Specifically, referring to Figure 3 As shown, a working station 110 may be provided on the outer peripheral wall of the main turret 100. There may be multiple working stations 110, and the multiple working stations 110 may be evenly distributed on the outer peripheral wall of the main turret 100. Correspondingly, a clamping device 300 may be arranged in each working station 110, so that the main turret 100 drives the clamping device 300 to rotate circumferentially along the main turret 100. The guiding component 200 may be arranged along the circumferential direction of the main turret 100. Specifically, the guiding component 200 may include a first guide rail 211 and a second guide rail 221 arranged along the circumferential direction of the main turret 100, and the first guide rail 211 and the second guide rail 221 may extend in a curved manner. In this embodiment, the second guide rail 221 may be arranged inside the turret, while the first guide rail 211 may be arranged at a certain distance from the edge of the turret.

[0065] Referring to Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the clamping device 300 may include a fixed seat 320, a stretching plate 330, and a flipping component 340. The stretching plate 330 may be slidably connected to the fixed seat 320. In this embodiment, the fixed seat 320 may be fixed, and the stretching plate 330 may slide relative to the fixed seat 320, so as to change the positional relationship between the two. The fixed seat 320 is provided with a receiving groove 323 capable of fixing the housing 20, and the stretching plate 330 is provided with a fixing member 331 capable of clamping the battery cell 30. It can be understood that, referring to Figure 14 As shown, the stretching plate 330 may drive the fixing member 331 to slide in a direction away from the fixed seat 320, so as to provide sufficient accommodation space for the battery cell 30. The stretching plate 330 may drive the fixing member 331 clamping the battery cell 30 to slide in a direction close to the fixed seat 320, so as to place the battery cell 30 into the inner cavity of the housing 20 in the receiving groove 323.

[0066] Referring to Figure 13 、 Figure 14 and Figure 15As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, a first driving member 332 may be provided at one end of the stretching plate 330 facing the turret. The first driving member 332 may be in rolling connection with the first guide rail 211, that is, the first driving member 332 may move along the first guide rail 211 to drive the stretching plate 330 to move toward or away from the fixed seat 320 in the height direction, thereby driving the battery cell 30 to move into the inner cavity of the housing 20 through the fixing member 331. In this embodiment, the first guide rail 211 may be bent and extended, that is, the first guide rail 211 may have track surfaces with different heights. It can be understood that when the first driving member 332 moves along the first guide rail 211, it can enter the track surfaces with different heights, so as to drive the stretching plate 330 to rise or fall in the height direction, and then change the relative distance between the stretching plate 330 and the fixed seat 320, so that the stretching plate 330 can drive the fixing member 331 to slide toward or away from the fixed seat 320.

[0067] Refer to Figure 13 and Figure 15 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the flipping assembly 340 may include a driving wheel 341 and a second driving member 342 connected to each other. A connecting shaft 324 may be provided at one end of the fixed seat 320 facing away from the fixing groove 611. The connecting shaft 324 is fixedly connected to the fixed seat 320, and the driving wheel 341 is connected to the connecting shaft 324. Specifically, the driving wheel 341 may be sleeved on the end of the connecting shaft 324, or the transmission connection between the two may be realized through a transmission member, and this embodiment does not limit this. The second driving member 342 can move along the second guide rail 221 to drive the driving wheel 341 and the connecting shaft 324 to rotate and drive the fixed seat 320 and the stretching plate 330 to flip; in this embodiment, the second guide rail 221 may be bent and extended, that is, the second guide rail 221 may have track surfaces with different heights. It can be understood that when the second driving member 342 moves along the second guide rail 221, it can enter the track surfaces with different heights, so as to drive the driving wheel 341 to rotate, and then drive the fixed seat 320 to rotate through the connecting shaft 324, realizing the flipping of the housing 20.

[0068] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the transmission assembly 2000 includes a first feeding mechanism 500, a second feeding mechanism 600 and a discharging mechanism 700. The first feeding mechanism 500, the second feeding mechanism 600 and the discharging mechanism 700 may be sequentially arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the main turret 100. It can be understood that the position corresponding to the first feeding mechanism 500 in the main turret 100 may be the starting position for completing battery assembly. Therefore, the second feeding mechanism 600 and the discharging mechanism 700 may be sequentially arranged along the rotation direction of the turret.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first feeding mechanism 500 may be used to transfer the housing 20 and place the housing 20 into the receiving groove 323. Refer toFigure 6 As shown, the first loading mechanism 500 may include a first turret 510, a second turret 520, and a third turret 530. The first turret 510 may be provided with a plurality of sleeves 511 capable of loading the housing 20. The plurality of sleeves 511 may be spaced apart along the circumference of the first turret 510. In this embodiment, a worker may manually place the housing 20 into the sleeves 511, or the housing 20 may be placed into the sleeves 511 using a transfer device such as a robot or a conveyor belt, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0070] Reference Figure 6 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the second turret 520 can be disposed on one side of the first turret 510. The second turret 520 is provided with a plurality of first adsorption members 521 capable of adsorbing the housing 20. The plurality of first adsorption members 521 are spaced apart along the circumference of the second turret 520. In this embodiment, when the sleeve 511 loaded with the housing 20 rotates to a position opposite the second turret 520 under the action of the first turret 510, the first adsorption members 521 can adsorb the housing 20 on the sleeve 511, causing the housing 20 to detach from the sleeve 511 and rotate with the second turret 520. Specifically, the first adsorption members 521 can be provided with magnets to achieve adsorption of the housing 20.

In this embodiment, when the first adsorption member 521 adsorbed with the shell 20 rotates to a position relative to the third turret 530 under the action of the second turret 520, the second adsorption member 531 can adsorb the shell 20 on the first adsorption member 521, and make the shell 20 detach from the first adsorption member 521 and rotate with the third turret 530. Specifically, the second adsorption member 531 can be provided with a magnet to achieve adsorption of the shell 20. Refer to Figure 2 As shown, when the second adsorption member 531 adsorbed with the shell 20 rotates to a position opposite to the main turret 100 , the shell 20 can be placed in the receiving groove 323 .

[0072] Reference Figure 7As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the second loading mechanism 600 includes a fourth turret 610. It should be noted that the battery cell 30 is usually fixed on the carrier 40 when not assembled into the shell 20, and the carrier 40 of the battery cell 30 is often provided with a card slot. Based on this, the fourth turret 610 can be provided with a plurality of fixing slots 611 that can be engaged with the carrier. The plurality of fixing slots 611 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the fourth turret 610. The carrier 40 can be fixed on the fourth turret 610 and rotate with the fourth turret 610 through the cooperation of the card slots and the fixing slots 611. Figure 2 As shown, when the fixing slot 611 rotates to a position opposite to the turret, the fixing member 331 on the stretching plate 330 can absorb the battery cell 30 so that it is separated from the fourth turret 610 and rotates with the main turret 100 .

[0073] Reference Figure 8 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the unloading mechanism 700 may include a fifth turret 710, which is provided with a plurality of third adsorption members 711 capable of adsorbing batteries. The plurality of third adsorption members 711 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the fifth turret 710, and the third adsorption members 711 are capable of removing the assembled batteries from the accommodating groove 323. In this embodiment, when the fixing member 331 adsorbing the assembled batteries rotates to a position relative to the fifth turret 710, the third adsorption member 711 can adsorb the batteries on the fixing member 331, and cause the batteries to detach from the fixing member 331 and rotate with the fifth turret 710, thereby achieving battery unloading. Specifically, the third adsorption member 711 can be provided with a magnet to achieve adsorption to the housing 20.

[0074] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the guiding component 200 further includes a third guide rail 231 arranged circumferentially along the main turret 100, and the first guide rail 211 and the third guide rail 231 are respectively arranged on both sides of the main turret 100. The clamping device 300 can have a forward state and a reverse state. When the clamping device 300 is in the forward state, the fixing member 331 is located above the fixing seat 320. When the clamping device 300 is in the reverse state, the fixing member 331 is located below the fixing seat 320. In the height direction, the first guide rail 211 is higher than the third guide rail 231. The first guide rail 211 has a first end 212 and a second end 213. The first end 212 is the entrance of the first guide rail 211, and the second end 213 is the exit of the first guide rail 211. The first end 212 and the second end 213 have the same height. In this embodiment, the first end 212 of the first guide rail 211 first extends obliquely upward and then obliquely downward to the second end 213 to form the first guide rail 211. Therefore, when the clamping device 300 is in the forward state and the first driving member 332 moves on the first guide rail 211, the first driving member 332 can drive the stretching plate 330 to first move up to the highest point and then move down to the original height, that is, the first driving member 332 can drive the stretching plate 330 to rise away from the fixing seat 320 and then drive the stretching plate 330 to descend close to the fixing seat 320.

[0075] Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the third guide rail 231 has a third end 232 and a fourth end 233. The third end 232 is the entrance of the third guide rail 231, and the fourth end 233 is the exit of the third guide rail 231. The third end 232 and the fourth end 233 have the same height. In this embodiment, the third end 232 of the third guide rail 231 first extends obliquely downward and then obliquely upward to the fourth end 233 to form the third guide rail 231. Therefore, when the clamping device 300 is in the forward state and the first driving member 332 moves on the third guide rail 231, the first driving member 332 can drive the stretching plate 330 to first move down to the lowest point and then move up to the original height, that is, the first driving member 332 can drive the stretching plate 330 to descend away from the fixing seat 320 and then drive the stretching plate 330 to rise close to the fixing seat 320.

[0076] Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first bending section 222 and the second bending section 223 are connecting sections of track surfaces at different heights in the second track 3431. Therefore, when the second driving member 342 moves along the first bending section 222 or the second bending section 223, it can switch to track surfaces at different heights. Specifically, the first bending section 222 can extend obliquely downward, and the second bending section 223 can extend obliquely upward. When the second driving member 342 moves along the first bending section 222, it can drive the fixed seat 320 and the stretching plate 330 to flip so that the clamping device 300 switches from the forward state to the reverse state; when the second driving member 342 can move along the second bending section 223 and drive the fixed seat 320 and the stretching plate 330 to flip so that the clamping device 300 switches from the reverse state to the forward state.

[0077] Referring to Figure 13 and Figure 15 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the second driving member 342 can move along the tangent direction of the driving wheel 341 to drive the driving wheel 341 to rotate. Specifically, the outer peripheral wall of the driving wheel 341 can be provided with teeth 3411, the second driving member 342 can include a rod body 3424 and a second driving roller 3423, the second driving roller 3423 can be in rolling connection with the second guide rail 221, the rod body 3424 can extend in the height direction, and a rack 3421 meshing with the teeth 3411 can be provided at the end of the rod body 3424. When the second driving roller 3423 moves along the first bending section 222, it can pull the rod body 3424 to move downward, and then drive the driving wheel 341 to rotate through the rack 3421, so that the fixed seat 320 and the stretching plate 330 flip, and the clamping device 300 flips from the forward state to the reverse state. When the second driving roller 3423 moves along the second bending section 223, it can pull the rod body 3424 to move upward, and then drive the driving wheel 341 to rotate through the rack 3421, so that the fixed seat 320 and the stretching plate 330 flip, and the clamping device 300 flips from the reverse state to the forward state.

[0078] It should be noted that since the clamping device 300 needs to switch from the forward state to the reverse state to enter the second guide rail 221 after the first driving member 332 leaves the first guide rail 211, the first bending section 222 is provided between the second end 213 and the third end 232. Similarly, since the clamping device 300 needs to switch from the reverse state to the forward state to enter the first guide rail 211 after the first driving member 332 leaves the second guide rail 221, the second bending section 223 is located between the fourth end 233 and the first end 212.

[0079] Referring to Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the fixing base 320 may include a first limiting member 321 and a second limiting member 322. The first limiting member 321 and the second limiting member 322 can define a receiving groove 323. Among them, the first limiting member 321 may be provided with an opening 3211, and the diameter of the opening 3211 may be smaller than the diameter of the housing 20 and larger than the diameter of the battery cell 30. Thus, both ends of the housing 20 can respectively abut against the first limiting member 321 and the second limiting member 322. At the same time, the inner cavity of the housing 20 can communicate with the opening 3211, so that the stretching plate 330 can drive the fixing member 331 to move in the height direction, and thus the battery cell 30 can enter the inner cavity of the housing 20 through the opening 3211.

[0080] It can be understood that, in order to place the housing 20 into the receiving groove 323, referring to Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the first limiting member 321 can move relative to the second limiting member 322, so as to change the distance between the two. Specifically, the clamping device 300 may further include a trigger member 360, and the trigger member 360 is connected to the first limiting member 321. Referring to Figure 4 As shown, the guiding assembly 200 further includes a fourth guide rail 240 arranged circumferentially along the main turret 100. The fourth guide rail 240 is provided on the side of the first guide rail 211 away from the main turret 100 and is located between the first end 212 and the second end 213. The trigger member 360 can move along the fourth guide rail 240 to drive the first limiting member 321 to move in a direction away from the second limiting member 322. In this embodiment, the height of the fourth guide rail 240 is higher than the height of the trigger member 360 when the clamping device 300 is in the forward state. Therefore, when the trigger member 360 enters the fourth guide rail 240, the fourth guide rail 240 can squeeze the trigger member 360 and drive the trigger member 360 to move upward, and further drive the first limiting member 321 to move upward, increasing the distance between the first limiting member 321 and the second limiting member 322, so that the housing 20 has enough space to enter the receiving groove 323. When the trigger member 360 leaves the fourth guide rail 240, the trigger member 360 can move downward to reset and drive the first limiting member 321 to move downward, so that the first limiting member 321 and the second limiting member 322 can jointly clamp the housing 20. In this embodiment, a connecting member 361 is provided between the trigger member 360 and the first limiting member 321. The connecting member 361 passes through the fixing portion 325, and both ends are respectively fixedly connected to the trigger member 360 and the first limiting member 321. When the trigger member 360 moves upward, it can drive the first limiting member 321 to move upward away from the second limiting member 322. When the trigger member 360 moves downward, it can drive the first limiting member 321 to move downward away from the second limiting member 322.

[0081] Referring to Figure 13 and Figure 15As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the trigger member 360 may include a trigger roller 362, and a guiding inclined surface 241 for guiding the trigger roller 362 into the fourth guide rail 240 is provided at an end of the fourth guide rail 240. Specifically, the guiding inclined surface 241 may be provided at an inlet end of the fourth guide rail 240, and the guiding inclined surface 241 may be offset upward along the moving direction of the trigger roller 362, thereby reducing the difficulty for the trigger roller 362 to enter the fourth guide rail 240.

[0082] Referring to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the battery assembly component 1000 may further include a base 400. The main turret 100 is rotatably connected to the base 400. The guiding component 200 further includes a first guiding plate 210, a second guiding plate 220, and a third guiding plate 230. A first guide rail 211 is provided on the first guiding plate 210, a second guide rail 221 is provided on the second guiding plate 220, and a third guide rail 231 is provided on the third guiding plate 230. The first guiding plate 210, the second guiding plate 220, and the third guiding plate 230 are respectively fixedly connected to the base 400. The second guiding plate 220 is provided between the clamping device 300 and the main turret 100. The fourth guide rail 240 is provided on a side of the clamping device 300 facing away from the main turret 100 and is fixedly connected to the base 400.

[0083] Referring to Figure 13 、 Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the clamping device 300 may further include a sliding component 310. Among them, the sliding component 310 may include a first slider 311, a second slider 312, and a first track 313. The first slider 311 and the second slider 312 are respectively slidably connected to the first track 313. The first track 313 may extend along the height direction of the turret. The fixed seat 320 may be fixedly connected to the first slider 311. The stretching plate 330 may be fixedly connected to the second slider 312. The stretching plate 330 may slide along the first track 313 through the second slider 312, thereby realizing the movement of the stretching plate 330 relative to the fixed seat 320. And the setting of the first guide rail 211 can improve the accuracy of the moving direction of the stretching plate 330. In this embodiment, the first track 313 may include a first guiding portion 3131 and a second guiding portion 3132 that are connected to each other and parallel to each other. The first slider 311 may be slidably connected to the first guiding portion 3131, and the second slider 312 may be slidably connected to the second guiding portion 3132. In this embodiment, there may be two first tracks 313, and the two first tracks 313 are respectively provided on both sides of the fixed seat 320, greatly improving the sliding stability of the stretching plate 330.

[0084] Referring to Figure 13 、 Figure 14 and Figure 15As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the clamping device 300 further includes a substrate 350. The substrate 350 is also provided with a through hole 353, and the connecting shaft 324 passes through the through hole 353. The substrate 350 is provided with a first guiding groove 351 extending upward in the height direction and a second guiding groove 352 extending downward in the height direction. The first guiding groove 351 is provided with a first opening 3511 suitable for the first driving member 332 to enter and exit, and the second guiding groove 352 is provided with a second opening 3522 suitable for the first driving member 332 to enter and exit, and the second opening 3522 and the first opening 3511 are located on the same side. When the first driving member 332 moves along the first guide rail 211, that is, when the clamping device 300 is in the forward state, it can slide along the first guiding groove 351. When the first driving member 332 moves along the third guide rail 231, that is, when the clamping device 300 is in the reverse state, it can slide along the second guiding groove 352. When the second driving member 342 drives the fixed seat 320 and the stretching plate 330 to flip, the first driving member 332 can leave the first guiding groove 351 through the first opening 3511 and enter the second guiding groove 352 through the second opening 3522, or leave the second guiding groove 352 through the second opening 3522 and enter the first guiding groove 351 through the first opening 3511. Specifically, when the clamping device 300 switches from the forward state to the reverse state, the first driving member 332 can leave the first guiding groove 351 from the first opening 3511 and enter the second guiding groove 352 from the second opening 3522 after following the stretching plate 330 to flip. Conversely, when the clamping device 300 switches from the reverse state to the forward state, the first driving member 332 can leave the second guiding groove 352 from the second opening 3522 and enter the first guiding groove 351 from the first opening 3511 after following the stretching plate 330 to flip.

[0085] Referring to Figure 13 、 Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the flipping assembly 340 further includes a fixing plate 343.

The rod body 3424 of the second driving member 342 can be provided with a third slider 3422 slidably connected to the second track 3431. The sliding fit of the third slider 3422 on the second track 3431 can greatly improve the direction accuracy when the second driving member 342 moves.

[0086] Referring to Figure 13 、 Figure 14 and Figure 15As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, stoppers 354 are respectively provided at both ends of the substrate 350. The stoppers 354 are fixedly connected to the substrate 350 and extend toward the side of the fixed seat 320. The stoppers 354 can abut against the fixing member 331, thereby stopping the fixing member 331 from continuing to move along the first guiding groove 351 or the second guiding groove 352, ensuring that the height of each upward movement of the fixing member 331 is uniform. In the embodiment of the present invention, an abutting portion 3133 is provided at one end of the first rail 313 facing the first limiting member 321. The fixing member 331 is provided with a stopping member 3311 that can abut against the abutting portion 3133. When the fixing member 331 and the abutting portion 3133 abut, the first limiting member 321 can be stopped from approaching the second limiting member 322, thereby ensuring that the height of each downward movement of the stretching plate 330 is uniform.

[0087] Referring to Figure 13 、 Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, the fixed seat 320 includes a fixing portion 325 and a connecting portion 326.
