[0039] Each row string unit 10 comprises a pair of grabbing devices 3 with grabbing function on both sides in the horizontal direction. The grabbing device 3 has the ability of vertical lifting movement and axial rotation along the length direction of the grabbing device 3, so as to realize the alternate grabbing of the battery string 30 on both sides. An input device 2 is arranged below each grabbing device 3, which is used for transporting the battery string 30. An output device 5 is arranged on one side of the middle part of the box body 1 close to each input device 2. The end of the grabbing device 3 is mounted on the side wall of the box body 1. The input device 2 and the output device 5 are mounted on the table in the box body 1.

[0040] A translation grabbing device 4 is arranged above each grabbing device 3 and mounted close to the top of the box body 1. The translation grabbing device 4 is used for grabbing the battery string 30 on the upper side of the grabbing device 3 and conveying it to the output device 5. One long battery string 30 can be grabbed by the pair of grabbing devices 3 at the same time, or one short battery string 30 can be grabbed by a single grabbing device 3, so as to grab battery strings 30 of different specifications. It can meet the size requirements of more battery strings 30, such as 180mm-2500mm. ​

[0041] As Figures 3-6 shown, the grabbing device 3 includes a rotating cylinder 31, two groups of grabbing components 32 and a pair of lifting components 33. The pair of lifting components 33 are fixedly connected to the opposite inner walls of the box body 1. The rotating cylinder 31 is rotatably connected to the driving ends of the pair of lifting components 33. The grabbing components 32 correspond to the translation grabbing device 4. Each group of grabbing components 32 includes a pair of grabbing pieces 321. The pair of grabbing pieces 321 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the rotating cylinder 31.

[0042] The working mode of the grabbing device 3: the lifting components 33 are lowered, the grabbing pieces 321 grab the battery string 30, and then move upwards; the rotating cylinder 31 is further rotated by 180 degrees to rotate the battery string 30 to the upper side of the rotating cylinder 31, so as to facilitate the grabbing of the translation grabbing device 4; the grabbing pieces 321 on the lower side can directly lower again to grab a new battery string 30, thereby improving the grabbing speed.

[0043] The input device 2 includes a transmission piece 20, a transmission piece 21 and a pair of driving structures 22. The transmission piece 20 and the transmission piece 21 are arranged in the transverse direction and the ends are opposite to each other, corresponding to the pair of grabbing components 32. The pair of driving structures 22 are fixedly connected to the rotating parts of the transmission piece 20 and the transmission piece 21 to drive the transmission piece 20 and the transmission piece 21 to rotate in the same direction, thereby transporting the battery string 30 on the transmission piece 20 or the transmission piece 21. The transmission piece 20 and the transmission piece 21 are located on the lower side corresponding to the pair of grabbing components 32.

[0044] As Figure 3 shown, the input device 2 is provided with a sensor to sense the battery string on the input device 2. Between each input device 2 and each output device 5, a tray 6 is further provided. The tray 6 is fixedly connected to the table top, and the input device 2, the tray 6 and the output device 5 are arranged in sequence towards the detection device 40. The detection device 40 is located above the table top, and the upper side of the detection device 40 is fixedly connected to the top of the box body 1. The input device 2, the tray 6, the output device 5 and the detection device 40 are arranged in sequence, which can make the structure more compact, the space utilization rate is higher, and the moving distance of the grabbing device 3 is reduced. The tray 6 is used to place the unqualified battery string 30.

[0045] As Figures 7-9As shown, the box 1 also includes a pair of sliding devices 11. A pair of sliding devices 11 are fixedly connected to the side wall near the top of the box 1, for fixed connection with a pair of translation gripping devices 4 in the row string unit 10. It should be noted that the sliding device 11 is a conventional technical means, such as moving through a track with sliding function such as a belt, which will not be described here. The translation gripping device 4 includes a lifting main body 41 and a gripper assembly 42. The lifting main body 41 is fixedly connected to the sliding device 11 to follow the lateral movement of the sliding device 11, and the lifting main body 41 has the ability to move up and down. The gripper assembly 42 is rotatably connected to the lower side of the lifting main body 41, and follows the lifting main body 41 up and down.

[0046] The gripper assembly 42 includes a gripper disc 421, a rotating cylinder two 422 and a pair of mounting pieces 423. The end of the rotating cylinder two 422 is fixedly connected to the side of the pair of mounting pieces 423. The gripper disc 421 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the rotating cylinder two 422. The rotating cylinder two 422 can be rotated by 90 degrees towards the detection device 40 for detection. The lifting main body 41 is fixedly connected between the pair of mounting pieces 423.

[0047] Working principle:

[0048] The battery string 30 is transported: after the operator starts the device, the battery string 30 is transported to the first conveying member 20 first, and then continues to move to the second conveying member 21 until it is moved to the second conveying member 21. At the same time, a new battery string 30 is transported to the first conveying member 20. When the sensor on the input device 2 senses that the battery string 30 on the first conveying member 20 and the second conveying member 21 is transported in place, a corresponding pair of lifting assemblies 33 drives the rotating cylinder 1 and the grabbing member 321 to descend. The rotating cylinder 1 is provided with a side a and a side b on the upper and lower sides respectively. The grabbing member 321 on the side a of the rotating cylinder 1 grabs the battery string 30 on the first conveying member 20 and the second conveying member 21. After successful grabbing, the lifting assembly 33 drives the rotating cylinder 1 and the grabbing member 321 to ascend again. The rotating cylinder 1 drives the grabbing member 321 and the battery string 30 to rotate 180 degrees, at which time the grabbing member 321 on the side b faces the upper side of the input device 2, ready for the next grabbing. The sliding device 11 drives the corresponding lifting main body 41 and the gripper assembly 42 to move to the upper side of the battery string 30. The lifting main body 41 drives the gripper assembly 42 to descend, and the battery string 30 is grabbed by the gripper disc 421; the lifting main body 41 drives the gripper assembly 42 and the battery string 30 to ascend again. Then the sliding device 11 drives the gripper assembly 42 and the battery string 30 to move towards the detection device 40. Finally, the rotating cylinder 2 422 drives the gripper disc 421 and the battery string 30 to rotate 90 degrees towards the detection device 40, so as to detect the battery string 30. If it is qualified, the rotating cylinder 2 422 drives the battery string 30 to rotate 90 degrees in the opposite direction, and then the lifting main body 41 and the gripper assembly 42 and the battery string 30 are moved to the upper side of the output device 5 by the sliding device 11. The lifting main body 41 drives the gripper assembly 42 and the battery string 30 to descend and place on the output device 5, and is transported out by the output device 5. If the battery string 30 is unqualified, the battery string 30 is placed on the tray 6. At this time, the other grabbing member 321 has finished grabbing the new battery string 30 and is rotated 180 degrees (the specific operation is the same as above), waiting for the grabbing of the gripper disc 421, and so on in turn.

[0049] The battery string 30 is conveyed to the transmission part 2, and then moves to the transmission part 3 until the sensor part on the transmission part 3 senses the battery string 30. Then, the lifting assembly 33 drives the rotating cylinder 1 and the grabbing part 3 to lower and grab the battery string 30, and then rises and turns 180 degrees. After being grabbed by the grabbing hand 4, the battery string 30 moves to the detection device 40 for detection. The qualified battery string 30 is placed in the output device 5, and the unqualified battery string 30 is placed in the tray 6. After the battery string 30 is grabbed by the grabbing hand 4, the lifting assembly 33 drives the rotating cylinder 1 and the grabbing part 3 to lower again, and is ready to grab a new battery string 30. The specific operation mode of grabbing, moving, lifting and turning of the battery string 30 is the same as that of the battery string 30 with short length, and the grabbing is repeated in turn.
