Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of battery packaging and assembly robots, and specifically relates to an automotive battery packaging and assembly robot and an insulation and safety protection device. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive battery pack assembly robots are industrial robots used for the automated assembly of power battery modules and battery packs. They typically integrate functions such as gripper force control and precision motion control. Their core tasks include cell gripping, module stacking, and end plate and side plate installation and welding, while reducing battery damage caused by manual operation. However, battery pack assembly devices without a variable-pitch dual-gripper mechanism cannot change the distance between the left and right grippers, resulting in a series of significant drawbacks. These drawbacks mainly stem from the inherent limitations of their mechanical structure and their single function. First, the device lacks flexibility and cannot adapt to the assembly requirements of battery packs of different sizes. Because the gripper spacing is fixed, when the battery pack specifications change, the entire device must be mechanically adjusted or the gripper components must be replaced, leading to a significant reduction in production efficiency. Therefore, we aim to design an automotive battery pack assembly robot and an insulation and safety protection device to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automotive battery pack assembly robot and an insulation safety protection device to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0005] The variable-pitch dual-gripper mechanism includes a drive motor and two support rods, and a drive bevel gear is provided on the output shaft of the drive motor;

[0006] Both support rods have a driven bevel gear at the end near the driving bevel gear, which meshes with the driving bevel gear. Both support rods have threads at the end away from the driving bevel gear, and a connecting cylinder is screwed onto the threaded end of each support rod. A clamping seat is provided at the end of the connecting cylinder away from the driving bevel gear. By setting up a variable-pitch double-jaw mechanism, the distance between the left and right jaws can be flexibly adjusted to accommodate batteries of different sizes and models, ensuring stable gripping.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a spline telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the outer side of the clamp body, and a support block is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting cylinder. The support block is fixedly connected to the other end of the spline telescopic rod, and the spline telescopic rod is used to restrict the connecting cylinder to prevent it from rotating.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the insulation mechanism includes an insulating substrate and a round-headed screw.

[0025] 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.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-3 As the first embodiment of this utility model:

[0027] A robot for packaging automotive batteries and an insulating safety protection device include: a clamp body 1, a variable-pitch double gripper mechanism 2 for improving clamp compatibility, and an insulating mechanism 3 on the variable-pitch double gripper mechanism 2.

[0028] The variable pitch double gripper mechanism 2 includes a drive motor 21 and two support rods 23. A drive bevel gear 22 is provided on the output shaft of the drive motor 21.

[0029] Both support rods 23 have driven bevel gears 24 at their ends near the drive bevel gear 22. The driven bevel gears 24 mesh with the drive bevel gear 22. Both support rods 23 have threads at their ends away from the drive bevel gear 22. Connecting cylinders 25 are screwed onto the threaded ends of the two support rods 23. A clamping seat 26 is provided at the end of the connecting cylinder 25 away from the drive bevel gear 22. By setting up a variable-pitch double-jaw mechanism 2, the distance between the left and right jaws 264 can be flexibly adjusted to accommodate batteries of different sizes and models, ensuring stable gripping. This improves the compatibility of the battery assembly fixture, reduces downtime for changing fixtures, and increases production efficiency.

[0030] The clamping seat 26 has a fitting groove 261 on its lower side. The clamping seat 26 is equipped with a dual-axis motor 262. Threaded rods 263 are fixedly connected to the output shafts on both sides of the dual-axis motor 262 through couplings.

[0031] The outer side of the threaded rod 263 is screwed with a jaw 264, and the upper end of the jaw 264 slides into the inside of the fitting groove 261.

[0032] The two threaded rods 263 on the output shafts of the dual-axis motor 262 have opposite thread paths, which are used for the grippers 264 to move in opposite directions or in opposite directions.

[0033] A spline telescopic rod 27 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixture body 1, and a support block 28 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting cylinder 25. The support block 28 is fixedly connected to the other end of the spline telescopic rod 27. The spline telescopic rod 27 is used to limit the connecting cylinder 25 to prevent it from rotating.

[0034] Specifically, when it is necessary to adjust the clamping seats 26 at both ends according to the size and model of the battery pack, the drive motor 21 is started first. The output shaft of the drive motor 21 drives the drive bevel gear 22, which is fixedly connected to it, to rotate. During the rotation of the drive bevel gear 22, the two driven bevel gears 24 meshing with it rotate. Then the driven bevel gears 24 drive the support rod 23 to rotate. At the same time as the support rod 23 rotates, the thread at its right end and the connecting cylinder 25 undergo threaded movement, which causes the connecting cylinder 25 to drive the spline telescopic rod 27 to move. Then the connecting cylinder 25 drives the clamping seat 26 to move, so as to complete the adjustment of the distance between the two clamping seats 26, thereby adapting to battery packs of different sizes and models. Finally, the dual-axis motor 262 is started. The output shafts at both ends of the dual-axis motor 262 drive the two threaded rods 263 to rotate. The two threaded rods 263 simultaneously undergo threaded movement with the gripper 264, which causes the gripper 264 to move in opposite directions to clamp the battery.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As a second embodiment of this utility model:

[0036] The insulation mechanism 3 includes an insulating substrate 31 and a round-headed screw 32. The insulating substrate 31 has a countersunk hole. A clamping pad 34 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the insulating substrate 31 by an adhesive. By setting the insulation mechanism 3, the battery can be effectively prevented from short-circuiting and leaking, improving operational safety and avoiding damage to the battery by current conduction.

[0037] The adhesive is an insulating silicone adhesive, and the clamping pad 34 is an insulating and highly elastic rubber material.

[0038] The gripper 264 has a threaded hole 33, and the round-headed screw 32 is screwed into the threaded hole 33 by the thread.

[0039] Based on the above embodiments, further, the gripper 264 is made of high-strength metal, and four threaded holes 33 are provided inside the gripper 264. Then, after attaching the insulating substrate 31, the round-head screw 32 is screwed into the threaded holes 33 to fix the insulating substrate 31. When the round-head screw 32 is fully screwed into the threaded holes 33, the round head end plane of the round-head screw 32 is lower than the inner surface of the insulating substrate 31, so as to prevent the battery pack from contacting the round-head screw 32 when the clamping pad 34 is damaged. Finally, the clamping pad 34 is bonded to the inner surface of the insulating substrate 31 with silicone adhesive to avoid damage and deformation of the battery pack caused by rigid clamping. At the same time, the clamping pad 34, adhesive and insulating substrate 31 are all insulating materials, which can effectively prevent battery short circuit and leakage, improve operational safety and avoid damage to the battery by current conduction.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
