[0021] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0022] See also Figures 1 to 6As shown, the battery tray of the utility model comprises a rectangular frame 1, in which at least one battery tray body driven to rotate at a predetermined angle in a vertical direction is arranged. The battery tray body can be locked after rotating at a predetermined angle and can ensure an inclined state, so that when a battery is placed in the battery tray, the battery can rotate synchronously with the tray, so that the battery is in a tilted state.
[0023] In the production process of the battery, if the batteries in the tray need to be tilted during the production process, such as when the non-compounded batteries are injected with liquid in cooperation with the injection equipment, they can be handled by this tray. In this way, in the corresponding production process, there is no need to replace the tray that allows the batteries to be placed at an angle. It can be achieved directly by rotating the tray provided by the embodiment of the utility model. When tilting is not required, the non-tilted horizontal placement state can be restored.
[0024] In some embodiments, the battery tray body includes an outer tray 2 and an inner tray 3 placed inside the outer tray, and the surface of the inner tray 3 is pre-set with at least one battery limiting groove 4. The inner tray is embedded in the groove of the outer tray 2 and is detachably connected, so that it is convenient to remove and replace different inner trays 3. The battery limiting groove 4 can be made according to batteries of different specifications or sizes to meet the needs of batteries of different specifications or sizes.
[0025] The battery limiting groove 4 is preferably a cylindrical groove, suitable for cylindrical batteries, or a rectangular groove, suitable for rectangular batteries or square batteries.
[0026] In some embodiments, there are multiple battery tray bodies, and the multiple battery tray bodies are arranged in parallel on the same plane. Each battery tray body rotates with the frame, and when the driven rotation is performed, the multiple battery tray bodies rotate synchronously in one direction. In this way, more batteries can be arranged for processing, and the specific number of battery tray bodies is determined according to the area size of the battery tray body.
[0027] In some embodiments, both ends of each battery tray body are rotatably connected to the frame through a rotating shaft 5, and the rotating shaft 5 is fixedly connected to both ends of the outer disk 2. Each outer disk is connected to two rotating shafts 5, and the two rotating shafts 5 connected to each outer disk are coaxially arranged, so that the outer disk 2 is rotatably connected to the two side panels of the frame 1, and the side panels of the frame 1 are provided with shaft holes that match the rotating shaft 5. The rotating shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the shaft hole on the side panel of the frame through a matching bearing 11, and the bearing 11 is fixed in the shaft hole.
[0028] In some embodiments, a synchronous pulley 7 is arranged on the rotating shaft 5 connected to the ends of the multiple battery tray bodies, which is used to connect with the synchronous belt 6 to synchronously drive the multiple battery tray bodies to rotate synchronously in one direction. The synchronous belt 6 connects two synchronous pulleys 7. After the connection, when one of the multiple battery tray bodies is driven, the synchronous pulley 7 and the synchronous belt 6 can be used to drive the other battery tray bodies to rotate synchronously, and they can rotate synchronously in the same direction.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment, there are three battery tray bodies 2, and the middle battery tray body is connected to the two outer battery tray bodies respectively by a synchronous belt.
[0030] In the structure of the battery tray with three battery tray bodies mentioned above, the rotating shaft 5 of the middle battery tray body is connected to a rotating handwheel 8 with a locking function. A handle 9 is arranged on the rotating handwheel 8. The rotating handwheel 8 is rotated by the handle 9, and then the middle battery tray body and the battery tray bodies on both sides are rotated synchronously. The rotating handwheel 8 can adopt an existing locking rotating handwheel.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment, handles 10 for convenient operation and movement of the battery tray are arranged on the two outer sides of the frame 2. The handles 10 are U-shaped and locked with the frame 1 using nuts, making it convenient for the operator to hold the battery tray to move the position or dispose of the battery tray.
[0032] The battery tray of the utility model is designed as a detachable structure, and the inner tray of the battery tray body with battery limit slots of different models or shapes can be replaced according to batteries of different specifications or sizes, so as to achieve the application of cylindrical batteries or square batteries of multiple sizes or specifications. The battery tray of the utility model is simple to manufacture, multifunctional, easy to operate, and widely applicable.

For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the utility model can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the utility model.
