[0017] In some embodiments, the module positioning mechanism includes a third positioning driving member and a third positioning member; the third positioning member is connected to the third positioning driving member, and the third positioning driving member is configured to drive the third positioning member to move along a second direction, so that the third positioning member abuts and positions the battery cell module, and the second direction intersects the first direction. The third positioning driving member can drive the third positioning member to move in the second direction, so that when the battery cell module is placed, the third positioning member can be in a position away from the battery cell module, thereby facilitating the placement of the battery cell module.
[0018] In some embodiments, the number of the module positioning mechanisms is two, the two module positioning mechanisms are arranged along the second direction, and the two third positioning members in the two module positioning mechanisms are oppositely arranged.

The third direction intersects the first direction. By the pressing driving member, the shaping member can be driven to position the battery cell module in the third direction, which is conducive to further improving the positioning accuracy of the battery cell module, reducing the step difference between the first cold plate and the battery cell module or between the battery cell modules in the third direction, and improving the assembly accuracy of the battery device.
[0023] In some embodiments, the pressing driving member is configured to drive the shaping member to rotate around an axis parallel to the third direction and slide along the third direction.

[0043] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this application will be further described with reference to the embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Detailed implementation manners
[0044] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0045] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) in the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement conditions between components in a specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0046] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, terms such as "connection" and "fixation" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixation" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components or the interaction relationship between two components, unless otherwise clearly limited. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific situations.
[0047] In addition, the descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the present application are only for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In addition, the meaning of "and / or" appearing throughout the text is that it includes three parallel solutions. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes solution A, solution B, or a solution that satisfies both A and B at the same time. In addition, the technical solutions between various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that those of ordinary skill in the art can implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope required by the present application.
[0048] A battery, that is, a device for storing electric energy. It is not only widely used in energy storage power systems such as hydraulic, thermal, wind, and solar power stations, but also widely used in electric transportation means such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and electric vehicles, as well as other fields.
[0049] Among them, when the battery device is working, the battery cells inside it will generate heat. If this heat is too high, it will have an adverse impact on the performance and service life of the battery device. Therefore, a cold plate is usually provided inside the battery device to dissipate heat from the battery cells. And, in order to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the battery cells, cold plates are usually provided on both opposite sides of the battery cells.
[0050] At this time, in order to improve the manufacturing efficiency of the battery device, in the related art, the battery device is set to include an independent first cold plate and at least two modularized battery cell modules stacked and assembled. Each battery cell module includes at least two battery cells connected as a whole and a second cold plate. At least two battery cells can be connected side by side, and the second cold plate can be connected to the side of the battery cell module facing away from the first cold plate. In this way, by stacking and assembling the first cold plate and each modularized battery cell module in one direction, cold plates can be provided on both opposite sides of the battery cells.
[0051] However, during the actual assembly process, errors are likely to occur during the placement of the first cold plate and the battery cell module, making it impossible to accurately align the two, resulting in an impact on the subsequent assembly accuracy of the battery device.
[0052] Therefore, based on the above considerations, in order to solve the problem of low assembly accuracy of the battery device by the battery assembly equipment in the related art, the present application proposes a new type of battery assembly equipment. The battery assembly equipment includes a cold plate positioning mechanism and a module positioning mechanism to respectively perform positioning correction on the first cold plate and the battery cell module placed on the bearing mechanism through the cold plate positioning mechanism and the module positioning mechanism, improve the accuracy of alignment between the two, and thus facilitate improving the subsequent assembly accuracy.
[0053] Next, the structure of the battery assembly equipment proposed in the present application will be explained by way of an embodiment:
[0054] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 and Figure 13 In an embodiment of the present application, the battery assembly equipment 1000 includes an assembly unit 100. The assembly unit 100 includes a bearing mechanism 10, a cold plate positioning mechanism 20, a module positioning mechanism 30, and a first pushing mechanism 40. The bearing mechanism 10 is configured to place the first cold plate 2010A and the battery cell module 2030. The cold plate positioning mechanism 20 is configured to position the first cold plate 2010A placed on the bearing mechanism 10. The module positioning mechanism 30 is configured to position the battery cell module 2030 placed on the bearing mechanism 10. The first pushing mechanism 40 is configured to drive the battery cell module 2030 placed on the bearing mechanism 10 to move in the first direction so that the battery cell module 2030 can approach and abut against the first cold plate 2010A.
[0055] The assembly unit 100 may be one in number, or of course, two or more. When the number of the assembly units 100 is at least two, the at least two assembly units 100 may be arranged on a rotating platform 310 as introduced below, so that a battery device 2000 can be successively assembled through the at least two assembly units 100. Of course, the at least two assembly units 100 may also be independently distributed, so that each assembly unit 100 is used to assemble a battery device 2000.
[0056] The carrying mechanism 10 can be used to place the first cold plate 2010A and the battery cell module 2030. The battery cell module 2030 includes at least two battery cells 2031 and the second cold plate 2010B connected as a whole as introduced above, so as to play a role in carrying the first cold plate 2010A and the battery cell module 2030. Among them, the carrying mechanism 10 may include a support frame 11 and an adsorption seat 12 as introduced below, so as to respectively place the battery cell module 2030 and the first cold plate 2010A through different structures. Of course, this application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the carrying mechanism 10 may also only include the support frame 11, or only include a support plate, or only include a support seat, so as to place the battery cell module 2030 and the first cold plate 2010A through the same structure. That is, this application does not limit the structural type of the carrying mechanism 10, as long as it can be used to place the first cold plate 2010A and the battery cell module 2030. In addition, the placement of the first cold plate 2010A and the battery cell module 2030 on the carrying mechanism 10 can be realized by a transfer mechanism for automatic placement as introduced below, or of course, by manual placement. This application also does not limit the placement method of the first cold plate 2010A and the battery cell module 2030 on the carrying mechanism 10. In addition, the first cold plate 2010A and the battery cell module 2030 can be stacked in the first direction on the carrying mechanism 10. When the battery assembly device 1000 is in a normal installation state, with the ground as a reference, the first direction may be a horizontal direction, in other words, it can also be the thickness direction of the first cold plate 2010A and the battery cell module 2030. Moreover, the first direction is also defined within a single assembly unit 100. In addition, after placing the first cold plate 2010A on the carrying mechanism 10, the battery cell modules 2030 are successively placed only subsequently to directly complete the assembly of a battery device 2000.
[0057] The cold plate positioning mechanism 20 can be used to position the first cold plate 2010A so that the first cold plate 2010A can be accurately placed at a preset placement position. Among them, the cold plate positioning mechanism 20 can simultaneously include a first positioning component 21 and a second positioning component 23 as introduced below to achieve positioning of the first cold plate 2010A in the second direction and the third direction. When the first direction is a horizontal direction as introduced above, or the thickness direction of the first cold plate 2010A and the battery cell module 2030; the second direction can be another horizontal direction intersecting the first direction, or the length direction of the first cold plate 2010A and the battery cell module 2030; the third direction can be the up and down direction, or the height direction of the first cold plate 2010A and the battery cell module 2030. Of course, this application is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the cold plate positioning mechanism 20 can also only include one of the first positioning component 21 and the second positioning component 23.
[0058] The module positioning mechanism 30 can be used to position the battery cell module 2030 so that the battery cell module 2030 can be accurately placed at a preset placement position to achieve accurate alignment with the first cold plate 2010A, especially the alignment of the cold pipes 2010a on the second cold plate 2010B in the battery cell module 2030 with the cold pipes 2010a on the first cold plate 2010A. Among them, the module positioning mechanism 30 can include a third positioning driving member and a third positioning member 33 as introduced below to achieve positioning of the battery cell module 2030 in the second direction; of course, it can also further include a fourth positioning driving member and a fourth positioning member to achieve positioning of the battery cell module 2030 in the third direction; or, the module positioning mechanism 30 only includes the fourth positioning driving member and the fourth positioning member.
[0059] The first pushing mechanism 40 can be used to provide power to drive the battery cell module 2030 to move along the first direction until it abuts against the first cold plate 2010A. Among them, the first pushing mechanism 40 can include a first pushing member and a first abutting member 43 as introduced below. Of course, this application is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the first pushing mechanism 40 can also only include the first pushing member to directly drive the battery cell module 2030 through the first pushing member.
[0060] In addition, the battery assembly device 1000 can also include a machine body 70 as introduced below to provide an installation position for installing the bearing mechanism 10, the cold plate positioning mechanism 20, the module positioning mechanism 30, the first pushing mechanism 40, and other components in the battery assembly device 1000, thereby facilitating the battery assembly device 1000 to be assembled into a whole for use. Of course, this application is not limited thereto. The bearing mechanism 10, the cold plate positioning mechanism 20, the module positioning mechanism 30, and the first pushing mechanism 40 can also be directly installed on the ground.
[0061] After the first cold plate 2010A and the battery cell module 2030 in the technical solution of the present application are placed on the carrying mechanism 10, the cold plate positioning mechanism 20 and the module positioning mechanism 30 can respectively perform positioning correction on the first cold plate 2010A and the battery cell module 2030, so that the first cold plate 2010A and the battery cell module 2030 can be accurately aligned and stacked for assembly subsequently, which is conducive to improving the assembly accuracy of the battery device 2000.
[0062] Please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figures 8 to 12 In an embodiment of the present application, the cold plate positioning mechanism 20 includes a first positioning component 21 and a second positioning component 23. The first positioning component 21 is configured to abut and position the first cold plate 2010A in a second direction, and the second direction intersects the first direction; the second positioning component 23 is configured to abut and position the first cold plate 2010A in a third direction, and the third direction intersects the first direction and the second direction.
[0063] The first positioning component 21 may include a first positioning driving member 211 and a first positioning member 213 as introduced below. The first positioning driving member 211 drives the first positioning member 213 to move closer to the first cold plate 2010A, thereby enabling the first positioning member 213 to abut and position the first cold plate 2010A. Of course, the first positioning component 21 may also only include the first positioning member 213 arranged in a fixed manner. In this case, the first positioning member 213 may be provided with a guiding surface to guide the first cold plate 2010A to be placed at a preset position. Similarly, the second positioning component 23 may include a second positioning driving member 231 and a second positioning member 233 as introduced below. The second positioning driving member 231 drives the second positioning member 233 to move closer to the first cold plate 2010A, thereby enabling the second positioning member 233 to abut and position the first cold plate 2010A. Of course, the second positioning component 23 may also only include the second positioning member 233 arranged in a fixed manner. In this case, the second positioning member 233 may be provided with a guiding surface to guide the first cold plate 2010A to be placed at a preset position. In addition, the number of the first positioning components 21 may be one, and of course, it may also be two or more. When the number of the first positioning components 21 is at least two, at least one first positioning component 21 may be provided on each side in the second direction. The number of the second positioning components 23 may be one, and of course, it may also be two or more. Among them, when the third direction is the up-and-down direction as introduced above, the height position of the second positioning component 23 may be lower than the height position of the first positioning component 21 to abut and position the bottom of the first cold plate 2010A below the first cold plate 2010A. At this time, interference effects on the placement of the first cold plate 2010A by the second positioning component 23 can be avoided. Of course, the present application is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the height position of the second positioning component 23 may also be set to be the same as the height position of the first positioning component 21, or higher than the height position of the first positioning component 21, so that the second positioning component 23 can abut and position the first cold plate 2010A at the top of the first cold plate 2010A. Or, the height position of some of the second positioning components 23 is lower than the height position of the first positioning component 21, the height position of some of the second positioning components 23 is set to be the same as the height position of the first positioning component 21, or higher than the height position of the first positioning component 21. In addition, it should be noted that the first positioning component 21 may be used to directly position the first cold plate 2010A, and of course, it may also be used to position the cold pipe 2010a provided on the first cold plate 2010A, thereby indirectly positioning the first cold plate 2010A.
[0064] In this embodiment, the cold plate positioning mechanism 20 can respectively abut and position the first cold plate 2010A in the second direction and the third direction through the first positioning component 21 and the second positioning component 23, which is beneficial to improving the positioning accuracy of the first cold plate 2010A, so as to further improve the alignment accuracy between the subsequent first cold plate 2010A and the battery cell module 2030.
[0065] Please refer to Figure 3 , and Figures 8 to 10 , in an embodiment of the present application, the first positioning component 21 includes a first positioning driving member 211 and a first positioning member 213; the first positioning member 213 is connected to the first positioning driving member 211, the first positioning member 213 is provided with a first positioning groove 215, and the first positioning driving member 211 is configured to drive the first positioning member 213 to move in the second direction.
