Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a battery pack assembly fixture provided in an embodiment of the present application; fig. 2 is a schematic structural view of the reshaping module 100 of fig. 1 when it carries the edge beam 02. As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the battery pack assembly tool provided in the embodiment of the present application includes: a shaping module 100, the shaping module 100 having an abutting surface a for shaping a side surface of the plurality of stacked batteries 01 in the battery pack; the shaping module 100 is further provided with an accommodating space (shown as a dotted line frame in fig. 2) for completely accommodating the boundary beam 02, and the boundary beam 02 placed in the accommodating space can move synchronously with the shaping module 100; the accommodating space is located on one side of the abutting surface a, and the accommodating space does not exceed the abutting surface a on one side of the shaping module 100 facing the plurality of stacked batteries 01. It should be understood that the boundary beam 02 may be completely disposed in the accommodating space a, and the shape of the accommodating space a is not necessarily a rectangular parallelepiped as shown in fig. 2, which is only schematically illustrated in fig. 2. In addition, since the edge beam 02 can be completely placed in the accommodating space, the edge beam 02 does not go beyond the abutting surface a on the side of the reforming module 100 that faces the plurality of stacked cells 01.

Specifically, in the battery pack assembly tool provided in the embodiment of the present application, the shaping module 100 can shape the side surface of the battery 01 in the battery pack, and because the accommodating space does not exceed the abutting surface a, the boundary beam 02 placed in the accommodating space does not interfere with the shaping operation of the abutting surface a on the battery 01. When the battery pack assembling tool provided by the embodiment of the application is applied, the abutting surface A of the shaping module 100 abuts against the side surface of the battery 01 so as to shape the side surfaces of the plurality of stacked batteries 01 in the battery pack; the boundary beam 02 placed in the accommodating space can be synchronously pressed and assembled with the battery pack box body.

In order to more clearly understand the battery pack assembly tool provided in the embodiments of the present application, please refer to the structure shown in fig. 1, a plurality of spaces may be partitioned by partition beams 03 in the battery pack, and a plurality of batteries 01 may be placed in each space to form a battery unit or a battery pack; after the batteries 01 are placed, the boundary beams 02 around the battery pack are assembled. Illustratively, taking the shaping module 100 placed on one side of the battery unit formed by the plurality of batteries 01 along the first direction as an example, the edge beam 02 on each shaping module 100 may abut against the side surfaces of the batteries 01 in the three spaces on the one side to synchronously shape the plurality of batteries 01 in the three spaces to form the structure shown in fig. 3.

It should be noted that, referring to the structure shown in fig. 4, since there is a separating beam 03 extending along a first direction in the battery pack, the separating beam 03 may extend beyond the side of the battery 01 along the first direction, and at this time, it should be noted that, along a second direction (the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction), the battery 01 needs to extend beyond the separating beam 03, so that the abutting surface a can act on the portion of the battery 01 beyond the separating beam 03, thereby implementing the shaping operation of the shaping module 100 on the side of the battery 01.

It should be understood that, in the first direction, the size of the abutment surface a beyond the receiving space is related to the pre-design of the battery 01 and the pre-design of the edge beam 02. Illustratively, "pre-design for battery 01" means: in the first direction, the placement position of the plurality of stacked cells 01 in each space is designed; the preset design of the boundary beam 02 refers to the design of the preset positions of the boundary beam 02 and the separation beam 03 or the design of the pre-pressing amount of the boundary beam 02.

In one embodiment, the shaping module 100 is provided with a positioning portion for positioning the relative position of the boundary beam 02 in the accommodating space.
