[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the blade battery module box mounting fixture includes:

[0034] gripper component 1;

[0035] Vacuum sponge assembly 4 is installed below gripper assembly 1 and the gripper assembly 1 controls the suction module;

[0036] Side clamping assembly 2 is installed on both sides of the short side of gripper assembly 1. It is controlled by gripper assembly 1 to lift and clamp, and limits the module sucked by vacuum sponge assembly 4 to prevent the module from spreading out in a fan shape.

[0037] Bottom support component 3 is installed on both sides of the long side of gripper component 1. It is controlled by gripper component 1 to rotate and is used for module picking and positioning, module placement in box positioning and preventing module from falling.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the gripper assembly 1 includes a gripper body 1.5. Operating handles 1.4 and a control end are respectively connected to the two short sides of the gripper body 1.5. A valve island 1.3 is provided on the gripper body 1.5. The control end is connected to and controls the vacuum sponge assembly 4, the side clamp assembly 2, and the bottom support assembly 3 through the valve island 1.3. The gripper body 1.5 serves as the supporting body for the tooling, and all components are centrally mounted on the gripper body 1.5. The tooling can be easily moved using the operating handles 1.4.

[0039] Furthermore, the control unit includes a touch screen 1.1 and a button box 1.2 that is compatible with the touch screen 1.1. The button box 1.2, together with the touch screen 1.1, can perform safety settings in advance to avoid damage to the battery module during the process of tooling picking up and putting it into the box.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the side clamping assembly 2 includes a side clamping support plate 2.1 mounted on the short side of the gripper assembly 1. A lifting plate 2.2 is slidably connected to the outer side of the side clamping support plate 2.1. A lifting cylinder 2.3 connected to the side clamping support plate 2.1 is provided on the lifting plate 2.2. A side clamping mechanism is connected to the bottom end of the lifting plate 2.2. The lifting cylinder 2.3, in conjunction with the lifting plate 2.2, can adjust the height position of the side clamping mechanism according to the battery module configuration.

[0041] Furthermore, the side clamping mechanism includes a side clamping cylinder 2.4 connected to the outside of the lifting plate 2.2. The power output end of the side clamping cylinder 2.4 passes through the lifting plate 2.2 and is connected to a side clamping block 2.6. The side clamping block 2.6 is provided with a telescopic guide post 2.5 connected to the lifting plate 2.2. The side clamping cylinder 2.4 drives the side clamping block 2.6 to form a counter-clamping operation, thereby achieving clamping of the short side of the battery module and preventing the battery module from fanning out during the extraction and transfer process after the vacuum sponge assembly 4 sucks up the module.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bottom-holding assembly 3 includes a bottom-holding cylinder 3.1 mounted on the gripper body 1.5. The power output end of the bottom-holding cylinder 3.1 drives a synchronous transmission mechanism, on which several U-shaped brackets 3.5 are fixedly connected. The inner sides of all U-shaped brackets 3.5 are connected to a side clamping plate 3.6 and a bottom-holding plate 3.7. The bottom-holding cylinder 3.1 drives the U-shaped brackets 3.5 to expand outward and contract inward, thereby clamping the long side of the battery module, improving the fixing effect of the battery module and preventing it from falling. The side clamping plate 3.6 is provided with a pin hole, which can be manually inserted for limiting in the event of a power outage.

[0043] Furthermore, the synchronous transmission mechanism includes a fixed seat 3.4 fixed on the long side of the gripper body 1.5, a transmission rod 3.3 rotatably connected to the fixed seat 3.4, a U-shaped bracket 3.5 fixedly connected to the transmission rod 3.3, a drive plate 3.2 fixedly connected to the transmission rod 3.3, and the other end of the drive plate 3.2 rotatably connected to the power output end of the bottom-mounted cylinder 3.1.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 5As shown, the vacuum sponge assembly 4 includes a vacuum frame 4.1. The bottom of the vacuum frame 4.1 is connected to a positioning pin 4.4 and a block-shaped, independently controlled sponge suction cup 4.5. The side of the vacuum frame 4.1 is connected to a positioning detection device 4.2 and a positioning hole 4.3. The block-shaped, independently controlled sponge suction cup 4.5 is detachable, compatible with battery modules of various lengths. Furthermore, the material properties of the sponge suction cup 4.5 reduce damage to the battery module and prevent impact on its internal structure. The positioning pin 4.4, positioning hole 4.3, and positioning detection device 4.2 improve the accuracy of the tooling in picking up and placing the battery module into the box, avoiding accidental damage to the battery module.

[0045] In use, the manual operation of the button box 1.2 can trigger the control valve island 1.3, thereby driving and controlling the vacuum sponge assembly 4, the bottom support assembly 3, and the side clamp assembly 2.

[0046] The operator manually holds the handle 1.4 to move the module loading fixture above the battery module. The sponge suction cup 4.5 slowly presses down on the battery module. Before pressing down, the module is positioned using the positioning pin 4.4 to prevent inaccurate positioning from failing to pick up the module. The positioning detection 4.2 mainly detects whether the module has been pressed down completely. If it has, a prompt will be displayed on the touch screen 1.1 to prevent overpressure damage to the module.

[0047] After the bottom support assembly 3 and the side clamp assembly 2 are in place, the operator holds the operating handle 1.4 to transport the battery module above the PACK. The operator presses the button on the operating button box 1.2, and the bottom support assembly 3 and the clamping mechanism open. The operator holds the operating handle 1.4 to put the battery module into the box so that the pin is inserted into the positioning hole 4.3. When the gripper assembly 1 is lowered into place, the operator presses the button on the operating button box 1.2, and the sponge suction cup 4.5 releases air, lowers the battery module, and then raises the gripper assembly 1 and moves it away.

[0048] During operation, the positioning detection 4.2 is interlocked with the movement of the gripper assembly 1 to prevent fooling and ensure the safety of operation. The sponge suction cup 4.5 is equipped with a sensor for detection, which interacts with the movement of the gripper assembly 1 to prevent the gripper assembly 1 from lifting or moving if the suction is insufficient or the battery module is not picked up.
