[0041] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2, the transplanting device provided in the embodiment of the present application is now described. The transplanting device provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a mounting frame 1, a suction component 2 and an anti-slip component 3. The suction component 2 is installed on the mounting frame 1, and the suction component 2 is used to suck the workpiece. The anti-slip component 3 includes a first driving member 31, a supporting member 32 and a limiting member 33, the limiting member 33 is connected to the supporting member 32, the supporting member 32 is used to support the workpiece, and the limiting member 33 is used to fix the workpiece, the first driving member 31 is installed on the mounting frame 1, and the first driving member 31 is transmission-connected to the supporting member 32 to drive the supporting member 32 to be located below the suction component 2 or drive the supporting member 32 to avoid the suction component 2.

[0042] The workpiece in the embodiment of the present application may be a battery cell, a battery module or other workpiece to be transplanted.

[0043] The suction component 2 can be a suction cup.

[0044] There may be two anti-slip components 3 , one located on each side of the suction component 2 .

[0045] The first driving member 31 can be a rotary cylinder or a rotary motor. Taking the rotary cylinder as an example, the rotary cylinder is installed on the mounting frame 1, and the transmission shaft of the rotary cylinder is in transmission connection with the supporting member 32 to drive the supporting member 32 to rotate.

[0046] The first driving member 31 can also be a linear motor or a cylinder. Taking a linear motor as an example, the linear motor is installed on the mounting frame 1 , and the transmission shaft of the linear motor is in transmission connection with the supporting member 32 .

[0047] The stopper 33 may be a magnetic member disposed on the stopper 33 to attract the workpiece and prevent the workpiece from being thrown out during the transfer process due to inertia being greater than the suction force of the suction assembly 2. The stopper 33 can further secure the workpiece and improve the stability of the workpiece during transfer.

[0048] The first driving member 31 drives the supporting member 32 to be staggered with the suction component 2 to avoid the suction component 2. After the suction component 2 sucks the workpiece, the first driving member 31 of the anti-slip component 3 drives the supporting member 32 to be located under the workpiece sucked by the suction component 2 to support the workpiece. After the transfer device transfers the workpiece to another workstation, the first driving member 31 of the anti-slip component 3 drives the supporting member 32 to be staggered with the suction component 2, and the suction component 2 releases the workpiece to another workstation. In this way, the workpiece is prevented from falling due to power outage, gas outage or the gravity of the workpiece being greater than the suction force of the suction cup, thereby reducing the breakage rate of the workpiece.

[0049] The limiting member 33 includes a first limiting portion 331 and a second limiting portion 332 . The first limiting portion 331 and the second limiting portion 332 are both connected to the supporting member 32 to form a limiting groove for accommodating a workpiece.

[0050] The first limiting portion 331 and the second limiting portion 332 are both plate-shaped and can respectively abut against opposite surfaces of the workpiece, and the side surfaces of the first limiting portion 331 and the second limiting portion 332 abutting against the workpiece are perpendicular to the transfer direction of the workpiece.

[0051] Preferably, the first limiting portion 331 and the second limiting portion 332 respectively abut against two adjacent side surfaces of the workpiece.

[0052] When one anti-slip assembly 3 is provided, two first limiting portions 331 and two second limiting portions 332 can be provided, respectively abutting against the four side surfaces of the workpiece. When two anti-slip assemblies 3 are provided, one first limiting portion 331 and one second limiting portion 332 are provided on the supporting member 32. The first limiting portion 331 and the second limiting portion 332 on one anti-slip assembly 3 abut against two adjacent side surfaces of the workpiece, while the first limiting portion 331 and the second limiting portion 332 on the other anti-slip assembly 3 abut against the other two adjacent side surfaces of the workpiece. In this way, the four side surfaces of the workpiece are limited to prevent the workpiece from being thrown out during transplantation.

[0053] The anti-slip component 3 also includes an adjusting member and a connecting member 34, the connecting member 34 is transmission-connected to the first driving member 31, the adjusting member is connected to the connecting member 34, the adjusting member is connected to the supporting member 32, and the adjusting member is used to adjust the distance between the supporting member 32 and the suction component 2.

[0054] Due to the varying thicknesses of different workpieces, if the workpiece thickness is greater than the distance between the support member 32 and the suction assembly 2, the support member 32 may interfere with the workpiece. If the workpiece thickness is less than the distance between the support member 32 and the suction assembly 2, the workpiece may fall due to insufficient suction force from the suction assembly 2, a gas or power outage, or other reasons. If the support member 32 is too far from the workpiece, the workpiece may fall onto the support member 32 and be damaged.

[0055] The adjusting member can adjust the distance between the supporting member 32 and the suction assembly 2 according to the thickness of the workpiece, thereby preventing the workpiece from interfering with the supporting member 32 and reducing the damage rate of the workpiece.

[0056] The adjusting member can be a cylinder, an electric cylinder or a linear motor. Taking the linear motor as an example, the driving shaft of the linear motor is connected to the supporting member 32 to drive the supporting member 32 to move towards or away from the suction assembly 2.

[0057] Preferably, the adjusting member includes a connecting portion 35 and a fixing portion, the supporting member 32 is connected to the connecting member 34 through the connecting portion 35, the connecting portion 35 is provided with an adjusting hole 351 for adjusting the distance between the supporting member 32 and the suction component 2, the connecting member 34 is provided with a connecting hole, the fixing portion is passed through the adjusting hole 351 and connected to the connecting hole to fix the distance between the supporting member 32 and the suction component 2.

[0058] The connecting portion 35 may be plate-shaped or block-shaped, and the adjustment holes 351 may include a plurality of through-holes disposed on the connecting portion 35, arranged parallel to the direction of suction of the suction assembly 2. Different through-holes may be selected based on the thickness of the workpiece. The fixing portion is then inserted into the selected through-holes and the connecting hole, thereby fixing the distance between the support member 32 and the suction assembly 2.

[0059] Preferably, the adjustment hole 351 is a waist-shaped hole, and the fixing portion is passed through the adjustment hole 351 and is threadedly connected to the connecting hole to fix the distance between the supporting member 32 and the suction assembly 2 .

[0060] The length direction of the waist-shaped hole is parallel to the suction direction of the suction component 2.

[0061] The fixing portion can be a bolt or a screw, preferably a bolt. For example, a bolt is inserted into the waist-shaped hole and threadedly connected to the connecting hole. To adjust the distance between the support member 32 and the suction assembly 2, the bolt is loosened so that the head of the bolt does not contact the edge of the waist-shaped hole. The distance between the support member 32 and the suction assembly 2 is adjusted based on the workpiece thickness. The bolt is then tightened so that the head of the bolt contacts the edge of the waist-shaped hole to fix the distance between the support member 32 and the suction assembly 2. This distance adjustment method is less expensive and lighter than adjustment driven by a linear motor.

[0062] See also Figure 3 The transplanting device further includes a pushing component 4, which is mounted on the mounting frame 1 and is used to push the workpiece so that the workpiece is aligned with other workpieces.

[0063] When the workpiece is moved to another workstation, it may be stacked with other workpieces. Therefore, it is necessary to align the workpiece with the other stacked workpieces to prevent the workpiece from being misaligned with the other stacked workpieces, resulting in uneven force on the entire stacked workpiece, or to prevent the workpiece from being misaligned with the other stacked workpieces and making it inconvenient to process.

[0064] The stacked workpieces are generally placed in a trough. When the pushing component 4 pushes the workpiece to align with other workpieces, the workpiece is pushed to abut against a side of the trough away from the pushing component 4 to align the workpiece with other workpieces.

[0065] The pushing component 4 can be a linear motor or a cylinder. Taking the cylinder as an example, the driving shaft of the cylinder can abut against the side wall of the workpiece to push the workpiece.

[0066] Preferably, the pushing assembly 4 includes a second driving member 41 and an abutment member 42, the second driving member 41 is installed on the mounting frame 1, the second driving member 41 is transmission-connected to the abutment member 42 to drive the abutment member 42 toward or away from the workpiece, and the abutment member 42 is used to abut against the side wall of the workpiece.

[0067] The second driving member 41 can be a linear motor, a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder. The abutting member 42 can be in the shape of a plate or a block.

[0068] The abutment member 42 can increase the force-bearing surface of the workpiece, thereby preventing the workpiece from being damaged due to excessive force on a local part of the workpiece.

[0069] The abutment member 42 is provided with a contoured groove 421 , and the side wall of the workpiece can be engaged with the contoured groove 421 .

[0070] The contoured groove 421 increases the contact surface between the abutment member 42 and the side wall of the workpiece, further preventing the workpiece from being damaged due to excessive force on the local side wall of the workpiece.

[0071] The transplanting device further includes a buffer member, which is arranged between the mounting frame and the suction assembly 2.

[0072] The buffer member can be a spring or elastic silicone provided between the mounting frame and the suction assembly 2. When the suction assembly 2 sucks the workpiece, the buffer member can be compressed to prevent the suction assembly 2 from pressing too much force on the workpiece, thereby damaging the workpiece.

[0073] The transplanting device further includes a pressure detection member 5 , which is disposed on the suction assembly 2 to detect the pressure between the suction assembly 2 and the workpiece.

[0074] The pressure detection component 5 may be a pressure sensor or a pressure gauge, which controls the suction force between the suction component 2 and the workpiece by detecting the pressure between the suction component 2 and the workpiece.

[0075] The transplanting device further includes a visual positioning member 6 , which is mounted on the mounting frame 1 to position the workpiece.

[0076] The visual positioning component 6 can include a vision unit and a distance measuring unit. The vision unit is used to determine the specific position of the workpiece, and the distance measuring unit is used to determine the distance between the workpiece and the suction device. The vision unit can be a 3D camera or a CCD camera, and the distance measuring unit can be a laser rangefinder or a digital rangefinder. The visual positioning component 6 can improve the accuracy of the suction assembly 2 in sucking the workpiece.

[0077] See also Figure 4 The transplanting device also includes a moving component 7, which is connected to the mounting frame 1 to drive the suction component 2 and the anti-slip component 3 to move back and forth between the two workstations.

[0078] The moving component 7 can be a moving manipulator or a linear module.

[0079] An embodiment of the present application also provides a production device, including the transplanting device described above.
