Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery production and processing technology, and in particular to a fixture structure for energy storage battery production and processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of energy storage battery manufacturing, with the rapid development of the industry, increasingly stringent requirements have been placed on the precision, efficiency, and safety of battery processing. During the processing of energy storage batteries, frequent handling, positioning, and securing operations are required to ensure the smooth progress of subsequent processing steps.

[0003] In the current energy storage battery manufacturing industry, existing clamps generally rely on separate drive systems to perform the clamping action. These separate drive systems, whether electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic, require additional energy supply. This not only increases energy costs but also significantly raises equipment purchase costs. Furthermore, operating these clamps requires operators to first place the battery on the clamp, then manually start the drive device, adjust the clamping force and position, and confirm a secure clamping before proceeding with further processing. This series of numerous steps, in today's pursuit of high-efficiency production, severely impacts production efficiency and hinders capacity expansion. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the aforementioned shortcomings, the technical problem to be solved is to provide a fixture structure for the production and processing of energy storage batteries.

[0005] The technical solution is as follows: A fixture structure for energy storage battery production and processing includes a support base, clamping blocks, return springs, support cylinders, connecting rods, a worktable, and a pushing assembly. Four support cylinders are regularly distributed in a rectangular pattern on the top of the support base. Connecting rods are slidably connected inside the support cylinders. The tops of the four connecting rods are connected to a worktable. Clamping blocks for clamping batteries are slidably connected to the left and right side walls and the front and rear side walls of the worktable. Two return springs are connected between the clamping blocks and the worktable. A pushing assembly is provided on the top of the support base.

[0006] As a further preferred embodiment, the pushing component includes a fixed block, a wedge block, and a compression spring. Fixed blocks are connected to the top left and right sides and the front and rear sides of the support base. A wedge block is connected to the inner side of the lower end of the clamping block. The wedge block and the corresponding fixed block are in contact and engaged. A compression spring is connected between the connecting rod and the inside of the support cylinder.

[0007] As a further preferred option, it also includes rubber sheets, with rubber sheets fixed to the inner sides of the clamping blocks by adhesive.

[0008] As a further preferred option, it also includes screws and rotating blocks, with two screws threaded through the clamping block and a rotating block connected to the top of the screws.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment, it also includes a fixed seat, a rotating rod, a worm gear, and a worm wheel. A vertically arranged rotating shaft is connected to the center of the bottom of the support seat. The bottom of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the fixed seat via a bearing. A worm wheel is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft between the support seat and the fixed seat. A rotating rod is rotatably connected to the top right side of the fixed seat via a bearing. A worm gear is connected to the rotating rod, and the worm gear meshes with the worm wheel.

[0010] As a further preferred option, a knob is connected to the front end of the rotating rod.

[0011] The present invention has the following advantages: 1. Relying on the weight of the battery itself, the workbench is lowered and the clamping block automatically clamps the battery, eliminating the need for manual operation of the clamping steps, which greatly improves work efficiency. The operation process is simple and smooth, reducing the labor intensity of workers.

[0012] 2. After the clamping block clamps the battery, the clamping block is further fixed by rotating the screw against the top surface of the worktable to prevent the clamping block from loosening during processing, thus ensuring the stability of the battery during processing and providing a guarantee for high-quality processing.

[0013] 3. The added worm gear angle adjustment component can easily adjust the horizontal angle of the battery by rotating the rotating rod, meeting the diverse needs of different processing techniques for battery angle, improving the adaptability of the fixture to various processing tasks, and broadening its application range.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, terms such as "setting," "installing," "connecting," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; 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; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0020] Example 1: A fixture structure for the production and processing of energy storage batteries, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, the device includes a support base 1, clamping blocks 4, return springs 5, rubber sheets 6, support cylinders 9, connecting rods 10, a worktable 12, and a pushing assembly. Four support cylinders 9 are welded to the top of the support base 1 in a rectangular, regularly distributed manner. Connecting rods 10 are slidably connected inside the support cylinders 9. The tops of the four connecting rods 10 are connected to a worktable 12, which is used to support the energy storage battery to be processed. Clamping blocks 4 for clamping the battery are slidably connected to the left, right, front, and rear side walls of the worktable 12. Two return springs 5 ​​are connected between the clamping blocks 4 and the worktable 12, providing elastic force for the clamping blocks 4 to return to their original position. Rubber sheets 6 are glued to the inner surface of each clamping block 4. When the clamping blocks 4 clamp the battery, the rubber sheets 6 act as a buffer, ensuring close contact between the two and effectively preventing wear on the battery surface. A pushing assembly is provided on the top of the support base 1.

[0021] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the pushing assembly includes a fixed block 2, an inclined block 3, and a compression spring 11. Fixed blocks 2 are welded to the top left and right sides and front and rear sides of the support base 1. An inclined block 3 is welded to the inner side of the lower end of the clamping block 4. The inclined block 3 and the corresponding fixed block 2 are in contact and fit together. A compression spring 11 is connected between the connecting rod 10 and the inside of the support cylinder 9.

[0022] When the clamping structure is installed in the processing equipment to clamp and fix the battery, the specific workflow is as follows: First, the battery is placed on the worktable 12. The worktable 12 moves downward due to the weight of the battery, which in turn drives the connecting rod 10 to move downward synchronously. During this process, the connecting rod 10 compresses the compression spring 11 inside the support cylinder 9, causing the compression spring 11 to undergo compression deformation and store elastic potential energy. As the worktable 12 moves downward, it also drives the clamping block 4 and the inclined block 3 to move downward. When the inclined block 3 and the fixed block 2 come into contact with each other, due to the inclined surface structure of the inclined block 3, under the blocking action of the fixed block 2, the inclined block 3 will move inward along the inclined surface, which in turn drives the clamping block 4 to move inward. At this time, the return spring 5 is... Further compression, as the clamping block 4 moves inward, it achieves a centered clamping operation on the battery on the worktable 12. This process can be automatically clamped by the battery's own weight, without the need for an additional power source. After the battery processing is completed, simply lift the worktable 12. The upward movement of the worktable 12 will drive the connecting rod 10 to rise together. The compression spring 11 will then gradually return to its original position, releasing the stored elastic potential energy. The upward movement of the worktable 12 will also drive the clamping block 4 and the inclined block 3 to move upward. When the inclined block 3 disengages from the fixed block 2, the return spring 5 quickly rebounds and returns to its original position, driving the clamping block 4 and the inclined block 3 to move outward, thereby loosening the clamping block 4's fixation on the battery. At this time, the operator can easily remove the processed battery.

[0023] like Figures 1-2 As shown, it also includes screws 7 and rotating blocks 8. Two screws 7 are threadedly connected to the clamping block 4. The rotating blocks 8 are welded to the top of the screws 7. After the clamping block 4 clamps the battery, the rotating block 8 can be manually rotated to drive the screws 7 to rotate and move downward until the screws 7 abut against the top surface of the worktable 12, thereby fixing the clamping block 4 and preventing it from loosening. After the battery is processed, the rotating block 8 is rotated in the opposite direction to loosen the screws 7. The clamping block 4 can then be reset normally under the action of the return spring 5 and release the battery.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a fixed base 13, a rotating rod 14, a worm gear 15, and a worm wheel 16. A vertically arranged rotating shaft is connected to the center of the bottom of the support base 1. The bottom of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the fixed base 13 via a bearing. On the rotating shaft, a worm wheel 16 is coaxially connected between the support base 1 and the fixed base 13. The rotating rod 14 is rotatably connected to the top right side of the fixed base 13 via a bearing. A worm gear 15 is welded to the rotating rod 14. The worm gear 15 meshes with the worm wheel 16 to form a worm wheel 16 worm gear 15 transmission mechanism. A knob is connected to the front end of the rotating rod 14, which allows the operator to rotate the rotating rod 14 by turning the knob.

[0025] The fixed base 13 serves as the basic support structure of the entire fixture device, securely installed in the processing equipment. During battery processing, if the horizontal angle of the battery needs to be adjusted to meet different processing requirements, the operator can manually turn the knob to rotate the rotating rod 14. This, through the meshing of the worm gear 15 and worm wheel 16, drives the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the support base 1 and the worktable 12 to rotate, ultimately rotating the battery on the worktable 12 and adjusting its angle for processing. Once the battery angle is adjusted to the appropriate position, the operator stops turning the knob. At this point, the worm wheel 16 and worm gear 15, relying on their self-locking characteristics, can stably maintain the support base 1 and the worktable 12 at the current angle, ensuring the positional stability of the battery during processing.

[0026] The technical principles of the present invention have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can conceive of other specific embodiments of the present invention without creative effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
