It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0017] It should be noted that in this embodiment of the invention, all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are limited to relative positions on the specified view, rather than absolute positions.

[0018] Furthermore, in this utility model, the use of terms such as "first," "second," etc., is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The present invention relates to an automatic gripper mechanical device for cylindrical batteries, comprising a transverse module assembly 1, a controllable lifting shaft assembly 2, and a flexible gripper assembly 3. The controllable lifting shaft assembly 2 is connected to the transverse module assembly 1, and the transverse module assembly 1 drives the controllable lifting shaft assembly 2 to move back and forth. The flexible gripper assembly 3 is connected to the controllable lifting shaft assembly 2, and the controllable lifting shaft assembly 2 drives the flexible gripper assembly 3 to move up and down.

[0020] The transverse module assembly 1 includes a main frame 11, on which a linear slide rail is provided, and a slider 12 is slidably connected to the linear slide rail. The controllable lifting shaft assembly 2 is connected to the slider 12.

[0021] The transverse module assembly 1 uses 40mm*160mm profiles as the main frame support, with a 12mm iron reference plate on the inside. The power source for the transverse module assembly 1 is a servo motor plus a reducer, which drives a synchronous pulley and a synchronous belt. This allows the slider of the transverse module assembly 1 to move in a controlled manner.

[0022] The controllable lifting shaft assembly 2 includes a main support 21, which is connected to the slider 12. A lifting cylinder 22 is provided on the main support 21. The output end of the lifting cylinder 22 is connected to a first lifting plate 23. A second lifting plate 24 is connected to the bottom of the first lifting plate 23 by screws 25.

[0023] The controllable lifting shaft assembly 2 can adjust the height of the entire assembly by screws. The controllable lifting shaft assembly 2 is powered by a cylinder for lifting and lowering. It is equipped with a pressure regulating valve to control the cylinder air pressure during descent and a pilot solenoid valve to prevent the descent shaft from falling after power and air supply failure.

[0024] The flexible gripper assembly 3 includes two rows of parallel gripper cylinders 31. Each gripper cylinder 31 includes grippers 32 arranged symmetrically on the left and right. Each gripper 32 is connected to two cylindrical pins 33. A gripper cylinder 31 has a total of four cylindrical pins 33. All four cylindrical pins 33 are arranged vertically and are used to grip the battery.

[0025] The cylindrical pin 33 is wrapped with rubber.

[0026] The flexible gripper assembly 3 is powered by a gripper cylinder. The battery gripping part uses a standard cylindrical pin, and the contact points between the cylindrical pin and the cylindrical battery are wrapped with rubber to prevent damage to the battery. Each gripper cylinder is equipped with a battery valve, allowing each gripper to independently grip the cylindrical battery. The flexible gripper assembly is installed in a suspended manner.

[0027] During operation, the servo motor of the transverse module assembly 1 is started, driving the controllable lifting shaft assembly 2 and the flexible gripper assembly 3, which are fixed on the slider lock of the transverse module assembly 1, to move in a controlled manner to the material picking position;

[0028] The controllable lifting shaft assembly 2 drives the flexible gripper assembly 3 to descend and grasp. If the flexible gripper assembly 3 collides with a cylindrical battery or other obstacle during the descent and grasping process, the flexible gripper as a whole will rise and be accompanied by a sensor alarm. The controllable lifting shaft assembly 2 will stop descending. If there is no collision, the controllable lifting shaft assembly 2 will smoothly reach its position, and the gripper cylinder of the flexible gripper assembly 3 will close to simultaneously grasp the cylindrical batteries standing in the two sets of 256 trays. The controllable lifting shaft assembly 2 drives the flexible gripper assembly 3 to rise, and the servo motor of the transverse module assembly 1 will start, driving the controllable lifting shaft assembly 2 and the flexible gripper assembly 3, which are fixed on the slider lock of the transverse module assembly 1, to move in a controlled manner to the unloading position, thus completing the action.
