[0036] An embodiment of the present invention discloses a tooling mechanism. Refer to Figure 1, which shows a schematic structural diagram of the tooling mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention. The tooling mechanism is used to fix the workpiece to be clamped. The tooling mechanism moves along with the conveyor line to send the workpiece to be clamped to a specified position or process. Herein, the present application embodiment does not specifically limit the workpiece to be clamped. For example, the workpiece to be clamped is a battery module.

The angle between the X direction and the Y direction is specifically set according to the use requirements, and the present application embodiment does not specifically limit this. For example, the X direction and the Y direction are perpendicular to each other.

The sliding direction of the first limit block 20 is parallel to the X direction. The positioning assembly 30 is respectively connected to the first limit block 20 and the base 10 to fix the first limit block 20 at any preset fixed position. Since the first limit block 20 has a plurality of preset fixed positions on the base 10, therefore, after some of the first limit blocks 20 are relatively fixed to the base 10 and the remaining part of the first limit blocks 20 are relatively fixed to the base 10, there are a plurality of distances between some of the first limit blocks 20 and the remaining part of the first limit blocks 20.

[0071] Optionally, referring to Figure 5 As shown, the tooling mechanism further includes a second guide rail 71 and a second slider 72; the second guide rail 71 is fixedly connected to the base 10, and the extending direction of the second guide rail 71 is parallel to the Y direction; the second slider 72 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 71 and is fixedly connected to the moving block 41; the second slider 72 and the second guide rail 71 enable the moving block 41 to move in the Y direction and can limit the sliding trajectory of the moving block 41 on the base 10, thereby avoiding the deflection of the moving block 41 and ensuring the fixing effect of the moving block 41 on the workpiece to be clamped.

[0072] Optionally, referring to Figure 5 As shown, there are multiple second sliders 72 and second guide rails 71; one end and the other end of the moving block 41 in the X direction are respectively fixedly connected to the second sliders 72, and a second guide rail 71 is respectively provided at one end and the other end of the moving block 41 in the X direction, and the second sliders 72 and the second guide rails 71 are slidably connected one by one.

[0073] In the tooling mechanism according to the embodiment of the present application, one end of the moving block 41 in the X direction is slidably connected to the base 10 through the second slider 72 and the second guide rail 71, and the other end of the moving block 41 in the X direction is also slidably connected to the base 10 through the second slider 72 and the second guide rail 71. Both ends of the moving block 41 in the X direction are slidably connected to the base 10 through the second slider 72 and the second guide rail 71. The moving block 41 has the advantages of stable sliding trajectory and not being prone to skew.

[0074] Optionally, as shown in Figure 5 To prevent the second slider 72 from sliding out of the second guide rail 71, a second stop block 15 is provided at the end of the second guide rail 71.

[0075] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 5 A second stop block 15 is provided at one end of the second guide rail 71 in the Y direction, and the other end of the second guide rail 71 in the Y direction is limited by the mounting block 52, so that the second slider 72 can only slide on the second guide rail 71.

[0076] Optionally, as shown in Figure 6 The moving block 41 further includes an abutting portion 48, which is used to connect with the second elastic member 51 and is fixedly connected to the second slider 72.

[0077] Optionally, as shown in Figure 4 There is a clearance 12 between the first limit block 20 and the base 10; the tooling mechanism further includes a support assembly 80, which is connected to the middle of one side of the base 10. In the direction away from the base 10, at least part of the support assembly 80 is lower than the first limit block 20 and the second limit block 40; one end and the other end of the support assembly 80 in the X direction can be located in the clearance 12, and the support assembly 80 is located between a pair of second limit blocks 40.

[0078] The support assembly 80 is used for supporting, limiting and positioning the workpiece to be clamped. The specific structure of the support assembly 80 is set according to the use requirements and the structure of the workpiece to be clamped. For example, as shown in Figure 1 The support assembly 80 includes four first long plates 81 and one second long plate 82. Two first long plates 81 are provided on one side of the second long plate 82 in the X direction, and two first long plates 81 are also provided on the other side of the second long plate 82 in the X direction. The two first long plates 81 on one side of the second long plate 82 in the X direction and the two first long plates 81 on the other side of the second long plate 82 in the X direction are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, and the four first long plates 81 are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the base 10. Among them, in the direction away from the base 10, the first long plate 81 is lower than the first limit block 20 and the second limit block 40.

[0079] Optionally, to ensure the structural safety of the workpiece to be clamped, the first limiting block 20, the second limiting block 40, and the supporting assembly 80 are all made of non-metallic materials.

[0080] Furthermore, to reduce the weight of the base 10, a plurality of weight-reducing holes 16 are provided in the base 10.

[0081] Furthermore, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, there is a clearance gap 12 between the first limiting block 20 and the positioning assembly 30 and the base 10. The end of the first long plate 81 near the X-direction end of the base can be located within the clearance gap 12 to prevent interference between the first limiting block 20 and the positioning assembly 30 and the first long plate 81.

[0082] The usage process of the tooling mechanism of the embodiment of the present application is as follows. Here, taking the example that there are two first limiting blocks 20, one of a pair of second limiting blocks 40 is a fixed block 42, and the other is a moving block 41, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown.

[0083] According to the size of the workpiece to be clamped in the X direction, pull up the positioning assembly 30. After sliding the first limiting block 20 to a preset fixed position adapted to the size of the workpiece to be clamped in the X direction, release the positioning assembly 30. The two pins 31 on the positioning assembly 30 are respectively inserted into the corresponding insertion holes 11 under the elastic force of the first elastic member 17. Fix all the first limiting blocks 20 to the corresponding preset fixed positions in the above manner. It has the advantages of being simple and convenient to change the preset fixed position.

[0084] Manually move the second opening and closing part 44 of the moving block 41, or the opening and closing mechanism moves the second opening and closing part 44 of the moving block 41, so that the moving block 41 moves against the second elastic member 51, increasing the distance between the moving block 41 and the fixed block 42, so that the space between the moving block 41 and the fixed block 42 can accommodate the workpiece to be clamped. Then place the workpiece to be clamped on the supporting assembly 80. Release the second opening and closing part 44, and the moving block 41 moves towards the workpiece to be clamped, thereby clamping the workpiece to be clamped between the moving block 41 and the fixed block 42.

[0085] The tooling mechanism of the embodiment of the present application can change the distance between the first limit blocks 20 at one end and the other end of the base in the X direction, and change the distance between a pair of second limit blocks 40, so that multiple first limit blocks 20 and multiple second limit blocks 40 can enclose multiple size spaces. These multiple size spaces can accommodate the installation of workpieces to be clamped with multiple different sizes, having the advantages of strong compatibility and high installation accuracy. In a production line, compared with a tooling mechanism that can only install workpieces to be clamped with a single size, the tooling mechanism that can adapt to multiple workpieces to be clamped can greatly improve production efficiency and effectively reduce production costs. Moreover, the tooling mechanism of the embodiment of the present application also has the advantages of simple structure and simple operation. Moreover, the first limit blocks 20, the second limit blocks 40 and the base 10 can play a role in protecting the workpieces to be clamped, and can ensure the structural safety of the workpieces to be clamped to the greatest extent.

[0086] This patent belongs to the new energy power battery module production and manufacturing industry, and is a tooling that can realize the installation of multiple different power battery modules.

[0087] The embodiment of the present utility model also discloses a battery production line, which includes a conveyor line and the above-mentioned tooling mechanism, and the conveyor line is used to transport the tooling mechanism.

[0088] Since the tooling mechanism can change the distance between the first limit blocks 20 at one end and the other end of the base in the X direction, and change the distance between a pair of second limit blocks 40, so that multiple first limit blocks 20 and multiple second limit blocks 40 can enclose multiple size spaces. These multiple size spaces can accommodate the installation of workpieces to be clamped with multiple different sizes, having the advantages of strong compatibility and high installation accuracy. In a battery production line, compared with a tooling mechanism that can only install workpieces to be clamped with a single size, the tooling mechanism that can adapt to multiple workpieces to be clamped can greatly improve production efficiency and effectively reduce production costs.

[0089] Moreover, the first limit blocks 20, the second limit blocks 40 and the base 10 can play a role in protecting the workpieces to be clamped, and can ensure the structural safety of the workpieces to be clamped to the greatest extent, so that the yield rate of the battery production line is higher.
