Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments

[0019] The following is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and does not limit the protection scope of the present utility model accordingly.

[0020] Embodiment: A battery suction cup assembly tool with a clamping structure, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, includes a chassis 1, a control panel 101, universal wheels 2, a workbench 3, a moving component, a support frame 9, a first cylinder 10, a sponge suction cup 11, a second cylinder 16, and a support plate 17. The control panel 101 is installed on the front side of the chassis 1. The workbench 3 is connected to the top of the chassis 1. Universal wheels 2 for assisting the movement of the device are symmetrically installed on the front and back sides of the left and right sides of the bottom of the chassis 1. A moving component is provided on the top of the chassis 1. The support frame 9 is connected to the moving component. The first cylinder 10 is installed on the support frame 9. A sponge suction cup 11 for adsorbing the battery is connected to the telescopic rod of the first cylinder 10. A clamping component is also provided on the sponge suction cup 11, which can adsorb and clamp the battery. The second cylinder 16 is installed on the front side of the support frame 9. A support plate 17 for supporting the battery is connected to the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 16. The second cylinder 16 and the first cylinder 10 are both electrically connected to the control panel 101.

[0021] As Figure 1 shown, the moving component includes an electric slide rail 7 and a sliding frame 8. The electric slide rails 7 are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the top of the chassis 1 by bolts. The electric slide rails 7 are electrically connected to the control panel 101. A sliding frame 8 is slidably connected between the electric slide rails 7. The support frame 9 is connected to the sliding frame 8.

[0022] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, it further includes a motor 12, a screw rod 13, a limiting rod 14, a movable frame 15, and a correction component. The motor 12 is installed on the rear side of the support frame 9 by bolts. The motor 12 is a double-shaft motor. Screw rods 13 are connected to the output shafts on both sides of the motor 12. The limiting rod 14 is welded to the bottom of the motor 12. Movable frames 15 are threadedly connected to the screw rods 13. The movable frames 15 are L-shaped and are used to correct the position of the battery in the Y-axis direction. The movable frames 15 are slidably connected to the limiting rod 14 on the same side. A correction component is provided on the workbench 3.

[0023] As Figure 2 shown, the correction component includes a slide table cylinder 4, a slider 5, and a guide frame 6. Two slide table cylinders 4 are installed on the bottom of the workbench 3 by bolts. Sliders 5 are slidably connected to the two slide table cylinders 4. A guide frame 6 is connected between the sliders 5. The guide frame 6 is slidably and interpenetratingly matched with the workbench 3. The guide frame 6 is U-shaped, and inclined surfaces are provided on the inner sides for correcting the position of the battery in the X-axis direction.

[0024] A placement plate specially used for placing battery packs is provided on the front side of the workbench 3. When assembling the battery, the battery pack is first placed on the placement plate, and then the battery is transported to the workbench 3 by the equipment. The operator starts the slide cylinder 4 through the control panel 101, and the slide cylinder 4 drives the slider 5 and the guide frame 6 to move upward, and the inclined surface on the inner side of the guide frame 6 contacts the battery, thereby correcting the battery in the X-axis direction. Then the motor 12 is started, and the output shaft of the motor 12 rotates to drive the screw 13 to rotate, thereby causing the movable frame 15 to move inward along the limit rod 14. The position of the movable frame 15 is precisely controlled according to the length of the battery, and the movable frame 15 corrects the Y-axis direction of the battery so that it can align with the sponge suction cup 11. When the battery is corrected, the slide cylinder 4 and the motor 12 are controlled to run in the opposite direction, driving the guide frame 6 and the movable frame 15 to reset, and then the first cylinder 10 is started, and the telescopic rod of the first cylinder 10 extends, driving the sponge suction cup 11 to move downward. The operator presses the suction button to start the function of the sponge suction cup 11, and the battery is sucked by vacuum. The sponge suction cup 11 needs to be connected to an external vacuum pump and connected to the control panel 101, and equipped with an electronic control system. The clamping tool on the sponge suction cup 11 can clamp the battery. After the sponge suction cup 11 adsorbs and fixes the battery, the telescopic rod of the first cylinder 10 is controlled to shorten and reset, and the sponge suction cup 11 is driven to be lifted together with the adsorbed battery. In order to prevent the battery from falling during transportation, the operator starts the second cylinder 16 through the control panel 101. The telescopic rod of the second cylinder 16 extends, driving the pallet 17 to move to the rear side. The pallet 17 moves to the bottom of the battery and can cover the bottom of the battery. Then, by controlling the electric slide rail 7, the sliding frame 8 is driven to move in the direction of the placement plate, and then the sponge suction cup 11 is driven to move together with the battery to the top of the battery pack, and then the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 16 is controlled to shorten and reset, driving the pallet 17 to move to the front side and reset, releasing the bottom protection. The first cylinder 10 is controlled to drive the sponge suction cup 11 downward to bring the battery and the battery pack closer together, and the sponge suction cup 11 is closed to lock the battery and the battery pack together. After the battery is put into the box, the relevant components are restored to the initial state for the next operation.
