[0002] In the production of new energy batteries, the battery cells need to be welded into battery modules, and then the battery modules are assembled into battery packs. During this process, the battery modules usually need to be hoisted. However, traditional module hoists cannot be used for battery modules of various sizes and have the disadvantage of low compatibility. Utility Model Content

[0003] Based on the above problems, the present application provides a module hanger and a battery production equipment, aiming to propose a module hanger with high compatibility.

[0004] The present application provides a module hanger, which includes a hanger assembly, a hoisting assembly and a clamping assembly, wherein the hanger assembly is extended along a first direction; at least two of the hoisting assemblies form a group, which are used to hang the opposite ends of a target module, and each of the hoisting assemblies is movably arranged on the hanger assembly along the first direction; the hanger assembly corresponds to a clamping assembly provided between the two hoisting assemblies in each group, and the clamping assembly is used to clamp the middle part of the target module.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0048] With the rapid development of electric vehicles, power tools, drones and energy storage equipment, the application scenarios of battery modules, as one of the core components of these devices, are also expanding. Battery modules are composed of multiple battery cells arranged and fixed, which can provide higher energy density and more stable performance to meet the needs of different applications.

[0049] In some embodiments, the battery module can be applied to electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles and electric cars. The battery module integrates multiple battery cells together to form a unified energy source to provide power for the vehicle. This can improve the overall energy density of the battery, simplify the design and maintenance of the battery management system (BMS), and improve the vehicle's endurance and safety.

[0050] In some embodiments, the battery module can be used in portable devices such as power tools and drones. Since the battery module has a high energy density and a small size, it is very suitable for application scenarios that require high power output and long operation. For example, in power tools, the battery module can provide continuous and stable power to ensure that the tool operates efficiently in various working environments; in drones, the battery module can provide sufficient flight time and load capacity to meet various needs such as aerial photography and logistics distribution.

[0051] In some embodiments, the battery module can be integrated into an energy storage device, such as an energy storage container or an energy storage cabinet. Energy storage devices are generally used in the fields of grid energy storage, distributed energy storage, and emergency power supply. The battery module can be flexibly configured according to actual needs through modular design to meet energy storage needs of different scales. In addition, the battery module can also be combined with renewable energy systems such as solar energy and wind energy to achieve effective storage and utilization of clean energy.

[0052] In some embodiments, the battery module can be used as part of the vehicle chassis structure. For example, part of the battery module can become at least part of the vehicle's floor, crossbeam or longitudinal beam, thereby optimizing the vehicle's space utilization and overall structural strength. This design not only improves the safety and stability of the vehicle, but also reduces the need for additional installation space, further improving the overall performance of the vehicle.

[0053] In some embodiments, the battery cells in the battery module can be of various types, including but not limited to lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, sodium-lithium-ion batteries, lithium metal batteries, sodium metal batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, magnesium-ion batteries, nickel-hydrogen batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, lead-acid batteries, etc. The specific shapes of the battery cells can also be diversified, such as cylindrical battery cells, prismatic battery cells, soft-pack battery cells, or battery cells of other shapes. For example, the prismatic battery cells can be square-shell battery cells, blade-shaped battery cells, or multi-prismatic batteries (such as hexagonal batteries) to meet different application requirements.

[0054] In short, battery modules are widely used in electric vehicles, portable devices, energy storage devices and other fields due to their flexibility, efficiency and reliability, promoting the technological progress and development of various industries. By continuously optimizing the design and manufacturing process of battery modules, their performance and application range will be further improved in the future to meet the growing market demand.

[0055] In the production process of new energy batteries, module hoists are used to hoist the welded battery modules into the battery pack box. Traditional module hoists usually include a hanger assembly and a hoisting assembly. The hanger assembly is an integral load-bearing structure, and the hoisting assembly is a structure for hoisting the target module. However, traditional module hoists have the problem of low compatibility, which is mainly reflected in their inability to flexibly adapt to target modules of different sizes and shapes. Since traditional hoists are usually fixed in design and can only be applied to target modules of a specific size, when dealing with target modules of multiple specifications, it is often necessary to frequently replace or reconfigure the equipment, which increases the complexity and time cost of operation. In addition, fixed module hoists may not provide sufficient support and stability when facing large or complex modules, causing the modules to shift or be damaged during the hoisting process, thereby affecting product quality and production efficiency. It is understandable that these defects not only limit the flexibility and production capacity of the production line, but also increase the need to maintain and adjust the equipment, bringing additional cost burdens to the enterprise. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a module hoist with higher compatibility and flexibility.

[0056] The present application provides a module hanger 10. In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1 The module hanger 10 includes a hanger assembly 100 , a hoisting assembly 200 and a clamping assembly 300 .

[0057] It is understandable that the module sling 10 provided in the present application is used to lift the target module. When the module sling 10 is applied to a battery production process, the target module may be a battery module. Of course, the module sling 10 may also be used in other application scenarios. For example, in the manufacturing industry, the module sling 10 can be used to lift large mechanical parts or precision instruments; in the logistics industry, the module sling 10 can be used to lift heavy goods or items of special shapes; in the construction industry, the module sling 10 can also be used to lift prefabricated components or other large building materials. The specific application scenarios are not limited here. If there is no special record in this application, the battery production process will be used as the scenario for technical explanation.

[0058] In this embodiment, the hanger assembly 100 is extended along a first direction. Optionally, the first direction is a horizontal direction. The length of the hanger assembly 100 determines the length of the target module that can be finally adapted. The extension length of the hanger assembly 100 in the first direction is determined according to actual needs, which can enhance the flexibility and compatibility of the device.

[0059] Among them, considering the requirements of battery modules of different sizes and shapes, the hanger assembly 100 can also be designed to be circular, rectangular or other polygonal, or even an irregular shape customized according to the contour of a specific module.

[0060] The hanger assembly 100 may be in various forms, including but not limited to an outer frame assembly or a plate assembly. When an outer frame assembly is selected, it may be made of a solid metal material to form a closed or open frame structure, which not only provides strength and stability, but also facilitates the installation of other functional components such as sensors or guide rail systems inside the frame. On the other hand, if a plate assembly is selected, it may be processed to have a higher flatness and rigidity to ensure stable support during the entire hoisting process.

[0061] In this embodiment, at least two of the hoisting assemblies 200 form a group, which are used to hoist the opposite ends of the target module. Each of the hoisting assemblies 200 is movably arranged on the hanger assembly 100 along the first direction; the hanger assembly 100 is provided with the clamping assembly 300 between the two hoisting assemblies 200 of each group. It can be understood that at least two hoisting assemblies 200 are configured as a group and are movably installed on the hanger assembly 100 along the first direction. By adjusting the position of each hoisting assembly 200, target modules of different sizes can be adapted. For example, when processing a shorter target module, the two hoisting assemblies 200 can be placed close to each other; and for a longer module, the two hoisting assemblies 200 can be separated.

[0062] It should be noted that the number of the hanging components 200 can be two, three, four or other numbers, and the specific number is not limited here. The key is that two can be regarded as a group to hang the target module when in use. In a feasible embodiment, the number of hanging components 200 is three, and the three hanging components 200 are arranged from left to right, the left one and the middle one form a group, and the right one and the middle one form another group. In this way, the three hanging components 200 can form two groups, and the hanging components 200 on the left and the middle can work together to hang the first target module, while the hanging components 200 in the middle and on the right are used to hang another target module. In another feasible embodiment, the number of hanging components 200 is two, and the two hanging components 200 are regarded as a group for hanging the target module.

[0063] In this embodiment, the hanger assembly 100 is provided with the clamping assembly 300 corresponding to each group of two hoisting assemblies 200, and the clamping assembly 300 is used to clamp the middle part of the target module. It can be understood that the clamping assembly 300 is provided between each group of two hoisting assemblies 200 to clamp the middle part of the target module, which provides an additional support point and further enhances the stability and safety during the hoisting process. For target modules with complex structures or larger ones, the middle clamping can effectively prevent any offset or deformation during the hoisting process. For example, when handling heavy or long battery modules, the middle clamping can ensure that the module remains level and stable during the entire hoisting process, reducing accidents caused by collapse of the middle part.

[0064] It should be noted that the number of the clamping assembly 300 can be one or more, depending on the actual application scenario.

[0065] It is understandable that the clamping assembly 300 has an adjustable clamping space, the size of which is adjustable and can be used to adapt to the width of the target module, so it has high compatibility. Among them, the clamping assembly 300 can choose point clamping or surface clamping. Point clamping fixes the target module through several specific contact points, has high flexibility, is suitable for small, medium and regular-shaped target modules, can reduce surface damage and improve operating efficiency; in contrast, surface clamping provides a wider range of support through large-area or multi-plane contact, is suitable for large, heavy or complex target modules, ensures higher stability and safety, prevents the target module from offset or deformation during the hoisting process, and protects the integrity of the module.

[0066] In general, the hanger assembly 100 is extended along the first direction to provide a basic support structure; at least two lifting assemblies 200 form a group, which are used to lift the opposite ends of the target module, and each lifting assembly 200 can move freely along the first direction on the hanger assembly 100 to adapt to modules of different lengths. In addition, a clamping assembly 300 is provided between each group of two lifting assemblies 200 to clamp the middle of the target module, and to ensure overall stability and safety when the target module is too long during the lifting process. In this way, not only is the compatibility of the module hanger 10 with modules of different sizes improved, reducing the need to replace or adjust the equipment, but also the clamping method effectively protects against damage caused by improper lifting when the length of the module is long.

[0067] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 The hanger assembly 100 includes a support body 110, a first slide rail assembly 120 and a second slide rail assembly 130, and the hoisting assembly 200 is slidingly connected to the first slide rail assembly 120 and the second slide rail assembly 130 respectively, so that a sliding connection can be achieved to adapt to the length of the target module.

[0068] In this embodiment, the support body 110 is extended along the first direction to provide a basic frame structure of the entire hanger. It can be understood that the support body 110 is the basic frame structure of the entire module hanger 10.

[0069] In this embodiment, the first slide rail assembly 120 and the second slide rail assembly 130 are arranged on the support body 110 and are respectively extended along the first direction; the first slide rail assembly 120 and the second slide rail assembly 130 are arranged at intervals along the second direction, thus ensuring stability and balance during the hoisting process. It can be understood that the first slide rail assembly 120 and the second slide rail assembly 130 are extended along the first direction and arranged at intervals along the second direction, ensuring stability and balance during the hoisting process. Among them, the double slide rail design allows the hoisting assembly 200 to move freely on the slide rail and lock it in its desired position, thereby providing more precise support and control. For example, when handling longer or heavier modules, it can ensure that the forces on both ends are uniform to prevent displacement or damage caused by imbalance. In addition, the interval setting can effectively disperse the stress generated during the hoisting process, further improving the stability and safety of the system.

[0070] Optionally, the first direction is a horizontal direction, the second direction is a vertical direction, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0071] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 300 is disposed between the two corresponding hoisting assemblies 200 of the support body 110, and is used to clamp the middle or other parts of the target module. In this way, additional support points are provided, and the stability and safety of the entire hoisting process are enhanced. For example, when handling a target module with a complex structure or uneven center of gravity, the clamping assembly 300 can maintain the stability of the target module and ensure that it will not be deformed or damaged during the entire hoisting process.

[0072] It can be understood that the first slide rail assembly 120 and the second slide rail assembly 130 may include a plurality of slide rails. When the slide rail assembly includes a plurality of slide rails, the plurality of slide rails may be connected to form the slide rail assembly.

[0073] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 The support body 110 includes a first beam 111 , a second beam 112 , and a connecting beam 113 connecting the first beam 111 and the second beam 112 .

[0074] In this embodiment, the first beam 111 and the second beam 112 are extended along the first direction and spaced apart along the second direction. It can be understood that if a target module with a larger width needs to be hoisted, the distance between the first beam 111 and the second beam 112 can be adjusted according to the actual width of the module to ensure that the slide rail assembly can cover the width of the entire target module. Similarly, if a target module with a larger length needs to be hoisted, the lengths of the first beam 111 and the second beam 112 can be set longer to ensure that the slide rail assembly can cover the length of the entire target module.

[0075] In this embodiment, the first slide rail assembly 120 and the second slide rail assembly 130 are respectively arranged on the two first beams 111; the hoisting assembly 200 can move freely on the first slide rail assembly 120 and the second slide rail assembly 130 to adapt to target modules of different lengths. For example, when processing a long target module, the hoisting assembly 200 can flexibly adjust its position on the slide rail to ensure that uniform support force is provided to both ends of the module to prevent displacement or damage.

[0076] It should be noted that the connecting beam 113 connects the first beam 111 and the second beam 112, and the number of the connecting beam 113 can be one to form an H-shaped support body, or the number of the connecting beam 113 can be two to form a square support body, or the number of the connecting beam 113 can be more to form other shapes. In this embodiment, the number of the connecting beams 113 is two, and the two ends of the connecting beam 113 are respectively connected to the first beam 111 and the second beam 112 to enclose a square support body. Among them, the four beams are interconnected to form a solid overall frame, which can effectively resist external stress and vibration and ensure balance and stability during the hoisting process.

[0077] In this example, see Figure 2 The support body 110 further includes a fixing assembly 140, which is disposed between the first beam 111 and the second beam 112 and is located between two hoisting assemblies 200 in a group of the hoisting assemblies 200; the clamping assembly 300 is connected to the fixing assembly 140. It can be understood that the fixing assembly 140 provides a stable installation position for the clamping assembly 300. The clamping assembly 300 is connected to the fixing assembly 140 by bolts or other connection methods such as hanging, so as to ensure that it can firmly clamp the middle of the target module during the hoisting process. It should be noted that the fixing assembly 140 can also be used to fix the entire module hanger 10 to the target equipment (such as a frame or bracket on a production line) to improve the stability and safety of the entire hanger and prevent displacement or shaking during the hoisting process. Therefore, the fixing assembly 140 is disposed between the two hoisting assemblies 200, which can achieve two effects, one is to connect the clamping assembly 300, and the other is to fix the module hanger 10 to the target equipment.

[0078] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 The hanger assembly 100 further includes a plurality of first foot support plates 114, which are respectively arranged at the corners of the square support body 110. In this embodiment, the first foot support plates 114 are used to provide additional support and stability to ensure that the entire hanger is more stable and reliable during use. In particular, when hoisting a larger or heavier target module, the first foot support plates 114 can effectively disperse the load and prevent the support body 110 from being deformed or damaged due to local stress concentration.

[0079] Optionally, a square frame having four corners is formed between the first beam 111 , the second beam 112 and the two connecting beams 113 , and the number of the first foot support plates 114 can be four, which are respectively arranged at different corners.

[0080] Optionally, the first foot support plate 114 is in the shape of a right triangle to adapt to each corner of the rectangular frame.

[0081] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 The fixing assembly 140 includes a fixing beam 141 , a fixing member 142 and a mounting plate 143 .

[0082] In this embodiment, both ends of the fixed beam 141 are respectively connected to the first beam 111 and the second beam 112. It can be understood that the fixed beam 141, as the main supporting structure, firmly connects the first beam 111 and the second beam 112 together to form a solid overall frame, thereby enhancing the rigidity and stability of the entire sling and providing a stable installation foundation for other components.

[0083] In this embodiment, the fixing member 142 is provided on the fixing beam 141, and the module hanger 10 is fixed to the target device through the fixing member 142. It can be understood that the fixing member 142 is used to fix the entire module hanger 10 to the target device (such as a frame or bracket on a production line). According to different application scenarios, the fixing member 142 can select a suitable type, such as a clamp, a hook or other forms of connecting devices. The fixing member 142 can ensure that the hanger remains stable during the lifting process, prevent displacement or shaking, thereby improving the safety and accuracy of the operation.

[0084] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 143 is arranged at the connection between the fixed beam 141 and the first beam 111 and the second beam 112, and the mounting plate is provided with a connection hole for the clamping assembly 300 to be connected. It can be understood that the mounting plate 143 not only strengthens the connection strength between the fixed beam 141 and the first beam 111 and the second beam 112, but also provides a mounting position for the clamping assembly 300. By providing the connection hole on the mounting plate 143, the clamping assembly 300 can flexibly adjust its position according to actual needs to adapt to target modules of different sizes. In this way, the compatibility and flexibility of the system are improved.

[0085] Optionally, the number of fixed beams 141 may be one, or more. In some application scenarios, a single fixed beam 141 may be sufficient to provide adequate support and stability; however, in situations where higher rigidity and stability are required, for example, when handling particularly long or heavy target modules, multiple fixed beams 141 may be used to strengthen the overall structure.

[0086] It should be noted that the first slide rail assembly 120 and the second slide rail assembly 130 can be formed by two slide rails spaced apart, that is, there is a first distance between the two slide rails, so that the position of the support plate corresponding to the first distance can be used for the installation of the fixing assembly 140.

[0087] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 The fixing assembly 140 further includes a plurality of second foot support plates 144, and the second foot support plates 144 are respectively provided at the connection between the mounting plate 143 and the fixing beam 141. In this embodiment, the second foot support plates 144 are used to enhance the stability and strength of the connection point, ensuring that the connection between the fixing beam 141 and the first beam 111 and the second beam 112 is more firm and reliable.

[0088] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 3Each of the lifting components 200 includes two hooks 210, each of which is slidably connected to the hanger component 100 via a sliding seat 220, and the sliding seat 220 is used to slide on the hanger component 100 along a first direction; the two hooks 210 are spaced apart along the second direction, and each of the hooks 210 is connected to the sliding seat 220 via a first traction member 230.

[0089] It is understandable that the sliding seat 220 can slide freely along the first direction (which can be a horizontal direction) on the hanger assembly 100 and be locked in its desired position. In this way, the hook 210 can flexibly adjust its position according to actual needs to adapt to target modules of different lengths. In a feasible embodiment, the first slide rail assembly 120 and the second slide rail assembly 130 are both two-section slide rails, that is, they are both formed by two slide rails, and the two slide rails are separated by a certain distance to install the fixing assembly 140; wherein, the two sliding seats 220 in one hanging assembly 200 can be respectively arranged on one section of the first slide rail assembly 120 and the second slide rail assembly 130, and the two sliding seats 220 in another hanging assembly 200 can be respectively arranged on another section of the first slide rail assembly 120 and the second slide rail assembly 130.

[0090] It is understandable that the two hooks 210 are spaced apart along the second direction (usually the vertical direction or the width direction) to ensure that the target module is uniformly supported during the lifting process, avoiding displacement or damage caused by uneven force at a single point. Each hook 210 is connected to the sliding seat 220 through a first traction member 230 (such as a wire rope or chain) to transmit the pulling force during the lifting process to ensure that the hook 210 is firm and reliable. On the battery production line, the operator can quickly adjust the position of the sliding seat 220 according to the battery modules of different sizes and weights, so as to achieve the best support effect, ensure that the module remains balanced and stable during the entire lifting process, reduce the risk of displacement and damage, and improve production efficiency and product quality. In addition, the design of the sliding seat 220 and the first traction member 230 simplifies the operating process, reduces the need for frequent equipment adjustments, and further improves the flexibility and work efficiency of the production line.

[0091] In one embodiment, the first traction member 230 is a flexible traction member. In this embodiment, the flexible traction member can absorb impact force and vibration to a certain extent, reduce shaking and impact caused by sudden movement or unstable operation during the hoisting process, further protect the module of the vulnerable structure, and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0092] Optionally, the flexible traction member can be a steel wire rope, a chain or other high-strength materials with certain flexibility. Its main feature is that it can produce certain elastic deformation when subjected to force, thereby absorbing and buffering impact force and vibration.

[0093] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 Each of the hoisting components 200 further includes a first width adjustment member 240, which is connected to the two hooks 210 in the corresponding hoisting component 200, and the first width adjustment member 240 is used to adjust the distance between the two hooks 210 in a hoisting component 200 in the second direction. In this way, the operator can flexibly adjust the distance between the two hooks 210 to adapt to target modules of different widths. In this way, not only the compatibility of the sling with modules of various sizes is improved, but also the operation process is simplified, reducing the need for frequent replacement or reconfiguration of equipment.

[0094] In this embodiment, the first width adjustment member 240 includes a first connecting rod 241, and the first connecting rod 241 is respectively passed through the two hooks 210; a plurality of first connecting parts are provided on the first connecting rod 241, and a matching part is provided on the hook 210, and one of the first connecting part and the matching part is a first connecting hole 2411, and the other is a plug column, and the plug column is plugged and matched with the first connecting hole 2411.

[0095] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The first connection part is a first connection hole 2411, and the matching part is a plug column. By selecting different first connection holes 2411 from the plurality of first connection holes 2411, and then connecting the two hooks 210 to the first connection holes 2411 through the corresponding plug columns, the distance between the two hooks 210 can be flexibly adjusted to accommodate template modules of different widths. In this way, the compatibility of the hanger with modules of various sizes is improved, so that the module hanger 10 can be applied to various application scenarios, reducing the need to replace or reconfigure equipment.

[0096] The first connection portion may be a hole, a slot, a buckle or other forms of fixing points. These holes or slots may be arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the first connection rod 241, allowing the adjustment block 252 to be connected through the corresponding matching portion. The matching portion may be a detachable connector 253 such as a bolt, a pin or a buckle. The matching portion can be matched and locked with the first connection portion (such as a hole or slot).

[0097] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 3Each of the hoisting components 200 further includes a second width adjustment member 250, which is connected to the two sliding seats 220, and is used to adjust the distance between the two first traction members 230 of a hoisting component 200 in the second direction. In this way, the operator can flexibly adjust the effective length of the first traction member 230, thereby changing the actual working distance and angle between the two hooks 210 to adapt to target modules of different widths and shapes. In this way, not only the compatibility of the module hanger 10 with modules of various sizes and shapes is improved, but also the operation process is simplified, reducing the need for frequent replacement or reconfiguration of equipment.

[0098] In this embodiment, the second width adjusting member 250 includes a second connecting rod 251 , an adjusting block 252 and a connecting member 253 .

[0099] Optionally, the second connecting rod 251 connects the two sliding seats 220, and the second connecting rod 251 has a plurality of second connecting holes 2511. It can be understood that the second connecting rod 251, as a main connecting component, firmly connects the two sliding seats 220 together. The second connecting rod 251 is provided with a plurality of second connecting holes 2511, and the second connecting holes 2511 are distributed along the length direction of the second connecting rod 251. By selecting different connecting holes for fixing, the operator can flexibly adjust the distance between the two sliding seats 220, thereby changing the spacing between the two first traction members 230 in the second direction.

[0100] Optionally, the adjusting block 252 is provided at one end of each first traction member 230 away from the hook 210; the adjusting block 252 has a third connecting hole 2521. It can be understood that an adjusting block 252 is installed at one end of each first traction member 230 away from the hook 210. The main function of the adjusting block 252 is to provide a fixed connection point, and a third connecting hole 2521 is provided on the adjusting block 252. Through the third connecting hole 2521, the adjusting block 252 can be aligned and fixed with a second connecting hole 2511 on the second connecting rod 251. In this way, the position of the first traction member 230 can be accurately adjusted according to actual needs.

[0101] Optionally, the connecting member 253 passes through the third connecting hole 2521 and the second connecting hole 2511 in sequence to connect the traction member to the second connecting rod 251. It is understandable that the connecting member 253 can be a variety of types of fasteners, such as bolts or nuts, and the specific selection depends on the requirements of the application scenario.

[0102] In one feasible embodiment, when it is necessary to process target modules of different widths or shapes, the operator only needs to connect the third connecting hole 2521 in the adjustment block 252 at one end of the first traction member 230 with the appropriate second connecting hole 2511 to quickly adjust the working spacing and angle of the hook 210, thereby ensuring stability and accuracy during the lifting process, thereby improving production efficiency and the versatility of the equipment.

[0103] It should be explained that only one of the first width adjustment member 240 and the second width adjustment member 250 may exist. Both of them can achieve width adaptation with the target module. When both exist, the first width adjustment member 240 and the second width adjustment member 250 can cooperate with each other to improve the stability of the entire lifting assembly 200.

[0104] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The hanger assembly 100 further includes a positioning beam 150, which is disposed on the hanger assembly 100 and extends along the first direction. The positioning beam 150 is provided with a plurality of first positioning holes 151. Figure 1 and Figure 3 The hoisting assembly 200 also includes: a third connecting rod 260, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the two sides of the sliding seats 220 away from the hook 210, and a second positioning hole 261 is provided on the third connecting rod 260, and the hoisting assembly 200 is fixed to the first positioning hole 151 of the hanger assembly 100 through the second positioning hole 261.

[0105] It is understandable that the positioning beam 150 is provided with a plurality of first positioning holes 151, which are evenly spaced and used to fix the position of the hoisting assembly 200. Each hoisting assembly 200 also includes a third connecting rod 260, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the side of the two sliding seats 220 away from the hook 210, providing a stable transverse connection structure. The third connecting rod 260 is provided with second positioning holes 261, which are fixed with the first positioning holes 151 on the positioning beam 150 through these second positioning holes 261, thereby ensuring the precise positioning and stability of the hoisting assembly 200 on the hanger assembly 100. By selecting different first positioning holes 151 and second positioning holes 261 for fixing, the position of the hoisting assembly 200 can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to target modules of different lengths. In this way, not only the compatibility of the sling with modules of various sizes is improved, but also the need for frequent replacement or reconfiguration of equipment is reduced.

[0106] Optionally, the hanger assembly 100 has a first beam 111, a second beam 112 and two connecting beams 113 to form a square frame. The positioning beam 150 is parallel to the first beam 111 and the second beam 112, and is arranged between the two first beams 111, and the two ends of the positioning beam 150 are respectively connected to the second beam 112.

[0107] In practical applications, assuming that we need to process target modules of different lengths, after the hoisting assembly 200 is displaced to the corresponding position through the slide rail and the sliding seat 220, the third connecting rod 260 on the hoisting assembly 200 is fixed through the multiple first positioning holes 151 on the positioning beam 150 on the hanger assembly 100. It can be that when the hoisting assembly 200 is displaced to a suitable position (matching the length of the target module), the second positioning hole 261 in the third connecting rod 260 and the first positioning hole 151 in the positioning beam 150 are fixed by a latch. In this way, the compatibility of the hoisting device with modules of various sizes is improved, and the need for frequent replacement or reconfiguration of equipment is reduced.

[0108] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The clamping assembly 300 includes a fixing seat 310 , two clamping plates 340 oppositely arranged on the fixing seat 310 , a hanging assembly 330 and an adjusting assembly 320 .

[0109] In this embodiment, the fixing seat 310 is a core component of the clamping assembly 300, and is used to install and support the two clamping plates 340. The fixing seat 310 may have a metal frame or structure that can withstand a large force. Optionally, in addition to the fixing seat 310 fixing the clamping plates 340, the fixing seat 310 may also cooperate with the adjustment assembly 320 to control the two clamping plates 340 to move repeatedly in the direction of each other to adjust the clamping force, so as to adapt to target modules of different widths.

[0110] In this embodiment, the hanging assembly 330 has a first end and a second end opposite to each other, the first end of the hanging assembly 330 is connected to the hanger assembly 100, and the other end of the hanging assembly 330 is connected to the fixing seat 310. The hanging assembly 330 is used to hang the fixing seat 310. Since the fixing seat 310 is also used to fix two clamping plates 340, and the two clamping plates 340 need to clamp the middle part of the target module, the hanging assembly 330 needs to have a certain strength to prevent the structure from collapsing.

[0111] In this embodiment, the distance between the two clamping plates 340 can be adjusted according to the size of the module, so as to ensure that a uniform and stable clamping force is provided to the modules of different widths.

[0112] In this embodiment, the adjustment component 320 is disposed on the fixing seat 310, and is used to adjust the relative distance between the two clamping plates 340. It is understandable that the adjustment component 320 may include one or more combinations of a screw, a gear rack, a hydraulic cylinder, etc.

[0113] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The hanging assembly 330 includes a plurality of second traction members 331 and a plurality of hanging rings 332 .

[0114] In this embodiment, the second traction member 331 has a first end and a second end that are arranged opposite to each other, and the first ends of the plurality of second traction members 331 are connected to the hanger assembly 100. It is understood that the second traction member 331 is a key component for connecting the hanger assembly 100 and the fixing seat 310, and can be made of high-strength materials, such as a steel wire rope, a chain or other durable traction devices. The first end of the second traction member 331 is connected to the hanger assembly 100, which can be achieved by a hook, a buckle or other quick connection device. The second end of the second traction member 331 is connected to the lifting ring 332 to ensure that the hanging assembly 330 can evenly distribute the tension.

[0115] The hanging assembly 330 evenly distributes the pulling force through the plurality of second traction members 331 and the hanging rings 332 to ensure that the fixing seat 310 and the clamping plate 340 thereon remain balanced and stable during the hanging process, and avoid deviation or damage caused by uneven force at a single point.

[0116] Optionally, the second traction member 331 is a flexible traction member. In this embodiment, the flexible traction member can absorb impact force and vibration to a certain extent, reduce shaking and impact caused by sudden movement or unstable operation during lifting, further protect the module of the vulnerable structure, and extend the service life of the equipment. Optionally, the flexible traction member can be a steel wire rope, chain or other high-strength material with certain flexibility. Its main feature is that it can produce a certain elastic deformation when subjected to force, thereby absorbing and buffering impact force and vibration.

[0117] It should be noted that, since a target module with a longer length is more likely to collapse in the middle during hoisting, while a module with a shorter length has a lower risk of collapse in the middle, the clamping assembly 300 can be detachably connected to the hanger assembly 100. Specifically, when processing a target module with a shorter length (e.g., less than one meter), the clamping assembly can be disassembled to simplify the operation process and improve efficiency; while when processing a target module with a longer length, a complete clamping assembly 300 is required to provide additional support and stability.

[0118] In this embodiment, the plurality of lifting rings 332 are connected to the second ends of the plurality of second traction members 331 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the hanging assembly 330 is used to hang the fixing seat 310. Optionally, the lifting ring 332 is fixed to the fixing seat 310 by welding or bolts to ensure a firm and reliable connection with the second traction member 331. Each lifting ring 332 is connected to a second traction member 331 to form a complete hanging system.

[0119] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The fixing seat 310 includes at least two fixing rods 311 , and each of the fixing rods 311 includes a main body section 3111 and positioning sections 3112 connected to both ends of the main body section 3111 .

[0120] Optionally, the main body section 3111 is extended along the second direction, and the two positioning sections 3112 are extended and arranged oppositely along the third direction, and the third direction is consistent with the extension direction of the hanging assembly 330; the two fixing rods 311 are connected to the second end of the hanging assembly 330. It can be understood that the main body section 3111 is extended along the second direction (which can refer to the width direction) to provide a main support structure. The main body section 3111 can be made of high-strength metal material to ensure that it has sufficient rigidity and load-bearing capacity. The positioning sections 3112 are connected to both ends of the main body section 3111, and extend along the third direction and are arranged oppositely, so that the positioning sections 3112 can be effectively connected to the clamping plate 340 and provide stable support. The positioning section 3112 can be made of high-strength material to ensure that it will not be deformed or damaged during the hoisting process.

[0121] Optionally, see Figure 5 The adjustment assembly 320 includes a plurality of adjustment bolts, which are arranged on at least one positioning section 3112 of each of the fixing rods 311, and the adjustment bolts pass through the positioning section 3112 and are connected to the clamping plate 340. It can be understood that the adjustment assembly 320 includes a plurality of adjustment bolts, which are installed on at least one positioning section 3112 of each of the fixing rods 311. The adjustment bolts pass through the positioning section 3112 and are connected to the clamping plate 340, and the distance between the clamping plates 340 can be adjusted by rotating the bolts. The adjustment bolts are usually equipped with locking nuts or other locking devices to ensure that the adjusted position will not be displaced.

[0122] In this embodiment, each positioning section 3112 of each fixing rod 311 is provided with the adjusting bolt to enhance the flexibility of the clamping assembly 300 .

[0123] Optionally, the positioning section 3112 and the main body section 3111 can be a solid metal rod or beam.

[0124] The positioning section 3112 is connected to the hanging assembly 330 to ensure that the clamping assembly 300 can be firmly suspended under the hanger assembly 100. Two clamping plates 340 are respectively connected to the two positioning sections 3112, and the clamping plates 340 are extended along the first direction. An adjustable clamping space is defined between the two clamping plates 340. By driving the positioning section 3112, the distance between the clamping plates 340 can be adjusted, thereby changing the size of the clamping space, so that the width of the target module can be adapted, thereby improving the compatibility of the module hanger 10.

[0125] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The clamping plate 340 is provided with a limiting groove 343 on one side facing the positioning section 3112, and the adjusting bolt has a rotating portion 321 limited in the limiting groove 343 and rotatably matched with the limiting groove 343. It can be understood that the limiting groove 343 mainly serves to allow the rotating portion 321 of the adjusting bolt to rotate and firmly connect the clamping plate 340 with the adjusting bolt to lift the clamping plate 340.

[0126] In this embodiment, the first fixing block 341 and the second fixing block 342 arranged on the first fixing block 341 are arranged on the side of the clamping plate 340 facing the positioning section 3112, the first fixing block 341 is arranged with a limiting groove 343, and the notch of the limiting groove 343 faces the adjusting bolt; the second fixing block 342 covers the notch of the limiting groove 343, and the second fixing block 342 is arranged with a through hole for the adjusting bolt to pass through at the position corresponding to the limiting groove 343, and the aperture of the through hole is smaller than the radial maximum width of the rotating part 321.

[0127] It is understandable that the second fixing block 342 is mounted on the first fixing block 341, and covers the notch of the limiting groove 343, so as to ensure that the rotating portion 321 of the adjusting bolt will not fall out of the limiting groove 343. The second fixing block 342 is provided with a through hole at the position corresponding to the limiting groove 343, and the through hole allows the adjusting bolt to pass through and connect with the clamping plate 340, and the aperture of the through hole is smaller than the maximum width of the rotating portion 321 of the adjusting bolt, so as to prevent the adjusting bolt from falling out of the limiting groove 343. The main function of the second fixing block 342 is to limit the rotating portion 321 in the limiting groove 343, so that the clamping plate 340 can move with the rotation of the adjusting bolt. When the operator rotates the adjusting bolt, the rotating portion 321 rotates in the limiting groove 343 and pushes or pulls the clamping plate 340 to move along the guide rail, thereby changing the spacing between the clamping plates 340.

[0128] It should be noted that the diameter of the through hole on the second fixing block 342 is smaller than the maximum width of the adjusting bolt rotating portion 321, ensuring that the adjusting bolt can rotate in the through hole. This not only prevents the adjusting bolt from escaping from the limiting groove 343, but also ensures that the clamp 340 remains stable during the adjustment process.

[0129] Optionally, in order to further ensure the stability of the position of the clamping plate 340, the adjusting bolt is usually equipped with a locking nut or other locking device. After the spacing adjustment is completed, the clamping plate 340 can be fixed in the current position by the locking device to prevent displacement or loosening during the lifting process. Optionally, the locking device can be set at a corresponding position on the positioning section 3112. After the tightness is determined, the locking device can ensure the stability of the structure.

[0130] In a feasible embodiment, the fixed seat 310 includes at least two fixed rods 311, each of the fixed rods 311 includes a main section 3111 and a positioning section 3112 connected to both ends of the main section 3111, the main section 3111 extends along the second direction, and the two positioning sections 3112 extend along the third direction and are arranged opposite to each other; the two fixed rods 311 are connected to the second end of the hanging assembly 330; the number of the second traction members 331 is four, and each of the fixed rods 311 is connected to the hanger assembly 100 through two second traction members 331; the third direction is consistent with the extension direction of the second traction member 331.

[0131] It is understandable that the two fixing rods 311 of the fixing seat 310 are arranged at intervals along the first direction, the main body section 3111 of each fixing rod 311 extends along the second direction, and the two positioning sections 3112 of each fixing rod 311 are arranged at intervals along the third direction. In this way, a two-side fixed structure is formed, which can cooperate with the clamping plate 340 to achieve higher stability. Optionally, the first ends of the two clamping plates 340 are respectively connected to the two positioning sections 3112 of a fixing seat 310, and the second ends of the two clamping plates 340 are respectively connected to the two positioning sections 3112 of the other fixing seat 310, forming an adjustable clamping space. In this way, the entire structure forms a four-point fixed hanging assembly 330 with higher stability.

[0132] In one embodiment, a cushion block 350 is disposed at a position of the clamping plate 340 and the fixing seat 310 facing the target module; the cushion block 350 is made of insulating material and / or anti-slip material.

[0133] In this embodiment, the pad 350 is installed on the surface of the clamping plate 340 and the fixing seat 310 that contacts the module. The use of insulating materials can prevent electrical short circuits or other electrical problems, and is particularly suitable for handling battery modules to ensure safety during operation. The anti-slip material increases friction to prevent the module from sliding or shifting during the hoisting process, further enhancing the stability and reliability of the clamping.

[0134] In general, see Figure 1 The module hanger 10 is composed of three main parts: a hanger assembly 100, a hoisting assembly 200 and a clamping assembly 300, so as to improve the compatibility of the module hanger 10. The hanger assembly 100 includes a first beam 111, a second beam 112 and two connecting beams 113 to form a square support body 110. A positioning beam 150 is provided between the first beam 111 and the second beam 112, and the two ends of the positioning beam 150 are respectively connected to the two connecting beams 113. The positioning beam 150 is provided with a plurality of first positioning holes 151, which are used to position the hoisting assembly 200 after the hoisting assembly 200 slides to a position adapted to the target module length. The hanging assembly 200 includes two hooks 210, a sliding seat 220, a third connecting rod 260 and a first traction member 230, wherein the hooks 210 are slidably connected to the hanger assembly 100 through the sliding seat 220, and the two ends of the third connecting rod 260 are connected to the sliding seat 220 and fixed to the first positioning hole 151 on the positioning beam 150 through the second positioning hole 261, so as to ensure that the spacing between the two hooks 210 is adjustable. The clamping assembly 300 includes a fixed seat 310, two oppositely arranged clamping plates 340, a hanging assembly 330 and an adjusting assembly 320, wherein the positioning section 3112 on the fixed seat 310 drives the clamping plates 340 to adjust the spacing along the second direction to form an adjustable clamping space, and the hanging assembly 330 uses a plurality of second traction members 331 and a hanging ring 332 to firmly hang the fixed seat 310 below the hanger assembly 100, so as to ensure that the clamping plates 340 can accurately clamp target modules of different widths. In this way, the module hanger 10 can adapt to target modules of various sizes and shapes and has high compatibility.

[0135] In addition, it should be explained that the target module can be a battery module, which is composed of multiple battery cells and fixed together by welding or mechanical connection to form an integral module. The battery module has two lifting holes at both ends to ensure a stable support point during the lifting process. The lifting hole can be circular, oval or other shapes, depending on the design requirements of the module.

[0136] The present application also proposes a battery production equipment, which includes a module hanger 10. The specific structure of the module hanger 10 refers to the above-mentioned embodiment. Since the battery production equipment adopts all the technical solutions of all the above-mentioned embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here one by one.

[0137] It is understood that battery production equipment refers to various mechanical equipment and systems used to manufacture and assemble batteries, which can cover the entire process from raw material processing, battery cell manufacturing, module assembly to final product packaging. Common battery production equipment includes but is not limited to coating machines, winding machines, welding equipment, assembly lines, and testing equipment.

[0138] It should be noted that, during the battery production process, the module hanger 10 is usually installed on the assembly line to efficiently and accurately transport and install the battery module.

[0139] Optionally, the module hanger 10 can be integrated into the battery module handling and positioning. After the battery module is manufactured, it needs to be transported to the next process for further processing or assembly. The module hanger 10 can grab and carry the battery module through the clamping assembly 300 to ensure that the battery module will not be damaged during the handling process. For example, when carrying a large-sized or irregularly shaped battery module, precise clamping and handling can be achieved by adjusting the distance between the clamps 340.

[0140] Optionally, the module hanger 10 can be integrated into the battery module assembly. In the process of assembling multiple battery cells into a battery module, the module hanger 10 can be used to hang the welded battery cell module into the battery pack box. By adjusting the position and spacing of the hanging assembly 200, the module hanger 10 can adapt to battery modules of different lengths and widths to ensure the stability and safety of the hanging process. In addition, the clamping assembly 300 can firmly clamp the middle of the module to prevent displacement or damage during the hanging process.
