Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of battery processing and relates to an adjustable battery tray. Background Art
[0002] Square lithium batteries are the main type of power batteries for new energy vehicles. During the manufacturing and testing process, they need to be transferred between different equipment and workstations via pallets. The pallets are made of plastic material through injection molding and have multiple limit plates on them. The limit plates clamp the square lithium batteries. However, the limit plates in existing pallets are fixed, and the distance between the two limit plates is fixed, which means that they can only clamp square lithium batteries with a fixed thickness. If the thickness and length of the square lithium battery are small, it cannot be clamped, and a new pallet of another size needs to be re-injected, which increases production costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to address the above-mentioned problems in the existing technology and to propose an adjustable battery tray, which can adjust the positions of the end stop seat and the card seat to adapt to batteries of different sizes and firmly clamp the batteries.
[0004] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: an adjustable battery tray, comprising a tray body, an end stop seat and several card embedding seats, characterized in that the end stop seat is fixed to the tray body by positioning bolts, the end stop seat has a plurality of concave battery slots for accommodating the ends of the batteries, the card embedding seat is fixed to the tray body by adjusting bolts, the card embedding seat has a plurality of clamps arranged in a line and abutting the side walls of the batteries, the end stop seat has a plurality of bolt mounting holes 1, the card embedding seat has a plurality of bolt mounting holes 2, the tray body has a strip mounting groove arranged along the longitudinal direction, the bottom of the strip mounting groove has a strip sliding hole for the positioning bolt to pass through, the positioning bolt is threadedly connected with a square rubber-coated nut 1, the rubber-coated nut 1 is tightly fitted with the bottom of the strip mounting groove, the tray body has a rectangular mounting groove arranged along the transverse direction, the bottom of the rectangular mounting groove has an elliptical adjustment hole for the adjusting bolt to pass through, the end of the adjusting bolt is threadedly connected with a square rubber-coated nut 2, the rubber-coated nut 2 is tightly fitted with the bottom of the rectangular mounting groove.
[0005] Furthermore, the upper surface of the tray body has raised grid-shaped reinforcement ribs.
[0006] Furthermore, a plurality of elliptical heat dissipation holes are provided on the tray body.
[0007] Furthermore, the length of the strip-shaped sliding hole is smaller than the length of the strip-shaped mounting groove.
[0008] Furthermore, the length of the elliptical adjustment hole is shorter than the length of the rectangular installation slot.
[0009] Furthermore, the positions and quantities of the first bolt mounting holes correspond one-to-one to the strip mounting holes, and the positions and quantities of the second bolt mounting holes correspond one-to-one to the rectangular mounting holes.
[0010] A plurality of snap-in seats are provided between the end stops at both ends. The end stops can be moved in the longitudinal direction while the positioning bolts are moved along the strip slide holes. After reaching the predetermined position, the positioning bolts can be tightened until the rubber-coated nut 1 is in close contact with the bottom of the strip mounting groove, thereby fixing the end stop on the tray body. The snap-in seat can be moved slightly in the transverse direction. After reaching the designated position, the rubber-coated nut 2 is in close contact with the bottom of the rectangular mounting groove by tightening the adjusting bolts, thereby fixing the snap-in seat on the tray body. Multiple snap-in seats can be arranged in a staggered manner, with the splint of the first snap-in seat in close contact with the left side of the battery, the splint of the second snap-in seat in close contact with the right side of the battery, the splint of the third snap-in seat in close contact with the left side of the battery, and so on. Even if the distance between the two splints of the same snap-in seat is greater than the thickness of the battery, the battery can still be firmly clamped by the cooperation of multiple snap-in seats.
[0011] Compared with the existing technology, this adjustable battery tray has the following advantages:
[0012] 1. The end blocks are used to rest against the two end surfaces of the battery. The distance between the end blocks at both ends of the battery can be adjusted to accommodate batteries of different lengths, so that the end blocks can clamp the battery from both ends.
[0013] 2. The middle part of the battery is clamped with multiple card seats, and the clamping plates of the card seats are used to clamp the sides of the battery. The positions of the multiple card seats can be adjusted so that the clamping plates are staggered to clamp the battery. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
