With the continuous expansion of the application field of power batteries, the market demand is also constantly expanding.

[0038] When assembling the battery module into the box, a limit mechanism is required to control the gap between the battery module and the inner wall of the box. However, after the traditional limit block is tightly attached to the battery module, it is affected by friction, making it difficult to remove it from the box and the blue film of the battery cell in the battery module may be damaged when removing it.

[0039] refer to Figure 1-3 , Figure 1 A front view of a limiting mechanism of some embodiments of the present application is shown. Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the limiting mechanism along the AA' direction of some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 A side view of a limiting mechanism according to some embodiments of the present application is shown.

[0040] The embodiment of the present application provides a limiting mechanism, including: a shell 100 and a capsule 200. The shell 100 includes a first surface 110 and a second surface 120 opposite to each other in the thickness direction D, and a first side surface 130 and a second side surface 140 connecting the first surface 110 and the second surface 120, the first side surface 130 is located at the first end of the shell 100, the second side surface 140 is located at the second end of the shell 100, and the first end and the second end are opposite to each other. The capsule 200 is arranged inside the shell 100. The dimensions of the first side surface 130 and the second side surface 140 in the thickness direction D can be changed according to the volume of the fluid in the capsule 200 to adjust the interval between the first surface 110 and the second surface 120.

[0041] The housing 100 includes a first surface 110 , a second surface 120 , a first side surface 130 , and a second side surface 140 .

[0042] The thickness direction D refers to a direction perpendicular to the first surface 110 and the second surface 120 of the housing 100. The housing 100 also has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. Figure 1 In the example of FIG. 1 , the first end and the second end are two ends opposite to each other in the length direction of the housing 100. Figure 2 The first side surface 130 and the second side surface 140 of the housing 100 are respectively located at the first end and the second end, and are respectively connected to the first surface 110 and the second surface 120 .

[0043] The bladder 200 is disposed inside the housing 100. By allowing external fluid (eg, gas or liquid) to enter therein, the volume of the fluid inside the bladder can be changed.

[0044] According to an embodiment of the present application, the dimensions of the first side surface 130 and the second side surface 140 in the thickness direction D can be changed according to the volume of the fluid in the capsule 200 to adjust the interval between the first surface 110 and the second surface 120. Specifically, when the volume of the fluid inside the capsule 200 increases, the capsule expands, exerting pressure on the first side surface 130 and the second side surface 140, thereby increasing the interval between the first surface 110 and the second surface 120. On the contrary, when the volume of the fluid inside the capsule 200 decreases, the capsule contracts, and the interval between the first surface 110 and the second surface 120 is correspondingly reduced.

[0045] According to the limiting mechanism of the embodiment of the present application, by arranging the capsule in the shell and arranging the side of the shell to be variable in the thickness direction, the limiting size in the box can be conveniently adjusted. In addition, the limiting mechanism according to the embodiment of the present application can effectively solve the problem of being difficult to remove from the box and the blue film of the battery cell in the battery module being damaged when removing.

[0046] According to some embodiments of the present application, each of the first side 130 and the second side 140 includes a first portion 131 and a second portion 132 , which can be folded or unfolded relative to each other around a straight line L parallel to the first surface 110 and the second surface 120 .

[0047] refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, each of the first side surface 130 and the second side surface 140 includes a first portion 131 and a second portion 132. In some embodiments, the first portion 131 and the second portion 132 may be divided by a straight line L in the side surface that is perpendicular to the thickness direction D and parallel to the first surface 110 and the second surface 120. The first portion 131 and the second portion 132 can be folded or unfolded relative to each other around the straight line L.

[0048] Specifically, when the volume of the fluid inside the balloon 200 increases, the balloon expands, exerts pressure on the first side 130 and the second side 140, and the first portion 131 and the second portion 132 gradually unfold relative to each other around the straight line L. On the contrary, when the volume of the fluid inside the balloon 200 decreases, the balloon contracts, the pressure exerted on the first side 130 and the second side 140 decreases, and the first portion 131 and the second portion 132 gradually fold relative to each other around the straight line L.

[0049] By configuring the side to include a first part and a second part that can be folded or unfolded relative to each other, the first side and the second side of the shell can have adjustable dimensions in the thickness direction, thereby making the interval between the first surface and the second surface of the limiting mechanism adjustable, thereby being able to adapt to different needs and application scenarios.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present application, each of the first side 130 and the second side 140 includes a hinge mechanism 300, the hinge mechanism 300 includes a pivot 310 extending along a straight line L parallel to the first surface 110 and the second surface 120, and the first part 131 and the second part 132 are rotationally connected via the pivot 310.

[0051] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 , each of the first side 130 and the second side 140 of the limiting mechanism may include a hinge mechanism 300. The hinge mechanism 300 includes a pivot 310, which extends along a straight line L parallel to the first surface 110 and the second surface 120. In some embodiments, the pivot 310 may be a rod-like structure or a rotation axis, and passes through the first side 130 and the second side 140.

[0052] The first portion 131 and the second portion 132 can perform a rotational movement about the pivot 310 , so that the first portion 131 and the second portion 132 can be folded and unfolded relative to each other.

[0053] By providing a hinge mechanism, the support stability of the limiting mechanism can be enhanced.

[0054] According to some embodiments of the present application, the hinge mechanism 300 further includes: at least one first sleeve 320 and at least one second sleeve 330. The at least one first sleeve 320 is sleeved on the pivot 310 and fixedly connected to the first portion 131. The at least one second sleeve 330 is sleeved on the pivot 310 and fixedly connected to the second portion 132. The pivot 310 is movably hinged with the first sleeve 320 and the second sleeve 330.

[0055] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 shows a schematic structural diagram of the hinge mechanism of some embodiments of the present application in a folded state, Figure 5 A schematic structural diagram of the hinge mechanism in some embodiments of the present application in an unfolded state is shown.

[0056] The hinge mechanism 300 further includes at least one first sleeve 320 and at least one second sleeve 330. In some embodiments, the first sleeve 320 and the second sleeve 330 can be sleeved on the pivot 310 and fixedly connected to the first part 131 and the second part 132 respectively, so that the first part 131 and the second part 132 can be folded and unfolded relative to each other.

[0057] In some embodiments, the pivot 310 may be used as a central axis to allow the first sleeve 320 and the second sleeve 330 to rotate therearound, thereby achieving rotational movement of the first portion 131 and the second portion 132 .

[0058] The degree of folding or unfolding between the first part and the second part can be adjusted by the movable hinge connection between the pivot and the shaft sleeve, so that the limiting mechanism can adapt to different needs and usage scenarios.

[0059] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first sleeves 320 and the second sleeves 330 are alternately sleeved on the pivot 310 .

[0060] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The hinge mechanism 300 further includes two or more (eg, three) first sleeves 320 and two or more (eg, two) second sleeves 330 , wherein the plurality of first sleeves 320 and the plurality of second sleeves 330 may be alternately sleeved on the pivot 310 .

[0061] The first sleeve and the second sleeve are alternately sleeved on the pivot shaft, so that the limiting mechanism has higher strength and stability.

[0062] According to some embodiments of the present application, the pivot 310 is disposed at a middle position of each of the first side surface 130 and the second side surface 140 , such that the first portion 131 and the second portion 132 have the same size.

[0063] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3-Figure 5 , the pivot 310 is disposed at a middle position of each of the first side surface 130 and the second side surface 140 in the width direction D such that the distances between the pivot 310 and the first surface 110 and the second surface 120 are the same.

[0064] Placing the pivot in the middle of the side surface can enhance the uniformity and symmetry of the housing.

[0065] According to some embodiments of the present application, the pivot 310 is disposed at a non-middle position of each of the first side surface 130 and the second side surface 140 , so that the first portion 131 and the second portion 132 have different sizes.

[0066] In some embodiments, the pivot 310 may also be disposed at a non-middle position of each of the first side surface 130 and the second side surface 140 , such that the pivot 310 is closer to one of the first surface 110 and the second surface 120 .

[0067] Arranging the pivot at a non-middle position on the side can make the limiting mechanism more flexible in use and adaptable.

[0068] According to some embodiments of the present application, the capsule 200 includes a fluid channel opening, a fluid channel portion is provided on the shell 100, and the fluid channel opening is communicated with the fluid channel portion.

[0069] In some embodiments, the capsule 200 includes a fluid channel port for introducing external fluid. In some embodiments, the fluid channel port can be located at the side or top of the capsule 200. The fluid channel port is connected to the fluid channel portion on the housing 100, so that the external fluid can enter the fluid channel port of the capsule 200 from the fluid channel portion on the housing 100.

[0070] By providing the shell with a fluid channel portion that is connected to the fluid channel opening of the bladder, the bladder can be filled with fluid, discharged with fluid, and other operations according to different usage requirements.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present application, the fluid channel portion includes a fluid filling and discharging nozzle 210 , and the fluid filling and discharging nozzle 210 protrudes from the housing 100 to form a fluid channel.

[0072] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1-Figure 3 , the fluid filling and discharging nozzle 210 of the housing 100 protrudes from the housing 100, thereby forming a fluid channel.

[0073] The fluid filling and discharging nozzle protrudes from the shell and forms a fluid channel, so that the fluid filling and discharging operation of the capsule can be conveniently performed without the need for additional interfaces or connectors.

[0074] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first part 131 and the second part 132 are hard plates.

[0075] In some embodiments, the first portion 131 and the second portion 132 may be hard plates.

[0076] The first part and the second part are hard plates, which can provide better support for the limiter in the thickness direction of the shell.

[0077] The limiting mechanism of the present application is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0078] refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 The limiting mechanism includes: a shell 100 and a capsule 200. The shell 100 includes a first surface 110 and a second surface 120 opposite to each other in a thickness direction D, and a first side surface 130 and a second side surface 140 connecting the first surface 110 and the second surface 120. The first side surface 130 is located at a first end of the shell 100, and the second side surface 140 is located at a second end of the shell 100, and the first end and the second end are opposite to each other. Each of the first side surface 130 and the second side surface 140 includes a first portion 131 and a second portion 132.

[0079] Each of the first side surface 130 and the second side surface 140 further includes a hinge mechanism 300. The hinge mechanism 300 includes a pivot 310, three first sleeves 320, and two second sleeves 330. The pivot 310 is arranged at a middle position of each of the first side surface 130 and the second side surface 140, so that the distances between the pivot 310 and the first surface 110 and the second surface 120 are the same. The three first sleeves 320 and the two second sleeves 330 are alternately sleeved on the pivot 310, wherein the three first sleeves 320 are fixedly connected to the first portion 131, and the two second sleeves 330 are fixedly connected to the second portion 132. The pivot 310 is movably hinged with the first sleeves 320 and the second sleeves 330.

[0080] The shell 100 is also provided with a fluid filling and discharging nozzle 210 . The fluid filling and discharging nozzle 210 protrudes from the shell 100 to form a fluid channel and is in communication with the capsule 200 .

[0081] When the fluid is filled into the capsule 200 in the limiting mechanism via the fluid filling and discharging nozzle 210, the volume of the fluid inside the capsule increases. The capsule expands to apply pressure to the first side surface 130 and the second side surface 140, and the first part 131 and the second part 132 gradually unfold relative to each other around the pivot 310 via the hinge mechanism 300. The dimensions of the first side surface 130 and the second side surface 140 in the thickness direction D gradually increase, and the interval between the first surface 110 and the second surface 120 also gradually increases until the first part 131 and the second part 132 are fully unfolded.

[0082] When the fluid filling and discharging nozzle 210 is opened to discharge the fluid from the capsule 200 in the limiting mechanism, the volume of the fluid inside the capsule 200 decreases. The capsule contracts, the pressure applied to the first side surface 130 and the second side surface 140 gradually decreases, and the first part 131 and the second part 132 gradually fold relative to each other around the pivot 310 via the hinge mechanism 300. The dimensions of the first side surface 130 and the second side surface 140 in the thickness direction D gradually decrease, and the interval between the first surface 110 and the second surface 120 also gradually decreases until the first part 131 and the second part 132 are completely folded relative to each other.

[0083] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein by equivalents; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and they should all be included in the scope of the claims and specification of the present application.
