Abstract

This application discloses a battery tray and a battery formation and capacity-grading device. The battery tray includes a fixed frame; and a fixed component located in the fixed frame, the fixed component including a first limiting assembly and a second limiting assembly, the first limiting assembly including at least two first limiting members which extend along a first direction respectively and are spaced apart along a second direction which intersects the first direction, the second limiting assembly being connected to the first limiting assembly and including at least two second limiting members which are disposed along the first direction and are connected with the first limiting members to form a limiting space for accommodating a battery cell, and the second limiting members being movably disposed along the first limiting members in the first direction.

Claims (25)

1 . A battery tray, comprising

a fixed frame; and

a fixed component located in the fixed frame, the fixed component comprising a first limiting assembly and a second limiting assembly, the first limiting assembly comprising at least two first limiting members which extend along a first direction respectively and are spaced apart along a second direction which intersects the first direction, the second limiting assembly being connected to the first limiting assembly and comprising at least two second limiting members which are disposed along the first direction and are connected with the first limiting members to form a limiting space for accommodating a battery cell, and the second limiting members being movably disposed along the first limiting members in the first direction;

wherein the second limiting assembly comprises two second limiting members spaced apart to form the limiting space,

the fixed component further comprises an adjustment portion through which a plurality of second limiting members are connected to at least one of the first limiting members, and the adjustment portion is movably disposed along the first direction relative to the first limiting members so as to drive the second limiting members to move along the first direction through the adjustment portion,

the second limiting members and the adjustment portion are disposed on two sides of the first limiting members in the second direction, respectively, and a connecting component configured to connect the adjustment portion is disposed on the second limiting members, and

a first waist hole extending along the first direction is disposed on the first limiting members, and the connecting component is connected to the adjustment portion through the first waist hole.

2 . The battery tray according to claim 1 , wherein the two second limiting members at least partially overlap along a third direction which intersects the first direction and the second direction.

3 . The battery tray according to claim 1 , wherein the two second limiting members forming the limiting space are connected to different first limiting members, respectively.

4 . The battery tray according to claim 1 , wherein the fixed component further comprises an adjustment mechanism which is configured to drive the adjustment portion to move along the first limiting members, the adjustment mechanism comprises a fixed portion fixedly connected to the first limiting members and a sliding portion fixedly connected to the adjustment portion, and the fixed portion and the sliding portion are relatively movably disposed along the first direction such that the sliding portion is capable of driving the adjustment portion to move.

5 . The battery tray according to claim 4 , wherein the adjustment portion is provided with a through groove in which the fixed portion is located and fixedly connected to the first limiting member;

and/or

wherein the fixed portion and the sliding portion are connected by a screw or by a restoring member which is deformable reciprocally along the first direction.

6 . The battery tray according to claim 1 , wherein a position of at least one of the first limiting members relative to the fixed frame along the second direction is adjustable.

7 . The battery tray of claim 6 , wherein

the fixed frame comprises a bottom portion and a side portion connected to a peripheral side of the bottom portion, and the first limiting assembly is connected to the bottom portion; and

the first limiting members comprise a supporting portion configured to support the battery cell and a limiting portion to which the second limiting members are connected, the supporting portion is connected to the bottom portion, and a position of the supporting portion at the bottom portion along the second direction is adjustable.

8 . The battery tray according to claim 7 , wherein a plurality of limiting holes spaced apart along the second direction is disposed on at least one of the bottom portion and the supporting portion, and the supporting portion is limited at the bottom portion through the limiting holes;

and/or

wherein at least one of the supporting portion and the bottom portion comprises a second waist hole extending along the second direction such that the supporting portion is fixedly connected to the bottom portion through the second waist hole.

9 . The battery tray according to claim 1 , further comprising a raising block located in the limiting space and detachably connected to the fixed frame.

10 . The battery tray according to claim 9 , wherein the raising block comprises a body portion and a plug-in portion which extends from the body portion, and the raising block is plugged into the fixed frame through the plug-in portion;

wherein a surface of the body portion is recessed toward the plug portion to form an avoidance portion such that the raising block is capable of being removed from the fixed frame through the avoidance portion; and

wherein the raising block comprises at least two plug-in portions, and the avoidance portion is located between adjacent two of the plug-in portions.

11 . A battery formation and capacity-grading device comprising the battery tray according to claim 1 .
