[0037] Figure 1 This diagram illustrates the structure of the battery cell carrier 100 provided in this embodiment when a workpiece 300 to be carried is placed on it. Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a transport trolley, which is mainly used on a prismatic battery cell production line to transfer prismatic battery cells between two processing stations. In this embodiment, the workpiece 300 to be carried mainly refers to a prismatic battery cell. Of course, in other embodiments, the workpiece 300 to be carried can also be other workpieces with a square shape, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0038] Specifically, the transport trolley includes a trolley body 200 and a cell-carrying device 100 mounted on the trolley body 200. The cell-carrying device 100 is used to carry the workpiece 300 to be transferred. However, in the prior art, the cell-carrying device 100 is often only applicable to one type and size of prismatic battery cells, requiring the production line to manufacture different transport trolleys for different types of prismatic battery cells, which greatly increases equipment costs and also affects the adjustment flexibility and response speed of the production line. To solve this problem, this embodiment also provides a cell-carrying device 100, which has better versatility and can carry and transfer multiple types of prismatic battery cells, reducing equipment costs while improving the adjustment flexibility and response speed of the production line.

[0039] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of the cell carrier device 100 provided in this embodiment is shown. Figure 3 A partial exploded view of the cell carrier device 100 provided in this embodiment is shown. Figure 4 It shows Figure 3 Post a larger image of a portion of point A. For example... Figures 2-3 As shown, the battery cell carrier device 100 provided in this embodiment includes a mounting platform 110, a carrier module group 130, and at least one set of slide rail groups 120. At least one set of slide rail groups 120 is disposed on the mounting platform 110. Each set of slide rail groups 120 includes two adjustable slide rails 121 that are spaced apart along a first direction and extend along a second direction. The distance between the two adjustable slide rails 121 in each set of slide rail groups 120 is adjustable. Each adjustable slide rail 121 corresponds to at least one set of carrier module groups 130. Each set of carrier module groups 130 includes two carrier modules 131 that are arranged opposite to each other along the second direction and are slidably fitted on the adjustable slide rails 121. The four carrier modules 131 in the two corresponding sets of carrier module groups 130 on each set of slide rail groups 120 together form a placement position for carrying the workpiece 300 to be carried.

[0040] The battery cell carrier device 100 provided in this embodiment can adjust the distance between the two adjustable slide rails 121 in each slide rail group 120 along the first direction by setting the distance between the carrier module groups 130 on the adjacent two adjustable slide rails 121. By sliding the two carrier modules 131 in the carrier module group 130 onto the adjustable slide rail 121, the distance between the two carrier modules 131 along the second direction can be adjusted, thereby realizing the adjustment of the length and / or width of the placement position to adapt to the carrying of different models of workpieces 300 to be carried, improving the versatility of the battery cell carrier device 100, and also improving the adjustment flexibility and response speed of the production line, reducing the equipment adjustment time and cost caused by changes in the size of the workpieces 300 to be carried.

[0041] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the length direction of the workpiece 300 to be supported on the placement position is parallel to the first direction, and its thickness direction is parallel to the second direction. Of course, in other embodiments, the placement direction of the workpiece 300 to be supported can be adjusted according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0042] like Figures 3-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting platform 110 is integrally formed on the vehicle body 200, that is, the mounting platform 110 is formed on the upper surface of the vehicle body 200. This configuration method facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the transport trolley. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting platform 110 can also be configured to be detachably connected to the vehicle body 200 to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the battery cell carrier device 100. When the vehicle body 200 of a transport trolley malfunctions, the entire battery cell carrier device 100 can be removed from the vehicle body 200 and reinstalled on a new vehicle body 200, thereby further improving the versatility of the battery cell carrier device 100. In addition, the battery cell carrier device 100 can also be used in other fields to carry other square workpieces. Exemplarily, the mounting platform 110 can be detachably connected to the vehicle body 200 by bolts, snap-fit, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0043] To achieve position adjustment of the adjustable slide rail 121 along the first direction, in this embodiment, the mounting platform 110 is provided with an adjusting groove 111 extending along the first direction. Each adjustable slide rail 121 is slidably engaged with the adjusting groove 111, resulting in a simple structure and easy adjustment. To prevent changes in the relative position between the two adjustable slide rails 121 during the movement of the transport trolley, the slide rail assembly 120 also includes a fixing member (not shown in the figure), which is configured to fix the relative position between the adjustable slide rail 121 and the mounting platform 110.

[0044] Optionally, the fixing component is a fixing screw, which passes through the corresponding adjusting slide rail 121 and is screwed onto the mounting platform 110 to lock the position between the two. Optionally, the fixing bolt can be made of reinforced plastic material, which is easy to operate manually and can provide reliable fixing force. When it is necessary to adjust the relative position between the two adjusting slide rails 121, the operator can first loosen the fixing component, then push the corresponding adjusting slide rail 121 along the extension direction of the adjusting slide groove 111, and tighten the fixing component when it is adjusted to the appropriate position. The adjustment is convenient and quick. This setting allows the operator to quickly adjust the distance between the two adjusting slide rails 121 along the first direction according to the size of the workpiece 300 to be carried along the first direction. This setting not only simplifies the adjustment process of the transport trolley, but also improves the stability and safety of the transport trolley in carrying the workpiece 300.

[0045] Optionally, there are multiple adjusting slides 111, which are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart along the second direction. Each adjusting slide rail 121 is simultaneously slidably engaged in all the adjusting slides 111 to ensure the stability of the adjusting slide rail 121 during the position adjustment process along the first direction.

[0046] Of course, in other embodiments, the adjustment groove 111 may not be provided on the mounting platform 110. In this case, the mounting platform 110 is provided with a plurality of adjustment holes arranged at intervals along the first direction, and the fixing member can pass through any adjustment hole and be fixed on the corresponding adjustment slide rail 121. This arrangement can also realize the adjustment of the distance between the two adjustment slide rails 121 along the first direction.

[0047] Optionally, the adjusting slide rail 121 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy, which is both strong and lightweight. During processing, the adjusting slide rail 121 can undergo surface treatment to enhance its wear resistance and corrosion resistance, ensuring its long-term stability and reliability.

[0048] Continue as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, each carrying module 131 includes a slider 1311 and a carrier member 1312 disposed on the slider 1311. The carrier member 1312 is used to carry part of the workpiece 300 to be carried. The slider 1311 is slidably engaged with the corresponding adjusting slide rail 121. By sliding the slider 1311 onto the adjusting slide rail 121, the distance between the two carrier members 1312 in the carrying module group 130 along the second direction can be adjusted. To prevent the relative position between the two sliders 1311 from changing during the movement of the transport trolley, each carrying module 131 also includes a locking member 1313, which is used to lock the relative position between the corresponding slider 1311 and the adjusting slide rail 121. Optionally, the locking member 1313 is a wing screw, which can pass through the corresponding locking member 1313 and be screwed onto the adjusting slide rail 121, thereby locking the position between the two. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two support modules 131, the operator can first loosen the locking piece 1313, then push the corresponding slider 1311 along the extension direction of the adjusting slide rail 121. Once it is adjusted to the appropriate position, the locking piece 1313 can be tightened. The adjustment is convenient and quick. By using wing screws, the operator can quickly adjust and fix the position of the slider 1311 by manually loosening or tightening them without the need for external tools. This design is more suitable for the needs of high-speed production lines, making the replacement of the workpiece 300 to be supported more efficient.

[0049] Optionally, the slider 1311 is made of a lightweight, high-strength material, which provides both high strength and low weight, ensuring its safety and stability during long-term use. In this embodiment, the slider 1311 is specifically made of aluminum alloy. During processing, an anti-wear layer can be coated on the surface of the slider 1311 to further extend the service life of the battery cell carrier 100. Furthermore, the slider 1311, in conjunction with the adjusting slide rail 121, allows for adjustment of the placement position along the second direction. This design is simple, easy to operate, and ensures smooth sliding.

[0050] To ensure stable support of the workpiece 300, the support member 1312 is provided with receiving grooves 13121. The receiving grooves 13121 of the four corresponding support modules 131 are arranged together to form the aforementioned placement position. By placing the workpiece 300 to be supported in the receiving grooves 13121 of the four corresponding support modules 131, the workpiece 300 can be limited, preventing it from falling during transportation. Optionally, the receiving grooves 13121 on the support member 1312 are L-shaped, and the four L-shaped receiving grooves 13121 are arranged to form a rectangular placement position to stably support the workpiece 300.

[0051] Optionally, the carrier 1312 is made of insulating material to provide insulation between the workpiece 300 to be carried and the vehicle body 200, as well as among multiple workpieces 300, ensuring the safety of the transport trolley during use. In this embodiment, the carrier 1312 is a nylon pad, which has good insulation properties and provides the necessary mechanical strength to ensure long-term safety and stability. During processing, the carrier 1312 and the slider 1311 are integrated, which effectively prevents sliding misalignment between the carrier 1312 and the slider 1311 during position adjustment, further ensuring the accuracy and safety of operation.

[0052] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the specific number of slide rail group 120 and the bearing module group 130 on each adjusting slide rail 121. They can be adjusted according to the specific size of the transport trolley and the size of the workpiece 300 to be transported along the first and second directions.

[0053] The above embodiments merely illustrate the basic principles and characteristics of this utility model. This utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
