Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of stacking device, in particular to a batch stacking auxiliary device for copper bars. BACKGROUND

[0002] The copper bar is a long conductor with rectangular or chamfered rectangular cross section made of high-purity copper material. In modern industry, round corner copper bar design is commonly used to avoid sharp discharge phenomenon and ensure the safety of power transmission. In the electrical system structure, the copper bar bears the function of conveying current and connecting electrical equipment, has low resistivity, large bendability, excellent electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, and other excellent physical properties, and has been widely used in electrical equipment, especially in complete power distribution devices. As a large current conducting product, it is not only suitable for high and low voltage electrical appliances, power distribution equipment, bus ducts and other electrical engineering, but also widely used in electrolytic smelting engineering which requires super large current. It is an indispensable basic material in the field of power transmission.

[0003] Under the existing technical conditions, after the copper bar is bent, punched and formed on the production line, it is usually transported to the designated storage area by the conveying device, and then stacked and stacked by manual operation. The manual stacking efficiency is low, the labor consumption is large, and the production cost is greatly increased. Workers are prone to fatigue during repeated handling and stacking of heavy copper bars, further reducing the consistency of stacking efficiency and work quality. The manual stacking method also has safety hazards. Since the length of the copper bar usually reaches 5 to 6 meters, the weight is large, and if the operation is not proper or the physical strength is not enough, it is easy to cause product drop, collision and even personnel injury accidents. In addition, the surface of the copper bar is smooth, and it is easy to slide and shift when stacking, and it is difficult for manual stacking to ensure the stability and neatness of the stack, and there is a risk of stack collapse. Therefore, in the face of many drawbacks of the traditional stacking method, the industry has made some attempts to improve the technology, that is, to use a gantry type automatic grabbing and placing device to stack the copper bar.

[0004] The automatic grabbing and placing device in the prior art usually includes a power assembly, a gantry support, a transmission guide assembly, a suction cup assembly, a storage tray and a transfer trolley, etc. The copper bar is sucked by the suction cup assembly, the transmission guide assembly drives the suction cup assembly to reciprocate along the vertical direction, and the automatic grabbing and placing of the copper bar is realized. Although this device can reduce the labor intensity to some extent, the investment cost is high, and the surface flatness of the copper bar is required to be high. Moreover, due to the use of gantry support and other components, the device occupies a large area and wastes space. SUMMARY

[0005] Based on this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a batch stacking auxiliary device for copper busbars, so as to solve the technical problems of existing automatic gripping devices having high investment costs, high requirements for the flatness of the copper busbar surface, and large footprint and wasted space due to the use of gantry brackets and other components.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a batch stacking auxiliary device for copper busbars, comprising a body, side plates fixedly installed on both sides of the body, a first sliding groove and a second sliding groove on the inner side of each set of side plates, and multiple sets of third sliding grooves on the inner side of the top of the body, multiple sets of bearing mechanisms and two sets of lifting mechanisms are provided inside the body, the bearing mechanism comprising a bearing plate, a movable plate, a first moving rod and a second moving rod, wherein the bearing plate is slidably connected to the body, and the bearing plate is rotatably connected to the movable plate, the first moving rod is fixedly installed at the bottom of the bearing plate and slidably connected to the first sliding groove, the second moving rod is fixedly installed at the bottom of the bearing plate and slidably connected to the second sliding groove, the distance between the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove is the same as the distance between the first moving rod and the second moving rod, and the first moving rod and the second moving rod, through the cooperation of the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove, serve to keep the bearing plate in a horizontal state at all times.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, this invention ensures that the support plate remains horizontal during movement through the ingenious cooperation of the support mechanism and multiple sets of sliding grooves. At the same time, the synergistic effect of the lifting mechanism and the pneumatic mechanism enables the cyclic use of multiple sets of support plates. Furthermore, by setting limiting blocks and high-friction channels, the falling speed is effectively controlled, enhancing operational safety and preventing the risk of stack collapse. It also effectively prevents the copper busbars from tilting or slipping during stacking, improving the stability and neatness of the stack. Moreover, the overall mechanism reduces manual operation, lowers labor intensity and production costs, and solves the technical problems of existing automatic gripping devices being complex in structure, having high investment costs, requiring high flatness of the copper busbar surface, and having a large footprint and wasting space due to the use of gantry brackets and other components.

[0008] Further, the first chute includes a first drop chute, a first inclined chute, a first rising chute, and a horizontal chute, wherein the horizontal chute is formed on the inner top of the side plate, the first drop chute is formed on one side of the side plate and is connected to the horizontal chute, the first rising chute is formed on the other side of the horizontal chute, the first inclined chute is formed on one side of the first drop chute and is connected to the first rising chute through the first inclined chute, and the second chute includes a second drop chute, a second inclined chute, a second rising chute, and a horizontal chute, wherein the second drop chute is formed on one side of the side plate and is connected to the horizontal chute, the second rising chute is formed on the other side of the horizontal chute, the second inclined chute is formed on one side of the second drop chute and is connected to the second rising chute through the second inclined chute, a first limiting block is movably installed inside the first drop chute, a second limiting block is movably installed inside the second drop chute, and springs are installed between the first limiting block and the second limiting block and the side plate.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the copper busbar begins to fall under the action of gravity, while the first and second moving rods slide in the first and second falling grooves respectively. Due to the high friction characteristics inside, the copper busbar will not fall at a very fast speed. During the fall of the copper busbar and the support plate, since the first and second falling grooves are inclined downwards, the support plate will move towards the inside of the machine body during the fall. After the copper busbar falls to a certain height, the first moving rod will contact the first limiting block, and the second moving rod will contact the second limiting block. A spring is set between the first and second limiting blocks and the side plate. Therefore, the fall of the first and second moving rods will naturally squeeze the first and second limiting blocks, so that the first and second moving rods can pass through the first and second limiting blocks until the support plate falls to the bottom of the first and second falling grooves.

[0010] Furthermore, the bearing mechanism also includes a movable shaft and a limiting block. The movable shaft is fixedly installed at one end of the movable plate, and the movable plate is rotatably connected to the bearing plate through the movable shaft. A torsion spring is installed between the movable shaft and the bearing plate. The limiting block is fixedly installed on both sides of the movable shaft. The third slide groove includes a limiting groove and a reset groove. The limiting groove is opened on the inner side of the top of the machine body, and the cross-sectional size of the limiting groove is the same as the cross-sectional size of the limiting block. The reset groove is opened on one side of the side plate, and the limiting block is slidably connected to the machine body through the limiting groove and the reset groove.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the initial position of the limiting block is located in the third slide groove. After the copper busbar contacts the movable plate, since the cross-sectional size of the limiting groove matches the cross-sectional size of the limiting block, and the limiting block is roughly square, the limiting block located in the limiting groove will be restricted and will not cause the movable plate to rotate after the copper busbar contacts the movable plate. Therefore, the entire bearing mechanism will move together under the action of the pushing module and the copper busbar. At this time, the limiting block will slide in the limiting groove.

[0012] Furthermore, two sets of pneumatic mechanisms are installed on one side of the machine body. Each pneumatic mechanism includes a cylinder, a fixed seat, a rotating component, and a limiting plate. The cylinder is fixedly installed on one side of the machine body, the fixed seat is fixedly installed on the top of the cylinder, the rotating component is rotatably connected to one side of the fixed seat, and the limiting plate is rotatably connected to the bottom of the fixed seat. A torsion spring is installed on the limiting plate and the fixed seat.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the pneumatic mechanism will be activated by the control module. After the cylinder is activated, its telescopic end will cause the fixed seat to retract until it returns to the limit position of the cylinder. During the retraction process, the rotating part will contact the second moving rod of another set of bearing mechanisms, and then the rotating part will be passively rotated. After the rotating part passes through the limiting plate, one side of the rotating part will reach the bottom of the second moving rod. At this time, the cylinder will be activated again, which will cause the fixed seat to rise. At this time, one side of the rotating part will contact the limiting plate. A torsion spring is installed between the limiting plate and the fixed seat, and the limiting plate is installed at the bottom of the fixed seat. Therefore, the rotating part can pass through the limiting plate from top to bottom, but cannot pass through the limiting plate from bottom to top in the opposite direction. So after the fixed seat rises, the rotating part will rise together with the second moving rod under the action of the limiting plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes lifting modules and lifting plates, wherein one set of lifting modules is fixedly installed at the bottom of the machine body, and another set of lifting modules is fixedly installed on one side of the machine body. The lifting plates are fixedly installed on the top of the lifting modules, and the two sets of lifting plates are staggered.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting module includes a drive component and a hinged lifting component. After the lifting module is activated, the lifting plate will lift multiple sets of supporting mechanisms together. During the lifting process, the lifting plate will first pass by one side of another set of lifting mechanisms. Then, the first moving rod and the second moving rod will enter the first inclined groove and then the second inclined groove respectively. Afterwards, the supporting plate and the movable plate will move horizontally on the top of the lifting plate with the cooperation of the first moving rod and the second moving rod and the first inclined groove and the second inclined groove. Then, the other set of lifting mechanisms will be activated to make the lifting plate rise. The two sets of lifting plates are staggered. Therefore, during the process of making the lifting plate rise, the supporting mechanism will move from one set of lifting plates to the other set of lifting plates, so that multiple sets of first moving rods and multiple sets of second moving rods will enter the first lifting groove and the second lifting groove respectively, thereby making multiple sets of supporting mechanisms return to their initial positions.

[0016] Furthermore, a placement mechanism is provided on one side of the machine body. The placement mechanism includes a placement compartment, an inclined plate, and a movable seat. The movable seat is located on the outside of the machine body. The placement compartment is fixedly installed on the top of the movable seat. Two sets of inclined plates are fixedly installed on one side of the top of the placement compartment.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the storage compartment is full, the user can use a tool to move the mobile seat out from its base. The mobile seat is equipped with wheels at the bottom, which facilitates the transportation of the copper busbar.

[0018] Furthermore, a transmission module is installed on one side of the machine body, the top of the transmission module is at the same level as the top of the machine body, and a push module is provided on one side of the top of the transmission module.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, after the copper busbar is processed, it is transported by the conveying module to the position where it needs to be stacked. At this time, the pushing module will be activated. The pushing module consists of an electric push rod and a push plate. Under the action of the electric push rod, the push plate will push the copper busbar to move laterally.

[0020] In summary, the present invention has the following advantages: Through the ingenious cooperation of the supporting mechanism and multiple sets of sliding grooves, the present invention ensures that the supporting plate remains horizontal during movement. Simultaneously, the synergistic effect of the lifting mechanism and pneumatic mechanism enables the cyclical use of multiple sets of supporting plates. Furthermore, by setting limiting blocks and high-friction channels, the falling speed is effectively controlled, enhancing operational safety and preventing the risk of stack collapse. It also effectively prevents the copper busbars from tilting or slipping during stacking, improving the stability and neatness of the stack. Moreover, the overall mechanism reduces manual operation, lowers labor intensity and production costs, and solves the technical problems of existing automatic gripping devices having high investment costs, requiring high flatness of the copper busbar surface, and occupying a large area due to the use of gantry brackets and other components, resulting in wasted space.

[0037] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0038] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described.

[0039] A batch stacking auxiliary device for copper busbars, such as Figures 1-15 As shown, the device includes a body 1, with side plates 2 fixedly installed on both sides of the body 1. Each set of side plates 2 has a first sliding groove 3 and a second sliding groove 4 on its inner side. Multiple sets of third sliding grooves 5 are opened on the inner side of the top of the body 1. Multiple sets of bearing mechanisms 6 are installed inside the body 1. Two sets of lifting mechanisms 7 are installed inside the body 1. A conveying module 11 is installed on one side of the body 1. The top of the conveying module 11 is at the same level as the top of the body 1. A pushing module 10 is set on one side of the top of the conveying module 11. After the copper busbars are processed, they are conveyed by the conveying module 11 to the position where they need to be stacked. At this time, the pushing module 10 will be activated. The pushing module 10 consists of an electric push rod and a push plate. Under the action of the electric push rod, the push plate will push the copper busbars to move laterally.

[0040] Furthermore, the supporting mechanism 6 includes a supporting plate 601, a movable plate 602, a first moving rod 603, and a second moving rod 604. The supporting plate 601 is slidably connected to the body 1, and the supporting plate 601 is rotatably connected to the movable plate 602. The first moving rod 603 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the supporting plate 601 and is slidably connected to the first sliding groove 3. The second moving rod 604 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the supporting plate 601 and is slidably connected to the second sliding groove 4. The distance between the first sliding groove 3 and the second sliding groove 4 is the same as the distance between the first moving rod 603 and the second moving rod 604. The first moving rod 603 and the second moving rod 604, through the cooperation of the first sliding groove 3 and the second sliding groove 4, ensure that the supporting plate 601 is always in a horizontal state.

[0041] After the copper busbar is pushed onto the support plate 601, it will continue to move on the support plate 601 under the action of the push module 10 until one side of the copper busbar touches the movable plate 602. The initial state of the movable plate 602 is perpendicular to the support plate 601. Therefore, the entire support mechanism 6 will move together under the action of the push module 10 and the copper busbar. The first moving rod 603 will move in the first slide 3 and the second moving rod 604 will move in the second slide 4 until the copper busbar falls naturally into the placement mechanism 9 under the influence of gravity. Then the next set of copper busbars can be stacked. The movable plate 602 and the copper busbar of the next set will continue to enter the placement chamber 901. The movable plate 602 will be sandwiched between the two sets of copper busbars. Then the lifting mechanism 7 will be activated. The lifting plate 702 will lift the multiple sets of support mechanisms 6 together, so that the multiple sets of support mechanisms 6 return to their initial positions.

[0042] In the example, the first chute 3 includes a first drop chute 301, a first inclined chute 302, a first rise chute 303, and a horizontal chute 305. The horizontal chute 305 is located on the inner top of the side plate 2. The first drop chute 301 is located on one side of the side plate 2 and is connected to the horizontal chute 305. The first rise chute 303 is located on the other side of the horizontal chute 305. The first inclined chute 302 is located on one side of the first drop chute 301 and is connected to the first rise chute 303 through the first inclined chute 302.

[0043] Furthermore, the second chute 4 includes a second falling chute 401, a second inclined chute 402, a second rising chute 403, and a horizontal chute 405. The second falling chute 401 is located on one side of the side plate 2 and is connected to the horizontal chute 305. The second rising chute 403 is located on the other side of the horizontal chute 305. The second inclined chute 402 is located on one side of the second falling chute 401 and is connected to the second rising chute 403 through the second inclined chute 402.

[0044] The copper busbar begins to fall under the influence of gravity, while the first moving rod 603 and the second moving rod 604 slide within the first falling groove 301 and the second falling groove 401, respectively. Due to the high friction within these grooves, the copper busbar does not fall at an excessively high speed. During the descent of the copper busbar and the support plate 601, because the first falling groove 301 and the second falling groove 401 are angled downwards, the support plate 601 moves inwards towards the body 1 during the descent. After the copper busbar falls to a certain height, the first moving rod 603 contacts the first limiting block 304, and simultaneously, the second moving rod 604 contacts the second limiting block 404. A spring is provided between block 304 and the second limiting block 404 and the side plate 2. Therefore, when the first moving rod 603 and the second moving rod 604 fall, they will naturally squeeze the first limiting block 304 and the second limiting block 404, so that the first moving rod 603 and the second moving rod 604 can pass through the first limiting block 304 and the second limiting block 404 until the bearing plate 601 falls to the bottom of the first falling groove 301 and the second falling groove 401. The first limiting block 304 is movably installed inside the first falling groove 301, and the second limiting block 404 is movably installed inside the second falling groove 401. A spring is installed between the first limiting block 304 and the second limiting block 404 and the side plate 2.

[0045] In the example, the bearing mechanism 6 also includes a movable shaft 605 and a limiting block 606, wherein the movable shaft 605 is fixedly installed at one end of the movable plate 602, and the movable plate 602 is rotatably connected to the bearing plate 601 through the movable shaft 605, and a torsion spring is installed between the movable shaft 605 and the bearing plate 601, and the limiting block 606 is fixedly installed on both sides of the movable shaft 605.

[0046] The initial position of the limiting block 606 is located in the third slide groove 5. After the copper busbar contacts the movable plate 602, since the cross-sectional size of the limiting groove 501 matches the cross-sectional size of the limiting block 606, and the limiting block 606 is roughly square, the limiting block 606 located in the limiting groove 501 will be restricted and will not cause the movable plate 602 to rotate after the copper busbar contacts the movable plate 602. Therefore, the entire bearing mechanism 6 will move together under the action of the pushing module 10 and the copper busbar. At this time, the limiting block 606 will slide in the limiting groove 501.

[0047] Furthermore, the third slide groove 5 includes a limiting groove 501 and a reset groove 502. The limiting groove 501 is opened on the inner side of the top of the body 1, and the cross-sectional size of the limiting groove 501 is the same as the cross-sectional size of the limiting block 606. The reset groove 502 is opened on one side of the side plate 2, and the limiting block 606 is slidably connected to the body 1 through the limiting groove 501 and the reset groove 502.

[0048] In the example, the lifting mechanism 7 includes a lifting module 701 and a lifting plate 702. One set of lifting modules 701 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the body 1, and another set of lifting modules 701 is fixedly installed on one side of the body 1. The lifting plate 702 is fixedly installed on the top of the lifting module 701, and the two sets of lifting plates 702 are staggered.

[0049] The lifting mechanism 7 will be activated. The lifting module 701 includes a drive assembly and a hinged lifting assembly. After the lifting module 701 is activated, the lifting plate 702 will lift multiple sets of supporting mechanisms 6 together. During the lifting process, the lifting plate 702 will first pass by one side of another set of lifting mechanisms 7. Then, the first moving rod 603 and the second moving rod 604 will enter the first inclined groove 302 and then the second inclined groove 402 respectively. Afterwards, the supporting plate 601 and the movable plate 602 will be connected by the first moving rod 603 and the second moving rod 604. With the cooperation of the first inclined groove 302 and the second inclined groove 402, the lifting plate 702 moves horizontally at the top. Then, another set of lifting mechanisms 7 is activated to raise the lifting plate 702. Since the two sets of lifting plates 702 are staggered, during the process of raising the lifting plate 702, the bearing mechanism 6 will move from one set of lifting plates 702 to the other set of lifting plates 702, so that multiple sets of first moving rods 603 and multiple sets of second moving rods 604 enter the first lifting groove 303 and the second lifting groove 403 respectively, thereby causing multiple sets of bearing mechanisms 6 to return to the initial position.

[0050] Furthermore, two sets of pneumatic mechanisms 8 are installed on one side of the machine body 1. The pneumatic mechanism 8 includes a cylinder 801, a fixed seat 802, a rotating component 803, and a limiting plate 804. The cylinder 801 is fixedly installed on one side of the machine body 1, the fixed seat 802 is fixedly installed on the top of the cylinder 801, the rotating component 803 is rotatably connected to one side of the fixed seat 802, and the limiting plate 804 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the fixed seat 802. A torsion spring is installed on the limiting plate 804 and the fixed seat 802.

[0051] Under the control module, the pneumatic mechanism 8 will be activated by air supply. After the cylinder 801 is activated, its telescopic end will cause the fixed seat 802 to retract until it returns to the limit position of the cylinder 801. During the retraction process, the rotating part 803 will contact the second moving rod 604 of another set of bearing mechanism 6, and then the rotating part 803 will be passively rotated. After the rotating part 803 passes through the limiting plate 804, one side of it will reach the bottom of the second moving rod 604. At this time, the cylinder 801 will be activated again, causing the fixed seat 802 to rise. At this time, one side of the rotating part 803 will contact the limiting plate 804. A torsion spring is installed between the limiting plate 804 and the fixed seat 802, and the limiting plate 804 is installed at the bottom of the fixed seat 802. Therefore, the rotating part 803 can pass through the limiting plate 804 from top to bottom, but cannot pass through the limiting plate 804 from bottom to top. So after the fixed seat 802 rises, the rotating part 803 will rise together with the second moving rod 604 under the action of the limiting plate 804.

[0052] In the example, a placement mechanism 9 is provided on one side of the body 1. The placement mechanism 9 includes a placement compartment 901, a ramp 902, and a movable seat 903. The movable seat 903 is located on the outside of the body 1. The placement compartment 901 is fixedly installed on the top of the movable seat 903. Two sets of ramps 902 are fixedly installed on one side of the top of the placement compartment 901. When the placement compartment 901 is full, the user can use a tool to move the movable seat 903 out of its base. The movable seat 903 is equipped with wheels at the bottom for easy transportation of copper busbars.

[0053] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When in use, after the copper busbar is processed, it is first transported by the conveying module 11 to the position where it needs to be stacked. At this time, the pushing module 10 will be activated. The pushing module 10 consists of an electric push rod and a push plate. Under the action of the electric push rod, the push plate will push the copper busbar to move laterally.

[0054] The pushing module 10 pushes the copper busbar onto the support mechanism 6 on the top of the body 1. Flexible anti-wear pads can be fixed on the body 1 and the support mechanism 6 to prevent wear on the copper busbar during the pushing process.

[0055] At this time, after the copper busbar is pushed onto the support plate 601, under the action of the push module 10, the copper busbar will continue to move on the support plate 601 until one side of the copper busbar touches the movable plate 602. The initial state of the movable plate 602 is perpendicular to the support plate 601. A movable shaft 605 is installed at the connection between the movable plate 602 and the support plate 601. The movable shaft 605 is fixed on the movable plate 602, and limit blocks 606 are installed at both ends of the movable shaft 605.

[0056] The initial position of the limiting block 606 is located in the third slide groove 5. After the copper busbar contacts the movable plate 602, since the cross-sectional size of the limiting groove 501 matches the cross-sectional size of the limiting block 606, and the limiting block 606 is roughly square, the limiting block 606 located in the limiting groove 501 will be restricted and will not cause the movable plate 602 to rotate after the copper busbar contacts the movable plate 602.

[0057] Therefore, the entire bearing mechanism 6 will move together under the action of the pushing module 10 and the copper busbar. At this time, the limiting block 606 will slide in the limiting groove 501. The first sliding groove 3 and the second sliding groove 4 are opened on the inner side of the side plates 2 on both sides of the body 1. The first moving rod 603 will move in the first sliding groove 3 and the second moving rod 604 will move in the second sliding groove 4.

[0058] When the support plate 601 and the movable plate 602 are pushed by the copper busbar and the pushing module 10, the first moving rod 603 and the second moving rod 604 will move together in the horizontal groove 305. The cross-sectional diameter of the first moving rod 603 is larger than that of the second moving rod 604, and the overall length of the first moving rod 603 is about five centimeters shorter than that of the second moving rod 604. The horizontal groove 305 is also divided into two sets of grooves, which are respectively adapted to the first moving rod 603 and the second moving rod 604. Therefore, when the support plate 601 and the copper busbar move, the first moving rod 603 and the second moving rod 604 will be restricted in the horizontal groove 305, so that the support plate 601 and the copper busbar can move horizontally.

[0059] When the support plate 601 and the copper busbar move horizontally a certain distance, the limiting block 606 will move out of the limiting groove 501. At this time, the limiting groove 501 will release the limiting block 606. However, a torsion spring is installed at the connection between the movable shaft 605 and the support plate 601. Therefore, under the action of the torsion spring, the movable plate 602 and the support plate 601 will continue to be in a horizontal state, and the support mechanism 6 and the copper busbar will continue to be pushed by the pushing module 10 until the first moving rod 603 reaches the limit position of the horizontal groove 305.

[0060] At this time, under the action of the copper busbar's own weight, the first moving rod 603 will enter the first downward-sloping drop groove 301, and the second moving rod 604 will also enter the second drop groove 401. The distance between the first drop groove 301 and the second drop groove 401 is the same as the distance between the first moving rod 603 and the second moving rod 604. Therefore, the first moving rod 603 and the second moving rod 604 will always fall horizontally. Furthermore, on the inside of the two sets of side plates 2, in the first drop groove 301 and the second drop groove 401, a material with a relatively rough surface is designed to ensure that the first drop groove 301 and the second drop groove 401 have high friction characteristics.

[0061] Therefore, the copper busbar begins to fall under the action of gravity, while the first moving rod 603 and the second moving rod 604 slide in the first falling groove 301 and the second falling groove 401 respectively. Due to the high friction characteristics inside, the copper busbar will not fall at a very fast speed. After the copper busbar falls to a certain height, the first moving rod 603 will contact the first limiting block 304, and at the same time, the second moving rod 604 will contact the second limiting block 404. A spring is provided between the first limiting block 304, the second limiting block 404 and the side plate 2. Therefore, the first moving rod 603 and the second moving rod 604 will naturally squeeze the first limiting block 304 and the second limiting block 404 as they fall, so that the first moving rod 603 and the second moving rod 604 can pass through the first limiting block 304 and the second limiting block 404, and then continue to fall to the bottom of the first falling groove 301 and the second falling groove 401.

[0062] During the descent of the copper busbar and the support plate 601, since the first descent groove 301 and the second descent groove 401 are inclined downwards, the support plate 601 will move towards the interior of the machine body 1 during the descent. When it falls, the copper busbar will enter the placement mechanism 9. The copper busbar will first contact the inclined plate 902 at the top of the placement compartment 901. The inclined surface of the inclined plate 902 is opposite to the inclination direction of the first descent groove 301 and the second descent groove 401. Therefore, when the support plate 601 and the copper busbar fall, the copper busbar will be passively squeezed by the inclined plate 902, causing the movable shaft 605 to start rotating until the movable plate 602 and the support plate 601 are in a horizontal state. Then the copper busbar will move to the top of the movable plate 602 and enter the placement compartment 901.

[0063] A control module is located at the bottom of the body 1. Under the action of the control module, the pneumatic mechanism 8 will be activated by air supply. After the cylinder 801 is activated, its telescopic end will cause the fixed seat 802 to retract until it returns to the limit position of the cylinder 801. During the retraction process, the rotating part 803 will contact the second moving rod 604 of another set of bearing mechanisms 6, and then the rotating part 803 will be passively rotated. After passing the limiting plate 804, one side of the rotating part 803 will reach the bottom of the second moving rod 604. At this time, the cylinder 801 will be activated again, causing the fixed seat 802 to rise. At this time, one side of the rotating part 803 will contact the limiting plate 804. A torsion spring is installed between the limiting plate 804 and the fixed seat 802, and the limiting plate 804 is installed at the bottom of the fixed seat 802. Therefore, the rotating part 803 can pass through the limiting plate 804 from top to bottom, but cannot pass through the limiting plate 804 from bottom to top in the opposite direction. So after the fixed seat 802 rises, the rotating part 803 will rise together with the second moving rod 604 under the action of the limiting plate 804. The first moving rod 603 in each set of bearing mechanisms 6 will rise in the first rising groove 303, and the second moving rod 604 will rise in the second rising groove 403, so that the other set of bearing mechanisms 6 reaches the top of the body 1.

[0064] Next, one of the lifting mechanisms 7 of the body 1 will be activated. The lifting module 701 includes a drive component and a hinged lifting component. After the lifting module 701 is activated, the lifting plate 702 will lift multiple load-bearing mechanisms 6 together.

[0065] Then the next set of copper busbars can be stacked. The movable plate 602 and the copper busbars of the next set will continue to enter the placement chamber 901. The movable plate 602 will be sandwiched between the two sets of copper busbars. When the placement chamber 901 is full, the user can use the tool to move the moving seat 903 out of its base. The moving seat 903 is equipped with wheels at the bottom to facilitate the transportation of the copper busbars. After the moving seat 903 moves away with the placement chamber 901, the movable plate 602 will be released from its restraint. Under the elastic action of the torsion spring, the movable plate 602 will return to its original position. Only the top movable plate 602 will return to its original position completely, and the rising plate 702 of one of the rising mechanisms 7 will retract and be in a retracted state.

[0066] At this time, the lifting mechanism 7 at the bottom of the machine body 1 will be activated. Since the support plate 601 will stop at the top of the lifting plate 702 after it descends to the bottom of the machine body 1, after the lifting module 701 is activated, the lifting plate 702 will rise together with multiple sets of support mechanisms 6. The first moving rod 603 and the second moving rod 604 will pass through the first limiting block 304 and the second limiting block 404 respectively, and then enter the first inclined groove 302 and the second inclined groove 402 respectively. The distance between the first inclined groove 302 and the second inclined groove 402 is the same as the distance between the first moving rod 603 and the second moving rod 604.

[0067] During the ascent process, the rising plate 702 will first pass through one side of another set of rising mechanisms 7. Then, the first moving rod 603 and the second moving rod 604 will enter the first inclined groove 302 and then the second inclined groove 402 respectively. After that, the bearing plate 601 and the movable plate 602 will move horizontally at the top of the rising plate 702 with the cooperation of the first moving rod 603 and the second moving rod 604 and the first inclined groove 302 and the second inclined groove 402.

[0068] Then another set of lifting mechanisms 7 is activated, causing the lifting plate 702 to rise. Since the two sets of lifting plates 702 are designed in an alternating manner, during the process of raising the lifting plate 702, the supporting mechanism 6 will move from one set of lifting plates 702 to the other set of lifting plates 702, thereby causing multiple sets of first moving rods 603 and multiple sets of second moving rods 604 to enter the first lifting groove 303 and the second lifting groove 403 respectively, and then causing multiple sets of supporting mechanisms 6 to return to their initial positions.

[0069] During the ascent of the bearing mechanism 6, multiple sets of limit blocks 606 will also enter the reset groove 502 and move up together with the lifting mechanism 7 until the pneumatic mechanism 8 brings the topmost bearing mechanism 6 to the top of the body 1. Then, another set of placement mechanisms 9 will be moved to the base on one side of the body 1, and the copper busbars can continue to be stacked.

[0070] The above structure can solve the technical problems of existing automatic gripping devices, such as high investment costs, high requirements for the flatness of copper busbar surfaces, and large footprint and wasted space due to the use of gantry brackets and other components.
