Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery module assembly equipment, in particular to a gripping mechanism that is compatible with multiple materials. Background Art

[0002] In factories assembling new energy battery modules, there are various ways to grasp the water-cooling plates and movable beams within the modules. The most common grasping mechanism is typically a mobile unit. A mobile unit is an automated device that mimics certain human hand and arm movements to grasp, move objects, or manipulate tools according to a fixed program. This grasping mechanism enables products to be transported from one location to another.

[0003] In order to save production costs, today's gripping mechanisms usually only have one set of mobile units, which are only suitable for gripping either the movable beam or the water-cooled plate. During the factory production process, both the water-cooled plate and the movable beam need to be transported. The structure of the water-cooled plate and the movable beam is different. In order to grab and transport the water-cooled plate and the movable beam, the traditional gripping mechanism can only set up multiple sets of gripping mechanisms to grab the water-cooled plate or the movable beam respectively, which will lead to increased production costs and low gripping efficiency. At the same time, during the gripping process, the products need to be pasted together, but the traditional gripping mechanism lacks a device for pressing the products together after pasting.
