Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery manufacturing technology, and in particular to a restraint tray. Background Technology
[0002] In battery manufacturing, to facilitate the processing of multiple different steps, restraint trays are typically used for batch transfer of batteries. These trays apply restraining forces to keep the batteries within their confines. In related technologies, the restraint tray has multiple restraint components, and the batteries are usually placed between restraint partitions of adjacent restraint components.
[0003] However, the compatibility and versatility of restraint trays are poor. When it is necessary to process batteries of different sizes in batches, different restraint trays or restraint separators of different sizes need to be replaced, which increases production costs and reduces production efficiency. In addition, due to the restraining force of the restraint tray, the restraint effect of the restraint tray on the battery may deteriorate during the use of the restraint tray. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above problems, this utility model provides a restraint tray that can be used with batteries of different sizes, improving the compatibility and versatility of the restraint tray, which is conducive to reducing production costs and improving production efficiency. Moreover, during the use of the restraint tray, the restraint tray can maintain a good restraint effect on the battery.
[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a restraint tray, comprising: a tray body; and a plurality of restraint components disposed on the tray body and arranged along a first direction. Each restraint component includes a restraint partition, the restraint partition including a main frame, a first restraint plate, and a second restraint plate. The first restraint plate and the second restraint plate are both disposed on the main frame and arranged opposite to each other along the first direction. A restraint space is defined between the first restraint plate and the second restraint plate in an adjacent restraint component. The distance between the first restraint plate and the second restraint plate in the first direction is adjustable.
[0006] In the above technical solution, by making the distance between the first restraint plate and the second restraint plate of the restraint partition adjustable in the first direction, the size of the restraint space between the first restraint plate and the second restraint plate of the adjacent restraint component can be flexibly adjusted so that the size of the restraint space can be adapted to objects of different sizes. This allows the restraint tray to be applicable to objects of different sizes (such as batteries), improving the compatibility and versatility of the restraint tray. In the production process, this can effectively reduce the purchase cost of additional restraint trays or restraint partitions due to changes in the size of the produced objects, while reducing the time wasted caused by frequent changes in restraint trays or restraint partitions, thereby helping to reduce production costs and improve production efficiency.
[0007] Furthermore, during the production process, if the restraining force of the restraining tray causes the tray partition to deform to a certain extent, resulting in a change in the size of the space between the restraining partitions of two adjacent restraining components, or causing the size of the object (such as a battery) placed in the restraining space to become smaller, the size of the restraining partition can be adjusted by adjusting the distance between the first restraining plate and the second restraining plate in the first direction. This allows for timely and effective adjustment of the restraining effect of the restraining tray on the object.
[0008] In some embodiments, the first restraint plate is fixed to the main frame, and the second restraint plate is slidable relative to the main frame along the first direction to adjust the distance between the first restraint plate and the second restraint plate in the first direction.
[0009] In the above technical solution, by fixing the first restraint plate to the main frame and making the second restraint plate slidable relative to the main frame along the first direction, the distance between the first restraint plate and the second restraint plate in the first direction can be easily adjusted by sliding the second restraint plate relative to the main frame along the first direction.
[0010] In some embodiments, one of the main frame and the second restraint plate is provided with a groove and the other is provided with a slider, the slider being accommodated in the groove and slidable relative to the groove along the first direction.
[0011] In the above technical solution, by providing a groove on one of the main frame and the second restraint plate and a slider on the other, and by having the slider accommodated in the groove and slidable relative to the groove along the first direction, the main frame and the second restraint plate are slidably connected through the groove and the slider. The groove and slider have a simple structure and are easy to form.
[0012] In some embodiments, the main frame has a first side and a second side disposed opposite to each other along a first direction, and the main frame is provided with the sliding groove, which passes through the first side and the second side along the first direction.
[0013] In the above technical solution, by making the slide groove on the main frame pass through the first side and the second side along the first direction, the slide groove on the main frame does not have corresponding dimensional requirements along the first direction, which can reduce the processing difficulty of the slide groove; and making the slide groove pass through the first side and the second side along the first direction can make the accommodating space in the slide groove larger, so as to accommodate a larger volume slider, thereby improving the stability of the sliding connection between the main frame and the second restraint plate, and also improving the relative sliding stroke of the slider and the slide groove, thereby increasing the adjustment range of the distance between the first restraint plate and the second restraint plate, and further increasing the adjustment range of the restraint space size, which in turn helps to further improve the versatility and compatibility of the restraint tray.
[0014] In some embodiments, the main frame is further provided with a first guide limiting groove, and the second restraint plate is provided with a first guide protrusion. The first guide protrusion is accommodated in the first guide limiting groove and is slidable relative to the first guide limiting groove along the first direction. The first side is adjacent to the first restraint plate corresponding to the second side. The first guide limiting groove passes through the first side along the first direction but does not pass through the second side.
[0015] In the above technical solution, by setting a first guide limiting groove on the main frame and a first guide protrusion on the second restraint plate, and by accommodating the first guide block in the first guide limiting groove and allowing it to slide relative to the first guide limiting groove along a first direction, the main frame provides a guiding effect to the first guide block through the first guide limiting groove, so that the second restraint plate can slide relative to the main frame along the first guide limiting groove in the first direction. In addition, the first guide limiting groove extends through the first side along the first direction but does not extend through the second side, which facilitates the sliding connection of the second restraint plate to the main frame from the first side. The first guide limiting groove also limits the first guide block on the second side, preventing the first guide block from sliding out of the first guide limiting groove from the second side, thereby preventing the second restraint plate from sliding out of the main frame from the second side.
[0016] In some embodiments, the first direction intersects with the up-down direction, and the first guide limiting groove is located on the upper and lower sides of the slide groove.
[0017] In the above technical solution, by placing the first guide limiting groove on the upper and lower sides of the slide groove, the layout of the first guide limiting groove and the slide groove on the main frame is reasonable. The first guide limiting groove provides guidance and limiting function for the second restraint plate, thereby enabling the slider on the second restraint plate to slide stably in the slide groove and preventing the slider from detaching from the slide groove due to excessive sliding.
[0018] In some embodiments, the first direction intersects with the vertical direction, the main frame includes a frame base plate and two frame side plates disposed on the frame base plate, the two frame side plates are disposed opposite to each other and spaced apart along a second direction, the second direction intersects with both the first direction and the vertical direction, the first restraint plate is supported on the frame base plate and connected to the two frame side plates, the second restraint plate is supported on the frame base plate, the two frame side plates form the sliding groove, and the sliders are provided on both sides of the second restraint plate along the second direction.
[0019] In the above technical solution, by making the main frame include a frame base plate and two frame side plates that are opposite to each other and spaced apart along the second direction, and by making the first restraint plate supported on the frame base plate and connected to the two frame side plates, the frame base plate and the frame side plates provide support and fixation for the first restraint plate, which is conducive to the stable fixation of the first restraint plate on the main frame; and by making the second restraint plate supported on the frame base plate, and by making the two frame side plates form sliding grooves, and by making the second restraint plate form sliders on both sides along the second direction, the frame base plate provides support for the second restraint plate, and the sliders are accommodated in the sliding grooves, which allows the two frame side plates and the second restraint plate to form a sliding connection relationship in the second direction, thereby allowing the second restraint plate to slide relative to the main frame.
[0020] In some embodiments, the restraint member includes one or more adjustment tabs arranged along the first direction, the adjustment tabs being pluggably disposed between the first restraint plate and the second restraint plate, and the thickness direction of the adjustment tabs being consistent with the first direction.
[0021] In the above technical solution, by making the restraint component include one or more adjustment pieces arranged along the first direction, and by making the adjustment pieces pluggable between the first restraint plate and the second restraint plate, the distance between the first restraint plate and the second restraint plate in the first direction can be adjusted by plugging and unplugging the adjustment pieces disposed between the first restraint plate and the second restraint plate. In turn, the size of the restraint space between the second restraint plate and the first restraint plate of the adjacent restraint component can be adjusted by plugging and unplugging the adjustment pieces. The plugging and unplugging operation of the adjustment pieces is simple, time-saving, labor-saving, and conducive to reducing labor costs.
[0022] In some embodiments, the first direction intersects with the vertical direction, the adjustment piece is pluggable along the vertical direction, and the upper end of the adjustment piece is formed with a handhold for holding.
[0023] In the above technical solution, by forming a handhold at the upper end of the adjustment piece, the adjustment piece can be inserted and removed in the vertical direction by holding the handhold, which can further improve the convenience of inserting and removing the adjustment piece.
[0024] In some embodiments, the upper end of the adjustment piece is formed with two clearance grooves spaced apart along a second direction, and the two clearance grooves define the hand grip portion. The second direction intersects the first direction and the vertical direction.
[0025] In the above technical solution, by forming two clearance grooves spaced apart along the second direction at the upper end of the adjustment piece, and defining a handhold between the two clearance grooves, when the adjustment piece is inserted or removed by the handhold, the clearance grooves can be used to avoid obstructing the insertion or removal operation; and the fingers can be accommodated in the clearance grooves, so that the hand can stably hold the adjustment piece to perform the insertion or removal operation.
[0026] In some embodiments, the main frame is formed with a limiting rib extending along the first direction, and the adjusting piece is formed with a limiting groove. The limiting grooves on all the adjusting pieces of the same restraint member are engaged with the corresponding limiting ribs on the main frame.
[0027] In the above technical solution, by forming a limiting rib extending in the first direction on the main frame and forming a limiting groove on the adjusting piece, and by making the limiting groove on all the adjusting pieces of the same restraint component cooperate with the limiting rib on the corresponding main frame, the limiting rib on the main frame can limit the limiting groove on all the adjusting pieces. This is beneficial for the adjusting piece to be stably inserted between the first restraint plate and the second restraint plate, thereby avoiding the change in the distance between the first restraint plate and the second restraint plate due to the adjusting piece accidentally coming out from between the first restraint plate and the second restraint plate.
[0028] In some embodiments, the first restraint plate is detachably connected to the main frame.
[0029] In the above technical solution, by making the first restraint plate detachably connected to the main frame, it is convenient to replace and maintain the first restraint plate and the main frame respectively.

[0031] In the above technical solution, by making the second restraint plate detachably connected to the main frame, it is convenient to maintain and replace the second restraint plate and the main frame respectively.
[0032] In some embodiments, the first restraint plate includes a first rigid plate and a first flexible plate, wherein the first flexible plate is disposed on the side of the first rigid plate adjacent to the restraint space and is detachably connected to the first rigid plate.
[0033] In the above technical solution, by making the first restraint plate include a first rigid plate and a first flexible plate, and by making the first flexible plate disposed on the side of the first rigid plate adjacent to the restraint space, the first flexible plate enables flexible contact between the object (e.g., a battery) placed in the restraint space and the first restraint plate, which can effectively provide protection for the object (e.g., a battery) placed in the restraint space.
[0034] In some embodiments, the second restraint plate includes a second rigid plate and a second flexible plate, wherein the second flexible plate is disposed on the side of the second rigid plate adjacent to the restraint space and is detachably connected to the second rigid plate.
[0035] In the above technical solution, by making the second restraint plate include a second rigid plate and a second flexible plate, and by making the second flexible plate disposed on the side of the first rigid plate adjacent to the restraint space, the second flexible plate enables flexible contact between the object (e.g., a battery) placed in the restraint space and the second restraint plate, thereby providing effective protection for the object (e.g., a battery) placed in the restraint space.
[0036] In some embodiments, a plurality of spaced-apart first positioning holes are formed on the first rigid plate, and a plurality of spaced-apart first positioning posts are provided on the first flexible plate, with the plurality of first positioning posts being inserted into the plurality of first positioning holes one by one.
[0037] In the above technical solution, by forming a plurality of spaced first positioning holes on the first rigid plate and a plurality of spaced first positioning posts on the first flexible plate, and by inserting the plurality of first positioning posts into the plurality of first positioning holes one by one, the first rigid plate and the first flexible plate are detachably connected together through the plurality of first positioning holes and the plurality of first positioning posts, and the first rigid plate and the first flexible plate have multiple connection positions, which are spaced apart, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the connection relationship between the first rigid plate and the first flexible plate.
[0038] In some embodiments, a plurality of spaced-apart second positioning holes are formed on the second rigid plate, and a plurality of spaced-apart second positioning posts are provided on the second flexible plate, with the plurality of second positioning posts being inserted into the plurality of second positioning holes one by one.
[0039] In the above technical solution, by forming a plurality of spaced second positioning holes on the second rigid plate and a plurality of spaced second positioning posts on the second flexible plate, and by inserting the plurality of second positioning posts into the plurality of second positioning holes one by one, the second rigid plate and the second flexible plate are detachably connected together through the plurality of second positioning holes and the plurality of second positioning posts, and the second rigid plate and the second flexible plate have multiple connection positions, which are spaced apart, which is beneficial to improving the uniformity and stability of the connection relationship between the first rigid plate and the first flexible plate.
[0040] In some embodiments, the restraint member further includes a telescopic member disposed at one end of the restraint partition along the first direction and located on at least one side of the restraint space along the second direction. The telescopic member is telescopic along the first direction, with one end of the telescopic member connected to the restraint partition and the other end adapted to contact an adjacent restraint partition in the first direction. The second direction intersects the first direction.
[0041] In the above technical solution, by providing a telescopic member that can extend and retract along a first direction, and placing the telescopic member at one end of the restraint partition along the first direction, with one end of the telescopic member connected to the restraint partition and the other end adapted to contact an adjacent restraint partition, the distance between two adjacent restraint partitions can be adjusted by extending and retracting the telescopic member. When the restraint tray needs to restrain objects of different sizes (e.g., batteries) placed between two adjacent restraint partitions, the telescopic member can be extended and retracted to ensure that the two adjacent restraint partitions can effectively restrain objects of different sizes (e.g., batteries), thus improving the versatility and compatibility of the restraint tray. By placing the telescopic member on at least one side of the restraint space along a second direction, the telescopic member can avoid obstructing the placement of objects (e.g., batteries) within the restraint space.

[0043] In the above technical solution, by fixing the first restraint plate to the main frame and making the second restraint plate slidable relative to the main frame along the first direction, the distance between the first and second restraint plates in the first direction can be easily adjusted by sliding the second restraint plate relative to the main frame along the first direction. By connecting one end of the telescopic member to the second restraint plate and adapting the other end to contact the first restraint plate of the adjacent restraint partition, the size of the restraint space can be adjusted by extending and retracting the telescopic member. By adjusting the distance between the first and second restraint plates in the first direction and the size of the restraint space, the restraint tray can be used to accommodate more objects of different sizes (such as batteries), which is beneficial to further improve the versatility and compatibility of the restraint tray and enhance its restraint effect.
[0044] In some embodiments, the telescopic member is slidable relative to the second restraint plate along the first direction; the restraint member further includes a locking member, which is detachably engaged with the telescopic member, the locking member being used to fix the telescopic member when engaged with the telescopic member, and to allow the telescopic member to slide along the first direction when disengaged from the telescopic member.
[0045] In the above technical solution, by making the telescopic member slidable relative to the second restraint plate along the first direction, the telescopic member can be adjusted for extension and retraction by sliding. By providing a locking member, and making the locking member detachably engaged with the telescopic member, after the telescopic member has completed its extension and retraction adjustment, the telescopic member can be fixed in the adjusted position by engaging with the locking member, so that the size of the restraint space can be stably maintained, avoiding arbitrary changes in the size of the restraint space of the restraint tray and the deterioration of the restraint effect due to the free sliding of the telescopic member. Furthermore, when the telescopic member needs to slide relative to the second restraint plate along the first direction, the telescopic member can disengage from the locking member to release the fixing effect of the locking member on the telescopic member, and the state of whether the telescopic member can slide relative to the second restraint plate can be easily adjusted.
[0046] In some embodiments, the main frame is provided with a sliding groove, the second restraint plate is provided with a slider, the slider is accommodated in the sliding groove and is slidable relative to the sliding groove in a first direction; a sliding cavity is formed on the slider, one end of the telescopic member is slidably accommodated in the sliding cavity in the first direction, and the locking member is movably disposed on the slider so as to be separably engaged with the telescopic member.
[0047] In the above technical solution, by forming a slider on the second restraint plate and forming a sliding cavity on the slider, and by slidably accommodating one end of the telescopic member in the sliding cavity along the first direction, the telescopic member can be slidably installed on the second restraint plate, and by accommodating one end of the telescopic member in the sliding cavity, the telescopic member can be stably installed on the second restraint plate; by movably accommodating the locking member on the slider, the locking member can cooperate with the telescopic member by moving relative to the slider.
[0048] In some embodiments, the slider has an adjustment hole communicating with the sliding cavity, and the locking member is threadedly connected to the adjustment hole so that the locking member can move along the second direction.
[0049] In the above technical solution, by forming an adjustment hole on the slider that communicates with the sliding cavity, and making the locking member threadedly connected to the adjustment hole, the threaded connection can guide the locking member in the second direction, guiding the locking member to move in the second direction toward the telescopic member in the sliding cavity or away from it, so that the locking member and the telescopic member can be engaged or disengaged; and the threaded connection between the locking member and the adjustment hole makes it easy for the locking member to be stably maintained in a certain position, so that the locking member can fix the telescopic member.
[0050] In some embodiments, the telescopic member includes a sliding rod and an abutment plate, the sliding rod extending along the first direction with one end of the sliding rod located within the sliding cavity, the abutment plate being connected to the other end of the sliding rod, the abutment plate being located outside the sliding cavity and adapted to contact the first restraint plate of the adjacent restraint partition.
[0051] In the above technical solution, by making the telescopic member include a sliding rod and an abutment plate, with one end of the sliding rod located in the sliding cavity, the telescopic member can be slidably mounted on the slider via the sliding rod; and by making the abutment plate suitable for contacting the first restraint plate of the adjacent restraint partition, the contact area between the abutment plate and the first restraint plate is large, which can avoid damage to the first restraint plate by the telescopic member during the restraint of the tray, and the abutment plate can form a limiting effect on the object (e.g., battery) located in the restraint space along the second direction, which is beneficial for the object to be stably placed in the restraint space.
[0052] In some embodiments, a second guide limiting groove is formed on the inner wall of the sliding cavity, and a second guide protrusion is formed on the telescopic member. The second guide protrusion is accommodated in the second guide limiting groove and is slidable relative to the second guide limiting groove along the first direction.
[0053] In the above technical solution, a second guide limiting groove is formed on the inner wall of the sliding cavity, a second guide protrusion is formed on the telescopic member, and the second guide protrusion is accommodated in the second guide limiting groove. The second guide limiting groove guides the second guide protrusion, so that the second guide limiting groove can guide the telescopic member to slide relative to the second restraint plate in the first direction. The second guide limiting groove also limits the second guide protrusion, which can prevent the telescopic member from sliding excessively and detaching from the second restraint plate during the sliding process.
[0054] In some embodiments, the restraint tray includes: a guide rod disposed on the tray body and located on opposite sides of the restraint member along a second direction, the guide rod extending along a first direction, the second direction intersecting the first direction; and mounting blocks, each end of the restraint member being provided with the mounting blocks along the second direction, the main frame being connected to the mounting blocks, the mounting blocks having guide grooves that cooperate with the guide rods, and the mounting blocks being slidable relative to the guide rods along the first direction.
[0055] In the above technical solution, by setting a guide rod and a mounting block that can slide relative to the guide rod along a first direction, and forming a guide groove on the mounting block that cooperates with the guide rod, the guide rod forms a cooperative relationship with the mounting block through the guide groove, which facilitates the guide rod to provide a stable guide path for the mounting block, so that the mounting block can slide stably along the first direction.
[0056] In some embodiments, a positioning groove is formed on the mounting block, and the main frame has positioning plates at both ends along the second direction, the positioning plates being accommodated within the positioning groove.
[0057] In the above technical solution, by forming a positioning groove on the mounting block and having positioning plates at both ends of the main frame along the second direction, and by having the positioning plates accommodated in the positioning groove, the matching relationship between the positioning plates and the positioning groove facilitates the accurate positioning of the installation position of the restraint component, and is beneficial to improving the installation stability of the restraint component.
[0058] In some embodiments, a first buckle is formed on the inner wall of the positioning groove, and a second buckle is formed on the positioning plate, the second buckle engaging with the first buckle.
[0059] In the above technical solution, by forming a first buckle on the inner wall of the positioning groove and a second buckle on the positioning plate, and by engaging the second buckle with the first buckle, the engagement relationship between the second buckle and the first buckle enables the positioning groove to limit the restraint component, thereby preventing the restraint component from detaching from the positioning groove at will, which is beneficial to further improve the installation stability of the restraint component.
[0060] In some embodiments, the mounting block includes a mounting portion, a first linkage portion, and a second linkage portion. The mounting portion has the guide groove and is connected to the main frame. The first linkage portion and the second linkage portion are connected to opposite ends of the mounting portion along the first direction. A linkage groove is formed on the first linkage portion. The second linkage portion is accommodated in the linkage groove of an adjacent mounting block and is slidable relative to the linkage groove along the first direction.
[0061] In the above technical solution, by making the mounting block include a mounting part, a first linkage part and a second linkage part, and forming a linkage groove on the first linkage part, the second linkage part is accommodated in the linkage groove of the adjacent mounting block and can slide relative to the linkage groove along the first direction. Through the relative sliding between the first linkage part and the second linkage part, it is convenient to transmit power between the adjacent mounting blocks, and the linkage groove provides a guiding function for the second linkage part to control the movement trajectory of the adjacent mounting blocks. Thus, the two adjacent mounting blocks achieve linkage operation through the cooperation of the first linkage part and the second linkage part. By connecting the mounting part to the main frame, and connecting the first linkage part and the second linkage part to the opposite ends of the mounting part along the first direction, the linkage cooperation between the first linkage part and the second linkage part can also drive the restraint component installed on the mounting part to move together.

[0112] In the embodiments of this utility model, the same reference numerals denote the same components, and for the sake of brevity, detailed descriptions of the same components are omitted in different embodiments. It should be understood that the thickness, length, width, and other dimensions of various components in the embodiments of this utility model shown in the drawings, as well as the overall thickness, length, width, and other dimensions of the integrated device, are merely illustrative and should not constitute any limitation on this utility model.
[0113] In this utility model, "multiple" refers to two or more (including two).
[0114] In this invention, a battery refers to a single physical module comprising one or more battery cells to provide higher voltage and capacity. For example, the battery mentioned in this invention may include a battery module or a battery pack. Some batteries may include a housing for encapsulating one or more battery cells or multiple battery modules, the housing preventing liquids or other foreign matter from affecting the charging or discharging of the battery cells.
[0115] In this invention, the battery may include lithium-ion secondary batteries, lithium-ion primary batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, sodium-lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, or magnesium-ion batteries, etc., and this invention is not limited to these categories. The battery may be cylindrical, flat, cuboid, or other shapes, and this invention is not limited to these shapes either. Batteries are generally classified into three types according to their packaging method: cylindrical batteries, square batteries, and pouch batteries, and this invention is not limited to these types either.
[0116] Currently, judging from market trends, the application of batteries is becoming increasingly widespread. Batteries are not only used in energy storage systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power, and solar power plants, but also serve as power sources for numerous electrical devices. They are widely used in electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and electric cars, as well as in military equipment and aerospace, among other fields. With the continuous expansion of the application areas of power batteries, the market demand is also constantly increasing.
[0117] In battery manufacturing, to facilitate the processing of multiple different steps, restraint trays are typically used for batch transfer of batteries. These trays apply restraining forces to keep the batteries within their confines. In related technologies, the restraint tray has multiple restraint components, and the batteries are usually placed between restraint partitions of adjacent restraint components.
[0118] However, the compatibility and versatility of restraint trays are poor. When it is necessary to process batteries of different sizes in batches, different restraint trays or restraint separators of different sizes need to be replaced, which increases production costs and reduces production efficiency. In addition, due to the restraining force of the restraint tray, the restraint effect of the restraint tray on the battery may deteriorate during the use of the restraint tray.
[0119] Based on this, the applicant proposes a restraint tray, including a tray body and a plurality of restraint components. The plurality of restraint components are disposed on the tray body and arranged along a first direction, such that the restraint components include restraint partitions, and the restraint partitions include a main frame, a first restraint plate and a second restraint plate. The first restraint plate and the second restraint plate are both disposed on the main frame and arranged opposite to each other along the first direction. A restraint space is defined between the first restraint plate and the second restraint plate in the adjacent restraint components. The distance between the first restraint plate and the second restraint plate in the first direction is adjustable.
[0120] In such a restraint tray, by making the distance between the first restraint plate and the second restraint plate of the restraint partition adjustable in the first direction, the size of the restraint space between the first restraint plate and the second restraint plate of the adjacent restraint component can be flexibly adjusted so that the size of the restraint space can be adapted to objects of different sizes. This allows the restraint tray to be used for objects of different sizes (such as batteries), improving the compatibility and versatility of the restraint tray. In the production process, this can effectively reduce the purchase cost of additional restraint trays or restraint partitions due to changes in the size of the objects being produced, while also reducing the time wasted caused by frequent changes of restraint trays or restraint partitions, thereby helping to reduce production costs and improve production efficiency.
[0121] Furthermore, during the production process, if the restraining force of the restraining tray causes the tray partition to deform to a certain extent, resulting in a change in the size of the space between the restraining partitions of two adjacent restraining components, or causing the size of the object (such as a battery) placed in the restraining space to become smaller, the size of the restraining partition can be adjusted by adjusting the distance between the first restraining plate and the second restraining plate in the first direction. This allows for timely and effective adjustment of the restraining effect of the restraining tray on the object.
[0122] In this invention, the restraint tray can be used, but is not limited to, in the battery production process; in this invention, the first restraint plate of the restraint component can define a restraint space with, but is not limited to, the second restraint plate of the adjacent restraint component, and the first restraint plate of the restraint component can also define a restraint space between other components on the tray (e.g., the tray body).
[0123] The following is for reference. Figures 1-32 Description of a restraint tray 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model.
[0124] refer to Figures 1-2 In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a restraint tray 100, comprising: a tray body 1 and a plurality of restraint components 2, wherein the plurality of restraint components 2 are disposed on the tray body 1 and arranged along a first direction (refer to direction e1 in the figure), referring to... Figures 3-7 The restraint component 2 includes a restraint partition 21, which includes a main frame 3, a first restraint plate 4, and a second restraint plate 5. The first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 are both disposed on the main frame 3 and are arranged opposite to each other along a first direction. A restraint space 22 is defined between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 in the adjacent restraint component 2. The distance between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 in the first direction is adjustable.
[0125] Optionally, the restraint tray 100 can be used in the battery production process, whereby the battery can be placed within the restraint space 22. For example, when using the restraint tray 100 in the production process of batteries of different sizes, the size of the restraint space 22 can be adjusted by adjusting the distance between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 in the first direction, so that the restraint tray 100 can be used to match batteries of different sizes.
[0126] Optionally, the second restraint plate 5 can adjust the distance between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 in the first direction by moving relative to the first restraint plate 4 in the first direction; alternatively, the distance between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 in the first direction can be adjusted by moving towards each other.
[0127] For example, when the restraint tray 100 is to be used for the production of larger batteries, the distance between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 in the first direction can be reduced by moving the second restraint plate 5 toward a direction closer to the first restraint plate 4. This increases the restraint space 22 defined between the second restraint plate 5 and the first restraint plate 4 in the adjacent restraint component 2, so that a larger battery can be placed in the restraint space 22 and the restraint tray 100 can provide a good restraint effect on the battery.
[0128] For example, when the restraint tray 100 is to be used for the production of smaller batteries, the distance between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 in the first direction can be increased by moving the second restraint plate 5 away from the first restraint plate 4. This reduces the restraint space 22 defined between the second restraint plate 5 and the first restraint plate 4 in the adjacent restraint component 2, so that the smaller battery can be placed in the restraint space 22 and the restraint tray 100 can provide a good restraint effect on the battery.
[0129] For example, when the restraint tray 100 is used in the battery production process, the restraint tray 100 deforms during use, causing the space between the restraint partitions 21 of two adjacent restraint components 2 to increase, and the size of the battery along the first direction to decrease. This results in a decrease in the restraint force of the restraint tray 100 on the battery and a worse restraint effect. The battery shifts position within the restraint tray 100, and this shift causes the battery terminals to misalign with the storage probes, making it impossible to perform performance tests on the battery. In this case, the magnitude of the restraint force and the restraint effect on the battery can be adjusted by increasing the distance between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 in the first direction, so that the subsequent battery production process can proceed smoothly.
[0130] In the above technical solution, by making the distance between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 of the restraint partition 21 adjustable in the first direction, the size of the restraint space 22 of the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 of the adjacent restraint component 2 can be flexibly adjusted so that the size of the restraint space 22 can be adapted to objects of different sizes, thereby enabling the restraint tray 100 to be applicable to objects of different sizes (such as batteries), improving the compatibility and versatility of the restraint tray 100. In the production process, this can effectively reduce the additional purchase cost of the restraint tray 100 or restraint partition 21 caused by the change of the size of the produced object, and at the same time reduce the time wasted caused by frequent replacement of the restraint tray 100 or restraint partition 21, thereby helping to reduce production costs and improve production efficiency.
[0131] Furthermore, during the production process, if the restraining force of the restraining tray 100 causes the tray partition to deform to a certain extent, resulting in a change in the size of the space between the restraining partitions 21 of two adjacent restraining components 2, or causing the size of the object (e.g., a battery) placed in the restraining space 22 to become smaller, the size of the restraining partition 21 can be adjusted by adjusting the distance between the first restraining plate 4 and the second restraining plate 5 in the first direction. This allows for the adjustment of the size of the restraining space 22, so as to make timely and effective adjustments to the restraint effect of the restraining tray 100 on the object.
[0132] refer to Figures 3-7 In some embodiments, the first restraint plate 4 is fixed to the main frame 3, and the second restraint plate 5 is slidable relative to the main frame 3 along a first direction to adjust the distance between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 in the first direction.
[0133] For example, the second restraint plate 5 moves relative to the main frame 3 in a direction closer to the second restraint plate 5 along a first direction to reduce the distance between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 in the first direction.
[0134] For example, the second restraint plate 5 moves relative to the main frame 3 in a direction away from the second restraint plate 5 along the first direction to increase the distance between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 in the first direction.
[0135] In the above technical solution, by fixing the first restraint plate 4 to the main frame 3 and making the second restraint plate 5 slidable relative to the main frame 3 along the first direction, the distance between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 in the first direction can be easily adjusted by sliding the second restraint plate 5 relative to the main frame 3 along the first direction.
[0136] refer to Figures 8-16 In some embodiments, one of the main frame 3 and the second restraint plate 5 is provided with a groove 31 and the other is provided with a slider 51. The slider 51 is accommodated in the groove 31 and can slide relative to the groove 31 in a first direction.
[0137] In this configuration, one of the main frame 3 and the second restraint plate 5 is provided with a sliding groove 31 and the other is provided with a slider 51. This can include the following scenarios: for example, the main frame 3 is provided with a sliding groove 31 and the second restraint plate 5 is provided with a slider 51, so that the second restraint plate 5 can slide relative to the main frame 3 in a first direction; or, for another example, the main frame 3 is provided with a slider 51 and the second restraint plate 5 is provided with a sliding groove 31, so that the second restraint plate 5 can slide relative to the main frame 3 in a first direction.
[0138] In the above technical solution, by providing a groove 31 on one of the main frame 3 and the second restraint plate 5 and a slider 51 on the other, and by accommodating the slider 51 in the groove 31 and allowing it to slide relative to the groove 31 in the first direction, the main frame 3 and the second restraint plate 5 are slidably connected through the groove 31 and the slider 51. The groove 31 and the slider 51 have simple structures and are easy to form.
[0139] refer to Figures 8-11 In some embodiments, the main frame 3 has a first side 32 and a second side 33 arranged opposite to each other along a first direction, and the main frame 3 is provided with a groove 31 that passes through the first side 32 and the second side 33 along the first direction.
[0140] For example, the first restraint plate 4 is fixed to the first side 32 of the main frame 3, and the second restraint plate 5 can slide between the first side 32 and the second side 33 of the main frame 3 along the first direction.
[0141] In the above technical solution, by making the slide groove 31 on the main frame 3 penetrate through the first side 32 and the second side 33 along the first direction, the slide groove 31 does not have corresponding size requirements along the first direction on the main frame 3, which can reduce the processing difficulty of the slide groove 31; and making the slide groove 31 penetrate through the first side 32 and the second side 33 along the first direction can make the accommodating space in the slide groove 31 larger, so as to accommodate a larger volume slider 51, thereby improving the stability of the sliding connection between the main frame 3 and the second restraint plate 5, and also improving the relative sliding stroke of the slider 51 and the slide groove 31, thereby increasing the adjustment range of the distance between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5, and further increasing the adjustment range of the size of the restraint space 22, which in turn helps to further improve the versatility and compatibility of the restraint tray 100.
[0142] refer to Figures 8-16 In some embodiments, the main frame 3 is further provided with a first guide limiting groove 34, and the second restraint plate 5 is provided with a first guide protrusion 52. The first guide protrusion 52 is accommodated in the first guide limiting groove 34 and can slide relative to the first guide limiting groove 34 in a first direction. The first side 32 is adjacent to the corresponding first restraint plate 4 relative to the second side 33. The first guide limiting groove 34 passes through the first side 32 in the first direction but does not pass through the second side 33.
[0143] For example, the installation process of the restraint partition 21 may include the following steps:
[0144] First, the first guide protrusion 52 and the slider 51 of the second restraint plate 5 are respectively accommodated in the first guide limiting groove 34 and the sliding groove 31 of the main frame 3 from the first side 32 of the main frame 3.
[0145] Next, the first restraint plate 4 is fixed to the first side 32 of the main frame 3.
[0146] In the above technical solution, by setting a first guide limiting groove 34 on the main frame 3 and a first guide protrusion 52 on the second restraint plate 5, and by accommodating the first guide block in the first guide limiting groove 34 and allowing it to slide relative to the first guide limiting groove 34 in a first direction, the main frame 3 provides a guiding effect to the first guide block through the first guide limiting groove 34, so that the second restraint plate 5 can slide relative to the main frame 3 in a first direction along the first guide limiting groove 34. In addition, by making the first guide limiting groove 34 penetrate the first side 32 in the first direction but not penetrate the second side 33, it is convenient to slide the second restraint plate 5 to the main frame 3 from the first side 32. Furthermore, the first guide limiting groove 34 forms a limiting effect on the first guide block on the second side 33, which can prevent the first guide block from sliding out of the first guide limiting groove 34 from the second side 33, thereby preventing the second restraint plate 5 from sliding out of the main frame 3 from the second side 33.
[0147] refer to Figures 12-16 In some embodiments, the first direction intersects with the up and down direction (as shown by direction e3 in the figure), and the first guide limiting groove 34 is located on the upper and lower sides of the slide groove 31.
[0148] In the above technical solution, by placing the first guide limiting groove 34 on the upper and lower sides of the slide groove 31, the first guide limiting groove 34 and the slide groove 31 on the main frame 3 are reasonably arranged. The first guide limiting groove 34 provides guidance and limiting function for the second restraint plate 5, so that the slider 51 on the second restraint plate 5 can slide stably in the slide groove 31, and the slider 51 can be prevented from detaching from the slide groove 31 due to excessive sliding.
[0149] refer to Figures 3-7 In some embodiments, the first direction intersects with the vertical direction. The main frame 3 includes a frame base plate 35 and two frame side plates 36 disposed on the frame base plate 35. The two frame side plates 36 are arranged opposite each other and spaced apart along the second direction (refer to direction e2 in the figure). The second direction intersects with both the first direction and the vertical direction. The first restraint plate 4 is supported on the frame base plate 35 and connected to the two frame side plates 36. The second restraint plate 5 is supported on the frame base plate 35. The two frame side plates 36 form a sliding groove 31. The second restraint plate 5 has sliders 51 on both sides along the second direction.
[0150] In the above technical solution, by making the main frame 3 include a frame base plate 35 and two frame side plates 36 that are opposite to each other and spaced apart along the second direction, and by making the first restraint plate 4 supported on the frame base plate 35 and connected to the two frame side plates 36, the frame base plate 35 and the frame side plates 36 provide support and fixation for the first restraint plate 4, which is beneficial to the stable fixation of the first restraint plate 4 on the main frame 3; and by making the second restraint plate 5 supported on the frame base plate 35, and by making the two frame side plates 36 form a sliding groove 31, and by making the second restraint plate 5 have sliders 51 formed on both sides along the second direction, the frame base plate 35 provides support for the second restraint plate 5, and the sliders 51 are accommodated in the sliding groove 31, which allows the two frame side plates 36 and the second restraint plate 5 to form a sliding connection relationship in the second direction, and the second restraint plate 5 can slide relative to the main frame 3.
[0151] refer to Figures 12-20 In some embodiments, a first support portion 44 is formed at the lower end of the first restraint plate 4, and a second support portion 55 is formed at the lower end of the second restraint plate 5. The first support portion 44 and the second support portion 55 extend along a second direction, and the first support portion 44 is located on the side of the first restraint plate 4 adjacent to the restraint space 22, and the second support portion 55 is located on the side of the second restraint plate 5 adjacent to the restraint space 22. The first support portion 44 and the second support portion 55 provide support for an object (e.g., a battery) placed in the restraint space 22.
[0152] Optionally, the first support part 44 and the second support part 55 can be supported on the frame base plate 35.
[0153] refer to Figures 1-7 In some embodiments, the restraint member 2 includes one or more adjustment pieces 6 arranged along a first direction. The adjustment pieces 6 are pluggably disposed between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5, and the thickness direction of the adjustment pieces 6 is consistent with the first direction.
[0154] Optionally, the thickness of the adjusting piece 6 can be 0.5-1mm, for example, the thickness of the adjusting piece 6 can be 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.75mm, 0.9mm, 1mm, etc.
[0155] For example, the distance between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 can be reduced by pulling out the adjusting piece 6 inserted between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 from bottom to top, so that the second restraint plate 5 slides relative to the main frame 3 toward the direction closer to the first restraint plate 4.
[0156] For example, the distance between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 can be increased by inserting another adjusting piece 6 from top to bottom between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5, so that the second restraint plate 5 slides relative to the main frame 3 in a direction away from the first restraint plate 4.
[0157] In the above technical solution, by making the restraint component 2 include one or more adjustment pieces 6 arranged along the first direction, and by making the adjustment pieces 6 pluggably disposed between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5, the distance between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 in the first direction can be adjusted by inserting and removing the adjustment pieces 6 disposed between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5. In turn, the size of the restraint space 22 between the second restraint plate 5 and the first restraint plate 4 of the adjacent restraint component 2 can be adjusted by inserting and removing the adjustment pieces 6. The insertion and removal operation of the adjustment pieces 6 is simple, time-saving, labor-saving, and conducive to reducing labor costs.
[0158] refer to Figure 5 The adjusting piece 6 is adapted to contact the first restraint plate 4 in the first direction; the adjusting piece 6 is adapted to contact the second restraint plate 5 in the first direction; when there are multiple adjusting pieces 6, adjacent adjusting pieces 6 are adapted to contact each other in the first direction.
[0159] refer to Figures 21-24 In some embodiments, the first direction intersects with the vertical direction, the adjustment piece 6 is pluggable along the vertical direction, and the upper end of the adjustment piece 6 is formed with a handhold 61 for holding.
[0160] In the above technical solution, by forming a hand-held part 61 at the upper end of the adjustment piece 6, the adjustment piece 6 can be inserted and removed in the vertical direction by holding the hand-held part 61 of the adjustment piece 6, which can further improve the convenience of inserting and removing the adjustment piece 6.
[0161] refer to Figures 21-24 In some embodiments, the upper end of the adjusting piece 6 is formed with two clearance grooves 63 spaced apart along the second direction, and the hand-held part 61 is defined between the two clearance grooves 63. The second direction intersects the first direction and the vertical direction.
[0162] In the above technical solution, by forming two clearance grooves 63 spaced apart along the second direction at the upper end of the adjustment piece 6, and defining a handhold 61 between the two clearance grooves 63, when the adjustment piece 6 is inserted or removed by holding the handhold 61, the clearance grooves 63 can be used to avoid the hand, thus avoiding obstruction to the insertion or removal operation; and the fingers can be accommodated in the clearance grooves 63, so that the hand can stably hold the adjustment piece 6 to perform the insertion or removal operation.
[0163] In some embodiments, reference Figures 8-9 The main frame 3 has a limiting rib 37 extending in the first direction, as shown in the reference. Figures 21-24 The adjusting piece 6 forms a limiting groove 62, and the limiting groove 62 on all the adjusting pieces 6 of the same restraint component 2 is engaged with the limiting rib 37 on the corresponding main frame 3.
[0164] Optionally, the main frame 3 includes two frame side plates 36 arranged opposite each other along a second direction. One of the frame side plates 36 has a limiting rib 37 extending along a first direction, and the adjusting piece 6 has a limiting groove 62 formed on one side of the frame side plate 36 along the first direction. Optionally, the main frame 3 includes two frame side plates 36 arranged opposite each other along a second direction. The two frame side plates 36 have limiting ribs 37 extending along a first direction, and the adjusting piece 6 has limiting grooves 62 formed on both sides along the first direction.
[0165] In the above technical solution, by forming a limiting rib 37 extending in the first direction on the main frame 3 and a limiting groove 62 on the adjusting piece 6, and by making the limiting groove 62 on all the adjusting pieces 6 of the same restraint component 2 cooperate with the corresponding limiting rib 37 on the main frame 3, the limiting rib 37 on the main frame 3 can limit the limiting groove 62 on all the adjusting pieces 6, which is beneficial for the adjusting piece 6 to be stably inserted between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5, thereby avoiding the change in the distance between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 due to the adjusting piece 6 accidentally coming out from between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5.
[0166] refer to Figures 17-18 In some embodiments, the first restraint plate 4 is detachably connected to the main frame 3. Optionally, the first restraint plate 4 and the main frame 3 are detachably connected by fasteners. For example, the first restraint plate 4 has connection holes 43 formed at both ends along the second direction, and the first restraint plate 4 can be connected to the main frame 3 by passing fasteners through the connection holes 43 and the main frame 3.
[0167] In the above technical solution, by making the first restraint plate 4 detachably connected to the main frame 3, it is convenient to replace and maintain the first restraint plate 4 and the main frame 3 respectively.

[0178] Optionally, the first flexible plate 42 and the second flexible plate 54 have the same structure and material.
[0179] refer to Figures 3-7 In some embodiments, the restraint member 2 further includes a telescopic member 7, which is disposed at one end of the restraint partition 21 along a first direction and located on at least one side of the restraint space 22 along a second direction. The telescopic member 7 is telescopic along the first direction. In the first direction, one end of the telescopic member 7 is connected to the restraint partition 21 and the other end is adapted to contact an adjacent restraint partition 21. The second direction intersects the first direction.
[0180] The telescopic member 7 is located on at least one side of the restraint space 22 along the second direction, and may include the following situations: for example, the telescopic member 7 is located on one side of the restraint space 22 along the second direction; or, for another example, the telescopic member 7 is located on both sides of the restraint space 22 along the second direction.
[0181] For example, the distance between the other end of the telescopic member 7 and the restraint partition 21 can be increased by sliding the telescopic member 7 along the first direction, thereby increasing the spacing between two adjacent restraint partitions 21.
[0182] For example, the distance between the other end of the telescopic member 7 and the restraint partition 21 can be shortened by sliding the telescopic member 7 along the first direction, thereby reducing the spacing between two adjacent restraint partitions 21.
[0183] In the above technical solution, by providing a telescopic member 7 that is retractable along the first direction, and placing the telescopic member 7 at one end of the restraint partition 21 along the first direction, with one end of the telescopic member 7 connected to the restraint partition 21 and the other end adapted to contact an adjacent restraint partition 21, the distance between two adjacent restraint partitions 21 can be adjusted by extending and retracting the telescopic member 7. When the restraint tray 100 needs to restrain objects of different sizes (e.g., batteries) placed between two adjacent restraint partitions 21, the telescopic member 7 can be extended and retracted to ensure that the two adjacent restraint partitions 21 can effectively restrain objects of different sizes (e.g., batteries), thus improving the versatility and compatibility of the restraint tray 100. By placing the telescopic member 7 on at least one side of the restraint space 22 along the second direction, the telescopic member 7 can be prevented from obstructing the placement of objects (e.g., batteries) within the restraint space 22.
[0184] refer to Figures 1-7 In some embodiments, the first restraint plate 4 is fixed to the main frame 3, and the second restraint plate 5 is slidable relative to the main frame 3 along a first direction to adjust the distance between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 in the first direction. In the first direction, one end of the telescopic member 7 is connected to the second restraint plate 5 and the other end is adapted to contact the first restraint plate 4 of the adjacent restraint partition 21.
[0185] When the size of the restraint space 22 of the restraint tray 100 does not match the size of the battery being produced, for example, the size of the restraint space 22 can be adjusted by adjusting the distance between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 in the first direction; or, for example, the distance between the other end of the telescopic member 7 and the second restraint plate 5 can be adjusted by extending or retracting the telescopic member 7, thereby changing the distance between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 of the adjacent restraint partition 21 that contacts the other end of the telescopic member 7, thereby adjusting the size of the restraint space 22; or, for example, the size of the restraint space 22 can be adjusted by simultaneously adjusting the distance between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 in the first direction and extending or retracting the telescopic member 7.
[0186] In the above technical solution, by fixing the first restraint plate 4 to the main frame 3 and making the second restraint plate 5 slidable relative to the main frame 3 along the first direction, the distance between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 in the first direction can be easily adjusted by sliding the second restraint plate 5 relative to the main frame 3 along the first direction. By connecting one end of the telescopic member 7 to the second restraint plate 5 and adapting the other end to contact the first restraint plate 4 of the adjacent restraint partition 21, the size of the restraint space 22 can be adjusted by extending and retracting the telescopic member 7. By adjusting the distance between the first restraint plate 4 and the second restraint plate 5 in the first direction and adjusting the size of the restraint space 22, the restraint tray 100 can be used to match more objects of different sizes (such as batteries), which is beneficial to further improve the versatility and compatibility of the restraint tray 100 and to improve the restraint effect of the restraint tray 100.
[0187] refer to Figures 3-7 In some embodiments, the telescopic member 7 is slidable relative to the second restraint plate 5 along a first direction; the restraint member 2 also includes a locking member 8, which is detachably engaged with the telescopic member 7. The locking member 8 is used to fix the telescopic member 7 when engaged with it, and to allow the telescopic member 7 to slide along the first direction when disengaged from it.
[0188] In the above technical solution, by making the telescopic member 7 slidable relative to the second restraint plate 5 along the first direction, the telescopic member 7 can be adjusted by sliding. By providing a locking member 8, and making the locking member 8 separably engaged with the telescopic member 7, after the telescopic member 7 has completed its telescopic adjustment, it can be fixed in the adjusted position by cooperating with the locking member 8, so that the size of the restraint space 22 can be stably maintained, avoiding arbitrary changes in the size of the restraint space 22 of the restraint tray 100 and the deterioration of the restraint effect due to the free sliding of the telescopic member 7. It also allows the telescopic member 7 to disengage from the locking member 8 when it needs to slide relative to the second restraint plate 5 along the first direction, thereby releasing the fixing effect of the locking member 8 on the telescopic member 7, and making it convenient to adjust whether the telescopic member 7 can slide relative to the second restraint plate 5.
[0189] In some embodiments, reference Figures 3-7 The main frame 3 is provided with a sliding groove 31, and the second restraint plate 5 is provided with a slider 51. The slider 51 is accommodated in the sliding groove 31 and can slide relative to the sliding groove 31 along a first direction. (Reference) Figures 12-14 A sliding cavity 511 is formed on the slider 51. One end of the telescopic member 7 is slidably accommodated in the sliding cavity 511 along the first direction. The locking member 8 is movably disposed on the slider 51 so as to be separably engaged with the telescopic member 7.
[0190] In the above technical solution, by forming a slider 51 on the second restraint plate 5 and forming a sliding cavity 511 on the slider 51, and by slidably accommodating one end of the telescopic member 7 in the sliding cavity 511 along the first direction, the telescopic member 7 is slidably mounted on the second restraint plate 5, and by accommodating one end of the telescopic member 7 in the sliding cavity 511, the telescopic member 7 can be stably mounted on the second restraint plate 5; by movably disposing the locking member 8 on the slider 51, the locking member 8 can cooperate with the telescopic member 7 by moving relative to the slider 51.
[0191] When the locking member 8 and the telescopic member 7 are engaged, the locking member 8 and the telescopic member 7 are in contact; when the locking member 8 and the telescopic member 7 are disengaged, the locking member 8 and the telescopic member 7 are no longer in contact.
[0192] refer to Figures 12-15 In some embodiments, the slider 51 has an adjustment hole 512 that communicates with the sliding cavity 511, and the locking member 8 is threadedly connected to the adjustment hole 512 so that the locking member 8 can move in the second direction.
[0193] In the above technical solution, by forming an adjustment hole 512 on the slider 51 that communicates with the sliding cavity 511, and making the locking member 8 threadedly connected to the adjustment hole 512, the threaded connection can guide the locking member 8 in the second direction, guiding the locking member 8 to move in the second direction toward or away from the telescopic member 7 in the sliding cavity 511, so that the locking member 8 and the telescopic member 7 can be engaged or disengaged; and the threaded connection between the locking member 8 and the adjustment hole 512 makes it easy for the locking member 8 to be stably maintained in a certain position, so that the locking member 8 can fix the telescopic member 7.
[0194] refer to Figures 29-32 In some embodiments, the telescopic member 7 includes a sliding rod 71 and an abutment plate 72. The sliding rod 71 extends in a first direction and one end of the sliding rod 71 is located inside the sliding cavity 511. The abutment plate 72 is connected to the other end of the sliding rod 71 and is located outside the sliding cavity 511 and is adapted to contact the first restraint plate 4 of the adjacent restraint partition 21.
[0195] Optionally, the sliding rod 71 may also be provided with a scale, which is beneficial to accurately control the sliding distance of the sliding rod 71 relative to the sliding cavity 511, thereby enabling more accurate adjustment of the size of the restraint space 22 so that the restraint tray 100 can better fit objects of different sizes (such as batteries).
[0196] In the above technical solution, by making the telescopic member 7 include a sliding rod 71 and an abutment plate 72, with one end of the sliding rod 71 located in the sliding cavity 511, the telescopic member 7 is slidably mounted on the slider 51 via the sliding rod 71; and by making the abutment plate 72 suitable for contacting the first restraint plate 4 of the adjacent restraint partition 21, the contact area between the abutment plate 72 and the first restraint plate 4 is large, which can avoid damage to the first restraint plate 4 by the telescopic member 7 during the restraint of the tray 100, and the abutment plate 72 can form a limiting effect on the object (e.g., battery) located in the restraint space 22 in the second direction, which is beneficial for the object to be stably placed in the restraint space 22.
[0197] refer to Figure 12 In some embodiments, a second guide limiting groove 5111 is formed on the inner wall of the sliding cavity 511, and a second guide protrusion 73 is formed on the telescopic member 7. The second guide protrusion 73 is accommodated in the second guide limiting groove 5111 and can slide relative to the second guide limiting groove 5111 in a first direction.
[0198] In the above technical solution, a second guide limiting groove 5111 is formed on the inner wall of the sliding cavity 511, and a second guide protrusion 73 is formed on the telescopic member 7. The second guide protrusion 73 is accommodated in the second guide limiting groove 5111. The second guide limiting groove 5111 guides the second guide protrusion 73, so that the second guide limiting groove 5111 can guide the telescopic member 7 to slide relative to the second restraint plate 5 in the first direction. The second guide limiting groove 5111 also limits the second guide protrusion 73, which can prevent the telescopic member 7 from sliding excessively and detaching from the second restraint plate 5 during the sliding process.
[0199] For example, when the restraint space 22 of the restraint tray 100 is too small and does not match the size of the battery being produced, the restraint tray 100 can be adjusted by the following steps:
[0200] First, rotate the locking member 8. The locking member 8 moves away from the sliding cavity 511 in the second direction relative to the adjusting hole 512. The locking member 8 disengages from the sliding rod 71 of the telescopic member 7, and the locking member 8 disengages from the telescopic member 7.
[0201] Next, the telescopic member 7 is slid relative to the sliding cavity 511 in the first direction, so that the abutment plate 72 at the other end of the telescopic member 7 moves away from the second restraint plate 5. The abutment plate 72 of the telescopic member 7 pushes the first restraint plate 4 of the adjacent restraint member 2 that is in contact with it to move away from the second restraint plate 5, so as to increase the size of the restraint space 22 to be sufficient to accommodate the produced battery.
[0202] Next, the locking member 8 is rotated, and the locking member 8 moves relative to the adjusting hole 512 in the second direction toward the sliding cavity 511. The locking member 8 contacts the sliding rod 71 of the telescopic member 7, and the locking member 8 cooperates with the telescopic member 7 to fix the telescopic member 7 in that position.
[0203] For example, when the restraint space 22 of the restraint tray 100 is too large and does not match the size of the battery being produced, the restraint tray 100 can be adjusted by the following steps:
[0204] First, rotate the locking member 8. The locking member 8 moves away from the sliding cavity 511 in the second direction relative to the adjusting hole 512. The locking member 8 disengages from the sliding rod 71 of the telescopic member 7, and the locking member 8 disengages from the telescopic member 7.
[0205] Next, the telescopic member 7 is slid relative to the sliding cavity 511 in the first direction, so that the abutment plate 72 at the other end of the telescopic member 7 moves toward the direction of the second restraint plate 5, and the first restraint plate 4 of the adjacent restraint member 2 moves toward the direction of the second restraint plate 5, so that the abutment plate 72 of the telescopic member 7 contacts the first restraint of the adjacent restraint member 2, so as to reduce the size of the restraint space 22 to be sufficient to accommodate the produced battery.
[0206] Next, the locking member 8 is rotated, and the locking member 8 moves relative to the adjusting hole 512 in the second direction toward the sliding cavity 511. The locking member 8 contacts the sliding rod 71 of the telescopic member 7, and the locking member 8 cooperates with the telescopic member 7 to fix the telescopic member 7 in that position.
[0207] refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the restraint tray 100 further includes guide rods and mounting blocks 10. The guide rods are disposed on the tray body 1 and located on opposite sides of the restraint member 2 along a second direction. The guide rods extend along a first direction, and the second direction intersects the first direction. Mounting blocks 10 are provided at both ends of the restraint member 2 along the second direction. The main frame 3 is connected to the mounting blocks 10. The mounting blocks 10 have guide grooves 105 that cooperate with the guide rods. The mounting blocks 10 are slidable relative to the guide rods along the first direction.
[0208] Optionally, the restraint tray 100 is provided with four guide rods, and the restraint component 2 is provided with two guide rods on each of its opposite sides along the second direction.
[0209] In the above technical solution, by setting a guide rod and a mounting block 10 that is slidable relative to the guide rod in a first direction, and forming a guide groove 105 on the mounting block 10 that cooperates with the guide rod, the guide rod forms a cooperative relationship with the mounting block 10 through the guide groove 105, which facilitates the guide rod to provide a stable guide path for the mounting block 10, so that the mounting block 10 can slide stably in the first direction.
[0210] refer to Figures 1-2 In some embodiments, a positioning groove 101 is formed on the mounting block 10, and the main frame 3 has positioning plates 38 at both ends along the second direction, the positioning plates 38 being accommodated in the positioning groove 101.
[0211] For example, the restraint component 2 can be installed on the mounting block 10 from top to bottom, and the positioning plate 38 of the fastener is inserted into the positioning groove 101 from top to bottom.
[0212] In the above technical solution, by forming a positioning groove 101 on the mounting block 10 and having positioning plates 38 at both ends of the main frame 3 along the second direction, and by having the positioning plates 38 accommodated in the positioning groove 101, the matching relationship between the positioning plates 38 and the positioning groove 101 facilitates the accurate positioning of the installation position of the restraint component 2, and is conducive to improving the installation stability of the restraint component 2.
[0213] In some embodiments, a first latch is formed on the inner wall of the positioning groove 101, for reference. Figures 8-9 A second buckle 39 is formed on the positioning plate 38, and the second buckle 39 is engaged with the first buckle.
[0214] In the above technical solution, by forming a first buckle on the inner wall of the positioning groove 101 and a second buckle 39 on the positioning plate 38, and by engaging the second buckle 39 with the first buckle, the engagement relationship between the second buckle 39 and the first buckle enables the positioning groove 101 to limit the restraint member 2, thereby preventing the restraint member 2 from detaching from the positioning groove 101 at will, which is beneficial to further improve the installation stability of the restraint member 2.
[0215] refer to Figures 1-2 In some embodiments, the mounting block 10 includes a mounting portion 102, a first linkage portion 103, and a second linkage portion 104. The mounting portion 102 has a guide groove 105 and is connected to the main frame 3. The first linkage portion 103 and the second linkage portion 104 are connected to opposite ends of the mounting portion 102 along a first direction. A linkage groove 1031 is formed on the first linkage portion 103. The second linkage portion 104 is accommodated in the linkage groove 1031 of the adjacent mounting block 10 and is slidable relative to the linkage groove 1031 along the first direction.
[0216] In the above technical solution, by making the mounting block 10 include a mounting part 102, a first linkage part 103 and a second linkage part 104, and forming a linkage groove 1031 on the first linkage part 103, the second linkage part 104 is accommodated in the linkage groove 1031 of the adjacent mounting block 10 and can slide relative to the linkage groove 1031 along the first direction, the relative sliding between the first linkage part 103 and the second linkage part 104 facilitates the power transmission between the adjacent mounting blocks 10, and the linkage groove 1031 provides a guiding function for the second linkage part 104 to control the movement trajectory of the adjacent mounting blocks 10, so that the two adjacent mounting blocks 10 can achieve linkage operation through the cooperation of the first linkage part 103 and the second linkage part 104; by connecting the mounting part 102 to the main frame 3, and connecting the first linkage part 103 and the second linkage part 104 to the opposite ends of the mounting part 102 along the first direction, the linkage cooperation between the first linkage part 103 and the second linkage part 104 can also drive the restraint member 2 installed on the mounting part 102 to move together.
[0217] In some embodiments, the restraint tray 100 further includes a drive mechanism and a locking mechanism. The drive mechanism is located at one end of the tray body 1 along a first direction and is movable relative to the tray body 1. The drive mechanism applies a driving force to the mounting block 10, causing the mounting block 10 to slide along the guide rod. This causes the mounting block 10 to slide along the guide rod with an object (e.g., a battery) placed in the restraint space 22, thereby applying a restraining force to the object within the restraint space 22 for constraint. The locking mechanism is located at one end of the tray body 1 along the first direction and can be used to lock the relative position of the mounting block 10 and the tray body 1.
