Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of module stacking technology, and in particular to a module stacking tooling. Background Technology
[0002] In current battery system projects, module stacking fixtures serve as key tools for assembling cells into modules, and their design flexibility and compatibility are particularly important. This is especially true for battery system projects with different capacity requirements (such as 32.5kWh, 25kWh, and 245kWh).
[0003] In existing technologies, due to differences in the number of battery cells, PACK assembly methods, and module designs, different projects have varying requirements for module capacity, typically employing combinations such as single-row 16-column, single-row 32-column, and double-row 32-column configurations. To meet the production needs of these different capacity modules, separate stacking processes are often required, leading to the parallel use of multiple tooling sets. This situation presents several problems. On the one hand, the parallel use of multiple tooling sets consumes a significant amount of storage space; on the other hand, frequent tooling switching between different projects makes it difficult to quickly adapt to product changes or new project requirements, severely impacting production efficiency and project flexibility.
[0004] Therefore, this application provides a tooling that adapts to modules of different capacities, solving the problem that independent stacked tooling cannot adapt to different project modules, and that switching back and forth between stacked tooling affects production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a module stacking fixture, which aims to optimize the stacking process, improve the adaptability to different modules, and avoid the need to switch back and forth between modules for different projects, thus affecting production efficiency.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a module stacking fixture, comprising:
[0007] Mounting plate;
[0008] At least one pair of side pressure members are respectively connected to opposite sides of the mounting plate;
[0009] Side pressure brackets are respectively connected to the opposing moving ends of the side pressure components;
[0010] A barrier is placed between the opposing side pressure brackets and connected to the mounting plate at one end of the side pressure brackets;
[0011] An end-pressing member, connected to the mounting plate, includes an end-pressing plate that is slidably disposed in a direction perpendicular to the plate surface of the barrier member.
[0012] In the above scheme, the end pressure components are set on both sides of the barrier component. The end pressure components can drive the end pressure plates to approach the barrier component, so that the end pressure plates simultaneously squeeze the module bodies on both sides of the barrier component, and together squeeze the module bodies against the barrier component. Under the joint action of the side pressure frames, the module bodies are stacked, which makes it easier to stack the number of modules for different projects and has a wider range of applications.
[0013] Furthermore, the side pressure frame includes a base plate and a first insulating plate connected in sequence, with the base plate mounted on the movable end of the side pressure member.
[0014] Furthermore, an extension plate, a side pressure plate, and a second insulation plate are sequentially provided on the side of the first insulation plate away from the base plate, and the extension plate is detachably connected to the first insulation plate.
[0015] Furthermore, the two ends of the extension plate are perpendicular to the first insulating plate and the side pressure plate, respectively.
[0016] Furthermore, the barrier includes an intermediate plate, which is mounted on the mounting plate, and an insulating substrate is optionally mounted on the side of the mounting plate facing the intermediate plate.
[0017] Furthermore, a positioning plate is detachably installed on one side wall of the intermediate plate, and a stiffening plate is connected to the side wall of the positioning plate away from the intermediate plate. Both the stiffening plate and the positioning plate are connected to the mounting plate.
[0018] Furthermore, the intermediate plate is provided with several through holes.
[0019] Furthermore, the end clamping member includes an end fixing seat, a second telescopic mechanism, and a connecting plate. The end fixing seat is mounted on the mounting plate, the second telescopic mechanism is placed on the end fixing seat, the connecting plate is connected to the moving end of the second telescopic mechanism, and the end of the connecting plate away from the second telescopic mechanism is connected to the end clamping plate.
[0020] Furthermore, an end plate is connected to the side of the end pressure plate away from the connecting plate.
[0021] Furthermore, a side plate is connected to one end of the end plate near the first insulating plate, and the side plate extends at least partially between the two adjacent first insulating plates.
[0022] The above technical solution has the following advantages:
[0023] This utility model employs a base plate, at least one pair of side pressure members, a side pressure frame, a barrier member, and an end pressure member in cooperation. The end pressure member presses the end pressure plate against the module body, making the module body press tightly against the barrier member. The pair of side pressure members drive the side pressure frame to push the module body, working together to stack and position the module bodies in different rows and columns to meet the needs of module bodies of different capacities, improving the adaptability to module bodies of different capacities, eliminating the need to switch according to different module bodies, and thus reducing production efficiency.

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the following specific embodiments are only used to explain this utility model and do not constitute a limitation on this utility model.
[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a module stacking fixture includes a mounting plate 1, at least one pair of side pressure members 2, side pressure frames 4, barrier members 5, and end pressure members 3. The at least one pair of side pressure members 2 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the mounting plate 1; the side pressure frames 4 are respectively connected to the opposite moving ends of the side pressure members 2; the barrier members 5 are placed between the opposite side pressure frames 4 and are connected to the mounting plate 1 at one end of the side pressure frames 4; the end pressure members 3 are connected to the mounting plate 1 and include an end pressure plate 34 that is slidably disposed along a direction perpendicular to the plate surface of the barrier members 5. The number of side pressure members 2 can be set to one or more pairs. When a pair of side pressure members 2 is set, a pair of end pressure members 3 is also set. In this application, it is preferred that two pairs of side pressure members 2 are set and installed on opposite sides of the mounting plate 1. At this time, two pairs of end pressure members 3 are set and installed on opposite sides of the barrier member 5. The two opposite side pressure members 2 have moving ends that move closer or further away from each other, which sequentially drive the side pressure frame 4 to move closer or further away, so that the module body 6 on the mounting plate 1 is pressed and restricted on the mounting plate 1. The barrier member 5 is between two adjacent side pressure frames 4, so that the module body 6 can abut against the barrier member 5. The end pressure member 3 can drive the end pressure plate 34 to move closer or further away from the barrier member 5, so that the module body 6 is squeezed toward the barrier member 5. The end pressure plate 34, a pair of side pressure frames 4 and the barrier member 5 together form a space to accommodate the module body 6.
[0035] Specifically, the side pressure member 2 includes a side fixed seat 21 and a first telescopic mechanism 22. The fixed seat is fixed to the mounting plate 1. The first telescopic mechanism 22 is installed on the side fixed seat 21. The side pressure frame 4 can be driven by the first telescopic mechanism 22 to press the module body 6, which facilitates the stacking operation of the module body 6. The first telescopic mechanism 22 can be driven by a cylinder, electric cylinder, screw rod, etc. In this application, it is preferred to use a screw rod to rotate and be placed on the side fixed seat 21. The moving end of the side pressure member 2 is realized by the first telescopic mechanism 22. The output end of the first telescopic mechanism 22 drives the end pressure plate 34 to approach the module body 6.
[0036] When two pairs of side pressure members 2 are selected in this application, the end pressure members 3 are set on both sides of the barrier member 5. The end pressure members 3 can drive the end pressure plate 34 to approach the barrier member 5, so that the end pressure plate 34 simultaneously squeezes the module body 6 on both sides of the barrier member 5, and together squeezes the module body 6 against the barrier member 5. Under the joint action of the side pressure frame 4, the module body 6 is stacked, which makes it easier to stack the number of modules for different projects and has a wider range of applications.
[0037] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in one embodiment of this application, the side pressure frame 4 includes a base plate 41 and a first insulating plate 411 connected in sequence. The base plate 41 is installed on the moving end of the side pressure member 2. When it is necessary to stack the double-row module bodies 6, such as double-row 32-column module bodies 6, the first telescopic mechanism 22 drives the base plate 41 to approach the module body 6, so that the module body 6 is fixed in the center. The first insulating plate 411 rests on the module body 6, improving the insulation effect.
[0038] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment of this application, an extension plate 42, a side pressure plate 43, and a second insulation plate 431 are sequentially arranged on the side of the first insulation plate 411 away from the base plate 41. The extension plate 42 is detachably connected to the first insulation plate 411. When it is necessary to stack a single row of module bodies 6, such as a single row of 16 columns of module bodies 6 or a single row of 32 columns of module bodies 6, the extension plate 42 is fixed to the first insulation plate 411 by means of bolts, pins, buckles, etc. The extension plate 42 drives the side pressure plate 43 and the second insulation plate 431 to move closer to the module body 6 to make up for the space of the single row of module bodies 6, and at the same time reduce the travel of the first telescopic mechanism 22.
[0039] Furthermore, the two ends of the extension plate 42 are perpendicular to the first insulating plate 411 and the side pressure plate 43, respectively. The structure of the extension plate 42 can be selected in various ways, such as using several cuboid plates or using U-shaped plates, such that one side of the U-shaped plate is perpendicular to the first insulating plate 411 or the side pressure plate 43, and the two ends of the U-shaped plate are perpendicular to the side pressure plate 43 or the first insulating plate 411.
[0040] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the barrier 5 includes an intermediate plate 51, which is mounted on the mounting plate 1. An insulating substrate 7 can be optionally mounted on the side of the mounting plate 1 facing the intermediate plate 51. When it is necessary to stack 16-column module bodies 6 or double-row 16-column module bodies 6, the insulating substrate 7 only needs to be installed in the area where stacking is required. For areas where stacking is not required, the insulating substrate 7 can be removed.
[0041] Specifically, a positioning plate 52 is detachably installed on one side wall of the intermediate plate 51. A stiffening plate 53 is connected to the side wall of the positioning plate 52 away from the intermediate plate 51. Both the stiffening plate 53 and the positioning plate 52 are connected to the mounting plate 1. Specifically, a groove can be preset on the insulating substrate 7 to facilitate the connection of the stiffening plate 53 and the positioning plate 52 to the mounting plate 1, so as to avoid the risk of deformation and damage to the insulating substrate 7 when the module body 6 is stacked. After stacking, the groove of the insulating substrate 7 can be filled to facilitate the joint stacking of the module bodies 6 on both sides. The positioning plate 52 is attached and fixed to the intermediate plate 51, and the stiffening plate 53 is bolted to one side of the positioning plate 52. Finally, the positioning plate 52 and the stiffening plate 53 are bolted to the mounting plate 1 to complete the abutment and pressing of the barrier 5 against the module body 6.
[0042] like Figures 5-7 As shown, PC spacers can be installed on the side of the intermediate plate 51 and the end plate 35 near the module body 6. The PC spacers are about 1.5mm thick and have double-layer adhesive backing. They are used to connect the module body 6 and the intermediate plate 51, or to connect the module body 6 and the end plate 35. They also serve to provide insulation and adhesion. The intermediate plate 51 has several through holes and several vertical through holes to facilitate the subsequent hoisting of the module body 6. Since the module body 6 will expand during charging and discharging, the intermediate plate 51 and the end plate 35, or the two end plates 35 together, press the module body 6 together to prevent the module body 6 from expanding and bulging due to charging and discharging. The several holes on the intermediate plate 51 and the end plate 35 facilitate the subsequent hoisting and positioning of the module body 6 to prevent it from shifting on the housing.
[0043] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the end-pressing component 3 includes an end-fixed base 31, a second telescopic mechanism 33, and a connecting plate 32. The end-fixed base 31 is mounted on the mounting plate 1, the second telescopic mechanism 33 is placed on the end-fixed base 31, and the connecting plate 32 is connected to the moving end of the second telescopic mechanism 33. The end of the connecting plate 32 away from the second telescopic mechanism 33 is connected to the end-pressing plate 34. The second telescopic mechanism 33 can be driven by a cylinder, an electric cylinder, a threaded rod, etc. In this application, a screw is preferably used and rotated on the end-fixed base 31. When the screw rotates, the end facing the module body 6 is the moving end, which drives the end-pressing plate 34 to press towards the module body 6.
[0044] Furthermore, the end plate 34 is connected to an end plate 35 on the side away from the connecting plate 32. The end plate 35 and the intermediate plate 51 are provided with the same through holes to facilitate the stacking process of the end plates 35 and prevent the module bodies 6 from stretching out after stacking. The top of the intermediate plate 51 can be connected to the mounting plate 1 through a crossbeam to ensure that the module bodies 6 can be evenly distributed on both sides of the insulating substrate 7. The length of the end plate 35 is selected according to the capacity of the module bodies 6 of different projects. If a single row of module bodies 6 is selected, the end plate 35 only needs to be the same size as the end face of the single row of module bodies 6; if a double row of module bodies 6 is selected, the end plate 35 needs to be the same size as the end face of the double row of module bodies 6.
[0045] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a side plate 36 is connected to one end of the end plate 35 near the first insulating plate 411. The side plate 36 wraps around the side of the module body 6, limits the two sides of the module body 6, and the end is riveted to the end plate 35, so that the module body 6 is centered, which makes it easier for the first insulating plate 411 or the second insulating plate 431 to squeeze the side of the module body 6.
[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
