Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lithium-ion battery processing technology, and specifically relates to a clamping and positioning device for lithium-ion battery processing. Background Technology

[0002] A clamping and positioning device for lithium-ion battery processing is a mechanical device used to fix lithium-ion battery packs during the lithium-ion battery production process. This device is typically used to ensure the stability of the lithium-ion battery packs during processing in order to achieve precise processing operations.

[0003] Existing clamping and positioning devices for lithium-ion battery processing use a drive mechanism to drive four clamping and positioning plates that move towards each other simultaneously to achieve full clamping of the four sides (left, right, front, and back) of the lithium-ion battery pack. However, they can only clamp and position square lithium-ion battery packs. Although the clamping and positioning plates on the left and right sides can be adjusted to clamp and position specific rectangular lithium-ion battery packs, changing the spacing of the clamping and positioning plates requires personnel to disassemble the positioning device to change it. The whole process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it also reduces the efficiency of lithium-ion battery processing. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this utility model addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a clamping and positioning device for lithium-ion battery processing. It can automatically and flexibly adjust the clamping and positioning plates on the left and right sides and coordinate with the clamping and positioning plates on the front and rear sides to move closer to each other to quickly achieve clamping and positioning of lithium-ion battery packs of different sizes. No manual intervention is required, which effectively improves the efficiency of lithium-ion battery processing.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a clamping and positioning device for lithium-ion battery processing, including a placement plate, four sliding plates slidably arranged inside the placement plate, front and rear clamping plates being provided at the upper ends of the two sliding plates on the front and rear sides, and two frame plates corresponding to left and right positions being provided at the lower end of the placement plate. The placement plate and the frame plates are fixed together by welding. A moving drive mechanism for driving the four sliding plates to move is provided between the two frame plates. Adjustable left and right clamping mechanisms are provided on the two sliding plates on the left and right sides. The moving drive mechanism includes a connecting plate disposed between the two frame plates. The frame plates and the connecting plate are fixed together by welding. A lead screw is rotatably mounted between the plates. A rotating frame is threaded onto the outer surface of the lead screw. Four connecting frames are rotatably mounted inside the rotating frame. A rotating seat is mounted at the lower end of each of the four sliding plates. The four connecting frames are rotatably connected to the interior of the rotating seat. An electric drive unit for driving the lead screw is mounted at the lower end of the connecting plate. The electric drive unit includes a motor mounted at the lower end of the connecting plate. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the lower end of the lead screw via a coupling. The adjustable left and right clamping mechanism includes two rectangular plates mounted on the two sliding plates on the left and right sides respectively. An electric push rod is mounted at the upper end of each of the two rectangular plates. Left and right clamping plates are mounted on the telescopic ends of the two electric push rods.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, a control panel is provided on the front side of the placement plate, and the motor and electric push rod are electrically connected to the control panel.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, flexible pad 1 is provided on the opposite inner side of the front and rear clamping plates, and flexible pad 2 is provided on the opposite inner side of the two left and right clamping plates. The front and rear clamping plates and flexible pad 1 are fixed by adhesive bonding, and the left and right clamping plates and flexible pad 2 are fixed by adhesive bonding.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, each frame plate is provided with a mounting plate at its lower end. Both mounting plates have multiple mounting holes inside. The frame plate and the mounting plate are fixed together by welding.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0010] Firstly, by placing the lithium-ion battery pack to be clamped and positioned in the upper middle part of the placement platform, and then controlling the motor to run, the output shaft drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the rotating frame connected to it to move downward, thereby causing the internal connecting frame to rotate. Through the rotating seat, the four sliding plates inside the placement plate move closer to each other simultaneously. Thus, the front and rear clamping plates and the left and right clamping plates achieve comprehensive clamping and positioning of the lithium-ion battery pack on the front, rear, left and right sides, which can quickly achieve clamping and positioning of the lithium-ion battery pack.

[0011] Secondly, by controlling the opening of the electric push rod, the telescopic end can drive the left and right clamping plates on both sides to move to a suitable distance. Then, by controlling the motor to run, it can achieve clamping and positioning of lithium-ion battery packs of different sizes. It can automatically and flexibly adjust the clamping and positioning plates on the left and right sides and cooperate with the clamping and positioning plates on the front and rear sides to move closer to each other to quickly achieve clamping and positioning of lithium-ion battery packs of different sizes without the need for manual adjustment, effectively improving the efficiency of lithium-ion battery processing.

[0012] Thirdly, by using the anti-slip pads on the front and rear clamping plates and the anti-slip pads on the left and right clamping plates to achieve flexible contact with the lithium-ion battery pack during clamping and positioning, damage to the lithium-ion battery pack can be avoided during clamping, thus improving the quality of the lithium-ion battery pack.

[0013] Fourth, the clamping and positioning device is fixedly installed by inserting bolts into the mounting holes on the mounting plate, which prevents the clamping and positioning device from shifting and also makes it quick and easy for personnel to install the clamping and positioning device into the designated position.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To better understand this utility model, the following embodiments further illustrate its content, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the embodiments described below. Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a more thorough understanding of this utility model. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model can be practiced without one or more of these details.

[0021] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, a clamping and positioning device for processing lithium-ion batteries includes a placement plate 101. Four sliding plates 204 are slidably disposed inside the placement plate 101. Front and rear clamping plates 202 are provided at the upper ends of the two sliding plates 204 on the front and rear sides. Two frame plates 102 with corresponding left and right positions are provided at the lower end of the placement plate 101. A moving drive mechanism for moving the four sliding plates 204 is disposed between the two frame plates 102. Adjustable left and right clamping mechanisms are provided on the two sliding plates 204 on the left and right sides. The moving drive mechanism includes a connecting plate 208 disposed between the two frame plates 102. A lead screw 207 is rotatably mounted between the connecting plate 208 and the placement plate 101. A rotating frame 209 is threaded onto the outer surface of the lead screw 207. Four connecting frames 206 are rotatably mounted inside the rotating frame 209. A rotating seat 205 is mounted at the lower end of each of the four sliding plates 204. The four connecting frames 206 are rotatably connected to the interior of the rotating seat 205. An electric drive unit for driving the lead screw 207 to rotate is mounted at the lower end of the connecting plate 208. The electric drive unit includes a motor 201 mounted at the lower end of the connecting plate 208. The output shaft of the motor 201 is connected to the lower end of the lead screw 207 via a coupling.

[0022] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the adjustable left and right clamping mechanism includes two rectangular plates 303 respectively disposed on two sliding plates 204 on the left and right sides. Each of the two rectangular plates 303 is provided with an electric push rod 302 at its upper end. Each of the two electric push rods 302 is provided with a left and right clamping plate 301 at its telescopic end. The left and right positions of the two left and right clamping plates 301 are corresponding. Each of the front and rear clamping plates 202 is provided with a flexible pad 1 203 on its opposite inner side surface. Each of the two left and right clamping plates 301 is provided with a flexible pad 2 304 on its opposite inner side surface.

[0023] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a control panel 105 is provided on the front side of the placement plate 101, and the motor 201 and the electric push rod 302 are both electrically connected to the control panel 105.

[0024] By placing the lithium-ion battery pack that needs to be clamped and positioned at the upper center of the placement platform, the motor 201 is turned on by the control panel 105. The output shaft drives the lead screw 207 to rotate, causing the rotating frame 209 connected to it to move downward, thereby causing the connecting frame 206 inside to rotate. The rotating seat 205 drives the four sliding plates 204 inside the placement plate 101 to move closer to each other at the same time. Thus, the front and rear clamping plates 202 and the left and right clamping plates 301 achieve comprehensive clamping and positioning of the lithium-ion battery pack on the front, rear and left and right sides.

[0025] When multiple lithium-ion battery packs of different sizes need to be clamped and positioned simultaneously, the electric push rod 302 can be opened by controlling the control panel 105. The telescopic end can drive the left and right clamping plates 301 on both sides to move to a suitable distance. Then, the motor 201 can be opened by controlling the motor to run, so as to clamp and position lithium-ion battery packs of different sizes.

[0026] The anti-slip pads on the front and rear clamping plates 202 and the anti-slip pads on the left and right clamping plates 301 achieve flexible contact with the lithium-ion battery pack when clamping and positioning it, which can prevent damage to the lithium-ion battery pack during clamping.

[0027] According to another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, each of the frame plates 102 has a mounting plate 103 at its lower end. Both mounting plates 103 have multiple mounting holes 104 inside. Personnel can use bolts to insert into the mounting holes 104 on the mounting plate 103 to fix the clamping and positioning device in place, thus preventing the clamping and positioning device from shifting.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
