[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 A battery welding feeding mechanism includes a guide beam 31 and a feeding assembly 32. Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the guide seat beam 31 is extended along the first direction X; the loading assembly 32 is arranged on the guide seat beam 31, and the loading assembly 32 can move relative to the guide seat beam 31 along the first direction X. Further, the loading assembly 32 includes an adapter plate 321, an extension frame 322 and a clamping member 323, the adapter plate 321 is installed on the guide seat beam 31, the clamping member 323 is installed on the adapter plate 321 through the extension frame 322, and the clamping member 323 is installed at one end of the extension frame 322 away from the adapter plate 321; the clamping member 323 can move relative to the adapter plate 321 along the second direction Y, and the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X. The clamping member 323 is used to clamp the battery 1, and the clamping member 323 can move along the second direction Y relative to the adapter plate 321, thereby increasing the movement range of the battery 1 clamped by the clamping member 323 in the second direction Y, and enabling the loading mechanism to adapt to more working conditions without interference. At the same time, the clamping member 323 is installed on the adapter plate 321 through the extension frame 322, and the clamping member 323 is located at the end of the extension frame 322 away from the adapter plate 321, thereby increasing the spatial distance between the clamping member 323 and the adapter plate 321, that is, the guide seat beam 31, which is beneficial to the loading and transportation of the battery 1, especially the blade battery, without interference, so that the loading mechanism can adapt to the loading and transportation of more types of batteries 1.

[0028] Specifically, Figure 1As shown, two loading assemblies 32 are installed on the guide seat beam 31 through a linear module to realize the movement of the loading assembly 32 relative to the guide seat beam 31 along the first direction X, and the extension frame 322 is movably connected to the adapter plate 321 through the linear module to realize the movement of the clamping member 323 relative to the adapter plate 321 in the second direction Y.

[0029] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the clamping member 323 includes a first top plate 3231 installed on the extension frame 322 , and two clamping portions 3232 are provided on the first top plate 3231 . The two clamping portions 3232 can move closer to or farther from each other to clamp or release the battery 1 .

[0030] Further, the clamping portion 3232 includes a second top plate 32321 installed on the first top plate 3231, and a mounting plate 32322 is arranged on the second top plate 32321, and the mounting plate 32322 is extended along the second direction Y toward a side away from the first top plate 3231; an adjusting plate 32324 is arranged on the mounting plate 32322, and the adjusting plate 32324 can move relative to the mounting plate 32322 along the second direction Y, and a first elastic member 32323 is arranged between the adjusting plate 32324 and the second top plate 32321; and a clamping claw 3233 is arranged on the mounting plate 32322. With such arrangement, hard contact between the clamp 3233 and the loading structure of the battery 1 can be avoided when the clamp 3233 grasps the battery 1. Specifically, when the clamp 3233 abuts against the loading structure of the battery 1 along the second direction Y, the loading structure of the battery 1 acts on the clamp 3233, and the adjustment plate 32324 moves upward along the second direction Y relative to the mounting plate 32322 to compress the first elastic member 32323, thereby achieving buffering.

[0031] Preferably, the first elastic member 32323 is a spring; the second top plate 32321 is provided with a first guide rod (not shown in the figure) extending along the second direction Y, the adjustment plate 32324 is provided with a first guide hole (not shown in the figure) adapted to the first guide rod, the first guide rod is slidably embedded in the first guide hole, and the first elastic member 32323 is sleeved outside the first guide rod; or the adjustment plate 32324 is provided with a first guide rod extending along the second direction Y, the second top plate 32321 is provided with a first guide hole adapted to the first guide rod, the first guide rod is slidably embedded in the first guide hole, and the first elastic member 32323 is sleeved outside the first guide rod.

[0032] In this embodiment, the adjustment plate 32324 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 32322 via a slide rail slider assembly.

[0033] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, the adjusting plate 32324 is provided with a limiting notch 3234, and the mounting plate 32322 is provided with a limiting block 3235, and the limiting block 3235 at least partially extends into the limiting notch 3234. The limiting block 3235 is used to limit the limit position of the adjusting plate 32324 in the second direction Y, specifically, to limit the limit position of the adjusting plate 32324 downward along the second direction Y.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the adjustment plate 32324 is located on the side of the mounting plate 32322 away from the other clamping portion 3232. In this way, the space adjustment range between the two clamping portions 3232 can be increased, which is conducive to adapting to different types of battery clamping.

In this embodiment, the clamping jaw 3233 is at least partially located on the downward movement path of the pressing plate 3236 in the second direction Y.

[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the clamping jaw 3233 is L-shaped. When in use, the battery 1 is carried on the clamping jaw 3233, and the pressing block plate 3236 moves downward along the second direction Y to cooperate with the clamping jaw 3233 to press the battery 1, so as to ensure that the battery 1 maintains a stable posture during the loading process.

[0037] In order to prevent the battery 1 from being damaged, an elastic protective cover 32331 is provided on the outer cover of the clamping jaw 3233. The elastic protective cover 32331 can be made of elastic silicone or elastic rubber.

[0038] In this embodiment, at least two clamping jaws 3233 are provided on the same adjustment plate 32324, and at least two of the clamping jaws 3233 are spaced apart on the adjustment plate 32324 along the third direction Z. In this way, the battery 1 can be better clamped in the length direction of the battery 1. In this embodiment, the length direction of the battery 1 is parallel to the third direction Z.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the second top plate 32321 is slidably connected to the first top plate 3231, and the first top plate 3231 is provided with a second driving member 3239 for driving the second top plate 32321 to move relative to the first top plate 3231.
