Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery assembly technology, and in particular to a cover plate insertion device. Background Technology

[0002] A battery typically consists of a battery, a casing, and a cover structure. The battery is housed within the casing, and the cover structure is positioned at the open end of the casing to close it. The cover structure usually includes a cover plate and a current collector arranged in parallel, which are electrically connected and mechanically supported by connecting tabs.

[0003] During the assembly of the cover plate structure, the manifold plate must first be installed into the housing. Then, the connecting piece is bent inwards into the housing to align the cover plate with the housing. Finally, the cover plate is fixedly connected to the housing. Existing technology relies on manual operation to bend the connecting piece, pre-assembling the cover plate structure into the housing before applying pressure.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented, for example, in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0072] In this application, the terms "exemplarily" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplarily" or "for example" in this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of terms such as "exemplarily" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0073] As described in the background section, a battery typically includes a battery, a casing, and a cover structure. The battery is housed within the casing, and the cover structure is positioned at the open end of the casing to close it. The cover structure typically includes a cover plate and a current collector arranged in parallel, which are electrically connected and mechanically supported by connecting tabs.

[0074] During the assembly of the cover plate structure, the manifold is first installed into the housing, then the connecting piece is bent inwards to align the cover plate with the housing, and finally the cover plate is fixedly connected to the housing. Current technology relies on manual bending of the connecting piece, pre-assembling the cover plate structure into the housing before applying pressure.

[0075] However, manual operation is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the connecting piece may spring back and the cover plate may not be accurately positioned when pressure is applied later.

[0076] To overcome the shortcomings of manual operation, a cover plate insertion fixture has been introduced into the relevant technology to assist in the assembly of the cover plate. For cover plates without manifolds, the cover plate insertion fixture can effectively achieve the vertical pressing operation of the cover plate; however, for cover plates with manifolds, it is still necessary to use a robot or robotic arm to assist in bending the connecting pieces.

[0077] The complex actions required necessitate the coordinated operation of multiple devices, resulting in a complex structure for the cover plate insertion tooling, a large footprint, and inconvenient maintenance.

[0078] In view of this, embodiments of this application provide a cover plate insertion device, including a fixed base, a movable base, and a sliding structure; the fixed base is used to install the battery body; the movable base extends along a first direction; the movable base and the fixed base are arranged along a second direction; the sliding structure includes a sliding member and a clamping member; the sliding member can be slidably disposed on the movable base along the first direction, and the sliding member moves closer to or away from the fixed base along the first direction; the clamping member is used to connect the cover plate, and the clamping member can be slidably disposed on the sliding member; during the process of the sliding member moving toward the fixed base, the clamping member moves relative to the sliding member along the second direction to align the cover plate with the battery body, and the first direction and the second direction form an angle.

[0079] By setting a sliding structure, the sliding component and the clamping component move in coordination. When the sliding component moves in the first direction, the clamping component can generate displacement in the second direction, which can drive the cover plate to move so that the cover plate is aligned with the battery body. This realizes the automatic alignment of the cover plate and the battery body and the automatic bending of the connecting piece, reducing the complexity of manual operation and improving assembly efficiency and accuracy. Moreover, the structure is simple in design, easy to maintain, occupies little space, and is highly adaptable, and can adapt to battery bodies and cover plates of different specifications.

[0080] The technical solution of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments.

[0081] Combination Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application embodiment provides a cover plate insertion device, including a fixed base 100, a movable base 200, and a sliding structure 300. The fixed base 100 is used to install the battery body 80; the movable base 200 extends along a first direction; the movable base 200 and the fixed base 100 are arranged along a second direction; the first direction and the second direction form an angle.

[0082] Understandably, the mounting bracket 100 provides a stable reference position, which helps ensure the stability of the battery body 80 during assembly and avoids inaccurate assembly of the cover 90 due to movement of the battery body 80. The stability of the mounting bracket 100 allows for more precise alignment and assembly of the subsequent cover 90 with the battery body 80.

[0083] It should be noted that the first direction can be vertical, and the first direction is related to... Figure 3 The second direction is parallel to the Y-axis; the second direction can be horizontal, and the second direction is parallel to... Figure 3 The X-axis is parallel to the first direction. The angle between the first and second directions can be 90°.

[0084] The movable seat 200 extends along the first direction, and the extension direction of the movable seat 200 is consistent with the vertical direction. The movable seat 200 and the fixed seat 100 are arranged along the second direction, which helps to achieve precise alignment between the cover plate 90 and the battery body 80 during the assembly process, and ensures that the cover plate 90 can accurately cover the battery body 80 during assembly.

[0085] In some embodiments, the sliding structure 300 includes a slider 310 and a clamping member 320; the slider 310 is slidably disposed on the movable seat 200 along a first direction, and the slider 310 moves closer to or further away from the fixed seat 100 along the first direction; the clamping member 320 is used to connect the cover plate 90, and the clamping member 320 is slidably disposed on the slider 310; during the movement of the slider 310 toward the fixed seat 100, the clamping member 320 moves relative to the slider 310 along a second direction to align the cover plate 90 with the battery body 80.

[0086] Specifically, when the slider 310 descends relative to the movable seat 200 along the first direction, the slider 310 can move vertically toward the fixed seat 100 to approach the battery body 80 disposed on the fixed seat 100, thereby driving the cover plate 90 disposed on the clamping member 320 to approach the battery body 80.

[0087] Simultaneously, as the sliding member 310 moves toward the fixed base 100, the clamping member 320 also moves horizontally relative to the sliding member 310. The clamping member 320 can drive the cover plate 90 to approach the battery body 80 in the horizontal direction to align with the battery body 80. During this process, the connecting piece 91 connecting the cover plate 90 and the current collector 92 will bend towards the inside of the battery body 80 housing as the cover plate 90 moves upward toward the battery body 80.

[0088] After the cover plate 90 is aligned with the battery body 80, the sliding member 310 continues to descend relative to the moving seat 200 in the first direction, which can drive the pressing member 320 to continue moving in the first direction to press the cover plate 90 into the top of the battery body 80 housing, thereby realizing the assembly of the cover plate 90 into the housing.

[0089] Specifically, the cover plate insertion device provided in this application embodiment, through the coordinated movement of the sliding member 310 and the clamping member 320, can drive the cover plate 90 to move closer to the battery body 80, realizing automatic alignment of the cover plate 90 and the battery body 80 and automatic bending of the connecting piece 91, reducing the complexity of manual operation and improving assembly efficiency and accuracy. It also features a simple structural design, easy maintenance, small footprint, and strong adaptability, capable of accommodating batteries of different specifications (such as round or square batteries).

[0090] Combination Figures 2 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the clamping member 320 is provided with a clamping part 321, and the clamping member 320 can fix the cover plate 90 through the clamping part 321; when the sliding member 310 moves away from the fixed seat 100 in the first direction, the clamping part 321 moves closer to the movable seat 200 relative to the fixed seat 100; during the process of the sliding member 310 moving closer to the fixed seat 100, the clamping part 321 moves away from the movable seat 200 in the second direction.

[0091] Understandably, the clamping part 321 is specifically designed to secure the cover plate 90, ensuring that the cover plate 90 remains stable during assembly and guaranteeing precise alignment and secure connection with the battery body 80.

[0092] Since the cover plate 90 and the current collector plate 92 are initially eccentric, after the current collector plate 92 is placed inside the housing of the battery body 80, the current collector plate 92 can be coaxially set with the housing of the battery body 80. At this time, there is a certain height difference between the top of the cover plate 90 and the top of the housing of the battery body 80, and the axis of the cover plate 90 and the housing of the battery body 80 are offset.

[0093] When the battery body 80 is installed on the fixed base 100, the axis of the housing of the battery body 80 and the axis of the cover plate 90 can be controlled to be distributed along the second direction, and the cover plate 90 is set close to the movable base 200 relative to the battery body 80.

[0094] When the sliding member 310 moves away from the fixed base 100 in the first direction, the pressing part 321 is positioned close to the movable base 200 relative to the fixed base 100, and the pressing part 321 moves away from the fixed base 100 in the second direction. When fixing the cover plate 90, the pressing part 321 can adapt to the initial eccentricity between the cover plate 90 and the housing of the battery body 80, providing space and conditions for the initial positioning and preparation of the cover plate 90 for assembly.

[0095] During the assembly process, the sliding member 310 moves closer to the fixed seat 100 in the first direction, while the pressing member 320 moves away from the moving seat 200 in the second direction. Then the pressing member 321 can drive the cover plate 90 to move closer to the fixed seat 100 in the second direction, so that the cover plate 90 is aligned with the housing of the battery body 80 installed on the fixed seat 100.

[0096] By moving the slider 310, the clamping part 321 can automatically adjust its position during the assembly process to ensure that the cover plate 90 is precisely aligned with the battery body 80, and at the same time complete the automatic bending of the connecting piece 91.

[0097] Specifically, as the sliding member 310 moves away from or closer to the fixed base 100 in the first direction, by controlling the movement path of the pressing part 321, the cover plate 90 can automatically move towards the battery body 80 to align with the battery body 80. During this process, the connecting piece 91 between the cover plate 90 and the current collector 92 can also be automatically bent, reducing the complexity of manual intervention and improving the assembly efficiency and accuracy of the cover plate 90.

[0098] Combination Figure 8As shown, in some other embodiments, when the slider 310 moves away from the fixed seat 100 in the first direction, the pressing part 321 moves away from the movable seat 200 relative to the fixed seat 100; as the slider 310 moves toward the fixed seat 100, the pressing part 321 moves toward the movable seat 200 in the second direction.

[0099] Since the cover plate 90 and the current collector plate 92 are initially eccentric, after the current collector plate 92 is placed inside the housing of the battery body 80, the current collector plate 92 can be coaxially set with the housing of the battery body 80. At this time, there is a certain height difference between the top of the cover plate 90 and the top of the housing of the battery body 80, and the axis of the cover plate 90 and the housing of the battery body 80 are offset.

[0100] When the battery body 80 is installed on the fixed base 100, the axis of the housing of the battery body 80 and the axis of the cover plate 90 can be controlled to be distributed along the second direction, and the cover plate 90 is set away from the movable base 200 relative to the battery body 80.

[0101] When the sliding member 310 moves away from the fixed seat 100 in the first direction, the pressing part 321 is positioned away from the moving seat 200 relative to the fixed seat 100, and the pressing part 321 moves away from the fixed seat 100 in the second direction. When fixing the cover plate 90, the pressing part 321 can adapt to the initial eccentric state between the cover plate 90 and the housing of the battery body 80, providing space and conditions for the initial positioning and preparation of the cover plate 90 for assembly.

[0102] During the assembly process, the sliding member 310 moves closer to the fixed seat 100 in the first direction, while the pressing member 320 moves closer to the movable seat 200 in the second direction. Then the pressing member 321 can drive the cover plate 90 to move closer to the fixed seat 100 in the second direction, so that the cover plate 90 is aligned with the housing of the battery body 80 installed on the fixed seat 100.

[0103] By moving the slider 310, the clamping part 321 can automatically adjust its position during the assembly process to ensure that the cover plate 90 is precisely aligned with the battery body 80, and at the same time complete the automatic bending of the connecting piece 91.

[0104] Specifically, as the sliding member 310 moves away from or closer to the fixed base 100 in the first direction, by controlling the movement path of the pressing part 321, the cover plate 90 can automatically move towards the battery body 80 to align with the battery body 80. During this process, the connecting piece 91 between the cover plate 90 and the current collector 92 can also be automatically bent, reducing the complexity of manual intervention and improving the assembly efficiency and accuracy of the cover plate 90.

[0105] In some embodiments, the slider 310 is provided with a guide groove 3121; the clamping member 320 is provided with a sliding part 322, which is slidably disposed in the guide groove 3121.

[0106] The sliding part 322 can slide within the guide groove 3121, thereby driving the movement of the clamping member 320. This allows the movement of the clamping member 320 to be precisely controlled, ensuring that the cover plate 90 can be accurately aligned with the battery body 80 during assembly and fixed in the final position.

[0107] For example, the sliding part 322 can be a pulley or a bearing. The sliding part 322 can roll in the guide groove 3121 to reduce the frictional resistance during the movement and drive the clamping member 320 to move smoothly.

[0108] Specifically, the guide groove 3121 provides a clear path for the movement of the clamping member 320, allowing it to move smoothly along a predetermined trajectory; while the sliding part 322 within the guide groove 3121 ensures the smoothness and accuracy of the movement. Through the cooperation of the sliding part 322 of the clamping member 320 and the guide groove 3121 of the sliding member 310, precise movement and positioning of the cover plate 90 during the assembly process can be achieved.

[0109] Combination Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, in a first direction, the first end 31211 of the guide groove 3121 is close to the fixed base 100, and the second end 31212 of the guide groove 3121 is away from the fixed base 100; in a second direction, the first end 31211 of the guide groove 3121 is close to the movable base 200 relative to the second end 31212 of the guide groove 3121; during the movement of the slider 310 toward the fixed base 100, the sliding part 322 slides from the first end 31211 of the guide groove 3121 toward the second end 31212 of the guide groove 3121.

[0110] The guide groove 3121 has two ends. In the first direction, the first end 31211 is located close to the fixed seat 100, and the second end 31212 is located away from the fixed seat 100. In the second direction, the first end 31211 is located close to the movable seat 200, and the second end 31212 is located away from the movable seat 200.

[0111] Therefore, it can be understood that the guide groove 3121 is an inclined groove, which can provide guidance for the movement of the clamping member 320 during the movement of the sliding member 310.

[0112] The guide groove 3121 can be a straight guide groove or an arc-shaped guide groove. It can be used to allow the sliding part 322 to move along the guide groove 3121, thereby limiting the movement trajectory of the clamping member 320.

[0113] By setting the end position of the guide groove 3121 on the first side, a clear start and end position is provided, the clamping member 320 can realize the change of height position, and the movement path is clearly defined, which makes it easy to control the movement of the clamping member 320.

[0114] By setting the end position of the guide groove 3121 in the second direction, the clamping member 320 can achieve a change in horizontal position, thereby helping the cover plate 90 to achieve precise alignment with the battery body 80.

[0115] When the slider 310 moves toward the fixed base 100, the sliding part 322 slides from the first end 31211 to the second end 31212 within the guide groove 3121. By controlling the sliding path of the sliding part 322 through the guide groove 3121, the pressing part 320 can be gradually adjusted in the second direction during the movement of the slider 310, so as to move closer to the fixed base 100 and push the cover plate 90 toward the battery body 80 provided on the fixed base 100, thereby achieving precise alignment between the cover plate 90 and the battery body 80.

[0116] Understandably, since the guide groove 3121 is provided with a second end 31212, when the sliding part 322 reaches the second end 31212, the cover plate 90 can move above the fixing seat 100 and align with the battery body 80. At this time, if the sliding member 310 continues to move closer to the fixing seat 100 in the first direction, the sliding member 310 will drive the pressing member 320 to continue to move downward. And because the second end 31212 restricts the sliding part 322, the pressing member 320 no longer moves in the second direction. The pressing member 320 can only move closer to the fixing seat 100 in the first direction, which can make the cover plate 90 press against the battery body 80, realizing the assembly of the cover plate 90 into the casing.

[0117] Combination Figure 8 As shown, in some other embodiments, in a first direction, the first end 31211 of the guide groove 3121 is close to the fixed base 100, and the second end 31212 of the guide groove 3121 is away from the fixed base 100; in a second direction, the first end 31211 of the guide groove 3121 is away from the movable base 200 relative to the second end 31212 of the guide groove 3121.

[0118] Understandably, the guide groove 3121 has two ends. In the first direction, the first end 31211 is positioned close to the fixed base 100, and the second end 31212 is positioned away from the fixed base 100. In the second direction, the first end 31211 is positioned away from the movable base 200, and the second end 31212 is positioned close to the movable base 200. Therefore, it can be understood that the guide groove 3121 is an inclined groove, which can provide guidance for the movement of the clamping member 320 during the movement of the sliding member 310.

[0119] When the slider 310 moves toward the fixed base 100, the sliding part 322 slides from the first end 31211 to the second end 31212 within the guide groove 3121. By controlling the sliding path of the sliding part 322 through the guide groove 3121, the pressing part 320 can be gradually adjusted in the second direction during the movement of the slider 310, so as to move closer to the moving base 200 and push the cover 90 toward the battery body 80, thereby achieving precise alignment between the cover 90 and the battery body 80.

[0120] Understandably, since the guide groove 3121 is provided with a second end 31212, when the sliding part 322 reaches the second end 31212, the cover plate 90 can move above the fixing seat 100 and align with the battery body 80. At this time, if the sliding member 310 continues to move closer to the fixing seat 100 in the first direction, the sliding member 310 will drive the pressing member 320 to move downward. And because the second end 31212 restricts the sliding part 322, the pressing member 320 will no longer move in the second direction. The pressing member 320 can only move closer to the fixing seat 100 in the first direction, which can make the cover plate 90 press against the battery body 80, thus realizing the assembly of the cover plate 90 into the casing.

[0121] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, for example, the guide groove 3121 is configured as an arc-shaped guide groove, which protrudes away from the fixed seat 100 in the first direction.

[0122] By designing the guide groove 3121 as an arc, the sliding part 322 is allowed to move non-linearly during the movement, which can provide greater flexibility during the sliding process, allowing the clamping part 320 to be finely adjusted in different directions, thereby achieving more precise alignment and fixation.

[0123] Understandably, during the movement of the drive cover 90, since the top end of the connecting piece 91 is connected to the cover 90 and the bottom end of the connecting piece is connected to the current collector 92 and is located on the battery body 80, some of the connecting pieces 91 will move with the cover 90, causing the connecting pieces 91 to be folded.

[0124] When the connecting piece 91 is flipped toward the battery body 80, its top end will flip around the bottom end as the center, so as to fold toward the position of the battery body 80. The swing trajectory of the top end of the connecting piece 91 is arc-shaped, and the arc-shaped trajectory protrudes away from the fixing seat 100. The length of the connecting piece 91 is the radius of the arc-shaped trajectory.

[0125] The guide groove 3121 is shaped to protrude in a direction away from the fixed base 100, and the radius of the guide groove 3121 can be set to be consistent with the length of the connecting piece 91, so as to adapt to the flipping trajectory of the connecting piece 91, so as to realize the effective folding of the connecting piece 91, ensure the alignment effect of the cover plate 90 and the battery body 80, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of assembly.

[0126] Combination Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the slider 310 includes a main body 311 and two connecting portions 312 disposed on the main body 311, the connecting portions 312 being provided with guide grooves 3121.

[0127] The main body 311 provides a base for moving along the movable seat 200. Guide grooves 3121 are respectively provided on the two connecting parts 312 of the main body 311, and the clamping member 320 can move relative to the main body 311 and the connecting parts 312 through the guide grooves 3121 and the connecting parts 312.

[0128] The clamping member 320 is located between the two connecting parts 312. There are multiple sliding parts 322. Some of the sliding parts 322 are slidably engaged with the guide groove 3121 of one of the connecting parts 312, and the remaining sliding parts 322 are slidably engaged with the guide groove 3121 of the other connecting part 312.

[0129] Understandably, the two ends of the clamping member 320 facing the connecting part 312 can slide and engage with the guide groove 3121 through the sliding part 322, which allows the clamping member 320 to maintain balanced and consistent movement of each part during the sliding process, reducing offset and error, and ensuring the precise alignment and fixation of the cover plate 90.

[0130] Specifically, in the second direction, the main body 311 may have two sides that are arranged opposite to each other, one side is arranged facing the movable seat 200 and slides relative to the movable seat 200, and the other side is arranged facing the fixed seat 100, and the connecting part 312 is arranged on the side of the main body 311 facing the fixed seat 100.

[0131] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the pressing part 321 is provided with a receiving groove 3211 for accommodating the cover plate 90; in the first direction, the opening of the receiving groove 3211 faces the fixing seat 100.

[0132] The pressing part 321 can be the bottom wall of the pressing member 320. The receiving groove 3211 is a groove formed on the bottom wall of the pressing member 320. The shape of the receiving groove 3211 is adapted to the cover plate 90, and the cover plate 90 can be embedded in the receiving groove 3211.

[0133] By providing the receiving groove 3211, the cover plate 90 can be limited when the clamping member 320 moves in the second direction, so that the cover plate 90 can move together with the clamping member 321 in the second direction to align with the battery body 80.

[0134] In some embodiments, the clamping member 320 is provided with an air intake channel 323, the first end 31211 of the air intake channel 323 is connected to the air extraction device, and the second end 31212 of the air intake channel 323 is connected to the receiving groove 3211.

[0135] By providing an air intake channel 323 in the clamping member 320, the cover plate 90 can be flexibly fixed in the receiving groove 3211 by utilizing the adsorption effect of the airflow.

[0136] By connecting the suction channel 323 to the receiving groove 3211, the suction force can be directly applied to the position of the cover plate 90, thereby firmly adsorbing the cover plate 90 into the receiving groove 3211 and ensuring that the cover plate 90 maintains a stable and precise position during the assembly process.

[0137] By setting the air intake channel 323, the cover plate 90 can be limited when the clamping member 320 moves in the first direction, so that the cover plate 90 can move in the first direction together with the clamping part 321 without falling off, which facilitates alignment with the battery body 80.

[0138] In addition, airflow adsorption can adapt to objects of different shapes and sizes, and can fit battery bodies 80 and cover plates 90 of different specifications; and the airflow adsorption has a fast response speed, which facilitates the quick assembly and disassembly of cover plates 90.

[0139] Combination Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the sliding structure 300 includes a guide 330; the guide 330 is slidably connected to the slide 310, and the guide 330 is movable relative to the slide 310 in a first direction; the clamping member 320 is slidably connected to the guide 330, and the clamping member 320 is movable relative to the guide 330 in a second direction.

[0140] Both the clamping member 320 and the sliding member 310 can slide in contact with the guide member 330. During the relative movement of the clamping member 320 and the sliding member 310, the guide member 330 can move adaptively, making the movement of the clamping member 320 relative to the sliding member 310 smoother. Moreover, the movement path of the clamping member 320 relative to the sliding member 310 is controllable, which helps to improve the stability and accuracy of the alignment and assembly process of the cover plate 90.

[0141] In some embodiments, in a first direction, the guide member 330 is located on the side of the clamping member 320 away from the fixed base 100; one of the guide member 330 and the clamping member 320 is provided with a second slider 324, and the other of the guide member 330 and the clamping member 320 is provided with a second guide rail 331, which can slide within the second slider 324 in a second direction.

[0142] The guide member 330 is located above the clamping member 320, which can avoid affecting the clamping part 321 located below the clamping member 320, so that the clamping part 321 can drive the cover plate 90 to move towards the battery body 80 provided on the fixed base 100.

[0143] For example, the clamping member 320 is provided with a second slider 324, and the guide member 330 is provided with a second guide rail 331, the extension direction of the second guide rail 331 being parallel to the second direction.

[0144] The cooperation between the second guide rail 331 and the second slider 324 ensures that the sliding process of the clamping member 320 along the second direction is stable and controllable, thereby enabling the cover plate 90 to move towards the battery body 80 along with the clamping member 320 to align with the battery body 80.

[0145] There may be two second sliders 324, which are distributed on both sides of the clamping member 320 along the second direction; correspondingly, there are also two second guide rails 331, and the second guide rails 331 correspond one-to-one with the second sliders 324. The two second guide rails 331 are set on the bottom wall of the guide member 330 and distributed on both sides of the guide member 330 along the second direction.

[0146] The combination of multiple second sliders 324 and second guide rails 331 helps to ensure that the various parts of the clamping member 320 can maintain balanced and consistent movement during the sliding process, reducing offset and error.

[0147] Furthermore, a third guide rail 3111 is provided on the side of the main body 311 facing away from the movable seat 200, and the extension direction of the third guide rail 3111 is parallel to the first direction; correspondingly, a third slider 332 is provided on the side of the guide member 330 facing the movable seat 200. The guide member 330 can be slidably connected to the slider 310 through the cooperation of the third slider 332 and the third guide rail 3111, thereby realizing the movement of the guide member 330 along the first direction.

[0148] Understandably, the relative displacement between the guide member 330 and the sliding member 310, as well as between the clamping member 320 and the guide member 330, is achieved through the cooperation of the slider and the guide rail. This ensures the stability and clarity of the movement trajectory, contributing to the accuracy and efficiency of the fit between the cover plate 90 and the battery body 80. Furthermore, the slider and guide rail combination has a simple structure, is easy to maintain, and has high applicability.

[0149] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the movable seat 200 is provided with at least one first guide rail 210, which extends along a first direction; the slider 310 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 210, and the slider 310 can move closer to or further away from the fixed seat 100 along the first direction.

[0150] The slider 310 may include a first slider 314 disposed on the main body 311. The first slider 314 is located on the side of the main body 311 facing the movable seat 200 so as to slide and engage with the first guide rail 210.

[0151] For example, two first guide rails 210 and two first sliders 314 can be provided, and they correspond one to one. By cooperating with multiple first guide rails 210 and first sliders 314, it is helpful to ensure that the various parts of the slider 310 can maintain balanced and consistent movement during the sliding process, reduce offset and error, and enable the slider 310 to move freely along the first direction.

[0152] Understandably, the displacement of the slider 310 in the first direction is achieved through the cooperation of the slider and the guide rail, which ensures smooth and stable movement. Furthermore, the structure of the slider and guide rail cooperation is simple, easy to maintain, and highly adaptable.

[0153] In some embodiments, the movable seat 200 is provided with a driving member 220 and a driving screw 230; the driving screw 230 extends along a first direction, and the driving member 220 can drive the driving screw 230 to rotate relative to the movable seat 200 about the first direction; the sliding member 310 is provided with a connecting block 313, the connecting block 313 is sleeved on the driving screw 230, and is threadedly connected to the driving screw 230.

[0154] In a specific implementation, the drive member 220 can drive the drive screw to rotate, thereby causing the connecting block 313 located on the drive screw 230 to move along the first direction, thereby causing the sliding member 310 to move along the first direction, so as to align the cover plate 90 with the battery body 80 through the movement of the clamping member 320.

[0155] The connecting block 313 is disposed on the main body 311, and the connecting block 313 is located on the side of the main body 311 facing the movable seat 200.

[0156] By integrating a drive element 220 and a drive screw 230 onto the movable base 200, the drive element 220 can convert rotary motion into linear motion, thereby controlling the sliding element 310. The drive screw 230 is threaded into the connecting block 313, enabling high-precision linear motion, which allows for more precise control of the displacement of the clamping element 320, so that after the cover plate 90 is aligned with the battery body 80, the cover plate 90 can be accurately installed into the housing of the battery body 80.

[0157] Furthermore, the lead screw drive method has a high load capacity and a certain self-locking capability. When pressing the cover plate 90 into the battery body 80 housing, it can provide greater pressure and maintain a stable position when no external force is applied, which can ensure the assembly effect of the cover plate 90 and the battery body 80 housing.

[0158] In addition, the screw drive method is characterized by its simple structure and ease of maintenance, making it highly applicable.

[0159] Combination Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the fixing base 100 includes a first clamping member 110 and a second clamping member 120; the first clamping member 110 and the second clamping member 120 can move closer to or further away from each other, and the first clamping member 110 and the second clamping member 120 are used to clamp and fix the battery body 80.

[0160] Understandably, by using the fixing seat 100 to clamp the battery body 80, the battery body 80 can be effectively supported and fixed, reducing the movement and shaking of the battery body 80 during the assembly process, thereby reducing assembly errors.

[0161] The mounting base 100 is configured to consist of a first clamping member 110 and a second clamping member 120, which can move closer to or further away from each other, so that the battery body 80 can be installed and removed conveniently.

[0162] The relative movement capability of the first clamping member 110 and the second clamping member 120 also enables the clamping members to be adjusted according to the size of the battery body 80 to accommodate battery bodies 80 of different sizes, ensuring effective clamping and fixing of the battery body 80, and improving the adaptability and versatility of the device.

[0163] In some embodiments, the first clamping member 110 is provided with a first groove 111, and the second clamping member 120 is provided with a second groove 121; when the first clamping member 110 and the second clamping member 120 are close to each other, the first groove 111 and the second groove 121 are opposite to each other and are used to accommodate the battery body 80.

[0164] Specifically, the first groove 111 and the second groove 121 provide a partially embedded space for the battery body 80. The second groove 121 cooperates with the first groove 111 to provide double-sided support for the battery body 80, so that the battery body 80 can be clamped more firmly.

[0165] In practice, when the first clamping member 110 and the second clamping member 120 approach each other, the two grooves face each other and form a complete accommodating space for placing the battery body 80, so that the battery body 80 can be accurately positioned between the two grooves, providing stable support and fixation, and ensuring the stability of the battery body 80 during the assembly process.

[0166] In some embodiments, the fixing base 100 includes a connector 130; the first end 31211 of the first clamping member 110 and the first end 31211 of the second clamping member 120 are rotatably connected; the second end 31212 of the first clamping member 110 and the second end 31212 of the second clamping member 120 are fixed or detached through the connector 130.

[0167] By introducing a connector 130 into the fixed base 100, a flexible connection and fixation between the first clamping member 110 and the second clamping member 120 can be achieved, thereby adapting to different operational needs.

[0168] By providing a rotatable connection at the first end 31211 of the first clamping member 110 and the second clamping member 120, the system can realize the rotational movement of the clamping members, thereby conveniently opening or closing the fixing seat 100 to load or unload the battery body 80.

[0169] By using the connector 130 to fix or detach the first clamping member 110 and the second clamping member 120 at their second ends 31212, the fixing seat 100 can be locked or released quickly, thereby improving operational efficiency and convenience.

[0170] Among them, one of the first clamping member 110 and the second clamping member 120 is a fixed member, which is fixed on the mounting surface and the relative position of the fixed member and the movable seat 200 is fixed; the other is a movable member, which can rotate relative to the fixed member to realize the opening or closing of the fixed seat 100.

[0171] It should be noted that the cover plate housing device can be equipped with a base, and both the fixed base 100 and the movable base 200 can be set on the base; of course, the fixed base 100 and the movable base 200 can also be directly set on the surface to be installed (such as the ground).

[0172] For example, the first end 31211 of the first clamping member 110 and the first end 31211 of the second clamping member 120 can be rotatably connected by a hinge structure or a latch structure. The connector 130 can be a latch lock.

[0173] Finally, it should be noted that those skilled in the art, upon considering the specification and practicing the application disclosed herein, will readily conceive of other embodiments of the present application. The embodiments of this application are intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the embodiments of this application that follow the general principles of the embodiments of this application and include common knowledge or customary technical means in the art not disclosed in the embodiments of this application.

[0174] It should be understood that the embodiments of this application are not limited to the precise structures described above and shown in the accompanying drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from their scope.
