[0043] Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of a first state in one direction of a distance adjustment and flipping device provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the structure of the second state of the distance adjustment flip device in one direction provided by the present application is shown. Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the distance adjustment and flipping device includes a fixture 100, a distance adjustment mechanism 1 and a flip clamping mechanism 2, wherein a plurality of fixtures 100 are arranged at intervals along a first direction, and each fixture 100 has a receiving cavity for receiving a battery housing 200; the distance adjustment mechanism 1 is used to drive all fixtures 100 to move along the first direction, so that each fixture 100 has a first working position uniformly arranged at a first spacing and a second working position uniformly arranged at a second spacing, wherein the first spacing is smaller than the second spacing; the flip clamping mechanism 2 is used to clamp the battery housing 200 in each fixture 100, and drive the battery housing 200 to rotate around an axis extending along the first direction. The distance adjustment and flipping device can automatically adjust the spacing between each fixture 100 without manual intervention, which can not only reduce costs but also improve production efficiency.

[0044] In this embodiment, the battery may be a cylindrical battery, in which case the shape of the receiving cavity of the fixture 100 is also circular, and the receiving cavity is used to receive the battery housing 200. In other embodiments, the battery may also be a square shell battery or a battery of other shapes, and the shape of the receiving cavity of the fixture 100 may match that of the battery housing 200, which is not limited here.

[0045] Figure 3 FIG. 1 shows a partial structural diagram of the pitch adjustment and flipping device provided by the present application. Figure 3 Combination Figure 2As shown, the distance adjustment flipping device also includes a lifting mechanism 3, which includes a frame 31, a platform 33 and a lifting driver 32. The platform 33 is used to install the distance adjustment mechanism 1, and the platform 33 is installed on the frame 31 in a vertical direction so as to be liftable. The output end of the lifting driver 32 is connected to the platform 33 and is used to drive the platform 33 to lift and lower in the vertical direction. After the flip clamping mechanism 2 clamps the battery housing 200 in the fixture 100, the lifting mechanism 3 drives the platform 33 to drive the fixture 100 connected to the distance adjustment mechanism 1 to descend, so that the battery housing 200 is separated from the fixture 100, so that the flip clamping mechanism 2 clamps the battery housing 200 for flipping.

[0046] In this embodiment, there are two lifting mechanisms 3, which are arranged at intervals along the first direction, and the platforms 33 of the two lifting mechanisms 3 are connected as a whole and are both used to install the distance adjustment mechanism 1. For example, the lifting driver 32 can use a cylinder, which has low cost, good stability, and long service life.

[0047] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of the distance adjustment mechanism 1 provided in an embodiment of the present application in one direction is shown. Figure 5 Shows Figure 4 A partial enlarged view of the middle distance adjustment mechanism 1. Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the distance adjusting mechanism 1 includes a distance adjusting driver 11, a telescopic assembly 12 and a distance adjusting piece 13, a plurality of distance adjusting pieces 13 are connected to the telescopic assembly 12 at uniform intervals along a first direction, and each distance adjusting piece 13 is movably mounted on a carrier 33 along the first direction and fixed with a fixture 100, the distance adjusting driver 11 is used to drive the outermost distance adjusting piece 13 among all the distance adjusting pieces 13 to move along the first direction, so that the telescopic assembly 12 is shortened along the first direction to a first working position where each fixture 100 corresponding to each distance adjusting piece 13 is uniformly arranged at a first spacing, or is extended to a second working position where each fixture 100 corresponding to each distance adjusting piece 13 is uniformly arranged at a second spacing, thereby realizing automatic adjustment of the distance between the battery casings 200 in the fixture 100 and reducing labor costs.

[0048] In this embodiment, the distance adjustment driver 11 can use a pen-shaped cylinder. The pen-shaped cylinder has low cost, compact structure, low installation space requirement, and can be easily installed on the carrier 33 to improve the space utilization of the carrier 33.

[0049] In order to ensure the stable movement of the distance adjusting member 13 , the distance adjusting mechanism 1 further includes a slide rail 14 extending along the first direction. The slide rail 14 is fixed to the carrier 33 , and each distance adjusting member 13 is slidably matched with the slide rail 14 .

[0050] The telescopic assembly 12 includes a plurality of telescopic members 121 and a connecting member 122, wherein the plurality of telescopic members 121 are sequentially connected along a first direction, one end of each telescopic member 121 has a long waist hole 1211 extending along the first direction, and the other end has a through hole, and the long waist hole 1211 of one telescopic member 121 of two adjacent telescopic members 121 is correspondingly connected to the through hole of the other telescopic member 121; the plurality of connecting members 122 are arranged at intervals along the first direction, and each connecting member 122 passes through the corresponding long waist hole 1211 and the through hole and is fixedly connected to the distance adjusting member 13. In this embodiment, the connecting member 122 is detachably connected to the distance adjusting member 13 by a thread, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly, and can improve assembly efficiency.

[0051] In this embodiment, there are two distance adjusting drivers 11, wherein the output end of one distance adjusting driver 11 is connected to the distance adjusting member 13 located at the outermost end of all the distance adjusting members 13, and the output end of the other distance adjusting driver 11 is connected to the distance adjusting member 13 located at the outermost end of all the distance adjusting members 13. When the distance adjusting driver 11 drives the outermost distance adjusting member 13 to move along the first direction, the outermost distance adjusting member 13 drives the connecting member 122 thereon to move synchronously, and when the connecting member 122 moves relative to the long waist hole 1211 to abut against the hole wall of the long waist hole 1211, the connecting member 122 will push the corresponding telescopic member 121 to move together with the connecting member 122, and so on, and finally all the telescopic members 121 are moved to the extreme position, thereby achieving the extension or shortening of the entire telescopic assembly 12.

[0052] In addition, the distance adjustment mechanism 1 may also include a limiter 15, and at least one of the two adjacent distance adjustment members 13 is installed with a limiter 15 on one side adjacent to the other distance adjustment member 13, and when the limiter 15 and its corresponding distance adjustment member 13 are in contact, each fixture 100 is located in the first working position. At this time, the power transmission between the telescopic members 121 no longer completely relies on the contact force between the connecting member 122 and the hole wall of the long waist hole 1211, but is transmitted through the contact force between the limiter 15 and the distance adjustment member 13. The limiter 15 can be used to adjust the value of the first spacing. For example, the larger the length of the limiter 15 in the first direction, the larger the value of the first spacing, and the smaller the length of the limiter 15 in the first direction, the smaller the value of the first spacing, so as to improve the versatility of the distance adjustment mechanism 1.

[0053] In order to realize automated operation, the distance adjustment mechanism 1 also includes a photoelectric sensor 16. Each distance adjustment member 13 is equipped with a photoelectric sensor 16. The photoelectric sensor 16 corresponds to the fixture 100 and is used to detect whether a battery housing 200 is placed in the fixture 100. Further, when the photoelectric sensor 16 detects that a battery housing 200 is placed in the fixture 100, the distance adjustment mechanism 1 starts to adjust the distance between the battery housings 200. When the distance is adjusted to the desired position, the flip clamping mechanism 2 starts to clamp the battery housing 200 in the fixture 100.

[0054] Figure 6 Shows Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the partial structure of the mid-range adjustment and flipping device. Figure 6 As shown, the flip clamping mechanism 2 includes a flip frame 21, a clamp 22 and a flip driver 23. The flip frame 21 includes a frame 211 and a rotating member 212 rotatably mounted on the frame 211 around a first axis extending along a first direction. A plurality of clamps 22 are evenly mounted on the rotating member 212 along the first direction at a second interval. The clamps 22 are used to clamp the battery casing 200 in each fixture 100. The flip driver 23 is mounted on the frame 211 and is used to drive the rotating member 212 to rotate around the first axis.

[0055] In this embodiment, the flip driver 23 may be a servo motor, which has good stability and can improve control accuracy.

[0056] Figure 7 FIG. 2 shows a partial structural diagram of the flip clamping mechanism 2 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 As shown, the flip clamping mechanism 2 further includes a position detection component, which includes a trigger 24, a first sensor 25, and a second sensor 26. The trigger 24 is mounted on the rotating member 212, and the first sensor 25 and the second sensor 26 are both mounted on the frame 211. The trigger 24 is used to trigger the first sensor 25 and the second sensor 26. When the flip driver 23 drives the rotating member 212 to rotate until the trigger 24 thereon triggers the first sensor 25, the flip driver 23 stops; when the flip driver 23 drives the rotating member 212 to rotate until the trigger 24 thereon triggers the second sensor 26, the flip driver 23 stops, thereby realizing the automatic operation of the flip clamping mechanism 2 and improving the working efficiency.

[0057] In this embodiment, the line between the first sensor 25 and the rotating member 212 is perpendicular to the line between the second sensor 26 and the rotating member 212 . In other words, the flipping clamping mechanism 2 can drive the battery housing 200 to flip 90°.

[0058] Figure 8 The schematic diagram of the structure of the distance adjustment flipping device provided in the embodiment of the present application in another direction is shown. Figure 8 As shown, the distance adjustment flipping device also includes a translation mechanism 4, which includes a translation driver 41 and a translation mounting frame 42. The translation mounting frame 42 is fixedly connected to the frame 211. The translation driver 41 is used to drive the translation mounting frame 42 to drive the frame 211 to move along the first direction to adjust the position of the flip clamping mechanism 2 in the first direction. For example, the translation driver 41 can use a servo motor, which has good stability and high control accuracy.

[0059] It should be noted that, in actual application, there is only one set of clamps 22 in the flip clamping mechanism 2. Figure 8 The illustrated flipping and clamping mechanism 2 has two groups of clamps 22 , one of which is shown in a state before flipping, and the other is shown in a state after flipping.

[0060] In order to ensure that the flip clamping mechanism 2 moves stably along the first direction, the translation mechanism 4 further includes a translation guide rail 43 , and the translation mounting frame 42 is slidably matched with the translation guide rail 43 .

[0061] Take the above-mentioned adjustable distance flipping device as an example, see Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the number of fixtures 100 is 16, each fixture 100 can hold a battery shell 200, a loading manipulator (not shown in the figure) and a unloading manipulator (not shown in the figure) can grab 8 battery shells 200 at a time, and in the initial state, each fixture 100 is in a first working position uniformly arranged at a first spacing; the working process of the adjustable distance flipping device is:

[0062] 1) The translation driver 41 first drives the flip clamping mechanism 2 to move to one side along the first direction to a position avoiding the distance adjustment mechanism 1 and the jig 100 connected thereto, and the loading robot grabs 8 battery shells 200 and places them in 8 of the 16 jigs 100; then the translation driver 41 drives the flip clamping mechanism 2 to move to the other side along the first direction to a position avoiding the distance adjustment mechanism 1 and the jig 100 connected thereto, and the loading robot grabs 8 battery shells 200 and places them in the other 8 jigs 100;

[0063] 2) After all the photoelectric sensors 16 in the distance adjustment mechanism 1 detect that the battery housing 200 is placed in the fixture 100, the distance adjustment driver 11 drives the distance adjustment member 13 to move along the first direction to adjust each fixture 100 to a second working position where the fixtures 100 are evenly arranged at a second spacing;

[0064] 3) The translation driver 41 drives the flip clamping mechanism 2 to move to a position where the clamp 22 thereon corresponds to each fixture 100 one by one. After the clamp 22 is opened, the flip driver 23 drives the clamp 22 to rotate 90° clockwise so that the clamp 22 can clamp the battery housing 200; then the lifting driver 32 drives the carrier 33 to descend, and the battery housing 200 is separated from the fixture 100. The flip driver 23 then drives the clamp 22 to rotate 90° counterclockwise, thereby realizing a 90° flip of the battery housing 200, so that the battery housing 200 is in a horizontal state; then, the distance adjustment driver 11 drives the distance adjustment member 13 to move along the first direction to the first working position;

[0065] 4) The translation driver 41 first drives the 8 battery shells 200 clamped in the flip clamping mechanism 2 to move to the unloading position, and the unloading manipulator grabs the 8 battery shells 200 for unloading; the translation driver 41 then drives the other 8 battery shells 200 in the flip clamping mechanism 2 to move to the unloading position, and the unloading manipulator grabs the other 8 battery shells 200 for unloading;

[0066] 5) After each mechanism completes its action, it returns to its initial state.

[0067] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present application. Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not limit the present application in any form, and any technical solution obtained by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation falls within the protection scope of the present application.
