In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.
[0036] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with embodiments. Example
[0037] This case proposes a square battery multi-channel restraint tray, see attached Figure 1-8 , mainly comprising a concave body 1, the body 1 consists of a bottom plate and vertical plates erected on both sides of the bottom plate, the body 1 is divided into two rows of restraint channels 10 along its width direction, and the restraint channels 10 are located between the two vertical plates.
[0038] In this case, four groups of sliding rods are equidistantly arranged between the two vertical plates along the length direction of the vertical plates, that is, along the width direction of the machine body 1, and each group of sliding rods includes two sliding rods spaced apart from each other.
[0039] Two groups of sliding rods are respectively provided in each column of the restraint channels 10, and a push plate 11 which can be linearly moved along the length direction of the body 1 is provided in each column of the restraint channels 10. The push plate 11 is sleeved on the two groups of sliding rods and can be guided to slide on the sliding rods. In each column of the restraint channels 10, several layer plates 2 for placing batteries are equidistantly arranged along the length direction of the body 1, and both sides of the several layer plates 2 are also sleeved on the two groups of sliding rods to slide.
[0040] It should be noted that the layers 2 in the same restraint channel 10 are grouped in pairs, and the batteries are placed between two adjacent layers 2, and the push plate 11 is fixed to the first layer 2 in each restraint channel 10. When the push plate 11 starts to move, it will drive the layer 2 to start moving.
[0041] In this case, a slider 21 is provided on both sides of each layer board 2, and a hook 22 and a groove 23 are provided on both sides of the slider 21. The hook 22 cooperates with the groove 23 of the slider 21 on the adjacent layer board 2, and the width of the groove 23 is greater than the width of the hook 22. The layer board 2 and the sliders 21 on both sides thereof are detachably connected.
[0042] Specifically, a slot is provided on the slider 21 along its vertical direction, and a latch block which can be inserted into the slot is provided on the side end surface of the layer plate 2, so that when the size of the battery to be processed changes, it can be achieved by replacing the layer plates 2 of different sizes.
[0043] In this case, the slider 21 slides on the sliding rod, and the adjacent sliders 21 on the same sliding rod are moved by the hooks 22 and the grooves 23. When the distance between adjacent layer plates 2 needs to be increased, the push plate 11 is driven to pull the first layer plate 2 toward one side of the push plate 11, so that the hook 22 on the side of the layer plate 2 will pull the groove 23 on the adjacent slider 21. When the maximum pulling position is reached, there is a certain gap between the slider 21 and the groove 23 it matches.
[0044] At this time, the battery is placed between the two layer plates 2 using a robot.
[0045] Similarly, when the battery needs to be restrained, the push plate 11 is driven to push the first layer plate 2 toward the side away from the push plate 11, and the gap between the slider 21 and its matching groove 23 gradually decreases. When the maximum pushing position is reached, the two adjacent layer plates 2 will fix the battery located between the two layer plates 2.
[0046] In the present case, the height of the layer plate 2 is substantially the same as the height of the battery. Therefore, in order to facilitate the removal of the battery between the two layer plates 2 from the layer plates 2 by a robot, two through grooves 101 are provided on the bottom surface of the body 1, i.e., the bottom plate. The through grooves 101 are arranged along the length direction of the body 1. The battery between the two layer plates 2 is located directly above the through grooves 101. When the battery needs to be removed, a certain lifting mechanism may be provided at the through grooves 101 to eject the battery directly above the through grooves 101, so as to facilitate the grabbing of the robot. The robot and the lifting mechanism are well-known technologies and will not be elaborated on herein.
[0047] The movement mode of the push plate 11 is not specifically limited here. Two pulling openings 111 are provided at the upper end of the push plate 11. A telescopic rod can be provided to be fixed at the pulling opening 111 to control the linear displacement of the push plate 11. This is a well-known technology and will not be described here. The driving mechanism is not shown in the figure.
[0048] In order to prevent the push plate 11 from rebounding when being pulled back, a locking position 112 is further provided on the push plate 11, which can be fixed to the vertical plate on the body 1 when the push plate 11 is pulled back to the maximum position.
[0049] Specifically, the locking position 112 includes a clamping rod 113 installed on the side end surface of the push plate 11 and a clamping arm 12 arranged on the body 1. The clamping arm 12 is arranged corresponding to the clamping rod 113 and can clamp the clamping rod 113 to form a lock. When the clamping rod 113 on the push plate 11 moves to the clamping arm 12, the clamping rod 113 can clamp the clamping rod 113 to limit the displacement of the push plate 11. The clamping arm 12 can be made of plastic material or the two claws can be set to an elastic hinge structure. This is a well-known technology and will not be elaborated on here.
[0050] Furthermore, in order to prevent the push plate 11 from rebounding, a stop rod 13 is provided on the body 1, which can move toward one side of the push plate 11 and abut against the end face of the push plate 11. The stop rod 13 cooperates with the vertical plate thread, and a hexagonal slot is provided on the side end face of the stop rod 13. A certain driving structure can be set to cooperate with the hexagonal slot and drive the stop rod 13 to rotate. When the stop rod 13 rotates, it will move as a whole toward one side of the push plate 11 and abut against the push plate 11, thereby limiting the rebound movement of the push plate 11, thereby limiting the movement of the layer plate 2, and further avoiding the occurrence of battery bulging.
[0051] In order to reduce the torque of the anti-recoil rod 13 on the push plate 11 and avoid damage to the push plate 11, a rotatable turntable 131 is provided at one end of the anti-recoil rod 13 facing the push plate 11. The turntable 131 is connected to the anti-recoil rod 13 through a bearing, and the end of the turntable 131 facing the anti-recoil rod 13 is made of plastic.
[0052] In this case, in order to prevent the battery from generating excessive heat and affecting the quality of the battery when charging internally, a card slot 24 for fixing the battery is provided on both sides of the layer plate 2, and the outer wall around the card slot 24 is hollowed out to increase the speed of heat dissipation.
[0053] In addition, a layer of protrusions 25 are respectively provided at one end of the layer plate 2 facing the battery. The protrusions 25 are generally in the shape of a boss. The protrusions 25 are located in the middle of the slot 24 and are directly opposite to the position of the battery cell. When the battery heat is too high, there is a certain gap between the battery cell and the shell. When the battery is placed in the layer plate 2 for charging, the protrusions 25 just hit the position of the shell where the battery cell is located to prevent the battery from bulging.
[0054] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention 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 of the technical features therein by equivalents. These modifications or replacements will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
