[0041] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, an adjustable battery module spacing structure is provided, including: a slide rail 1, a base positioning stage 5, a secondary positioning stage 6, a first direction positioning block 8, and a positioning plate 11. The slide rail 1 has a sliding connection end at its top; at least two base positioning platforms 5 are provided, which are adjacent to each other and slidably disposed on the sliding connection end of the slide rail 1, and the bottom end of the base positioning platform 5 is a sliding engagement end for connecting with the sliding connection end of the slide rail 1; a secondary positioning platform 6 is disposed on one side of an adjacent base positioning platform 5 and is slidably disposed on the sliding connection end of the slide rail 1; a first direction positioning block 8 is detachably disposed on the side ends of the base positioning platform 5 and the secondary positioning platform 6; and a positioning plate 11 includes a first connecting plate 1101 and a second connecting plate 1102, the bottom end of the first connecting plate 1101 is disposed on the slide rail 1, the top end of the first connecting plate 1101 is detachably connected between adjacent base positioning platforms 5, and the second connecting plate 1102 is detachably connected between the base positioning platform 5 and the secondary positioning platform 6.
[0042] The adjustable battery module spacing structure provided by this utility model features a base positioning platform 5 and a secondary positioning platform 6 that are slidably mounted on the sliding connection end of the slide rail 1. This allows the battery module spacing to be flexibly adjusted according to actual test requirements, facilitating the conduct of multiple sets of comparative tests under different spacing conditions. By setting at least two adjacent base positioning platforms 5, and detachably mounting first directional positioning blocks 8 on the sides of both the base positioning platforms 5 and the secondary positioning platforms 6, the battery modules can be effectively aligned and fixed, preventing displacement during testing and ensuring the accuracy of test data. Furthermore, the first and second connecting plates 1102 of the positioning plate 11 not only facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the structure, but the first connecting plate 1101 also provides a precise positioning and installation benchmark for the entire structure, ensuring its stability and the accuracy of measurement data.
[0043] Preferably, the sliding connection end of the slide rail 1 is composed of a protruding rail body with a T-shaped cross-section, and the bottom ends of the base positioning platform 5 and the secondary positioning platform 6 are provided with T-shaped grooves 13 for cooperating with the T-shaped protruding rail body 12. This not only achieves precise guidance and stable sliding, ensuring the acquisition of reliable test data, but also improves the load-bearing and vibration resistance through the large contact area between them, ensuring test safety.
[0044] Preferably, the slide rail 1 is composed of several fixed blocks 2, the top of the fixed block 2 is set as a sliding connection end, and each fixed block 2 has a mating port 3 and a mating block 4 at both ends, and the mating port 3 of any fixed block 2 and the mating block 4 of any fixed block 2 are detachably snapped together.
[0045] In this embodiment, users can freely choose the number and layout of the fixing blocks 2, and adjust the length and shape of the slide rail 1 according to actual needs, to meet the customized requirements of different application scenarios. Moreover, when a fixing block 2 is damaged or needs to be replaced, it is not necessary to replace the entire slide rail 1; only the problematic fixing block 2 needs to be replaced, which greatly saves costs and time. Furthermore, it does not require complex installation tools or professional skills; users can complete the assembly and disassembly of the slide rail 1 with simple manual operation, greatly improving work efficiency.
[0046] Preferably, the bottom of the slide rail 1 is provided with a positioning port 14, and the bottom end of the first connecting plate 1101 is engaged with the positioning port 14. This not only achieves precise positioning and enhances structural stability, ensuring reliable test data and process safety, but also simplifies the installation process and improves the installation effect.
[0047] Specifically, the first connecting plate 1101 and the second connecting plate 1102 are both detachably connected to adjacent base positioning stages 5 via snap-fit components 15, and are also detachably connected between the base positioning stage 5 and the secondary positioning stage 6. Through the snap-fit components 15, the first connecting plate 1101 and the second connecting plate 1102 can be easily connected or disconnected between the base positioning stage 5 and the secondary positioning stage 6, allowing the entire positioning system to be flexibly configured according to different application scenarios and requirements, greatly improving the applicability and flexibility of the structure.
[0048] Specifically, the snap-fit assembly 15 includes a transition block 1501 and a snap-fit 1502. The transition block 1501 is arranged parallel to the sides of the base positioning platform 5 and the secondary positioning platform 6, respectively. The snap-fit 1502 is symmetrically opened at one end of the transition block 1501. The positioning plate 11 snaps into the snap-fit 1502. The two ends of the first connecting plate 1101 snap into the corresponding snap-fit 1502 of the transition block 1501 of the adjacent base positioning platform 5. The two ends of the second connecting plate 1102 snap into the snap-fit 1502 of the transition block 1501 between the base positioning platform 5 and the secondary positioning platform 6.
[0049] In this embodiment, the first connecting plate 1101 and the second connecting plate 1102 are securely connected between the base positioning platform 5 and the secondary positioning platform 6 through the snap-fit action of the adapter block 1501 and the bayonet 1502, effectively preventing safety hazards caused by loosening or falling off. Furthermore, the snap-fit component 15 makes the installation of the connecting plate very simple and quick. The user only needs to align both ends of the connecting plate with the bayonet 1502 of the adapter block 1501 and gently push to achieve snap-fit, greatly shortening assembly time and improving work efficiency. Moreover, due to the detachability of the snap-fit component 15, the user can easily disassemble and reassemble the connecting plate according to different application scenarios and the spacing requirements of the battery modules, greatly improving the applicability of the structure.
[0050] Specifically, one end of the adapter block 1501 is designed in a cross shape. The sides of both the base positioning platform 5 and the secondary positioning platform 6 are provided with cross-shaped openings for mating with the cross-shaped end of the adapter block 1501, with the cross-shaped openings penetrating both the base positioning platform 5 and the secondary positioning platform 6. This mating design between the cross-shaped adapter block 1501 and the cross-shaped openings ensures precise installation of the connecting plate. Users simply need to align the cross-shaped end of the adapter block 1501 with the cross-shaped openings to easily achieve precise installation, greatly improving assembly accuracy and efficiency. When spacing adjustments are required, users can easily add or remove connecting plates as needed, avoiding the need to replace the adapter block 1501, thus meeting the connection requirements for different battery module spacings and improving the structural adaptability.
[0051] Preferably, it further includes a second directional positioning block 9. The first directional positioning blocks 8 are symmetrically disposed on one side of the base positioning platform 5 and the secondary positioning platform 6, respectively. The second directional positioning block 9 is perpendicular to the first directional positioning block 8 and symmetrically disposed on the other side of the base positioning platform 5 and the secondary positioning platform 6. The first directional positioning block 8 is connected to the base positioning platform 5 and the secondary positioning platform 6 by rotating fasteners 10, and the second directional positioning block 9 is also connected to the base positioning platform 5 and the secondary positioning platform 6 by rotating fasteners 10.
[0052] The added second-direction positioning block 9 cooperates with the first-direction positioning block 8, and both are connected to the base positioning stage 5 and the secondary positioning stage 6 via rotating fasteners 10 (such as screws), achieving omnidirectional and precise positioning of the battery module. When measuring the distance between different surfaces of the battery module, the corresponding first-direction positioning block 8 or second-direction positioning block 9 can be unscrewed after positioning the battery module. This not only facilitates operation but also helps to align the battery module, further improving the accuracy of the test.
[0053] Preferably, both the base positioning stage 5 and the secondary positioning stage 6 include a top block 701, a connecting block 702, and a bottom block 703 connected in sequence. The bottom end of the bottom block 703 is configured as a sliding engagement end for connecting with the sliding connection end of the slide rail 1. The top block 701 is used to hold the battery module, and the bottom block 703 is used to connect the block of the positioning plate 11. Since the bottom end of the bottom block 703 is a sliding engagement end, the integrity of the top block 701 is avoided, ensuring the stability of the battery module.
[0054] Preferably, the surfaces of the base positioning platform 5 and the secondary positioning platform 6 are provided with protruding anti-slip textures 16. The anti-slip textures 16 are used to prevent the battery from sliding off the surfaces of the base positioning platform 5 and the secondary positioning platform 6. In this embodiment, the anti-slip textures 16 can also be arranged on the first direction positioning block 8 and the second direction positioning block 9.
[0055] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model.
