DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. 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.

[0024] This embodiment aims at the technical problem that currently the trays are mainly removed from the production line by means of a fixed-spacing tray removal fixture, but the fixed-spacing tray removal fixture can only remove the trays for one type of battery cell spacing and can only adapt to one type of battery cell spacing in the material flow. When the battery cell spacing in the tray or the battery cell spacing in the material flow changes, it is more difficult to work, production changeover is difficult, and it is difficult to meet the growing production demand. A battery cell tray removal fixture is provided, which can adjust the distance between two clamping parts to adapt to the tray removal work of different battery cell spacings, facilitate production changeover, and meet the growing production demand.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 The battery cell 1 disassembly fixture of this embodiment is used to remove the battery cell 1 from the tray and transfer it to the production line, which includes a mounting part, a clamping part and an adjusting part. The battery cell 1 in this embodiment can be a blade battery cell 1 or a square shell battery cell 1.

[0026] The mounting part is used for the installation of the entire fixture and for installing the clamping part and the adjusting part. The mounting part can be a plate structure. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the mounting part includes an upper mounting plate 2, a mounting flange 3, two connecting plates 4 and a reinforcing rib plate 5. The upper mounting plate 2 is arranged horizontally and has a rectangular structure as a whole. A linear guide rail 15 arranged along its length direction is installed at the bottom of the upper mounting plate 2, and a centering limit screw 14 is installed at the center position of the bottom of the upper mounting plate 2. The mounting flange 3 is installed at the top center position of the upper mounting plate 2. The mounting flange 3 is used to connect the entire fixture to the manipulator, and the manipulator drives the entire fixture to move to perform the disassembly of the battery cell 1. The two connecting plates 4 are relatively installed at the bottom positions of both ends of the length direction of the upper mounting plate 2. The two connecting plates 4 are installed with margin limit screws 6 and hydraulic buffers 7 on the side away from each other. The reinforcing rib plate 5 is located below the upper mounting plate 2 and its length direction is consistent with the length direction of the upper mounting plate 2. The two ends of the reinforcing rib plate 5 are respectively fixedly connected to the two connecting plates 4. The structural setting of the reinforcing rib plate 5 can improve the stability and strength of the entire clamp, prevent the entire clamp from shaking excessively when it moves to the limit position, and ensure production safety. In this embodiment, the material of the entire mounting part is not specifically limited, as long as the material of the mounting part can meet the strength and stability of the clamp.

[0027] The clamping member includes a plurality of clamping assemblies mounted side by side on the mounting member and used to clamp the battery cell 1. The clamping assemblies can directly adopt the clamping devices capable of clamping the battery cell 1 in the prior art, and the number of clamping assemblies can also be reasonably set according to the actual situation. Specifically, in the present embodiment, two clamping assemblies are taken as an example for explanation, and each clamping assembly includes a slider 8, a clamping claw cylinder 9, two clamping claws 10 and a mounting seat 11. The sliders 8 of the two clamping assemblies are relatively slidably mounted on the linear guide rail 15, and there is a gap between the two sliders 8 and the reinforcing rib plate 5 to avoid friction with the reinforcing rib plate 5. The mounting seats 11 of the two clamping assemblies are respectively arranged below the two sliders 8, and there is also a gap between the fixed seat 17 and the reinforcing rib plate 5 to avoid forming a film layer with the reinforcing rib plate 5. The fixed seat 17 is connected to the mounting seat 11 through a plurality of elastic members 12, and the elastic member 12 can be a spring. The jaw cylinders 9 of the two clamping assemblies are respectively installed at the bottom of the two fixed seats 17, and the two jaws 10 of the clamping assembly are installed at the two output ends of the jaw cylinders 9 and driven by the jaw cylinders 9 to move closer to or away from each other. Through the above structural arrangement, when clamping the battery cell 1, the jaw cylinders 9 first drive the two jaws 10 to move away from each other. When the two jaws 10 are located on both sides of the battery cell 1, the jaw cylinders 9 drive the two jaws to move closer to each other to clamp the battery cell 1. The arrangement of the elastic member 12 can play an anti-collision protection role during the clamping action. In this embodiment, protective pads are provided on the opposite sides of the two jaws 10 to prevent the jaws 10 from directly contacting the battery cell 1 and causing damage to the battery cell 1. The protective pads can be made of polyurethane material. A photoelectric sensor 13 for detecting the battery cell 1 can also be installed on the side of one of the two clamping jaws 10. When the photoelectric sensor 13 detects that there is a battery cell 1 between the two clamping jaws 10, the photoelectric sensor 13 gives a signal to the clamping jaw cylinder 9 to drive the two clamping jaws to approach and clamp the battery cell 1. At the same time, during the action of the clamp, when the battery cell 1 falls, the photoelectric sensor 13 can alarm in time to ensure production efficiency and production safety.

[0028] The adjusting member is used to adjust the distance between any two adjacent clamping assemblies to adapt to different spacings of the battery cells 1 in the tray and the spacing of the battery cells 1 of the unloading material. As mentioned above, taking two clamping assemblies as an example, the adjusting member includes two adjusting cylinders 16, which are respectively mounted on both sides of the upper mounting plate 2 through a fixing seat 17, and the piston rods of the two adjusting cylinders 16 face opposite directions. The piston rods of the two adjusting cylinders 16 are respectively connected to the sliders 8 of the two clamping assemblies. The two adjusting cylinders 16 drive the two sliders 8 to move away from or closer to each other through extension and contraction, thereby adjusting the distance between the two clamping assemblies. The margin limit screws 6 and the hydraulic buffer 7 on the two connecting plates 4 can limit the movement of the slider 8. The margin limit screws 6 mainly have a hard limit function to limit the end point of the movement of the slider 8, and the hydraulic buffer 7 has a buffer limit function. When the slider 8 is about to reach the end point, the slider 9 contacts and squeezes the hydraulic buffer 7 to protect the safe and stable operation of the fixture. Of course, in other embodiments, the adjusting member may also be a screw transmission mechanism in the prior art, which drives the two sliders 8 to move closer to or away from each other through the rotation of the screw.

[0029] The above structural arrangement of the present embodiment can adjust the distance between the two clamping components in real time according to the spacing between the battery cells 1 in the tray when the tray is removed. At the same time, when the battery cells 1 are unloaded into the unloading logistics, the distance between the two clamping components can also be adjusted according to the spacing between the battery cells 1 in the unloading logistics, thereby satisfying the unloading and unloading work of different spacings of battery cells 1, realizing safe and fast unloading of the battery cells 1, flexibly adapting to unloading, improving production efficiency, saving costs, facilitating production changes, and being able to meet the growing production demand.
