional component, the limit slot. The limit slot is directly mounted on the third link 23. This design allows the third link 23 to be guided and restricted by the limit slot when moving downward, thereby ensuring that the conductive block 4 can be accurately aligned and contact the positive and negative poles of the battery. The internal shape of the limit slot matches the third link 23, ensuring the stability and linearity of the third link 23 during movement, avoiding any deflection or shaking, which is crucial to ensuring the stability of the electrical connection.
[0033] In addition, the stopper on the card position 3 is another meticulous design. The main function of the stopper is to provide a clear stop point when the battery is placed in the card position 3 to ensure that the battery is correctly positioned in the tray 1. This design not only simplifies the operation process and reduces operator errors, but also further improves the safety and reliability of the battery formation process. The material, shape and size of the stopper 3 are carefully selected and calculated to ensure that they can effectively complete the positioning task without damaging the battery.
[0034] The comprehensive design of the fixing block 7, the stopper groove and the stopper fully reflects the in-depth understanding of the stability, accuracy and ease of operation in the battery formation process. Although these design details are small, they play an indispensable role in the entire battery formation process. Together, they ensure the correct positioning and stable connection of the battery during the formation process, thereby ensuring the efficiency of the formation process and the quality of the battery product. Example
[0035] In the linkage tray design of the present application, the automation and precise control of the battery formation process is achieved through a series of ingeniously designed mechanical structures. This structure can not only adapt to batteries of different sizes and models, but also ensure that the batteries are stably and reliably connected during the formation process. When the acid-added battery to be formed is placed in the tray 1, the movement process of the entire linkage assembly 2 begins, which involves precise mechanical principles and mechanical design.
[0036] First, the gravity of the battery acts on the first link 21. The first link 21 is designed to be placed vertically in the through slot, with its top in contact with the bottom of the battery. When the battery is placed in the slot 3, its weight causes the first link 21 to start moving downward. This downward movement is precisely controlled, and the first link 21 will drop to a position flush with the slot 3. This design ensures that the battery can be stably placed in the tray 1, and also lays the foundation for subsequent linkage operations.
[0037] As the first link 21 descends, it drives the second link 22 connected thereto to start moving downward. The second link 22 is placed horizontally, one end of which is connected to the first link 21, and the other end is connected to the third link 23. Therefore, when the first link 21 moves downward, the second link 22 is arranged so that it can transmit the moving force to the third link 23.
[0038] The design of the third link 23 is more complicated. It not only needs to move downward with the second link 22, but also is equipped with a spring 5 and a fastening screw 6. The spring 5 is located between the third link 23 and the fixed block 7, and plays a buffering and regulating role. When the third link 23 moves downward, the fastening screw 6 also moves downward, and the spring 5 is compressed during this process. This compression is controllable. By adjusting the fastening screw 6, the compression degree of the spring 5 can be accurately controlled, thereby adjusting the contact pressure between the battery and the conductive block 4.
[0039] The most critical step is that the conductive block 4 at the upper end of the third link 23 contacts the positive and negative electrodes of the adjacent battery as the entire link assembly 2 moves downward. These conductive blocks 4 are carefully designed, and their shapes perfectly match the interfaces at both ends of the battery to ensure that stable electrical connections can be achieved during the battery formation process. When the conductive block finally contacts the positive and negative electrodes of the adjacent battery, the adjacent batteries are connected in series, providing the necessary circuit connection for the formation process.
