Abstract

A battery pack assembly guide jig for guiding an assembly of a battery pack having a case tray and a case cover is provided. The battery pack assembly jig includes a first guide configured to temporarily fix a first side edge of the case tray and a first side edge of the case cover, and a second guide spaced apart from the first guide by a predetermined distance and configured to temporarily fix a second side edge of the case tray opposite the first side edge of the case tray and a second side edge of the case cover opposite the first side edge of the case cover. The battery pack assembly guide jig is configured to support the case tray and the case cover of the battery pack when the case tray and the case cover are coupled to each other.

Claims (24)

1 . A battery pack assembly guide jig for guiding an assembly of a battery pack, the battery pack assembly guide jig being configured to support a case tray and a case cover of the battery pack when the case tray and the case cover are coupled to each other, the battery pack assembly guide jig comprising:

a first guiding body having a predetermined shape;

a first tray insertion portion provided in the first guiding body and into which the first side edge of the case tray is insertable, the first tray insertion portion being a first groove in the first guiding body; and

a first cover insertion portion provided in the first guiding body to be spaced apart from the first tray insertion portion by a predetermined distance and into which the first side edge of the case cover is insertable, the first cover insertion portion being a second groove in the first guiding body and arranged parallel to the first tray insertion portion; and

a second guide spaced apart from the first guide by a predetermined distance and configured to temporarily fix a second side edge of the case tray opposite the first side edge of the case tray and a second side edge of the case cover opposite the first side edge of the case cover.

2 . The battery pack assembly guide jig of claim 1 , further comprising a connector configured to connect the first guide and the second guide.

3 . The battery pack assembly guide jig of claim 2 , wherein the first guide is provided in a pair, and

wherein the pair of first guides are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance in a height direction of the battery pack.

4 . The battery pack assembly guide jig of claim 2 , wherein the second guide is provided in a pair, and

wherein the pair of second guides are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance in a height direction of the battery pack.

5 . The battery pack assembly guide jig of claim 2 , wherein the connector comprises:

a first connection member configured to connect the first guide and the second guide; and

a second connection member spaced apart from the first connection member by a predetermined distance in a height direction of the battery pack and configured to connect the first guide and the second guide.

6 . The battery pack assembly guide jig of claim 2 , wherein the first tray insertion portion and the first cover insertion portion have a predetermined depth and extend in an up and down direction of the first guiding body.

7 . The battery pack assembly guide jig of claim 2 , wherein the second guide comprises:

a second guiding body having a predetermined shape;

a second tray insertion portion provided in the second guiding body and into which the second side edge of the case tray is insertable, the second tray insertion portion being a first groove in the second guiding body; and

a second cover insertion portion provided in the second guiding body to be spaced apart from the second tray insertion portion by a predetermined distance and into which the second side edge of the case cover is insertable, the second cover insertion portion being a second groove in the second guiding body and arranged parallel to the second tray insertion portion.

8 . The battery pack assembly guide jig of claim 7 , wherein the second tray insertion portion and the second cover insertion portion have a predetermined depth and extend in an up and down direction of the second guiding body.

9 . The battery pack assembly guide jig of claim 3 , wherein the second guide is provided in a pair, and

wherein the pair of second guides are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance in a height direction of the battery pack.

10 . The battery pack assembly guide jig of claim 6 , wherein a width of the first cover insertion portion decreases from an upper portion to a lower portion of the first guiding body.
