The hook installation member 1440 may be an installation structure provided on both sides of the support member 1460 and capable of providing an installation position for the hook limiter 1420. The support member 1460 may be a support structure provided with a support and limit hole and capable of supporting and bearing the hook installation member 1440 and the vertical auxiliary limiter 1480. The vertical auxiliary limit member 1480 can be a matching member that is vertically arranged on one side of the supporting member 1460 close to the jacking limit assembly 220 and surrounds the supporting limit hole, and can be inserted into the jacking limit assembly 220 to assist in constraining the relative position of the supporting limit assembly 140 and the jacking limit assembly 220 in the vertical direction.

[0033] Optionally, the lifting limit assembly 220 includes a female buckle limiter 2220, a lifting bearing 2240 and a vertical lifting limiter 2260. The female buckle limiter 2220 may be a female buckle structure provided on the lifting bearing 2240, and can be close to and fastened to the hook limiter 1420 in the supporting limit assembly 140 under the action of the lifting drive assembly 240. The lifting bearing 2240 may be a receiving structure capable of supporting and receiving the female buckle limiter 2220 and the vertical lifting limiter 2260. The vertical lifting limiter 2260 may be a matching piece vertically provided on the lifting bearing 2240, and can be plugged into the vertical auxiliary limiter 1480 in the supporting limiter assembly under the action of the lifting drive assembly 240 to assist in constraining the relative positions of the supporting limit assembly 140 and the lifting limit assembly 220 in the vertical direction.

[0034] Optionally, the hook limit member 1420 is provided with a limiting protrusion, and the female buckle limit member 2220 is provided with a limiting groove, and the limiting groove can be fastened to the limiting protrusion to achieve the fastening state of the hook limit member 1420 and the female buckle limit member 2220, thereby increasing the position constraint effect of the supporting limit assembly 140 and the lifting limit assembly 220 in the vertical direction, and thereby ensuring the synchronization of the movement of the supporting mechanism 10 and the lifting mechanism 20 in the vertical direction.

[0035] Optionally, the number of the hook limiter 1420 and the female limiter 2220 is multiple, any hook limiter 1420 is spaced apart on both sides of the supporting member 1460, any female limiter 2220 is spaced apart on both sides of the lifting support member 2240, the supporting member 1460 and the lifting support member 2240 are arranged in parallel, the size of the lifting support member 2240 is smaller than the size of the supporting member 1460, and the geometric center line of any hook limiter 1420 is perpendicular to any female limiter 2 The geometric center line of 220 is arranged in parallel between any hook limiter 1420 or the female buckle limiter 2220. By using multiple hook limiters 1420 and the female buckle limiter 2220 at the same time and limiting the position relationship between the hook limiter 1420 and the female buckle limiter 2220, the position constraint effect of the supporting member 1460 and the lifting supporting member 2240 in the vertical direction at different positions of the contact surface is improved, and the fastening stability of the supporting limit assembly 140 and the lifting limit assembly 220 is enhanced.

[0036] Optionally, the lifting supporting member 2240 is provided with a buffer rubber pad, which can abut against the side of the supporting limit hole of the supporting member 1460, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the contact between the supporting member 1460 in the supporting limit assembly 140 and the lifting supporting member 2240 in the lifting limit assembly 220, improving the problem of excess vibration caused by instantaneous rigid contact between the two, and thereby enhancing the fastening stability of the supporting limit assembly 140 and the lifting limit assembly 220.

[0037] Optionally, there are multiple vertical auxiliary limit members 1480 and vertical lifting limit members 2260, and any vertical auxiliary limit member 1480 is arranged at intervals on the supporting member 1460. Any vertical auxiliary limit member 1480 can be plugged into any vertical lifting limit member 2260. By using multiple vertical auxiliary limit members 1480 and vertical lifting limit members 2260 at the same time and distributing them at intervals from each other, the position constraint effect of the supporting member 1460 and the lifting supporting member 2240 in the vertical direction at different positions of the contact surface is further improved.

[0038] Optionally, the hook limiter 1420 may be a T-hook. The hook mounting member 1440 may be a hook mounting seat. The supporting member 1460 may be a clamping supporting base plate. The vertical auxiliary limiter 1480 may be a pin sleeve. The female buckle limiter 2220 may be a ball female buckle. The lifting support member 2240 may be a lifting support plate. The vertical lifting limiter 2260 may be a pin.

[0039] When the battery cell after the top cover welding is completed is taken out, the lifting driving assembly 240 (such as an electric cylinder) drives the lifting bearing member 2240 (such as a lifting bearing plate) in the lifting limiting assembly 220 to move in the vertical direction, and firstly the vertical lifting limiting member 2260 (such as a pin) arranged on the lifting bearing member 2240 (such as a lifting bearing plate) and the vertical auxiliary limiting member 1460 (such as a clamping supporting bottom plate) arranged on the supporting member 1460 (such as a clamping supporting bottom plate) are moved. 480 (such as a pin sleeve) cooperates for positioning. Since the vertical lifting limit member 2260 (such as a pin) and the vertical auxiliary limit member 1480 (such as a pin sleeve) are both conical structures and there is a gap between the two, and the lifting supporting member 2240 (such as a lifting supporting plate) and the supporting member 1460 (such as a clamping supporting bottom plate) have different areas, after the jacking is in place, the supporting member 1460 (such as a clamping supporting bottom plate) is suspended in the air for a long time and there is a risk of excess shaking.

[0040] At the same time, the female buckle limiter 2220 (such as a ball-type female buckle) in the jacking limiter assembly 220 is fastened to the hook limiter 1420 (T-shaped hook) in the supporting limiter assembly 140 under the action of the jacking drive assembly 240, and the jacking limiter assembly 220 and the supporting limiter assembly 140 become in a fastened state. Since the fastening effect between the female buckle limiter 2220 and the hook limiter 1420 is much smaller than the separation effect, it can ensure that the female buckle limiter 2220 and the hook limiter 1420 are fastened smoothly, effectively improving the jacking caused by The problem of shaking and tipping of the receiving member 2240 and the supporting member 1460 can effectively avoid damage to the mechanism and equipment failure caused by the tipping of the clamping assembly 120 (such as a lifting clamp) in the supporting mechanism 10, and also reduce the safety hazards to the production of battery cells; in addition, the workpiece shifting device has the advantages of simple structure, space saving and low cost, and solves the problem of the supporting mechanism 10 being suspended more in the air due to the small contact area between the lifting receiving member 2240 (such as a lifting receiving plate) and the supporting member 1460 (such as a clamping supporting bottom plate), resulting in tilting and tipping.

[0041] The workpiece shifting device provided in the present embodiment can, when taking out the battery cell after the top cover welding is completed, the clamping assembly 120 in the supporting mechanism 10 can clamp the battery cell and be set on the supporting limit assembly 140, and the jacking drive assembly 240 in the jacking mechanism 20 can drive the jacking limit assembly 220 to be fastened to the supporting limit assembly 140, so as to realize the relative position constraint between the supporting limit assembly 140 and the jacking limit assembly 220. Compared with the matching relationship between the traditional pin and the pin sleeve, the position constraint effect of the supporting limit assembly 140 and the jacking limit assembly 220 in the vertical direction is effectively increased, thereby ensuring the synchronization of the movement of the supporting mechanism 10 and the jacking mechanism 20 in the vertical direction, improving the problem of the supporting mechanism 10 hanging more in the air due to the small contact surface between the supporting mechanism 10 and the jacking mechanism 20, and meeting the higher requirements for the battery cell production efficiency while improving the stability of the battery cell taking out.

[0042] The present application also provides a processing equipment, which includes the workpiece shifting device in the above-mentioned embodiment; the processing equipment also includes a large equipment plate, a fixture auxiliary driving device and a fixture translational carrying device, the workpiece shifting device and the fixture translational carrying device are arranged on the large equipment plate, the fixture auxiliary driving device is arranged on the fixture translational carrying device, and the fixture auxiliary driving device can fine-tune the clamping state of the battery cell.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, when the battery cell is taken out after the top cover welding is completed, the clamping assembly 120 in the supporting mechanism 10 can clamp the battery cell and be set on the supporting limit assembly 140, and the jacking drive assembly 240 in the jacking mechanism 20 can drive the jacking limit assembly 220 to be fastened to the supporting limit assembly 140, so as to realize the relative position constraint between the supporting limit assembly 140 and the jacking limit assembly 220; then the jacking drive assembly 240 in the jacking mechanism 20 drives the battery cell in the clamped state to the fixture translation bearing device, and fine-tunes the clamping state of the battery cell under the driving action of the fixture auxiliary drive device.

[0044] The division of the various modules in the above-mentioned workpiece shifting device is only for illustration. In other embodiments, the workpiece shifting device can be divided into different modules as needed to complete all or part of the functions of the above-mentioned workpiece shifting device.

[0045] The workpiece shifting device and processing equipment provided in the above-mentioned embodiments can, when taking out the battery cell after the top cover welding is completed, the clamping assembly in the supporting mechanism can clamp the battery cell and be set on the supporting limit assembly, and the jacking drive assembly in the jacking mechanism can drive the jacking limit assembly to buckle onto the supporting limit assembly, so as to realize the relative position constraint between the supporting limit assembly and the jacking limit assembly. Compared with the matching relationship between the traditional pin and the pin sleeve, the position constraint effect of the supporting limit assembly and the jacking limit assembly in the vertical direction is effectively increased, thereby ensuring the synchronization of the movement of the supporting mechanism and the jacking mechanism in the vertical direction, improving the problem of the supporting mechanism being suspended more due to the small contact surface between the supporting mechanism and the jacking mechanism, resulting in tilting and overturning, while improving the stability of the battery cell taking out during the battery cell production process, thereby meeting the higher requirements for the battery cell production efficiency, and having important economic value and promotion and practical value.
