It is an important means to improve production efficiency; the production of battery trays includes processes such as contour milling mechanism, grooving mechanism, drilling and tapping mechanism, side groove milling mechanism, cleaning mechanism, etc. Currently, for the production of battery trays, the existing equipment on the market is used, and each mechanism operates independently.It requires transitional equipment or manual operations to transfer from one process to another, resulting in a long production time (including transfer time) required for each process and low efficiency. Chinese Patent CN208826150U discloses an automatic conveying mechanism for battery trays in a battery tray continuous production line, which is characterized by including a battery tray clamping assembly, a loading mechanism, and a unloading mechanism located at both ends of the longitudinal direction of the battery tray clamping assembly. The loading mechanism includes a material frame for placing battery trays. The material frame is a frame structure with an upper opening formed by a first side frame, a second side frame, a third side frame, and a fourth side frame. The first side frame and the third side frame are arranged in parallel in the transverse direction of the bracket, and the second side frame and the fourth side frame are arranged in parallel in the longitudinal direction of the bracket. An arc-shaped handle is provided on the first upper border of the first side frame. The third side frame includes a third lower border, a third upper border, and two third side borders. A vertical frame is provided between the two third side borders. On the opposite surfaces of the second side frame and the fourth side frame, a horizontal frame protruding from its surface is provided respectively. The upper end surface of the horizontal frame is a flat surface for carrying the battery tray; a lifting mechanism for lifting the height of the battery tray in the material frame, including a lifting base. The lifting base includes a lifting vertical plate. At least two parallel lifting guide rails are arranged on the end surface of the lifting vertical plate close to the material frame. A lifting slider is provided on the lifting guide rail. The lifting slider is fixedly connected to a fork. There are two forks, and the forks are inserted into the material frame from both sides of the vertical frame and are located below the horizontal frame. A lifting cylinder mounting seat is fixed at the upper end of the lifting vertical plate. A lifting cylinder is mounted on the lifting cylinder mounting seat. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder is connected to a fork substrate; a battery tray pushing cylinder erected above the material frame through an auxiliary bracket. The battery tray pushing cylinder is used to push the battery tray from the material frame to the battery tray clamping assembly. The battery tray pushing cylinder is connected to a push head, and the lower end surface of the push head is in clearance fit with the upper end surface of the second side frame; the unloading mechanism and the loading mechanism are symmetrically installed at both ends of the battery tray clamping assembly; the battery tray clamping assembly includes a clamping substrate. On the upper end surface of the clamping substrate, a first bracket and a second bracket extending in the longitudinal direction are provided. Notches for the battery tray to move in the longitudinal direction are provided on the opposite surfaces of the first bracket and the second bracket. The notches are composed of a first vertical surface and a first horizontal surface extending in the longitudinal direction on the first bracket and the second bracket.
