If there is a description of first or second, it is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features, and cannot be understood to indicate relative importance or the number of the indicated technical features or the order of the indicated technical features.

[0025] In the description of the present invention, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense. Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention in combination with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0026] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments.

[0027] It is understandable that during the production of soft-pack cylindrical batteries, the tabs at both ends protrude axially from the battery body. This allows ordinary charging clips to be used to clamp the tabs for charging during the production process. After the soft-pack cylindrical battery is produced, the tabs at both ends are folded along the shape of the battery body and adhered to the outer surface of the battery body. That is, the tabs do not protrude from the battery body, and ordinary charging clips cannot be used to clamp the tabs for charging. The battery stacking and charging tooling of the present invention can clamp the completed soft-pack cylindrical batteries, facilitating charging of the soft-pack cylindrical batteries before shipment.

[0029] The battery stacking charging tooling of the embodiment of the present invention includes a supporting assembly 200, which includes a support plate 210. A plurality of charging units are provided on the upper side of the support plate 210. The plurality of charging units are arranged in sequence along the front-to-back direction. The charging units include a positive contact, a negative contact 240, a placement slot 211 and two connecting seats. The two connecting seats are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the placement slot 211. The positive contact and the negative contact 240 are respectively arranged on the side of the two connecting seats facing the placement slot 211; at least one of the connecting seats is a sliding seat 230, which is arranged on the support plate 210 in a transverse sliding manner, and an elastic member 250 is connected between the sliding seat 230 and the support plate 210; the supporting assembly 200 also includes a positive contact and a negative contact, all positive contacts are electrically connected to the positive contact, and all negative contacts 240 are electrically connected to the negative contact.

[0030] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the support plate 210 is horizontally arranged, and the support plate 210 is in the shape of a strip plate extending forward and backward. The placement groove 211 is fixedly arranged on the support plate 210, and the placement groove 211 is arranged horizontally. The two connecting seats are respectively called the left seat and the right seat. The left seat is arranged on the left side of the placement groove 211, and the right seat is arranged on the right side of the placement groove 211. The positive contact is arranged on the right end surface of the left seat, and the negative contact 240 is arranged on the right end surface of the right seat; in this embodiment, the left seat and the right seat are both sliding seats 230. Of course, in some other embodiments of the present utility model, the left seat can also be set as a sliding seat 230, and the right seat can be fixedly arranged on the support plate 210, and the right seat can also be set as a sliding seat 230, and the left seat can be fixedly arranged on the support plate 210.

[0031] Taking the right seat as the sliding seat 230 as an example, the right seat is in the shape of a rectangular frame, and the right seat has a first wall, a second wall, a third wall 231, and a fourth wall. The first wall, the second wall, the third wall 231, and the fourth wall are respectively located on the left side, the rear side, the right side, and the front side of the right seat, and the first wall, the second wall, the third wall 231, and the fourth wall are connected end to end to form a frame shape; a sliding connection block 220 is connected between the right seat and the supporting plate 210, and the sliding connection block 220 is fixedly arranged on the supporting plate 210. The sliding connection block 220 is provided with a first through hole arranged horizontally, and the right seat is arranged in the first through hole for horizontal sliding. A limit block is provided in the first through hole, and the limit block is arranged between the second wall and the fourth wall. The limit block is fixedly connected to the sliding connection block 220, and the elastic member 250 is connected between the first wall and the limit block. The elastic member 250 makes the right seat have a tendency to move to the left; the negative contact 240 is arranged on the left side of the first wall. Of course, in some other embodiments of the present invention, the right seat can also be slidably connected to the support plate 210 through a guide rail slider mechanism, a linear bearing mechanism or other suitable methods.

[0032] During use, the staff can move the sliding seat 230 away from the placement slot 211, then place the battery to be charged into the placement slot 211, and then release the sliding seat 230. Under the action of the elastic member 250, the sliding seat 230 moves towards the placement slot 211, and the positive contact and the negative contact 240 respectively abut the two ends of the battery to achieve the purpose of clamping the battery; the supporting assembly 200 can clamp multiple batteries, and power is supplied to the positive contact and the negative contact to charge multiple batteries at the same time. The structure is compact, and multiple batteries can be stacked in a certain area, saving space, improving charging efficiency, and facilitating charging of the batteries before shipment.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present invention, a pressing block is provided on the side of the sliding seat 230 away from the placement slot 211. The pressing block is connected to the sliding seat 230 via a linkage mechanism, so that when the pressing block moves downward, the sliding seat 230 moves away from the placement slot 211. In this way, the operator can move the sliding seat 230 away from the placement slot 211 by pressing the pressing block downward, which facilitates operation.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present invention, the plurality of pressing blocks provided on the same side of the plurality of charging units are arranged sequentially from front to back, so that it is convenient for the operator to press the plurality of pressing blocks at the same time, facilitating operation.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, both connecting seats are sliding seats 230. When the battery is placed in the placement slot 211, the two connecting seats can be away from the placement slot 211, leaving more space for placing the battery, making it easier to place the battery.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, the elastic member 250 is a spring. This has a simple structure and is easy to set up. The spring is arranged horizontally, and its two ends respectively abut against the first wall and the limit block.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 The linkage mechanism includes a slide bar 221, a pressing block provided at the top of the slide bar 221, the slide bar 221 being slidably connected to the support plate 210 in an upward and downward direction, a first sliding surface provided at the bottom end of the slide bar 221, and a second sliding surface provided at the sliding seat 230, the first sliding surface abutting against the second sliding surface from top to bottom, and the first sliding surface being inclined from top to bottom toward the placement groove 211. Taking the right seat as the sliding seat 230 as an example, the second sliding surface is provided on the left side of the third wall 231, the second sliding surface being inclined to the left from top to bottom, and the first sliding surface being inclined to the left from top to bottom, the top wall of the first through hole of the sliding connection block 220 being provided with a second through hole, the second through hole being provided on the right side of the limit block, the slide bar 221 being vertically slidably inserted into the second through hole, the first sliding surface and the second sliding surface being in relative sliding abutment, and the pressing block and the slide bar 221 can be an integral component. When the pressing block is pressed downward, the slide bar 221 moves downward, thereby causing the sliding seat 230 to move rightward, thereby moving the sliding seat 230 away from the placement groove 211; after releasing the pressing block, the sliding seat 230 moves leftward under the action of the elastic member 250, thereby causing the slide bar 221 to move upward and reset.

[0038] Among them, a first limiting protrusion and a second limiting protrusion can be set on the outer peripheral wall of the sliding rod 221, and the first limiting protrusion is set below the second through hole. The height position of the first limiting protrusion is located on the upper side of the first sliding surface, so that when the sliding rod 221 moves upward to the upper limit position, the first limiting protrusion abuts against the inner wall of the sliding connection from bottom to top, and the first sliding surface and the second sliding surface can still contact; the second limiting protrusion is set above the second through hole, and when the sliding rod 221 moves downward to the lower limit position, the second limiting protrusion abuts against the outer wall of the sliding connection from top right to bottom, and the first sliding surface and the second sliding surface can still contact.
