图1示出了本发明电芯配组装置的一个优选实施例，如图1和所示，该电芯配组装置包括：抓取机构1、配组循环平台、配组机构6和至少一个第一载具；配组循环平台包括框体和由框体包围形成的用于放置第一载具4的循环区域；第一载具4用于承接电芯来料区域的电芯；抓取机构1设置在配组循环平台靠近电芯来料区域的一侧，且抓取机构1用于将电芯来料区域处的电芯抓取至第一载具内；配组机构6设置在配组循环平台靠近电芯来料区域的另一侧，且配组机构6用于对第一载具4内的电芯进行配组。FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the battery cell grouping device of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 1, the battery cell grouping device includes: a grasping mechanism 1, a grouping circulation platform, a grouping mechanism 6 and at least one The first carrier; the matching circulation platform includes a frame body and a circulation area formed by the frame body for placing the first carrier 4; the first carrier 4 is used to receive the battery core of the battery core incoming area; The mechanism 1 is arranged on the side of the grouping circulation platform close to the incoming area of the electric core, and the grasping mechanism 1 is used to grasp the electric core at the incoming area of the electric core into the first carrier; The grouping circulation platform is close to the other side of the incoming region of the battery cell, and the grouping mechanism 6 is used to group the battery cells in the first carrier 4.

具体地，例如，配组循环平台的框体为由可调节长度的四个框架构成的长方体，则该框体的内部区域为循环区域；例如，该循环区域内放置有一个、两个或多个第一载具等。且在配组循环平台靠近电芯来料区域的一侧设置抓取机构1，即抓取机构1用于将从电芯来料区域内抓取的电芯放置在第一载具4内。以及，在配组循环平台靠近电芯来料区域的另一侧设置配组机构6，例如，配组机构6的动作端与抓取机构1的动作端从左至右依次设置；例如，配组机构6设置在配组循环平台的长边侧，抓取机构1设置在配组循环平台的短边侧。Specifically, for example, if the frame of the circulating platform is a rectangular parallelepiped composed of four frames with adjustable lengths, the internal area of the frame is the circulating area; for example, one, two or more First vehicle etc. Moreover, a grasping mechanism 1 is provided on the side of the grouping circulation platform close to the incoming area of the electric core, that is, the grasping mechanism 1 is used to place the electric core grabbed from the incoming area of the electric core in the first carrier 4. And, a grouping mechanism 6 is provided on the other side of the grouping circulation platform close to the incoming area of the cell. For example, the operating end of the grouping mechanism 6 and the operating end of the grasping mechanism 1 are sequentially arranged from left to right; for example, The grouping mechanism 6 is arranged on the long side of the grouping circulation platform, and the gripping mechanism 1 is arranged on the short side of the grouping circulation platform.

则抓取机构1将电芯从电芯来料区域抓取至第一载具4内之后，配组机构6会对放置在第一载具4内的电芯进行配组，例如，抓取机构1放置在第一载具4内的电芯数量为6横排16竖排，即第一载具4内电芯的数量为6×16＝96支；若配组需要的电池包内电芯的数量为6横排12竖排，即配组需要的电芯数量为6×12＝72支，则配组机构6将第一载具4内的4竖排电芯取出，即配组机构6将第一载具4内的6×4＝24支电芯取出。如此重复来完成电芯的配组；当然，配组机构6还可根据配组的需要，改变从第一载具4内抓取的电芯数量，来适应不同的配组需求。Then, after the grasping mechanism 1 grabs the battery cells from the battery incoming area into the first carrier 4, the grouping mechanism 6 will group the batteries placed in the first carrier 4, for example, grabbing The number of batteries placed by the mechanism 1 in the first carrier 4 is 6 horizontal rows and 16 vertical rows, that is, the number of batteries in the first carrier 4 is 6 × 16 = 96; The number of cores is 6 horizontal rows and 12 vertical rows, that is, the number of batteries required for grouping is 6 × 12 = 72, then the grouping mechanism 6 takes out the 4 vertical rows of battery cells in the first carrier 4, that is, grouping The mechanism 6 takes out 6 × 4 = 24 cells in the first carrier 4. This is repeated to complete the assembly of the battery cells; of course, the grouping mechanism 6 can also change the number of battery cells grabbed from the first carrier 4 according to the needs of the grouping to adapt to different grouping requirements.

在本实施例中，通过在配组循环平台靠近电芯来料区域的附近设置抓取机构1和配组机构6；使得配组机构6可对抓取机构1放置在第一载具4内的电芯进行配组，进而提高电芯配组的效率。In this embodiment, by setting the grasping mechanism 1 and the grouping mechanism 6 in the vicinity of the grouping circulation platform close to the incoming area of the electric core; so that the grouping mechanism 6 can place the grasping mechanism 1 in the first carrier 4 The battery cells are grouped, thereby improving the efficiency of battery cell grouping.

进一步地，电芯配组装置，还包括：上料机构13；上料机构13设置在所述配组循环平台远离所述电芯来料区域的一侧，且上料机构13用于对第一载具内配组后的电芯进行上料。例如，循环区域的大小与两排五列第一载具4的大小一致，即循环区域共有十个循环位。例如，在循环区域内放置有两排第一载具4，第一排有四个依次排布的第一载具4，且第一排从左至右的第一个循环位为第一空位，第二排有四个依次排布的第一载具4，且第二排从左至右的最后一个循环位为第二空位。例如，第一排从左至右的最后一个循环位为上料位2，第二排从左至右的第二个循环位为下料位3，如图1所示。例如，循环区域内设有辊道，以使第一载具4在上料位2与下料位3之间循环运动。Further, the cell grouping device further includes: a feeding mechanism 13; the feeding mechanism 13 is disposed on a side of the grouping circulation platform away from the cell incoming area, and the feeding mechanism 13 is used to The batteries are loaded in a vehicle after grouping. For example, the size of the circulation area is the same as the size of the first carrier 4 in two rows and five columns, that is, the circulation area has ten circulation bits in total. For example, two rows of first carriers 4 are placed in the circulation area, the first row has four first carriers 4 arranged in sequence, and the first circulation position from left to right in the first row is the first empty position In the second row, there are four first carriers 4 arranged in sequence, and the last circulating position from left to right in the second row is the second empty position. For example, the last circulating position from left to right in the first row is the upper material level 2, and the second circulating position from left to right in the second row is the lower material level 3, as shown in FIG. 1. For example, a roller table is provided in the circulation area, so that the first carrier 4 circulates between the upper material level 2 and the lower material level 3.

例如，将上料机构13设置在下料位3远离所述电芯来料区域的一侧，则上料机构13与抓取机构1相对设置，即上料机构13位于配组循环平台内下料位3的短边侧所在的侧边，抓取机构1位于配组循环平台内上料位2的短边侧所在的侧边。例如，上料机构13为三轴机械手等，则当配组机构6将第一载具4内的电芯完成配组后，则第一载具4在辊道的输送下从上料位2运行至下料位3，并在下料位3处上料机构13将第一载具4内配组好的电芯进行上料，例如，上料机构13将第一载具4内配组好的电芯上料至电芯生产线上。另外，下料位3处空的第一载具4循环运行至上料位2处，继续用于放置抓取机构1从电芯来料区域内抓取的电芯。For example, if the loading mechanism 13 is set on the side of the lower material level 3 away from the incoming area of the cell, then the loading mechanism 13 is arranged opposite to the gripping mechanism 1, that is, the loading mechanism 13 is located in the matching circulation platform for discharging On the side where the short side of position 3 is located, the gripping mechanism 1 is located on the side where the short side of the upper material level 2 in the grouping circulation platform is located. For example, if the loading mechanism 13 is a three-axis manipulator, etc., after the grouping mechanism 6 completes the grouping of the cells in the first carrier 4, the first carrier 4 is transported from the loading level 2 under the conveyance of the roller table Run to the lower material level 3, and at the lower material level 3, the loading mechanism 13 loads the assembled batteries in the first carrier 4, for example, the loading mechanism 13 groups the first carrier 4 in The batteries are loaded onto the battery production line. In addition, the empty first carrier 4 at the lower material level 3 circulates to the upper material level 2 and continues to be used to place the battery cells grabbed by the grasping mechanism 1 from the battery core incoming area.

进一步地，电芯配组装置，还包括：至少一个第二载具5；第二载具5用于放置配组机构6从第一载具4内抓取的电芯。例如，配组机构6设在配组循环平台的长边侧，抓取机构1设在配组循环平台的短边侧，且配组机构6和抓取机构1均位于上料位2附近。例如，在配组循环平台的长边侧设置补料区域，且补料区域位于配组机构6远离上料位2的一侧；例如，将第二载具5放置在该补料区域内；例如，补料区域放置有两个第二载具5，例如，第二载具5与第一载具4平行布置。则在配组机构6对第一载具4内放置的电芯进行配组时，即配组机构6根据配组需求从第一载具4内抓取出一定数量的电芯，并将抓取出的电芯放置在第二载具5内；且放置在第二载具5内的电芯可以再次利用，例如，将放置在第二载具5内的电芯用于补料等。Further, the battery cell grouping device further includes: at least one second carrier 5; the second carrier 5 is used to place the battery cell grabbed by the grouping mechanism 6 from the first carrier 4. For example, the grouping mechanism 6 is located on the long side of the grouping circulation platform, the gripping mechanism 1 is located on the short side of the grouping circulation platform, and both the grouping mechanism 6 and the gripping mechanism 1 are located near the upper material level 2. For example, a replenishment area is provided on the long side of the grouping circulation platform, and the replenishment area is located on the side of the grouping mechanism 6 away from the upper material level 2; for example, the second carrier 5 is placed in the replenishment area; For example, two second carriers 5 are placed in the replenishment area, for example, the second carriers 5 are arranged in parallel with the first carrier 4. Then, when the grouping mechanism 6 groups the cells placed in the first carrier 4, the grouping mechanism 6 grabs a certain number of cells from the first carrier 4 according to the grouping requirements, and The removed battery cell is placed in the second carrier 5; and the battery cell placed in the second carrier 5 can be reused, for example, the battery cell placed in the second carrier 5 is used for replenishment.

进一步地，第二载具5的行数和列数均不大于第一载具4的行数和列数。即第一载具4的行数多于或等于与第二载具5的行数，以及第一载具4的列数多于或等于与第二载具5的列数。由于第一载具4用于放置抓取机构1从电芯来料区域抓取的电芯，为了能够满足不同配组的要求，第一载具4的行数和列数需要均设置的较大，以便根据需要设置不同行数和列数的电芯，例如，第一载具4的大小与抓取机构1从电芯来料区域抓取的电芯总数构成的规格一致。而第二载具5用于放置从第一载具4内抓取出的电芯，故第二载具5的规格可以小于或者等于第一载具4的规格；或者，根据配组的不同，在补料区域放置不同规格的第二载具5，例如，将第二载具5的大小与配组规格设为相同。例如，抓取机构1一次可以抓取10×16支电芯，则可将第一载具的规格设为6行16列；则可将其上的6×16支电芯放置在第一载具4内；若配组的需求为6×12，则配组机构6需要将第一载具4内的6×4支电芯抓取至第二载具5内；则可将第二载具5的规格设为6×4，或者将第二载具5的规格也设为6×12等。Further, the number of rows and columns of the second carrier 5 are not greater than the number of rows and columns of the first carrier 4. That is, the number of rows of the first carrier 4 is greater than or equal to the number of rows with the second carrier 5, and the number of columns of the first carrier 4 is greater than or equal to the number of columns with the second carrier 5. Since the first carrier 4 is used to place the cells captured by the gripping mechanism 1 from the cell incoming area, in order to meet the requirements of different sets, the number of rows and columns of the first carrier 4 need to be set relatively high. The size of the first carrier 4 is consistent with the specifications of the total number of cells grabbed by the grasping mechanism 1 from the cell incoming area. The second carrier 5 is used to place the battery cell grabbed from the first carrier 4, so the specification of the second carrier 5 may be less than or equal to the specification of the first carrier 4; or, according to the configuration The second carrier 5 of different specifications is placed in the replenishment area. For example, the size of the second carrier 5 and the specification of the group are set to be the same. For example, if the grasping mechanism 1 can grasp 10 × 16 cells at a time, the specification of the first carrier can be set to 6 rows and 16 columns; then the 6 × 16 cells on it can be placed on the first carrier Within the tool 4; if the matching requirement is 6 × 12, the matching mechanism 6 needs to grab the 6 × 4 cells in the first carrier 4 into the second carrier 5; The specification of the tool 5 is set to 6 × 4, or the specification of the second carrier 5 is also set to 6 × 12 or the like.
