This invention discloses a
flexible battery module
thermoforming bracket and protection method with adaptive
cell expansion, belonging to the field of
thermoforming bracket technology. It includes a
thermoforming bracket body,
cell positioning cavities, an adaptive mechanism, an adjustment mechanism, a detection and movement mechanism, and a buffer mechanism. Sixteen
cell positioning cavities are located at the top center of the thermoforming bracket body. The adaptive mechanism uses springs, electrical springs, resistance strain gauges, telescopic rods, and spherical blocks to actively and adaptively buffer
cell expansion, preventing permanent failure of the springs and monitoring the expansion force to avoid
cracking and deformation of the thermoforming bracket body. The adjustment mechanism dynamically adjusts the internal dimensions of the cell positioning cavities according to the
cell expansion state by inflating and deflating the airbags, actively adapting to
cell expansion and contraction, preventing
cracking and deformation of the thermoforming bracket body, maintaining pre-tight positioning of the cells, preventing short circuits, and improving the structural protection of the thermoforming bracket body.
