Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery processing, in particular to a manipulator capable of stably loading batteries. Background Art

[0002] A battery is a device that can convert chemical energy into electrical energy. It consists of one or more battery cells, each of which contains a positive electrode, a negative electrode and an electrolyte. When the battery is in working condition, ion conduction is formed between the positive and negative electrodes through the electrolyte to generate current. Batteries are widely used in daily life and industry to power various devices such as mobile phones, laptops, handheld tools, and electric vehicles. In the production of batteries, robots are needed to transport and carry batteries.

[0003] At present, the existing battery loading robot usually descends to the material frame, sucks up the battery to a certain height through a vacuum suction cup, and drives the upper rotating pressure arm to swing downward through a motor to make it fit against the outer wall of the battery to prevent the battery from falling. Although the pressure of the motor-driven rotating pressure arm is adjustable, when fixing batteries of different weights or sizes, repeated adjustments are required to achieve the appropriate pressure. Otherwise, the pressure is too small to fix the battery, and too much pressure can easily cause damage to the battery.

[0004] Therefore, a robot that can stably load batteries is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the utility model provides a robot arm that can stably load batteries. It has the advantages of being able to flexibly and stably transport batteries of different weights and sizes. It solves the problem that when the traditional method uses a motor-driven pressing arm to clamp different batteries, it is necessary to repeatedly adjust the force generated by the motor-driven pressing arm, which is time-consuming.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a manipulator capable of stably loading batteries, comprising an adsorption component and a positioning component, wherein the adsorption component comprises a mounting plate connected to the manipulator, a driving motor is fixed on the rear side of the mounting plate, the output end of the driving motor passes through the front side of the mounting plate and is fixed with a connecting rod, the output end of the driving motor has the function of alternating rotation in both directions, and the dwell time of the output end after each rotation can be set, and after the driving motor is operated, the output end drives the connecting rod to rotate synchronously;

[0007] The positioning assembly includes a positioning plate movably connected to the front side of the mounting plate, an auxiliary plate is fixed to the rear side of the positioning plate, and mutually interpenetrating connecting grooves are opened at the center positions of the positioning plate and the auxiliary plate, and are movably sleeved on the connecting rod. When the connecting rod rotates, the positioning plate is driven to move at the same time. When the positioning plate is in a vertical state, one end of the positioning plate and the mounting plate have a clamping effect on the battery, and when the positioning plate is in a horizontal state, it is in a state before loading or unloading. The connecting rod is elliptical, and the connecting groove is consistent with the side of the connecting rod, so that when the connecting rod drives the positioning plate to rotate, the positioning plate can be translated on the connecting rod, so that the distance between it and the mounting plate can be adjusted according to the thickness of the battery.

[0008] When loading the battery, the driving motor is controlled to operate so that its output end drives the connecting rod to rotate. When the positioning plate is in a horizontal state, it contacts the side of the battery. At this time, the output end of the driving motor rotates in the opposite direction, so that the positioning plate is in a vertical state, so that the rubber panel installed at one end is attached to the side of the battery. At the same time, the electric telescopic rod is controlled to operate so that its output end drives the first vacuum suction cup to move outward until the suction cup mouth at the front end is adsorbed on the side of the battery. At the same time, the suction cup mouth on the second vacuum suction cup is controlled to be adsorbed on the back side of the battery. The robot is controlled to operate to load the adsorbed battery to the device table of the next step. After placement, the first and second vacuum suction cups are controlled to deflate. At the same time, the output end of the driving motor is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the positioning plate is in a horizontal state, so that the battery is detached. The above steps are cyclically operated to achieve continuous loading of the battery.

[0009] As a further improvement of the above solution, a regulating ring is movably hinged in the connecting rod, and a regulating screw is movably sleeved in the connecting rod and threadedly connected in the regulating ring;

[0010] Through the above technical solution, the adjustment ring is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise to make the inside of the adjustment ring threadedly connected with the side of the adjustment screw, thereby controlling the adjustment screw to extend and retract forward and backward in the connecting rod.

[0011] As a further improvement of the above solution, a linkage plate is fixed to one end of the regulating screw, and a linkage rod is fixed to the front side of the positioning plate, and one end of the linkage rod is fixed to the linkage plate;

[0012] Through the above technical solution, when the regulating screw rod is telescoped forward and backward, the linkage plate drives the linkage rod to move forward and backward at the same time to adjust the distance between the opposite surfaces of the positioning plate and the mounting plate.

[0013] As a further improvement of the above solution, a stabilizing slide groove is provided on the side of the connecting rod, and a positioning button is movably sleeved in the connecting groove, and one end of the positioning button is slidably connected in the stabilizing slide groove;

[0014] Through the above technical solution, stabilizing grooves are opened on both sides of the connecting rod. The position of the positioning plate on the connecting rod can be adjusted by separating the front end of the positioning button from the depth of the stabilizing groove, and the front end of the positioning button is close to the depth of the stabilizing groove, thereby achieving the effect of initially fixing the position of the positioning plate on the connecting rod.

[0015] As a further improvement of the above solution, a sleeve rod is fixed to the tail end of the positioning button, a tension spring is movably sleeved on the side of the sleeve rod, and one end of the tension spring is fixed in the positioning plate;

[0016] Through the above technical solution, the tension spring has the function of pushing the positioning button forward, so that the front end of the positioning button is tightly attached to the deep part of the stable slide groove. The tension spring is sleeved on the sleeve rod and telescopically moves, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the positioning button and allowing the positioning button to be evenly stressed.

[0017] As a further improvement of the above solution, the positioning plate is provided with a regulating slot, a regulating button is slidably connected in the regulating slot, and one end of the regulating button is fixed on the positioning button;

[0018] Through the above technical scheme, regulating grooves are opened on the positioning plate and at relative positions at both ends of the connecting groove. The regulating buttons slidably connected in the regulating grooves are fixed on the positioning buttons accordingly. By pushing the regulating buttons to both ends, the front end of the connected positioning buttons is separated from the effect of the stable grooves.

[0019] As a further improvement of the above solution, a stabilizing groove is provided on the side of the auxiliary plate, and a first vacuum suction cup is movably sleeved in the stabilizing groove;

[0020] Through the above technical solution, the side of the first vacuum suction cup is consistent with the stabilizing groove, which increases the stability of the first vacuum suction cup moving forward and backward. When the positioning plate is in a vertical state, the first vacuum suction cup moves downward to achieve adsorption of the side of the battery.

[0021] As a further improvement of the above scheme, equipment installation grooves are opened on both sides of the auxiliary plate away from the stabilizing groove, and an electric telescopic rod is fixed in the equipment installation groove. At the same time, an interconnected limiting slide groove is opened between the stabilizing groove and the equipment installation groove, and the output end of the electric telescopic rod is slidably connected in the limiting slide groove and fixed on the side of the first vacuum suction cup.

[0022] As a further improvement of the above solution, equipment installation grooves are provided on both sides of the auxiliary plate away from the stabilizing groove, an electric telescopic rod is fixed in the equipment installation groove, and an output end of the electric telescopic rod is fixed to the side of the first vacuum suction cup;

[0023] Through the above technical solution, when the output end of the electric telescopic rod is telescopically moved, the first vacuum suction cup is driven to move forward and backward at the same time, so that it can be adsorbed on the side of the battery with different widths.

[0024] As a further improvement of the above solution, a rubber panel is fixed to the rear side of the positioning plate;

[0025] Through the above technical solution, the rubber panel is used to increase the friction resistance between the rubber panel and the battery contact surface to achieve preliminary fixation.

[0026] As a further improvement of the above solution, a second vacuum suction cup is fixed to the front side of the mounting plate, and both the second vacuum suction cup and the first vacuum suction cup are fixed with suction cup nozzles;

[0027] Through the above technical solution, after the second vacuum suction cup is operated, the suction cup mouth fixed thereto is adsorbed on the rear side of the battery, thereby achieving secondary fixation of the battery to prevent it from falling off.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the utility model provides a manipulator that can stably load batteries, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] 1. The robot arm capable of stably loading batteries drives the positioning plate to rotate by driving the output end of the motor. When the positioning plate is in a horizontal state, the mounting plate descends as a whole to capture the battery. The output end of the driving motor is controlled to operate in reverse so that the positioning plate is in a vertical state. The rubber panel is attached to the front side of the battery, and the battery is controlled between the mounting plate and the positioning plate. At this time, the first and second vacuum suction cups are controlled to operate synchronously. The suction cup mouth of the first vacuum suction cup is adsorbed on the side of the battery, and the suction cup mouth of the second vacuum suction cup is adsorbed on the back side of the battery. Through the two-way adsorption force, batteries of different weights can be effectively and stably lifted and transported.

[0030] 2. The robot arm that can stably load batteries can rotate the regulating ring to adjust the screw rod to extend and retract in the connecting rod, so that the front linkage plate drives the positioning plate to move through the linkage rod, and adjusts the distance between the positioning plate and the mounting plate to meet the requirements of loading batteries of different models and sizes. At the same time, the accuracy of the required loading model batteries is ensured. Batteries that are larger or smaller than the adjusted distance and have bulges cannot be loaded, thereby ensuring the quality and accuracy of battery production. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

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. Example

[0041] See also Figure 1-6 As shown, the manipulator for stably loading batteries proposed in this embodiment includes an adsorption component 1 and a positioning component 2. The adsorption component 1 includes a mounting plate 101 connected to the manipulator, and a driving motor 103 is fixed to the rear side of the mounting plate 101. The output end of the driving motor 103 passes through the front side of the mounting plate 101 and is fixed with a connecting rod 104. The output end of the driving motor 103 has the function of bidirectional alternating rotation, and the dwell time of the output end after each rotation can be set. After the driving motor 103 operates, its output end drives the connecting rod 104 to rotate synchronously;

[0042] The positioning assembly 2 includes a positioning plate 201 movably connected to the front side of the mounting plate 101, and an auxiliary plate 202 is fixed to the rear side of the positioning plate 201. At the same time, the central positions of the positioning plate 201 and the auxiliary plate 202 are provided with mutually interpenetrating connecting grooves 203, and are movably sleeved on the connecting rod 104. When the connecting rod 104 rotates, the positioning plate 201 is driven to move at the same time. When the positioning plate 201 is in a vertical state, one end of the positioning plate and the mounting plate 101 have a clamping effect on the battery, and when the positioning plate 201 is in a horizontal state, it is in a state before loading or unloading, and the connecting rod 104 is elliptical, and the connecting groove 203 is consistent with the side of the connecting rod 104, so that when the connecting rod 104 drives the positioning plate 201 to rotate, the positioning plate 201 can be translated on the connecting rod 104, so that the distance between it and the mounting plate 101 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the battery.

[0043] The working principle of the manipulator for stably loading batteries proposed in this embodiment is as follows: when in use, the driving motor 103 is controlled to operate so that its output end drives the connecting rod 104 to rotate. When the positioning plate 201 is in a horizontal state, it contacts the side of the battery. At this time, the output end of the driving motor 103 rotates in the opposite direction, so that the positioning plate 201 is in a vertical state, so that the rubber panel 215 installed at one end is attached to the side of the battery. At the same time, the electric telescopic rod 210 is controlled to operate so that its output end drives the first vacuum suction cup 213 to move outward until the suction cup mouth 214 at the front end is adsorbed on the side of the battery. At the same time, the suction cup mouth 214 on the second vacuum suction cup 102 is controlled to be adsorbed on the rear side of the battery. When the manipulator is controlled to operate, the adsorbed battery is loaded onto the device table of the next step. After placement, the first and second vacuum suction cups are controlled to be deflated. At the same time, the output end of the driving motor 103 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the positioning plate 201 is in a horizontal state, so that the battery is detached. The above steps are cyclically operated to achieve continuous loading of the battery. Example

[0045] In this solution, the regulating ring 107 is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise to control the effect of the regulating screw 106 extending forward and backward in the connecting rod 104 under the effect of the threaded connection between the inner part and the side of the regulating screw 106. When the regulating screw 106 is adjusted to extend forward and backward, the connecting rod 216 is driven to move forward and backward at the same time through the connecting plate 108 to adjust the distance between the opposite surfaces of the positioning plate 201 and the mounting plate 101. Both sides of the connecting rod 104 are provided with a stable slide groove 105. The front end of the positioning button 206 is separated from the stable slide groove 105. 05, the position of the positioning plate 201 on the connecting rod 104 can be adjusted, and the front end of the positioning button 206 is close to the depth of the stable slide groove 105, so as to achieve the effect of preliminarily fixing the position of the positioning plate 201 on the connecting rod 104, and the tension spring 208 has the function of pushing the positioning button 206 forward, so that the front end of the positioning button 206 is close to the depth of the stable slide groove 105, and the tension spring 208 is sleeved on the sleeve rod 207 to move telescopically, so as to improve the stability of the movement of the positioning button 206, so that the positioning button 20 6 can be evenly stressed.

The regulating buttons 205 slidably connected in the regulating grooves 204 are fixed on the positioning buttons 206 accordingly. By pushing the regulating buttons 205 to both ends, the front end of the connected positioning buttons 206 is separated from the action in the stable grooves 105. The side of the first vacuum suction cup 213 coincides with the inside of the stable groove 211, thereby increasing the stability of the first vacuum suction cup 213 moving forward and backward. When the positioning plate 201 is in a vertical state, the first vacuum suction cup 213 moves downward to achieve adsorption of the battery side. When the output end of the electric telescopic rod 210 moves telescopically, it drives the first vacuum suction cup 213 to move forward and backward at the same time, so that it can be adsorbed on the battery side with different widths. The rubber panel 215 is used to increase the friction resistance between the contact surface with the battery to achieve preliminary fixation. After the second vacuum suction cup 102 is operated, it is adsorbed on the rear side of the battery through the suction cup mouth 214 fixed thereto, thereby achieving secondary fixation of the battery to prevent it from falling off.
