[0002] The requirements for round battery cells in new energy vehicle components are high. During the production, transportation and handling process, the cells must not have scratches, oil stains, dirt, or small particles attached. The round battery cell parts are small in size and cannot be placed randomly. It is necessary to prevent them from touching the nickel plating layer on the product surface. Therefore, special battery cell trays are currently used.

[0003] Currently, common cylindrical battery cell models include 32650, 26650, and 18650, which refer to cylindrical battery cells with diameters of 32mm, 26mm, and 18mm and a length of 65mm. The most commonly used battery cell models have the same length but different diameters, resulting in different cell capacities. The number and position of each model of battery cell in the tray are different, and each model of battery cell requires a separate tray design, which is costly. Therefore, it is necessary to design a battery cell tray that can accommodate different models of battery cells. Utility Model Content

[0012] 1. The present application can accommodate different specifications and sizes of battery cells by replacing or adding support frames, which can reduce design and mold costs and facilitate use. By gradually reducing the size of the fixed grid from top to bottom in the inner support frame, the battery cell can be prevented from falling into the fixed grid of the lower support frame, ensuring stable support of the battery cell.
