Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of machinery, and in particular to a straightening and guiding mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In some plate-like material storage boxes such as graphite boats or battery boxes, at least two partitions are slidingly provided 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, they are prone to fall over during the jacking process because they lose the restraint of the partitions, and the spacing between adjacent materials cannot be effectively guaranteed. This results in the robot being unable to perform the handling operation smoothly and effectively, greatly reducing the efficiency and success rate of material removal.

[0003] In view of this, it is necessary to develop a straightening and guiding mechanism to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a straightening and guiding mechanism, which can play a role in straightening and guiding materials during the process of lifting and taking out materials from a material box, thereby preventing the materials from falling over. During the process of lifting and taking out materials, the distance between adjacent materials can also be effectively controlled, so that the manipulator can perform the handling operation smoothly and effectively, greatly improving the material retrieval efficiency and success rate.

[0027] 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.

[0028] 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.

[0029] 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.

[0030] 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.

[0031] Reference Figure 6 , the battery box 300 includes:

[0032] A left vertical plate 321 and a right vertical plate 322 arranged parallel and opposite to each other;

[0033] Four fixing columns 324 connected between the left vertical plate 321 and the right vertical plate 322; and

[0034] At least two partitions 331 are slidably inserted into the four fixing columns 324.

[0035] Among them, a battery 332 is inserted between two adjacent partitions 331, and a return spring 323 is provided between the two partitions 331 and is inserted into the fixed 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 from the material box 300 by jacking, when the battery is lifted to a certain height, the clamping force of the partition 331 is insufficient, and the battery will fall over, and the spacing between adjacent batteries cannot be effectively guaranteed, which results in the robot arm being unable to perform the transportation operation smoothly and effectively, greatly reducing the battery removal efficiency and success rate.

[0036] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 to Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1 , it can be seen that the straightening and guiding mechanism includes:

[0037] Righting frame 711;

[0038] a straightening mounting plate 712, which is slidably connected to the straightening frame 711; and

[0039] The straightening assembly 718 is fixedly connected to the straightening mounting plate 712.

[0040] The straightening frame 711 is provided with a straightening driver 713 , and the straightening mounting plate 712 is transmission-connected to the straightening driver 713 .

[0041] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the straightening assembly 718 comprises:

[0042] A centralizing mounting base plate 7181, which is fixedly connected to the centralizing mounting plate 712; and

[0043] At least two straightening guide posts 7182 fixedly connected to the straightening mounting base plate 7181 at equal intervals,

[0044] Among them, the two straightening guide pillars 7182 are arranged in parallel to form a guiding space between them.

[0045] Furthermore, the straightening guide column 7182 extends in the vertical direction.

[0046] 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.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 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.

[0048] 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°.

[0049] 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.

[0050] Furthermore, an arc-shaped rounded corner section 7182c is formed at the end of the tip section.

[0051] 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 .

[0052] 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.

[0053] 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.
