[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0026] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "vertical", "upper", "lower", "horizontal", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0027] In the description of the present invention, it should also be noted that unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "set", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1-6 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a handling and unloading device for assembling energy storage devices of the present invention includes a handling frame 1, a conveying mechanism 2, an adjusting mechanism 3, an adsorption mechanism 5, and a clamping mechanism 6. The handling frame 1 is located above the conveying table 16, and a placement frame 17 is arranged on the side of the handling frame 1; the conveying mechanism 2 is arranged on the handling frame 1; the adjusting mechanism 3 is connected below the conveying mechanism 2, and a handling frame 4 is connected below the adjusting mechanism 3; the adsorption mechanism 5 is arranged on the handling frame 4; the clamping mechanism 6 is arranged on the side of the handling frame 4.

[0029] In the technical solution of the present invention, the energy storage device held can be transported through the conveying mechanism 2. The height and angle of the handling frame 4 can be adjusted through the adjusting mechanism 3, so that the device can flexibly adapt to the handling of items of different sizes and shapes. By combining the adsorption mechanism 5 and the clamping mechanism 6, the handling frame 4 can efficiently and accurately grab and transport items. The combination of the two mechanisms reduces manual operation, improves the handling efficiency, and at the same time avoids errors or safety hazards that may be brought by manual operation. The clamping mechanism 6 can flexibly adapt to items of different sizes and shapes through the cooperation of the telescopic cylinder 61 and the clamping plate 64. Through the dual action of the adsorption mechanism and the clamping mechanism, the stability of the item during handling can be ensured. The adsorption mechanism is used to fix the item, while the clamping mechanism is used to strengthen the fixation to prevent the item from accidentally slipping or displacing during handling.

[0030] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the adsorption mechanism 5 includes a plurality of vacuum suction cups 51. The vacuum suction cups 51 are connected to the handling frame 4. An air extraction pipe 52 is arranged on the side of the vacuum suction cup 51. The air extraction pipe 52 is connected to an air pump through a hose. The clamping mechanism 6 includes a telescopic cylinder 61. The telescopic cylinder 61 is connected to the handling frame 4 through a first connecting seat 62. The telescopic cylinder 61 is connected to a clamping plate 64 through a second connecting seat 63. The plurality of vacuum suction cups 51 can evenly distribute the pressure, increasing the adsorption area of the article, avoiding the sliding or falling of the article caused by concentrated suction force, and is particularly suitable for larger or lighter articles. Through the connection of the air extraction pipe 52 and the air pump, the intensity of the adsorption force can be precisely controlled to ensure that the article will not have an accident due to too strong or too weak suction force. The adjustment of the air pump enables the system to flexibly cope with articles of different weights and shapes. The telescopic cylinder 61 can automatically adjust the distance and pressure of the clamping plate 64 according to the size of the article to ensure that the clamped article does not slide or fall, improving the stability of article handling. The adjustment of the clamping plate 64 can flexibly adapt to articles of different shapes and sizes according to different article requirements to achieve precise clamping, and is particularly suitable for heavier or irregularly shaped articles. The combination of the adsorption mechanism and the clamping mechanism can achieve the efficient grasping, clamping and handling of articles. The adsorption mechanism 5 is responsible for the stable adsorption of the article, while the clamping mechanism 6 ensures the stability of the article during handling, avoiding the shaking or sliding of the article. The automated adsorption and clamping mechanism greatly reduces the need for manual operation, reduces the risk of operation errors, and improves the overall reliability and safety of the system.

[0031] As Figure 1As shown, the conveying mechanism 2 includes a driving slide rail 201, which is connected to the handling rack 1. A walking vehicle 202 is connected to the driving slide rail 201. The lower part of the walking vehicle 202 is connected to the adjusting mechanism 3. The adjusting mechanism 3 includes a height adjusting component 31 and a rotating component 32. The upper end of the height adjusting component 31 is connected to the conveying mechanism 2, the lower end of the height adjusting component 31 is connected to the rotating component 32, and the lower part of the rotating component 32 is connected to the handling frame 4. The flexible height adjusting function is provided by the height adjusting component 31, enabling the conveying system to adjust the height of the handling frame 4 according to different requirements of the items. It is applicable to handling tasks that need to switch between different heights, avoiding the limitations brought by a fixed height and enhancing the adaptability of the operation. The rotating component 32 provides higher flexibility by controlling the rotation of the handling frame, which can help adjust the angle of the handling frame to adapt to different conveying paths or operating environments. The walking vehicle 202 can move along a predetermined track on the driving slide rail 201. Driven by the slide rail, the walking vehicle can flexibly adjust the transmission path of the items to meet the requirements of different working scenarios. Higher operation flexibility is provided, adapting to various production lines and logistics environments. The automatic adjustment functions of the height adjusting component 31 and the rotating component 32 improve the working efficiency of the entire system, reduce manual intervention, make the operation process simpler and more accurate, greatly improve the automation level of the conveying system, reduce human errors, and improve production efficiency.

[0032] As Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, fixing plates 7 are connected to the inner sides of both the handling rack 1 and the clamping plate 64. A buffer spring 8 and a limiting member 9 are arranged on one side of the fixing plate 7, and a buffer backing plate 10 is arranged inside the fixing plate 7.

[0033] Among them, a bottom plate 11 is connected below the buffer backing plate 10, and the bottom plate 11 is an inclined plate. The bottom plate 11 being an inclined plate can help the items be better stabilized during the placement process, avoiding the items from sliding or tilting due to gravity or inertia. This design is particularly suitable for items that need to be kept stable during handling, especially on an inclined plane, which can effectively reduce the shaking and dropping of the items. The design of the inclined plate can naturally guide the items to move along the inclined surface. Especially when the items need to be moved from one position to another, the inclined plate can reduce the sliding resistance of the items and facilitate a faster and smoother movement.

[0034] As Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, a lifting member 53 is provided on each vacuum suction cup 51. The lifting member 53 is connected to the handling frame 4, and a rubber pad 54 is provided on the vacuum suction cup 51. The connection between the lifting member 53 and the handling frame 4 enables precise control of the lifting process of the article. Through the lifting member 53, the height of the vacuum suction cup can be adjusted so that it can better adapt to different articles or operation requirements at different working stages, which helps to avoid damage or unnecessary collisions of the articles, improve work efficiency and precision. Through the adjustment of the lifting member 53, the handling frame 4 can flexibly handle various types of article handling tasks. Especially for articles with irregular shapes or different heights, the lifting function can help quickly adapt to the characteristics of the articles and optimize the handling effect. The lifting member 53 can not only precisely adjust the height of the suction cup, but also adjust the distance between the suction cup and the article as needed during the handling process to avoid grasping failures or article damage caused by inappropriate adsorption force. The rubber pad has good softness and elasticity, which can reduce the contact between hard materials and the article, thereby reducing scratches, indentations or other damages. Especially when handling precision parts or articles with vulnerable surfaces, it can provide additional protection.

[0035] Among them, the lifting member 53 can adopt a lifting cylinder.

[0036] Such as Figure 1 And Figure 4 As shown in [relevant figures], the clamping plate 64 includes a first plate body 641 and a second plate body 642. The first plate body 641 and the second plate body 642 are detachably connected by bolts 643, and the upper part of the first plate body 641 is connected to the second connecting seat 63. Connecting the first plate body 641 and the second plate body 642 by bolts 643 enables the clamping plate 64 to be easily disassembled or assembled as needed. In case of a malfunction or the need to replace a certain part, the operator only needs to loosen the bolts to quickly perform maintenance or replacement, greatly reducing the downtime and maintenance cost of the equipment. The convenient disassembly makes regular maintenance and cleaning work easier, without the need for complex tools or procedures. Especially in the case of a complex production line or equipment, it can reduce the trouble during the maintenance process.

[0037] Such as Figure 1 And Figure 6As shown in the figure, universal wheels 12 are provided below the handling rack 1. A driving motor is provided on one side of the universal wheels 12. An installation frame 13 is connected to the handling rack 1. An electric lifting rod 14 is provided on the installation frame 13. The lower end of the electric lifting rod 14 is connected to a limit base 15. The design of the universal wheels 12 enables the handling rack 1 to rotate and move easily in the workshop, which can not only improve the efficiency of quickly adjusting the position of the equipment during production but also avoid potential safety risks during manual handling. The electric lifting rod 14 can drive the limit base 15 to lift and lower, and the height of the limit base 15 can be adjusted. When the device needs to be fixed, the electric lifting rod 14 is controlled to drive the limit base 15 to descend, so that the limit base 15 is in close contact with the ground, increasing the friction with the ground and enhancing the stability of the device.

[0038] Working principle: The conveying mechanism 2 can be used to transfer the clamped energy storage device. The height and angle of the handling frame 4 can be adjusted through the adjusting mechanism 3, enabling the device to flexibly adapt to the handling of items of different sizes and shapes. By combining the adsorption mechanism 5 and the clamping mechanism 6, the handling frame 4 can efficiently and accurately grasp and transport items. The combination of the two mechanisms reduces manual operation, improves the handling efficiency, and at the same time avoids errors or safety hazards that may be brought by manual operation. The clamping mechanism 6 can flexibly adapt to items of different sizes and shapes through the cooperation of the telescopic cylinder 61 and the clamping plate 64. The dual action of the adsorption mechanism and the clamping mechanism can ensure the stability of the item during handling. The adsorption mechanism is used to fix the item, while the clamping mechanism is used to strengthen the fixation to prevent the item from accidentally slipping or displacing during handling.

[0039] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.
