Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery formation testing technology, and in particular to a square battery unconstrained tray. Background Technology

[0002] The lithium battery industry has also developed significantly. Under these circumstances, the requirements for the production effect and efficiency of lithium batteries are becoming increasingly stringent. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the effective control of the cell production process to improve the efficiency and capacity of the production line. Among these processes, the formation process of square lithium batteries currently involves a relatively complex and costly restraint tray.

[0003] In existing technologies, prismatic lithium batteries all use aluminum casings. During the formation process, the aluminum casing will bulge locally under the pressure of the formation process. Existing battery restraint trays include multiple battery compartments for fixing lithium batteries. Spring clips are set on both sides of the opening at the top of the battery compartment to fix the lithium battery in the battery compartment. This method uses the spring force to restrain the shape of the battery. This restraint method cannot monitor whether the battery compartment is in close contact with the battery, and cannot effectively prevent the battery from expanding and bulging. After the formation process, if the battery is not effectively restrained, the aluminum casing will bulge locally. In the subsequent assembly process, the bulging of the casing of a single battery will cause changes in the assembly clearance groove, resulting in poor assembly and failure to assemble the battery pack.

[0004] Chinese patent CN114388915A discloses a square battery restraint tray, comprising: a support frame including a first end plate assembly, a second end plate assembly, a base plate, and a support shaft, wherein the first end plate assembly and the second end plate assembly are parallel and facing each other, respectively located at the two ends of the square battery restraint tray; the base plate is disposed between the first end plate assembly and the second end plate assembly for supporting the bottom of the battery; the support shaft is located above the base plate, and its two ends are respectively connected to the first end plate assembly and the second end plate, for mounting a battery separator assembly; a battery separator assembly, disposed between the first end plate assembly and the second end plate assembly, including end battery separator assemblies and a plurality of parallel middle battery separator assemblies, wherein there are two sets of end battery separator assemblies, wherein the first set of end battery separator assemblies is movably disposed on the base plate, and the second set of battery separator assemblies is fixedly connected to the base plate and / or the second end plate assembly; the middle battery separator assemblies are equally spaced between the two sets of end battery separator assemblies, and the end battery... The separator assembly, the middle battery separator assembly, and the first end plate assembly and the second end plate assembly are parallel; the end battery separator assembly and the middle battery separator assembly are slidably sleeved on the support shaft, and the two sets of end battery separator assemblies are interconnected with the adjacent middle battery separator assembly and with adjacent sets of middle battery separator assemblies through equally spaced connectors; and a spacing adjustment assembly is disposed between the battery separator assembly and the first end plate assembly, including a first adjusting separator, a second adjusting separator, and a plug assembly. The first adjusting separator and the second adjusting separator are slidably sleeved on the support shaft between the battery separator assembly and the first end plate assembly. The first adjusting separator is fixedly connected to the first end plate assembly, and the second adjusting separator is fixedly connected to the adjacent end battery separator assembly; the plug assembly is detachably disposed between the first adjusting separator and the second adjusting separator, and is used to adjust the clamping degree of the battery separator assembly on the battery, which solves the problems of simple structure, convenient adjustment, good clamping effect, and low cost.
