[0002] The side beam of a battery box is usually processed from an aluminum plate. Considering the size of the battery and the stability and strength of the battery box, the length of the side beam of the box should not be too short, which means that the length of the aluminum plate should also not be too short. Therefore, before processing the aluminum plate into a side beam, the length of the aluminum plate is usually measured, and the too short aluminum plates that do not meet the processing requirements are selected from a plurality of aluminum plates. At present, the technician will carry each aluminum plate to the workbench, and regardless of the length difference between the aluminum plates, the length of each aluminum plate needs to be measured with a ruler. This method is time-consuming and laborious, and the efficiency is low. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0037] Typically, the raw material aluminum plate for the battery box side beams has a "U" shaped structure. This embodiment of the invention provides a length inspection fixture for the aluminum plate used in processing the aforementioned battery box side beams. Please refer to... Figs. 1-3 It includes a transmission unit and a positioning unit.

[0038] Specifically,

[0039] The transmission unit is divided into a first transmission component 10 and a second transmission component 11. The first transmission component 10 and the second transmission component 11 have the same transmission direction and are spaced apart along their transmission direction. Each transmission component includes a roller group 101 and a conveyor belt 100. The roller group 101 includes a driving roller and a driven roller. The driving roller is externally connected to a drive device 102, and multiple driven rollers are provided. The rollers of the roller group 101 are spaced apart. The conveyor belt 100 surrounds the roller group 101. The transmission unit is provided with a support frame 12, which is arranged on both sides of the roller group 101. Each roller is rotatably mounted between the two support frames 12, and the conveyor belt 100 of each transmission component is tensioned by its corresponding roller group 101. In addition, the top surface of the support frame is provided with an insertion groove.

[0040] Multiple aluminum plates 3 are placed at the loading end of the first transmission assembly 10 and are transported by the first transmission assembly 10 towards the second transmission assembly 11. A partition 13 is provided at the discharge end of the first transmission assembly. The partition 13 spans the transmission unit and is detachably installed on the support frame 12. Preferably, the bottom end of the partition has a protrusion with a matching insertion slot, so that the partition 13 can be inserted into the top of the support frame. The outer wall of the partition has a first buffer layer 130, which can reduce the damage to the aluminum plates 3 when they are transported and come into contact with the first buffer layer 130.

[0041] The second transmission component 11 is divided into an inspection area and a sorting area. The inspection area is used for length comparison among multiple aluminum plates 3, and the sorting area is used for picking out the aluminum plates 3. The sorting area is located near the discharge end of the second transmission component.

[0042] The inspection area is equipped with a positioning unit, which includes a positioning plate 20 and a comparison component.

[0043] Positioning plates 20 are located on both sides of the second transmission assembly 11, with the distance between the two positioning plates 20 being greater than the conventional length of the aluminum plate. The two positioning plates 20 are mounted on the top surface of the support frame. A corner groove 200 for matching the aluminum plate 3 is provided on the side of one positioning plate 20 facing the other, allowing one end of the aluminum plate 3 to be inserted into the corner groove 200, while the other end of the aluminum plate 3 extends perpendicularly to the transmission direction of the transmission unit towards the other positioning plate 20. The corner groove 200 is provided with a second buffer layer 201 to reduce wear on the aluminum plate 3.

[0044] The comparison assembly includes a comparison plate 23, a mounting base 22, and a cylinder 21. The comparison plate 23 is positioned between two positioning plates 20. The cylinder 21 is mounted on the support frame 12 on the side facing away from the transmission unit via the mounting base 22. The movable end of the cylinder 21 passes through another positioning plate 20 and is connected to the comparison plate 23. The cylinder 21 drives the comparison plate 23 to move closer to or further away from the positioning plate with the corner groove 200 along a direction perpendicular to the transmission direction of the conveyor belt. The length of the comparison plate is matched to the length of the positioning plate with the corner groove 200, and the length of the comparison plate 23 is equal to or slightly greater than the length of the positioning plate 20.

[0045] When multiple aluminum plates 3 are placed sequentially in the inspection area with one end of each plate engaged in the corner slot 200, cylinder 21 is activated, driving comparison plate 23 to move towards the positioning plate with the corner slot 200 until it contacts the longest aluminum plate. At this point, technicians measure the length of the longest aluminum plate engaged in the corner slot 200 and the distance between comparison plate 23 and the shortest aluminum plate to determine whether the short aluminum plate is too short and does not meet the subsequent edge beam processing length requirements. After the length comparison of each aluminum plate is completed, the drive end of cylinder 21 retracts, driving comparison plate 23 to move away from the positioning plate with the corner slot 200.

[0046] Based on the above embodiments, the working principle of this application is as follows:

[0047] The first transfer assembly 10 transfers multiple aluminum plates 3 to one side of the partition 13. The aluminum plates 3 are then manually placed sequentially in the inspection area. The cylinder 21 is activated, driving the comparison plate 23 to contact the longest aluminum plate among the plates. For aluminum plates with small length differences, no measurement is needed; only the length of the longest aluminum plate and the distance between the comparison plate 23 and each shorter aluminum plate are measured to identify excessively short plates that do not meet the length requirements for subsequent edge beam processing. After the length comparison of all aluminum plates is completed, the drive end of the cylinder 21 retracts. The drive device 102 of the second transfer assembly 11 is activated to drive the second transfer assembly 11 to transfer each aluminum plate to the sorting area, where the short aluminum plates are picked out. The remaining aluminum plates are transported to subsequent processes for further processing.

[0048] Based on the above embodiments, the advantages of this application are:

[0049] The coordinated transmission of the first transmission component 10 and the second transmission component 11 reduces the workload of handling the aluminum plate 3; and the precise length comparison of multiple aluminum plates after they are positioned in the inspection area allows for the selection of shorter aluminum plates with a significant length difference from the longest aluminum plate for measurement, eliminating the need to measure each aluminum plate individually and improving efficiency.
