[0031] Referring to FIGS. 1-4, Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present application provides a battery piece aligning device, which comprises a base plate 10, an inclining structure 20, a pushing structure 30 and a loading plate 40. The inclining structure 20 comprises an inclining motor 21 fixed to the base plate 10 and an inclining plate 22 fixed to a rotating shaft of the inclining motor 21. The loading plate 40 is fixed to the top of the inclining plate 22, and each side of the loading plate 40 is fixed with at least one baffle 41 for blocking the battery pieces. The pushing structure 30 comprises a driving assembly 31 fixed to the base plate 10 and a plurality of pushing plates 32 respectively fixed to each driving end of the driving assembly 31. Each pushing plate 32 is arranged around the loading plate 40, and at least one pushing plate 32 is arranged on each side of the loading plate 40. The driving assembly 31 is used to drive each pushing plate 32 to synchronously approach or move away from the center of the loading plate 40.

[0032] In the present application, the inclining structure 20 can drive the loading plate 40 to incline and deflect, so that the battery pieces on the loading plate 40 slide to adhere to the baffles 41 under the action of their own gravity, thereby completing the alignment of the battery pieces. In this process, the pressure of the battery pieces on the bottom battery pieces in the direction perpendicular to the loading plate 40 is reduced, thereby reducing the friction force on the bottom battery pieces and avoiding the occurrence of scratches and damage to the bottom battery pieces. After the battery pieces are aligned, the inclining structure 20 is reset, and the pushing structure 30 is started to push the aligned battery pieces to the center of the loading plate 40, so as to facilitate subsequent material taking.

[0033] It is worth mentioning that during the process of pushing the battery pieces by the pushing structure 30, the relative displacement between the battery pieces does not occur, and the bottom battery pieces only bear the friction force on the contact surface with the loading plate 40. Since the loading plate 40 is relatively smooth, the process of pushing the battery pieces by the pushing structure 30 does not cause scratches and damage to the bottom battery pieces.

[0034] Referring to FIGS. 1-4, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, each side of the carrier plate 40 is provided with a notch 42 corresponding to each push plate 32; since the area of the carrier plate 40 is larger than that of the battery piece, by providing the notch 42 on the side of the carrier plate 40, the push plate 32 can be moved into the notch 42, thereby pushing the battery piece to the center position of the carrier plate 40.

[0035] Specifically, the projection of the inclined plate 22 in the vertical direction is located in the carrier plate 40, and the projection of the inclined plate 22 does not coincide with the notch 42, so as to avoid interference between the push plate 32 and the inclined plate 22 during movement.

[0036] More specifically, in some embodiments, the depth of the notch 42 is greater than or equal to the width of the push plate 32, where the depth of the notch 42 and the width of the push plate 32 refer to the dimensions of the two in the moving direction of the push plate 32.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, two baffle plates 41 are fixed to the side of each carrier plate 40, and the two baffle plates 41 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the notch 42.

[0038] Of course, in other embodiments, a certain number of baffle plates 41 can also be fixed to the side of each carrier plate 40, as long as the gap between the adjacent two baffle plates 41 is smaller than the length and width of the battery piece, which can block the battery piece, and the present application does not make further limitations here.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the inclined structure 20 further comprises two bases 23 fixed to the bottom plate 10, the inclined motor 21 is fixed to one of the two bases 23, and the bottom surface of the inclined plate 22 is provided with two connecting pieces 22a, one of which is fixed to the rotating shaft of the inclined motor 21, and the other is rotatably connected to the other base 23.

[0040] By providing two bases 23 to support the inclined plate 22, the rotational stability of the inclined plate 22 is increased. Of course, in some embodiments, the inclined structure 20 is also connected to the inclined plate 22 by two inclined motors 21, as long as it can drive the inclined plate 22 to rotate, and the present application does not give examples here.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the carrier plate 40 is quadrangular, and the two connecting pieces 22a are respectively arranged at a pair of diagonal positions on the bottom surface of the carrier plate 40.

[0042] It is easy to understand that when two connecting pieces 22a are arranged at diagonal positions, on the one hand, the distance between the two connecting pieces 22a is the largest, so the support of the two bases 23 to the inclined plate 22 is relatively stable, and on the other hand, it also plays a role in avoiding the pushing structure 30 and fully utilizing the space of the equipment.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the pushing structure 30 further comprises a plurality of sliding assemblies 33, and each side of the carrier plate 40 is provided with a group of sliding assemblies 33, the sliding assembly 33 comprises a limiting guide rail 331 fixed to the bottom plate 10 and a sliding piece 332 in sliding connection with the limiting guide rail 331, and the pushing plate 32 is fixed to the sliding piece 332; the driving assembly 31 comprises a driving piece 312 and a linkage assembly 311, one end of the linkage assembly 311 is connected with the driving piece 312, and the other end is connected with each sliding piece 332 respectively.

[0044] Specifically, in some embodiments, the linkage assembly 311 comprises a fixed ring 311a, a rotating ring 311b and a plurality of connecting rods 311c corresponding to the sliding assemblies 33, the fixed ring 311a is fixed with the bottom plate 10, the rotating ring 311b is in rotating connection with the fixed ring 311a, each connecting rod 311c is in rotating connection with the rotating ring 311b at one end and in rotating connection with the sliding assembly 33 at the other end; the driving piece 312 is a telescopic rod, and the telescopic rod is in rotating connection with the bottom plate 10 and the rotating ring 311b at both ends respectively.

[0045] More specifically, the telescopic rod can drive the rotating ring 311b to rotate relative to the fixed ring 311a, and each connecting rod 311c is in rotating connection with the rotating ring 311b at one end and in rotating connection with the connecting plate 332b of the sliding assembly 33 at the other end, so that the rotation of the rotating ring 311b can drive the connecting plate 332b to slide along the limiting guide rail 331 through the connecting rod 311c, and in turn drive each pushing plate 32 to move synchronously, change the internal space surrounded by each pushing plate 32, and until the battery piece is pushed to the center position of the carrier plate 40.

[0046] Among them, the telescopic rod includes but is not limited to a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric telescopic rod, etc.

[0047] In other embodiments, the driving assembly 31 can also be other structures, for example, comprising a plurality of driving pieces, each driving piece corresponding to a group of sliding assemblies 33, etc., or using other different structures of linkage assembly 311, etc., as long as each pushing plate 32 can be driven to move synchronously by the driving assembly 31.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the drawings, in some embodiments, the sliding member 332 comprises mutually fixed sliding blocks 332a and connecting plates 332b, the sliding blocks 332a are in sliding connection with the limiting guide rails 331, two push plates 32 are fixed on each connecting plate 332b, and the connecting position of the connecting rod 311c and the connecting plate 332b is located between the two push plates 32.

[0049] In other embodiments, other numbers of push plates 32 can also be fixed on each connecting plate 332b, as long as the gap between adjacent two push plates 32 is smaller than the length and width of the battery piece, the gap can play a role of blocking and pushing the battery piece, and the present application does not make further limitation here.

[0050] Preferably, the connecting point of the connecting rod 311c and the connecting plate 332b, and the sliding connection point between the sliding block 332a and the limiting guide rail 331 correspond in the vertical direction, so as to ensure smooth sliding of the sliding member 332 along the limiting guide rail 331.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the drawings, in some embodiments, the load plate 40, the inclined plate 22 and the bottom plate 10 are respectively provided with mutually corresponding avoiding holes in the vertical direction; preferably, the avoiding holes are located at the center position, and after the battery pieces are pushed and centered, a push rod (not shown in the drawings) upwardly extending from the bottom of the bottom plate 10 can hold up the battery pieces after the battery pieces are sorted, so as to facilitate the subsequent grabbing of the mechanical arm suction cup, thereby realizing automatic discharging.

[0052] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any manner, and in order to make the description concise, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described, however, as long as the combinations of the technical features do not exist contradictions, they should be considered as the scope of the present application.
