For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0062] The tray 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application is described below in combination with FIG. 1 to FIG. 14.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, the tray 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application includes a tray plate 1, a pressing plate assembly 2 and a magnetic attraction assembly, the tray plate 1 is used to carry the battery cell 200; the pressing plate assembly 2 includes a connecting seat 21 and a pressing plate 22, the connecting seat 21 is connected to the tray plate 1, the pressing plate 22 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 21, and the pressing plate 22 is operable to switch between a first position state and a second position state; the magnetic attraction assembly is arranged on the connecting seat 21 and is used to keep the pressing plate 22 in the first position state or the second position state. For example, the pressing plate 22 includes a first contact part 221 and a second contact part 222, the pressing plate 22 is in the first position state, the first contact part 221 abuts against the battery cell 200 to press the battery cell 200 tightly on the tray plate 1; the pressing plate 22 is in the second position state, and the second contact part 222 abuts against the connecting seat 21 to release the battery cell 200.

[0064] Specifically, the tray plate 1 is a plate-shaped body, the tray plate 1 is used to carry the battery cell 200, and the length and width dimensions of the tray plate 1 are adapted to the dimensions of the carried battery cell 200. The tray plate 1 has a length direction and a width direction, along the width direction of the tray plate 1, the tray plate 1 has two component parts symmetrically distributed about a vertical plane perpendicular to the tray plate 1, the vertical plane is defined as the central plane of the tray plate 1, and the direction in which the central plane of the tray plate 1 is located is consistent with the length direction.

[0065] The tray plate 1 is a non-metal part, and the tray plate 1 is made of plastic, rubber, carbon fiber or other materials. For example, the tray plate 1 can be made of polyoxymethylene material, which has high strength, hardness and wear resistance. During the movement of the tray 100 along the conveying line body, the tray plate 1 is relatively rubbed with the conveying line body, and the polyoxymethylene material has excellent wear resistance, so that the tray plate 1 has good wear resistance, which is beneficial to improve the service life of the tray 100.

[0066] The tray plate 1 is a non-metal part, and the absorption ability of the non-metal material to the rays is weak during the detection of the battery cell 200 on the tray plate 1, which maximally reduces the influence of the tray plate 1 on the detection and ensures the accuracy of the detection. In addition, the tray plate 1 is a non-metal part, which is beneficial to the lightweight of the tray plate 1.

[0067] Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the recess 11 is formed on the pallet 1 by recessing the end face of the pallet 1 towards the center face of the pallet 1, and the groove width and groove depth of the recess 11 are not specifically limited. The battery cell 200 is placed on the pallet 1, and the partial area of the battery cell 200 corresponding to the recess 11 is located outside the pallet 1. When the battery cell 200 needs to be taken off the pallet 1, the battery cell 200 can be taken by the working tool at the recess 11, which facilitates the separation of the battery cell 200 from the pallet 1. The recess 11 provides a suitable operation space for placing or taking the battery cell 200, which is beneficial to the convenience of operation.

[0068] The pressing plate assembly 2 is arranged on the pallet 1, and the number of the pressing plate assembly 2 is one, two, four or more, for example, the number of the pressing plate assembly 2 is an even number. Along the width direction of the pallet 1, the pallet 1 has opposite first and second sides, and the position of the pressing plate assembly 2 on the pallet 1 is arranged according to the number of the pressing plate assembly 2.

[0069] When the number of the pressing plate assembly 2 is one, the pressing plate assembly 2 is located in the middle of the pallet 1. When the number of the pressing plate assembly 2 is two, the two pressing plate assemblies 2 are located in the middle of the pallet 1 and are symmetrically arranged about the center face, or the two pressing plate assemblies 2 are staggered and arranged on the first and second sides of the pallet 1. When the number of the pressing plate assembly 2 is four, two pressing plate assemblies 2 are arranged on the first side of the pallet 1 at intervals, two pressing plate assemblies 2 are arranged on the second side of the pallet 1 at intervals, and the two pressing plate assemblies 2 on the first side and the two pressing plate assemblies 2 on the second side are symmetrically arranged about the center face.

[0070] The pressing plate assembly 2 includes a connecting seat 21 and a pressing plate 22, the connecting seat 21 can be connected with the pallet 1 by screwing, and the pressing plate 22 is rotationally connected with the connecting seat 21. For example, the two side faces of the pressing plate 22 are each provided with a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is rotationally connected with the connecting seat 21, and the rotating shaft rotates to realize the rotation of the pressing plate 22.

[0071] The pressing plate 22 can be switched between a first position state and a second position state. When the pressing plate 22 is in the first position, the pressing plate 22 is parallel to the pallet 1, the battery cell 200 is placed on the pallet 1, and the battery cell 200 is located between the pallet 1 and the pressing plate 22. When the pressing plate 22 is in the second position, the pressing plate 22 is perpendicular to the pallet 1, the battery cell 200 can be taken off the pallet 1, or the battery cell 200 to be detected can be placed on the pallet 1.

[0072] As shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the pressing plate 22 is generally cuboid, along the length direction of the pressing plate 22, the pressing plate 22 comprises a first contact part 221 and a second contact part 222, the length of the first contact part 221 is greater than the length of the second contact part 222. When the pressing plate 22 is in the first position, the first contact part 221 is in contact with the battery cell 200, and the battery cell 200 can be pressed tightly on the tray 1, so as to avoid the battery cell 200 from shaking during the movement of the tray 100. When the pressing plate 22 is in the second position, the second contact part 222 is in contact with the connecting seat 21, and the first contact part 221 is away from the tray 1, so as to facilitate the taking and placing of the battery cell 200 from the tray 1.

[0073] The magnetic attraction assembly is arranged on the connecting seat 21, and can be a magnet, an electromagnet, a magnetic fluid or the like. When the pressing plate 22 is flipped down to the first position, the magnetic attraction assembly and the first contact part 221 generate a magnetic attraction force, so that the pressing plate 22 is stably kept in the first position, and the battery cell 200 can be pressed tightly by the pressing plate 22. When the pressing plate 22 is flipped up to the second position, the magnetic attraction assembly and the second contact part 222 generate a magnetic attraction force, so that the pressing plate 22 is stably kept in the second position, so as to facilitate the taking of the battery cell 200 after detection or the placing of the battery cell 200 to be detected.

[0074] The flipping-down action and the flipping-up action of the pressing plate 22 can be operated by an operator or a mechanical hand. The use process of the tray 100 is described below.

[0075] The battery cell 200 to be detected is placed on the tray 1, a pressure is applied to the first contact part 221 of the pressing plate 22 towards the center side, the pressing plate 22 is flipped down to the first position, the magnetic attraction force between the magnetic attraction assembly and the first contact part 221 makes the pressing plate 22 stably kept in the first position, and then the battery cell 200 is tightly pressed on the tray 1.

[0076] After the battery cell 200 to be detected is fixed on the tray 100, the tray 100 carrying the battery cell 200 can be placed on the conveying line body of the detection equipment by a mechanical hand, a transfer device or an operator, and the tray 100 moves with the conveying line body into the detection channel of the detection equipment for detection.

[0077] After the detection of the battery cell 200 is completed, a pressure is applied to the second contact part 222 of the pressing plate 22 towards the center side, the pressing plate 22 is flipped up to the second position, the magnetic attraction force between the magnetic attraction assembly and the second contact part 222 makes the pressing plate 22 stably kept in the second position, so that the detected battery cell 200 can be taken off. Further, the next battery cell 200 to be detected is placed on the tray 1, and the above steps are repeated to detect the next battery cell 200.

[0078] By applying pressure to the first contact portion 221 or the second contact portion 222 of the pressing plate 22 towards the center surface side of the tray 1, the pressing plate 22 can be conveniently flipped to the first position or the second position. When the pressing plate 22 is flipped down to the first position, the magnetic attraction assembly generates a magnetic attraction force with the first contact portion 221, so that the pressing plate 22 is stably kept in the first position, thereby achieving compression of the battery cell 200. When the pressing plate 22 is flipped up to the second position, the magnetic attraction assembly generates a magnetic attraction force with the second contact portion 222, so that the pressing plate 22 is stably kept in the second position, thereby facilitating the taking and placing of the battery cell 200.

[0079] In the embodiments of the present application, the pressing plate 22 can be flexibly switched between the first position and the second position through the flipping down action and the flipping up action of the pressing plate 22. The pressing plate 22 can be stably kept in the first position state or the second position state through the magnetic attraction force between the magnetic attraction assembly and the pressing plate 22, so as to achieve compression of the battery cell 200 or taking and placing of the battery cell 200. The tray 100 can conveniently and quickly achieve compression or loosening of the battery cell 200.

[0080] As shown in FIGS. 8 to 12, in an optional embodiment, the connecting seat 21 includes a base 211 and a rotating connecting portion 212. The base 211 is arranged at the edge of the tray 1. Two rotating connecting portions 212 are arranged at the top surface of the base 211 in a spaced manner. The pressing plate 22 is located between the two rotating connecting portions 212. The rotating connecting portion 212 includes a connecting portion 2121 and a rotating portion 2122. The connecting portion 2121 is connected to the base 211.

[0081] Specifically, the connecting seat 21 includes a base 211 and a rotating connecting portion 212. The base 211 is in the shape of a cuboid. The base 211 is arranged at the edge of the tray 1. The base 211 can be connected to the tray 1 in a screwing manner. For example, a threaded hole is formed in the tray 1. A counterbore is formed in the base 211. A grub screw is screwed into the counterbore and the threaded hole in sequence, thereby achieving fixed connection of the base 211 and the tray 1.

[0082] The length direction of the base 211 is consistent with the length direction of the tray 1. Two rotating connecting portions 212 are arranged at the top surface of the base 211 in a spaced manner along the length direction of the base 211. The spacing between the two rotating connecting portions 212 is adapted to the width of the pressing plate 22. The pressing plate 22 is located between the two rotating connecting portions 212.

[0083] The rotating connecting portion 212 includes a connecting portion 2121 and a rotating portion 2122. The connecting portion 2121 can be connected to the base 211 in a screwing manner. For example, a first threaded hole is formed in the connecting portion 2121. A second threaded hole is formed in the base 211. The first threaded hole and the second threaded hole are coaxially arranged. A screw is screwed into the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole in sequence, thereby achieving connection of the connecting portion 2121 and the base 211.

An axle hole is arranged on the pressing plate 22, the axial direction of the axle hole is consistent with the width direction of the pressing plate 22, one end of the rotating part 2122 penetrates the axle hole of the pressing plate 22, and the rotating part 2122 is gap-fitted with the axle hole. By applying pressure to the first contact part 221 or the second contact part 222, the overturning action or the upturning action of the pressing plate 22 can be realized.

[0086] The assembling process of the pressing plate 22 and the connecting base 21 is as follows: after the rotating part 2122 and the connecting part 2121 are assembled, the two rotating parts 2122 are respectively penetrated into the axle holes of the pressing plate 22, and then the two rotating connecting parts 212 are placed on the base 211, and the base 211 and the connecting part 2121 are connected by screws, so that the rotating connection of the pressing plate 22 and the connecting base 21 is realized.

[0087] Further, as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 14, the end of the rotating part 2122 close to the connecting part 2121 is provided with a limiting plate 2123, and the limiting plate 2123 is coaxially arranged with the rotating part 2122. The rotating part 2122 and the connecting part 2121 are connected by screwing, the screwing position of the rotating part 2122 and the connecting part 2121 is adjusted by screwing the rotating part 2122, so that the distance between the two limiting plates 2123 on the two rotating connecting parts 212 is matched with the width of the pressing plate 22, that is, the distance between the two limiting plates 2123 is slightly greater than the width of the pressing plate 22. The pressing plate 22 has a first side surface facing one rotating connecting part 212 and a second side surface facing another rotating connecting part 212, and the width of the pressing plate 22 is the distance between the first side surface and the second side surface.

[0091] The pressing plate 22 is connected to the base 211 by the two rotating connecting portions 212, and the two rotating portions 2122 are beneficial to the stability of the rotation of the pressing plate 22.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present application, the pressing plate 22 is connected to the two rotating portions 2122, and the two rotating portions 2122 are connected to the base 211 by the two connecting portions 2121, so that the overall structure is compact, the assembly is convenient, and the two rotating portions 2122 are beneficial to the stability of the rotation of the pressing plate 22.

The pressing plate 22 further comprises a transition portion 223, two ends of the transition portion 223 are respectively connected to the first contact portion 221 and the second contact portion 222, and the transition portion 223 is in rotating connection with the rotating portion 2122. When the pressing plate 22 is in the first position state, the first contact portion 221 abuts against the first abutting surface, and when the pressing plate 22 is in the second position state, the second contact portion 222 abuts against the second abutting surface.

[0094] Specifically, the base 211 is provided with the first accommodating groove 2111 on the side away from the support plate 1, the first accommodating groove 2111 is formed by recessing from one end surface of the base 211 away from the support plate 1 to one end surface of the base 211 facing the support plate 1, the first accommodating groove 2111 comprises two first side groove wall surfaces and a first groove bottom surface, and the interval between the two first side groove wall surfaces is adapted to the width of the pressing plate 22.
