[0041] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 This application is described in further detail.

[0042] The embodiment of the present application discloses a blade battery flipping and moving mechanism.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 A blade battery flipping and moving mechanism includes a mounting frame 1, a telescopic cylinder 2, a suction frame 3 and a flipping cylinder 4. The telescopic cylinder 2 is vertically mounted on the mounting frame 1. The suction frame 3 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 2, and a rotating rod 31 is rotatably connected inside the adsorption frame 3, a suction cup 32 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 31, and a connecting rod 33 is also fixedly connected to the rotating rod 31. One end of the flipping cylinder 4 is mounted on the adsorption frame 3, and the other end is hinged to the connecting rod 33. When the flipping cylinder 4 is extended or retracted, the rotating rod 31 is driven to rotate. The rotating rod 31 is driven by the flipping cylinder 4 and the connecting rod 33 to flip the battery adsorbed on the suction cup 32, thereby replacing the motor drive, making it less likely to generate electrical sparks during the battery flipping process, and thus making the battery flipping process safer.

[0044] The mounting frame 1 includes a supporting frame 11 and a flip frame 12. The supporting frame 11 is used to be supported on the ground, and one end of the supporting frame 11 is located on a station where the battery is placed horizontally, and the other end is located on a station where the battery is placed vertically. The flip frame 12 is slidably connected to the supporting frame 11, and the telescopic cylinder 2 is installed on the flip frame 12. In this embodiment, four telescopic cylinders 2 are provided, and in other embodiments, 1, 2, 3, or 5 are provided according to design requirements. Four telescopic cylinders 2 can be used to simultaneously drive four adsorption frames 3 to move simultaneously, thereby performing synchronous operation on four batteries.

[0045] The support frame 11 is provided with a driving assembly 5, which is used to drive the flip frame 12 to move along the length direction of the support frame 11. The driving assembly 5 drives the flip frame 12 to move on the support frame 11, so that the suction cup 32 can transfer the battery placed horizontally at one station to another station for vertical placement.

[0046] The driving assembly 5 in this embodiment includes a driving wheel 51, a driven wheel 52, a transmission belt 53 and a driving member 54. In other embodiments, the cooperation of transmission teeth and transmission chains can also be adopted. The driving wheel 51 and the driven wheel 52 are respectively fixedly connected to the top of the two ends of the support frame 11, and the axes of the driving wheel 51 and the driven wheel 52 are parallel. The transmission belt 53 is sleeved on the driving wheel 51 and the driven wheel 52, and the top of the flip frame 12 is fixedly connected to the transmission belt 53. The driving member 54 is fixedly connected to the support frame 11. The driving member 54 is a driving motor, and the output shaft of the driving motor is coaxially fixedly connected to the driving wheel 51.

[0047] The driving wheel 51 is driven to rotate by the driving member 54, and the rotation of the driving wheel 51 drives the transmission belt 53 to move. The movement of the transmission belt 53 drives the flip frame 12 to move. The movement of the flip frame 12 is controlled by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the driving member 54, so that the battery placed horizontally at one station can be transferred to another station for vertical placement.

[0048] The top of the support frame 11 is fixedly connected to a limit rod 6 along the length direction of the transmission belt 53. In this embodiment, two limit rods 6 are provided, and the two limit rods 6 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the transmission belt 53. Two limit rings 13 are fixedly connected to the flip frame 12, and the limit rings 13 are sleeved on the limit rods 6 in a one-to-one correspondence. By using the cooperation between the limit rods 6 and the limit rings 13, the limit rods 6 guide the movement of the flip frame 12, and at the same time, by using two symmetrically arranged limit rods 6, the flip frame 12 is subjected to more stable force during the movement process.

[0049] The flip frame 12 includes a fixed plate 121 and a sliding plate 122. A sliding wheel 123 is installed at the bottom of the fixed plate 121, and the sliding wheel 123 abuts against the support frame 11. The setting of the sliding wheel 123 reduces the friction between the fixed plate 121 and the support frame 11, so that the movement of the fixed plate 121 relative to the support frame 11 is smoother.

[0050] A guide rail 124 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 121, a guide block 125 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 122, the guide block 125 is slidably connected to the guide rail 124, the sliding plate 122 uses the cooperation of the guide rail 124 and the guide block 125 to control the sliding direction of the sliding plate 122 and the fixed plate 121, and is slidably connected to the fixed plate 121, the telescopic cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 122, and a yielding cylinder 126 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 121, the telescopic rod of the yielding cylinder 126 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 122, and the telescopic direction of the yielding cylinder 126 is consistent with the length direction of the guide rail 124.

[0051] The yielding cylinder 126 is used to drive the fixed plate 121 and the sliding plate 122 to move relative to each other, thereby controlling the movement of the telescopic cylinder 2 on the sliding plate 122, and further controlling the suction cup 32 on the adsorption frame 3 to move away from or close to the battery, so that when the suction cup 32 is close to the battery, it is convenient to adsorb the battery, and when the suction cup 32 is away from the battery, it is convenient to separate from the battery.

[0052] A guide block 127 is fixedly connected to the adsorption frame 3, and two guide holes 128 are provided on the guide block 127. Two guide rods 36 are vertically fixedly connected to the adsorption frame 3. The two guide rods 36 are symmetrically arranged about the telescopic cylinder 2, and the guide rods 36 are correspondingly arranged in the guide holes 128. The movement path of the adsorption frame 3 is limited by the cooperation of the guide block 127 and the guide rod 36, so that the telescopic cylinder 2 can stably drive the adsorption frame 3 to move.

[0053] The adsorption rack 3 is fixedly connected with a mounting column 34, and a hinge seat 35 is fixedly connected with the mounting column 34. The flip cylinder 4 is tilted, and one end of the flip cylinder 4 away from the connecting rod 33 is hinged to the hinge seat 35. The tilted flip cylinder 4 is installed by using the mounting column 34 and the hinge seat 35, and the tilted flip cylinder 4 is used to better rotate the rotating rod 31 by 90 degrees, so that it is more convenient to rotate the horizontally placed battery to a vertical state.

[0054] In this embodiment, three suction cups 32 are fixedly connected to the rotating rod 31, and the suction ends of the three suction cups 32 are coplanar and non-colinear. The three non-colinear suction cups 32 can adsorb the battery more firmly, so that the battery adsorbed by the suction cups 32 is not easy to fall off during the rotation of the rotating rod 31.

[0055] The implementation principle of a blade battery flipping and moving mechanism in the embodiment of the present application is:

[0056] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving member 54 is used to drive the suction cup 32 on the flip frame 12 to move to the horizontal battery position, and the telescopic cylinder 2 is used to drive the adsorption frame 3 to move downward, so that the suction cup 32 on the adsorption frame 3 abuts against the horizontal battery, and the suction cup 32 adsorbs the battery. Then, the telescopic cylinder 2 is driven to move upward, and after the battery is separated from the receiving platform, the driving member 54 is used again to drive the flip frame 12 to move toward the horizontal vertical battery position.

[0057] During the movement of the flip frame 12, the flip cylinder 4 is driven to move, and the movement of the flip cylinder 4 drives the connecting rod 33 to move and rotate. The rotation of the connecting rod 33 drives the rotating rod 31 and the suction cup 32 to rotate, thereby rotating the battery adsorbed on the suction cup 32 from a horizontal state to a vertical state.

[0058] The rotating rod 31 is rotated by the driving of the flip cylinder 4 and the connecting rod 33 to flip the battery adsorbed on the suction cup 32, thereby replacing the motor drive, making it difficult to generate electrical sparks during the battery flipping process, and thus making the battery flipping process safer.

[0059] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
