[0027] The battery sheet tray grasping device 1 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the battery sheet tray grasping device 1 according to the embodiment of the utility model includes a connecting seat 10, a tray 20, an elevation frame 30 and two grasping plates 40.

[0029] The material tray 20 is suitable for placing the battery cell 2. The elevation bracket 30 is rotatably arranged on the connecting seat 10 and the rotation axis is oriented in the horizontal direction (the up-down, left-right and front-back directions are shown by arrows in the figure and are only for the convenience of description, not for the actual setting direction. The horizontal direction is perpendicular to the up-down direction, Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an embodiment in which the rotation axis of the elevation frame 30 is oriented in the left-right direction is shown). A positioning protrusion 50 is provided on one of the grab plate 40 and the material tray 20, and a positioning groove 60 is provided on the other. The grab plate 40 is movably provided on the elevation frame 30 between a grab position and a release position. The grab plate 40 abuts against the material tray 20 at the grab position and the positioning protrusion 50 is engaged in the positioning groove 60 to limit the relative movement of the material tray 20 and the grab plate 40. The grab plate 40 avoids the material tray 20 at the release position.

[0030] Specifically, the connection base 10 can be installed on a transfer device, and the transfer device can drive the battery sheet tray grasping device 1 to move as a whole. For example, the transfer device can be a mechanical arm. In some preferred embodiments, the connection base 10 is rotatably arranged on the transfer device.

[0031] In the cleaning process, the tray 20 filled with battery cells 2 is placed in the water cart, the transfer device moves the connecting seat 10 and drives the grab plate 40 to the tray 20, the grab plate 40 moves to the grabbing position, the grab plate 40 fits with the tray 20 and the positioning protrusion 50 cooperates in the positioning groove 60, so that the tray 20 can move with the grab plate 40, the elevation frame 30 rotates a predetermined angle and drives the grab plate 40 to rotate, and with the cooperation of the positioning protrusion 50 and the positioning groove 60, the tray 20 rotates a predetermined angle with the grab plate 40, so that the tray 20 forms a certain elevation angle to prevent the battery cells 2 on the tray 20 from sliding off the tray 20 when the transfer device moves the battery cell tray grabbing device 1, and then the transfer device transfers the battery cell tray grabbing device 1 to the loading platform, and after loading, the empty tray 20 is transferred back to the water cart by the transfer device, and finally the grab plate 40 moves to the release position to release the tray 20.

[0032] It should be understood that the rotation of the elevation frame 30 is different from the large-angle flipping. It only needs to form a certain elevation angle to prevent the battery cells from sliding out of the tray 20 under the action of gravity.

[0033] According to the battery cell tray grabbing device 1 of the embodiment of the utility model, by providing a grabbing plate 40, the grabbing plate 40 can grab the tray 20 for transfer. Compared with the method of carrying by operators in the related art, it can not only save manpower and improve the degree of automation, but also improve the transfer efficiency, saving time and effort.

[0034] Furthermore, by providing an elevation frame 30, the rotation of the elevation frame 30 can drive the grab plate 40 to rotate, thereby driving the material tray 20 to rotate, so that the grabbed material tray 20 can be at a certain elevation angle with the horizontal direction, thereby preventing the smooth battery cells in the material tray 20 from slipping out of the material tray 20, and further improving the reliability of the transfer.

[0035] In addition, by providing the positioning protrusion 50 and the positioning groove 60, the positioning protrusion 50 and the positioning groove 60 can be used to limit the relative movement of the grab plate 40 and the material tray 20. Compared with the method of only using the grab plate to clamp the material tray, on the one hand, it can prevent the heavy material tray 20 from detaching from the grab plate 40, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the grabbing. On the other hand, it can facilitate the material tray 20 to rotate together with the grab plate 40 and the elevation frame 30, so that the material tray 20 can be at a certain elevation angle by rotating the elevation frame 30.

[0036] Therefore, the battery sheet tray grabbing device 1 according to the embodiment of the utility model has the advantages of saving manpower, high degree of automation, high transfer efficiency, and strong reliability.

[0037] The battery sheet tray grasping device 1 according to a specific embodiment of the utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the battery sheet tray grasping device 1 according to the embodiment of the utility model includes a connecting seat 10, a tray 20, an elevation frame 30 and two grasping plates 40.

[0039] Specifically, Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the positioning protrusion 50 is a truncated cone with a gradually decreasing diameter in the protruding direction, the circumferential surface of the positioning protrusion 50 has a convex rib 51 extending along the generatrix direction, the positioning groove 60 is adapted to the shape of the positioning protrusion 50, and the circumferential surface of the positioning groove 60 has a groove 61, and the convex rib 51 is suitable for fitting in the groove 61. Specifically, there are multiple convex ribs 51 and they are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the positioning protrusion 50, and there are multiple grooves 61 and they are suitable for fitting with the convex ribs 51 in a one-to-one correspondence. In this way, it is not only convenient for the positioning protrusion 50 to fit with the positioning groove 60, and for the positioning protrusion 50 to fit in the positioning groove 60, but also the relative movement of the grab plate 40 and the material tray 20 can be further restricted by the cooperation of the convex rib 51 and the groove 61, so that the grab plate 40 can drive the material tray 20 to move together. In addition, under the action of the conical surface, the grab plate 40 can facilitate the close fit of the surfaces of the positioning protrusion 50 and the positioning groove 60 at the grabbing position, thereby improving the matching stability and reliability.

[0040] More specifically, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, there are multiple positioning protrusions 50 and positioning grooves 60, and the multiple positioning protrusions 50 are suitable for respectively fitting in the multiple positioning grooves 60. In this way, the relative movement of the grab plate 40 and the material tray 20 can be further limited.

[0041] Alternatively, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the grab plate 40 abuts against the inner side wall of the tray 20 when in the grab position. Specifically, the two grab plates 40 abut against the inner surfaces of the two side plates 23 of the tray 20 when in the grab position. This can reduce the space occupied by the battery sheet tray grabbing device 1 and improve the space utilization.

[0042] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The battery sheet tray grasping device 1 according to some examples of the utility model is shown. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the battery sheet tray grasping device 1 further includes a rotating frame 70, which is rotatably disposed on the connecting seat 10 and the rotation axis is oriented in the vertical direction, and the elevation frame 30 is rotatably disposed on the rotating frame 70 so as to be disposed on the connecting seat 10 through the rotating frame 70. In this way, the elevation frame 30 can be driven to rotate by the rotating frame 70 to prevent the battery sheet from being horizontally offset on the tray 20 and causing the battery sheet to slip. For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the battery cell has a tendency to deviate to the left on the tray 20, the rotating frame 70 can be used to drive the elevation frame 30 to swing to the left, thereby preventing the battery cell from sliding off.

[0043] Advantageously, if Figure 1As shown, the battery sheet tray grasping device 1 also includes a position detection device, which is arranged on the elevation frame 30 and is suitable for detecting whether the tray 20 is grasped in place and whether it is tilted. In this way, the position detection device can be used to detect whether the tray 20 is grasped in place and whether it is tilted so as to facilitate timely adjustment, further improving the reliability of grasping.

[0044] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the in-place detection device includes at least two in-place distance measuring devices 81 and determines whether the tray 20 is tilted according to the difference in detection values ​​of the two in-place distance measuring devices 81. Specifically, it can be determined whether the tray 20 is grasped in place by whether the detection value of the in-place distance measuring device 81 meets a predetermined range. In this way, it is possible to determine whether the tray 20 is grasped in place and whether it is tilted by simply measuring the distance, which is convenient for the in-place detection of the tray 20.

[0045] More advantageously, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the battery sheet tray grasping device 1 further includes a battery sheet detection device 82, which is arranged on the elevation frame 30 and is suitable for detecting whether there are battery sheets on the tray 20. Specifically, the battery sheet detection device 82 is also a distance measuring device. In this way, it can be determined whether there are battery sheets on the tray 20 to avoid repeated grasping of empty trays.

[0046] Alternatively, if Figure 1 As shown, the inner bottom surface of the tray 20 extends backward and downward in an inclined manner. Specifically, the upper surface of the bottom plate of the tray 20 extends backward and downward in an inclined manner. This can further prevent the battery cells from slipping out of the tray 20.

[0047] Specifically, the material tray 20 includes a bottom plate 21, a rear stopper 22 and two side plates 23, and the positioning groove 60 is provided on the side plates 23. In this way, it is convenient to form a material tray 20 with an open front surface, and the rear stopper 22 and the side plates 23 are used to stop the battery sheet.

[0048] Furthermore, the maximum rotation angle of the elevation frame 30 is less than or equal to 10 degrees. In this way, the rotation angle of the elevation frame 30 can be limited, so as to prevent the battery sheet from sliding off the tray 20 by forming an elevation angle.

[0049] Specifically, the battery sheet tray grasping device 1 further includes a grasping drive device 41, which is disposed on the elevation frame 30 and is in transmission connection with the two grasping plates 40. The grasping drive device 41 may be a cylinder, which can facilitate driving the grasping plates 40 to grasp and release the tray 20.

[0050] The battery sheet tray grasping device 1 also includes an elevation drive device and a rotation drive device, wherein the elevation drive device is transmission-connected to the elevation frame 30 and disposed in the rotating frame 70, and the rotation drive device is transmission-connected to the rotating frame 70 and disposed in the connecting seat 10. This facilitates the driving of the rotating frame 70 and the elevation frame 30.

[0051] Other structures and operations of the battery sheet tray grasping device 1 according to the embodiment of the utility model are known to ordinary technicians in the field and will not be described in detail here.
