[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the processing apparatus for an energy storage battery according to this application includes a clamping mechanism 1, comprising: a pair of clamping plates 11, an elastic element 12, and a support base 13; the support base 13 includes a base plate 131 and side plates 132 disposed on both sides of the base plate 131 and parallel to each other, the pair of clamping plates 11 being disposed between the side plates 132, the elastic element 12 being disposed between at least one clamping plate 11 and an adjacent side plate 132, at least one clamping plate 11 being elastically displaced by the elastic element 12, the elastic displacement including the relative proximity or relative distance of the pair of clamping plates 11; a rotating mechanism 2, connected to the base plate 131, to drive the clamping mechanism 1 to rotate. The elastic element 12 can be disposed between one of the clamping plates 11 and an adjacent side plate 132, or can be disposed between two clamping plates 11 and corresponding side plates 132 respectively.

[0035] The rotating mechanism 2 is used to rotate the clamping mechanism 1 by a preset angle. The preset angle refers to the angle that the energy storage battery needs to rotate through on the horizontal plane during processing, such as 90 degrees.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 6 As shown, a support rod 112 is provided on the side wall opposite to the clamping plate 11. The support rod 112 passes through the corresponding side plate 132, and the elastic element 12 is sleeved on the support rod 112 between the side plate 132 and the clamping plate 11. The support base 13 is in the shape of a "U". There are two side plates 132, as shown. Figure 6 As shown, the base plate 131 is provided with a guide groove 133, and the bottom of the clamping plate 11 is provided with a guide block 113. The guide block 113 is inserted into the guide groove 133 and can move along the guide groove 133.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, the clamping mechanism 1 further includes a placement platform 14, which is inserted and fixed to the side plate 132. The clamping plate 11 passes through the placement platform 14 and can be elastically moved on the placement platform 14. The placement platform 14 between a pair of clamping plates 11 is a placement area for the energy storage battery, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the placement platform 14 is provided with a clearance groove 141, and the clamping plate 11 passes through the clearance groove 141 and can move along the clearance groove 141.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the support rod 112 includes a first support rod 114 and a second support rod 115, which are located above and below the placement platform 14, respectively. The elastic element 12 includes a first elastic element 121 and a second elastic element 122, with the first elastic element 121 sleeved on the first support rod 114 and the second elastic element 122 sleeved on the second support rod 115. The elastic element 12 can be a spring. The first support rod 114 has a first handle 116 at the end opposite to the support base 13, and the second support rod 115 has a second handle 117 at the end opposite to the support base 13. The first handle 116 and / or the second handle 117 facilitate the opening of the pair of clamping plates 11 when placing the energy storage battery to be processed. There are two first support rods 114, which are respectively fixed to the upper part of the pair of clamping plates 11 opposite to the side wall. There are two second support rods 115, which are respectively fixed to the lower part of the pair of clamping plates 11 opposite to the side wall. The first support rod 114, the second support rod 115, the guide groove 133, and the clearance groove 141 are all arranged in parallel. By setting the first support rod 114 and the second support rod 115, as well as the first elastic element 121 and the second elastic element 122, the elastic force on the clamping plate 11 is stronger and the elastic force distribution is more uniform, thereby improving the clamping effect of the clamping plate 11 on the energy storage battery.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the clamping plate 11 is provided with an inclined portion 118, which is inclined from top to bottom in a direction opposite to the pair of clamping plates 11, and the inclined portion 118 is located above the placement table 14. By providing the inclined portion 118, the bottom of the clamping area between the pair of clamping plates 11 has a wider distance, which can accommodate energy storage batteries with wide bases or energy storage batteries with larger bottom widths, thereby making the clamping mechanism 1 more adaptable to the workpieces to be clamped.

[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the energy storage battery processing device further includes a worktable 3, a clamping mechanism 1 located above the worktable 3, and a cavity 31 provided inside the worktable 3; the rotating mechanism 2 includes a rotating shaft 21 and a rotating component 22 disposed in the cavity 31. The upper end of the rotating shaft 21 is fixedly connected to the base plate 131 of the support seat 13, and the lower end of the rotating shaft 21 extends into the cavity 31 and is connected to the rotating component 22. The rotating component 22 is used to drive the rotating shaft 21 to rotate by a preset angle. In this way, the rotating shaft 21 can drive the support seat 13, the placement table 14 and the clamping plate 11 to rotate through a preset angle on the horizontal plane to adapt to the processing position of the energy storage battery at different angles.

[0041] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the rotating component 22 includes a turntable 221, a rotary cylinder 222, and a rotary support 223. The rotation center of the turntable 221 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft 21. An extension 224 is provided on the side of the turntable 221, and a connecting shaft 225 is provided on the extension 224. The piston shaft of the rotary cylinder 222 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 225 via a joint 226. The rotary cylinder 222 is mounted on the rotary support 223 and can rotate on the rotary support 223 around an axis parallel to the rotating shaft 21. When the energy storage battery needs to rotate through a preset angle to change its processing position, the rotary cylinder 222 drives the extension 224 to rotate, causing the turntable 221 to rotate through the preset angle around the rotating shaft 21. Specifically, as shown... Figure 2 As shown, when the piston shaft of the rotary cylinder 222 extends to its limit position, the energy storage battery is clamped in the first processing position. When the piston shaft of the rotary cylinder 222 retracts to its limit position, the rotary cylinder 222 drives the turntable 221, the rotating shaft 21, and the clamping mechanism 1 to rotate by a preset angle, and the energy storage battery is clamped in the second processing position. When the rotary cylinder 222 drives the turntable 221 to rotate, the rotary cylinder 222 rotates on the rotating support 223 around an axis parallel to the rotating shaft 21.

[0042] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the rotating support 223 includes an upper rotating support 227, a lower rotating support 228, and a support shaft 229. The two ends of the support shaft 229 are rotatably connected to the upper rotating support 227 and the lower rotating support 228, respectively. A rotating cylinder 222 is fixed to the support shaft 229 between the upper rotating support 227 and the lower rotating support 228. The rotating support 223 is fixed to the side wall of the cavity 31. The support shaft 229, the connecting shaft 225, and the rotating shaft 21 are all arranged in parallel.

[0043] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the rotating mechanism 2 further includes a positioning element 23, which includes an electric push rod 231, a positioning block 232, and multiple positioning slots 233 disposed on the edge of the turntable 221. The electric push rod 231 and the positioning block 232 are disposed on one side of the turntable 221, and the positioning block 232 is connected to the electric push rod 231 and corresponds to the positioning slot 233. The electric push rod 231 is fixed to the side wall of the cavity 31. When the energy storage battery is clamped in the first processing position or the second processing position, the positioning block 232 is inserted into the positioning slot 233 to fix the position of the turntable 221 and the rotating shaft 21, thereby realizing the positioning of the clamping mechanism 1 and thus realizing the positioning of the energy storage battery at different angles to improve processing efficiency. When the energy storage battery needs to be rotated by a preset angle to change its processing position, the electric push rod 231 first drives the positioning block 232 away from the positioning groove 233, releasing the positioning of the turntable 221, and then allows the turntable 221, the rotating shaft 21, and the clamping mechanism 1 to rotate under the drive of the rotary cylinder. During the processing of the energy storage battery, when it is necessary to change the angle of the clamping mechanism 1, the following steps are taken: First, the electric push rod 231 drives the positioning block 232 away from the positioning groove 233, releasing the positioning of the turntable 221. Then, the rotary cylinder 222 drives the turntable 221, the rotating shaft 21, and the clamping mechanism 1 to rotate by a preset angle. Finally, the electric push rod 231 is pushed, causing the positioning block 232 to engage in another positioning groove 233, thus fixing the angle of the clamping mechanism 1 after rotation. The electric push rod 231 can be driven by a motor or manually; this application does not limit this method.

[0044] The shape of the turntable 221 includes, but is not limited to, a fan shape. Multiple positioning slots 233 can be provided corresponding to the angle during battery processing. (Illustratively, as shown...) Figure 3 As shown, the turntable 221 is provided with two positioning grooves 233, and the angle between the two positioning grooves 233 and the line connecting the rotation center of the turntable 221 is 90 degrees, that is, the preset angle is 90 degrees. In some other embodiments (not shown in the figure), the turntable 221 is provided with a positioning groove 233 every 30 degrees, so as to realize the positioning of the clamping mechanism 1 every 30 degrees of rotation.

[0045] In the processing of energy storage batteries, such as packaging or welding, this application first moves a pair of clamping plates 11 to a suitable position according to the size of the energy storage battery to be processed. Then, the energy storage battery to be processed is placed between the pair of clamping plates 11. The clamping plates 11 are released, and the clamping plates 11 can hold the energy storage battery to be processed by the elasticity of the elastic member 12. In this way, it can adapt to clamping energy storage batteries of different sizes for processing. The clamping mechanism 1 is rotated by a preset angle by the rotating mechanism 2, which makes it easy to rotate the energy storage battery through the preset angle to process different positions. This flexibly adapts to the processing position requirements of energy storage batteries at different angles.
