Battery Module Tray Clamping for Stable Production Line Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Vibrations during the movement of battery modules on a production line cause displacement and shake of battery cells, affecting subsequent assembly and inspection in the battery production process.
Innovation Solution
A module tray with clamping plates and a clamping mechanism that cooperatively clamp and fix battery modules, using support members and pushing structures to stabilize the modules and reduce vibrations, allowing for stable movement and processing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If battery modules are driven by a tray to move on the production line, then productivity is improved, but vibrations cause shake and displacement of battery cells affecting manufacturing precision
Solution Approach 1:
The clamping mechanism applies clamping force to the battery module before and during movement on the production line. The clamping plates are positioned to contact and secure the battery module, preventing displacement and shake of battery cells during transportation, thus counteracting the harmful vibrations before they affect manufacturing precision
Solution Approach 2:
The clamping mechanism acts as an intermediary between the tray and the battery module. It transfers the movement from the tray to the battery module while maintaining stable contact through the clamping plates, reducing direct vibration transmission and ensuring precise positioning during production line operation
2Device complexity
If a simple tray is used to support battery modules, then device complexity is reduced, but stability of battery modules during movement deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The tray structure is segmented into multiple functional components: the base tray for support and the separate clamping mechanism with clamping plates for stabilization. This segmentation allows the simple tray to maintain its structural simplicity while the added clamping components provide the necessary stability during movement without overcomplicating the overall system

AI summary
This application provides a module tray and a battery production device. The module tray includes: a tray body configured to support a battery module; two clamping plates extending along a first direction respectively; and a clamping mechanism configured to support and drive the two clamping plates to cooperatively clamp and fix the battery module; where the clamping mechanism is mounted on the tray body, and the clamping plate is mounted on the clamping mechanism. The tray body is provided for supporting the battery module, and the clamping mechanism is provided to push the two clamping plates to cooperatively clamp and fix two opposite sides of the battery module on the tray body, so that the shake of the battery module can be alleviated during movement, and the displacement of battery cells in the battery module can also be reduced, facilitating the subsequent processing and manufacturing.
