[0031] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0032] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0033] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0034] According to one embodiment of the present application, a carrying device 10 is provided. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the carrying device 10 includes a support base 1 and a floating assembly 2. The floating assembly 2 is mounted on the support base 1 and includes a support member 21. The support member 21 is rotatably arranged relative to the support base 1 and is suitable for supporting a workpiece 20. The support member 21 can rotate to adjust the position of the workpiece 20.

[0035] In this example, the floating assembly 2 is mounted on the support base 1, and the support member 21 of the floating assembly 2 can rotate relative to the support base 1. When the workpiece 20 is placed on the support member 21, the position of the workpiece 20 can be adjusted by rotating the support member 21, so that the workpiece 20 can be accurately and stably placed on the carrier 10.

[0036] For example, the workpiece 20 is placed on the support 21 , and the bottom end of the workpiece 20 abuts against the support 21 , pushing the workpiece 20 . The workpiece 20 can drive the support 21 to rotate, and the position of the workpiece 20 can be easily adjusted.

[0037] In this example, a plurality of floating assemblies 2 may be provided, and the plurality of floating assemblies 2 are arranged at intervals to jointly support the workpiece 20 , thereby improving the stability of the supported workpiece 20 .

[0038] In this example, the floating component 2 can be a universal ball bearing, which is installed on the support seat 1. The ball of the universal ball bearing is the support member 21 for supporting the workpiece 20. The ball can rotate to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the workpiece 20.

[0039] In this example, the workpiece 20 may be a battery box, which is transported to the position of the carrier 10 by the AGV and then placed on the support 21. Of course, the workpiece 20 may also be of other types, and those skilled in the art may determine the type according to actual circumstances, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0040] In one example, Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the support seat 1 includes a mounting plate 11 and a first baffle 12, the floating component 2 is installed on the mounting plate 11, the first baffle 12 is connected to the mounting plate 11, and is located on one side of the floating component 2 along the first direction, and the first baffle 12 is suitable for limiting the workpiece 20.

[0041] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in this example, the support base 1 includes a mounting plate 11 and a first baffle 12. The first baffle 12 is connected to the mounting plate 11. For example, the first baffle 12 can be fixedly connected by fasteners, welding, or clamping. The floating assembly 2 is mounted on the upper end surface of the mounting plate 11. The first baffle 12 is located on one side of the floating assembly 2 along a first direction. When the workpiece 20 is placed, the first baffle 12 can abut or contact the side wall of the workpiece 20, thereby limiting the position of the workpiece 20 and facilitating its placement in the predetermined position.

[0042] In this example, two first stoppers 12 are provided, one located on opposite sides of the floating assembly 2 along the first direction. These two first stoppers 12 can limit the workpiece 20 on opposite sides, further enhancing the positional restraint effect. Furthermore, after the workpiece 20 is placed on the support member 21, the two first stoppers 12 can also secure the workpiece 20 in place.

[0043] In this example, the first baffle 12 may be made of aluminum plate, aluminum alloy plate, stainless steel plate or other materials. Those skilled in the art may determine the material based on actual conditions, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0044] In one example, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a first guide portion 121 is provided at one end of the first baffle 12 along the second direction. The first guide portion 121 is adapted to guide the workpiece 20 when the workpiece 20 is being transported.

[0045] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the workpiece 20 is transported to the carrier 10 along the second direction, and the first baffle 12 is provided with a first guide portion 121 at the entry end of the workpiece 20. When the workpiece 20 is transported to the carrier 10, the first guide portion 121 can guide the workpiece 20, thereby pre-adjusting the position of the workpiece 20.

[0046] For example, in this example, Figure 3 As shown, the first guide portion 121 has a first inclined surface on a side facing the floating assembly 2. Along the second direction, the first inclined surface gradually moves away from the floating assembly 2. When the workpiece 20 is tilted, the sidewall of the workpiece 20 can abut against the first inclined surface and move along the tilt, thereby facilitating the movement of the workpiece 20 to a predetermined position.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, two first baffles 12 may be provided, and both first baffles 12 are provided with a first guide portion 121. The first inclined surfaces of the two first guide portions 121 are symmetrically arranged so that the two first inclined surfaces can guide the opposite sides of the workpiece 20 respectively.

[0048] In this example, the first guide portion 121 may be a guide plate, which may be integrally formed with the first baffle 12 or welded to the first baffle 12. Alternatively, the guide plate is fixed to the mounting plate 11 and located at one end of the first baffle 12.

[0049] In one example, Figures 2 to 4As shown, the support seat 1 further includes a second baffle 13 , which is mounted and connected to the mounting plate 11 and is located on one side of the floating assembly 2 along the second direction. The second baffle 13 is suitable for limiting the workpiece 20 .

[0050] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the second baffle 13 of the support base 1 is mounted on the mounting plate 11 and is located on one side of the floating assembly 2 along the second direction. When the workpiece 20 is placed on the support member 21, the second baffle 13 can abut or contact the side wall of the workpiece 20, thereby limiting the workpiece 20.

[0051] In this example, if Figure 2 As shown, two second baffles 13 are provided, one located on either side of the floating assembly 2 along the second direction. When the workpiece 20 is placed on the support 21, the two second baffles 13 can abut or contact the two side walls of the workpiece 20 along the second direction, thereby further limiting the position of the workpiece 20. Furthermore, after the workpiece 20 is placed on the support 21, the two second baffles 13 can also secure the workpiece 20 in place.

[0052] In this example, the second baffle 13 can be integrally formed with the mounting plate 11 , or the second baffle 13 and the mounting plate 11 can be fixedly connected by fasteners, welding, or clamping.

[0053] In this example, the first baffle 12 may be made of aluminum plate, aluminum alloy plate, stainless steel plate or other materials. Those skilled in the art may determine the material based on actual conditions, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0054] In one example, Figure 4 As shown, a second guide portion 131 is provided at one end of the second baffle 13 along the third direction. The second guide portion 131 is adapted to guide the workpiece 20 when the workpiece 20 is placed on the floating assembly 2 .

[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, in this example, the first direction and the second direction can be arranged to intersect horizontally, and the third direction can be a vertical direction. A second guide portion 131 is provided at the upper end of the second baffle 13. When the workpiece 20 is placed from top to bottom, the second guide portion 131 can guide the workpiece 20, thereby facilitating the workpiece 20 to be guided to a predetermined position.

[0056] In this example, the second guide portion 131 can be integrally formed with the second baffle 13, or the second guide portion 131 can be an inclined plate, and the second guide portion 131 can be welded or clamped to the second baffle 13. Those skilled in the art can determine the method according to actual conditions, and no specific limitation is given here.

[0057] In one example, Figure 4 As shown, a second inclined surface is provided on a side of the second guide portion 131 facing the floating assembly 2 , and the second inclined surface is gradually arranged away from the floating assembly 2 along the third direction.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, in this example, a second inclined surface is provided at the upper end of the second baffle 13, and the second inclined surface is positioned toward the floating assembly 2. Furthermore, the second inclined surface gradually moves away from the floating assembly 2 from the lower end to the upper end. When a workpiece 20 is placed downwardly on the support member 21, if the workpiece 20 is tilted, the sidewall of the workpiece 20 can contact the second inclined surface, allowing the workpiece 20 to move downward along the second inclined surface, thereby guiding the workpiece 20 to a predetermined position.

[0059] In one example, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the carrying device 10 further includes a positioning assembly 3 , and the positioning assembly 3 includes a positioning rod 31 . The positioning rod 31 can be inserted into the positioning hole of the workpiece 20 to position the workpiece 20 .

[0060] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this example, the positioning assembly 3 is mounted on the support base 1 and is located on one side of the floating assembly 2. The workpiece 20 has a positioning hole, and the positioning rod 31 of the positioning assembly 3 can be inserted into the positioning hole of the workpiece 20, so that the workpiece 20 can be positioned.

[0061] In this example, multiple positioning assemblies 3 can be provided, and the multiple positioning assemblies 3 can be arranged at intervals, thereby further improving the positioning effect of the workpiece 20. For example, two, three, or four positioning assemblies 3 can be provided. Those skilled in the art can determine the number based on actual conditions, and this is not specifically limited here.

[0062] In one example, Figure 4 As shown, a conical third guide portion 311 is provided at one end of the positioning rod 31 .

[0063] like Figure 4 As shown, in this example, the upper end of the positioning rod 31 is provided with a tapered third guide portion 311. That is, the positioning rod 31 is provided with a third inclined surface that gradually approaches the center of the positioning rod 31 from bottom to top. When the positioning rod 31 is inserted into the positioning hole, if the position of the workpiece 20 deviates, the third inclined surface will abut against the open end of the positioning hole. During the insertion process, the positioning rod 31 can push the workpiece 20 via the third inclined surface to guide the workpiece 20 to the predetermined position.

[0064] like Figure 4As shown, in this example, the positioning assembly 3 also includes a cylinder 32 mounted on the support base 1. Cylinder 32 is drivingly connected to the positioning rod 31 and can drive the positioning rod 31 to move in the third direction. When the workpiece 20 is placed on the support 21, the cylinder 32 drives the positioning rod 31 upward. The positioning rod 31 is inserted into the positioning hole of the workpiece 20, thereby moving the workpiece 20 to a predetermined position.

[0065] In this example, if Figure 2 As shown, the support seat 1 is also provided with a plurality of three-coordinate detection reference holes 5, which are reference holes for detecting the dimensional accuracy of the positioning rod 31. The three-coordinate detection error is used to correct the error of the positioning rod 31 to ensure the matching accuracy of the positioning rod 31 and the positioning hole of the workpiece 20.

[0066] In one example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are two support seats 1 , which are spaced apart from each other. Each support seat 1 is provided with the floating assembly 2 . The two support seats 1 are suitable for supporting two sides of the workpiece 20 respectively.

[0067] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, two support bases 1 are spaced apart, and floating components 2 are provided on both support bases 1. The floating components 2 on the two support bases 1 can respectively support both sides of the workpiece 20. A plurality of floating components 2 are spaced apart on each mounting plate 11 along the second direction.

[0068] In one example, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the carrying device 10 further includes a leveling switch 4 , which is mounted on the support base 1 . The leveling switch 4 is suitable for leveling the workpiece 20 .

[0069] In this example, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support base 1 is also equipped with a leveling switch 4, for example, mounted on the mounting plate 11. The leveling switch 4 is a safety device that can sense the horizontal state of the workpiece 20 supported by the support member 21. When the workpiece 20 tilts, the sensing portion of the leveling switch 4 senses this change and triggers the circuitry within the switch, generating a control signal that can be used for operations such as alarms.

[0070] For example, in this example, two leveling switches 4 can be provided, one detection switch is installed on each mounting seat, and the two leveling switches 4 are provided along the diagonal line. That is, after the workpiece 20 is placed on the support 21, the two detection switches can simultaneously detect the diagonals of the workpiece 20. If both detection switches can sense, it means that the workpiece 20 has been placed in place, and subsequent operations can be performed. If only one or no detection switch senses, it means that the workpiece 20 is placed off-center, the system alarms, and the position of the workpiece 20 needs to be adjusted. Among them, four leveling switches 4 can also be provided, with two detection switches installed on each mounting seat, and the four leveling switches 4 can correspond to the four corners of the workpiece 20 respectively.

[0071] In this example, the placement process of the workpiece 20 includes the following steps: the AGV conveys the workpiece 20 along the second direction, with both ends of the workpiece 20 along the first direction corresponding to the first guide portions 121 on either side. If the workpiece 20 deviates, at least one end of the workpiece 20 will abut against the first guide portion 121, thereby guiding the workpiece 20 to a predetermined position. The workpiece 20 is then conveyed above the floating assembly 2, with the two first baffles 12 corresponding to both sides of the workpiece 20 along the first direction. The workpiece 20 is then driven downward along the third direction. If the workpiece 20 deviates, at least one end of the workpiece 20 along the second direction will correspond to the second guide portion 131 on the second baffle 13, thereby guiding the workpiece 20 to a predetermined position and placing it on the support 21. The two second baffles 13 can correspond to both sides of the workpiece 20 along the second direction. Finally, the cylinder 32 can drive the positioning rod 31 to move upward and insert it into the positioning hole of the workpiece 20. When the positioning rod 31 is inserted into the positioning hole, the positioning rod 31 can further adjust the position of the workpiece 20. Since the support member 21 can rotate relative to the support seat 1, the positioning rod 31 can guide the workpiece 20 to move to the preset position.

[0072] The above embodiments focus on the differences between the various embodiments. As long as the different optimization features between the various embodiments are not contradictory, they can be combined to form a better embodiment. Considering the simplicity of the text, they will not be repeated here.
