[0043] Figure 1 A structure diagram of a first state of the distance-adjusting and overturning device in one direction is shown. Figure 2 A structure diagram of a second state of the distance-adjusting and overturning device in one direction is shown. As shown in the figure, Figures 1 to 2 The distance-adjusting and overturning device includes a jig 100, a distance-adjusting mechanism 1 and an overturning and clamping mechanism 2. A plurality of jigs 100 are arranged at intervals along a first direction, and each jig 100 has a receiving cavity for accommodating a battery shell 200. The distance-adjusting mechanism 1 is used to drive all jigs 100 to move along the first direction, so that each jig 100 has a first working position arranged uniformly at a first interval and a second working position arranged uniformly at a second interval, wherein the first interval is smaller than the second interval. The overturning and clamping mechanism 2 is used to clamp the battery shell 200 in each jig 100 and drive the battery shell 200 to rotate around an axis extending along the first direction. The distance-adjusting and overturning device can automatically adjust the interval between each jig 100 without human intervention, which not only reduces the cost, but also improves the production efficiency.

[0044] In the present embodiment, the battery can be a cylindrical battery, and at this time, the receiving cavity of the jig 100 is also circular in shape, which is used to accommodate the battery shell 200. In other embodiments, the battery can also be a square shell battery or other shaped battery, and the receiving cavity of the jig 100 can match the shape of the battery shell 200, which is not limited herein.

[0045] Figure 3 A partial structure diagram of the distance-adjusting and overturning device is shown. As shown in the figure, Figure 3 In combination with Figure 2As shown, the distance-adjusting overturning device further comprises a lifting mechanism 3, the lifting mechanism 3 comprises a rack 31, a carrier 33 and a lifting driver 32, the carrier 33 is used for mounting the distance-adjusting mechanism 1, and the carrier 33 is vertically and liftably mounted on the rack 31, and the output end of the lifting driver 32 is in transmission connection with the carrier 33 and is used for driving the carrier 33 to vertically lift. After the overturning clamping mechanism 2 clamps the battery shell 200 in the jig 100, the lifting mechanism 3 drives the carrier 33 to lower the jig 100 connected with the distance-adjusting mechanism 1, so that the battery shell 200 is separated from the jig 100, so that the overturning clamping mechanism 2 clamps the battery shell 200 for overturning.

[0046] In the embodiment, the number of the lifting mechanisms 3 is two, the two lifting mechanisms 3 are arranged along the first direction at intervals, the carriers 33 of the two lifting mechanisms 3 are connected as a whole, and are both used for mounting the distance-adjusting mechanism 1. For example, the lifting driver 32 can be a pneumatic cylinder, which has low cost, good stability and long service life.

[0047] Figure 4 A structural schematic diagram of the distance-adjusting mechanism 1 in one direction provided by the embodiment of the application is shown. Figure 5 A structural schematic diagram of the distance-adjusting mechanism 1 in one direction provided by the embodiment of the application is shown. Figure 4 A partial enlarged view of the distance-adjusting mechanism 1 is shown. As shown in the figure, Figures 4 to 5 The distance-adjusting mechanism 1 comprises a distance-adjusting driver 11, a telescopic assembly 12 and distance-adjusting pieces 13, a plurality of distance-adjusting pieces 13 are uniformly and interval connected to the telescopic assembly 12 along the first direction, each distance-adjusting piece 13 is movably mounted on the carrier 33 along the first direction and is fixed with the jig 100, the distance-adjusting driver 11 is used for driving 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 to the first working position in which each jig 100 corresponding to each distance-adjusting piece 13 is uniformly arranged at the first interval or is lengthened to the second working position in which each jig 100 corresponding to each distance-adjusting piece 13 is uniformly arranged at the second interval, so as to realize automatic adjustment of the distance between the battery shells 200 in the jig 100 and reduce labor cost.

[0048] In the embodiment, the distance-adjusting driver 11 can be a pen-shaped pneumatic cylinder, which has low cost, compact structure, low requirement for installation space, can be conveniently mounted on the carrier 33 and improves the space utilization rate of the carrier 33.

[0049] In order to ensure stable movement of the distance-adjusting piece 13, the distance-adjusting mechanism 1 further comprises a sliding rail 14 extending along the first direction, the sliding rail 14 is fixed to the carrier 33, and each distance-adjusting piece 13 is in sliding connection with the sliding rail 14.

[0050] The telescopic assembly 12 comprises a plurality of telescopic pieces 121 and connecting pieces 122. The plurality of telescopic pieces 121 are sequentially connected along a first direction. Each telescopic piece 121 has an oblong hole 1211 extending along the first direction at one end and a through hole at the other end. The oblong hole 1211 of one of the two adjacent telescopic pieces 121 is in communication with the through hole of the other telescopic piece 121. The plurality of connecting pieces 122 are arranged at intervals along the first direction. Each connecting piece 122 passes through the corresponding oblong hole 1211 and through hole and is fixedly connected with the distance adjusting piece 13. In the embodiment, the connecting piece 122 is detachably connected with the distance adjusting piece 13 through threads, facilitating disassembly and assembly and improving assembly efficiency.

[0051] In the embodiment, the number of the distance adjusting drivers 11 is two. The output end of one distance adjusting driver 11 is connected with the distance adjusting piece 13 located at the outermost side of one end of all the distance adjusting pieces 13. The output end of the other distance adjusting driver 11 is connected with the distance adjusting piece 13 located at the outermost side of the other end of all the distance adjusting pieces 13. When the distance adjusting driver 11 drives the outermost distance adjusting piece 13 to move along the first direction, the outermost distance adjusting piece 13 drives the connecting piece 122 thereon to move synchronously. When the connecting piece 122 moves relative to the oblong hole 1211 to abut against the hole wall of the oblong hole 1211, the connecting piece 122 pushes the corresponding telescopic piece 121 to move together with the connecting piece 122. In this way, all the telescopic pieces 121 are finally moved to the limit position, so as to realize the elongation or shortening of the entire telescopic assembly 12.

[0052] In addition, the distance adjusting mechanism 1 can further comprise a limiting piece 15. At least one distance adjusting piece 13 of the two adjacent distance adjusting pieces 13 is adjacent to the other distance adjusting piece 13 and is provided with the limiting piece 15. In the state that the limiting piece 15 abuts against the corresponding distance adjusting piece 13, each jig 100 is located at the first working position. At this time, the power transmission between the telescopic pieces 121 is no longer completely dependent on the abutting force between the connecting piece 122 and the hole wall of the oblong hole 1211, but is transmitted through the abutting force between the limiting piece 15 and the distance adjusting piece 13. The limiting piece 15 can be used to adjust the value of the first interval. For example, the greater the length of the limiting piece 15 in the first direction, the greater the value of the first interval. The smaller the length of the limiting piece 15 in the first direction, the smaller the value of the first interval, so as to improve the versatility of the distance adjusting mechanism 1.

[0053] In order to realize automatic operation, the distance adjusting mechanism 1 further comprises a photoelectric sensor 16. Each distance adjusting piece 13 is provided with the photoelectric sensor 16. The photoelectric sensor 16 corresponds to the jig 100 and is used to detect whether the battery shell 200 is placed in the jig 100. Further, when the photoelectric sensor 16 detects that the battery shell 200 is placed in the jig 100, the distance adjusting mechanism 1 starts to adjust the interval between the battery shells 200. After the interval is adjusted to the required position, the turnover clamping mechanism 2 starts to clamp the battery shell 200 in the jig 100.

[0054] Figure 6 It shows Figure 1 A partial structural diagram of the intermediate pitch tilting device. (See diagram below.) Figure 6 As shown, the flipping clamping mechanism 2 includes a flipping frame 21, a clamp 22, and a flipping driver 23. The flipping frame 21 includes a frame body 211 and a rotating member 212 rotatably mounted on the frame body 211 about a first axis extending along a first direction. A plurality of clamps 22 are evenly mounted on the rotating member 212 at a second interval along the first direction. The clamps 22 are used to clamp the battery housing 200 in each fixture 100. The flipping driver 23 is mounted on the frame body 211 and is used to drive the rotating member 212 to rotate about the first axis.

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

[0056] Figure 7 A partial structural schematic diagram of the flipping clamping mechanism 2 provided in an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 7 As shown, the flipping clamping mechanism 2 also 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 flipping driver 23 drives the rotating member 212 to rotate until the trigger 24 on it triggers the first sensor 25, the flipping driver 23 stops; when the flipping driver 23 drives the rotating member 212 to rotate until the trigger 24 on it triggers the second sensor 26, the flipping driver 23 stops, thereby realizing the automated operation of the flipping clamping mechanism 2 and improving work efficiency.

[0057] In this embodiment, the line connecting the first sensor 25 and the rotating member 212 is perpendicular to the line connecting 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 A schematic diagram of the adjustable-distance flipping device provided in an embodiment of this application is shown from another direction. For example... Figure 8 As shown, the adjustable tilting device also includes a translation mechanism 4, which includes a translation driver 41 and a translation mounting bracket 42. The translation mounting bracket 42 is fixedly connected to the frame 211. The translation driver 41 drives the translation mounting bracket 42 to move the frame 211 along a first direction, thereby adjusting the position of the tilting clamping mechanism 2 in the first direction. For example, the translation driver 41 can be a servo motor, which has good stability and high control precision.

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

[0060] In order to ensure that the turnover clamping mechanism 2 moves stably in the first direction, the translation mechanism 4 further comprises a translation guide rail 43, and the translation mounting frame 42 is in sliding fit with the translation guide rail 43.

[0061] Taking the above distance-adjusting turnover device as an example, referring to Figures 1 to 8 shown, wherein the number of jigs 100 is 16, each jig 100 can place one battery shell 200, the loading manipulator (not shown in the figure) and the unloading manipulator (not shown in the figure) can grab 8 battery shells 200 at a time, and in the initial state, each jig 100 is in the first working position arranged uniformly at the first interval; the working process of the distance-adjusting turnover device is as follows:

[0062] 1) The translation driver 41 first drives the turnover clamping mechanism 2 to move to a position away from the distance-adjusting mechanism 1 and the jigs 100 connected thereto in the first direction, the loading manipulator grabs 8 battery shells 200 and places them into 8 jigs 100 among the 16 jigs 100; then the translation driver 41 drives the turnover clamping mechanism 2 to move to a position away from the distance-adjusting mechanism 1 and the jigs 100 connected thereto in the first direction, and the loading manipulator again grabs 8 battery shells 200 and places them into the other 8 jigs 100;

[0063] 2) After all the photoelectric sensors 16 in the distance-adjusting mechanism 1 detect that the battery shells 200 are placed in the jigs 100, the distance-adjusting driver 11 drives the distance-adjusting piece 13 to move in the first direction, so as to adjust each jig 100 to the second working position arranged uniformly at the second interval;

[0064] 3) The translation driver 41 drives the turnover clamping mechanism 2 to move to a position where each clamp 22 on the turnover clamping mechanism 2 corresponds to one jig 100, after the clamp 22 is opened, the turnover driver 23 drives the clamp 22 to rotate clockwise by 90°, so as to facilitate the clamp 22 to clamp the battery shell 200; then the lifting driver 32 drives the carrier 33 to descend, the battery shell 200 is separated from the jig 100, the turnover driver 23 drives the clamp 22 to rotate counterclockwise by 90°, thereby realizing 90° turnover of the battery shell 200, so that the battery shell 200 is in a horizontal state; then the distance-adjusting driver 11 drives the distance-adjusting piece 13 to move in the first direction to the first working position;

[0065] 4) The translation driver 41 first drives the 8 battery housings 200 clamped in the turnover clamping mechanism 2 to move to the unloading position, and the unloading manipulator grabs the 8 battery housings 200 to unload; the translation driver 41 drives another 8 battery housings 200 in the turnover clamping mechanism 2 to move to the unloading position, and the unloading manipulator grabs the other 8 battery housings 200 to unload;

[0066] 5) After each mechanism completes the action, the initial state is restored.

[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 solutions obtained by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation fall within the scope of the present application.
