Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of battery production, in particular to an automatic boxing device and boxing method for battery production. BACKGROUND

[0002] The battery is a device for directly converting chemical energy into electrical energy. In the processing process, different numbers of batteries are respectively loaded into packaging boxes to complete the packaging and conveying of the batteries.

[0003] The existing device performs battery clamping and boxing through a single station. When the material stagnates in the single assembly line after boxing, the gripper needs to wait for the material flow to pass before continuing to run, which is low in overall work efficiency. Meanwhile, the packaging box is basically attached to the filled battery. In the filling process, if the gap between the adjacent batteries is too large during clamping, the clamped battery cannot be loaded into the packaging box, which needs to be adjusted manually. In addition, during the boxing, the clamping part cannot completely enter the packaging box, so the battery needs to be lowered at a certain height. The direct falling of the battery can easily cause hard collision with the bottom transmission roller and other structures, resulting in damage to the battery. SUMMARY
