Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of clamps, and in particular to a conveying clamp and a conveying device. Background Art

[0002] During the production process, battery cells are secured and transported using a jig. Existing jigs typically consist of opposing fixed and movable plates. One end of the movable plate extends outward to form an extension block. To open the jig, an external device presses the extension block, causing it to rotate and, in turn, the movable plate, thereby opening the jig. Because the extension block rotates to open the clamp, the force acting on it forms an angle with the surface of the fixed plate. This creates a force on the plate toward the battery cell, which can easily cause the plate to tilt and puncture the cell. Utility Model Content

[0016] Further, the driving member is located between the fixed plate and the movable plate.

[0017] In the above technical solution, by arranging the driving member between the fixed plate and the movable plate, when opening the clamp through the driving member, the force on the fixture is more uniform, further improving the stability of the fixture.

[0018] Further, a flexible buffer member is provided on the clamping surface.

Detailed Embodiment

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Usually, the components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0031] Accordingly, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , in a preferred embodiment, a conveying fixture of the present utility model includes a seat body 1, a fixing plate 2, a movable plate 3, and a driving member 4. The fixing plate 2 and the movable plate 3 are oppositely arranged on the seat body 1. The surface of the fixing plate 2 facing the movable plate 3 forms a clamping surface 21. The movable plate 3 is rotatably connected to the seat body 1. The driving member 4 is disposed through the seat body 1 and is linked to the movable plate 3. The driving member 4 can move along a first direction Y and drive the movable plate 3 to rotate. The first direction Y is parallel to the clamping surface 21.

[0033] Exemplarily, the fixing plate 2 and the movable plate 3 are oppositely arranged at both ends in the width direction of the seat body 1. Among them, the fixing plate 2 is fixedly connected to the seat body 1. The fixing plate 2 and the seat body 1 of this embodiment are integrally formed. In other possible embodiments, the fixing plate 2 can also be fixedly connected to the seat body 1 by bolts. The movable plate 3 can rotate relative to the seat body 1, so as to approach or depart from the fixing plate 2, realizing clamping or unclamping of the battery cell.

[0034] The driving member 4 is disposed through the seat body 1. In this embodiment, the seat body 1 is provided with a through hole penetrating the seat body 1. The through hole extends along the first direction Y. The driving member 4 is disposed in the through hole and can move along the first direction Y. It can be understood that, from Figure 3 the perspective of observation, the end position of the driving member 4 moving upward is that the upper end of the driving member 4 is flush with the upper end surface of the seat body 1, so as to prevent the driving member 4 from contacting the battery cell clamped between the movable plate 3 and the fixing plate 2. In other possible embodiments, a limiting structure can be provided at the upper end of the through hole, or the upper end of the through hole can be closed to limit the position of the driving member 4.

[0035] Through the above technical solution, by arranging the driving member 4 in the fixture, the driving member 4 can drive the movable plate 3 to rotate by means of linear movement, and the moving direction of the driving member 4 is parallel to the clamping surface 21 of the fixing plate 2, so that during the unclamping process, the force application direction of the driving member 4 is always consistent with the extension direction of the clamping surface 21. The overall fixture is uniformly stressed, which can prevent the fixing plate 2 from being inclined and pressing the battery cell due to force during the unclamping process, effectively protecting the product and improving the stability of the fixture.

[0036] The base 1 is provided with a rotating shaft 5, through which the movable plate 3 is rotatably connected to the base 1. Specifically, two opposing bosses are provided on the side of the base 1 near the movable plate 3. The rotating shaft 5 passes through the movable plate 3, with its ends respectively inserted into the two bosses, thereby rotatably connecting the movable plate 3 to the base 1. The movable plate 3 can rotate relative to the base 1 via the rotating shaft 5. This simple structure ensures the stability of the rotation of the movable plate 3. In a possible embodiment, the rotating shaft 5 can also be two cylinders respectively provided on the two bosses, with the two cylinders arranged oppositely and coaxially. The movable plate 3 has axial holes at both ends, and the two cylinders extend into the corresponding axial holes, thereby rotatably connecting the movable plate 3 to the base 1.

[0037] The driving member 4 is provided with a slot 41. The end of the movable plate 3 near the rotating shaft 5 extends outward to form an extension arm 31, and the extension arm 31 extends into the slot 41. For example, the outer peripheral surface of the end of the driving member 4 near the base 1 is recessed inward to form the slot 41. The end of the movable plate 3 near the rotating shaft 5 extends toward the driving member 4 to form the extension arm 31. The end of the extension arm 31 extends into the slot 41. When the driving member 4 moves linearly, the groove wall of the slot 41 squeezes the extension arm 31, forcing the extension arm 31 to rotate the movable plate 3, thereby converting the linear motion of the driving member 4 into rotation of the movable plate 3.

[0038] In this embodiment, the extension arm 31 includes an arcuate portion 32, and the groove wall of the groove body 41 matches the arcuate portion 32. When the driving member 4 moves along the first direction Y, the arcuate portion 32 can rotate within the groove body 41. By providing the arcuate portion 32 and configuring the groove wall of the groove body 41 to match the arcuate portion 32, the arcuate portion 32 can rotate within a certain angle range within the groove body 41 when the driving member 4 moves, thereby making the rotation of the movable plate 3 smoother and further improving the stability of the clamp.

[0039] The driver 4 includes a rod 42, the outer periphery of which is sheathed with an elastic member 6 for restoring the driver 4. Specifically, the rod 42 is located at the end of the driver 4 facing away from the base 1. The elastic member 6, which can be a spring, is sheathed around the rod 42 and can exert a continuous restoring force on the driver 4. When the driver 4 is not subjected to external force, the driver 4 has the tendency to keep the movable plate 3 rotating toward the fixed plate 2, so that the movable plate 3 clamps the battery cell.

[0040] The movable plate 3 includes a connecting portion 33 and a clamping plate 34, which is rotatably connected to the connecting portion 33. Specifically, the connecting portion 33 is plate-shaped, with one end of the connecting portion 33 connected to the rotating shaft 5 and the other end rotatably connected to the clamping plate 34. The clamping plate 34 is located on the side of the connecting portion facing the fixed plate 2. The clamping plate 34 can rotate within a certain angle range relative to the connecting portion, thereby automatically adapting to the surface of the battery cell when clamping the battery cell, so that the force applied to the battery cell during clamping is uniform.

[0041] The driving member 4 is located between the fixed plate 2 and the movable plate 3. In this embodiment, the driving member 4 is disposed in the middle of the base body 1. By disposing the driving member 4 between the fixed plate 2 and the movable plate 3, when the clamp is opened by the driving member 4, the force on the clamp is more uniform, further improving the stability of the clamp.

[0042] The clamping surface 21 is provided with a flexible buffer member 7. Specifically, the buffer member 7 can be made of rubber, silica gel or other flexible materials. The flexible buffer member 7 can reduce the pressure of the fixed plate 2 on the surface of the battery cell, effectively protecting the battery cell.

[0043] In this embodiment, the conveying clamp further includes a cross bar 8. The base body 1 is connected to the cross bar 8. The cross bar 8 is provided with a through hole, and one end of the driving member 4 passes through the through hole. The base body 1 of the clamp can be connected to the cross bar 8 by bolts. Multiple clamps can be arranged on the cross bar 8 at the same time, so that multiple battery cells can be clamped and conveyed simultaneously. The driving member 4 passes through the through hole of the cross bar 8. When the clamp needs to be opened, the driving member 4 can be pushed from below the cross bar 8 by an external driving device, and the opening of the clamp can be realized. Specifically, an external device can be used to simultaneously push the driving members 4 of multiple clamps located on the same cross bar 8, so as to simultaneously open multiple clamps and improve the opening efficiency.

[0044] The present utility model further provides a conveying device, which includes the above-mentioned conveying clamp.
