[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry, electric vehicles have gradually entered the public eye. Electric vehicles do not require gasoline; they only need to be charged to operate, which greatly reduces operating costs. As people's demand for electric vehicles increases, higher requirements are being placed on their production efficiency. The battery pack is the core component of an electric vehicle, and its assembly is the most crucial step in electric vehicle production. During assembly, a gripping device is used to place the battery pack onto a pallet, which is then moved to its installation position via a conveyor line.

[0003] In the prior art, the gripping device consists of a suspension, a clamping arm, and a controller. The clamping arm is located below the suspension, and the suspension is equipped with a hydraulic drive rod that can extend and retract the clamping arm. The controller controls the clamping arm to grip the battery pack. Since there are two clamping arms and no support plate at the bottom of the clamping arms, they lack stability when gripping objects, causing the objects to slip. Since the battery pack is not heavy, it is particularly easy for the battery pack to fall. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention clearer and easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the present invention provides a battery pack conveyor line, including: a lifting and walking device and a battery pack gripping device, wherein the output end of the lifting and walking device is connected to the battery pack gripping device; The battery pack gripping device includes: a gripper bracket 1, a first robotic arm 2, a second robotic arm 3, and an opening and closing drive mechanism 4; The gripper bracket 1 includes: a frame 11, a first slide rail 12, a second slide rail 13, and a tray 14. The first slide rail 12 is mounted on the frame 11 and is located in the X direction. The frame 11 is provided with the second slide rail 13, which is located in the Z direction. The second slide rail 13 guides the tray 14 to slide. The tray 14 is mounted on an external suspension device to facilitate the movement of the first robotic arm 2 and the second robotic arm 3 in the X and Z directions to align with the gripping position of the battery pack. The first slide rail 12 guides the first robotic arm 2 and the second robotic arm 3 to move. An opening and closing drive mechanism 4 is installed on the frame 11. The opening and closing drive mechanism 4 is used to drive the first robotic arm 2 and the second robotic arm 3 to close or separate from each other. Both the first robotic arm 2 and the second robotic arm 3 include: a positioning mechanism 21, a movable frame 22, a fixed support foot 23, a movable support foot 24, and a support foot drive mechanism 25. The first slide rail 12 guides the movable frame 22 to slide. The positioning mechanism 21 is installed on the movable frame 22. The positioning mechanism 21 is used to position the battery pack. The fixed support foot 23 and the movable support foot 24 are installed on the movable frame 22. The movable support foot 24 can move relative to the fixed support foot 23 in the Z direction. The support foot drive mechanism 25 is installed on the movable frame 22. The output end of the support foot drive mechanism 25 is connected to the movable support foot 24. The fixed support foot 23 and the movable support foot 24 support the battery pack.

[0029] The positioning mechanism 21 includes: a boom beam 211, a positioning telescopic assembly 212, a first cylinder 213, a cylinder piston fixing block 214, and a cylinder piston connecting shaft 215. The boom beam 211 is located in the middle of the moving frame 22. The first cylinder 213 is mounted on the side of the boom beam 211. The output end of the first cylinder 213 is provided with a cylinder piston fixing block 214. The cylinder piston connecting shaft 215 is connected below the cylinder piston fixing block 214. The lower end of the cylinder piston connecting shaft 215 is connected to the positioning telescopic assembly 212. The first cylinder 213 can drive the positioning telescopic assembly to align with the positioning hole on the battery pack in the horizontal direction. Because the position of the battery pack relative to the first robot arm may change after the battery pack is placed on the first robot arm and the second robot arm, the first cylinder 213 is set to drive the positioning telescopic assembly 212 to change position to align with the positioning hole on the battery pack.

[0030] The positioning telescopic assembly 212 includes: a floating sleeve 2121, a floating head 2122, a spring pin connecting sleeve 2123, a spring pin sleeve 2124, a spring pin retractable tube 2125, a guide structure 2126, and a positioning pin 2127. The floating sleeve 2121 is connected to the cylinder piston connecting shaft 215. The floating sleeve 2121 has a cavity, and the floating head 2122 extends into the cavity. There is a gap between the floating head 2122 and the inner wall of the cavity. The bottom of the floating head 2122 is connected to the spring pin connecting sleeve 2123. The bottom of the spring pin connecting sleeve 2123 is connected to the cavity wall. A spring pin sleeve 2124 is connected, and a spring pin retractable tube 2125 is provided inside the spring pin sleeve 2124. The inner cavity of the spring pin sleeve 2124 and the inner cavity of the spring pin retractable tube 2125 are connected to form an air chamber, which is connected to an external gas compressor. The end of the spring pin retractable tube 2125 away from the spring pin sleeve is fixed to the positioning pin 2127. The spring pin retractable tube 2125 is elastic, and its end is blocked by the positioning pin 2127. A guide structure 2126 is connected between the positioning pin 2127 and the floating head 2122. During operation, after the first cylinder 213 drives the positioning telescopic component 212 to align with the battery pack, firstly, the external gas compressor controls the change in air pressure in the air chamber; then, the spring pin retractable tube 2125 deforms and extends, causing the positioning pin 2127 to extend into the positioning hole of the battery pack, thus achieving positioning. In this application, a cavity is provided in the floating sleeve 2121, and the floating head 2122 cannot fill the cavity. When the positioning pin 2127 is inserted into the battery pack positioning hole, it is very likely that the axis of the positioning pin 2127 and the axis of the battery pack positioning hole cannot be precisely aligned. Therefore, the cavity in the floating sleeve 2121 and the floating head 2122 are designed to cooperate, so that the floating head 2122 can be offset to a certain extent during positioning, and finally the positioning pin 2127 is inserted into the battery pack positioning hole. This avoids the phenomenon that the positioning pin 2127 cannot be inserted into the battery pack positioning hole when the axis of the positioning pin 2127 is offset from the axis of the battery pack positioning hole. The positioning function of the positioning pin can be realized.

[0031] The guide structure 2126 includes a guide cylinder and a guide rod. One end of the guide cylinder is fixed to the floating head 2122, and the other end of the guide cylinder is into which one end of the guide rod extends. The other end of the guide rod is fixed to the positioning pin 2127. The positioning pin 2127 can be fixedly installed in the spring pin inner tube 2125 through the guide structure 2126 to prevent the positioning pin 2127 from shifting arbitrarily relative to the floating head.

[0032] The opening and closing drive mechanism 4 includes: an opening and closing drive motor 41, a first lead screw 42, a first reducer 43, a coupling 44, and a positioning pin 2127 transmission plate. The opening and closing drive motor 41 is installed below the tray 14. The output end of the opening and closing drive motor 41 is connected to the input end of the first reducer 43. The output end of the first reducer 43 is connected to the coupling 44. The two ends of the coupling 44 are respectively connected to the first lead screw 42. The first lead screw 42 is threadedly connected to the positioning pin 2127 transmission plate. The positioning pin 2127 transmission plate is connected to the moving frame 22. The end of the first lead screw 42 is hinged to the support end bearing seat. The support end bearing seat is fixed to the frame 11. The opening and closing drive mechanism 4 can move the two robotic arms in the X direction to control the gripping and lowering of the robotic arms.

[0033] The support foot drive mechanism 25 includes: a second cylinder 251, a telescopic arm 252 and a third slide rail 253. The second cylinder 251 is mounted on the movable frame 22. The piston rod of the second cylinder 251 is connected to the telescopic arm 252. The telescopic arm 252 is connected to the movable support foot 24. The movable support foot 24 is slidably connected to the slide rail.

[0034] The bottom of the movable support leg 24 and the fixed support leg 23 is provided with a battery pack tray 14, which is used to support the battery pack.

[0035] The lifting and walking device includes: a mounting frame 5, a lifting drive mechanism 6, a sliding mechanism 7, and a guide rail; the mounting frame 5 is located below the ceiling of the factory building, the guide rail is laid on the ceiling of the factory building, and a rack 81 is provided at the bottom of the guide rail; the lifting drive mechanism 6 includes: a servo motor 61, a transmission mechanism 62, and a rotary telescopic mechanism 63. The servo motor 61 is mounted on one side of the mounting frame 5, the output end of the servo motor 61 is connected to the transmission mechanism 62, the transmission mechanism 62 is connected to the rotary telescopic mechanism 63, the output end of the rotary telescopic mechanism 63 is connected to the robot arm, and the rotary telescopic mechanism 63 is used to lift the robot arm. The sliding mechanism 7 includes: a pulley block 71, a rotary motor 72, and a drive gear 73. There are four pulley blocks 71, which are respectively installed at the four corners of the mounting frame 5. The pulley blocks 71 are equipped with pulleys, which are slidably connected to the guide rail. The rotary motor 72 is located on one side of the mounting frame 5. The output end of the rotary motor 72 is equipped with a drive gear 73, which meshes with the rack 81. When the rotary motor 72 is started, the rotary motor 72 can drive the drive gear 73 to rotate. The drive gear, by meshing with the rack 81, can make the device move horizontally along the rack direction.

[0036] A suspension support mechanism 51 is mounted on the mounting bracket 5. The suspension support mechanism 51 includes: a suspension bearing seat 511, a shoulder sleeve 512, a thrust ball bearing 513, a washer 514, and a first nut 515. The suspension bearing seat 511 is fixed on the mounting bracket 5. The shoulder sleeve 512 is mounted on the top of the rotary telescopic mechanism 63. The shoulder sleeve 512, the thrust ball bearing 513, the washer 514, and the first nut 515 are all passed through by the rotary telescopic mechanism 63. The thrust ball bearing 513 is located above the shoulder sleeve 512. The thrust ball bearing 513 is... Washer 514 is pressed onto shoulder sleeve 512, and first nut 515 presses washer 514 onto thrust ball bearing 513. After suspension bearing seat 511 is fixed to mounting bracket 5, thrust ball bearing 513 is locked onto suspension bearing seat 511 by tightening the nut. Suspension bearing seat 511 supports thrust ball bearing 513. Because rotary telescopic mechanism 63 extends into thrust ball bearing 513, rotary telescopic mechanism 63 can rotate relative to suspension bearing seat 511. Suspension support mechanism 51 serves to support rotary telescopic mechanism 63. The bottom end of rotary telescopic mechanism 63 is used to install gripper bracket 1.

[0037] The rotary telescopic mechanism 63 includes: a telescopic guide cylinder 631, a telescopic rod 632, and a second lead screw 633. The telescopic guide cylinder 631 is mounted on the mounting bracket 5. The telescopic rod 632 is slidably connected inside the telescopic guide cylinder 631. One end of the telescopic rod 632 is provided with a screw hole for connecting to an external robotic arm. The second lead screw 633 is threadedly connected inside the cavity of the telescopic rod 632. One end of the second lead screw 633 is fixed with a first transmission gear 634, which is connected to the transmission mechanism 62. When the rotary telescopic mechanism 63 is running, the second lead screw 633 rotates inside the telescopic guide cylinder 631. The telescopic guide cylinder 631 can position the second lead screw 633, and the second lead screw 633 will not deviate during rotation.

[0038] The top of the second lead screw 633 passes through the suspension bearing seat 511, shoulder sleeve 512, thrust ball bearing 513, washer 514, and first nut 515. A step is formed at the top of the second lead screw 633, and the shoulder sleeve 512 is pressed tightly onto the step by the thrust ball bearing 513. This strengthens the fixation of the second lead screw 633 on the suspension bearing seat 511, preventing it from being dragged or displaced by the object being lifted during rotation and lifting. This provides strong suspension support for the second lead screw 633 and allows for smooth rotation.

[0039] The telescopic rod 632 includes: a sliding sleeve 6321, a mounting sleeve 6322, a telescopic cylinder 6323, a connecting rod 6324, and a second nut 6325. Both the sliding sleeve 6321 and the mounting sleeve 6322 have a T-shaped structure. The small end of the sliding sleeve 6321 is surrounded by one end of the telescopic cylinder 6323, and the small end of the mounting sleeve 6322 is surrounded by the other end of the telescopic cylinder 6323. The telescopic cylinder 6323 is clamped between the sliding sleeve 6321 and the mounting sleeve 6322. Both the sliding sleeve 6321 and the mounting sleeve 6322 are passed through by the connecting rod 6324. The two ends of the connecting rod 6324 are threaded with the second nuts 6325. The two second nuts 6325 clamp the sliding sleeve 6321 and the mounting sleeve 6322. The sliding sleeve 6321 is threadedly connected to the second lead screw 633. The mounting sleeve 6322 has a threaded hole. The telescopic rod 632 is used to connect to the lower robotic arm. The telescopic rod 632 is connected to the second lead screw 633 through its sliding sleeve 6321. When the second lead screw 633 rotates, the telescopic rod 632 can move relative to the second lead screw 633, thereby achieving the telescopic effect of the robotic arm lifting and walking device.

[0040] The transmission mechanism 62 includes a connecting plate 621, a second transmission gear 623, and a second reducer 622. The servo motor 61 is connected to the input end of the second reducer 622 via the connecting plate 621. The output end of the second reducer 622 is equipped with the second transmission gear 623, which meshes with the first transmission gear 634. When the connecting plate 621 rotates, it drives the second transmission gear 623 and the first transmission gear to rotate, thereby rotating the second lead screw inside the telescopic rod 632, thus enabling the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 632. Both the second transmission gear 623 and the first transmission gear are bevel gears. A U-shaped rod 92 is installed on one side of the mounting bracket 5, and a drag chain 91 is hung at one end of the U-shaped rod 92. The drag chain 91 is used for sliding guidance of the mounting bracket 5.
