Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model mainly relates to the technical field of cage vehicles, in particular to a battery core bundling device. Background Art

[0002] A lithium battery pack is generally composed of several cells stacked together, which need to be firmly fixed to each other. Manual bundling is currently used, but it is easy to cause skewness, deformation, and excessive deviation in the position and distance of the strapping tape after bundling. A baler is also used for bundling. If the stack of cells is not initially fixed before bundling, the force on the tightening surface of the baler's strap is greater than that on the opposite side, and there is friction between the strap and the end plate. After bundling with the baler, the module will present a fan shape, resulting in deviation in the fixed position of the module, affecting the packaging quality.

[0003] The existing technology uses a limit block at the bottom to limit the position of the battery cell, and digs a wire groove for the binding belt. After the battery system is assembled, this fixture is used to bundle the modules together, which is labor-saving and quick while greatly reducing labor costs. However, the position of the limit block is fixed, which cannot meet the bundling requirements of various types of battery cells, and the force cannot be controlled when the battery cell is pressed sideways. If the force is too small, there will be gaps between the battery cells that interfere with bundling, and if the force is too large, the battery cell is easily damaged. Utility Model Content
