Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery production line technology, and in particular to a battery clamping structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, traditional battery clamping mechanisms require manual operation, which is cumbersome and makes it difficult to achieve fully automated production.

[0003] To address this, existing technology provides a clamping fixture with a worktable equipped with an electric cylinder and a triangular bearing. One end of the triangular bearing is connected to the output end of the electric cylinder, and the other two ends are connected to two power rods. The electric cylinder drives the triangular bearing to rotate, which in turn drives the two power rods to rotate. These two power rods then drive two push plates to move horizontally, causing them to abut against the two side walls of the battery pack. However, a problem exists: even though both push plates clamp the battery pack horizontally, the battery pack may still wobble vertically. Utility Model Content

[0031] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0034] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0035] Currently, traditional battery clamping mechanisms require manual operation, which is cumbersome and difficult to automate. To address this, existing technology provides a clamping fixture with a worktable equipped with an electric cylinder and a triangular bearing. One end of the bearing is connected to the output of the electric cylinder, and the other two ends are connected to two power rods. The electric cylinder drives the bearing to rotate, which in turn drives the two power rods to rotate. These rods then move two push plates horizontally, causing them to abut against the two side walls of the battery pack. However, a problem exists: even though both push plates clamp the battery pack horizontally, the pack may still wobble vertically.

[0036] To address this issue, this embodiment provides a battery clamping structure to solve the problem that, even when the battery pack is clamped horizontally by two push plates in the prior art, the battery pack may still wobble in the vertical direction. This structure can be used in the field of battery production line technology.

[0037] Reference Figures 1-2The battery clamping structure includes a support plate 1, a clamping member 2, a driving member 3, and a transmission member 4. The support plate 1 supports the lower surface of the battery 100 and can be placed on the ground, specifically supported by several support legs 14. The clamping member 2 can rotate relative to the support plate 1 and abut against the upper surface of the battery 100, thereby abutting the upper and lower surfaces of the battery 100 through the clamping member 2 and the support plate 1 respectively, preventing the battery 100 from shaking in the vertical direction. The driving member 3 is disposed on the support plate 1; the transmission member 4 is connected to the clamping member 2 through a transmission. The driving member 3 can drive the transmission member 4 to move, thereby causing the clamping member 2 to rotate relative to the support plate 1, so that the clamping member 2 abuts against the upper surface of the battery 100 without manual operation.

[0038] Another problem with existing technology is that the electric cylinder requires a triangular bearing to drive two power rods, resulting in a large overall footprint and complex structure for the clamping fixture. For further details, please refer to... Figures 1-2 The driving component 3 includes a driving component body 31 disposed on the lower surface of the support plate 1 and a telescopic end 32 capable of reciprocating relative to the driving component body 31 along a first direction parallel to the upper surface of the support plate 1. Because the driving component body 31 of the driving component 3 is disposed on the lower surface of the support plate 1, and the telescopic end 32 reciprocates relative to the driving component body 31 along the first direction parallel to the upper surface of the support plate 1, the driving component 3 is thus positioned tightly against the lower surface of the support plate 1, thereby saving space occupied by the driving component 3.

[0039] Continue to refer to Figures 1-2 The transmission component 4 includes a slider 41 that can slide relative to the support plate 1 along a first direction and a transmission block 42 that can rotate relative to the support plate 1. The slider 41 is connected to the drive component 3, and the clamping component 2 is connected to the transmission block 42. A follower block 411 is provided at the end of the slider 41. The transmission block 42 has a guide groove 421, the extension direction of which forms an angle with the first direction. The follower block 411 is slidably disposed in the guide groove 421. When the slider 41 moves along the first direction, since the extension direction of the guide groove 421 forms an angle with the first direction, the follower block 411 slides in the guide groove 421, thereby driving the transmission block 42 to rotate relative to the support plate 1. In this way, the linear motion of the slider 41 can be converted into the rotation of the clamping block 2 through the transmission block 42. In addition, in order to reduce the frictional resistance when the follower block 411 slides in the guide groove 421, the follower block 411 is also connected to a roller, which makes rolling contact with the groove wall of the guide groove 421.

[0040] Continue to refer to Figures 1-2 A slider support 11 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support plate 1. The slider support 11 is provided with a slide rail 111 extending in the first direction. The slider 41 slides in cooperation with the slide rail 111, thereby increasing the stability of the slider 41 relative to the support plate 1.

[0041] Continue to refer to Figures 1-2 A transmission block support 12 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support plate 1. A rotating shaft 43 is fixedly connected to the transmission block 42, and the rotating shaft 43 is rotatably connected to the transmission block support 12. A clamping member 2 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 43, thereby allowing the clamping member 2 to rotate relative to the support plate 1. Optionally, the rotating shaft 43 is provided with a bearing, and the outer wall of the bearing is connected to the transmission block support 12 to reduce the frictional force when the rotating shaft 43 rotates relative to the transmission block support 12.

[0042] Continue to refer to Figures 1-2 The transmission block 42 is also fixedly connected to a connecting shaft 44, which is parallel to and spaced apart from the rotating shaft 43. The clamping member 2 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 44, so that the transmission block 42 transmits power through both the rotating shaft 43 and the connecting shaft 44, thereby improving the stability of power transmission and preventing excessive torque at the connection point between the clamping member 2 and the rotating shaft 43.

[0043] Continue to refer to Figures 1-2 The support plate 1 has a receiving groove 13, and the rotating shaft 43 is located below the support plate 1. The clamping member 2 passes through the receiving groove 13, thereby preventing the clamping member 2 from protruding along the side wall of the support plate 1, making its structure more compact, and further reducing the space occupied by the battery clamping structure.

[0044] As an alternative, the transmission component 4 includes a rack connected to the drive component 3 and a gear connected to the clamping component 2, with the rack and gear meshing.

[0045] Continue to refer to Figures 1-2 Two transmission components 4 and two clamping components 2 are provided. The two transmission components 4 are connected to the two clamping components 2 in a one-to-one transmission connection. The driving component 3 is used to drive the two transmission components 4 to move simultaneously, so as to drive the two clamping components 2 to rotate relative to the support plate 1. Thus, the two clamping components 2 abut against the two ends of the battery 100 respectively, so as to improve the limiting and clamping effect. Among them, the slider 41 of one transmission component 4 is connected to the driving component body 31, and the slider 41 of the other transmission component 4 is connected to the telescopic end 32.

[0046] Continue to refer to Figures 1-2 A buffer pad 21 is provided on the lower surface of the clamping member 2 to prevent excessive clamping force applied by the clamping member 2 to the battery 100 and to prevent damage to the outer wall of the battery 100. In this embodiment, the buffer pad 21 is urethane rubber, while in other embodiments, the buffer pad 21 can also be a rubber pad or other structures.

[0047] Continue to refer to Figures 1-2The battery clamping structure also includes a clamping mechanism 5 disposed on the upper surface of the support plate 1. The clamping mechanism 5 can abut against the side wall of the battery 100, thereby limiting the side wall of the battery 100 and preventing the battery 100 from moving in a direction parallel to the upper surface of the support plate 1. Optionally, the clamping mechanism 5 includes a plurality of limiting plates 51, the number of limiting plates 51 being four, with the four limiting plates 51 abutting against the four side walls of the battery 100 respectively. In addition, more limiting plates 51 can be provided as needed. For example, in this embodiment, one limiting plate 51 is provided at each end of the battery 100 along its length direction, and two limiting plates 51 are provided at each end of the battery 100 along its width direction, thereby limiting the battery 100 with six limiting plates 51 to improve the limiting effect.

[0048] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
