[0001] Cross-reference to related applications

[0002] This application is based on Chinese Patent Application No. 202421095207.7, filed on May 20, 2024, entitled “Battery tray and battery processing equipment”, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The present application relates to the technical field of battery processing, and in particular to a battery tray and a battery processing equipment. BACKGROUND

[0004] Whether on an automatic production line of batteries or on an automatic rework line of batteries, a battery tray is widely used as a carrying turnover mechanism. Usually, the battery tray needs to fix the batteries thereon so that the batteries can be reliably processed.

[0005] However, in some cases, the compatibility of the battery tray with the batteries is small, which affects the battery processing efficiency.

[0006] SUMMARY

[0007] In view of the problem, the present application provides a battery tray and a battery processing equipment, which can alleviate the problem that the compatibility of the battery tray with the batteries is small, which affects the battery processing efficiency.

[0008] In a first aspect, the present application provides a battery tray, comprising:

[0009] a base;

[0010] at least one first positioning assembly arranged on the base, each first positioning assembly being configured to form a first positioning space;

[0011] and a second positioning assembly arranged on the base and configured to form a second positioning space;

[0012] wherein, in the thickness direction of the base, all the first positioning spaces are located on one side of the second positioning space, and at least one first positioning space is in communication with the second positioning space.

[0013] The first positioning space of the battery tray can accommodate at least one size of battery, battery module or battery pack formed by a plurality of battery monomers, and the second positioning space of the battery tray can accommodate at least another size of battery, battery module or battery pack formed by a plurality of battery monomers, thereby improving the compatibility of the battery tray; and since all the first positioning spaces are located on one side of the second positioning space, the two positioning spaces do not interfere with each other in position while being more compact, thereby reducing the overall size of the battery tray; in addition, in the thickness direction of the base, the battery, battery module or battery pack formed by a plurality of battery monomers is usually exposed to the battery tray to make the direction of the battery processing equipment for processing, and the at least one first positioning space in communication with the second positioning space will not affect the processing of the battery, battery module or battery pack formed by a plurality of battery monomers.

[0014] In some embodiments, each first positioning assembly at least includes oppositely arranged first and second positioning members, a first positioning space is formed between the first and second positioning members, and at least one of the first and second positioning members can move towards or away from the other.

[0015] In some embodiments, the second positioning assembly at least includes oppositely arranged third and fourth positioning members, a second positioning space is formed between the third and fourth positioning members, and at least one of the third and fourth positioning members can move towards or away from the other.

[0016] In some embodiments, each first positioning assembly at least includes oppositely arranged first and second positioning members, a first positioning space is formed between the first and second positioning members, and at least one of the first and second positioning members can move towards or away from the other, and the second positioning assembly at least includes oppositely arranged third and fourth positioning members, a second positioning space is formed between the third and fourth positioning members, and at least one of the third and fourth positioning members can move towards or away from the other.

[0017] By arranging at least one of the first and second positioning members to move towards or away from the other, the size of the first positioning space can be changed, so that the first positioning assembly can accommodate positioning of batteries, battery modules or battery packs formed by a plurality of battery monomers of various size specifications, further improving the compatibility of the battery tray. By arranging at least one of the third and fourth positioning members to move towards or away from the other, the size of the second positioning space can be changed, so that the second positioning assembly can accommodate positioning of batteries, battery modules or battery packs formed by a plurality of battery monomers of various size specifications, further improving the compatibility of the battery tray.

[0018] In some embodiments, when the first positioning assembly comprises a plurality, the first positioning members of all the first positioning assemblies are capable of approaching or moving away from the corresponding second positioning members, and the first positioning members of all the first positioning assemblies are connected to each other.

[0019] By connecting the first positioning members of all the first positioning assemblies to each other, the linkage of the first positioning members of all the first positioning assemblies relative to the second positioning members of all the first positioning assemblies can be realized, and thus the size of the first positioning space of all the first positioning assemblies can be adjusted at the same time to adapt to the simultaneous positioning of the plurality of batteries, battery modules or battery packs formed by a plurality of battery cells, so that the positioning efficiency can be improved.

[0020] In some embodiments, the first positioning member and the second positioning member are arranged opposite to each other along a first direction, and all the first positioning assemblies are arranged spaced apart from each other along the first direction.

[0021] By arranging the direction of all the first positioning assemblies to be the same direction as the first positioning member and the second positioning member, the connection of the first positioning members of all the first positioning assemblies to each other can be simpler, and the linkage mode is also simpler.

[0022] In some embodiments, the second positioning member comprises two sub-positioning members arranged opposite to each other along a second direction, the first positioning member is located between the two sub-positioning members along the second direction, and the first positioning member and the two sub-positioning members together form the first positioning space.

[0023] The first direction intersects the second direction.

[0024] By arranging the two sub-positioning members opposite to each other along the second direction, and together with the first positioning member opposite to each other along the first direction to form the first positioning space, the battery, battery module or battery pack formed by a plurality of battery cells to be positioned can be simultaneously forced by the two sub-positioning members and the first positioning member, so that the stress is uniform, and the positioning reliability is improved.

[0025] In addition, since the first positioning member moves along the first direction, the two sub-positioning members do not interfere with the movement of the first positioning member in the first direction, and the connection interference between the first positioning members of all the first positioning assemblies is reduced.

[0026] In some embodiments, the battery tray further comprises a first adjusting mechanism mounted on the base, and the first adjusting mechanism is connected to at least one of the first positioning member and the second positioning member, so that at least one of the first positioning member and the second positioning member can move towards or away from the other.

[0027] The first adjusting mechanism is arranged to adjust the first positioning member and the second positioning member to move close to or away from each other, which can simplify the operation and make the position adjustment of the first positioning member and the second positioning member more flexible, so that the first positioning assembly and the second positioning assembly can be compatible with more sizes of batteries, battery modules or battery packs formed by a plurality of battery cells.

[0028] In some embodiments, when the first adjusting mechanism is connected with the first positioning member or the second positioning member, the first adjusting mechanism comprises a first adjusting screw, a first sliding block and a first connecting member, the first adjusting screw is arranged on the side of the base away from the first positioning assembly, the first sliding block is in transmission connection with the first adjusting screw, one end of the first connecting member is connected with the first sliding block, and the other end of the first connecting member is connected with the first positioning member or the second positioning member through the base.

[0029] The first adjusting screw is arranged on the side of the base away from the first positioning assembly, so that the first adjusting screw and the first positioning assembly are located on the two sides of the base respectively, thereby the first adjusting screw does not occupy the space on the side where the first positioning assembly is located, the influence on the first positioning assembly and the second positioning assembly is reduced, and the first connecting member connected with the first sliding block is connected with the first positioning member or the second positioning member, thereby improving the reliability of the position adjustment of the first positioning member or the second positioning member.

[0030] In some embodiments, along the thickness direction of the base, all the first positioning spaces are arranged closer to the base than the second positioning spaces, and all the first positioning spaces are in communication with the second positioning spaces.

[0031] In this way, the first positioning spaces and the second positioning spaces do not affect the exposure of the batteries, battery modules or battery packs positioned therein, and can better adapt to different processing procedures.

[0032] In some embodiments, the second positioning members of all the first positioning assemblies are fixed to the base, along the thickness direction of the base, the third positioning members and the fourth positioning members are arranged on the side of all the second positioning members away from the base, and the first positioning members of all the first positioning assemblies are arranged between the third positioning members and the fourth positioning members.

[0033] Since the second positioning members are fixed to the base, the third positioning members and the fourth positioning members are arranged on the side of all the second positioning members away from the base, which can reduce the influence of the second positioning members on the movement of the third positioning members and the fourth positioning members, and since the first positioning members are arranged between the third positioning members and the fourth positioning members, the positions of the first positioning members, the third positioning members and the fourth positioning members can be separated as much as possible, thereby reducing the movement interference between the first positioning members, the third positioning members and the fourth positioning members.

[0034] In some embodiments, the battery tray further comprises at least one second sliding rail, all the second sliding rails are arranged on the base, and at least one of the third positioning member and the fourth positioning member is slidably connected with the second sliding rail to move towards or away from the other along the second sliding rail.

[0035] The arrangement of the second sliding rail can make the movement of the third positioning member or the fourth positioning member more stable and improve the positioning reliability.

[0036] In some embodiments, the third positioning member and the fourth positioning member are oppositely arranged along a second direction, the second positioning assembly further comprises a fifth positioning member and a sixth positioning member, the fifth positioning member and the sixth positioning member are arranged outside all the first positioning assemblies and oppositely arranged along a first direction, and the first direction intersects with the second direction.

[0037] The third positioning member, the fourth positioning member, the fifth positioning member, and the sixth positioning member jointly form a second positioning space.

[0038] Since the third positioning member and the fourth positioning member are oppositely arranged along the second direction, and the first positioning member of the first positioning assembly is located between the fifth positioning member and the sixth positioning member and can move relative to the second positioning member, therefore, arranging the fifth positioning member and the sixth positioning member outside all the first positioning assemblies will not affect the movement of the first positioning member between the third positioning member and the fourth positioning member. In addition, by oppositely arranging the fifth positioning member and the sixth positioning member along the first direction, the positioning of the battery, the battery module, or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery monomers in the first direction can be realized, and the positioning reliability of the second positioning assembly is improved.

[0039] In some embodiments, the base is provided with a plurality of groups of adjusting portions at intervals along the first direction, and at least one of the fifth positioning member and the sixth positioning member can cooperate with any one of the groups of adjusting portions to adjust the distance between the fifth positioning member and the sixth positioning member.

[0040] In this way, the fifth positioning member can cooperate with any one of the groups of adjusting portions to realize the position adjustment in the first direction, and the sixth positioning member can also cooperate with any one of the groups of adjusting portions to realize the position adjustment in the first direction. This adjusting mode is simple, and since it is the structure of the base itself, no additional mechanism needs to be additionally arranged between the third positioning member and the fourth positioning member, thereby reducing the interference with the movement of the first positioning member.

[0041] In some embodiments, each group of adjusting portions comprises at least one adjusting hole, and at least one of the fifth positioning member and the sixth positioning member can cooperate with all the adjusting holes of any one of the groups of adjusting portions.

[0042] The cooperation of the adjusting hole with the fifth positioning member and the sixth positioning member is simple in mode, and the support surface of the base is still relatively flat, thereby reducing the interference with the arrangement or movement of other components.

[0043] In some embodiments, the third positioning member and the fourth positioning member each have a positioning support surface on the side facing away from the base along the thickness direction of the base, and the positioning support surface is used to support the to-be-positioned member.

[0044] On the one hand, by arranging the positioning support surface on the side facing away from the base, the to-be-positioned member, i.e., the battery, the battery module, or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery monomers, can be conveniently placed in the second positioning space. On the other hand, since the third positioning member and the fourth positioning member can move relative to each other to adapt to the size of the to-be-positioned member, i.e., the size of the battery, the battery module, or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery monomers, by arranging the positioning support surface of the third positioning member and the fourth positioning member to support the to-be-positioned member, the positioning support surface can also adapt to the size change of the to-be-positioned member, thereby improving the reliability of the support.

[0045] In some embodiments, the third positioning member and the fourth positioning member each further include a positioning protrusion protruding from the positioning support surface, and the positioning protrusion of the third positioning member and the fourth positioning member and the positioning support surface together form the second positioning space.

[0046] By arranging the positioning protrusion protruding from the positioning support surface, the structure of the third positioning member and the fourth positioning member can be simplified, and the positioning protrusion and the positioning support surface are closely related, thereby improving the reliability of the positioning.

[0047] In some embodiments, the battery tray includes a second adjusting mechanism, the second adjusting mechanism is mounted on the base, and the second adjusting mechanism is connected to at least one of the third positioning member and the fourth positioning member, so that the at least one of the third positioning member and the fourth positioning member can move closer to or farther away from the other.

[0048] By arranging the second adjusting mechanism to adjust the movement of the third positioning member and the fourth positioning member closer to or farther away from each other, the operation can be simplified, and the position adjustment of the third positioning member and the fourth positioning member is more flexible, so that the second positioning assembly can be compatible with the positioning of batteries, battery modules, or battery packs formed by a plurality of battery monomers of more size specifications.

[0049] In some embodiments, when the second adjusting mechanism is connected to the third positioning member and the fourth positioning member, the second adjusting mechanism includes a second adjusting screw, a second sliding block, and a third sliding block. The second adjusting screw is arranged on the base and includes a first threaded section and a second threaded section along the length direction of the second adjusting screw. The screw directions of the first threaded section and the second threaded section are opposite. The second sliding block is in transmission connection with the first threaded section, and the third sliding block is in transmission connection with the second threaded section. The second sliding block is connected to the third positioning member, and the third sliding block is connected to the fourth positioning member.

[0050] Thus, when the second adjusting screw is rotated, the second slide rail and the third slide rail can move towards or away from each other, thereby driving the third positioning member and the fourth positioning member to move towards or away from each other, because the second slide rail and the third slide rail are connected with the first threaded segment and the second threaded segment in opposite screw directions, respectively. The second adjusting mechanism is simple and compact in structure and stable in movement.

[0051] In some embodiments, the battery tray further comprises a transportation driving mechanism arranged on the base, and the transportation driving mechanism is capable of being connected with an external transportation matching mechanism in transmission, so as to transport the battery tray along a transportation path.

[0052] In some embodiments, the transportation driving mechanism comprises a driving member and a transmission gear, the driving member is fixed to the base, the driving member is connected with the transmission gear to drive the transmission gear to rotate, and the transmission gear is connected with the transportation matching mechanism in transmission.

[0053] In a second aspect, a battery processing device is provided, comprising the battery tray in any of the above embodiments.

[0069] New energy batteries are increasingly widely used in life and industry, for example, new energy vehicles equipped with batteries have been widely used, in addition, batteries are also increasingly used in energy storage fields and the like.

[0070] In the production and manufacturing process of the battery, it is usually necessary to clamp and fix the battery by the tray so as to convey the battery between various processes by the tray carrying the battery, so as to avoid the battery from overturning, falling, and the like during the conveying process. Moreover, the tray can not only be applied in the production and manufacturing process of the battery, but also can be applied on the automatic rework line of the battery, for example, when the B piece of the battery module needs to be disassembled, the battery module needs to be carried by the tray and transported to the laser cleaning machine for disassembling the B piece.

[0071] However, there are various types of batteries with different size specifications, so that the tray needs to be compatible with batteries of multiple size specifications, and the tray not only needs to carry the battery, but also needs to carry the battery module. The tray in the related art can only be compatible with batteries of multiple different size specifications, and cannot realize the compatible support of the battery module, resulting in small compatibility and affecting the processing efficiency of battery manufacturing, rework, and the like.

[0072] To alleviate the problem that the compatibility of the tray to the battery is small in the related art, affecting the battery processing efficiency, an embodiment of the present application designs a battery tray, which comprises a base, at least one first positioning assembly and a second positioning assembly. The at least one first positioning assembly is arranged on the base, each first positioning assembly is used to form a first positioning space, and the second positioning assembly is arranged on the base and is used to form a second positioning space. Wherein, in the thickness direction of the base, all the first positioning spaces are located on one side of the second positioning space, and at least one first positioning space is in communication with the second positioning space.

[0073] In this way, the first positioning space of the battery tray can be compatible with at least one size of battery or battery module, and the second positioning space of the battery tray can be compatible with at least another size of battery or battery module, thereby improving the compatibility of the battery tray. Moreover, since all the first positioning spaces are located on one side of the second positioning space, the two positioning spaces do not affect each other in position while being more compact, thereby reducing the overall size of the battery tray. In addition, in the thickness direction of the base, the battery or battery module is usually exposed to the battery tray to make the direction of the battery processing equipment for processing, and by arranging at least one first positioning space in communication with the second positioning space, the processing of the battery or battery module will not be affected.

[0074] The battery tray of the present application is applied to a battery processing equipment to alleviate the problem that the compatibility of the battery is small, affecting the battery processing efficiency.

[0075] The battery processing equipment disclosed in the embodiments of the present application can be but is not limited to a battery manufacturing equipment, and can also be a battery rework equipment, for example, in a laser cleaning machine in the battery rework equipment.

[0076] FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of one state of a battery tray according to one or more embodiments; and FIG. 2 is a structural schematic diagram of another state of the battery tray shown in FIG. 1. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a battery tray 100, which comprises a base 10, at least one first positioning assembly 20 and a second positioning assembly 30. The at least one first positioning assembly 20 is arranged on the base 10, each first positioning assembly 20 is used to form a first positioning space 21. The second positioning assembly 30 is arranged on the base 10 and is used to form a second positioning space 31. Wherein, in the thickness direction of the base 10, all the first positioning spaces 21 are located on one side of the second positioning space 31, and at least one first positioning space 21 is in communication with the second positioning space 31.

[0077] The base 10 is used to provide a fixed base for the first positioning assembly 20 and the second positioning assembly 30, and is used as a seat structure of the main support base of the battery 200, the battery module 300 or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery monomers. The base 10 can be a block structure, a plate structure, a rack structure, etc., and the specific shape can be designed and made according to the needs of use.

[0078] The first positioning assembly 20 and the second positioning assembly 30 are both assemblies for positioning the battery 200, the battery module 300 or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery monomers, so that the battery 200, the battery module 300 or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery monomers has a determined position on the battery tray 100. Among them, the first positioning space 21 formed by the first positioning assembly 20 can accommodate at least part of the battery 200, the battery module 300 or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery monomers, so that the battery 200, the battery module 300 or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery monomers is positioned. The second positioning space 31 formed by the second positioning assembly 30 can also accommodate at least part of the battery 200, the battery module 300 or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery monomers, so that the battery 200, the battery module 300 or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery monomers is positioned. Specifically, the first positioning assembly 20 is used to position the battery module 300, and the second positioning assembly 30 is used to position the battery 200.

[0079] It should be pointed out that the battery tray 100 in the embodiment of the application, when applied to the battery processing equipment, can only position the battery 200, the battery module 300 or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery monomers in the first positioning space 21, and process the battery 200, the battery module 300 or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery monomers in the first positioning space 21. It can also only position the battery 200, the battery module 300 or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery monomers in the second positioning space 31, and process the battery 200, the battery module 300 or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery monomers in the second positioning space 31. In addition, one of the battery 200, the battery module 300 or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery monomers can be positioned in the first positioning space 21, and the other battery 200, the battery module 300 or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery monomers can be positioned in the second positioning space 31, so as to process the two batteries 200, the battery modules 300 or the battery packs formed by a plurality of battery monomers at the same time or in sequence.

[0080] The first positioning assembly 20 and the second positioning assembly 30 can be both arranged on the base 10, or one of them is arranged on the base 10 and the other is arranged at least partially on one of them, so that the other is indirectly arranged on the base 10.

[0081] The thickness direction of the base 10 refers to the direction perpendicular to the support surface 11 of the base 10, which is a specific surface for arranging the first positioning assembly 20 and the second positioning assembly 30. Specifically, the direction perpendicular to the support surface 11 of the base 10 is the Z direction shown in FIG. 1.

[0082] In the thickness direction of the base 10, all the first positioning spaces 21 can be arranged closer to the base 10 than the second positioning spaces 31, or all the first positioning spaces 21 can be arranged farther from the base 10 than the second positioning spaces 31.

[0083] In this way, the first positioning spaces 21 of the battery tray 100 can be compatible with at least one size of battery 200, battery module 300, or battery pack formed by a plurality of battery cells, and the second positioning spaces 31 of the battery tray 100 can be compatible with at least another size of battery 200, battery module 300, or battery pack formed by a plurality of battery cells, thereby improving the compatibility of the battery tray 100; and since all the first positioning spaces 21 are located on one side of the second positioning spaces 31, the two positioning spaces do not interfere with each other in position, and can also be more compact, thereby reducing the overall size of the battery tray 100; in addition, in the thickness direction of the base 10, the direction in which the battery 200, battery module 300, or battery pack formed by a plurality of battery cells is usually exposed to the battery processing equipment for processing, and the arrangement of at least one first positioning space 21 in communication with the second positioning space 31 will not affect the processing of the battery 200, battery module 300, or battery pack formed by a plurality of battery cells.

[0084] Referring back to FIG. 2, according to some embodiments of the present application, each first positioning assembly 20 includes at least a first positioning member 22 and a second positioning member 23 arranged oppositely, and a first positioning space 21 is formed between the first positioning member 22 and the second positioning member 23, and at least one of the first positioning member 22 and the second positioning member 23 can move closer to or farther from the other.

[0085] The first positioning member 22 and the second positioning member 23 can be arranged oppositely in parallel to the width or length direction of the base 10, specifically, the first positioning member 22 and the second positioning member 23 are arranged oppositely along the X direction or the Y direction as shown in FIG. 1. In the embodiments of the present application, the first positioning member 22 and the second positioning member 23 are arranged oppositely along the X direction as shown in FIG. 1.

[0086] When at least one of the first positioning member 22 and the second positioning member 23 is capable of approaching or moving away from the other, the size of the first positioning space 21, specifically the size of the X direction in the embodiments of the present application, can be changed to adapt to the size of the battery 200, the battery module 300 or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery cells.

[0087] In some embodiments, one of the first positioning member 22 and the second positioning member 23 is capable of approaching or moving away from the other. In other embodiments, the first positioning member 22 and the second positioning member 23 can simultaneously approach or move away from each other.

[0088] By setting at least one of the first positioning member 22 and the second positioning member 23 to be capable of approaching or moving away from the other, the size of the first positioning space 21 can be changed, so that the first positioning assembly 20 can be compatible with the positioning of batteries 200, battery modules 300 or battery packs formed by a plurality of battery cells of various size specifications, further improving the compatibility of the battery tray 100.

[0089] In the embodiments of the present application, the second positioning member 23 is fixed to the base 10, and the first positioning member 22 approaches or moves away from the second positioning member 23. The second positioning member 23 can have a positioning reference surface, which faces the first positioning member 22.

[0090] According to some embodiments of the present application, the second positioning assembly 30 at least includes oppositely arranged third and fourth positioning members 32 and 33, and the third and fourth positioning members 32 and 33 form a second positioning space 31 therebetween, and at least one of the third and fourth positioning members 32 and 33 is capable of approaching or moving away from the other.

[0091] The third and fourth positioning members 32 and 33 can be oppositely arranged parallel to the width or length direction of the base 10, specifically, the third and fourth positioning members 32 and 33 are oppositely arranged along the X direction or the Y direction as shown in FIG. 1. In the embodiments of the present application, the third and fourth positioning members 32 and 33 are oppositely arranged along the Y direction as shown in FIG. 1.

[0092] When at least one of the third and fourth positioning members 32 and 33 is capable of approaching or moving away from the other, the size of the second positioning space 31, specifically the size of the Y direction in the embodiments of the present application, can be changed to adapt to the size of the battery 200, the battery module 300 or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery cells.

[0093] Specifically, one of the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33 is capable of moving towards or away from the other. In other embodiments, the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33 can simultaneously move towards or away from each other.

[0094] By setting at least one of the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33 to be capable of moving towards or away from the other, the size of the second positioning space 31 can be changed, so that the second positioning assembly 30 can be compatible with the positioning of batteries 200, battery modules 300 or battery packs formed by a plurality of battery cells of various size specifications, further improving the compatibility of the battery tray 100.

[0095] According to some embodiments of the present application, each first positioning assembly 20 includes at least a first positioning member 22 and a second positioning member 23 arranged oppositely, a first positioning space 21 is formed between the first positioning member 22 and the second positioning member 23, at least one of the first positioning member 22 and the second positioning member 23 is capable of moving towards or away from the other, and the second positioning assembly 30 includes at least a third positioning member 32 and a fourth positioning member 33 arranged oppositely, a second positioning space 31 is formed between the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33, at least one of the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33 is capable of moving towards or away from the other.

[0096] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first positioning member 22 and the second positioning member 23 can clamp the to-be-positioned member located in the first positioning space 21.

[0097] The to-be-positioned member referred to herein can be a battery 200, a battery module 300 or a battery pack formed by a plurality of battery cells. The first positioning member 22 and the second positioning member 23 can clamp the to-be-positioned member means that the clamping force of the to-be-positioned member can be provided so that the to-be-positioned member is positioned in the first positioning space 21.

[0098] By setting the first positioning member 22 and the second positioning member 23 to clamp the to-be-positioned member, the positioning of the to-be-positioned member can be more stable. In addition, since it is clamped and positioned, positioning in other directions can be omitted, thus simplifying the structure of the first positioning assembly 20.

[0099] According to some embodiments of the present application, when the first positioning assembly 20 includes a plurality of first positioning assemblies 20, the first positioning members 22 of all the first positioning assemblies 20 are capable of moving towards or away from the corresponding second positioning members 23, and the first positioning members 22 of all the first positioning assemblies 20 are connected to each other.

[0100] By connecting the first positioning members 22 of all the first positioning assemblies 20 to each other, the first positioning members 22 of all the first positioning assemblies 20 can be linked to the second positioning members 23 of all the first positioning assemblies 20, and thus the sizes of the first positioning spaces 21 of all the first positioning assemblies 20 can be adjusted simultaneously to adapt to the simultaneous positioning of the plurality of batteries 200, the battery module 300, or the battery pack formed by the plurality of battery cells, thereby improving the positioning efficiency.

[0101] Of course, in other embodiments, the first positioning members 22 of each first positioning assembly 20 can be independent of each other without being connected to each other, so that the size of the first positioning space 21 of each first positioning assembly 20 can be adjusted independently.

[0102] According to some embodiments of the present application, the first positioning member 22 and the second positioning member 23 are oppositely arranged along the first direction, and all the first positioning assemblies 20 are spaced apart from each other along the first direction.

[0103] The first direction referred to in the embodiments of the present application can be the X direction shown in FIG. 1.

[0104] By arranging all the first positioning assemblies 20 in the same direction as the first positioning member 22 and the second positioning member 23, the connection of the first positioning members 22 of all the first positioning assemblies 20 to each other can be simpler, and the linkage mode can also be simpler.

[0105] Of course, in other embodiments, all the first positioning assemblies 20 can also be arranged in a ring shape or other manner.

[0106] Further, the first positioning members 22 can be connected by a connecting member, for example, when the first positioning assemblies 20 are spaced apart along the first direction X as shown in FIG. 1, the connecting member can be a connecting strip to connect the first positioning members 22.

[0107] In order to improve the movement stability of the first positioning members 22, in the embodiments of the present application, the battery tray 100 further comprises a first sliding rail 40, which is arranged on the base 10, and the first sliding rail 40 can be slidably connected with the first positioning member 22 to enable the first positioning member 22 to move along the first sliding rail 40 to approach or move away from the second positioning member 23.

[0108] Specifically, the first sliding rail 40 extends along the first direction X. More specifically, the first sliding rail 40 can comprise a plurality of first sliding rails 40, which are spaced apart from each other along the first direction X, and each first sliding rail 40 is slidably connected with a corresponding first positioning member 22.

[0109] In addition, since the first sliding rails 40 and the connecting members connecting the first positioning members 22 are arranged on the base 10, the surface of the base 10 is uneven. In order to improve the positioning stability of the first positioning assembly 20 on the to-be-positioned member, some elevating blocks 50 can be arranged on the base 10 to elevate the to-be-positioned member, so that the to-be-positioned member can be away from the first sliding rails 40 and the connecting members and other components that hinder the stable placement of the to-be-positioned member. The first positioning assembly 20 can at least partially protrude from the elevating blocks 50 in a direction away from the base 10 along the thickness direction of the base 10, so as to position the to-be-positioned member.

[0110] According to some embodiments of the present application, the second positioning member 23 includes two sub-positioning members 231 arranged oppositely along the second direction Y, and the first positioning member 22 is located between the two sub-positioning members 231 along the second direction Y and forms the first positioning space 21 together with the two sub-positioning members 231, wherein the first direction X intersects the second direction Y.

[0111] By arranging the two sub-positioning members 231 oppositely along the second direction Y to form the first positioning space 21 together with the first positioning member 22 oppositely along the first direction X, the positioned battery 200, battery module 300 or battery pack formed by a plurality of battery monomers can be simultaneously forced by the two sub-positioning members 231 and the first positioning member 22, so that the force is uniform and the positioning reliability is improved.

[0112] In addition, since the first positioning member 22 moves along the first direction X, the two sub-positioning members 231 do not interfere with the movement of the first positioning member 22 along the first direction X, and the connection between the first positioning members 22 of the entire first positioning assembly 20 is not interfered.

[0113] In combination with FIG. 3, according to some embodiments of the present application, the battery tray 100 further includes a first adjusting mechanism 60 mounted on the base 10, and the first adjusting mechanism 60 is connected with the first positioning member 22 to make the first positioning member 22 move close to or away from the second positioning member 23.

[0114] The first adjusting mechanism 60 refers to a mechanism for adjusting the position of the first positioning member 22, specifically a mechanism for adjusting the position of the first positioning member 22 relative to the second positioning member 23.

[0115] The first adjusting mechanism 60 can include some transmission components connected with the first positioning member 22, and can also include some driving members or manual operating members, etc.

[0116] The first adjusting mechanism 60 is used to adjust the position of the first positioning member 22, and the first adjusting mechanism 60 is connected with the first positioning member 22, so that the first positioning member 22 is moved close to or away from the second positioning member 23. In this way, the first adjusting mechanism 60 is a mechanism for adjusting the position of the first positioning member 22, and the first adjusting mechanism 60 is used to adjust the position of the first positioning member 22 relative to the second positioning member 23, which can simplify the operation and make the position adjustment of the first positioning member 22 more flexible, so that the first positioning assembly 20 is compatible with more size specifications of the battery 200, the battery module 300 or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery monomers.

[0117] In some embodiments, when the first positioning assembly 20 includes a plurality of first positioning assemblies 20, the first positioning member 22 of each first positioning assembly 20 is capable of moving close to or away from the corresponding second positioning member 23, and the first positioning member 22 of each first positioning assembly 20 is connected with each other, and the first adjusting mechanism 60 is connected with one of the first positioning members 22, thereby achieving the position adjustment of the first positioning member 22 of each first positioning assembly 20.

[0118] In other embodiments, the battery tray 100 further comprises a first adjusting mechanism 60, and the first adjusting mechanism 60 is installed on the base 10. The first adjusting mechanism 60 is connected with the second positioning member 23, so that the second positioning member 23 is moved close to or away from the first positioning member 22.

[0119] In this way, the first adjusting mechanism 60 is used to adjust the position of the second positioning member 23, and the first adjusting mechanism 60 is connected with the second positioning member 23, so that the second positioning member 23 is moved close to or away from the first positioning member 22. In this way, the first adjusting mechanism 60 is a mechanism for adjusting the position of the second positioning member 23, and the first adjusting mechanism 60 is used to adjust the position of the second positioning member 23 relative to the first positioning member 22, which can simplify the operation and make the position adjustment of the second positioning member 23 more flexible, so that the first positioning assembly 20 is compatible with more size specifications of the battery 200, the battery module 300 or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery monomers.

[0120] In other embodiments, the battery tray 100 further comprises a first adjusting mechanism 60, and the first adjusting mechanism 60 is installed on the base 10. The first adjusting mechanism 60 is connected with the first positioning member 22 and the second positioning member 23, so that the first positioning member 22 and the second positioning member 23 are moved close to or away from each other.

[0121] In this way, the first adjusting mechanism 60 can simultaneously adjust the first positioning member 22 and the second positioning member 23, so that the first positioning member 22 and the second positioning member 23 are moved close to or away from each other. In this way, the first adjusting mechanism 60 can simplify the operation and make the position adjustment of the first positioning member 22 and the second positioning member 23 more flexible, so that the first positioning assembly 20 is compatible with more size specifications of the battery 200, the battery module 300 or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery monomers.

[0122] According to some embodiments of the present application, when the first adjusting mechanism 60 is connected with the first positioning member 22 or the second positioning member 23, the first adjusting mechanism 60 comprises a first adjusting screw rod 61, a first sliding block 62 and a first connecting member 63. The first adjusting screw rod 61 is arranged on the side of the base 10 away from the first positioning assembly 20. The first sliding block 62 is in transmission connection with the first adjusting screw rod 61. One end of the first connecting member 63 is connected with the first sliding block 62. The other end of the first connecting member 63 penetrates through the base 10 and is connected with the first positioning member 22 or the second positioning member 23.

[0123] The first adjusting screw rod 61 is arranged on the side of the base 10 away from the first positioning assembly 20, that is, the first adjusting screw rod 61 is arranged on the side of the base 10 away from the supporting surface 11. The other end of the first connecting member 63 penetrates through the base 10 and is connected with the first positioning member 22 or the second positioning member 23. Specifically, a through hole can be formed on the base 10 for the first connecting member 63 to penetrate through.

[0124] By arranging the first adjusting screw rod 61 on the side of the base 10 away from the first positioning assembly 20, the first adjusting screw rod 61 and the first positioning assembly 20 are arranged on the two sides of the base 10 respectively, so that the first adjusting screw rod 61 does not occupy the space on the side where the first positioning assembly 20 is arranged, thereby reducing the influence on the first positioning assembly 20 and the second positioning assembly 30. The first connecting member 63 connected with the first sliding block 62 is connected with the first positioning member 22 or the second positioning member 23, thereby improving the reliability of the position adjustment of the first positioning member 22 or the second positioning member 23.

[0125] Specifically, in the embodiments of the present application, the other end of the first connecting member 63 of the first adjusting mechanism 60 penetrates through the base 10 and is connected with the first positioning member 22. More specifically, the first connecting member 63 of the first adjusting mechanism 60 can be connected with the first positioning member 22 of the first positioning assembly 20 located at one end along the first direction X. In this way, the overall length of the first adjusting screw rod 61 can be shortened, the occupied space can be reduced, and the movement stability of the first sliding block 62 can be improved.

[0126] Please continue to refer to FIG. 1. According to some embodiments of the present application, along the thickness direction of the base 10, all the first positioning spaces 21 are arranged closer to the base 10 than the second positioning spaces 31, and all the first positioning spaces 21 are in communication with the second positioning spaces 31.

[0127] In this way, the first positioning spaces 21 and the second positioning spaces 31 do not affect the exposure of the batteries 200, the battery modules 300 or the battery packs formed by a plurality of battery monomers positioned thereon, and can better adapt to different processing procedures.

[0128] It is to be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the first positioning spaces 21 position the battery modules 300, and the second positioning spaces 31 position the batteries 200, and the size of the batteries 200 is generally larger than that of the battery modules 300, therefore, all the first positioning spaces 21 are arranged closer to the base 10 than the second positioning spaces 31, so that the exposure of the second positioning spaces 31 to the batteries 200 will not be affected by the smaller first positioning spaces 21 below, and the larger second positioning spaces 31 above will also not affect the exposure of the smaller first positioning spaces 21 below to the battery modules 300.

[0129] According to some embodiments of the present application, the second positioning members 23 of all the first positioning assemblies 20 are fixed to the base 10, and along the thickness direction of the base 10, the third positioning members 32 and the fourth positioning members 33 are arranged on the side of all the second positioning members 23 away from the base 10, and the first positioning members 22 of all the first positioning assemblies 20 are arranged between the third positioning members 32 and the fourth positioning members 33.

[0130] It is to be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, since the second positioning members 23 of all the first positioning assemblies 20 are fixed to the base 10, the size of the first positioning spaces 21 can only be adjusted by the movement of the first positioning members 22 towards or away from the second positioning members 22.

[0131] Since the second positioning members 23 are fixed to the base 10, arranging the third positioning members 32 and the fourth positioning members 33 on the side of all the second positioning members 23 away from the base 10 can reduce the influence of the second positioning members 23 on the movement of the third positioning members 32 and the fourth positioning members 33, and since the first positioning members 22 are arranged between the third positioning members 32 and the fourth positioning members 33, the positions between the first positioning members 22, the third positioning members 32 and the fourth positioning members 33 can be separated as much as possible, and the movement interference between the first positioning members 22, the third positioning members 32 and the fourth positioning members 33 can be reduced.

[0132] According to some embodiments of the present application, along the thickness direction of the base 10, the side of the third positioning members 32 and the fourth positioning members 33 away from the base 10 is provided with a positioning support surface 34, and the positioning support surface 34 is used to support the to-be-positioned member.

[0133] On one hand, by arranging the positioning support surface 34 on the side facing away from the base 10, the to-be-positioned member, i.e., the battery 200, the battery module 300, or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery cells, can be conveniently placed in the second positioning space 31. On the other hand, since the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33 can move relative to each other to adapt to the size of the to-be-positioned member, i.e., the size of the battery 200, the battery module 300, or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery cells, when the to-be-positioned member is supported by the positioning support surface 34 of the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33, the positioning support surface 34 can also adapt to the size change of the to-be-positioned member, thereby improving the reliability of the support.

[0134] Further, along the thickness direction of the base 10, the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33 each further include a positioning protrusion 35 protruding from the positioning support surface 34, and the positioning protrusion 35 and the positioning support surface 34 of the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33 together form the second positioning space 31.

[0135] The positioning protrusion 35 can be a bump, a ridge, or the like formed on the positioning support surface 34. The positioning protrusion 35 can be integrally formed with the rest of the third positioning member 32 or the fourth positioning member 33, or can be independent of the rest and connected to the rest by welding, screwing, or the like.

[0136] By arranging the positioning protrusion 35 protruding from the positioning support surface 34, the structure of the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33 can be simplified, and the positioning protrusion 35 and the positioning support surface 34 are closely related, thereby improving the reliability of the positioning.

[0137] In some embodiments, the positioning protrusion 35 is a bump formed on the positioning support surface 34, and the bump can be in a strip shape. In the embodiments of the present application, the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33 are arranged opposite to each other along the second direction Y, and the positioning protrusion 35 can extend along the first direction X perpendicular to the second direction Y to be in a strip shape. The positioning protrusion 35 of the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33 can include a plurality of positioning protrusions 35 arranged at intervals along the first direction X.

[0138] According to some embodiments of the present application, the battery tray 100 further includes at least one second sliding rail 70, and all the second sliding rails 70 are arranged on the base 10. At least one of the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33 can be slidingly connected with the second sliding rail 70 to move closer to or farther away from the other along the second sliding rail 70.

[0139] The arrangement of the second sliding rail 70 can make the movement of the third positioning member 32 or the fourth positioning member 33 more stable, thereby improving the reliability of the positioning.

[0140] In some embodiments, the second slide rails 70 include a plurality of, and the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33 are respectively in sliding connection with corresponding at least one second slide rail 70.

[0141] Specifically, the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33 are oppositely arranged along the second direction Y, and the second slide rails 70 extend along the second direction Y. All the second slide rails 70 can be divided into two groups, one group of the second slide rails 70 being in sliding connection with the third positioning member 32, and the other group of the second slide rails 70 being in sliding connection with the fourth positioning member 33. The two groups of the second slide rails 70 are spaced apart from each other along the second direction Y. Each group of the second slide rails 70 includes a plurality of the second slide rails 70, and each of the second slide rails 70 is spaced apart from each other along the first direction X. In this way, the plurality of positions of the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33 can be connected with the second slide rails 70, thereby improving the stability of sliding. In addition, since the two groups of the second slide rails 70 are spaced apart from each other along the second direction Y, the movement of the first positioning member 22 along the first direction X between the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33 will not be affected.

[0142] According to some embodiments of the present application, the battery tray 100 further includes a second adjusting mechanism 80 mounted on the base 10, and the second adjusting mechanism 80 is connected with the third positioning member 32 to enable the third positioning member 32 to move close to or away from the fourth positioning member 33.

[0143] The second adjusting mechanism 80 refers to a mechanism for adjusting the position of the third positioning member 32, specifically a mechanism for adjusting the position of the third positioning member 32 relative to the fourth positioning member 33.

[0144] The second adjusting mechanism 80 can include some transmission components connected with the third positioning member 32, and can also include some driving members or manual operating members, etc.

[0145] By setting the second adjusting mechanism 80 to adjust the movement of the third positioning member 32 close to or away from the fourth positioning member 33, the operation can be simplified, and the position adjustment of the third positioning member 32 is more flexible, so that the second positioning assembly 30 is compatible with more size specifications of the battery 200, the battery module 300 or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery monomers.

[0146] In other embodiments, the battery tray 100 further includes a second adjusting mechanism 80 mounted on the base 10, and the second adjusting mechanism 80 is connected with the fourth positioning member 33 to enable the fourth positioning member 33 to move close to or away from the third positioning member 32.

[0147] Thus, the second adjusting mechanism 80 is a mechanism for adjusting the position of the fourth positioning member 33. By setting the second adjusting mechanism 80 to adjust the approaching or moving away of the fourth positioning member 33 relative to the third positioning member 32, the operation can be simplified, and the position adjustment of the fourth positioning member 33 is more flexible, so that the second positioning assembly 30 is compatible with more size specifications of the battery 200, the battery module 300 or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery cells.

[0148] In other embodiments, the battery tray 100 further comprises a second adjusting mechanism 80 mounted on the base 10, and the second adjusting mechanism 80 is connected with the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33 to make the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33 move towards or away from each other.

[0149] Thus, the second adjusting mechanism 80 can simultaneously adjust the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33 to move towards or away from each other, which can simplify the operation and make the position adjustment of the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33 more flexible, so that the second positioning assembly 30 is compatible with more size specifications of the battery 200, the battery module 300 or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery cells.

[0150] According to some embodiments of the present application, when the second adjusting mechanism 80 is connected with the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33, the second adjusting mechanism 80 comprises a second adjusting screw, a second sliding rail and a third sliding rail. The second adjusting screw is arranged on the base 10, and comprises a first threaded section and a second threaded section along the length direction of the second adjusting screw. The screw directions of the first threaded section and the second threaded section are opposite. The second sliding block is in transmission connection with the first threaded section, and the third sliding rail is in transmission connection with the second threaded section. The second sliding block is connected with the third positioning member 32, and the third sliding block is connected with the fourth positioning member 33.

[0151] Thus, when the second adjusting screw is rotated, the second sliding rail and the third sliding rail are in transmission connection with the first threaded section and the second threaded section respectively, and the screw directions of the first threaded section and the second threaded section are opposite. Therefore, the second sliding rail and the third sliding rail can move towards or away from each other, thereby driving the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33 to move towards or away from each other. The second adjusting mechanism 80 has a simple and compact structure, and the movement is stable.

[0152] Further, the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33 are symmetrically arranged relative to the center line of the base 10. Thus, when the positions of the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33 are adjusted by the second adjusting mechanism 80, the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33 can be always symmetrically arranged relative to the center line of the base 10, so that the positioned battery 200, the battery module 300 or the battery pack formed by a plurality of battery cells is located in the middle of the base 10, thereby improving the carrying stability of the battery tray 100.

[0153] According to some embodiments of the present application, the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33 are oppositely arranged along the second direction Y, and the second positioning assembly 30 further comprises a fifth positioning member 36 and a sixth positioning member 37, the fifth positioning member 36 and the sixth positioning member 37 are arranged outside all the first positioning assemblies 20 and oppositely arranged along the first direction X, the first direction X intersects the second direction Y. The third positioning member 32, the fourth positioning member 33, the fifth positioning member 36 and the sixth positioning member 37 jointly form the second positioning space 31.

[0154] The fifth positioning member 36 and the sixth positioning member 37 arranged outside all the first positioning assemblies 20 means that when the first positioning assembly 20 comprises multiple first positioning assemblies 20, all the first positioning assemblies 20 can form an integral whole, the inside of all the first positioning assemblies 20 is the inside, and the outside of all the first positioning assemblies 20 is the outside.

[0155] Since the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33 are oppositely arranged along the second direction Y, and the first positioning member 22 of the first positioning assembly 20 is located between the fifth positioning member 36 and the sixth positioning member 37 and can move relative to the second positioning member 23, therefore, arranging the fifth positioning member 36 and the sixth positioning member 37 outside all the first positioning assemblies 20 will not affect the movement of the first positioning member 22 between the third positioning member 32 and the fourth positioning member 33. Secondly, by oppositely arranging the fifth positioning member 36 and the sixth positioning member 37 along the first direction X, the battery 200, the battery module 300 or the battery pack formed by multiple battery monomers can be positioned in the first direction X, thereby improving the positioning reliability of the second positioning assembly 30.

[0156] It should be further pointed out that in the embodiment of the present application, since the size of the to-be-positioned member positioned by the second positioning assembly 30 is larger than the size of the to-be-positioned member positioned by the first positioning assembly 20, arranging the fifth positioning member 36 and the sixth positioning member 37 can increase the positioning reliability.

[0157] According to some embodiments of the present application, the position of at least one of the fifth positioning member 36 and the sixth positioning member 37 along the first direction X relative to the base can be adjusted. In this way, the compatibility of the battery tray 100 can be further improved.

[0158] Further, the base 10 is spaced apart along the first direction and provided with multiple groups of adjusting portions 12, and at least one of the fifth positioning member 36 and the sixth positioning member 37 can cooperate with any one of the groups of adjusting portions 12 to adjust the distance between the fifth positioning member 36 and the sixth positioning member 37.
