[0053] The working principle of the present utility model:

[0054] The present utility model can achieve high-efficiency and high-precision flipping of products, has horizontal flipping and horizontal swinging functions, can complete cell capping at one time, can efficiently avoid the manipulator, effectively improve the efficiency, and has a high equipment space utilization rate.

[0055] Setting the total flipping assembly 1 can achieve the horizontal flipping of the flipping frame 2, and realize the 180-degree flipping of the first clamping arm 3 and the second clamping arm 5 around the rotation axis of the total flipping assembly 1. Setting the first flipping mechanism 4 and the second flipping mechanism 6 can achieve the angular swinging of the first clamping arm 3 and the second clamping arm 5 at 90 degrees or 180 degrees horizontally, so that the first clamping arm 3 and the second clamping arm 5 are misaligned in the projection direction, effectively avoiding collision with the picking or placing manipulator.

[0056] In this embodiment, the total flipping assembly 1 includes a driving motor, which is connected to the flipping frame 2 through a rotating shaft. Among them, a bearing structure is sleeved on the rotating shaft. In this embodiment, two bearing structures are sleeved on the rotating shaft, effectively improving the rotational accuracy of the rotating shaft. The two bearing structures are coaxially arranged on the bearing seat 11. The flipping frame 2 rotates around the rotating shaft, driving both the first clamping arm 3 and the second clamping arm 5 to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft, enabling a 180-degree flip, that is, flipping the front and back sides of the battery cell. The first clamping arm 3 and the second clamping arm 5 are adapted in shape and size, and both the first clamping arm 3 and the second clamping arm 5 can clamp the battery cell. In this embodiment, the three first limit movable members 31 of the first clamping arm 3 are all movable, and one first limit fixing member 32 close to the flipping frame 2 is fixedly arranged. Specifically, the two first short-side limit members 311 are respectively movably connected to the first long-side limit member 312 through corresponding first connecting members. When the first long-side limit member 312 moves closer to the first backing plate 14, it can cause the two first short-side limit members 311 to move closer to the first backing plate 14 synchronously, thereby clamping the battery cell. Similarly, when the first long-side limit member 312 moves away from the first backing plate 14, it can cause the two first short-side limit members 311 to move away from the first backing plate 14 synchronously, thereby loosening the battery cell. The position of the first backing plate 14 is for placing the battery cell, which has the functions of positioning and limiting the battery cell.

Specifically, the two second short-side limit members 511 are respectively movably connected to the second long-side limit member 512 through corresponding second connecting members. When the second long-side limit member 512 moves closer to the second backing plate, it can cause the two second short-side limit members 511 to move closer to the second backing plate synchronously, thereby clamping the battery cell. Similarly, when the second long-side limit member 512 moves away from the second backing plate, it can cause the two second short-side limit members 511 to move away from the second backing plate synchronously, thereby loosening the battery cell. The first long-side limit member 312 is driven by the first driving member 7 to reciprocate back and forth along the direction of the first backing plate 14, and the second long-side limit member 512 is driven by the second driving member 8 to reciprocate back and forth along the direction of the second backing plate. The first backing plate 14 and the second backing plate have the same shape and structure.

The first clamping arm 3 can swing horizontally with the vertical line passing through the center of the top surface of the turnover frame 2 as the axis, and the second clamping arm 5 can swing horizontally with the vertical line passing through the center of the bottom surface of the turnover frame 2 as the axis. The first turnover mechanism 4 includes a first reduction gear 12 and a first turnover motor. The first reduction gear 12 is arranged on the turnover frame 2, and the first turnover motor is connected to the reduction gear and can drive the first clamping arm 3 to swing horizontally. The second turnover mechanism 6 includes a second reduction gear 13 and a second turnover motor. The second reduction gear 13 is arranged at the bottom of the turnover frame 2, and the second turnover motor is connected to the reduction gear and can drive the second clamping arm 5 to swing horizontally.

[0058] The technical means disclosed in the solution of the present utility model are not limited to the technical means disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features.
