[0002] The pouch module stacking fixture is a tooling equipment used for shaping the tabs of pouch power batteries. It is widely used in the field of module assembly mechanisms. In the production process of pouch battery modules, multiple pouch batteries need to be stacked to ensure the performance and stability of the module. Currently, the stacking of soft-pack modules mostly relies on manual operation. When stacking manually, individual differences among operators can easily lead to misalignment and slow alignment, requiring the stacking to be redone, resulting in low stacking efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0007] Preferably, the two sliding members are elongated strips, and the two first limiting members are flat plates.
[0008] Preferably, the tooling assembly includes two connecting strips, both of which are threadedly connected to four fasteners on the right side. Two tooling brackets are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two connecting strips. A flip handle is fixedly connected to the opposite side of each of the two tooling brackets. A limit component is provided on the right side of the two tooling brackets.
[0009] Preferably, the three tooling blocks are elongated strips, and the plurality of fasteners are bolts.
[0010] Preferably, the limiting component includes two second limiting members, both of which are fixedly connected to two tooling frames, and two third limiting members are fixedly connected to the top of the two tooling frames.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this utility model, during the stacking process, the modules are stacked on the right side of the first limiting member.

[0016] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0017] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a soft-pack module stacking fixture, including a workbench 1. The workbench 1 has two first sliding grooves 2 inside. Two sliding members 3 are slidably connected inside the two first sliding grooves 2. Four reset plates 10 are fixedly connected to the surface of the two sliding members 3. The four reset plates 10 are all slidably connected to the two first sliding grooves 2. A first limiting member 4 is fixedly connected to the top of each of the two sliding members 3. A fixing block 5 is fixedly connected to the left side of the two first limiting members 4. An adjustment component 6 is provided at the bottom of the fixing block 5. A reset component 9 is provided on the right side of the four reset plates 10.
[0018] Specifically, the workbench 1 is designed with two first slide grooves 2, and two long strip-shaped sliding parts 3 can slide in the first slide grooves 2. Four reset plates 10 are fixed on the surface of the sliding parts 3, and these four reset plates 10 can also slide in the first slide grooves 2. At the top of each of the two sliding parts 3, a flat first limiting part 4 is fixed, so that the first limiting part 4 can move when subjected to force. At the same time, a fixing block 5 is fixedly connected to the left side of the two first limiting parts 4. When the first limiting part 4 moves, it can drive the fixing block 5 to move, which is used to adjust the position of the tooling block 601 accordingly.
[0019] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The adjustment component 6 includes multiple fasteners 602. The two fasteners 602 on the left are threadedly connected to the fixing block 5. Three tooling blocks 601 are threadedly connected to the surfaces of the multiple fasteners 602. Tooling components 7 are provided on the surfaces of the two fasteners 602 on the right.
[0020] Specifically, the three tooling blocks 601 are fixed by multiple fasteners 602. This fixing method is both stable and easy to disassemble, allowing the tooling blocks 601 to be replaced according to actual needs to adapt to the stacking of soft-pack modules of different specifications.
[0021] Reference Figure 2 The reset assembly 9 includes four springs 901, which are fixedly connected to four reset plates 10 and to two first slide grooves 2.
[0022] Specifically, four springs 901 are fixedly connected to four reset plates 10 respectively. At the same time, the other end of each spring 901 is fixedly connected to two first sliding grooves 2, so that when the sliding member 3 slides in the first sliding groove 2 due to external force, the reset plate 10 connected to the sliding member 3 will drive the spring 901 to deform. The elastic potential energy of spring 901 will cause it to return to its initial state after the external force disappears, thereby driving the reset plate 10 and the slider 3 back to their initial positions, preparing for the next stacking operation of the soft package module.
[0023] Reference Figure 2 The two sliding parts 3 are long strips, and the two first limiting parts 4 are flat plates.
[0024] Specifically, in this soft-pack module stacking fixture, the two sliding parts 3 are elongated. This shape design allows them to slide within the first groove 2 opened inside the workbench 1. The elongated structure ensures stability and guidance during the sliding process. The two first limiting members 4 are flat. The flat design helps to provide flat and stable limiting support for the sides of the module during the stacking of soft package modules, ensuring that the modules remain neat and orderly when stacked.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 The tooling assembly 7 includes two connecting strips 702, both of which are threadedly connected to four fasteners 602 on the right side. Two tooling brackets 701 are fixedly connected to the surface of the two connecting strips 702. A flip handle 703 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of each of the two tooling brackets 701. A limit component 8 is provided on the right side of the two tooling brackets 701.
[0026] Specifically, the space formed by the connecting strip 702 and the tooling frame 701 provides a specific operating space and support structure for the entire tooling. On opposite sides of the two tooling frames 701, a flipping handle 703 is fixedly connected. By holding the flipping handle 703, the operator can flip the entire tooling.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The three tooling blocks 601 are long strips, and the multiple fasteners 602 are bolts.
[0028] Specifically, all three tooling blocks 601 are designed in the shape of long strips. This long strip shape allows them to fit better with the module with a larger contact area, providing stable and balanced support for the soft package module during the stacking process. Multiple fasteners 602 are bolts, which can make the connection stable and ensure that the tooling block 601 will not easily loosen or shift during use. They are also easy to disassemble and replace. When different specifications of modules need to be made, simply tighten the bolts to replace the tooling block 601 of the corresponding size.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 The limiting component 8 includes two second limiting members 801, both of which are fixedly connected to two tooling frames 701, and two third limiting members 802 are fixedly connected to the top of the two tooling frames 701.
[0030] Specifically, the second limiting member can limit the stacked soft-pack modules from the side, and the third limiting member 802 limits the modules from the vertical direction. The third limiting member 802 works in conjunction with the second limiting member 801 to limit the stacking of the soft-pack modules.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 The two second limiting members 801 are elongated strips, and the two third limiting members 802 are elongated strips with a semi-circular right side.
[0032] Specifically, the second limiting member 801 is elongated, which provides a stable limiting effect along the side of the soft package module. The two third limiting members 802 are elongated with a semi-circular right side. On the one hand, the elongated part can limit the module in the longitudinal direction; on the other hand, the semi-circular design on the right side can better fit the top edge of the tooling frame 701.
[0033] Working principle: When stacking soft package modules, the soft package modules are placed on the right side of the first limiting member 4 for stacking. Since the first limiting member 4 is flat, it can provide initial limiting for the side of the module, so that the module has a reference edge during the stacking process. After the stacking is completed, pushing the first limiting member 4 will cause the sliding member 3 to slide in the first groove 2. At this time, the reset plate 10 fixed on the slider 3 will compress the spring 901 and store elastic potential energy. As the first limiting member 4 pushes, all the stacked soft package modules will automatically align under its action, solving the problem of low efficiency of manual alignment. When the first limiting member 4 is released, under the action of the elastic force of the spring 901, the reset plate 10 drives the slider 3 and the first limiting member 4 to reset so as to carry out the next stacking operation.
[0034] The tooling block 601 is fixed by the fastener 602. This connection method makes the tooling block 601 easy to disassemble and replace. When it is necessary to make soft pack modules of different specifications, since the tooling block 601 is fixed by the fastener 602, you only need to unscrew the fastener 602 to remove the original tooling block 601 and replace it with a tooling block 601 of the corresponding length. Then, tighten the fastener 602 to fix it again. This can adapt to the stacking requirements of soft pack modules of different lengths and solve the problem that the stacking tooling can only assemble one type of module.
[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
