[0038] First, the X direction, Y direction and Z direction mentioned in the embodiment of the present application can be referred to in the attached drawings. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The directions marked in . Among them, the X direction, the Y direction and the Z direction intersect each other.

[0039] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, according to the first aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a flipping device 100 is provided, comprising a first mounting mechanism 4, a clamping mechanism 1, a rotating mechanism 2, a second mounting mechanism 5 and a driving mechanism 3; the clamping mechanism 1 is arranged on the first mounting mechanism 4, and the clamping mechanism 1 is used to clamp the material; the rotating end of the rotating mechanism 2 is connected to the first mounting mechanism 4, and the rotating mechanism 2 can drive the first mounting mechanism 4 to rotate around the axis of the X direction; the rotating mechanism 2 is arranged on the second mounting mechanism 5; the driving end of the driving mechanism 3 is connected to the second mounting mechanism 5, and the driving mechanism 3 can drive the second mounting mechanism 5 to move along the Z direction.

[0040] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the flipping device 100 includes a first mounting mechanism 4, a clamping mechanism 1 and a rotating mechanism 2. The clamping mechanism 1 is used to clamp materials, which may be batteries or other products that need to be flipped. The present application embodiment takes batteries as an example for description.

[0041] Among them, the clamping mechanism 1 is arranged on the first mounting mechanism 4, the rotating end of the rotating mechanism 2 is connected to the first mounting mechanism 4, the rotating mechanism 2 can drive the first mounting mechanism 4 to rotate around the axis of the X direction, thereby driving the clamping mechanism 1 to rotate around the axis of the X direction, and the clamping mechanism 1 is used to clamp the battery, so the battery can be flipped to facilitate the transportation of the battery to the next process or to facilitate the processing and testing of the battery.

[0042] Further explanation, the flipping device 100 also includes a second mounting mechanism 5 and a driving mechanism 3. Among them, the rotating mechanism 2 is arranged on the second mounting mechanism 5, thereby providing a mounting position for the rotating mechanism 2; the driving end of the driving mechanism 3 is connected to the second mounting mechanism 5, and the driving mechanism 3 can drive the second mounting mechanism 5 to move along the Z direction, so the driving mechanism 3 can drive the clamping mechanism 1 to move in the Z direction, so that the position of the clamping mechanism 1 is adjusted in the Z direction, so as to facilitate the transfer of the battery to the clamping mechanism 1 or the removal of the battery from the clamping mechanism 1; when the battery is transferred to the clamping mechanism 1, the position of the battery can also be adjusted to facilitate the processing or detection of the battery.

[0043] In the prior art, in battery production equipment, batteries are usually turned over manually, which results in low operating efficiency and further affects the production efficiency of the batteries.

[0044] Therefore, the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes automatic flipping of the battery through the rotating mechanism 2, and its operating efficiency is relatively high, thereby being able to improve the production efficiency of the battery.

[0045] Preferably, the rotating mechanism 2 can adopt a servo motor, an AC motor or a DC motor.
