DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] 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.

[0020] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. Figures 1 to 5 , and describes the application in detail with reference to embodiments.

[0021] The embodiment discloses a clamp for assembling lithium batteries, including a supporting plate 1, wherein a through hole 2 is provided inside the supporting plate 1, a steering mechanism 6 is provided inside the through hole 2, clamping and rotating mechanisms 7 are provided at both ends above the supporting plate 1, the steering mechanism 6 includes a gear plate 61, a first telescopic rod 62, a gear column 64 and a first motor 65, the clamping and rotating mechanism 7 includes a clamping plate 71, a second telescopic rod 72, a first gear 75, a second gear 76 and a second motor 77, and a lithium battery 9 is provided above the gear plate 61.

[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of supporting legs 4 are arranged below the supporting plate 1, a supporting plate 5 is arranged inside the through hole 2, and a control box 8 is arranged on one side above the supporting plate 1, which helps to ensure the stability of the supporting plate 1 and its connecting parts, keep the surface of the supporting plate 1 flat to facilitate the assembly of the lithium battery 9, and at the same time keep the gear plate 61 and the gear column 64 clean, reduce the cleaning workload, and facilitate the control of the operation of related parts in the fixture.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a lithium battery 9 is arranged above the support plate 5, which helps to place the lithium battery 9 on the support plate 5 and clamp and fix it with a clamp fixing plate 71 for assembly when the lithium battery 9 is small in size.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a bracket 3 is provided on the outer side of the steering mechanism 6 , and the upper end of the bracket 3 is connected to the bearing plate 1 , which facilitates the installation of the steering mechanism 6 and can provide stable support for related components in the steering mechanism 6 .

[0025] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a connecting shaft 63 is provided inside the gear plate 61, and the lower end of the connecting shaft 63 is connected to the telescopic end of the first telescopic rod 62. The connecting shaft 63 is rotatably connected to the gear plate 61, and the gear plate 61 is meshed with a gear column 64. The lower end of the gear column 64 is connected to a first motor 65, and a dust baffle 66 is provided on the outer side of the gear column 64. The upper end of the dust baffle 66 is connected to the supporting plate 1, so that when the assembled lithium battery 9 is large in size, the direction of the lithium battery 9 can be adjusted by rotating the gear plate 61, which facilitates the assembly of the lithium battery 9 while saving the labor of the staff, and can further keep the gear column 64 tidy.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, elastic pads 711 and second telescopic rods 72 are respectively provided on both sides of the clamping plate 71, and the telescopic end of the second telescopic rod 72 is connected to the clamping plate 71. A support column 73 is provided on the outer side of the second telescopic rod 72, and a limiting hole 74 is provided inside the support column 73. The second telescopic rod 72 runs through the limiting hole 74. The end of the second telescopic rod 72 away from the clamping plate 71 is connected to a first gear 75, and one side of the first gear 75 is meshed with a second gear 76, and one side of the second gear 76 is connected to a second motor 77. The first gear 7 5 and the outer side of the second gear 76 are jointly provided with a protective cover 78, and the side of the second gear 76 away from the second motor 77 is connected to the protective cover 78, which can clamp and fix the lithium battery 9 to prevent the lithium battery 9 from being damaged. After the lithium battery 9 is clamped, the second motor 77 can drive the second telescopic rod 72, the clamping plate 71 and the lithium battery 9 to rotate, so as to adjust the contact surface between the lithium battery 9 and the gear plate 61 or the support plate 5, so as to perform assembly and connection operations on different surfaces, protect the first gear 75 and the second gear 76, extend the service life of the above two gears, and ensure the safe operation of the device.

[0027] During use of the lithium battery assembly clamp disclosed in this embodiment, when the size of the assembled lithium battery 9 is small, the lithium battery 9 only needs to be placed on the top of the support plate 5, and the control box 8 is used to simultaneously start the two second telescopic rods to extend and push the clamp 71 and the elastic pad 711 to clamp and fix the lithium battery 9, and then the corresponding assembly operation can be performed. When the direction of the lithium battery 9 needs to be adjusted, the control box 8 is used to simultaneously control the two second telescopic rods 72 to contract and release the clamping state of the lithium battery 9, and then the direction of the lithium battery 9 is manually adjusted as needed, and the two second telescopic rods 72 are controlled to extend again to clamp the lithium battery 9, and then the subsequent assembly operation is performed, and then the above operation is repeated until the lithium battery 9 is assembled.

[0028] When the volume of the lithium battery 9 is large, the steering mechanism 6 needs to be used to assist in adjusting the direction of the lithium battery 9 during the assembly process. Before assembly, the support plate 5 is removed from the through hole 2, and the control box 8 is used to control the first telescopic rod 62 to extend to push the gear plate 61 upward until the upper plane of the gear plate 61 is coplanar with the upper plane of the supporting plate 1, and then the first telescopic rod 62 is closed to fix the position of the gear plate 61, and then the lithium battery 9 to be assembled is placed above the gear plate 61, and the control box 8 is used to control the extension of the two second telescopic rods 72 at the same time to push the two clamping plates 71 to move in the direction of the lithium battery 9 at the same time. After the lithium battery 9 is clamped and fixed, the two second telescopic rods 72 are closed to assemble the lithium battery 9. When the direction of the lithium battery 9 needs to be adjusted horizontally, it is only necessary to control the contraction of the two second telescopic rods 72 to separate the elastic pad 711 and the lithium battery 9, and the control box 8 is used to start the first motor 65, so that the first motor 65 drives the gear plate 61 and the lithium battery 9 above it to slowly move through the gear column 64. The first and second motors 77 are controlled to rotate slowly, and when the lithium battery 9 is adjusted to the appropriate direction, the first motor 65 is turned off, and at the same time, the two second telescopic rods 72 are controlled to extend, and the clamping plate 71 and the elastic pad 711 are pushed to clamp the lithium battery 9 and fix it, and subsequent assembly operations are performed. When the vertical direction of the lithium battery 9 needs to be adjusted, the control box 8 is used to control the first telescopic rod 62 to contract, so that the gear plate 61 is separated from the lithium battery 9 by a certain distance, and then the first telescopic rod 62 is closed. Then, the control box 8 is used to control the two second motors 77 to rotate at the same time, so that the second motor 77 forms a transmission through the second gear 76 and the first gear 75, the second telescopic rod 72, the clamping plate 71 and the lithium battery 9. After the lithium battery 9 is rotated to the required angle, the two second motors 77 are turned off at the same time, and the control box 8 is used to control the first telescopic rod 62 to extend again to push the gear plate 61 to move upward. When the gear plate 61 is fully in contact with the lithium battery 9, the first telescopic rod 62 is closed, and the support of the gear plate 61 to the lithium battery 9 can be restored to continue the assembly operation.

[0029] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
