[0043] Figure 1 This diagram illustrates the assembly of the fixing clamp and the battery cell provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 Show Figure 1 A magnified view of a section marked A in the middle; Figure 3 Show Figure 1 A magnified view of a section marked B in the middle; Figure 4 This diagram illustrates the first and second end members of the flow bus provided in an embodiment of the present invention. (Refer to...) Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a fixing fixture. The fixing fixture can be used to position the first end piece 10 and the second end piece 20 of the busbar on the battery cell 1, which facilitates the accuracy of subsequent welding connection between the busbar and the battery cell 1, avoids problems such as incomplete welding, and improves welding efficiency and reliability.
[0044] The fixing fixture includes a support structure 100 and a fixing structure 200. The support structure 100 is arranged along the stacking direction of multiple battery cells 1. The fixing structure 200 is movably mounted on the support structure 100 and can move along the stacking direction of the multiple battery cells 1. The fixing structure 200 can position the first end piece 10 and the second end piece 20 of the busbar on the battery cell 1 to achieve the positioning of the busbar and the battery cell 1 before welding. The first end piece 10 and the second end piece 20 are connected to each other at an angle. The support structure 100 provides a mounting base for the fixing structure 200 and guides the movement of the fixing structure 200, improving flexibility and facilitating the position adjustment of the fixing structure 200 for stacked battery cells 1 of different thicknesses, thereby limiting the position of the busbar on stacked battery cells 1 of different thicknesses.
[0045] Specifically, the fixing structure 200 is provided with a first port 210, a second port 220, and a partition 230. The partition 230 is located between the first port 210 and the second port 220. The first end member 10 of the busbar is positioned through the first port 210, and the second port 220 corresponds to the second end member 20 of the busbar. The second end member 20 is positioned in the second port 220 and presses against the battery cell 1. Through the first port 210, the second port 220, and the partition 230, the first end member 10 and the second end member 20 can be reliably positioned. Through the partition 230, the second end member 20 can be pressed against the battery cell 1, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the positioning between the busbar and the battery cell 1.
[0046] More specifically, the support structure 100 includes a lower support portion 110 and an upper limit portion 120. The upper limit portion 120 is spaced apart from the lower support portion 110 to form a guide space. The side portion of the fixing structure 200 extends into the guide space and is movably connected to the lower support portion 110. The lower support portion 110 and the upper limit portion 120 can limit the fixing structure 200 in the vertical direction.
[0047] More specifically, the fixing fixture also includes a slide rail structure 300. The slide rail structure 300 is arranged parallel to the stacking direction of the plurality of battery cells 1 and is disposed on the lower support portion 110. The fixing structure 200 is slidably connected to the slide rail structure 300. The slide rail structure 300 enables smoother movement of the fixing structure 200 and further guides and limits its movement.
[0048] Preferably, in this embodiment, to ensure the reliable positioning of the fixing structure 200 for the first end member 10 and the second end member 20, two support structures 100 and two slide rail structures 300 are specifically provided. The two support structures 100 are respectively disposed on both sides of the fixing structure 200 in a first direction, which is perpendicular to the stacking direction of the battery cells 1 and perpendicular to the vertical direction.
[0049] Continue to refer to Figures 2-4 The second port 220 has a bottom opening and a top opening on opposite sides in the vertical direction. The distance from the bottom opening to the battery cell 1 is less than the distance from the top opening to the battery cell 1. The second end piece 20 can enter the second port 220 through the bottom opening, and the cross-sectional area of the top opening is less than the cross-sectional area of the second end piece 20. In other words, the second end piece 20 can be accommodated in the second port 220 and can be pressed against by a part of the upper surface of the fixing structure 200, thereby ensuring stability.
[0050] Specifically, a limiting portion 221 is provided around the periphery of the top opening, which can press against the side of the second end member 20 away from the battery cell 1. In this embodiment, the limiting portion 221 is specifically formed at the two apex corners of the second opening 220. Specifically, the two apex corners are arranged opposite to the partition portion 230 in the stacking direction of the battery cells 1, which can further strengthen the positioning of the second end member 20 in the vertical direction on the basis of the pressing action of the partition portion 230 on the second end member 20.
[0051] More specifically, the cross-sectional area of the bottom opening is larger than the cross-sectional area of the second end member 20. This arrangement facilitates the installation of the fixing structure 200 on the second end member 20 and allows the second end member 20 to be inserted into the second opening 220.
[0052] More specifically, the cross-sectional area of the first opening 210 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the first end piece 10. This arrangement facilitates the insertion of the first end piece 10 into the first opening 210.
[0053] More specifically, the partition 230 can press against the angle between the first end member 10 and the second end member 20, with adjacent sides of the partition 230 abutting against the first end member 10 and the second end member 20 respectively. In this embodiment, the first end member 10 and the second end member 20 are connected at right angles to each other, and the partition 230 is also formed at a right angle corresponding to the angle between the first end member 10 and the second end member 20, so as to match and allow adjacent sides of the partition 230 to abut against the first end member 10 and the second end member 20 respectively.
[0054] Continue to refer to Figures 1-3 The fixing clamp also includes a limiting structure 400, which is connected to the fixing structure 200 and can extend into the second opening 220 and abut against the side of the second end piece 20. The limiting structure 400 can fix the second end piece 20 in the second opening 220 in a first direction.
[0055] Specifically, there are two limiting structures 400. The two limiting structures 400 are disposed on opposite sides of the fixing structure 200 and can respectively abut against opposite sides of the second end member 20 to reliably position the second end member 20 in the first direction.
[0056] More specifically, the limiting structure 400 includes a screw portion 410, and the side of the fixing structure 200 has a screw hole communicating with the second through-hole 220. The screw portion 410 is screwed through the screw hole and extends into the second through-hole 220. This arrangement facilitates reliable installation of the screw portion 410 on the fixing structure 200 and allows for adjustment of the depth of the screw portion 410 extending into the second through-hole 220 to accommodate the fixing of second end pieces 20 of different sizes.
[0057] More specifically, the limiting structure 400 also includes an operating head 420. The operating head 420 is fixedly disposed at one end of the screw portion 410, and its cross-sectional area is larger than that of the screw portion 410, making it easy for the operator to hold.
[0058] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
