Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of battery pack production, in particular to a battery pack assembly workbench. Background Art
[0002] Chemical energy storage batteries continue to advance, but during the R&D phase, battery pack assembly relies heavily on manual labor to facilitate safety testing after assembly. Since the battery packs require forklift transportation after assembly, existing workbenches are insufficient, requiring installers to assemble the battery packs on the ground. This is both time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, a mobile battery pack assembly workbench is needed to improve work efficiency by saving labor and facilitating component assembly and safety testing.
[0003] In the existing battery pack assembly field, workbenches are typically simple in design and functionality, lacking flexibility and scalability. Existing assembly workbenches are often designed only for specific battery pack models. When the production line needs to switch to a different battery pack model, adjusting and modifying the workbench is often time-consuming and labor-intensive, and cannot meet the needs of rapid production switching. Furthermore, existing workbenches are difficult to move after assembly is completed during the battery pack R&D phase. Therefore, only the housing portion can be installed on the workbench, not the battery cell modules. Therefore, the modules must be placed on a forklift plate for assembly and then transported by forklift after completion, adding unnecessary manpower. While large-scale assembly requires the cooperation of automated production lines, the cost of automated production lines is high during the R&D phase. Even if only the production line involving the module-to-battery pack portion is involved, it is still a significant investment for the company. Existing workbenches also have certain limitations in terms of assembly accuracy, ease of operation, and safety, and cannot fully meet the high efficiency, high precision, and high safety requirements of modern battery pack production.

[0037] In this embodiment, the support frame 5 is the supporting part of the entire workbench. It is necessary to ensure that its strength can support the weight of the battery pack after assembly. Therefore, when designing the support frame 5, high-strength materials such as structural steel or aluminum alloy must be used to ensure that it will not deform or break during long-term use. In addition, the structural design of the support frame 5 also needs to consider ease of installation and disassembly for easy maintenance and replacement. Bolts, nuts and other fasteners should be used to fix the various connection parts of the support frame 5 to improve the overall stability and reliability. In order to enhance the load-bearing capacity of the support frame 5, reinforcing ribs can be added to key parts or a double-layer structure design can be used. After completing the design and manufacture of the support frame 5, a rigorous load test should also be carried out to ensure that it can meet the weight requirements of the battery pack after assembly in actual use.
[0038] Storage drawer 4 is a key element in improving the quality of the work environment by organizing frequently used tools and accessories for easy access. It provides a systematic classification of tools and parts. It not only makes use of limited space resources, but also ensures that the required items can be quickly locked and retrieved when needed, thus avoiding the time wasted due to clutter.
[0039] The battery pack tray 3 is designed for transporting the battery pack, preventing damage from forklift handles during handling. A reinforced structure surrounds the first forklift slot 31 to ensure safe handling and battery pack stability, improving efficiency and safety. The battery pack design takes handling requirements into consideration, ensuring performance and application flexibility.
[0040] The beneficial effects of a battery packaging assembly workbench are as follows:
[0041] The use of this battery pack assembly workbench significantly improves assembly efficiency and safety. Because the workbench is more easily movable, and the design of the support frame 5 and casters 8 ensures stability during the assembly process, workers can focus more on the operation when assembling the battery pack, reducing interruptions caused by moving or adjusting the workbench position, thereby improving overall work efficiency.
[0042] The tool storage drawer 4 provides a more systematic and orderly management of tools and accessories, which not only reduces the time required to find tools and accessories, but also reduces the potential safety hazards caused by scattered tools, thereby improving the safety of the assembly process.
[0043] The casters 8 are universal wheels, so that the workbench can be easily moved to the designated position after assembly is completed without the need for additional manpower to carry it. This not only reduces labor intensity, but also reduces the risk of equipment damage caused by improper handling.
[0044] The first forklift slot 31 and the second forklift slot are used to reserve forklift rod assembly, so that the assembled battery pack can be quickly and safely handled and transported, greatly shortening the handling preparation time and improving logistics efficiency. The battery pack assembly workbench can be realized through simple modification, which not only reduces the cost of purchasing automated equipment in the R&D stage, but also reduces the equipment footprint and reduces the cost of the entire R&D stage.
[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
