[0010] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an automatic feeding device for the connecting plate of aluminum battery box accessories for new energy vehicles. Detailed Implementation

[0011] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0012] In the diagram, the main frame is 100; the feeding unit is 200; the discharging unit is 300; the conveyor belt is 400; the material box positioning component is 500; the sensor is 600; the accessory gripping area is 700; the material box recycling area is 800; the material box is 900; the aluminum battery box accessory connecting plate is 1000; the transverse guide rail is 1001; the gripping component is 1002; the gripping robot is 1003; the gripping hook is 1004; the lifting unit is 1005; the lowering unit is 1006; and the electrical control system is 1007.

[0013] like Figure 1As shown, this automatic feeding device for aluminum battery box accessory connecting plates in new energy vehicles includes a main frame 100. The main frame 100 is equipped with a feeding unit 200, a discharging unit 300, a transverse gripping unit, a lifting unit 1005, a lowering unit 1006, an external robotic arm, and an electronic control system 1007. The electronic control system 1007 is integrated with the feeding unit 200, the discharging unit 300, the transverse gripping unit, the lifting unit 1005, the lowering unit 1006, and the external robotic arm. The electrical connection controls its operation. For convenient loading and unloading, both the feeding unit 200 and the discharging unit 300 include a conveyor belt 400. The feeding unit 200 primarily transports the aluminum battery box accessory connecting plate 1000 onto the material box 900, while the discharging unit 300 recycles the empty material box 900. A material box positioning component 500 is installed on the conveyor belt 400, and a sensor 600 is installed on the material box positioning component 500. The sensor 600... The robot can detect whether there is a corresponding aluminum battery box accessory connecting plate 1000. A working area is located at one end of the main frame 100. In this patent, the working area is divided into an accessory gripping area 700 and a box recycling area 800. The accessory gripping area 700 facilitates the robot's gripping of the aluminum battery box accessory connecting plate 1000 from the box 900. The box recycling area 800 is for recycling empty boxes 900. During operation, the aluminum battery box accessory connecting plate 1000 is placed on the box 900. The box 900 can be placed on the feeding unit 200 and transported to the working area via the lifting unit 1005. After the external robot arm empties the aluminum battery box accessory connecting plate 1000 from the box 900, the lateral gripping unit grabs the empty box 900, moves it laterally, and then places it in the discharge unit 300 via the lowering unit 1006 for transport to the outlet position. This improves product quality and reduces labor costs: it reduces manual operation, lowers labor costs, and reduces the labor intensity of workers.

[0014] To facilitate gripping and enable rapid and accurate feeding of the connecting plate, the transverse gripping unit includes a transverse guide rail 1001, a gripping component 1002, and a gripping robot 1003. The gripping component 1002 is mounted on the gripping robot 1003. The gripping robot 1003 drives the gripping component 1002 to grip empty material boxes. One end of the gripping component 1002 is fitted onto the transverse guide rail 1001 and can move along the transverse guide rail 1001 from the accessory gripping area 700 to the material box recycling area 800. Both ends of the gripping component 1002 have gripping hooks 1004, which can reliably grip empty material boxes for recycling operations.

[0015] During operation, the material box is filled with 50 layers of aluminum battery box accessory connecting plate 1000 and can be conveyed to conveyor belt 400 via RGV. Conveyor belt 400 can store a total of 1000 PCS of products. Each section of conveyor belt 400 is equipped with sensor 600 for automatic material replenishment and automatic material box discharge. After being conveyed to the designated position, it is raised by lifting unit 1005. The lifting distance is automatically compensated according to the thickness of the material box. After reaching the designated height, the external robot arm grabs the product. After the products in the material box are removed, the gripping robot 1003, in conjunction with the transverse guide rail 1001, starts to grab the material box to the material box recycling area 800. The material box then descends to the exit position and is conveyed away by conveyor belt 400, thus completing the cycle.

[0016] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples of the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications to the described specific embodiments or adopt similar methods to replace them, but without departing from the scope defined by the spirit of this utility model.
