Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of battery cell production tools, and more specifically, to a battery cell cassette. Background Technology

[0002] During the production process, solar cells need to be placed in a material box for transfer and storage.

[0003] Existing cell collection boxes (e.g., patent number CN 220341187 U, titled "An Adjustable Cell Collection Box") include a mounting base, a carrying plate disposed on the mounting base, and a baffle disposed on the carrying plate. A universal joint is provided between the carrying plate and the mounting base. The mounting base is provided with a mounting sleeve. One end of the universal joint is slidably inserted into the mounting sleeve, and the carrying plate is disposed at the other end of the universal joint. When receiving cells transported from different directions, the universal joint is driven to rotate to adjust the receiving angle of the collection box inlet, eliminating the need to disassemble and reassemble the collection device. Simultaneously, when receiving cells transported from different heights, the universal joint is driven to slide to adjust the height of the carrying plate. This type of cell collection box, by setting two sets of baffles to form a semi-open structure, can accommodate cells of various sizes. However, if the cell size exceeds the length of the carrying plate, the protruding cell is prone to collision and breakage. Setting multiple sets of baffles, on the other hand, cannot achieve adaptation to cells of various sizes. Utility Model Content

Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways, rotated 90 degrees, or in other orientations, and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0023] like Figure 1As shown, Embodiment 1 relates to a battery cell cassette, including a support structure 10 and a cassette carrier 20. The support structure 10 includes a base 11, a support portion 12, and an angle adjustment portion 13. A first end of the support portion 12 is disposed on the base 11, and a second end of the support portion 12 is connected to the angle adjustment portion 13. The cassette carrier 20 is disposed above the angle adjustment portion 13. The cassette carrier 20 includes a carrier body 21, a first stop 22, and a second stop 23. The carrier body 21 has a receiving space 211. The first stop 22 and the second stop 23 are movably disposed within the receiving space 211, and the first stop 22 and the second stop 23 are disposed adjacent to each other.

[0024] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the battery cell cassette includes a support structure 10 and a cassette carrier 20. The support structure 10 includes a base 11, a support portion 12, and an angle adjustment portion 13. The first end of the support portion 12 is disposed on the base 11, and the second end of the support portion 12 is connected to the angle adjustment portion 13. The cassette carrier 20 is disposed above the angle adjustment portion 13. The cassette carrier 20 includes a carrier body 21, a first stop 22, and a second stop 23. The carrier body 21 has an accommodating space, and the battery cells are placed in the accommodating space 211 for storage. The first stop 22 and the second stop 23 are movably disposed in the accommodating space 211, and the first stop 22 and the second stop 23 are arranged adjacent to each other. By adjusting the first stop 22 and the second stop 23, the size of the accommodating space 211 can be adjusted, thereby achieving the adaptation of battery cells of different sizes. At the same time, the first stop 22 and the second stop 23 can limit the position of the battery cells, making the placement of the battery cells more stable. The technical solution of this embodiment effectively solves the problem of poor stability of the existing battery cell cassette when adapting to battery cells of various sizes.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the projection of the carrier body 21 in the vertical direction is rectangular. One side plane corresponding to the width side of the carrier body 21 has a first threaded hole, and one side plane corresponding to the length side of the carrier body 21 has a second threaded hole. The material box carrier 20 also includes a first adjusting rod 24 and a second adjusting rod 25. The first adjusting rod 24 passes through the first threaded hole and is connected to the first stop 22. The first stop 22 can be moved by operating the first adjusting rod 24. The second adjusting rod 25 passes through the second threaded hole and is connected to the second stop 23. The second stop 23 can be moved by operating the second adjusting rod 25. With the movement of the first stop 22 and the second stop 23, the size of the accommodating space 211 can be adjusted, thereby matching it with battery cells of different sizes.

[0026] It should be noted that buffer pads can be added to the side of the first stop 22 and the second stop 23 facing the battery cell to avoid damage to the battery cell when limiting its movement.

[0027] It should also be noted that a third and a fourth stop can be set along the other two sides of the carrier body 21 in the accommodating space 211, and a matching third and a fourth adjustment rod can also be set. This can also adjust the size of the accommodating space 211 and make the battery cell located in the center of the accommodating space 211, so that the overall force of the battery cell box is more even.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the first adjusting rod 24 includes a first rod segment 241, a second rod segment 242, and an operating block 243. The first end of the first rod segment 241 is fixedly connected to the first stop block 22. The second end of the first rod segment 241 is inserted into the second rod segment 242. The first end of the second rod segment 242 is rotatably sleeved on the circumferential outer side of the first rod segment 241. The second end of the second rod segment 242 is fixedly connected to the operating block 243. The surface of the second rod segment 242 has threads, and the second rod segment 242 is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole. Specifically, the operator rotates the operating block 243 to drive the second rod segment 242 to rotate around the first rod segment 241. The second rod segment 242 is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole. As the second rod segment 242 rotates, it drives the first rod segment 241 to move, thereby moving the first stop block 22.

[0029] In the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the size of the operating block 243 is larger than that of the first threaded hole. Therefore, the operating block 243 can not only be easy for the operator to hold, but also play a limiting role to prevent the second rod segment 242 from coming out of the first threaded hole.

[0030] It should be noted that the second adjusting lever 25 and the first adjusting lever 24 have the same structure, which will not be described again here.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the second end of the first rod segment 241 is fixedly connected to a limiting block 2411, and the first end of the second rod segment 242 is provided with a first baffle 2421 and a second baffle 2422 at a distance from each other. The first baffle 2421 has a first through hole, and the first rod segment 241 passes through the first through hole so that the limiting block 2411 is inserted into the second rod segment 242. The limiting block 2411 is located between the first baffle 2421 and the second baffle 2422, and the two sides of the limiting block 2411 abut against the first baffle 2421 and the second baffle 2422 respectively. At this time, the first baffle 2421 and the second baffle 2422 can limit the movement of the limiting block 2411 along the axial direction of the second rod segment 242, and the rotation of the second rod segment 242 is not affected. As the second rod segment 242 moves, the contact between the first baffle 2421 or the second baffle 2422 and the limiting block 2411 can drive the limiting block 2411 to move along the axial direction of the second rod segment 242, thereby driving the first rod segment 241 to move.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the angle adjustment part 13 includes a first connecting plate 131, a first adjusting plate 132, a second adjusting plate 133, a third adjusting plate 134, and a second connecting plate 135. The first connecting plate 131 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the vehicle body 21. The first connecting plate 131 and the second connecting plate 135 are both perpendicularly arranged to the first adjusting plate 132, the second adjusting plate 133, and the third adjusting plate 134. The first adjusting plate 132 and the first connecting plate 131 are fixedly connected. The second adjusting plate 133 and the third adjusting plate 134 are fixedly connected to the second connecting plate 135 at a distance from each other. The second connecting plate 135 is fixedly connected to the support part 12. The first adjusting plate 132 is inserted between the second adjusting plate 133 and the third adjusting plate 134. The first adjusting plate 132 can rotate relative to the second adjusting plate 133, and the first adjusting plate 132 drives the vehicle body 21 to adjust the angle.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the first adjusting plate 132 has a first adjusting hole, the second adjusting plate 133 has a second adjusting hole, and the third adjusting plate 134 has a third adjusting hole. The bolt passes through the second adjusting hole, the first adjusting hole, and the third adjusting hole in sequence and is locked with the nut, so that the first adjusting plate 132 can be adjusted in angle relative to the second adjusting plate 133 and the third adjusting plate 134.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the support structure 10 further includes a movable block 14, and the support part 12 is mounted on the base 11 via the movable block 14. The position of the support part 12 can be adjusted as the movable block 14 moves.

[0035] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the bottom of the moving block 14 is provided with a latching protrusion 141, the projection of the base 11 in the vertical direction is rectangular, the base 11 is provided with a first latching groove 111 along the length direction, and the base 11 is provided with a second latching groove 112 along the width direction. The first latching groove 111 and the second latching groove 112 overlap, and the latching protrusion 141 is movably disposed in the first latching groove 111 or the second latching groove 112, thereby realizing the movement of the moving block 14, and finally realizing the movement of the material box carrier 20.

[0036] like Figure 6As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the support part 12 is a lead screw structure, which includes a lifting lead screw 121, a limiting nut 122, and a support cylinder 123. One end of the lifting lead screw is connected to the moving block 14, and the other end is inserted into the support cylinder 123. The support cylinder is connected to the angle adjustment part 13. The limiting nut 122 is engaged with the circumferential outer side of the lifting lead screw 121. As the limiting nut 122 rotates, it moves axially along the lifting lead screw 121, causing the support cylinder 123 to move synchronously. After moving to a suitable position, the position is fixed by self-locking.

[0037] like Figure 7 As shown, the technical solution of Embodiment 2 differs from that of Embodiment 1 in that the first adjusting rod 24 includes a first rod segment 241, an operating block 243, and a locking nut 244. One side plane corresponding to the width side of the carrier body 21 has a first light hole. The first rod segment 241 is a threaded rod. The first end of the first rod segment 241 passes through the first light hole and is connected to the first stop block 22. The second end of the first rod segment 241 is connected to the operating block 243. Two locking nuts 244 are provided, located on both sides of the side wall of the carrier body 21. The locking nut 244 is limited by the engagement of the locking nut 244 and the first rod segment 241, and by the abutment of the locking nut 244 and the carrier body 21.

[0038] like Figure 8 As shown, the technical solution of Embodiment 3 differs from Embodiment 1 in that the support part 12 is a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric actuator. The cylinder body is connected to the moving block 14, and the actuator is connected to the second connecting plate 135. The cylinder body adjusts the piston height by controlling the introduction of high-pressure gas, thereby driving the actuator connected to the piston to rise and fall, ultimately raising and lowering the material box carrier 20, allowing the material box carrier to place battery cells of different heights. The hydraulic cylinder adjusts the piston height by controlling the introduction of hydraulic oil, thereby driving the actuator connected to the piston to rise and fall, ultimately raising and lowering the material box carrier 20, allowing the material box carrier 20 to place battery cells of different heights. Different storage capacities correspond to different weights, and the cylinder or hydraulic cylinder can be flexibly selected according to the support weight. The electric actuator is driven by a motor, and through the cooperation of a reduction gear, lead screw, and nut pair, the lead screw rotates, and the nut moves along the axial direction of the lead screw, thereby driving the actuator to extend and retract, realizing the raising and lowering of the material box carrier 20. The cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, and electric actuators are all existing technologies, and their specific structural details will not be elaborated here.
