While completing the degassing, the airtightness of the battery is ensured, the structural integrity of the battery is maintained, and its service life is improved.
[0015] 2. This invention incorporates multiple gripper assemblies, enabling batch degassing of batteries and improving work efficiency. Furthermore, this invention offers excellent scalability; by adding or removing X-axis robotic arm assemblies or adjusting the number of grippers on individual robotic arms, it can adapt to production tasks of varying scales based on actual production needs.
[0016] 3. The position of the A-type gripper assembly in this invention can be adjusted by manually rotating the adjustment disc to adapt to the degassing requirements of batteries of different thicknesses and sizes.
[0017] 4. During the clamping process, the clamping slider mounting block compresses the pressure spring to store elastic potential energy, which drives the pin shaft to move, enabling the gripper assembly to achieve flexible closure. This elastic buffering mechanism effectively avoids rigid impact between the gripper and the battery, improving operational safety and adaptability. Attached Figure Description
