Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery cell technology, specifically to a biomimetic flexible gripper-type battery cell non-destructive transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] A battery cell refers to a single electrochemical cell containing positive and negative electrodes, and is generally not used directly. This differs from a battery, which includes a protection circuit and a casing and can be used directly. A lithium-ion rechargeable battery consists of a battery cell and a protection circuit board. Removing the protection circuit board from the rechargeable battery leaves the battery cell. It is the energy storage component of the rechargeable battery. The quality of the battery cell directly determines the quality of the rechargeable battery.

[0003] During battery cell production, a non-destructive battery cell transfer device is required. For example, Chinese patent discloses a stacked battery cell carrier and transfer device, publication (announcement) number: CN220264300U. It includes a transfer carrier bracket, a battery cell frame, two battery cell top fixing clamps, a battery cell bottom movable clamping assembly, two battery cell side movable clamping assemblies, a barcode scanner, and a material sensor. The battery cell frame carries the stacked battery cells, the two battery cell top fixing clamps abut against the two sides of the top surface of the stacked battery cells, the battery cell bottom movable clamping assembly clamps the bottom surface of the stacked battery cells, and the two battery cell side movable clamping assemblies clamp the two sides of the stacked battery cells, forming a stacked battery cell clamping opening. The barcode scanner scans to obtain the code on the stacked battery cells, and the material sensor detects whether there are stacked battery cells in the stacked battery cell clamping opening, which can reliably and comprehensively fix and load the stacked battery cells. A stacked battery cell transfer device includes a transfer mechanism and one or more stacked battery cell carriers. The transfer mechanism includes a transfer base, a transfer linear module, a transfer slide block, and a transfer slide block. It can drive one or more stacked battery cell carriers to carry one or more stacked battery cells for transfer, with high transfer efficiency. The above-mentioned patent can drive one or more stacked battery cell carriers to carry one or more stacked battery cells for transfer with high transfer efficiency. However, it cannot use the principle of bionic claws to transfer the battery cells without damage. As a result, users can only use the transfer linear module, transfer slide block, and transfer slide block for planar transfer. When transferring battery cells in a planar manner, they are prone to collision with the device due to inertia. It is impossible to use bionic flexible grippers to remove the battery cells without damage for transfer, thus affecting the normal use of the device. Utility Model Content
