[0027] Example 1:
[0028] See Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an electrode buffer transfer device, which includes: a stacking buffer mechanism 100, the stacking buffer mechanism 100 including a mounting plate 110 and an opening and closing component 140, the opening and closing component 140 being disposed on the mounting plate 110, including two movable plates 142 and two surrounding plates 143 arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, wherein the two movable plates 142 are slidably connected to the mounting plate 110 along a first direction X, and any of the surrounding plates 143 moves synchronously with the mounting plate 110 to which it is connected, the two surrounding plates 143 jointly enclosing a stacking space 141, in which the electrode to be transferred is fixed. The movable plates 142 are provided with clamping grooves 1421, the clamping grooves 1421 being formed by the movable plates in the first direction X. The edge of the 142 is recessed inward; a transport mechanism 200 is disposed on one side of the stacking buffer mechanism 100, and includes a guide component 220 and a clamping component 230. The clamping component 230 is slidably connected to the guide component 220 and moves closer to / away from the stacking space 141 via the guide component 220. The clamping component 230 includes two clamping plates 231 and a bidirectional driver 232. The bidirectional driver 232 is connected to the guide component 220. The two clamping plates 231 are respectively connected to the two driving ends of the bidirectional driver 232 to move relative to each other along the first direction X. The clamping plates 231 are provided with clamping protrusions 2313, which can be embedded in the clamping grooves 1421. Further, this embodiment also includes a platform 300, to which both the stacking buffer mechanism 100 and the transport mechanism 200 are connected, thereby improving the integration level of this device.
[0029] It should be noted that, for ease of description, in this embodiment, the moving direction of the moving plate 142 is defined as the first direction X, the width direction of the moving plate 142 is defined as the second direction Y, and the height direction of the device is defined as the third direction Z. The first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are arranged perpendicular to each other in pairs, and the first direction X and the second direction Y are located in the same plane.
[0030] See Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the electrode buffering and transfer device in this embodiment is equipped with two sets of stacking buffer mechanisms 100 and transport mechanisms 200, thereby further improving its storage and transfer efficiency. Furthermore, the two sets of stacking buffer mechanisms 100 and transport mechanisms 200 in this embodiment have identical structural configurations; one set will be described in detail here: In this embodiment, the stacking buffer mechanism 100 is used to buffer the electrodes and stack them internally. The mounting plate 110 provides a mounting and connection platform for other structures, and the opening and closing component 140 clamps or releases the electrodes through relative movement in the first direction X. Furthermore, the enclosure plate 143 in this embodiment has an arc-shaped cross-section so that the stacking space 141 it encloses can match the shape of the graphite electrodes.
[0031] Furthermore, the stacking buffer mechanism 100 also includes a drive assembly 150, which includes an opening / closing driver 151 and a horizontal sliding plate 152. The horizontal sliding plate 152 moves along the first direction X via the opening / closing driver 151, and its free end is connected to the enclosure plate 143 and / or the moving plate 142 to adjust the size of the stacking space 141. Specifically, the drive assembly 150 also includes a connecting frame 153 and a connecting plate 154.

The connecting plate 154 has a connecting protrusion 1541 on the side facing the connecting frame 153, and the connecting frame 153 has a connecting groove. The connecting protrusion 1541 can be embedded in the connecting groove to detachably connect the connecting frame 153 and the connecting plate 154, thereby realizing the connection between the drive assembly 150 and the enclosure plate 143. In this embodiment, the opening and closing driver 151 is preferably a linear motor. In different implementations, the opening and closing driver 151 can be configured as other components with linear driving function, and this utility model does not impose specific limitations on this.
[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the stacked buffer mechanism 100 also includes a lifting module 120 and a lifting assembly 130. The lifting module 120 extends vertically, and the lifting assembly 130 includes a slider 131 and a support column 132. The slider 131 is slidably connected to the lifting module 120, and one end of the support column 132 is connected to the slider 131, while the other end is connected to the mounting plate 110, thereby driving the opening and closing assembly 140 to move vertically. Based on this, the opening and closing assembly 140 in this embodiment can adjust its specific operating position in a numerical direction to match different external devices, further improving its range of use and flexibility.
[0033] See Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the stacking buffer mechanism 100 in this embodiment further includes a limiting component 160, which is disposed on the mounting plate 110. The limiting component 160 includes a limiting driver 161 and a corner pusher 162. The corner pusher 162 is connected to the limiting driver 161 and moves towards / away from the corner of the moving plate 142 via the limiting driver 161. The corner pusher 162 is provided with a contoured groove 1621, into which the corner of the moving plate 142 can be embedded. Based on this, the limiting component 160 can synchronously press and limit the two moving plates 142 from the first direction X with the driving component 150 to ensure the stability of the stacking process.
[0034] See Figure 5 As shown, the transport mechanism 200 also includes a frame 210, and the guide assembly 220 includes a transverse module 221 and a longitudinal module 222. The transverse module 221 is supported on the frame 210 and extends along the second direction Y. The longitudinal module 222 is slidably connected to the transverse module 221 and extends along the third direction Z. The clamping assembly 230 is slidably connected to the longitudinal module 222, thereby enabling three-dimensional movement of the clamping assembly 230.
[0035] Further, see Figure 6 As shown, the clamping plate 231 in this embodiment further includes a connecting portion 2311 and an extension portion 2312. The connecting portion 2311 is connected to the working end of the bidirectional driver 232 and extends along the first direction X. One end of the extension portion 2312 is connected to the connecting portion 2311, and the other end extends along the third direction Z. The clamping protrusion 2313 is connected to the free end of the extension portion 2312. Based on this structural design, the clamping assembly 230 in this embodiment can accurately clamp the moving plate through the precise cooperation between the clamping protrusion 2313 and the clamping groove 1421. In actual operation, a flexible structure such as rubber can be provided between the clamping protrusion 2313 and the clamping groove 1421 to increase the friction between them, thereby improving the clamping stability.
[0036] The electrode buffer transfer device in this embodiment also includes a control mechanism. The stacking buffer mechanism 100 and the transport mechanism 200 are both connected to the control mechanism. In the actual production and processing process, the operator can adjust the above structure in real time through the control system, thereby improving the flexibility of the device. The operator can also preset parameters through the control system, thereby improving the automation level of the device.

[0039] In summary, the electrode buffer and transfer device and electrode processing system described in this utility model utilize a stacking buffer mechanism 100 to accommodate the electrodes to be transferred, followed by a transport mechanism 200 to achieve the overall transfer of the stacked electrodes. The stacking buffer mechanism 100, through the opening and closing component 140, can be used to fix electrodes of different models. The transport mechanism 200, through its high degree of coordination with the moving plate 142, achieves a stable transfer process for the stacked electrodes, thereby realizing efficient batch transfer of electrodes. Compared with current conventional transport technologies, this application has significant advantages such as flexibility, high degree of coordination, ease of control, stable transfer, strong controllability, and wide applicability, and has broad application prospects in the industry.
