[0010] Optionally, the first disassembly and assembly mechanism further includes: a gripper lifting assembly, mounted on the mounting plate;

[0011] A movable plate is slidably mounted on the mounting plate in a vertical direction. The first gripper assembly and the second gripper assembly are both mounted on the movable plate. The gripper lifting assembly is used to drive the movable plate to move in a vertical direction.

[0012] Optionally, the first gripper assembly and the second gripper assembly are spaced apart along the first direction.

Detailed Implementation

[0041] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

These terms are primarily for the purpose of better describing this application and its embodiments, and are not intended to limit the indicated device, element, or component to having a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0043] Furthermore, in addition to indicating location or positional relationship, some of the aforementioned terms may also have other meanings. For example, the term "above" may also be used in some cases to indicate a certain dependency or connection relationship. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0044] like Figure 13 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, in the related technology, the tray assembly 200 includes a tray 210 and an inner liner 220, and the tray 210 and the inner liner 220 are connected by a snap fastener 230. Along the vertical direction Z, one end of the snap fastener 230 includes a first snap fastener portion 231, and the other end is integrally formed with or snap-connected to the inner liner 220. The bottom wall of the tray 210 is provided with a corresponding snap hole, and the first snap fastener portion 231 is inserted into the corresponding snap hole to realize the snap-connection of the inner liner 220 and the tray 210.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 15 As shown, the disassembly and assembly device 100 of this application embodiment includes a frame 110, a first disassembly and assembly mechanism 120 and a second disassembly and assembly mechanism 130. The frame 110 has a pallet station 111 for placing a pallet 210. The first disassembly and assembly mechanism 120 is located on the lower side of the pallet station 111 and is used to provide clamping force so that the first snap part 231 of the snap 230 is elastically deformed. The second disassembly and assembly mechanism 130 is located on the upper side of the pallet station 111 and is used to remove the inner liner 220 from the pallet 210.

[0046] Along the vertical direction Z, the first disassembly and assembly mechanism 120 is located on the upper side of the pallet station 111, and the second disassembly and assembly mechanism 130 is located on the lower side of the pallet station 111. The pallet 210 can be placed directly on the pallet station 111 by other robotic arms, or the pallet 210 can be transported to the pallet station 111 by the following conveying assembly 141. The first disassembly and assembly mechanism 120 is used to provide clamping force, that is, the first disassembly and assembly mechanism 120 clamps the first latching part 231 so that the distance between the pair of latches of the first latching part 231 narrows in the second direction Y, so that they can be disengaged from the latching holes of the pallet 210.

[0047] The disassembly and assembly device 100 using the embodiments of this application includes a first disassembly and assembly mechanism 120 and a second disassembly and assembly mechanism 130. When the pallet 210 is placed at the pallet station 111, the first disassembly and assembly mechanism 120 clamps the buckle 230 from the lower side of the pallet 210. While the first disassembly and assembly mechanism 120 clamps the first buckle 231, the second disassembly and assembly mechanism 130 grabs the inner liner 220 and drives the inner liner 220 to separate from the pallet 210, thereby enabling the inner liner 220 to be removed from the pallet 210 and realizing the automated disassembly operation of the inner liner 220 and the pallet 210.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the first disassembly and assembly mechanism 120 includes a mounting plate 121, a first drive assembly 122, and a first gripper assembly 123. The mounting plate 121 is slidably mounted on the frame 110 along the first direction X. The first drive assembly 122 is mounted on the frame 110 and is used to drive the mounting plate 121 to move along the first direction X. The first gripper assembly 123 is mounted on the mounting plate 121 and is used to clamp the buckle 230.

[0049] The first clamping jaw assembly 123 can clamp the first latching part 231 of the latch 230 to release the latching connection between the inner liner 220 and the tray 210, so that the second disassembly and assembly mechanism 130 can remove the inner liner 220.

[0050] Furthermore, the first disassembly and assembly mechanism 120 also includes a second gripper assembly 124 and a positioning detection assembly 125. The second gripper assembly 124 is mounted on the mounting plate 121 and has a gap for the buckle 230 to be inserted, so as to allow the second gripper assembly 124 to be passively opened under the action of the buckle 230. The positioning detection assembly 125 is used to detect that the second gripper assembly 124 is in position.

[0051] By setting the second gripper assembly 124 and the positioning detection assembly 125, it is possible to detect whether the first snap-fit ​​part 231 is inserted into the snap hole of the tray 210 when the inner liner 220 is installed on the tray 210, thereby ensuring that the inner liner 220 is reliably installed on the tray 210.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, specifically, the first gripper assembly 123 and the second gripper assembly 124 are arranged in pairs and configured into a gripper unit 129.

[0053] In some embodiments of this application, the first gripper assembly 123 and the second gripper assembly 124 are spaced apart along a first direction X.

[0054] With this configuration, the first drive assembly 122 drives the mounting plate 121 to move along the first direction X. This not only enables the gripper unit 129 to correspond with different inner lining parts 220, but also allows the first gripper assembly 123 and the second gripper assembly 124 to be aligned with the same buckle 230 in sequence, so as to realize the operation of disassembly and inspection of whether the installation is in place.

[0055] In other embodiments, the first gripper assembly 123 and the second gripper assembly 124 may also be spaced apart in other directions and use independent drive components to achieve alignment with the latch 230.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, the first disassembly and assembly mechanism 120 further includes a gripper lifting assembly 127 and a movable plate 126. The gripper lifting assembly 127 is mounted on the mounting plate 121, and the movable plate 126 is slidably mounted on the mounting plate 121 in the vertical direction Z. The first gripper assembly 123 and the second gripper assembly 124 are both mounted on the movable plate 126. The gripper lifting assembly 127 is used to drive the movable plate 126 to move in the vertical direction Z.

[0057] The first gripper assembly 123 and the second gripper assembly 124 rise vertically in the Z direction to approach the latch 230 for easy mounting and dismounting of the latch 230, and descend vertically in the Z direction to move away from the latch 230 to allow normal transport of the pallet 210.

[0058] As an example, the gripper lifting assembly 127 is a cylinder, which has the advantages of fast response and high reliability; in other embodiments, the gripper lifting assembly 127 may also be other forms of linear drive.

[0059] With this configuration, the first gripper assembly 123 and the second gripper assembly 124 can be raised and lowered synchronously by the gripper lifting assembly 127, simplifying the structure of the first disassembly and assembly mechanism 120.

[0060] Specifically, the first disassembly and assembly mechanism 120 also includes a connecting bracket 128, which is mounted on the mounting plate 121. The movable plate 126 is slidably mounted on the connecting bracket 128 along the vertical direction Z via a linear slide rail. Along the first direction X, the first gripper assembly 123 and the second gripper assembly 124 are respectively mounted on both sides of the movable plate 126. The gripper lifting assembly 127 and the connecting bracket 128 are respectively arranged on both sides of the movable plate 126 to make reasonable use of space. As an example, the gripper lifting assembly 127 and the second gripper assembly 124 are arranged on the same side.

[0061] In other embodiments, separate lifting components can be provided to drive the first gripper assembly 123 and the second gripper assembly 124 to move up and down in the vertical direction Z, respectively.

[0062] like Figure 13As shown, there are multiple inner lining members 220 along the first direction X. Under the drive of the first drive assembly 122, the first gripper assembly 123 can move to each inner lining member 220 and clamp the corresponding buckles 230 of the multiple inner lining members 220 in sequence.

[0063] As an example, along the first direction X, there are four inner liner pieces 220, with each pair of inner liner pieces 220 arranged in pairs to form a row of battery slots extending along the second direction Y. The length of each inner liner piece 220 extends along the second direction Y, and each inner liner piece 220 is snapped into the tray 210 by four latches 230 spaced apart along the second direction Y. Correspondingly, along the second direction Y, four gripper units 129 are spaced apart, with each gripper unit 129 corresponding to one of the latches 230.

[0064] In other embodiments, the number of inner lining pieces 220 may be two, six, eight, etc., and the number of snaps 230 for each inner lining piece 220 may be three, five, six, etc.

[0065] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the first drive assembly 122 includes a motor 1221, a lead screw 1222, and a nut. The motor 1221 is mounted on the frame 110. The lead screw 1222 extends along the first direction X in its length direction. Both ends of the lead screw 1222 are rotatably supported on the frame 110. The nut is threadedly engaged with the lead screw 1222 and is mounted on the bottom of the mounting plate 121. The motor 1221 rotates to drive the mounting plate 121 to move along the first direction X.

[0066] In other embodiments, the first drive component 122 may also be other forms of linear drive component.

[0067] In some embodiments of this application, the first gripper assembly 123 includes a first gripper drive 1231 and a pair of first grippers 1232. The pair of first grippers 1232 are disposed opposite to each other along the second direction Y at the execution end of the first gripper drive 1231. The first gripper drive 1231 is used to drive the pair of first grippers 1232 to open or clamp along the second direction Y.

[0068] The first gripper drive 1231 is mounted on the movable plate 126 to move along the vertical direction Z under the drive of the movable plate 126.

[0069] In some embodiments of this application, the first gripper drive 1231 is a finger cylinder; in other embodiments, the first gripper drive 1231 may also be other types of drive that can open or clamp a pair of first grippers 1232.

[0070] like Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the second gripper assembly 124 includes a pair of second grippers 1241 and an elastic reset member 1243. The pair of second grippers 1241 are arranged opposite each other along the second direction Y, and the middle portions of the pair of second grippers 1241 are hinged together. The elastic reset member 1243 is used to drive the pair of second grippers 1241 to clamp along the second direction Y. Two positioning detection components 125 are provided, each corresponding to one of the second grippers 1241. When the pair of second grippers 1241 are in the correct position, the pair of second grippers 1241 are electrically connected to the two positioning detection components 125.

[0071] The middle parts of a pair of second grippers 1241 are hinged together by a hinge post 1242. There is a gap W between the upper ends of the pair of second grippers 1241 for the insertion of the first latching part 231. The lower ends of the pair of second grippers 1241 are used to cooperate with the positioning detection component 125 so that the positioning detection component 125 can detect whether the pair of second grippers 1241 are open in place.

[0072] This configuration improves the reliability of the engagement between the liner 220 and the tray 210.

[0073] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the positioning detection component 125 includes a conductive element 1251 and a sliding sleeve 1252. The sliding sleeve 1252 is mounted on the movable plate 126, and the conductive element 1251 is slidably mounted on the sliding sleeve 1252 along the second direction Y. When the second gripper 1241 opens to the correct position, it abuts against one end of the conductive element 1251, pushing the conductive element 1251 outward. The other end of the conductive element 1251 pushes an external on / off switch, thereby connecting the external circuit. When the circuits corresponding to both positioning detection components 125 are connected, it is determined that a pair of second grippers 1241 are open to the correct position, that is, the first latching part 231 is correctly engaged in the tray 210. With this configuration, it is possible to detect whether the first latching part 231 is correctly engaged in the latching hole of the tray 210.

[0074] Furthermore, if one of the positioning detection components 125 achieves a conductive connection while the other does not, only one of the pair of hooks in the first latching part 231 will be fully engaged, while the other may break. In this case, it is possible to determine whether the structure of the first latching part 231 is intact.

[0075] In other embodiments, the material of the pair of second grippers 1241 may be limited to a conductive material, and the two positioning detection components 125 may each have a conductive connector. The two conductive connectors are electrically connected. When the pair of second grippers 1241 abut against the corresponding conductive connectors, the pair of second grippers 1241 and the two conductive connectors together form a passage, thereby determining that the pair of second grippers 1241 are in position.

[0076] The two ends of the elastic reset member 1243 are respectively connected to the lower middle part of a pair of second jaws 1241. The elastic reset member 1243 can be a metal spring or a gas spring, so that the gap between the upper ends of the pair of second jaws 1241 is W when the buckle 230 is not inserted.

[0077] In some embodiments of this application, the second disassembly mechanism 130 is also used to install the inner liner 220 onto the tray 210.

[0078] With this configuration, in addition to removing the inner liner 220 from the pallet 210, it is further possible to install the inner liner 220 on the pallet 210, thereby facilitating the automated replacement of the inner liner 220.

[0079] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the second disassembly and assembly mechanism 130 includes a second drive assembly 131 and a third gripper assembly 132. The third gripper assembly 132 is mounted on the execution end of the second drive assembly 131 and is used to grip the inner liner 220.

[0080] As one example, the second drive assembly 131 is a three-axis or six-axis robot; as another example, the second drive assembly 131 is capable of displacement in the vertical direction Z to fulfill the function of pulling the inner liner 220 and the tray 210, and is capable of displacement in the first direction X to fulfill the function of sequentially loading and unloading each inner liner 220. The second drive assembly 131 can be mounted on the frame 110 or can be set independently of the frame 110.

[0081] The third gripper assembly 132 includes a pair of third grippers 1321, which are opened or closed by a cylinder, and will not be described in detail here. In some embodiments of this application, multiple third gripper assemblies 132 are provided, and the multiple third gripper assemblies 132 are spaced apart along the second direction Y to jointly grip the same inner liner 220; for example, there can be four third gripper assemblies 132, or three, six, etc.

[0082] To accommodate batteries of different sizes, the inner liner 220 typically integrates multiple slots, which can be configured into slots of different sizes depending on the placement. For example, the inner liner 220 can be rotated to accommodate batteries of different sizes.

[0083] In some embodiments of this application, the second drive assembly 131 includes a rotation drive member 1311 for driving the third gripper assembly 132 to rotate about a first axis P, the first axis P extending in the vertical direction Z.

[0084] The second drive assembly 131 also includes a rotating frame 1322, which is installed on the execution end of the rotating drive member 1311. Multiple third gripper assemblies 132 are all installed on the rotating frame 1322 and rotate synchronously around the first axis P under the drive of the rotating drive member 1311.

[0085] For example, the inner liner 220 can be rotated 180° about the first axis P to replace the slot structure on the other side, thus making it suitable for a different battery specification.

[0086] The rotation drive 1311 can be a motor or other rotation drive.

[0087] like Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the disassembly and assembly device 100 further includes a conveying mechanism 140, including a conveying component 141, a positioning blocking component 142, and a lifting positioning component 143. The conveying component 141 is used to convey the pallet 210, the positioning blocking component 142 is used to stop the pallet 210 at the pallet station 111 in the conveying direction of the conveying component 141, and the lifting positioning component 143 is used to insert into the positioning hole of the pallet 210 at the pallet station 111.

[0088] This configuration allows for the reliable delivery of the pallet assembly 200 to the pallet station 111, and also enables the automated entry and exit of the pallet assembly 200 from the pallet station 111.

[0089] The conveying assembly 141 is an electric roller that conveys the pallet 210 along the second direction Y. A positioning blocking assembly 142 is located on one side of the pallet station 111 along the second direction Y, and extends after the pallet 210 reaches the pallet station 111 to prevent the pallet 210 from continuing to travel along the second direction Y. The pallet 210 has a positioning hole at its bottom. A lifting positioning assembly 143 passes through the gap in the electric roller, and its end positioning pin is inserted into the positioning hole to further precisely position the pallet 210. A first gripper assembly 123 and a second gripper assembly 124 pass through the gap in the electric roller for assembly and disassembly operations.

[0090] The positioning blocking assembly 142 is mounted on the frame 110 and is a cylinder that moves in the vertical direction Z, with a blocking element at the end; the lifting positioning assembly 143 is mounted on the frame 110 and is a cylinder that moves in the vertical direction Z, with a positioning pin at the end. The frame 110 is also provided with a pallet guide bar 144 to guide the pallet 210 to travel in the second direction Y.

[0091] like Figure 12As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the disassembly and assembly device 100 further includes a housing 150, and the frame 110, the first disassembly and assembly mechanism 120, the second disassembly and assembly mechanism 130 and the conveying mechanism 140 are all disposed inside the housing 150. The housing 150 has a feeding port 151, which corresponds to one end of the conveying assembly 141.

[0092] In this manner, the pallet 210 can be fed in through the feeding port 151, and after the automated replacement of the inner liner 220 is completed, the pallet 210 can be taken out through the feeding port 151.

[0093] This application also proposes a disassembly and assembly method, which utilizes the disassembly and assembly device 100 from this application embodiment. The disassembly and assembly method includes:

[0094] S100 disassembly steps include:

[0095] Place pallet 210 at pallet station 111;

[0096] The first disassembly mechanism 120 clamps the buckle 230 from the underside of the tray 210.

[0097] The liner 220 is removed from the top of the tray 210 using the second disassembly mechanism 130.

[0098] Specifically, the S100 disassembly steps include:

[0099] The conveying component 141 conveys the pallet 210 to the pallet station 111 along the second direction Y. The positioning blocking component 142 stops the pallet 210 at the pallet station 111. The lifting and positioning component 143 is inserted into the positioning hole of the pallet 210 to accurately position the pallet 210 at the pallet station 111.

[0100] The first drive assembly 122 drives the mounting plate 121 to move along the first direction X, so that the first gripper assembly 123 moves to below the corresponding buckle 230. The gripper lifting assembly 127 drives the first gripper assembly 123 to rise along the vertical direction Z. The first gripper assembly 123 clamps the first buckle portion 231 of the buckle 230 along the second direction Y.

[0101] The second drive assembly 131 drives the third gripper assembly 132 to move to the upper side of the corresponding inner liner 220, grips the inner liner 220 and removes the inner liner 220 from the tray 210 in the vertical direction Z.

[0102] Due to the characteristics of the disassembly and assembly device 100 of this application embodiment, the disassembly operation of the inner liner 220 can be automated.

[0103] In some embodiments of this application, the disassembly and assembly method further includes an S200 installation step, comprising:

[0104] The inner liner 220 is installed onto the tray 210 using the second disassembly and assembly mechanism 130.

[0105] Check whether the clip 230 is engaged with the tray 210.

[0106] Due to the characteristics of the disassembly and assembly device 100 of this application embodiment, the installation of the inner liner 220 can be automated.

[0107] Specifically, the S200 installation steps include:

[0108] The third gripper assembly 132 grips the inner liner 220, and the second drive assembly 131 drives the third gripper assembly 132 to move to the upper side of the corresponding installation position of the inner liner 220, and descends in the vertical direction Z to snap the buckle 230 on the lower side of the inner liner 220 into the buckle hole of the tray 210.

[0109] The first snap-fit ​​part 231 is inserted into the gap W between a pair of second grippers 1241. The second grippers 1241 open so that the circuit corresponding to the positioning detection component 125 forms a circuit, and it is determined that the snap-fit ​​230 is installed in place, that is, the inner liner 220 is successfully snap-fitted to the tray 210.

[0110] In some embodiments of this application, an S300 flipping step is further included between the S100 disassembly step and the S200 installation step, including:

[0111] The inner liner 220 is flipped over using the second disassembly mechanism 130.

[0112] Specifically, the S300 flipping process includes:

[0113] The rotation drive 1311 drives the third gripper assembly 132 to rotate 180° around the first axis P, so that the slot structure on the other side of the inner liner 220 is used to form the battery slot.

[0114] Using the disassembly and assembly device 100 of this application embodiment, the snap-fit ​​connection between the inner liner 220 and the tray 210 can be separated or combined to replace the inner liner 220 of the tray 210, thereby realizing the automated operation of disassembling and replacing the inner liner 220.

[0115] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
