Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical gripper technology, and in particular relates to a battery recycling and gripping device. Background Technology

[0002] In the lead-acid battery recycling industry, when batteries are neatly stacked on vehicles, moving them becomes a challenge because only the top surface is exposed. Existing grippers are unusable due to the difficulty in finding suitable gripping surfaces. Magnetic suction is also ineffective because the batteries being moved are not magnetic. Vacuum suction cups also have low handling efficiency due to the varying sizes and masses of the recycled batteries, and the presence of acid filling ports and electrodes on the top surface. A reliable method is needed to find a reliable handling point on the top surface. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a battery recycling and grabbing device to solve the technical problem of difficulty in grabbing and transporting batteries during the recycling process.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A battery recycling gripping device includes a gripping device body, on which at least one set of oppositely arranged inclined drill assemblies are provided. The inclined drill assembly includes an inclined first guide rail and a first electric drill disposed on the first guide rail. The first electric drill moves along the first guide rail under the drive of a motor.

[0006] When the first electric drill moves to the lower stop point of the first guide rail, the first drill bits of the two first electric drills pass through the bottom end face of the gripping device body and form a clamping part; when the first electric drill moves to the upper stop point of the first guide rail, the first drill bits retract relative to the bottom end face of the gripping device body.

[0007] Thus, the first electric drill of this utility model moves towards the lower stop point of the first guide rail under the drive of the motor and drills a hole at an angle on the battery casing. When the first electric drill moves to the lower stop point of the first guide rail, the drilling is completed. At this time, the first drill bit bears the force when lifting the battery to realize the battery recovery and grabbing.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom end face of the gripping device body is provided with a guide tube. When the first electric drill moves towards the lower stop point of the first guide rail, the first drill bit passes through the guide tube and extends out from the end of the guide tube; when the first electric drill moves towards the upper stop point of the first guide rail, the end of the first drill bit retracts into the guide tube. This utility model can effectively avoid the battery's acid filling port and electrodes by setting the guide tube, thus guiding the drill bit.

[0009] Furthermore, the inclined drill assembly may consist of 2, 3, or 4 components.

[0010] Furthermore, the gripping device body is also equipped with a positioning component, which includes a second electric drill installed between the inclined drilling components. The second electric drill is arranged vertically, and its second drill bit passes through the bottom end face of the gripping device body and extends downward. The vertically arranged second electric drill can drill a straight hole in the battery casing when the gripping device body moves downward. This straight hole serves as a positioning hole to facilitate the first electric drill drilling the inclined hole.

[0011] Furthermore, the positioning components consist of two sets.

[0012] Furthermore, the positioning component also includes a second guide rail, along which the second electric drill moves under the drive of a motor;

[0013] When the second electric drill moves to the lower stop point of the second guide rail, the second drill bit of the second electric drill passes through the bottom end face of the gripping device body; when the second electric drill moves to the upper stop point of the second guide rail, the second drill bit retracts relative to the bottom end face of the gripping device body.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom end face of the gripping device body is provided with a guide tube. When the second electric drill moves to the lower stop point of the second guide rail, the second drill bit passes through the guide tube and extends out from the end of the guide tube; when the second electric drill moves to the upper stop point of the second guide rail, the end of the second drill bit retracts into the guide tube.

[0015] Furthermore, each set of the oblique drilling components is symmetrically arranged so as to drill inwardly inclined and symmetrical oblique holes in the plastic casing of the battery, so that the clamping part is subjected to uniform force.

[0016] Furthermore, the tilt angle of the first guide rail is 40°~80°, and the tilt angle of the first guide rail is preferably 60°.

[0017] The present invention has the following advantages: In the absence of a gripping point on the battery, the present invention finds the gripping point by drilling symmetrical oblique holes on the battery casing, which has a high degree of automation. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, a more detailed description of this utility model is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, a battery recycling grabbing device of this utility model includes a grabbing device body 4, on which two sets of oppositely arranged inclined drilling components 8 are provided. Each set of inclined drilling components 8 is symmetrically arranged, and a positioning component 9 is provided between each set of inclined drilling components 8.

[0022] The inclined drilling assembly 8 includes an inclined first guide rail 5 with an inclination angle of 40° to 80°, preferably 60°. A first electric drill 2 is mounted on the first guide rail 5 and moves along the first guide rail 5 under the drive of a motor 1. When the first electric drill 2 reaches the lower stop point of the first guide rail 5, the first drill bit 3 of the first electric drill 2 passes through the bottom end face of the gripping device body 4 and forms a clamping part. When the first electric drill 2 reaches the upper stop point of the first guide rail 5, the first drill bit 3 retracts relative to the bottom end face of the gripping device body.

[0023] The positioning component 9 includes a second electric drill 10 and a second guide rail 11. The second guide rail 11 is arranged in a vertical direction, and the second electric drill 10 moves along the second guide rail 11 under the drive of the motor 1.

[0024] When the second electric drill 10 moves to the lower stop point of the second guide rail 11, the second drill bit 6 of the second electric drill 10 passes through the bottom end face of the gripping device body 4 and extends downward. When the second electric drill 10 moves to the upper stop point of the second guide rail 11, the second drill bit 6 retracts relative to the bottom end face of the gripping device body 4.

[0025] Preferably, the bottom end face of the gripping device body 4 is provided with a guide tube 7. When the first electric drill 2 and the second electric drill 10 move toward the lower stop point of the first guide rail 5 and the second guide rail 11 respectively, the first drill bit 3 and the second drill bit 6 pass through the guide tube 7 and extend out from the end of the guide tube 7. When the first electric drill 2 and the second electric drill 10 move toward the upper stop point of the first guide rail 5 and the second guide rail 11 respectively, the ends of the first drill bit 3 and the second drill bit 6 retract into the guide tube 7.

[0026] The battery recycling and gripping device of this embodiment is mainly used to individually transport batteries neatly stacked on a vehicle to a conveyor belt. The use of this invention includes the following steps:

[0027] Step 1: With the help of image recognition, the robotic arm moves the gripping device body 4 to directly above the battery.

[0028] Step 2: Start the positioning component 9. At the same time, the robotic arm drives the gripping device body 4 to move downwards. The second drill bit 6 of the second electric drill 10 drills two straight holes in the battery casing for positioning.

[0029] Step 3: Start the angled drilling assembly 8. At this time, the first electric drill 2 moves towards the lower stop point of the first guide rail 5 under the drive of the motor 1. The first drill bit 3 of the first electric drill 2 drills four angled holes in the battery casing and is placed at an angle in the holes. The robotic arm drives the gripping device body 4 to move upward and lift the battery to the designated position.

[0030] Step 4: After the battery is moved to the designated position, the motor 1 drives the first electric drill 2 to move towards the upper stop point of the first guide rail 5. At this time, the end of the first drill bit 3 retracts into the guide tube 7 to release the battery.
