DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] In order to clearly illustrate the technical features of this patent, this patent is elaborated in detail below through a specific implementation method and in combination with its accompanying drawings.

[0018] This case Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes a basic frame 1, a lifting longitudinal beam 2, a servo flipping assembly 3 and a docking clamping assembly 4. The lifting longitudinal beam 2 can be lifted and installed on the basic frame 1. The docking clamping assembly 4 includes a clamping claw pad 41 and a pad mounting seat 42. The pad mounting seat 42 can be rotatably installed on the lifting longitudinal beam 2 through the servo flipping assembly 3. The clamping claw pad 41 can be slidably installed on the pad mounting seat 42, and a linear power source is also provided between the two, which drives the clamping claw pad 41 to reciprocate.

[0019] In order to ensure the stability of the structure, in this case, a pair of lifting longitudinal beams 2 are installed on the front and rear sides of the basic frame 1, and the pair of lifting longitudinal beams 2 remain parallel and rise and fall synchronously; the docking clamping components 4 are also arranged in pairs, and the pad mounting seats 42 are rotatably connected with the pair of lifting longitudinal beams 2 on the front and rear sides thereof, and the pad mounting seats 42 in a pair of docking clamping components 4 rotate independently driven by two sets of servo flipping components 3; the rotation centers of the two pad mounting seats 42 in a pair of docking clamping components 4 are coaxially arranged, and the linear reciprocating motion direction of the clamping claw pad 41 is perpendicular to the rotation center.

[0020] In this way, when the vertically placed battery cell module is grabbed and transported by the robot, the two pad mounting seats 42 in a pair of docking clamping assemblies 4 can be controlled to rotate to a state of 90° to each other, such as Figure 5 As shown, one of the clamping claw pads 41 is placed directly below the battery cell module to receive the battery cell module. After the battery cell module is placed, the clamping claw pad 41 that is not in contact with the battery cell module can be controlled to rotate to directly above the battery cell module, and then the linear power source is used to control the linear motion of the clamping claw pad 41 to clamp the battery cell module, and by maintaining the clamped state, the individual batteries in the battery cell module are aligned. Thereafter, the two pad mounting seats 42 are rotated 90° at the same time, thereby driving the battery cell module to flip from a vertical state to a flat state, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 Finally, the pair of lifting longitudinal beams 2 descend synchronously, and the clamping claw pad 41 releases the clamping of the battery cell module, so that the battery cell module can fall onto the conveyor belt or AGV trolley below for subsequent use.

[0021] Furthermore, the present invention is provided with two pairs of lifting longitudinal beams 2 and two pairs of docking clamping assemblies 4. Thus, two rows of battery cell modules can be received at the same time and a 90° turn can be completed.

[0022] Regarding the lifting and lowering of the lifting longitudinal beam 2, Figure 2 As shown: the base frame 1 is fixedly connected with a lifting cylinder 11 and a vertical guide rail 12 corresponding to the lifting longitudinal beam 2. The lifting longitudinal beam 2 is slidably mounted on the vertical guide rail 12. The lifting cylinder 11 is vertically arranged. The cylinder body of the lifting cylinder 11 is fixedly mounted in the base frame 1, and its cylinder rod is fixedly connected to the lifting longitudinal beam 2 (not shown in the figure). Thus, the lifting longitudinal beam 2 is driven to move up and down by the lifting cylinder 11.

[0023] Regarding the rotation of the backing plate mounting seat 42, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 , 4 As shown: the pad mounting seat 42 includes a front mounting seat 421 and a rear mounting seat 422, and the front mounting seat 421 and the rear mounting seat 422 are respectively rotatably connected to a pair of lifting longitudinal beams 2 on the front and rear sides, and the two are kept in synchronous rotation through the clamping claw pad 41, and the output of the servo flip assembly 3 is connected to one of the front mounting seat 421 or the rear mounting seat 422.

[0024] The servo flip assembly 3 includes a servo motor 31 , a reducer 32 and a coupling 33 which are connected in sequence. The output shaft of the servo motor 31 is connected to one of the front mounting seat 421 or the rear mounting seat 422 via the reducer 32 and the coupling 33 .

[0025] In order to ensure that the rotation centers of the two pad mounting seats 42 in a pair of docking clamping assemblies 4 are coaxial, the front mounting seat 421 and the rear mounting seat 422 in one pad mounting seat 42 are located on the inner side of the front mounting seat 421 and the rear mounting seat 422 in the other pad mounting seat 42, and the two rotating power sources in a pair of docking clamping assemblies 4 are respectively installed on a pair of lifting longitudinal beams 2 on the front and rear sides.

[0026] In this way, the two servo flipping components 3 can independently drive the two pad mounting seats 42 to rotate, thereby driving the clamping claw pad 41 to perform a reciprocating swinging motion.

[0027] Regarding the linear motion of the clamping claw backing plate 41, Figure 4As shown: radial guide rails are provided on the front mounting seat 421 and the rear mounting seat 422, and the two ends of the clamping jaw pad 41 can be slidably mounted on the radial guide rails on the front mounting seat 421 and the rear mounting seat 422 respectively, and the linear power source includes two radial cylinders 411, the cylinder bodies of the two radial cylinders 411 are fixedly mounted on the two ends of the clamping jaw pad 41 respectively, and the cylinder rods of the two radial cylinders 411 are fixedly connected to the front mounting seat 421 and the rear mounting seat 422 respectively.

[0028] In this way, through the synchronous action of the two radial cylinders 411, the clamping claw plate 41 can be driven to reciprocate linearly, so that the two clamping claw plates 41 in a pair of docking clamping assemblies 4 can cooperate with each other to clamp or release the battery module.

[0029] There are many specific implementation ways of the present invention. The above is only the preferred implementation mode of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
