Description

Battery transfer methods, apparatus, computer equipment, media and program products Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to a battery transfer method, apparatus, computer equipment, medium, and program product. Background Technology

[0002] Battery testing is a crucial step in the battery production process.

[0003] Related technologies and battery testing involve a wide variety of testing procedures and types, such as short-term testing, long-term testing, and cycle testing. This means that batteries often need to be transferred to different storage areas during the testing process.

[0004] However, the relevant technology suffers from low battery transfer efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a battery transfer method, apparatus, computer equipment, medium, and program product that can improve battery transfer efficiency in response to the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a battery transfer method, the method comprising:

[0007] In response to the transfer instruction of the target battery, the target battery is placed in the transfer tray; the transfer tray is used to hold multiple batteries of different specifications;

[0008] The target battery is transferred using a transfer tray.

[0009] In this embodiment, in response to a transfer command for the target battery, the target battery is placed in a transfer tray, and then transferred using the transfer tray. The transfer tray is used to hold multiple batteries of different specifications. When transferring batteries using the transfer tray, multiple batteries can be placed on it simultaneously, improving transfer efficiency. Furthermore, since the transfer tray can hold multiple batteries of different specifications, filling the space within it for a single transfer fully utilizes the tray's space, increasing its space utilization and reducing the number of battery transfers. Additionally, transferring batteries using the transfer tray replaces the standard tray used for battery testing, keeping the standard tray in a testing state as much as possible and reducing the time its current and voltage testing functions are idle, thus minimizing resource waste.

[0010] In one embodiment, storing the target battery in a transfer tray includes:

[0011] Place the target battery in the transfer tray placement area;

[0012] If the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area meet the preset conditions, then the target battery and other batteries will be stored in the transfer tray.

[0013] In this embodiment, the target battery is placed in the transfer tray placement area. If the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area meet preset conditions, the target battery and other batteries are stored in the transfer tray. Since the transfer tray can hold multiple batteries at a time, when storing the target battery in the transfer tray, it is first placed in the transfer tray placement area. Only when all batteries in the transfer tray placement area meet the preset conditions are these batteries stored together in the transfer tray. This maximizes the battery holding capacity of the transfer tray, making the space utilization of the transfer tray the largest possible, and achieving the effect of transferring a large number of batteries at once through the transfer tray, thereby improving the transfer efficiency. In addition, judging whether the batteries in the transfer tray placement area can be stored in the transfer tray based on preset conditions is equivalent to setting a reasonable time to perform the storage operation in the transfer tray, improving the timeliness of the transfer and avoiding the situation of excessive battery accumulation in the transfer tray placement area due to delayed storage.

[0014] In one embodiment, the target battery and other batteries are stored in a transfer tray, including:

[0015] Generate a battery placement layout based on the battery parameter information of the target battery and the battery parameter information of other batteries;

[0016] According to the battery placement layout, store the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray.

[0017] In this embodiment, a battery placement layout is generated based on the battery parameter information of the target battery and other batteries. The target battery and other batteries are then stored in a transfer tray according to this layout. In other words, the battery placement layout in the transfer tray is generated in advance based on the battery parameter information of all batteries. Placing the batteries according to this layout maximizes the utilization of the transfer tray's battery transfer capacity, enabling the transfer of as many batteries as possible and improving battery transfer efficiency.

[0018] In one embodiment, a battery placement layout is generated based on the battery parameter information of the target battery and the battery parameter information of other batteries, including:

[0019] Based on the battery parameter information of the target battery and the battery parameter information of other batteries, obtain the weight of each battery and the projection area size of the different placement surfaces of each battery onto the placement area in the transfer tray.

[0020] The battery placement layout is determined based on the weight of each battery and the projection area size of the different placement surfaces of each battery.

[0021] In this embodiment, based on the battery parameter information of the target battery and the battery parameter information of other batteries, the weight of each battery and the projection area size of each battery's different placement surfaces onto the placement area within the transport tray are obtained. The battery placement layout is then determined based on the weight of each battery and the projection area size of each battery's different placement surfaces onto the placement area within the transport tray. Since the battery placement layout is generated based on the weight of each battery and the projection area size of each battery's different placement surfaces onto the placement area within the transport tray, it is equivalent to considering both the weight the transport tray can bear and the area of ​​the placement area within the transport tray when generating the battery placement layout. This maximizes the use of the space within the transport tray while ensuring that the batteries stored in the transport tray are within the total weight that can be borne, thus improving space utilization. Furthermore, since each surface of the battery itself is irregular, comparing and weighing the projection area size of each battery's different placement surfaces onto the placement area within the transport tray as factors makes the final battery placement layout more reasonable and accurate.

[0022] In one embodiment, the battery placement layout is determined based on the weight of each battery and the projection area size of different placement surfaces of each battery, including:

[0023] Based on the projection area size of different placement surfaces of each battery, determine multiple different candidate placement layouts and the layout size of multiple candidate placement layouts;

[0024] The battery placement layout is determined based on the layout dimensions of each candidate layout and the total battery weight of each candidate layout.

[0025] In this embodiment, multiple candidate placement layouts and their respective dimensions are determined based on the projection area dimensions of different placement surfaces of each battery. The final battery placement layout is then determined based on the layout dimensions of each candidate layout and the total battery weight. In other words, multiple candidate placement layouts are generated based on the projection area dimensions of all battery placement surfaces. The final battery placement layout is then determined using the layout dimensions of each candidate layout and the total battery weight. This approach considers both the layout dimensions of the candidate layouts and the total battery weight as factors, resulting in a more reasonable and accurate final battery placement layout.

[0026] In one embodiment, determining the battery placement layout based on the layout dimensions of each candidate placement layout and the total battery weight of each candidate placement layout includes:

[0027] Among the candidate placement layouts, at least one target placement layout is selected where the layout size is less than or equal to the size of the placement area inside the transfer tray and the total weight of the battery is less than a preset weight threshold.

[0028] Obtain the number of batteries in each target placement layout and the area occupancy of the total projected area of ​​each target placement layout within the transfer pallet placement area;

[0029] The battery placement layout is determined by maximizing the number of batteries and their area occupancy.

[0030] In this embodiment, among the candidate placement layouts, at least one target placement layout is selected that has a layout size less than or equal to the size of the placement area within the transfer tray, and a total battery weight less than a preset weight threshold. Then, the number of batteries in each target placement layout and the area occupancy of the total projected area of ​​each target placement layout within the placement area of ​​the transfer tray are obtained. The target placement layout with the most batteries and the largest area occupancy is determined as the battery placement layout. That is, based on the layout size and total battery weight, some candidate placement layouts that do not meet the requirements of the transfer tray's total weight capacity and the size of the placement area within the transfer tray are first eliminated. This makes the final battery placement layout more reasonable and accurate, preventing situations where the transfer tray's weight capacity is insufficient to support the total battery weight corresponding to the battery placement layout, or where the batteries corresponding to the battery placement layout cannot be fully stored in the transfer tray. Furthermore, since the battery placement layout is the target placement layout with the most batteries and the largest area occupancy, under the premise of a reasonable battery placement layout, more batteries can be transferred at once by the transfer tray, thereby reducing the number of transfers and improving battery transfer efficiency.

[0031] In one embodiment, the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area meet preset conditions, including: the total number of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area is greater than or equal to a preset number; and / or, the total weight of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area is greater than or equal to a preset weight.

[0032] In this embodiment, the total number of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area is greater than or equal to a preset number; and / or, the total weight of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area is greater than or equal to a preset weight. When the total number of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area is greater than or equal to the preset number; and / or when the total weight of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area is greater than or equal to the preset weight, the target battery and other batteries are all stored in the transfer tray. The total number and / or total weight of all batteries in the transfer tray placement area are used to determine whether to perform the operation of storing batteries in the transfer tray placement area into the transfer tray. This is equivalent to setting a reasonable timing for storing batteries into the transfer tray, improving the timeliness of battery transfer, and avoiding the situation where excessive battery accumulation occurs in the transfer tray placement area due to delayed storage.

[0033] In one embodiment, placing the target battery in the transfer tray placement area includes:

[0034] With the target battery placed on a standard tray, the connection between the target battery and the standard tray is disassembled, and the disassembled target battery is placed in the transfer tray placement area; one battery is placed on each standard tray.

[0035] In this embodiment, when the target battery is placed on a standard tray, the connection between the target battery and the standard tray needs to be disassembled first. Then, the disassembled target battery is placed in the transfer tray placement area, thereby replacing the target battery from the standard tray used for battery testing. This ensures that the standard tray does not participate in the transfer process and remains in the testing state as much as possible, reducing the time that the current and voltage testing functions on the standard tray are idle, thus reducing resource waste. In addition, only the disassembled target battery participates in the transfer, and the standard tray does not participate in the transfer, so that the size and weight of the target battery are minimized when the target battery is transferred. This allows for the transfer of more batteries at once, improving battery transfer efficiency.

[0036] In one embodiment, disassembling the connection between the target battery and the standard tray includes:

[0037] Transfer the standard tray containing the target battery to the area where the tray removal device is located;

[0038] A disassembly command is sent to the tray disassembly device, which instructs the tray disassembly device to disconnect the target battery from the standard tray.

[0039] In this embodiment, a standard tray containing the target battery is transferred to the area where the tray disassembly device is located, and a disassembly command is sent to the tray disassembly device, instructing it to disconnect the target battery from the standard tray. Because a dedicated area for the tray disassembly device is provided, the standard tray containing the target battery is transferred to this area for disassembly. This division of the disassembly area makes the disassembly more accurate. Furthermore, directly disconnecting the target battery from the standard tray using the tray disassembly device increases the disassembly speed, thereby increasing the transfer speed of the target battery.

[0040] In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0041] Given that the target battery and other batteries have been stored on the transfer pallet, obtain the actual area occupancy of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer pallet;

[0042] The transfer of the target battery and other batteries is verified based on the actual area occupancy and the theoretical area occupancy.

[0043] In this embodiment, with the target battery and other batteries already stored on the transfer tray, the actual area occupancy of the target battery and other batteries on the transfer tray is obtained. Based on the actual area occupancy and the theoretical area occupancy, the transfer of the target battery and other batteries is verified. By verifying the batteries' placement accuracy on the transfer tray using both the actual and theoretical area occupancy rates, the reliability of battery placement is improved.

[0044] In one embodiment, the transfer of the target battery and other batteries is verified based on the actual area occupancy and the theoretical area occupancy, including:

[0045] If the error between the actual area occupancy and the theoretical area occupancy is less than the preset error value, the transfer verification of the target battery and other batteries is deemed successful.

[0046] In this embodiment, if the error between the actual area occupancy and the theoretical area occupancy is less than a preset error value, the transfer verification of the target battery and other batteries is deemed successful. Only when the actual area occupancy within the transfer tray is within a theoretical area occupancy range will the transfer verification of the target battery and other batteries be deemed successful, thus confirming the standardization of battery placement and improving the accuracy of battery placement.

[0047] In one embodiment, the target battery is transferred using a transfer tray, including:

[0048] Send a transfer instruction to the transfer dispatch vehicle, instructing the transfer dispatch vehicle to transfer the transfer pallet to the designated area in the transfer instruction.

[0049] In this embodiment, a transfer instruction is sent to the transfer dispatch vehicle, instructing the vehicle to transfer the transfer pallet to the designated area specified in the instruction. Directly transferring the batteries from the transfer pallet using the transfer dispatch vehicle improves battery transfer efficiency. Furthermore, the transfer route of the transfer dispatch vehicle can be planned in advance, allowing the transfer pallet to be directly transferred to the designated area, thus enhancing reliability during the transfer process.

[0050] Secondly, this application also provides a battery transfer device, which includes:

[0051] The storage module is used to respond to the transfer command of the target battery and store the target battery in the transfer tray; the transfer tray is used to hold multiple batteries of different specifications.

[0052] The transfer module is used to transfer the target battery via a transfer tray.

[0053] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a computer device including a memory and a processor. The memory stores a computer program, and the processor executes the computer program to implement the steps of the method provided in any of the embodiments of the first aspect described above.

[0073] The embodiments of the technical solution of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this application and are therefore merely examples, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0074] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains; the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application; the term "comprising" and any variations thereof in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. In the description of embodiments of this application, technical terms such as "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish different objects and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number, specific order, or primary or secondary relationship of the indicated technical features. In the description of embodiments of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise expressly and specifically defined. The reference to "embodiment" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a mutually exclusive, independent, or alternative embodiment. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments. In the description of the embodiments in this application, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0075] In the battery production or testing process, taking battery testing as an example, battery charge and discharge testing, high and low temperature testing, cross testing, long cycle testing, etc., all involve the need for battery transportation. The efficiency of battery transportation affects the efficiency of battery testing. In related technologies, batteries are tested using standard trays. When a battery needs to be tested in the next testing scenario, it is transported to the next testing scenario using a standard tray, thereby realizing the transportation of batteries.

[0076] However, in related technologies, the battery transfer methods use a standard tray to hold one battery, and only one battery is transferred at a time, resulting in low transfer efficiency. Furthermore, during battery transfer, the current, voltage, temperature, and pressure monitoring functions on the standard tray are idle, leading to significant resource waste and higher hardware costs.

[0077] Based on the above considerations, in order to improve battery transfer efficiency, a battery transfer method is proposed, which stores multiple batteries of different specifications on a transfer tray and transfers multiple batteries of different specifications simultaneously through the transfer tray, thereby improving battery transfer efficiency.

[0078] It should be understood that the technical efficiency that the battery transfer method provided in this application embodiment can achieve is not limited to this, and other technical effects can also be achieved. For example, storing multiple batteries of different specifications in the same transfer tray improves the utilization rate of the transfer tray space. Furthermore, by transferring batteries through a preset transfer tray, the time that the current, voltage, temperature, and pressure functions on the standard tray are idle can be reduced, thus reducing resource waste and lowering costs.

[0079] The battery transfer method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to the application environment shown in Figure 1, wherein the target battery 102 and the computer device 104 can communicate with each other, for example, through wired communication, wireless communication, etc. The target battery refers to any type of battery. The computing device includes, but is not limited to, smart terminals, personal computers, workbenches, processors, wearable smart devices, laptops, and servers.

[0080] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG2, a battery transfer method is provided. Taking the application of this method to the computer device in FIG1 as an example, the method includes the following steps:

[0081] S201, in response to the transfer instruction of the target battery, stores the target battery in the transfer tray; the transfer tray is used to hold multiple batteries of different specifications.

[0082] The target battery is any battery that needs to be transferred at present.

[0083] The target battery can include various test items, such as charge and discharge tests, high and low temperature tests, etc. Taking one test item as one test scenario as an example, when the target battery completes one test item and needs to be transferred to the next test scenario, the computer equipment responds to the transfer instruction of the target battery and stores the target battery in the transfer tray; the transfer tray can hold multiple batteries of different specifications.

[0084] After a target battery completes a test, it can be stored in the return sample area. The computer equipment responds to the transfer instruction of the target battery and stores the target battery in the return sample area into the transfer tray.

[0085] Taking cross-testing as an example, after the target battery completes the cross-testing, the target battery is stored in the cross-sample return area. After the computer equipment responds to the transfer instruction of the target battery, the target battery in the cross-sample return area is stored in the transfer tray.

[0086] Optionally, the test status of the target battery can be detected by a sensor. After the test item of the target battery is completed, the sensor can send a transfer signal to the computer device. After receiving the transfer signal, the computer device generates a transfer instruction for the target battery. Alternatively, the sensor can directly send a transfer instruction to the computer device.

[0087] The transfer instruction can also be sent from the test management platform of the upper-level system to the computer equipment. After receiving the transfer instruction, the computer equipment stores the target battery in the transfer tray according to the transfer instruction. Alternatively, the transfer instruction can be generated directly after the target battery is detected in the return sample area. The transfer instruction can include the identification of the transfer tray, the destination of the target battery transfer, etc.

[0088] The target battery can be stored in the transfer tray in one method: after the computer equipment responds to the transfer instruction for the target battery, it uses a device with a gripping function to place the target battery into the transfer tray. The transfer tray can be placed at a preset location, and the target battery can be stored in the transfer tray at that preset location.

[0089] Alternatively, after the computer device responds to the transfer instruction of the target battery, it controls the transfer tray to move to a preset distance from the target battery, and then stores the target battery in the transfer tray at the preset distance.

[0090] After the target battery is placed on the transfer tray, the target battery can be bound to the transfer tray, and the binding relationship can be stored in a computer device. For example, the correspondence between the identifier of the target battery and the identifier of the transfer tray can be stored in the computer device.

[0091] S202, the target battery is transferred using a transfer tray.

[0092] When transferring target batteries using a transfer tray, the transfer tray contains multiple batteries; after the target batteries are stored in the transfer tray, they can be transferred using the transfer tray. 。

[0093] One method for transferring the target battery using a transfer pallet is to send a transfer instruction to a transfer dispatch vehicle, instructing the vehicle to transfer the pallet to the designated area specified in the instruction. Specifically, the computer device sends the transfer instruction to the transfer dispatch vehicle. The instruction may include the pallet's identifier and the designated area to which it needs to be transferred. Upon receiving the instruction, the transfer dispatch vehicle places the pallet on its vehicle according to the identifier and then transfers it to the designated area. The instruction may also include the route from the transfer dispatch vehicle to the designated area.

[0094] Among them, the transfer and dispatch vehicles can be small cars manufactured at low cost, and the transfer and dispatch vehicles are transfer equipment with transfer functions.

[0095] The target battery can also be transferred using a transfer tray, which is a mobile device with wheels. After the target battery is placed on the transfer tray, a transfer instruction is sent to the transfer tray, and the transfer tray transfers the target battery according to the transfer instruction. The transfer instruction may include an indicated area and a transfer route. The transfer tray transfers the target battery to the indicated area according to the transfer route.

[0096] If the target battery needs to undergo storage testing in the next step, the indicated area can be the storage sample delivery area.

[0097] After the transfer pallet is transferred to the designated area, the transfer pallet can be bound to the designated area, and the binding relationship can be stored in the computer device. For example, the correspondence between the identification of the transfer pallet and the identification of the designated area can be stored in the computer device.

[0098] Optionally, after the target battery is transferred using the transfer tray, an empty transfer tray can be placed at the preset placement position of the tray. Batteries that need to be transferred later can be placed in the empty transfer tray, or the transfer tray can be placed back at the preset placement position of the tray after the batteries in the transfer tray have been transferred.

[0099] In the battery transfer method provided in this application embodiment, in response to the transfer instruction of the target battery, the target battery is stored in a transfer tray, and the target battery is transferred through the transfer tray; wherein, the transfer tray is used to hold multiple batteries of different specifications. In this method, when transferring batteries through the transfer tray, multiple batteries can be placed on the transfer tray, so that multiple batteries can be transferred simultaneously, thereby improving battery transfer efficiency; furthermore, since multiple batteries of different specifications can be placed in the transfer tray, multiple batteries of different specifications can be filled in the space of the transfer tray for one-time transfer, making full use of the space in the transfer tray, improving the space utilization rate of the transfer tray, thereby reducing the number of battery transfers; in addition, by transferring batteries through the transfer tray, the standard tray used for battery testing is replaced, so that the standard tray is kept in the testing state as much as possible, reducing the time when the current, voltage and other testing functions on the standard tray are idle, thereby reducing resource waste.

[0100] The following example illustrates the specific process of storing a target battery in a transfer tray. In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, storing the target battery in the transfer tray includes the following steps:

[0101] S301, Place the target battery in the transfer tray placement area.

[0102] The transfer tray placement area is for placing batteries that need to be transferred.

[0103] After responding to the transfer instruction for the target battery, the computer equipment places the target battery in the transfer pallet placement area. Optionally, the target battery can be placed in the transfer pallet placement area by a transfer dispatch vehicle or a device with a grabbing function; in addition to the target battery, the transfer pallet placement area also holds other batteries that need to be transferred via the transfer pallets.

[0104] It should be noted that any batteries that need to be transferred via a transfer tray can be placed in the transfer tray placement area first.

[0105] S302, if the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area meet the preset conditions, then the target battery and other batteries are stored in the transfer tray.

[0106] The other batteries in the transfer tray placement area are those that need to be transferred via transfer trays.

[0107] After placing the target battery in the transfer tray placement area, you can first determine whether the target battery and the other batteries in the transfer tray placement area meet the preset conditions. If the target battery and the other batteries in the transfer tray placement area meet the preset conditions, you can store the target battery and the other batteries in the transfer tray.

[0108] The preset conditions may include: the total number of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area is greater than or equal to a preset number; and / or, the total weight of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area is greater than or equal to a preset weight.

[0109] Specifically, if the total number of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area is greater than or equal to a preset number, then the target battery and other batteries are stored in the transfer tray; or, if the total weight of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area is greater than or equal to a preset weight, then the target battery and other batteries are stored in the transfer tray; or, if the total number of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area is greater than or equal to a preset number, and the total weight of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area is greater than or equal to a preset weight, then the target battery and other batteries are stored in the transfer tray.

[0110] In this embodiment, the total number of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area is greater than or equal to a preset number; and / or, the total weight of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area is greater than or equal to a preset weight. When the total number of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area is greater than or equal to the preset number; and / or when the total weight of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area is greater than or equal to the preset weight, the target battery and other batteries are all stored in the transfer tray. The total number and / or total weight of all batteries in the transfer tray placement area are used to determine whether to perform the operation of storing batteries in the transfer tray placement area into the transfer tray. This is equivalent to setting a reasonable timing for storing batteries into the transfer tray, improving the timeliness of battery transfer, and avoiding the situation where excessive battery accumulation occurs in the transfer tray placement area due to delayed storage.

[0111] It should be noted that if the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area do not meet the preset conditions, you can wait for a new battery to be placed in the transfer tray placement area until all batteries in the transfer tray placement area meet the preset conditions, and then store the batteries in the transfer tray placement area into the transfer tray.

[0112] Additionally, if the batteries in the transfer tray placement area do not meet the preset conditions within the preset time, it means that there are relatively few batteries stored in the transfer tray placement area for a long period of time. In order to improve the battery testing efficiency, the batteries in the transfer tray placement area can be stored in the transfer tray.

[0113] In one embodiment, if the preset condition is that the total number of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area is greater than or equal to a preset number, then if the total number of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area is less than the preset number, then it is determined that the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area do not meet the preset condition.

[0114] If the preset condition is that the total weight of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area is greater than or equal to the preset weight, then if the total weight of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area is less than the preset weight, then it is determined that the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area do not meet the preset condition.

[0115] If the preset condition is that the total number of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area is greater than or equal to the preset number, and the total weight of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area is greater than or equal to the preset weight, then if the total number of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area is less than the preset number, or the total weight of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area is less than the preset weight, then it is determined that the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area do not meet the preset condition.

[0116] In the battery transfer method provided in this application embodiment, the target battery is placed in the transfer tray placement area. If the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area meet preset conditions, the target battery and other batteries are stored in the transfer tray. In this method, since the transfer tray can hold multiple batteries at a time, when storing the target battery in the transfer tray, it is first placed in the transfer tray placement area. Only when all batteries in the transfer tray placement area meet the preset conditions are these batteries stored together in the transfer tray. This maximizes the battery holding capacity of the transfer tray, making the space utilization of the transfer tray the largest possible, and achieving the effect of transferring a large number of batteries at once through the transfer tray, thereby improving transfer efficiency. Furthermore, using preset conditions to determine whether the batteries in the transfer tray placement area can be stored in the transfer tray is equivalent to setting a reasonable timing for storing them in the transfer tray, improving the timeliness of transfer and avoiding the situation of excessive battery accumulation in the transfer tray placement area due to delayed storage.

[0117] Before placing the target battery and other batteries onto the transfer tray, it is necessary to plan their placement on the transfer tray. This battery placement layout is used to store the target battery and other batteries on the transfer tray. The following example illustrates how to generate this battery placement layout. In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 4, storing the target battery and other batteries on the transfer tray includes the following steps:

[0118] S401 generates a battery placement layout based on the battery parameter information of the target battery and the battery parameter information of other batteries.

[0119] The battery parameter information can include battery weight and size information, and the battery placement layout can clearly show the placement position of batteries of different specifications.

[0120] Taking battery parameter information, including battery weight and size information, as an example, a battery placement layout is generated based on the target battery's weight and size information.

[0121] The battery placement layout can be generated by combining the battery parameters of the target battery and other batteries with an intelligent planning algorithm.

[0122] The battery placement layout can also be generated based on the battery parameter information of the target battery and the battery parameter information of other batteries. Alternatively, it can be generated by using the battery parameter information of the target battery and the battery parameter information of other batteries as input to a pre-defined planning model. The planning model then analyzes the battery parameter information of the target battery and the battery parameter information of other batteries to output the battery placement layout.

[0123] In addition, when generating the battery placement layout, the parameter information of the transfer tray can also be considered. For example, the parameter information of the transfer tray can include the maximum size that the transfer tray can accommodate and the maximum weight it can bear. The battery placement layout is generated based on the battery parameter information of the target battery and the battery parameter information of other batteries, as well as the parameter information of the transfer tray.

[0124] Optionally, when generating the battery placement layout, the constraints of the batteries in the transfer tray can also be considered, such as the total number of batteries in the transfer tray being greater than or equal to the minimum preset number; where the minimum preset number is the minimum number of batteries allowed to be transferred by the transfer tray.

[0125] The battery placement layout can include an optimal placement layout, or it can include all possible placement layouts of all target batteries and other batteries in the transfer tray.

[0126] S402, according to the battery placement layout, store the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray.

[0127] The target battery and other batteries are placed in a transfer tray according to the battery placement layout obtained in the above embodiment.

[0128] In one embodiment, if the battery placement layout generated in the above embodiment is the optimal battery placement layout, the target battery and other batteries can be directly stored in the corresponding positions on the transfer tray according to the battery placement layout.

[0129] In another embodiment, if the battery placement layout generated in the above embodiment is all possible placement layouts of all target batteries and other batteries in the transfer tray, then a placement layout can be randomly selected from the multiple placement layouts or the placement layout with the highest comprehensive score can be selected as the target battery placement layout, and the target batteries and other batteries can be stored in the transfer tray according to the target battery placement layout.

[0130] Optionally, the comprehensive scoring method for multiple placement layouts can be based on at least one of the following: the total weight and quantity of batteries corresponding to the placement layout, and the size utilization rate of the transfer tray.

[0131] In the battery transfer method provided in this application embodiment, a battery placement layout is generated based on the battery parameter information of the target battery and the battery parameter information of other batteries. The target battery and other batteries are then stored in a transfer tray according to this layout. This method, by generating the battery placement layout in the transfer tray in advance based on the battery parameter information of all batteries, and placing the batteries according to this layout, maximizes the utilization of the transfer tray's battery transfer capacity, enabling the transfer of as many batteries as possible and improving battery transfer efficiency.

[0132] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 5, the battery placement layout is generated based on the battery parameter information of the target battery and the battery parameter information of other batteries, including the following steps:

[0133] S501, based on the battery parameter information of the target battery and the battery parameter information of other batteries, obtains the weight of each battery and the projection area size of the different placement surfaces of each battery onto the placement area in the transfer tray.

[0134] Battery parameters may include weight information, size information, etc. Among them, size information may include the size information (length and width) of each side of the battery and the positional relationship of each side.

[0135] Therefore, based on the battery parameter information of the target battery and the battery parameter information of other batteries, the weight of each battery and the projection area size of the different placement surfaces of each battery onto the placement area in the transfer tray can be obtained. The placement surface is the surface of the battery that has direct contact with the placement area in the transfer tray.

[0136] For each battery, its weight can be directly obtained from the corresponding battery parameter information.

[0137] The method to obtain the projection area size of the different placement surfaces of each battery onto the placement area in the transfer tray can be as follows: for any battery, the size information of the battery can be obtained according to a preset size model. Specifically, the size information of the battery is input into the size model, and each surface of the battery is analyzed through the size model to determine the projection area size of each surface as a placement surface onto the placement area in the transfer tray, thereby obtaining the projection area size of the different placement surfaces of each battery onto the placement area in the transfer tray.

[0138] The dimensions of the projection area may include the plane dimensions and height dimensions occupied within the transfer pallet.

[0139] S502 determines the battery placement layout based on the weight of each battery and the projection area size of different placement surfaces of each battery.

[0140] Based on the weight of each battery and the projection area size of each battery's different placement surfaces, all batteries are arranged and combined to obtain the battery placement layout for all batteries.

[0141] Based on a preset intelligent planning algorithm, the battery placement layout is obtained according to the weight of each battery and the projection area size of different placement surfaces of each battery.

[0142] It should be noted that the number of batteries in the battery placement layout is less than or equal to the total number of the target battery and other batteries.

[0143] In the battery transport method provided in this application embodiment, the weight of each battery and the projection dimensions of different placement surfaces of each battery onto the placement area within the transport tray are obtained based on the battery parameter information of the target battery and the battery parameter information of other batteries. The battery placement layout is then determined based on the weight of each battery and the projection dimensions of different placement surfaces. Since the battery placement layout is generated based on the weight of each battery and the projection dimensions of different placement surfaces onto the placement area within the transport tray, it is equivalent to considering both the weight the transport tray can bear and the area of ​​the placement area within the transport tray when generating the battery placement layout. This maximizes the use of space within the transport tray while ensuring that the batteries stored in the transport tray are within the total weight that can be borne, thus improving space utilization. Furthermore, since each surface of the battery is irregular, comparing and weighing the projection dimensions of different placement surfaces onto the placement area within the transport tray as factors makes the final battery placement layout more reasonable and accurate.

[0144] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 6, the battery placement layout is determined based on the weight of each battery and the projection area size of different placement surfaces of each battery, including the following steps:

[0145] S601, based on the projection area size of different placement surfaces of each battery, determines multiple different candidate placement layouts and the layout size of multiple candidate placement layouts.

[0146] Based on the projection area size of each battery's different placement surface onto the placement area within the transfer tray, several different candidate placement layouts and their corresponding layout sizes are determined. The total number of batteries in a candidate placement layout can be less than or equal to the total number of the target battery and other batteries. In a candidate placement layout, each battery has one placement surface, and the layout size can include the total battery size after storing the batteries according to the candidate placement layout.

[0147] In one embodiment, multiple candidate placement layouts and their respective layout dimensions can be determined directly using a preset planning model and the projection area dimensions of different placement surfaces for each battery. Specifically, multiple candidate placement layouts and their respective layout dimensions are determined by considering all batteries and the projection area dimensions of their different placement surfaces.

[0148] In another embodiment, the target battery and other batteries can be combined according to the number of batteries to obtain all battery combinations with multiple battery numbers; for each battery combination, all placement layouts of each battery combination are determined according to the projection area size of the different placement surfaces of each battery in the battery combination; all placement layouts corresponding to each battery combination in all battery combinations are determined as candidate placement layouts; wherein, the number of batteries can be all numbers greater than or equal to the minimum transfer quantity allowed by the transfer tray.

[0149] S602, determine the battery placement layout based on the layout dimensions of each candidate placement layout and the total battery weight of each candidate placement layout.

[0150] Among these options, the battery placement layout is the optimal storage method for storing the batteries on the transfer tray, which is the best among all candidate placement layouts.

[0151] In one embodiment, the battery placement layout is determined based on the layout dimensions of each candidate placement layout and the total battery weight of each candidate placement layout. Specifically, the layout dimensions of each candidate placement layout and the total battery weight of each candidate placement layout are input into the screening model, and the battery placement layout is determined by analyzing the dimensions of each candidate placement layout and the total battery weight through the screening model.

[0152] In another embodiment, as shown in FIG7, determining the battery placement layout based on the layout dimensions of each candidate placement layout and the total battery weight of each candidate placement layout may further include the following steps:

[0153] S701, among the candidate placement layouts, obtain at least one target placement layout whose layout size is less than or equal to the size of the placement area inside the transfer tray and whose total battery weight is less than a preset weight threshold.

[0154] The placement area size may include the dimensions that can be placed within the transfer pallet; the preset weight threshold may include the maximum load that the transfer pallet can bear during transfer.

[0155] Among the candidate placement layouts, at least one candidate placement layout is selected that has a layout size less than or equal to the size of the placement area inside the transfer tray and a total battery weight less than a preset weight threshold. The candidate placement layout that satisfies the condition of having a layout size less than or equal to the size of the placement area inside the transfer tray and a total battery weight less than the preset weight threshold is determined as the target placement layout. The target placement layout includes at least one.

[0156] Optionally, the placement area size may include the planar size of the placement area allowed to be placed within the transfer tray, and the layout size of the candidate placement layout may include the planar size of the layout after the battery is placed according to the candidate placement layout. Then, among the candidate placement layouts, at least one target placement layout is obtained where the planar size of the layout is less than or equal to the planar size of the placement area within the transfer tray, and the total weight of the battery is less than a preset weight threshold.

[0157] The placement area size may also include the planar size and height of the placement area allowed to be placed within the transfer tray. The layout size of the candidate placement layout may include the planar size and height of the layout after storing the batteries according to the candidate placement layout. Then, among the candidate placement layouts, at least one target placement layout is obtained where the planar size of the layout is less than or equal to the planar size of the placement area within the transfer tray, the height of the layout is less than or equal to the height of the placement area within the transfer tray, and the total weight of the batteries is less than a preset weight threshold.

[0158] It should be noted that when transferring pallets, they are placed on the transfer dispatch vehicle. Therefore, the preset weight threshold can be the weight boundary value that the transfer dispatch vehicle is allowed to bear.

[0159] S702, obtain the number of batteries in each target placement layout and the area occupancy of the total projected area of ​​each target placement layout in the transfer tray placement area.

[0160] The number of batteries in each target placement layout can be the total number of batteries in the target placement layout.

[0161] The method to obtain the area occupancy of the total projected area of ​​each target placement layout in the transfer pallet placement area can be as follows: determine the total projected area of ​​each target placement layout based on the layout size of each target placement layout; determine the area of ​​the transfer pallet placement area based on the size of the transfer pallet placement area; and then determine the area occupancy of the total projected area of ​​each target placement layout in the transfer pallet placement area based on the total projected area of ​​each target placement layout and the area of ​​the transfer pallet placement area.

[0162] For example, if the layout dimensions of a target placement are A cm × B cm, and the placement area of ​​the transfer pallet is C cm × D cm, then the total projected area of ​​the target placement is A cm × B cm = E square centimeters, and the area of ​​the placement area inside the transfer pallet is C cm × D cm = F square centimeters. The area occupied by the total projected area of ​​the target placement in the placement area inside the transfer pallet is E / F.

[0163] S703, the target placement layout that maximizes the number of batteries and occupies the largest area is determined as the battery placement layout.

[0164] Among multiple target placement layouts, the layout with the most batteries and the largest area occupancy is determined as the battery placement layout.

[0165] It should be noted that in reality, the battery layout may not have the largest area occupancy, even if the number of batteries is the largest. Therefore, when determining the battery layout from at least one target layout, a preset number of candidate battery layouts can be obtained from multiple target layouts. Among these, the candidate battery layout has the largest number of batteries among the target layouts. The candidate battery layout with the largest area occupancy is then determined as the battery layout.

[0166] When determining the battery placement layout, you can also directly select the target placement layout with the most batteries as the battery placement layout.

[0167] In this embodiment, among the candidate placement layouts, at least one target placement layout is selected where the layout size is less than or equal to the size of the placement area within the transfer tray, and the total battery weight is less than a preset weight threshold. Then, the number of batteries in each target placement layout and the area occupancy of the total projected area of ​​each target placement layout within the placement area of ​​the transfer tray are obtained. The target placement layout with the most batteries and the largest area occupancy is determined as the battery placement layout. Based on the layout size and total battery weight, some candidate placement layouts that do not meet the requirements of the transfer tray's total weight capacity and the size of the placement area within the transfer tray are first eliminated. This makes the final battery placement layout more reasonable and accurate, preventing situations where the transfer tray's weight capacity is insufficient to support the total battery weight corresponding to the battery placement layout, or where the batteries corresponding to the battery placement layout cannot be fully stored in the transfer tray. Furthermore, since the battery placement layout is the target placement layout with the most batteries and the largest area occupancy, under the premise of a reasonable battery placement layout, more batteries can be transferred at once by the transfer tray, thereby reducing the number of transfers and improving battery transfer efficiency.

[0168] In the battery transfer method provided in this application, multiple candidate placement layouts and their respective layout dimensions are determined based on the projection area dimensions of different placement surfaces of each battery. The final battery placement layout is then determined based on the layout dimensions of each candidate layout and the total battery weight. This method generates multiple candidate placement layouts based on the projection area dimensions of all battery placement surfaces, and then determines the final battery placement layout using the layout dimensions of each candidate layout and the total battery weight. This effectively considers both the layout dimensions of the candidate layouts and the total battery weight as factors, resulting in a more reasonable and accurate final battery placement layout.

[0169] If the target battery is one that needs to be transferred from the current test scenario to the next test scenario, it needs to be removed from the standard tray before placing the target battery in the transfer tray placement area. The following is a detailed description of this through an embodiment. In one embodiment, placing the target battery in the transfer tray placement area includes: if the target battery is placed in the standard tray, disconnecting the target battery from the standard tray and placing the disassembled target battery in the transfer tray placement area; each standard tray corresponds to one battery.

[0170] Before transferring the target battery, its status can be checked. If the target battery is placed on a standard tray, the connection between the target battery and the standard tray needs to be disassembled, and then the disassembled target battery is placed in the transfer tray placement area.

[0171] In this embodiment, when the target battery is placed on a standard tray, the connection between the target battery and the standard tray needs to be disassembled first. Then, the disassembled target battery is placed in the transfer tray placement area, thereby replacing the target battery from the standard tray used for battery testing. This ensures that the standard tray does not participate in the transfer process and remains in the testing state as much as possible, reducing the time that the current and voltage testing functions on the standard tray are idle, thus reducing resource waste. In addition, only the disassembled target battery participates in the transfer, and the standard tray does not participate in the transfer, so that the size and weight of the target battery are minimized when the target battery is transferred. This allows for the transfer of more batteries at once, improving battery transfer efficiency.

[0172] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 8, the method of disassembling the connection between the target battery and the standard tray may include the following steps:

[0173] S801, transfers the standard tray containing the target battery to the area where the tray removal device is located.

[0174] The area where the pallet unloading device is located can be a standard pallet unloading area.

[0175] If the target battery is detected to be placed on a standard tray, the standard tray containing the target battery is transferred to the area where the tray removal device is located, which is the area where the connection between the standard tray and the target battery can be removed.

[0176] Optionally, a standard pallet containing the target battery can be transferred to the area where the pallet removal device is located using a dedicated transfer dispatch vehicle. Specifically, a standard pallet transfer instruction is sent to the transfer dispatch vehicle, which includes the location and identification of the standard pallet, as well as the area where the pallet removal device is located. Based on the identification and location, the transfer dispatch vehicle can reach the area where the standard pallet is located, place the standard pallet containing the target battery on the transfer dispatch vehicle, and then transfer the standard pallet containing the target battery to the area where the pallet removal device is located.

[0177] S802, a disassembly command is sent to the tray disassembly device, which instructs the tray disassembly device to disassemble the connection between the target battery and the standard tray.

[0178] After the standard tray containing the target battery is transferred to the area where the tray removal device is located, a removal command can be sent to the tray removal device. This removal command is used to instruct the tray removal device to disconnect the connection between the target battery and the standard tray.

[0179] Specifically, after the standard tray containing the target battery is transferred to the area where the tray removal device is located, a removal command is sent to the tray removal device. After receiving the removal command, the tray removal device is activated to safely disconnect the connection between the standard tray and the target battery.

[0180] It should be noted that before the connection between the target battery and the standard tray is disassembled, the target battery and the standard tray are bound together, that is, the identification of the target battery corresponds to the identification of the standard tray. However, after the connection between the target battery and the standard tray is disassembled, the binding relationship between the target battery and the standard tray is released, and the battery parameters of the target battery are entered into the resource management system of the transfer tray placement area. The battery parameters include specifications, size, shape, weight and height.

[0181] In the battery transfer method provided in this application embodiment, a standard tray containing the target battery is transferred to the area where the tray disassembly device is located, and a disassembly command is sent to the tray disassembly device, instructing the tray disassembly device to disassemble the connection between the target battery and the standard tray. In this method, because a dedicated area is designated for the tray disassembly device, the standard tray containing the target battery is transferred to this area for disassembly. This division of the disassembly area makes the disassembly more accurate. Furthermore, directly disassembling the connection between the target battery and the standard tray through the tray disassembly device increases the disassembly speed, thereby increasing the transfer speed of the target battery.

[0182] After storing the target battery and other batteries on the transfer tray according to the battery placement layout, the transfer tray is verified. The following is a detailed description of this process using an embodiment, as shown in Figure 9. This embodiment includes the following steps:

[0183] S901, when the target battery and other batteries have been stored on the transfer pallet, obtain the actual area occupancy of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer pallet.

[0184] Given that the target battery and other batteries have been stored in the transfer pallet, obtain the actual area occupancy of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer pallet, where the target battery and other batteries refer to the batteries stored in the transfer pallet.

[0185] One way to obtain the actual area occupancy of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray is to detect the actual area of ​​the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray, obtain the area of ​​the placement area in the transfer tray, and determine the ratio of the actual area of ​​the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray to the area of ​​the placement area as the actual area occupancy of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray.

[0186] S902 verifies the transfer of the target battery and other batteries based on the actual area occupancy rate and the theoretical area occupancy rate.

[0187] The transfer of the target battery and other batteries is verified based on the actual area occupancy and the theoretical area occupancy.

[0188] In one embodiment, the theoretical area occupancy rate can be the actual allowable battery area occupancy rate within the transfer tray. The transfer of the target battery and other batteries can be verified based on the relationship between the actual area occupancy rate and the theoretical area occupancy rate. For example, if the actual area occupancy rate is greater than the theoretical area occupancy rate, it indicates that the space utilization rate within the transfer tray is relatively high, and the transfer verification of the target battery and other batteries is determined to be successful. If the actual area occupancy rate is less than or equal to the theoretical area occupancy rate, it indicates that the space utilization rate within the transfer tray is relatively low, and the transfer verification of the target battery and other batteries is determined to be unsuccessful.

[0189] In another embodiment, the theoretical area occupancy rate can be the battery area occupancy rate planned according to the battery placement layout theory, or the area occupancy rate of the total projected area of ​​the battery placement layout within the placement area of ​​the transfer tray. The transfer of the target battery and other batteries can be verified based on the error between the actual area occupancy rate and the theoretical area occupancy rate. For example, if the error between the actual area occupancy rate and the theoretical area occupancy rate is less than a preset error value, the transfer verification of the target battery and other batteries is determined to be passed; if the error between the actual area occupancy rate and the theoretical area occupancy rate is greater than or equal to the preset error value, the transfer verification of the target battery and other batteries is determined to be failed.

[0190] If the error between the actual area occupancy and the theoretical area occupancy is less than the preset error value, it indicates that the actual area occupancy within the transfer tray is within a theoretical range, and the transfer verification of the target battery and other batteries is considered successful. If the error between the actual area occupancy and the theoretical area occupancy is greater than or equal to the preset error value, it indicates that the actual area occupancy within the transfer tray is too large or too small, the battery placement layout is incorrect, and the transfer verification of the target battery and other batteries is considered unsuccessful.

[0191] After the target battery and other batteries pass the transfer verification, the transfer pallet is placed on the transfer dispatch vehicle, and the transfer of the battery is completed by the transfer dispatch vehicle. The transfer pallet can be placed on the transfer dispatch vehicle by a robotic arm on the transfer dispatch vehicle, or by a device with a gripping function to grab the transfer pallet onto the transfer dispatch vehicle.

[0192] In the battery transfer method provided in this application embodiment, after the target battery and other batteries have been stored on the transfer tray, the actual area occupancy rate of the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray is obtained. Based on the actual area occupancy rate and the theoretical area occupancy rate, the transfer of the target battery and other batteries is verified. In this method, after the target battery and other batteries have been stored on the transfer tray, the batteries are verified using the actual area occupancy rate and the theoretical area occupancy rate of the batteries in the transfer tray, verifying the accuracy of the battery placement in the transfer tray, thereby improving the reliability of battery placement.

[0193] In the battery transfer method provided in this application embodiment, during the battery transfer stage of battery testing, the computer equipment responds to the transfer command and schedules the equipment to automatically disconnect the connection between the battery and the standard tray. The disconnected battery is then transferred to a dedicated transfer tray. During the process, an artificial intelligence algorithm is used to achieve reasonable battery assembly according to assembly requirements and to perform corresponding assembly detection and correction.

[0194] This process involves inputting disassembled batteries of different sizes and specifications into a computer-based test management system. Based on the input battery specifications and using artificial intelligence algorithms, combined with the placement of the transfer trays, the system generates a battery placement layout that optimizes tray space utilization. This layout includes the placement position, orientation, and angle of batteries of each size and specification. This method allows for the assembly of transfer batteries using the fewest transfer trays to accommodate the most rationally arranged batteries, improving tray space utilization, reducing the number of transfers, and making more efficient use of test resources. After the batteries are placed on the transfer trays, further verification is required to ensure correct assembly, providing indications of errors or successes. This verification further standardizes battery placement and improves the accuracy of the process.

[0195] In addition, this method combines transfer trays with planning algorithms to bind transfer trays to multiple batteries and plan the optimal battery placement layout, which can significantly improve resource utilization and reduce testing costs.

[0196] In one embodiment, an example of a transfer tray is provided, as shown in Figure 10a, where M represents the transfer tray frame and N represents the transfer tray base. The transfer tray is shaped like a basket and can hold a larger number of batteries. As shown in Figure 10b, Q1 represents the transverse reinforcement of the transfer tray and Q2 represents the longitudinal reinforcement of the transfer tray. By reinforcing the base of the transfer tray both laterally and vertically, the weight of the batteries that the transfer tray can bear is increased. Furthermore, by setting the base and surrounding areas of the transfer tray to a perforated shape, the batteries can be secured after the target battery and other batteries are placed on the transfer tray, improving stability during the transfer process. For example, the batteries can be secured by inserting cable ties through the holes.

[0197] In one embodiment, taking the target battery as an example of cross-testing followed by storage testing, as shown in Figure 11a, Figure 11a is a transfer scenario of the target battery. The transfer scenario includes a cross-sample return area 10, a standard tray disassembly area 11, a transfer tray placement area 12, a transfer tray 13, and a storage sample delivery area 14.

[0198] Based on the target battery transfer scenario, a battery transfer method is also provided. The computer device includes a test resource management system, as shown in Figure 11b. This embodiment includes the following steps:

[0199] S1101 After the target battery has completed cross-testing at the test station, the standard pallet containing the target battery is transferred by the transfer dispatch vehicle to the shelf location in the cross-sample return area.

[0200] S1102, after receiving the instruction to place the target battery in the storage location (transfer area) of the shelf in the cross-sample area, the test management system controls the transfer dispatch vehicle to transfer the standard pallet to the storage location of the shelf in the standard pallet removal area.

[0201] In particular, the storage locations of the standard pallet unloading area have mechanical devices for unloading pallets and connecting them to batteries.

[0202] S1103, Once the standard tray is in place, activate the mechanical device to safely disconnect the standard tray from the target battery.

[0203] S1104 After the mechanical device safely disconnects the standard tray from the target battery, the target battery is transferred to the transfer tray placement area, and the battery parameters of the target battery are entered into the resource management system of the tray placement area.

[0204] The standard pallet unloading area and the transfer pallet placement area can serve as storage cache areas.

[0205] S1105, if the number of batteries in the transfer tray placement area meets the minimum batch required for the intelligent algorithm to plan the placement layout, call the preset algorithm to plan the battery placement layout.

[0206] The algorithm matches the transfer tray with the corresponding battery identification code, formulates a battery placement strategy in the battery batch that maximizes the number of batteries placed in a single transfer tray and ensures that the total theoretical weight of the batteries does not exceed the limit, and maps the result to the battery placement area on the transfer tray. The algorithm combines the shape and mass of each battery, projects the surface area of ​​different battery placement layouts onto the surface area of ​​the battery placement area on the transfer tray, calculates the occupancy rate of the battery placement area on the transfer tray, and calculates the optimal battery placement layout under the limit of total mass.

[0207] S1106, Store the batteries in the transfer tray according to the battery placement layout, and obtain the actual area occupied by the batteries in the transfer tray;

[0208] In this process, after the batteries are placed on the transfer tray according to the battery placement layout, the battery identification is bound to the transfer tray identification.

[0209] S1107, determine the actual area occupancy of the transfer pallet based on the actual area and the allowable battery placement area of ​​the transfer pallet.

[0210] S1108, if the error between the actual area occupancy rate and the theoretical area occupancy rate is less than the preset error value, the transfer verification of the battery in the transfer tray is determined to be passed.

[0211] S1109, Send a transfer instruction to the transfer dispatch vehicle, instructing the transfer dispatch vehicle to transfer the transfer pallet to the storage location of the shelf in the storage sample delivery area specified in the transfer instruction;

[0212] Each storage location on the shelves in the sample storage area has a location identifier. After the transfer pallet is transferred to the corresponding storage location on the shelf in the sample storage area, the identifier of the transfer pallet can be bound to the identifier of the storage location on the shelf in the sample storage area. This makes it convenient to find the battery according to the identifier binding relationship, improving the efficiency and accuracy of battery search.

[0213] It should be understood that although the steps in the flowcharts of the embodiments described above are shown sequentially according to the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless explicitly stated herein, there is no strict order restriction on the execution of these steps, and they can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least some steps in the flowcharts of the embodiments described above may include multiple steps or multiple stages. These steps or stages are not necessarily completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times. The execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be performed alternately or in turn with other steps or at least some of the steps or stages of other steps.

[0214] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a battery transfer device for implementing the battery transfer method described above. The solution provided by this device is similar to the solution described in the above method; therefore, the specific limitations in one or more battery transfer device embodiments provided below can be found in the limitations of the battery transfer method described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0215] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG12, a battery transfer device 1200 is provided, including: a storage module 1201 and a transfer module 1202, wherein:

[0216] The storage module 1201 is used to respond to the transfer command of the target battery and store the target battery in the transfer tray; the transfer tray is used to hold multiple batteries of different specifications.

[0217] The transfer module 1202 is used to transfer the target battery via a transfer tray.

[0218] In one embodiment, the storage module 1201 includes:

[0219] The transfer unit is used to place the target battery into the transfer tray placement area;

[0220] The storage unit is used to store the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray if the target battery and other batteries in the transfer tray placement area meet the preset conditions.
