Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of new energy, in particular to a new energy battery module gripper. Background Art

[0002] With the vigorous development of new energy in my country, more and more manufacturers are investing in the production and research and development of new energy battery modules as new energy. And each process of producing new energy battery modules basically requires specific grippers to realize the grasping and handling of battery shell modules.

[0003] The existing grippers for handling new energy batteries have some areas that need innovation in terms of handling safety, gripper position detection, and placement and collision. For example:

[0004] (1) The grippers of new energy battery modules are often pneumatically controlled. However, in the actual production process, there is a possibility of air interruption and misoperation. During the handling of new energy battery modules, due to compressed air leakage or the operator accidentally pressing the release button, the module falls accidentally without being placed in place, which often poses a safety hazard.

[0005] (2) Since the weight of new energy battery modules is heavy (about 300KG), the grippers for carrying new energy battery modules are often also very heavy (about 100KG). When the operator uses the grippers to grab the new energy battery modules, if they are not careful, the grippers will often press on the modules. If they are not careful, the module shell will be crushed, and in serious cases, the module may even be scrapped.

[0006] (3) Since the battery shell module is rectangular in shape, operators often need to rotate around the module when carrying the new energy battery module, which is very inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0007] In order to solve the above problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a new energy battery module gripper.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is:

[0009] A new energy battery module gripper, wherein the main frame 8 is a frame structure, with split frames 801 welded and installed evenly around it; an operating handle 3 is installed at the front of each split frame 801; a clamping cylinder 6 is installed at the bottom of the split frame 801, and an anti-fall claw 4 is installed at the bottom of the clamping cylinder 6; the button of the operating handle 3 controls the operation of the clamping cylinder 6; four groups of springs 2 are vertically installed and fixed around the bottom of the main frame 8, and a lower limit plate 1 is fixed at the bottom of the four groups of springs 2, and the lower limit plate 1 is arranged horizontally; a lower limit sensing bracket 7 is installed on the top of the main frame 8, and a lower limit travel switch 5 is installed inside the lower limit sensing bracket 7; one of the four groups of springs 2 is connected to the lower limit travel switch 5.

[0010] The utility model also has the following additional technical features:

[0011] As a further specific optimization of the technical solution of the utility model: the model of the spring 2 is a nitrogen spring of DX1500*25.

[0012] As a further specific optimization of the technical solution of the utility model: the model of the lower limit travel switch 5 is CHINT YBLX-ME / 8108 travel switch limit switch.

[0013] As a further specific optimization of the technical solution of the utility model: the model of the clamping cylinder 6SMC is MKB25-10LZ-20LZ rotary clamping cylinder.

[0014] As a further specific optimization of the technical solution of the utility model: the model of the anti-fall claw 4 is Aovita PST-3100 / 13 pneumatic clamp.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0016] Advantage 1: New energy battery modules are of high value and heavy weight. During production and transportation, preventing bumps and falls is the bottom line of safety. The anti-fall 4 design solves the risk of falling during transportation of new energy battery modules and avoids the possibility of the anti-fall claw 4 pressing on the module. The design of the four-sided operating handles greatly facilitates the operator's handling efficiency.

[0017] Advantage 2: In the actual production process, the yield rate of the product is greatly improved, and safety hazards such as fire caused by the falling of the battery shell module are avoided. It not only greatly improves the yield rate of the factory, but also greatly reduces the risks and safety hazards in the product production process, reducing the risk caused by falling to 0.5%, greatly improving the efficiency of the factory.

[0019] Explanation of the reference numerals: lower limit plate 1, spring 2, operating handle 3, anti-fall claw 4, lower limit travel switch 5, clamping cylinder 6, lower limit sensing bracket 7 and main frame 8. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] A new energy battery module gripper comprises a lower limit plate 1, a spring 2, an operating handle 3, an anti-fall claw 4, a lower limit travel switch 5, a clamping cylinder 6, a lower limit sensing bracket 7 and a main frame 8.

[0022] The main frame 8 is a frame-type structure, with split frames 801 welded and installed evenly around it; an operating handle 3 is installed on the front of each split frame 801; a clamping cylinder 6 is installed at the bottom of the split frame 801, and an anti-fall claw 4 is installed at the bottom of the clamping cylinder 6; the button of the operating handle 3 controls the operation of the clamping cylinder 6.

[0023] Four groups of springs 2 are vertically installed and fixed around the bottom of the main frame 8, and a lower limit plate 1 is fixed to the bottom of the four groups of springs 2, and the lower limit plate 1 is arranged horizontally; a lower limit sensing bracket 7 is installed on the top of the main frame 8, and a lower limit travel switch 5 is installed inside the lower limit sensing bracket 7; one group of the four groups of springs 2 is connected to the lower limit travel switch 5.

[0024] In actual use, the model of spring 2 is DX1500*25 nitrogen spring. The model of lower limit travel switch 5 is CHINT YBLX-ME / 8108 travel switch limit switch. The model of clamping cylinder 6SMC is MKB25-10LZ-20LZ rotary clamping cylinder. The model of anti-drop claw 4 is Aovita PST-3100 / 13 pneumatic clamp.

[0025] Working principle of new energy battery module gripper:

[0026] The gripper of the new energy battery module adopts a dead point mechanism, that is, the switch of the anti-fall claw 4 is controlled by a pneumatic clamping cylinder 6. However, when the air pressure of the clamping cylinder 6 is disconnected, the opening action of the anti-fall claw 4 cannot be opened by itself, and external compressed air input is required to execute. In this way, when the anti-fall claw 4 grabs the new energy battery module, if the clamping cylinder 6 accidentally loses air, the anti-fall claw 4 will not open, causing the new energy battery module to fall. In addition, the release button of the operating handle 3 that controls the anti-fall claw 4 adopts a double-button setting, that is, the anti-fall claw 4 can only be opened when the left and right hands simultaneously press the double-button release button of the operating handle 3, so as to avoid the accidental fall of the new energy battery module due to the release of the release button due to misoperation.

[0027] When the anti-fall claw 4 of the new energy battery module approaches the new energy battery module from top to bottom and grabs the new energy battery module, the lower limit plate 1 of the new energy battery module grabber first contacts the new energy battery module. The lower limit plate 1 and the lower limit travel switch 5 are connected by a spring. When the lower limit plate 1 falls to a suitable position, the lower limit travel switch 5 is compressed and triggered. The lower limit travel switch 5 sends a signal to the hoist, and the hoist stops falling. This avoids the situation where the anti-fall claw 4 falls and presses the new energy battery module.

[0028] The anti-fall claw 4 adopts a mode of setting handles on four sides, that is, each side of the anti-fall claw 4 has an operating handle, so that workers do not need to rotate the module when operating the anti-fall claw 4, and only need to communicate the operating handles on each side to achieve easy carrying operations.

[0029] The above detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention.
