[0130] The secondary floating joint mechanism 3 comprises an airtight floating component 31 and a joint component 32 ; the airtight floating component 31 is connected to the floating bracket 23 ; the joint component 32 is connected to the airtight floating component 31 .
[0131] Also includes:
[0132] The limiting matching part 11 is provided with a limiting hole 111 and is fixedly connected to the main frame 1;

At the same time, the limiter 13 is inserted into the limiter hole 111, which is sensed by the first detection device 15, and a feedback signal is given to the control system, which controls each driving device to stop working to avoid injury.

[0142] There are two bearing supports 231, each of which has a groove 2311 with a side opening, and is symmetrically fixedly connected to the first support frame 22, and the side openings of the groove 2311 are arranged facing each other;
[0143] First ball bearings 232; wherein each of the grooves 2311 is provided with a plurality of the first ball bearings 232;
[0144] The sliding plate 233 is placed in the two grooves 2311 and rests on the first ball bearing 232, and is loosely matched with the groove 2311, so that the sliding plate 233 can roll on the first ball bearing 232 and can be blocked by the groove 2311 at the periphery to avoid falling off, thereby achieving first-level floating, reducing the impact of errors generated during the manufacturing and assembly processes on positioning, and improving positioning accuracy.
[0145] The transfer support 234 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 233 .
[0146] The floating positioning part 24 includes a first cylinder 241 and a positioning pin 242; the first cylinder 241 is fixedly connected to the first support frame 22, and the piston rod is arranged vertically downward; the positioning pin 242 is vertically fixedly connected to the piston rod of the first cylinder 241;
[0147] The floating positioning matching part 25 includes a fixed block 251, and the fixed block 251 is provided with a vertical positioning hole 2511; the first cylinder 241 drives the positioning pin 242 to be inserted into the vertical positioning hole 2511; in a specific embodiment, there are two of each of the first cylinder 241, the positioning pin 242 and the fixed block 251. The purpose of setting the floating positioning part 24 and the floating positioning matching part 25 is: when the first lifting device 21 drives the first support frame 22 to descend, and the initial positioning part 27 and the battery pack tooling are positioned, it is necessary to limit the floating bracket 23 first to avoid the position of the initial positioning part 27 being offset due to the movement of the floating bracket 23 before the initial positioning, and when the initial positioning part 27 is just positioned with the battery pack tooling, the first cylinder 241 drives the positioning pin 242 to disengage from the vertical positioning hole 2511, loosens the floating bracket 23, and makes the floating bracket 23 movable, adaptively adapts to manufacturing and assembly errors and deviations caused by the battery pack being transported to the predetermined position, and improves the positioning accuracy of the initial positioning. That is, when the first support frame 22 is descending and the initial positioning part 27 has not yet been positioned, the positioning pin 242 needs to be inserted into the vertical positioning hole 2511 for limiting. At other times, it needs to be disengaged to facilitate the movement of the floating bracket 23 and adapt to manufacturing and assembly errors.
[0148] The floating fixing part 26 includes at least two second cylinders 261, the two second cylinders 261 are fixedly connected to the first support frame 22, and the piston rods are vertically downwardly fixedly connected to the transfer support 234. The function of the floating fixing part 26 is: after the initial positioning is completed, the floating support 23 needs to be fixed to prevent movement and affect subsequent positioning. Therefore, the piston rods of the second cylinders 261 extend downward to pull the floating support 23 to press against the first ball bearing 232.
[0149] The initial positioning portion 27 includes:
[0150] There are two side plates 271, which are symmetrically fixedly connected to the transfer support 234;
[0151] There are two positioning members 272, which are fixedly connected to the side plates 271 in a one-to-one correspondence, and are used to position and cooperate with the matching members on the battery pack tooling; in a specific implementation, the positioning members 272 can be holes or pins, which can be selected according to the matching members on the battery pack tooling.

[0214] Set up working procedures.
[0215] The corresponding program is called in advance according to the model of the battery pack, and the PLC controls the operation of the eighth cylinder 42 and the ninth cylinder 44 to adjust the corresponding plug joint 321 and the inflation joint 322 to the predetermined position. A barcode scanning device can also be provided to scan the barcode of the battery pack to identify the model so as to call the corresponding working program, which can be selected according to needs.
[0216] Before testing, the battery pack is transported to a predetermined test position by an AGV (not shown). A tooling plate 300 is pre-set on the AGV, and a side plate positioning pin 301 is set on the tooling plate 300, which is used to stop the AGV at a predetermined position. The side plate positioning pin 301 is inserted into the hole of the positioning member 272 to achieve initial positioning, that is, to unify the position of the AGV. This can be pre-set according to actual needs; of course, in other embodiments, the battery pack can also be transported in other ways.
[0217] During the test, the PLC controls the piston rod of the first lifting device 21 to extend downward, and controls the first cylinder 241 to drive the positioning pin 242 to insert into the vertical positioning hole 2511;
[0218] When the side plate locating pin 301 above the tooling plate 300 on the AGV trolley is just inserted into the hole of the locating member 272 and is detected by the second detection device 273, a feedback signal is given to the PLC, and the PLC controls the first cylinder 241 to drive the locating pin 242 to reset and disengage from the vertical locating hole 2511;
[0219] The piston rod of the first lifting device 21 continues to descend to perform preliminary positioning; when the third detection device 276 detects that the positioning is in place, a feedback signal is given to the PLC; the PLC controls the piston rod of the second cylinder 261 to extend downward, press the sliding plate 233, and complete the initial positioning;
[0220] Next, the PLC controls the piston rod of the fourth cylinder 314 to extend, and adjusts the height of the joint assembly 32 to a predetermined position.
[0221] Then the PLC controls the piston rod of the third cylinder 312 to extend, pushing the first movable plate 313 to move, driving the connector assembly 32 and the battery pack to be plugged into a predetermined position;
[0222] Next, the PLC controls the piston rod of the fifth cylinder 3214 to extend, driving the plug 3213 to plug the air hole of the battery pack. After the fourth detection device 3215 detects that it is in place, it feeds back a signal;
[0223] On the other side, the PLC controls the piston rod of the sixth cylinder 3223 to extend, driving the airtight inflatable shell 3224, the explosion-proof nylon block 32220 and other components to be positioned and docked with the inflation hole of the battery pack. After being detected in place by the fifth detection device 32250, a feedback signal is given to the PLC. The PLC then controls the piston rods of the two seventh cylinders 32230 to extend, driving the two blocks 32240 to move toward each other synchronously and insert into the predetermined positioning grooves on the battery pack. After they are in place, the travel switch of the seventh cylinder 32230 can feedback a signal to the PLC. At this time, the magnetic part 3228 sucks out the switch of the explosion-proof valve of the battery pack, which is in an open state, and the battery pack can be inflated for an airtight test.
[0224] After the test is completed, the PLC controls each cylinder to reset.
[0225] When maintenance is required, the limit piece 13 is inserted into the limit hole 111. After the first detection device 15 detects it, a feedback signal is given to the PLC, and the PLC controls the cylinder to stop working. The PLC can also switch to manual operation mode, and the corresponding control buttons can be preset to manually enter the equipment for maintenance, which can ensure the safety of personnel.
