Then, the multi-axis robotic arm 10 performs overall handling;

[0056] Through the coordinated work of the multi-axis robotic arm 10, the clamping components 40, and the elastic mounting components 50, precise handling and clamping of multiple sets of battery box bodies 30 are achieved.

[0057] Through the elastic mounting components 50 and the elastic clamping plates 60, buffering can be provided to reduce the impact force on the battery box bodies 30 caused by the rapid movement or positioning deviation of the multi-axis robotic arm 10 during the clamping process. Moreover, it can adapt to the minor changes on the surface of the battery box bodies 30, maintain a stable clamping force, and avoid affecting the clamping effect due to minor differences in the dimensions of the battery box bodies 30;

[0058] By adjusting the elastic coefficients of the elastic mounting components 50 and the elastic clamping plates 60, the magnitude and characteristics of the clamping force can be precisely controlled to adapt to different application requirements. Moreover, the elastic contact can quickly respond and adapt to different clamping conditions, contributing to improving the automation degree and overall efficiency of the production line.

[0063] Two sets of clamping jaws 45 are symmetrically arranged on the movable rod 44, and the elastic mounting assembly 50 is arranged on the two sets of clamping jaws 45.

[0064] Specifically, a fixing plate 46 is hingedly arranged on the clamping jaw 45;

[0066] Specifically, a driving cylinder 41 is arranged on the top plate 42, and a driving piston 411 is arranged on the driving cylinder 41;

[0067] The driving piston 411 is connected to the driving plate 47. When the driving piston 411 rises, the driving plate 47 rises, driving the clamping jaw 45 to displace towards the direction of the driving piston 411.

[0068] In this embodiment, when driving the two clamping plates 60 to displace towards the battery box body 30, the driving cylinder 41 is opened, so that the driving piston 411 displaces towards the top plate 42, driving the driving rod 48 and the driving plate 47 to displace towards the top plate 42, thereby driving the clamping jaw 45 to displace towards the center of the top plate 42 through the fixing plate 46, so that the clamping plate 60 displaces towards the center of the top plate 42 to clamp the battery box body 30;

[0069] Of course, when it is not necessary to clamp the battery box body 30, the driving cylinder 41 is opened, so that the driving piston 411 displaces in the direction away from the top plate 42.

[0070] Specifically, a positioning plate 451 is arranged on the clamping jaw 45, and a T-shaped groove 453 is formed in the positioning plate 451;

[0071] The elastic mounting assembly 50 includes a mounting plate 51. The mounting plate 51 is arranged between the two positioning plates 451. An installation T-shaped block 52 is arranged on the mounting plate 51. The installation T-shaped block 52 is adapted to the T-shaped groove 453, and the mounting plate 51 is connected to the positioning plate 451 by the installation T-shaped block 52 being inserted into the T-shaped groove 453.

[0072] In this embodiment, by inserting the installation T-shaped block 52 into the T-shaped groove 453, the mounting plate 51 can be conveniently connected to the positioning plate 451, thereby facilitating the installation process of the clamping plate 60.

[0074] Sliding grooves 582 are formed in both side walls of the limiting groove 58, two groups of sliding plates 59 are symmetrically arranged on the limiting plate 55, the two groups of sliding plates 59 are adapted to the two groups of sliding grooves 582, and the sliding plates 59 are slidably arranged in the sliding grooves 582, so that the limiting plate 55 slides in the limiting groove 58.

[0075] In this embodiment, through the cooperation of the sliding groove 582 and the sliding plate 59, the displacement direction of the limiting plate 55 can be guided, which is convenient for the limiting plate 55 to displace in the limiting groove 58, so that the limiting plate 55 can be stuck between the two positioning plates 451.

[0076] Specifically, a plurality of guiding holes 581 are formed in the limiting groove 58, a plurality of guiding rods 57 are arranged on the limiting plate 55, the plurality of guiding rods 57 are matched with the plurality of guiding holes 581 in position and size, and the guiding rods 57 are slidably arranged in the guiding holes 581;

[0077] A guiding spring 56 is sleeved on the outer wall of the guiding rod 57, and the guiding spring 56 is connected with the bottom of the limiting groove 58 and the limiting plate 55, so that the guiding rod 57 elastically slides in the guiding hole 581.

[0078] In this embodiment, when the mounting T-shaped block 52 slides in the T-shaped groove 453, the limiting plate 55 is pressed to displace the limiting plate 55 towards the limiting groove 58, so that the limiting T-shaped block 53 is aligned with the T-shaped groove 453. Then the mounting plate 51 continues to displace until the mounting T-shaped block 52 is connected with another T-shaped groove 453. The limiting T-shaped block 53 passes through the T-shaped groove 453 and elastically resets between the two positioning plates 451 through the guiding spring 56, and is stuck on the two positioning plates 451, avoiding the displacement of the mounting plate 51 on the two positioning plates 451, ensuring the stability of the connection between the mounting plate 51 and the positioning plate 451, and thus ensuring the stability of the clamping plate 60.

[0079] Specifically, a rubber plate 63 is arranged on the clamping plate 60, and the rubber plate 63 contacts the battery box body 30;

[0082] In this embodiment, through the cooperation of the clamping screw rod 61 and the threaded hole 54, it is convenient to connect the clamping plate 60 to the guide rod 57. During the process of clamping the battery box body 30, the guide spring 56 provides elasticity for the clamping plate 60, facilitating flexible clamping.

[0083] Of course, through the threaded hole 54, it is convenient for an internal hexagonal wrench to extend into the internal hexagonal connection hole 62 to drive the clamping screw rod 61 to rotate.

[0084] Of course, when the limiting plate 55 is snapped into the space between the two positioning plates 451, the sliding plate 59 slides in the sliding groove 582 and the clamping groove 452, facilitating the clamping process.

[0085] Of course, when clamping the battery box body 30, the guide spring 56 is in a stretched state. When not in contact with the battery box body 30, the guide spring 56 resets to drive the displacement of the clamping plate 60, and the guide spring 56 returns to its normal state.

[0086] When pressing the limiting plate 55 towards the limiting groove 58 for displacement, the guide spring 56 is in a compressed state. When not pressing the limiting plate 55, the guide spring 56 resets to drive the limiting plate 55 to snap into the space between the two positioning plates 451, and the guide spring 56 returns to its normal state.

Attitude adjustment and clamping: After S50 is completed, the multi-axis robotic arm (10) is turned on to drive the connecting plate (20) and multiple sets of clamping components (40) to adjust the attitude until the multiple sets of clamping components (40) are displaced above the evenly arranged multiple sets of battery box bodies (30). Then, the multi-axis robotic arm (10) drives the connecting plate (20) to descend, the driving cylinder (41) is turned on to complete the clamping process, and then the multi-axis robotic arm (10) adjusts the attitude to carry the multiple sets of battery box bodies (30).
