Abstract

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

The pallet according to claim 1 , wherein two of the limiting spaces are respectively a first limiting space and a second limiting space; in a second direction (Y), size of the first limiting space is smaller than size of the second limiting space; and the second direction (Y) intersects with the first direction (Z).

6 . The pallet according to claim 5 , wherein in a third direction (X), size of the first limiting space is smaller than size of the second limiting space; and the third direction (X) intersects with both the first direction (Z) and the second direction (Y), and the first direction (Z), the second direction (Y), and the third direction (X) are all not in a same plane.

7 . The pallet according to claim 1 , wherein the limiting structure comprises at least one set of limiting assemblies, and the limiting assemblies comprise a first limiting member and a second limiting member spaced apart on the bottom support along the second direction (Y), and a third limiting member and a fourth limiting member spaced apart on the bottom support along the third direction (X), wherein the first limiting member, the second limiting member, the third limiting member, and the fourth limiting member enclose the plurality of limiting spaces; and the first direction (Z) intersects with the second direction (Y), the first direction (Z) intersects with the third direction (X), the second direction (Y) intersects with the third direction (X), and the first direction (Z), the second direction (Y), and the third direction (X) are not all located in a same plane.

8 . The pallet according to claim 7 , wherein the first limiting member comprises a plurality of first sub-blocks disposed sequentially along the second direction (Y), and in a direction of the first sub-blocks leaving the second limiting member in the second direction (Y), the plurality of first sub-blocks have gradually increasing sizes in the first direction (Z); and each of the first sub-blocks is used to enclose the limiting space together with the second limiting member, and the limiting spaces corresponding to the plurality of first sub-blocks are sequentially arranged in communication along the first direction (Z).

9 . The pallet according to claim 8 , wherein the plurality of first sub-blocks are spaced apart along the second direction (Y); or the plurality of first sub-blocks are sequentially connected along the second direction (Y) to form a stepped structure.

10 . The pallet according to claim 8 , wherein the second limiting member comprises a plurality of second sub-blocks distributed sequentially along the second direction (Y), wherein in a direction of the second sub-blocks leaving the first sub-blocks along the second direction (Y), the plurality of second sub-blocks have gradually increasing sizes in the first direction (Z), and each of the second sub-blocks is used to enclose the limiting space together with the corresponding first sub-block.

11 . The pallet according to claim 10 , wherein the plurality of second sub-blocks are spaced apart along the second direction (Y); or the plurality of second sub-blocks are sequentially connected along the second direction (Y) to form a stepped structure.

12 .
