Battery Pallet Limiting Structure for Multi-Model Cell Handling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing battery pallets have low compatibility, limiting them to only accommodate batteries of a single model, making it difficult to transport and process batteries of different models.
Innovation Solution
A pallet design featuring a limiting structure with multiple limiting spaces of varying sizes, allowing it to accommodate batteries of different models by adjusting the size and arrangement of the limiting spaces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the pallet is designed with a fixed limiting structure for a single battery model, then the limiting precision for that specific model is high, but the adaptability to other battery models is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The limiting structure is divided into multiple independent limiting members (first limiting member, second limiting member, third limiting member, fourth limiting member) that can be selectively positioned. Each limiting member can be independently adjusted to create different limiting space configurations, allowing the pallet to adapt to various battery models without requiring a completely different structure for each model.
Solution Approach 2:
The limiting members are designed to be movable or adjustable rather than fixed, enabling dynamic reconfiguration of the limiting spaces. This allows the same pallet structure to adapt to different battery sizes and shapes by repositioning the limiting members, transforming a static single-purpose structure into a dynamic multi-purpose system.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple limiting spaces are added to accommodate different battery models, then the adaptability improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The limiting members are designed with multi-functionality, where each member can serve multiple purposes depending on its position. The same limiting member can participate in forming different limiting spaces for different battery models, reducing the total number of components needed while maintaining high adaptability across various battery types.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple limiting functions are merged into a unified limiting structure system. Rather than having separate dedicated limiting structures for each battery model, the patent combines multiple limiting capabilities into a single integrated system where limiting members can be reconfigured to serve different limiting space requirements.

AI summary
This application discloses a pallet (100), a battery processing device (1000), and a battery production line. The battery production line includes the battery processing device (1000), and the battery processing device (1000) includes the pallet (100). The pallet (100) includes a bottom support (10) and a limiting structure (20). The limiting structure (20) is disposed on the bottom support (10) and encloses a plurality of limiting spaces (201); the limiting spaces (201) are located on a side of the bottom support (10) in a first direction (Z) and are used for limiting batteries; and the plurality of limiting spaces (201) have different projections in the first direction (Z). In this way, the plurality of limiting spaces (201) can be used for limiting batteries of a plurality of different models separately, that is, the pallet (100) can be applicable to batteries of a plurality of different models, improving the compatibility and versatility of the pallet (100).
