Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery pack testing technology, and more specifically, to a battery pack flipping device. Background Technology

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have advantages such as high energy density and long cycle life, and are widely used in new energy power and energy storage equipment.

[0003] Currently, in the electric vehicle field, lithium-ion batteries are typically manufactured in the form of battery packs for use in the overall vehicle system. Due to the large size and weight of battery packs, disassembly, testing, or transportation require the use of battery pack flipping or lifting equipment for clamping. However, existing battery pack flipping equipment usually only accommodates one type of battery pack size and cannot handle battery packs of different shapes or sizes. Alternatively, some battery pack flipping equipment, while capable of accommodating different sizes, achieves this through telescopic rods or by fixing the battery pack to different positions on the rod. In such cases, if the battery pack is far from the supporting structure, the stability of the entire supporting structure will be poor due to the lever arm effect, and it is prone to damage during long-term use.

[0068] Please see also Figures 1 to 4 One embodiment of this application provides a battery pack flipping device 100. The battery pack flipping device 100 includes a first support frame 110, a second support frame 210, a crossbeam assembly 10, a first spacing adjustment mechanism 120, and a second spacing adjustment mechanism 220.

[0069] A first clamping assembly 130 is provided on the first support frame 110. A first lifting mechanism 140 and a first flipping mechanism 150 are provided between the first support frame 110 and the first clamping assembly 130. The first lifting mechanism 140 is used to drive the first clamping assembly 130 to rise and fall. The first flipping mechanism 150 is used to drive the first clamping assembly 130 to flip.

[0070] A second clamping assembly 230 is provided on the second support frame 210. The first clamping assembly 130 and the second clamping assembly 230 are used to jointly clamp the battery pack. A second lifting mechanism 240 and a second flipping mechanism 250 are provided between the second support frame 210 and the second clamping assembly 230. The second lifting mechanism 240 is used to drive the second clamping assembly 230 to rise and fall. The second flipping mechanism 250 is used to drive the second clamping assembly 230 to flip.

[0071] One end of the crossbeam assembly 10 is connected to the first support frame 110. The other end of the crossbeam assembly 10 is connected to the second support frame 210.

[0072] A first spacing adjustment mechanism 120 is provided between the crossbeam assembly 10 and the first support frame 110. The first spacing adjustment mechanism 120 is used to adjust the position of the first support frame 110 on the crossbeam assembly 10. If necessary, a second spacing adjustment mechanism 220 is provided between the crossbeam assembly 10 and the second support frame 210. The second spacing adjustment mechanism 220 is used to adjust the position of the second support frame 210 on the crossbeam assembly 10.

[0073] In the battery pack flipping device 100 provided in this application, a first spacing adjustment mechanism 120 is provided between the crossbeam assembly 10 and the first support frame 110. The first spacing adjustment mechanism 120 is used to adjust the position of the first support frame 110 on the crossbeam assembly 10, thereby achieving effective clamping of battery packs of different models or sizes. That is to say, the relative position of the first support frame 110 can be adjusted according to the actual size of the battery pack. In addition, since the position of the first support frame 110 can be adjusted, the distance between the battery pack and the first support frame 110 can be made smaller, thereby making the support of the battery pack by the battery pack flipping device 100 more stable. Furthermore, since the distance between the battery pack and the first support frame 110 can be adjusted to be smaller, the lever arm distance between the battery pack and the first support frame 110 is also shorter, thereby making it less likely for the weight of the battery pack to damage the overall support structure. Similarly, by providing a second spacing adjustment mechanism 220 between the crossbeam assembly 10 and the second support frame 210, the second spacing adjustment mechanism 220 is used to adjust the position of the second support frame 210 on the crossbeam assembly 10, thereby achieving effective clamping of battery packs of different models or sizes. That is, the relative position of the second support frame 210 can be adjusted according to the actual size of the battery pack. Furthermore, since the position of the second support frame 210 is adjustable, the distance between the battery pack and the second support frame 210 can be reduced, thus making the support of the battery pack flipping device more stable. Moreover, since the distance between the battery pack and the second support frame 210 can be reduced, the lever arm distance between the battery pack and the second support frame 210 is also shorter, making it less likely that the weight of the battery pack will damage the overall support structure.

[0074] Understandably, in some embodiments, the first spacing adjustment mechanism 120 may be provided only between the crossbeam assembly 10 and the first support frame 110, or the second spacing adjustment mechanism 220 may be provided only between the crossbeam assembly 10 and the second support frame 210, or both the first spacing adjustment mechanism 120 and the second spacing adjustment mechanism 220 may be provided simultaneously.

[0075] Please see also Figures 5 to 7 In some embodiments, the first pitch adjustment mechanism 120 includes a first ball screw 121, a first slider assembly 122, and a first slide rail assembly 123. The first slider assembly 122 is fixedly connected to the first support frame 110. The first slide rail assembly 123 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam assembly 10 and is arranged horizontally. The first ball screw 121 is disposed between the first slider assembly 122 and the first slide rail assembly 123, and is used to drive the first slider assembly 122 to slide on the first slide rail assembly 123.

[0076] The second pitch adjustment mechanism 220 includes a second ball screw 221, a second slider assembly 222, and a second slide rail assembly 223. The second slider assembly 222 is fixedly connected to the second support frame 210. The second slide rail assembly 223 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam assembly 10 and is arranged horizontally. The second ball screw 221 is disposed between the second slider assembly 222 and the second slide rail assembly 223, and is used to drive the second slider assembly 222 to slide on the second slide rail assembly 223.

[0077] By providing a first slide rail assembly 123 on the crossbeam assembly 10 and a first slider assembly 122 on the first support frame 110, the first slider assembly 122 can slide on the first slide rail assembly 123 via the first ball screw 121. Since the first slider assembly 122 is fixedly connected to the first support frame 110, the position of the first support frame 110 on the crossbeam assembly 10 can be easily adjusted by sliding the first slider assembly 122.

[0078] Similarly, by providing a second slide rail assembly 223 on the crossbeam assembly 10 and a second slider assembly 222 on the second support frame 210, the second slider assembly 222 can slide on the second slide rail assembly 223 via the second ball screw 221. Since the second slider assembly 222 is fixedly connected to the second support frame 210, the position of the second support frame 210 on the crossbeam assembly 10 can be easily adjusted by sliding the second slider assembly 222.

[0079] If needed, a first hand crank 1211 can also be provided on the first ball screw 121. By rotating the first hand crank 1211, the screw shaft of the first ball screw 121 is rotated, thereby adjusting the relative position of the first slider assembly 122 and the first slide rail assembly 123, and further adjusting the position of the first support frame 110 on the crossbeam assembly 10. This adjustment method is simple to operate, highly precise, and can quickly adapt to the production needs of battery packs of different lengths, ensuring efficient operation of the equipment under different working conditions. Similarly, a second hand crank 2211 can also be provided on the second ball screw 221. By rotating the second hand crank 2211, the screw shaft of the second ball screw 221 is rotated, thereby adjusting the relative position of the second slider assembly 222 and the second slide rail assembly 223, and further adjusting the position of the second support frame 210 on the crossbeam assembly 10.

When the screw shaft 1214 of the first ball screw 121 rotates, it drives the nut 1212 of the first ball screw 121 to move, thereby causing the first slider 1222 to slide on the first slide rail 1232. Depending on the need, the first ball screw 121 has two bearings 1213, one of which is an angular contact ball bearing and the other is a deep groove ball bearing. An angular contact ball bearing is positioned close to the first hand crank 1211, while a deep groove ball bearing is positioned away from the first hand crank 1211. If necessary, a coupling is also provided between the first hand crank 1211 and the screw shaft 1214 of the first ball screw 121, thereby enabling the first hand crank 1211 to effectively drive the screw shaft 1214 of the first ball screw 121 to rotate.

When the screw shaft 2214 of the second ball screw 221 rotates, it drives the nut 2212 of the second ball screw 221 to move, thereby causing the second slider 2222 to slide on the second slide rail 2232. Similarly, the second ball screw 221 has two bearings 2213, one of which is an angular contact ball bearing and the other is a deep groove ball bearing. An angular contact ball bearing is positioned near the second hand crank 2211, while a deep groove ball bearing is positioned away from the second hand crank 2211. If necessary, a coupling is also provided between the second hand crank 2211 and the screw shaft 2214 of the second ball screw 221, thereby enabling the second hand crank 2211 to effectively drive the screw shaft 2214 of the second ball screw 221 to rotate.

If necessary, the support frame 210 is also provided with a second connecting plate 216. The second connecting plate 216 is used for fixed connection with the third plate 2221 of the second slider assembly 222, thereby allowing the second slider assembly 222 to be more securely fixed on the second support frame 210.

[0086] As needed, the first lifting mechanism 140 and the second lifting mechanism 240 lift synchronously. By configuring the first lifting mechanism 140 and the second lifting mechanism 240 to lift synchronously, when the battery pack is clamped between the first clamping assembly 130 and the second clamping assembly 230, the lifting operation of the battery pack can be achieved through the combined action of the first lifting mechanism 140 and the second lifting mechanism 240. It is understood that in some embodiments, the first lifting mechanism 140 can be configured as the active lifting mechanism, and the second lifting mechanism 240 as the passive lifting mechanism, thereby achieving the lifting operation of the battery pack. In other embodiments, the second lifting mechanism 240 can be configured as the active lifting mechanism, and the first lifting mechanism 140 as the passive lifting mechanism, thereby achieving the lifting operation of the battery pack. In this embodiment, both the first lifting mechanism 140 and the second lifting mechanism 240 are active lifting mechanisms, but they lift synchronously to achieve the lifting operation of the battery pack.

[0087] In some embodiments, the third slider assembly 142 includes a fifth plate 1421 and third sliders 1422 disposed on both sides of the fifth plate 1421.

The bearing 1413 of the third ball screw 141 is disposed on the sixth plate 1431. The third slider 1422 cooperates with the third slide rail 1432. When the screw shaft 1414 of the third ball screw 141 rotates, it drives the nut 1412 of the third ball screw 141 to move, thereby causing the third slider 1422 to slide on the third slide rail 1432, thereby driving the first flipping assembly 150 and the first clamping assembly 130 to move in the vertical direction.

[0088] The fourth slider assembly 242 includes a seventh plate 2421 and fourth sliders 2422 disposed on both sides of the seventh plate 2421.

[0089] In some embodiments, the first lifting mechanism 140 further includes a first servo motor 144 and a first worm gear reducer 145. The first servo motor 144 is connected to the screw shaft 1414 of the third ball screw 141 via the first worm gear reducer 145, thereby driving the screw shaft 1414 of the third ball screw 141 to rotate. The first worm gear reducer 145 is connected to the screw shaft 1414 of the third ball screw 141 via a first coupling 1415.

[0090] As needed, the second lifting mechanism 240 further includes a second servo motor 244 and a second worm gear reducer 245. The second servo motor 244 is connected to the screw shaft 2414 of the fourth ball screw 241 via the second worm gear reducer 245, thereby driving the screw shaft 2414 of the fourth ball screw 2414 to rotate. The second worm gear reducer 245 is connected to the screw shaft 2414 of the fourth ball screw 241 via a second coupling 2415.

[0091] In this embodiment, the vertical movement of the battery pack is controlled collaboratively by a servo motor and a lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism is equipped with an advanced synchronization system, enabling synchronous lifting from both ends with a lifting accuracy of up to 0.01mm. This high-precision lifting control ensures the horizontality and stability of the battery pack during the lifting process, effectively preventing damage to the battery pack or operational errors caused by uneven lifting, and improving the overall performance and operational safety of the equipment.

[0092] In some embodiments, the first flipping mechanism 150 includes a first rotating disk 151 and a third servo motor 152 that drives the first rotating disk 151 to rotate.

The third servo motor 152 drives the first turntable 1512 to rotate relative to the first housing 1511. The first clamping assembly 130 is fixedly disposed on the first turntable 1512, thereby causing the third servo motor 152 to drive the first clamping assembly 130 to rotate.

[0093] As needed, the second flipping mechanism 250 includes a second rotating disk 251 and a fourth servo motor 252 that drives the second rotating disk 251 to rotate. The second rotating disk 251 includes a second housing 2511 and a second turntable 2512. The second housing 2511 is fixed to the seventh plate 2421 of the fourth slider assembly 242. The fourth servo motor 252 drives the second turntable 2512 to rotate relative to the second housing 2511. The second clamping assembly 230 is fixedly disposed on the second turntable 2512, thereby causing the fourth servo motor 252 to drive the second clamping assembly 230 to rotate.

[0094] As needed, the first flipping mechanism 150 and the second flipping mechanism 250 flip synchronously.

[0095] As needed, the first flipping mechanism 150 and the second flipping mechanism 250 flip synchronously. By configuring the first flipping mechanism 150 and the second flipping mechanism 250 to flip synchronously, when the battery pack is clamped between the first clamping assembly 130 and the second clamping assembly 230, the battery pack can be raised and lowered under the combined action of the first flipping mechanism 150 and the second flipping mechanism 250. Understandably, in some embodiments, the first flipping mechanism 150 can be configured to actively flip, and the second flipping mechanism 250 can be configured to passively raise and lower, thereby achieving the battery pack flipping operation. In other embodiments, the second flipping mechanism 250 can be configured to actively raise and lower, and the first flipping mechanism 150 can be configured to passively flip, thereby achieving the battery pack raising and lowering operation. In this embodiment, both the first flipping mechanism 150 and the second flipping mechanism 250 actively flip, but they flip synchronously, thereby achieving the battery pack flipping operation.

[0096] In another embodiment, the battery pack flipping device 100 has two selectable control methods: servo motor drive and handwheel operation. Both ends of the device are equipped with motors or handwheels, which must operate synchronously to ensure the smoothness of the flipping process. Both flipping methods have the function of stopping at any angle, meeting the diverse requirements of different production processes for the battery pack flipping angle and providing great convenience for complex production operations.

[0097] As needed, the first servo motor 144, the second servo motor 244, the third servo motor 152, and the fourth servo motor 252 are equipped with braking devices to prevent the raised battery pack from falling if a sudden power outage occurs during device operation. Additionally, the first worm gear reducer 145 and the second worm gear reducer 245 also have braking functions, similarly preventing the raised battery pack from falling due to a sudden power outage.

[0098] Please see also Figures 12 to 13 In some embodiments, the first clamping assembly 130 includes: a first rotating rod 131 and a first clamping rod 132 and a second clamping rod 133 extending horizontally from the upper and lower ends of the first rotating rod 131. One or more first clamps 1321 are sleeved on the first clamping rod 132. One or more second clamps 1331 are sleeved on the second clamping rod 133. The first clamps 1321 and the second clamps 1331 are used for fixed connection with the battery pack.

[0099] As needed, the second clamping assembly 230 includes: a second rotating rod 231 and a third clamping rod 232 and a fourth clamping rod 233 extending horizontally from the upper and lower ends of the second rotating rod 231. One or more third clamps 2321 are fitted onto the third clamping rod 232. One or more fourth clamps 2331 are fitted onto the fourth clamping rod 233. The third clamps 2321 and the fourth clamps 2331 are used for fixed connection with the battery pack.

[0100] In this embodiment, one or more first clamps 1321 can be slidably mounted on the first clamping rod 132 to adapt to the positions of screw holes or mounting holes on battery packs of different specifications. Similarly, one or more second clamps 1331 can be slidably mounted on the second clamping rod 133, or one or more third clamps 2321 can be slidably mounted on the third clamping rod 232, or one or more fourth clamps 2331 can be slidably mounted on the fourth clamping rod 233, thus allowing the second clamps 1331, third clamps 2321, and fourth clamps 2331 to adapt to the positions of screw holes or mounting holes on battery packs of different specifications.

[0101] To address the differences in the spacing of fixing holes for different battery packs, the first clamping component 130 and the second clamping component 230 of the battery pack flipping device 100 in this application can flexibly adjust the positions of the first clamp 1321, the second clamp 1331, the third clamp 2321, and the fourth clamp 2331 to precisely adapt to the fixing holes of various types of battery packs. This function not only improves the compatibility of the device with different battery packs but also ensures the stability of the battery pack during the gripping and fixing process, effectively enhancing the safety and reliability of the operation.

[0102] In some embodiments, the first clamping assembly 130 further includes a first support plate 134. The first support plate 134 includes a first disc portion 1341 disposed at a central position and a first extension portion 1342 and a second extension portion 1343 extending vertically from the first disc portion 1341.

The first extension portion 1342 and the second extension portion 1343 are fixedly disposed to the first rotating rod 131 of the first clamping assembly 130. In this embodiment, the shape and size of the first disc portion 1341 are substantially the same as the shape and size of the first turntable 1512 of the first rotating disk 151.

[0103] As needed, the second clamping assembly 230 further includes a second support plate 234. The second support plate 234 includes a second disc portion 2341 disposed at a central position, and a third extension portion 2342 and a fourth extension portion 2343 extending vertically from the second disc portion 2341. The second disc portion 2341 of the second support plate 234 is fixedly connected to the second turntable 2512 of the second rotating disk 251. The third extension portion 2342 and the fourth extension portion 2343 are fixedly disposed to the second rotating rod 231 of the second clamping assembly 230. In this embodiment, the shape and size of the second disc portion 2341 are substantially the same as the shape and size of the second turntable 2512 of the second rotating disk 251.

[0104] By setting a first support plate 134, and configuring the first support plate 134 to include a first disc portion 1341, a first extension portion 1342, and a second extension portion 1343, since the shape and size of the first disc portion 1341 are basically consistent with the shape and size of the first turntable 1512 of the first rotating disk 151, the first support plate 134 can better transmit the power of the first turntable 1512 during rotation to the first rotating rod 131, thereby driving the battery pack to rotate.

[0105] Similarly, by setting a second support plate 234, and configuring the second support plate 234 to include a second disc portion 2341, a third extension portion 2342 and a fourth extension portion 2343, since the shape and size of the second disc portion 2341 are basically consistent with the shape and size of the second turntable 2512 of the second rotating disk 251, the second support plate 234 can better transmit the power of the second turntable 2512 during rotation to the second rotating rod 231, thereby driving the battery pack to rotate.

[0106] In some embodiments, a first bushing 1322 is provided at the end of the first clamping rod 132. The first bushing 1322 is sleeved on one end of the first rotating rod 131, thereby fixing the first clamping rod 132 to the first rotating rod 131.

[0107] As needed, a second bushing 1332 is provided at the end of the second clamping rod 133. The second bushing 1332 is sleeved on the other end of the first rotating rod 131, thereby fixing the second clamping rod 133 to the first rotating rod 131.

[0108] As needed, a third bushing 2322 is provided at the end of the third clamping rod 232. The third bushing 2322 is sleeved on one end of the second rotating rod 231, thereby fixing the third clamping rod 232 to the second rotating rod 231.

[0109] As needed, a fourth bushing 2332 is provided at the end of the fourth clamping rod 233. The fourth bushing 2332 is sleeved on the other end of the second rotating rod 231, thereby fixing the fourth clamping rod 233 to the second rotating rod 231.

[0110] By providing a first bushing 1322, a second bushing 1332, a third bushing 2322, and a fourth bushing 2332, on the one hand, the first rotating rod 131 and the first bearing plate 134 can be more precisely joined together, as can the second rotating rod 231 and the second bearing plate 234. On the other hand, the first clamping rod 132 and the second clamping rod 133 can be more securely mounted on the first rotating rod 131, and the third clamping rod 232 and the fourth clamping rod 233 can also be more securely mounted on the second rotating rod 231.

[0111] In some embodiments, the first rotating rod 131 is provided with a first groove 1311 at one end of the first bushing 1322. The first groove 1311 is provided along the extending direction of the first rotating rod 131. The first groove 1311 is used to allow the first bushing 1322 to slide on the first rotating rod 131 to adjust the position of the first bushing 1322 on the first rotating rod 131.

[0112] As needed, the first rotating rod 131 is provided with a second sliding groove 1312 at one end of the second bushing 1332. The second sliding groove 1312 is provided along the extending direction of the first rotating rod 131. The second sliding groove 1312 is used to allow the second bushing 1332 to slide on the first rotating rod 131 to adjust the position of the second bushing 1332 on the first rotating rod 131.

[0113] As needed, a third sliding groove 2311 is provided at one end of the third bushing 2322 to facilitate the setting of the second rotating rod 231. The third sliding groove 2311 is provided along the extending direction of the second rotating rod 231.

[0115] By setting the first sliding groove 1311 and the second sliding groove 1312, when the width of the battery pack is small, the first bushing 1322 of the first clamping rod 132 can move along the first sliding groove 1311, or the second bushing 1332 of the second clamping rod 133 can move along the second sliding groove 1312, ultimately making the distance between the first clamping rod 132 and the second clamping rod 133 suitable for the width of the battery pack. Then, the first clamping rod 132 and the second clamping rod 133 are fixed to the first rotating rod 131 by a locking device. Similarly, by providing the third sliding groove 2311 and the fourth sliding groove 2312, when the width of the battery pack is small, the third bushing 2322 of the third clamping rod 232 can move along the third sliding groove 2311, or the fourth bushing 2332 of the fourth clamping rod 233 can move along the fourth sliding groove 2312, ultimately making the distance between the third clamping rod 232 and the fourth clamping rod 233 suitable for the width of the battery pack.

[0118] Depending on the requirements, the first caster 160 or the second caster 260 can be a large-diameter swivel caster with brakes or a motor-controlled steering caster. Large-diameter swivel casters with brakes are suitable for scenarios requiring manual movement of equipment, allowing for positional adjustments through manual operation, facilitating use in small-scale, precision-controlled environments. Motor-controlled steering casters, on the other hand, can be remotely operated via a remote control, enabling convenient movement of the equipment, and are particularly suitable for work environments requiring frequent equipment movement or high operational flexibility.

[0119] It is understood that the battery pack flipping device is not limited to the above embodiments. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 14 Another embodiment of this application provides a battery pack flipping device 300. The battery pack flipping device 300 includes a first support frame 310, a second support frame 410, a crossbeam assembly 20, a first spacing adjustment mechanism 320, and a second spacing adjustment mechanism 420.

[0120] A first clamping assembly 330 is provided on the first support frame 310. A first lifting mechanism 340 and a first flipping mechanism 350 are provided between the first support frame 310 and the first clamping assembly 330. The first lifting mechanism 340 is used to drive the first clamping assembly 330 to rise and fall. The first flipping mechanism 350 is used to drive the first clamping assembly 330 to flip.

[0121] A second clamping assembly 430 is provided on the second support frame 410. The first clamping assembly 330 and the second clamping assembly 430 are used to jointly clamp the battery pack. A second lifting mechanism 440 and a second flipping mechanism 450 are provided between the second support frame 410 and the second clamping assembly 430. The second lifting mechanism 440 is used to drive the second clamping assembly 430 to rise and fall. The second flipping mechanism 450 is used to drive the second clamping assembly 430 to flip.

[0122] One end of the crossbeam assembly 20 is connected to the first support frame 310. The other end of the crossbeam assembly 20 is connected to the second support frame 410.

[0123] A first spacing adjustment mechanism 320 is provided between the crossbeam assembly 20 and the first support frame 310. The first spacing adjustment mechanism 320 is used to adjust the position of the first support frame 310 on the crossbeam assembly 20. If necessary, a second spacing adjustment mechanism 420 is provided between the crossbeam assembly 20 and the second support frame 410. The second spacing adjustment mechanism 420 is used to adjust the position of the second support frame 410 on the crossbeam assembly 20.

[0124] In this embodiment, the battery pack flipping device 300 further includes a second crossbeam assembly 21. The crossbeam assembly 20 is disposed at the top of the first support frame 310 and the second support frame 410. The second crossbeam assembly 21 is disposed at the bottom of the first support frame 310 and the second support frame 410.

[0125] One end of the second crossbeam assembly 21 is connected to the first support frame 310. The other end of the second crossbeam assembly 21 is connected to the second support frame 410.

[0126] A third spacing adjustment mechanism 320' is provided between the second crossbeam assembly 21 and the first support frame 310. The third spacing adjustment mechanism 320' is linked with the first spacing adjustment mechanism 320. A fourth spacing adjustment mechanism 420' is provided between the second crossbeam assembly 21 and the second support frame 410. The fourth spacing adjustment mechanism 420' is linked with the second spacing adjustment mechanism 420.

[0127] In the battery pack flipping device 300 provided in this application, a second crossbeam assembly 21 is provided, and a third spacing adjustment mechanism 320' is provided between the second crossbeam assembly 21 and the first support frame 310. Since the third spacing adjustment mechanism 320' is linked to the first spacing adjustment mechanism 320, when the first spacing adjustment mechanism 320 is used to adjust the position of the first support frame 310 on the crossbeam assembly 20, the first spacing adjustment mechanism 320 and the third spacing adjustment mechanism 320' can act simultaneously, thereby making the movement of the first support frame 310 smoother. In fact, to make the battery pack flipping device 300 more stable, the weight of the first support frame 310 is more concentrated at its bottom. Therefore, by providing the third spacing adjustment mechanism 320', the movement of the bottom of the battery pack flipping device 300 can be more easily driven, thereby making the movement of the first support frame 310 smoother. Similarly, a fourth spacing adjustment mechanism 420' is provided between the second crossbeam assembly 21 and the second support frame 410. Because the fourth spacing adjustment mechanism 420' is linked to the second spacing adjustment mechanism 420, when the second spacing adjustment mechanism 420 is used to adjust the position of the second support frame 410 on the crossbeam assembly 21, the second spacing adjustment mechanism 420 and the fourth spacing adjustment mechanism 420' can act simultaneously, thereby making the movement of the second support frame 410 smoother. Similarly, to make the battery pack flipping device 300 more stable, the weight of the second support frame 410 is more concentrated at its bottom. Therefore, by setting the fourth spacing adjustment mechanism 420', the movement of the bottom of the battery pack flipping device 300 can be driven more conveniently, thereby making the movement of the second support frame 410 smoother.

[0128] It is understood that the battery pack flipping device is not limited to the above embodiments. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 15 Another embodiment of this application provides a battery pack flipping device 500. The battery pack flipping device 500 includes a first support frame 510, a second support frame 610, a crossbeam assembly 40, a first spacing adjustment mechanism 520, and a second spacing adjustment mechanism 620.

[0129] A first clamping assembly 530 is provided on the first support frame 510. A first lifting mechanism 540 and a first flipping mechanism 550 are provided between the first support frame 510 and the first clamping assembly 530. The first lifting mechanism 540 is used to drive the first clamping assembly 530 to rise and fall. The first flipping mechanism 550 is used to drive the first clamping assembly 530 to flip.

[0130] A second clamping assembly 630 is provided on the second support frame 610. The first clamping assembly 630 and the second clamping assembly 630 are used to jointly clamp the battery pack. A second lifting mechanism 640 and a second flipping mechanism 650 are provided between the second support frame 610 and the second clamping assembly 630. The second lifting mechanism 640 is used to drive the second clamping assembly 630 to rise and fall. The second flipping mechanism 650 is used to drive the second clamping assembly 630 to flip.

[0131] One end of the crossbeam assembly 40 is connected to the first support frame 510. The other end of the crossbeam assembly 40 is connected to the second support frame 610.

[0132] A first spacing adjustment mechanism 520 is provided between the crossbeam assembly 40 and the first support frame 510. The first spacing adjustment mechanism 520 is used to adjust the position of the first support frame 510 on the crossbeam assembly 40. If necessary, a second spacing adjustment mechanism 620 is provided between the crossbeam assembly 40 and the second support frame 610. The second spacing adjustment mechanism 620 is used to adjust the position of the second support frame 610 on the crossbeam assembly 40.

[0133] In this embodiment, the first support frame 510 is provided with a first receiving groove 511. One end of the crossbeam assembly 40 is disposed inside the first receiving groove 511. The first spacing adjustment mechanism 520 is used to adjust the depth to which the crossbeam assembly 40 extends into the first receiving groove 511.

[0134] The second support frame 610 is provided with a second receiving groove 611. The other end of the crossbeam assembly 40 is disposed inside the second receiving groove 611. The second spacing adjustment mechanism 620 is used to adjust the depth to which the crossbeam assembly 40 extends into the second receiving groove 611.

[0135] In the battery pack flipping device 500 provided in this application, by providing a first receiving groove 511 on the first support frame 510 and a second receiving groove 611 on the second support frame 610, both ends of the crossbeam assembly 40 can be accommodated in the first receiving groove 511 and the second receiving groove 611. Through this arrangement, on the one hand, the crossbeam assembly 40 will not extend too far beyond the first support frame 510 or the second support frame 610, thus avoiding obstruction of other equipment or pedestrians. On the other hand, since the first receiving groove 511, the second receiving groove 611, and the crossbeam assembly 40 together form the top crossbeam structure of the entire battery pack flipping device 500, even if the crossbeam assembly 40 used is relatively short, the top crossbeam structure formed by the first receiving groove 511, the second receiving groove 611, and the crossbeam assembly 40 still has a relatively long length, thereby allowing for a large adjustable space in the battery pack flipping device 500.

[0136] It is understood that the battery pack flipping device is not limited to the above embodiments. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 16 Another embodiment of this application provides a battery pack flipping device 700.

[0149] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0150] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.

[0151] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
