[0028] Example:

[0029] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a battery cell support mechanism, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes a base plate 1 and a frame 2. The frame 2 is inserted into the base plate 1 via a mating connection assembly 3. The mating connection assembly 3 includes an insertion hole 11 on the base plate 1 and an elastic buckle 21 on the frame 2 that is mated and connected to the insertion hole 11. The elastic buckle 21 includes a locking block 211 and a first elastic connector 212. The locking block 211 is movably connected to the frame 2, and the first elastic connector 212 is connected to both the frame 2 and the locking block 211. When the frame 2 is inserted into the insertion hole 11, the elastic buckle 21 is located inside the insertion hole 11, and the first elastic connector 212 elastically supports the locking block 211 against the wall of the insertion hole 11.

[0030] In use, the battery cell carrying mechanism described in this application includes the base plate 1 and the frame 2. The frame 2 is inserted into the socket 11 and fixedly connected to the base plate 1 by the mating connection component 3. When the frame 2 is inserted into the socket 11, the mating connection component 3 elastically supports the buckle in the slot through the first elastic connector 212. During use, when the battery cell carrying mechanism is subjected to force, the frame 2 shakes, causing a force to be generated between the buckle 211 and the socket 11. The first elastic connector 212 buffers and relieves the force through deformation, improving the overall stability of the battery cell carrying mechanism, avoiding excessive shaking of the battery cell carrying mechanism and preventing damage to the battery cell, improving the transmission efficiency of the battery cell, improving the product yield, and reducing the production cost of the product.

[0031] The frame 2 includes a top plate 22 arranged horizontally and a support column 23 vertically arranged on the bottom surface of the top plate 22. An elastic buckle 21 is provided on the support column 23, and the insertion holes 11 correspond one-to-one with the support column 23. The elastic buckle 21 is located at the bottom of the support column 23. When the support column 23 is inserted into the insertion hole 11, the buckle 211 abuts against the wall of the insertion hole 11, and the support column 23 passes through the insertion hole 11 and protrudes from the bottom surface of the bottom plate 1. The buckle 211 abuts against the wall of the insertion hole 11, creating an elastic contact between the support column 23 and the insertion hole 11. When the frame 2 is subjected to force and shakes, the elastic buckle 21 buffers and unloads the force, preventing the frame 2 from shaking and improving the overall stability of the battery cell support mechanism. The elastic buckle 21 is set to correspond with the slot to prevent the buckle 211 from moving to the bottom surface of the base plate 1 and causing the buckle 211 to jam with the base, thus ensuring that the frame can be removed from the base plate 1.

[0032] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the support column 23 is a hollow column; an installation hole 231 is provided on the area of ​​the support column 23 corresponding to the elastic buckle 21, and the locking block 211 is correspondingly provided with the installation hole 231. The first elastic connector 212 is provided in the hollow cavity of the support column 23, with one end connected to the support column 23 and the other end connected to the inner wall of the support column 23; when the frame 2 is installed on the base plate 1, the locking block 211 is at least partially protruding from the installation hole 231. The locking block 211 is at least partially protruding from the installation hole 231 to provide displacement space for the locking block 211 and facilitate the buffering of the force by the elastic buckle 21.

[0033] The locking block 211 is generally wedge-shaped, with the end of the locking block 211 with a larger cross-sectional area facing the top plate 22, and the inclined surface of the locking block 211 facing inward. In use, when the support column 23 is inserted into the socket 11, the shape of the locking block 211 improves the smoothness of insertion into the socket 11, facilitating operation. In other embodiments, the locking block 211 may also be other shapes, such as a trapezoid. It should be noted that the "inward direction" mentioned in this application refers to the direction close to the center of the area enclosed by the support column 23.

[0034] Optionally, the location of the locking block 211 is optional, and the locking block 211 can be arranged around the axial direction of the support column 23. For example, in some embodiments, the locking block 211 is located on the inner side of the support column 23; the arrangement of the locking block 211 reduces the risk of accidental contact with the locking block 211 during the transfer of the frame 2 after it is removed from the base plate 1, thus avoiding damage to the unlocking component 5.

[0035] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the top of the frame 2 is provided with a handle 4, which facilitates the removal and placement of the frame 2 from the base plate 1; in use, the frame 2 is removed from the base plate 1 by operating the handle 4. The handle 4 includes a first side plate 41 vertically disposed on the top plate 22 in the vertical direction and a second side plate 42 horizontally connected to the first side plate 41.

[0036] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the battery cell carrying mechanism further includes an unlocking component 5, which is used to remove the frame 2 from the base plate 1. The unlocking component 5 includes a driving member 51 and a traction rope 52 driven by the driving member 51. The driving member 51 includes a handle 511 and a second elastic connector 512 connected to the handle 511. The handle 511 is connected to the handle 4 through the second elastic connector 512. The second elastic connector 512 is arranged vertically, and its two ends are respectively connected to the handle 511 and the handle 4. The traction rope 52 passes through the hollow cavity of the support column 23. One end of the traction rope 52 is connected to the locking block 211, and the other end is connected to the handle 511. The traction rope 52 and the elastic locking block 211 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. In use, pulling the handle 511 moves it vertically towards the top plate 22. Simultaneously, the second elastic connector 512 extends under pressure, causing the traction rope 52 connected to the handle 511 to move the locking block 211 towards the inner wall of the support column 23. At the same time, the first elastic connector 212 contracts under pressure, causing the locking block 211 to move away from the inner wall of the insertion hole 11. Then, the support column 23 is removed from the insertion hole 11. Through a simple mechanical structure, the frame 2 can be quickly removed. After the frame 2 detaches from the base plate 1, the second elastic connector 512 and the first elastic connector 212 return to their original positions. Optionally, the handle 511 can be a hollow rod or a column. Optionally, the first elastic connector 212 in this application is a compression spring.

[0037] The inner side of the support column 23 is provided with positioning protrusions 232 evenly distributed along its axial direction. The positioning protrusions 232 on each support column 23 are aligned horizontally, forming gaps 233 between them for placing battery cells. In use, the battery cells are inserted into the gaps 233, so that the battery cells are arranged vertically and stored in the battery cell carrying mechanism. It is understood that the positioning protrusions 232 allow the battery cells to be smoothly inserted into the receiving space for positioning or removed from the receiving space for unloading. The number of positioning protrusions 232 can be set according to actual needs; this application does not specifically limit the number of positioning protrusions 232. See also... Figure 6 As shown, there are four support pillars 23 arranged in a rectangular array, and four insertion holes 11. Correspondingly, there are also four traction lines.

[0038] See Figure 5 As shown, in further embodiments, to ensure that the base plate 1 can stably support the frame 2 and further improve the overall stability of the battery cell bearing mechanism, a positioning pin 12 is provided on the bottom surface of the base plate 1, and the positioning pin 12 is vertically disposed on the bottom surface of the base plate 1; when the support column 23 is inserted into the insertion hole 11, the bottom end of the positioning pin 12 is flush with the bottom end of the support column 23. The number of positioning pins 12 and their placement on the base plate 1 are optional; for example, in some embodiments, for the sake of stability and production cost considerations, the positioning pins 12 are disposed within the area enclosed by the insertion hole 11, and the number of positioning pins 12 can be two.

[0039] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a battery cell transport device, which includes the battery cell carrying mechanism described above.

[0040] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0041] The above embodiments merely illustrate preferred implementations of this application, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application.
