Abstract

A containment apparatus for battery tray rack includes a pressing module, a securing module, and a controller. In response to that the containment apparatus is to form the containment on the battery tray rack, the controller controls the pressing module to apply a compressive force, so that the battery tray rack withstands a clamping pressure, and the controller controls the securing module to lock the battery tray rack to maintain the clamping pressure. In response to that the containment apparatus is to release the containment from the battery tray rack, the controller controls the pressing module to apply the compressive force, and the controller controls the securing module to unlock the battery tray rack, and then the controller controls the pressing module to cancel the compressive force.

Dependent claims

A containment apparatus for battery tray rack, wherein the containment apparatus comprises:

a frame comprising a base;
a pressing module comprising a compressive force generator and a pressing head, wherein the pressing head is connected to the compressive force generator, the compressive force generator is arranged on the frame, and the compressive force generator is adapted to drive the pressing head to move toward or away from the battery tray rack;
at least one securing module comprising a slidable stage and a locking device, wherein the locking device is arranged on the slidable stage, and the slidable stage is slidably arranged on the base and coupled to the pressing head;
and
a controller electrically connected to the pressing module and the at least one securing module;
wherein in response to that the controller drives the compressive force generator to move the at least one securing module toward the battery tray rack through the pressing head and to compress the battery tray rack, the controller controls the locking device to lock the battery tray rack to form a containment on the battery tray rack or to unlock the battery tray rack to release the containment.

A containment apparatus for battery tray rack, wherein the containment apparatus is adapted to apply a compressive force to a battery tray rack and to form a containment on the battery tray rack or to release the containment on the battery tray rack to cancel the compressive force;

the battery tray rack comprises a force-bearing plate and at least one clamping bolt;
the containment apparatus comprises:
a pressing module corresponding to the force-bearing plate of the battery tray rack;
at least one securing module corresponding to the at least one clamping bolt of the battery tray rack;
and
a controller electrically connected to the pressing module and the at least one securing module;
wherein in response to that the containment apparatus is to contain the battery tray rack, the controller controls the pressing module to apply the compressive force to the force-bearing plate, so that the battery tray rack withstands a clamping pressure, and the controller controls the at least one securing module to lock the at least one clamping bolt to maintain the clamping pressure;
in response to that the containment apparatus is to release the battery tray rack from the containment, the controller controls the pressing module to apply the compressive force to the force-bearing plate, and in response to that the controller controls the at least one securing module to unlock the at least one clamping bolt, the controller controls the pressing module to cancel the compressive force applied to the force-bearing plate.
