Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of battery transportation, and particularly relates to a battery transportation clamping mechanism. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the battery industry in the new energy field, batteries, as a convenient and high-energy-density mobile power source, are widely used in fields such as electric vehicles. As a key component of the vehicle power system, battery components play a decisive role in the overall performance of the vehicle. However, the assembly process of battery components is very complex, involving multiple processes such as cell gluing, stacking assembly, and welding. Currently, the common assembly tool - the jaw device - has many problems.

[0003] For example, a Chinese utility model patent with the publication number CN216335128U and the name of a lithium battery jaw includes two sets of clamping components for clamping the two side walls of the lithium battery and a driving component for driving the two sets of clamping components to be centered and clamped. Among them, the clamping component includes a clamping arm, a clamping block, an adjusting block, and a guide sleeve. Although this utility model can avoid damaging the lithium battery module due to excessive clamping force when clamping the battery component, when clamping the battery for movement, only relying on the clamping force and the friction between the jaw and the battery to lock the battery cannot ensure that the lithium battery is firmly clamped between the jaws without the battery shifting in position or falling off. In addition, in addition to the disadvantages of being prone to falling, shifting, and unstable transportation, the existing jaw device also has the defect of low grasping efficiency. Generally, two grasping blocks are set, and only one battery can be grasped at a time, and a group of batteries needs to be grasped in multiple times. Summary of the Utility Model
