Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] Example 1:
[0025] See also Figure 1-2As shown, the present invention is a foam placing mechanism for battery packing, comprising a foam supporting assembly 1 vertically arranged on one side of a conventional battery conveyor line in the art, and a horizontal rotating assembly 2 installed on the battery conveyor line; a pair of lifting assemblies 3 corresponding to the foam supporting assembly 1 are vertically connected side by side to the horizontal rotating assembly 2; and a foam grabbing assembly 4 is connected to the lower portion of each lifting assembly 3. When in use, multiple foams are stacked on the foam supporting assembly 1, and then the horizontal rotating assembly 2 drives the lifting assembly 3 to rotate horizontally, so that one lifting assembly 3 is directly above the foam supporting assembly 1 and the other lifting assembly 3 is directly above the battery conveyor line. The lifting assembly 3 drives the grabbing assembly 4 on it to move downward and use the grabbing assembly 4 to grab a foam on the foam supporting assembly 1.

At the same time, the foam carrying component 1 drives the foam on it to move upward by a distance of the foam thickness, and then a carton is transported to the bottom of a lifting component 3 through the battery conveyor line, and then the two lifting components 3 drive the grabbing components 4 on it to move downward at the same time, prompting a grabbing component 4 to put a foam into the carton and the other grabbing component 4 to grab a foam on the foam carrying component 1. After one grabbing component 4 releases the foam on it, the two grabbing components 4 are reset synchronously, and the above operation is repeated, thereby realizing the foam release processing of multiple cartons, which not only effectively improves the foam release efficiency, but also ensures the battery packing efficiency, while also reducing the labor intensity of workers.

When in use, by stacking multiple foams on the bearing plate 102, when each foam is taken away, the first motor 103 drives the bearing plate 102 to move upward a distance of the thickness of the foam through the screw 105, thereby ensuring the foam supply efficiency.
[0028] Example 3:
[0029] Based on Example 2, Figure 4 As shown, the horizontal rotation assembly 2 includes a first mounting block 201 and a second mounting block 202 which are respectively bolted to opposite sides of the battery conveyor line, and the first mounting block 201 is arranged on the side of the battery conveyor line away from the foam bearing assembly 1; the upper surface of the first mounting block 201 is vertically bolted to the second motor 203; the output shaft gap of the second motor 203 passes through the first mounting block 201 and is keyed to the first pulley 204; the second mounting block 202 is vertically rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 205; the lower end of the rotating shaft 205 is keyed to the second pulley 206; the second pulley 206 is connected to the first pulley 2 04 are connected by a synchronous belt transmission; the upper end of the rotating shaft 205 is horizontally fixed with a swinging slat 207; the lifting assembly 3 includes a first cylinder 301 vertically bolted to the upper surface of the end of the swinging slat 207; the output end of the first cylinder 301 slides through the swinging slat 207; the foam grabbing assembly 4 includes a negative pressure seat 401 bolted to the output end of the first cylinder 301; the interior of the negative pressure seat 401 has a negative pressure chamber; the lower surface of the negative pressure seat 401 is vertically connected to multiple conventional negative pressure suction nozzles 402 in the field, each of which is connected to the negative pressure chamber.

[0030] Example 4:
[0031] Based on Example 3 Figure 4-6As shown, in order to ensure the accurate rotation of the rotating shaft 205, a positioning assembly 5 is connected to the rotating shaft 205; the positioning assembly 5 includes a mounting sleeve 501 fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 205 and a second cylinder 502 connected to one side of the battery conveyor line by a horizontal bolt; a paddle 503 is welded vertically along the radial direction on the outer wall of the mounting sleeve 501; the telescopic direction of the output end of the second cylinder 502 is parallel to the conveying direction of the battery conveyor line; the output end of the second cylinder 502 is connected to a push-pull slat 504 by a horizontal bolt; the push-pull slat 504 is arranged close to the rotating shaft 205 On one side near the first mounting block 201; a pair of connecting strips 505 are vertically welded side by side on one side of the push-pull slat 504 close to the rotating shaft 205; a first positioning piece 506 is vertically welded to one end of one connecting strip 505 away from the push-pull slat 504, and a second positioning piece 507 parallel to the first positioning piece 506 is vertically welded to one end of the other connecting strip 505 away from the push-pull slat 504; the side of the first positioning piece 506 away from the battery conveyor line and the side of the second positioning piece 507 close to the battery conveyor line can respectively fit with one side of the paddle 503. During use, when one lifting component 3 is directly above the foam supporting component 1 and the other lifting component 3 is directly above the battery conveyor line, the side of the first positioning piece 506 away from the battery conveyor line is in contact with the side of the paddle 503. When the two lifting components 3 need to be rotated, the second cylinder 502 drives the first positioning piece 506 and the second positioning piece 507 to move linearly synchronously through the push-pull strips 504 and the connecting strips 505, causing the first positioning piece 506 to move away from the rotating shaft 205 and the second positioning piece 507 to move close to the rotating shaft 205, and then the two lifting components 3 are driven to rotate horizontally synchronously through the rotating shaft 205. When the second positioning piece 507 is close to the side of the battery conveyor line and is in contact with the side of the paddle 503, the lifting component 3 is just rotated 180°, thereby realizing the rotation positioning of the rotating shaft 205, ensuring that the foam is accurately placed in the carton.
