Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to battery technology, and in particular to a battery cell electrode assembly fixing bracket. Background Technology

[0002] For large-capacity rectangular lithium-ion power battery cell electrode assemblies manufactured using a lamination process, the number of electrodes is relatively large, with one positive electrode, one negative electrode, and two separator layers considered as one layer. Due to the large number of layers in the electrode assembly, the movement and assembly of the electrode assemblies during a series of battery manufacturing assembly operations—including removing the electrode assemblies from the lamination machine, inserting them into the battery casing, and riveting, welding, or bolting the electrode tabs to the terminals—can easily lead to misalignment between the electrode layers. Even when laminating on a fully automated lamination machine, the issue of aligning each group of electrode layers within the allowable error range remains. Therefore, a mounting bracket capable of accommodating different numbers of battery electrode assemblies is needed. Utility Model Content

[0027] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the battery cell electrode assembly fixing frame of this utility model includes a base 1 and a holding component 2. The holding component 2 is disposed on the base 1 and is used to place the battery cell electrode. The size of the accommodating area 3 in the middle of the holding component 2 can be changed according to the battery capacity to facilitate clamping and positioning of multiple battery cell electrode pieces, which facilitates subsequent assembly operations.

[0028] The base 1 is provided with a first sliding groove 4 and a second sliding groove 5. The first sliding groove 4 is symmetrically arranged, and the second sliding groove 5 is located in the middle of the symmetrical first sliding groove 4. The lower end of the base 1 is provided with a bearing seat 6, and the bearing seat 6 is provided with an adjusting component 7.

[0029] A retaining assembly 2 is mounted on the base 1. The retaining assembly 2 includes a symmetrically arranged fixing plate 8, mounting plate 10, and elastic element 9. A receiving area 3 is formed in the middle of the retaining assembly 2, and a retaining area 11 is formed between the elastic elements 9. The battery cell electrode is disposed in the retaining area 11. One end of the elastic element 9 is disposed between the fixing plate 8 and the mounting plate 10, and the other end extends into the receiving area 3. The receiving area 3 is provided with symmetrically arranged baffles 12. The fixing plate 8 and the mounting plate 10 are connected by bolts 13.

[0030] The lower end of the fixed plate 8 is provided with a sliding block 14 and a positioning block 15. The positioning block 15 is disposed in the first sliding groove 4, and the sliding block 14 is disposed in the second sliding groove 5. The sliding block 14 has a threaded hole 16 in the middle. The adjusting member 7 has a first threaded portion 17 and a second threaded portion 18 that mate with the threaded hole 16. The thread directions of the first threaded portion 17 and the second threaded portion 18 are opposite. The threaded hole 16 on one fixed plate 8 has the opposite thread direction to the threaded hole 16 on the other fixed plate 8, and mates with the first threaded portion 17 and the second threaded portion 18 respectively.

[0031] The elastic element 9 consists of an installation section 20, an arc-shaped section 21, and a positioning section 22. A compression area 23 is formed between the arc-shaped section 21 and the mounting plate 10. An installation opening 24 is provided on the fixing plate 8 for installing the installation section 20. Furthermore, a notch 25 for accommodating the elastic element 9 is provided on the mounting plate 10, and the arc-shaped section 21 is disposed within the notch 25. A fixing part 26 is provided on the fixing plate 8, and the fixing part 26 is placed on the arc-shaped section 21, thereby confining the arc-shaped section 21 within the notch 25.
