[0011] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0012] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 This application discloses a transport device for transporting a battery 100. The transport device includes a transport body 200. Specifically, the transport device may be a tray for transporting the battery.

[0013] The transport body 200 is the basic component of the transport device, used to provide installation positions for other components of the transport device, wherein the battery 100 may be located in the transport body 200. In addition, the transport body 200 is also used to form some functional spaces or structures, such as the receiving slot 210, connecting slot 220, buffer slot 230, pick-up and drop slot 240 and loading and unloading slot 250 described later.

[0014] The transport body 200 is provided with a receiving groove 210 for accommodating the battery 100, so that the battery 100 can be placed in the receiving groove 210 during transport. The outer surface of the battery 100 has a connecting surface. When the battery 100 is placed in the receiving groove 210, the connecting surface is detachably bonded and fixed to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 210 to fix the battery 100 in the receiving groove 210, at which time the battery 100 can be in the transport process. Of course, after the transport is completed, the connecting surface can be separated from the bottom wall of the receiving groove 210 so that the battery 100 can be moved out of the receiving groove 210.

[0015] Specifically, the connecting surfaces can be distributed on the side of the battery 100 facing the bottom wall of the receiving groove 210 in the thickness direction. The thickness direction of the battery 100 can be parallel to the opening direction of the receiving groove 210. The material of the transport body 200 can be PS (Polystyrene). This application embodiment does not limit the specific material of the transport body 200. In addition, the thickness of the battery cell of the battery 100 can be less than 1.6 mm, and the thickness direction of the cell can be parallel to the thickness direction of the battery.

[0016] The transportation device disclosed in this application improves the structure of transportation devices related to the related technology by providing a receiving groove 210 for accommodating the battery 100 on the transportation body 200, so that the battery 100 can be placed in the receiving groove 210. At the same time, the battery 100 is fixed in the receiving groove 210 by detachably bonding and fixing the connecting surface of the outer surface of the battery 100 to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 210. This structure, by detachably bonding and fixing the connecting surface to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 210, reduces the possibility of the battery 100 moving around in the receiving groove 210, prevents the battery 100 from colliding with the transportation body 200, and avoids affecting the appearance of the battery 100.

[0017] Furthermore, in this structure, since the area of ​​the connecting surface is large and the connecting surface is detachably bonded to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 210, the battery 100 and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 210 can have a large connecting area, which helps to reduce the stress between the battery 100 and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 210, which helps to reduce the risk of deformation of the battery 100, and thus better protects the appearance of the battery 100.

[0018] In addition, since the connecting surface and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 210 are detachably bonded and fixed, the battery 100 can be fixed in the receiving groove 210. Therefore, the battery 100 can be prevented from moving around in the receiving groove 210 as much as possible, which would cause friction between the connecting surface and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 210 and thus wear on the connecting surface. This helps to further mitigate the impact on the appearance of the battery 100.

[0019] In a further technical solution, the transport device may also include a connector 300. The connector 300 may be disposed in the receiving groove 210 and fixed to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 210. When the battery 100 is disposed in the receiving groove 210, the connecting surface may be detachably bonded to the connector 300, thereby detachably bonding and fixing the battery 100 to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 210, thus facilitating the fixing of the battery 100 in the receiving groove 210. Specifically, the connector 300 may be bonded and fixed to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 210 by double-sided tape or glue, or it may be welded and fixed to the bottom wall of the receiving groove 210. The material of the connector 300 may be PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) or glassine paper, and this application embodiment does not limit the choice of material.

[0020] In addition, the connecting surface can be detachably bonded to the connector 300 using a weak adhesive. Specifically, the adhesive strength of the weak adhesive between the connecting surface and the connector 300 can be in the range of 50-100 grams, thereby making it relatively easy to achieve detachable bonding between the connecting surface and the connector 300.

[0021] To improve transportation efficiency, the transport body 200 can be provided with multiple receiving slots 210, and multiple connectors 300 can be provided one-to-one in the multiple receiving slots 210, and can be fixed one-to-one to the bottom wall of the corresponding receiving slot 210. The multiple receiving slots 210 are used to accommodate multiple batteries 100 one-to-one. When multiple batteries 100 are arranged one-to-one in the multiple receiving slots 210, multiple connecting surfaces can be one-to-one and detachably bonded to the corresponding connectors 300 to fix the multiple batteries 100 one-to-one in the corresponding receiving slots 210. This structure allows the transport body 200 to accommodate more batteries 100 through the multiple receiving slots 210, thereby enabling the transport of more batteries 100 and improving transportation efficiency.

[0022] In one embodiment, the plurality of receiving slots 210 may include a first group of receiving slots 210 and a second group of receiving slots 210. The plurality of receiving slots 210 in the first group of receiving slots 210 and the plurality of receiving slots 210 in the second group of receiving slots 210 may be distributed in a one-to-one correspondence with each other. The first group of receiving slots 210 and the second group of receiving slots 210 may be distributed along a first direction. The plurality of receiving slots 210 in the first group of receiving slots 210 may be distributed along a second direction. The plurality of receiving slots 210 in the second group of receiving slots 210 may be distributed along a second direction. The first direction and the second direction may be perpendicular to each other, and the first direction and the second direction may be perpendicular to the opening orientation of the receiving slots 210, so as to facilitate the layout of the receiving slots 210 on the transport body 200.

[0023] In an optional technical solution, the transport body 200 may be provided with multiple connecting grooves 220. These connecting grooves 220 may be distributed along a second direction between the first group of receiving grooves 210 and the second group of receiving grooves 210. The multiple connecting grooves 220, the multiple receiving grooves 210 in the first group of receiving grooves 210, and the multiple receiving grooves 210 in the second group of receiving grooves 210 may correspond one-to-one. Specifically, the opening orientation of the connecting groove 220 may be the same as the opening orientation of the receiving groove 210.

[0024] Multiple connecting slots 220 can communicate with corresponding receiving slots 210 in the first group of receiving slots 210 and corresponding receiving slots 210 in the second group of receiving slots 210, respectively. That is, the receiving slots 210 in the first group of receiving slots 210 and the corresponding receiving slots 210 in the second group of receiving slots 210 can be connected through the connecting slots 220 between them. The connecting member 300 in the receiving slot 210 of the first group of receiving slots 210 and the connecting member 300 in the corresponding receiving slot 210 of the second group of receiving slots 210 can be connected through the corresponding connecting slots 220. That is, the connecting member 300 in the receiving slot 210 of the first group of receiving slots 210 and the connecting member 300 in the corresponding receiving slot 210 of the second group of receiving slots 210 can be connected, and the connection point between the two can be located in the corresponding connecting slot 220.

[0025] In this structure, the connector 300 in the first set of receiving grooves 210 is connected to the corresponding connector 300 in the second set of receiving grooves 210. This allows the connector 300 in the first set of receiving grooves 210 to be fixed on the bottom wall of the corresponding receiving groove 210, while simultaneously fixing the connector 300 in the second set of receiving grooves 210 to the bottom wall of the corresponding receiving groove 210. This facilitates more efficient fixing of the connector 300 and avoids the situation where too many connectors 300 are connected, making it too difficult to fix too many connected connectors 300 at the same time.

[0026] Specifically, the connector 300 in the first set of receiving grooves 210 and the corresponding connector 300 in the second set of receiving grooves 210 can be an integral structure. Of course, the connector 300 in the first set of receiving grooves 210 and the corresponding connector 300 in the second set of receiving grooves 210 can also be a separate structure, and the two can be connected by means of adhesive bonding, welding, etc. The embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0027] In the embodiments disclosed in this application, when the battery 100 is disposed in the receiving groove 210, the battery 100 and the side wall of the receiving groove 210 can be spaced apart to form a buffer space. This structure allows the battery 100 to be buffered by the buffer space in the event of a large bump or impact during transportation, which causes the battery 100 to move around. This reduces the risk of the battery 100 hitting the side wall of the receiving groove 210 and further reduces the risk of the battery 100 colliding with the transport body 200 and deforming, thus affecting the appearance of the battery 100.

[0028] Furthermore, the sidewall of the receiving groove 210 may have multiple edges, all of which extend along the opening of the receiving groove 210. The transport body 200 may be provided with multiple buffer grooves 230, which may be distributed at the multiple edges and communicate with the receiving groove 210 respectively. This helps to reduce the risk of the battery 100 accidentally moving and hitting the edge of the sidewall of the receiving groove 210, thus better protecting the battery 100. In addition, if the transport device includes a buffer space, all of the multiple buffer grooves 230 may communicate with the buffer space.

[0029] In one feasible technical solution, the transport body 200 may be provided with a pick-and-place slot 240, which is connected to the receiving slot 210. This structure allows for convenient access to the edge area of ​​the battery 100 through the pick-and-place slot 240 when removing the battery 100 from the receiving slot 210, thus facilitating the removal of the battery 100 from the receiving slot 210. Similarly, when the battery 100 is placed in the receiving slot 210, the pick-and-place slot 240 provides space for a structure that holds the battery 100 (such as a robotic arm or human hand), thereby facilitating the placement of the battery 100 into the receiving slot 210. Specifically, the opening orientation of the pick-and-place slot 240 may be the same as that of the receiving slot 210.

[0030] To further improve transportation efficiency, there can be multiple transport bodies 200, which are stacked on top of each other. The stacking direction of the multiple transport bodies 200 can be parallel to the opening of the receiving slot 210, so that more batteries 100 can be accommodated by multiple transport bodies 200, and more batteries 100 can be transported.

[0031] Optionally, the transport body 200 may be provided with a loading / unloading slot 250. The opening orientation of the loading / unloading slot 250 may be the same as that of the receiving slot 210. The loading / unloading slots 250 may be distributed at the edge of the transport body 200 and may extend through to the side wall of the transport body 200. The side wall of the transport body 200 may extend around the central axis of the transport body 200, and the central axis of the transport body may be parallel to the opening orientation of the loading / unloading slot 250. This structure allows loading / unloading structures (such as robotic arms, human hands, etc.) to be extended between two adjacent loading / unloading transport bodies 200 through the loading / unloading slots 250 when multiple transport bodies 200 are stacked together, thereby facilitating the loading and unloading of the transport bodies 200.

[0032] Of course, in other embodiments, the transport body 200 may be provided with loading and unloading holes on its side wall to facilitate loading and unloading of the transport body 200.

[0033] The above embodiments of this utility model focus on describing the differences between the various embodiments. As long as the different optimization features of the various embodiments are not contradictory, they can be combined to form a better embodiment. For the sake of brevity, they will not be described in detail here.

However, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these forms are within the protection scope of the present invention.
