Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a gripper, specifically a gripper for grasping bare battery cells. Background Technology

[0002] The production process of power batteries involves assembling bare cells into a complete lithium battery cell at different workstations. Each bare cell requires a robotic arm for assembly. Because the positive and negative electrode materials of the bare cells are thin and brittle, the robotic arm can easily damage the coatings of the positive and negative electrodes during the gripping process, severely affecting the charging and discharging performance and safety of the lithium battery. More importantly, the large-scale scrapping increases the cost burden on enterprises. To address this issue, this utility model designs a bare cell gripping fixture that perfectly solves the cost, safety, and performance problems caused by robotic arms gripping cells. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a bare battery cell gripper that can safely and reliably grip the battery cell, and protect the bare battery cell with rubber pads and heat shrink tubing to ensure the quality of the battery cell.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a bare battery cell gripper, comprising an external connecting plate, a fixed plate, a slider, a gripper bracket connecting plate, a gripper bracket, a stroke cylinder, a limit sensor, a rubber pad fixing groove, a rubber pad, and a heat shrink tubing. The external connecting plate is connected to the end face of the fixed plate. A stroke cylinder and a slider are respectively provided on both sides of the fixed plate. The slider is connected to the gripper bracket connecting plate. The gripper bracket is fixed on the gripper bracket connecting plate. A heat shrink tubing is fitted on the gripper bracket. The rubber pad fixing groove is connected to the cylinder rod of the stroke cylinder. A rubber pad is fixed in the rubber pad fixing groove. A limit sensor is also provided on the slider.

[0005] Preferably, the gripper bracket is provided in two parts.

[0006] Preferably, the gripper bracket is L-shaped. The beneficial effects of this utility model...

[0007] 1. The use of heat shrink tubing and rubber pads effectively protects the surface of the bare battery cells, preventing damage during clamping and thus ensuring battery performance and safety.

[0008] 2. The use of limit sensors can precisely control the stroke of the gripper bracket, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the gripping action and avoiding over-gripping or incomplete gripping.

[0009] 3. The reasonable layout and connection of components such as external connecting plate, cylinder slider fixing plate, stroke cylinder, slider / rubber pad, rubber pad fixing groove, gripper bracket, and bracket connecting block make the entire gripper structure compact and efficient.

[0010] 4. The combined use of cylinders and sliders allows the gripper bracket to move flexibly, adapting to bare battery cells of different sizes and shapes, thus improving the versatility and applicability of the grippers.

[0011] 5. Heat shrink tubing has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, wear resistance, moisture and dust resistance, which can effectively extend the service life of the clamps and reduce the frequency of maintenance and replacement.

[0012] 6. The use of rubber pads not only protects the bare battery cells, but also provides a certain degree of cushioning, reducing the impact and pressure on the battery during clamping and improving operational safety.

[0013] 7. By combining cylinders and sensors, the gripper operation is automated, improving production efficiency and reducing manual intervention and errors. Attached Figure Description

[0017] Referring to Figures 1-2, the specific embodiment adopts the following technical solution: a bare cell gripper

[0018] The gripper includes an external connecting plate 1, a fixed plate 2, a slider 3, a gripper bracket connecting plate 4, a gripper bracket 5, a stroke cylinder 6, a limit sensor 7, a rubber pad fixing groove 8, a rubber pad 9, and a heat shrink tubing 10. The external connecting plate 1 is connected to the end face of the fixed plate 2, and the two ends of the fixed plate 2 are connected.

[0019] A stroke cylinder 6 and a slider 3 are respectively provided on the side. The slider 3 is connected to the gripper bracket connecting plate 4.

[0020] The gripper bracket 5 is fixed on the gripper bracket connecting plate 4, and a heat shrink tubing is fitted onto the gripper bracket 5.

[0022] It is worth noting that there are two gripper supports 5. Furthermore, the gripper supports 5 are L-shaped.

[0023] The working principle of this specific implementation is as follows: The end faces of the external connecting plate and the cylinder fixing plate are connected. One side of the cylinder fixing plate fixes the slider, and the other side fixes the forming cylinder. The slider is connected to the bracket connecting block, and the gripper bracket is fixed on the bracket connecting block. The rubber fixing groove is connected to the stroke cylinder, and the rubber pad is fixed in the rubber pad fixing groove. A heat shrink tubing is fitted on the gripper bracket.
