The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0039] This embodiment provides a transfer tray for battery connection tabs, which is used to transfer copper-aluminum connection tabs of batteries. As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the transfer tray for battery connection tabs includes a base 1 and a support assembly 2.

[0040] Specifically, a first limiting groove 11 is recessed on the base 1, and the cross-sectional shape of the first limiting groove 11 matches the shape of the battery connection tab 100. The battery connection tab 100 can be accommodated through the first limiting groove 11 to perform preliminary positioning on the battery connection tab 100 and limit the movement of the battery connection tab 100 during transportation. At the same time, the support assembly 2 is flexible, the support assembly 2 is detachably arranged at the bottom of the first limiting groove 11, the battery connection tab 100 is placed on the support assembly 2, and there is a gap between the battery connection tab 100 and the bottom of the first limiting groove 11. By isolating the battery connection tab 100 from the bottom of the first limiting groove 11 through the flexible support assembly 2, the contact area between the battery connection tab 100 and the bottom of the first limiting groove 11 can be effectively reduced, and at the same time, the flexible material can also weaken the scratching and wear of the battery connection tab 100 on the transfer tray, thereby improving the service life of the transfer tray.

[0041] Optionally, continue to refer to Figure 1 , there are multiple first limiting grooves 11, and the multiple first limiting grooves 11 are arranged in an array, preferably arranged in a rectangular array. One battery connection tab 100 can be placed in each first limiting groove 11, thereby realizing the transfer of multiple battery connection tabs 100 and improving the transfer efficiency. The specific number of the first limiting grooves 11 can be determined according to actual usage requirements and is not limited here.

[0042] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the first limiting groove 11 is a rectangular groove to match the shape of the battery connection tab 100. The base 1 has a cuboid structure to facilitate the array arrangement of the first limiting grooves 11, improve the compactness of the overall structure, and save space.

[0043] Furthermore, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, a positioning hole 13 is provided at the bottom of the first limiting groove 11 for positioning the protruding portion 101 of the battery connection piece 100. The diameter of the positioning hole 13 is slightly larger than the diameter of the circular protruding portion 101 of the battery connection piece 100 to perform secondary positioning on the battery connection piece 100. At the same time, since the protruding portion 101 of the battery connection piece 100 extends into the positioning hole 13, the above setting can also save space in the height direction of the base 1 and prevent the stacking height from being too high when multiple bases 1 are stacked.

[0044] Furthermore, a plurality of weight-reducing holes 14 are provided on the base 1 to reduce the weight of the base 1 and achieve the goal of light weight.

[0045] As Figures 1 - 4 shown, a support assembly 2 is provided in each first limiting groove 11 to support the battery connection piece 100.

[0046] Specifically, the support assembly 2 includes a support column 21. An installation hole 111 is provided through the bottom of the first limiting groove 11, and the support column 21 is detachably inserted into the installation hole 111. The top surface of the support column 21 protrudes from the bottom surface of the first limiting groove 11, and the battery connection piece 100 is arranged on the support column 21. The support column 21 can support the battery connection piece 100 to ensure that the battery connection piece 100 does not directly contact the bottom of the first limiting groove 11, reducing the wear of the transfer tray. At the same time, the support column 21 is flexible. When the top surface of the support column 21 contacts the battery connection piece 100, it can also reduce the wear of the battery connection piece 100. When the support column 21 is severely worn, the support column 21 can be directly replaced without replacing the transfer tray, increasing the number of times the transfer tray can be recycled and improving its service life.

[0047] In this embodiment, a plurality of support columns 21 are provided, and the plurality of support columns 21 respectively correspond to the vertex angles of the battery connection piece 100 one by one. Specifically, there are 4 support columns 21, and the top surfaces of the 4 support columns 21 form a placement surface, and the battery connection piece 100 is arranged on the placement surface. It can be understood that the number of support columns 21 is not limited here as long as it can stably support the battery connection piece 100 and prevent the battery connection piece 100 from shaking or falling during transportation.

[0048] In other embodiments, the support assembly 2 can also be structures such as a support ring or a support bar, which can all achieve the purpose of isolating the battery connection piece 100 from the bottom of the first limiting groove 11 with a small contact area and effectively reducing the wear of the battery connection piece 100 and the transfer tray.

[0049] More specifically, as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the support column 21 includes a support portion 211, a connection portion 212, and a clamping portion 213. The connection portion 212 is inserted into the mounting hole 111. The support portion 211 is disposed at one end of the connection portion 212 close to the bottom of the first limiting groove 11. The end face of the support portion 211 facing away from the connection portion 212 protrudes from the bottom surface of the first limiting groove 11, and the battery connection piece 100 is disposed on the support portion 211. The clamping portion 213 is disposed at one end of the connection portion 212 facing away from the support portion 211, and the clamping portion 213 can be clamped to the side wall of the orifice of the mounting hole 111 on the side away from the first limiting groove 11. Through the support portion 211 and the clamping portion 213, the support column 21 can be stably fixed at the bottom of the first limiting groove 11, improving the structural stability.

[0050] More specifically, a step structure 112 is provided at the orifice of the mounting hole 111 facing the first limiting groove 11. The support portion 211 abuts against the step surface of the step structure 112, and the height of the support portion 211 is greater than the height of the step structure 112. The step structure 112 can play a role in guiding and positioning when the support column 21 is inserted into the mounting hole 111, ensuring the smooth installation of the support column 21. At the same time, part of the support portion 211 is located within the step structure 112, which can also prevent the support portion 211 from being misaligned and shaken, thereby causing displacement and wear of the battery connection piece 100.

[0051] Further, along the direction away from the bottom of the first limiting groove 11, the diameter of the mounting hole 111 gradually decreases. The above setting can improve the reliability of the connection between the support column 21 and the mounting hole 111, preventing the support column 21 from being disengaged from the mounting hole 111.

[0052] In this embodiment, the top surface of the support portion 211 is 4 - 6 mm higher than the bottom surface of the first limiting groove 11, preferably 5 mm.

[0053] Continue to refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 , in this embodiment, 24 first limiting grooves 11 are formed on the base 1 and arranged in a 4*6 array. The support assembly 2 further includes a connecting member 22. The support columns 21 on the same side in the same column or the same row of the plurality of first limiting grooves 11 are connected by the connecting member 22. Avoidance grooves 12 are communicatedly opened on the side walls of the first limiting grooves 11, and the connecting member 22 is located in the avoidance grooves 12. The connecting member 22 connects the plurality of support columns 21 into a whole, which is beneficial to the overall replacement of the support assembly 2 and improves the operation efficiency of replacing the support column 21 in the later stage.

[0054] Specifically, the support column 21 and the connecting member 22 are injection molded from TPE material. TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) not only has excellent properties such as high elasticity, aging resistance, and oil resistance of traditional cross-linked vulcanized rubber, but also has the advantages of convenient processing and a wide range of processing methods of ordinary plastics, effectively improving the service life and durability of the support assembly 2.

[0055] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly explaining the present invention, rather than limiting the implementation manners of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all implementation manners here. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
