Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0021] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a new energy battery production line gripping and conveying equipment includes a gantry frame 1, a gripping unit 2, and a positioning unit 3. The gantry frame 1 has corresponding support force, and its top surface has a U-shaped frame 4 with an XY slide table 5 configured on the frame for moving the gripping unit 2 in two directions (a first direction and a second direction) in the horizontal plane. The gripping unit 2 moves along the XY slide table 5 in the first and second directions to grip battery modules at different positions. The gripping unit 2 has a third drive 6, which can drive the working end of the gripping unit 2 to move in the third direction (perpendicular to the XY plane) to realize the lifting and gripping actions of the battery modules.

[0022] Specifically, the gripping unit 2 includes a mounting frame 8, a connecting plate 9, two clamping parts 11, and a locking assembly. The mounting frame 8 is connected to the slide table 5 and moves with the slide table 5, allowing movement in the first and second directions. A third drive 6 is mounted on the bottom of the mounting frame 8. The connecting plate 9 is located at the telescopic end of the third drive 6 and provides corresponding support. A set of guide rails 10 is provided on both sides of the bottom length direction. The top of the clamping parts 11 slides along the guide rails 10 via sliding blocks to adjust the clamping width. The locking assembly is connected to the clamping parts 11 and is used to lock the clamping position of the clamping parts 11 relative to the connecting plate 9 to ensure stable gripping.

[0023] In this embodiment, preferably, the locking component includes a rack 16 fixedly disposed at the bottom of the connecting plate 9; and a side mounting plate 17 disposed on the sliding end of the clamping member 11. The bottom of the mounting plate 17 is provided with a pawl 18 for damping rotation. The working end of the pawl 18 engages with the teeth of the rack 16. The pawl 18 and the mounting plate 17 have a predetermined rotational damping value to ensure stable clamping. A handle 19 is disposed at the end of the pawl 18 opposite to the working end to facilitate the operation of engaging or disengaging the pawl 18 with the rack 16.

[0024] In this embodiment, preferably, the working surface of the clamping member 11 is provided with an anti-slip pad layer. The clamping member 11 includes a clamping plate 20 and clamping claws 21 disposed at the bottom of the clamping plate 20. The clamping plate 20 slides along the guide rail 10 through a sliding block to adjust the clamping width. Each clamping member 11 has two clamping claws 21 rotatably disposed at its bottom. The clamping claws 21 are bent inward at their ends for a predetermined length to increase clamping stability. Anti-slip pad layers are disposed at the bent ends and on the working surface of the clamping claws 21 to prevent the battery assembly from slipping.

[0025] In addition, in this embodiment, the top surfaces of the connecting plate 9 are provided with inverted U-shaped handles 22 at both ends, which facilitates the operator to move and adjust the position of the gripping unit 2.

[0026] In some preferred embodiments, the positioning unit 3 is disposed on the support column of the gantry frame 1 and is located at the feed outlet position in the conveying direction. It adjusts the width and position of the feed along the width direction of the conveyor line 7 to ensure that the battery assembly can be fed to a suitable position in the width direction of the conveyor line 7 for conveying.

[0027] Specifically, the positioning unit 3 includes a mounting block 12, which is slidably disposed on the corresponding support column of the gantry frame 1 and locked in position by a threaded rod 13; a connecting rod 14, one end of which is disposed on the side of the mounting block 12 and the other end extends to a predetermined length along the width direction of the conveyor line 7; and two positioning plates 15, which are slidably disposed on the connecting rod 14, have a predetermined working length, and have corresponding sliding damping with the connecting rod 14, for positioning the loading position of the battery assembly.

[0028] The specific usage is as follows: The device of this application is respectively configured at the loading end and unloading end of the conveyor line 7; when operating at the loading end, the gripping unit 2 moves above the target component via the XY slide table 5, and the third drive 6 drives the clamping member 11 to descend to a predetermined height. The two clamping members 11 slide to adjust the distance via the guide rail 10. After the pawl 18 engages with the rack 16, the clamping width is locked. The anti-slip pad at the end of the clamping claw 21 adaptively conforms to the battery surface; the clamping claw 21 wraps around the battery component through the end bending structure, and the clamping force gradually increases with the increase of pressure to prevent slippage caused by inertial fall. When the third drive 6 lifts the component, the locking mechanism of the pawl 18 and the rack 16 maintains a constant clamping force to avoid overload of the clamping force and damage to the battery casing.

[0029] The distance between the positioning components of the loading end positioning unit 3 is adjusted to limit the battery loading position, prevent loading deviation, and is compatible with battery modules of different sizes. At the unloading end, when the battery module reaches the unloading outlet through the conveyor line 7, the sliding positioning plate 15 of the positioning unit 3 adaptively adjusts the distance along the width direction. The damping design of the positioning plate 15 can offset the deviation caused by conveying inertia, so that the battery module is stably positioned in the preset gripping position to achieve unloading.

[0030] In this application, the slide table 5 and the third drive 6 can be controlled by a PLC controller for starting and stopping operations, which is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents. In summary, if those skilled in the art, inspired by this description, design similar structural methods and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Each component of this application can be driven by a corresponding external motor; this is prior art and will not be elaborated upon here.
