Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary tooling technology, specifically to an upper and lower hanging tooling mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] The battery pack is mainly used to house and protect the battery of electric vehicles. It provides physical protection for the battery and prevents it from being damaged by external impacts, squeezing and other mechanical damage. When the battery pack is being processed on the powder coating production line, at least two people are needed to assist in transferring the battery pack, and one person is needed to hang the battery pack in the processing area of the powder coating production line.
[0003] When hanging the existing battery pack casings, two people are needed to use tools to lift the battery pack casings. Then, one person needs to use tools to hang them on the hanging area of the powder coating production line. When there are many to be processed, the manual handling is labor-intensive and it is difficult to maintain a stable lifting position, which affects the hanging efficiency. At the same time, when picking up and putting down the battery packs, the battery casings need to be flipped over, which makes them easy to slip out of the hands and fall off, posing a certain safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A hanging fixture mechanism includes a fixed plate, with mounting horizontal plates installed on the rear end of the fixed plate near the upper and lower ends by fixing bolts. Mounting vertical plates are installed on both sides of the mounting horizontal plates away from the fixed plate by connecting parts. Suction cups are provided on the rear end of the mounting vertical plates near the upper and lower ends.
[0007] The rear ends of the horizontal mounting plate are respectively mounted on the two sides of the two vertical mounting plates, and are located inside the two vertical mounting plates.

[0009] Preferably, the outer rings of the first mounting plate, the second mounting plate, and the third mounting plate are provided with several adjustment grooves, and the first suction cup, the second suction cup, and the magnetic suction cylinder are respectively mounted on the first mounting plate, the second mounting plate, and the third mounting plate through L-shaped movable plates, boat-shaped nuts, and fixing bolts.
[0010] Preferably, positioning plates are fixedly installed at the rear end of the second mounting plate near both the upper and lower ends using boat-shaped nuts and fixing bolts, and a soft plastic block is installed at the end of the positioning plate away from the second mounting plate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] This utility model, through the coordinated installation of a vertical mounting plate three, a magnetic suction cylinder, a horizontal mounting plate, a vertical mounting plate one, and a suction cup one, allows for the transfer of battery cases by connecting the mounting plate to an external robotic arm at the work station and using suction cup two, the magnetic suction cylinder, and suction cup one to hold the case in place. This eliminates the need for manual hanging or lowering, reducing labor intensity. Furthermore, the positioning plate ensures that the suction cup is aligned with the appropriate position on the battery case.
[0016] By setting up a rotating cylinder, a rotating base, a fixing plate, and a mounting plate to work together, during processing, after the battery case is adsorbed, the push rod of the rotating cylinder can be controlled to retract, thereby driving the fixing plate to rotate and adjust the orientation of the battery case so that the processed battery case can be removed and stacked. This eliminates the need for manual rotation and reduces the probability of the battery case falling out of the hand. Attached Figure Description

[0023] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example 1
[0024] Combination Figures 1-4 A hanging fixture mechanism includes a fixed plate 1. A horizontal mounting plate 2 is installed on the rear end of the fixed plate 1 near the upper and lower ends by fixing bolts. A vertical mounting plate 3 is installed on both sides of the horizontal mounting plate 2 away from the fixed plate 1 by connecting parts. A suction cup 4 is provided on the rear end of the vertical mounting plate 3 near the upper and lower ends.
[0025] See Figure 2 and Figure 3Furthermore, it is found that the rear end of the mounting horizontal plate 2 is located on both sides and inside the two mounting vertical plates 3, and is equipped with mounting vertical plates 5 via connectors 2. The rear end of the mounting vertical plates 5 is provided with suction cups 6 near the upper and lower ends. The front end of the two mounting horizontal plates 2 is provided with electrical control boxes 11 on one side. The front end of the mounting horizontal plate 2 is provided with a gas distributor 10 that is compatible with suction cups 6 and 4 near the fixed plate 1. The rear end of the mounting horizontal plate 2 is located away from the electrical control box 11, and is equipped with mounting vertical plates 8 via connectors 3. The rear end of the mounting vertical plates 8 is provided with several magnetic suction cylinders 9. The front end of the fixed plate 1 is rotatably mounted with a vertical bracket 14 at the center.
[0026] A mounting plate 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical bracket 14. Several sliding grooves are provided on the outer ring of the mounting horizontal plate 2. Mounting vertical plate 1 3, mounting vertical plate 2 5, and mounting vertical plate 3 8 are all mounted on the mounting horizontal plate 2 using boat-shaped nuts and fixing bolts, with the boat-shaped nuts positioned within the sliding grooves. Side handles 13 are connected to the front ends of mounting vertical plate 3 8 and mounting vertical plate 3 8 near the electrical control box 11. Several adjustment grooves are provided on the outer ring of mounting vertical plate 1 3, mounting vertical plate 2 5, and mounting vertical plate 3 8. Suction cups 1 4, 2 6, and magnetic suction... Cylinder 9 is installed on mounting vertical plate 1 3, mounting vertical plate 2 5, and mounting vertical plate 3 8 respectively by L-shaped movable plates, boat-shaped nuts, and fixing bolts. Positioning plates 7 are fixedly installed at the rear end of mounting vertical plate 2 5 near the upper and lower ends by boat-shaped nuts and fixing bolts. A soft plastic block is installed on the end of positioning plate 7 away from mounting vertical plate 2 5. An electric control box 2 12 that is compatible with magnetic cylinder 9 is installed on the front end of mounting horizontal plate 2 away from electric control box 1 11. Several solenoid valves are installed inside electric control box 1 11 and electric control box 2 12.
[0027] Specifically, an external robotic arm is connected to the mounting plate 20 to control the lifting and lowering of the mounting horizontal plate 2. The external robotic arm has two arms: an upper arm controls the vertical height, and a lower arm is movably positioned below the upper arm and can rotate circumferentially along it. The mounting horizontal plate 2 is mounted on the other end of the lower arm via multiple components, allowing it to rotate with the lower arm. A rectangular handrail 16 provides a grip, and a button box 17 allows for control while gripping. When it is necessary to hang the battery case, suction cup 4, magnetic cylinder 9, and other components can be used. Once the second plate 6 is adjusted to a horizontal position, personnel can move the vertically suspended battery pack shell over using a transfer vehicle. Alignment is achieved by adjusting the lifting and circumferential rotation. After the positioning plate 7 is aligned with the appropriate position of the battery pack shell, the magnetic cylinder 9 can be controlled to magnetically fix the battery pack shell. At the same time, suction cups 4 and 6 can be controlled to adsorb the battery pack shell. Then, an external robotic arm can be used to move the mounting plate 2 to the hanging area. After the mounting plate 2 is raised to a suitable height, the battery pack shell can be hung on the hanging area of the powder coating production line to complete the transfer process. Example 2
[0028] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, a tilting cylinder 18 is rotatably mounted at the upper front end of the vertical support 14. The push rod end of the tilting cylinder 18 is movably connected to a rotating seat 19, and the rotating seat 19 is mounted on the front end of the fixed plate 1 by fixing bolts. A connecting plate 15 is mounted at the front end of the vertical support 14, and a rectangular handrail 16 is fixedly mounted at the front end of the connecting plate 15. A button box 17 is provided at the front end of the inner side of the rectangular handrail 16. The button box 17 is electrically connected to the tilting cylinder 18, the first electrical control box 11, and the second electrical control box 12. Furthermore, the corresponding control box of the robot, namely the start / stop, rise, and fall buttons, can also be arranged at the rectangular handrail.
[0029] Specifically, when it is necessary to flip the mounting plate 2, after fixing the battery pack shell according to the above steps, the flipping cylinder 18 is rotatably mounted on the vertical bracket 14, and the end of the vertical bracket 14 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 1. At the same time, the push rod end of the flipping cylinder 18 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 1 through the rotating seat 19. Thus, the extension and retraction of the flipping cylinder 18 can be controlled to adjust the mounting plate 2 to flip, thereby flipping the fixed battery pack shell for hanging assistance. At the same time, when the battery pack shell needs to be stacked after processing, this step can also be used to control the flipping of the battery pack shell. After flipping, the battery pack shell can be adjusted to a suitable height before releasing its fixation. This eliminates the need for personnel to lift and flip it for a long time, reducing the probability of it falling out of their hands.
[0030] In actual operation, the steps of connecting the mounting plate 20 to the external robotic arm and the steps of setting several control solenoid valves in the air circuit in the existing technology will not be described in detail here. In use, the external robotic arm can control the lifting and lowering of the mounting plate 2. That is, the external robotic arm has two arms, of which the upper arm is used to control the vertical height, and one end of the lower arm is movably arranged under the upper arm and can rotate around the upper arm. In this embodiment, the lifting and lowering is an automated operation, and the circumferential rotation can be operated passively by a person or automatically. The mounting plate 2 is installed at the other end of the lower arm through multiple components and can rotate with the lower arm so that the position of the tooling mechanism can be adjusted by the personnel.
[0031] The rectangular handrail 16 is designed for personnel to grip. Since the lower support arm can rotate with the tooling mechanism, the rectangular handrail can be used to control the position and direction of movement of the tooling mechanism. The button box 17 is designed for personnel to control the tooling mechanism while gripping it. When it is necessary to hang the battery pack, the suction cup 1 4, magnetic cylinder 9, and suction cup 2 6 can be adjusted to a horizontal position. Subsequently, personnel can use a transfer vehicle to move the vertically suspended battery pack. The lifting and lowering can be adjusted through the robotic arm control box, and the tooling mechanism can be rotated circumferentially. The position of the transfer vehicle can also be adjusted to align the positioning plate with the appropriate position of the battery pack.
[0032] Once the positioning plate 7 is aligned with the appropriate position of the battery pack, the magnetic cylinder 9 can be controlled to magnetically fix the battery pack. At the same time, the suction cups 4 and 6 can be controlled to adsorb the battery pack. Afterward, the mounting plate 2 can be moved by an external robotic arm to the hanging area. After the mounting plate 2 is raised to the appropriate height, the battery pack can be hung on the hanging area of the powder coating production line to complete the transfer process.
[0033] When it is necessary to flip the mounting plate 2, after fixing the battery pack shell according to the above steps, the flipping cylinder 18 is rotatably mounted on the vertical bracket 14, and the end of the vertical bracket 14 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 1. At the same time, the push rod end of the flipping cylinder 18 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 1 through the rotating seat 19. Thus, the extension and retraction of the flipping cylinder 18 can be controlled to adjust the mounting plate 2 to flip, thereby flipping the fixed battery pack shell for hanging assistance. At the same time, when the battery pack shell needs to be stacked after processing, this step can also be used to control the flipping of the battery pack shell. After flipping, the battery pack shell can be adjusted to a suitable height before releasing its fixation. This eliminates the need for personnel to lift and flip for a long time, reducing the probability of it falling out of hand.
[0034] Furthermore, the display and control components and modules used in the aforementioned magnetic cylinder 9, button box 17, electrical control box 2 12, electrical control box 11, and solenoid valve are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art. The provision of power sources such as power supplies is also common knowledge in this field and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the software and methods.
[0035] 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 the 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.
