Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of module battery production technology, and in particular to a clamping mechanism for installing a battery cover. Background Technology

[0002] When installing a modular battery, the final step is usually to seal the top cover and the battery compartment. After the top cover and the battery compartment are sealed, they need to be pressed together by a clamping mechanism to ensure a tight seal. If glue is applied to the connection, a certain amount of pressure must be maintained.

[0003] The clamping mechanism can press and maintain the pressure on the top cover of the module battery. However, different models of module batteries are different sizes. If each type of battery is equipped with a suitable clamping mechanism, it will result in high cost and large space occupation. Utility Model Content

[0020] In order to better understand the technical means of this utility model and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0021] See appendix Figure 1-6 As shown, a battery cover mounting clamping mechanism according to Embodiment 1 includes a frame, which includes a side rod 1 and a support column 11. A rectangular frame is formed by the measuring rod and the support column 11. The measuring rod is the connection between the two sides, and the support column 11 serves as a support leg.

[0022] A cover assembly mounted on a frame is capable of vertical reciprocating motion. The battery module housing can be pushed into the frame by a trolley, and then the top cover can be placed on the battery module housing. Finally, the cover assembly is installed to press the battery top cover 22 firmly.

[0023] A support component is provided along the length of the frame to support the cover assembly; the support component can support the cover assembly.

[0024] Several adjustment components are provided to adjust the height of the support component. The adjustment components are used to adjust the height of the support component, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the cover module, so as to facilitate the adjustment of battery modules with different thicknesses.

[0025] The support assembly includes two crossbeams 3 that are along the length of the frame and can move away from or close to each other; support rods 31 located at both ends of the crossbeams 3 along the width of the frame and fixedly connected to the frame; guide rails 32 located at both ends of the support rods 31; connectors 33 fixed at both ends of the crossbeams 3 and provided with guide sliders 34 that are slidably connected to the guide rails 32; and an installation assembly on the crossbeams 3 for installing the cover assembly.

[0026] Both ends of the crossbeam 3 can be mounted on the support rod 31 via the connector 33. When the spacing between the crossbeams 3 is appropriate, the cover assembly can be mounted on the mounting assembly to achieve the installation of the cover assembly. When the cover assembly is replaced due to the size of the battery, the spacing between the two crossbeams 3 can be adjusted to a suitable spacing, making it convenient to adjust the cover assembly according to different specifications of module batteries, thus improving practicality. Furthermore, the guide rail 32 and guide slider 34 make the adjustment even more convenient.

[0027] Furthermore, the cover assembly includes: a pressure plate 2 that can be mounted on the crossbeam 3 by means of an mounting assembly; an exposure groove 21 formed on the pressure plate 2; a battery cover 22 located in the exposure groove 21; and a plurality of pressure points 23 arranged sequentially along the inner circumferential surface of the exposure groove 21.

[0028] When the module battery is located in the frame via the trolley, the battery cover 22 can be placed on the module battery, and then the battery cover 22 is squeezed by the pressure point 23 on the pressure plate 2, thereby achieving pressure holding and clamping of the battery cover 22. The exposed groove 21 makes it easy to observe the position of the battery cover 22 and prevents deviation during clamping.

[0029] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes a first cylinder 4; a connecting flange 41 fixed to the output end of the first cylinder 4; and a fixing block 42 disposed at both ends of the support rod 31 and fixedly connected to the connecting flange 41.

[0030] When the first cylinder 4 is working, it can drive the fixed block 42 to reciprocate vertically through the connecting flange 41, thereby realizing the reciprocating motion of the support rod 31. Since the cross frame 3 is connected to the support rod 31 through the guide slide rail 32 and the guide slider 34, when the support rod 31 reciprocates vertically, it can also drive the cross frame 3 to reciprocate, thereby pressing down the battery cover 22.

[0031] Furthermore, a linear guide rail 43 is vertically provided on the support column 11, and a sliding block 44 is provided on the fixing block 42 that is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 43.

[0032] The linear guide 43 and the sliding block 44 are used to increase the stability of the support rod 31 during operation.

[0033] Furthermore, the mounting assembly includes a mounting block 5 fixed to the crossbeam 3; a second cylinder 51 located on the side of the mounting block 5 away from the crossbeam 3; and a support member 52 located at the output end of the second cylinder 51 and extending through the mounting block 5, the support member 52 being used to support the gland assembly when extended.

[0034] When the second cylinder 51 is working, it can retract the support member 52 into the mounting block 5, or conversely, it can extend the support member 52 so that the pressure cap assembly can be supported by the support member 52. The bottom of the crossbar 3 will contact the upper surface of the pressure cap assembly, which facilitates the application of downward pressure to the pressure cap contact. Furthermore, when the second cylinder 51 retracts the support member 52, the pressure cap assembly can be quickly disassembled, enabling quick replacement of the pressure cap assembly.

[0035] Furthermore, a third cylinder 53 is provided on one side of the mounting block 5, and a through hole 54 is provided on the mounting block 5 for the output end of the third cylinder 53 to move, and a limiting hole is provided on the support member 52 for the output end of the third cylinder 53 to pass through.

[0036] After the support member 52 extends, the output end of the third cylinder 53 can be inserted into the through hole 54 and enter the limiting hole, thereby limiting the support member 52 and preventing it from resetting.

[0037] Furthermore, a photoelectric sensor 55 is fixedly mounted on the mounting block 5, and a transmission component 56 for triggering the photoelectric sensor 55 is mounted on the support member 52.

[0038] When the support member 52 extends, it will drive the transmission member 56 to move. When it moves to the designated position, it will trigger the photoelectric sensor 55. Then, the photoelectric sensor 55 will send a signal to make the third cylinder 53 work, realize the limit of the support member 52, and notify the system that the cover assembly has been installed, so as to facilitate subsequent steps.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
