[0031] The embodiment of the present application provides an insert device, which solves the technical problem of bloated structure of subsequent equipment in the process and achieves the technical effect of simplifying the structure of subsequent equipment in the process.

[0032] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0033] The present application provides a cell inserting device for inserting and transferring a cell 300; Figure 1 As shown, the inserting device includes an inserting mechanism 100 and a driving mechanism 200 . The inserting mechanism 100 is used to grab the battery cell 300 and serve as a carrier for transferring the battery cell 300 ; the driving mechanism 200 is used to drive the inserting mechanism 100 to move or rotate.

[0034] Insertion mechanism 100, such as Figure 1 As shown, the inserting mechanism 100 is used to grab the battery cell 300 and serve as a carrier for transferring the battery cell 300. The inserting mechanism 100 includes a connecting seat 110 and a suction cup assembly 120. The connecting seat 110 is used to connect the suction cup assembly 120 and serve as an installation base for the suction cup assembly 120; the suction cup assembly 120 is used to adsorb and cooperate with the battery cell 300.

[0035] Specifically, Figure 2-5As shown, the suction cup assembly 120 is connected to the connecting seat 110, and the suction cup assembly 120 includes a suction cup seat 121, a spring 123, a suction cup 122 and an air supply pipe 124. The suction cup seat 121 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 110. In one embodiment, the suction cup seat 121 is arranged in a thin plate shape, and the suction cup seat 121 has a first surface 1211 and a second surface 1212 located on both sides. In other words, the first surface 1211 and the second surface 1212 face oppositely; there are at least two suction cups 122, and the suction cups 122 are respectively installed on the first surface 1211 and the second surface 1212 of the suction cup seat 121. When the battery cell 300 is adsorbed by the suction cup 122, the battery cell 300 is located on the first surface 1211 and the second surface 1212 of the suction cup seat 121, forming an adsorption station 130 corresponding to the battery cell 300.

[0036] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, a groove 1213 is provided on the suction cup seat 121, that is, the first surface 1211 and the second surface 1212 are both provided with a groove 1213, and the groove 1213 is used to accommodate the suction cup 122, and the suction cup 122 is arranged inside the groove 1213, so that the overall thickness of the suction cup assembly 120 is reduced. It can be understood that the suction cup 122 has an adsorption surface, and the adsorption surface is used to contact with the battery cell 300 and adsorb and fix the battery cell 300, wherein the adsorption surface of the suction cup 122 is relative to the first surface 1211 or the second surface 1212. The two surfaces 1212 are raised. In other words, the adsorption surface of the suction cup 122 arranged on the first surface 1211 faces the outside of the first surface 1211, and the adsorption surface of the suction cup 122 arranged on the second surface 1212 faces the outside of the second surface 1212. Furthermore, in order to make the suction cup seat 121 thinner, the groove body 1213 on the first surface 1211 and the second surface 1212 can be connected, that is, the space on the first surface 1211 and the second surface 1212 of the suction cup seat 121 is connected through the groove body 1213.

[0037] In one embodiment, Figure 3 , 45, the suction cup 122 is accommodated in the groove body 1213, and the suction cup 122 is fixedly connected to the suction cup seat 121; in another embodiment, the suction cup 122 is accommodated in the groove body 1213, and the suction cup 122 is connected to the suction cup seat 121 through the spring 123, that is, the spring 123 is connected between the suction cup 122 and the suction cup seat 121, specifically, the spring 123 is also accommodated in the groove body 1213, the spring 123 is in a stretched state, and one end of the spring 123 is connected to the suction cup The edge of the suction cup 122 is connected to the other end, and it is worth mentioning that there are multiple springs 123, and the multiple springs 123 are evenly arranged on the edge of the suction cup 122, so that the suction cup 122 is fixed in the groove body 1213, and because the spring 123 is in a stretched state, when the suction cup 122 contacts the battery cell 300, the suction cup 122 has a certain adaptive displacement ability, which prevents the rigid resistance between the suction cup 122 and the battery cell 300 from causing the battery cell 300 to break.

[0038] For example, Figure 2 , 3 As shown, a plurality of suction cups 122 are provided, namely, a plurality of suction cups 122 are provided on both the first surface 1211 and the second surface 1212, wherein the suction cups 122 are arranged evenly, so that the battery cell 300 is subjected to a more stable and even adsorption effect; in one embodiment, the number of the suction cups 122 is three, namely, the first surface 1211 is provided with three suction cups 122, and the second surface 1212 is also provided with three suction cups 122, and the suction cups 122 arranged on the first surface 1211 and / or the second surface 1212 are arranged in a triangular shape, and the suction cup 122 with the adsorption surface facing the outside of the first surface 1211 is defined as the first suction cup 1221, and the suction cup 122 with the adsorption surface facing the outside of the second surface 1212 is defined as the second suction cup 1222, and the first suction cup 1221 and the second suction cup 1222 are arranged at intervals; in other words, the first suction cup 1221 is arranged in an upright triangle, and the second suction cup 1222 is arranged in an inverted triangle.

[0039] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the air supply pipe 124 is used to connect the suction cup 122 and the external negative pressure source. The air supply pipe 124 is embedded in the suction cup seat 121 so that the air supply pipe 124 is embedded lower than the first surface 1211 or the second surface 1212 to prevent the air supply pipe 124 from being too high and interfering with the battery cell 300.

[0040] Further, such as Figure 6As shown, in order to improve the efficiency of the insertion of the battery cell 300 by the insertion assembly, multiple groups of suction cup assemblies 120 are arranged on the connection seat 110. Since each group of suction cup assemblies 120 has adsorption stations 130 on both sides, when there are multiple groups of suction cup assemblies 120, the number of battery cells 300 adsorbed is greatly increased, thereby improving the efficiency of the insertion of the battery cell 300. In one embodiment, multiple groups of suction cup assemblies 120 are arranged in parallel on the connection seat 110, that is, the suction cup seats 121 of each group of suction cup assemblies 120 are fixedly connected to the connection seat 110; further, the suction cup seats 121 are arranged in the shape of a thin plate, and the suction cup seats 121 of multiple groups of suction cup assemblies 120 are arranged parallel to each other, so as to better match the battery cells 300 placed in parallel in the graphite boat, aluminum boat or flower basket.

[0041] The driving mechanism 200, such as Figure 1 As shown, the driving mechanism 200 is used to drive the inserting mechanism 100 to move or rotate. The driving mechanism 200 is connected to and acts on the inserting mechanism 100. Specifically, the driving mechanism 200 is configured as a manipulator, and the manipulator is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 110, so that the connecting seat 110 is driven by the manipulator, that is, the inserting mechanism 100 as a whole is driven by the manipulator.

[0042] Working principle / steps:

[0043] The driving mechanism 200 drives the inserting mechanism 100 to move and dock with the graphite boat, and the suction cup assembly 120 cooperates with the battery cells 300 in the graphite boat, so that each suction cup seat 121 extends between the battery cells 300, and the battery cells 300 are adsorbed on the suction cup 122 by negative pressure, so that the battery cells 300 are adsorbed and fixed on the adsorption station 130 on the first surface 1211 and the second surface 1212 of the suction cup seat 121, and then the inserting mechanism 100 is transferred by the driving mechanism 200, so that the battery cells 300 carried by the inserting mechanism 100 are transferred to another container.

[0044] Technical effect:

[0045] 1. The inserting device proposed in the present application adopts a double-sided suction cup 122 structure, which improves the absorption efficiency of the battery cell 300 on the one hand, and simplifies the equipment structure on the other hand. In the subsequent process, there is no need to match multiple sets of robot equipment, which solves the technical problem of bloated structure of subsequent equipment in the process and achieves the technical effect of simplifying the structure of subsequent equipment in the process.

[0046] 2. A groove 1213 is provided on the suction cup seat 121 of the suction cup assembly 120 of the present application, and the suction cups 122 on both sides can be partially embedded in the suction cup seat 121, which greatly reduces the thickness of the suction cup assembly 120, reduces the size of the insert structure, and can also match the graphite boat and flower basket with denser sheet spacing;

[0047] 3. The adsorption surface of the suction cup 122 is higher than the first surface 1211 or the second surface 1212 of the suction cup seat 121, so as to improve the adsorption effect of the suction cup 122 on the battery cell 300, thereby improving the gripping accuracy and gripping efficiency of the suction cup assembly 120 on the battery cell 300;

[0048] 4. The suction cup 122 is connected to the suction cup seat 121 via a spring 123. Due to the soft connection of the spring 123, the battery cell 300 can adaptively move relative to the suction cup 122, so that the suction cup 122 has a certain buffering effect when adsorbing the battery cell 300, preventing the battery cell 300 from being adsorbed and broken.
