Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of handling and turnover devices, and in particular to a battery module turnover device that is easy to handle and quick to assemble. Background Technology
[0002] Due to their complex structure and heavy weight (over 350kg per unit), battery modules place higher demands on the load-bearing capacity and flexibility of supporting equipment during handling and storage. Existing wooden pallets are generally unable to meet stacking requirements, hindering space utilization. Furthermore, the handling methods offered by turnover devices are relatively limited, restricting application scenarios and thus having significant limitations.
[0003] In summary, there is a need for a battery module turnover device that is easy to transport and quickly assembled to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

The first, second, third, and fourth columns are all connected to the crossbeam assembly. The crossbeam assembly is provided with several brackets for supporting battery modules. The bottom of each of the first, second, third, and fourth columns is provided with support feet, which are trapezoidal support structures used to engage with locking heads. The top of each of the first, second, third, and fourth columns is provided with locking heads, which are used to engage with the support feet when multiple turnover devices are stacked. The design of the support feet and locking heads enhances the stacking stability of the turnover device. The overall open structure design supports both forklift and lifting lug handling methods, making it relatively versatile and improving space utilization during storage and transportation. It is suitable for the handling and storage of battery modules and can also be used for simulated testing of battery clusters after production, demonstrating strong practicality.

[0020] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more detailed description is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that when an element is described as "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element, or one or more intermediate elements may exist between them. When an element is described as "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element, or one or more intermediate elements may exist between them. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this specification are for illustrative purposes only.
[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, a battery module turnover device that is easy to transport and quickly assembled includes a first column 1, a second column 2, a third column 3, a fourth column 4, and a crossbeam assembly 5. The first column 1, the second column 2, the third column 3, and the fourth column 4 are all connected to the crossbeam assembly 5. The crossbeam assembly 5 is provided with several brackets 6, which are used to support the battery modules. The bottom of the first column 1, the second column 2, the third column 3, and the fourth column 4 are all provided with support feet 11, and the top of the first column 1, the second column 2, the third column 3, and the fourth column 4 are all provided with clips 12, which are used to engage with the support feet 11 when multiple turnover devices are stacked.
[0023] In one implementation, the support foot 11 is a trapezoidal support structure, and the clip head 12 is a trapezoidal clip head structure for fitting and engaging the support foot 11. This allows multiple battery module turnover devices with the same structure to be stacked and fixed to the clip head 12 of the lower device by the support foot 11 of the upper device, thus saving space when stacked.
[0024] In one embodiment, a reinforcing rod 7 is provided between the third column 3 and the fourth column 4, and the bottom wall of the reinforcing rod 7 is connected to the bracket 6.
[0025] In one implementation, there are three brackets 6, and an open forklift opening is formed between the three brackets 6 for forklift handling. The open forklift opening makes it very convenient to handle the battery module. Furthermore, the battery module turnover device has an overall open structure design, which also enables it to be handled with lifting lugs.
[0026] As one implementation method, such as Figure 2 As shown, the crossbeam assembly 5 includes a first crossbeam 51, a second crossbeam 52, a third crossbeam 53, and a fourth crossbeam 54. The first crossbeam 51 and the second crossbeam 52 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the bracket 6, and the third crossbeam 53 and the fourth crossbeam 54 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the bracket 6 and connected to the bottom wall of the bracket 6.
[0027] In one embodiment, the first crossbeam 51 and the second crossbeam 52 are long crossbeams, and the third crossbeam 53 and the fourth crossbeam 54 are short crossbeams. The front and rear ends of the first crossbeam 51 are used to connect the first column 1 and the third column 3, the front and rear ends of the second crossbeam 52 are used to connect the second column 2 and the fourth column 4, the third crossbeam 53 is used to connect the first column 1 and the second column 2, and the fourth crossbeam 54 is used to connect the third column 3 and the fourth column 4.
[0028] As one implementation method, the first column 1, the second column 2, the third column 3, and the fourth column 4 are all hollow structures. A hydraulic cylinder is installed inside the column 1, and the top output end of the hydraulic cylinder passes through to the outside of the top of the column 1 and is connected to the clamp head 12. By installing a hydraulic cylinder inside the column, the applicability to different sizes of battery modules can be improved, making it flexible and versatile with relatively strong practicality.
[0029] In one embodiment, the top wall of the bracket 6 is provided with a spacer 61 for contacting the bonding surface of the battery module.
[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During use, the open forklift opening formed between the three brackets 6 facilitates flexible forklift handling. Furthermore, the overall open structure design of the battery module turnover device allows for handling with lifting lugs (which are located on the battery module itself). This supports both forklift and lifting lug handling methods simultaneously, making it suitable for battery module handling and storage, as well as for simulated testing of battery clusters after production. The design of the support legs 11 and the clamps 12 enhances the stacking stability of the turnover device. Specifically, the support legs 11 of the upper device are secured to the clamps 12 of the lower device, allowing for space-saving stacking and improving space utilization during storage and transportation (see reference).
