Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. In addition, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for illustration and explanation of this application and are not intended to limit this application. In this application, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" generally refer to the upper and lower positions of the device in actual use or operation, specifically the drawing directions in the accompanying drawings; while "inner" and "outer" refer to the outline of the device.

[0032] The following is combined Figure 1 and Figure 8 This application describes the busbar welding apparatus and the complete busbar welding machine.

[0033] According to the embodiments of the first aspect of this application, such as Figure 6 As shown, the busbar welding device includes:

[0034] Busbar welding assembly 43 is used to weld the busbar and the wire harness together;

[0035] Busbar moving assembly 44 is disposed adjacent to busbar welding assembly 43;

[0036] The first welding inspection piece 51 is disposed adjacent to the bus welding assembly 43. The first welding inspection piece 51 is used to inspect the weld points of the bus. The bus moving assembly 44 is used to move the bus from the bus welding assembly 43 to the first welding inspection piece 51.

[0037] According to the bus welding apparatus of this application embodiment, the bus and wire harness are welded together by the bus welding assembly 43, realizing automatic welding of the bus and wire harness. Then, the bus with the welded wire harness is moved to the first welding inspection piece 51 by the bus moving assembly 44, and the first welding inspection piece 51 is used to inspect the weld joints of the bus. In other words, this application realizes automatic welding of the bus and wire harness by the bus welding assembly 43, and automatically moves the bus with the welded wire harness to the first welding inspection piece 51 by the bus moving assembly 44. The first welding inspection piece 51 then automatically inspects the weld joints of the bus, improving the automation level of bus and wire harness welding and helping to improve production efficiency.

[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6As shown, the busbar welding device also includes a second welding inspection element 52, which is spaced apart from the first welding inspection element 51. The second welding inspection element 52 is used to inspect the welding surface of the busbar.

[0039] It is understandable that the weld surface of the busbar can be inspected through the second welding inspection piece 52. In other words, through the cooperation of the first welding inspection piece 51 and the second welding inspection piece 52, the weld points and weld surfaces of the busbar can be inspected, thus achieving double-sided inspection of the busbar.

[0040] In some examples, the solder joints of the bus are located on the lower surface of the bus, and the solder surface of the bus is located on the upper surface of the bus. Therefore, the first welding inspection piece 51 can be placed below the bus and the second welding inspection piece 52 can be placed above the bus.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first welding inspection element 51 and the second welding inspection element 52 are arranged opposite to each other, and the bus moving assembly 44 is used to move the bus between the first welding inspection element 51 and the second welding inspection element 52 so that the first welding inspection element 51 and the second welding inspection element 52 can simultaneously inspect the bus.

[0042] Understandably, the first welding inspection piece 51 and the second welding inspection piece 52 are arranged opposite each other with a gap between them. Then, the busbar with the welded wire harness is moved between the first welding inspection piece 51 and the second welding inspection piece 52 by the busbar moving assembly 44. This allows the first welding inspection piece 51 to inspect the weld points on one side of the busbar, and the second welding inspection piece 52 to inspect the weld surface on the other side of the busbar, thus achieving simultaneous inspection of both the weld points and the weld surface of the busbar and improving inspection efficiency.

[0043] In some examples, the bus welding assembly 43 is, for example, an ultrasonic welded component.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the busbar welding device includes a busbar feeding assembly 41, a busbar placement seat 42, a busbar welding assembly 43, and a busbar moving assembly 44;

[0045] The busbar placement seat 42 is located between the busbar feeding component 41 and the busbar moving component 44. The busbar feeding component 41 is used to feed the busbar to the busbar placement seat 42.

[0046] The bus welding assembly 43 and the bus moving assembly 44 are arranged adjacent to each other. The bus moving assembly 44 is used to move the bus at the bus placement seat 42 to the bus welding assembly 43.

[0047] Busbar welding assembly 43 is used to weld busbars and wire harnesses together.

[0048] According to the bus welding apparatus of this application embodiment, the bus loading component 41 can move and load the bus to the bus placement seat 42, which can support the bus. Then, the bus moving component 44 moves the bus from the bus placement seat 42 to the bus welding component 43, so that the bus welding component 43 can weld the bus and the wire harness together, realizing automated welding of the bus and the wire harness. In other words, this application can realize automatic bus loading, automatically move the bus to the bus welding component 43, and automatically weld the bus and the wire harness together, improving the automation level of welding of the wire harness and the bus, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the busbar feeding assembly 41 includes a busbar feeding rack 411, a busbar feeding drive 412, and a busbar feeding adsorption component 413. The busbar feeding drive 412 is installed on the busbar feeding rack 411, and the busbar feeding adsorption component 413 is connected to the busbar feeding drive 412. The busbar feeding adsorption component 413 is used to adsorb the busbar, and the busbar feeding drive 412 is used to drive the busbar feeding adsorption component 413 to move to the busbar placement seat 42.

[0050] Understandably, the busbar loading rack 411 can support the busbar loading drive 412. The busbar loading drive 412 can drive the busbar loading adsorption component 413 to move, so that the busbar loading adsorption component 413 with the busbar adsorbed can move to the busbar placement seat 42. Then, the busbar loading adsorption component 413 releases the busbar, thus moving the busbar to the busbar placement seat 42, realizing the automatic movement of the busbar.

[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the busbar feeding assembly 41 also includes a busbar turntable 414, which has multiple busbar receiving cavities for accommodating the busbars. The busbar turntable 414 can drive the multiple busbar receiving cavities to move and rotate to below the busbar feeding adsorption component 413.

[0052] Understandably, a certain number of manifolds are placed in each manifold receiving cavity of the manifold turntable 414. The manifold turntable 414 can drive multiple manifold receiving cavities to rotate sequentially to the bottom of the manifold feeding adsorption component 413, so that the manifold feeding adsorption component 413 can adsorb the manifolds. Then, the manifold feeding drive component 412 moves the manifold feeding adsorption component 413 and the manifolds to the manifold placement seat 42, thereby realizing the automatic feeding of the manifolds.

[0053] It should be noted that the manifold turntable 414 can rotate only after the manifolds in one of the manifold receiving chambers have been consumed, so that the next manifold receiving chamber moves below the manifold feeding adsorption member 413. Alternatively, the manifold turntable 414 can rotate only after the manifold feeding adsorption member 413 has adsorbed one manifold from one of the manifold receiving chambers, so that the next manifold receiving chamber moves below the manifold feeding adsorption member 413.

[0054] In some examples, the busbar loading drive 412 includes a lateral drive and a vertical drive. The lateral drive is used to drive the vertical drive to move laterally, and the vertical drive is used to drive the busbar loading adsorption component 413 to move vertically.

[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the busbar feeding suction component 413 includes a lifting drive component 4131 and a busbar feeding suction cup 4132. The lifting drive component 4131 is connected to the busbar feeding drive component 412, and the busbar feeding suction cup 4132 is connected to the lifting drive component 4131. The lifting drive component 4131 is used to drive the busbar feeding suction cup 4132 to move up and down relative to the busbar turntable 414.

[0056] Understandably, the busbar loading drive 412 can drive the lifting drive 4131 to move between the busbar turntable 414 and the busbar placement seat 42, and the busbar loading suction cup 4132 will move together between the busbar turntable 414 and the busbar placement seat 42. When the manifold loading suction cup 4132 moves above the manifold receiving cavity, the lifting drive component 4131 drives the manifold loading suction cup 4132 to move downward, so that the manifold loading suction cup 4132 can be adsorbed onto the manifold. Then, the lifting drive component 4131 drives the manifold loading suction cup 4132 to move upward, and the manifold loading drive component 412 drives the lifting drive component 4131 and the manifold loading suction cup 4132 to move towards the manifold placement seat 42. When the manifold loading suction cup 4132 moves to the manifold placement seat 42, the lifting drive component 4131 drives the manifold loading suction cup 4132 to move downward, so as to place the manifold at the manifold placement seat 42, thereby realizing the automatic loading of the manifold.

[0057] In some embodiments, the bus placement seat 42 is formed with a bus limiting groove for placing the bus.

[0058] Understandably, the busbar limiting groove can limit the busbar, allowing it to be stably placed on the busbar placement seat 42.

[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bus moving assembly 44 includes a bus moving drive 441 and a bus moving adsorption component 442. The bus moving adsorption component 442 is connected to the bus moving drive 441 and is used to adsorb the bus. The bus moving drive 441 is used to drive the bus moving adsorption component 442 to move between the bus placement seat 42 and the bus welding assembly 43.

[0060] Understandably, the bus moving drive 441 can drive the bus moving adsorption component 442 to move to the bus placement seat 42, so that the bus moving adsorption component 442 can adsorb the bus at the bus placement seat 42. Then, the bus moving drive 441 drives the bus moving adsorption component 442 to move to the bus welding assembly 43, so that the bus welding assembly 43 can weld the wire harness and the bus together.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the number of manifold moving adsorption components 442 is at least two. The at least two manifold moving adsorption components 442 include a first adsorption component 4421 and a second adsorption component 4422. The first adsorption component 4421 and the second adsorption component 4422 are both connected to the manifold moving drive component 441. The first adsorption component 4421 and the second adsorption component 4422 are arranged at intervals. The manifold moving drive component 441 is used to drive the first adsorption component 4421 to move between the manifold placement seat 42 and the manifold welding assembly 43. The manifold moving drive component 441 is also used to drive the second adsorption component 4422 to move between the manifold welding assembly 43 and the next work station.

[0062] Understandably, the bus moving drive 441 can simultaneously move the first suction member 4421 and the second suction member 4422. While the bus moving drive 441 moves the first suction member 4421 to the bus placement seat 42, the second suction member 4422 moves to the bus welding assembly 43. After the first suction member 4421 attaches to the bus at the bus placement seat 42, and the bus welding assembly 43 completes the welding connection between the wire harness and the bus, the bus moving drive 441 moves the first suction member 4421 to the bus welding assembly 43 to move the bus. Simultaneously, the second suction member 4422 moves the bus with the welded wire harness to the next station, achieving simultaneous movement of both unwelded and welded busbars, thus improving efficiency.

[0063] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the busbar moving assembly 44 also includes a busbar moving connecting frame 443, which is connected to the busbar moving drive component 441. The first adsorption component 4421 and the second adsorption component 4422 are both connected to the busbar moving connecting frame 443, so that the busbar moving drive component 441 can simultaneously drive the first adsorption component 4421 and the second adsorption component 4422 to move.

[0064] It should be noted that the distance between the first adsorption element 4421 and the second adsorption element 4422, the distance between the busbar placement seat 42 and the busbar welding assembly 43, and the distance between the busbar welding assembly 43 and the next work station are all the same.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the manifold moving suction component 442 includes a telescopic drive component 4423 and a manifold moving suction cup 4424. The telescopic drive component 4423 is connected to the manifold moving drive component 441, and the manifold moving suction cup 4424 is connected to the telescopic drive component 4423. The manifold moving drive component 441 is used to drive the telescopic drive component 4423 to move along a first direction, and the telescopic drive component 4423 is used to drive the manifold moving suction cup 4424 to move along a second direction. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0066] Understandably, through the cooperation of the busbar moving drive 441 and the telescopic drive 4423, the position of the busbar moving suction cup 4424 can be adjusted in the first and second directions, so that the busbar moving suction cup 4424 can be accurately moved to the busbar placement seat 42 or the busbar welding assembly 43.

[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the busbar welding device also includes:

[0068] Ultrasonic welding base 45, used to support the busbar;

[0069] The wire harness clamping assembly 46 is connected to the ultrasonic welding base 45 and is used to clamp the wire harness.

[0070] The busbar welding assembly 43 is located above the ultrasonic welding base 45.

[0071] According to the bus welding apparatus of this application embodiment, the busbar is placed on the ultrasonic welding base 45, and then the wire harness is moved to the busbar and clamped by the wire harness clamping assembly 46 to keep the wire harness stable. Then, the busbar welding assembly 43 welds the busbar and the wire harness together, thereby realizing the automated welding connection between the busbar and the wire harness. In other words, this application uses the wire harness clamping assembly 46 to keep the wire harness stable, which can prevent the wire harness from shaking or shifting during welding, thus ensuring the welding effect between the busbar and the wire harness.

[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the wire harness clamping assembly 46 includes a wire harness clamping drive 461 and two wire harness clamping parts 462. The wire harness clamping drive 461 is connected to the ultrasonic welding base 45, and the two wire harness clamping parts 462 are connected to the wire harness clamping drive 461. The wire harness clamping drive 461 is used to drive the two wire harness clamping parts 462 to move closer or further away from each other in order to clamp or release the wire harness.

[0073] Understandably, the wire harness clamping drive 461 drives the two wire harness clamping parts 462 to move away from each other, facilitating the movement of the wire harness between the two clamping parts 462 so that the end of the wire harness abuts against the busbar. Then, the wire harness clamping drive 461 drives the two clamping parts 462 to move closer together, clamping the wire harness and securing it. This effectively prevents the end of the wire harness from shaking or moving during welding, ensuring a good welding result between the wire harness and the busbar. After welding the wire harness to the busbar is complete, the wire harness clamping drive 461 drives the two clamping parts 462 to move away from each other, releasing the wire harness and allowing the busbar with the welded wire harness to move to the next station.

[0074] Specifically, the first end of the wire harness clamping part 462 is connected to the wire harness clamping drive member 461, and the second end of the wire harness clamping part 462 protrudes from the ultrasonic welding base 45.

[0075] It is understandable that the second end of the wire harness clamping part 462 is used to clamp the wire harness. If the second end of the wire harness clamping part 462 is lower than the ultrasonic welding base 45, the wire harness clamping part 462 will pull the wire harness downwards when clamping it, causing the end of the wire harness to curl up, which in turn prevents the end of the wire harness from maintaining contact with the busbar. Therefore, in this embodiment, the second end of the wire harness clamping part 462 is set to protrude from the ultrasonic welding base 45, so that the wire harness clamping part 462 will not affect the contact between the wire harness and the busbar while clamping the wire harness, thus avoiding any impact on the welding quality of the wire harness and the busbar.

[0076] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic welding base 45 is formed with a welding mounting groove for accommodating a busbar.

[0077] Understandably, the welding mounting groove can limit the movement of the busbar, ensuring the stability of the busbar at 45° on the ultrasonic welding base.

[0078] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic welding base 45 is formed with a wire harness communication structure, which is connected to the welding mounting groove so that the wire harness can be inserted into the welding mounting groove through the wire harness communication structure.

[0079] It is understandable that by forming a wire harness connecting structure at the ultrasonic welding base 45, the end of the wire harness can be inserted through the wire harness connecting structure and located in the welding mounting groove, so that the end of the wire harness can abut against the busbar in the welding mounting groove.

[0080] In some examples, the wiring harness connection structure is, for example, a hole or notch or any other suitable connection structure.

[0081] According to an embodiment of the second aspect of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the busbar welding machine includes the aforementioned busbar welding device.

[0082] According to the bus welding machine of this application embodiment, the bus and wire harness are welded together by the bus welding assembly 43, realizing automatic welding of the bus and wire harness. Then, the bus with the welded wire harness is moved to the first welding inspection piece 51 by the bus moving assembly 44, and the first welding inspection piece 51 is used to inspect the weld points of the bus. In other words, this application realizes automatic welding of the bus and wire harness by the bus welding assembly 43, and automatically moves the bus with the welded wire harness to the first welding inspection piece 51 by the bus moving assembly 44. The first welding inspection piece 51 then automatically inspects the weld points of the bus, improving the automation level of bus and wire harness welding and helping to improve production efficiency.

[0083] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the busbar welding machine also includes a main body 47, and the busbar welding device is spaced apart from the main body 47.

[0084] It is understandable that the busbar welding device is spaced apart from the main body 47 to prevent the main body 47 from vibrating when the busbar welding device is working, thus avoiding affecting other workstations on the main body 47.

[0085] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the busbar welding machine also includes a mounting column 48. The busbar welding device is connected to the first end of the mounting column 48, and the second end of the mounting column 48 is connected to the ground. The mounting column 48 and the main body 47 are spaced apart.

[0086] It is understandable that the mounting post 48 is directly connected to the ground and spaced apart from the main body 47. Connecting the busbar welding device to the mounting post 48 can separate the busbar welding device from the main body 47 while installing the ultrasonic welding device, so as to prevent the main body 47 from vibrating when the busbar welding device is working.

[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bus welding device also includes a bus welding base plate 49, a bus welding assembly 43 and an ultrasonic welding base 45 connected to the same side of the bus welding base plate 49, and the bus welding base plate 49 and the main body 47 are spaced apart.

[0088] Understandably, connecting the busbar welding assembly 43 and the ultrasonic welding base 45 simultaneously to the same side of the busbar welding base plate 49 facilitates the welding operation of the busbar by the busbar welding assembly 43 on the busbar at the ultrasonic welding base 45. Meanwhile, the busbar welding base plate 49 is spaced apart from the main body 47, thus preventing vibration of the main body 47 during ultrasonic welding of the busbar.

[0089] Specifically, the side of the busbar welding base plate 49 facing away from the busbar welding assembly 43 is connected to the first end of the mounting post 48.

[0090] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the busbar welding machine also includes a body 47, which has a worktable 471. The worktable 471 has a detection port 472, which is connected to the internal space of the worktable 471. A first welding detection piece 51 is located in the internal space of the worktable 471. The busbar moving component 44 can move the busbar to the detection port 472 so that the first welding detection piece 51 can detect the weld points of the busbar through the detection port 472.

[0091] Understandably, placing the first welding inspection piece 51 within the internal space of the workbench 471, specifically below the busbar moving assembly 44, allows the busbar moving assembly 44 to move the busbar above the first welding inspection piece 51. This facilitates the first welding inspection piece 51's inspection of the weld points on the lower surface of the busbar, while also improving the space utilization of the workbench 471. A detection port 472, communicating with the internal space, is formed at the workbench 471. The busbar moving assembly 44 moves the busbar to the detection port 472, allowing the first welding inspection piece 51 to inspect the weld points of the busbar, thus achieving automated inspection of the busbar weld points.

[0092] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first welding inspection piece 51 includes a first welding bracket 511 and a first welding inspection camera 512. The first welding bracket 511 is fixedly installed in the internal space of the workbench 471, and the first welding inspection camera 512 is connected to the first welding bracket 511. The first welding inspection camera 512 is directly facing the inspection port 472.

[0093] Understandably, the first welding bracket 511 provides support for the welding inspection camera, allowing the first welding inspection camera 512 to be stably installed in the internal space of the workbench 471. Simultaneously, with the first welding inspection camera 512 facing the inspection port 472, when the busbar moving assembly 44 moves the busbar to the inspection port 472, the first welding inspection camera 512 can capture and inspect the weld points of the busbar.

[0094] In some embodiments, the busbar welding machine further includes a rotating moving device, which is disposed adjacent to the first welding inspection piece 51. The busbar moving assembly 44 is used to move the busbar from the first welding inspection piece 51 to the rotating moving device, and the rotating moving device is used to move the busbar to the second welding inspection piece 52.

[0095] Understandably, the bus moving assembly 44 moves the bus to the inspection port 472. The first welding inspection piece 51 completes the inspection of the weld joint of the bus through the inspection port 472. The bus moving assembly 44 then continues to move the bus to the rotating moving device, and then moves the bus to the second welding inspection piece 52 through the rotating moving device, so that the second welding inspection piece 52 can inspect the weld surface of the bus.

[0096] Specifically, such as Figure 6As shown, the second welding inspection component 52 includes a second welding bracket 521 and a second welding inspection camera 522. The second welding bracket 521 is fixedly installed on the workbench 471, and the second welding inspection camera 522 is connected to the second welding bracket 521. The second welding inspection camera 522 is located above the rotating moving device.

[0097] Understandably, the second welding bracket 521 can support the second welding inspection camera 522, so that the second welding inspection camera 522 can be stably positioned above the rotating moving device, thereby facilitating the second welding inspection camera 522 to inspect the weld surface of the busbar without interfering with the rotating moving device.

[0098] It should be noted that detecting weld points and weld surfaces by taking pictures is a mature existing technology. The main improvement of this embodiment lies in the application of the first welding detection camera 512 and the second welding detection camera 522, rather than analyzing and detecting weld points and weld surfaces based on the captured images.

[0099] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the rotary moving device includes:

[0100] Wheel drive assembly 53;

[0101] Multiple platforms 54 are connected to a rotary drive assembly 53. The platforms 54 are used to carry busbars with welded wire harnesses. The rotary drive assembly 53 is used to drive the platforms 54 to rotate, so that the platforms 54 move sequentially to different workstations.

[0102] A wire harness fixing component 55 is provided at each platform 54. The wire harness fixing component 55 is used to fix the wire harness.

[0103] According to the rotary moving device of this application embodiment, a plurality of platforms 54 are connected to the rotary drive component 53. Each platform 54 can be used to carry a busbar, and the rotary drive component 53 can drive the platform 54 to rotate, so that the platform 54 and the busbar on the platform 54 can move sequentially to different workstations to realize the automatic movement of the busbar. Each platform 54 is provided with a wire harness fixing component 55. When the busbar is placed on the platform 54, the wire harness fixing component 55 can fix the wire harness welded to the busbar, so that the end of the wire harness welded to the busbar remains fixed, preventing the end of the wire harness welded to the busbar from shaking during the movement of the busbar, which would cause the connection between the wire harness and the busbar to loosen, thus ensuring the stability of the connection between the wire harness and the busbar.

[0104] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the wheel drive assembly 53 includes a wheel mounting plate 531 and a wheel drive component 532. The wheel mounting plate 531 forms a wheel track 533. The platform 54 is slidably fitted onto the wheel track 533. The wheel drive component 532 is mounted on the wheel mounting plate 531. The platform 54 is connected to the wheel drive component 532. The wheel drive component 532 is used to drive the platform 54 to move along the wheel track 533.

[0105] It is understandable that the platform 54 is slidably engaged with the rotary track 533, meaning that the platform 54 can rotate along the rotary track 533. Furthermore, the rotary drive component 532 drives the platform 54 to move, thus enabling the platform 54 to move along the rotary track 533 and achieve the rotation of the platform 54.

[0106] In some examples, the rotating mounting plate 531 is vertically positioned.

[0107] Specifically, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the rotary drive component 532 includes a rotary motor 5321 and a transmission chain 5322. The platform 54 is connected to the transmission chain 5322, and the rotary motor 5321 is connected to the transmission chain 5322. The rotary motor 5321 is used to drive the transmission chain 5322 to rotate, so that the platform 54 moves along the rotary track 533.

[0108] It is understandable that the rotary motor 5321 drives the transmission chain 5322 to rotate, which in turn drives the platform 54 to move, thereby causing the platform 54 to move along the rotary track 533, thus realizing the rotation of the platform 54.

[0109] It should be noted that the wheel drive component 532 can also be a gear set. The gear set is driven to rotate by a motor, and the gear set is connected to the platform 54, thereby realizing the drive of the platform 54.

[0110] In some examples, the rotary motor 5321 and the transmission chain 5322 are located on both sides of the rotary mounting plate 531, making the structural distribution of the rotary moving device more uniform and facilitating the installation of the components of the rotary moving device.

[0111] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the platform 54 has a first roller 541 and a second roller, which are located on both sides of the rotating track 533, and both the first roller 541 and the second roller are in rolling cooperation with the rotating track 533.

[0112] Understandably, the platform 54 can move relative to the rotating track 533 through the rolling cooperation between the rollers and the rotating track 533. Positioning the first roller 541 and the second roller on opposite sides of the rotating track 533 improves the stability of the connection between the platform 54 and the rotating track 533, preventing the platform 54 from detaching from the rotating track 533.

[0113] Specifically, a first track groove is formed on the first side of the rotating track 533, and a second track groove is formed on the second side of the rotating track 533. The first side and the second side of the rotating track 533 are arranged opposite to each other. The first roller 541 is engaged in the first track groove, and the second roller is engaged in the second track groove.

[0114] Understandably, the first track groove can limit the first roller 541 to prevent it from detaching from the wheel track 533, and the second track groove can limit the second roller to prevent it from detaching from the wheel track 533. This can effectively improve the stability of the cooperation between the platform 54 and the wheel track 533 and prevent the platform 54 from falling off the wheel track 533.

[0115] In some embodiments, the platform 54 is connected to the wheel drive assembly 53 via a wheel drive connecting plate, and the wheel drive connecting plate is detachably connected to the platform 54.

[0116] It is understandable that the platform 54 and the wheel drive assembly 53 are connected by the wheel connecting plate, so that the wheel drive assembly 53 can drive the platform 54 to move, realizing the rotation of the platform 54. The wheel connecting plate is detachably connected to the platform 54, so that the platform 54 can be disassembled separately, which is convenient for replacement, maintenance and other operations of the platform 54.

[0117] Specifically, the first end of the wheel-rotating connecting plate is detachably connected to the platform 54, and the second end of the wheel-rotating connecting plate is connected to the transmission chain 5322.

[0118] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the wire harness fixing assembly 55 includes a wire harness fixing drive and two wire harness fixing parts 551. The wire harness fixing parts 551 are connected to the wire harness fixing drive. The wire harness fixing drive is used to drive the two wire harness fixing parts 551 to move closer or further apart from each other, so that the two wire harness fixing parts 551 clamp the wire harness or release the wire harness.

[0119] It is understandable that by driving the two wire harness fixing parts 551 closer together through the wire harness fixing drive, the two wire harness fixing parts 551 can clamp the wire harness. By driving the two wire harness fixing parts 551 further apart through the wire harness fixing drive, the wire harness can move relative to the two wire harness fixing parts 551, thereby realizing the operation of releasing the wire harness.

[0120] Specifically, the wire harness fixing drive and the wire harness fixing part 551 are located on both sides of the rotating mounting plate.

[0121] Understandably, this makes the structural distribution of the rotating moving device more uniform and facilitates the installation of its components.

[0122] It should be noted that in this application, the driving component may be, for example, a motor, a cylinder, or any other suitable driving structure. Furthermore, since the driving component is an existing part, its specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail here.

[0123] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of this application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
