[0035] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention through specific examples, and those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification.

It should be noted that the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Furthermore, in the description of this specification, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances, and they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0038] It should be noted that the X, Y, and Z axes described in the present invention are only the X, Y, and Z axes shown in the accompanying drawings; and the "cluster entry limit position" described in the present application is the position that the PACK battery pack finally reaches after moving on the cluster entry mechanism, and the "cluster entry limit position" is the position of the PACK battery pack relative to the cluster entry mechanism, not the final position of the PACK battery pack after clustering; the "cluster entry position" described in the present application is the position before the cluster entry mechanism reaches the empty position of the battery cluster that needs to be clustered, and the "cluster entry position" is the position of the cluster entry mechanism relative to the empty position of the battery cluster; the "cluster entry position" described in the present application is the final position of the PACK battery pack after clustering, and the "cluster entry position" is the position of the PACK battery pack relative to the battery cluster. ; The cluster entry mechanism first transports the PACK battery pack to the cluster entry limit position, and when the lifting platform moves to the waiting cluster entry position, the cluster entry mechanism moves the PACK battery pack from the cluster entry limit position to the cluster entry position; In this application, the term "forward" refers to the cluster entry direction of the PACK battery pack, and "backward" refers to the opposite direction relative to the cluster entry direction of the PACK battery pack; The "sequential connection" between the components mentioned in the present invention only represents the relative position relationship between the components. Without destroying the relative position and connection order of the components, those skilled in the art can set other different intermediate components between the sequentially connected components according to actual needs.

[0039] In the prior art, PACK battery packs are clustered by manual operation with forklifts or automatic clustering equipment. However, the manual clustering method is inefficient, and the automatic clustering equipment has problems such as inaccurate clustering posture, and the PACK battery pack has the risk of falling from a height. Under this premise, how to use automated PACK battery pack clustering equipment to improve clustering efficiency and ensure accurate clustering of PACK battery packs has become an urgent problem to be solved in the industry.

[0040] like Figure 1The present invention shows an adjustable posture PACK battery pack automatic clustering device, which includes a lifting mechanism 1 and a clustering mechanism 2. The lifting mechanism 1 includes a lifting platform 11, a lifting guide rail 12 and a lifting frame 13. The lifting guide rail 12 is vertically arranged on the lifting frame 13. The lifting platform 11 is slidably connected to the lifting guide rail 12. The clustering mechanism 2 includes a clustering module 21, a Y-axis rotation module 22 and a Y-axis movement module 24 connected in sequence from top to bottom. The Y-axis rotation module 22 includes a rotating base, and the rotating base includes two cams 222 and two cam seats 223. The cam 222 is fixed to the clustering module 21. On both sides of the module 21 in the Y-axis direction, the cams 222 are obliquely or vertically slidably connected to the cam seats 223; the Y-axis moving module 24 is arranged at the bottom of the Y-axis rotating module 22, and the Y-axis moving module 24 includes a first slider guide, which connects the lifting platform 11 and the cluster entry module 21, and the cluster entry module 21 is slidably connected to the lifting platform 11 in the Y-axis direction through the first slider guide; it should be understood that the number of cams 222 and cam seats 223 is 2 only for preference, and in this embodiment, the cam 222 and the cam seat 223 can be set only on one side of the cluster entry module 21 in the Y-axis direction.

[0041] In this solution, the clustering module 21 can adjust the clustering posture on the Y-axis through the Y-axis moving module 24 and the Y-axis rotating module 22, which can better adapt to the operation requirements of different directions and angles, so that the PACK battery pack automatic clustering device can handle PACK battery packs of different specifications and types; this application realizes the automatic clustering of PACK battery packs, reduces the need for manual operation, and improves production efficiency and automation level.

[0043] It should be noted that Figure 3 The number of the first limit switches 111 shown as 2 is only a preference. The two first limit switches 111 limit the distance that the clustering mechanism 2 moves forward and backward on the Y-axis, which not only prevents the clustering mechanism 2 from moving forward too much and colliding with the container, but also prevents the clustering mechanism 2 from detaching from the lifting platform 11 when retreating.

The limiting bolt 145 passes through the anti-fall fixing block 144 and abuts against the groove of the anti-fall pin 142. In this solution, the anti-fall fixing block 144 is sleeved on the anti-fall pin 142 to provide stable support and guidance, so that the anti-fall pin 142 can maintain a precise trajectory when extending and retracting, avoiding jamming or malfunctioning due to offset or shaking. By adjusting the position and tightening degree of the limiting bolt 145, the motion range and fixed position of the anti-fall pin 142 can be easily adjusted, making the installation and maintenance of the system easier.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the Y-axis moving module 24 includes a first slider guide rail, and the first slider guide rail includes a first slider 241 and a first guide rail. The first slider 241 is arranged on the lifting platform 11, and the first guide rail is arranged on the clustering mechanism 2.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 6As shown, the clustering module 21 also includes a clustering drive device, a guide wheel 211 and a conveying roller bar 212, and the guide wheel 211 is arranged on both sides of the PACK battery pack in the forward direction; the clustering mechanism 2 also includes a 3D camera, and the shooting angle of the 3D camera covers the PACK battery pack clustering limit position; the 3D camera is used to feedback the PACK battery pack clustering angle to ensure the accuracy of clustering; the 3D camera can capture the position, posture and angle of the PACK battery pack in real time, and judge whether the PACK battery pack is correctly aligned with the clustering position through accurate three-dimensional measurement data, thereby improving the accuracy of the PACK battery pack clustering and reducing the readjustment or failure caused by position error; and the traditional limit detection The method usually relies on mechanical contact sensors, which may cause slight damage to the PACK battery pack; the 3D camera, as a non-contact detection method, can avoid this problem and protect the integrity and surface quality of the PACK battery pack; the 3D camera can feedback data to the control system. If a deviation in angle or position is detected, the control system will immediately adjust through the Y-axis movement module 24, the Y-axis rotation module 22 and the Z-axis rotation module 23 to ensure that each PACK battery pack can be clustered in the best posture; the guide wheels 211 are arranged on both sides of the forward direction of the PACK battery pack to provide a stable guiding effect, prevent the PACK battery pack from deviating during the transportation process, and improve the stability of transportation.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the clustering mechanism 2 also includes a Z-axis rotation module 23, which is arranged between the clustering module 21 and the Y-axis movement module 24; the Z-axis rotation module 23 includes a bevel gear driving wheel 231, a bevel gear slewing bearing 232 and a fourth limit switch 233, the bevel gear driving wheel 231 is connected to the bevel gear slewing bearing 232, and the rotation of the clustering mechanism 2 on the Z-axis is realized by the rotation of the bevel gear slewing bearing 232; the fourth limit switch 233 is used to limit the Z-axis rotation angle of the clustering mechanism 2 to prevent excessive rotation and collision with other equipment and damage; the Y-axis rotation module 22 is arranged between the clustering module 21 and the Z-axis rotation module 23, the Y-axis rotation module 22 includes a rotating base and a third limit switch, the rotating base includes a bearing bracket 221, a cam 222, a cam seat 223, a second slider guide rail 224 and a first connecting plate 225; the cam 222 is connected to the bearing bracket 221, and the bearing bracket 221 is vertically connected to the cluster entry module 21; the cam seat 223 is connected to the second slider guide rail 224 through the first connecting plate 225; the cam seat 223 is provided with an oblique slide groove, and the cam 222 and the cam seat 223 are slidably connected through the oblique slide groove; the third limit switch is used to limit the Y-axis rotation angle of the cluster entry mechanism 2; but it should be understood that the third limit switch is only preferred, and the Y-axis rotation angle of the cluster entry mechanism 2 is mainly limited by the length of the oblique slide groove, and the third limit switch may not be provided on the Y-axis rotation module 22; it should be noted that the sliding connection between the cam 222 and the cam seat 223 can adopt a variety of different methods, not limited to a single form; common sliding connection methods include parallel slide grooves, oblique slide grooves, vertical slide grooves, etc.; when designing, the most suitable sliding connection method can be selected according to the specific application scenario and needs, not just Figure 7 The situation shown in; Figure 7 The connection form between the cam 222 and the cam seat 223 described in the figure is only preferred.
