[0002] As the core energy unit of new energy vehicles and energy storage systems, the battery pack is usually composed of cell modules, electrical connection components and protective housing. During the manufacturing process, the outer housing cover needs to be pre-embedded with conductive terminals, fixing nuts and steel sleeves and other metal parts through injection molding to achieve electrical conduction, mechanical fixation and sealing functions. In the prior art, the pre-embedding process usually adopts a step-by-step automation scheme, that is, multiple independent robotic arms sequentially grab the metal parts and position them into the injection mold for forming, and then grab the top cover for unloading. The whole process requires multiple sets of equipment to work together, which has technical defects such as long process cycle and high equipment complexity. Moreover, the collaborative control of multiple robotic arms requires complex program scheduling and space avoidance design, which not only increases the equipment manufacturing cost, but also limits the overall production efficiency due to step-by-step operation. Therefore, this utility model proposes a mechanical clamp for the battery external box top cover parts to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content
