In the embodiment of the utility model, the turning device 100 includes: a first driving member 110 , a plurality of clamping assemblies 120 and a transmission assembly 130 .

[0035] The transmission assembly 130 includes a transmission rod 131 and a plurality of first transmission members 132. The transmission rod 131 is transmission-connected to the first driving member 110. One end of the plurality of first transmission members 132 is rotationally connected to the transmission rod 131, and the other end of the plurality of first transmission members 132 is connected to the corresponding rotating shaft 126 of the clamping assembly 120. The first driving member 110 can drive the transmission rod 131 to reciprocate along the first direction X, so that each first transmission member 132 rotates around the rotating shaft 126, and the rotating first transmission member 132 drives the clamping assembly 120 to rotate.

[0036] In the embodiment of the utility model, since one end of the multiple first transmission members 132 is rotatably connected to the transmission rod 131 and the other end is connected to the rotating shaft 126 of the clamping assembly 120, when the first driving member 110 drives the transmission rod 131 to reciprocate along the first direction X, the first transmission member 132 will be driven to repeatedly rotate around the rotating shaft 126 of the clamping assembly 120 within a certain angle range, thereby realizing the flipping of the clamping assembly 120. The battery cell clamped by the clamping assembly 120 can rotate with the clamping assembly 120, which is convenient for external processing equipment to process various surfaces of the battery cell.

[0037] The flipping device 100 of the embodiment of the utility model clamps multiple battery cells through multiple clamping components 120, and the rotating shaft 126 of each clamping component 120 is connected to the corresponding first transmission member 132, and each first transmission member 132 is connected to the transmission rod 131. When the driving member drives the transmission rod 131 to reciprocate along the first direction X, the transmission rod 131 drives each first transmission member 132 to rotate around the rotating shaft 126 of the corresponding clamping component 120, so that the rotating shaft 126 rotates together with the first transmission member 132 to drive the clamping component 120 to rotate, thereby realizing the flipping of the battery cells clamped by the multiple clamping components 120, thereby greatly improving the production efficiency.

[0038] In some embodiments, the clamping assembly 120 includes two clamping jaws 121, which are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart, and the clamping jaws 121 can reciprocate along the second direction Y, so that the two clamping jaws 121 are close to or away from each other. The first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y, the first direction X is the extension direction of the transmission rod 131, and the second direction Y is the axial direction of the rotating shaft 126.

[0039] In this embodiment, the two clamping claws 121 of the clamping assembly 120 can abut against the two ends of the battery cell, so that the battery cell is clamped in the clamping assembly 120. The distance between the two clamping claws 121 is adjustable. When the clamping assembly 120 needs to clamp the battery cell, by adjusting the distance between the two clamping claws 121, the clamping assembly 120 can be compatible with battery cells of different sizes, thereby improving the compatibility of the flip device 100 of this embodiment.

[0040] In some embodiments, the clamping assembly 120 also includes a fixed plate 122, a second driving member 123 and an adjusting member 124. The adjusting member 124 is rotatably disposed on the fixed plate 122, and the clamping jaws 121 are slidably disposed on the fixed plate 122. The outer peripheral surface of the adjusting member 124 is meshedly connected with the two clamping jaws 121, and the adjusting member 124 is transmission-connected with the second driving member 123; the second driving member 123 can drive the adjusting member 124 to rotate, so that the adjusting member 124 drives the two clamping jaws 121 to move closer to or away from each other.

[0041] In this embodiment, the adjusting member 124 is a gear. The second driving member 123 is coaxially connected with the adjusting member 124. Since the outer peripheral surface of the adjusting member 124 is meshed with the two clamping jaws 121, when the second driving member 123 drives the adjusting member 124 to rotate, the rotating adjusting member 124 will drive the two clamping jaws 121 to move closer or farther away, so as to adjust the distance between the two clamping jaws 121. Among them, the second driving member 123 is a driving motor.

[0042] In some embodiments, the jaw 121 includes a connecting portion 1211 that is meshed with the outer peripheral surface of the adjusting member 124, the adjusting member 124 is located between the connecting portions 1211 of the two jaws 121, the outer peripheral surface of the jaw 121 has a first tooth structure, and the surface of the connecting portion 1211 facing the adjusting member 124 has a second tooth structure matching the first tooth structure.

[0043] In this embodiment, the connection portion 1211 of the clamping jaw 121 extends toward the direction where the other clamping jaw 121 is located, so that the second tooth-like structure on the surface of the connection portion 1211 of one clamping jaw 121 is arranged opposite to the second tooth-like structure of the connection portion 1211 of the other clamping jaw 121, and the connection portions 1211 of the two clamping jaws 121 are respectively located on both sides of the adjusting member 124. The rotating adjusting member 124 can drive the two clamping jaws 121 to move closer or farther away by meshing with the connection portions 1211 on both sides.

[0044] In some embodiments, the clamping jaws 121 further include a clamping portion 1212 . The clamping portions 1212 of the two clamping jaws 121 are arranged opposite to each other. The two clamping portions 1212 can respectively abut against two ends of the battery cell, so that the battery cell is clamped in the clamping assembly 120 .

[0045] In this embodiment, the clamping portion 1212 of the clamping jaws 121 is configured to clamp the battery cell. When the two clamping jaws 121 are close to each other, both ends of the battery cell can abut against the clamping portion 1212 and be clamped by the clamping portion 1212, so that the battery cell is clamped in the clamping assembly 120 by the clamping portions 1212 of the two clamping jaws 121. When the battery cell needs to be removed, the two clamping jaws 121 are driven away from each other by the adjusting member 124, so that the battery cell can be detached from the clamping portion 1212.

[0046] In some embodiments, the clamping assembly 120 further includes a detection member 125 , which is disposed on the surface of the jaw 121 . The detection member 125 can detect the displacement of the jaw 121 and generate displacement information, and the detection member 125 can transmit the displacement information to the outside.

[0047] In this embodiment, the external device can control the second driving member 123 to drive the adjusting member 124 to rotate according to the size of the battery cell that the clamping assembly 120 needs to clamp, so that the two clamping jaws 121 of the clamping assembly 120 are close to or away from each other, and the distance between the two clamping jaws 121 is adjusted, so that the clamping assembly 120 can clamp the battery cell of the corresponding size. During the movement of the clamping jaws 121 of the clamping assembly 120, the displacement information generated by the detection member 125 can be sent to the external device, so that the external device can determine whether the clamping jaws 121 are adjusted in place according to the acquired displacement information. After the clamping jaws 121 are adjusted in place, the external device can control the second driving member 123 to stop driving, so that the adjusting member 124 stops rotating.

[0048] In some embodiments, the transmission assembly 130 further includes a second transmission member 133 , one end of the second transmission member 133 is connected to the transmission rod 131 , and the other end of the second transmission member 133 is telescopically connected to the first driving member 110 .

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the transmission rod 131 has a connecting end 1311 extending to the second transmission member 133, one end of the second transmission member 133 is connected to the telescopic end of the first driving member 110, and the other end is rotatably connected to the connecting end 1311 of the transmission rod 131. The telescopic end of the first driving member 110 can move telescopically, and the transmission rod 131 is driven to reciprocate along the first direction X through the second transmission member 133.

[0050] In some embodiments, the transmission assembly 130 also includes two limit members 134, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the transmission rod 131 and spaced apart from the transmission rod 131; when the transmission rod 131 reciprocates along the first direction X, one end of the transmission rod 131 can abut against the limit member 134.

[0051] In this embodiment, after the transmission rod 131 moves a certain distance along the first direction X, one end of the transmission rod 131 abuts against the stopper 134, and the transmission rod 131 stops moving along the first direction X. The clamping assembly 120 rotates to the right position and stops rotating accordingly. By providing the stopper 134, it is possible to avoid the situation where the clamping assembly 120 cannot flip the battery cell to a suitable angle due to the first driving member 110 driving the transmission rod 131 to reciprocate too much.

[0052] In some embodiments, the transmission assembly 130 further includes a buffer 135 , which is disposed on a surface of the limit member 134 facing the transmission rod 131 . When the transmission rod 131 reciprocates along the first direction X, one end of the transmission rod 131 can abut against the buffer 135 .

[0053] In this embodiment, when one end of the transmission rod 131 abuts against the buffer 135, the buffer 135 is gradually compressed by the transmission rod 131, and the buffer 135 can gradually release the force applied by the transmission rod 131 to avoid direct collision between the transmission rod 131 and the stopper 134, resulting in damage to the device. The buffer 135 can be a hydraulic buffer, a pneumatic buffer, a spring buffer, etc.

[0054] Furthermore, the buffer member 135 is also provided with a pressure sensor, which can detect the force applied by the transmission rod 131 to the buffer member 135 and generate pressure information. The pressure sensor can send the pressure information to the outside, so that the external device can control the extension and contraction amplitude and extension and contraction frequency of the first driving member 110 according to the pressure information to adjust the amplitude and frequency of the reciprocating motion of the transmission rod 131 along the first direction X.

[0055] In some embodiments, the flipping device 100 also includes a mounting frame 140 and at least two oppositely arranged mounting plates 150, the mounting plates 150 are arranged on the mounting frame 140, the rotating shafts 126 at both ends of the clamping assembly 120 are rotatably arranged on the mounting plates 150, and the transmission assembly 130 and the first driving member 110 are arranged on the side of one of the mounting plates 150 away from the clamping assembly 120.

[0056] In this embodiment, the first driving member 110 is a cylinder. One end of the first driving member 110 is rotatably disposed on the surface of the mounting plate 150 , and the telescopic end of the first driving member 110 is connected to the second transmission member 133 , and one end of the second transmission member 133 is rotatably connected to the transmission rod 131 .

[0057] Since one end of each first transmission member 132 is connected to the rotating shaft 126 of the clamping assembly 120, during the reciprocating motion of the transmission rod 131 along the first direction X, the first transmission member 132 will repeatedly rotate around the rotating shaft 126, so that the transmission rod 131 will move up and down while reciprocating. The second transmission member 133 is rotatably connected to the transmission rod 131 and one end of the first drive member 110 is rotatably set on the surface of the mounting plate 150, so that the second transmission member 133 and the first drive member 110 can eliminate the up and down shaking of the transmission rod 131 perpendicular to the first direction X during the reciprocating motion, thereby avoiding damage to the device.

[0058] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
