Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of battery core processing, and more specifically, to a battery core carrier. Background Art

[0002] During the sealing pin welding process, the battery cell needs to be removed through the transfer device and placed on the conveyor belt, and then moved to the next workstation through the conveyor belt for material removal and welding operations.

[0003] A battery cell carrier with publication number CN217894306U can place the battery cell between the supporting bracket and the clamping plate, and the driving device drives the clamping plate to move toward the clamping surface to stabilize the battery cell in the clamping space and prevent the battery cell from shaking. However, when the above scheme actually performs positional clamping on the battery cell, the clamping plate is used to push the battery cell to a position close to the clamping protrusion to clamp the battery cell and prevent the battery cell from shaking when the sealing pin is welded. However, when clamping battery cells of different sizes, the amount of displacement required by the clamping plate is different. The above scheme is not convenient for judging whether the battery cell is firmly clamped, which affects subsequent operations and has certain shortcomings. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are provided for the purpose of illustration and convenience of description and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Numerous modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments are selected and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific applications.

[0020] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the technical solution of the present invention provides a battery cell carrier, comprising a carrier base 1, a battery cell support seat 3 movably disposed on the carrier base 1, battery cell clamping mechanisms located on both sides of the battery cell support seat 3, and a prompting mechanism 6 disposed on the battery cell clamping mechanism. The battery cell clamping mechanism includes a fixed clamping assembly 5 on one side and a movable clamping assembly 4 opposite to the fixed clamping assembly 5.

[0021] The carrier base 1 is mounted on the conveyor belt of the external battery cell transport line. When the carrier base moves to the loading station, the battery cell body 2 is first placed inside the battery cell support seat 3. The mobile clamping assembly 4 moves the battery cell body 2 and the battery cell support seat 3 toward the fixed clamping assembly 5, thereby clamping the battery cell body 2. At the same time, the setting of the prompt mechanism 6 can determine the clamping tightness of the fixed clamping assembly 5 and the mobile clamping assembly 4 to ensure stable clamping, avoid shaking, and improve the efficiency of subsequent processing of the battery cell body 2.

[0022] A slot 31 is provided in the middle of the battery cell support seat 3, and a rubber ring 32 and a rubber pad 33 are provided in the slot 31. By arranging the rubber ring 32 and the rubber pad 33 in the slot 31, the friction force when the battery cell body 2 is placed inside it can be increased, making the battery cell body 2 more stable.

[0023] The movable clamping assembly 4 includes a mounting base 41, a driver mounted on the mounting base 41, and a movable clamp connected to the driver. The prompting mechanism 6 is mounted on the movable clamp. The mounting base 41 is fixed to the carrier base 1. The driver drives the movable clamp to move closer to the fixed clamping assembly 5 to clamp the battery cell body 2.

[0024] The movable clamp includes a clamp seat 43, a guide rod 44 arranged through the clamp seat 43, an arc-shaped clamp block fixed to one end of the guide rod 44, and a pressing block 47 fixed to the other end of the guide rod 44. The guide rod 44 is slidably connected to the clamp seat 43, and a spring 48 is sleeved on the guide rod 44, and the spring 48 is located between the arc-shaped clamp block and the clamp seat 43.

[0025] The driving member includes an electric push rod 42, which acts directly on the clamping seat 43. When the arc-shaped clamping block acts on the battery cell body 2 and there is a certain force between the two, the guide rod 44 moves toward the prompt mechanism 6. The arc-shaped clamping block continues to move until the pressure on the guide rod 44 contacts the prompt mechanism 6 and triggers the prompt mechanism 6, indicating that the battery cell is clamped in place and subsequent processing steps can be performed.

[0026] The arc-shaped clamping block includes an arc-shaped seat 45 and an arc-shaped rubber block 46 disposed on the arc-shaped seat 45. The arc-shaped rubber block 46 is in direct contact with the battery cell body 2 to avoid damage to the battery cell body 2.

[0027] The prompt mechanism 6 includes a connecting rod 61, a mounting block 62 mounted on the connecting rod 61, a normally closed switch 63 mounted on the mounting block 62, and an indicator light 64. The connecting rod 61 is fixed to the clamping base 43, and the pressing block 47 is positioned opposite the normally closed switch 63. When the pressing block 47 contacts the normally closed switch 63, the normally closed switch 63 is triggered and the indicator light 64 illuminates, indicating that the battery cell body 2 has been clamped. The spring 48 resets the guide rod 44 to ensure smooth clamping next time.

[0028] The fixing clamping assembly 5 includes a support plate 51 and an arc-shaped long pad 52 provided on the support plate 51. The support plate 51 is fixedly provided on the carrier base 1, and the arc-shaped long pad 52 is also made of rubber material and is in direct contact with the battery body 2 to avoid damage to the battery body 2.

[0029] Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field and related fields without making any creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described and explained in this utility model shall be implemented in accordance with conventional means in the field unless otherwise specified or limited.
