AI Technical Summary
Existing pouch batteries are prone to deformation and falling off during clamping and transfer, especially plate-shaped pouch batteries. The problems of deformation caused by clamping force and falling off during transfer have not been effectively solved.
A soft-pack battery handling fixture was designed, which combines a first clamping mechanism and a second clamping mechanism. The first clamping plate and the second clamping plate clamp the middle of the battery, while the first chuck and the second chuck clamp the edge of the battery and lift the bottom of the battery to ensure that the battery is subjected to uniform force and to avoid deformation and falling.
This ensures that the battery does not deform or fall during transportation, and that the force is evenly distributed, thus guaranteeing the battery's stability and safety.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery processing equipment technology, and in particular to a soft-pack battery handling fixture. Background Technology
[0002] In the production process of pouch batteries, the pouch batteries are usually placed in a formation cabinet for processing to ensure that the performance and condition of the pouch batteries are normal. Pouch batteries are usually loaded into the formation cabinet using a fixture.
[0003] Among them, the plate-shaped pouch battery, being relatively long and thin, is quite easily deformed. Therefore, when a common jig clamps a plate-shaped pouch battery, the battery may deform due to the clamping force. Furthermore, during the jig transfer process, due to the considerable length of the plate-shaped pouch battery, it may fall off the jig after deforming.
[0004] For example, Chinese Patent Application No. CN202222861095 discloses a novel battery fixture, which specifically discloses that "a first reference position and a second reference position are kept coaxial, the battery is placed on the first reference position and the second reference position simultaneously, the first clamping component moves toward the first reference position to press the battery against the first reference position and clamps the battery in cooperation with the first reference position, the second clamping component also moves toward the second reference position to press the battery against the second reference position and clamps the battery in cooperation with the second reference position, and the use of two sets of clamping and alignment mechanisms can clamp the battery at both ends in the length direction simultaneously." This type of battery fixture clamps plate-shaped batteries, which can easily cause the batteries to deform, and the batteries may fall off during the transfer process due to deformation.
[0005] For example, Chinese patent application number CN202322071281.7, concerning battery fixtures and battery welding equipment, specifically discloses that "the fixture assembly includes a connecting plate and a fixture unit, the fixture unit is movably connected to the connecting plate and has a clamping position and a releasing position relative to the battery, and the connecting plate is rotatably mounted on a base." This type of battery fixture, which clamps plate-shaped batteries, can easily cause battery deformation, and the batteries may fall off during transfer due to deformation. Utility Model Content

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, it illustrates the specific structure of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is a soft-pack battery handling fixture.
[0031] In this mechanism, the first clamping plate 210 and the second clamping plate 221 of the first clamping mechanism 20 clamp the middle part of the battery 50; the first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420 of the second clamping mechanism 40 clamp the edge of the battery 50 and lift it up. Therefore, with the cooperation of the first clamping mechanism 20 and the second clamping mechanism 40, the battery 50 will not deform or fall off.
[0032] This application provides a soft-pack battery handling fixture, including a first clamping mechanism 20 and a second clamping mechanism 40; the second clamping mechanism 40 is disposed on both sides of the first clamping mechanism 20; this design allows the middle part of the battery and both ends of the battery to receive good clamping force, so that the battery will not deform or fall off, and the force on the battery is more balanced.
[0033] The first clamping mechanism 20 includes a first mounting frame 21, a first clamping plate 210, and a second clamping plate 221. The first mounting frame 21 is liftable, and the first clamping plate 210 and the second clamping plate 221 are disposed on the first mounting frame 21, and the first clamping plate 210 and the second clamping plate 221 can clamp the battery 50. The second clamping mechanism 40 includes a second mounting frame 41, a first chuck 410, and a second chuck 420. The first chuck 410 and the second chuck 420 are disposed on the second mounting frame 41, and the first chuck 410 and the second chuck 420 can clamp the battery 50. When the transport fixture is working, the first clamping plate 210 and the second clamping plate 221 on the first mounting frame 21 move toward the battery 50, and the first clamping plate 210 and the second clamping plate 221 clamp the middle part of the battery 50. The first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420 on the second mounting bracket 41 clamp the left and right edges of the aluminum-plastic film of the battery 50, while simultaneously supporting the bottom left and right ends of the battery 50. This provides excellent support and clamping force for the entire battery 50, preventing deformation and loss during transfer. The first clamping plate 210 and the second clamping plate 221 are plate-shaped, further preventing deformation of the battery 50. The first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420 clamp the edge aluminum-plastic film of the battery 50 and support it. Therefore, with the cooperation of the first clamping mechanism 20 and the second clamping mechanism 40, the battery 50 can be transferred smoothly without deformation.
[0034] Preferably, the first mounting bracket 21 is further provided with a first clamping plate seat 213 and a second clamping plate seat 224; the first clamping plate 210 is disposed on the first clamping plate seat 213, and the second clamping plate seat 224 is disposed on the first clamping plate seat 213. The first clamping plate seat 213 is connected to the output end of the first cylinder 212, and the second clamping plate seat 224 is connected to the output end of the second cylinder 223. A plurality of first clamping plates 210 are disposed at intervals on the first clamping plate seat 213, and a plurality of second clamping plates 221 are disposed on the second clamping plate seat 224. The first clamping plates 210 and the second clamping plates 221 cooperate to clamp the middle part of the battery 50 or the entire side of the battery 50, so that the force on the battery 50 is very even and the battery 50 will not be deformed. The first cylinder 212 drives the first clamping plate seat 213 to move, and the second cylinder 223 drives the second clamping plate seat 224 to move. The first clamping plate seat 213 and the second clamping plate seat 224 can move towards each other or away from each other, so that the first clamping plate 210 and the second clamping plate 221 can close and clamp the battery 50.
[0035] Preferably, the bottom of the first clamping plate 210 is provided with a first guide surface 211, and the bottom of the second clamping plate 221 is provided with a second guide surface 222; the first guide surface 211 and the second guide surface 222 cooperate to facilitate the clamping of the battery 50 by the first clamping plate 210 and the second clamping plate 221. The upper middle inner wall of the first clamping plate 210 and the second clamping plate 221 is thickened, and the lower middle inner wall of the first clamping plate 210 and the second clamping plate 221 is thinned. This design can control the closure between the first clamping plate 210 and the second clamping plate 221, and the first clamping plate 210 and the second clamping plate 221 can clamp the battery 50 with the designed force, so that the battery 50 will not be deformed.
[0036] Preferably, the first mounting frame 21 is provided with a first slider 22, and the second clamping plate seat 224 is provided with a first slide rail 225, and the first slider 22 slides on the first slide rail 225; the first mounting frame 21 is connected to the lifting mechanism 30, which includes a third mounting frame 31 and a third cylinder 32 disposed on the third mounting frame 31; the output end of the third cylinder 32 is connected to the first mounting frame 21, and a guide rod 33 is disposed between the third mounting frame 31 and the first mounting frame 21. The first mounting frame 21 and the second clamping plate 221 are slidably connected. In this embodiment, the first clamping plate seat 213 is frame-shaped, and a plurality of first clamping plates 210 are disposed on the first clamping plate seat 213. More specifically, the first cylinder 212 drives the first clamping plate seat 213 to move to the left, and the second cylinder 223 drives the second clamping plate seat 224 to move to the right, so that the first clamping plate seat 213 and the second clamping plate 221 can close and clamp the battery 50. The third cylinder 32 drives the third mounting bracket 31 to move up and down, enabling the first clamping plate 210 and the second clamping plate 221 to move up and down as well. The guide rod 33 keeps the movement of the third mounting bracket 31 and the first mounting bracket 21 stable. Please refer to... Figure 3As shown, the second clamping plate 221 can support the first clamping plate seat 213, and the first clamping plate seat 213 can slide left and right on the second clamping plate 221. This can improve the working stability of the first clamping mechanism 20 and prevent it from falling off.
[0037] Preferably, a first chuck seat 412 and a second chuck seat 422 are slidably disposed on the second mounting bracket 41. The output end of the fourth cylinder 411 is connected to the first chuck seat 412, and the output end of the fifth cylinder 421 is connected to the second chuck seat 422. The first chuck seat 412 is provided with a plurality of first chucks 410, and the second chuck seat 422 is provided with a plurality of second chucks 420. The fourth cylinder 411 drives the first chuck seat 412 to the left, and the fifth cylinder 421 drives the second chuck seat 422 to the right. The first chucks 410 and the second chucks 420 can then close and clamp the edge of the battery 50, and support the edge of the battery 50. The structure is very ingenious.
[0038] Preferably, the second mounting bracket 41 is provided with a second slide rail 42 and a third slide rail 44, the first chuck seat 412 is provided with a second slider 43, and the second chuck seat 422 is provided with a third slider 45. The second slider 43 slides on the second slide rail 42, and the third slider 45 slides on the third slide rail 44. The first chuck seat 412 and the second chuck seat 422 can slide on the second mounting bracket 41. This design helps to close the first chuck 410 and the second chuck 420 smoothly and with good synchronization.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, preferably, a spring rod 423 is provided between the second chuck 420 and the second chuck seat 422. The spring rod 423 can control the amount of movement of the second chuck 420, so that the amount of closure between the first chuck 410 and the second chuck 420 can be well controlled, preventing sudden excessive force and controlling the clamping force of the first chuck 410 and the second chuck 420.
[0040] Preferably, the first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420 are L-shaped with flat clamping surfaces; the first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420 clamp the edge of the battery. This design allows the first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420 to clamp the side and bottom edges of the battery 50, while also supporting the battery 50, ensuring the stability of the battery 50 during movement, and preventing the battery 50 from falling off.
[0041] Preferably, the first clamping mechanism 20 and the second clamping mechanism 40 are disposed on the lifting frame 10, which is connected to the drive module. The drive module is an xyz module, which drives the first clamping mechanism 20 and the second clamping mechanism 40 to move in the x-axis, y-axis and z-axis directions.
[0042] In summary, the key design feature of this utility model is that the first clamping plate 210 and the second clamping plate 221 are plate-shaped, clamping the middle of the battery 50 so that the battery 50 is subjected to balanced force and will not deform. The first clamp 410 and the second clamp 420 clamp the edge of the battery 50 and support the bottom of the battery 50. The end and side of the battery 50 are clamped, and the bottom is supported, so the battery 50 will not fall off during transportation.
