Detailed Implementation

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a high-strength clip tooling for producing aluminum shells of power battery cells includes a base plate 1. At least one set of clip-type tooling 2 is provided on the base plate 1. Each set of clip-type tooling 2 consists of several clip-type tooling 2 arranged in a straight line. Each clip-type tooling 2 includes two first protective plates 4 symmetrically arranged with bottom support plates 3. The bottom support plates 3 are fixed on the base plate 1. The first protective plates 4 are vertically erected on the bottom support plates 3. Second protective plates 5 are provided on opposite sides of the first protective plates 4. The second protective plates 5 are vertically arranged and perpendicular to the first protective plates 4. The outer walls of the first protective plates 4 and the second protective plates 5 are also provided with outer protective plate reinforcement structures 6. The bottom support plate 3 is provided with support plate reinforcement structures 7. The first protective plates 4 are also provided with inner protective plate reinforcement structures 8.

[0024] In this utility model, each set of clip-type fixtures on the base plate is composed of several clip-type fixtures, which allows this application to prevent multiple battery cell aluminum shells at one time, thereby increasing the number of aluminum shells during production, reducing the number of loading and unloading times, and improving production efficiency. The outer reinforcement structure 6 on the first and second guard plates that make up the clip-type fixtures can increase the overall strength of the first and second guard plates. The support plate reinforcement structure 7 can increase the strength of the bottom support plate 3 that makes up the clip-type fixtures. The inner reinforcement structure 8 can increase the strength of the first guard plate that makes up the clip-type fixtures, so as to prevent the clip-type fixtures from being damaged during production operations.

[0025] Specifically, the first guard plate 4, the second guard plate 5, and the bottom support plate 3 are integrally injection molded from high-strength plastic, which is PPS plastic. PPS plastic is a high-strength engineering plastic with the scientific name polyphenylene sulfide. Using PPS plastic to make the first guard plate 4, the second guard plate 5, and the bottom support plate 3 can increase the strength of the clip-on tooling from the material perspective.

[0026] Specifically, the outer reinforcing structure 6 of the protective plate includes a horizontally arranged first reinforcing rib 9 and a vertically arranged second reinforcing rib 10, which are arranged in a grid pattern. The arrangement of the first reinforcing rib 9 and the second reinforcing rib can increase the overall strength of the first and second protective plates.

[0027] Specifically, the internal reinforcement structure 8 of the guard plate includes a first support rod 11 vertically arranged in the middle of the inner sidewall of the first guard plate 4. The first support rod 11 is made of high-strength metal and is fixed to the first guard plate 4 by several bolts. The first support rod 11 can increase the strength and bending resistance of the first guard plate, and the high-strength metal can be high-carbon steel.

[0028] Preferably, the bottom support plate 3 is detachably fixed to the base plate 1 by a number of bolts. The detachable bottom support plate by a number of bolts allows for easy assembly and disassembly.

[0029] Specifically, the support plate reinforcement structure 7 includes a horizontally arranged second support rod 12, which is fixed to the bottom support plate 3 by several bolts. Third support rods 13 are also provided on both sides of the second support rod 12. The height of the third support rods 13 is higher than that of the second support rod 12, and the third support rods 13 are fixed to the bottom support plate 3 by countersunk bolts. Both the second support rod 12 and the third support rod 13 are made of high-strength metal. The second support rod increases the overall strength of the bottom support plate and ensures the connection strength between the two bottom support plates that make up the two clip-type tooling pieces. The high-strength metal can be high-carbon steel.

[0030] Preferably, a positioning plate 14 is further provided in the middle of the base plate 1, the positioning plate 14 abutting against the inner side of the bottom support plate 3 located on the inner side, and a handle 15 is also provided on the outer side wall of the first guard plate 4. The positioning plate can be positioned when the clip-type tooling is installed on the base plate, and the handle can facilitate handling.

[0031] Specifically, the width of the second guard plate 5 gradually increases from top to bottom.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Each set of clip-type fixtures on the base plate is composed of several clip-type fixtures, which allows this application to prevent multiple aluminum shells of battery cells at one time, thereby increasing the number of aluminum shells during production, reducing the number of loading and unloading times, and improving production efficiency. The outer reinforcement structure 6 of the first and second guard plates that make up the clip-type fixtures can increase the overall strength of the first and second guard plates. The support plate reinforcement structure 7 can increase the strength of the bottom support plate 3 that makes up the clip-type fixtures. The inner reinforcement structure 8 of the guard plate can increase the strength of the first guard plate that makes up the clip-type fixtures, so as to prevent the clip-type fixtures from being damaged during production operations.

[0033] The use of PPS plastic to make the first guard plate 4, the second guard plate 5, and the bottom support plate 3 can increase the strength of the cartridge tooling from the material. The setting of the first reinforcing rib 9 and the second reinforcing rib can increase the overall strength of the first guard plate and the second guard plate. The first support rod 11 can increase the strength and bending resistance of the first guard plate. The bottom support plate can be detached by several bolts for easy assembly and disassembly. The setting of the second support rod can increase the overall strength of the bottom support plate and ensure the connection strength of the two bottom support plates that make up the two cartridge tooling pieces.

[0034] The positioning plate can be positioned when the magazine-type tooling is installed on the bottom plate, and the handle makes it easy to move.

[0035] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0036] Although this article frequently uses terms such as base plate 1, clip-type tooling 2, bottom support plate 3, first guard plate 4, second guard plate 5, outer reinforcement structure of guard plate 6, support plate reinforcement structure 7, inner reinforcement structure of guard plate 8, first reinforcing rib 9, second reinforcing rib 10, first support rod 11, second support rod 12, third support rod 13, positioning plate 14, handle 15, etc., these terms are used merely for the convenience of describing and explaining the essence of this utility model; interpreting them as any kind of additional limitation would be contrary to the spirit of this utility model.
