[0048] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure and technical effects generated by the present utility model in combination with the embodiments and the drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features and effects of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model. In addition, all the connection / connection relationships involved in the patent do not refer only to the direct connection of components, but refer to the more optimal connection structure that can be formed by adding or reducing connection accessories according to the specific implementation situation. Each technical feature in the present utility model can be combined interactively without conflicting with each other.

[0049] Referring to Figure 1-3 , a battery variable pitch barcode scanning mechanism includes: a barcode scanning assembly 1, a machine frame 2, a first driving member 22, and a fixture platform 3; the barcode scanning assembly 1 is arranged at the end of the machine frame 2 for scanning the battery; the fixture platform 3 is used for placing the battery, one end of the first driving member 22 is fixedly connected to the machine frame 2, and the other end is fixedly connected to the fixture platform 3. The first driving member 22 is used to drive the fixture platform 3 to approach or move away from the barcode scanning assembly 1 to cooperate with the barcode scanning assembly 1 to scan the battery placed on the fixture platform 3. The barcode scanning assembly 1 includes a barcode scanner 11. Even if different models of batteries are replaced, the distance between the barcode scanning assembly 1 and the fixture platform 3 can be adjusted so that the information code on the battery enters the scanning range of the barcode scanning assembly 1, completing the barcode scanning work of the battery, achieving equipment replacement without changing the model and good compatibility, and greatly improving production efficiency.

[0050] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , the first driving member 22 is a first variable pitch cylinder, and the first variable pitch cylinder is installed on the frame 2; first guide rails 21 are arranged on both sides of the first variable pitch cylinder, and first sliding seats 31 matching with the first guide rails 21 are arranged on the jig platform 3; the first variable pitch cylinder can drive the jig platform 3 to make reciprocating motion along the first guide rails 21. It can be understood that the jig platform 3 is carried by the cooperation of the first guide rails 21 and the first sliding seats 31, and the jig platform 3 can be easily driven to slide on the first slide rail by the driving of the first variable pitch cylinder. Specifically, there are two first guide rails 21, which are arranged on both sides of the first variable pitch cylinder and are parallel to the driving direction of the first variable pitch cylinder. There are four sliding seats on the jig platform 3, which respectively support the four positions of the jig platform 3. Among them, the number of sliding seats is not limited, as long as the support requirement for the jig platform 3 can be met.

[0051] Further, referring to Figure 1 、 2 , buffer limit members 24 are further arranged at both ends of the frame 2 to limit the moving range of the jig platform 3.

[0052] Further, referring to Figure 2 、 3 , a position sensor 23 is arranged on the frame 2 along the first guide rails 21. After the position sensor 23 detects that the jig platform 3 reaches the scanning position, the barcode scanner 11 scans the battery. That is to say, by setting the position sensor 23, the scanning accuracy and scanning efficiency can be further improved.

[0053] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 、 5 , the jig platform 3 has a plurality of jig units 32 arranged at intervals. The jig unit 32 includes a platen 323, limiting members 321 oppositely arranged on the platen 323, and a fixing plate 322 for fixing the limiting members 321 on the platen 323. The battery is placed on the jig platform 3 through the limiting members 321. Specifically, the limiting members 321 are two oppositely arranged receiving grooves, and both ends of the battery can be clamped in the receiving cavity formed by the receiving grooves to complete the limiting of the battery. The jig platform 3 can place a plurality of batteries through a plurality of jig units 32 at the same time, fix the batteries through the limiting members 321, and then move to the scanning area together with the jig platform 3 for scanning, so that a plurality of batteries can be scanned at one time, improving the scanning efficiency.

[0054] Further, referring to Figure 4 、 5 , a sensor for detecting the presence or absence of the battery is arranged on the platen 323.

[0055] Furthermore, the number of barcode scanners 11 is matched with the number of fixture units 32, so that when the fixture platform 3 carrying the battery moves to the scanning area of ​​multiple barcode scanners 11, the barcode scanning work can be completed at the same time, which can greatly improve the scanning efficiency. It is also possible that multiple fixture units 32 correspond to one barcode scanner 11 or a smaller number of barcode scanners 11 relative to the number of fixture units 32. For example, when there are four fixture units 32 and two barcode scanners 11, one barcode scanner 11 corresponds to two batteries for scanning, which can reduce the number of barcode scanners 11 deployed.

[0056] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6 The barcode scanning assembly 1 further includes a second driving member 12, which is in transmission connection with the barcode scanning gun 11 and is used to drive the barcode scanning gun 11 to move along a driving direction perpendicular to the first driving member 22. That is to say, when a barcode scanning gun 11 needs to scan multiple batteries, after the barcode scanning gun 11 scans one battery, the second driving member 12 drives the barcode scanning gun 11 to move to the next barcode scanning area, and then completes the scanning work of the second battery.

[0057] Specifically, the second driving member 12 is a second variable pitch cylinder, a second guide rail 13 and a second slide seat 14 matched with the second guide rail 13 are provided along the driving direction of the second variable pitch cylinder, and the barcode scanning gun 11 is provided on the second slide seat 14; the second variable pitch cylinder can drive the barcode scanning gun 11 to reciprocate along the second guide rail 13. The barcode scanning gun 11 is driven by the second variable pitch cylinder to slide on the second guide rail 13 to complete the barcode scanning work of multiple batteries.

[0058] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6 The second slide 14 is provided with a mounting platform 141, the mounting platform 141 is provided with a mounting rod 142, and the barcode scanner 11 is connected to the mounting rod 142 via an angle adjustment mechanism 143. It can be understood that the angle of the barcode scanner 11 relative to the battery can be flexibly adjusted by the angle adjustment mechanism 143, that is, by setting the angle adjustment mechanism 143, the scope of application of the utility model can be expanded.

[0059] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 6 The angle adjustment mechanism 143 includes a first connecting member 1431 and a second connecting member 1432; the barcode scanner 11 has a fixed rod 111, one end of the first connecting member 1431 is rotatably connected to the mounting rod 142, and the other end is rotatably connected to the second connecting member 1432, and the second connecting member 1432 is adjustably connected to the fixed rod 111 at one end away from the first connecting member 1431. It can be understood that the angle adjustment mechanism 143 can realize the left-right adjustment, pitch adjustment, and height adjustment of the barcode scanner 11 relative to the fixture platform 3, so that it can adapt to more types of batteries and has stronger compatibility.

[0060] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , a pitch-changing mechanism 324 is provided on the fixture platform 3. The pitch-changing mechanism 324 is in transmission connection with the fixture unit 32, and is used to adjust the distance between adjacent fixture units 32 through the pitch-changing mechanism 324. By changing the distance between the fixture units 32 through the pitch-changing mechanism 324, for example, it can ensure that there is only one battery in the scanning area of the barcode scanner 11, improving the accuracy of scanning. In addition, by adjusting the distance between the fixture units 32 to adapt to the subsequent operation process. For example, after the battery located on the fixture unit 32 is scanned by the barcode scanner 11, the battery needs to be taken out by a manipulator. To match the model of the subsequent manipulator, the distance between the fixture units 32 is adjusted to a distance convenient for the manipulator to grasp through the pitch-changing mechanism 324, so as to better cooperate with the subsequent assembly line production and improve production efficiency.

[0061] Specifically, referring to Figure 4 、 5 , a third guide rail 33 is provided on the fixture platform 3 perpendicular to the driving direction of the first driving member 22. Third sliding seats 3231 that cooperate with the third guide rail 33 are provided at both ends of the carriage 323. An auxiliary bearing 3232 is provided on the side of the carriage 323 facing the frame 2. It can be understood that any fixture unit 32 can be supported by the third guide rail 33 and can slide flexibly along the third guide rail 33. The pitch-changing mechanism 324 includes a third driving member 3241 and an adjusting plate 3242. The adjusting plate 3242 is parallel to the third guide rail 33. A plurality of adjusting channels 32421 are provided on the adjusting plate 3242. The adjusting channels 32421 are arranged at an angle with respect to the length direction of the adjusting plate 3242, and the plurality of adjusting channels 32421 are axially symmetrically distributed perpendicular to the center line of the adjusting plate 3242. For example, when the number of fixture units 32 is four, four adjusting channels 32421 are provided corresponding to the number of fixture units 32. The two adjusting channels 32421 located in the middle of the adjusting plate 3242 are axially symmetric, specifically in a "V" shape distribution. Referring to Figure 5, the auxiliary bearing 3232 is located inside the adjustment channel 32421, and the third driving member 3241 is used to drive the adjustment plate 3242 to move along the driving direction of the first driving member 22, and at the same time, the auxiliary bearing 3232 moves along the adjustment channel 32421. Among them, the third driving member 3241 is a third driving cylinder. That is to say, the third driving member 3241 drives the adjustment plate 3242 to move, and the adjustment channel 32421 will apply a driving force to the jig unit 32 located at the bottom through the auxiliary bearing 3232, driving the jig unit 32 to move along the extension direction of the adjustment plate 3242, so that the distance between two adjacent jig units 32 is increased or decreased. Further, according to the requirements of different distances, the angle between the adjustment channel 32421 and the adjustment plate 3242 can be adjusted.

[0062] In some embodiments, a glue nail detection sensor 4 for detecting the battery is provided on the frame 2 to detect whether the glue nails on the battery have been removed to ensure the subsequent liquid injection work.

[0063] The above is a specific description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.
