Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of energy storage, and more specifically, to a flexible load-bearing clamp. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of energy storage module manufacturing, semi-finished products require stable support and precise transfer via fixtures during assembly, which places high demands on the versatility and reliability of the fixture system. Traditional fixtures typically employ a fixed structural design, with their positioning references and clamping ranges customized for specific module specifications, making it difficult to adapt to the production needs of products of different sizes. When switching product models on the production line, it is often necessary to completely disassemble and replace the fixtures or implement complex mechanical adjustments. This not only makes the changeover process cumbersome and time-consuming but also easily leads to a deterioration in positioning accuracy due to repeated disassembly and assembly, severely restricting the ability to produce mixed-specification products on the same line.

[0003] While current flexible clamps on the market can achieve size adaptation within a limited range, they can only support small-sized products. For large-sized products such as energy storage modules, simply increasing the size of existing flexible clamps would lead to increased costs, weak rigid support, and easy misalignment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a flexible load-bearing clamp that can match products of different sizes, and provides stable support, accurate positioning, and low manufacturing cost.

[0005] A flexible bearing clamp includes a base plate, a bearing seat disposed on the base plate, and four flexible clamps. The four flexible clamps are respectively installed at the four corners of the bearing seat. Each flexible clamp includes a mounting seat connected to the base plate and a plurality of elastic telescopic columns disposed on the upper surface of the mounting seat. The plurality of elastic telescopic columns are arranged in an array, and each elastic telescopic column is configured to extend and retract along its own axis when compressed.

[0006] In the above technical solution, the support base provides stable rigid support for the product body, enabling the fixture to support large-sized products. Flexible clamps are located at the four corners of the support base. When a product is placed on the support base, the elastic telescopic column array of the flexible clamps automatically adapts to the four corners of the product. Specifically, some elastic telescopic columns are compressed under pressure at the corners of the product, while the uncompressed elastic telescopic columns maintain their original height, thus limiting the corners of the product. The four flexible clamps work together to effectively position the product circumferentially, maintaining the stability and reliability of the product during transport. Furthermore, the elastic telescopic column array can adapt to products of different sizes, overcoming the limitation of traditional fixed clamps in terms of size, allowing the same clamp to stably support products of different specifications.

[0007] Furthermore, the base plate is provided with two mounting grooves extending along a first direction, and each mounting groove has multiple sets of first mounting holes arranged along the first direction. The mounting base can be selectively connected to one set of the first mounting holes.

[0008] In the above technical solution, the multiple sets of first mounting holes distributed along the mounting groove allow the installation position of the flexible clamp to be adjusted according to the product size, thereby further expanding the size adaptation range.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting base is provided with an oblong hole corresponding to the first mounting hole. The length direction of the oblong hole is consistent with the extension direction of the mounting groove. The mounting base is detachably connected to the base plate through a connector passing through the oblong hole.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the extension direction of the waist-shaped hole is consistent with that of the mounting groove. With the help of the connecting piece, the relative position of the mounting seat in the mounting groove can be finely adjusted, thereby adjusting the assembly error.

[0011] Furthermore, each of the mounting slots is provided with a second mounting hole, and the two ends of the support in the second direction are respectively connected to the second mounting holes of the two mounting slots, so that the support spans between the two mounting slots.

[0012] In the above technical solution, the support can be connected to the base plate through the second mounting hole, which facilitates installation and allows for easy adjustment of the position and size of the support.

[0013] Furthermore, the width of the mounting groove is equal to the width of the mounting base.

[0014] In the above technical solution, the width of the mounting groove and the mounting base are equal, which can limit the mounting base and ensure the accuracy of installation, while simplifying the alignment operation process during assembly.

[0015] Furthermore, a plurality of guide rollers are provided on both sides of the base plate in the first direction.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the guide rollers set along both sides of the base plate can reduce the frictional resistance of the transfer, while preventing the fixture from tipping over and ensuring the stable and smooth transfer of the fixture.

[0017] Furthermore, guide wheels are provided at each of the four corners of the base plate.

[0018] In the above technical solution, the guide wheel can reduce the frictional resistance during transfer and maintain the stability of the fixture movement.

[0019] Furthermore, the upper surface of the support is provided with a flexible buffer layer.

[0020] In the above technical solution, the flexible buffer layer can cushion the product, reduce the impact force when the product is placed, and protect the product.

[0021] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the support base can form a stable rigid support for the main body of the product, enabling the fixture to support large-sized products. Flexible clamps are provided at the four corners of the support base. When the product is placed on the support base, the elastic telescopic column array of the flexible clamps can automatically adapt to the four corners of the product. Specifically, some elastic telescopic columns are compressed under the pressure of the product corners, while the other uncompressed elastic telescopic columns maintain their original height, thereby limiting the corners of the product. The four flexible clamps work together to effectively position the product circumferentially, maintaining the stability and reliability of the product during the transfer process. Furthermore, the elastic telescopic column array can adapt to products of different sizes, overcoming the limitation of the single size of traditional fixed clamps, allowing the same clamp to stably support products of different specifications.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0029] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 In a preferred embodiment, the flexible bearing fixture of this utility model mainly includes a base plate 1, a bearing seat 2, and four flexible clamps 3. The bearing seat 2 is disposed on the base plate 1, and the four flexible clamps 3 are respectively installed at the four corners of the bearing seat 2. Each flexible clamp 3 includes a mounting base 31 connected to the base plate 1, and multiple elastic telescopic columns 32 disposed on the upper surface of the mounting base 31. The multiple elastic telescopic columns 32 are arranged in an array, and each elastic telescopic column 32 is configured to extend and retract along its own axial direction when compressed.

[0031] For example, the base plate 1 is generally rectangular, the support seat 2 is located near the center of the base plate 1, and four flexible clamps 3 are respectively located at the four corners of the support seat 2. The support seat 2 has a supporting surface, the upper surfaces of the four flexible clamps 3 are flush with the supporting surface, and the elastic telescopic columns 32 extend vertically upward from the upper surfaces of the flexible clamps 3. It should be noted that existing flexible clamps 3 can be used, and their specific structures will not be described in detail here.

[0032] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the support base 2 can provide stable rigid support for the main body of the product, enabling the fixture to support large-sized products. Flexible clamps 3 are provided at the four corners of the support base 2. When the product is placed on the support base 2, the array of elastic telescopic columns 32 of the flexible clamps 3 can automatically adapt to the four corners of the product. Specifically, some of the elastic telescopic columns 32 are compressed under the pressure of the product corners, while the other uncompressed elastic telescopic columns 32 maintain their original height, thus limiting the corners of the product. The four flexible clamps 3 work together to effectively position the product circumferentially, maintaining the stability and reliability of the product during the transfer process. Furthermore, the array of elastic telescopic columns 32 can adapt to products of different sizes, overcoming the limitation of the single size of traditional fixed clamps, allowing the same clamp to stably support products of different specifications.

[0033] In this embodiment, the base plate 1 has two mounting grooves 11 extending along the first direction X. Each mounting groove 11 has multiple sets of first mounting holes 12 arranged along the first direction X. The mounting base 31 can be selectively connected to one set of first mounting holes 12. For example, the first mounting holes 12 can be arranged in groups of four, forming a rectangular array. The multiple sets of first mounting holes 12 are staggered along the extension direction of the mounting groove 11. The mounting base 31 can select one set of first mounting holes 12 to connect to the base plate 1. The multiple sets of first mounting holes 12 distributed along the mounting groove 11 allow the installation position of the flexible clamp 3 to be adjusted according to the product size, thereby further expanding the size adaptation range.

[0034] In this embodiment, the mounting base 31 is provided with an oblong hole 311 corresponding to the first mounting hole 12. The length direction of the oblong hole 311 is consistent with the extension direction of the mounting groove 11. The mounting base 31 is detachably connected to the base plate 1 through a connector passing through the oblong hole 311. For example, the mounting base 31 is provided with extension portions on both sides of the second direction Y. Each extension portion is provided with two oblong holes 311. The oblong holes 311 are consistent with the extension direction of the mounting groove 11. With the help of the connector, the relative position of the mounting base 31 in the mounting groove 11 can be finely adjusted, thereby adjusting the assembly error.

[0035] In this embodiment, each mounting slot 11 is provided with a second mounting hole 13. The two ends of the bearing seat 2 in the second direction Y are respectively connected to the second mounting holes 13 of the two mounting slots 11, so that the bearing seat 2 spans between the two mounting slots 11. For example, the second mounting hole 13 is provided near the axis of the mounting slot 11. The second mounting hole 13 can be a threaded hole. The bearing seat 2 can be detachably connected to the base plate 1 by screws, which can facilitate installation and also facilitate adjustment of the position and size of the bearing seat 2.

[0036] The width of the mounting slot 11 is equal to the width of the mounting base 31. The equal width of the mounting slot 11 and the mounting base 31 can limit the positioning of the mounting base 31, ensure the accuracy of installation, and simplify the alignment operation process during assembly.

[0037] Several guide rollers 4 are provided on both sides of the base plate 1 in the first direction X. In this embodiment, there are four guide rollers 4, with two guide rollers 4 provided on each side of the base plate 1, and the axial direction of the guide rollers 4 is parallel to the vertical direction. By providing guide rollers 4 along both sides of the base plate 1, the transfer friction resistance can be reduced, while preventing the fixture from tipping over and ensuring stable and smooth transfer of the fixture.

[0038] Guide wheels 5 are provided at each of the four corners of the base plate 1. For example, the axial direction of the guide wheels 5 is parallel to the vertical direction, and the outer peripheral surface of the guide wheels 5 extends beyond the edge of the base plate 1. By providing guide wheels 5, the frictional resistance during transfer can be reduced, and the stability of the fixture movement can be maintained.

[0039] The upper surface of the support 2 is provided with a flexible buffer layer 21. Understandably, the flexible buffer layer 21 can be made of existing flexible materials, such as rubber or silicone. The flexible buffer layer 21 can cushion the product, reducing the impact force when the product is placed, thus protecting the product.
