[0021] 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.

[0022] Refer to the attached Figure 1 , 2As shown, a spacing flipping mechanism of a manipulator described in the utility model includes a flipping cylinder 1, a support plate 11, a plurality of suction cup assemblies and a spacing cylinder 5.

[0023] The flip cylinder 1 is used to perform a flipping action to achieve the flipping of the battery pack 6 after separation. The flip cylinder 1 is a standard cylinder. The cylinder body of the flip cylinder 1 is connected to the upper fixed seat 13 through an articulated seat. The upper fixed seat 13 is used to connect to the manipulator. The piston rod of the flip cylinder 1 is installed with a U-shaped fork, which is connected to one end of a connecting rod 3 through the U-shaped fork, and the other end of the connecting rod is keyed to a rotating shaft 12. The rotating shaft 12 is parallel to the rotation axis of the articulated seat.

[0024] A flip frame 4 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper surface of the support plate 11, and a side plate 401 is respectively arranged on both sides of the flip frame 4, and a lower fixed seat 2 is arranged between the two side plates 401, and the lower fixed seat 2 is connected to the manipulator. The side plates 401 and the lower fixed seat 2 are both provided with shaft holes for the rotation shaft 12 to pass through, wherein the shaft hole of the side plate 401 is key-connected with the rotation shaft 12, the diameter of the shaft hole on the lower fixed seat 2 is larger than the diameter of the rotation shaft 12, and a space is reserved between the bottom of the lower fixed seat 2 and the flip frame 4 to meet the rotation of the flip frame 4. When the flip cylinder 1 drives the connecting rod 3 to move, the connecting rod 3 drives the rotation shaft 12 to rotate, and the rotation shaft 12 drives the flip frame 4 and the support plate 11 to flip to a certain angle through the key.

[0025] The suction cup assembly includes a suction cup frame 7 and a plurality of suction cups 8 mounted on the suction cup frame 7. An air path for controlling the suction cups 8 is arranged in the suction cup frame 7 and is connected to an external air source via a hose. The plurality of suction cup assemblies are divided into a fixed suction cup assembly and a movable suction cup assembly, wherein the suction cup frame 7 of the fixed suction cup assembly is fixed on the lower surface of the support plate 11, the suction cup frame 7 of the movable suction cup assembly is slidably arranged in a track groove on the lower surface of the support plate 11, and a slide groove 10 is arranged on the upper surface of the support plate 11, a slider 9 sliding along the slide groove 10 is fixedly connected to the suction cup frame 7 of the movable suction cup assembly through the slide groove 10, and the sliding of the slider 9 along the slide groove 10 can drive the movable suction cup assembly to move along the track groove to adjust the distance between the movable suction cup assembly and the adjacent fixed suction cup assembly. The movement of the slider 9 is driven by a spacing cylinder 5 arranged on the upper surface of the support plate 11, the spacing cylinder 5 is fixed on the support plate 11, and the piston rod is fixedly connected to the slider 9.

[0026] In this embodiment, four suction cup assemblies are arranged on the support plate 11, including two fixed suction cup assemblies and two movable suction cup assemblies, and the fixed suction cup assemblies and the movable suction cup assemblies are arranged alternately.

[0027] Preferably, in this embodiment, the spacing cylinder 5 adopts a double cylinder, which has better stability and precision.

[0028] When in use, the piston rod of the spacing cylinder 5 extends to start the suction cup assembly, each suction cup assembly sucks up the battery pack on the servo conveyor, and then the spacing cylinder 5 retracts to adjust the spacing of the battery pack 6 according to the set target. After the spacing is completed, Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the piston rod of the flip cylinder 1 extends to flip the battery pack 6 to a certain angle, generally 90°, waiting for the robot fixture of the next step to absorb the battery pack.

[0029] Specifically in this embodiment, after the spacing cylinder 5 completes the spacing action, the four battery packs 6 are arranged in groups of two, and a certain interval is maintained between the groups, and the spacing between the battery packs 6 in the group is eliminated. Figure 2 The battery pack 6 is flipped 90° to a vertical position (as shown in FIG. Figure 4 shown).
