Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a tooling for the installation and disassembly of sunken battery modules, belonging to the field of battery module technology. Background Technology

[0002] Battery modules are the core energy units of new energy vehicles and energy storage equipment. Composed of multiple individual batteries, connecting components, protection devices, and a casing, they are the key intermediate structure between individual batteries and the battery pack. Their core function is to connect individual batteries in series or parallel, achieving on-demand voltage and capacity matching through proper arrangement and connection to meet the power or energy storage needs of the equipment. Individual batteries have limited capacity and voltage when used alone; modular design improves overall energy density and stability, while also facilitating installation, maintenance, and replacement. Modules typically include busbars, insulators, and temperature sensors to ensure reliable connections and good conductivity between cells, while also monitoring temperature and voltage in real time to prevent safety hazards such as overcharging, over-discharging, and overheating. Structurally, they balance lightweight design with protection, adapting to different equipment installation spaces, and are widely used in new energy vehicles, portable electronic devices, and energy storage power stations, serving as a core component for ensuring equipment range and safety.

[0003] During battery module installation, height restrictions necessitate lowering the modules. Their significant weight prevents manual lifting and lowering. Furthermore, the long lowering distance and confined installation space increase the risk of impact damage. Manual alignment is less precise, leading to misalignment and tilting during lowering, causing wear and deformation of the module's outer casing. The lack of buffering and limiting structures during lowering makes it difficult to control the descent speed smoothly, and sudden impacts can damage internal cells and wiring, causing insulation failure, loose connections, and other hazards, ultimately affecting the safety and lifespan of the battery module.

[0029] The present invention will be further illustrated by way of embodiments below, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments described herein.

[0030] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the tooling for installing and disassembling sunken battery modules includes a mounting frame 11, a guide assembly, and a pushing assembly. Multiple partitions 111 are fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 11. A bracket 112 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the mounting frame 11 between the partitions 111. Battery modules 113 are disposed at the intervals formed between the partitions 111 and are correspondingly positioned above the brackets 112. Thus, the brackets 112 support the battery modules 113, and the multiple partitions 111 can be used to separate the battery modules 113, allowing multiple battery modules 113 to be stored on the mounting frame 11.

[0031] The mounting frame 11 is fixedly connected to the edge of the crossbeam 114, and the top surface of the crossbeam 114 is fixedly connected to the platform 115. The platform 115 is distributed correspondingly to the bracket 112. The mounting frame 11 is provided with a guide component on its edge. The guide component is set between the bracket 112 and the platform 115. The platform 115 can be used to support the battery module 113, and the battery module 113 can be pushed onto the bracket 112 through the platform 115. The guide component provides guidance and buffering, so that when the battery module 113 is lowered, the guide component can assist in the operation and avoid damage to the battery module 113.

[0032] The guiding assembly includes a crossbeam 114 and a guiding fixture 12. The crossbeam 114 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting frame 11 and is located at the edge of the mounting frame 11. The crossbeam 114 is fixedly connected to one end of the bracket 112. The guiding fixture 12 has an arc-shaped structure and is fixedly connected to the surface of the crossbeam 114. Thus, the guide fixture 12 can be installed through the crossbeam 114. The arc-shaped structure design of the guide fixture 12 facilitates the slow sinking and placement of the battery module 113, improving safety performance during storage.

[0033] Square steel 121 and gasket 122 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the mounting frame 11 and the crossbeam 114. The square steel 121 and gasket 122 are connected to the bearing 124 through the buffer spring 123. In this way, the buffer spring 123 can be installed through the square steel 121 and the gasket 122, and it can provide sufficient support.

[0034] The guide fixture 12 has multiple evenly distributed circular slots 127 on its side wall. A pin 125 is slidably connected in the circular slot 127. The middle part of the pin 125 is rotatably connected to the roller 126. Both ends of the pin 125 are movably sleeved inside the bearing 124. In this way, the bearing 124 limits the two ends of the pin 125, allowing the pin 125 to rotate within the bearing 124. At the same time, the roller 126 supports the bottom of the battery module 113.

[0035] Furthermore, the rollers 126 are evenly arranged on the side edges of the guide fixture 12. In this way, the rollers 126 can provide real-time continuous support when the battery module 113 is placed downwards. The rollers 126 can also provide protection through the downward movement of the bearings 124 and the compression of the buffer springs 123. This allows the battery module 113 to achieve a buffer protection function when it is supported by the rollers 126 in sequence, preventing the rigid impact on the rollers 126 during the movement of the battery module 113 from causing damage to the battery module 113.

[0036] A lifting mechanism is fixedly mounted on the surface of the mounting frame 11. The lifting mechanism is located on one side of the guide fixture 12. The lifting mechanism includes a hydraulic cylinder 13 and a roller 131. The hydraulic cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting frame 11. The telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 13 is rotatably connected to the roller 131. The roller 131 is located below the bracket 112. Thus, when the battery module 113 is supported, it is supported by the bracket 112, ensuring that the battery module 113 is placed stably in a horizontal state. When the battery module 113 needs to be removed, the extension of the hydraulic cylinder 13 can drive the roller 131 to lift one end of the battery module 113, causing the battery module 113 to tilt and be able to cross the guide fixture 12 and be moved out through the pushing component.

[0037] The pushing assembly includes a slide rail 14, a limiting mechanism, and a driving mechanism. The bottom of the slide rail 14 is fixedly connected to a slider 146, and the slider 146 is driven by the driving mechanism. The limiting mechanism is movably disposed on one side of the slide rail 14. The slide rail 14 has a T-shaped structure and is slidably connected to the surface of the bracket 112. One side of the slide rail 14 is fixedly connected to a reinforcing rib 141. By setting the reinforcing rib 141, the structural strength of the slide rail 14 can be ensured, so that the top of the slide rail 14 will not bend or deform when subjected to impact.

[0038] The limiting mechanism includes a rotating plate 142, a connecting plate 143, and a buffer pad 144. The rotating plate 142 is rotatably connected to the top side wall of the slide rail 14. The surface of the rotating plate 142 is fixedly connected to the buffer pad 144 through the connecting plate 143. The buffer pad 144 is distributed correspondingly to the battery module 113. The rotating plate 142 is connected to the side wall of the slide rail 14 through a connecting spring 145. Thus, when the battery module 113 is placed, the battery module 113 overlaps the surface of the slide rail 14, and one end of the battery module 113 contacts the buffer pad 144, forcing the rotating plate 142 to rotate. The connecting spring 145 overcomes the impact force, enabling the battery module 113 to move stably and slowly when lowered, avoiding damage to the battery module 113.

[0039] The driving mechanism includes a side plate 15, a drive motor 151, and a lead screw 154. The side plate 15 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the mounting frame 11. The lead screw 154 is rotatably connected inside the side plate 15, and both ends of the lead screw 154 are connected to the side plate 15. The drive motor 151 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting frame 11. The output end of the drive motor 151 and the lead screw 154 are both fixedly connected to pulleys 152. The pulleys 152 are connected to each other via a belt 153. The lead screw 154 is located below the bracket 112 and is threadedly connected to the slider 146. The slider 146 is slidably connected to the surface of the mounting frame 11. Specifically, the drive motor 151 drives the slider 154 through a belt 153. The drive of belt 153 and pulley 152 causes lead screw 154 to rotate within side plate 15. Lead screw 154 drives slider 146 to move on the surface of mounting frame 11. Slider 146 drives slide rail 14 to move synchronously. When the operator pushes battery module 113 from platform 115 onto mounting frame 11, one end of battery module 113 is supported by slide rail 14. As lead screw 154 continues to rotate, slider 146 drives battery module 113 to move towards the surface of mounting frame 11. At this time, the operator can gently push battery module 113 to move with slide rail 14. When the other end of battery module 113 contacts roller shaft 126, the buffer of roller shaft 126 makes battery module 113 stably placed on mounting frame 11.
