[0002] During battery module production, heat insulation pads need to be applied to the side surfaces of the batteries to adhere to and isolate adjacent batteries. These pads provide thermal insulation between adjacent batteries. The size of the heat insulation pads is basically the same as the battery side surface. Different battery sizes are specifically equipped with heat insulation pads of corresponding sizes, and the heat insulation pad grippers are designed to be roughly the same size as the pads. If a different sized heat insulation pad is encountered, the production line needs to be paused to replace the appropriate gripper, which significantly impacts production efficiency.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a gripper capable of quickly adjusting the position of the suction cup, comprising: a substrate 1, a first suction component 2, a second suction component 3, a third suction component 4, a first locking component 5, and a second locking component 6. The first adsorption component 2 is fixedly mounted on the substrate 1, the second adsorption component 3 is movably mounted on the substrate 1, and the third adsorption component 4 is movably mounted on the substrate 1 and is disposed opposite to the first adsorption component 2. The third adsorption component 4 is movably mounted on the substrate 1 and is located on one side (right side) of the first adsorption component 2 and the second adsorption component 3. The first locking component 5 is mounted on the substrate 1 and connected to the second adsorption component 3. The second locking component 6 is mounted on the substrate 1 and connected to the third adsorption component 4. The first locking component 5 is used to lock the second adsorption component 3 onto the substrate 1, and the second locking component 6 is used to lock the third adsorption component 4 onto the substrate 1.

[0027] Since the second adsorption component 3 and the third adsorption component 4 are movably mounted on the substrate 1, their positions can be adjusted according to the size of the heat insulation pad. Then, the first locking component 5 and the second locking component 6 respectively lock the second adsorption component 3 and the third adsorption component 4 onto the substrate 1, allowing the first adsorption component 2, the second adsorption component 3, and the third adsorption component 4 on the material-picking suction cup gripper to jointly adsorb the heat insulation pad. This allows for quick and flexible adjustment of the positions of the second adsorption component 3 and the third adsorption component 4 according to the size of the heat insulation pad being adsorbed, meeting the needs of the material-picking suction cup gripper to grasp heat insulation pads of various sizes. This high versatility eliminates the need to stop the production line to replace the corresponding gripper for each size of heat insulation pad, greatly improving the production line's efficiency.

[0028] In one specific embodiment, the substrate 1 has a longitudinal strip hole 11 and a transverse strip hole 12. The second adsorption component 3 is movably installed at the longitudinal strip hole 11 and is disposed opposite to the first adsorption component 2. The third adsorption component 4 is movably installed at the transverse strip hole 12.

[0029] Thus, by pre-opening longitudinal strip holes 11 and transverse strip holes 12 on the substrate 1, the second adsorption component 3 can be easily installed at the longitudinal strip holes 11 and its installation position can be flexibly adjusted along the longitudinal strip holes 11; the third adsorption component 4 can be easily installed at the transverse strip holes 12 and its installation position can be flexibly adjusted along the transverse strip holes 12.

[0030] In one specific embodiment, the first adsorption component 2 includes a first base plate 21, a first mounting base 22, and a first suction cup 23. The first base plate 21 is fixedly mounted on the substrate 1, the first mounting base 22 is fixedly mounted on the first base plate 21, and the first suction cup 23 is detachably mounted on the first mounting base 22. An air pipe connector 7 is provided on the first mounting base 22 to connect to the first suction cup 23. It should be noted that in this embodiment, there are two first suction cups 23. Negative air pressure is provided to the first suction cup 23 through an external air pipe connected to the air pipe connector 7, which enables the first suction cup 23 to have good adsorption force.

[0031] In this way, the position of the first suction component 2 can be fixed and kept unchanged; and since the first suction cup 23 is detachable, it is convenient to remove and replace the first suction cup 23 when it is damaged.

[0032] In one specific embodiment, the second adsorption component 3 includes a second base plate 31, a second mounting base 32, and a second suction cup 33. The second base plate 31 is movably mounted at the longitudinal strip hole 11, the second mounting base 32 is mounted on the second base plate 31, and the second suction cup 33 is mounted on the second mounting base 32. An air pipe connector 7 is provided on the second mounting base 32 to connect to the second suction cup 33. It should be noted that in this embodiment, there are two second suction cups 33. Negative air pressure is provided to the second suction cups 33 through an external air pipe connected to the air pipe connector 7, which enables the second suction cups 33 to have good adsorption force.

[0033] In this way, the position of the second suction component 3 on the substrate 1 can be adjusted, and since the second suction cup 33 is detachable, it is convenient to remove and replace the second suction cup 33 when it is damaged.

[0034] In one specific embodiment, a first guide rail 13 is provided on the substrate 1 near the longitudinal strip hole 11, and the first guide rail 13 is parallel to the longitudinal strip hole 11. A first slider 34 is provided on the bottom of the second base plate 31, and the first slider 34 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 13. In this way, the second adsorption component 3 can be stably installed, and the position of the second adsorption component 3 can be flexibly adjusted on the first guide rail 13.

[0035] In one specific embodiment, the third adsorption component 4 includes a third base plate 41, a third mounting base 42, and a third suction cup 43. The third base plate 41 is movably mounted at the transverse slot 12, the third mounting base 42 is mounted on the third base plate 41, and the third suction cup 43 is mounted on the third mounting base 42. An air pipe connector 7 is provided on the third mounting base 42 to connect to the third suction cup 43. It should be noted that in this embodiment, there are two third suction cups 43. Negative air pressure is provided to the third suction cups 43 through the air pipe connector 7 connected to an external air pipe, which enables the third suction cups 43 to have good adsorption force.

[0036] In this way, the position of the third adsorption component 4 on the substrate 1 can be adjusted, and since the third suction cup 43 is detachable, it is convenient to remove and replace the third suction cup 43 when it is damaged.

[0037] In one specific embodiment, a second guide rail 14 is provided on the substrate 1 near the transverse strip hole 12, and the second guide rail 14 is parallel to the transverse strip hole 12. A second slider 44 is provided on the bottom of the third base plate 41, and the second slider 44 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 14. In this way, the third adsorption component 4 can be stably installed, and the position of the third adsorption component 4 can be flexibly adjusted on the second guide rail 14.

[0038] In one specific embodiment, the first locking assembly 5 includes a first rack 51, a second rack 52, a first connecting plate 53, a first mounting block 54, a first pull rod 55, and a first elastic element 56. The first rack 51 is mounted on the base plate 1 and parallel to the longitudinal strip hole 11. The second rack 52 is located directly above the first rack 51. The first connecting plate 53 is located above the second rack 52 and connected to the second base plate 31. The first mounting block 54 is mounted on the first connecting plate 53. The first pull rod 55 is movably inserted and mounted on the first mounting block 54 and the first connecting plate 53, and the first pull rod 55 is connected to the top of the second rack 52. The first elastic member 56 is sleeved on the first pull rod 55 and movably mounted inside the first mounting block 54 and the first connecting plate 53. When the first elastic member 56 is in a stretched state, it can make the second rack 52 mesh with the first rack 51.

[0039] Normally, without external force, the first elastic element 56 is in a stretched state, causing the second rack 52 to engage with the first rack 51, thus locking the second adsorption assembly 3. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the second adsorption assembly 3 on the first guide rail 13, the first pull rod 55 needs to be pulled up first. At this time, the first elastic element 56 is compressed inside the first connecting plate 53 and the first mounting block 54, and the second rack 52 and the first rack 51 are temporarily separated. Then, by pushing the first connecting plate 53 or the second base plate 31, the position of the second adsorption assembly 3 on the first guide rail 13 can be adjusted as needed.

[0040] After adjusting the position of the second adsorption component 3, the first pull rod 55 is released. The first elastic element 56 returns to its stretched state under its own elasticity. Under the action of the first elastic element 56, the first pull rod 55 drives the second rack 52 to mesh with the first rack 51 again, locking the second adsorption component 3.

[0041] In one specific embodiment, the second locking assembly 6 includes a third rack 61, a fourth rack 62, a second connecting plate 63, a second mounting block 64, a second pull rod 65, and a second elastic element 66. The third rack 61 is mounted on the base plate 1 and parallel to the transverse strip hole 12. The fourth rack 62 is located directly above the third rack 61. The second connecting plate 63 is located above the fourth rack 62 and connected to the third base plate 41. The second mounting block 64 is mounted on the second connecting plate 63. The second pull rod 65 is movably inserted and mounted on the second mounting block 64 and the second connecting plate 63, and the second pull rod 65 is connected to the top of the fourth rack 62. The second elastic member 66 is sleeved on the second pull rod 65 and movably mounted inside the second mounting block 64 and the second connecting plate 63. When the second elastic member 66 is in a stretched state, it can make the fourth rack 62 mesh with the third rack 61.

[0042] Normally, without external force, the second elastic element 66 is in a stretched state, engaging the fourth rack 62 with the third rack 61, thus locking the third adsorption assembly 4. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the third adsorption assembly 4 on the second guide rail 14, the second pull rod 65 needs to be pulled up first. At this time, the second elastic element 66 is compressed inside the second connecting plate 63 and the second mounting block 64, and the fourth rack 62 and the third rack 61 are temporarily separated. Then, by pushing the second connecting plate 63 or the third base plate 41, the position of the third adsorption assembly 4 on the second guide rail 14 can be adjusted as needed.

[0043] After adjusting the position of the third adsorption component 4, the second pull rod 65 is released. The second elastic element 66 returns to its stretched state under its own elasticity. Under the action of the second elastic element 66, the second pull rod 65 drives the fourth rack 62 to mesh with the third rack 61 again, locking the third adsorption component 4.

[0044] It should be noted that in this embodiment, both the first elastic element 56 and the second elastic element 66 are springs. There are three of each of the following: the first adsorption component 2, the second adsorption component 3, and the third adsorption component 4. Each first adsorption component 2 corresponds to one second adsorption component 3 and one third adsorption component 4. The three first adsorption components 2 are installed at the three red dotted boxes, the three second adsorption components 3 are installed at the three blue dotted boxes, and the three third adsorption components 4 are installed at the three black dotted boxes. The specific installation positions are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it can simultaneously meet the needs of multiple heat insulation pads, improving material handling efficiency. The first connecting plate 53 is simultaneously connected to the second base plate 31 of the three second adsorption components 3, and the second connecting plate 63 is simultaneously connected to the third base plate 41 of the three third adsorption components 4, allowing for simultaneous adjustment of the positions of the three second adsorption components 3 and the three third adsorption components 4.

Therefore, without departing from the spirit and scope of the general concept defined by the claims and their equivalents, this invention is not limited to the specific details, representative devices and examples shown and described herein.
