Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of battery module handling equipment, specifically a box-entry gripper that is compatible with multiple modules. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, module PACK production lines need to be compatible with a wide variety of modules, each with different length, width, and height dimensions. Furthermore, the length of modules within the same battery pack can also vary, making it difficult to ensure compatibility of module loading grippers. For example, the technical solution previously launched by our company with application number 2025210965298 typically requires several sets of loading grippers in the workshop to accommodate different types of modules. This increases the cost of handling battery modules, and the replacement of loading grippers also increases changeover time. Utility Model Content

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the side of the mounting plate facing the module is also provided with an insert plate, which is inserted between the mounting plate and the second suction cup to prevent the second suction cup from moving upward.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the two ends of the insert plate are slidably engaged with the first guide rail provided on the mounting plate through the first slider, and the insert plate is slidably moved on the first guide rail by the third driving member.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the support frame is further provided with brackets on both sides, and the lower end of the bracket is rotated towards the inside of the support frame by a fourth driving member, so that the lower end of the bracket is connected to the bottom surface of the module to support the module.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: a clamping component is also provided below the support frame, and there are two clamping components, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first suction cup.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: the clamping assembly includes a mounting base, one side of which is connected to a fifth driving member, and the other side of the mounting base is also provided with a clamp, which is moved by the fifth driving member.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model: several connecting grooves with the same structure are distributed on the side of the support frame, and the mounting base is connected to the connecting grooves at different positions through the connecting block provided on the mounting base, so as to adjust the position of the mounting base on the support frame.

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-8This utility model provides an embodiment of a box-loading gripper compatible with multiple modules, including a support frame 1. One side of the support frame 1 is provided with a first driving member 6, and the other side of the support frame 1 is provided with a suction cup assembly 3. The suction cup assembly 3 is moved on the other side of the support frame 1 by the first driving member 6. The suction cup assembly 3 includes a mounting plate 30. One side of the mounting plate 30 is provided with a first suction cup 34, and a second suction cup 35 is provided on one side of the first suction cup 34. The mounting plate 30 is also provided with a second driving member 32, and the working part of the second driving member 32 is connected to the second suction cup 35 so that the second driving member 32 causes the second suction cup 35 to move.

[0029] In summary, when the second suction cup 35 moves upward and is offset from the first suction cup 34, the first suction cup 34 can be used to grip smaller battery modules independently. When the first suction cup 34 is flush with the second suction cup 35, the length of the suction cup assembly 3 can be extended, making it easier for the suction cup assembly 3 to grip longer modules. Based on this, the cooperation of the two suction cups allows the box-loading gripper to grip battery modules of different sizes without needing to be replaced, thus solving the shortcomings of existing grippers. Specifically, the first driving component 6 causes the entire suction cup assembly 3 to move towards the module, facilitating contact between the first suction cup 34 and the module. At the same time, the second driving component 32 independently controls the second suction cup 35 to be flush with or offset from the first suction cup 34, thus allowing independent control of the two suction cups, enabling users to select the required suction cup simultaneously or individually according to actual needs.

[0030] The second suction cup 35 includes a support plate 39, one side of which has an air extraction port 310, and the other side of which has a hollow bracket 312. Multiple brackets 312 are arranged side-by-side on the support plate 39. Each bracket 312 has an air pipe connector on both sides, connected to an air pipe connector 314 via an air pipe, thus connecting the air extraction port 310 to each bracket 312. Simultaneously, the side of the bracket 312 facing the module also has a soft gel body 311, which has a negative pressure chamber 313 connected to the interior of the bracket 312. When the soft gel body 311 is pressed and contacts the module, the air extraction port 310 connects to an external negative pressure device, causing the negative pressure chamber 313 to suck up the module. The first suction cup 34, except for being larger than the second suction cup 35, has the same working principle and structure.

[0031] In order to ensure that the entire suction cup assembly 3 can move stably and reliably, the support frame 1 is also provided with a guide seat 10, and the mounting plate 30 is also provided with a guide rod 31, and the guide rod 31 passes through the guide seat 10 and is connected to the provided limiting plate 7.

[0032] Meanwhile, the mounting plate 30 also has an insert plate 36 on the side facing the module. This insert plate 36 is inserted between the mounting plate 30 and the second suction cup 35 to prevent the second suction cup 35 from moving upwards. Furthermore, the two ends of the insert plate 36 are slidably engaged with a first guide rail 38 on the mounting plate 30 via a first slider 37, and a third driving member 33 causes the insert plate 36 to slide on the first guide rail 38. Based on this, the third driving member 33 can be used to automatically insert the insert plate 36 above the second suction cup 35, mainly providing a counterforce support to ensure that when the first suction cup 34 and the second suction cup 35 are aligned, the two suction cups are at the same height, thus ensuring that the two suction cups synchronously press the module into the battery pack.

[0033] To further ensure the reliability of the gripping module, brackets 5 are provided on both sides of the support frame 1. A fourth driving component 8 causes the lower end of the bracket 5 to rotate inwards towards the support frame 1, connecting the lower end of the bracket 5 to the bottom surface of the module to support it. Therefore, the gripper uses the suction cup assembly 3 to grip the upper surface of the module and the brackets 5 to support it on the lower surface, thus reliably fixing both sides of the module and preventing it from easily falling off during movement.

[0034] Based on the above solution, since there are two clamping components 4 below the support frame 1, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first suction cup 34, the module can be fixed on both sides by the corresponding clamping components 4. Therefore, the gripper covers all surfaces of the module except the bottom surface, with corresponding fixing structures, thus effectively ensuring the stability and safety of the module during movement.

[0035] Furthermore, since the clamping assembly 4 includes a mounting base 40, one side of the mounting base 40 is connected to a fifth driving member 43, and the other side of the mounting base 40 is also provided with a chuck 41, and the chuck 41 is moved by the fifth driving member 43, the clamping assembly 4 can clamp a longer module by moving the chuck 41 in opposite directions.

[0036] Furthermore, since several identical connecting grooves 9 are distributed on the side of the support frame 1, the connecting blocks 42 provided on the mounting base 40 are connected to the connecting grooves 9 at different positions to adjust the position of the mounting base 40 on the support frame 1. Specifically, after the connecting block 42 is inserted into the connecting groove 9, a bolt is used to pass through the connecting block 42 and connect to the screw hole in the connecting groove 9. Therefore, the connecting block 42 can be reliably located in the connecting groove 9 to avoid displacement of the entire clamping assembly 4 due to displacement of the connecting block 42.

[0037] In addition, the connecting block 42 is connected to the connecting slots 9 at different positions on the support frame 1, so the position of the clamping component 4 on the support frame 1 can be adjusted. This allows the device to be compatible with battery modules of more sizes, further solving the problem of production efficiency being affected by changing the box-entry gripper and the problem of excessive production cost due to equipping multiple box-entry grippers.

[0038] In order to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the clamping component 4 and ensure the stable and reliable directional sliding of the clamp 41, both ends of the clamp 41 and the mounting base 40 are provided with second sliders 44, and the second sliders 44 are slidably connected to the second guide rail 11 provided on the bottom surface of the support frame 1.

[0039] Since the mounting base 40 is connected to the second guide rail 11 via the second slider 44, the clamping component 4 can be easily and conveniently slid along the length of the support frame 1 after the connecting block 42 is separated from the connecting groove 9. Therefore, when the overall position of the clamping component 4 is moved, no other lifting tools are needed, and the position adjustment of the clamping component 4 can be completed simply, conveniently and quickly.

[0040] In addition, to facilitate the connection of the box clamp to the truss, a connecting frame 2 is provided on the upper surface of the support frame 1, and a gun changing plate is installed on the connecting frame 2. The gun changing plate, the first drive component 6, the second drive component 32, the third drive component 33, the fourth drive component 8, and the fifth drive component 43 can all be purchased from the market, and the specific models are as follows: the model of the gun changing plate is: LTC-3000A, the model of the first drive component 6 is: 5255448_EMMT-AS-80-L-HS-RMB, the model of the second drive component 32 is: MGPM63-250Z, the model of the third drive component 33 is: CDM2B32-100Z, the model of the fourth drive component 8 is: CKZT63-120T, and the model of the fifth drive component 43 is: 5255537EMMT-AS-100-L-HS-RMB.

[0041] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
