[0002] With the growing demand for energy conservation, electric vehicles have become an important development direction for the automotive industry in the future. However, the limited capacity of power batteries and the slow charging time of power batteries also restrict the development of electric vehicles. Battery swapping technology has successfully solved the problem of electric vehicle range. During the battery swapping process, the removal and installation of the battery pack has become the most important part of the battery swapping technology operation. During the battery swapping process, the battery pack on the vehicle needs to be removed and transferred to the charging cabinet, and then the new battery pack is grabbed from the charging cabinet and installed in the battery compartment of the vehicle.

[0003] However, the sizes of battery packs in different new energy vehicles are different. When conventional manipulators grab battery rolls, it is difficult to locate and confirm the position and direction of the materials. It is easy to damage the battery pack during the clamping process, which reduces the product yield and has low transportation efficiency. Therefore, a positioning mechanism for confirming the position and direction of materials is proposed. Utility Model Content
