For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integration; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal connections between two components or interactions between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this application based on specific circumstances.

[0052] Currently, market developments indicate that power batteries are becoming increasingly widely used. They are not only used in energy storage systems such as hydropower, thermal, wind, and solar power plants, but are also widely used in electric vehicles like electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and electric vehicles, as well as in military equipment and aerospace. As power battery applications continue to expand, market demand is also growing.

[0053] During the battery production process, battery modules need to be flipped to facilitate assembly or flip testing. However, due to the wide variety of battery models, the specifications of battery modules of different models may also vary, such as the length of different battery modules. The flipping devices used in related technologies for flipping battery modules have low compatibility and cannot meet the flipping operation requirements of battery modules of various specifications.

[0054] Based on the above considerations, in order to solve the problem of low compatibility of the flipping device in the related art, a flipping device is designed, which drives the first connecting member and / or the second connecting member to move on the mounting member and along the first direction by adjusting the driving member, so that the first clamp and the second clamp move toward each other in the first direction to clamp the material, or the first clamp and the second clamp move away from each other in the first direction to release the material; thereby adjusting the driving member can realize the conditional displacement of the first connecting member and / or the second connecting member along the first direction, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the distance between the first clamp and the second clamp, thereby, the first clamp and the second clamp can grasp materials of different lengths, which can effectively improve the compatibility of the flipping device.

[0055] The flipping device disclosed in the embodiments of the present application can be used to perform flipping operations on materials, including but not limited to battery modules, metal structures, electronic devices, etc. By performing a flipping operation on such materials, it is possible to detect the material's flipping or rotate it for assembly and connection. For example, taking the material as an example, the first and second jaws of the flipping device can grip the material, and the flipping operation is achieved by driving the flipping drive member.

[0056] For the convenience of description, the following embodiments are described by taking an embodiment of the present application in which a flipping device is used to flip a battery module as an example.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 1. In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a flipping device 1000, including a mounting member 300, a first clamping assembly 100, a second clamping assembly 200 and an adjusting drive member 400.

Optionally, the mounting member 300 includes, but is not limited to, a mounting plate, a mounting beam, a mounting bracket, a mounting truss, and other supporting structures. Thus, the movement of the first gripping assembly 100 and the second gripping assembly 200 can be controlled by controlling the movement of the mounting member 300 (e.g., by a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a robotic arm, or other external drive device), thereby achieving the purpose of the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw being used together to grip the material.

[0059] The first clamping assembly 100 includes a first connecting member 110, a flip driving member 120 and a first clamping jaw 130. The first connecting member 110 is set on the mounting member 300. The first clamping jaw 130 is rotatably connected to the first connecting member 110. The output end of the flip driving member 120 is connected to the first clamping jaw 130.

[0060] The first connecting member 110 is used to be set on the mounting member 300 and realize the connection support of the flip driving member 120 and the first clamping jaw 130; optionally, the first connecting member 110 can be fixedly installed on the mounting member 300, or the first connecting member 110 can also be slidably connected to the mounting member 300 and driven to slide by adjusting the driving member 400.

[0061] The first connecting member 110 includes, but is not limited to, connecting structures such as a connecting rod, a connecting plate, a connecting bracket, and a connecting block; the number of the first connecting members 110 can be one or more. It is understood that when there are multiple first connecting members 110, for example, two, the two first connecting members 110 can be arranged side by side on the mounting member 300 in a direction perpendicular to the first direction X, and the two first connecting members 110 can also be slid toward or away from each other on the mounting member 300 to adjust the distance between the two first connecting members 110, thereby adjusting the spacing between the two first clamping jaws 130 respectively connected to the two first connecting members 110 in a direction perpendicular to the first direction X.

[0062] The first clamping jaw 130 is used to clamp the material; optionally, the first clamping jaw 130 can be a structure formed by combining and enclosing multiple block structures, and the material can be clamped and clamped into the area enclosed by the multiple blocks to achieve the clamping purpose; or, the first clamping jaw 130 can also include two or more clamping cylinders, and the piston of the clamping cylinder is connected to a clamping plate, and the clamping plate is driven by the piston of the clamping cylinder to grab the material.

[0063] The first clamping jaw 130 is rotatably connected to the first connecting member 110, and the output end of the flip driving member 120 is connected to the first clamping jaw 130. Thus, the flip driving member 120 can drive the first clamping jaw 130 to rotate, so that the first clamping jaw 130 can synchronously drive the clamped material to rotate to achieve the purpose of flipping.

[0064] The above-mentioned flip driving member 120 is used to provide a rotational driving force, and the flip driving member 120 includes but is not limited to a reduction motor, a stepping motor, etc. The flip driving member 120 can be fixed to the first connecting member 110 by fasteners such as bolts and screws.

[0065] The second clamping assembly 200 includes a second connecting member 210 and a second clamping jaw 220 . The second connecting member 210 is disposed on the mounting member 300 , and the second clamping jaw 220 is rotatably connected to the second connecting member 210 .

[0066] The second connecting member 210 is used to be set on the mounting member 300 and realize the connection support of the second clamping jaw 220; optionally, the second connecting member 210 can be fixedly installed on the mounting member 300, or the second connecting member 210 can also be slidably connected to the mounting member 300 and driven to slide by adjusting the driving member 400.

[0067] The second connecting member 210 includes, but is not limited to, connecting structures such as a connecting rod, a connecting plate, a connecting bracket, and a connecting block; the number of the second connecting members 210 can be one or more. It is understood that when there are multiple second connecting members 210, for example, two, the two second connecting members 210 can be arranged side by side on the mounting member 300 in a direction perpendicular to the first direction X, and the two second connecting members 210 can also be slid toward or away from each other on the mounting member 300 to adjust the distance between the two second connecting members 210, thereby adjusting the spacing between the two second clamping jaws 220 respectively connected to the two second connecting members 210 in a direction perpendicular to the first direction X.

[0068] The second clamping jaw 220 is used to clamp the material; optionally, the second clamping jaw 220 can be a structure formed by combining and enclosing multiple block structures, and the material can be clamped and clamped into the area enclosed by the multiple blocks to achieve the clamping purpose; or, the second clamping jaw 220 can also include two or more clamping cylinders, and the piston of the clamping cylinder is connected to a clamping plate, and the clamping plate is driven by the piston of the clamping cylinder to grab the material.

[0069] The second jaw 220 is rotatably connected to the second connecting member 210, so that the second jaw 220 can rotate freely relative to the second connecting member 210; when the first jaw 130 and the second jaw 220 are used together to clamp materials, the flip driving member 120 drives the first jaw 130 to rotate, and the material and the second jaw 220 can rotate synchronously, thereby realizing the flipping operation of the material.

[0070] The adjusting drive member 400 is arranged on the mounting member 300, and the output end of the adjusting drive member 400 is connected to the first connecting member 110 and / or the second connecting member 210; the adjusting drive member 400 is used to drive the first connecting member 110 and / or the second connecting member 210 to move along the first direction X, so that the first clamping jaw 130 and the second clamping jaw 220 move toward or away from each other in the first direction X.

[0071] The above-mentioned first direction X refers to the driving direction of the adjusting drive member 400, that is, the first connecting member 110 and / or the second connecting member 210 can move along the first direction X under the driving action of the adjusting drive member 400, so that the distance between the first connecting member 110 and the second connecting member 210 will change, and the distance between the first clamping jaw 130 and the second clamping jaw 220 will also change synchronously, so that under the driving action of the adjusting drive member 400, the first clamping jaw 130 and the second clamping jaw 220 can be respectively located on opposite sides of the material in the first direction X, and the material can be clamped.

[0072] In which, the adjusting drive member 400 is used to drive the first connecting member 110 and / or the second connecting member 210 to move along the first direction X; optionally, the adjusting drive member 400 includes but is not limited to a driving structure such as a driving cylinder, a driving hydraulic cylinder, and a ball screw driving structure; the number of the adjusting drive members 400 can be one, and the adjusting drive member 400 is used to drive the first connecting member 110 or the second connecting member 210 to move along the first direction X; or, the number of the adjusting drive members 400 can be two, and the two adjusting drive members 400 are respectively connected to the first connecting member 110 and the second connecting member 210, and respectively drive the first connecting member 110 and the second connecting member 210 to move.

[0073] For example, in some specific embodiments, the number of the adjusting drive member 400 is one, and the adjusting drive member 400 adopts a ball screw drive structure, which is assembled on the mounting member 300; the first connecting member 110 is fixedly mounted on the mounting member 300 by a fastener, and the second connecting member 210 is slidably connected to the mounting member 300, and the output end of the ball screw drive structure is connected to the second connecting member 210, thereby, the ball screw drive structure can drive the second connecting member 210 to slide on the mounting member 300 along the first direction X, so that the ball screw drive structure can adjust the relative position between the first connecting member 110 and the second connecting member 210, and then adjust the distance between the first clamping jaw 130 and the second clamping jaw 220; therefore, the first clamping jaw 130 and the second clamping jaw 220 can clamp materials of different lengths, and the clamping compatibility of the first clamping jaw 130 and the second clamping jaw 220 is better.

[0074] In other specific embodiments, the number of the adjusting drive members 400 can be two, and the first connecting member 110 and the second connecting member 210 are both slidably connected to the mounting member 300; the output end of one of the adjusting drive members 400 is connected to the first connecting member 110, and the output end of the other adjusting drive member 400 is connected to the second connecting member 210. Thus, the two adjusting drive members 400 can respectively drive the first connecting member 110 and the second connecting member 210 to move along the first direction X to achieve position adjustment, thereby adjusting the distance between the first clamping jaw 130 and the second clamping jaw 220 to clamp materials of different lengths.

[0075] The flipping device 1000 provided in the embodiment of the present application uses the adjusting driving member 400 to adjust the displacement of the first connecting member 110 and / or the second connecting member 210 on the mounting member 300, so that the first connecting member 110 and / or the second connecting member 210 can move along the first direction X, so that the first clamping jaw 130 provided on the first connecting member 110 and the second clamping jaw 220 provided on the second connecting member 210 can move toward each other in the first direction X to clamp the material, or move away from each other to release the material, and in the state of clamping the material, the flipping driving member 400 is turned on. The moving part 120 can drive the first clamping jaw 130 to rotate, so that the first clamping jaw 130 drives the material and the second clamping jaw 220 to rotate synchronously to achieve the purpose of flipping; the flipping device 1000 provided in the embodiment of the present application can use the adjustment drive part 400 to adjust the relative positions of the first connecting member 110 and the second connecting member 210, so that the first clamping jaw 130 and the second clamping jaw 220 can move toward or away from each other, so that the first clamping jaw 130 and the second clamping jaw 220 can meet the needs of grabbing materials of different lengths, and the compatibility is effectively improved.

[0076] Referring to FIG. 1 , in some embodiments, the second connecting member 210 is slidably connected to the mounting member 300 along the first direction X, and the output end of the adjusting driving member 400 is connected to the second connecting member 210 .

[0077] Among them, the first connecting member 110 can be fixedly assembled with the mounting member 300 by fastener connection, threaded connection, welding, etc.; or, the first connecting member 110 can also form a sliding connection with the mounting member 300 in a direction intersecting with the first direction through a slide groove, a slide rail, a slider, etc.

[0078] The second connecting member 210 is slidably connected to the mounting member 300. Optionally, the second connecting member 210 can be slidably engaged with the mounting member 300; or the second connecting member 210 can be provided with a slider and slide on the mounting member 300 via the slider. Furthermore, the second connecting member 210 is slidably connected to the mounting member 300 along the first direction X, so that the adjustment drive member 400 can drive the second connecting member 210 to move along the first direction X on the mounting member 300.

[0079] The first connecting member 110 is fixed to the mounting member 300, and thus the first clamping jaw 130 is also fixed relative to the mounting member 300; in the process of clamping the material, the second connecting member 210 is driven to move by the adjusting driving member 400, so that the second clamping jaw 220 on the second connecting member 210 moves along the first direction X and toward the first clamping jaw 130, so that the material can be pushed onto the first clamping jaw 130 by the second clamping jaw 220, and the first clamping jaw 130 and the second clamping jaw 220 work together to clamp the material.

[0080] In this arrangement, the adjusting drive member 400 is used to drive the second connecting member 210 to slide along the first direction X, so that the second clamping jaw 220 on the second connecting member 210 moves toward or away from the first clamping jaw 130, thereby adjusting the distance between the first clamping jaw 130 and the second clamping jaw 220. The first clamping jaw 130 and the second clamping jaw 220 can clamp a variety of materials of different lengths, effectively improving the compatibility range of the first clamping jaw 130 and the second clamping jaw 220 for clamping materials.

The first clamping jaw 130 is rotatably connected to the second connecting structure 112; the first clamping assembly 100 also includes a first clamping driving member 140. The first clamping driving member 140 is connected to the second connecting structure 112 and is used to drive the second connecting structure 112 to move along the first direction X.

[0082] The first connection structure 111 includes but is not limited to structural parts such as a connection block, a connection plate, a connection rod, and a connection bracket; the number of the first connection structure 111 can be one or more than one.

[0083] The second connection structure 112 includes but is not limited to connection blocks, connection plates, connection rods, connection brackets and other structural parts; the number of the second connection structures 112 can be one or more.

[0084] The second connecting structure 112 is slidably connected to the first connecting structure 111. Optionally, the second connecting structure 112 can be directly contacted and connected to the first connecting structure 111 and slidably matched; or, the second connecting structure 112 and the first connecting structure 111 can be slidably connected through auxiliary sliding structures such as slide rails and sliders.

[0085] The first clamping driving member 140 can be, but is not limited to, a driving structure such as a driving cylinder or a driving hydraulic cylinder.

[0086] The first clamping drive member 140 can be installed on the first connecting structure 111 through a fastener, and the output end of the first clamping drive member 140 is connected to the second connecting structure 112; thus, the first clamping drive member 140 can drive the second connecting structure 112 to slide along the first direction X relative to the first connecting structure 111.

[0087] Alternatively, the first clamping drive member 140 can be installed on the second connecting structure 112 by a fastener, and the output end of the first clamping drive member 140 is connected to the first connecting structure 111; thus, the first clamping drive member 140 can drive the second connecting structure 112 to slide along the first direction X relative to the first connecting structure 111.

[0088] In this arrangement, the first clamping drive member 140 is used to drive the second connecting structure 112 to move relative to the first connecting structure 111 and along the first direction X, so that the first clamping jaw 130 moves synchronously along the first direction X. Therefore, on the basis of adjusting the distance between the first clamping jaw 130 and the second clamping jaw 220 by the adjusting drive member 400 to clamp the material, the first clamping drive member 140 can drive the second connecting structure 112 to slide relative to the first connecting structure 111 along the first direction X, so that the first clamping jaw 130 connected to the second connecting structure 112 further applies a resisting force to the material, which can effectively improve the clamping stability of the first clamping jaw 130 and the second clamping jaw 220 on the material, thereby improving the stability of the flipping process.

[0089] Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , in some embodiments, the first connecting member 110 further includes a first sliding structure 113 , and the first connecting structure 111 and the second connecting structure 112 are connected via the first sliding structure 113 .

[0090] The first sliding structure 113 includes, but is not limited to, structures for guiding sliding, such as sliders, guide rails, and slide grooves; the number of first sliding structures 113 can be one or more. For example, in some specific embodiments, the first sliding structure 113 includes a guide rail and a slider that slidably cooperate with each other. The guide rail is arranged along the first direction X on either the first connecting structure 111 or the second connecting structure 112, for example, on the second connecting structure 112, so that the slider is fixedly mounted on the first connecting structure 111; by slidably connecting the slider to the guide rail, the first clamping drive 140 can drive the second connecting structure 112 to achieve guided movement through the relative sliding of the guide rail and the slider.

[0091] With this arrangement, the first clamping drive member 140 can drive the second connecting structure 112 to slide on the first connecting structure 111 through the first sliding structure 113, thereby effectively improving the sliding stability of the second connecting structure 112 and further improving the stability of the first clamping jaw 130 in holding and clamping the material.

[0092] Please refer to Figures 1, 2 and 4. In some embodiments, the second connecting member 210 includes a third connecting structure 211 and a fourth connecting structure 212. The third connecting structure 211 is fixedly connected to the mounting member 300, and the fourth connecting structure 212 is slidingly connected to the third connecting structure 211 along the first direction X. The second clamping jaw 220 is rotatably connected to the fourth connecting structure 212; the second clamping assembly 200 also includes a second clamping drive member 230, which is connected to the fourth connecting structure 212 and is used to drive the fourth connecting structure 212 to move along the first direction X.

[0093] The third connection structure 211 includes but is not limited to structural parts such as a connection block, a connection plate, a connection rod, and a connection bracket; the number of the third connection structure 211 can be one or more.

[0094] The fourth connection structure 212 includes but is not limited to structural parts such as a connection block, a connection plate, a connection rod, and a connection bracket; the number of the fourth connection structure 212 can be one or more.

[0095] The fourth connecting structure 212 is slidably connected to the third connecting structure 211. Optionally, the fourth connecting structure 212 can be directly contacted and connected to the third connecting structure 211 and slide together; or, the fourth connecting structure 212 and the third connecting structure 211 can be slidably connected through auxiliary sliding structures such as slide rails and sliders.

[0096] The second clamping driving member 230 can be, but is not limited to, a driving structure such as a driving cylinder or a driving hydraulic cylinder.

[0097] The second clamping drive member 230 can be installed on the third connecting structure 211 through a fastener, and the output end of the second clamping drive member 230 is connected to the fourth connecting structure 212; thus, the second clamping drive member 230 can drive the fourth connecting structure 212 to slide along the first direction X relative to the third connecting structure 211.

[0098] Alternatively, the second clamping drive member 230 can be installed on the fourth connecting structure 212 by a fastener, and the output end of the second clamping drive member 230 is connected to the third connecting structure 211; thereby, the second clamping drive member 230 can drive the fourth connecting structure 212 to slide along the first direction X relative to the third connecting structure 211.

[0099] In this arrangement, the second clamping drive member 230 is used to drive the fourth connecting structure 212 to move relative to the third connecting structure 211 and along the first direction X, so that the second clamping jaw 220 moves synchronously along the first direction X. Therefore, on the basis of adjusting the distance between the first clamping jaw 130 and the second clamping jaw 220 by the adjusting drive member 400 to clamp the material, the second clamping drive member 230 can drive the fourth connecting structure 212 to slide relative to the third connecting structure 211 along the first direction X, so that the second clamping jaw 220 connected to the fourth connecting structure 212 further applies a resisting force to the material, which can effectively improve the clamping stability of the first clamping jaw 130 and the second clamping jaw 220 on the material, thereby improving the stability of the flipping process.

[0100] It should be understood that by the first clamping drive 140 driving the second connecting structure 112 to move in the first direction X, and cooperating with the second clamping drive 230 to drive the fourth connecting structure 212 to move in the first direction X, the first clamping drive 140 and the second clamping drive 230 can respectively drive the second connecting structure 112 and the fourth connecting structure 212 to move toward each other, so that the first clamping jaw 130 and the second clamping jaw 220 can move toward each other synchronously and clamp the material; thus, the adjusting drive 400 adjusts the position of the first connecting member 110 and / or the second connecting member 210 in the first direction X, and can only adjust the gap range between the first clamping jaw 130 and the second clamping jaw 220 so that it can have sufficient spacing to accommodate the material, and the clamping operation of the material can be carried out through the cooperation of the first clamping drive 140 and the second clamping drive 230.

[0101] Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 , in some embodiments, the second connecting member 210 further includes a second sliding structure 213 , and the third connecting structure 211 and the fourth connecting structure 212 are connected via the second sliding structure 213 .

[0102] The second sliding structure 213 includes, but is not limited to, a slider, a guide rail, a slide groove, and other structures for guiding sliding. The number of the second sliding structures 213 can be one or more. For example, in some specific embodiments, the second sliding structure 213 includes a guide rail and a slider that slidably cooperate with each other. The guide rail is arranged along the first direction X on either the third connecting structure 211 or the fourth connecting structure 212, for example, on the third connecting structure 211, while the slider is fixedly mounted on the fourth connecting structure 212. By slidably connecting the slider to the guide rail, the second clamping drive 230 can drive the fourth connecting structure 212 to achieve guided movement through the relative sliding of the guide rail and the slider.

[0103] With this arrangement, the second clamping drive member 230 can drive the fourth connecting structure 212 to slide on the third connecting structure 211 through the second sliding structure 213, thereby effectively improving the sliding stability of the fourth connecting structure 212 and further improving the stability of the second clamping jaw 220 in holding and clamping the material.

[0104] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , in some embodiments, the first clamping jaw 130 is detachably connected to the first connecting member 110 , and / or the second clamping jaw 220 is detachably connected to the second connecting member 210 .

[0105] Optionally, the first clamping jaw 130 can be connected to the first connecting member 110 by a fastener (such as a bolt, a screw, etc.), and the first clamping jaw 130 can be removed from the first connecting member 110 by removing the fastener; or, the first clamping jaw 130 can also be detachably connected to the first connecting member 110 by means of a clamping connection, a flange connection, etc.

[0106] The first connecting member 110 may be provided with a portion that can freely rotate around the first direction X, and the first clamping jaw 130 may be detachably connected to the portion; or, the first connecting member 110 may be connected to a rotating member (such as a rotating block, a rotating plate, etc.) that can freely rotate around the first direction X, and the first clamping jaw 130 may be detachably connected to the rotating member.

[0107] The second clamping jaw 220 can be connected to the second connecting member 210 by fasteners (such as bolts, screws, etc.), and the second clamping jaw 220 can be removed from the second connecting member 210 by removing the fasteners; alternatively, the second clamping jaw 220 can also be detachably connected to the second connecting member 210 by means of clamping, flange connection, etc.

[0108] The second connecting member 210 may be provided with a portion that can freely rotate around the first direction X, and the second clamping jaw 220 may be detachably connected to the portion; or, the second connecting member 210 may be connected to a rotating member (such as a rotating block, a rotating plate, etc.) that can freely rotate around the first direction X, and the second clamping jaw 220 may be detachably connected to the rotating member.

[0109] With such a configuration, the first clamping jaw 130 and the second clamping jaw 220 can be disassembled and replaced to meet the gripping requirements of materials of different specifications, further improving the compatibility of the turning device 1000.

[0110] For example, in some specific embodiments, a rotating structure, such as a rotating block, a rotating plate, etc., can be rotatably connected to the first connecting member 110, and then the first clamp 130 can be installed on the rotating structure by screws, and the rotating structure can be driven to rotate by flipping the driving member 120 to drive the first clamp 130 to rotate synchronously; when the first clamp 130 needs to be disassembled and replaced, the first clamp 130 can be removed from the rotating structure by simply removing the screws; similarly, another rotating structure can be rotatably connected to the second connecting member 210, and the second clamp 220 can be installed on the rotating structure by screws.

[0111] 1 and 2 , in some embodiments, the second clamping assembly 200 further includes a limiting structure 240 , which is used to lock the second clamping jaw 220 to limit rotation.

[0112] It can be understood that the limiting structure 240 is used to lock the second clamping jaw 220, so that when the second clamping jaw 220 is not clamping the material, the rotation of the second clamping jaw 220 can be limited, reducing the probability that the second clamping jaw 220 cannot cooperate with the first clamping jaw 130 to clamp the material due to deflection.

[0113] Optionally, the limiting structure 240 may include a plug-in structure, which is plugged into the second clamping jaw 220 via the plug-in structure, so that the second clamping jaw 220 cannot continue to rotate; or, the limiting structure 240 may include a fixing structure for connecting to the second clamping jaw 220, for example, it can be fixed to the second clamping jaw 220 by snapping, screwing, etc., so that the second clamping jaw 220 cannot continue to rotate; or, the limiting structure 240 may include a sleeve structure, and the sleeve result can be sleeved on the second clamping jaw 220, so that the second clamping jaw 220 cannot continue to rotate.

[0114] With such a configuration, the limiting structure 240 can lock the second jaw 220. When the second jaw 220 does not grasp the material, the second jaw 220 will not rotate freely, thereby reducing the probability that the second jaw 220 cannot accurately grasp the material due to rotation; and after the clamping operation is completed, the limiting structure 240 can unlock the second jaw 220, so that the flip driving member 120 can drive the first jaw 130 and drive the material and the second jaw 220 to rotate synchronously.

[0115] Please refer to Figures 1, 2 and 4. In some embodiments, a limiting hole (not shown in the figures) is formed on the second clamping jaw 220, and the limiting structure 240 includes a limiting driving member 241 and a limiting pin (not shown in the figures). The limiting driving member 241 is fixed on the second connecting member 210, and the output end of the limiting driving member 241 is connected to the limiting pin. The limiting driving member 241 is used to drive the limiting pin to be inserted into the limiting hole.

[0116] The limit drive 241 includes, but is not limited to, a component capable of driving telescopic movement, such as a drive cylinder or a drive hydraulic cylinder. The limit drive 241 can be mounted on the second connecting member 210 by means of a snap connection, fastening with a fastener, or the like. The output end of the limit drive 241 is connected to a limit latch, whereby the limit drive 241 can drive the limit latch to move and insert into the limit hole of the second clamping jaw 220 to lock the second clamping jaw 220, or the limit drive 241 can drive the limit latch to move out of the limit hole to unlock the second clamping jaw 220.

[0117] The above-mentioned limiting hole is a socket structure opened on the second clamping jaw 220. By inserting the limiting pin into the limiting hole, when the second clamping jaw 220 has a tendency to rotate, the inner wall of the limiting hole will form abutment with the limiting pin. The limiting pin can limit the movement of the inner wall of the limiting hole, thereby realizing the limiting locking of the second clamping jaw 220.

[0118] With this arrangement, the limit drive 241 can drive the limit pin to extend into the limit hole, thereby restricting the second clamping jaw 220 from rotating; or, the limit drive 241 can drive the limit pin to move out of the limit hole, thereby enabling the second clamping jaw 220 to rotate.

[0119] Please refer to Figure 1. In some embodiments, the adjustment drive member 400 includes a rotation drive structure 410 and a ball screw 420. The ball screw 420 is arranged on the mounting member 300, and the output end of the rotation drive structure 410 is connected to the ball screw 420; the ball screw 420 is connected to the first connecting member 110 and / or the second connecting member 210, and the rotation drive structure 410 drives the first connecting member 110 and / or the second connecting member 210 to move along the first direction X through the ball screw 420.

[0120] The rotation driving structure 410 is used to provide a rotation driving force, and the rotation driving structure 410 includes but is not limited to driving parts such as a reduction motor and a stepping motor.

[0121] The ball screw 420 includes a screw and a nut screwed on the screw. The screw can be installed on the mounting member 300, and the axial direction of the screw is arranged along the first direction X; the output end of the rotation drive structure 410 is connected to the screw of the ball screw 420, and the nut is connected to the first connecting member 110 and / or the second connecting member 210; thus, the screw is driven to rotate by the rotation drive structure 410, so that the nut can move along the axial direction of the screw.

[0122] For example, in some specific embodiments, the nut of the ball screw 420 can be connected to the second connecting member 210, whereby the rotation drive structure 410 can drive the screw to rotate, so that the nut can move along the first direction X and drive the second connecting member 210, so that the second clamping jaw 220 provided on the second connecting member 210 can move along the first direction X toward or away from the first clamping jaw 130.

[0123] Alternatively, in some other specific embodiments, the number of adjusting drive members 400 is two, wherein the nut of the ball screw 420 of one adjusting drive member 400 is connected to the first connecting member 110, and the nut of the ball screw 420 of the other adjusting drive member 400 is connected to the second connecting member 210; thus, the two adjusting drive members 400 respectively drive the corresponding ball screws 420 through their rotating drive structures 410 to control the first connecting member 110 and the second connecting member 210 to move respectively along the first direction X, thereby realizing the movement control of the first jaw 130 and the second jaw 220, so as to achieve the purpose of using the first jaw 130 and the second jaw 220 to grasp materials of different lengths.

[0124] In this arrangement, the ball screw 420 is driven to rotate by a rotating driving member, so that the first connecting member 110 and / or the second connecting member 210 connected to the ball screw 420 can move along the first direction X to achieve the purpose of adjusting the distance between the first clamping jaw 130 on the first connecting member 110 and the second clamping jaw 220 on the second connecting member 210.

[0125] Referring to FIG. 1 , in some embodiments, the first clamping assembly 100 further includes a right-angle reducer 150 , and the flip driving member 120 is connected to the first clamping jaw 130 via the right-angle reducer 150 .

[0126] The right-angle speed reducer 150 is used to reduce the rotation speed of the output end of the flip driving member 120 and change the rotation direction of the output end of the flip driving member 120 to a vertical direction for output.

[0127] In this configuration, the right-angle speed reducer 150 is used to connect the flip driving member 120 and the first clamping jaw 130, so that the assembly position of the flip driving member 120 is changed, thereby enabling the flip driving member 120 to play an avoidance role.

[0128] Please refer to Figures 1 and 5. In some embodiments, the flip device 1000 further includes a support member 500 and a lifting drive member 600. The lifting drive member 600 is fixed on the support member 500, and the output end of the lifting drive member 600 is connected to the mounting member 300.

[0129] The lifting drive member 600 is used to drive the mounting member 300 to move up and down so that the first clamping jaw 130 in the first clamping assembly 100 and the second clamping jaw 220 in the second clamping assembly 200 provided on the mounting member 300 can move up and down to the side of the material and clamp the material.

[0130] Alternatively, the lifting drive member 600 may be a lifting cylinder or a lifting hydraulic cylinder drive structure; the number of lifting drive members 600 may be one or more. It should be understood that the output end of the lifting drive member 600 may be arranged downward in the direction of gravity and connected to the mounting member 300. Thus, the lifting drive member 600 can drive the mounting member 300 and move downward in the direction of gravity, thereby grabbing the material being transported downward in the direction of gravity of the turning device 1000 for turning.

[0131] The lifting drive member 600 is fixedly mounted on the support member 500 , for example, it can be fixedly assembled by fasteners, or fixedly mounted by a connecting structure such as a flange.

[0132] The above-mentioned support member 500 is used to support and install the lifting drive member 600. The support member 500 includes but is not limited to support structures such as a support plate, a support block, a support truss, a support frame, and a support platform.

[0133] In this arrangement, by fixing the lifting drive member 600 on the support member 500 and connecting the mounting member 300 with the output end of the lifting drive member 600, the lifting drive member 600 can drive the mounting member 300 to move up and down, and then drive the first clamping jaw 130 and the second clamping jaw 220 to move up and down to grab the material for flipping.

[0134] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 5 , in some embodiments, a lifting guide structure 700 is provided on the support member 500 , and the lifting guide structure 700 is connected to the mounting member 300 .

[0135] It can be understood that the lifting guide structure 700 is used to perform lifting and guiding operations on the installation member 300 to improve the lifting stability of the installation member 300.

[0136] Optionally, the lifting guide structure 700 may be a guide structure such as a guide block, a guide rail, or a guide cylinder; the number of the lifting guide structures 700 may be one or any number of more than one.

[0137] With such a configuration, a lifting guide structure 700 can be set on the support member 500, and the lifting guide structure 700 is used to connect the mounting member 300 and guide the lifting process of the mounting member 300, thereby effectively improving the stability of the lifting process of the mounting member 300, and thereby improving the stability of grabbing the material.

[0138] Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 5 . In some embodiments, the lifting guide structure 700 includes a guide cylinder 710 . The guide cylinder 710 is fixed to the support member 500 . The piston of the guide cylinder 710 is connected to the mounting member 300 .

[0139] The guide cylinder 710 guides the lifting and lowering movement of the mounting member 300 through the reciprocating linear motion of its piston; the guide cylinder 710 can be fixedly mounted on the support member 500 by fasteners, or mounted on the support member 500 by a connecting structure such as a flange.

[0140] The number of the guide cylinders 710 may be one or more than one; for example, the number of the guide cylinders 710 may be two, and the two cylinders are arranged on the peripheral side of the lifting drive member 600 and are symmetrical about the lifting drive member 600.

[0141] With such an arrangement, the piston of the guide cylinder 710 can be connected to the mounting member 300 to achieve the guiding and buffering movement of the mounting member 300 .

[0142] Please refer to Figures 1 and 5. In some embodiments, the lifting guide structure 700 includes a first guide portion 720 and a second guide portion 730 that are slidably matched. The first guide portion 720 is connected to the support member 500, and the second guide portion 730 is connected to the mounting member 300.

[0143] It can be understood that the first guide portion 720 and the second guide portion 730 are slidably matched with each other, and the first guide portion 720 can be a slider, then the second guide portion 730 can be a guide rail, and the slider can slide on the guide rail; or, the first guide portion 720 can be a slide rail, then the second guide portion 730 can be a slider; or, the first guide portion 720 can be a guide groove structure provided on the support member 500, then the second guide portion 730 can be a slider structure slidably provided in the guide groove structure; or, the second guide portion 730 can be a guide groove structure provided on the support member 500, then the first guide portion 720 can be a slider structure slidably provided in the guide groove structure.

[0144] The number of the first guide portion 720 and the second guide portion 730 may be one or any number of more than one.

[0145] In this arrangement, by utilizing the sliding cooperation of the first guide part 720 and the second guide part 730, when the lifting drive part 600 drives the mounting part 300 to move up and down, the first guide part 720 can guide the lifting process of the mounting part 300 through the sliding cooperation with the second guide part 730, thereby effectively improving the stability of the lifting process of the mounting part 300.

[0146] For example, in some specific embodiments, the number of the first guide parts 720 and the second guide parts 730 are both four, and the four first guide parts 720 and the second guide parts 730 are evenly distributed around the outer edge of the support member 500; the first guide part 720 can be a slider, and the second guide part 730 can be a guide rail. The slider can be fixedly installed on the support member 500, and the slider is slidably assembled on the guide rail, and the guide rail is connected to the mounting member 300; thus, in the process of the lifting drive member 600 driving the mounting member 300 to move up and down, relative sliding will occur between the guide rail and the slider, thereby guiding the lifting process of the mounting member 300.

[0147] Hereinafter, a battery module is taken as an example, and the flipping device 1000 is used to grip the battery module for flipping detection to illustrate one specific embodiment of the flipping device 1000 .

[0148] In this embodiment, the flipping device 1000 includes a support member 500, a lifting drive member 600 fixedly mounted on the support member 500, a guide cylinder 710 and a first guide portion 720, and includes a mounting member 300, a second guide portion 730 arranged on the mounting member 300, a first clamping assembly 100, a second clamping assembly 200 and an adjusting drive member 400.

[0149] The support member 500 can adopt a support frame, and the mounting member 300 can adopt a mounting plate; the lifting drive member 600 can adopt a lifting cylinder, the first guide part 720 can be a slider, the second guide part 730 can be a slide rail, and the adjustment drive member 400 can include a rotation drive structure 410 and a ball screw 420.

[0150] The lifting cylinder can drive the mounting plate to move up and down through its piston, and during the lifting process, the guide cylinder 710 can guide and buffer the mounting plate. The sliding cooperation of the slider and the slide rail can also synchronously guide the lifting and lowering movement of the mounting plate, effectively improving the movement stability of the mounting plate and the first clamping assembly 100 and the second clamping assembly 200.

[0151] The first clamping assembly 100 includes a first connecting member 110, a flip driving member 120, a first clamping jaw 130, and a first clamping driving member 140. The first connecting member 110 includes a first connecting structure 111 and a second connecting structure 112. The first connecting structure 111 can be fixedly mounted on a mounting plate via fasteners, and the second connecting structure 112 is slidably connected to the first connecting structure 111. The first clamping driving member 140 is connected to the second connecting structure 112 and can drive the second connecting structure 112 to move along a first direction X. The first clamping jaw 130 is rotationally connected to the second connecting structure 112 and can freely rotate about the first direction X. The output end of the flip driving member 120 is connected to the first clamping jaw 130 and can drive the first clamping jaw 130 to rotate.

[0152] The second clamping assembly 200 includes a second connecting member 210, a second clamping jaw 220, a second clamping drive member 230 and a limiting structure 240, wherein the second connecting member 210 includes a third connecting structure 211 and a fourth connecting structure 212, and the third connecting structure 211 can be connected to the output end of the ball screw 420, thereby, the rotating drive structure 410 can drive the third connecting structure 211 to move along the first direction X through the ball screw 420; the fourth connecting structure 212 is slidingly connected to the third connecting structure 211, and the second clamping drive member 230 is connected to the fourth connecting structure 212 and can drive the fourth connecting structure 212 to move along the first direction X. The second clamping jaw 220 is rotatably connected to the fourth connecting structure 212 and can rotate freely around the first direction X; the limiting structure 240 includes a limiting driving member 241 and a limiting pin, and the limiting driving member 241 can drive the limiting pin to be inserted into the limiting hole formed on the second clamping jaw 220, and lock the second clamping jaw 220 to limit its rotation.

[0153] The working process of the flipping device 1000 is as follows: when the battery module is not clamped, the limit driving member 241 drives the limit pin to remain inserted in the limit hole, so that the second clamping jaw 220 remains in a locked state; according to the length specification of the battery module to be clamped, the rotation driving structure 410 drives the third connecting structure 211 to move along the first direction X through the ball screw 420, so that the distance between the second clamping jaw 220 and the first clamping jaw 130 is adjusted to a preset position; the lifting cylinder drives the mounting plate to move the battery module below the direction of gravity. The first clamping member 130 and the second clamping member 220 are moved synchronously to opposite sides of the battery module in the first direction X. The first clamping driver 140 drives the second connecting structure 112 to move along the first direction X, so that the first clamping member 130 moves toward the battery module. At the same time, the second clamping driver 230 drives the fourth connecting structure 212 to move along the first direction X, so that the second clamping member 220 moves toward the battery module. The first clamping member 130 and the second clamping member 220 can move to clamp the battery module, thereby achieving the purpose of clamping the battery module. After the clamping is completed, the limit driver 241 drives the limit pin to move out of the limit socket. At the same time, the lifting cylinder can drive the mounting plate to lift the battery module, so that the battery module is synchronously lifted to a preset height. Then, the flip driver 120 drives the first clamping member 130 to rotate, so that the battery module and the second clamping member 220 rotate synchronously, thereby achieving flip detection of the battery module.
