Abstract

A battery pressurizing device includes a carrying mechanism for carrying a battery; and a pressurizing mechanism movable relative to the carrying mechanism, wherein the pressurizing mechanism includes a mounting member and a pressurizing member, the pressurizing member is arranged on the mounting member and is rotatable relative to the mounting member, the pressurizing member is configured to abut against the battery along a first direction to apply pressure on the battery.

Claims (23)

1 . A battery pressurizing device, comprising:

a carrying structure for carrying a battery;

a pressurizing structure movable relative to the carrying structure,

wherein the pressurizing structure includes a mounting structure and a pressurizing rotator, the pressurizing rotator is arranged on the mounting structure and is rotatable relative to the mounting structure, and the pressurizing rotator is configured to abut against the battery along a first direction to apply pressure on the battery,

the pressurizing structure includes a plurality of pressurizing assemblies, each of the pressurizing assemblies includes a plurality of pressurizing rotators arranged side by side along a second direction, each of the pressurizing assemblies is mounted on the mounting structure, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction,

each of the pressurizing assemblies arranged at intervals and spaced from one another along a third direction, and the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction, and

two adjacent pressurizing rotators of the plurality of pressurizing rotators in each of the pressurizing assemblies are staggered along the third direction.

2 . The battery pressurizing device according to claim 1 , wherein the pressurizing rotator includes at least one roller, and a rotation plane of the roller is parallel to the abutting direction of the pressurizing rotator abutting against the battery.

3 . The battery pressurizing device according to claim 2 , wherein the outer peripheral surface of the roller is at least partially arc-shaped.

4 . The battery pressurizing device according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of the pressurizing rotator is made of an elastic insulating material.

5 . The battery pressurizing device according to claim 1 , wherein projections of two adjacent pressurizing rotators along the third direction are at least partially overlapped.

6 . The battery pressurizing device according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting structure includes a first mounting sub-structure and a plurality of second mounting sub-structures, the plurality of second mounting sub-structures are mounted on one side of the first mounting sub-structure along the first direction, and the pressurizing rotator is rotatably connected to the second mounting sub-structures.

7 . The battery pressurizing device according to claim 6 , wherein the pressurizing structure further includes an elastic structure, and the elastic structure is arranged between the first mounting sub-structure and the second mounting sub-structure.

8 . The battery pressurizing device according to claim 7 , wherein the pressurizing structure-further includes a connecting rod, the connecting rod is used to connect the first mounting sub-structure and the second mounting sub-structure, and the elastic structure is sleeved on the connecting rod.

9 . The battery pressurizing device according to claim 6 , wherein the second mounting sub-structure is connected with the plurality of pressurizing rotators.

10 . The battery pressurizing device according to claim 6 , wherein the second mounting sub-structure includes a main body and at least a pair of lugs extending from the main body in the first direction, each pair of lugs are spaced apart and arranged in parallel in the second direction, so that each pressurizing rotator is rotatably mounted in each pair of lugs by means of a pivot structure.

11 . The battery pressurizing device according to claim 1 , wherein a spacing between the plurality of pressurizing assemblies in the third direction is adjustable through a spacing-changing structure connected to the mounting structure.

12 . The battery pressurizing device according to claim 11 , wherein the spacing-changing structure includes a bidirectional adjusting screw.

13 . The battery pressurizing device according to claim 11 , wherein the battery pressurizing device further includes a fixing structure, a plurality of first mounting sub-structures are slidably connected to the fixing structure along the third direction, and the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.

14 . The battery pressurizing device according to claim 1 , wherein the battery pressurizing device further includes a driving structure and a position-limiting structure, the driving structure is configured to drive the pressurizing structure to move along the first direction, and the position-limiting structure is configured to limit the stroke of the driving structure.

15 . The battery pressurizing device according to claim 14 , wherein the battery pressurizing device further includes a sensor to detect whether the driving structure reaches the stroke.

16 . The battery pressurizing device according to claim 14 , wherein the battery pressurizing device further includes a motion buffer to buffer the movement of the position-limiting structure when the driving structure reaches the stroke.

17 . The battery pressurizing device according to claim 1 , wherein the battery pressurizing device further includes a shaping structure to apply pressure to the battery, a direction in which the shaping structure pressurizes the battery being perpendicular to the first direction.
