[0028] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments 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, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] The core of the present utility model is to provide an integrated mobile device, which can realize the rapid transfer of the battery module, has strong flexibility, does not require manual cooperation, improves the transfer efficiency of the battery module, and improves the assembly efficiency thereof.

[0030] The integrated picking and placing mobile device provided by the present utility model specifically includes a bracket 1, a conveyor roller group 6, a pushing and pulling member 2, a driving mechanism, and a control mechanism. Please refer to Figure 1 .

[0031] The conveyor roller group 6 is arranged on the bracket 1, and the conveyor roller group 6 is rotatably connected to the bracket 1. When the battery module 3 moves relative to the bracket 1, the contact force between the battery module 3 and the conveyor roller group 6 can make it rotate, providing a certain auxiliary force for the movement of the battery module 3, so that the driving mechanism can push or pull the battery module 3 without too much power.

[0032] By setting the rotatable conveyor roller group 6, the friction between the battery module 3 and the conveyor roller group 6 is converted into rolling friction, improving the smoothness and reliability of the relative movement of the battery module 3 on the bracket 1.

[0033] The pushing and pulling member 2 is arranged on the upper side of the conveyor roller group 6. The driving mechanism is controlled by the control mechanism to drive the pushing and pulling member 2 to drive the battery module 3 to move. The movement here is the two-way transfer between the conveyor roller group 6 and the tooling table 7.

[0034] Preferably, the control mechanism may specifically include a controller and a display screen, which is an interface for interaction between the operator and the mobile device, used to drive the start, operation, and stop of the mechanism, and can also be used to control the speed of the driving mechanism. The movement process of the battery module 3, the operation status of the driving mechanism, and the pushing and pulling mechanism 2 can be displayed on the display screen, facilitating the operator to know the operation situation of the device.

[0035] The tooling table 7 is a platform for assembling and fitting the battery module 3. The assembled battery module 3 can be pulled back onto the conveying roller group 6 through the pushing and pulling component 2, and when assembly is required, the battery module 3 is pushed onto the tooling table 7 through the pushing and pulling component 2.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, a reliable connection is made between the battery module 3 and the pushing and pulling component 2 before pushing and pulling to ensure operation stability during pushing and pulling. For example, the battery module 3 and the pushing and pulling component 2 can be connected through a rigid rope, a hook, or a clamping part.

[0037] Preferably, the driving mechanism is an independent component provided on the bracket 1, enabling the mobile device to have its own power without the assistance of other components, improving the efficiency of transferring and assembling the battery module 3, and enhancing applicability and flexibility.

[0038] In this embodiment, the battery module 3 can also be a relatively heavy and immovable component such as a battery pack or a battery cell.

[0039] Optionally, the mobile device can be made movable, such as adding rollers to achieve the overall movement of the mobile device and increase its flexibility.

[0040] The above pick-and-place integrated mobile device includes a bracket 1, a conveying roller group 6, a pushing and pulling component 2, a driving mechanism, and a control mechanism. The conveying roller group 6 is arranged on the bracket 1 and is used to support the battery module 3. The pushing and pulling component 2 is arranged on the upper side of the conveying roller group 6 and can push the battery module 3 to transfer it from the conveying roller group 6 to the tooling table 7 for assembly, or pull the battery module 3 to transfer it from the tooling table 7 to the conveying roller group 6, meeting the flexible transfer of the battery module; the driving mechanism is controlled by the control mechanism to control the pushing and pulling component 2 to pull or push the battery module 3, realizing the two-way transfer of the battery module 3, without the need for multiple manual cooperations or relying on a gantry crane, reducing the manual workload and improving the efficiency of battery module transfer and assembly.

[0041] On the basis of the above embodiment, a movement detection element signal-connected to the control mechanism is further arranged on the bracket 1. The movement detection element is arranged on the movement route of the pushing and pulling component 2 and is used to detect the movement position of the battery module 3.

[0042] In this embodiment, the movement detection element is arranged on the movement route of the pushing and pulling component 2, and one or more groups can be set.

[0043] Optionally, the movement detection element can be a proximity switch, a transmissive sensor, etc., and it is only necessary to detect the position of the battery module 3.

[0044] By detecting the moving position of the battery module 3 through the movement detection element, it is possible to prevent the battery module 3 from exceeding the limit position during movement, which may cause component damage or module dropping. Taking a specific embodiment as an example, the movement detection element is a proximity switch provided at both ends of the bracket 1. When the driving mechanism is started forward, the battery module 3 is moved onto the tooling table 7. When the proximity switch at the rear end of the bracket 1 detects the battery module 3, if the driving mechanism continues to operate and push the push-pull component 2 at this time, it is likely to cause component damage or equipment failure. Therefore, it is necessary to control the driving mechanism to stop in time through the control mechanism.

[0045] When the driving mechanism drives reversely to pull the battery module 3 onto the conveying roller group 6, when the proximity switch at the front end of the bracket 1 detects the battery module 3, if the driving mechanism continues to operate and push the battery module 3 at this time, it is likely to cause an impact. Therefore, it is necessary to control the driving mechanism to stop in time through the control mechanism.

[0046] Preferably, the distance between the two proximity switches in the above process is less than the maximum distance that the push-pull component 2 can move.

[0047] Preferably, an alarm device can also be set to give an alarm in time when the proximity switch detects the battery module 3. The alarm device can be a warning light on the proximity switch or a separately provided warning module.

[0048] Based on any of the above embodiments, a guiding member 8 is provided on the bracket 1, and the driving mechanism drives the push-pull component 2 to move along the length direction of the guiding member 8, and a limiting member is provided at the end of the guiding member 8.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 - 2 , the guiding member 8 is a component that provides guidance for the movement of the push-pull component 2 and can be a slide rail. When the driving mechanism drives the push-pull component 2 to move, the push-pull component 2 can move along the length direction of the guiding member 8, ensuring the accuracy of the movement route of the push-pull component 2 and avoiding problems during the movement of the battery module 3 due to deviation in the push-pull direction.

[0050] A limiting member is provided at the end of the guiding member 8. Here, the limiting member can be used in cooperation with the proximity switch. The limiting member can be a blocking plate, which can limit the excessive movement of the push-pull component 2.

[0051] Preferably, a centering mechanism 5 is also provided on the bracket 1. The centering mechanism 5 is parallel to the length direction of the bracket 1 to ensure the overall centering of the battery module 3 during movement and prevent the battery module 3 from running off or dropping.

[0052] Regarding Figure 1 andFigure 2 It should be noted that only one set of push-pull components 2 is provided in the figure. The push-pull component 2 in the dotted line part corresponds to an extreme position where the push-pull component 2 in the solid line part on its left moves, rather than two sets of push-pull components 2 being provided.

[0053] Based on any of the above embodiments, the push-pull component 2 includes a connecting cross beam 22. A push-pull part 21 is longitudinally connected to the connecting cross beam 22, and the connecting cross beam 22 or the push-pull part 21 is connected to a driving mechanism.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 1 - 2 , the push-pull component 2 includes a connecting cross beam 22 and a push-pull part 21. The connecting cross beam 22 is slidably connected to the guiding member 8, and the push-pull part 21 is connected to the connecting cross beam 22. It is the main component for pushing and pulling. When the push-pull part 21 moves to the end of the conveying roller group 6, it needs to extend a certain distance. This is because there is generally a certain distance between the bracket 1 and the tooling table 7. By the certain distance that the push-pull part 21 extends, it is ensured that the battery module 3 can be reliably pushed onto the tooling table 7.

[0055] Either the push-pull part 21 or the connecting cross beam 22 is connected to the driving mechanism. By driving the push-pull part 21 to move bidirectionally on the bracket 1, the bidirectional transfer requirement of the battery module 3 can be achieved.

[0056] In this embodiment, the driving mechanism can be a DC motor to provide power for the entire device.

[0057] Based on any of the above embodiments, two sets of push-pull parts 21 are provided, and at least one set of the two sets of push-pull parts 21 has an adjustable connection position on the connecting cross beam 22.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , two sets of push-pull parts 21 are provided. The two sets of push-pull parts 21 can be symmetrically arranged or asymmetrically arranged relative to the bracket 1; the connection position of any one of the two sets of push-pull parts 21 on the connecting cross beam 22 can be adjusted, or the connection positions of the two sets of push-pull parts 21 on the connecting cross beam 22 can be adjusted, so that the two sets of push-pull parts 21 can be relatively close to or away from each other to be applicable to battery modules 3 of different sizes.

[0059] As a relatively preferred implementation manner, the two sets of push-pull parts 21 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the midline of the bracket 1, and both sets of push-pull parts 21 can move horizontally on the connecting cross beam 22 to adjust the distance between them.

[0060] Optionally, a plurality of uniformly distributed connection hole positions can be provided on the connecting cross beam 22. The push-pull part 21 changes the position of the connection hole position connected to it to change its connection position with the connecting cross beam 22.

[0061] Optionally, the pushing and pulling part 21 can be slidably connected to the connecting cross beam 22, and can be locked by fasteners after moving into place. The fasteners can be screws, nuts, pins, etc.

[0062] Based on any of the above embodiments, a connecting part is provided on the pushing and pulling part 21, and the connecting part is used to connect the battery module 3 through a connecting piece.

[0063] In this embodiment, the connecting piece can be a steel wire rope. By passing the steel wire rope through the positioning holes on the battery module 3 and connecting it to the connecting part, the connection between the battery module 3 and the pushing and pulling part 21 can be realized, ensuring the reliability of the movement of the battery module 3.

[0064] During the process of pushing the battery module 3 to the tooling table 7, the steel wire rope can be selectively used and can be chosen to be used or not according to the situation; when pulling the battery module 3 onto the conveying roller group 6, the steel wire rope needs to be used.

[0065] Based on any of the above embodiments, the two end parts of the connecting cross beam 22 are slidably connected to the guiding member 8.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 , both end parts of the connecting cross beam 22 are slidably connected to the guiding member 8. When the driving mechanism drives the connecting cross beam 22 or the pushing and pulling part 21 to move, through the restriction of the guiding member 8 on the end parts of the connecting cross beam 22, it is ensured that the battery module 3 will not deflect or fall during movement, ensuring the reliable safety of the operation.

[0067] Optionally, the end part of the connecting cross beam 22 can be set in the form of a slider. When the guiding member 8 is a slide rail, it can cooperate with it to achieve the guiding function.

[0068] Based on any of the above embodiments, the conveying roller group 6 includes a conveying roller main body 61 and a suspended conveying roller 62. The suspended conveying roller 62 at least partially extends out relative to the bracket 1 to achieve the transition during the transfer of the battery module 3.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 , the conveying roller group 6 includes a conveying roller main body 61 and a suspended conveying roller 62, where the conveying roller main body 61 is the main component arranged inside the bracket 1, and the suspended conveying roller 62 extends out of the bracket 1 by a part, serving as the transition section during the movement of the battery module 3. This transition section is arranged close to the tooling table 7 to avoid interference between the bracket 1 and the tooling table 7 during the movement of the battery module 3.

[0070] In this embodiment, both the conveying roller main body 61 and the suspended conveying roller 62 can rotate passively when contacting the battery module 3 to provide auxiliary force during the transfer of the module.

[0071] Based on any of the above embodiments, a guiding surface is provided at the end of the suspended conveying roller 62 extending out of the bracket 1 part and / or at the end of the conveying roller main body 61, and the guiding surface is inclined downward.

[0072] When a guiding surface is provided at the end of the suspended conveying roller 62 extending out of the bracket 1 part, it provides a certain guiding effect for the transfer of the battery module 3 between the suspended conveying roller 62 and the tooling table 7.

[0073] When a guiding surface is provided at the end of the conveying roller main body 61, it provides a guiding effect for the movement of the battery module 3 between the conveying roller main body 61 and the suspended conveying roller 62.

[0074] When guiding surfaces are provided at both the end of the suspended conveying roller 62 extending out of the bracket 1 part and the end of the conveying roller main body 61, it provides a guiding effect for the overall movement of the battery module 3 on the conveying roller group 6.

[0075] Any one of the above three methods is beneficial to the conveying of the battery module 3 on the conveying roller group 6. The guiding surface is inclined downward, but the angle cannot be set too large to avoid the problem that the battery module 3 consumes too much power when being transferred from the tooling table 7 to the conveying roller group 6.

[0076] Based on any of the above embodiments, a fork connection part 4 is provided at the bottom of the bracket 1, which is specifically used to connect with a forklift. The forklift can move the entire mobile device to any working area, enabling the mobile device to be flexibly applied to various occasions such as assembly, detection, and construction, eliminating the site restriction factors, and enhancing the site adaptability and flexibility of the device.

[0077] If a forklift is used, preferably, the forklift is used to supply power to the driving mechanism, and the mobile device is controlled through the forklift control mechanism, which simplifies the configuration of the mobile device and improves the reliability and flexibility of the device.

[0078] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments. For the same or similar parts among the various embodiments, reference can be made to each other.

[0079] The above has introduced in detail a pick-and-place integrated mobile device provided by the present utility model. Specific examples are used herein to elaborate on the principle and implementation manner of the present utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and its core idea of the present utility model.
