Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of battery transfer equipment, in particular to a battery assembly transfer mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of batteries, the batteries need to be transported to different processing positions through fixtures for multi-process processing. However, due to the space limitation of the fixtures, when switching between different processes in battery production, the manipulator of the next process usually cannot directly grasp the battery from the fixture. Therefore, a transfer device needs to be added between the processes. However, many current transfer devices have unreasonable structures, resulting in inconsistent distances and uneven arrangements of the batteries in the battery module, making it impossible to accurately position the batteries, which will affect the accurate grasping of the manipulator in the subsequent process and even lead to poor processing or damage of the batteries.

[0003] For example, in the Chinese invention patent with the publication number CN113459872A and the name of a battery transfer and transmission device and a battery swapping station, it includes a battery transfer mechanism, a battery transmission mechanism, and a fire box. The battery transfer mechanism includes a transfer platform, a frame, and a lifting device. The transfer platform is provided with a first transmission unit and a second transmission unit. Although this battery transfer and transmission device is convenient to use and has a low cost, the device only has a unit for transporting batteries and lacks the function of adjusting the position of the batteries. When the battery is transported to the placement position, it is inevitable that the battery is different from the preset battery placement position or cannot completely align with the battery placement frame, and there is still a gap between the battery and the placement frame, making it impossible to accurately grasp the battery that has been transported to the battery placement position through the gripper.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a transportation device that can adjust the batteries with offset positions to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model
