[0044] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application more clear, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0045] See Figure 1-6 The utility model discloses a clamping mechanism 1 for a battery restraint machine, which can restrain and organize batteries entering the battery restraint machine to facilitate subsequent tying with steel strips.

[0046] The clamping mechanism includes two clamping components 11, a driving component 12, a holding component 13, and a fixed bracket 14. The driving component 12 is connected to the fixed bracket 14, the holding component 13 is connected to the fixed bracket 14, and the clamping component 11 is connected to the driving component 12. The two clamping components 11 are installed at both ends of the driving component 12, and the holding component 13 is installed between the two clamping components 11.

[0047] Specifically, the fixed bracket 14 can be installed at the feeding end of the battery restraint machine. The fixed bracket 14 is installed on a horizontal plane. The fixed bracket 14 also provides installation positions for the driving component 12, the clamping component 11 and the abutting component 13. The clamping component 11 can restrain the inserted battery and clamp it from both sides so that its position is consistent with the range of subsequent feeding. The driving component 12 can drive the two clamping components 11 to move closer or farther away from each other. The driving force provided by the driving component 12 is converted into a clamping force for clamping the battery in the clamping component 11. The clamping mechanism is installed at one feeding end and a pushing mechanism is set at the other end. The pushing mechanism pushes the inserted battery pack, and the abutting component 13 abuts one side of the battery pack, thereby reducing the gap between the battery packs and making the subsequent tying process more convenient.

[0048] It can be understood that when the battery is placed within the clamping range of the clamping component 11, the battery restraint machine applies a force to bring the battery close to the abutting component 13, and the abutting component 13 abuts from the other direction in which the battery restraint machine applies the force. The two clamping components 11 are driven to approach or move away from two opposite directions by the driving component 12. The driving component 12 can produce a driving force, and produce a clamping force when the two clamping components 11 are close to each other, so that when the battery is placed, it can be clamped neatly by the clamping component 11 from two directions perpendicular to the direction in which the force applied by the battery restraint machine is applied, so that the battery can be constrained and can be assembled into a module to facilitate the tying of steel strips, making it more convenient to enter the subsequent mechanism production.

[0049] The fixed bracket 14 includes a reference frame 141, a fixed plate 142 and a fixed frame 143. The fixed frame 143 is connected to the reference frame 141, and the fixed plate 142 is connected to the fixed frame 143. The fixed plate 142 is installed in the range surrounded by the fixed frame 143, and the driving assembly 12 and the clamping assembly 11 are installed on the fixed plate 142. Specifically, the reference frame 141 is installed on a horizontal plane, and the fixed frame 143 includes two relatively parallel first frame plates 1431, a second frame plate 1432 and a third frame plate 1433. The first frame plate 1431 is connected to the second frame plate 1432, and the two first frame plates 1431 are installed at both ends of the second frame plate 1432. The third frame plate 1433 is arranged parallel to the second frame plate 1432, and the third frame plate 1433 is installed on the reference frame 141. The third frame plate 1433 is perpendicular to the first frame plate 1431. The fixed plate 142 is installed on the surface of the first frame plate 1431 close to the third frame plate 1433.

[0050] It can be understood that the fixed frame 143 is composed of four frame plates connected end to end in sequence, the fixed plate 142 is installed in the fixed frame 143 and away from the reference frame 141, the driving assembly 12 is installed on the fixed plate 142 and surrounded by the fixed frame 143, and the clamping assembly 11 is also installed on the fixed plate 142, and the clamping range of the clamping assembly 11 is facing in the direction away from the reference frame 141.

[0051] The third frame plate 1433 defines a strip-shaped slot 1435. The base frame 141 includes a plurality of fastener openings 1411 and fasteners, which pass through the strip-shaped slots 1435 and connect with the fastener openings 1411. Specifically, the fasteners secure the fixed frame 143 to the base frame 141. The plurality of fastener openings 1411 provided on the base frame 141 allow for the fixed frame 143 to be moved up and down, allowing the clamping assembly 11 mounted on the fixed plate 142 to adjust its position, allowing the clamping mechanism to accommodate batteries of varying sizes.

[0052] The clamping assembly 11 includes a fixed column 114, a connecting column 115, a first clamping arm 111, a second clamping arm 112 and a clamping plate 113. The two ends of the second clamping arm 112 are respectively connected to the first clamping arm 111 and the clamping plate 113. The first clamping arm 111 and the second clamping arm 112 form an angle. The second clamping arm 112 is arranged parallel to the clamping plate 113. The fixed column 114 is connected to the fixed plate 142. The connecting column 115 respectively connects the first clamping arm 111 and the driving assembly 12.

[0053] Specifically, the first frame plate 1431 is provided with an opening 1434, the first clamping arm 111 penetrates the opening 1434, the first clamping arm 111 and the second clamping arm 112 are arranged at an angle, so that the first clamping arm 111 passes through the first frame plate 1431 and extends out of the range surrounded by the fixed frame 143, the second clamping arm 112 and the clamping plate 113 are arranged in a direction toward the abutting component 13, which can facilitate clamping the battery in the direction of the abutting component 13, the fixing column 114 is installed on the first clamping arm 111, and the connecting column 115 is connected to the end of the first clamping arm 111. end, and connected to the driving component 12, the driving component 12 applies a force to push one end of the first clamping arm 111 connected to the connecting column 115, so that the first clamping arm 111 rotates with the fixed column 114 as the rotation center, driving the second clamping arm 112 to move, so that the clamping plate 113 at the end of the second clamping arm 112 is relatively close to or away from, thereby converting the driving force applied by the driving component 12 into a clamping force applied on the clamping plate 113, so that the clamping component 11 can clamp the battery from both sides, so that both sides of the battery pack can be kept flat and reduce protrusion in the position.

[0054] When the clamping assembly 11 is relatively close, the clamping plate 113 can contact the side surface of the battery. As an embodiment, the length of the clamping plate 113 is set to be greater than the thickness of a battery, so that the clamping plate 113 can clamp and organize the battery pack at the beginning and constrain the battery pack.

[0055] The driving assembly 12 includes a driving member 121 and a driving plate 122 . The driving member 121 is connected to the driving plate 122 . The driving member 121 is mounted on the fixing plate 142 . The driving plate 122 is connected to the two first clamping arms 111 , respectively.

[0056] Specifically, the driving member 121 is a driving cylinder, and the driving plate 122 is mounted on the telescopic rod of the driving cylinder. By extending or retracting the telescopic rod of the driving member 121, the driving plate 122 can be moved closer to or farther away from the abutting assembly 13, thereby driving the rotation of the first clamping arm 111. The driving plate 122 is provided with a movable groove, and the connecting column 115 moves within the range of the movable groove. The movable groove is arranged at an angle, so that the first clamping arm 111 can better rotate around the fixed column 114, thereby moving the second clamping arm 112 and the clamping plate 113 can be relatively moved closer or farther away.

[0057] The supporting assembly 13 includes a supporting member 131 and a mounting plate 132. The mounting plate 132 is fixedly connected to the second frame plate 1432. The supporting member 131 is connected to the mounting plate 132. The supporting member 131 includes a supporting portion 1311 and an adjusting portion 1312. The adjusting portion 1312 has a mounting hole. The supporting portion 1311 is vertically arranged to the fixed plate 142. The mounting plate 132 has a mounting groove 1321. The outer size of the mounting groove 1321 matches the outer size of the adjusting portion 1312.

[0058] Specifically, the mounting plate 132 is fixed to the second frame plate 1432 by screws, and the supporting member 131 is L-shaped. The adjusting portion 1312 is perpendicular to the supporting portion 1311, and the adjusting portion 1312 is installed in the mounting groove 1321 matching its shape. The adjusting portion 1312 is parallel to the second frame plate 1432, and the supporting portion 1311 is facing the direction of the battery. The supporting portion 1311 protrudes from the mounting plate 132, and the supporting portion 1311 can be supported on the surface of the battery that has just been fed. Since the supporting portion 1311 protrudes a certain distance from the mounting plate 132, when the battery is strapped with a steel strip, the steel strip is avoided from being affected by the mounting plate 132 on the side close to the abutting mounting plate 132, to avoid the steel strip being unable to be strapped due to the gap between the mounting plate 132 and the battery being too small. The supporting portion 1311 can limit the height of the steel strip strapping. In addition, the mounting holes on the adjustment portion 1312 and the mounting plate 132 are provided with corresponding screw mounting holes at the corresponding mounting hole positions. By installing the screw mounting holes at different positions, the upper and lower positions of the supporting member 131 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the height of the supporting portion 1311. In addition, the supporting portion 1311 can be kept at the center position of the battery to avoid the supporting position being too high or too low, thereby preventing the gap between the battery at high or low positions from being too large.
