[0061] The working principle of the present utility model:

[0062] Attached Figure 2 is the state after the rotation of the first side plate 31 fastening assembly and the second side plate 51 fastening assembly. Attached Figure 3This is the vertical state of the first side plate 31 fastening assembly and the second side plate 51 fastening assembly. The first side plate 31 fastening assembly and the second side plate 51 fastening assembly are arranged oppositely, respectively controlling the first side plate 31 and the second side plate 51 to fasten the battery cell material with high precision. The first side plate 31, the battery cell material, and the second side plate 51 form a combined body. In this embodiment, the transparent plate 19 is quartz glass, which has light transmittance. The transparent plate 19, the first moving substrate 7, and the second moving substrate 8 can all be made of transparent materials. UV curing lamps are arranged on the sides of the first moving substrate 7 and the second moving substrate 8 away from the battery backing plate. The light of the UV curing lamps can pass through the glass to cure the glue between the battery cell material and the first side plate 31 and the glue between the battery cell material and the second side plate 51. Specifically, the first driving element 32 and the second driving element 52 can both be composed of a motor, a coupling, etc. to realize the flipping and swinging of the first flipping and fastening mechanism 3 and the second flipping and fastening mechanism 5. The first driving element 32 drives the first moving substrate 7 to axially flip, with the bottom of the first moving substrate 7 as the axis of flipping. Since the first side plate 31 is accommodated on the first moving substrate 7, it can drive the first side plate 31 to swing towards the battery cell backing plate 1. Similarly, the second driving element 52 drives the second moving substrate 8 to axially flip, with the bottom of the second moving substrate 8 as the axis of flipping. Since the second side plate 51 is accommodated on the second moving substrate 8, it can drive the second side plate 51 to swing towards the battery cell backing plate 1. The first groove of the first side plate 31 and the second groove of the second side plate 51 are the same and are both adapted to the width of each battery cell unit in the battery cell material. Specifically, the first side plate 31 is accommodated in the first area 9 of the first moving substrate 7, and the second side plate 51 is accommodated in the second area 10 of the second moving substrate 8. The first limiting mechanism can limit and fix the first side plate 31, and the second limiting mechanism can limit and fix the second side plate 51. In this embodiment, the first limiting mechanism and the second limiting mechanism are composed of a bottom plate 20, a side clamping element 11, and a top clamping element 12, and are not limited to this solution. The bottom plate 20 can be arranged at the bottom of the first area 9 or the second area 10, and the side clamping elements 11 can be arranged on both sides to clamp the corresponding side plate (the first side plate 31 or the second side plate 51), or only the bottom plate 20 and the top clamping element 12 can be arranged. The top telescopic element 121, the side telescopic element 111, the lifting assembly 2, the first closing driving mechanism 4, and the second closing driving mechanism 6 can all be selected as telescopic mechanisms such as electric cylinders or air cylinders. In this embodiment, the lifting movable block and the transverse movable block are both sliders, and other movable methods can also be selected. The lifting movable block is slidably matched with the lifting guide rail 16, and the transverse movable block is slidably matched with the transverse guide rail 18 to improve the lifting movement accuracy and the transverse movement accuracy.The lifting assembly 2 drives the cell backing plate 1 to move up and down simultaneously. At the same time, the first side plate 31 of the first flipping and clamping mechanism 3 and the second side plate 51 of the second flipping and clamping mechanism 5 can be started to flip synchronously, so that the first side plate 31 and the second side plate 51 perform matching clamping on the left and right ends of the cell material on the cell backing plate 1. The two sides of the cell material respectively fall into the first groove and the second groove. The synchronous flipping of the first side plate 31 of the first flipping and clamping mechanism 3 and the second side plate 51 of the second flipping and clamping mechanism 5 enables the two sides of each cell unit of the cell material on the cell backing plate 1 (the cell material is composed of multiple cell units) to be completely and accurately filled into the first groove and the second groove. During the flipping process of the first flipping and clamping mechanism 3 and the second flipping and clamping mechanism 5, the lifting assembly 2 ensures that the bottom of the cell material slides into the bottoms of the first groove and the second groove simultaneously.

[0063] The positioning groove 13 is provided to facilitate the positioning of the first side plate 31 or the second side plate 51. The side limit block 112 is L-shaped, which improves the clamping stability of the first side plate 31 or the second side plate 51. Among them, the top limit block 122 can also be set to be L-shaped to prevent the first side plate 31 from sliding out of the first area 9 or the second side plate 51 from sliding out of the second area 10.

[0064] Refer to Figure 1 , the label A is the cell material. The first side plate 31 has a plurality of first grooves, and the second side plate 51 has a plurality of second grooves. It can be seen that the first side plate 31 and the second side plate 51 have many groove features. Cooperating with the comb-shaped cell material, both the first side plate 31 and the second side plate 51 are made of transparent materials.

[0065] Refer to Figure 7 , the lifting assembly 2 can be selected to be driven by an electric cylinder, so that the lifting base 15 moves up and down on the lifting guide rail 16 to adjust the height of the cell backing plate 1. The lifting assembly 2 is mainly used to carry the cell material and control the height after the cells are clamped.

[0066] Compared with the currently common battery side plate combination mechanisms, this solution has the characteristics of simple structure, high efficiency, and high stability. It is an excellent device in the side plate clamping mechanism, especially capable of more effectively solving the clamping process of side plates with grooves. Most of the current side plate clamping mechanisms are horizontal movement structures without rotational ability, and they cannot well solve the problems of low clamping efficiency and low clamping yield of grooved side plates.

[0067] The two ends of the comb-shaped cell material can be filled into the first grooves of the corresponding first side plate 31 and the second grooves of the corresponding second side plate 51. The comb-shaped cell material is clamped through the rotational movements of the first side plate 31 clamping assembly and the second side plate 51 clamping assembly and the height adjustment movement of the lifting assembly 2. The clamping accuracy is high, avoiding the deviation of the cells in the cell material, and the clamping success rate is high, improving the work efficiency.

[0068] The technical means disclosed by the solution of the present utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present utility model, several improvements and modifications can be made, and these improvements and modifications are also regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model.
