[0049] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 10 A battery disc changing auxiliary device and a battery disc changing system according to some embodiments of the present application are described.

[0050] Embodiment 1

[0051] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a battery tray replacement auxiliary device, comprising: a placement component 1, a positioning component 2, a lifting mechanism 3, a horizontal movement mechanism 4, a flipping mechanism 5 and a clamping mechanism 6; wherein the placement component 1 is formed with at least one placement table, and the placement table is used to place a battery 9; any placement table is equipped with a positioning component 2, and the positioning component 2 is used to pre-position the battery 9 placed on the placement table;

[0052] The lifting mechanism 3 is connected to the placement component 1 and is used to drive the placement component 1 to rise and fall along a preset direction; the flipping mechanism 5 is respectively connected to the clamping mechanism 6 and the horizontal moving mechanism 4, and the horizontal moving mechanism 4 is used to drive the flipping mechanism 5 to drive the clamping mechanism 6 to move closer to or away from the placement component 1, the clamping mechanism 6 is used to clamp the battery 9 placed on the placement component 1, and the flipping mechanism 5 is used to drive the clamping mechanism 6 to flip the battery 9.

[0053] According to the structure described above, the battery tray replacement auxiliary device provided by the present application can be used to adjust the vertically placed battery 9 to be placed horizontally or to adjust the horizontally placed battery 9 to be placed vertically. The specific process is as follows:

[0054] (1) The process of using the device to adjust the vertically placed battery 9 to a horizontal position is as follows:

[0055] The manipulator (not shown in the figure) takes the vertically placed battery 9 out of a material frame (not shown in the figure), moves it to the top of the placement component 1, and then uses the horizontal moving mechanism 4 to drive the flipping mechanism 5 to drive the clamping mechanism 6 to approach the aforementioned battery 9. When it reaches the position where the battery 9 can be clamped, the clamping mechanism 6 is closed to clamp the battery 9, and then the flipping mechanism 5 is used to drive the clamping mechanism 6 to drive the battery 9 to flip to a horizontal position, and then the lifting mechanism 3 is used to drive the placement component 1 to abut against the lower surface of the battery 9, and then the clamping mechanism 6 is opened to place the battery 9 horizontally on the placement component 1, and then the lifting mechanism 3 is used to drive the placement component 1 to descend to the initial position, and finally the positioning component 2 is used to position the horizontally placed battery 9. After the positioning is completed, the positioning component 2 releases the battery 9, and then the manipulator is used to move the horizontally placed battery 9 to another material frame, thereby completing the disc replacement operation.

[0056] (2) The process of using the device to adjust the horizontally placed battery 9 to a vertical position is as follows:

[0057] The manipulator (not shown in the figure) takes the horizontally placed battery 9 out of a material frame (not shown in the figure) and places it on the placement component 1, and then uses the positioning component 2 to position the horizontally placed battery 9. After the positioning is completed, the positioning component 2 releases the battery 9, and then uses the lifting mechanism 3 to drive the placement component 1 to rise to a preset height, that is, a height that matches the clamping mechanism 6, and then uses the horizontal moving mechanism 4 to drive the flipping mechanism 5 to drive the clamping mechanism 6 to approach the battery 9. When it reaches a position where the battery 9 can be clamped, the clamping mechanism 6 is closed to clamp the battery 9, and then the lifting mechanism 3 is used to drive the placement component 1 to descend to the initial position, and then the flipping mechanism 5 is used to drive the clamping mechanism 6 to drive the battery 9 to flip to a vertical position, and then the manipulator moves the vertically placed battery 9 to another material frame, thereby completing the tray replacement operation.

[0058] It can be seen that the battery tray replacement auxiliary device provided by the present application can transfer the battery 9 in the side-placed material frame to the flat-placed material frame, and can also transfer the battery 9 in the flat-placed material frame to the side-placed material frame, thereby realizing mutual conversion of different postures, having greater compatibility with the battery 9, and being applicable to various models of soft-pack batteries 9, with higher working efficiency. In addition, the device has a simple structure, occupies a small area, and has low cost.

Both avoidance gaps serve to avoid the clamping mechanism 6 to avoid interference.

[0061] Further, preferably, the number of battery trays 12 is four and they are arranged in a square shape. Correspondingly, the number of flipping mechanisms 5 and clamping mechanisms 6 are both four and they correspond one-to-one to the four placement tables respectively.

[0062] According to the structure described above, batteries 9 can be placed on each of the four battery trays 12, and each battery tray 12 is equipped with a flipping mechanism 5, a clamping mechanism 6 and a positioning assembly 2, so that the four batteries 9 can be flipped and changed at the same time, which greatly improves work efficiency, and the four battery trays 12 can share a lifting mechanism 3, saving parts, reducing costs, and reducing occupied space.
