[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0029] See also Figure 1-7 In an embodiment of the utility model, a battery terminal picking mechanism includes a transverse linear slide 1, one end of the transverse linear slide 1 fixed to the machining center extends to the inside of the machining center body and is located on one side of the three-jaw chuck; a lifting assembly 6; the lifting assembly 6 for driving the slide 7 up and down is installed in cooperation with the transverse linear slide 1, and can be moved into the machining center under the drive of the transverse linear slide 1; a rotating cylinder 8, the rotating cylinder 8 for rotating the terminal clamping assembly 9 is arranged on the outside of the lifting assembly 6, and can flip the terminal clamping assembly 9 holding the battery terminal by 90 degrees to facilitate the loading of the battery terminal.

[0030] To be more specific, two brackets 2 are fixed to the outer side of the end of the horizontal linear slide 1 away from the machining center; brackets 3 are fixed to the inner sides of the two brackets 2, and a workbench 4 is connected together above the two brackets 3; a battery terminal tray 5 is provided on the workbench 4.

[0031] By adopting the above technical scheme, when in use, first place the battery terminal tray 5 filled with battery terminals under the terminal clamping assembly 9, the lifting assembly 6 drives the slide 7 equipped with the rotating cylinder 8 and the terminal clamping assembly 9 to move downward, and then the terminal clamping assembly 9 clamps the battery terminals, and then the lifting assembly 6 lifts the terminal clamping assembly 9, the horizontal linear slide 1 drives the lifting assembly 6 to move toward the machining center, and then the rotating cylinder 8 drives the terminal clamping assembly 9 to rotate 90 degrees, so that the battery terminals are aligned with the pneumatic chuck of the machining center, and then the terminal clamping assembly 9 releases the battery terminals, and the pneumatic chuck on the machining center clamps the battery terminals; thereby completing the automatic loading of the battery terminals; this process does not require human participation, which greatly improves the processing efficiency of the battery terminals.

[0032] In this embodiment, the lifting assembly 6 comprises a fixed housing 61 fixedly connected to the horizontal linear slide 1, a lifting cylinder 63 is fixed to the top of the fixed housing 61, and a first slide rail 62 is fixed to the side wall of the fixed housing 61;

[0033] The first slide rail 62 is slidably connected with a slide seat 64, and the two slide seats 64 are fixed by a connecting block, and the connecting block is also fixedly connected to the cylinder rod of the lifting cylinder 63; the two slide seats 64 extend to the outside of the fixed shell 61, and are fixed with a slide table 7 for moving the rotating cylinder 8 up and down by bolts.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, when the cylinder rod of the lifting cylinder 63 is extended, the slide seat 64 is pushed to move downward along the first slide rail 62, so that the slide table 7 drives the rotating cylinder 8 to move, which has a simple structure and is easy to drive.

[0035] In this embodiment, the rotary cylinder 8 is fixed on the inner side of the slide 7 , and a terminal clamping assembly 9 is mounted on the rotary shaft of the rotary cylinder 8 .

[0036] Specifically, the terminal clamping assembly 9 includes a rotating plate 91 on which two second slide rails 92 are fixed; a sliding frame 93 is slidably connected to the second slide rails 92 and the rotating plate 91; and a pneumatic gripper 94 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sliding frame 93.

[0037] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the pneumatic gripper 94 can clamp the battery terminal after opening. Since the sliding frame 93 is slidably connected to the second sliding rail 92 and the rotating plate 91, when clamping the battery terminal, the pneumatic gripper 94 will be forced to slide upward when in contact with the battery terminal tray 5, thereby providing the pneumatic gripper 94 with an up and down displacement compensation space to avoid the pneumatic gripper 94 from being damaged due to hard contact with the battery terminal tray 5.

[0038] In this embodiment, the battery terminal tray 5 is provided with a plurality of grooves for facilitating the placement of the battery terminals; a side mounting plate 10 is also fixed to one side of the lower end of the sliding frame 93; a proximity sensor 11 is embedded on the side mounting plate 10; the distance between every two grooves on the battery terminal tray 5 is equal to the distance between the pneumatic gripper 94 and the proximity sensor 11.

[0039] By adopting the above technical solution, the proximity sensor 11 can sense the battery terminal. When the pneumatic gripper 94 clamps a battery terminal, the proximity sensor 11 can sense the slot cavity adjacent to the clamped battery terminal and detect the adjacent slot cavity to see whether there is a battery terminal. If so, the next battery terminal to be clamped will be the battery terminal on the slot cavity; if not, the slot cavity will be skipped when clamping the next battery terminal, thereby ensuring that there will be no no-load or reactive operation when the battery terminal is loaded, thereby ensuring the processing efficiency of the battery terminal.

[0040] As a further explanation of this embodiment; after a row of battery terminals on the battery terminal tray 5 is clamped, it is necessary to manually push the battery terminal tray 5 to move one grid so that the next row of fully loaded electronic terminals is placed under the pneumatic clamp 94; in order to improve the degree of automation of the equipment, a cylinder push method can be used to solve the problem of manual push.

[0041] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when in use, when the cylinder rod of the lifting cylinder 63 is extended, the slide seat 64 is pushed to move downward along the first slide rail 62, so that the slide table 7 drives the rotating cylinder 8 to move, and the pneumatic clamp 94 is opened to clamp the battery terminal. Since the sliding frame 93 is slidably connected with the second slide rail 92 and the rotating plate 91, when clamping the battery terminal, the pneumatic clamp 94 will be forced to slide up when it contacts the battery terminal tray 5, providing a vertical displacement compensation space for the pneumatic clamp 94, avoiding the pneumatic clamp 94 from being damaged due to hard contact with the battery terminal tray 5;

[0042] Then the lifting assembly 6 lifts the terminal clamping assembly 9, and the horizontal linear slide 1 drives the lifting assembly 6 to move to the machining center. Then the rotating cylinder 8 drives the terminal clamping assembly 9 to rotate 90 degrees, so that the battery terminal is aligned with the pneumatic chuck of the machining center. Then the terminal clamping assembly 9 releases the battery terminal, and the pneumatic chuck on the machining center clamps the battery terminal; thereby completing the automatic loading of the battery terminal; this process does not require human intervention, which greatly improves the processing efficiency of the battery terminal.

[0043] When the pneumatic gripper 94 clamps a battery terminal, the proximity sensor 11 can sense the adjacent slot cavity of the clamped battery terminal and detect the adjacent slot cavity to see whether there is a battery terminal. If so, the next battery terminal to be clamped will be the battery terminal on the slot cavity; if not, the slot cavity will be skipped when the next battery terminal is clamped, thereby ensuring that there will be no no-load or reactive operation when the battery terminal is loaded, thereby ensuring the processing efficiency of the battery terminal.
