Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of battery processing technology, and in particular relates to a robotic arm for a battery disassembly assembly line. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, many factories now use robotic arms for automated operations. In battery disassembly lines, because batteries are heavy, robotic arms are used to move them, thereby reducing the labor of workers and improving processing efficiency. Furthermore, the use of robotic arms reduces human intervention and the risk of injury to workers.

[0003] During the process of handling batteries using a robotic arm, the batteries are heavy and traditional robotic arms often use grippers to hold them. This can easily cause the batteries to fall when the grippers lift them, damaging other items or surfaces and affecting the processing. To ensure stable gripping, the clamping force is increased. However, increasing the clamping force can easily cause the battery to be subjected to excessive force and damaged. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a robotic arm for battery disassembly production lines to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that batteries are easily dropped during the process of traditional robotic arms clamping and transporting batteries using grippers, and to propose a robotic arm for battery disassembly production lines.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a robotic arm for a battery disassembly assembly line, comprising a base, a robotic arm on the top surface of the base, a drive module at one end of the robotic arm, a clamping component at the bottom end of the drive module, and an auxiliary component on one side of the clamping component;

[0006] The clamping assembly includes a mounting frame, on both sides of which are fixedly mounted electric push rods. A shovel plate is fixedly mounted on the telescopic end of the electric push rod. A limit plate is fixedly mounted on one side of the shovel plate. A first wedge block is fixedly mounted on one side of the limit plate. A first spring is fixedly mounted on one side of the shovel plate. A mounting base is fixedly mounted on the other end of the first spring. A slider is slidably mounted on the mounting base through a groove opened therein. Second wedge blocks are fixedly mounted on both sides of the slider. A connecting rod is fixedly mounted on one side of the slider.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0008] The top of the mounting bracket is fixedly connected to one end of the drive module, and the mounting base is slidably connected to the limiting plate through the slots opened on both sides of it.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The first wedge and the second wedge are arranged opposite each other and their inclined surfaces correspond to each other. The limiting plate has a groove on one side that corresponds to the second wedge.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] The shovel plate is slidably connected to the mounting frame through a groove, and one end of the shovel plate is provided with a ramp.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] The auxiliary component includes a mounting plate, on one side of which a support frame is fixedly mounted. A gear is rotatably mounted on the support frame through a hole opened therein, and gear plates are meshed on both sides of the gear.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] A clamping plate is fixedly installed at one end of the toothed plate. A sliding rod is slidably installed on the mounting plate through a groove opened therein. An extrusion plate is fixedly installed at one end of the sliding rod. A rack is fixedly installed on one side of the extrusion plate. The rack meshes with a gear. Both the extrusion plate and the rack are slidably connected to the support frame through through holes opened therein.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] The rack and slide bar are both slidably mounted with a fixing rod through the grooves opened inside them. A second spring is fixedly mounted at one end of the fixing rod. Suction cups are fixedly mounted on the surfaces of the extrusion plate and the clamping plate.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] The toothed plate is slidably connected to the support frame through a groove opened in the support frame. The toothed plate has grooves corresponding to the rack and slide bar. One side of the support frame is fixedly connected to the connecting rod, and one end of the fixed rod is fixedly connected to one side of the slider.

[0021] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] 1. In this utility model, by incorporating a shovel plate, the design enables the battery to be blocked by moving the shovel plate below it during clamping, ensuring stable battery transport without increasing clamping force. This avoids the negative effects of excessive clamping force and prevents the battery from falling during transport by the robotic arm, thus ensuring stable battery transport. Furthermore, during the process of moving the shovel plate to the bottom of the battery, the pressure from the battery causes the first wedge to contact the second wedge. This pressure between the first and second wedges causes the second wedge to move upward, driving the slider and battery upward. This ensures that the shovel plate can move the slider and battery upward during the process of moving the shovel plate to the bottom of the battery, preventing damage to the battery during transport.

[0023] 2. In this utility model, by providing a suction cup inside, the connection between the clamping plate and the battery can be increased during the battery clamping process. This ensures that the battery can be smoothly moved upward when the slider moves upward, thus ensuring that the shovel can be smoothly moved under the battery. Furthermore, during the transportation process, the suction cup can further ensure the stability of the battery during transportation, thereby further reducing the possibility of the battery falling off during transportation.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a robotic arm for a battery disassembly assembly line, including a base 1, a robotic arm 2 on the top surface of the base 1, a drive module 3 at one end of the robotic arm 2, a clamping component 4 at the bottom end of the drive module 3, and an auxiliary component 5 on one side of the clamping component 4.

[0032] The clamping assembly 4 includes a mounting frame 41. Electric push rods 42 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the mounting frame 41. A shovel plate 43 is fixedly mounted on the telescopic end of the electric push rods 42. A limit plate 44 is fixedly mounted on one side of the shovel plate 43. A first wedge block 45 is fixedly mounted on one side of the limit plate 44. A first spring 46 is fixedly mounted on one side of the shovel plate 43. A mounting base 47 is fixedly mounted on the other end of the first spring 46. A slider 48 is slidably mounted on the mounting base 47 through a groove therein. Second wedge blocks 49 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the slider 48. A connecting rod 410 is fixedly mounted on one side of the slider 48.

[0033] The top of the mounting bracket 41 is fixedly connected to one end of the drive module 3. The mounting base 47 is slidably connected to the limiting plate 44 through the slots opened on both sides. The first wedge 45 and the second wedge 49 are arranged opposite to each other and their inclined surfaces correspond to each other. The limiting plate 44 has a slot on one side that corresponds to the second wedge 49. The shovel plate 43 is slidably connected to the mounting bracket 41 through the slot opened in the mounting bracket 41. One end of the shovel plate 43 is provided with a slope.

[0034] The specific implementation method is as follows: During transportation, the mounting bracket 41 is moved above the battery, and the clamping plate 52 and the pressing plate 54 are located on both sides of the battery. The electric push rod 42 is activated to drive the shovel plate 43 to move, and the auxiliary component 5 comes into contact with the battery. Then, the shovel plate 43 moves further, which causes the mounting base 47 to slide and the first spring 46 to be compressed. At the same time, as the mounting base 47 moves, the slider 48 moves. Meanwhile, the second wedge 49 comes into contact with the first wedge 45, so that the second wedge 49 is blocked by the first wedge 45 and moves upward along the inclined surface of the first wedge 45, and drives the slider 48 to move upward. Thus, the auxiliary component 5 and the battery move upward through the connecting rod 410, so that the shovel plate 43 can move smoothly to the bottom of the battery.

[0035] The auxiliary component 5 includes a mounting plate 57. A support frame 59 is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting plate 57. A gear 51 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 59 through a hole therein. Gear plates 58 are meshed on both sides of the gear 51. A clamping plate 52 is fixedly mounted on one end of the gear plate 58. A slide rod 55 is slidably mounted on the mounting plate 57 through a groove therein. A pressing plate 54 is fixedly mounted on one end of the slide rod 55. A rack 56 is fixedly mounted on one side of the pressing plate 54. The rack 56 meshes with the gear 51. Both the pressing plate 54 and the rack 56 are connected by a support frame 59. The support frame 59 has a through hole that is slidably connected to it. The rack 56 and the slide rod 55 are both slidably mounted with a fixing rod 511 through the grooves opened in them. A second spring 510 is fixedly installed at one end of the fixing rod 511. The extrusion plate 54 and the clamping plate 52 are both fixedly mounted with suction cups 53. The toothed plate 58 is slidably connected to the support frame 59 through the grooves opened in it. The toothed plate 58 has grooves corresponding to the rack 56 and the slide rod 55. One side of the support frame 59 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 410. One end of the fixing rod 511 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 48.

[0036] The specific implementation method is as follows: During the process of the electric push rod 42 pushing the shovel plate 43, the suction cup 53 on one side of the squeezing plate 54 can first contact the battery. As the shovel plate 43 continues to move, the second spring 510 can be compressed. The continued movement of the shovel plate 43 can drive the support frame 59 to move, thereby driving the gear 51 to rotate through the rack 56. The rotation of the gear 51 drives the toothed plate 58 to move, thereby moving the clamping plate 52 and causing the suction cup 53 on one side of it to contact the battery, thereby completing the clamping of the battery.

[0037] Working principle: During handling, the robotic arm 2 moves the mounting bracket 41 above the battery, positioning it between the clamping plate 52 and the pressing plate 54. This activates the electric push rod 42, moving the shovel plate 43. The movement of the shovel plate 43 brings the suction cup 53 on one side of the pressing plate 54 into contact with the battery. As the shovel plate 43 continues to move, the second spring 510 is compressed, causing relative movement between the rack 56 and the gear 51. This rotation of the gear 51 causes the gear plate 58 to move, which in turn moves the clamping plate 52, bringing the suction cup 53 on one side of the clamping plate 52 into contact with the battery. The battery is clamped, and as the shovel plate 43 moves, the first spring 46 is compressed, causing the mounting base 47 to slide. The movement of the mounting base 47 drives the slider 48 to move, bringing the second wedge 49 into contact with the first wedge 45. As the second wedge 49 gradually comes into contact with the first wedge 45, it is blocked by the first wedge 45 and moves upward along the inclined surface of the first wedge 45, causing the slider 48 to move upward. This, in turn, drives the auxiliary component 5 upward via the connecting rod 410, and thus moves the battery upward, allowing the shovel plate 43 to move smoothly below the battery.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
