[0037] Please refer to Figs. 1 to 3 The present embodiment proposes an electric core buffering device for buffering the electric core 100 conveyed by an external conveying mechanism, which comprises a clamping part 1, a buffering cabinet 2 and a driving part 3. The clamping part 1 is used for clamping the electric core 100. The buffering cabinet 2 comprises a plurality of bearing parts 4 arranged along the height direction at intervals. The bearing part 4 is used for bearing the electric core 100. Each bearing part 4 has a notch 42 which provides a space for at least partially accommodating the clamping part 1. The driving part 3 is connected with the clamping part 1 and is used for driving the clamping part 1 to reciprocally move between the conveying mechanism and the buffering cabinet, so as to place the electric core 100 on the bearing part 4 or take out the electric core 100 from the bearing part 4.
[0038] It can be understood that the clamping part 1 can grasp the electric core 100 conveyed by the conveying mechanism, and under the action of the driving part 3, the electric core 100 can be transferred to the buffering cabinet. In this process, the clamping part 1 can lock the electric core 100 to ensure the accuracy of the electric core 100 during the transfer process. Under the action of the driving part 3, the clamping part 1 can be directly opposite to the notch 42. The setting of the notch 42 does not need to set an additional avoiding space in the buffering cabinet 2, so as to reduce the occupied space of the whole buffering cabinet 2.
[0039] The bearing part 4 comprises two bearing structures 41 which are arranged on the opposite two side walls of the buffering cabinet 2, and a spacing is arranged between the two bearing structures 41 to form the notch 42. It can be understood that under the action of the driving part 3, the clamping part 1 can be directly opposite to the notch 42, and under the action of the driving part 3, the electric core 100 can be above the two bearing structures 41 and placed on the two bearing structures 41. The setting of the two bearing structures 41 can ensure the stability of the electric core 100 when it is buffered.
[0040] It should be noted that the notch 42 is at the middle position of the buffering cabinet 2, so as to avoid the interference between the electric core 100 and one of the side walls of the buffering cabinet 2 when buffering different models of electric cores 100.
[0041] Preferably, the clamping part 1 is a clamping component such as a clamping jaw, a finger clamping cylinder and the like, so as to reduce the production cost.
[0042] Particularly, the bearing structure 41 comprises a bearing plate 411 and a cushion block 412, the bearing plate 411 is arranged horizontally and connected with the buffer cabinet 2 at one end; the cushion block 412 is arranged on the top of the bearing plate 411 and at the other end of the bearing plate 411. It can be understood that the horizontally arranged bearing plate 411 can avoid the deviation of the battery cell 100 during the buffering process, thereby ensuring the buffering quality. In addition, the arrangement of the cushion block 412 can avoid the direct contact between the battery cell 100 and the bearing plate 411, thereby avoiding the secondary damage to the battery cell 100. The cushion block 412 at the end away from the buffer cabinet 2 can ensure the bearing of the battery cell 100 of different models, thereby further improving the applicability of the battery cell buffering device.
[0043] Further, the buffer cabinet 2 is provided with a sliding groove 21 extending horizontally at intervals on the opposite two side walls, the bearing plate 411 is slidingly connected to the sliding groove 21, and the sliding groove 21 is redundantly arranged. It can be understood that the sliding connection of the bearing plate 411 to the sliding groove 21 can facilitate the replacement of the position of the bearing plate 411 to adjust the number of bearing parts 4 according to different production needs, and can adjust the height of the corresponding bearing part 4 according to the battery cell 100 of different models, thereby further improving the applicability of the battery cell buffering device.
[0044] Preferably, the bearing part 4 is provided with at least ten. Such arrangement can meet the production needs of customers.
[0045] In this embodiment, both clamping surfaces 11 of the clamping part 1 are provided with a rubber coating layer. It can be understood that the clamping part 1 may, when clamping the battery cell 100, cause indentation and other adverse phenomena to the battery cell 100, especially for the defective battery cell 100, which may cause safety accidents. The arrangement of the rubber coating layer can avoid hard contact between the clamping surface 11 and the battery cell 100, thereby ensuring the safety of the battery cell 100, and the structure is simple, easy to maintain and low in cost.
[0046] Further, the two clamping surfaces 11 adjacent to one side of the driving part 3 are provided with limiting blocks 12, and the two limiting blocks 12 are oppositely arranged. It can be understood that the clamping part 1, under the action of the driving part 3, can place the battery cell 100 in the clamping area of the clamping part 1 when clamping the battery cell 100, and then the two clamping surfaces 11 can clamp the battery cell 100, and the limiting block 12 can avoid the battery cell 100 from leaving the clamping area, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the clamping part 1 when clamping the battery cell 100.
[0047] In the embodiment, the battery cell caching device further comprises a detection unit 5, which is arranged on the caching cabinet 2 and electrically connected with the driving unit 3. The detection unit 5 is configured to detect whether the battery cell 100 is cached on any of the bearing units 4. It can be understood that, when the clamping unit 1 is moved from the conveying mechanism to the caching cabinet by the driving unit 3, the detection unit 5 can feed back a signal to the driving unit 3, so as to conveniently determine that the driving unit 3 is driven to a position opposite to the bearing unit 4 on which the battery cell 100 is not cached, and further avoid that multiple battery cells 100 are placed on the same bearing unit 4 at the same time, so as to further improve the safety performance.
[0048] Preferably, the detection unit 5 comprises a plurality of pairs of photoelectric sensors, which are arranged one by one corresponding to the bearing units 4, and any of the photoelectric sensors is above the corresponding bearing unit 4. It can be understood that, the photoelectric sensor comprises a receiving end and a transmitting end, which are arranged on both sides of any of the bearing units 4, respectively. When the bearing unit 4 does not bear the battery cell 100, the receiving end can receive the light signal emitted from the transmitting end and feed back an idle signal to the driving unit 3. Conversely, when the bearing unit 4 bears the battery cell 100, the receiving end cannot receive the light signal emitted from the transmitting end, so as to feed back a busy signal to the driving unit 3. In this way, the driving unit 3 can determine the stopping position of the clamping unit 1.
[0049] In the embodiment, the driving unit 3 comprises a first driving member 31, a bracket 32 and a second driving member 33. The bracket 32 is arranged in a horizontal direction, and the second driving member 33 is arranged on the bracket 32. The clamping unit 1 is arranged on the driving end of the second driving member 33, so as to drive the clamping unit 1 to extend into the inside of the caching cabinet 2. The first driving member 31 is configured to drive the bracket 32 to move in a vertical direction and hover at any height. It can be understood that, after receiving the signal fed back by the detection unit 5, the first driving member 31 can drive the bracket 32 to move to the corresponding height, and then the second driving member 33 can drive the clamping unit 1 to move to the corresponding bearing unit 4. After the battery cell 100 is placed, the driving unit 3 can drive the clamping unit 1 to return to the conveying mechanism again, so as to take the next battery cell 100.
[0050] Preferably, the first driving member 31 is a linear lifting module, and the second driving member 33 is a linear cylinder. Of course, in some other feasible embodiments, the first driving member 31 and the second driving member 33 can also be other linear driving members in the prior art, which will not be described here.

For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, re-adjustments and replacements can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present application.
