[0002] Energy conservation and emission reduction are the keys to the sustainable development of the automotive industry. Electric vehicles have become an important part of the sustainable development of the automotive industry due to their advantages of energy conservation and environmental protection. For electric vehicles, battery technology is an important factor related to their development.

[0003] In the development of battery technology, how to reduce the operation risks in the battery manufacturing process is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in battery technology. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The present application provides a flipping device and a battery manufacturing system. The technical solution provided by the present application can effectively reduce the operation risks in the battery manufacturing process and improve the operation efficiency.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a flipping device, including a flipping frame and a driving component. The flipping frame is used to support an assembly. The driving component is connected to the flipping frame and is used to drive the flipping frame to rotate around a rotation axis to switch from a first position to a second position, and to turn the assembly from a horizontal posture to a vertical posture. When the flipping frame is in the first position, the assembly is transported to the flipping frame in a horizontal posture on one side of the rotation axis. When the flipping frame is in the second position, the assembly leaves the flipping frame in a vertical posture on the other side of the rotation axis.

[0006] In the above solution, by setting the flipping device, the assembly can be assembled horizontally on the ground and transported from one side of the flipping frame to the flipping frame. The flipping frame is driven by the driving component to flip from the first position to the second position, thereby driving the assembly to flip to a vertical posture, and the assembly in the vertical posture can leave from the other side of the flipping frame. Compared with the current solution of assembling the assembly by working at heights, on the one hand, it can reduce the operation risks caused by working at heights and improve the assembly efficiency; on the other hand, it can centralize the assembly stations, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the assembly and the delivery efficiency of the assembly. Exemplarily, the assembly is a shelf, and the shelf is used to place batteries. By using the flipping device provided by the above solution, the shelf can be quickly assembled on the ground and flipped to a vertical posture, so the delivery efficiency of the shelf is high. In the battery manufacturing process, due to the high delivery efficiency of the shelf, it is beneficial to improve the battery manufacturing efficiency.

[0007] According to some embodiments of the present application, the flip frame includes a first bracket and a first limit portion, the first bracket is used to support the assembly. Along the first direction, one end of the first bracket is connected to the first limit portion, and the first limit portion protrudes from the first bracket along the second direction, and the first limit portion is used to abut the assembly. The rotation axis is limited to be parallel to the third direction, and the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0008] In the above scheme, by providing the first bracket and the first limiting portion, the assembly can be supported by the first limiting portion during the flipping process of the flip frame, with the first limiting portion as the fulcrum, and pushed by the first bracket to flip along with the flip frame, thereby stably flipping from a horizontal posture to a vertical posture, reducing the risk of the assembly being detached from the flip frame and damaged during the flipping process, thereby improving the delivery efficiency of the assembly.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present application, the flip frame also includes a limit member, which is arranged at the end of the first limit portion away from the first bracket along the second direction, and protrudes from the first limit portion toward the other end of the first bracket along the first direction, and the limit member is used to abut the assembly member.

[0010] In the above scheme, by setting a limit member, the assembly can be stably located between the first bracket and the limit member. On the one hand, when the flip frame is in the first position, the limit member can abut against the assembly, reducing the risk of the assembly tipping over and backward along the first direction and toward the side away from the limit member. On the other hand, when the flip frame is in the second position, the limit member can abut against the assembly, reducing the risk of the flip frame tipping over and away from the first bracket and being damaged, thereby effectively reducing the operational risk and improving the delivery efficiency of the assembly.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the present application, the flip frame also includes two second limiting portions, which are respectively arranged at opposite ends of the first bracket along the third direction, and the second limiting portions protrude from the first bracket along the second direction. The two second limiting portions are used to limit the movement of the assembly in the third direction.

[0012] In the above scheme, by providing two second limiting portions, the assembly can be effectively limited in the third direction, reducing the risk of the assembly moving along the third direction and detaching from the flip frame, causing damage to the assembly, thereby effectively reducing operational risks and improving the delivery efficiency of the assembly.

[0013] According to some embodiments of the present application, the flip frame further includes a second bracket, which is connected to the other end of the first bracket along the first direction, and the second bracket is used to support the assembly.

[0014] In the above solution, by setting the second support, the contact area between the turnover frame and the assembly can be increased, so that the turnover frame can stably support the assembly, thereby reducing the risk of the assembly being damaged due to detaching from the turnover frame, and further effectively reducing the operation risk and improving the delivery efficiency of the assembly.

[0015] According to some embodiments of the present application, the turnover frame further includes rolling members, and along the first direction, a plurality of rolling members are arranged at intervals on the first support and the second support.

[0016] In the above solution, the rolling members can be in rolling contact with the assembly. By setting the rolling members, the efficiency of transporting the assembly from one side of the rotation axis to the turnover frame in a horizontal posture can be improved, thereby improving the delivery efficiency of the assembly.

[0017] According to some embodiments of the present application, the second support includes a first sub-support and a second sub-support. The first sub-support and the second sub-support are respectively connected to the first support and arranged at intervals along the third direction.

[0018] In the above solution, the first sub-support and the second sub-support are arranged at intervals along the third direction. On the one hand, it can provide stable support for the assembly, and on the other hand, it can reduce the material cost and overall quality of the second support, and can effectively reduce the manufacturing cost and operation energy consumption of the turnover device.

[0019] According to some embodiments of the present application, the turnover frame further includes two third limiting parts, and the two third limiting parts are respectively arranged at opposite ends of the second support along the third direction, and the third limiting part protrudes from the second support along the second direction. The two third limiting parts are used to limit the movement of the assembly in the third direction.

[0020] In the above solution, by setting two third limiting parts, the assembly can be effectively limited in the third direction, and the risk of the assembly being damaged due to moving along the third direction and detaching from the turnover frame can be reduced, thereby effectively reducing the operation risk and improving the delivery efficiency of the assembly.

[0021] According to some embodiments of the present application, the turnover device further includes a clamping mechanism. Along the second direction, the clamping mechanism is arranged on the surface of the third limiting part away from the second support, and the clamping mechanism is used to lock the assembly to the turnover frame.

[0022] In the above solution, by setting the clamping mechanism, the assembly can be locked to the turnover frame, the risk of the assembly being damaged due to detaching from the turnover frame can be reduced, and the delivery efficiency of the assembly is improved.

[0023] According to some embodiments of the present application, the clamping mechanism includes a driving part and a clamping member. The driving part is arranged on the third limiting part. The driving part is connected to the clamping member and is used to drive the clamping member to rotate so that the clamping member is arranged opposite to the second bracket in the second direction to lock the assembled component to the turnover frame.

[0024] In the above solution, the driving part drives the clamping member to rotate to be opposite to the second bracket, so that the assembled component can be clamped between the second bracket and the clamping member to realize the locking of the assembled component, thereby effectively reducing the risk that the assembled component detaches from the turnover frame and causing damage to the assembled component, and improving the delivery efficiency of the assembled component.

[0025] According to some embodiments of the present application, the driving part includes a base, a rotating shaft and a wrench. The base is arranged on the third limiting part. The rotating shaft is rotatably arranged on the base and is connected to the clamping member. The wrench is connected to the rotating shaft and is used to drive the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0026] In the above solution, the structure of the driving part is simple and convenient for manufacturing. By pulling the wrench, the clamping member can be driven to rotate through the rotating shaft, so as to realize the locking or unlocking of the assembled component, so that the assembled component can be stably switched from the horizontal posture to the vertical posture, effectively reducing the operation risk of the assembled component and improving the delivery efficiency of the assembled component.

[0027] According to some embodiments of the present application, the wrench is provided with a rope.

[0028] In the above solution, when the turnover frame is turned to the second position, the staff can pull the wrench through the rope at a low altitude position or on the ground to unlock the assembled component, thereby reducing the risk of working at high altitude and improving the delivery efficiency of the assembled component.

[0029] According to some embodiments of the present application, the turnover frame further includes a guide roller. Along the third direction, the guide roller is arranged on the surface of one of the third limiting parts facing the other third limiting part.

[0030] In the above solution, by arranging the guide roller, the assembled component can be guided into the turnover frame, and the efficiency of transferring the assembled component from one side of the rotation axis to the turnover frame in a horizontal posture is improved, thereby improving the delivery efficiency of the assembled component.

[0031] According to some embodiments of the present application, the driving assembly includes a fixed seat and a linear driving member. Along the first direction, one end of the fixed seat is hinged to the turnover frame, the other end of the fixed seat is hinged to the linear driving member, and the execution end of the linear driving member is hinged to the turnover frame, and the defined rotation axis is parallel to the third direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the third direction.

[0032] In the above solution, the driving component has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture. By pushing or pulling back the flipping frame with a linear driving member, the flipping frame can be effectively flipped, enabling the assembly to stably switch from a horizontal posture to a vertical posture, effectively reducing the operation risk of the assembly, and improving the delivery efficiency of the assembly.

[0033] According to some embodiments of the present application, the fixed seat includes two sub-fixed seats. Along the third direction, the two sub-fixed seats are spaced apart. The number of linear driving members is two and corresponds to the sub-fixed seats. Along the first direction, one end of each sub-fixed seat is hinged to the flipping frame, and the other end is hinged to the corresponding linear driving member.

[0034] In the above solution, by providing two sub-fixed seats and linear driving members, the flipping frame can be stably flipped relative to the fixed seat, enabling the assembly to stably switch from a horizontal posture to a vertical posture, effectively reducing the operation risk of the assembly, and improving the delivery efficiency of the assembly.

[0035] In a second aspect, the present application further provides a battery manufacturing system. The battery manufacturing system includes the flipping device provided in the first aspect. The flipping device is used to flip the goods shelf from a horizontal posture to a vertical posture, and the goods shelf is used to place batteries.

[0036] In the above solution, the flipping device is applied to the battery manufacturing system and is used to flip the goods shelf in a horizontal posture to a vertical posture. The goods shelf can be quickly assembled on the ground. Through the operation of the flipping device, the goods shelf in a horizontal posture can be flipped to a vertical posture. Compared with the current solution where the goods shelf is assembled by climbing to a height, on the one hand, it can reduce the operation risk caused by working at heights and improve the assembly efficiency; on the other hand, it can centralize the assembly station, facilitate the improvement of the goods shelf assembly efficiency, improve the delivery efficiency of the assembly, and thus facilitate the improvement of the battery manufacturing efficiency.

Detailed implementation manners

[0050] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0051] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which this application belongs; the terms used in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application; the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification, claims and drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification, claims or drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects and not to describe a specific order or primary-secondary relationship.

[0052] Reference to "embodiment" in this application means that a specific feature, structure or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The phrase appears in various places in the specification and does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described in this application can be combined with other embodiments.

[0053] In the description of this application, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected to", and "attached to" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0054] The term "and / or" in this application is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: the existence of A, the simultaneous existence of A and B, and the existence of B. In addition, the character " / " in this application generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0055] In this application, the battery can include lithium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, sodium-lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, magnesium-ion batteries, etc., and the embodiments of this application do not limit this. The battery can be in a cylindrical shape, a flat shape, a cuboid shape or other shapes, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this either.

[0056] During the manufacturing process of the battery, shelves are needed to place the batteries. Exemplarily, in the formation process (the main purpose of formation is to activate the electrode materials of the battery through the charge and discharge process and improve its physical and electrochemical properties), multiple batteries need to be placed on the shelves to achieve batch formation. To improve the formation efficiency, the height dimension of the shelves is usually made larger to place more batteries.

[0057] Currently, when delivering the shelves, the shelves are often assembled on-site. The assembly process of the shelves often adopts the method of working at height, that is, assembling the shelves layer by layer from low to high. Since the method of working at height is used to assemble the shelves, there is a risk of working at height, and the working efficiency is low, which affects the delivery efficiency of the shelves.

[0058] In view of this, in order to reduce the operation risk during the delivery of the shelves, improve the operation efficiency, and improve the delivery efficiency of the shelves, some embodiments of the present application provide a flipping device, including a flipping frame and a driving component. The flipping frame is used to support the shelves. The driving component is connected to the flipping frame and is used to drive the flipping frame to rotate around the rotation axis to switch from the first position to the second position, and to turn the shelves from a horizontal posture to a vertical posture. Wherein, when the flipping frame is in the first position, the shelves are transported to the flipping frame in a horizontal posture on one side of the rotation axis, and when the flipping frame is in the second position, the shelves leave the flipping frame in a vertical posture on the other side of the rotation axis.

[0059] Compared with the current scheme of assembling the shelves by working at height, by setting the flipping device, the shelves can be assembled horizontally on the ground and transported from one side of the flipping frame to the flipping frame. The flipping frame is driven by the driving component to flip from the first position to the second position, thereby driving the shelves to flip to the vertical posture, and the shelves in the vertical posture can leave from the other side of the flipping frame to achieve the delivery of the shelves. On the one hand, it can reduce the operation risk caused by working at height and improve the assembly efficiency; on the other hand, it can centralize the assembly workstations, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the shelves and the delivery efficiency of the shelves.

[0060] The flipping device disclosed in the embodiments of the present application includes, but is not limited to, flipping the shelves used in the battery manufacturing process, and can also flip the shelves used in other production lines to improve the problem of working at height during the assembly of the shelves; at the same time, the flipping device disclosed in the embodiments of the present application can also be used for flipping other assembled parts with a relatively large height dimension. For example, a prefabricated and assembled structural part can be assembled on the horizontal ground first, and after being assembled in place, it is flipped by the flipping device to be in a vertical state, so that the structural part can be used in the vertical state.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, the flipping device is described by taking the assembled part as a shelf as an example.

[0062] See also Figures 1-4 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the flip device and the assembly when they are in the first position in some embodiments of the present application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the flip device and the assembly when it is in the second position in some embodiments of the present application. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the flip device in some embodiments of the present application when it is in the first position. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the flip device in some embodiments of the present application being in the second position.

[0063] The flipping device 100 includes a flip frame 10 and a driving assembly 20. The flip frame 10 is used to support the assembly 200. The driving assembly 20 is connected to the flip frame 10, and is used to drive the flip frame 10 to rotate around the rotation axis o to switch from the first position to the second position, and flip the assembly 200 from a horizontal posture to a vertical posture. When the flip frame 10 is in the first position, the assembly 200 is transferred to the flip frame 10 in a horizontal posture on one side of the rotation axis o, and when the flip frame 10 is in the second position, the assembly 200 leaves the flip frame 10 in a vertical posture on the other side of the rotation axis o.

[0064] In some embodiments, the assembly 200 may include a structural member assembled into an integral whole by means of a plurality of parts. For example, the assembly 200 includes a shelf.

[0065] The flip frame 10 is connected to the driving assembly 20 and flips under the action of the driving assembly 20. Exemplarily, in some embodiments, the driving assembly 20 includes a motor, one end of the flip frame 10 is connected to the execution end of the motor, and the flip frame 10 rotates around the output axis of the motor to achieve flipping. In some embodiments, the driving assembly 20 includes a fixed seat 21 and a driving member, the fixed seat 21 is fixed to the ground surface, the flip frame 10 is hinged to the fixed seat 21, and the hinge axis is the rotation axis o. The driving member is connected to the flip frame 10 in a transmission connection, and the driving member works to drive the flip frame 10 to rotate around the rotation axis o to achieve flipping. In some embodiments, the driving member can be a linear driving member 22 hinged to the fixed seat 21, such as a cylinder, a linear push rod, etc.

[0066] In some embodiments, the flip frame 10 is a frame structure, and illustratively, the flip frame 10 may include a plurality of horizontal bars, vertical bars, and diagonal bars, which are interconnected to form a frame structure capable of supporting the assembly 200. "The flip frame 10 is used to support the assembly 200" can be understood as that the assembly 200 can be placed on the flip frame 10, and when the flip frame 10 flips, the assembly 200 can flip along with the flip frame 10 to switch from a horizontal posture to a vertical posture, or from a vertical posture to a horizontal posture.

[0067] When the turnover rack 10 is in the first position, the assembly 200 is transported to the turnover rack 10 in a horizontal posture on one side of the rotation axis o. When the turnover rack 10 is in the second position, the assembly 200 leaves the turnover rack 10 in a vertical posture on the other side of the rotation axis o. It can be understood that the assembly 200 is assembled horizontally on the ground. After the assembly is completed, the assembly 200 is in a horizontal posture (for example, lying flat on the ground). At this time, the turnover rack 10 is in the first position. The assembly 200 on one side of the turnover rack 10 can be transported to the turnover rack 10 in a horizontal posture by a handling device or a worker. Subsequently, the driving assembly 20 works to make the turnover rack 10 turn over, and the assembly 200 follows the turnover to switch to a vertical posture (vertical to the ground), and is transported away from the turnover rack 10 by a handling device or a worker.

[0068] In some embodiments, the assembly 200 is assembled horizontally on the ground. The surface of the assembly 200 facing the ground is the back surface. The turnover rack 10 is supported on the back surface. As the turnover rack 10 turns over, the turnover rack 10 provides a thrust to the back surface of the assembly 200 to make the assembly 200 turn over to a vertical posture, so that the bottom surface of the assembly 200 can be supported on the ground.

[0069] In the above solution, by setting the turnover device 100, the assembly 200 can be assembled horizontally on the ground and transported from one side of the turnover rack 10 to the turnover rack 10. The turnover rack 10 is driven by the driving assembly 20 to turn from the first position to the second position, thereby driving the assembly 200 to turn to a vertical posture, and the assembly 200 in the vertical posture can leave from the other side of the turnover rack 10. Compared with the current solution of assembling the assembly 200 by working at heights, on the one hand, it can reduce the operation risks caused by working at heights and improve the assembly efficiency; on the other hand, it can centralize the assembly workstations, which is conducive to improving the assembly efficiency of the assembly 200 and the delivery efficiency of the assembly 200. Exemplarily, the assembly 200 is a shelf for placing batteries. By using the turnover device 100 provided by the above solution, the shelf can be quickly assembled on the ground and turned to a vertical posture, so that the delivery efficiency of the shelf is high. In the process of manufacturing batteries, due to the high delivery efficiency of the shelf, it is conducive to improving the battery manufacturing efficiency.

[0070] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 3 The turnover rack 10 includes a first bracket 11 and a first limiting portion 12. The first bracket 11 is used to support the assembly 200. Along the first direction x, one end of the first bracket 11 is connected to the first limiting portion 12, and the first limiting portion 12 protrudes from the first bracket 11 along the second direction y. The first limiting portion 12 is used to abut against the assembly 200. It is defined that the rotation axis o is parallel to the third direction z, and the first direction x, the second direction y, and the third direction z are perpendicular to each other in pairs.

[0071] In some embodiments, with reference to the turnover rack 10 being in the first position, the first direction x and the third direction z are respectively parallel to the horizontal direction and perpendicular to each other, and the third direction z can be the height direction. When with reference to the turnover rack 10 being in the second position, the first direction x can be the height direction, and the second direction y and the third direction z are respectively parallel to the horizontal direction and perpendicular to each other.

[0072] In some embodiments, with reference to the assembly 200, the height direction of the assembly 200 can be the first direction x, the thickness direction of the assembly 200 is the second direction y, and the width direction of the assembly 200 is the third direction z.

[0073] In some embodiments, the first bracket 11 can be formed by splicing a plurality of cross bars and vertical bars, and the connection relationship between the cross bars and the vertical bars includes but is not limited to bonding, welding or connection by threaded members. The material of the first bracket 11 includes but is not limited to aluminum alloy, stainless steel, reinforced plastic, etc.

[0074] Exemplarily, when the turnover rack 10 is in the first position and supports the assembly 200, the first bracket 11 can contact at least part of the back surface of the turnover rack 10, so that when the turnover rack 10 is turned over, the first bracket 11 can push the turnover rack 10 to turn over.

[0075] In some embodiments, the first limiting portion 12 is a structure protruding from the first bracket 11 in the second direction y. The first limiting portion 12 and the first bracket 11 can form an "L" - shaped structure. The first bracket 11 supports on the back surface of the assembly 200, and the first limiting portion 12 can contact the bottom surface of the assembly 200, so that when the turnover rack 10 is turned over, the assembly 200 turns over with the first limiting portion 12 as the fulcrum.

[0076] In some embodiments, the connection relationship between the first limiting portion 12 and the first bracket 11 includes but is not limited to bonding, welding or connection by threaded members.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first limiting portion 12 can be formed by splicing a plurality of cross bars, vertical bars and diagonal bars, and the connection relationship between the cross bars, vertical bars and diagonal bars includes but is not limited to bonding, welding or connection by threaded members. The material of the first limiting portion 12 includes but is not limited to aluminum alloy, stainless steel, reinforced plastic, etc.

[0078] In some embodiments, the turnover rack 10 can include a plurality of first limiting portions 12, and the plurality of first limiting portions 12 are arranged at intervals along the third direction z on the first bracket 11.

[0079] In the above solution, by providing the first support 11 and the first limiting portion 12, during the flipping of the flipping frame 10, the assembly 200 can be limited and supported by the first limiting portion 12. With the first limiting portion 12 as the pivot point, the assembly 200 is pushed by the first support 11 and follows the flipping of the flipping frame 10, so that it can stably flip from the horizontal posture to the vertical posture, reducing the risk of the assembly 200 being damaged due to detachment from the flipping frame 10 during the flipping process, and thus improving the delivery efficiency of the assembly 200.

[0080] In some embodiments, the assembly 200 can be restricted to the first support 11 in other ways so that it can be pushed by the first support 11 and flipped. Exemplarily, a clamping structure is provided on the first support 11. The clamping structure can clamp the assembly 200 to the first support 11, so that when the first support 11 flips, the assembly 200 can follow the flipping. The clamping structure can be a manipulator, and the manipulator can clamp the first support 11 to the first support 11. Or the clamping mechanism can be a hoop, and the hoop fixes the assembly 200 to the first support 11. After the assembly 200 flips to the vertical posture, the hoop can be disassembled to allow the assembly 200 to detach from the flipping frame 10.

[0081] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 , Figure 5 is Figure 3 the enlarged view of part A in

[0082] The flipping frame 10 further includes a limiting member 13. Along the second direction y, the limiting member 13 is provided at the end of the first limiting portion 12 away from the first support 11, and along the first direction x, the limiting member 13 protrudes from the first limiting portion 12 toward the other end of the first support 11, and the limiting member 13 is used to abut against the assembly 200.

[0083] In some embodiments, in the second direction y, one end of the first limiting portion 12 is connected to the first support 11, and the other end is provided with a limiting member 13. The limiting member 13 is disposed opposite to the first support 11 in the second direction y, so that the assembly 200 can be located between the first support 11 and the limiting member 13. In some embodiments, the first member is used to abut against the front surface of the assembly 200 to limit the displacement of the assembly 200 in the second direction y. Exemplarily, please refer to Figure 1 , for the part where the first support 11 supports the back surface of the assembly 200, the center of gravity of the assembly 200 may be located outside the first support 11. At this time, there is a problem that the assembly 200 may tilt backward. Therefore, a limiting member 13 is provided to abut against the front surface of the assembly 200, which plays a role in limiting the tilting backward of the assembly 200.

[0084] In some embodiments, the limiting member 13 is block-shaped, and the connection relationship between the limiting member 13 and the first limiting portion 12 includes but is not limited to bonding, welding, clamping or threaded connection.

[0086] In the above scheme, by setting the limit member 13, the assembly 200 can be stably located between the first bracket 11 and the limit member 13. On the one hand, when the flip frame 10 is in the first position, the limit member 13 can abut against the assembly 200, reducing the risk of the assembly 200 tipping over and backward along the first direction x and toward the side away from the limit member 13. On the other hand, when the flip frame 10 is in the second position, the limit member 13 can abut against the assembly 200, reducing the risk of the flip frame 10 tipping over and being damaged away from the first bracket 11, thereby effectively reducing the operational risk and improving the delivery efficiency of the assembly 200.

Exemplarily, when the turnover frame 10 is in the first position, along the first direction x, the assembly 200 is translated from one side of the rotation axis o along the direction from the second bracket 15 pointing to the first bracket 11. During the process of contacting the second bracket 15 and the first bracket 11, the rolling members 16 are in rolling contact with the back surface of the assembly 200, which can enable the assembly 200 to be smoothly and flexibly abutted against the first limiting portion 12.

[0099] In some embodiments, the rolling member 16 can be a roller. In some embodiments, the rolling member 16 can be a nylon roller.

[0100] In the above solution, the rolling member 16 can be in rolling contact with the assembly 200. By providing the rolling member 16, the efficiency of transporting the assembly 200 from one side of the rotation axis o to the turnover frame 10 in a horizontal posture can be improved, thereby improving the delivery efficiency of the assembly 200.

Along the third direction z, a gap is formed between the first sub-bracket 150 and the second sub-bracket 151.

[0103] In some embodiments, the first sub-bracket 150 and the second sub-bracket 151 are respectively strip-shaped, and their sizes in the first direction x are both larger than their sizes in the third direction z.

[0104] In the above solution, the first sub-bracket 150 and the second sub-bracket 151 are spaced apart along the third direction z. On the one hand, it can provide stable support for the assembly 200, and on the other hand, it can reduce the material cost and overall quality of the second bracket 15, and can effectively reduce the manufacturing cost and operating energy consumption of the turnover device 100.

The two third limiting portions 17 are respectively arranged at opposite ends of the second bracket 15 along the third direction z, and the third limiting portions 17 protrude from the second bracket 15 along the second direction y. The two third limiting portions 17 are used to limit the movement of the assembly 200 in the third direction z.

[0106] In some embodiments, the third limiting portion 17 can be formed by splicing a plurality of cross bars, vertical bars and diagonal bars. The connection relationships between the cross bars, vertical bars and diagonal bars include but are not limited to bonding, welding or connection by threaded members.

[0109] In the above solution, by arranging the two third limiting portions 17, the assembly 200 can be effectively restricted in the third direction z, reducing the risk that the assembly 200 moves along the third direction z and detaches from the flipping frame 10, resulting in damage to the assembly 200. Thus, the operation risk is effectively reduced, and the delivery efficiency of the assembly 200 is improved.

[0110] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 , Figure 6 is Figure 2 the enlarged view of B in

[0111] The flipping device 100 further includes a clamping mechanism 18. Along the second direction y, the clamping mechanism 18 is arranged on the surface of the third limiting portion 17 away from the second bracket 15, and the clamping mechanism 18 is used to lock the assembly 200 to the flipping frame 10.

[0112] Along the second direction y, the clamping mechanism 18 can be arranged opposite to the second bracket 15, and is used to cooperate with the second bracket 15 to restrict the assembly 200 on the flipping frame 10.

[0113] "The clamping mechanism 18 is used to lock the assembly 200 to the flipping frame 10" can be understood as that the clamping mechanism 18 can act to lock the assembly 200 to the flipping frame 10, so that the assembly 200 can stably rotate with the flipping frame 10 in both forward and reverse directions; and the clamping mechanism 18 can act to unlock, so that after the assembly 200 is flipped in place, the assembly 200 is allowed to leave the flipping frame 10.

[0114] Exemplarily, the clamping mechanism 18 can be a single-axis or multi-axis manipulator. The manipulator can clamp the assembly 200 to the second bracket 15 through movement, and move away from the assembly 200 to allow the assembly 200 to leave the turnover rack 10.

[0115] In the above solution, by providing the clamping mechanism 18, the assembly 200 can be locked to the turnover rack 10, reducing the risk of damage to the assembly 200 caused by the assembly 200 detaching from the turnover rack 10, and improving the delivery efficiency of the assembly 200.

The staff pulls the handle to rotate the clamping part 181 through the driving part 180.

[0118] The clamping part 181 is a component that can rotate under the action of the driving part 180. In some embodiments, the clamping part 181 can lock and unlock the assembly 200 through rotation. Exemplarily, the clamping part 181 rotates to be oppositely arranged with the second bracket 15 in the second direction y, so as to limit the assembly 200 between the second bracket 15 and the clamping part 181 in the second direction y; the clamping part 181 rotates to cancel the limitation on the assembly 200 in the second direction y, thereby allowing the assembly 200 to detach from the second bracket 15.

That is, the rope can drop to a position where the staff can reach by stretching their hands. The staff can pull the wrench 185 through the rope at a low altitude position or on the ground to unlock the assembly 200, thereby reducing the risk of working at height and improving the delivery efficiency of the assembly 200. Exemplarily, after the goods shelf is turned to the vertical state, the clamping mechanism 18 is about 6 meters above the ground. By pulling the nylon rope, the clamping part 181 of the clamping mechanism 18 is moved away from the goods shelf to achieve unlocking.

The shelf can be quickly assembled on the ground. Through the operation of the flipping device 100, the shelf in a horizontal posture can be flipped to a vertical posture. Compared with the current solution of assembling the shelf by working at heights, on the one hand, it can reduce the operation risk caused by working at heights and improve the assembly efficiency; on the other hand, it can centralize the assembly station, facilitate the improvement of the shelf assembly efficiency, improve the delivery efficiency of the assembled parts 200, and further facilitate the improvement of the battery manufacturing efficiency.
