[0002] In the lithium battery production process, battery filling is one of the key processes, and its degree of automation and production efficiency directly affect the production capacity and quality of lithium batteries.

[0003] Currently, the traditional battery delivery structure has the following significant problems in the injection system:

[0004] Low pitch change efficiency: Most existing conveyor lines adopt a single pitch conveying mode. When subsequent processing techniques (such as liquid injection, testing, etc.) require batteries to be arranged at different pitches, the battery pitch needs to be adjusted one by one manually or by single-station machinery. Batch pitch change cannot be achieved, resulting in a delay in production rhythm.

[0005] Insufficient automation connection: There is a lack of an efficient variable-pitch transfer mechanism between the first and second conveyor lines. The robot can only perform simple handling functions and cannot be linked with the variable-pitch process. Manual intervention is required to adjust the battery arrangement, which increases human errors and labor intensity.

[0006] Limited production efficiency: The traditional structure relies on segmented operations, and multiple links from battery grabbing, spacing adjustment to secondary transportation need to be completed independently. The process is cumbersome and the equipment occupies a large area, which makes it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale automated production.

[0007] As the lithium battery industry's requirements for production capacity and precision increase, achieving batch-by-batch distance variation during battery conveyance, reducing manual intervention, and improving production line continuity have become pressing technical challenges. Therefore, designing an automated conveying structure capable of batch-by-batch distance variation between two conveyor lines is crucial for improving the production efficiency and intelligence of lithium battery filling systems.

[0011] The preferred technical solution is: the working end of the manipulator is provided with a gripper assembly, and the gripper assembly is used to grab or release multiple batteries in batches.

[0012] The preferred technical solution is: the clamping jaw assembly is composed of a plurality of clamping jaw cylinders, each clamping jaw cylinder is configured with two clamping jaws arranged opposite to each other, and the clamping jaw cylinder is used to drive the two clamping jaws to move toward or in opposite directions.

[0013] The preferred technical solution is: it also includes an in-position detection sensor and a distance measuring sensor, and the in-position detection sensor and the distance measuring sensor are both arranged on the clamping claw.

[0014] Material toggling mechanism, its both sides respectively have a cylinder pressure, and the cylinder pressure bar connects swing arm, and the swing arm end face has hook portion, and a bar passes position between the end of two swing arms and the hook portion.
