Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of battery swapping station technology, and in particular relates to a battery handling mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] The battery handling mechanism is an important component of the battery swapping station for transporting batteries. It typically includes an X-axis motion mechanism that moves horizontally, a Y-axis linear motion mechanism, and a Z-axis motion mechanism that moves vertically. The battery can be transported by fixing a clamping component on the X-axis motion mechanism.

[0003] For example, the utility model patent with publication number CN221275001U discloses a positioning and gripping device for a heavy truck swapping station, including: a Z-axis guide rail, the bottom of which is connected to the gripping device via an electric turntable, and the Z-axis guide rail is vertically slidably connected to a drive assembly; an X-axis guide rail, which is horizontally slidably connected to the drive assembly, with connecting mechanisms installed at both ends of the X-axis guide rail, and visual recognition and positioning equipment installed on the connecting mechanisms; the connecting mechanisms are connected to the Y-axis guide rail via rubber wheels, and the rubber wheels are connected to the Y-axis servo motor; the Y-axis guide rail is fixedly installed on the gantry beam.

[0004] The solution shown in the aforementioned public documents can complete the battery handling operation. However, in practice, it is only applicable to single-layer, top-to-bottom battery placement schemes. When multiple battery placement positions exist, its structure prevents the horizontal placement of batteries (see [reference]). Figure 1 Therefore, a new solution is needed to avoid the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a battery handling mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a battery handling mechanism, including a bracket and an X-axis moving mechanism, a Y-axis moving mechanism, a Z-axis moving mechanism disposed thereon, and a clamping component capable of clamping the battery;

[0007] The X-axis moving mechanism is mounted on the Z-axis moving mechanism and moves with it in the vertical direction; the Y-axis moving mechanism is mounted on the X-axis moving mechanism and moves with it in the X-axis direction.

[0008] The Y-axis moving mechanism includes a horizontally arranged telescopic component, and the clamping component is disposed at the telescopic end of the telescopic component.

[0009] Preferably, the telescopic assembly includes a base plate disposed on the X-axis moving mechanism, a telescopic plate, and a drive mechanism for controlling the telescopic plate to reciprocate along the base plate in the horizontal direction, and the clamping assembly is placed on the telescopic plate.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes a second telescopic plate, which reciprocates on the first telescopic plate, and the clamping assembly is disposed on the second telescopic plate;

[0011] A transmission rack is provided on the base plate, a transmission gear is provided on the telescopic plate, and a transmission rack is provided on the telescopic plate. The transmission rack meshes between the transmission rack and the transmission rack.

[0012] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes a drive motor, a lead screw, and a fixing block, wherein the fixing block is threadedly connected to the lead screw and connected to the telescopic plate.

[0013] Preferably, a transmission wheel is fixed to one end of the lead screw, and the drive motor is connected to the transmission wheel via a transmission belt.

[0014] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes a second drive motor, a second lead screw, a second fixing block, and a clamping jaw, wherein the second fixing block is threadedly connected to the first lead screw and connected to the clamping jaw.

[0015] Preferably, the Z-axis moving mechanism includes a vertically arranged guide rail three, a sliding seat one that moves along the guide rail three, and a driving mechanism two that controls the movement of the sliding seat one along the guide rail three.

[0016] Preferably, the X-axis moving mechanism includes a horizontally arranged guide rail four, a sliding seat two sliding on the guide rail four, and a driving mechanism three. The driving mechanism three drives the sliding seat two to move along the guide rail four, and the base plate moves with the sliding seat two.

[0017] Preferably, the sliding seat 2 is provided with a horizontal rotation mechanism, and the base plate is located at the rotating end of the horizontal rotation mechanism.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting a telescopic component and placing the clamping component at the telescopic end of the telescopic component, the battery can be moved horizontally on the Y-axis when it is being picked up or put down horizontally. This avoids the influence of the X-axis or Z-axis moving mechanism, effectively ensuring the smooth picking up and putting down of the battery in the horizontal direction.

[0019] The structural design of telescopic plate 2 and telescopic plate 1 can further increase the amount of movement of the battery on the horizontal Y-axis.

[0020] By setting up a transmission wheel, the installation position requirements for the drive motor can be reduced, thus preventing the problem of installation in confined spaces.

[0021] By incorporating a horizontal rotation mechanism, the overall flexibility of the product can be increased, enabling it to perform the function of reversing material handling. Attached Figure Description

[0039] See Figure 3 for details. Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 The telescopic assembly includes a base plate 18, a telescopic plate 14, and a drive mechanism 1 for controlling the telescopic plate to reciprocate along the base plate 18 in the horizontal direction. The clamping assembly 17 is placed on the telescopic plate 14. The telescopic assembly also includes a telescopic plate 15, which reciprocates on the telescopic plate 14. The clamping assembly 17 is placed on the telescopic plate 15. A guide rail 29 is provided on the base plate 18, and the telescopic plate 14 moves along the guide rail 29. A guide rail 27 is provided on the telescopic plate 14, and the telescopic plate 15 moves along the guide rail 27.

[0040] Specifically, the base plate 18 is provided with a transmission rack 25, the telescopic plate 14 is provided with a transmission gear 24, and the telescopic plate 15 is provided with a transmission rack 26. The transmission gear meshes between the transmission rack 25 and the transmission rack 26. The drive mechanism includes a drive motor 19, a lead screw 22, and a fixing block 23.

One end of the lead screw 22 is fixed with the transmission wheel 21. A set of transmission wheels 20 with two wheel grooves is fixed on the base plate 18. The drive motor 19 is connected to the transmission wheel 20 via a transmission belt. The transmission wheel 20 is connected to the transmission wheel 21 via another transmission belt. The base plate 18 can be driven to move along the guide rail 8 by the drive mechanism 3 10.

[0041] Among them, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 A horizontal rotation mechanism 13 is provided on the sliding seat 2 9, and the base plate 18 is located at the rotating end of the horizontal rotation mechanism 13. The horizontal rotation mechanism 13 can be a rotary motor.

A transmission wheel 1704 is fixed at one end of lead screw 1706. Drive motor 1703 is connected to transmission wheel 1704 via a transmission belt.

[0043] Working principle and process:

[0044] When this solution is in use, the X-axis moving mechanism works in conjunction with the Z-axis moving mechanism to locate the position of the battery 16. Then, the horizontal rotation mechanism 13 controls the gripping group on it to align with the battery 16. Subsequently, the drive mechanism 1 controls the extension component to extend, and the drive motor 2 1703 controls the gripper 1702 to grip the battery 16.

[0045] During the process of placing or removing the battery 16 into or from the battery 16 compartment, the work can be effectively completed by adjusting the telescopic length of the telescopic component. This avoids the problem in traditional battery 16 handling mechanisms where the battery 16 cannot be horizontally delivered into the battery 16 compartment due to structural limitations.

[0046] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
