DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0044] The present application provides a robot arm, in which the clamping arm can drive the spacing of multiple clamping jaws connected to it to increase or decrease equidistantly, so that the spacing between any two adjacent clamping jaws can adapt to the distance between batteries with varying specifications and sizes, and then the two clamping arms are driven to clamp through a telescopic drive member, thereby realizing the synchronous clamping of multiple batteries.

[0045] It should be noted that the first direction is the X-axis direction in the figure, that is, the length direction of the battery, the second direction is the Y-axis direction in the figure, that is, the width direction of the battery, and the third direction is the height direction of the battery. Of course, the first direction can also be the width direction of the battery, and the second direction can also be the length direction of the battery.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a manipulator, which may include: a carrier 1, wherein the carrier 1 is provided with two clamping arms 2 spaced apart along a first direction, wherein the first clamping arm 2 is slidably connected to the carrier 1 along the first direction, and the second clamping arm 2 is fixed to the carrier 1; a telescopic driving member 3, wherein the telescopic driving member 3 is provided on the carrier 1 and connected to the first clamping arm 2; the clamping arm 2 has a plurality of jaws 21, and the clamping arm 2 can drive the spacing of the plurality of jaws 21 to increase or decrease equidistantly along the second direction; the plurality of jaws 21 in the first clamping arm 2 corresponds one-to-one to the plurality of jaws 21 in the second clamping arm 2, and when the telescopic driving member 3 drives the first clamping arm 2 to approach the second clamping arm 2, the jaws 21 in the first clamping arm 2 approach the corresponding jaws 21 in the second clamping arm 2 to clamp the battery. Among them, counting from the first direction, the first clamp arm 2 is a movable clamp arm 2, which is slidably arranged on the carrier 1 and connected to the telescopic driving member 3, and the second clamp arm 2 is a fixed clamp arm 2, which is fixedly arranged on the carrier 1. The telescopic driving member 3 can drive the first clamp arm 2 to move closer to the second clamp arm 2 to achieve the clamping work of the object between the two clamp arms 2. Then, each clamp arm 2 has a plurality of clamp claws 21, and the plurality of clamp claws 21 are equidistantly spaced along the second direction, and the clamp arm 2 can drive the spacing of the plurality of clamp claws 21 to be equidistantly larger or smaller to adapt to the plurality of batteries equidistantly distributed along the second direction.

[0047] Illustratively, according to the multiple batteries equidistantly distributed along the second direction, the clamp arm 2 can drive the spacing of the multiple clamping jaws 21 connected to itself to be equidistantly increased or decreased, so that the spacing between any two adjacent clamping jaws 21 is consistent with the spacing between any two adjacent batteries. Subsequently, the telescopic drive member 3 can drive the first clamping arm 2 to move close to the second clamping arm 2 along the first direction, so that the clamping jaw 21 of the first clamping arm 2 moves close to the corresponding clamping jaw 21 of the second clamping arm 2, and the battery between the two clamping jaws 21 is clamped, thereby realizing the synchronous clamping of batteries that are arranged side by side and have equidistant sizes that change.

[0048] In some embodiments, the telescopic driving member 3 may be an electric push rod, a hydraulic push rod or a linear module to drive the first clamping arm 2 to move along the first direction.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the clamp arm 2 may include: a mounting plate 22, a plurality of clamping jaws 21 equidistantly arranged on the mounting plate 22 along the second direction, one of the clamping jaws 21 is fixed to the mounting plate 22, and the remaining plurality of clamping jaws 21 are slidably connected to the mounting plate 22 along the second direction, wherein one of the clamping jaws 21 refers to the clamping jaw 21 located between the starting end clamping jaw 21 and the ending end clamping jaw 21, and illustratively, one of the clamping jaws 21 may be the fourth clamping jaw 21 from left to right, that is, Figure 2 The fixed clamp 211; the first drive component 23, the first drive component 23 is arranged on the mounting plate 22, and among the remaining multiple clamps 21, one of the clamps 21 is connected to the first drive component 23. For example, one of the clamps 21 here refers to the fifth clamp 21 from left to right; the scissors-fork structure 24, the scissors-fork structure 24 is connected to the multiple clamps 21, and the scissors-fork structure 24 can be extended and retracted along the second direction; the mounting plate 22 of the first clamp arm 2 is connected to the telescopic drive member 3, and the mounting plate 22 of the second clamp arm 2 is fixed to the carrier 1. Exemplarily, two guide rails are fixed at intervals along the third direction on the front side of the mounting plate 22, and the length direction of the guide rails extends along the second direction. The two guide rails are provided with multiple slides (the fourth slide from left to right is fixed to the mounting plate 22 by bolts, and the remaining multiple slides are slidably connected to the two guide rails). The number of slides is consistent with the number of clamps 21. Each slide is fixed to a clamp 21 on the back side of the mounting plate 22 to achieve the installation of the clamp 21. The first drive assembly 23 can be set on the front side of the mounting plate 22 and connected to a slide that is slidably connected.

[0050] Specifically, the first driving assembly 23 is driven to extend, which can drive the directly connected slide plate (that is, Figure 2 The fifth skateboard (counted from left to right in the figure) moves along the right side. Under the transmission of the scissor-fork structure 24, the four skateboards on the right side of the fourth skateboard (counted from left to right) can be moved to the right, and the three skateboards on the left side can be moved to the left, and the distance between any two adjacent skateboards can be equidistantly increased. Correspondingly, that is, with the fixed jaw 211 as the center, the four jaws 21 on the right side of the fixed jaw 211 move to the right, and the three jaws 21 on the left side move to the left, and the distance between any two adjacent jaws 21 can be equidistantly increased, thereby achieving equidistant increase in the distance between multiple jaws 21 to accommodate multiple batteries equidistantly distributed along the second direction. Similarly, the first drive assembly 23 is driven to contract to achieve equidistant reduction in the distance between multiple jaws 21.

[0051] Furthermore, the first driving assembly 23 may include: a first linear module 231, the first linear module 231 is installed on the mounting plate 22, and among the remaining multiple clamps 21 (that is, multiple clamps 21 that are slidably arranged), one of the clamps 21 is connected to the first linear module 231.

[0052] Of course, the first driving assembly 23 may also be an electric push rod or a hydraulic push rod.

[0053] Further, if Figure 2 As shown, the first drive component 23 may also include: three in-position sensors 232, the three in-position sensors 232 are installed on the mounting plate 22, and the three in-position sensors 232 are spaced apart along the second direction, and are used to monitor the movement distance of the clamp 21 connected to the first linear module 231; counting along the second direction, when the controller monitors that the clamp 21 moves from the second in-position sensor 232 to the first in-position sensor 232 or when the control monitors that the clamp 21 moves from the second in-position sensor 232 to the third in-position sensor 232, the controller stops the operation of the first linear module 231. Among them, when the controller monitors that the clamp 21 moves from the second in-place sensor 232 to the first in-place sensor 232, it means that the scissors-type structure 24 is in an extreme contraction state, and the operation of the first linear module 231 needs to be stopped immediately to prevent damage to the scissors-type structure 24. It also means that the distance between the two clamps 21 is the smallest. When the manipulator is not in use, the clamp 21 can be retracted and stored to reduce the occupied space; when the controller monitors that the clamp 21 moves from the second in-place sensor 232 to the third in-place sensor 232, it means that the scissors-type structure 24 is in a maximum opening state. The operation of the first linear module 231 needs to be stopped immediately to prevent damage to the scissors-type structure 24. It also means that the distance between the two clamps 21 is the largest at this time, and the battery with the maximum distance distribution can be clamped.

[0054] Exemplarily, the in-position sensor 232 can be a slot-type photoelectric device. A small iron sheet is provided on the slide plate directly connected to the first drive component 23. When the small iron sheet blocks the groove of the slot-type photoelectric device, it triggers the signal of the slot-type photoelectric device. The variable distance range of the scissors-type structure 24 is limited, and the upper and lower limits of the variable distance range can be monitored to prevent the scissors-type structure 24 from exceeding the limit and being damaged.

[0055] Of course, in some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the scissor structure 24 can be eliminated, and an electric push rod or a hydraulic push rod is connected between any two adjacent clamping jaws 21, and any clamping jaw 21 between the clamping jaw 21 at the starting end and the clamping jaw 21 at the end end can be a fixed clamping jaw 21, for example, that is, Figure 2The fourth fixed clamp 211 from left to right in the figure. Specifically, after controlling the telescopic end of one electric push rod or hydraulic push rod to be extended to the desired position, the telescopic end of the next electric push rod or hydraulic push rod is controlled to be extended to the desired position, and so on, the telescopic ends of all the electric push rods or hydraulic push rods are extended to the desired position, so that the distance between any two adjacent clamps 21 can be equidistantly increased. Similarly, the telescopic ends of all the electric push rods or hydraulic push rods are controlled to be retracted in sequence, so that the distance between any two adjacent clamps 21 can be equidistantly decreased.

[0056] Further, if Figure 3 As shown, the manipulator may further include: a second drive component 4, the second drive component 4 is disposed on the carrier 1, the second drive component 4 is connected to a visual camera 5, and the second drive component 4 can drive the visual camera 5 to move along the second direction. Among them, by driving the visual camera 5 to move along the second direction through the second drive component 4, the visual camera 5 can take pictures of the distance between two adjacent batteries and calculate the distance value between two adjacent batteries, so as to facilitate the subsequent driving of the movement amount of the driving end of the first drive component 23, and adjust the distance between any two adjacent jaws 21 to be equal to the distance between any two adjacent batteries, thereby ensuring that the two jaws 21 spaced apart along the first direction can centrally clamp the opposite sides of the battery.

[0057] Exemplarily, the second driving assembly 4 may include: a second linear module 41 , which is disposed on the carrier 1 and connected to the visual camera 5 .

[0058] Of course, the second driving assembly 4 can also be an electric push rod or a hydraulic push rod.

[0059] Further, if Figure 1 As shown, the fixed clamp arm 2 is equipped with a plurality of foolproof sensors 12, which are spaced apart along the second direction, and can monitor in real time whether there are any foreign objects blocking the surroundings. Once the foolproof sensor 12 detects the presence of foreign objects, the controller will immediately take corresponding safety measures, including stopping the movement of the clamping jaw 21 or issuing an alarm signal, to ensure the safety and stability of the operation process.

[0060] In some embodiments, the present application provides a battery transport device, which includes the robot arm as described above.

[0061] Further, such as Figure 4As shown, the battery transfer device may also include: two limit bars 6, the length direction of the limit bars 6 is extended along the second direction, the two limit bars 6 are slidably connected with a plurality of first guide bars 7 and a plurality of second guide bars 8 along the second direction; the plurality of first guide bars 7 and the plurality of second guide bars 8 are alternately distributed along the second direction, so that a channel 9 is formed between adjacent first guide bars 7 and second guide bars 8, and the channel 9 is located below the manipulator; a third drive component 10 and a fourth drive component 11, the third drive component 10 is connected to the plurality of first guide bars 7, and the fourth drive component 11 is connected to the plurality of second guide bars 8, the third drive component 10 and the fourth drive component 11 can drive the first guide bars 7 and the second guide bars 8 to move closer or farther away, so that the size of the channel 9 along the second direction becomes larger or smaller. Among them, the limit bar 6, the third drive component 10 and the fourth drive component 11 can be fixed on the battery transfer device, the third drive component 10 can drive the multiple first guide bars 7 connected to it to move equidistantly along the second direction, and the fourth drive component 11 can drive the multiple second guide bars 8 connected to it to move equidistantly away from the second direction, so as to realize that the channel 9 formed between the first guide bar 7 and the second guide bar 8 is equidistantly reduced to center the batteries therein, to realize the alignment of the batteries spaced apart along the second direction, and to make the distance between any two adjacent batteries consistent. After the centering is completed, the first guide bar 7 and the second guide bar 8 will be reset under the drive of the third drive component 10 and the fourth drive component 11, so as to facilitate the subsequent clamping and transfer work by the robot.

[0062] Exemplarily, the third drive assembly 10 may include: a second drive motor 101, the output end of the second drive motor 101 is connected to a first screw rod 102, and the first screw rod 102 is threadedly connected to a plurality of first guide bars 7; the fourth drive assembly 11 may include: a third drive motor 111, the output end of the third drive motor 111 is connected to a second screw rod 112, and the first screw rod 102 is threadedly connected to a plurality of second guide bars 8. The second drive motor 101 drives the first screw rod 102 to rotate, thereby driving the plurality of first guide bars 7 to move synchronously, and similarly, the third drive motor 111 can drive the plurality of second guide bars 8 to move synchronously. As for the thread direction of the first screw rod 102 and the second screw rod 112, the rotation direction of the second drive motor 101 and the third drive motor 111, or the second drive motor 101 and the third drive motor 111 are installed on the same side or spaced apart along the second direction, there is no specific restriction, and it is only necessary to ensure that the movement directions of the first guide bar 7 and the second guide bar 8 are opposite.

[0063] Of course, the third driving assembly 10 may also be an electric push rod or a hydraulic push rod, the telescopic end of which is connected to the plurality of first guide bars 7, so as to achieve equidistant movement of the plurality of first guide bars 7. Similarly, the fourth driving assembly 11 may also be an electric push rod or a hydraulic push rod, the telescopic end of which is connected to the plurality of second guide bars 8, so as to achieve equidistant movement of the plurality of second guide bars 8.
