Based on the embodiments of 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] For specific embodiment 1, please refer to Figure 1-5 The utility model is a lithium battery automated assembly device, including a clamping and fixing component 1 and a flipping and adjusting component 2. Specifically, the clamping and fixing component 1 includes a first clamping plate 101 and a second clamping plate 102 that can be moved horizontally. The second clamping plate 102 moves horizontally to adjust the distance between the second clamping plate 102 and the first clamping plate 101, and the position of the lithium battery between the two is limited.

[0025] Furthermore, the flipping and adjusting component 2 is fixedly connected to the clamping and fixing component 1. The flipping and adjusting component 2 includes a horizontally movable adjustment bracket 201, two flipping transmission columns 202 that can move up and down, and a rotatably arranged transmission disc 203. The flipping transmission column 202 moves upward to drive the clamping and fixing component 1 to move synchronously. After the flipping transmission column 202 contacts the adjustment bracket 201, it drives the transmission disc 203 to rotate 180°, and the clamping and fixing component 1 rotates 180° synchronously.

[0026] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: place the lithium battery to be assembled between the first clamping plate 101 and the second clamping plate 102, adjust the distance between the first clamping plate 101 and the second clamping plate 102 by controlling the horizontal movement of the second clamping plate 102, until the first clamping plate 101 and the second clamping plate 102 clamp and fix the lithium battery, and use welding tools to weld the upward end of the lithium battery; flip the transmission column 202 to move upward, drive the clamping and fixing component 1 to move upward synchronously, and after the flip transmission column 202 contacts the adjustment bracket 201, drive the transmission disc 203 to rotate 180°, and then drive the clamping and fixing component 1 to rotate 180° synchronously, so that the other end of the lithium battery faces upward, and welding is performed again.

[0027] For specific embodiment 2, please refer to Figure 1-5 On the basis of the specific embodiment 1, specifically, a plurality of limiting grooves 103 are provided on one side of the first clamping plate 101 and the second clamping plate 102, and the limiting grooves 103 on the first clamping plate 101 and the second clamping plate 102 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

The position of the first clamping plate 101 is fixed, and the distance between the two is adjusted by horizontal sliding of the second clamping plate 102.

[0028] Furthermore, a sliding adjustment screw 105 is rotatably connected between the two inner walls of the support rail 104, and the second clamping plate 102 and the sliding adjustment screw 105 are threadedly matched. The rotation of the sliding adjustment screw 105 drives the second clamping plate 102 to slide horizontally. A first drive motor 106 is fixedly installed on one side of the support rail 104, and the output shaft of the first drive motor 106 is fixedly connected to the sliding adjustment screw 105, and the first drive motor 106 is used to drive the sliding adjustment screw 105 to rotate.

[0029] The operation process of this embodiment is: place the lithium battery in turn between the two corresponding limit grooves 103 on the first clamping plate 101 and the second clamping plate 102, start the first drive motor 106 to drive the sliding adjustment screw 105 to rotate, and under the threaded cooperation between the sliding adjustment screw 105 and the second clamping plate 102, the second clamping plate 102 slides horizontally along the supporting rail 104 and gradually approaches the first clamping plate 101 until the first clamping plate 101 and the second clamping plate 102 are both in contact with the side surface of the lithium battery, so as to achieve clamping and fixing of the lithium battery, which is convenient for subsequent operations.

[0030] For specific embodiment 3, please refer to Figure 1-5 On the basis of the first and second specific embodiments, specifically, the flipping and direction adjustment component 2 also includes a horizontal slide rail 204, and the adjustment bracket 201 is slidably matched with the horizontal slide rail 204. The adjustment bracket 201 is a horizontal support plate with an L-shaped support plate structure symmetrically fixedly connected to the upper surface, and there is a certain gap between the horizontal sections of the two L-shaped support plate structures to facilitate the smooth flipping process. The bottom of the adjustment bracket 201 is fixedly connected with a triangular adjustment block 205, and the triangular adjustment block 205 is located at the center of the bottom of the adjustment bracket 201. The triangular adjustment block 205 is squeezed to drive the adjustment bracket 201 to slide horizontally along the horizontal slide rail 204 for a certain distance.

[0031] Furthermore, a side of the horizontal slide rail 204 away from the first clamping plate 101 is fixedly connected to a vertical slide rail 206, a transmission slider 207 is slidably arranged inside the vertical slide rail 206, one side of the transmission slider 207 is rotatably connected to a rotating support shaft 208, a transmission disc 203 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the rotating support shaft 208, the transmission disc 203 rotates synchronously with the rotating support shaft 208, and the rotating support shaft 208 is fixedly connected to the first clamping plate 101; two extension plates are fixedly connected to the side surface of the transmission disc 203, and the two extension plates are distributed at a right angle, the flip transmission column 202 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the corresponding two extension plates close to the first clamping plate 101, and the other side surface of the transmission slider 207 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the limiting columns 209, and the two limiting columns 209 are in the same horizontal position.

[0032] Furthermore, one end of the rotating support shaft 208 passes through the transmission slider 207 and is fixedly connected to a limit handle 210. Under the limiting action of the limit column 209, the limit handle 210 can only rotate 180°. An extension support plate is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the transmission slider 207. A side of the extension support plate away from the first clamping plate 101 is fixedly connected to a limit support rod 211, and a return spring 212 is fixedly connected between the limit support rod 211 and the limit handle 210; the vertical slide rail 206 is fixedly connected to a lifting and adjusting screw 213 on the opposite sides, and the lifting and adjusting screw 213 is threadedly matched with the transmission slider 207. The rotation of the lifting and adjusting screw 213 drives the transmission slider 207 to slide up and down. A second drive motor 214 is fixedly installed on one side of the vertical slide rail 206, and the output shaft of the second drive motor 214 is fixedly connected to the lifting and adjusting screw 213, and the second drive motor 214 is used to drive the lifting and adjusting screw 213 to rotate.

[0033] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: the second driving motor 214 is started to drive the lifting adjustment screw 213 to rotate, and the lifting adjustment screw 213 and the transmission slider 207 are matched with each other to drive the transmission slider 207 to move upward along the vertical slide rail 206, and the clamping and fixing component 1 is driven to move upward synchronously through the connection of the rotating support shaft 208, and the flip transmission column 202 moves upward synchronously with the transmission slider 207. When the flip transmission column 202 located at the top contacts the horizontal section of an L-shaped support plate, under the restriction of the L-shaped support plate, the flip transmission column 202 moves upward synchronously with the transmission slider 207. The transmission slider 207 continues to move upward, causing the transmission disc 203 to rotate and driving the rotating support shaft 208 to rotate synchronously. During this process, the limit handle 210 rotates synchronously, and under the elastic action of the reset spring 212 and the limiting action of the limit column 209, the limit handle 210 rotates 180°, causing the two flip transmission columns 202 to flip synchronously, and then the rotating support shaft 208 drives the clamping and fixing component 1 to rotate 180°, causing the lithium battery clamped by the clamping and fixing component 1 to flip 180° synchronously, so that the other end of the lithium battery faces upward.

[0034] The second driving motor 214 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the transmission slider 207 to slide downward, and the flip transmission column 202 moves downward synchronously with the transmission slider 207. When the flip transmission column 202 below contacts the inclined surface of the triangular adjustment block 205, the flip transmission column 202 squeezes the triangular adjustment block 205, so that the triangular adjustment block 205 drives the adjustment bracket 201 to move horizontally, so that the horizontal section of the other L-shaped support plate is located directly above the flip transmission column 202, which is convenient for the next flipping operation.
