For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances. In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the energy storage battery automatic installation equipment 100 of the present invention includes a battery picking and placing component 1 for picking and placing an energy storage battery 200, a detection component arranged on the battery picking and placing component 1, a self-moving device 4 for driving the battery picking and placing component 1 to move, a plurality of electric cylinders 5 connected between the self-moving device 4 and the battery picking and placing component 1, and a protective shell 6 fixed on the battery picking and placing component 1 for protecting an industrial camera 3 and a rangefinder 2.

[0024] The battery access component 1 includes a support plate 11, an upper cover plate 12 located above the support plate 11, a connecting column 13 connecting the support plate 11 and the upper cover plate 12, a guide rail 14 fixedly provided on the support plate 11 for sliding the energy storage battery 200, and a driving component 15 for driving the energy storage battery 200 to move along the guide rail 14.

[0025] The support plate 11, upper cover plate 12, and connecting column 13 enclose a housing space, and the energy storage battery 200 is disposed within the housing space. One end of the housing space has an opening for the energy storage battery 200 to enter and exit. The opening is disposed toward the container cluster frame, allowing the energy storage battery 200 to be moved to or removed from the container cluster frame.

[0026] The driving assembly 15 can push or pull the energy storage battery 200 to move along the guide rail 14 to push the energy storage battery 200 into the container cluster rack or remove it from the container cluster rack.

[0027] The detection component is used to detect the position and / or state of the location where the energy storage battery needs to be installed or removed. The detection component is a rangefinder 2 and / or an industrial camera 3.

[0028] In this embodiment, the detection components are a rangefinder 2 and an industrial camera 3 .

[0029] There are four rangefinders 2 , two of which are fixedly arranged below the support plate 11 , and the other two are fixedly arranged above the upper cover plate 12 .

[0030] The rangefinders 2 are both arranged at one end close to the opening, and the two rangefinders 2 arranged below the support plate 11 are located on both sides of the support plate 11 , and the two rangefinders 2 arranged above the upper cover plate 12 are located on both sides of the upper cover plate 12 .

[0031] In this embodiment, the rangefinder 2 is a laser rangefinder 2, and is respectively arranged at the four corners of the opening to detect the distance between the opening of the battery access component 1 and the container cluster frame. In this embodiment, when installing or removing the energy storage battery 200, it is necessary to ensure that the distances between the four corners of the opening and the container cluster frame are equal.

[0032] The industrial camera 3 is fixedly disposed above the support plate 11 and is located on a side close to the opening. There are two industrial cameras 3 , which are located on both sides of the support plate 11 .

[0033] The industrial camera 3 captures images of the container cluster rack to identify the location where installation is required.

[0034] The industrial camera 3 cooperates with the rangefinder 2 to accurately locate the position where the battery needs to be installed, which facilitates the subsequent operation of the battery pick-and-place component 1.

[0035] The protective housing 6 covers the outside of the industrial camera 3 and the rangefinder 2 , but exposes the lenses of the industrial camera 3 and the rangefinder 2 .

[0036] In other embodiments, only one of the rangefinder 2 or the industrial camera 3 may be set. When only the rangefinder 2 is set, there are multiple rangefinders 2, and the positions along the front and back and left and right are different. The offset angle at which the energy storage battery is installed or removed is calculated by obtaining the distance data.

[0037] When only the industrial camera 3 is provided, the offset angle and distance at which the energy storage battery is installed or removed are calculated by an image algorithm.

[0038] The plurality of electric cylinders 5 are used to adjust the angle of the battery pick-and-place component 1 .

[0039] Furthermore, the number of the electric cylinders 5 is six, and the connection points of any three of the electric cylinders 5 with the battery access component 1 are not collinear. By providing six electric cylinders 5, the six degrees of freedom of the battery access component 1 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the posture of the battery access component 1 to achieve access to the energy storage battery 200.

[0040] The self-propelled device 4 is an AGV forklift, which includes a vertical slide rail 41, a mounting member 42 slidable relative to the vertical slide rail 41, an electrical control box 43, and a power supply 44 for supplying power to the electrical control box 43 and the electric cylinder 5. The battery access unit 1 is fixedly connected to the mounting member 42 via the electric cylinder 5. The electrical control box 43 is electrically connected to the electric cylinder 5, the industrial camera 3, and the rangefinder 2.

[0041] The AGV forklift can move horizontally to the position where the energy storage battery 200 needs to be installed or removed, and then the mounting part 42 moves to the corresponding height relative to the vertical slide rail 41; the industrial camera 3 and the rangefinder 2 cooperate to find the exact position where the energy storage battery 200 needs to be installed or removed; the electrical control box 43 controls the operation of the multiple electric cylinders 5 according to the data collected by the industrial camera 3 and the rangefinder 2 to adjust the posture of the battery picking and placing part 1. After the adjustment is completed, the battery picking and placing part 1 can realize the installation or removal of the energy storage battery 200.

[0042] The energy storage battery automatic installation device 100 of the present invention can accurately obtain the position and status of the energy storage battery 200 where it needs to be installed or removed through the detection component, and then can control the operation of the electric cylinder 5 according to the detection result to adjust the posture of the battery picking and placing component 1 to achieve a better installation effect without the problem of misalignment.

[0043] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0044] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present utility model patent shall be determined by the appended claims.
