Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of battery manufacturing technology, and more specifically, relates to a battery carrier device and battery manufacturing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the rapid development of new energy technologies, battery devices are being used more and more widely in daily life and industry. For example, new energy vehicles equipped with battery devices have been widely used, and battery devices are also being increasingly applied in the field of energy storage.

[0003] During the manufacturing process of battery devices, the battery devices need to be placed in battery carriers for transport. However, since different models of battery devices have different sizes, traditional battery carriers are usually only compatible with a single size of battery device, resulting in poor compatibility. Therefore, multiple battery carriers are needed to accommodate different battery device sizes, leading to a large number of battery carriers required and a significant increase in the production cost of battery devices. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a battery carrier device and battery manufacturing equipment to solve the technical problem of high production cost of battery devices in related technologies.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application embodiment is as follows: a battery carrying device is provided, including a carrying mechanism and a positioning mechanism. The carrying mechanism includes a carrying body having a carrying area for placing a battery device. The positioning mechanism includes a first positioning seat and a first positioning member. The first positioning seat is mounted on the carrying body and can move along a first direction toward or away from the carrying area. The first direction is perpendicular to the height direction of the battery carrying device. The first positioning member is mounted on the first positioning seat and is used to limit the position of the battery device. The first positioning member includes a mounting base and a positioning part. The mounting base is mounted on the first positioning base, and the positioning part is mounted on the mounting base and can move along the first direction toward or away from the carrying area on the mounting base. The positioning part is used to position and cooperate with the battery device to limit the position of the battery device.

[0006] The battery carrier device provided in this application embodiment has at least the following beneficial effects: The carrier mechanism in the battery carrier device provided in this application embodiment is used to carry the battery device. The first positioning seat can move along a first direction towards or away from the carrier area on the carrier body, thereby driving the first positioning member to move along the first direction towards or away from the carrier area. This allows the position of the first positioning member to be adjusted according to the size of the battery device located on the carrier area, so that the position of the first positioning member can adapt to the position of the positioning structure of the battery device located on the carrier area, thus achieving positioning of battery devices of different sizes. Simultaneously, when the size difference between different models of battery devices is small, the position of the positioning part can be adjusted only on the mounting base along the first direction, without needing to adjust the position of the first positioning seat along the first direction on the carrier body, simplifying the position adjustment operation of the first positioning member. Thus, the positioning mechanism in the above-mentioned battery carrier device can be applied to battery devices of different sizes, effectively improving the compatibility of the battery carrier device, thereby effectively reducing the number of battery carrier devices required and effectively reducing the production cost of the battery device.

[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the first positioning member is capable of reciprocating on the first positioning seat along a second direction, which is perpendicular to the height direction of the battery carrying device and intersects with the first direction.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the position of the first positioning member can be adjusted not only along the first direction, but also along the second direction, so that the positioning mechanism can better adapt to the position of the positioning structure of the battery device located on the bearing area, and further improve the compatibility performance of the battery bearing device.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the positioning mechanism includes at least two first positioning elements, and both of the at least two first positioning elements are mounted on a first positioning seat.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, not only can the position of the battery device be more effectively restricted, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the battery carrier device, but also the position adjustment operation of at least two first positioning members on the same side of the battery carrier device can be performed to position the battery device located in the bearing area, thereby improving the ease of use of the battery carrier device.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, at least two first positioning members are arranged along a second direction and are capable of reciprocating on a first positioning seat along the second direction. The second direction is perpendicular to the height direction of the battery carrying device and intersects with the first direction.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the positions of each first positioning component can be adjusted along the second direction, thereby enabling the positioning mechanism to better adapt to the position of the positioning structure of the battery device located on the bearing area, and further improving the compatibility performance of the battery bearing device.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, a guide structure is provided on the supporting body, the guide structure extends along a first direction, and a first positioning seat is movably installed on the guide structure.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, not only can the first positioning seat move more stably along the first direction, but the displacement of the first positioning seat in other directions besides the first direction is also improved, thereby improving the position adjustment accuracy of the first positioning component and effectively improving the reliability of the battery carrying device.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the supporting mechanism further includes a second positioning member disposed on the supporting body, the second positioning member being used to restrict the first positioning seat to the preset position when the first positioning seat moves to the preset position.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the situation where the first positioning seat shifts after moving to the preset position is improved, the position adjustment accuracy of the first positioning component is improved, and thus the reliability of the battery carrying device is effectively improved.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, the support mechanism includes multiple support members, which are detachably mounted on the support area and arranged sequentially along a second direction. The second direction is perpendicular to the height direction of the battery support device and intersects with the first direction.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the number of carrier components can be increased or decreased according to the size of the battery device along the second direction, so that the carrier mechanism can be adapted to battery devices of different sizes, further improving the compatibility of the battery carrier device, thereby further reducing the number of battery carrier components required and further reducing the production cost of the battery device.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, the first positioning member is used to be inserted into the battery device along the height direction of the battery carrier to limit the position of the battery device.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the position of the battery device can be more effectively restricted, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the battery carrier device.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, the positioning mechanism further includes a second positioning seat disposed opposite to the first positioning seat along a first direction. The second positioning seat is mounted on the bearing body and can move along the first direction toward or away from the bearing area.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, after the first positioning seat is moved to the preset position, the second positioning seat can be moved by the same distance in the opposite direction to the moving direction of the first positioning seat, so that the first positioning seat and the second positioning seat are symmetrically distributed on the bearing body along the first direction, thereby improving the situation of the battery bearing device shifting its center of gravity and reducing the risk of the battery bearing device tilting.

[0025] In some embodiments of this application, the second positioning seat and the first positioning seat are interlocked along a first direction.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, not only can the position adjustment range of the first positioning seat be increased, but the structure of the positioning mechanism can also be made more compact, thereby reducing the volume of the battery carrying device.

[0027] In some embodiments of this application, a first positioning seat is provided with a plurality of first positioning holes arranged sequentially along a first direction, and a second positioning seat is provided with a plurality of second positioning holes arranged sequentially along the first direction. The positioning mechanism further includes a third positioning member, which is used to be inserted into the first positioning holes and the second positioning holes that are directly opposite each other, so as to limit the relative position of the first positioning seat and the second positioning seat.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the relative position of the first positioning seat and the second positioning seat can be limited when the first positioning seat is moved to a preset position, which improves the situation where the relative position of the first positioning seat and the second positioning seat is offset and improves the reliability of the battery carrying device.

[0029] In some embodiments of this application, the supporting mechanism further includes a fourth positioning member disposed on the supporting body, the fourth positioning member being used to restrict the second positioning seat to the preset position when the second positioning seat moves to the preset position.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, the situation where the second positioning seat shifts after moving to the preset position is improved, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the battery carrying device.

[0031] In some embodiments of this application, the battery carrier device further includes a drive mechanism for driving the carrier mechanism to move.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive mechanism can drive the carrier mechanism to move to a preset position, which facilitates the transfer of the battery device.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, the support mechanism further includes a plurality of movable wheels, which are mounted on the bottom of the support body. The bottom of the support body has a receiving space for accommodating the drive mechanism.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, it is not only easier for the drive mechanism to drive the carrier mechanism to move, but also makes the structure of the battery carrier device more compact and effectively reduces the volume of the battery carrier device.

[0035] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a battery manufacturing apparatus, including a battery carrier device as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0060] Currently, with the rapid development of new energy technologies, battery devices are being used more and more widely in daily life and industry. For example, new energy vehicles equipped with battery devices have been widely used, and battery devices are also being increasingly applied in the field of energy storage.

[0061] During the manufacturing process of battery devices, the battery devices need to be placed in battery carriers and then transferred between different production stations using these carriers. During this transfer, positioning mechanisms within the battery carriers are used to restrict the position of the battery devices, reducing the risk of displacement or even falling off the carriers during transport.

[0062] However, since different battery models have different sizes, the positioning mechanism in traditional battery carriers can usually only be adapted to a single size of battery, resulting in poor compatibility. Therefore, multiple battery carriers need to be equipped according to the size of different battery devices, which leads to a large number of battery carriers and a significant increase in the production cost of the battery devices.

[0063] Based on the above considerations, in order to reduce the production cost of battery devices, the battery carrier device provided in this application provides a carrier mechanism for carrying the battery device. The first positioning seat can move along a first direction towards or away from the carrier area on the carrier body, thereby driving the first positioning member to move along the first direction towards or away from the carrier area. This allows the position of the first positioning member to be adjusted according to the size of the battery device located on the carrier area, so that the position of the first positioning member can adapt to the position of the positioning structure of the battery device located on the carrier area, thus enabling positioning of battery devices of different sizes. Simultaneously, when the size differences between different models of battery devices are small, the position of the positioning part can be adjusted only on the mounting base along the first direction, without needing to adjust the position of the first positioning seat along the first direction on the carrier body, simplifying the position adjustment operation of the first positioning member. Thus, the positioning mechanism in the above-mentioned battery carrier device can be applied to battery devices of different sizes, effectively improving the compatibility of the battery carrier device, thereby effectively reducing the number of battery carrier devices required and effectively reducing the production cost of the battery device.

[0064] The battery carrier device provided in this application embodiment can be used to carry battery devices.

[0065] The battery device mentioned in the embodiments of this application may include one or more battery cell assemblies for providing voltage and capacity. A battery cell assembly may include multiple battery cells, which are connected in series, parallel, or mixed connections via a busbar.

[0066] In some embodiments, a battery cell assembly is typically formed by arranging multiple battery cells.

[0067] As an example, a battery cell assembly can be a battery module, which is formed by arranging and fixing multiple battery cells together to form an independent module. As another example, a battery module can be formed by bundling multiple battery cells together with cable ties.

[0068] In some embodiments, the battery device may be a battery pack, which includes a housing and one or more individual battery cell assemblies housed within the housing.

[0069] As an example, the battery cell assembly can be a battery module, which can be housed in a housing by fixing the battery module in the housing.

[0070] As an example, battery cell assemblies can also be housed in a housing by directly fixing multiple battery cells to the housing.

[0071] As an example, a battery cell can be a secondary battery, which refers to a battery cell that can be recharged after being discharged to activate the active materials and continue to be used.

For example, spacecraft include airplanes, rockets, space shuttles, and spacecraft.

[0073] The technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0074] Firstly, please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a battery carrier device 100, including a carrier mechanism 10 and a positioning mechanism 20. The carrier mechanism 10 includes a carrier body 11, which has a carrier area 111 for placing a battery device 200. The positioning mechanism 20 includes a first positioning seat 21 and a first positioning member 22. The first positioning seat 21 is mounted on the carrier body 11 and can move along a first direction toward or away from the carrier area 111. The first direction is perpendicular to the height direction of the battery carrier device 100. The first positioning member 22 is mounted on the first positioning seat 21 and is used to limit the position of the battery device 200. The first positioning member 22 includes a mounting base 221 and a positioning part 222. The mounting base 221 is mounted on the first positioning seat 21, and the positioning part 222 is mounted on the mounting base 221 and can move along the first direction toward or away from the carrier area 111 on the mounting base 221. The positioning part 222 is used to position and cooperate with the battery device 200 to limit the position of the battery device 200.

[0075] Understandably, the battery carrier 100 has a height direction, which refers to the direction parallel to the direction of gravity of the battery carrier 100 when the battery carrier 100 is in use. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The Z direction is shown. For example, when the battery device 200 is placed in the support area 111, the height direction of the battery support device 100 is the direction of gravity of the battery device 200. The first direction is perpendicular to the height direction of the battery support device 100. When the battery device 200 is placed in the support area 111, the first direction can be the width direction of the battery device 200, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The X direction shown can also be the length direction of the battery device 200, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 Y direction shown.

[0076] The load-bearing mechanism 10 is the core mechanism of the battery load-bearing device 100. It supports the battery device 200 to bear its weight. The load-bearing body 11 is the main component of the load-bearing mechanism 10. It also supports the weight of the battery device 200 and provides an installation environment for the positioning mechanism 20. The load-bearing body 11 can be made of, but is not limited to, aluminum, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, iron, copper, etc. It can be composed of multiple pipes, multiple plates, or a combination of pipes and plates.

[0077] The positioning mechanism 20 is used to limit the position of the battery device 200 located on the support area 111. The first positioning seat 21 is movably mounted on the support body 11. The first positioning seat 21 provides an installation environment for the first positioning member 22. The first positioning seat 21 can move along a first direction toward or away from the support area 111, thereby causing the first positioning member 22 to move along the first direction toward or away from the support area 111. In other words, when the battery device 200 is placed in the support area 111, the first positioning member 22 can follow the first positioning seat 21 and move along the first direction toward or away from the battery device 200, so that the position of the first positioning member 22 along the first direction can adapt to the positioning structure of the battery device 200. The material of the first positioning seat 21 can be, but is not limited to, aluminum, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, iron, copper, etc. The first positioning seat 21 can be composed of multiple tubes spliced ​​together, multiple plates spliced ​​together, or a combination of tubes and plates spliced ​​together. The first positioning member 22 can be, but is not limited to, a positioning pin, a clamping component, a snap-fit ​​component, etc.

[0078] Mounting base 221 supports positioning part 222 and provides mounting environment for positioning part 222. Positioning part 222 is a component for limiting the position of battery device 200. Positioning part 222 can be, but is not limited to, positioning pin, clamping part, snap-fit ​​part, etc.

[0079] In some embodiments, the mounting base 221 includes a base body and a first slide rail disposed on the base body. The first slide rail extends along a first direction, and the positioning part 222 is slidably mounted on the first slide rail.

[0080] As an example, a second locking structure is provided between the positioning part 222 and the mounting base 221. The second locking structure is used to lock the positioning part 222 at the preset position when the positioning part 222 moves to the preset position in the first direction.

[0081] The battery carrier device 100 provided in this application embodiment has a carrier mechanism 10 for carrying a battery device 200. The first positioning seat 21 can move along the first direction towards or away from the carrier area 111 on the carrier body 11, thereby driving the first positioning member 22 to move along the first direction towards or away from the carrier area 111. This allows the position of the first positioning member 22 to be adjusted according to the size of the battery device 200 located on the carrier area 111, so that the position of the first positioning member 22 can be adapted to the position of the positioning structure of the battery device 200 located on the carrier area 111, thereby enabling the positioning of battery devices 200 of different sizes. At the same time, when the size difference between different models of battery devices 200 is small, the position of the positioning part 222 can be adjusted only on the mounting seat 221 along the first direction, without needing to adjust the position of the first positioning seat 21 on the carrier body 11 along the first direction, thus simplifying the position adjustment operation of the first positioning member 22. Thus, the positioning mechanism 20 in the battery carrier 100 can be adapted to battery devices 200 of different sizes, effectively improving the compatibility of the battery carrier 100, thereby effectively reducing the number of battery carriers 100 required and effectively reducing the production cost of the battery device 200.

[0082] Please refer to some embodiments of this application as well. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first positioning member 22 can reciprocate on the first positioning seat 21 along a second direction, which is perpendicular to the height direction of the battery carrier 100 and intersects with the first direction.

[0083] In some embodiments, the second direction is perpendicular to the height direction of the battery carrier 100 and the first direction described above.

[0084] As an example, when the battery device 200 is placed in the support area 111, the first direction can be the width direction of the battery device 200, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The X direction shown can be the second direction, which can be the length direction of the battery device 200, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 Y direction shown.

[0085] As an example, when the battery device 200 is placed in the support area 111, the first direction can be the length direction of the battery device 200, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The Y direction shown can be the width direction of the battery device 200, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The X direction is shown.

[0086] In some embodiments, the first positioning seat 21 is provided with a second slide rail, the second slide rail extends along a second direction, and the first positioning member 22 is slidably mounted on the second slide rail.

[0087] As an example, the first positioning member 22 includes a mounting base 221 and a positioning part 222. The mounting base 221 is slidably mounted on the second slide rail, and the positioning part 222 is mounted on the mounting base 221 and used to position and cooperate with the battery device 200 to limit the position of the battery device 200.

[0088] As an example, a first locking structure is provided between the first positioning member 22 and the first positioning seat 21. The first locking structure is used to lock the first positioning member 22 at the preset position when the first positioning member 22 moves to the preset position in the second direction.

[0089] By adopting the above technical solution, the position of the first positioning member 22 can be adjusted not only along the first direction, but also along the second direction, so that the positioning mechanism 20 can better adapt to the position of the positioning structure of the battery device 200 located on the bearing area 111, and further improve the compatibility performance of the battery bearing device 100.

[0090] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 The positioning mechanism 20 includes at least two first positioning elements 22, and the at least two first positioning elements 22 are all mounted on the first positioning seat 21.

[0091] The number of the first positioning component 22 can be determined according to the actual application needs, specifically 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.

[0092] In some embodiments, at least two first positioning members 22 are arranged along a second direction and can reciprocate on the first positioning seat 21 along the second direction. This allows the position of each first positioning member 22 to be adjusted along the second direction, thereby enabling the positioning mechanism 20 to better adapt to the position of the positioning structure of the battery device 200 located on the bearing area 111, further improving the compatibility performance of the battery bearing device 100.

[0093] By adopting the above technical solution, not only can the position of the battery device 200 be more effectively restricted, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the battery support device 100, but also the position adjustment operation of at least two first positioning members 22 on the same side of the battery support device 100 can be performed to position the battery device 200 located on the support area 111, thereby improving the ease of use of the battery support device 100.

[0094] Please refer to some embodiments of this application as well. Figure 2 , Figure 4and Figure 5 The supporting body 11 is provided with a guide structure 112, which extends along a first direction, and the first positioning seat 21 is movably installed on the guide structure 112.

[0095] In some embodiments, the guide structure 112 includes a guide groove formed on the support body 11, and at least a portion of the first positioning seat 21 is inserted into the guide groove so that the first positioning seat 21 can reciprocate within the guide groove in a first direction.

[0096] As an example, the guide structure 112 includes two guide grooves, which are separated along a second direction. The first positioning seat 21 is inserted into one guide groove along one side of the second direction, and the first positioning seat 21 is inserted into the other guide groove along the other side of the second direction, so that the first positioning seat 21 can reciprocate along the first direction within the guide groove.

[0097] Of course, in other embodiments, the guide structure 112 can also be a guide rail structure, a guide rod structure, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.

[0098] By adopting the above technical solution, not only can the first positioning seat 21 move more stably along the first direction, but the displacement of the first positioning seat 21 in other directions besides the first direction is also improved, thereby improving the position adjustment accuracy of the first positioning member 22 and effectively improving the reliability of the battery carrying device 100.

[0099] Please refer to some embodiments of this application as well. Figure 2 and Figure 4 The supporting mechanism 10 also includes a second positioning member 13 disposed on the supporting body 11. The second positioning member 13 is used to restrict the first positioning seat 21 to the preset position when the first positioning seat 21 moves to the preset position.

[0100] In some embodiments, the first positioning seat 21 has a plurality of third positioning holes, which are spaced apart along a first direction. The second positioning member 13 is a positioning pin, which is used to insert into the corresponding third positioning hole when the first positioning seat 21 moves to a preset position, so as to restrict the first positioning seat 21 to the preset position.

[0101] Of course, in other embodiments, the second positioning member 13 may also be a clamping member, a snap-fit ​​member, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.

[0102] By adopting the above technical solution, the situation where the first positioning seat 21 shifts after moving to the preset position is improved, and the position adjustment accuracy of the first positioning component 22 is improved, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the battery carrying device 100.

[0103] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 The support mechanism 10 also includes a support member 12, which is detachably mounted on the support area 111 and used to support the battery device 200.

[0104] The support member 12 is a component used to support the bottom of the battery device 200. The support member 12 is detachably installed on the support area 111, and the detachable connection between the support member 12 and the support body 11 can be, but is not limited to, plug-in connection, fastening connection, snap-on connection, etc.

[0105] In some embodiments, the support mechanism 10 includes a plurality of support members 12, which are detachably mounted on the support area 111 and arranged sequentially along the second direction. This allows the number of support members 12 to be increased or decreased according to the dimensions of the battery device 200 along the second direction, enabling the support mechanism 10 to be adapted to battery devices 200 of different sizes. This further improves the compatibility of the battery support device 100, thereby further reducing the number of battery support devices 100 required and further lowering the production cost of the battery device 200.

[0106] In some embodiments, the support member 12 is a flexible member so that the support member 12 can make soft contact with the battery device 200, thereby buffering the impact force of collision between the battery device 200 and the support mechanism 10.

[0107] By adopting the above technical solution, the corresponding carrier 12 can be replaced according to the shape and size of different models of battery devices 200, so that the above battery carrier 100 can be applied to different models of battery devices 200, further improving the compatibility performance of the battery carrier 100, thereby further reducing the number of battery carriers 100 required and further reducing the production cost of battery devices 200.

[0108] In some embodiments of this application, the first positioning member 22 is used to be inserted into the battery device 200 along the height direction of the battery carrier 100 to limit the position of the battery device 200.

[0109] In some embodiments, the first positioning member 22 includes a positioning part 222, which is a positioning pin. The housing of the battery device 200 has a fourth positioning hole, and the positioning part 222 is used to be inserted into the fourth positioning hole along the height direction of the battery support device 100.

[0110] By adopting the above technical solution, the position of the battery device 200 can be more effectively restricted, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the battery support device 100.

[0111] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2The positioning mechanism 20 also includes a second positioning seat 23 disposed opposite to the first positioning seat 21 along a first direction. The second positioning seat 23 is mounted on the bearing body 11 and can move along the first direction toward or away from the bearing area 111.

[0112] In some embodiments, the second positioning seat 23 and the first positioning seat 21 are interlocked along a first direction. This not only increases the position adjustment range of the first positioning seat 21, but also makes the structure of the positioning mechanism 20 more compact, thereby reducing the volume of the battery carrier 100.

[0113] For example, please refer to Figure 2 The first positioning seat 21 has a plurality of first positioning holes 211 arranged sequentially along a first direction, and the second positioning seat 23 has a plurality of second positioning holes 231 arranged sequentially along the first direction. The positioning mechanism 20 also includes a third positioning member (not shown in the figure), which is inserted into the first positioning holes 211 and the second positioning holes 231 that are directly opposite each other to limit the relative position of the first positioning seat 21 and the second positioning seat 23. In this way, the relative position of the first positioning seat 21 and the second positioning seat 23 can be limited when the first positioning seat 21 is moved to a preset position, thereby improving the situation where the relative position of the first positioning seat 21 and the second positioning seat 23 is offset and improving the reliability of the battery carrying device 100.

[0114] As an example, the first positioning seat 21 includes a first tube body with a plurality of first positioning holes 211 arranged sequentially along a first direction. The second positioning seat 23 includes a second tube body with a plurality of second positioning holes 231 arranged sequentially along a first direction. The first tube body and the second tube body both extend along the first direction and are arranged opposite to each other. The first tube body is inserted into the cavity of the second tube body or the second tube body is inserted into the cavity of the first tube body. The third positioning member is used to be inserted into the first positioning holes 211 and the second positioning holes 231 that are arranged opposite each other, so as to limit the relative position of the first positioning seat 21 and the second positioning seat 23.

[0115] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 5 The supporting mechanism 10 also includes a fourth positioning member 14 disposed on the supporting body 11. The fourth positioning member 14 is used to restrict the second positioning seat 23 to the preset position when the second positioning seat 23 moves to the preset position. This improves the situation where the second positioning seat 23 shifts after moving to the preset position, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the battery supporting device 100.

[0116] As an example, the second positioning seat 23 has a plurality of fourth positioning holes, which are spaced apart along the first direction. The fourth positioning member 14 is a positioning pin, which is used to be inserted into the corresponding fourth positioning hole when the second positioning seat 23 moves to the preset position, so as to restrict the second positioning seat 23 to the preset position.

[0117] Of course, in other embodiments, the fourth positioning member 14 may also be a clamping member, a snap-fit ​​member, etc., and no specific limitation is made here.

[0118] By adopting the above technical solution, after the first positioning seat 21 is moved to the preset position, the second positioning seat 23 can be moved by the same distance in the opposite direction to the moving direction of the first positioning seat 21, so that the first positioning seat 21 and the second positioning seat 23 are symmetrically distributed on the supporting body 11 along the first direction, thereby improving the situation where the center of gravity of the battery supporting device 100 shifts and reducing the risk of the battery supporting device 100 tilting.

[0119] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 The battery carrier 100 also includes a drive mechanism 30, which is used to drive the carrier 10 to move.

[0120] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism 30 is an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) drive mechanism, which effectively improves the automation performance of the battery carrying device 100.

[0121] Of course, in other embodiments, the drive mechanism 30 may also be other power mechanisms that can provide driving force to the bearing mechanism 10, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0122] In some embodiments, please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 The supporting mechanism 10 also includes multiple casters 15, which are mounted on the bottom of the supporting body 11. The bottom of the supporting body 11 has a receiving space 113 for accommodating the drive mechanism 30. This not only facilitates the drive mechanism 30 in driving the supporting mechanism 10 to move, but also makes the structure of the battery supporting device 100 more compact, effectively reducing the volume of the battery supporting device 100.

[0123] As an example, the supporting body 11 is provided with an inlet structure in the receiving space 113. The inlet structure includes two guide rods, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the receiving space 113 to form an inlet space. The driving mechanism 30 can enter the receiving space 113 along the inlet space.

[0124] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive mechanism 30 can drive the carrier mechanism 10 to move to a preset position, which facilitates the transfer of the battery device 200.

[0125] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a battery manufacturing apparatus, including a battery carrier device 100 as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0126] The battery manufacturing equipment provided in this application effectively reduces the production cost of the battery device 200 by employing the battery carrier device 100 as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0127] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
