Description

[0002] As the most representative industry of new energy vehicles, pure electric vehicles are currently booming. The battery module is the core energy source of new energy vehicles, providing driving electric energy for the whole vehicle. After the production and assembly of the battery module are completed, it is necessary to detect whether the flatness of the bottom surface of the battery module is qualified, and at this time, the battery module needs to be flipped over; currently, most flipping methods are to manually flip the power battery module. Since the power battery module is generally heavy, generally two or more workers are required to assist in the completion, resulting in high labor costs and the risk of the battery module falling, which may cause product damage and even casualties.

[0075] The second-direction assembly 500 has a third working surface 531 and a fourth working surface 532 that are oppositely arranged in the second direction. The second-direction assembly 500 is slidably connected to the frame 300 to change the distance between the oppositely arranged third working surface 531 and fourth working surface 532, so that the oppositely arranged third working surface 531 and fourth working surface 532 can clamp the battery module 900 in the second direction.

[0076] The first-direction assembly 400 has a first working surface 421 and a second working surface 422 that are oppositely arranged in the first direction. The first-direction assembly 400 is slidably connected to the second-direction assembly 500 to be able to change the distance between the oppositely arranged first working surface 421 and second working surface 422, so that the oppositely arranged first working surface 421 and second working surface 422 can clamp the battery module 900 in the first direction.

[0077] The third-direction assembly 600 is detachably connected to the frame 300. The third-direction assembly 600 has a fifth working surface 671 and a sixth working surface 672 that are oppositely arranged in the third direction, and the sixth working surface 672 can move in a direction closer to or farther from the fifth working surface 671, that is, the distance between the fifth working surface 671 and the sixth working surface 672 is adjustable, so that the fifth working surface 671 and the sixth working surface 672 can clamp the battery module 900 in the third direction. In this embodiment, when the driving assembly 200 drives the frame 300 to rotate around the first direction, the first-direction assembly 400, the second-direction assembly 500, and the third-direction assembly 600 clamp the battery module 900 and rotate around the first direction with the frame 300.

[0078] Optionally, the driving assembly 200 is driven by electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic means; for example, the driving assembly 200 includes a motor, a cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder, etc.

[0079] In the flipping device described in this embodiment, it includes a base 100, a driving component 200, a frame 300, a first-direction component 400, a second-direction component 500, and a third-direction component 600.

The first-direction component 400 is slidably connected to the second-direction component 500 to be able to change the distance between a first working surface 421 and a second working surface 422. The third-direction component 600 is detachably connected to the frame 300, and the distance between a fifth working surface 671 and a sixth working surface 672 of the third-direction component 600 is adjustable. Among them, the first working surface 421, the second working surface 422, the third working surface 531, the fourth working surface 532, the fifth working surface 671, and the sixth working surface 672 clamp and position the battery module 900 from three directions.

Compared with manually flipping the battery module in the prior art, the flipping device has lower labor costs and higher safety. Compared with using a manipulator to flip the battery module in the prior art, the flipping device has a relatively simple structure, a relatively small volume, lower production costs, and is more convenient to operate, and can effectively improve the working efficiency of flipping the battery module 900.

[0080] See Figures 1 - 15 As shown, in an alternative solution of this embodiment, the third-direction component 600 includes a third-direction fixing mechanism 610 and a third-direction adjustable mechanism 620.

The first pressing plate 611 and the second pressing plate 621 are used to clamp the battery module 900. Through the third-direction fixing mechanism 610 and the third-direction adjustable mechanism 620, the battery module 900 can be placed on the third-direction fixing mechanism 610, and then by adjusting the sixth working surface 672 to be closer to or farther from the fifth working surface 671, the distance between the second pressing plate 621 and the battery module 900 can be changed to achieve clamping the battery module 900 in the third direction.

[0081] In this embodiment, the third-direction component 600 may also adopt third-direction adjustable mechanisms 620 arranged in pairs; for example, along the third direction, third-direction adjustable mechanisms 620 are arranged on both sides of the frame 300; the third-direction adjustable mechanism 620 includes a second pressing plate 621 that can move in the third direction; the frame 300 is arranged between the two second pressing plates 621, and the surfaces of the two second pressing plates 621 close to the frame 300 are a fifth working surface 671 and a sixth working surface 672 respectively. The second pressing plates 621 on both sides of the frame 300 clamp the battery module 900 with the fifth working surface 671 and the sixth working surface 672. By moving the second pressing plate 621 in the third direction, the distance between the second pressing plate 621 and the battery module 900 can be adjusted on both sides of the battery module 900, so as to clamp the battery module 900 in the third direction.

[0083] For the third-direction adjustable mechanism 620 described in this embodiment, the mounting member 630 provides support for the adjustment assembly 660 and the second pressing plate 621. First, the pressing mechanism 640 quickly fixes the mounting member 630 on the frame 300, and then the third-direction fastener 650 firmly fixes the mounting member 630 on the frame 300, so that the mounting member 630 can better support the second pressing plate 621, and further the mounting member 630 can better support the battery module 900 located on the second pressing plate 621 at a specific position, so as to reduce or avoid the probability of the battery module 900 falling when the frame 300 is flipped to a specific position. By adjusting the distance between the second pressing plate 621 and the mounting member 630 through the adjustment assembly 660, that is, adjusting the distance between the second pressing plate 621 and the battery module 900, the second pressing plate 621 presses the battery module 900.
