Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of battery production, and in particular relates to a transporting and clamping mechanism for battery production. Background Art

[0002] A battery is a device that converts chemical energy directly into electrical energy. Designed to be rechargeable, it is recharged through a reversible chemical reaction. Due to its stable voltage, safety and reliability, low price, wide applicability, abundant raw materials, and high recycling rate, it has become one of the most produced and widely used batteries in the world. The transfer and gripping mechanisms used in battery production are crucial for improving production efficiency and ensuring product quality. In large-scale production, traditional manual handling is inefficient and can easily damage the battery casing or deform the battery terminals. Conventional mechanical grippers can also fail due to uneven clamping force, leading to battery drops.

[0003] At present, the clamping mechanisms for clamping and transporting batteries generally use pneumatic grippers, vacuum suction cups, etc.; however, the pneumatic grippers have limited clamping force and are prone to slipping, while the vacuum suction cups are dependent on surface flatness and have the risk of air leakage; both have the problem of falling due to clamping failure.

[0004] In response to the above-mentioned problem of battery dropping caused by clamping failure, the present invention designs a transport clamping mechanism for battery production. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a transfer and clamping mechanism for battery production. Through the functions of the transfer support plate, clamping assembly and bottom support assembly, it not only provides the main support for clamping the battery, but also provides temporary support when the clamping fails. It has the functions of ensuring operational safety and avoiding accidental losses, and solves the above-mentioned problem of falling caused by clamping failure.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] The present invention relates to a transfer and clamping mechanism for battery production, comprising a transfer support plate, a clamping assembly and a bottom support assembly; the bottom of the transfer support plate is equipped with a clamping assembly for exerting a main clamping force on the battery, and the bottom of the clamping assembly is equipped with a bottom support assembly for supporting and protecting the bottom of the battery; the transfer support plate comprises a group of sliding support plates and a mounting plate; a sliding support plate is slidably fitted on both sides of the mounting plate; the clamping assembly is equipped on the sliding support plate; the bottom support assembly comprises a supporting tray and a pillar; the bottom of the sliding support plate is equipped with a pillar, and the bottom of the pillar is fixed with a supporting tray; the clamping assembly improves the main clamping force and clamping effect during the initial clamping when performing transfer operations such as clamping and transporting the battery; when the clamping assembly clamps the battery, the support tray in the bottom support assembly supports the bottom of the battery to prevent it from acting as a temporary main support after the clamping fails; to ensure operational safety, avoid accidental losses and other functions.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, two groups of guide mounting plates are fixed on the top surface of the mounting plate, and a cylinder group is fixedly installed in the middle of the guide mounting plate; the telescopic end of the cylinder group passes through a guide mounting plate and is fixedly connected to a sliding support plate; each group of the guide mounting plates is fixed with guide columns on both sides of the cylinder group; the guide columns pass through the sliding support plate and slide with the sliding support plate; the function of the guide mounting plates and the guide columns is to make the cylinder group smooth when performing reciprocating telescopic operations, thereby improving the fluency of the operation.

[0009] As an optimal technical solution of the present invention, the bottom of the sliding support plate is rotatably matched with the top of the pillar, and a driven rotating plate is fixed in the middle of the pillar, and an elliptical sliding groove is provided on the driven rotating plate; the mounting plate is fixed with a fixed link on the outside of a group of sliding support plates, and the bottom of the fixed link cooperates with the elliptical sliding groove. The cylinder group controls the sliding of the sliding support plate and also controls the rotation state of the pillar and the support bracket through the fixed link; the function of the driven rotating plate and the fixed link is that when the cylinder group controls the sliding support plate to move back and forth, the fixed link is always located in the elliptical sliding groove of the driven rotating plate, so that the driven rotating plate, the pillar and the support bracket swing relative to each other, and then controls whether the support bracket is directly below the battery.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, one opposite surface of the two supporting pallets is provided with a concave groove, and the inner wall of the concave groove is slidably fitted with a sliding pallet; a return spring is installed between the inner wall of the concave groove and the sliding pallet; when the stacked batteries are transferred, the return spring pushes the sliding pallet to the lower edge of the bottom of the battery to be clamped and slightly squeezes the battery; when the transfer support plate and the clamping assembly are clamped, the return spring pushes the sliding pallet to the bottom surface of the clamped battery, thereby preventing the battery from falling due to clamping failure.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the sliding support plate is slidably matched with the clamping assembly, and a spring sheet is installed between the sliding support plate and the clamping assembly; when the spring sheet is in action, the sliding support plate and the clamping assembly can be movable in the horizontal direction to avoid the clamping force being too loose or too tight.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the clamping assembly adopts a vacuum suction cup; the vacuum suction cup is provided with a limiting ring on both sides of the sliding support plate; its function is to avoid the problem of too small elastic force of the spring sheet caused by excessive movable stroke.

[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The present invention uses the functions of the transfer support plate, clamping assembly and bottom support assembly to not only provide the main support for clamping the battery, but also provide temporary support when the clamping fails, which has the advantages of ensuring operational safety, avoiding accidental losses, and double safety protection and support.

[0015] 2. The present invention uses the action of the driven rotating plate and the fixed connecting rod. When the cylinder group controls the sliding support plate to move back and forth, the driven rotating plate, the pillar, and the supporting plate swing relative to each other, and then controls whether the supporting plate is directly under the battery. It has the advantages of protecting and preventing the bottom support of the battery after it is clamped, and does not interfere with the normal clamping operation.

[0016] Of course, any product implementing the present invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
