[0037] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0038] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a battery module transportation fixture, including multiple sets of placement racks 1. The placement racks 1 are used to fix and place the battery modules to be transported. The multiple sets of placement racks 1 have the same shape and structure and can be assembled and stacked.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, the placement rack 1 includes a horizontal plate 12 for placing battery modules. Two sets of opposing vertical plates 11 are fixedly installed on both sides of the horizontal plate 12. The horizontal plate 12 is located in the middle of the vertical plates 11. At the same time, threaded holes 13 are opened on the vertical plates 11, and clamping members 2 are provided in the threaded holes 13. The battery modules on the horizontal plate 12 are fixed by the clamping members 2.

[0041] The clamping member 2 has a screw 22 threaded into a threaded hole 13. A clamping plate 21 is rotatably connected to one end of the screw 22 located inside the vertical plate 11. A handle 23 is fixedly installed on the outer end of the screw 22. Therefore, by rotating the handle 23, the screw 22 can be rotated in the threaded hole 13, and the clamping plate 21 can be moved horizontally to clamp and fix the battery module.

[0042] like Figures 4-6 As shown, in order to stack multiple sets of placement racks 1, an adjusting rod 14 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the vertical plate 11. Multiple sets of connecting holes 15 are evenly opened on the adjusting rod 14. At the same time, an adjusting hole 16 is opened through the lower end face of the vertical plate 11. The adjusting hole 16 cooperates with the adjusting rod 14. Furthermore, a locking hole 161 is also opened through the horizontal surface of the vertical plate 11 and inside the adjusting hole 16. The locking hole 161 corresponds to the connecting hole 15. A third bolt 162 is provided inside the locking hole 161. A nut 163 is threadedly connected to the end of the third bolt 162.

[0043] Therefore, when stacking the two sets of placement racks 1, first insert the adjustment hole 16 of the upper set of placement racks 1 into the adjustment rod 14, then align the locking hole 161 with the corresponding connecting hole 15, pass the third bolt 162 through, and finally tighten the nut 163 onto the third bolt 162. This also makes it convenient to change the distance between the placement racks 1 through the adjustment rod 14 to accommodate battery modules of different heights.

[0044] In order to assemble multiple sets of placement racks 1, a locking component 17 is provided on the outer side of the vertical plate 11. The locking component 17 has a locking rod 175 fixedly installed on one side of the upper end of the outer surface of the vertical plate 11, and a support rod 171 is fixedly installed on the other side of the upper end of the outer surface of the vertical plate 11. A locking plate 172 is provided on the support rod 171. One end of the locking plate 172 has a hole 173, through which the locking plate 172 can rotate on the support rod 171. At the same time, a slot 174 is provided at the other end of the locking plate 172, through which the locking plate 172 can be locked onto the locking rod 175.

[0045] To ensure the stable assembly of multiple sets of placement racks 1, a first fixing hole 18 is provided on one side of the vertical plate 11, and an assembly rod 19 is provided on the other side of the vertical plate 11. The assembly rod 19 corresponds to and cooperates with the first fixing hole 18. Therefore, when assembling multiple sets of placement racks 1, the assembly rod 19 of one set of placement racks 1 is first aligned with the first fixing hole 18 and pushed in until the two sets of placement racks 1 are in contact. Then, the clamping plate 172 is rotated so that the clamping slot 174 is engaged with the clamping rod 175, thereby completing the assembly of the two sets of placement racks 1 and ensuring their stability.

[0046] like Figures 2-4 As shown, in order to protect both sides of the battery module installed on the mounting bracket 1, a first protective plate 3 is provided on the outermost side of the mounting bracket 1 with the first fixing hole 18. The length of the first protective plate 3 is the same as the length between the outer sides of the two sets of vertical plates 11. Multiple sets of first mounting holes 31 are opened on both sides of the first protective plate 3. The first mounting holes 31 correspond to the first fixing holes 18, and the first bolts 32 are threaded into the first fixing holes 18. Therefore, after the battery module is installed, the first protective plate 3 is attached to the side of the outermost vertical plate 11, and the first mounting holes 31 and the first fixing holes 18 are aligned. Then the first bolts 32 are tightened to fix it, thereby protecting one side of the battery module through the first protective plate 3.

[0047] Meanwhile, a second guard plate 4 is provided on the side of the outermost placement frame 1 with the assembly rod 19. The length of the second guard plate 4 is the same as the length of the first guard plate 3. Two sets of second assembly holes 41 are provided on both sides of the second guard plate 4. The second assembly holes 41 correspond to the assembly rod 19. Therefore, the second guard plate 4 can be fitted onto the assembly rod 19 through the second assembly holes 41.

[0048] Meanwhile, second mounting holes 42 are also provided at both ends of the second protective plate 4. The second mounting holes 42 are located between the two sets of second assembly holes 41, and a second fixing hole 44 is provided on the side end of the placement frame 1 with the assembly rod 19. The second fixing hole 44 corresponds to the second mounting hole 42. A second bolt 43 is threaded into the second fixing hole 44. Therefore, after the battery module is installed, the second protective plate 4 is put onto the assembly rod 19 through the second assembly hole 41. At this time, the second mounting hole 42 and the second fixing hole 44 correspond to each other, and the second bolt 43 is passed through the second mounting hole 42 and screwed into the second fixing hole 44.

[0049] Therefore, the second bolt 43 is passed through the second mounting hole 42 and fixed into the second fixing hole 44, thereby fixing the second protective plate 4 and protecting the other side of the battery module through the second protective plate 4.

[0050] In this application, since the horizontal plate 12 is located between the vertical plates 11, there is still space between the bottom shelf 1 and the ground, such as... Figure 1 As shown in this application, a forklift 5 is provided below the placement rack 1. The forklift 5 is used to transfer the entire transport tooling, or it can be transferred by other transport vehicles.

[0051] It should be noted that the placement rack 1 is provided in multiple sets, which can be assembled horizontally or stacked vertically according to the size and quantity of the batteries to be transported.

[0052] In summary: When installing battery modules, if the battery is small, it can be placed on a single placement rack 1 and clamped by the clamping component 2. If the battery is large, the placement rack 1 can be spliced ​​or adjusted to accommodate battery modules of different sizes or heights. This ensures the support stability of the clamping component 2 while also facilitating the adaptation of battery modules of different sizes, improving the adaptability of the transport tooling, and ensuring transport efficiency.

[0053] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
