[0039] The utility model discloses a workpiece boxing mechanism for solving the technical problem that in the existing battery cell boxing process, battery cells are easily offset due to manual packaging, and the box cover cannot be accurately closed, resulting in low boxing efficiency.

[0040] See also Figure 1-4, a workpiece boxing mechanism provided in an embodiment of the utility model comprises a boxing platform 1 and a boxing execution component 2;

[0041] A box loading platform 1, used for placing at least one packaging bottom box 3;

[0042] The box loading execution component 2 is used to transport the workpiece 4 from the upstream mechanism, place it in the packaging bottom box 3, and then reset it.

[0043] In this embodiment, a workpiece boxing mechanism is provided, which can be used to transport and automatically box a workpiece 4, and effectively prevent the workpiece 4 from falling out of the box or the position of the workpiece 4 from being deviated due to the inertia of the support structure 21 after the workpiece 4 is boxed. Specifically, the workpiece boxing mechanism includes a boxing platform 1 and a boxing execution component 2. After placing at least one packaging bottom box 3 on the boxing platform 1, the boxing execution component 2 is driven by the vertical transfer module 6 to transport the workpiece 4 from the upstream mechanism to the top of the boxing platform 1, and the workpiece 4 is reset by moving the workpiece 4 downward into the packaging bottom box 3, so as to move another workpiece 4 for placement.

[0044] The workpiece 4 may include but is not limited to a battery cell group or a workpiece 4 formed by stacking multiple battery cells. The upstream mechanism may be a mechanism that performs a specific processing action on the workpiece 4.

[0045] Optionally, the box loading platform 1 includes at least two accommodating mechanisms 11;

[0046] The accommodating mechanism 11 includes a bottom plate 112 and a plurality of limiting blocks 111;

[0047] The limiting block 111 is arranged on the bottom plate 112 and is used to limit the position of the packaging bottom box 3;

[0048] The bottom plates 112 of the accommodating mechanisms 11 are connected via a connecting plate 113 .

[0049] In this embodiment, the box loading platform 1 includes at least two accommodating mechanisms 11 and a connecting plate 113, and two accommodating mechanisms 11 are connected by the connecting plate 113. If there are three or four accommodating mechanisms 11, the shape of the connecting plate 113 is adjusted accordingly to connect the bottom plates 112 of all accommodating mechanisms 11. By placing the packaging bottom box 3 in the accommodating mechanism 11 and limiting the position of the packaging bottom box 3 with the limiting block 111, the position of the packaging bottom box 3 is prevented from shaking, which causes the box loading execution component 2 to fail to accurately move the workpiece 4 into the packaging bottom box 3.

[0050] The shape of the bottom plate 112 is adapted to the bottom surface shape of the packaging bottom box 3, for example, it can be a rectangle, a pentagon or other shapes. The limit blocks 111 can be respectively arranged at multiple corner positions of the bottom plate 112 to limit the position of the packaging bottom box 3, and the cross-sectional shape thereof is the same as the corner shapes of the bottom plate 112.

[0051] Furthermore, the limit block 111 and the bottom plate 112 are fixed by fasteners;

[0052] The fastener is also used to change the setting position of the limit block 111 on the bottom plate 112 to match the size of the packaging bottom box 3.

[0053] Fasteners refer to a type of mechanical parts that are used for fastening connections and are extremely widely used, including but not limited to bolts, screws, screws or studs.

[0054] In this embodiment, since the box packing operation is usually performed on batch products, the shape of the packaging base box 3 usually does not change during the box packing process. Therefore, for each limit block 111, it can be fixed to each corner position of the bottom plate 112 by at least one fastener, so as to limit the position of the packaging base box 3 by the limit block 111 to prevent its position change from causing box packing failure.

[0055] At the same time, in order to adapt to packaging boxes 3 of different sizes but the same shape, a plurality of holes at different positions can be opened on the bottom plate 112, and the limit blocks 111 can be fixed at different holes by fasteners to change the setting position of the limit blocks 111 on the bottom plate 112, thereby matching the limitations of packaging boxes 3 of various sizes.

[0056] It should be noted that the stopper 111 is arranged at each corner of the bottom plate 112, and its cross-sectional shape can be L-shaped, and the shape of the stopper 111 can be adjusted according to the different angles of the bottom plate 112. In addition, as for the setting distance between the stopper 111, the distance between at least one pair of the stopper 111 can meet the insertion of the transfer pad 211 of the box loading execution component 2.

[0057] See also Figure 3 Furthermore, a sensor 114 is provided on the connecting plate 113 for determining whether a packaging bottom box 3 is placed on the accommodating mechanism 11 .

[0058] A sensor 114, such as an infrared, weight or photoelectric sensor, may also be provided on the top surface of the connecting plate 113. The sensor 114 is used to determine whether a packaging base box 3 is placed on the accommodating mechanism 11, thereby preventing errors in the boxing process from causing material loss.

[0059] In addition, the number of sensors 114 can be the same as that of the accommodating mechanism 11. For example, when there are two accommodating mechanisms 11, the number of sensors 114 is also two, and the boxing action of the boxing execution component 2 is triggered only when the packaging bottom box 3 exists in the accommodating mechanism 11 close to the boxing execution component 2.

[0060] See also Figure 3In another example of the present utility model, the box loading platform 1 further includes a rotating mechanism 12;

[0061] The rotating mechanism 12 is connected to the bottom surface of the connecting plate 113 and is used to drive the accommodating mechanism 11 to rotate according to a preset period and a preset angle.

[0062] In this embodiment, the box loading platform 1 may further include a rotating mechanism 12, which is connected to the bottom surface of the connecting plate 113, in which a motor may be provided, and the connecting plate 113 is connected via a motor shaft of the motor to drive the accommodating mechanism 11 to rotate according to a preset period and a preset angle to meet different box loading requirements.

[0063] In order to facilitate the subsequent transportation of the workpiece 4, the packaging bottom box 3 also has a packaging top cover 5 that can be snap-connected.

[0064] Taking two accommodating mechanisms 11 as an example, another moving mechanism simultaneously grabs the packaging top cover 5 and the new packaging bottom box 3 from the loading line, and moves them to the top of the box loading platform 1, and then drives the moving mechanism downward through a cylinder or other means, so that the packaging top cover 5 is engaged with the packaging bottom box 3 on the box loading platform 1 that has been loaded with the workpiece 4, and the overall packaging of the workpiece 4 is completed. At this time, another new packaging bottom box 3 has been moved down to another accommodating mechanism 11, and the accommodating mechanism 11 can be driven to rotate 180° through the rotating mechanism 12, so that the new packaging bottom box 3 rotates to the side close to the box loading execution component 2, and at this time, the workpiece 4 that has been completely packaged is adsorbed by the moving mechanism and moved to the unloading line for subsequent processes.

[0065] See also Figure 3 , Optionally, the box loading platform 1 further includes at least one limiting cylinder 13 and a limiting member 14;

[0066] The limiting cylinder 13 is arranged on the bottom surface of the connecting plate 113;

[0067] The limiting member 14 is connected to the piston rod of the limiting cylinder 13 and is used to limit the position of the packaging bottom box 3 .

[0068] In order to further improve the position limiting effect of the packaging bottom box 3, in addition to the limiting block 111, a limiting cylinder 13 can be provided on the box loading platform 1 to drive the limiting member 14 for limiting. Specifically, the limiting cylinder 13 can be provided on the bottom surface of the connecting plate 113, and its piston rod is connected to the limiting member 14 of a specific shape, and is bent and extended to the plane where the packaging bottom box 3 is located through the limiting member 14. The limiting member 14 is driven by the cylinder to further limit the position of the packaging bottom boxes 3 of different sizes, so as to prevent the packaging bottom boxes 3 from falling or deflecting.

[0069] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4, Optionally, the box loading execution component 2 includes a movable bracket 24, a pad cutting cylinder 23, a supporting structure 21 and a baffle 22;

[0070] The backing plate cutting cylinder 23 is fixedly mounted on the movable bracket 24 and is used to drive the supporting structure 21 to perform the forward extension action or the reset action;

[0071] The baffle plate 22 is fixedly mounted on the movable bracket 24, and at least two movable notches are provided below the baffle plate 22 for limiting the position of the workpiece 4 when the supporting structure 21 is reset;

[0072] The supporting structure 21 is connected to the piston rod of the backing plate cutting cylinder 23, and is used to extend forward through the movable gap to support the workpiece 4 from the upstream mechanism, and then reset after being placed in the packaging bottom box 3.

[0073] In this embodiment, the packaging base box 3 is placed in the accommodating mechanism 11, and the pad cutting cylinder 23 in the device execution component drives the supporting component to perform a forward extension action, so as to support and fix the workpiece 4 from the upstream mechanism through the movable notch opened on the baffle 22. After the workpiece 4 is moved to the top of the accommodating mechanism 11 via the vertical transfer module 6, the workpiece 4 is placed into the packaging base box 3 from top to bottom. At this time, the pad cutting cylinder 23 drives the supporting structure 21 to perform a resetting action, so that the supporting structure 21 is pulled out from the bottom of the workpiece 4, and the box execution component 2 is driven by the vertical transfer module 6 to reset to the original position of the upstream mechanism to support the workpiece 4 again.

[0074] In addition, when the supporting structure 21 is reset, due to the influence of gravity and friction, the supporting structure 21 may drive the workpiece 4 to move, which may easily drag the workpiece to deviate, and may cause the subsequent packaging top cover to fail to close accurately. For this reason, a baffle 22 is installed on the movable bracket 24, and the position of the workpiece 4 is limited by the baffle 22. Since the supporting structure 21 performs the forward extension action or reset action from the movable notch below the baffle 22, it will not affect the state of the baffle 22. Therefore, when the supporting structure 21 is reset, the baffle 22 can limit the position of the workpiece 4 and push the workpiece 4 close to the inner wall of the packaging bottom box 3, effectively preventing the position of the workpiece 4 from deviating.

[0075] See also Figure 4 , further, the supporting structure 21 includes a transfer pad 211, a transfer pressure plate 212, a pressure plate cylinder 213 and a cylinder mounting plate 214;

[0076] The cylinder mounting plate 214 is connected to the backing plate to cut off the piston rod of the cylinder 23;

[0077] A pressing plate cylinder 213 is provided on the outer surface of the cylinder mounting plate 214, and a piston rod of the pressing plate cylinder 213 is connected to a moving pressing plate 212, and the moving pressing plate is used to fix the workpiece 4;

[0078] The transfer pad 211 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the cylinder mounting plate 214 and is used to support the workpiece 4 through the movable notch.

[0079] In this embodiment, the piston rod of the cylinder 23 is driven by the pad cutting cylinder 23 to drive the cylinder mounting plate 214 connected thereto to move forward or backward, and a transfer pad 211 is connected to the cylinder mounting plate 214, which in turn drives the transfer pad 211 to achieve a forward extension action or a reset action.

[0080] In addition, in order to further prevent the workpiece 4 from falling during the moving process, a transfer pressing plate 212 may be provided in addition to the transfer pad 211, and a pressing plate cylinder 213 is installed on the outer surface of the cylinder mounting plate 214 to drive the transfer pressing plate 212 downward through its piston rod to fix the workpiece 4. When the transfer pad 211 is reset, the pressing plate cylinder 213 drives the piston rod to drive the transfer pressing plate 212 to move upward, release the workpiece 4 to complete the reset action.

[0081] Optionally, the packaging bottom box 3 is composed of a bottom and a side wall connected;

[0082] The side wall has at least one notch for matching the supporting structure 21 .

[0083] In this embodiment, the packaging base box 3 is an L-shaped packaging box. Taking the packaging base box 3 with a rectangular bottom shape as an example, the packaging base box 3 is formed by connecting at least two side walls on the bottom, and the notch is used to match the insertion method of the supporting structure 21 to meet the boxing requirements of the workpiece 4.

[0084] In an embodiment of the utility model, a workpiece box loading mechanism is provided, including a box loading platform and a box loading execution component. After a packaging base box is placed on the box loading platform, the workpiece is transferred from an upstream mechanism via a supporting structure in the box loading execution component and placed in the packaging base box. When the supporting structure is pulled out and reset, the workpiece is limited by a baffle in the box loading execution component so that it is close to the inner wall of the packaging base box, thereby effectively preventing the workpiece from falling out of the box or the position of the workpiece from deviating due to the inertia of the supporting structure after the workpiece is boxed, thereby effectively improving the workpiece box loading efficiency.
