[0024] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "upper surface," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-8This utility model provides an embodiment of a battery module gripping truss, including a frame 1 and a gripping assembly 2 that moves on the frame 1; the gripping assembly 2 includes a crossbeam 20, a lateral movement assembly 21 mounted on the crossbeam 20, and a clamping assembly 22 movably mounted on the lateral movement assembly 21; the clamping assembly 22 includes a first clamping assembly 210 and a second clamping assembly 211 mounted on the first clamping assembly 210; the second clamping assembly 211 includes a support plate 222, and a vacuum suction cup 225 is provided on the side of the support plate 222 away from the first clamping assembly 210, and the battery module is gripped from above by the vacuum suction cup 225; the first clamping assembly 210 includes a support frame 215, and a support plate 218 is provided on both the front and rear sides of the support frame 215, and the support plate 218 is driven by a first driving member 217 mounted on the support frame 215 to lift the battery module from the bottom of the battery module.

[0026] In summary, because the vacuum suction cup 225 can adsorb the battery module from the top surface, and then the support plate 218 can lift the battery module from the bottom, the clamping components will not damage the sides of the battery module during movement, ensuring reliable and safe movement of the battery module. Furthermore, since the lateral movement component 21 is movably connected to the clamping component 22, the installation and replacement of the clamping component 22 are simple and convenient, allowing users to select the appropriate clamping component 22 according to their needs, so that the device can clamp battery modules of different types and sizes.

[0027] Furthermore, since the support frame 215 is provided with second driving members 216 on both the left and right sides, and the clamping plate 221 is clamped on the side of the battery module by the second driving members 216, the clamping plate 221 can be used to fix and limit the battery module from the side to prevent the battery module from shifting during movement. This ensures the safe and stable movement of the battery module while facilitating the accurate and reliable movement of the battery module to the predetermined position.

[0028] To expand the functionality of the device and reduce usage limitations, a third driving member 219 is provided on the support frame 215. The working part of the third driving member 219 passes through the support frame 215 and connects to the support plate 222 to cause the support plate 222 to move up and down. A fourth driving member 224 is also provided on the support plate 222, and the vacuum suction cup 225 is caused to move up and down through the fourth driving member 224. Based on this, the vacuum suction cup 225 has a larger stroke when moving up or down, so that the vacuum suction cup 225 can be attached to battery modules of different thicknesses.

[0029] Furthermore, the support plate 222 is also provided with a guide rod 223. One end of the guide rod 223 passes through the guide seat 220 provided on the support frame 215 and guides the support plate 222 to slide up and down. Therefore, by using the cooperation of the guide rod 223 and the guide seat 220, the support plate 222 can be stably and directionally slid, thereby ensuring that the vacuum suction cup 225 can be stably and reliably attached to the battery module.

[0030] In addition, the guide rod 223 passes through the guide seat 220 and is movably connected to the limiting plate 226. Therefore, the limiting plate 226 can be used to abut against the support frame 215 to prevent the second clamping assembly 211 and the first clamping assembly 210 from falling off each other.

[0031] In summary, by expanding the vertical travel of the vacuum suction cup 225, the device can adapt to battery modules of different thicknesses, thereby expanding its clamping capacity and meeting the clamping and handling needs of battery modules of different thicknesses.

[0032] Based on the above solution, since the lateral moving component 21 includes a base plate 23, and a connecting post 25 is provided in the middle of the base plate 23; the base plate 23 is also provided with a fifth driving member 27, which causes the connecting post 25 to move upward or downward. Therefore, the fifth driving member 27 can be used to cause the connecting post 25 to move upward or downward, so as to facilitate the lifting and lowering of the battery module by the clamping component 22.

[0033] Furthermore, since the bottom of the connecting column 25 is movably connected to the connecting plate 212, and the connecting plate 212 is also provided with a sixth driving member 213, and the clamping assembly 22 is swayed by the sixth driving member 213, the clamping assembly 22 can be rotated to the left or right on the same horizontal plane by the sixth driving member 213, so that the position of the clamping assembly 22 on the same horizontal plane can be adjusted.

[0034] Specifically, the support frame 215 is also provided with a mounting frame 26, and the mounting frame 26 is also provided with a gear ring 214. The sixth driving member 213 meshes with the gear ring 214 through a gear to cause the clamping assembly 22 to swing.

[0035] Furthermore, since the base plate 23 is also provided with a balance cylinder 24, and the working part of the balance cylinder 24 passes through the base plate 23 and is connected to the support seat 29 provided on the connecting column 25, the balance cylinder 24 can be used to balance the load of the clamping assembly 22, prevent sudden slippage and counteract gravity, and realize the smooth lifting and lowering of the clamping assembly 22.

[0036] In addition, since the base plate 23 is also provided with a seventh driving member 28, and the base plate 23 is moved along the crossbeam 20 by the seventh driving member 28, the transverse component 21 can slide smoothly along the crossbeam 20, which makes it easier for the clamping component 22 to smoothly grab the battery module.

[0037] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
