[0021] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 This application is described in further detail.
[0022] The embodiment of the present application discloses a battery string flipping device.
[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The battery string flipping device includes a mounting frame 1, and a plurality of reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting frame 1. The reinforcing ribs enhance the structural rigidity of the mounting frame 1 and improve the stability of the mounting frame 1. A first conveyor 22 and a second conveyor 23 are installed on the mounting frame 1. A placement table 24 is installed between the first conveyor 22 and the second conveyor 23. The battery strings that have not been observed are placed on the first conveyor 22 after the previous process. At this time, the battery strings on the first conveyor 22 are placed with the reverse side facing upward; the battery strings that have no defects after observation are placed on the second conveyor 23. At this time, the battery strings on the second conveyor 23 are placed with the reverse side facing upward and transported to the next process; the battery strings that have defects after observation are placed on the placement table 24. In the embodiment of the present application, the first conveyor 22 and the second conveyor 23 are both belt conveyors.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The battery string conveyed to the first conveyor 22 through the previous process is initially placed with the front side facing upwards. The battery string placed with the front side facing upwards needs to be turned over to be placed with the back side facing upwards before subsequent observation.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 A bracket 25 is mounted on the mounting frame 1, and a third drive motor 26 is mounted on the bracket 25. A screw 27 is connected to the output end of the third drive motor 26. The screw 27 is rotatably connected to the bracket 25. A nut matching the size of the screw 27 is threadedly connected to the outer edge of the screw 27, and a sliding plate 28 is bolted to the nut. In the embodiment of the present application, a third guide rail arranged parallel to the screw 27 is bolted to the surface of the bracket 25 facing the sliding plate 28. A third slider matching the size of the third guide rail is slidably connected to the third guide rail. The third slider is bolted to the sliding plate 28. The third guide rail limits the sliding direction of the third slider, thereby improving the stability of the sliding plate 28 along the bracket 25.
[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The sliding plate 28 is provided with a second flip frame 29, which is provided with a second suction unit 30 for sucking the battery string. The sliding plate 28 is provided with a flip unit for driving the second flip frame 29 to flip. The flip unit includes a second flip motor 31 provided on the sliding plate 28, and the second flip frame 29 is provided at the output end of the second flip motor 31. In the embodiment of the present application, both the first suction unit and the second suction unit 30 are Bernoulli suction cups.
[0027] Therefore, the third drive motor 26 is started to drive the screw rod 27 at the output end of the third drive motor 26 to rotate. The rotation of the screw rod 27 drives the nut on the screw rod 27 to move along the direction of the screw rod 27, thereby driving the sliding plate 28 and the second flip frame 29 to rise and fall synchronously. After the second adsorption unit 30 adsorbs the unobserved battery string, the second flip motor 31 is started to drive the second flip frame 29 at the output end of the second flip motor 31 to flip, thereby realizing the flipping of the unobserved battery string adsorbed by the second adsorption unit 30, and flipping the battery string placed front side up to be placed back side up.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mounting frame 1 is connected to the supporting frame 2, the supporting frame 2 is connected to the first flip frame 3, the first flip frame 3 is provided with a first adsorption unit 4 for adsorbing the battery string, the mounting frame 1 is provided with a moving unit for driving the supporting frame 2 to move, and the supporting frame 2 is provided with a flip unit for driving the first flip frame 3 to flip.
[0029] Therefore, when the battery string needs to be flipped for observation, the mobile unit is activated to move the support frame 2 above the battery string, the first suction unit 4 is activated to adsorb the battery string onto the first flip frame 3, and the flip unit is activated to flip the battery string on the first flip frame 3, thereby facilitating the operator to observe the front of the battery string. Utilizing the first suction unit 4, the mobile unit, and the flip unit reduces damage to the battery string during manual flipping for observation, saving labor costs, time, and effort, and improving battery string production efficiency.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The moving unit includes a horizontal component for driving the support frame 2 to move horizontally and a vertical component for driving the first flip frame 3 to move vertically. The horizontal component includes a first rack 5 arranged on the mounting frame 1, and a first drive motor 6 is installed on the support frame 2. The output end of the first drive motor 6 is provided with a first gear 7 that matches the size of the first rack 5, and the first gear 7 is engaged with the first rack 5.
[0031] Therefore, the first drive motor 6 is started to drive the first gear 7 at the output end of the first drive motor 6 to rotate. Since the first gear 7 is engaged with the first rack 5, the first gear 7 moves along the direction of the first rack 5, thereby realizing the horizontal movement of the support frame 2. While being more flexible, it is convenient to adjust the position of the support frame 2 according to the position of the battery string.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The mounting frame 1 is bolted with a first guide rail 8 arranged parallel to the first rack 5. The support frame 2 is equipped with a first slider matching the size of the first guide rail 8, and the first slider is slidably connected to the first guide rail 8. The top of the mounting frame 1 is bolted with two limit seats 21. The first guide rail 8 is located between the two limit seats 21, and the first guide rail 8 and the two limit seats 21 are located on the same straight line. Rubber anti-collision blocks can be respectively provided on the surfaces of the two limit seats 21 facing the first guide rail 8. The two limit seats 21 limit the movement range of the support frame 2, reducing the possibility of the support frame 2 detaching during movement in unexpected situations. At the same time, the anti-collision blocks act as shock absorbers and buffers, reducing the impact on the limit seats 21 when the support frame 2 contacts the limit seats 21. Therefore, the first guide rail 8 limits and guides the movement position of the first slider, reduces the possibility of the support frame 2 shifting during movement, and improves the stability of the support frame 2 during movement.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The vertical assembly includes a sliding frame 9 that is slidably connected to the support frame 2, a first flip frame 3 is set on the sliding frame 9, and a second drive motor 10 is installed on the mounting frame 1. The output end of the second drive motor 10 is installed with a dual-output shaft reducer 11. The two output ends of the dual-output shaft reducer 11 are respectively installed with connecting shafts 12. The ends of the two connecting shafts 12 facing away from the second drive motor 10 are respectively fixed with second gears 13. Two second racks 14 matching the size of the second gears 13 are bolted to the sliding frame 9. In the embodiment of the present application, the second racks 14 are vertically arranged, and the two second gears 13 are respectively engaged with the second racks 14. The two output ends of the dual-output shaft reducer 11 are used to achieve dual-point drive displacement of the sliding frame 9. Compared with the traditional method of single-point drive displacement from the center of a single output shaft of the reducer, this method helps to disperse and balance the force applied to the sliding frame 9, making the force applied to the sliding frame 9 more evenly, enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the sliding frame 9, and further improving the stability of the sliding frame 9 during movement.
[0034] Therefore, the second drive motor 10 is started to drive the connecting shafts 12 at the two output ends of the dual-output shaft reducer 11 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the two second gears 13 to rotate. Since the two second gears 13 are respectively engaged with the second rack 14, the sliding frame 9 is raised and lowered in the vertical direction, so that the vertical distance between the sliding frame 9 and the battery string can be adjusted, which is more flexible and facilitates the first adsorption unit 4 to perform adsorption operation on the battery string.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A second guide rail, parallel to the second rack 14, is mounted on the support frame 2. A second slider 15, sized to match the second guide rail, is mounted on the sliding frame 9. The second slider 15 is slidably connected to the second guide rail. Therefore, the second guide rail limits and guides the movement of the second slider 15, reducing the possibility of positional deviation during movement of the sliding frame 9 and improving the stability of the sliding frame 9 during movement.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The flip unit includes a first flip motor 16 mounted on the sliding frame 9. The output end of the first flip motor 16 is connected to the first flip frame 3 via a connecting assembly. The connecting assembly includes a first transmission wheel 17 mounted on the output end of the first flip motor 16. A flip shaft is mounted on the sliding frame 9. A second transmission wheel 18 is fixedly mounted on the flip shaft. A transmission belt 19 is tightly wound between the first and second transmission wheels 17, 18. A cover 20 is bolted to the sliding frame 9. The first and second transmission wheels 17, 18 are located within the cover 20. The cover 20 provides protection, reducing the possibility of external impurities entering and affecting the normal operation of the first and second transmission wheels 17, 18.
[0037] Therefore, the first flip motor 16 is started, driving the first transmission wheel 17 at the output end of the first flip motor 16 to rotate, so that the second transmission wheel 18 and the transmission belt 19 rotate synchronously. The second transmission wheel 18 drives the flip shaft to rotate during the rotation process, thereby realizing the flipping of the first flip frame 3, and flipping the battery string adsorbed on the first flip frame 3 by 90 degrees. The battery string is flipped from a horizontal placement to a vertical placement, which is convenient for the operator to observe the front of the battery string.
[0038] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when it is necessary to flip the battery string for observation, the first drive motor 6 is started to drive the first gear 7 at the output end of the first drive motor 6 to rotate. Since the first gear 7 is engaged with the first rack 5, the first gear 7 moves in the direction of the first rack 5, and the support frame 2 is moved to just above the first conveyor 22; the second drive motor 10 is started to drive the connecting shafts 12 at the two output ends of the dual-output shaft reducer 11 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the two second gears 13 to rotate. Since the two second gears 13 are respectively engaged with the second rack 14, the sliding frame 9 is lifted and lowered in the vertical direction of the support frame 2; the first adsorption unit 4 is started to adsorb the battery string placed with the reverse side facing up onto the first flip frame 3;
[0039] The first flip motor 16 is started, driving the first transmission wheel 17 at the output end of the first flip motor 16 to rotate, causing the second transmission wheel 18 and the transmission belt 19 to rotate synchronously. During the rotation process, the second transmission wheel 18 drives the flip shaft to rotate, thereby achieving the flipping of the first flip frame 3. The battery string adsorbed on the first flip frame 3 is flipped 90 degrees, and the battery string is flipped from a horizontal position to a vertical position, making it easier for operators to observe the front of the battery string. After inspection, the defect-free battery string is placed with the reverse side facing up on the second conveyor 23 and transported to the next process. The defective battery string after inspection is placed on the placement table 24. The use of the first adsorption unit 4, the moving unit, and the flip unit reduces damage to the battery string during manual flipping for inspection, saving labor costs, time and effort, and improving the production efficiency of the battery string.
