[0047] Refer to Figures 1 to 7As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present application provides a module-in-box tooling, including: a base 1, two transportation components 2, and a first operating member 3. The two transportation components 2 are movably arranged on the base 1, the two transportation components 2 are parallel to each other, the transportation component 2 has a plurality of rotatably arranged rolling bodies 21, and each of the rolling bodies 21 is arranged in sequence along the length direction of the transportation component 2. The first operating member 3 is arranged on the base 1, and the first operating member 3 is respectively in transmission connection with the two transportation components 2 to drive the two transportation components 2 to move synchronously along the arrangement direction of the two transportation components 2. The transportation component 2 of the module-in-box tooling of the present application has a plurality of rotatably arranged rolling bodies 21. During the installation of the battery module, first support one end of the module-in-box tooling of the present application at or near the entrance of the battery cavity, then place the battery module on the transportation component 2 through a hoisting device, and finally use manpower to push the battery module at one end away from the box body. The bottom of the battery module rolls and moves on the rolling body 21, with small rolling friction and small pushing resistance, and the battery module can be easily and conveniently put into the box. Moreover, the first operating member 3 can synchronously adjust the synchronous movement of the two transportation components 2 along the arrangement direction of the two transportation components 2 to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the battery module in the left-right direction when it is put into the box.

[0048] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown in the figure, the transportation component 2 has a nut 22. The first operating member 3 has a connecting seat 31 and a lead screw 32. The connecting seat 31 is connected to the base 1, the lead screw 32 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 31, the lead screw 32 is threadedly connected to the nut 22, and the rotation of the lead screw 32 can drive the two transportation components 2 to move synchronously. A guide rod 11 is arranged on the base 1, and the guide rod 11 extends along the arrangement direction of the two transportation components 2. The two transportation components 2 are slidably connected to the guide rod 11, and the guide rod 11 limits the transportation component 2 to move only along the arrangement direction of the two transportation components 2, so that the two transportation components 2 cannot move or rotate in other directions, to facilitate the adjustment of the left-right direction when the battery module is put into the box. There are two nuts 22, and the two nuts 22 are respectively arranged at the bottoms of the two transportation components 2. The lead screw 32 is threadedly connected to the two nuts 22, and rotating the lead screw 32 can drive the two transportation components 2 to move synchronously to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the battery module in the left-right direction when it is put into the box.

[0049] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a first turntable 33 is provided on the first operating member 3, one end of the lead screw 32 is connected to the first turntable 33, and a first crank 34 is connected to the side of the first turntable 33 away from the lead screw 32. The first crank 34 is convenient for people to hold to rotate the first turntable 33. The first turntable 33 rotates to drive the lead screw 32 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 32 drives the two transport components 2 to adjust the left and right positions, and the adjustment operation is convenient and quick.

[0050] A plurality of guide rods 11 are arranged on the base 1. Each guide rod 11 is extended along the arrangement direction of the two transport components 2. The transport components 2 are slidably connected to the guide rods 11, and the two transport components 2 can slide along the guide rods 11 to be relatively close or far away, so as to adjust the distance between the two transport components 2. The module boxing tooling of the present application can be adapted to battery modules of different sizes, and the distance between the two transport components 2 can be adjusted according to the battery modules of different sizes. When adjusting, the lead screw 32 and the transport component 2 can be separated, and the lead screw 32 can be re-attached after the spacing between the two transport components 2 is adjusted. For example, the nut 22 and the transport component 2 are detachably connected, and the nut 22 can be removed to release the limit of the lead screw on the distance between the two transport components 2. After adjusting the distance between the two transport components 2, the position of the nut on the lead screw is also adjusted, and then the nut is connected to the transport component 2 through a fastener. The present application does not limit the shape of the nut.

[0051] In one possible embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a locking mechanism 23 is provided on the transport component 2, and the locking mechanism 23 includes a locking block 231 and a threaded rod 232, wherein the locking block 231 has a threaded groove, and the threaded rod 232 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove. The threaded rod 232 can abut against the guide rod 11 to lock the position of the transport component 2. The end of the threaded rod 232 away from the guide rod 11 is connected to a handle portion 233, and the handle portion 233 facilitates hand force to rotate the threaded rod 232. Before adjusting the distance between the two transport components 2, the threaded rod 232 is rotated to move the threaded rod 232 away from the guide rod 11, and the guide rod 11 is unlocked. At this time, the two transport components 2 can move relative to each other, thereby adjusting the distance between the two transport components 2 to adapt to battery modules of different widths, so that the module boxing tooling of the present application has a wider range of application and stronger adaptability. After the distance between the two transport components 2 is adjusted, the threaded rod 232 is rotated so that the threaded rod 232 abuts against the guide rod 11 to lock the position of the transport component 2 .

[0052] like Figure 1As shown, a handle part 24 is connected to the transport assembly 2. When the locking mechanism 23 is unlocked, the two transport assemblies 2 can move relative to each other along the guide rod 11. The handle part 24 is convenient for a person to hold and apply force to move the transport assembly 2 to adjust the distance between the two transport assemblies 2.

[0053] In a possible implementation, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the transport assembly 2 includes a guide rail 25 and a first stopper 26. The guide rail 25 is movably connected to the base 1, and each rolling body 21 is disposed on the guide rail 25. A nut is connected to the guide rail. The first stopper 26 is rotatably disposed at one end of the guide rail 25, and an elastic member (not shown) is disposed between the first stopper 26 and the guide rail 25. The elastic member can be a spring or a torsion spring. Without external force, there is an included angle between the first stopper 26 and the guide rail 25. Under the action of external force, the first stopper 26 moves toward the base 1 side, and the first stopper 26 is lower than the plane where the upper edges of the rolling bodies 21 are located, and the elastic member is in a compressed state. When the external force is withdrawn, the elastic member undergoes a restorative change and pushes the first stopper 26 to protrude above the upper edges of the rolling bodies 21. When the battery module is placed into the module-in-box tooling of the present application, under the action of gravity, the battery module compresses the elastic member, causing the first stopper 26 to be lower than the upper edges of the rolling bodies 21, and the battery module can smoothly move by rolling on the balls. When the battery module disengages from the first stopper 26, the elastic member elastically recovers, and the first stopper 26 is higher than the upper edges of the rolling bodies 21. If the battery module moves along the side away from the battery cavity at this time, the first stopper 26 can effectively stop the battery module from moving outward, playing a role in limiting the outward movement of the battery module.

[0054] In a possible implementation, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the transport assembly 2 includes a second stopper 27. The second stopper 27 is rotatably disposed at the other end of the guide rail 25. The second stopper 27 has a stop state and a release state. In the stop state, the second stopper 27 rotates to be perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the rolling bodies 21 and protrudes above the plane where the upper edges of the rolling bodies 21 are located, and the battery module is limited by the second stopper 27 and cannot enter the battery cavity. At this time, the position of the battery module in the left-right direction can be adjusted by rotating the first operating member 3. In the release state, the second stopper 27 rotates to be parallel to the arrangement direction of the rolling bodies 21 and does not protrude above the upper edges of the rolling bodies 21. After adjusting the position of the battery module in the left-right direction, it can enter the release state, and pushing the battery module will smoothly enter the battery cavity.

[0055] As Figure 5 and Figure 7 shown, a support block 251 is provided on the guide rail 25, and a magnet 2511 is provided on the support block 251. In the release state, the second stopper 27 abuts against the support block 251, and the magnet 2511 and the second stopper 27 attract each other magnetically. In the stop state, the second stopper 27 is separated from the support block 251. The material of the support block 251 can be iron, which facilitates the magnetic attraction between the magnet 2511 and the second stopper 27 in the release state, so that the second stopper 27 abuts against the support block 251.

[0056] In a possible implementation, as Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the transport assembly 2 includes a second operating member 28, the second operating member 28 is rotatably connected to the guide rail 25, and the second operating member 28 is in driving connection with the second stopper 27 to drive the second stopper 27 to rotate. When the battery module needs to be pushed into the box body, the second stopper 27 needs to be opened, and the battery module can be pushed manually from the other side. At this time, a part of the bottom of the battery module is supported on the bottom of the battery cavity, and a part is supported on each of the rollers. In this way, the contact between the bottom of the battery module and the bottom wall of the battery cavity is reduced, and the direct contact friction is changed into rolling friction, reducing the friction force, so that the battery module can be more easily pushed into the box body.

[0057] As Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, two supports 252 are provided on the guide rail 25. The second operating member 28 has a rotating shaft 281, and the rotating shaft 281 is respectively rotatably connected to the two supports 252. The second stopper 27 is located between the two supports 252, and the second stopper 27 is connected to the rotating shaft 281. The rotation of the rotating shaft 281 can drive the second stopper 27 to rotate. One end of the rotating shaft 281 is connected with a second turntable 282, and a second crank 283 is provided at the end of the second turntable 282 away from the rotating shaft 281. Without external force, the second stopper 27 is in the release state. Under the action of external force, the second crank 283 is rotated to drive the rotating shaft 281 to drive the second stopper 27 to rotate away from the support block 251, and the second stopper 27 is in the stop state.

[0058] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not impose any formal limitations on the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with the preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art of this patent, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model, can make some changes or modifications using the technical content prompted above to obtain equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes. However, as long as it does not depart from the content of the technical solution of the present utility model, any simple modification, equivalent change, and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
