[0002] Power batteries typically refer to batteries used in electric vehicles, power tools, energy storage systems, and other fields. These batteries provide energy to drive electric motors or store energy for release when needed. The U-shaped frame side panel protective film for power batteries is a special film material used to protect the side panels of battery packs. It is mainly used during the assembly, transportation, and storage of battery modules to prevent external contamination, scratches, damage, or other factors that may adversely affect the batteries.

[0003] In the traditional installation process of side panel protective film, the protective film is usually not accurately aligned with the target position, requiring workers to manually adjust the position of the protective film. This not only increases operation time and reduces production efficiency, but also increases the error of human operation, making it difficult to meet installation requirements. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic positioning and guiding mechanism for the protective film of the U-shaped frame side plate of a power battery. This mechanism can assist the protective film in automatically and accurately aligning and installing with the protective side plate, which not only reduces the time for manual adjustment and improves production speed, but also avoids human error and ensures that the installation position of the protective film meets the requirements.

[0005] The specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An automatic positioning and guiding mechanism for the protective film of a U-shaped frame side panel of a power battery includes a protective frame and protective side panels. The protective side panels are installed on both sides of the protective frame, and positioning and guiding mechanisms are provided on both sides of the protective side panels. The positioning and guiding mechanisms include a base, a vertical plate, a vertical groove, a bidirectional threaded rod, connecting blocks, connecting plates, and guide members. The vertical plate is fixedly connected to the top of the base. The vertical groove is opened on the inner side of the vertical plate. One end of the bidirectional threaded rod is connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the vertical groove through a bearing, and the top end of the bidirectional threaded rod extends to the top of the vertical plate. Both connecting blocks are slidably connected to the inside of the vertical groove, and both connecting blocks are threaded to the surface of the bidirectional threaded rod. The two connecting plates are respectively fixedly connected to the inner sides of the two connecting blocks, and the two guide members are respectively fixedly connected to the inner sides of the two connecting blocks.

[0007] Preferably, the front and rear sides of the upright plate are provided with sliding grooves, and both ends of one side of the guide member are fixedly connected with auxiliary rods, the other end of the auxiliary rods being slidably connected to the inside of the sliding groove.

[0008] Preferably, a knob is fixedly connected to the top end of the bidirectional threaded rod, and the knob is circular in shape.

[0009] Preferably, guide grooves are provided on the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the vertical groove, and protrusions are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the connecting block, with the protrusions slidably connected inside the guide grooves.

[0010] Preferably, the inner side of the guide member is provided as an inclined surface, and the inclination angle of the inclined surface is thirty-five degrees.

[0011] Preferably, an auxiliary roller is installed inside the guide member, and the auxiliary roller is made of an elastic material.

[0012] Preferably, scale lines are provided on both the front and rear sides of the upright plate, and the scale lines are vertically distributed on the front and rear sides of the upright plate.

[0013] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:

[0014] In this invention, when installing the protective film on the side surface of the protective side plate, the protective film can be placed inside the two guide members first, and then the protective film can be attached to the outside of the protective side plate. During the attachment and installation, the protective film can be automatically aligned with the protective side plate under the guidance of the inclined surface of the guide members. Through the automatic alignment function of the guide mechanism, the manual adjustment time can be reduced, human error can be avoided, the installation process can be accelerated, and thus production efficiency can be improved. At the same time, when installing protective films of different sizes, the bidirectional threaded rod can be adjusted by rotating the knob. The rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod can drive the two threaded connecting blocks and the connecting plate to move relative to each other or outward at the same time. When the connecting plate moves, it can drive the two guide members to move relative to each other or outward at the same time, thereby adjusting the distance between the two guide members. This can assist in the positioning of protective films of different sizes, enabling more accurate positioning of films of different sizes and improving the versatility and adaptability of the mechanism.

[0021] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.

[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an automatic positioning and guiding mechanism for the protective film of a U-shaped frame side panel of a power battery includes a protective frame 1 and a protective side panel 101. The protective side panel 101 is installed on both sides of the protective frame 1, and a positioning and guiding mechanism is provided on both sides of the protective side panel 101. The positioning and guiding mechanism includes a base 201, a vertical plate 202, a vertical groove 203, a bidirectional threaded rod 204, a connecting block 205, a connecting plate 206, and a guide member 207. The vertical plate 202 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 201. The vertical groove 203 is opened on the inner side of the vertical plate 202. One end of the bidirectional threaded rod 204 is connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the vertical groove 203 through a bearing, and the top end of the bidirectional threaded rod 204 extends to the top of the vertical plate 202. Both connecting blocks 205 are slidably connected to the vertical plate 206. Inside the groove 203, two connecting blocks 205 are threaded to the surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 204. Two connecting plates 206 are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the two connecting blocks 205, and two guide members 207 are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the two connecting blocks 205. With the cooperation of the positioning and guiding mechanism, the protective film can be automatically positioned and aligned with the protective side plate 101 by being guided down by the inclined surfaces on the inner sides of the two guide members 207, reducing the time required for manual adjustment and improving the installation efficiency of the protective film. At the same time, by rotating the bidirectional screw to adjust the distance between the two guide members 207, it can accommodate protective films of different sizes. This flexibility allows the same mechanism to handle various specifications of membrane materials, improving the versatility and adaptability of the equipment.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, sliding grooves 301 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the upright plate 202. Auxiliary rods 302 are fixedly connected to both ends of one side of the guide member 207. The other end of the auxiliary rod 302 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding groove 301. When the guide member 207 moves, the guide member 207 can drive the auxiliary rods 302 at both ends to slide vertically inside the sliding groove 301. The right side can make the guide member 207 more stable when moving, and avoid the guide member 207 from deviating due to excessive speed or uneven movement, thus ensuring the precise control of the positioning guide mechanism during operation.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a knob 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the bidirectional threaded rod 204. The knob 4 is circular in shape, which makes it easy for the user to hold and rotate it with their fingers, making the operation more comfortable and convenient. At the same time, the operation of rotating the bidirectional threaded rod 204 by the knob 4 can achieve fine adjustment. The circular knob 4 usually has good rotation control capability, allowing the user to adjust the position of the threaded rod more accurately, and thus finely adjust the distance between the two guides 207.

[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, guide grooves 501 are provided on the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the vertical groove 203. Protrusions 502 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the connecting block 205. The protrusions 502 are slidably connected to the inside of the guide grooves 501. When the bidirectional threaded rod 204 drives the two threaded connecting blocks 205 to slide inside the vertical groove 203, the connecting block 205 can drive the protrusions 502 to slide vertically inside the vertically opened guide grooves 501, making the sliding of the connecting block 205 in the vertical groove 203 more stable, avoiding the shaking or deviation caused by lateral asymmetrical forces, and making the movement of the entire mechanism more stable.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the inner side of the guide 207 is set as an inclined surface with an inclination angle of 35 degrees. The inclined surface on the inner side of the guide 207 allows the protective film to slide smoothly on the outer side of the protective side plate 101 along the direction of the inclined surface, ensuring a more accurate fit between the protective film and the protective side plate 101. It also avoids the jamming or deviation from the track that may occur in traditional installation methods, improves installation efficiency, and reduces the problem of improper installation of the protective film caused by human error or improper operation.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, an auxiliary roller 6 is installed inside the guide 207. The auxiliary roller 6 is made of elastic material. The elastic auxiliary roller 6 can provide a smooth contact surface between the protective film and the guide 207, reduce friction, and avoid damage or wear to the protective film during installation. This can ensure that the film surface remains intact and extend its service life.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, scale lines 7 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the upright plate 202. The scale lines 7 are vertically distributed on the front and rear sides of the upright plate 202. When adjusting the distance between the two guide members 207, the scale lines 7 can be used to help the user to observe and understand the distance between the two guide members 207 more intuitively, ensuring that the two guide members 207 can be quickly and accurately adjusted to the required position.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When installing the protective film on the side surface of the protective side plate 101, the protective film can be placed inside the two guide members 207 first, and then the protective film is attached to the outside of the protective side plate 101. During the attachment and installation, the protective film can be automatically aligned with the protective side plate 101 under the guidance of the inclined surface of the guide member 207. Through the automatic alignment function of the guide mechanism, the manual adjustment time can be reduced, human error can be avoided, the installation process can be accelerated, and thus production efficiency can be improved. At the same time, when installing protective films of different sizes, the bidirectional threaded rod 204 can be adjusted by rotating the knob 4. The rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 204 can drive the two threaded connecting blocks 205 and the connecting plate 206 to move relative to each other or outward at the same time. When the connecting plate 206 moves, it can drive the two guide members 207 to move relative to each other or outward at the same time, thereby adjusting the distance between the two guide members 207. This can assist in the positioning of protective films of different sizes, enabling films of different sizes to be positioned more accurately, and improving the versatility and adaptability of the mechanism.

[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
