Description

An automated fixture for processing cooling plates for new energy vehicle batteries Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to machining fixtures, and in particular to an automated fixture for processing cooling plates for new energy vehicle batteries. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of new energy vehicles, people have higher and higher demands for car range and other aspects. The main factor affecting car range is the car battery. During operation, the battery temperature rises rapidly, affecting its discharge performance. To ensure that the car battery operates at a suitable temperature, a cooling device is usually installed on the battery pack. Existing cooling devices typically use cooling plates, which are usually made of thin aluminum profiles to reduce the overall size of the battery. Because aluminum profiles have a large width-to-thickness ratio, they are easily deformed during processing, resulting in lower processing precision. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automated fixture for processing cooling plates for new energy vehicle batteries.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an automated fixture for processing battery cooling plates of new energy vehicles, including a base plate and a positioning component disposed on the top of the base plate. The positioning component includes end support blocks located at the left and right ends of the top of the base plate, an intermediate support block located between the end support blocks, and an upper clamping assembly disposed on the base plate. The top of the intermediate support block and the end support blocks are provided with positioning grooves for accommodating battery cooling plates. The upper clamping assembly includes a top clamping corner cylinder disposed on the base plate, a pressure handle disposed on the top clamping corner cylinder, and a pressure head disposed on the pressure handle. The pressure head corresponds one-to-one with the end support blocks and the intermediate support blocks, and the bottom of the pressure head is provided with an elastic pressure block.

[0005] As a further improvement to this design, the top of both sides of the positioning groove is provided with a side guide slope, and the opposite end of the end support block is provided with an end positioning surface, and the top of the end positioning surface is provided with an end guide slope.

[0006] As a further improvement to this design, the base plate is provided with a side clamp assembly, which includes a side clamp base on the base plate, a side clamp cylinder on the side clamp base, and a side clamp plate on the side clamp cylinder. The extension direction of the side clamp cylinder points to one side of the battery cooling plate, and the pressing position of the side clamp assembly is located on the side of the battery cooling plate between the end support block and the intermediate support block.

[0007] As a further improvement to this design, an end-angle cylinder is provided on the opposite side of the end support block. The handle of the end-angle cylinder is located at the end of the battery cooling plate and presses the end of the battery cooling plate when clamped.

[0008] As a further improvement to this design, the base plate is provided with two sets of positioning components, which are arranged in parallel. The upper clamping assembly is located between the positioning components, and both ends of the pressing handle are provided with pressing heads, that is, the top clamping angle cylinder simultaneously presses the two battery cooling plates.

[0009] As a further improvement to this design, the top of the pressure head is provided with a connecting rod that is rotatably connected to the pressure handle. The rotation axis of the connecting rod is horizontal and parallel to the extension direction of the battery cooling plate. The bottom of the pressure block is an arc-shaped surface that is concave upward in the middle.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model supports and positions the battery cooling plate through end support blocks and middle support blocks to prevent deformation of the battery cooling plate during processing; the upper clamping assembly presses the battery cooling plate firmly onto the middle support blocks and end support blocks to prevent displacement of the battery cooling plate during processing, further ensuring processing accuracy and stability; the use of a corner cylinder as the power source for the pressure head enables automatic clamping, and facilitates the loading and unloading of the battery cooling plate after the clamp is opened; the elastic pressure block effectively prevents damage to the battery cooling plate.
