Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of battery technology, specifically relating to an auxiliary tooling for loading battery cell modules into a box. Background Technology

[0002] Batteries are a core component of electric vehicles, typically consisting of a casing and battery cells arranged within it. During battery assembly, the cells need to be placed into the casing in a specific pattern. Application number 202411579708.7 discloses a battery casing and a method for inserting the cells into it. This application discloses "a support beam installed within the battery side frame, which provides support to the battery side frame when the battery pack receives a lateral impact, thereby resisting the lateral impact and reducing the risk of overall damage to the battery pack."

[0003] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 3 The diagram shown is an exploded view of the battery cell module and tray assembly. Figure 4 The diagram illustrates the process of placing battery modules into a tray. In actual production, the battery modules are placed into the box in two stages, requiring that the modules placed in both stages maintain the same height and be horizontally centered. The tray includes a tray bottom and multiple partition beams arranged on the tray bottom. The battery modules are clamped at both ends by grippers, and after being pressed down by 2-4mm, they are placed vertically downwards between the partition beams, typically to a depth of 1 / 3 of the battery module's height. Subsequently, the grippers are slowly released, and the battery modules spring back and are suspended on the partition beams. Finally, a pressure-sealing fixture presses them into the bottom of the tray, where they are clamped together by the partition beams in pairs, thus securing the battery modules. However, during placement, the battery modules push against the partition beams, causing them to deform under pressure. Furthermore, adopting the improved partition beam design in "A Battery Box and its Placement Method" requires modifying the structure of each tray, increasing the cost of placing the battery modules into the box. Therefore, an auxiliary placement fixture for the battery modules needs to be designed. Utility Model Content

[0006] In this embodiment of the application, the adjustment assembly includes two adjustment blocks connected to the pad block, and the two adjustment blocks are provided with adjustment holes. The adjustment assembly also includes an adjustment screw and an adjustment member. The adjustment screw passes through the two opposite adjustment holes in sequence and is screwed to the adjustment member.

[0026] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model and the prior art, the specific implementation methods of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative effort. Furthermore, the design orientation only indicates the relative positional relationship between the components, not the absolute positional relationship.

[0027] This utility model embodiment provides an auxiliary tooling for inserting battery cell modules into a box. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 It mainly includes pad 2 and adjustment component 3.

[0028] In this embodiment, the auxiliary mounting fixture for battery cell modules includes two pads 2 and an adjusting assembly 3 connected to the two pads 2. Each pad 2 has a space 1 for a partition beam. The two pads extend along a first direction, which is... Figure 1 In the Y-axis direction, when using the tooling, first clip the partition beam on the tray into the partition beam placement space 1, and then use the adjusting component 3 to adjust the two pads 2 in the second direction (the second direction is...). Figure 1 The pad 2 moves towards the tray along the X-axis (in the X-axis direction) to make it abut against the tray, thus forming a square space for placing the battery cell module. Then, the grippers clamp the large surfaces at both ends of the battery cell module, press it down by 2-4mm, and then place it vertically downward into the space formed by the battery cell module auxiliary boxing fixture and the tray. Because the partition beam is located in the partition beam placement space 1 when the battery cell module is placed in the box, the battery cell module is prevented from pushing the partition beam, thus ensuring the integrity of the partition beam shape. In addition, the battery cell module auxiliary boxing fixture can be reused on multiple trays, thereby saving the cost of battery cell module boxing.

[0029] In one possible implementation, the adjusting component 3 includes adjusting blocks 31, adjusting screws 32, and adjusting members 33, which are the same number as the pad blocks 2. The adjusting blocks 31 are detachably connected to the pad blocks 2. The adjusting blocks are provided with adjusting holes. The adjusting screws 32 pass through two opposite adjusting holes in sequence and are screwed to the adjusting members 33. By rotating the adjusting members 33, the relative position of the adjusting members 33 and the adjusting screws 32 can be adjusted to adjust the distance between the two adjusting blocks 31 in the second direction.

[0030] Furthermore, the adjusting screw 32 is arranged on the side of the partition beam placement space 1 away from the bottom of the tray. When the battery cell module is put into the box, the battery cell module first contacts the adjusting screw 32 and then falls onto the tray. By arranging the adjusting screw 32 on the side of the partition beam placement space 1 away from the bottom of the tray, the battery cell module is prevented from contacting the partition beam when it is put into the box, thus ensuring the integrity of the partition beam shape.

[0031] Preferably, there are two adjusting screws 32 arranged on the side of the partition beam placement space 1 away from the bottom of the tray, so that the four adjusting screws 32 on one side of two adjacent partition beam placement spaces 1 form an inlet channel, which guides the battery cell module inlet process.

[0032] In one possible implementation, the battery cell module auxiliary box loading tooling also includes a limiting component 4, which is used to limit the position of the tray in the first direction. By setting the limiting component 4 and the adjusting component 3, the position of the tray in the first direction and the second direction is limited, thereby preventing the position of the battery cell module from shifting during the lowering process.

[0033] For details, please refer to Figure 1 The limiting component 4 includes a pallet fixing limiting block 41 and a pallet movable fixing block arranged along the first direction. Both the pallet fixing limiting block 41 and the pallet movable fixing block are detachably connected to the transport platform. The pallet fixing limiting block 41 and the pallet movable fixing block abut against different sides of the pallet, thereby limiting the position of the pallet in the first direction.

[0034] Furthermore, the pallet movable fixing block is provided with a waist-shaped hole, through which the pallet movable fixing block is fixed to the transport platform, so as to adjust the position of the pallet movable fixing block to accommodate pallets of different sizes.

[0035] In one possible implementation, the battery cell module auxiliary box loading fixture further includes a fixture fixing component 5. One side of the fixture fixing component 5 is connected to the pad block 2, and the other side is connected to the transport platform. The fixture fixing component 5 is used to fix the battery cell module auxiliary box loading fixture on the transport platform.

[0036] Specifically, the tooling fixing component 5 includes two right-angle fixing components 51, which are arranged along the second direction on both sides of the pallet. One end of the right-angle fixing component 51 is detachably connected to the pad block 2, and the other end is detachably connected to the transport platform. By setting the two right-angle fixing components 51 to fix the position of the pad block 2, the pad block 2 is prevented from moving when the battery cell module is placed into the box, thereby improving the stability of the battery cell module when it is placed into the box.

[0037] Preferably, the right-angle fastener 51 has multiple waist-shaped holes arranged side by side.
