[0043] The following describes some embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features therein may be combined with each other.

[0044] First reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , describing a structural schematic diagram of a material rack for a new energy vehicle battery according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the material rack of the present invention is used in the turnover, storage and other processes of new energy vehicle batteries. A material rack for new energy vehicle batteries, the material rack includes a base frame 10, a buffer assembly 30 and a plurality of limiters. The upper surface of the base frame is used to place the new energy vehicle battery. The buffer assembly is connected to the upper surface of the base frame, and the buffer assembly is used to contact the new energy vehicle battery. A plurality of the limiters are distributed and connected to the upper surface of the base frame, and a plurality of the limiters are used to stop the outer side wall of the new energy vehicle battery, and the plurality of limiters cooperate to limit the new energy vehicle battery from sliding on the upper surface of the base frame.

[0046] The buffer assembly of this utility model is connected to the upper surface of the chassis and is used to contact the new energy vehicle battery. This design absorbs vibrations during battery placement and transportation, protecting the battery from mechanical damage. Multiple stoppers are distributed and connected to the upper surface of the chassis to stop the outer walls of the new energy vehicle battery. The stoppers cooperate to prevent the battery from sliding on the upper surface of the chassis, increasing the safety of the material rack for the battery.

[0047] The limiter of this utility model effectively restricts the sliding of the battery on the upper surface of the chassis by stopping the outer wall of the new energy vehicle battery, ensuring the stability of the battery during transportation. In addition, the coordinated use of multiple limiters simplifies the placement and fixing process of the battery, making the operation more convenient and quick.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the material rack includes a plurality of positioning components 40, which are distributed and connected to the upper surface of the base frame. The positioning components have a locked state and an unlocked state that can be switched between each other.

[0049] Among them, in the locked state, the positioning component contacts and stops the upper surface of the new energy vehicle battery, and multiple positioning components cooperate to limit the vertical movement of the new energy vehicle battery; in the unlocked state, the positioning component is detached from the upper surface of the new energy vehicle battery.

[0050] Specifically, the positioning assembly can be implemented using a clamp such as a manual toggle clamp. In a specific implementation, the material rack includes four positioning assemblies, which are arranged in pairs relative to each other, and two positioning assemblies are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the upper surface of the base frame. Manual toggle clamps are a tool for quickly fixing workpieces and are widely used in various manufacturing, logistics and other processes. According to different working principles and application scenarios, manual toggle clamps are classified into various types, including push-pull type, vertical type, horizontal type, fixed type, adjustable type, type with locking device and pressure plate type.

[0051] The positioning assembly of this utility model features switchable locked and unlocked states, making battery loading and unloading more flexible. In the locked state, the positioning assembly contacts and stops the upper surface of the new energy vehicle battery. Multiple positioning assemblies work together to restrict vertical movement of the new energy vehicle battery, enhancing its secure hold. This positioning minimizes battery movement on the rack, reducing potential safety risks associated with battery displacement.

[0052] Specifically, the present invention provides a detailed description of each part of the material rack:

[0053] (1) Regarding the chassis of this application:

[0054] The base frame of this utility model serves as the core support for the entire material rack. Its structural design focuses on providing sufficient load-bearing capacity and structural stability. The base frame utilizes a sturdy frame structure to ensure rigidity and durability during dynamic turnover and storage. The base frame's structural design is designed to fulfill multiple key functions: supporting the weight of the batteries, providing a stable placement platform, and allowing multiple material racks to be stacked one on top of the other. Specifically, the base frame's size and shape are tailored to the battery specifications to ensure compatibility and compatibility.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, in a specific implementation, the chassis of the present invention is a rectangular hollow frame structure formed by welding multiple square tubes. This frame design provides greater stability and load-bearing capacity, while the hollow structure helps reduce overall weight, achieving lightweighting. The use of square tubes increases the chassis' rigidity and impact resistance.

[0056] Specifically, the square tube is made of Q235 steel with a wall thickness of 2mm. Specifically, the chassis includes an upper frame and a lower frame, which are welded together. Specifically, the lower frame is used to form a forklift slot and also to elevate the new energy vehicle battery above the ground.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment, the buffer assembly 30 includes a plurality of support seats 31 and a plurality of rubber pads 32. The plurality of support seats are sequentially arranged along the length of the chassis, and a rubber pad is connected to the upper surface of each support seat, and the rubber pad is used to contact the new energy battery vehicle.

[0058] In this technology, a rubber layer is provided on the outer surface of each support base. The rubber layer serves as a buffer medium between the support base and the new energy vehicle battery. It is designed to provide additional protection when the battery pack is placed, preventing the bottom of the battery pack from directly contacting hard steel and causing scratches or damage. The use of the rubber layer not only increases the protection of the battery pack, but also helps to reduce vibration and noise, especially when the battery pack is being handled or transported. In addition, the rubber layer also provides a good anti-slip function, ensuring that the battery pack is stably placed on the chassis and is not easy to slide. Through this design, the chassis can provide a safer and more stable support platform for new energy vehicle batteries, and better protection for new energy batteries.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment, the upper surface of the base frame has multiple support columns for stacking multiple material racks. The lower surface of the base frame has multiple recessed portions adapted to accommodate the support columns. When any two material racks are stacked one on top of the other, the top ends of the support columns of the lower rack fit into the recessed portions of the upper rack.

[0060] In a specific implementation, the chassis has four support columns 11 and four recessed portions 12. The four support columns are respectively located at the four corners of the chassis. The four recessed portions of the chassis are correspondingly arranged below the four support columns.

[0061] The upper surface of the base frame is designed with multiple support columns, which allow multiple material racks to be stacked on top of each other, improving space utilization and transportation efficiency in material rack applications. The lower surface of the base frame is designed with multiple recessed portions that match the support columns. This design allows the top of the support columns of the lower material rack to be inserted into the recessed portions of the upper material rack, forming an interlocking stacking structure and enhancing the stability of the stacked material rack.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, the chassis has four support posts located at the four corners of the chassis. This arrangement provides balanced support points and reduces twisting or shifting of the chassis during stacking. Accordingly, recessed areas are designed at the four corners of the chassis or below the support posts to ensure precise alignment and stability during stacking.

[0063] In a preferred embodiment, the chassis further includes multiple reinforcement plates, each of which is bolted to the outer wall of each support column; wherein the multiple support columns are arranged around the periphery of the multiple limiters and the multiple positioning assemblies. Specifically, the reinforcement plates include a first plate body and a second plate body formed by bending, and the outer contours of the first plate body and the second plate body are both triangular.

[0064] The reinforcement plate is preferably made of steel, and the same Q235 steel can be used. In the optimized design of the structure, the reinforcement plate is connected to the outer wall of the support column by bolts, which enhances the connection strength between the support column and the chassis frame. The reinforcement plate can effectively disperse the load borne by the support column and improve the load-bearing capacity and stability of the entire chassis. In the shape design of the reinforcement plate, the reinforcement plate adopts a bending process to form a first plate body and a second plate body, and the outer contours of both are triangular structures. The triangular structure has extremely high stability due to its geometric characteristics. This design enables the reinforcement plate to provide better support when bearing loads.

[0065] (2) Regarding the limiter of this application:

[0066] In a specific implementation, Figure 2 As shown, the limiting member is divided into a first limiting member, a second limiting member and a third limiting member; the first limiting member 21, the second limiting member 22 and the third limiting member 23 are all bolted to the base frame;

[0067] The first limiting member has a right-angle structure, and the first limiting member stops two adjacent outer side walls of the new energy vehicle battery through the right-angle structure.

[0068] At least two of the second limiting members are respectively arranged on the front edge and the rear edge of the upper surface of the base frame, and the second limiting members have a stop block to stop the outer side wall of the new energy vehicle battery;

[0069] At least two of the third limiting members are respectively arranged on the left edge and the right edge of the upper surface of the base frame. The third limiting members are connected to plastic blocks, which stop the outer side wall of the new energy vehicle battery through the plastic blocks.

[0070] In the specific implementation, combined with Figure 2 As shown, the bottoms of the first, second, and third stoppers are each provided with connecting flanges, which are bolted to the base frame. Specifically, the first, second, and third stoppers are all made of steel or aluminum alloy. Specifically, the surfaces of the first, second, and third stoppers that contact the new energy vehicle battery are each provided with a rubber layer.

[0071] In this field, the overall shape of new energy vehicle batteries is roughly rectangular. Figure 1 As shown, the material rack of this application uses one first limiter, three second limiters, and four third limiters. One first limiter is used to be set at a corner of the new energy vehicle battery to limit the corner of the new energy vehicle battery. The three second limiters are used to form a limit stop for the two opposite outer walls of the new energy vehicle battery. The remaining four third limiters are set in the same position as the positioning assembly to form a limit stop for the two remaining outer walls of the new energy vehicle battery.

[0072] For other structures of the material rack for the new energy vehicle battery described in this embodiment, refer to the prior art.

[0073] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
