[0047] Example 1

[0048] according to Fig. 9 As shown, this embodiment provides a battery mobile locking clamp device, including a locking mechanism 10 capable of locking the battery immobile, an unlocking mechanism 20 capable of unlocking the locking mechanism 10 is arranged on both sides of the locking mechanism 10, and a pushing mechanism 30 capable of locking the locking mechanism 10 and a pressure block lifting mechanism 40 capable of maintaining the locking mechanism 10 in a locked state are arranged at the end of the locking mechanism 10.

[0049] In this embodiment, the battery is placed in the locking mechanism 10 and the locking mechanism 10 is locked by the pushing mechanism 30, so that the battery is locked, the shaking of the battery during transportation and testing is avoided, the accuracy of battery positioning is effectively improved, and the subsequent formation, capacity separation and other processes are prevented from poor contact between the probe and the battery, and the stability of the test results is effectively improved; then the locking state is maintained by the pressure block lifting mechanism 40 to ensure that the battery remains stable when moving; when unlocking is required, the unlocking mechanism 20 is combined with the locking mechanism 10 to unlock, and then the battery is loaded or unloaded.

[0050] See also Figure 1-8 The locking mechanism 10 includes an end plate, a side plate and a partition plate 14. The end plate and the side plate are connected to form a rectangular frame of the locking mechanism 10. A plurality of partition plates 14 are arranged inside the rectangular frame. Both ends of the partition plates 14 are provided with fixing holes 141. Figure 1-3 As shown, every two adjacent partitions 14 can form a plurality of enclosed cavities 16 that can accommodate batteries, and the plurality of partitions 14 are connected by passing through the guide rod 13, and the partitions 14 can slide on the surface of the guide rod 13, and both ends of the guide rod 13 are connected to the end plates. The adjacent partitions 14 positioned on the guide rod 13 are merged together by external force to form an enclosed cavity 16 for locking the battery, and can also be separated by an external force by a certain distance, and this certain distance is a cavity 16 for placing or removing the battery without causing the battery to fall, and the external force refers to the locking action brought by the pushing mechanism 30 or the unlocking action brought by the unlocking mechanism 20.

[0051] The end plate includes a first end plate 11, a connecting plate 12 is provided between the first end plate 11 and the partition 14, the connecting plate 12 is connected to the partition 14, and has no connection relationship with the first end plate 11, the first end plate 11 is provided with a through hole 111, the pushing mechanism 30 contacts the connecting plate 12 by passing through the through hole 111, the pushing mechanism 30 provides thrust, which is transmitted to the partition 14 through the connecting plate 12, and the partition 14 moves toward one end by the thrust, thereby compressing the cavity 16 space formed between the partitions 14, so that the battery cannot shake in the cavity 16, thereby achieving the purpose of locking the locking mechanism 10.

[0052] The unlocking mechanism 20 includes a base plate 21, an unlocking assembly 22 arranged on the top of the base plate 21, and a cover plate 23 covering the top of the unlocking assembly 22. A convex strip 231 is provided at the bottom of the cover plate 23. The convex strip 231 engages with a groove 222a in the unlocking assembly, so that the unlocking assembly 22 can move in a straight line on the base plate, ensuring the stable operation of the unlocking assembly 22.

[0053] The unlocking assembly 22 includes an unlocking head 221 and an unlocking block 222. The unlocking head 221 is connected to the unlocking block 222. The unlocking head 221 is engaged with the fixing hole 141. The unlocking head 221 is connected to the unlocking block 222, so that the partitions 14 are unfolded and unlocked in turn. The cavity 16 formed by the unlocked partitions 14 has the same space size.

[0054] The unlocking block 222 has a groove 222a at the top, and is further provided with a hook 222c and a limiting groove 222d. The hook 222c and the limiting groove 222d can be engaged with each other to connect a plurality of unlocking blocks 222 to form the entire unlocking assembly 22. The number of the unlocking heads 221 and the unlocking blocks 222 is the same, and the number of the unlocking heads 221 is the same as the number of the partitions 14. The maximum space of the cavity 16 can be reached by engaging the hook 222c and the limiting groove 222d, and the maximum space of the cavity 16 is in the unlocked state.

[0055] The unlocking head 221 is fixed to the unlocking body 222e of the unlocking block 222 by bolts. Its shape is a "convex" shape, and the surface edge is chamfered. The purpose is to make the unlocking head 221 more convenient and efficient to fit with the fixing hole 141 of the locking mechanism 10, thereby ensuring the stability of the unlocking action.

[0056] The unlocking mechanism 20 further includes an action component 24, which includes a first cylinder 241 and a connecting block 242. The connecting block 242 is connected to the unlocking block 222 at one end of the unlocking component 22. The telescopic end of the first cylinder 241 is connected to the connecting block 242, and the compression and expansion of the unlocking component 22 are achieved by the telescopic movement of the first cylinder 241. When the unlocking head 221 is engaged with the fixing hole 141, the first cylinder 241 provides power to unlock the locking mechanism 10 in the locked state, so that the multiple partitions 14 are separated and the space of the cavity 16 reaches the maximum. At this time, the locking mechanism 10 completes the unlocking action.

[0057] In order to better fix the unlocking block 222, end blocks are arranged at both ends of the unlocking assembly 22, and the end blocks are divided into a first end block 251 and a second end block 252. The end blocks are both fixed to the top of the bottom plate 21 and to the lower surface of the cover plate 23. The end blocks play the role of supporting the cover plate 23. The top of the first end block 251 is provided with a groove, and the groove is engaged with the convex strip 231 of the cover plate 23. The first end block 251 is provided with a limiting groove 222d so that it can be connected with the hook 222c of the unlocking block 222 at one end of the unlocking assembly 22. The second end block 252 is fixed to the other end of the unlocking assembly 22, thereby forming the entire unlocking assembly 22. The first end block 251 fixes the unlocking block 222 at one end, so that when the multiple partitions 14 are unlocked and unfolded, keeping one end fixed can make all the cavities 16 reach the maximum limit and keep the spacing of the cavities 16 consistent.

[0058] In order to enable the unlocking component 22 to be compressed and expanded more smoothly, a slide rail 26 is provided at the bottom of the unlocking component 22 in this embodiment. The slide rail 26 is arranged on the top of the bottom plate 21, and a protrusion 222b is correspondingly provided at the bottom of the unlocking block 222. The protrusion 222b cooperates with the slide rail 26, so that the compression and expansion of the unlocking component 22 are smoother and the resistance is reduced.

[0059] The unlocking mechanism 20 is further provided with a second cylinder 27, which is fixed at the middle position of the bottom plate 21, and provides the unlocking mechanism 20 with the power of pushing and pulling in and out. When the locking mechanism 10 needs to be unlocked, the second cylinder 27 moves the unlocking mechanism 20 from both sides toward the locking mechanism 10, so that the unlocking head 221 is engaged with the fixing hole 141. When the unlocking is completed, the second cylinder 27 moves the unlocking mechanism 20 to both sides away from the locking mechanism 10, so that the unlocking head 221 is separated from the fixing hole 141.

[0060] The pushing mechanism 30 includes a pushing cylinder 31 and a blocking cylinder 32, and the pushing cylinder 31 and the blocking cylinder 32 are respectively arranged at the ends of the locking mechanism 10, and the pushing cylinder 31 is arranged on the side of the first end plate 11, and the telescopic end of the pushing cylinder 31 is provided with a pushing column 34, and the pushing column 34 can pass through the through hole 111 of the first end plate 11 and connect with the connecting plate 12. At this time, the thrust is provided by the pushing cylinder 31 to compress the cavity 16; the blocking cylinder 32 is provided with a blocking block 33, and the blocking block 33 blocks the other end so that the cavity 16 can be compressed at this end.

[0061] The push cylinder 31 of this embodiment is provided with a plurality of push columns 34, which are cylindrical in shape. When the push cylinder 31 is pushed forward, the push columns 34 are driven to move synchronously, and the position and size of the push columns 34 match the through holes 111 of the first end plate 11, so that the push columns 34 pass through the first end plate 11, contact the connecting plate 12, and continue to apply thrust to the partition 14. At the same time, the blocking cylinder 32 provides an opposite force through the blocking block 33, and the shape and size of the blocking block 33 match the end of the rectangular frame to ensure that there is sufficient contact area to achieve the blocking effect. The two cooperate with each other to ensure that the rectangular frame position of the locking mechanism 10 is fixed, and the partition 14 is pushed, based on the inward displacement of the guide rod 13, until the internal cavity 16 of the partition 14 is compressed to a minimum, thereby achieving the purpose of locking the locking mechanism 10, and all move to one end of the rectangular frame.

[0062] The pressing block lifting mechanism 40 includes a pressing block 41 and a lifting mechanism 42. The pressing block 41 is placed in a rectangular frame in a locked state of the locking mechanism 10 through the lifting mechanism 42 to maintain the locked state of the locking mechanism 10 and ensure that the battery position does not change during the movement.

[0063] The top of the pressing block 41 is provided with a fastening groove 411, and the bottom is provided with a U-shaped groove 412. The lifting mechanism 42 includes a bracket 422, and the push-pull cylinder 423 and the lifting cylinder 421 are fixed on both sides of the bracket 422. The clamping cylinder 424 is fixed below the lifting cylinder 421 and connected thereto. The clamping cylinder 424 is also provided with a clamping claw 424a, and the clamping claw 424a is engaged with the fastening groove 411 to move the pressing block 41.

[0064] The fastening groove 411 and the clamping claw 424a cooperate with each other, and the specific cooperation is as follows: when the lifting mechanism 42 needs to grab the pressure block 41, first, the push-pull cylinder 423 pushes the lifting mechanism 42 forward to the top of the pressure block 41, and then the lifting cylinder 421 drives the clamping cylinder 424 to move downward to the position of the fastening groove 411 at the top of the pressure block 41. At this time, the clamping cylinder 424 is in a clamping state, and starts to move slowly to drive the clamping claw 424a to open to the left and right sides synchronously. When the clamping cylinder 424 moves to a fully open state, the clamping claw 424a is just connected to the fastening groove 411, and then the lifting cylinder 421 starts to move upward, synchronously driving the clamping claw 424a to move upward. However, due to the blocking effect of the fastening groove 411, the pressure block 41 is moved upward. At the same time, when the transfer of the pressure block is completed, the push-pull cylinder 423 drives the lifting mechanism 42 back to the initial position to avoid interfering with subsequent battery loading.

[0065] Similarly, when the pressure block 41 needs to be placed, first, the push mechanism 3 pushes the locking mechanism 10 to one side. At this time, there is space inside the rectangular frame for placing the pressure block 41. The push-pull cylinder 423 pushes the lifting mechanism 42 and the pressure block 41 forward to the top of the space. Then, the lifting cylinder 421 moves downward, driving the clamping claw 424a and the pressure block 41 to move downward synchronously until the pressure block 41 is placed in the internal space of the rectangular frame. At this time, the clamping cylinder 424 contracts inward, driving the clamping claw 44 to move inward synchronously, so that it is free from the constraint of the fastening groove 411. Then, the lifting cylinder 421 and the push-pull cylinder 423 drive the lifting mechanism 42 to reset, completing the placement of the pressure block 41. The pressure block 41 is placed in the internal space of the rectangular frame by the pressure block lifting mechanism 40, ensuring that the partition 12 no longer moves on the guide rod 13. At this time, the battery is completely fixed in the cavity 16 and compressed to the minimum. The battery will not shake inside the cavity 16 and remains locked.

[0066] A U-shaped groove 412 is provided at the bottom of the pressing block 41, and its position and size are adapted to the pushing column 34 of the pushing mechanism 30. The purpose is that after the battery loading is completed, the pushing cylinder 31 pushes the connecting plate 12 forward to compress the partition 14 to one side, locking the locking mechanism 10, and the lifting mechanism 42 then places the pressing block 41 in the excess space after the locking mechanism 10 is compressed. The pushing column 34 can pass through the pressing block 41, and the two do not interfere with each other, thereby completing the maintenance of the locking state of the locking mechanism 10.

[0069] In order to place the unlocking mechanism 20, the pushing mechanism 30 and the pressure block lifting mechanism 40 in the battery mobile locking clamp device, the present embodiment sets a mounting frame 80 on both sides of the assembly line body 70, and the mounting frame 80 is respectively provided with a mounting platform 81 on both sides of the assembly line body 70, the pushing mechanism 30 is installed on the mounting platform 81, the pressure block lifting mechanism 40 is installed on the mounting frame 80 on one side of the first end plate 11, and the unlocking mechanism 20 is installed on a horizontal frame (not shown in the figure) between the two mounting platforms 81, and the horizontal frame is provided with a cylinder capable of vertically moving the unlocking mechanism 20.

[0070] The assembly line body 70 includes a water flow rack 71, a driving motor 72 is provided on the water flow rack 71, and multiple photoelectric sensors 75 are provided on both sides of the water flow rack 71. The spacing between the photoelectric sensors 75 can keep a safe distance between the locking mechanism 10 and the next locking mechanism 10. The locking mechanism 10 is placed on the water flow rack 71, and the battery is transported along the water flow rack 71 by the driving motor 72. The stop cylinder 74 is fixed on the cross brace 73. Multiple locking mechanisms 10 move forward stably along the water flow rack 71, and the driving motor 72 provides power for moving the water flow rack 71. The stop cylinder 74 transmits signals through the photoelectric sensor 75 to prevent and release the locking mechanism 10, thereby ensuring that the battery loading or unloading operation is orderly.

[0071] In this embodiment, a lifting mechanism 90 is further provided below the assembly line body 70. The lifting mechanism 90 is also disposed on a horizontal frame (not shown) between two mounting platforms 81. The lifting mechanism 90 is used to lift the locking mechanism 10 so that it leaves the assembly line body 70 and is at the same height as the pushing mechanism 30.

[0072] The lifting mechanism 90 includes a fixed plate 92, which is fixed on a horizontal frame between two mounting platforms 81. The fixed plate 92 is used to fix a lifting cylinder 91. The telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 91 is connected to a lifting plate 93. The lifting plate 93 is arranged above the fixed plate 92.

The four corners of the lifting plate 93 are provided with bearings (not shown in the figure). The guide columns 94 pass through the lifting plate 93 through the bearings. A top column 95 is arranged on the top of the lifting plate 93. The lifting plate 93 is lifted by the lifting cylinder 91, so that the lifting plate 93 moves vertically at the limit of the guide column 94. The lifting plate 93 contacts the locking mechanism 10 through the top column 95, and then the locking mechanism 10 is lifted away from the assembly line body 70 and the jacking mechanism 30 at the same height, ensuring the stability of the lifting locking mechanism 10.

[0073] The working principle of the battery mobile lock clamp system of this embodiment is as follows:

[0074] (1) Multiple locking mechanisms 10 are placed on the assembly line body 70. When the current locking mechanism 10 moves to the battery loading position, the photoelectric sensor 75 sends a signal to the stop cylinder 74, and the stop cylinder 74 blocks the current locking mechanism 10 from moving forward. Similarly, when the next locking mechanism 10 moves to a safe distance, the corresponding photoelectric sensor 75 sends a signal to the stop cylinder 74 and stops it from moving forward.

[0075] (2) In the next step, the lifting cylinder 91 moves vertically upward to lift the lifting plate 93, so that the lifting plate 93 moves vertically within the limit of the guide column 94. The lifting plate 93 contacts the locking mechanism 10 through the lifting column 95, and then lifts the locking mechanism 10 away from the assembly line body 70 to the same height as the pushing mechanism 30.

[0076] (3) In the next step, the unlocking mechanism 20 is moved downward by the cylinder so that the unlocking mechanism 20 and the locking mechanism 10 are at the same height. At this time, the pushing mechanism 30 starts to act, and the pushing cylinder 31 pushes the pushing column 34 through the U-shaped groove 412 of the pressure block 41 and the through hole 111 of the first end plate 11 to contact the connecting plate 12. At the same time, the blocking cylinder 32 brings the blocking block 33 to the other end of the locking mechanism 10, and fixes the locking mechanism 10 through the pushing mechanism 30.

[0077] (4) Next, the pressing block 41 in the rectangular frame of the locking mechanism 10 is taken out by the lifting mechanism 42. At this time, the second cylinder 24 of the unlocking mechanism 20 provides thrust to move the unlocking mechanism 20 from both sides of the locking mechanism 10 toward the locking mechanism 10, so that the unlocking head 221 and the fixing hole 141 are engaged with each other one by one. Then, the first cylinder 231 starts to move toward the first end plate 11 with the connecting block 232. The connecting block 232 moves the unlocking assembly 22 on the slide rail 26, and moves toward the first end plate 11 with the partition 14 through the unlocking head 221, so that the cavity 16 formed between the partitions 14 reaches the maximum space, completing the unlocking action of the locking mechanism 10.

[0078] (5) Next, the battery is placed in the cavity 16 of the locking mechanism 10 by the manipulator. After the battery is placed, the second cylinder 27 of the unlocking mechanism 20 provides power to move away from the locking mechanism 10, so that the unlocking head 221 is pulled out of the fixing hole 141, and the first cylinder 241 moves with the connecting block 242 in the opposite direction of the first end plate 11, so that the unlocking assembly 22 moves in the opposite direction of the first end plate 11 on the slide rail 26, thereby realizing the reset of the unlocking assembly 22. At this time, the pushing mechanism 30 continues to act, the pushing column 34 contacts the connecting plate 12, and continues to apply thrust through the pushing cylinder 31, so that the partition 14 moves inward along the guide rod 13 until the internal cavity 16 of the partition 14 is compressed to the minimum space, and all move to one end, reserving the space required for the pressing block 41, and locking the battery in the cavity 16.

[0079] (6) Next, the pressing block lifting mechanism 40 starts to move, and the pressing block 41 is placed in the space reserved by the locking mechanism 10 through the lifting mechanism 42, so as to keep the locking mechanism 10 in a locked state. Then, the lifting mechanism 42 returns to the original point to avoid blocking the movement of the locking mechanism 10.

[0080] (7) In the next step, the unlocking mechanism 20 is actuated, and the cylinder on the horizontal frame moves the unlocking mechanism 20 upward, completing the reset of the unlocking mechanism 20; at this time, the pushing mechanism 30 starts to reset, and the pushing column 34 is sequentially withdrawn from the first end plate 11 and the pressure block 41, and at the same time, the blocking block 33 is no longer in contact with the locking mechanism 10.

[0081] (8) In the next step, the locking mechanism 10 is driven by the lifting cylinder 91 and moves downward synchronously with the lifting mechanism 90, and the locking mechanism 10 is placed back on the assembly line body 70, and the stop cylinder 74 acts synchronously to release the current and next locking mechanisms 10, completing the unlocking of the locking mechanism 10 and the battery loading locking, and realizing the rapid movement of the locking mechanism 10 through the assembly line body 70.
