[0026] The technical solution of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inside", "outside" and the like indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0027] The utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the lithium battery flipping and sorting equipment includes a first flip seat 1, two groups of clamping assemblies, two groups of rotating assemblies, a flip assembly and a lifting assembly; the first flip seat 1 is rotatably connected to the two groups of clamping assemblies, and the two groups of clamping assemblies are respectively connected to one group of rotating assemblies; the first flip seat 1 is rotatably connected to the flip assembly, and the flip assembly is connected to the lifting assembly.

[0029] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the clamping assembly includes a fixed plate 2, the upper end of the fixed plate 2 is connected to a transmission column 3, and the transmission column 3 is rotatably connected to the first flip seat 1; the lower end surface of the fixed plate 2 is movably connected to two clamping claws 4, and anti-slip pads 20 are provided on the opposite surfaces of the two clamping claws 4. The two clamping claws 4 are respectively connected to a set of driving components. The driving assembly includes a first driving cylinder 5, which is connected to the upper end surface of the fixed plate 2, and the output end of the first driving cylinder 5 is connected to a T-shaped connector 6. A through slot 7 is provided on the fixed plate 2, and the lower end of the T-shaped connector 6 passes through the through slot 7 to connect the clamping claws 4. Providing two sets of clamping assemblies at the same time can improve the efficiency of handling and flipping lithium batteries.

[0030] Specifically, the two first driving cylinders 5 are contracted to bring the two clamping jaws 4 closer together to clamp the lithium battery, and the two first driving cylinders 5 are extended at the same time to move the two clamping jaws 4 away from each other, thereby releasing the clamped lithium battery.

[0031] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the rotating assembly includes a gear 8, which is connected to the upper end surface of the transmission column 3, the first flip seat 1 is connected to the second driving cylinder 9, the output end of the second driving cylinder 9 is connected to the rack 10, and the rack 10 is meshed with the gear 8.

[0032] Specifically, the two groups of clamping assemblies can clamp two lithium batteries at the same time for flipping and sorting. The clamped lithium batteries may have electrodes in different directions, which is not convenient for flipping and placing. The second driving cylinder 9 is extended to drive the rack 10 to move, and the movement of the rack 10 drives the meshing gear 8 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 8 drives the transmission column 3 to drive the connected fixed plate 2 and the two clamping claws 4 to rotate and adjust the direction, so that the electrodes of the two lithium batteries clamped by the two groups of clamping assemblies are in the same direction, which is convenient for placement.

[0033] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the flip assembly includes a second flip seat 11, the right end of the second flip seat 11 is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft 12, one end of the first rotating shaft 12 passes through the second flip seat 11 and is connected to the output end of the first driving motor 13, and the first flip seat 1 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 12; the left end of the second flip seat 11 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 14, both ends of the second rotating shaft 14 are rotatably connected to the upper end of the third flip seat 15, and one end of the second rotating shaft 14 passes through the third flip seat 15 and is connected to the output end of the second driving motor 16. The first driving motor 13 is connected to the outer side wall of the second flip seat 11; the second driving motor 16 is connected to the outer side wall of the third flip seat 15.

[0034] Specifically, the first drive motor 13 drives the first rotating shaft 12 to rotate, so that the connected first flip seat 1 rotates, and the second drive motor 16 drives the second rotating shaft 14 to rotate, so that the connected second flip seat 11 rotates, thereby causing the clamping assembly to flip the lithium battery clamped from the right side of the fixed seat 17 to the left side of the fixed seat 17, completing the flipping and sorting of the lithium batteries.

[0035] like Figure 6 As shown, the lifting assembly includes a fixed seat 17, two countersunk holes 18 are arranged in the fixed seat 17, and a third driving cylinder 19 is arranged in each of the two countersunk holes 18. The output end of the third driving cylinder 19 is connected to the lower end surface of the third flip seat 15.

[0036] Specifically, the output end of the third driving cylinder 19 extends or retracts to drive the connected third flip seat 15 to rise or fall, thereby causing the entire device to rise and fall.

[0037] By setting up the lithium battery flipping and sorting equipment, machines are used to replace manual operations, which reduces the fatigue of personnel, improves the flipping efficiency, increases the production output, and reduces the labor cost.

[0038] Working principle: This equipment is installed between the material frame and the chain plate line fixing tooling. The third driving cylinder 19 drives the third flip seat 15 to descend, so that the clamping claw 4 contacts the lithium battery in the material frame. The two first driving cylinders 5 contract at the same time to make the two clamping claws 4 close together to clamp the lithium battery. (The two lithium battery electrodes clamped by the two groups of clamping components have different directions. The second driving cylinder 9 extends to drive the rack 10 to move. The movement of the rack 10 drives the meshing gear 8 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 8 drives the transmission column 3 to drive the connected fixed plate 2 and the two clamping claws 4 to rotate, adjust the direction of the lithium battery, and then make the two groups of clamping components The electrodes of the two clamped lithium batteries are in the same direction for easy placement). The first drive motor 13 drives the first rotating shaft 12 to rotate, so that the connected first flip seat 1 rotates. The second drive motor 16 drives the second rotating shaft 14 to rotate, so that the connected second flip seat 11 rotates, thereby causing the clamping assembly to flip the lithium battery clamped from the right side of the fixed seat 17 to the left side of the fixed seat 17. Then the third drive cylinder 19 retracts to drive the connected third flip seat 15 to descend, and the lithium battery is placed on the chain plate line fixing tooling. The two first drive cylinders 5 extend at the same time, so that the two clamps 4 move away from each other, and the clamped lithium battery can be released.
