In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0023] Example See attached Figures 1-3This embodiment discloses a clustering fixture for an energy storage system PACK box, including an energy storage container 1, an adjustable fixed base 2, and a safety control module. Used in conjunction with a forklift or AGV, it enables a semi-automated process from fixing and transporting the PACK box 3 to its clustering storage. Specifically, the energy storage container 1 serves as the storage carrier for the PACK box 3, and its structure is an installation frame 4. This installation frame 4 adopts a rigid frame structure design, providing a stable support foundation. Several vertical supports 5 are evenly spaced along the length of the installation frame 4. The vertical supports 5 are fixedly connected to the installation frame 4 by welding or high-strength bolts to ensure the verticality and structural stability of the vertical supports 5 and prevent deformation after long-term load-bearing. A horizontal support 6 is fixedly installed on each vertical support 5, and the horizontal supports 6 on opposite sides of two adjacent vertical supports 5 are on the same horizontal plane. The horizontal support 6 can be fixed at a preset height position by welding to the vertical support 5, or it can be detachably connected by bolts, which facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement. The horizontal supports 6 on adjacent vertical supports 5 form a set of support units, and multiple sets of support units are evenly distributed along the length and width of the mounting frame 4.

[0024] In one embodiment, the adjustable mounting base 2 adopts a mesh-like high-strength aluminum alloy structure. This structure reduces the weight of the adjustable mounting base 2 itself while having sufficient load-bearing capacity to support a weight of 300kg, meeting the load-bearing requirements of PACK boxes 3 of different weights. Several mounting holes 7 are evenly distributed along the length and width directions on the adjustable mounting base 2, and the mounting holes 7 are through-hole structures. A connecting plate is integrally formed on the periphery of the PACK box 3. When fixing the PACK box 3, first, according to the specific dimensions of the PACK box 3, adjust the placement position of the PACK box 3 on the adjustable mounting base 2 so that the connecting plate of the PACK box 3 fits against the surface of the adjustable mounting base 2. Then, select the mounting hole 7 corresponding to the position of the connecting plate, and insert the limiting pin 8 from top to bottom into the mounting hole 7. The outer diameter of the limiting pin 8 matches the diameter of the mounting hole 7, ensuring that the limiting pin 8 can be inserted smoothly without significant shaking. The head of the limiting pin 8 presses against the upper surface of the connecting plate, achieving detachable fixing of the PACK box 3 to the base. Since the mounting holes 7 are evenly distributed along the length and width of the adjustable fixing base 2, and the distribution density meets the adaptation requirements, the adjustable fixing base 2 can be compatible with various PACK boxes 3 with lengths ranging from 300mm to 1200mm and widths ranging from 200mm to 600mm. Fixing can be completed simply by selecting the corresponding mounting holes 7 according to the actual size, without the need to replace the special base, which greatly improves the versatility of the tooling.

[0025] In one embodiment, multiple sets of guide grooves are provided at the bottom of the adjustable fixed base 2 along the length and width directions. The size of these grooves is adapted to the expansion wheel set or bracket accessory. The expansion wheel set and bracket accessory are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. At the same time, the bottom of the adjustable fixed base 2 is also provided with standardized interfaces, such as standardized bolt holes and snap-fit ​​interfaces. When it is necessary to expand the application scenario, the expansion wheel set or bracket accessory can be quickly positioned through the guide grooves and then fixed through the standardized interfaces, thereby improving the expandability of the tooling.

[0026] In one embodiment, the adjustable fixed base 2 has a modular interface reserved at its end or side. This interface adopts an industry-standard design, such as a fork hole adapted to forklift forks. When used with a forklift, the forklift forks can be directly inserted into the fork hole of the modular interface, and the adjustable fixed base 2 can be transferred by the support of the forks. At the same time, the modular interface can also be a structure that can be used with AGVs to realize the automated transfer of the adjustable fixed base 2.

[0027] In one embodiment, the safety control module comprises a pressure sensor, an audible and visual alarm, and a laser positioning auxiliary device, all of which are electrically connected via wireless communication. The number of pressure sensors matches the number of support units on the horizontal support 6 inside the energy storage container 1. At least one pressure sensor is fixedly installed on the horizontal support 6 of each support unit, with the sensing surface of the pressure sensor facing upwards and in contact with the bottom of the adjustable fixed base 2. When the PACK box 3 is placed on the horizontal support 6 via the adjustable fixed base 2, the pressure sensor converts the detected pressure signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the alarm. If the pressure of a support unit exceeds a preset threshold, an overload occurs. Alternatively, only one pressure sensor can be installed, located at the lower part of the mounting frame 4, to monitor the overall weight of the mounting frame 4 and the PACK box 3 on it. When the pressure sensor detects that the total mass exceeds a preset threshold, an overload occurs, and the alarm will be triggered immediately to achieve overload protection.

[0028] In one embodiment, the laser positioning assist device is fixedly installed on the forklift carriage of a forklift or the front end of the AGV's carrying platform. Its installation height is adapted to the height of the horizontal support 6 inside the energy storage container 1, ensuring the laser beam accurately points to the target area. The signal output of the laser positioning assist device is connected to an audible and visual alarm. The laser positioning assist device emits a laser beam towards the horizontal support 6 inside the energy storage container 1. Positioning marks, such as reflective strips, are preset on the horizontal support 6. The operator observes the alignment of the laser beam with the positioning marks and adjusts the position of the forklift or AGV to ensure precise alignment between the adjustable fixed base 2 and the horizontal support 6. If the deviation between the laser beam and the positioning marks exceeds a preset range, the laser positioning assist device will send a deviation signal to the alarm, triggering an audible and visual alarm to remind the operator to adjust in time, preventing the base from becoming unstable or colliding with the vertical support 5 due to alignment deviation.

[0029] In one embodiment, the audible and visual alarm can simultaneously emit a sound alarm and a flashing alarm. The sound alarm is a clear beeping tone or voice prompt, and the flashing alarm is a bright red or yellow flashing light, ensuring that even in a noisy working environment, operators can quickly detect abnormalities and take timely measures such as stopping the machine or making adjustments to ensure operational safety.

[0030] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model. Technologies, shapes, and structural parts not described in detail in this utility model are all known technologies.
