In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 3The utility model provides a kind of liquid flow battery stack control box automatic on-line device, including mechanical arm 1, support frame 2, two clamping arms 3 and with support frame 2 connection suction piece 4, mechanical arm 1 is connected with mounting plate 11;Support frame 2 is detachably connected with mounting plate 11;Two clamping arms 3 are all set in support frame 2, at least one clamping arm 3 is connected with driving element 31, to make the clamping arm 3 with driving element 31 be slidably connected with support frame 2;Suction piece 4 is set between two clamping arms 3.

[0031] In the embodiment, mounting plate 11 is set in the action end of mechanical arm 1, the length direction of support frame 2 is parallel with the length direction of mounting plate 11, two clamping arms 3 are parallelly set in both ends of support frame 2, support frame 2 is detachably connected with mounting plate 11 by bolt, driving element 31 is cylinder, the fixed end of cylinder is fixedly connected with support frame 2, the output end of cylinder is fixedly connected with clamping arm 3, to make clamping arm 3 can slide along the length direction of support frame 2, and suction piece 4 is set in support frame 2.

[0032] Therefore, when mechanical arm 1 drives support frame 2 to move to the vicinity of control box, suction piece 4 can suck one of the side walls of control box, and the clamping arms 3 located on both sides of suction piece 4 can clamp the opposite two side walls of control box, so that control box can be carried by mechanical arm 1, labor cost is reduced, carrying efficiency and man-machine engineering property are improved, and the risk of falling during manual carrying is reduced.

[0033] It can be understood that driving element 31 can also be a linear motor or other linear driving structure, which can realize linear motion of driving clamping arm 3, and will not be enumerated here.

[0034] Further, the side walls of the two clamping arms 3 close to each other can be provided with a buffer piece (not shown in the figure) made of elastic material to improve the friction between the clamping arm 3 and the control box, reduce the wear of the control box caused by the clamping arm 3, and improve the carrying efficiency and carrying safety.

[0035] It can be understood that the buffer piece can be a buffer pad or a buffer strip arranged side by side, and the buffer piece can be made of rubber, silicone or other materials, so that it has a certain elasticity and a large friction coefficient, so that the control box is not easy to fall off when clamped by the clamping arm 3.

[0036] Referring to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the two clamping arms 3 are slidably connected with the support frame 2, and the driving element 31 is correspondingly arranged with the clamping arm 3, that is, two driving elements 31 are arranged, the output ends of the two driving elements 31 are respectively arranged on the side walls of the two clamping arms 3 close to each other, and the sliding direction of the clamping arm 3 is parallel to the length direction of the support frame 2.

[0037] This improves the flexibility of the clamping arm 3, making it easier to clamp the control box. The suction component 4 can suck up the side wall between the two opposite side walls of the control box, improving the stability of the control box during transportation, preventing the control box from falling off the support frame 2, improving transportation efficiency, and reducing labor costs.

[0038] It is understandable that one of the clamping arms 3 can be fixedly set on the support frame 2, and the other clamping arm 3 can be slidably connected to the support frame 2, so as to clamp the two opposite side walls of the control box; a driving component 31 can also be set, and the two clamping arms 3 can be moved in the direction of approaching or moving away from each other through the linkage structure, which will not be elaborated here.

[0039] See Figure 3 In some embodiments, the drive element 31 is disposed on the side of the support frame 2 facing the mounting plate 11.

[0040] In this embodiment, sliding grooves 22 are respectively provided at both ends of the support frame 2. The length direction of the sliding grooves 22 is parallel to the length direction of the support frame 2. One end of each of the two clamping arms 3 passes through the sliding grooves 22 and is connected to the driving member 31. That is, the end of the clamping arm 3 that holds the control box and the end of the clamping arm 3 that connects to the driving member 31 are respectively located on both sides of the support frame 2.

[0041] By placing the drive unit 31 on the side of the support frame 2 facing the mounting plate 11, the overall structure can be made more compact, and collisions between the control box and the drive unit 31 can be avoided during transportation, thereby improving transportation efficiency and safety, and reducing labor costs.

[0042] It is understandable that the drive component 31 can also be set on the side of the support frame 2 away from the mounting plate 11, as long as it can drive the movement of the clamping arm 3, which will not be elaborated here.

[0043] See Figure 3 In some embodiments, a guide rail 21 is connected to the support frame 2, and a slider 211 is provided on the guide rail 21. The slider 211 is slidably connected to the guide rail 21, and the clamping arm 3 is connected to the slider 211.

[0044] One clamping arm 3 is connected to two guide rails 21. The length direction of the guide rail 21 is parallel to the length direction of the support frame 2. The two guide rails 21 connected to the same clamping arm 3 are respectively set at the top and bottom of the support frame 2. A slider 211 is set on one guide rail 21.

[0045] In this way, by connecting the clamping arm 3 to the slider 211, the clamping arm 3 can move in a specific direction, preventing the clamping arm 3 from deviating during the movement, and making the force on the clamping arm 3 more balanced, which makes it easier to stably transport the control box with a certain weight onto the line, improve the handling efficiency, and reduce labor costs.

[0046] It can be understood that one clamping arm 3 can also correspond to connecting one guide rail 21. In the embodiment, the clamping arm 3 is connected with two guide rails 21, so as to improve the stability of the clamping arm 3 in the moving process. A plurality of sliding blocks 211 connected with the clamping arm 3 can also be arranged on one guide rail 21. The arrangement positions and the number of the guide rail 21 and the clamping arm 3 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, and too much enumeration is not made here.

[0047] Referring to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the clamping arm 3 is connected with a connecting plate 32, and the connecting plate 32 is connected with the sliding block 211. The connecting plate 32 is arranged on the side of the sliding block 211 away from the guide rail 21, and the length direction of the connecting plate 32 is perpendicular to the length direction of the guide rail 21. The two sliding blocks 211 corresponding to the same clamping arm 3 are fixedly connected with the two ends of the connecting plate 32 respectively. The connecting plate 32 is fixedly connected with the clamping arm 3, and further, the connecting plate 32 is arranged in an integrated manner with the clamping arm 3.

[0048] In this way, the clamping arm 3 is connected with the sliding block 211 through the connecting plate 32, so that when the driving member 31 drives the clamping arm 3 to move, the clamping arm 3 can stably move along the length direction of the guide rail 21, the carrying efficiency is improved, and the labor cost is reduced.

[0049] It can be understood that the connecting plate 32 can also be detachably connected with the clamping arm 3 through bolts, so as to facilitate the mounting and dismounting of the clamping arm 3. In the embodiment, the connecting plate 32 is arranged in an integrated manner with the clamping arm 3, so as to improve the connecting strength of the connecting plate 32 and the clamping arm 3, and further improve the stability in the carrying process.

[0050] Referring to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the length direction of the clamping arm 3 is perpendicular to the length direction of the connecting plate 32, the clamping arm 3 is connected with a reinforcing rib 33, and the reinforcing rib 33 is connected with the connecting plate 32. One clamping arm 3 is connected with two reinforcing ribs 33. The two ends of one reinforcing rib 33 are fixedly connected with one end of the clamping arm 3 clamping the control box and the side of the connecting plate 32 away from the support frame 2 respectively. The two ends of the other reinforcing rib 33 are fixedly connected with the side of the connecting plate 32 facing the support frame 2 and the end of the clamping arm 3 connected with the driving member 31 respectively.

[0051] In this way, the reinforcing rib 33 can improve the structural strength of the clamping arm 3, so that the clamping arm 3 is not easy to deform in the process of clamping the control box, the carrying efficiency and the carrying safety are improved, the stable carrying of the control box is realized, and the labor cost is reduced.

[0052] It can be understood that the arrangement positions and the number of the reinforcing rib 33 can be flexibly adjusted, so as to improve the connecting strength of the clamping arm 3 and the support frame 2, and too much enumeration is not made here.

[0053] Referring to Figure 4In some embodiments, the suction member 4 is a sponge suction cup arranged on the side of the support frame 2 away from the mounting plate 11. The length direction of the sponge suction cup is parallel to the length direction of the support frame 2.

[0054] In this way, the mechanical arm 1 can move the clamping arm 3 and the suction member 4 to the side wall of the control box, clamp and suck the control box, and stably carry the control box to the line, thereby reducing labor costs and improving carrying efficiency. In addition, the control box is limited by the clamping arm 3 and the suction member 4, which can reduce the risk of falling during carrying.

[0055] It can be understood that the suction member 4 can also be a plurality of vacuum suction cups arranged at intervals. In the present embodiment, a sponge suction cup is used to facilitate the suction of the side wall of the control box. The specific type and arrangement position of the suction member 4 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, and will not be described here.

[0056] Referring to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the liquid flow battery stack control box automatic line device further comprises a blocking member (not shown in the figure) arranged on the support frame 2. The blocking member is a blocking air cylinder arranged between the two clamping arms 3.

[0057] In the present embodiment, two blocking members are arranged at the top and bottom of the support frame 2 to prevent the control box from falling off the mechanical arm 1.

[0058] In this way, the blocking member can improve the safety of carrying the control box during carrying, stably carry the control box to the line, improve the carrying efficiency, and reduce the labor costs.

[0059] It can be understood that the blocking member can also be arranged only at the bottom of the support frame 2. The blocking member can also be a blocking plate fixedly arranged or turned over on the support frame 2. The arrangement position and specific structure of the blocking member can be flexibly adjusted as long as the control box can be blocked.

[0060] Further, the liquid flow battery stack control box automatic line device further comprises a detection member (not shown in the figure) arranged on the support frame 2 to determine whether the clamping arm 3 and the suction member 4 are moved to the required position.

[0061] In this way, the detection member can improve the movement accuracy of the clamping arm 3 and the suction member 4, realize the automatic carrying of the control box to the line, reduce labor costs, improve carrying efficiency, avoid excessive movement of the clamping arm 3 and the suction member 4 and collision with the control box, and improve the safety of carrying.

[0062] It can be understood that the detection member can be a photoelectric sensor or a microswitch structure. The detection of whether the clamping arm 3 and the suction member 4 are moved to the required position by the detection member is prior art, and will not be described here.

[0063] Referring to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the bottom of the mechanical arm 1 (i.e. the fixed end of the mechanical arm 1) is connected with a base 12.

[0064] The base 12 is detachably connected with the mechanical arm 1 through bolts, and the side of the base 12 away from the mechanical arm 1 is connected with a bottom plate 121, and the bottom plate 121 is provided with anchor bolts (not shown in the figure) to fix the bottom plate 121 on the ground.

[0065] In this way, by arranging the base 12 and the bottom plate 121, the stability of the mechanical arm 1 can be improved, and the control box can be conveniently carried onto the line under the action of the clamping arm 3 and the suction member 4, the safety and the carrying efficiency during the carrying process are improved, and the labor cost is reduced.

[0066] It can be understood that the base 12 and the mechanical arm 1 can also be fixedly connected through welding or the like, and the connection mode of the base 12 and the mechanical arm 1 can be flexibly adjusted, which will not be described herein.
