Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0024] like Figures 1-3As shown, this utility model discloses a functional battery cell tray quick-release structure, including an outer frame 1, a left inner liner 2, a right inner liner 3, and two-color buckles 4. In this embodiment, the outer frame 1 is a hollow rectangular frame with openings or grids for weight reduction. The left inner liner 2 and the right inner liner 3 have the same structure and are symmetrically placed on opposite sides inside the outer frame 1. A row of two-color buckles 4 is detachably connected along the length of both the left inner liner 2 and the right inner liner 3. A left battery cell clamping cavity 5 is formed between adjacent two-color buckles 4 on the left inner liner 2, and a right battery cell clamping cavity 6 is formed between adjacent two-color buckles 4 on the right inner liner 3. The left battery cell clamping cavity 5 and the right battery cell clamping cavity 6 respectively clamp the left and right ends of the battery cell 10.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, to achieve a detachable connection between the two-color buckle 4 and the inner lining, both the left inner lining 2 and the right inner lining 3 have a row of T-shaped protrusions 7 along their length. The bottom of the two-color buckle 4 has a slot 8 that matches the shape of the T-shaped protrusions 7. During assembly, the T-shaped protrusions 7 are inserted into the slots 8, allowing the two-color buckle 4 to be detachably connected to the left inner lining 2 and the right inner lining 3. It is a plug-and-play connection; when in use, the two-color buckle 4 is inserted, and when replacing, it is simply pulled out.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to facilitate the connection between the inner lining and the outer frame 1, the bottom of the left inner lining 2 and the right inner lining 3 are provided with several positioning posts 15. The bottom surface of the inner side of the outer frame 1 is provided with positioning holes that are adapted to the positioning posts 15. During installation, the positioning posts 15 are inserted into the positioning holes so that the left inner lining 2 and the right inner lining 3 are fixed relative to the outer frame 1.

[0027] like Figures 4-5 As shown, the dual-color buckle 4 includes a buckle frame 14, an outer soft rubber layer 11, and an inner soft rubber layer 12. The outer soft rubber layer 11 is integrally disposed on the outside of the buckle frame 14, and the inner soft rubber layer 12 is integrally disposed on the inside of the buckle frame 14. The outer soft rubber layer 11 and the inner soft rubber layer 12 are different colors. A portion of the inner soft rubber layer 12 extends towards the rear of the buckle frame 14 to form a press handle 13. In this embodiment, the dual-color buckle 4 is formed by injection molding. In one complete injection molding cycle, two different types of plastic materials are injected into the same mold cavity twice. The inner liner is used to limit and support the battery cell 10. The dual-color buckle 4 uses a soft rubber layer, which is elastic. On the one hand, it has greater friction when in contact with the surface of the battery cell 10, which can better clamp and fix the battery cell 10. On the other hand, it can also play a role in buffering and vibration reduction. The press handle 13 is convenient for the operator to hold during manual operation, making it easy to press and disassemble, thus improving the changeover efficiency of the dual-color buckle 4. Preferably, there are two pressing handles 13, spaced apart vertically on the two-color buckle 4. To facilitate quick insertion of the battery cell 10, the top two sides of the two-color buckle 4 are provided with slopes 9, so that the top of the two-color buckle 4 forms a trapezoidal structure.

[0028] Usage process:

[0029] First, install the inner liner on the bottom surface of the outer frame 1, and select the appropriate two-color buckle 4 according to the thickness of the battery cell 10. Insert the two-color buckle 4 into the inner liner in sequence, and press down the pressing handle 13 of the two-color buckle 4 to make it securely connected.

[0030] Then, insert the battery cell 10 into the two-color buckle 4 in sequence, so that the two ends of the battery cell 10 are fixed in the left battery cell clamping cavity 5 and the right battery cell clamping cavity 6 respectively.

[0031] When it is necessary to transfer other sizes of battery cells 10, remove the two-color clips 4 on the inner liner one by one, and then replace the appropriate two-color clips 4 according to the size of the battery cell 10, and then fix and transfer the battery cell 10 in the same way as described above.

[0032] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the scope of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
