[0002] In some plate-like material storage boxes such as graphite boats or battery boxes, at least two partitions are slidingly installed at equal intervals, and plate-like materials such as graphite boats or batteries are inserted between two adjacent partitions. The partitions are in floating elastic contact with each other, so that the two partitions can clamp the materials therein to prevent the materials from moving during transportation. When the materials are taken out of the box by jacking, the two partitions need to be slightly pushed apart so that the distance between the partitions is slightly larger than the thickness of the materials, so that the materials can be taken out smoothly.

[0003] When the partition is pushed open, the material will fall over when it is lifted to a height that exceeds 1 / 2 of its height due to the loss of the partition's restraint and guidance. The spacing between adjacent materials cannot be effectively guaranteed, which results in the robot being unable to perform the handling operation smoothly and effectively, greatly reducing the efficiency and success rate of material removal.

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to develop a partition positioning and material taking guiding device to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

Only one power source is used to realize the clamping and at the same time pushing the partition open to facilitate the taking out of the material, which greatly reduces the structural complexity, improves the transmission efficiency, and is conducive to the quick and smooth taking out of the material; secondly, it can play a role in straightening and guiding the material in the process of lifting and taking out the material from the material box to prevent the material from falling over. During the lifting and taking out of the material, the distance between adjacent materials can also be effectively controlled, so that the manipulator can smoothly and effectively carry out the handling operation, greatly improving the material taking out efficiency and success rate.

[0040] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and the above-mentioned and other objects, features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become more obvious, so that those skilled in the art can implement them according to the description.

[0041] In the drawings, the shapes and dimensions may be exaggerated for clarity, and the same reference numerals will be used throughout to designate the same or like components.

[0042] In the following description, words such as center, thickness, height, length, front, back, rear, left, right, top, bottom, upper, lower, etc. are defined relative to the structure shown in the drawings. In particular, "height" is equivalent to the dimension from top to bottom, "width" is equivalent to the dimension from left to right, and "depth" is equivalent to the dimension from front to back. They are relative concepts and may change accordingly according to their different positions and different usage states. Therefore, these or other directions should not be interpreted as restrictive terms.

[0043] Terms related to attachment, coupling, and the like (eg, "connected" and "attached") refer to either a fixed or attached relationship between structures, either directly or indirectly, and either movable or rigid attachments or relationships, unless expressly stated otherwise, of the structures to one another through intermediate structures.

[0044] Reference Figure 5 , the battery box 300 includes:

[0045] A left vertical plate 321 and a right vertical plate 322 arranged parallel and opposite to each other;

[0046] Four fixing columns 324 connected between the left vertical plate 321 and the right vertical plate 322; and

[0047] At least two partitions 331 are slidably inserted into the four fixing columns 324.

[0048] Among them, a battery 332 is inserted between two adjacent partitions 331, and a return spring 323 is provided between the two partitions 331, which is inserted into the fixing column 324, so that the two partitions 331 can clamp the battery 332 therein to prevent the battery 332 from moving during transportation. When the battery 332 is taken out of the material box 300 by jacking, the two partitions 331 need to be slightly pushed apart so that the spacing between the partitions 331 is slightly larger than the thickness of the battery 332, so that the battery 332 can be taken out smoothly. When the partitions 331 are pushed apart, the battery 332 loses the restraint and guidance of the partitions 331. When the battery 332 is taken out of the material box 300 by jacking, the battery 332 will fall over when it is lifted to a height position exceeding 1 / 2 of its height dimension. The spacing between adjacent batteries 332 cannot be effectively guaranteed, which results in the robot arm being unable to smoothly and effectively perform the handling operation, greatly reducing the efficiency and success rate of battery 332 removal.

[0049] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Fig.11 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that the partition positioning and material taking guide device includes two sets of symmetrically arranged positioning guide mechanisms 710, and the two sets of positioning guide mechanisms 710 are arranged in parallel and at intervals to form a positioning guide space located therebetween. The positioning guide mechanism 710 includes:

[0050] Righting frame 711;

[0051] A pushing frame 714, which is arranged directly below the straightening frame 711;

[0052] A straightening mounting plate 712, which is slidably connected to the straightening frame 711;

[0053] A straightening assembly 718, which is fixedly connected to the inner side of the straightening mounting plate 712, so that the straightening assemblies 718 on the two sets of positioning guide mechanisms 710 are arranged opposite to each other;

[0054] A sliding plate 7142 slidably connected to the pushing frame 714; and

[0055] A push-and-hold positioning plate 716, which is fixedly connected to the inner side of the sliding plate 7142, so that the push-and-hold positioning plates 716 on the two sets of positioning guide mechanisms 710 are arranged opposite to each other;

[0056] The pushing and positioning plate 716 is located directly below the straightening assembly 718 .

[0057] Reference Figure 2 and Fig.11 The straightening frame 711 is provided with a straightening driver 713, and the straightening mounting plate 712 is transmission-connected with the straightening driver 713. The straightening mounting plates 712 on the two sets of positioning and guiding mechanisms 710 are pushed toward or away from each other by their respective straightening drivers 713.

[0058] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The pushing frame 714 is provided with a pushing positioning driver 715 which is transmission-connected with the sliding plate 7142 . The pushing positioning plates 716 on the two sets of positioning guide mechanisms 710 are pushed by their respective pushing positioning drivers 715 to move closer to or farther from each other.

[0059] Reference Figures 4 to 10 , the straightening assembly 718 comprises:

[0060] A centralizing mounting base plate 7181, which is fixedly connected to the centralizing mounting plate 712; and

[0061] At least two straightening guide posts 7182 fixedly connected to the straightening mounting base plate 7181 at equal intervals,

[0062] Among them, the two straightening guide pillars 7182 are arranged in parallel to form a guiding space between them.

[0063] Furthermore, the straightening guide column 7182 extends in the vertical direction.

[0064] Further, the height of the righting guide post 7182 is 1 / 2 to 2 / 3 of the height of the battery 332. In a preferred embodiment, the height of the righting guide post 7182 is 1 / 2 of the height of the battery 332.

[0065] Reference Figure 7 The straightening guide column 7182 includes straight segments that protrude outward in sequence from the straightening mounting base plate 7181 and a tip segment whose projection area on the horizontal plane gradually shrinks.

[0066] Furthermore, a first guide plane 7182a is formed on the outer side of the straight section, and a second guide plane 7182b is formed on the outer side of the tip section, and the angle between the first guide plane 7182a and the second guide plane 7182b is 115° to 155°. In one embodiment, the angle between the first guide plane 7182a and the second guide plane 7182b is 115°; in another embodiment, the angle between the first guide plane 7182a and the second guide plane 7182b is 155°; in a preferred embodiment, the angle between the first guide plane 7182a and the second guide plane 7182b is 135°.

[0067] Furthermore, the junction between the first guide plane 7182a and the second guide plane 7182b is smoothly transitioned. With this design, when the battery 332 is lifted between the two straightening guides 7182, it is possible to prevent the battery from being scratched or collided with the straightening guides 7182, thereby maintaining the integrity of the battery.

[0068] Furthermore, an arc-shaped rounded corner section 7182c is formed at the end of the tip section.

[0069] Furthermore, an adjusting guide rail 7111 is fixedly connected to the top of the straightening frame 711 , and the straightening mounting plate 712 is slidably connected to the adjusting guide rail 7111 .

[0070] Reference Figure 11 to Figure 13 At least two positioning teeth 717 are arranged at equal intervals on the positioning plate 716 along its length direction.

[0071] Furthermore, one end of the positioning tooth 717 is fixedly connected to the pushing positioning plate 716 , and the end surface of the other end is a planar pushing plane 7171 .

[0072] Furthermore, the plane where the pushing plane 7171 is located is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the pushing positioning plate 716. When the positioning teeth 717 are wedged between the two partitions 331, the pushing plane 7171 can fit the outer side of the battery 332, thereby slightly clamping the battery 332 to prevent the battery 332 from sliding out of the material box 300 after losing the clamping force of the partition 331.

[0073] Furthermore, the positioning teeth 717 are rectangular, and the corners on both sides of the pushing plane 7171 are formed with side push inclined surfaces 7172. With this structure, on the one hand, the end of the positioning teeth 717 can be guided between the two partitions 331, and on the other hand, the partitions 331 can be continuously pushed open during the continuous wedging of the positioning teeth 717. Only one action is required to achieve the pushing and positioning of the battery 332 and to expand the gap between the partitions 331. The structure is compact and the transmission is reliable.

[0074] Furthermore, the angle between the side push inclined surface 7172 and the sliding direction of the push positioning plate 716 is 30° to 60°. In one embodiment, the angle between the side push inclined surface 7172 and the sliding direction of the push positioning plate 716 is 30°; in another embodiment, the angle between the side push inclined surface 7172 and the sliding direction of the push positioning plate 716 is 60°; in a preferred embodiment, the angle between the side push inclined surface 7172 and the sliding direction of the push positioning plate 716 is 45°.

[0075] In a preferred embodiment, there are 12 positioning teeth 717 .

[0076] When the material box 300 is conveyed to the positioning and guiding space, the positioning plates 716 on the two groups of positioning and guiding mechanisms 710 are close to each other, so that the positioning teeth 717 on the positioning plates 716 are wedged between the partitions 331 on the front and rear sides of the material box 300, and finally the spacing between the partitions 331 is pushed open by the positioning teeth 717 by 1.5 to 5 mm; at the same time, the straightening mounting base plates 7181 on the two groups of positioning and guiding mechanisms 710 are close to each other, so that the straightening guide columns 7182 are located at the edges of the front and rear sides of the battery 332, and the battery 332 can fall between two adjacent straightening guide columns 7182 during the lifting process.

[0077] The number of devices and processing scales described here are used to simplify the description of the present invention. Applications, modifications and variations of the present invention will be obvious to those skilled in the art.

[0078] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed as above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and implementation modes. They can be fully applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. For those familiar with the art, additional modifications can be easily implemented. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and the scope of equivalents, the present invention is not limited to the specific details and the illustrations shown and described herein.
