Abstract

This application relates to a pallet structure and a battery electrolyte injection apparatus. The pallet structure may include two pallets and a supporting assembly. Each of the pallets may include a supporting surface. The two pallets may be spaced apart vertically. The supporting assembly may be disposed between the two pallets. At least one of the pallets may include a base and a supporting plate. The supporting plate may be disposed on the base and include a supporting surface. The base may be a hollow member.

Claims (25)

1. A pallet structure, comprising:

two pallets, wherein each of the pallets comprises a supporting surface, and the two pallets are spaced apart vertically; and

a supporting assembly, disposed between the two pallets, wherein

at least one of the pallets comprises a base and a supporting plate, the supporting plate is disposed on the base and comprises the supporting surface, and the base is a hollow structure, and the base comprises a hollow portion, and a reinforcing structure is disposed to fill at least a part of the hollow portion.

2. The pallet structure according to claim 1 , wherein the base is made by splicing a plurality of tubes.

3. The pallet structure according to claim 2 , wherein the base comprises two longitudinal tubes and at least one transverse tube; and

the two longitudinal tubes are parallel to each other and spaced apart, and each transverse tube is connected between the two longitudinal tubes.

4. The pallet structure according to claim 3 , wherein there are at least two transverse tubes, and all the transverse tubes are spaced apart along an extension direction of the longitudinal tubes.

5. The pallet structure according to claim 3 , wherein the longitudinal tubes and the transverse tubes are both rectangular tubes.

6. The pallet structure according to claim 1 , wherein the base is made of carbon fiber.

7. The pallet structure according to claim 1 , wherein the supporting assembly comprises a guide post, one end of the guide post is connected to a lower pallet, and the other end of the guide post is connected to an upper pallet.

8. The pallet structure according to claim 1 , wherein the hollow portion of the base of the upper pallet comprises a first hollow portion, and the reinforcing structure disposed in the first hollow portion comprises a mating hole mated to a guide post.

9. The pallet structure according to claim 1 , wherein the hollow portion of the base of the lower pallet comprises a second hollow portion, and a guide post is inserted into the second hollow portion and supported on the reinforcing structure.

10. The pallet structure according to claim 1 , wherein the hollow portion of the base of the lower pallet further comprises a third hollow portion, the reinforcing structure disposed in the third hollow portion comprises a positioning hole, and the positioning hole is configured to mate with a positioning structure inserted into the positioning hole.

11. The pallet structure according to claim 1 , wherein the pallet further comprises a spacer, the spacer is disposed on a lower pallet and is configured to partition the pallet into at least two placement regions, and each placement region is configured to place a battery cell.

12. The pallet structure according to claim 1 , wherein the pallet structure further comprises a first snap-fastener and a second snap-fastener that are detachably snap-fastened, and the first snap-fastener and the second snap-fastener are disposed on two bases of the two pallets respectively.

13. A battery electrolyte injection apparatus, wherein the apparatus comprises:

the pallet structure according to claim 1 , wherein the supporting surface of a lower pallet is configured to place a battery cell; and

an injector, wherein the injector is supported on the supporting surface of an upper pallet and is configured to inject an electrolytic solution into the battery cell.

14. The battery electrolyte injection apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the injector comprises:

an injection cup, disposed on the upper pallet; and

a nozzle assembly, mated to the injection cup detachably and communicating with the injection cup, and configured to inject the electrolytic solution into the battery cell.

15. The battery electrolyte injection apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein the nozzle assembly comprises:

a fixing plate, detachably connected to the injection cup; and

at least one nozzle and a mounting structure, wherein the mounting structure is disposed on the fixing plate, each nozzle is mounted on the mounting structure, and the mounting structure is configured to implement communication between the injection cup and each nozzle.
