Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery packaging, and in particular to a battery packaging tray assembly. Background Technology

[0002] As the core form of lithium battery applications, the packaging of lithium battery packs directly affects product safety and distribution efficiency. Currently, the industry commonly uses a packaging solution combining EPE foam lining and corrugated cardboard boxes: EPE foam provides excellent cushioning with its honeycomb molecular structure, which can withstand the bumps and impacts during transportation; the corrugated cardboard box provides rigid support with its multi-layered paper structure, making it easy to stack.

[0003] However, this packaging method has significant drawbacks: EPE foam, due to material limitations, is prone to slight deformation after a single use, and repeated use leads to a decrease in cushioning performance of more than 30%; corrugated cardboard boxes experience a sharp decline in strength when exposed to moisture, making them unsuitable for various distribution scenarios. Both are single-use consumables. With the annual production of lithium battery packs gradually increasing, adopting these two packaging methods will not only result in a large waste of wood and chemical raw materials, but also drive up packaging costs, leading to resource waste and environmental pollution.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a battery packaging pallet assembly with a stepped platform and interlocking connections between the pallets. This allows for the placement of battery packs of different sizes, improving the applicability of the packaging pallet. Furthermore, the packaging pallets can be stacked to save space and are suitable for mechanized operations. At the same time, the packaging pallets can be recycled and reused multiple times, saving packaging costs and reducing resource waste and environmental pollution. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a battery packaging tray assembly, which adopts a stepped set of recessed platforms and the trays can be connected by a snap-fit ​​mechanism to accommodate battery packs of different sizes.

[0006] This utility model discloses a battery packaging tray assembly, comprising several trays stacked on top of each other. Each tray is provided with a placement groove and a fastening groove. The placement groove is used to place battery packs of different sizes, and the fastening groove is used to form a fastening connection between the trays.

[0007] Furthermore, the placement sink and the fastening groove are both arrayed on the tray, and the placement sink and the fastening groove are staggered.

[0008] Furthermore, the storage trough is formed with several separate storage slots whose dimensions decrease sequentially from top to bottom, so that steps are formed between adjacent storage slots, and the bottom of the storage slots is used to place the battery pack.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom of the uppermost compartment is formed at both ends of the length direction, which is the arrangement direction of the same row of compartments; the bottom of the middle compartment is formed around the compartment and has a ring structure; the bottom of the lowest compartment is a closed bottom.

[0010] Furthermore, the placement groove forms a snap-fit ​​protrusion on the bottom of the tray, which is used to snap into the snap-fit ​​groove of the adjacent tray below.

[0011] Furthermore, a support rib for supporting the battery pack is provided, the support rib being disposed on the inner wall of the storage compartment.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer ring of the tray is deformed to form several reinforcing ribs for improving the strength of the tray.

[0013] Furthermore, when the tray is not used to hold a battery pack, adjacent trays can be stacked together using the corresponding storage slots.

[0014] Furthermore, when placing the battery pack on the tray, the upper tray rotates 180° relative to the plane of the lower tray, so that the fastening protrusion formed by the placement groove of the upper tray at the bottom of the tray engages with the fastening groove of the lower tray to form a fastening.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The battery packaging tray assembly of this utility model adopts a stepped set platform, and the trays can be connected by interlocking mechanisms, which can accommodate battery packs of different sizes, thus improving the applicability of the packaging tray. Furthermore, the packaging trays can be stacked to save space and are suitable for mechanized operations. At the same time, the packaging trays can be recycled and reused multiple times, saving packaging costs and reducing resource waste and environmental pollution. Attached Figure Description

[0022] In this embodiment, the storage trough 1 forms several sub-slots with decreasing dimensions from top to bottom, creating steps between adjacent sub-slots. The bottom of each sub-slot is used to place a battery pack. As shown in the figure, the storage trough 1 forms several sub-slots with decreasing dimensions from top to bottom, creating steps between adjacent sub-slots. The arrangement of these steps is determined by the type and size of the battery packs to be packaged, and can be adjusted in terms of quantity and size. In this embodiment, these steps form a first sub-slot, a second sub-slot, and a third sub-slot with decreasing dimensions for placing battery packs of different sizes, corresponding to large, medium, and small battery packs, respectively. When placing medium-sized battery packs 10 and small-sized battery packs 11, a certain space is formed between them and the side wall of the storage trough 1. To prevent the battery packs from shaking, foam or other fillers can be filled in these spaces, which will not be elaborated here.
