[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, further illustrating the present invention.

[0023] First, combine Figures 1-4 The battery cell tray according to an embodiment of the present invention is used to carry battery cells and has a wide range of applications.

[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the battery cell tray of this utility model embodiment includes: a base plate 1; a plurality of tooling plates 2 and a pair of anti-wear back plates 3.

[0025] Specifically, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, several tooling plates 2 are disposed on the top surface of the substrate 1. Placement slots are provided on the tooling plates 2 for placing battery cells 11. The battery cells 11 are positioned relatively precisely to ensure that they do not tilt during tray transfer. A pair of anti-wear back plates 3 are fixed to the back of the substrate 1 and are positioned opposite each other on both sides of the substrate 1. The anti-wear back plates 3 protect the substrate 1. When the battery cell 11 tray is placed on an external conveyor line, the anti-wear back plates 3 provide a certain degree of wear resistance as the rollers of the conveyor line pass through. In this embodiment, the substrate 1 is an aluminum plate. Aluminum combines low density and high rigidity, reducing the tray's weight while ensuring load-bearing stability. In this embodiment, the anti-wear back plates 3 are PE plates. PE material is impact-resistant to protect the substrate 1 and reduce wear.

[0026] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, it also includes: a pair of impact blocks 4, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the substrate 1. The impact blocks 4 provide a positioning reference when the substrate 1 is stopped. When the tray cell 11 flows to the designated position, the stop cylinder on the conveyor line will extend to block the impact blocks 4, and the impact blocks 4 transmit the blocking force to the substrate 1.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, it also includes: a plurality of buffer blocks 5, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the substrate 1. The buffer blocks 5 protect the substrate 1, absorb impact, and reduce the risk of stress concentration on the substrate 1.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, horizontal guide wheels 6 are installed at the four corners of the substrate 1. The horizontal guide wheels 6 reduce the lateral resistance of the substrate 1 when it moves on the conveyor line. The horizontal guide wheels 6 make the lateral resistance of the substrate 1 smaller when it flows on the conveyor line, so that the tray can pass through more smoothly.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, an RFID electronic tag 7 is provided on the bottom surface of the substrate 1. The RFID electronic tag 7 stores tray data. RFID reading devices are installed at each node of the conveyor line to read the RFID electronic tag 7 to understand the detailed working status of the production line, greatly improving productivity and asset utilization. This code has the characteristic of "one item, one code", enabling rapid data verification. It realizes real-time tracking management, material tracking and contact, material traceability, material cost control, production progress tracking, and reduction of material backlog.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom surface of the substrate 1 is provided with several positioning bushings 8. The positioning bushings 8 cooperate with the external positioning blocks to position the substrate 1. Since the pallet needs to be lifted during the conveying process to change the conveyor line, the positioning bushings 8 are set to cooperate with the positioning pins of the external lifting mechanism to realize the X / Y / Z three-way positioning of the pallet.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of handles 9 are fixed to the top surface of the substrate 1, and the handles 9 are used for transporting and moving the substrate 1. In this embodiment, a plurality of lifting rings 10 are fixed to the top surface of the substrate 1, and the lifting rings 10 are used for hoisting the substrate 1. The lifting rings 10 and handles 9 improve the portability of transport and are applicable to a wide range of scenarios.

[0032] Working Principle: The battery cell 11 tray is placed on the conveyor line and flows. The base plate 1 is an aluminum plate with a PE board on the back, providing a certain degree of wear resistance when the rollers pass through. The tooling plate 2 on the tray has a machined placement groove, ensuring relatively precise placement of the battery cell 11 and preventing the battery cell 11 from tilting during the tray's flow. When the tray reaches the operating station, an external sensor detects that the battery cell 11 is in position, and the line's stop cylinder extends to block the impact block 4. The tray stops moving forward, and the lifting mechanism under the line lifts the battery cell 11, achieving precise positioning of the tray in the X, Y, and Z directions. This facilitates various operations on the battery cell 11 at each station. The RFID electronic tag 7 on the bottom of the tray enables real-time tracking and data collection of processes during the manufacturing assembly line production. The lifting ring 10 and handle 9 provide fixed and accurate positioning for using mechanical grippers to pick up the battery cell 11 or other mechanical operations. Horizontal guide wheels 6 are installed at the four corners of the tray, reducing lateral resistance during conveyor line flow and allowing the tray to pass more smoothly. Each pallet is tagged with an RFID tag, and RFID readers are installed at various points along the conveyor line. Reading each RFID tag allows for detailed information about the production line's operation, significantly improving productivity and asset utilization. This unique tag ensures rapid data verification. Advantages of RFID-based automated intelligent production line management include: real-time tracking management, material tracking and coordination, material traceability, material cost control, production progress tracking, and reduced material backlog.

[0033] Above, refer to Figures 1-4 The present invention describes a battery cell tray 11 according to an embodiment of the present invention, which achieves lightweight and wear resistance through an aluminum substrate 1 and a PE anti-wear back plate 3, precise positioning of the tooling slot, RFID intelligent tracking, buffer blocks and horizontal guide wheels to reduce wear, improve production accuracy, efficiency and equipment life, and support full-process automated management.
