Figure 2 is a structural view showing the state after the distance is set in the battery distance setting device of one embodiment of the present application.

[0030] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the battery distance setting device 1 of one embodiment of the present application has a plurality of battery clamping mechanisms 2, a clamping drive mechanism 3, a distance setting drive mechanism 4, and a stop mechanism 5.

[0031] The plurality of battery clamping mechanisms 2 are arranged in a row and can approach and move away from each other, Figure 1 indicates the state in which the plurality of battery clamping mechanisms 2 approach each other, Figure 2 indicates the state in which the plurality of battery clamping mechanisms 2 move away from each other, each battery clamping mechanism 2 is composed of two clamping jaws arranged opposite to each other, a space for clamping a battery is formed between the two clamping jaws, and the battery can be clamped and released by opening and closing the clamping jaws.

[0032] The clamping drive mechanism 3 can drive the two clamping jaws of the battery clamping mechanism 2 to clamp and release the battery, in the present embodiment, the clamping drive mechanism 3 is composed of a pneumatic cylinder, and therefore the battery clamping mechanism 2 can be driven by a simple and reliable mechanical structure. However, the clamping drive mechanism 3 is not limited to being composed of a pneumatic cylinder, and can be composed of other drive mechanisms such as a motor.

[0033] The distance setting drive mechanism 4 can drive the plurality of battery clamping mechanisms 2 to approach and move away from each other, Figure 1represents the state that the distance driving mechanism 4 drives the plurality of battery clamping mechanisms 2 to be close to each other, Figure 2 represents the state that the distance driving mechanism 4 drives the plurality of battery clamping mechanisms 2 to be far away from each other. In the present embodiment, the distance driving mechanism 4 drives the outermost battery clamping mechanism 2, i.e. the battery clamping mechanism 2 closest to the left side of the figure, and then drives other battery clamping mechanisms 2 through the limiting ring to be described later to move, thereby completing the distance.

When packing the batteries, first, the battery supply mechanism supplies the batteries to the battery clamping mechanisms of the battery distance device, each battery clamping mechanism corresponds to one battery, and the battery clamping mechanism clamps the battery under the driving of the clamping driving mechanism. Then, the distance driving mechanism works to make the battery clamping mechanisms move and separate from each other until the distance between the adjacent battery clamping mechanisms reaches the maximum distance defined by the limiting mechanism. Then, the battery clamping mechanisms release the batteries under the action of the clamping driving mechanism, the gripper clamps the batteries after the distance and packs them into the small cells of the packing box, thereby completing the packing. Finally, the distance driving device moves the battery distance device to be close to each other and returns to the initial state.
