For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application provides a new energy battery pack assembly device, including: a shell feeding device 100, a shell positioning device 200, a battery pack feeding device 300, and a battery pack assembly device 400.

[0048] The housing feeding device 100 is used to convey the housing to the housing positioning device 200, which is used to precisely restrict the housing's degrees of freedom in different directions. The battery pack feeding device 300 is used to convey the battery pack to the battery pack assembly device 400, which is used to push the battery pack into the housing to realize the assembly of the battery pack and the housing.

[0049] The following is a detailed description of the specific structure of new energy battery pack assembly equipment.

[0050] The shell feeding device 100 includes a shell feeding mechanism 110 and a shell transfer mechanism 120, with the shell transfer mechanism 120 disposed on one side of the shell feeding mechanism 110. The shell positioning device 200 includes a first moving mechanism 210, a first positioning mechanism 220, and a second positioning mechanism 230, with the first moving mechanism 210 disposed on one side of the shell transfer mechanism 120, the first positioning mechanism 220 disposed on the first moving mechanism 210 to restrict the shell's degree of freedom in a second direction, and the second positioning mechanism 230 disposed on the first moving mechanism 210. One side of mechanism 210 is used to restrict the degree of freedom of the housing in a third direction; the battery pack feeding device 300 includes: a battery pack feeding mechanism and a battery pack transfer mechanism 310, the battery pack transfer mechanism 310 being disposed on one side of the battery pack feeding mechanism; the battery pack assembly device 400 includes: a second moving mechanism 410 and a battery pack position adjustment mechanism 420, the second moving mechanism 410 and the first moving mechanism 210 being arranged along a first direction, the battery pack position adjustment mechanism 420 being located between the second moving mechanism 410 and the first positioning mechanism 220.

[0051] It is understandable that the first direction corresponds to the X-axis (i.e., the left-right direction) of the spatial coordinate system, the second direction corresponds to the Y-axis (i.e., the front-back direction) of the spatial coordinate system, and the third direction corresponds to the Z-axis (i.e., the up-down direction) of the spatial coordinate system.

[0052] During operation, the housing feeding mechanism 110 is used for housing feeding, and the housing transfer mechanism 120 sequentially transports the housing to the first positioning mechanism 220. Subsequently, the second positioning mechanism 230 restricts the housing's degrees of freedom from the upper and lower ends, respectively. The battery pack feeding mechanism is used for battery pack feeding. The battery pack transfer mechanism 310 sequentially transports the battery packs to the second moving mechanism 410. The second moving mechanism 410 transports the battery packs to the battery pack position adjustment mechanism 420 for sequential arrangement. Simultaneously, the second moving mechanism 410 pushes the arranged battery packs, pushing them into the housing to complete the assembly. This new energy battery pack assembly equipment achieves precise restriction of the housing's degrees of freedom in different directions by setting the housing positioning device 200, ensuring accurate positioning of the housing during assembly. By setting the second moving mechanism 410 and the battery pack position adjustment mechanism 420, the precise adjustment of the battery pack position is achieved to adapt to assembly requirements, ultimately completing the assembly of the battery pack and the housing.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in some embodiments, the shell feeding mechanism 110 includes: a first feeding platform 111, a shell storage bin 112, a shell discharge component 113, a transverse component 114, and a pushing component 115. The first feeding platform 111 is disposed on one side of the first moving mechanism 210. The shell storage bin 112 and the shell discharge component 113 are both disposed on the first feeding platform 111. The transverse component 114 and the pushing component 115 are both disposed on the side of the first feeding platform 111 near the shell positioning device 200.

[0054] Specifically, the shell discharge assembly 113 includes: a first cylinder 1131 and a discharge pusher plate 1132. The first cylinder 1131 is disposed on one side of the shell storage bin 112, and the discharge pusher plate 1132 is connected to the output end of the first cylinder 1131. The discharge pusher plate 1132 is configured to be movably disposed at the bottom of the shell storage bin 112 and push the shell out from the bottom of the shell storage bin 112.

[0055] The transverse component 114 includes: a first linear module 1141 and a first pusher 1142. The first linear module 1141 is disposed on one side of the first feeding platform 111, and the first pusher 1142 is connected to the output end of the first linear module 1141. A stop block is provided at one end of the first feeding platform 111 near the pusher component 115.

[0056] The feeding assembly 115 includes a second cylinder 1151 and a second pusher 1152. The second cylinder 1151 is located at one end of the first feeding platform 111 near the stop block, and the second pusher 1152 is connected to the second cylinder 1151.

[0057] During operation, the shells are stacked and placed in the shell storage bin 112, with the bottom shell located on the first feeding platform 111. The first cylinder 1131 drives the discharge pusher 1132 to extend forward, pushing the bottom shell out of the shell storage bin 112. The first linear module 1141 drives the first pusher 1142 to move to the left, pushing the shell and gradually moving it to the left. At this point, the leftmost shell contacts the stop block and stops. The second cylinder 1151 drives the second pusher 1152 to move forward, pushing a shell forward. The shell moving mechanism picks up this shell and transfers it to the first positioning mechanism 220.

[0058] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the first moving mechanism 210 includes: a first linear motor 211 and a support platform 212. The first linear motor 211 is disposed on one side of the housing transfer mechanism 120 and arranged along the first direction. The support platform 212 is connected to the output end of the first linear motor 211.

[0059] The first positioning mechanism 220 includes a second linear motor 221 and a material holding assembly 222. The second linear motor 221 is disposed on the support platform 212 along the second direction. There are two material holding assemblies 222. One material holding assembly 222 is connected to the first output end of the second linear motor 221, and the other material holding assembly 222 is connected to the second output end of the second linear motor 221. The two material holding assemblies 222 move in opposite directions.

[0060] The first moving mechanism 210 drives the first positioning mechanism 220 to reciprocate along a first direction, thereby receiving the housing conveyed by the housing transfer mechanism 120. During operation, the first linear motor 211 drives the support platform 212 to move backward and closer to the housing transfer mechanism 120. The housing transfer mechanism 120 conveys the housing between two holding components 222. The second linear motor 221 drives the two holding components 222 to move towards each other, clamping the housing and thus fixing it in place. Subsequently, the first linear motor 211 drives the support platform 212 to move towards the battery pack assembly device 400.

[0061] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the material holding assembly 222 includes: a slide rail seat 2221, a mating seat 2222, and a material holding member 2223. The slide rail seat 2221 is connected to one of the first output end or the second output end of the second linear motor 221. The mating seat 2222 is detachably connected to the slide rail seat 2221. The material holding member 2223 is disposed on the mating seat 2222 and has a material holding groove 2224.

[0062] Specifically, the slide rail seat 2221 is provided with a guide protrusion along the second direction, and the guide protrusion is provided with a plurality of fixing holes spaced apart. The mating seat 2222 is provided with a guide groove that mates with the guide protrusion. The guide groove is provided along the second direction. The mating seat 2222 is provided with a fixing groove that communicates with the guide groove. The fixing groove is provided along the third direction.

[0063] When the housing is conveyed to the first positioning mechanism 220, the housing enters from the direction of the mating seat 2222 to the material holder 2223. Furthermore, since the housing has a certain length, the mating seat 2222 and the material holder 2223 are arranged to contact one long side of the housing simultaneously, thereby fixing the housing.

[0064] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in some embodiments, the second positioning mechanism 230 includes: a base 231, a lead screw transmission mechanism 232, a drive motor 233, an upper movable plate 234, a first extension arm 235, a lower movable plate 236, and a second extension arm 237. The base 231 is disposed on one side of the first moving mechanism 210. The first lead screw transmission mechanism is disposed on the base 231 along a third direction. The output end of the drive motor 233 is connected to the first lead screw transmission mechanism. Under the drive of the first lead screw transmission mechanism, the upper movable plate 234 and the lower movable plate 236 can move towards or away from each other. The first extension arm 235 is connected to the upper movable plate 234, and a first suction cup is provided at the end of the first extension arm 235. The second extension arm 237 is connected to the lower movable plate 236, and a second suction cup is provided at the end of the second extension arm 237.

[0065] When positioning the housing, the drive motor 233 drives the lead screw transmission mechanism 232 to work. The lead screw transmission mechanism 232 rotates, causing the upper movable plate 234 to move down and the lower movable plate 236 to move up, so that the first suction cup is attached to the top of the housing and the second suction cup is attached to the bottom of the housing, thereby realizing the restriction of the housing's freedom in the third direction.

[0066] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the battery pack transfer mechanism 310 includes: a second linear module, a support plate, a third cylinder, a rotary motor, a support frame, and a suction cup unit. The second linear module is disposed on the battery pack assembly device 400 along a second direction. The support plate is connected to the output end of the second linear module. The third cylinder is disposed on the support plate along a third direction. The rotary motor is disposed on the output end of the third cylinder along a third direction. The support frame is connected to the output end of the rotary motor. The suction cup unit is disposed on the support frame.

[0067] The battery pack feeding mechanism is a common feeding conveyor belt, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0068] The battery pack transfer mechanism 310 is used to transfer the battery pack from the battery pack feeding mechanism to the second moving mechanism 410.

[0069] The second linear module and the third cylinder work together to enable the battery pack to move in a planar manner, thereby transporting it to the second moving mechanism 410.

[0070] A rotary motor is used to adjust the posture of the battery pack. For example, when the battery pack is on the battery pack feeding mechanism, its length direction is parallel to a second direction. When the battery pack is assembled with the housing, its length direction must be parallel to a first direction. Thus, the posture of the battery pack is adjusted by the rotary motor.

[0071] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in some embodiments, the second moving mechanism 410 includes: a third linear module 411, a mounting base 412, a first pneumatic gripper 413, a first clamping block 414, and a second clamping block 415. The third linear module 411 is disposed on one side of the first moving mechanism 210. The mounting base 412 is connected to the output end of the third linear module 411. The first pneumatic gripper 413 is disposed on the mounting base 412. The first clamping block 414 and the second clamping block 415 are respectively connected to the movable end of the first pneumatic gripper 413. The first clamping block 414 is located above the second clamping block 415.

[0072] When the battery pack transfer mechanism 310 transports the battery pack to the second moving mechanism 410, the battery pack transfer mechanism 310 moves the battery pack to a horizontal position on the right side of the first gripper 413. At this time, the first gripper 413 operates, and the first clamping block 414 and the second clamping block 415 open. The third linear module 411 drives the first gripper 413 to move towards the battery pack, so that the second clamping block 415 contacts the lower surface of the battery pack. The first gripper 413 operates, and the first clamping block 414 and the second clamping block 415 close, thereby clamping the battery pack between the first clamping block 414 and the second clamping block 415. The third linear module 411 drives the first gripper 413 to move towards the battery pack position adjustment mechanism 420, and arranges the battery pack in the battery pack position adjustment mechanism 420.

[0073] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the battery pack position adjustment mechanism 420 includes: a frame 421, a fourth cylinder, a first limiting block 422, a fifth cylinder, and a second limiting block 423. The frame 421 is disposed between the third linear module 411 and the first moving mechanism 210. The fourth and fifth cylinders are both disposed on the frame 421. The first limiting block 422 is connected to the output end of the fourth cylinder, and the second limiting block 423 is connected to the output end of the fifth cylinder. A limiting channel is formed between the first limiting block 422 and the second limiting block 423. Driven by the third linear module 411, the first gripper 413 clamps the battery pack and moves along the limiting channel toward the first positioning mechanism 220. Thus, by controlling the first limiting block 422 with the fourth cylinder and the second limiting block 423 with the fifth cylinder, the distance between the first limiting block 422 and the second limiting block 423 is adjusted, i.e., the width of the limiting channel is adjusted, thereby adapting to battery packs of different widths.

[0074] In some embodiments, the frame 421 is further provided with a blocking cylinder, the output end of which is connected to a blocking block, the end of which extends to one end of the limiting channel. Thus, the blocking block blocks the battery pack, preventing it from falling out of the limiting channel.

[0075] For example, during the assembly of the battery pack and the housing, multiple battery packs are arranged in the limiting channel along a first direction. At this time, the third linear module 411 drives the first pneumatic gripper 413 to move to the right, the blocking block moves upward, and the battery pack near the blocking block is pushed into the housing located in the first positioning mechanism 220, completing the assembly of the battery pack and the housing. Subsequently, the first pneumatic gripper 413 opens, places a new battery pack in the limiting channel, the blocking block moves downward, and the third linear module 411 drives the first pneumatic gripper 413 to move to the left, preparing to receive the next battery pack.

[0076] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not constitute any limitation on this application. Any person skilled in the art can make many possible variations and modifications to the technical solution of this application, or modify it into equivalent embodiments, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made based on the shape, structure, and principle of this application without departing from the content of the technical solution of this application should be covered within the protection scope of this application.
