Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of drone battery production, and in particular to a pick-and-place structure for drone battery manufacturing. Background Art

[0002] Unmanned aerial vehicles, referred to as "drones", are unmanned aircraft that are controlled by radio remote control equipment and self-contained program control devices. Drones usually use lithium-ion batteries or lithium polymer batteries as power supply components. During the production process of drone batteries, the batteries need to be picked up and placed. For example, Chinese patent CN219383975U discloses a pick-and-place structure for drone battery manufacturing, including two support seats, guide rods are fixedly installed on the opposite sides of the two support seats, and a sliding seat is slidably connected to the outer side of the guide rod. A buffer mechanism is provided at the bottom of the sliding seat, and a buffer assembly is provided at the bottom of the sliding seat. The buffer mechanism includes a U-shaped plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding seat, and two cylinders are fixedly installed on the top of the U-shaped plate. The pick-and-place structure for the manufacture of batteries for unmanned aerial vehicles has a buffer mechanism and a buffer component, so that the pick-and-place device has a buffer protection function, thereby achieving the effect of buffering protection for the battery, thereby preventing the limit plate from colliding with the battery on the production line during movement and causing damage to it, and then protecting the battery in the process of clamping the battery, which is convenient for users and increases the practicality of the pick-and-place device. However, the pick-and-place structure can only move the U-shaped plate up, down, left, and right, but cannot move forward and backward. When the battery is in a battery rack with a multi-layer structure, it is inconvenient to take out and subsequently place the battery, and the scope of application is subject to certain restrictions. Therefore, a pick-and-place structure for the manufacture of batteries for unmanned aerial vehicles is proposed to facilitate the pick-and-place of batteries. Utility Model Content
