[0036] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, further illustrating the present invention.

[0037] First, combine Figures 1-5 The present invention describes a gripping device for adhesive-backed silicone foam according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is used for gripping foam and has a wide range of applications.

[0038] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the gripping device for adhesive-backed silicone foam according to an embodiment of this utility model includes:

[0039] First drive mechanism 1 (existing technology);

[0040] The first fixed frame 2 is connected to the output end of the first drive mechanism 1, which can drive the first fixed frame 2 to reciprocate.

[0041] The displacement mechanism 3 is connected to the first fixed frame 2;

[0042] Adsorption mechanism 4 is connected to displacement mechanism 3. Displacement mechanism 3 can drive adsorption mechanism 4 to rotate. Adsorption mechanism 4 is used to adsorb foam 5.

[0043] Preferably, the first drive mechanism 1 is one of a cylinder, an electric cylinder, or a linear motor.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, the adsorption mechanism 4 includes: a first fixing plate 41, a second driving mechanism 42, a second fixing plate 43, a plurality of buffer components 44, a pair of third fixing plates 45, a pair of vacuum suction cups 46, and a vacuum generator 47.

[0045] The first fixed plate 41 is connected to the output end of the displacement mechanism 3, and serves to connect and fix other components of the adsorption mechanism 4.

[0046] The top of the second fixing plate 43 is connected to the first fixing plate 41;

[0047] The second drive mechanism 42 is connected to the second fixed plate 43, and its output end is connected to the vacuum suction cup 46, which can drive the vacuum suction cup 46 to move linearly.

[0048] Several buffer components 44 are respectively disposed between the first fixed plate 41 and the second fixed plate 43. The buffer components 44 can effectively buffer the impact force generated by the contact between the third fixed plate 45 and the foam 5, the contact between the foam 5 and the battery cell module, and the movement process, so as to prevent the foam 5 from being deformed or damaged and the battery cell module from being damaged.

[0049] The third fixing plate 45 is detachably connected to the second fixing plate 43, and a hollow cavity 451 is provided between the two.

[0050] The third fixing plate 45 is provided with a plurality of first through holes 452, and the first through holes 452 penetrate the third fixing plate 45.

[0051] The third fixing plate 45 corresponds one-to-one with the vacuum suction cup 46;

[0052] A vacuum suction cup 46 is disposed inside a hollow cavity 451. A plurality of vacuum suction nozzles 461 are provided on the vacuum suction cup 46, and the plurality of vacuum suction nozzles 461 are respectively disposed in a plurality of first through holes 452.

[0053] The vacuum generator 47 is mounted on the first fixed frame 2 and connected to the vacuum suction cup 46 via a vacuum tube. It is used to provide suction to the vacuum suction cup 46. By controlling the working state of the vacuum generator 47, the adsorption and release of the foam 5 can be achieved. The setup of a pair of vacuum suction cups 46 and a pair of third fixed plates 45 helps to reduce the impact of the foam 5 not being placed horizontally.

[0054] Preferably, the vacuum suction nozzle 461 can be made of rubber, which has elasticity and non-stick properties.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a layer of anti-stick tape is provided at the bottom of the third fixing plate 45. The anti-stick tape prevents the foam 5 from sticking to the third fixing plate 45 when the vacuum suction cup 46 adsorbs the foam 5, thus affecting the release of the foam 5. The anti-stick tape is provided at the bottom of the third fixing plate 45 and avoids the position of the first through hole 452 to prevent interference with the movement of the vacuum suction nozzle 461.

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the anti-stick tape is made of Teflon or silicone material, which has good anti-stick properties.

[0057] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the buffer assembly 44 includes: a bolt 441 and a spring 442;

[0058] Bolt 441 is slidably connected to the first fixing plate 41, and can slide up and down relative to the first fixing plate 41, and is fixedly connected to the second fixing plate 43;

[0059] Spring 442 is fitted onto bolt 441.

[0060] After the third fixing plate 45 contacts the foam 5, the reaction force drives the second fixing plate 43 to move upward, and the second fixing plate 43 drives the bolt 441 to move in the opposite direction to the first fixing plate 41.

[0061] Furthermore, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the second driving mechanism 42 includes: a pair of driving cylinders 421; the driving cylinders 421 are fixedly connected to the second fixed plate 43, and their output ends are connected to the vacuum suction cup 46, which can drive the vacuum suction cup 46 to move.

[0062] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the second fixing plate 43 is provided with a second through hole 431 corresponding to the driving cylinder 421, and the output end of the driving cylinder 421 can pass through the second through hole 431 and be connected to the vacuum suction cup 46.

[0063] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, a pair of hollowed-out grooves 411 are provided on the first fixing plate 41. The pair of hollowed-out grooves 411 are respectively provided above a pair of driving cylinders 421 to prevent the driving cylinders 421 from interfering with the first fixing plate 41 during the rising process.

[0064] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, the displacement mechanism 3 includes: a displacement cylinder 31 and a rotating shaft 32;

[0065] The displacement cylinder 31 is located at one end of the first fixed frame 2;

[0066] One end of the rotating shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the first fixed frame 2, and the other end is connected to the displacement cylinder 31, which can drive the rotating shaft 32 to rotate; the adsorption mechanism 4 is connected to the rotating shaft 32 and can rotate with the rotating shaft 32.

[0067] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, in this embodiment, the displacement cylinder 31 is a 90-degree displacement cylinder.

[0068] Working principle:

[0069] The first drive mechanism 1 is connected to an external drive device, which can drive the first drive mechanism 1 to move along the X, Y, or Z direction. Initially, the vacuum suction cup 46 and the third fixing plate 45 are parallel to the surface of the foam 5. When it is necessary to grasp the silicone foam 5 with adhesive backing and attach it to the battery module, the external drive device drives the first drive mechanism 1 to move, causing the adsorption mechanism 4 to follow the first drive mechanism 1 to a suitable position above the foam 5. The first drive mechanism 1 is activated, driving the first fixing frame 2 to move downwards, causing the third fixing plate 45 to contact and press the foam 5. The drive cylinder 421 of the second drive mechanism 42 operates, pushing the vacuum suction cup 46 downwards until the vacuum adsorption nozzle 461 on the vacuum suction cup 46 contacts the surface of the foam 5. The vacuum generator 47 is activated, providing suction to the vacuum suction cup 46 through the vacuum tube. The vacuum suction nozzle 461 adsorbs the foam 5; the first drive mechanism 1 works again, driving the first fixing frame 2 to move and transfer the foam 5 to the designated attachment position above the battery cell module; the displacement cylinder 31 works, causing the suction mechanism 4 to rotate 90 degrees; then the external drive device drives the suction mechanism 4 to approach the battery cell, so that the foam 5 is attached to the surface of the battery cell module; the drive cylinder 421 of the second drive mechanism 42 slowly pushes the vacuum suction cup 46, so that the foam 5 is in full contact with the battery cell module; the vacuum generator 47 stops working, the vacuum suction cup 46 loses its suction force, and the foam 5 is attached to the battery cell module; the first drive mechanism 1 drives the first fixing frame 2 to return to the initial position, completing one gripping and attachment operation.

[0070] Throughout the operation, the buffer component 44 can effectively buffer the impact force generated by the vacuum suction cup 46 contacting the foam 5, the foam 5 contacting the battery cell module, and the movement process, preventing the foam 5 from deforming or being damaged and causing damage to the battery cell module; the anti-adhesive tape can prevent the adhesive on the back of the foam 5 from sticking to the third fixing plate 45, ensuring that the foam 5 is smoothly gripped and pasted on the battery cell module.

[0071] Above, refer to Figures 1-5This invention describes a gripping device for adhesive-backed silicone foam according to an embodiment of the present invention. The adsorption mechanism 4 employs a combination of a vacuum suction cup 46 and a vacuum generator 47 to provide stable adsorption force, ensuring that the foam 5 does not detach during gripping and transfer. Simultaneously, the buffer assembly 44 effectively prevents damage to the foam 5 and the battery module, ensuring the quality of the foam 5 and the safety of the battery module. The anti-stick tape at the bottom of the third fixing plate 45 prevents the adhesive backing of the foam 5 from adhering to the third fixing plate 45, facilitating the gripping and release of the foam 5 and improving production efficiency.
