DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be understood that the specific implementation methods described here are only used to explain the utility model and do not limit the protection scope of the utility model.

When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. Further, when an element is considered to be "fixedly connected to" another element, the two may be fixed in a detachable connection manner or in a non-detachable connection manner, such as socketing, snap-on, one-piece fixation, welding, etc., which can be achieved in the prior art and will not be repeated here. When an element is perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to another element, it means that the ideal state of the two is vertical, but due to the influence of manufacturing and assembly, there may be a certain vertical error. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation method.

[0023] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the technical field of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0024] The “first” and “second” involved in the present invention do not represent specific quantities and orders, but are merely used to distinguish names.

[0025] Combined with Figure 1-3 The present embodiment is a material loading and unloading and multi-station handling device for preventing stacking, comprising a loading mechanism 1, a correction mechanism 2, a conveying mechanism 3 and a manipulator 4. The loading mechanism 1 comprises a loading turntable 11, which is arranged horizontally; a first motor 12 is used to control the loading turntable 11 to rotate around a first axis. The motor 12 is installed at the bottom of the loading turntable 11, and its output shaft is vertically arranged upward and connected to the center of the loading turntable 11. The first axis coincides with the output shaft axis of the motor 12; a plurality of battery cell stacking seats 5 are arranged on the loading turntable 11 with the first axis as the center circumference. The battery cell stacking seats 5 are detachably connected to the loading turntable 11 through a button-type self-locking device 6. The button-type self-locking device 6 can select the existing Japanese Imao IMAO self-locking button-type locking device.

[0026] When the present anti-stacking material loading and unloading and multi-station handling device is in use, since it is equipped with a plurality of battery cell stacking seats 5 at the same time, when one of the battery cell stacking seats 5 is taking material, the other battery cell stacking seats 5 are not in use. At this time, the operator can remove the used battery cell stacking seat 5 and quickly install the battery cell stacking seat 5 that has been loaded with battery cells, thereby ensuring continuous loading of battery cells.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, both upper and lower ends of the battery cell stacking seat 5 are open, and there are pits inside for accommodating a number of battery cells. The upper end of the battery cell stacking seat 5 is a material removal port, and the manipulator 4 extends through the upper end opening to pick up the battery cells. The loading turntable 11 is provided with a through hole connected to the battery cell stacking seat 5, and a push plate 51 is movably arranged up and down in the battery cell stacking seat 5. The size of the push plate 51 is larger than the size of the lower end opening of the battery cell stacking seat 5. The loading mechanism 1 also includes a first cylinder 13 for pushing the push plate 51 up and down. The first cylinder 13 is arranged at the loading position of the loading turntable 11, and the first cylinder 13 is arranged below the loading turntable 11. When taking the battery cell, the first cylinder 13 pushes the battery cell stacking seat 5 upward as a whole through the push plate 51, and the pushing height increases by 1 battery cell thickness each time, thereby ensuring that the manipulator 4 takes the battery cell at the same height each time, and the battery cell will not be crushed due to height changes.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the loading position of the loading turntable 11 is also provided with a plurality of air pipes 14, which are vertically arranged and arranged around the battery cell stacking seat 5 at the loading position, and the plurality of air pipes 14 blow air toward the battery cell stacking seat 5 at the loading position, thereby blowing the bonded battery cells apart, thereby achieving the purpose of non-stickiness and grabbing only one cell at a time, and the plurality of air pipes 14 are controlled to rise and fall by the second cylinder 15, and the loading turntable 11 is provided with through holes that cooperate with the plurality of air pipes 14 to avoid interference between the loading turntable 11 and the air pipes 14 when rotating.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the manipulator 4 includes a manipulator arm 41 and a suction cup plate 42. A plurality of suction cups 43 are arranged around the suction cup plate 42. The suction cups 43 are arranged on the lower end surface of the suction cup plate 42. A top block 44 is arranged in the middle of the suction cup plate 42. No suction cup 43 is arranged in the middle of the suction cup plate 42. A pneumatic component 45 for controlling the up and down movement of the top block 44 is arranged on the suction cup plate 42. When the suction cup 43 grabs the battery cell, the pneumatic component 45 controls the top block 44 to press down and fold the battery cell into an arc, thereby cooperating with the blowing action to better achieve the purpose of non-sticking, and the weight rate of the battery cell in the picking and placing process will be zero.

[0030] As a preferred solution of the present invention, in order to prevent the top block 44 from pressing down and damaging the battery sheet or breaking it, the top block 44 is a rubber plug.

[0031] As a preferred solution of the utility model, the robot arm 41 controls the suction cup plate 42 to move back and forth along the first direction, the loading mechanism 1, the correction mechanism 2 and the conveying mechanism 3 are arranged in a spaced relationship along the first direction, and the distance between two adjacent mechanisms is consistent. Two suction cup plates 42 are provided on the robot arm 41, and the distance between the two suction cup plates 42 is consistent with the distance between the two adjacent mechanisms. When the suction cup plate 42 takes out the battery cell on the loading mechanism 1, the other suction cup plate 42 just takes out the battery cell on the correction mechanism 2, which simplifies the structure and avoids interference between the mechanisms.

[0032] As a preferred solution of the utility model, it also includes a base 7, and the feeding mechanism 1, the correction mechanism 2, the conveying mechanism 3 and the manipulator 4 are all installed on the base 7. After one debugging, the various mechanisms can maintain stable operation and do not need to be debugged again even if they are moved subsequently.

[0033] As a preferred solution of the utility model, the correction mechanism 2 includes an X-axis slide rail, a Y-axis slide rail and a correction platform arranged in sequence from bottom to top, the Y-axis slide rail is installed on the X-axis slide rail, and the correction platform is installed on the Y-axis slide rail. Through the movement of the actuator in the X and Y directions, the position of the battery cell is adjusted, that is, the correction process can be achieved, and accurate positioning can be achieved. Whether the position of the battery cell is correct can be judged by the mode of the camera.

[0034] The above schematically describes the present invention and its implementation methods, which are not restrictive. The drawings show only one implementation method of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if ordinary technicians in this field are inspired by it and design structural methods and embodiments similar to the technical solution without creativity without departing from the purpose of the present invention, they should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
