[0001] [Cross-reference to related applications]

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202311262384X, filed on September 27, 2023, entitled “Loading Tray and Formation Device,” the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Technical field

[0003] The present application relates to the field of device loading technology, and in particular to a loading tray and a formation device. [Background Technology]

[0004] In the existing production process of loading objects, pallets are often used to load the loading objects to facilitate subsequent processes.

[0005] Different types of loading objects require suitable pallets. The current method of changing models is to replace the pallet model or the mounting part model to achieve loading of different types of loading objects.

[0006] However, this method of replacing trays or mounting parts has no compatibility and high replacement costs.

[0007] [Summary of the invention]

[0008] The present application provides at least one loading tray and a formation device.

[0009] The present application provides a loading pallet, which includes: a supporting frame, at least two mounting members and at least two limiting blocks, wherein the at least two mounting members are arranged side by side and fixedly on the supporting frame to separate at least one accommodating cavity on the supporting frame; wherein at least two groups of limiting mounting positions are provided on the mounting member, each group of limiting mounting positions includes at least one limiting mounting position distributed at intervals, and the arrangement spacing between each group of limiting mounting positions is not exactly the same; the at least two limiting blocks are detachably arranged corresponding to the limiting mounting positions on the at least two mounting members to limit at least one accommodating slot in each accommodating cavity.

[0010] In the above scheme, when the loading pallet is used to load objects of different models, the size of the formed accommodating groove can be changed by installing at least two limit blocks in different groups of limit installation positions to make it compatible with loading objects of different arrangements. This reduces the need to replace the mounting parts or the entire loading pallet when the loading pallet is used to load objects of different arrangements. It is only necessary to change the limit installation positions where multiple limit blocks are engaged, thereby improving the compatibility of the loading pallet with various models of loading objects and reducing the cost of changeover.

[0011] In some embodiments, at least two groups of limit mounting positions provided on the mounting member include a first group of limit mounting positions and a second group of limit mounting positions; wherein, the limit mounting positions of the first group of limit mounting positions are arranged equidistantly according to a first spacing, and the limit mounting positions of the second group of limit mounting positions are arranged equidistantly according to a second spacing; the first spacing is not equal to the second spacing.

[0012] In the above scheme, by providing a first group of limit mounting positions and a second group of limit mounting positions on the mounting part, the loading pallet can change the size of the formed accommodating groove by installing the limit blocks in the first group of limit mounting positions or the second group of limit mounting positions respectively, so that it can be adapted to the two types of loading objects respectively. This reduces the need to replace the mounting parts or the entire loading pallet when loading objects of different types. It is only necessary to adjust the limit mounting positions that can be earned by multiple limit blocks, thereby improving the compatibility of the loading pallet with various types of loading objects and reducing the cost of changeover.

[0013] In some embodiments, each limiting block forms a limiting groove at one end close to the corresponding receiving groove.

[0014] In the above scheme, when the loading object is loaded in the receiving slot, the bottoms of the two ends of the loading object are respectively placed in the limiting slots on the limiting blocks at the two ends of the corresponding receiving slot, so that the loading object is limited by the limiting slots at both ends of the receiving slot, the loading position of the loading object is clarified, and the position accuracy and stability of the loading object loaded in the loading pallet are further improved.

Furthermore, the single-sided fixing member, which is attached to and removably mounted on the support frame, is provided with at least two sets of limit mounting positions for removable mounting with the limit block.

[0023] In some embodiments, at least one first fixing hole is further provided on the unilateral fixing member; at least one first through hole is provided on the supporting frame, and the first fixing hole corresponds to the first through hole for inserting bolts to install the unilateral fixing member on the supporting frame.

[Specific implementation method]

[0051] The following embodiments of the technical solution of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present application and are therefore only examples and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application.

[0052] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the term "multiple" refers to more than two (including two). Similarly, "multiple groups" refers to more than two groups (including two groups), and "multiple pieces" refers to more than two pieces (including two pieces).

[0054] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, technical terms such as "installed," "connected," "connected," and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integration; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; internal connections between two components or interactions between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application based on specific circumstances.

[0055] In order to solve the problem that when using a loading pallet to load loading objects of different models, it is often necessary to change the pallet model or the mounting part model, the inventor of this solution provides at least two groups of limit mounting positions on the mounting part of the loading pallet. The limit mounting positions of each group are spaced apart, and the positions of each group of limit mounting positions are not exactly the same. This allows the accommodating cavity to be divided into accommodating slots of different sizes by installing the limit blocks into different groups of limit mounting positions, so that accommodating slots of different sizes can correspond to loading objects of different models. The loading pallet can be changed without replacing the pallet or the mounting parts, thereby improving the compatibility of the loading pallet and reducing the cost of changing the loading pallet.

[0056] The loading tray disclosed in the embodiments of the present application can be used to load objects in production, testing, or transportation scenarios. The objects may include, but are not limited to, battery cells, package substrates, printed circuit boards, electronic component objects, structures, or tools. Electronic component objects may include, but are not limited to, potentiometers, electron tubes, electromechanical components, connectors, semiconductor discrete objects, electroacoustic objects, relays, etc. Structures may include, but are not limited to, heat sinks, brake pads, and various components. Tools may include, but are not limited to, grinders, electric wrenches, electric screwdrivers, electric hammers, impact drills, concrete vibrators, and electric planers.

[0057] Please refer to Figures 1-3. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of an embodiment of a loading tray provided by this application. Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of an embodiment of a loading tray provided by this application. For ease of viewing, Figure 2 hides the support frame 110. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the top view of an embodiment of a mounting member provided by this application.

[0058] The loading tray 100 of this embodiment includes a support frame 110, at least two mounting members 120, and at least two limiting blocks 130. The at least two mounting members 120 are fixedly mounted side by side on the support frame 110 to define a plurality of accommodating cavities 111 on the support frame 110. Each mounting member 120 is provided with at least two groups of limiting mounting positions 121, each group of limiting mounting positions 121 being spaced apart, and the spacing between each group of limiting mounting positions 121 is not identical. The at least two limiting blocks 130 are detachably mounted corresponding to a group of limiting mounting positions 121 on the mounting member 120 to define at least one accommodating slot 112 within each accommodating cavity 111.

[0059] The support frame 110 is an outer frame of the loading tray 100, and is used to support the entire loading tray 100. The support frame 110 may include, but is not limited to, a concave structure, a planar structure, or a vertical structure.

[0060] Since an entire loading tray 100 often needs to load at least one loading object, and the at least one loading object is preferably arranged in an array in the loading tray 100 to improve its regularity and facilitate subsequent retrieval or processing, at least two mounting members 120 arranged side by side on the support frame 110 are used to divide the entire accommodating space of the support frame 110 into at least one row of accommodating cavities 111, and each row of accommodating cavities 111 is used to stack and arrange at least one loading object to perform regular loading of the loading objects.

[0061] The stoppers 130 are structural members provided at both ends of each receiving slot 112 and are used to raise and position the loaded object within each receiving slot 112, thereby ensuring that the loaded object can be stably placed within the receiving slot 112. Because the appearance of the loaded object is determined based on its own characteristics, its appearance may not match the receiving slot 112, resulting in a poor fit, looseness, or instability. Therefore, by providing stoppers 130 of a certain height and thickness at both ends of each receiving slot 112, the loaded object is fixed in position within the receiving slot 112, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the loaded object's position within the loading tray 100.

[0062] A limit block 130 is provided at each end of each receiving slot 112. Each limit block 130 is detachably provided with the mounting member 120. The number of limit blocks 130 in the loading tray 100 is twice the number of receiving slots 112, so that a limit block 130 is provided at each end of each receiving slot 112.

[0063] The specific location of each set of limiting mounting positions 121 can be set accordingly based on the type of object to be loaded. Specifically, the limiting blocks 130 are installed on different sets of limiting mounting positions 121 to form receiving slots 112 of different sizes to accommodate the loading of different types of objects. The types of objects to be loaded corresponding to each set of limiting mounting positions 121 can be identical or different to accommodate different loading requirements. Furthermore, the at least two sets of limiting mounting positions 121 can include, but are not limited to, two sets of limiting mounting positions 121, three sets of limiting mounting positions 121, or five sets of limiting mounting positions 121.

[0064] In a specific application scenario, when at least two groups of limit mounting positions 121 include three groups of limit mounting positions 121, and the three groups of limit mounting positions 121 correspond one-to-one to three types of loading objects, then when at least two limit blocks 130 are correspondingly installed on the first group of limit mounting positions 121, the formed accommodating slot 112 can load the corresponding first type of loading object; when at least two limit blocks 130 are correspondingly installed on each second group of limit mounting positions 121, the formed accommodating slot 112 can load the corresponding second type of loading object; when at least two limit blocks 130 are correspondingly installed on each third group of limit mounting positions 121, the formed accommodating slot 112 can load the corresponding third type of loading object, so that the loading pallet 100 of this embodiment can adapt to loading objects of different types of arrangements by installing the limit blocks 130 in different groups of limit mounting positions 121, thereby reducing the changeover cost of the loading pallet 100.

[0065] That is, in this embodiment, the entire accommodating space of the support frame 110 is divided into array-arranged accommodating slots 112 through the arrangement of the mounting parts 120 and the limit blocks 130. One loading object can be loaded in one corresponding accommodating slot 112, so that the loading objects loaded in the accommodating slots 112 are arranged in an array on the loading tray 100 and the positions are fixed, which facilitates multi-step processing or testing of the loading objects loaded in the loading tray 100.

[0066] Through the above structure, the loading pallet 100 of this embodiment can change the size of the formed accommodating groove 112 when it is used for loading objects of different models by installing at least two limit blocks 130 in different groups of limit mounting positions 121, so as to adapt it to loading objects of different arrangements. This reduces the need to replace the mounting parts 120 or the entire loading pallet 100 when the loading pallet 100 is used to load loading objects of different arrangements. It is only necessary to change the limit mounting positions 121 to which multiple limit blocks 130 are engaged, thereby improving the compatibility of the loading pallet 100 with various models of loading objects and reducing the cost of replacement.

[0067] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to FIG3 , the at least two groups of position-limiting mounting positions 121 provided on each mounting member 120 include a first group of position-limiting mounting positions 1211 and a second group of position-limiting mounting positions 1212. The position-limiting mounting positions 121 in the first group of position-limiting mounting positions 1211 are arranged equidistantly according to a first spacing, and the position-limiting mounting positions 121 in the second group of position-limiting mounting positions 1212 are arranged equidistantly according to a second spacing; the first spacing is not equal to the second spacing.

[0068] When the limit block 130 is installed on the first set of limit installation positions 1211, the width of the formed accommodating groove 112 is the first spacing, and when the limit block 130 is installed on the second set of limit installation positions 1212, the width of the formed accommodating groove 112 is the second spacing.

[0069] The specific values ​​of the first spacing and the second spacing are determined according to the model thickness of the corresponding loading object.

[0070] The above scheme, by providing a first group of limit mounting positions 1211 and a second group of limit mounting positions 1212 on the mounting member 120, enables the loading pallet 100 to change the size of the formed accommodating groove 112 by installing the limit blocks 130 in the first group of limit mounting positions 1211 or the second group of limit mounting positions 1212 respectively, so as to adapt to the two types of loading objects respectively. This reduces the need to replace the mounting member 120 or the entire loading pallet 100 when the loading pallet 100 loads loading objects of different types. It is only necessary to adjust the limit mounting positions 121 that can be earned by multiple limit blocks 130, thereby improving the compatibility of the loading pallet 100 with various types of loading objects and reducing the cost of replacement.

[0071] Please further refer to Figures 4-6. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of an embodiment of the limit block provided by the present application. Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the top view of an embodiment of the limit block provided by the present application. Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the front view of an embodiment of the limit block provided by the present application.

[0072] According to some embodiments of the present application, each limiting block 130 forms a limiting groove 133 at one end close to the corresponding receiving groove 112. The limiting groove 133 is used to place the loaded object, thereby limiting the loaded object.

[0073] The size and shape of the limiting groove 133 can be set based on the size and shape of the bottom of the loaded object. In a specific application scenario, when the bottom of the loaded object is provided with a protrusion, the limiting groove 133 can be a groove provided on the top surface of the limiting block 130, with four closed sides, so that the protrusion at the bottom of the loaded object is inserted into the groove for positioning. In another specific application scenario, when the bottom of the loaded object is flat, the limiting groove 133 can be a vertically open groove provided on the top surface of the limiting block 130, with the side of the vertically open groove adjacent to the opposite limiting block 130 also open, so that the bottom of the loaded object on both sides is placed in the vertically open grooves at both ends of the receiving groove 112 for positioning. When the bottom of the loaded object has other sizes and shapes, the size and shape of the limiting groove 133 match them.

[0074] The above structure ensures that when a loading object is loaded in the receiving slot 112, the bottoms of both ends of the loading object are respectively placed in the limiting slots 133 on the limiting blocks 130 at both ends of the corresponding receiving slot 112, thereby limiting the loading object by the limiting slots 133 at both ends of the receiving slot 112, clarifying the loading position of the loading object, and further improving the position accuracy and stability of the loading object loaded in the loading tray 100.

[0075] One end of the limiting groove 133 close to the corresponding accommodating groove 112 can be an opening, and in the vertical direction, a plurality of height limiting grooves 134 are correspondingly arranged on the groove walls on both sides of the opening. The height limiting grooves 134 are used to insert height limiting parts (not shown) to adjust the limiting height of the limiting groove 133.

[0076] The above solution can change the limiting height of the limiting slot 133 by inserting the height limiting member into the height limiting slot 134 at different heights. This allows the limiting slot 133 to limit loading objects of the same thickness but different heights, further improving the compatibility of the limiting slot 133 and further expanding the compatibility and application range of the loading tray 100, thereby reducing the cost of replacement.

[0077] According to some embodiments of the present application, a first limiting groove 131 and a second limiting groove 132 of different sizes are respectively formed at opposite ends of each limiting block 130 .

[0078] In the above structure, the first and second limiting slots 131 and 132 of different sizes can be respectively adapted to accommodate two load objects of different sizes. Specifically, when accommodating load objects of two different sizes, the limiting block 130 can be simply reoriented to accommodate both sizes without having to replace the entire limiting block 130. This further improves the compatibility and usability of the loading tray 100 and reduces the cost of replacing the limiting block 130.

[0079] Please refer to FIG. 7 , which is a schematic side structural diagram of an embodiment of a mounting member provided in the present application.

[0080] According to some embodiments of the present application, the loading tray 100 further includes at least one partition 140; each mounting member 120 is provided with at least two sets of partition mounting positions 1200 on a side adjacent to the accommodating cavity 111, such that partition mounting positions 1200 are provided on opposite sides of each accommodating cavity 111. The partition mounting positions 1200 may include, but are not limited to, mounting structures such as grooves, snap-fit ​​positions, or clamps provided on the mounting member 120.

[0081] Each group of partition installation positions 1200 is distributed at intervals, and the positions of each group of partition installation positions 1200 are not exactly the same; the two ends of the partition 140 are respectively movably engaged with a group of partition installation positions 1200 corresponding to the opposite sides of the accommodating cavity 111 to separate each adjacent two accommodating grooves 112.

[0082] Separators 140 can be used for separation and protection. For example, when electronic devices are loaded, they may short-circuit, fail, or catch fire. By providing separators 140, any such issues with one loaded object can be mitigated from affecting other adjacent loaded objects. Separators 140 can be made of materials including, but not limited to, flame-retardant, thermally insulating materials such as phenolic foam (PF), ceramics, and fire-resistant glass.

[0083] At least two groups of separated installation positions 1200 are provided on one side of each installation member 120 close to the accommodating cavity 111 . The separated installation positions 1200 of each group are distributed at intervals, and the positions of each group of separated installation positions 1200 are not completely the same.

[0084] The at least two sets of partitioning mounting positions 1200 are configured to correspond to the at least two sets of limiting mounting positions 121 to accommodate objects arranged at different spacings. Limiting mounting positions 121 are used to mount limiting blocks 130, which are used to limit the position of at least one receiving slot 112 within loading tray 100. The partitioning mounting positions 1200 are used to mount dividers 140, so that dividers 140 are located on opposite sides of receiving slot 112, thereby separating each receiving slot 112.

[0085] The above solution provides a partitioning mounting position 1200 on the side of each mounting member 120 near the accommodating cavity 111 to engage with the partitioning member 140. Thus, the partitioning member 140 separates the accommodating slots 112, reducing the mutual interference between the objects loaded in the accommodating slots 112 and improving the safety of the objects loaded on the loading tray 100. Furthermore, the side of the mounting member 120 near the accommodating cavity 111 is provided with at least two sets of partitioning mounting positions 1200. By changing the partitioning mounting position 1200 that the partitioning member 140 engages with and cooperates with the limiting block 130, the loading tray 100 can be adapted to accommodate objects of different arrangements and sizes. This increases the applicability of the loading tray 100 and reduces its replacement costs.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 7. This embodiment is described by taking the example of each mounting member 120 having two groups of separated mounting positions 1200 disposed on the side close to the accommodating cavity 111 as an example. When each mounting member 120 has other groups of separated mounting positions 1200 disposed on the side close to the accommodating cavity 111, the structure is similar and will not be described in detail.

[0087] The two groups of separated mounting positions 1200 on one side of each mounting member 120 close to the accommodating cavity 111 include a first group of separated mounting positions 1201 and a second group of separated mounting positions 1202 .

[0088] Among them, each two adjacent first group separation installation positions 1201 can be arranged equidistantly according to a first spacing; each two adjacent second group separation installation positions 1202 can be arranged equidistantly according to a second spacing; the first spacing is not equal to the second spacing.

[0089] The first group of separating mounting positions 1201 and the second group of separating mounting positions 1202 can be respectively arranged to correspond to the first group of limiting mounting positions 1211 and the second group of limiting mounting positions 1212 to jointly match loading objects of different models and thicknesses.

[0090] Please further refer to FIG. 2 . According to some embodiments of the present application, the mounting member 120 includes two first mounting members 122 and at least one second mounting member 123. The two first mounting members 122 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the support frame 110. The second mounting members 123 can be evenly arranged side by side between the two first mounting members 122 to ensure that the range of each row of accommodating cavities 111 is equal. Alternatively, the second mounting members 123 can be unevenly arranged side by side between the two first mounting members 122 to adapt to different accommodating requirements of the accommodating cavities 111.

[0091] The first mounting member 122 is a mounting member 120 disposed at an edge of the support frame 110, while the second mounting member 123 is a mounting member 120 disposed in the middle region of the support frame 110. The number of second mounting members 123 is determined based on the size of the support frame 110 and the size of the object being loaded, and may include, but is not limited to, one, two, three, or four. This embodiment uses two as an example for illustration.

[0092] The above solution divides the supporting frame 110 into multiple rows of accommodating cavities 111 by two first mounting members 122 and at least one second mounting member 123 , which can improve the loading standardization of the loading tray 100 and facilitate the positioning of the loaded objects.

[0103] According to some embodiments of the present application, the second mounting member 123 includes a double-sided fixing member 127 and a double-sided upright member 126 .

[0104] The double-sided upright member 126 is provided with at least two corresponding sets of partition mounting positions 1200 on opposite sides close to the accommodating cavity 111. The bilateral fixing member 127 is a fixing member that is detachably provided with the support frame 110 on both opposite sides thereof.

[0105] The second mounting member 123 has accommodating cavities 111 on opposite sides of the double-sided upright member 126. Consequently, at least two corresponding sets of position-limiting mounting locations 121 are provided on opposite sides of the double-sided upright member 126 to accommodate different position-limiting blocks 130, forming accommodating slots 112 of varying sizes. At least two sets of partitioning mounting locations 1200 are provided on opposite sides of the bilateral fixing member 127 to engage the partitioning member 140 based on accommodating slots 112 of varying sizes.

[0107] The center line 180 of the bilateral fixing member 127 is a line connecting the midpoints of the short sides of the bilateral fixing member 127 on two opposite sides.

[0108] In the above structure, the second mounting member 123 is attached to and removably mounted on the support frame 110 via the bilateral fixing member 127, thereby causing the double-sided upright member 126, which is arranged perpendicular thereto, to stand upright, with both sides provided with the partition mounting positions 1200 facing the accommodating cavity 111, facilitating the insertion of the partition member 140. Furthermore, the bilateral fixing member 127, which is attached to and removably mounted on the support frame 110, is provided with at least two sets of limiter mounting positions 121, which are removably mounted with the limit block 130.

[0109] Please further refer to FIG. 6 , FIG. 10 and FIG. 12 . FIG. 12 is a schematic top view of the structure of an embodiment of a second mounting member provided in the present application.

[0110] According to some embodiments of the present application, at least one second fixing hole 154 is respectively provided on the opposite sides of the bilateral fixing piece 127; at least one first through hole 113 is provided on the support frame 110, and the second fixing hole 154 corresponds to the first through hole 113, so that bolts can be installed to install the bilateral fixing piece 127 on the support frame 110.

[0111] When the loading tray 100 needs to replace the second mounting member 123 , the second mounting member 123 can be removed by simply removing the bolts.

[0112] The above structure can accurately install the second mounting member 123 at the target position of the support frame 110 and realize a detachable setting through the matching setting between at least one first through hole 113 on the support frame 110 and at least one corresponding second fixing hole 154 on the bilateral fixing member 127.

[0113] Please further refer to FIG. 13 , which is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a position limiting installation position provided by the present application.

[0114] According to some embodiments of the present application, the limiting mounting position 121 includes a third fixing hole 152 and at least one first limiting pin hole 151. Referring to FIG6 , each limiting block 130 is provided with at least one limiting pin 135 and a second through hole 136 on one side thereof close to the mounting member 120 .

[0115] The first limiting pin hole 151 is used to be inserted with the limiting pin 135 on the limiting block 130 , and the third fixing hole 152 is used to be bolted to the second through hole 136 on the limiting block 130 to achieve a detachable setting between the first mounting member 122 and the support frame 110 .

[0116] The number and position of the upper limit pins 135 on the limit block 130 correspond to the number and position of the first limit pin holes 151 on the limit mounting position 121, and they match each other in a one-to-one correspondence. The number of upper limit pins 135 on a limit block 130 and the number of first limit pin holes 151 on a limit mounting position 121 can include, but are not limited to, 1, 2, 3, or 4.

[0117] Each limiting pin 135 is inserted into the corresponding first limiting pin hole 151 to limit the limiting block 130 on the limiting installation position 121 .

[0118] The third fixing hole 152 corresponds to the second through hole 136 and is used to receive a bolt (not shown) to removably mount the stopper 130 on the stopper mounting position 121. When the stopper 130 needs to be replaced after loading the tray 100, simply remove the bolt and pull the stopper pin 135 out of the first stopper pin hole 151 to remove the stopper 130.

[0119] The above structure can accurately install the limit block 130 on the limit installation position 121 and realize a detachable setting through the matching setting between at least one first limit pin hole 151 on the limit installation position 121, at least one third fixing hole 152, and at least one limit pin 135 and the second through hole 136 on each limit block 130.

[0120] Please further refer to FIG. 14 , which is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a loading tray in use provided by the present application.

[0121] According to some embodiments of the present application, the loading tray 100 is loaded with battery cells 190 .

[0122] The loading tray 100 of this embodiment can be configured with at least two groups of position-limiting mounting positions 121 on the mounting member 120. Each group of position-limiting mounting positions 121 can correspondingly limit the positions of battery cells 190 in different channels. This allows the position-limiting blocks 130 to be installed with different groups of position-limiting mounting positions 121, thereby dividing each column of accommodating cavities 111 into a plurality of accommodating slots 112 of different sizes, thereby accommodating battery cells 190 in different channels. The number of channels refers to the number of battery cells 190 that can be placed in a column of accommodating cavities 111.

[0123] In a specific application scenario, when at least two groups of limit mounting positions 121 on each mounting member 120 include a first group of limit mounting positions 1211 and a second group of limit mounting positions 1212, the first spacing between the first group of limit mounting positions 1211 can be set based on the model thickness of the 12-channel battery cell 190, and the first spacing between the second group of limit mounting positions 1212 can be set based on the model thickness of the 10-channel battery cell 190. Then, when it is necessary to change the loading tray 100 from loading 12-channel battery cells 190 to loading 10-channel battery cells 190, it is only necessary to remove the limit block 130 from the first group of limit mounting positions 1211 and reinstall it in the second group of limit mounting positions 1212. There is no need to replace the loading tray 100 or the mounting member 120, thereby improving the compatibility of the loading tray 100 and reducing the conversion cost of the loading tray 100.

[0124] A first limiting groove 131 and a second limiting groove 132 of different sizes are formed at opposite ends of each limiting block 130. The first limiting groove 131 and the second limiting groove 132 can respectively adapt to the loading of battery cells 190 of different sizes in the same channel.

[0125] In a specific application scenario, the first limiting groove 131 and the second limiting groove 132 can be used to accommodate the loading of battery cells 190 of different sizes in a 12-channel system. If the first limiting groove 131 originally faces the accommodating cavity 111 to load battery cell A, the limiting block 130 can be removed and then installed on the mounting member 120 in reverse, with the second limiting groove 132 facing the accommodating cavity 111 to load battery cell B.

[0126] Therefore, in the loading scenario of battery cells 190 of different sizes under the same channel, it is only necessary to change the installation direction of the limit block 130 to achieve the loading of battery cells 190 of different sizes, further improving the compatibility of the loading tray 100 and reducing the replacement cost of the loading tray 100.

[0127] When the loading tray 100 of this embodiment is used to load battery cells 190, after loading the battery cells 190, the loading tray 100 can be placed in a formation device so that the formation device can charge and discharge the battery cells 190 for formation; the loading tray 100 can also be placed on a shelf, and the battery cells 190 can be soaked in high temperature by changing the ambient temperature of the loading tray 100; the loading tray 100 can also be placed on a shelf and kept for a period of time to perform self-discharge testing, etc.

[0128] Please further refer to FIG. 15 , which is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a formation device provided in the present application.

[0129] The formation apparatus 200 includes a frame 210 , a loading tray 100 , and a power connection assembly 220 .

[0130] The frame 210 is formed with a loading space 211 , and the loading tray 100 is disposed in the loading space 211 and loaded with battery cells. The power connection assembly 220 is fixedly disposed on the frame 210 for charging and discharging the battery cells in the loading tray 100 .

[0131] The frame 210 is the main frame structure of the formation apparatus 200 and is used to support the entire formation apparatus 200. The loading space 211 is used to place the loading tray 100. The power connection assembly 220 is used to electrically connect to the battery cells loaded on the loading tray 100 to charge and discharge the battery cells in the loading tray 100, thereby performing formation.

[0132] The loading tray 100 of this embodiment includes the loading tray 100 of the above-mentioned embodiment.

[0133] The above solution can utilize the loading tray 100 to adapt to battery cells of different arrangements and models, thereby improving the compatibility of the loading tray 100 with various models of battery cells and reducing the cost of replacement, thereby improving the efficiency of the formation device 200 in forming various models of battery cells and improving the ease of use of the formation device 200.
