Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of new energy battery production equipment, and specifically relates to a rotating spacing mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In the production of new energy batteries, battery packs usually include components such as battery cells, battery protection boards, battery connectors, and label paper. In the battery pack production line, the battery pack is placed flat on the conveyor line for transportation. During the transportation process, the battery pack needs to be separated and grouped. After separation, the battery pack needs to be placed in the prepared paper tray. However, in general, the direction of the battery pack when entering the conveyor line is inconsistent with the direction of placing it in the paper tray. Therefore, before placing the battery pack in the paper tray, it is necessary to rotate it, generally 90°, so that it can be better placed in the corresponding paper tray. At present, the operation of placing the battery pack in the paper tray usually requires the separation and rotation of two robots to be completed one after another. This affects the production rhythm on the one hand, and increases the investment cost of the equipment and the difficulty of control on the other hand. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but they are not intended to limit the present invention in any way.

[0020] See attached Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a rotary spacing mechanism includes a support plate 1, a rotary motor 2, a cylinder 4, a rotary fixing plate 8 and a suction cup assembly.

[0021] The support plate 1 is used to connect with the robot arm, and the robot arm controls the utility model to move in space. The body of the rotating motor 2 is fixed on the support plate 1, and the output shaft of the rotating motor 2 passes through the support plate 1 and is connected to the rotating fixed plate 8 to control the rotating fixed plate 8 to rotate a certain angle relative to the support plate 1. In order to achieve precise control of the rotation angle, the rotating motor 2 adopts a servo motor, and the rotation angle of the rotating motor 2 is set to 90° each time.

[0022] Furthermore, in order to further achieve precise control of the rotation angle, a proximity sensor 3 is provided on one side of the rotating motor 2, and a proximity sensor detection metal sheet 8 used in conjunction with the proximity sensor 3 is provided on the rotating fixed plate 8, so that the proximity sensor is used to detect whether the rotation action is in place.

[0023] The lower plate surface of the rotating fixed plate 8 is provided with the suction cup assembly. There are two types of suction cup assemblies, namely a fixed suction cup assembly 6 and a movable suction cup assembly 7. Both suction cup assemblies include a suction cup frame and a plurality of vacuum suction cups. The plurality of vacuum suction cups are mounted on the suction cup frame for sucking the battery pack. The suction cup frame of the fixed suction cup assembly 6 is fixedly connected to the rotating fixed plate 8, and the suction cup frame of the movable suction cup assembly 7 is fixedly connected to a slider 12. The slider 12 is slidably arranged along the slide groove 9 of the rotating fixed plate 8. The sliding of the slider 12 drives the movable suction cup assembly 7 to move in a straight line, thereby adjusting the distance from the fixed suction cup assembly 6, and further realizing the separation of the battery packs sucked by the two suction cup assemblies.

[0024] The sliding of the slider 12 is controlled by the cylinder 4 provided on the rotating fixed plate 8. The cylinder body of the cylinder 4 is fixed on the rotating fixed plate 8, and the end of the piston rod of the cylinder 4 is connected to the slider 12 through the adapter plate 11, and the adapter plate 11 is fixed to the slider 12 by welding or screw connection. A hydraulic buffer 10 is also provided at one end of the slide groove 9 of the rotating fixed plate 8. When the piston rod of the cylinder 4 is extended, the adapter plate 11 contacts the hydraulic buffer 10, so that the moving suction cup assembly 7 is decelerated, which plays a role in protecting the cylinder 4.

[0025] In other embodiments, a linear telescopic mechanism such as an electric push rod may be used to replace the cylinder, thereby driving the slider to slide linearly along the slide groove.

[0026] In other embodiments, other forms of flexible or elastic buffers may be used to replace the hydraulic buffer, such as rubber blocks, springs, etc.

[0027] Figure 1 and 3The utility model is shown in the state before and after the rotation separation. Figure 1 In the embodiment, the cylinder 4 is in the initial state with the piston rod retracted, and the movable suction cup assembly 7 is at the pre-separation position. At this time, the two suction cup assemblies respectively absorb two adjacent battery packs with a smaller distance, and the length direction of the rotating fixed plate 8 is parallel to the length direction of the bracket plate 1. Figure 3 In the figure, the piston rod of the cylinder 4 is extended, and the adapter plate 11 is pressed against the hydraulic buffer 10. At this time, the movable suction cup assembly 7 is located in the post-separation position. The movable suction cup assembly 7 moves with the sucked battery pack, and increases the distance between the movable suction cup assembly 7 and the fixed suction cup assembly 6, so as to achieve the separation of two adjacent battery packs. After the rotating motor 2 drives the rotating fixed plate 8 to rotate 90°, the length direction of the rotating fixed plate 8 is perpendicular to the length direction of the bracket plate 1, so as to complete the rotation of the battery packs on the two suction cup assemblies.

[0028] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Ordinary technicians in the relevant field should understand that the specific implementation methods of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents with reference to the above embodiments. Any modifications or equivalent replacements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the pending claims.
