[0037] The clamping guide member 2201 may be a functional member disposed on the side of the clamping carrier 2204 close to the battery module, capable of engaging with the battery module and guiding the clamping member 2202. The clamping member 2202 may be a functional member disposed on the sliding drive member 2203 and facing the battery module, capable of moving along the width direction of the support frame 110 under the action of the sliding drive member 2203, approaching opposite sides of the battery module, and synchronously clamping the opposite sides of the battery module. The sliding drive member 2203 may be a functional member disposed on the side of the clamping carrier 2204 facing away from the battery module and connected to the clamping member 2202, capable of providing a clamping drive function for the clamping member 2202 to drive the clamping member 2202 to slide relative to each other along the width direction of the support frame 110. The clamping support member 2204 may be a functional component connected to the clamping guide member 2201 and the sliding drive member 2203, capable of providing support for the clamping guide member 2201, the sliding drive member 2203, and the clamping member 2202 connected to the sliding drive member 2203. The sliding buffer member 2205 may be a functional component provided on the sliding drive member 2203, capable of providing a clamping drive function to the clamping member 2202 by the sliding drive member 2203, thereby buffering the relative sliding of the clamping member 2202 along the width direction of the support frame 110. Alternatively, the clamping guide member 2201 may be a guide post.

[0038] The clamping member 2202 includes a module clamping jaw 2202a, a clamping jaw mounting plate 2202b and a clamping jaw transfer vertical plate 2202c. A convex clamping jaw clamping head is provided at one end of the module clamping jaw 2202a, and the other end of the module clamping jaw 2202a is connected to the clamping jaw mounting plate 2202b.

[0039] The sliding drive component 2203 includes a push-pull clamp 2203a, a slider 2203b, a slide rail 2203c, a toggle clamp mounting plate 2203d, an toggle clamp connecting block 2203e and a slider connecting plate 2203f. The toggle clamp mounting plate 2203d is arranged on the clamping support 2204. One end of the push-pull clamp 2203a is connected to the toggle clamp mounting plate 2203d. The other end of the push-pull clamp 2203a is connected to the slider connecting plate 2203f through the toggle clamp connecting block 2203e.

The sliding part of the slider 2203b is slidably connected to the slide rail 2203c, and the non-sliding part of the slider 2203b is connected to the slider connecting plate 2203f.

[0041] Through the coordinated action of the clamping guide 2201, the clamping member 2202 and the sliding drive member 2203, when the clamping guide 2201 is engaged with the corresponding part or position of the battery module, the clamping member 2202, under the action of the sliding drive member 2203, approaches the opposite sides of the battery modules of different widths along the width direction of the support frame 110 until the opposite sides of the battery modules are clamped to meet the clamping requirements of battery modules of different widths; in addition, the sliding buffer member 2205 cooperates with the sliding drive member 2203 to provide a clamping drive for the clamping member 2202 to drive the clamping member 2202 to slide relative to the width direction of the support frame 110 for buffering, that is, while realizing the position constraint of the opposite sides of the battery module, it effectively improves the mutual interference of the clamping claw transfer plates 2202c set relatively in the clamping member 2202, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the clamping of the battery module by the clamping member 2202.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the adsorption assembly 210 includes an adsorption member 2110, an adsorption adjustment member 2120, an adsorption carrier 2130 and an adsorption guide member 2140. The adsorption member 2110 and the adsorption adjustment member 2120 are arranged on the adsorption carrier 2130. The adsorption member 2110 is connected to the adsorption adjustment member 2120. The adsorption member 2110 can approach and abut the middle of the battery module. The adsorption guide member 2140 is connected to the adsorption member 2110 and the adsorption carrier 2130. The adsorption guide member 2140 can constrain the movement range of the adsorption member 2110.

[0043] The adsorption member 2110 can be a functional component disposed on the side of the adsorption carrier 2130 close to the battery module and connected to the adsorption adjustment member 2120 and the adsorption guide member 2140. It can approach the middle of the battery module and adsorb the middle of the battery module, be regulated by the adsorption action of the adsorption adjustment member 2120, and have its movement restricted by the adsorption guide member 2140. The adsorption adjustment member 2120 can be a functional component disposed on the side of the adsorption carrier 2130 facing away from the battery module and connected to the adsorption member 2110, capable of adjusting the adsorption action of the adsorption member 2110 on the battery module. The adsorption carrier 2130 can be a functional component connected to the adsorption member 2110, the adsorption adjustment member 2120, and the adsorption guide member 2140, capable of providing support for the adsorption member 2110, the adsorption adjustment member 2120, and the adsorption guide member 2140. The adsorption guide 2140 may be a functional component disposed on a side of the adsorption carrier 2130 close to the battery module and connected to the adsorption member 2110 , capable of directionally constraining the movement of the adsorption member 2110 toward or away from the battery module.

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, the adsorption component 2110 includes a vacuum suction cup 2110a, a floating joint 2110b, a suction cup mounting plate 2110c, and an adsorption driver 2110d. The vacuum suction cup 2110a is provided on one side of the suction cup mounting plate 2110c, and the other side of the suction cup mounting plate 2110c is connected to the adsorption driver 2110d via the floating joint 2110b. The adsorption driver 2110d is connected to the air source, and the adsorption driver 2110d can drive the vacuum suction cup 2110a to approach and adsorb the middle of the battery module. The adsorption carrier 2130 includes an adsorption base plate 2130a and a pad 2130b. The pad 2130b is provided at both ends of the adsorption base plate 2130a. Optionally, the vacuum suction cup 2110a can be a sponge suction cup; the adsorption driver 2110d can be an adsorption cylinder.

[0045] It should be noted that when the adsorption component 2110 adsorbs the battery module, the suction cup mounting plate 2110c is connected to the vacuum suction cup 2110a at the bottom and the floating joint 2110b at the top, so that the vacuum suction cup 2110a can be driven to move up and down by the movement of the adsorption cylinder, thereby realizing that the adsorption component 2110 is close to or away from the battery module; in addition, the silencer is also arranged in the adsorption cylinder to reduce the noise during the mechanical operation of the adsorption component 2110.

[0046] The adsorption adjustment component 2120 includes a pressure regulating valve 2120a, a pressure sensor 2120b and a pressure regulating driver 2120c. The pressure regulating valve 2120a, the pressure sensor 2120b and the pressure regulating driver 2120c are arranged on the adsorption carrier 2130. One end of the pressure regulating valve 2120a is connected to the pressure sensor 2120b, and the other end of the pressure regulating valve 2120a is connected to the pressure regulating driver 2120c. The pressure sensor 2120b is connected to the vacuum suction cup 2110a.

[0047] The adsorption guide 2140 includes an adsorption guide shaft 2140a, an adsorption bearing 2140b, an adsorption end cover 2140c, an adsorption screw 2140d and an adsorption nut 2140e. One end of the adsorption guide shaft 2140a is connected to the adsorption mounting plate, and the other end of the adsorption guide shaft 2140a is passed through the adsorption supporting member 2130 and the adsorption bearing 2140b and is connected to the adsorption end cover 2140c; one end of the adsorption nut 2140e is connected to the adsorption mounting plate, and the other end of the adsorption nut 2140e is passed through the adsorption screw 2140d and is connected to the adsorption supporting member 2130.

[0048] It should be noted that an anti-collision pad can be provided on the vacuum suction cup 2110a to protect the vacuum suction cup 2110a from direct collision with the suction screw 2140d and thereby prevent damage. The suction bearing 2140b in the suction guide 2140 cooperates with the suction guide shaft 2140a to support the suction member 2110, reduce the coefficient of friction between the suction member 2110 and the suction guide 2140, improve the accuracy and stability of the relative motion between the two, and achieve motion guidance.

[0049] It should be noted that when the adsorption component 2110 adsorbs the battery module, the pressure regulating valve 2120a controls the presence or absence of suction of the vacuum suction cup 2110a, and the real-time vacuum degree can be obtained by observing the pressure sensor 2120b. The adsorption drive component adjusts the adsorption pulling force acting on the middle of the battery module through the pressure regulating driver 2120c. For example, the adsorption pulling force is adjusted to approximately one-third of the weight of the battery module after deducting the weight of the vacuum suction cup 2110a, so that the overall force on the battery module is uniform. The vacuum suction cup 2110a sucks the middle of the battery module, and cooperates with the clamping component 2202 on the opposite sides of the battery module to clamp the battery module, so that the overall force on the battery module is uniform, and at the same time improves the risk of the middle part of the battery module falling.

[0050] Through the coordinated action of the adsorption part 2110, the adsorption adjustment part 2120 and the adsorption guide part 2140, the adsorption part 2110 approaches or moves away from the middle of the battery module under the adsorption action and the direction constraint of the adsorption guide part 2140, and then adsorbs or stops adsorbing the middle of the battery module. In addition, the adsorption adjustment part 2120 cooperates to adjust the process of the adsorption part 2110 adsorbing the battery module, that is, while realizing the position constraint of the middle of the battery module, it effectively improves the problem of uneven force on the battery module caused by excessive adsorption action on the battery module and the problem of unstable adsorption caused by insufficient adsorption action on the battery module, thereby ensuring that the adsorption action of the adsorption part 2110 on the battery module and the clamping action of the clamping part 2202 on the battery module cooperate to evenly act on various parts of the battery module, keep the shape and structure of the battery module stable, and effectively ensure the stability and accuracy of the overall position constraint of the battery module.

[0051] It should be noted that when the length of the battery module that needs to be constrained in position is large, the adsorption component 210 in the limiting mechanism 20 adsorbs the middle part of the battery module, and the clamping component 220 also clamps the opposite sides of the battery module; when the length of the battery module that needs to be constrained in position is small, the adsorption component 210 in the limiting mechanism 20 is often limited to adsorb the middle part of the battery module to achieve position constraint of the battery module.

[0052] The transfer mechanism 30 is connected to the supporting mechanism 10 and can drive the battery module restricted by the limiting mechanism 20 to be transferred to a preset position.

[0053] When the battery module is transported, the adsorption component 210 in the limiting mechanism 20 provided on the support mechanism 10 approaches the middle of the battery module and adsorbs the middle of the battery module. The clamping component 220 also provided in the limiting mechanism 20 moves along the width direction of the support mechanism 10 and approaches the opposite sides of the battery module, and clamps the opposite sides of the battery module. After the adsorption component 210 and the clamping component 220 in the limiting mechanism 20 complete the limitation of the battery module, the transport mechanism 30 connected to the support mechanism 10 drives the support mechanism 10 and the limiting mechanism 20 for limiting the battery module to a preset position, that is, while effectively constraining the middle and opposite sides of battery modules of different sizes, the battery module is transported, effectively improving the problem of unstable clamping due to different sizes of battery modules during the transportation process, which causes the battery module to detach from the clamp. While improving the stability of the battery module transportation, the efficiency of the battery module transportation is improved, and the battery production accuracy is effectively guaranteed.

[0054] The present application also provides a processing device, which includes a battery module transfer device as described in the above embodiment.

[0055] The division of the various modules in the above-mentioned battery module transfer device is only for illustration. In other embodiments, the battery module transfer device can be divided into different modules as needed to complete all or part of the functions of the above-mentioned battery module transfer device.

[0056] The battery module transfer device and processing equipment provided by the above embodiments, when transferring the battery module, the adsorption component in the limiting mechanism provided on the support mechanism approaches the middle of the battery module and adsorbs the middle of the battery module, and the clamping component also provided in the limiting mechanism moves along the width direction of the support mechanism and approaches the opposite sides of the battery module, and clamps the opposite sides of the battery module. After the adsorption component and the clamping component in the limiting mechanism complete the limitation of the battery module, the transfer mechanism connected to the support mechanism drives the support mechanism and the limiting mechanism for limiting the battery module to transfer to a preset position, that is, while effectively constraining the middle and opposite sides of battery modules of different sizes, the battery module is transferred, effectively improving the problem of unstable clamping due to different sizes of battery modules during the transfer process, which causes the battery module to detach from the clamp, thereby improving the transfer stability of the battery module and improving the transfer efficiency of the battery module, effectively ensuring the battery production accuracy, and having important economic value and promotion and practical value.
