[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, the battery reversing assembly equipment provided in this embodiment includes: a mounting frame 1, a working frame 3, a moving device 5, a material taking device 7 and a detection device 8.

[0066] The mounting frame 1 is used to support the working frame 3 and the moving device 5. The mounting frame 1 serves as a support structure of the entire equipment and plays a role in supporting and stabilizing other devices.

[0067] The working frame 3 is used to carry the bottom box and the battery block. A double-layer conveyor line is provided on the side of the working frame 3 for conveying the bottom box and the battery block. The bottom box is conveyed to the working frame 3 through the double-layer conveyor line.

[0069] The material picking device 7 includes a lifting material picking drive member 71, a material picking bracket 711 and a material picking gripper assembly; the lifting material picking drive member 71 is transmission-connected with the material picking bracket 711, the lifting material picking drive member 71 is specifically configured as an electric push rod, the outer shell of the lifting material picking drive member 71 is fixedly installed on the moving device 5, the push rod body of the lifting material picking drive member 71 is connected with the material picking bracket 711, and since the push rod body is arranged along the third direction, the material picking bracket 711 can be driven to move along the third direction, the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are arranged perpendicular to each other, and the third direction is the vertical direction.

[0070] The picking gripper assembly is used to grab the battery block on the workbench 3, and the picking bracket 711 is rotatably connected to the picking gripper assembly so that the picking gripper assembly can rotate relative to the picking bracket 711 to adjust the orientation of the grabbed battery block.

[0071] In addition, in an optional embodiment, the battery reversing assembly equipment also includes a lifting mechanism 2; the lifting mechanism 2 includes a slide rail, a slider and a lifting drive motor, the slide rail is vertically installed on the mounting frame 1 along the third direction, the slider is slidably connected to the slide rail, the slider is connected to the lifting mechanism 2 and the mounting frame 1, and the driving end of the lifting drive motor is connected to the working frame 3. The driving force generated by the lifting drive motor acts on the working frame 3, thereby driving the working frame 3 to move up and down along the slide rail in the third direction, so that the bottom box is lifted and lowered together with the working frame 3, which is convenient for cooperating with the material picking clamp assembly to install the battery block on the bottom box.

[0072] The detection device 8 is installed on the material picking bracket 711, and the detection device 8 is configured to be able to contact the battery block grasped by the material picking clamp assembly, and determine the orientation of the grasped battery block based on the contact position information, and the detection device 8 controls the operation of the material picking clamp assembly accordingly based on the determined orientation information of the battery block, and adjusts the grasped battery block to the correct direction, so as to facilitate the subsequent installation of the battery block on the bottom box.

[0073] The battery reversing assembly equipment provided in this embodiment drives the material picking device 7 in the first direction and the second direction through the moving device 5, and cooperates with the lifting and picking drive member 71 to drive the material picking bracket 711 to move in the third direction, thereby realizing the all-round movement of the material picking clamp assembly, and using the material picking clamp assembly to grab the battery block, the detection device 8 determines the orientation of the grabbed battery block, and cooperates with the rotational movement of the material picking clamp assembly to adjust the grabbed battery block to a suitable orientation, and then through the cooperation of the moving device 5 and the lifting and picking drive member 71, the battery block is installed in the bottom box, realizing automatic installation of the battery block, and there will be no error in the installation orientation of the battery block, which alleviates the technical problems in the prior art that the manual assembly of the battery block in the power battery module is labor-intensive and the installation direction of the battery block is prone to errors.

[0074] Regarding the structure and shape of the material taking device 7, specifically:

[0075] like Figure 2 As shown, the material picking device 7 includes a lifting material picking drive member 71, a material picking bracket 711 and a material picking clamping hand assembly. The material picking bracket 711 is a U-shaped bracket structure, including two vertical plates and a horizontal plate connected between the two vertical plates. The driving rod connection position of the lifting drive motor is located at the center position of the horizontal plate in the U-shaped material picking bracket 711. Two material picking clamping hand assemblies are provided, respectively provided on the two side vertical plates of the U-shaped material picking bracket 711, and the two material picking clamping hand assemblies are symmetrically mirrored along the center line of the horizontal plate.

[0076] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, there are two groups of material picking gripper assemblies. Since the structures of the two groups of material picking gripper assemblies are exactly the same, one group of material picking gripper assemblies is used as an example below. The material picking gripper assemblies include a rotating drive member 72, a mounting plate 73 and a clamping plate 733; the rotating drive member 72 is specifically configured as a motor, and the rotating drive member 72 is installed on the vertical plate of the material picking bracket 711. The driving end of the rotating drive member 72 passes through the vertical plate of the material picking bracket 711 and is transmission-connected with the mounting plate 73, so that the rotating drive member 72 can drive the mounting plate 73 to rotate.

[0077] There are two clamping plates 733, which are symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the mounting plate 73, and both clamping plates 733 are slidably connected to the mounting plate 73, so that the two clamping plates 733 can move closer to or away from each other relative to the mounting plate 73 to grab or release the battery block.

[0078] In order to achieve the synchronous approaching or synchronously moving away of the two clamping plates 733, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the material picking gripper assembly also includes a synchronous transmission component; the mounting plate 73 is symmetrically provided with two sliding grooves 731 along its own axis, and a slide plate 732 is slidably installed in the two sliding grooves 731 respectively, and the ends of the two clamping plates 733 are respectively connected to the two slide plates 732, that is, the clamping plate 733 and the slide plate 732 are an integral structure, and the clamping plate 733 and the slide plate 732 are L-shaped, and the slide plate 732 is restricted by the sliding groove 731, so that the slide plate 732 can only move in the sliding groove 731, thereby realizing the movement of the two clamping plates 733 along the length direction of the sliding groove 731.

[0079] The synchronous transmission components are respectively connected to the two slide plates 732 in a transmission manner. The synchronous transmission components are configured to apply a driving force to the two slide plates 732 so that the two slide plates 732 can synchronously move closer to or farther from each other.

[0080] The synchronous transmission components specifically include a synchronous driving member 744, a driving gear 743, a synchronous belt 742 and a driven gear 741; the mounting plate 73 is provided with a mounting groove 74, and the synchronous driving member 744, the driving gear 743, the synchronous belt 742 and the driven gear 741 are all installed in the mounting groove 74. Specifically, the mounting groove 74 is T-shaped, divided into a vertical groove and a horizontal groove connected to the bottom of the vertical groove, and the connection point between the vertical groove and the horizontal groove is located in the middle of the horizontal groove. The synchronous driving member 744 is installed in the vertical groove, and the driving gear 743, the synchronous belt 742 and the driven gear 741 are installed in the horizontal groove. The driving gear 743 is located in the middle of the horizontal groove, and the two driven gears 741 are located at both ends of the horizontal groove.

[0081] The synchronous driving member 744 is specifically configured as a driving motor, and the driving end of the synchronous driving member 744 is connected to the driving gear 743, so that the driving force generated by the synchronous driving member 744 can drive the driving gear 743 to rotate, and a rack is provided on the inner side of the synchronous belt 742, and the driving gear 743 is meshed with the rack, so that the synchronous belt 742 can rotate; the sides of the two slides 732 are provided with rack segments, and two driven gears 741 are provided. The two driven gears 741 are respectively meshed with the rack segments on the two slides 732, and the two driven gears 741 are meshed with the racks, so that the driving force generated by the synchronous driving member 744 acts on the two slides 732 through the driving gear 743, the synchronous belt 742 and the two driven gears 741, thereby driving the two slides 732 to synchronously approach or move away from each other, so that the two clamps 733 can grab or release the battery block.

[0082] It should be noted that Figure 5 To illustrate the arrangement of the mounting slot 74, Figure 5 The mounting plate 73 in the figure only shows the sliding groove 731 on one side.

[0083] In an optional embodiment, the inner side surface of the clamp 733 is recessed to form a mating groove 734, and the shape of the mating groove 734 is adapted to the outer contour of the battery block. The provided mating groove 734 can enable the clamp 733 to adapt to and clamp different battery blocks, and the clamped battery block can be rotated along with the mounting plate 73.

[0084] Regarding the structure and shape of the detection device 8, specifically:

[0085] The detection device 8 is also provided in two groups to correspond to the two groups of material picking gripper assemblies. One group of the detection device 8 is used as an example. Figure 7As shown, the detection device 8 includes a matching block 83, a support tube 84 and a detection member 85; a mounting hole 81 is provided on the horizontal plate of the material picking bracket 711, and the support tube 84 is passed through the mounting hole 81. The bottom end of the support tube 84 is connected to the matching block 83. The support tube 84 is specifically configured as an elastic corrugated tube-shaped tube, so the support tube 84 has a certain amount of expansion and contraction, so that when the matching block 83 can be lifted by the protrusion on the battery block, the matching block 83 can move upward, and the detection member 85 can detect the displacement of the matching block 83. The detection member 85 is specifically configured as a distance sensor, which determines the position of the protrusion on the battery block by detecting the displacement distance of the matching block 83, thereby obtaining the orientation of the battery block, and then controlling the material picking gripper assembly to drive the battery block to rotate according to the orientation of the battery block.

[0086] For example, the battery block can be set to be a rectangle with a protrusion on one side. The battery block needs to be installed in the bottom box with the protrusion facing upward. The mating block 83 is pressed against the protrusion to squeeze the support tube 84 to deform and determine the direction of the battery block. If the protrusion does not contact the mating block 83, the material picking clamp assembly drives the battery block to rotate, and then continues to detect the direction. After the detection, if the battery block protrudes upward, the battery block is clamped and moved to the corresponding position of the bottom box. The battery block can also be set to a cylindrical shape with a protrusion on the end face.

[0087] In an optional embodiment, the detection device 8 also includes a detection drive member 82, which is specifically configured as a drive motor. The outer shell of the detection drive member 82 is installed on the material picking bracket 711, and the driving end of the detection drive member 82 extends into the mounting hole 81 and is connected to the top of the support tube 84, and the detection member 85 is installed on the driving end of the detection drive member 82, so that the detection drive member 82 can drive the detection member 85, the support tube 84 and the matching block 83 to move up and down to adapt to battery blocks of different heights.

[0088] In an optional embodiment, two relatively parallel rail plates 4 are provided on the work frame 3, and a plurality of rollers arranged side by side in parallel and spaced apart are provided between the two rail plates 4. The rollers can rotate along their own axial directions, and the rollers are used to carry the battery blocks and the bottom box.

[0089] The battery reversing assembly equipment also includes two auxiliary positioning components 6; the two auxiliary positioning components 6 are respectively arranged on the feeding side and the discharging side of the roller; the two auxiliary positioning components 6 can resist the bottom box, so as to limit and fix the bottom box on the roller.

[0090] Regarding the structure of the auxiliary positioning component 6, specifically:

[0091] like Figure 8As shown, since the two groups of auxiliary positioning components 6 have the same structure but different layout positions, one of the groups of auxiliary positioning components 6 is used as an example below. The auxiliary positioning component 6 includes a first positioning drive member 61, a mounting block 62, a second positioning drive member 63 and a connecting plate 64; the first positioning drive member 61 and the second positioning drive member 63 are both configured as electric push rods, and the shell of the first positioning drive member 61 is fixedly mounted on the working frame 3, and the driving end of the first positioning drive member 61 is transmission-connected to the mounting block 62, and the driving force generated by the first positioning drive member 61 drives the mounting block 62 to move up and down along the third direction; the shell of the second positioning drive member 63 is installed in the mounting block 62, so that the second positioning drive member 63 can move up and down together with the mounting block 62, and the driving end of the second positioning drive member 63 is transmission-connected to the connecting plate 64, and the second positioning drive member 63 can drive the connecting plate 64 to move horizontally along the second direction so that the connecting plate 64 is against the bottom box.

[0092] Specifically, during the process of conveying the bottom box on the double-layer conveyor line, the first positioning drive member 61 drives the mounting block 62, the second positioning drive member 63 and the connecting plate 64 to move to a height position lower than the roller to avoid the conveyance of the bottom box and ensure that the bottom box is conveyed onto the roller. Subsequently, the first positioning drive member 61 drives the mounting block 62, the second positioning drive member 63 and the connecting plate 64 to move to a height position higher than the roller, and the second positioning drive member 63 drives the connecting plate 64 to move toward the bottom box, so that the connecting plate 64 is against the bottom box, thereby utilizing the two connecting plates 64 to limit and clamp the bottom box.

[0093] In addition, a ball 65 may be provided on the top of the mounting block 62. When the mounting block 62 moves to a position flush with the roller, the ball 65 can assist in guiding the bottom box, making it easier for the bottom box to move out of the work frame 3 along the roller and the ball 65.

[0094] The battery reversing assembly equipment provided by the present invention can detect the directions of different battery blocks, and can perform adaptive clamping and reversing operations; it can also automatically convey, limit and fix the bottom box, and perform automated assembly operations on the battery blocks after the reversal, thereby ensuring that the battery blocks are installed accurately and correctly, completing automated production operations, increasing production capacity and reducing labor.

[0095] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
