[0027] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure and technical effects of the present invention in combination with the embodiments and drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, characteristics and effects of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, other embodiments obtained by technical personnel in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, all the connection / connection relationships involved in the patent do not refer to the direct connection of components, but refer to the fact that a better connection structure can be formed by adding or reducing connection accessories according to the specific implementation situation. The various technical features in the creation of the present invention can be combined interactively without conflicting with each other.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 3 An example of the present invention provides a battery cell cache pairing device, which includes a storage mechanism 1, a pairing cache mechanism 2 and a waste collection mechanism 3.

[0029] Functionally, the storage mechanism 1 is used to store battery cells to be paired, the pairing cache mechanism 2 is used to pair and cache the battery cells stored on the storage mechanism 1, and the waste collection mechanism 3 is used to transfer and collect unqualified battery cells.

[0030] Specifically, the storage mechanism 1 includes a first frame 11, a fixed platform 12 arranged on the first frame 11, and several clamping components 13 arranged on the fixed platform 12. The several clamping components 13 are arranged in sequence. The clamping components 13 are used to clamp the battery cells to be paired. An opening is provided in the middle of the fixed platform 12.

[0031] Furthermore, the paired cache mechanism 2 is located below the fixed platform 12, and includes a second frame 21, a mobile platform 22 movably arranged on the second frame 21, a linear module 23 for driving the mobile platform 22 to move horizontally, a first jacking component 24 and several second jacking components 25 arranged on the mobile platform 22. The first jacking component 24 and the several second jacking components 25 are arranged in sequence and correspond one by one to the several clamping components 13 respectively. The first jacking component 24 is used to jack unqualified battery cells, and the second jacking component 25 is used to jack cache battery cells.

[0032] Furthermore, the scrap collection mechanism 3 is arranged on one side of the second frame 21, including a scrap storage bin 31 and a transfer assembly 32. The transfer assembly 32 is located between the second frame 21 and the scrap storage bin 31. The transfer assembly 32 is used to transfer the unqualified battery cells on the first jacking assembly 24 to the scrap storage bin 31.

[0033] During operation, a manipulator (not shown in the figure) places several battery cells to be paired on several clamping assemblies 13 on the fixed platform 12 respectively, and several clamping assemblies 13 clamp several battery cells to be paired respectively. At the same time, no battery cells are stored on the first lifting assembly 24 on the mobile platform 22, and cache battery cells are placed on the second lifting assembly 25. Then, a detection mechanism (not shown in the figure) detects whether each battery cell to be paired on the fixed platform 12 is qualified. When it is detected that the battery cell on the fixed platform 12 is unqualified, the linear module 23 drives the mobile platform 22 to move horizontally to drive the first lifting assembly 24 to move to the bottom of the unqualified battery cell. Then, the corresponding clamping assembly 13 releases the unqualified battery cell. At the same time, the first lifting assembly 24 lifts the unqualified battery cell, and then The first jacking component 24 drives the unqualified battery cells to descend, and the linear module 23 drives the mobile platform 22 to move horizontally to drive the first jacking component 24 to move to one side of the transfer component 32. The transfer component 32 transfers the unqualified battery cells on the first jacking component 24 to the waste storage bin 31. At the same time, the linear module 23 drives the mobile platform 22 to move horizontally to drive the corresponding cache battery cells on the second jacking component 25 to move to the bottom of the vacant clamping component 13. The corresponding second jacking component 25 jacks the corresponding cache battery cells. At the same time, the clamping component 13 clamps the corresponding cache battery cells. Finally, the second jacking component 25 descends, thereby realizing automatic waste discharge, caching and pairing of the battery cells, reducing the labor intensity of workers, improving production efficiency, and improving the accuracy of pairing.

[0037] Furthermore, the second lifting assembly 25 includes a lifting plate 251 and a third cylinder 252 for driving the lifting plate 251 to rise and fall. The lifting plate 251 is located on the mobile platform 22, and the third cylinder 252 is fixed to the bottom of the mobile platform 22. The third cylinder 252 drives the lifting plate 251 to rise and fall to drive the cache battery cells on the lifting plate 251 to fill the vacant positions of the clamping assembly 13. It has a simple structure, low cost, and is easy to implement.

[0038] Furthermore, limiting blocks 253 are provided on both sides of the lifting plate 251. The limiting blocks 253 are used to limit the sides of the battery cells, so that the battery cells can be accurately positioned and the accuracy of battery cell pairing can be improved.
