Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery packaging technology, specifically to a box-loading device. Background Technology

[0002] As electric vehicles continue to evolve, the demand for battery packs is also increasing. Battery pack design is increasingly focused on lightweighting and simplification, optimizing traditional module solutions. This has led to greater assembly complexity and stricter requirements, especially regarding the quality of assembly, which directly impacts subsequent process control. Currently, module-less battery packs increase driving range by increasing the number of series connections. With fewer parallel connections and more series connections, different module arrangements are needed for single-pack systems to meet system requirements.

[0003] For moduleless battery packs, the modules must be installed into the enclosure strictly according to the design during loading, and stability must be maintained during transport. Any misalignment or instability leading to module detachment will halt the entire downstream process and could even pose safety hazards. This necessitates precise location locating and measurement during loading, as well as stable process control. The integrated nature of moduleless battery packs demands precision and stability in assembly. Any non-compliance essentially results in scrapping or safety risks, significantly wasting manpower, resources, and time. It also disrupts the production line's cycle time, causing substantial waste and failing to achieve cost control goals. Utility Model Content

[0028] according to Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a box-loading device, which includes a connecting cylinder 10. The connecting cylinder 10 has multiple clearance holes and mounting holes around its circumference for connection with equipment. The equipment is equipped with a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism includes a first driving component and a second driving component. The bottom of the connecting cylinder 10 is bolted to a mounting plate 11. Four guide posts 13 are symmetrically arranged in the middle of the mounting plate 11. The guide posts 13 pass through the mounting plate 11, with one end connected to a transition plate 12 located below the mounting plate 11. The other end of the guide posts 13 is connected to the first driving component, which drives the transition plate 12 to move up and down via the guide posts 13. A suction cup 121 is provided at the bottom of the transition plate 12. The lower surface of the suction cup 121 is made of foam material with multiple pores to facilitate suction force. The shape of the suction cup 121 matches the shape of the top of the module, ensuring that the suction cup 121 can completely adhere to the top of the module, improving the stability of the module transfer process.

[0029] The mounting plate 11 is rectangular, with both sides extending to the outside of the connecting cylinder 10. A bottom-supporting assembly is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting plate 11. The bottom-supporting assembly includes a first cylinder 21, a lifting plate 23, a connecting plate 24, a second cylinder 25, and a support plate 26. The first cylinder 21 is fixed to the side of the mounting plate 11. Two linear guide rails 231 are symmetrically arranged on the mounting plate 11. The two linear guide rails 231 are vertically arranged and connected to the lifting plate 23. The two linear guide rails 231 are respectively connected to both sides of the lifting plate 23. A push block 22 is provided on the other side of the lifting plate 23. The push block 22 is connected to the telescopic end of the first cylinder 21. The telescopic movement of the first cylinder 21 drives the lifting plate 23 to move up and down along the linear guide rails 231.

[0030] according to Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the lifting plate 23 is provided with a connecting plate 24. The connecting plate 24 is U-shaped. The lifting plate 23 is connected to one side of the connecting plate 24. The bottom center of the lifting plate 23 is provided with a through hole (not shown in the figure). The through hole allows the second cylinder 25 to pass through. The second cylinder 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 24. The bottom sides of the connecting plate 24 are symmetrically provided with slide rail pairs (not shown in the figure). The slide rail pairs are connected to one end of the support plate 26. The top of the support plate 26 is provided with a fixing block 27. The fixing block 27 is connected to the telescopic end of the second cylinder 25. The extension and retraction of the support plate 25 is driven by the extension and retraction of the second cylinder 25.

[0031] The lifting plate 23 has symmetrically arranged buffers 232 on both sides. The buffers 232 are fixed to the side of the linear guide rail 231. The upper part of the lifting plate 23 has symmetrically arranged protruding rods (not shown in the figure) on both sides. When the extension end of the first cylinder 21 extends downward, it drives the lifting plate 23 to move downward, which will cause the protruding rods to abut against the buffers 232. At this time, it can effectively buffer the movement of the lifting plate 23.

[0032] The second driving component has symmetrically arranged gripper assemblies on both sides of the adapter plate 12. The gripper assembly includes a connector 31, a fixing plate 32, a slider 33, and grippers 34. The connector 31 is located on the top of the fixing plate 32 and is connected to the second driving component. The bottom of the fixing plate 32 is provided with a slide rail, which is connected to the slider 33. Limiting blocks (not shown) are provided at both ends of the slide rail to prevent the slider 33 from sliding out of the slide rail. The second driving component controls the movement of the slider 33 through the connector 31. The side of the slider 33 is connected to the gripper 34 by bolts. The gripper 34 is L-shaped. The second driving component controls the symmetrically arranged slider 33 to move inward so that the gripper 34 abuts and fixes against the top two sides of the module, ensuring that the module and the suction cup 121 are in the same position.

[0033] A laser rangefinder 40 is provided on the side of the fixing plate 32. The laser rangefinder 40 is used to measure whether the height of the module after entering the box meets the requirements. If it does, it continues to flow down to the next process. If there is an abnormality, it is intercepted and judged in time to reduce the defect rate of the subsequent process.

[0034] The working principle of the box-filling device of this utility model is as follows: In the initial state, the connecting cylinder 10 is connected to the device, the first driving component is connected to the guide post 13, and the second driving component is placed on both sides of the adapter plate 12. The connecting cylinder 10 is moved above the module by the device. At this time, the second driving component controls the slider 33 to move inward, so that the gripper 34 abuts and fixes against the top two sides of the module, ensuring that the module and the suction cup 121 are in corresponding positions. At this time, the first driving component drives the guide post 13 to move downward, so that the suction cup 121 fits against the top of the module. The module can be attracted by the suction of the suction cup 121, and under the action of the device, it moves upward to a certain height.

[0035] At this time, under the action of the first cylinder 21, the lifting plate 23 moves downward to the set position along the linear guide rail 231. At this time, the extension of the telescopic end of the second cylinder 25 causes the support plate 26 to move towards the bottom of the module through the fixing block 27, forming a bottom protection, and the equipment begins to move to the upper part of the box.

[0036] Conversely, after the equipment reaches the designated position, the retraction of the extension end of the second cylinder 25 causes the support plate 26 to retract, and the lifting plate 23 moves upward via the first cylinder 21. Under the action of the first driving component, the guide post 13 continues to extend downward into the housing. At this time, the gripper 34 moves outward via the slider 33, and then the laser rangefinder 40 measures whether the module is aligned with the housing entry point. If aligned, the module is placed inside the housing via the guide post 13, completing the housing entry operation. If not aligned, the module is intercepted in time and re-aligned until the housing entry operation is completed. Then, the above steps are repeated to perform the housing entry operation on the modules in sequence.

[0037] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
