Can meet the many types of PACK flexible assembly of mixed production needs, with small batch, high flexibility characteristics; Configuration of high-precision, flexible with the tray, to meet the different needs of the module assembly attitude;.
Are battery systems a product specific & uneconomical assembly system?
The absence of standards for battery cells and peripheral components in combination with large and distributed design spaces within passenger vehicles open up innumerable possibilities to design battery systems. The results are product specific and uneconomical assembly systems.
What is battery assembly?
Herein, the term battery assembly refers to cell, module and pack that are sequentially assembled for EV fields. The individual electrochemical cell can be applied in portable electronics such as cellphones, cameras and laptops [4, 5].
After the battery module is assembled, it needs to be placed into the battery tray. As this tray is a key structural component of the vehicle as well as integral in protecting the battery cells, it needs to be of the highest strength and stability.
EV batteries have become an integral part of the vehicle structure, making lithium-ion cell assembly and their integrity a safety-critical issue. One major diferentiating feature of battery concepts and designs is the cell type. The typical cell types on the market are currently cylindrical cells, prismatic cells, and pouch cells.
How does a battery tray assembly work?
The battery tray assembly consists of several production steps. Depending on the battery design and manufacturing processes, manual tightening with bolt positioning and process control, or flow drill fastening with K-Flow technology can bring the needed process quality, productivity and flexibility.
EVs have entered in the era of Li-ion batteries, and the battery integration mode has played a critical role in determining driving range and safety of EVs. Further increase of battery energy density principally relies on innovations of cell, module and packs.
