Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of battery cell module production equipment, specifically to a battery cell module assembly equipment. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of battery cell modules, a water-cooling plate needs to be fixed on one side of the battery cell module for water cooling.

[0003] Currently, the majority of production processes involve manually placing the water-cooled plate onto the battery cell module and then transporting it to a designated pressing station. However, this method is inefficient, and because the water-cooled plate is not fixed to the battery cell module after manual placement, misalignment can easily occur during transport. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that in the existing technology, the production process of battery cell modules mostly involves manually placing the water-cooled plate on the battery cell module and then transporting it to a predetermined pressing station for operation. However, this method is inefficient, and because the water-cooled plate is not fixed to the battery cell module after manual placement, misalignment is prone to occur during transportation.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a battery cell module assembly equipment, which includes a flipping mechanism and two sets of clamping mechanisms disposed opposite to each other on the flipping mechanism:

[0006] The flipping mechanism is configured to drive the two sets of clamping mechanisms to flip so as to clamp the water-cooled plate and the battery module from the loading station respectively.

[0007] Each of the clamping mechanisms includes a translation drive assembly and two sets of clamping plate assemblies, the two sets of clamping plate assemblies being disposed opposite to each other at the drive end of the translation drive assembly, the translation drive assembly being configured to drive the two sets of clamping plate assemblies to move closer to or further away from each other;

[0008] At least one of the clamping mechanisms further includes a pressure-applying component, the force-applying end of which is drively connected to the clamping plate assembly and configured to apply the pressure required for assembly to the water-cooled plates or battery cell modules held by the two sets of clamping mechanisms.

[0009] In the above structure, two clamping mechanisms are arranged in two layers on the flipping mechanism. When the flipping mechanism rotates, it can drive the two clamping mechanisms to interchange positions, thereby enabling the two clamping mechanisms to clamp the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module from the loading station respectively. Each clamping mechanism includes a translation drive assembly and two clamping plate assemblies. By setting the two clamping plate assemblies opposite to each other at the drive end of the translation drive assembly, when clamping the water-cooled plate or the battery cell module, the translation drive assembly drives the two clamping plate assemblies closer to each other. When it is necessary to release the assembled water-cooled plate and battery cell module, the translation drive assembly drives the two clamping plate assemblies further apart. By setting a pressure assembly, and the force application end of the pressure assembly is connected to the clamping plate assembly, after the clamping mechanism has completed clamping the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module, the pressure assembly applies the pressure required for assembly to the water-cooled plate or battery cell module held by the clamping mechanism, thus completing the assembly of the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module. This battery cell module assembly equipment eliminates the need for manual assembly of water-cooled plates and battery cell modules, resulting in high work efficiency. Furthermore, by setting up two sets of clamping mechanisms to grip the water-cooled plates and battery cell modules, the clamping accuracy is high, preventing misalignment that can easily occur during manual transport of the water-cooled plates and battery cell modules.

[0010] In one alternative embodiment, any of the clamping plate assemblies includes a mounting rod and multiple sets of clamping members connected to the clamping side of the mounting rod.

[0022] In one optional embodiment, the straightening mechanism includes two sets of identical and oppositely arranged pushing mechanisms, with a straightening space formed between the two sets of pushing mechanisms, and the two ends of the pushing mechanisms are slidably mounted on the flipping frame.

[0023] A driving mechanism is provided corresponding to each of the two sets of pushing mechanisms. Each set of driving mechanisms includes a mounting component, a driving component, several abutting components, and several pressing components.

All the pressing components are spaced apart on the pushing mechanism and are provided in one-to-one correspondence with all the abutting components. Each pressing component has an inclined pressing end, and each pressing end is abutted against a corresponding abutting component.

[0024] When the driving member drives the abutting component to move, the abutting component pushes against the pressing member to drive the pushing mechanism to move, and brings the two sets of pushing mechanisms closer to each other to fix and align the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module.

[0025] In one optional embodiment, the pushing mechanism includes a pushing member, a contact member, and two sets of alignment components. The two ends of the pushing member are slidably mounted on the flipping frame, and the contact member is fixedly mounted on the side of the pushing member.

[0036] This utility model provides a battery cell module assembly device, including a flipping mechanism and two sets of clamping mechanisms disposed opposite to each other on the flipping mechanism. The flipping mechanism is configured to drive the two sets of clamping mechanisms to flip so as to clamp a water-cooling plate and a battery cell module respectively from the loading station. Each clamping mechanism includes a translation drive assembly and two sets of clamping plate assemblies.

[0037] This battery cell module assembly equipment features two clamping mechanisms arranged in two layers on a flipping mechanism. As the flipping mechanism rotates, the positions of the two clamping mechanisms interchange, allowing the water-cooling plate and battery cell module to be clamped separately from the loading station. Each clamping mechanism includes a translation drive assembly and two clamping plate assemblies. The two clamping plate assemblies are positioned opposite each other at the drive end of the translation drive assembly. When clamping the water-cooling plate or battery cell module, the translation drive assembly moves the two clamping plate assemblies closer together. When it is necessary to release the assembled water-cooling plate and battery cell module, the translation drive assembly moves the two clamping plate assemblies further apart. A pressure-applying assembly is included, with its force-applying end connected to the clamping plate assemblies.

[0060] Example

[0061] This embodiment provides a battery cell module assembly equipment, including a flipping mechanism 1, two sets of clamping mechanisms 2 arranged opposite to each other on the flipping mechanism 1, a straightening mechanism 3, and a feeding mechanism 4.

[0062] In this embodiment, the flipping mechanism 1 is configured to drive the two sets of clamping mechanisms 2 to flip and clamp the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module respectively from the loading station; each clamping mechanism 2 includes a translation drive assembly 21 and two sets of clamping plate assemblies 22, the two sets of clamping plate assemblies 22 are arranged opposite to each other at the drive end of the translation drive assembly 21, and the translation drive assembly 21 is configured to drive the two sets of clamping plate assemblies 22 to move closer or further away from each other; at least one set of clamping mechanisms 2 also includes a pressure assembly 23, the force-applying end of the pressure assembly 23 is connected to the clamping plate assembly 22 in a transmission connection, and is configured to apply the pressure required for assembly to the water-cooled plate or battery cell module clamped by the two sets of clamping mechanisms 2.

[0063] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, two sets of clamping mechanisms 2 are arranged in two layers on the flipping mechanism 1. When the flipping mechanism 1 rotates, it can drive the two sets of clamping mechanisms 2 to interchange positions, thereby realizing the clamping of water-cooled plates and battery cell modules from the loading station by the two sets of clamping mechanisms 2 respectively. Figure 2 As shown, any clamping mechanism 2 includes a translation drive assembly 21 and two sets of clamping plate assemblies 22. The two sets of clamping plate assemblies 22 are arranged opposite each other at the drive end of the translation drive assembly 21. When clamping a water-cooled plate or a battery cell module, the translation drive assembly 21 drives the two sets of clamping plate assemblies 22 closer together. When it is necessary to release the assembled water-cooled plate and battery cell module, the translation drive assembly 21 drives the two sets of clamping plate assemblies 22 further apart. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, by setting up a pressurizing component 23, and with the force-applying end of the pressurizing component 23 being connected to the clamping plate component 22, after the clamping mechanism 2 completes the clamping of the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module, the pressurizing component 23 applies the pressure required for assembly to the water-cooled plate or battery cell module held by the clamping mechanism 2, thus completing the assembly of the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module. This battery cell module assembly equipment eliminates the need for manual assembly of the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module, resulting in high work efficiency. Furthermore, by setting up two sets of clamping mechanisms 2 to clamp the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module, the clamping accuracy of the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module is high, preventing misalignment that can easily occur during manual transport of the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module.

[0064] In this embodiment, any clamping plate assembly 22 includes a mounting rod 221 and multiple sets of clamping members 222 connected to the clamping side of the mounting rod 221. The mounting rod 221 is connected to the driving end of the translation drive assembly 21 and is driven by the translation drive assembly 21 to drive the multiple sets of clamping members 222 to move synchronously.

[0065] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the clamping plate assembly 22 includes a mounting rod 221 and multiple sets of clamping members 222 connected to the clamping side of the mounting rod 221. The mounting rod 221 is connected to the driving end of the translation drive assembly 21 and is driven by the translation drive assembly 21 to move closer or further away from each other. By connecting multiple sets of clamping members 222 to the clamping side of the mounting rod 221, when the mounting rods 221 move closer to each other, the clamping members 222 on the two mounting rods 221 cooperate with each other to clamp the water cooling plate or the battery cell module.

[0066] In this embodiment, any clamping member 222 includes a hook, the fixed end of which is fixedly connected to the mounting rod 221, and the lifting end of which extends horizontally.

[0067] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, by setting the lifting end of the hook to extend horizontally, when the mounting rods 221 approach each other, the lifting ends of the hooks on the two mounting rods 221 can abut against the bottom side of the water-cooled plate or the battery cell module, thereby achieving the lifting and clamping of the water-cooled plate or the battery cell module.

[0068] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the pressurizing component 23 includes a pressing member and a biasing member 231. The pressing member is slidably mounted on the mounting rod 221, and the biasing member 231 is disposed between the pressing member and the mounting rod 221. The biasing member 231 is used to drive the pressing member to move away from the mounting rod 221 to apply pressure to the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module held by the clamping mechanism 2.

[0069] By setting up pressing and biasing components 231, after clamping the water-cooled plate and the battery module, the water-cooled plate and the battery module are brought into contact with each other. Then, by driving the pressing component to move away from the mounting rod 221, pressure is applied to the water-cooled plate and the battery module held by the clamping mechanism 2, thereby realizing the assembly of the water-cooled plate and the battery module. Among them, the pressure component 23 can be set on the clamping mechanism 2 on the water-cooled plate side. During the operation, the water-cooled plate is clamped first, and then the battery module is clamped by rotating the flipping mechanism 1. During the clamping of the battery module, after the battery module abuts against the water-cooled plate, the battery module can continue to move upward to push the water-cooled plate to separate from the lifting end of the hook on its lower side, so as to provide space for the compression of the pressure component 23. Of course, the pressure component 23 can also be set on the clamping mechanism 2 on the battery cell module side, or the pressure component 23 can be set on both clamping mechanisms 2. It is only necessary to ensure that when the pressure component 23 applies pressure to the water cooling plate or the battery cell module, the water cooling plate or the battery cell module has space to move to the other side.

[0070] In this embodiment, the pressurizing component 23 further includes a reset member 232, which is disposed between the pressing member and the mounting rod 221. The reset member 232 is used to drive the pressing member to move closer to the mounting rod 221 so as to reset the pressing member.

[0071] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, by setting a reset member 232 between the pressing member and the mounting rod 221, after the pressing member loses the force of the biasing member 231, the reset member 232 can drive the pressing member to move closer to the mounting rod 221, so that the pressing member is separated from the water-cooled plate or the battery cell module.

[0072] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the pressing component includes a pressure plate 233 and a guide shaft 234, and the biasing component 231 includes a pressing airbag and an airbag fixing seat. The guide shaft 234 is slidably mounted on the mounting rod 221, the pressure plate 233 is fixedly mounted on the first end of the guide shaft 234, and a reset component 232 is sleeved between the second end of the guide shaft 234 and the mounting rod 221. The pressing airbag is mounted on the mounting rod 221 through the airbag fixing seat, the force-applying end of the pressing airbag abuts against the pressure plate 233, and the air inlet end of the pressing airbag is connected to an external air source. The reset component 232 can be a spring.

[0073] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the flipping mechanism 1 includes a flipping drive assembly 11 and a flipping frame 12. The flipping frame 12 is connected to the flipping drive assembly 11 and is driven by the flipping drive assembly 11 to rotate around the rotation axis. Two sets of clamping mechanisms 2 are connected to the flipping frame 12 and are located on opposite sides of the flipping frame 12.

[0074] Specifically, the flipping drive assembly 11 can be a motor and a motor control module, which can adopt existing technology. The flipping frame 12 is connected to the motor drive end and flipped by the force of the motor.

[0075] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the battery cell module assembly equipment also includes a straightening mechanism 3. The fixed end of the straightening mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the flipping frame 12, and the movable end of the straightening mechanism 3 is configured to straighten the position of the water cooling plate and the battery cell module between the two clamping mechanisms 2.

[0076] In this embodiment, as Figures 5 to 7As shown, the straightening mechanism 3 includes two sets of identical and oppositely arranged pushing mechanisms 31, forming a straightening space between the two sets of pushing mechanisms 31. The two ends of the pushing mechanisms 31 are slidably mounted on the tilting frame 12. A driving mechanism 32 is respectively arranged corresponding to the two sets of pushing mechanisms 31. Each driving mechanism 32 includes a mounting component 321, a driving component 322, several abutting components 323, and several pressing components 324. The two ends of the mounting component 321 are fixedly mounted on the tilting frame 12, and the fixed end of the driving component 322 is fixedly mounted on the mounting component 321. All the abutting components 323 are sequentially... The transmission connection is provided, and at least one abutting component 323 is connected to the driving end of the driving component 322. All the pressing components 324 are spaced apart on the pushing mechanism 31 and are arranged one-to-one with all the abutting components 323. Each pressing component 324 has an inclined pressing end, and each pressing end is abutted against a corresponding abutting component 323. When the driving component 322 drives the abutting component 323 to move, the abutting component 323 pushes the pressing component 324 to drive the pushing mechanism 31 to move, and makes the two sets of pushing mechanisms 31 move closer to each other to fix and straighten the water cooling plate and the battery cell module.

[0077] By setting two sets of pushing mechanisms 31 and corresponding drive structures for each of the two sets of pushing mechanisms 31, the two sets of pushing mechanisms 31 are identical in structure and arranged opposite to each other, and a regular space is formed between the two sets of pushing mechanisms 31. The regular space can accommodate water-cooled plates and battery cell modules. Thus, under the action of external force, when the two sets of pushing mechanisms 31 approach each other, they can simultaneously regularize the water-cooled plates and battery cell modules placed in the regular space, so that the water-cooled plates and battery cell modules can be aligned. When the two sets of pushing mechanisms 31 move away from each other, the water-cooled plates and battery cell modules placed in the regular space can be transported away. Each set of drive mechanisms 32 specifically includes a mounting component 321, a drive component 322, several abutment components 323, and several In this embodiment, the dry pressing component 324, mounting component 321, driving component 322, and pressing component 324 are respectively a mounting block, a driving cylinder, and a pressing block. The two ends of the mounting component 321 are fixedly mounted on the flipping frame 12, and the fixed end of the driving component 322 is set on the mounting component 321. All the abutting components 323 are sequentially connected, and at least one abutting component 323 is connected to the driving end of the driving component 322, so that all the abutting components 323 can move under the drive of the driving component 322. At the same time, all the pressing components 324 are spaced apart on the pushing mechanism 31. Each pressing component 324 has an inclined pressing end, and each pressing end is correspondingly abutted to a pressing component 323.

[0078] When the driving component 322 drives the abutting component 323 to move, the abutting component 323 can move along the pressing end and drive the pressing component 324 to move, and the pressing component 324 can drive the pushing mechanism 31 to move. This allows the two opposing pushing mechanisms 31 to move closer or further apart. When they move closer, they are neatly conveyed to the water-cooled plate and battery cell module in the straightening space. The driving component 322 drives all the abutting components 323 to move and drives all the pressing components 324 to drive the pushing mechanism 31 to move. This makes the moving distance of each abutting component 323 consistent, and the moving distance of the pressing component 324 driven by the abutting component 323 is also consistent. This makes the overall moving trajectory of the pushing mechanism 31 consistent, thus avoiding the situation where the overall moving trajectory of the pushing mechanism 31 is inconsistent. It also helps to improve the straightening effect of the straightening device on the water-cooled plate and battery cell module.

[0079] In this embodiment, the pushing mechanism 31 includes a pushing member 311, a contact member 312, and two sets of straightening components 313. The two ends of the pushing member 311 are slidably mounted on the flipping frame 12, and the contact member 312 is fixedly mounted on the side of the pushing member 311. A straightening space is formed between the two contact members 312 that are arranged opposite to each other in the two sets of pushing mechanisms 31. The fixed end of the straightening component 313 is mounted on the pushing member 311, and the two sets of straightening components 313 are respectively arranged on both sides of the contact member 312.

[0080] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, each pushing mechanism 31 includes a pushing member 311 and a contact member 312 connected to each other. In this embodiment, the pushing member 311 and the contact member 312 are a pushing block and an insulating pressure plate, respectively. The two ends of the pushing member 311 are slidably connected to the flipping frame 12, thereby realizing a sliding connection on the flipping frame 12. The contact member 312 is fixedly installed on the side of the pushing member 311, and a regular space is formed between the two contact members 312 arranged opposite to each other on the two sets of pushing mechanisms 31. When the two oppositely arranged pushing members 311 approach each other, the contact member 312 is driven by the pushing member 311 to contact the workpiece in the regular space, and the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module are regularized under the continuous pushing of the pushing member 311. Since the contact member 312 is an insulating pressure plate, the contact member 312 will not affect the performance of the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module. The push mechanism 31 also includes two straightening components 313. The fixed end of each straightening component 313 is installed on the push member 311. The two straightening components 313 are respectively arranged on both sides of the contact member 312. So when the push member 311 straightens the battery cell module through the contact member 312, the straightening component 313 can straighten the water cooling plate on the battery cell module and make the positions of the water cooling plate and the battery cell module correspond to each other.

[0081] In this embodiment, the straightening component 313 includes a base 3131, a straightening element 3132, and a buffer element 3133. The base 3131 is disposed on the pushing element 311, the straightening element 3132 is rotatably disposed on the base 3131, and the buffer element 3133 has a buffering elastic force and is disposed between the base 3131 and the straightening element 3132.

[0082] like Figure 10 As shown, the straightening component 313 includes a base 3131, a straightening element 3132, and a buffer element 3133. In this embodiment, the straightening element 3132 and the buffer element 3133 are a straightening roller and a buffer spring, respectively. The base 3131 is mounted on the pusher 311, and the straightening element 3132 is rotatably mounted on the base 3131. The buffer element 3133 has a buffering force and is positioned between the base 3131 and the straightening element 3132. Thus, when the two pushers 311 are straightening the battery cell module, the straightening element 3132 can abut against the side of the water-cooled plate, thereby straightening the water-cooled plate. Furthermore, because the straightening element 3132 and the base 3131... The connection between 31 is a rotatable connection and the workpiece moves within the regulated space. Thus, when the two sides of the water-cooled plate do not correspond to the positions of the regulated members 3132 on the two pushers 311, the regulated members 3132 can rotate relative to the base 3131 when they contact the sides of the water-cooled plate. This allows the two sides of the water-cooled plate to correspond to the positions of the regulated members 3132 on the two pushers 311. Then, the buffer spring force provided by the buffer member 3133 resets the regulated members 3132, thereby regulated the water-cooled plate and making the positions of the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module correspond to each other, thus completing the flexible regulated work of the water-cooled plate.

[0083] In this embodiment, the two buffers 3133 on any pusher 311 have different buffering forces, and the buffers 3133 on the same side of the two sets of pushers 311 have the same buffering force.

[0084] By setting the buffering elasticity of the two buffers 3133 on each pusher 311 to be different and the buffering elasticity of the buffers 3133 on the same side of the two sets of pushers 311 to be the same, this is because the workpiece is in a moving state in the alignment space. Therefore, the buffering elasticity of the buffers 3133 on the same side of the two sets of pushers 311 to be the same is to ensure that the forces on the two sides of the water-cooled plate are the same when the alignment member 3132 is aligning the water-cooled plate, which is beneficial to improving the alignment effect of the water-cooled plate. The buffering elasticity of the two buffers 3133 on each pusher 311 to be different is because the water-cooled plate has already been initially aligned by the alignment members 3132 on the same side of the two sets of pushers 311. Therefore, the remaining alignment member 3132 on the pusher 311 does not need a particularly large buffering elasticity to align the water-cooled plate, so as to avoid damaging the water-cooled plate.

[0085] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 As shown, each abutment component 323 includes a first guide rail 3231 and an abutment member 3232. In this embodiment, the abutment member 3232 is an abutment roller. The first guide rail 3231 is mounted on the mounting member 321, and the abutment member 3232 is slidably mounted on the first guide rail 3231. The abutment member 3232 abuts against the pressing end of the pressing member 324 on the pushing mechanism 31. In addition, among all the abutment components 323, the abutment member 3232 of one abutment component 323 is connected to the driving end of the driving member 322. Under the drive of the driving member 322, the abutment member 3232 can slide on the first guide rail 3231 and move along the pressing end of the pressing member 324, thereby driving the pressing member 324 to move. In turn, the pressing member 324 drives the pushing mechanism 31 to move, so that the two opposing pushing mechanisms 31 can move closer or further away from each other. The abutment component 323 also includes several connectors 3233, which are connecting rods in this embodiment. Each connector 3233 is disposed between two adjacent abutment components 3232, and each end of each connector 3233 is connected to an abutment component 3232. Thus, when the driving component 322 drives the abutment component 3232 connected to it to move, the connector 3233 can drive all the abutment components 3232 to move synchronously, thereby enabling all the pressing components 324 to move simultaneously, so that the overall movement trajectory of the pushing mechanism 31 remains consistent.

[0086] In this embodiment, as Figure 8As shown, a number of reset mechanisms 33 are provided on the flipping frame 12. The reset mechanism 33 has a reset spring force, and each push mechanism 31 has a corresponding reset mechanism 33 connected to both ends. Thus, after the two sets of opposite push mechanisms 31 approach each other and the workpieces in the space are rectified, the reset mechanism 33 can drive the two sets of opposite push mechanisms 31 to move away from each other through the reset spring force, thereby resetting the opposite push mechanisms 31 to rectify the next batch of workpieces.

[0087] The reset mechanism 33 includes a reset component 331, which has a reset spring force and is disposed between the flipping frame 12 and the pushing mechanism 31.

[0088] In this embodiment, each mounting component 321 is provided with two detection components 34. The two detection components 34 are respectively located at both ends of the mounting component 321, and the detection components 34 on the two mounting components 321 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. Thus, when the workpiece enters the regularization space, the detection component 34 can detect the workpiece, thereby enabling the pushing mechanism 31 to regularize the workpiece.

[0089] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the battery cell module assembly equipment also includes a material conveying device. The clamping mechanism 2 is located on the conveying track of the material conveying device. The material conveying device is configured to convey the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module to the loading station. The material conveying device is also configured to convey the water-cooled plate and the battery cell module assembled under pressure by the pressurizing component 23 to the next station.

[0090] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the material conveying device includes a feeding mechanism 4, which includes a conveying component 42 and a positioning conveying assembly 43. The conveying component 42 is adapted to carry water-cooled plates and battery cell modules. The positioning conveying assembly 43 includes a guide component 431, a power component 432, and a fixing component 433. The guide component 431 is arranged along the conveying direction of the conveying component 42, and the fixing component 433 is slidably arranged with the guide component 431. The power component 432 is connected to the fixing component 433 by transmission. The fixing component 433 is adapted to fix or loosen the water-cooled plate or battery cell module, and the fixing component 433 is driven by the power component 432 to drive the water-cooled plate or battery cell module to move along the conveying direction on the conveying component 42.

[0091] When transporting the component to be conveyed, the water-cooled plate or battery cell module is placed on the conveyor 42, specifically at the front end of the component. The water-cooled plate or battery cell module is then secured by a fixing member 433 at the front end of the component. A power member 432 drives the fixing member 433 to move along the guide member 431 towards the rear end of the conveyor 42 until the water-cooled plate or battery cell module is transported to the designated position. Once this is achieved, the fixing member 433 releases the water-cooled plate or battery cell module. By using the fixing member 433 to secure the water-cooled plate or battery cell module and drive the movement of the component to be conveyed, slippage between the water-cooled plate or battery cell module and the conveyor 42 can be avoided when the water-cooled plate or battery cell module is heavy. This prevents slow start-up of the conveying process and failure to stop promptly after reaching the designated position, thus reducing the conveying efficiency and accuracy of the conveying device.

[0092] In this embodiment, the material conveying device further includes a lifting mechanism, which is disposed at the end of the conveying member 42. The lifting mechanism is configured to receive the water-cooled plate or battery cell module conveyed by the positioning conveying component 43 and drive the water-cooled plate or battery cell module to the loading station. The lifting mechanism is also configured to receive the assembled water-cooled plate and battery cell module for the positioning conveying component 43 to receive.

[0093] Specifically, such as Figure 14 As shown, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting drive (not shown in the figure), a lifting plate 44, and a second positioning member 45. The second positioning member 45 is fixedly installed on the lifting plate 44. The support plate at the bottom of the water-cooled plate or the battery cell module has a second positioning hole. The second positioning member 45 cooperates with the second positioning hole to limit the water-cooled plate or the battery cell module. The driving end of the lifting drive is connected to the lifting plate 44. The lifting drive is configured to drive the lifting plate 44 and the water-cooled plate or the battery cell module after being limited to rise and fall.

[0094] By providing a second positioning element 45 on the lifting plate 44, after the water-cooled plate or battery cell module is placed onto the lifting plate 44, the second positioning element 45 is inserted into the second positioning hole to limit the water-cooled plate or battery cell module, ensuring that the water-cooled plate or battery cell module enters the next process in the correct posture. Optionally, the second positioning element 45 can be a positioning pin or other positioning element; the lifting plate 44 achieves lifting through the cooperation between the motor and the transmission chain, or the lifting drive component can be a cylinder or other drive device.

[0095] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism also includes multiple sets of casters, which are mounted on the lifting plate 44 along the transmission direction to facilitate the movement of the water-cooled plate or the battery cell module on the lifting plate 44.

[0096] In this embodiment, the positioning and conveying components 43 and the conveying components 42 are matched and installed at opposite ends of the water-cooled plate or battery cell module. The two sets of positioning and conveying components 43 and the conveying components 42 work together to convey the same water-cooled plate or battery cell module. For example, the conveying component 42 on the right is used to convey the water-cooled plate or battery cell module towards the lifting mechanism. After the lifting mechanism delivers the water-cooled plate or battery cell module to the processing station for processing, the conveying component 42 on the left is used to send the processed water-cooled plate and battery cell module out of the lifting mechanism.

[0097] In other embodiments, the base frame 41, the conveyor 42 and the positioning conveying assembly 43 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lifting mechanism. The conveyor 42 on both sides cooperates with the corresponding positioning conveying assembly 43 to convey the material to be conveyed to the lifting mechanism. Optionally, the material to be conveyed by the conveyor 42 on both sides can be different materials.

[0098] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
