Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery gripper technology, and in particular to a multifunctional gripper for new energy batteries. Background Technology

[0002] New energy batteries, also known as power batteries, are batteries that provide power to transportation vehicles, generally in contrast to small batteries that provide energy to portable electronic devices. Based on different battery reaction principles, they can be divided into lead-acid power batteries, nickel-metal hydride power batteries, lithium-ion power batteries, and so on. Today, with the global focus on developing new energy industries such as electric vehicles and energy storage batteries, lithium batteries, as a recognized ideal energy storage component, have received greater attention.

[0003] In existing technologies, the packaging of new energy batteries after production is mostly done manually, which is labor-intensive, inefficient, and sometimes results in omissions or misplacement.

[0004] It should be noted that the above content falls within the inventor's technical knowledge and does not necessarily constitute prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a multi-functional gripper for new energy batteries to address the aforementioned technical problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a multifunctional gripper for new energy batteries, comprising: The frame includes a drive shaft, which is mounted on the top of the frame and rotatably mounted on the robotic arm. The adjustment mechanism includes a first rotary drive device, a ball screw, a movable frame, a second rotary drive device, a ball spline pair, gears, a separator, and racks. The first rotary drive device is mounted on the frame, and the ball screw is rotatably mounted on the frame. There are two ball screws symmetrically arranged. The output end of the first rotary drive device is drivenly connected to one of the ball screws. The movable frame is slidably engaged on the frame and connected to the output end of the ball screw. The second rotary drive device is mounted on one of the movable frames. Both output ends of the ball spline pair are rotatably mounted on the movable frame and drivenly connected to the ball spline pair. Gears are installed on both output ends of the ball spline pair. Both separators are slidably engaged on the movable frame, and racks are installed on the separators. Both racks are meshed with gears. A gripping mechanism for holding battery separators and polystyrene sheets includes a first linear actuator, a first hinge block, a second hinge block, a vertical moving frame, a second linear actuator, a suction frame, a suction cup, and a third linear actuator. The first linear actuator is mounted on the separating frame, and the output end of the first linear actuator is hinged to the first hinge block. The separating frame is hinged to the second hinge block, and the first hinge block and the second hinge block are hinged together. The vertical moving frame is slidably engaged with the moving frame. The second linear actuator is mounted on the moving frame, and the output end of the second linear actuator is connected to the vertical moving frame. The suction frame is slidably engaged with the separating frame, and a suction cup is mounted on the suction frame. The third linear actuator is mounted on the separating frame, and the output end of the third linear actuator is connected to the suction frame.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the robotic arm can move the frame to a suitable position and rotate via the drive shaft. The first rotary drive device in the adjustment mechanism drives the ball screw to rotate, thereby enabling the two movable frames mounted on the output ends of the two symmetrically arranged ball screws to move in opposite directions along the X-axis. This facilitates the gripping mechanism to clamp and grasp the battery separator from both sides. The second rotary drive device mounted on one of the movable frames can drive the ball spline pair to rotate. The ball spline pair allows the two movable frames to drive the gears even when separated. The gears at both ends of the rotating ball spline pair can drive the racks on the two separated frames to move, thus enabling the same movable frame to move. The two separators on the rack can move in opposite directions along the Y-axis, facilitating the clamping mechanism to hold battery separators of different specifications and controlling the different spacing between the suction cups to pick up polystyrene sheets of different lengths. During packing, the robotic arm controls the rack to move to the appropriate position. After the adjustment mechanism adjusts the appropriate spacing, negative pressure is generated at the suction cups in the gripping mechanism to pick up the polystyrene sheets. After one side is picked up, the robotic arm controls the rotating shaft to rotate 180°, and then the two suction cups on the other side of the moving rack pick up the polystyrene sheets. During picking up, the suction rack limits the position of the polystyrene sheets. After both polystyrene sheets are picked up, they are moved to the sides of the storage box for placement. Then, the rack is controlled to move to the battery separator... After the membrane placement mechanism adjusts the appropriate interval, the output end of the first linear actuator in the gripping mechanism moves downward, causing the hinge blocks one and two to change from an approximately straight shape to a V-shape. The approximately straight shape prevents the V-shaped protrusion from turning to the other end, allowing the V-shaped protrusion to support and lift the openings at both ends of the battery separator. Then, the control frame adjusts the spacing between the two battery separators from the conveyor to a suitable spacing within the storage box to fit the polystyrene board. The two battery separators are then placed into the storage box, where they are supported and limited by the polystyrene boards on both sides. Next, the third linear controller controls the suction cups on the suction rack to move to the appropriate position, continuing to suck up the polystyrene board and transport it... The batteries are then placed into the storage box, thus completing the transport and packing process. The packing method described above applies to storage boxes where the number of batteries loaded in each row is even. When the number of batteries loaded in each row is odd, the first few even rows are still loaded in the same way. When loading the last battery, the second linear actuator controls the vertical moving frame to move downwards. After the vertical moving frame moves downwards, it coordinates with the first rotary drive device to adjust the distance between the two moving frames in the X-axis direction. This allows the bottom ends of the two symmetrical vertical moving frames to be inserted into the openings at both ends of the battery separator for support and lifting. This allows the last odd number of battery separators to be transported into the storage box without any collision between the gripping mechanism and the storage box.

[0008] Optionally, the first rotary drive device is connected to one end of one of the ball screws via a belt drive assembly, and the second rotary drive device is connected to one end of the ball spline pair via a belt drive assembly. Both the first rotary drive device and the second rotary drive device are located between the two moving frames.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the first rotary drive device and the second rotary drive device can be installed between the two moving frames, reducing the overall size of the frame and making the structure more compact.

[0010] Optionally, a guide rail is installed on the vertical moving frame, and a slider is installed on the moving frame. The guide rail and the slider are slidably engaged. The second linear actuator is located on the side of the vertical moving frame away from the guide rail. A slider is installed on the separating frame, and a guide rail is installed on the suction frame. The slider is slidably engaged with the guide rail. The third linear actuator is located on the side of the suction frame away from the guide rail.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding engagement between guide rail one and slider one, and slider two and guide rail two, enables the vertical moving frame to be slidably engaged on the moving frame, and the suction frame to be slidably engaged on the separating frame. It is only necessary to disconnect the connection between the second linear actuator and the vertical moving frame and the third linear actuator and the suction frame, which facilitates the replacement of the vertical moving frame and the suction frame. At the same time, by setting guide rail one and the second linear actuator on both sides of the vertical moving frame, and guide rail two and the third linear actuator on both sides of the suction frame, the compactness of the entire device is further improved and the volume is reduced.

[0012] Optionally, the movable frame is equipped with guide rail three and guide rail four, and the two separation frames are respectively equipped with slider three and slider four. Slider three is slidably engaged with guide rail three, and guide rail four is slidably engaged with slider four.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, through the sliding engagement of slider three and guide rail three, and the sliding engagement of guide rail four and slider four, the racks on the two separation frames can be engaged in opposite sliding engagement when driven by gears.

[0014] Optionally, the first linear actuator is equipped with a pressure rod, which is slidably engaged with the separator, and the output end of the pressure rod is hinged to the hinge block.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the output end of the first linear actuator is protected, avoiding potential damage to the output end of the first linear actuator when the hinge block 1 and hinge block 2 are bent from an approximately straight shape to a V shape, and reducing the volume of the first linear actuator.

[0016] Optionally, hooks are installed on the vertical moving frame.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the vertical moving frame can be lifted and raised from both ends of the battery separator by hooks at the openings at both ends of the battery separator.

[0018] Optionally, a triangular fixing frame is installed on the movable frame, and both the first and second linear actuators are installed on the triangular fixing frame.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to ensure that the vertical moving frame and the separating frame are on the same plane, and to avoid collision between the vertical moving frame and the battery separator when the separator clamps the battery separator.

[0020] Optionally, the suction holder is equipped with a suction nozzle, which is connected to the suction cup.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the suction nozzle is connected to an external vacuum pump or negative pressure pump, thereby generating negative pressure when the suction cup picks up the benzene plate.

[0022] Optionally, a guide rail is installed on the frame, and a slider is installed on each of the movable frames, with the slider slidingly engaged with the guide rail.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding engagement between slider five and guide rail five makes the movement of the moving frame on the machine frame more stable, and the weight of the moving frame is no longer borne by the ball screw.

[0024] Optionally, there are two sliders three and two sliders four, and the two racks are respectively installed on slider three and slider four.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the size of slider three and slider four is reduced, while the rack remains stable during installation and driving of slider three or slider four.

[0026] This technical solution has at least the following beneficial effects: 1. By installing ball screws on the frame, the first rotary drive device can drive two symmetrically arranged moving frames to move in the X-axis direction, thereby clamping and fixing both ends of the battery separator and accommodating battery separators of different lengths. The second rotary drive device installed on one of the moving frames drives two separating frames on the moving frame to move in the Y-axis direction, so that after clamping the battery separator, it can be placed according to the actual required battery separator spacing and can clamp battery separators of different diameters. Ultimately, it realizes the function of packaging without contacting the product itself, filling the gap in domestic battery separator packaging. 2. By setting up a suction frame and suction cups, the polystyrene board can be sucked up and placed in the storage box before and after the gripping mechanism grips the battery separator. Similarly, by adjusting the movement of the separation frame, the two suction cups on the same moving frame can be spaced at different intervals, so that polystyrene boards of different lengths can be sucked up and placed into the storage box under the limit of the suction frame. 3. By installing the first rotary drive device and the second rotary drive device on the frame through belt drive assembly one and belt drive assembly two, as well as the setting of guide rail one and slider one, the advantages of compact structure of each part on the frame, small overall frame size and easy replacement of gripping device are achieved.

[0028] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be practiced in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 11 This application provides a multi-functional gripper for new energy batteries, including: The frame 1 includes a drive shaft 11, which is mounted on the top of the frame 1 and is rotatably mounted on the robotic arm. Adjustment mechanism 2 includes a first rotary drive device 21, a ball screw 22, a moving frame 23, a second rotary drive device 24, a ball spline pair 25, a gear 26, a separating frame 27, and a rack 28. Both the first rotary drive device 21 and the second rotary drive device 24 can be servo motors. The first rotary drive device 21 is mounted on the frame 1, and the ball screw 22 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1. Two ball screws 22 are symmetrically arranged, and the output end of the first rotary drive device 21 is connected to one of the ball screws 22. The moving frame... 23 is slidably engaged on the frame 1. The movable frame 23 is connected to the output end of the ball screw 22. The second rotary drive device 24 is installed on one of the movable frames 23. Both output ends of the ball spline pair 25 are rotatably mounted on the movable frame 23. The output end of the second rotary drive device 24 is connected to the ball spline pair 25 for transmission. Both output ends of the ball spline pair 25 are equipped with gears 26. Both separation frames 27 are slidably engaged on the movable frame 23. The separation frames 27 are equipped with racks 28. Both racks 28 are meshed with gears 26. The gripping mechanism 3 is used to clamp the battery separator 4 and the polystyrene plate 5. The battery separator 4 is a protective film covering the battery. It includes a first linear actuator 31, a first hinge block 32, a second hinge block 33, a vertical moving frame 34, a second linear actuator 35, a suction frame 36, a suction cup 37, and a third linear actuator 38. The first linear actuator 31, the second linear actuator 35, and the third linear actuator 38 can all be electric cylinders and are all connected to the first rotary drive device 21 and the second rotary drive device 24 through a signal processor. The first linear actuator 31 is mounted on the separating frame 27. The output end of the device is hinged to a hinge block 32, and the separation frame 27 is hinged to a hinge block 33. The hinge block 32 and the hinge block 33 are hinged together. The vertical moving frame 34 is slidably engaged with the moving frame 23. The second linear actuator 35 is mounted on the moving frame 23. The output end of the second linear actuator 35 is connected to the vertical moving frame 34. The suction frame 36 is slidably engaged with the separation frame 27. The suction frame 36 is equipped with a suction cup 37. The input end of the suction cup 37 is connected to a vacuum pump or a negative pressure pump. The third linear actuator 38 is mounted on the separation frame 27. The output end of the third linear actuator 38 is connected to the suction frame 36.

[0030] The robotic arm can move the frame 1 to a suitable position and rotate via the drive shaft 11. The first rotary drive device 21 in the adjustment mechanism 2 drives the ball screw 22 to rotate, thereby enabling the two movable frames 23 installed at the output ends of the two symmetrically arranged ball screws 22 to move in opposite directions along the X-axis, facilitating the gripping mechanism 3 to clamp and grasp the battery separator 4 from both sides. The second rotary drive device 23 installed on one of the movable frames 23 can drive the ball spline pair 25 to rotate. The ball spline pair 25 allows the two movable frames 23 to drive the gear 26 even when separated. The gears 26 at both ends of the rotating ball spline pair 25 can drive the racks 28 on the two separated frames 27 to move, thereby enabling the same movable frame to move in opposite directions. The two separating frames 27 on the frame 23 can move in opposite directions along the Y-axis, facilitating the clamping mechanism 3 to clamp battery separators 4 of different specifications and to control the different spacing between the suction cups 37 to pick up polystyrene sheets 5 of different lengths. During packing, the robotic arm controls the frame 1 to move to a suitable position. After the adjusting mechanism 2 adjusts the appropriate spacing, negative pressure is generated at the suction cups 37 in the gripping mechanism 3 to pick up the polystyrene sheets 5. After one side is picked up, the robotic arm controls the rotating shaft 11 to rotate 180°, and then the two suction cups 37 on the other side of the moving frame 23 pick up the polystyrene sheets 5. During picking up, the suction frame 36 limits the position of the polystyrene sheets 5. After both polystyrene sheets 5 are picked up, the polystyrene sheets 5 are moved to the sides of the storage box for placement. Then, the frame is controlled again. 1. Move to the placement position of battery separator 4. After the adjustment mechanism 2 adjusts the appropriate interval, the output end of the first linear actuator 31 in the gripping mechanism 3 is controlled to move downward, so that the hinge block 1 32 and hinge block 2 33 change from the original near-straight shape to a V-shape. The near-straight shape avoids the V-shaped protrusion turning to the other end, so the V-shaped protrusion can support and lift the openings at both ends of the battery separator 4. Then, the control frame 1 adjusts the distance between the two battery separators 4 from the conveyor to a suitable distance in the storage box that matches the polystyrene board 5. After the two battery separators 4 are placed in the storage box, the battery separators 4 are supported and limited by the polystyrene boards 5 on both sides. Then, the third linear controller 31 controls the suction cup 37 on the suction rack 36 to move to a suitable position and continue to suck up the upper part. The polystyrene plate 5 is transported to the storage box, thus completing the handling and packing of the batteries. The above packing method is applicable to the storage box when the number of batteries loaded in each row is even. When the number of batteries loaded in each row is odd, the first few even groups are still loaded in the above manner. When loading the last one, the second linear actuator 35 controls the vertical moving frame 34 to move downward. After the vertical moving frame 34 moves downward, it cooperates with the first rotary drive device 21 to control the two moving frames 23 to adjust the distance between the two moving frames 23 in the X-axis direction, so that the bottom ends of the two symmetrical vertical moving frames 34 can also be inserted into the openings at both ends of the battery separator 4 for bearing and lifting. In this way, the last odd number of battery separators 4 can be transported into the storage box, and the gripping mechanism 3 will not collide with the storage box elsewhere.

[0031] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first rotary drive device 21 is connected to one end of one of the ball screws 22 via a belt drive assembly 601, and the second rotary drive device 24 is connected to one end of the ball spline pair 25 via a belt drive assembly 602. Both the first rotary drive device 21 and the second rotary drive device 24 are located between the two moving frames 23.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, the first rotary drive device 21 and the second rotary drive device 24 can be installed between the two moving frames 23, reducing the volume of the entire frame 1 and making the structure more compact.

[0033] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 A guide rail 603 is installed on the vertical moving frame 34, and a slider 604 is installed on the moving frame 23. The guide rail 603 and the slider 604 are slidably engaged. The second linear actuator 35 is located on the vertical moving frame 34 on the side away from the guide rail 603. A slider 605 is installed on the separating frame 27, and a guide rail 606 is installed on the suction frame 36. The slider 605 and the guide rail 606 are slidably engaged. The third linear actuator 38 is located on the suction frame 36 on the side away from the guide rail 606.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding engagement between guide rail 1 603 and slider 1 604, and between slider 2 605 and guide rail 2 606, enables the vertical moving frame 34 to be slidably engaged on the moving frame 23, and the suction frame 36 to be slidably engaged on the separating frame 27. Furthermore, it is only necessary to disconnect the connection between the second linear actuator 35 and the vertical moving frame 34, and the connection between the third linear actuator 38 and the suction frame 36, facilitating the replacement of the vertical moving frame 34 and the suction frame 36. Simultaneously, by placing guide rail 1 603 and the second linear actuator 35 on both sides of the vertical moving frame 34, and guide rail 2 606 and the third linear actuator 38 on both sides of the suction frame 6, the compactness of the entire device is further improved, and its volume is reduced.

[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, through the sliding engagement of slider 3 609 and guide rail 3 607, and the sliding engagement of guide rail 4 608 and slider 4 610, the racks 28 on the two separation frames 27 can be engaged in opposite directions when driven by gear 26.

[0037] In one embodiment, the first linear actuator 31 is equipped with a pressing rod 611, which is slidably engaged with the separator 27, and the output end of the pressing rod 611 is hinged to the hinge block 32.

[0038] By adopting the above technical solution, the output end of the first linear actuator 31 is protected, avoiding damage to the output end of the first linear actuator 31 that may be caused when the hinge block 32 and the hinge block 33 are bent from an approximately straight shape to a V shape, and reducing the volume of the first linear actuator 31.

[0039] In one embodiment, a hook 612 is installed on the vertical moving frame 34.

[0040] By adopting the above technical solution, the vertical moving frame 34 can be lifted and raised from both ends of the battery separator 4 by hooks 612 at the openings at both ends of the battery separator 4.

[0041] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 A triangular fixing bracket 613 is installed on the movable frame 23, and the slider 604 and the second linear actuator 35 are both installed on the triangular fixing bracket 613.

[0042] By adopting the above technical solution, in order to make the vertical moving frame 34 and the separating frame 27 on the same plane, the vertical moving frame 34 is prevented from colliding with the battery separator 4 when the separating machine 27 clamps the battery separator 4.

[0044] By adopting the above technical solution, the suction nozzle 614 is connected to an external vacuum pump or negative pressure pump, so that negative pressure can be generated when the suction cup 37 sucks up the benzene plate 5.

[0045] In one embodiment, a guide rail 615 is installed on the frame 1, and a slider 616 is installed on each of the movable frames 23. The slider 616 is slidably engaged with the guide rail 615.

[0046] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding engagement between slider 5 616 and guide rail 5 615 makes the movement of the movable frame 23 on the frame 1 more stable, and the weight of the movable frame 23 is no longer borne by the ball screw 22.

[0047] In one embodiment, there are two sliders 3 609 and two sliders 4 610, and two racks 28 are respectively installed on slider 3 609 and slider 4 610.
