Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of lithium battery processing equipment, in particular to a 90-degree flipping mechanism for lithium batteries. Background Art

[0002] Lithium battery processing equipment (such as spraying and testing) generally involves flipping lithium batteries to achieve the predetermined processing steps. However, the existing 90-degree flipping mechanism is generally complex in structure, and the main factors are: 1. The lithium battery needs to be positioned and supported; 2. It needs to be clamped when flipping (the existing practice is generally to use a bidirectional clamping motor). At that time, in some scenarios, if the flipping mechanism is large in size and used in large quantities, first of all, its cost is high, and then its applicability is poor (for example, it can be installed in the equipment or can only be applied to lithium batteries of a single size). Summary of the invention

[0003] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a 90-degree flipping mechanism for a lithium battery, aiming to miniaturize the flipping mechanism, while the flipping logic is simple and stable and has strong applicability.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model proposes a 90-degree flip mechanism for a lithium battery, comprising:

[0005] A machine base, the machine base extending upward from the plane, the machine base being provided with a pivot hole;

[0006] The pivot part is arranged in the pivot hole, the base is provided with a driving device for driving the pivot part to swing, the pivot part is provided with a clamping seat, the clamping seat includes a positioning wall and a supporting wall extending horizontally from the bottom of the positioning wall, the positioning wall is provided with an adsorption device,

[0007] The driving device can drive the clamping seat to swing between a horizontally placed position or a vertically placed position.

[0008] In the actual design, the lithium battery is placed on the supporting wall by a robot, and the side wall of the lithium battery is fit with the positioning wall. At the same time, the adsorption device adsorbs the side wall of the lithium battery onto the supporting wall, and then the driving device drives the clamping seat to swing from a vertical position to a horizontal position, thereby realizing a 90-degree flip of the lithium battery. Its structure is simple and stable, and the adsorption device can be suitable for lithium batteries of different sizes. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] In actual design, the lithium battery is placed on the supporting wall 22 by a manipulator, and the side wall of the lithium battery is attached to the positioning wall 21. At the same time, the adsorption device adsorbs the side wall of the lithium battery to the supporting wall 22, and then the driving device drives the clamping seat 2 to swing from the vertical position to the horizontal position, thereby realizing the 90-degree flipping of the lithium battery.
