Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery box taking-out equipment, and specifically discloses a product taking-out mechanism for battery box molding equipment. Background Art

[0002] The battery box of the battery is used to hold the electrolyte and the plate group. The battery box should be acid-resistant, heat-resistant and shock-resistant. In the past, it was mostly made of hard rubber. Now China has begun to produce polypropylene plastic battery boxes. This kind of shell is not only acid-resistant, heat-resistant and shock-resistant, but also has high strength, thinner box wall (usually 3.5mm, while the hard rubber shell wall thickness is 10mm), light weight, beautiful appearance and transparent.

[0003] The battery box is made by injection molding. The molded battery box is generally taken out manually, but this method is inefficient and has the risk of burns, so it is being gradually eliminated. Now the most common method is to use a robotic arm to take out the battery box. The actions of the robotic arm are: aiming-grabbing-steering-discharging. However, during the steering process, the battery box is prone to tilting due to inertia. Since the stroke of the robotic arm for discharging is basically the same, when discharging, the battery box tilts and one side will touch the ground first, and the other side of the battery box will touch the ground later, and the side that touches the ground later will be a certain distance away from the ground. The battery box is prone to collide with the ground and break. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention is intended to provide a product removal mechanism for a battery box molding device to reduce the probability of the battery box tilting due to inertia.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the basic scheme of the present invention is as follows: a product removal mechanism for a battery box forming equipment, comprising a frame, a first linear module is installed on the frame, a vertical bracket is installed on the output end of the first linear module, a second linear module is installed on the bracket, a steering mechanism is installed on the output end of the second linear module, a clamping mechanism and an adsorption mechanism for adsorbing the battery box are installed on the steering mechanism; the steering mechanism comprises a mounting seat and a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the bracket, the mounting seat is fixed on the rotating shaft, a slave gear is coaxially fixed to the rotating shaft, a driving member is provided on the bracket, a main gear meshing with the slave gear is coaxially fixed to the output shaft of the driving member, and a third linear module is fixed on the mounting seat; the clamping mechanism comprises at least two groups of clamping components fixed on the output end of the third linear module, the clamping component comprises a support shaft and clamping members fixed on both sides of the support shaft.

[0006] The principle and beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the first linear module moves horizontally with the bracket to the injection molding machine, and the second linear module moves vertically with the steering mechanism to adjust the height of the steering mechanism to facilitate the clamping of the clamping member. The third linear module moves horizontally with the clamping assembly to adjust the horizontal position of the clamping assembly, which is more convenient for clamping the battery box. The driving member drives the main gear and the slave gear to rotate, and the slave gear drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and then the rotating shaft drives the mounting seat and the clamping assembly to rotate, and the battery box is reversed by rotation, and when the clamping member clamps the battery box, the adsorption mechanism adsorbs the battery box. Because the battery box is prone to tilt due to inertia when turning, the battery box is adsorbed and blocked by the adsorption mechanism at this time, thereby reducing the probability of the battery box tilting due to inertia.

[0007] Furthermore, the adsorption mechanism includes a first support plate fixedly connected to the support shaft, a second support plate is fixed on the first support plate, a plurality of suction cups are fixed on the second support plate, and the suction cups are located above the clamping member.

[0008] Beneficial effect: The suction cup is supported by the first support plate and the second support plate to improve the stability of the suction cup. When the clamping assembly is clamped, it clamps both sides of the battery box, and the suction cup sucks the side of the battery box that is prone to tilting. When the battery box is about to tilt due to inertia, the suction cup blocks the battery box to prevent the battery box from tilting.

[0009] Furthermore, the suction cup is connected to a negative pressure pump.

[0010] Beneficial effect: The negative pressure pump draws a vacuum on the suction cup, further increasing the suction capacity of the suction cup and improving the suction effect of the suction cup.

[0011] Furthermore, the clamping member includes a first cylinder and a main clamping plate fixed on an output shaft of the first cylinder.

[0012] Beneficial effect: The first cylinder pushes the main clamping plate to clamp the battery box.

[0013] Furthermore, the first support plate includes an inner plate and an outer plate, the outer plate is vertically slidably connected to the support shaft, a slide groove is opened in the outer plate, the inner plate is located in the slide groove, and the inner plate and the outer plate are horizontally slidably connected.

[0014] Beneficial effect: When the spacing between the clamping components needs to be adjusted to accommodate battery boxes of different widths, there is no need to remove the suction cup, and the first support plate can be directly pulled, and the inner plate slides on the outer plate to extend the length of the first support plate to achieve the purpose of adjustment.

[0015] Furthermore, a second cylinder is arranged above the outer plate, and an output shaft of the second cylinder is fixedly connected to the outer plate.

[0016] Beneficial effect: When the second cylinder contracts, it can drive the outer plate to slide vertically, and then the outer plate drives the second support plate and the suction cup to slide vertically to adjust the height distance of the suction cup, making it easier for the suction cup to adsorb the target object.

[0017] Furthermore, a reinforcing plate is provided between the first supporting plate and the second supporting plate.

[0018] Beneficial effect: When the first support plate or the second support plate is impacted, it is inevitable that the suction cup will be misplaced. The reinforcing plate is used to improve the installation strength of the first support plate and the second support plate, thereby reducing the probability of the suction cup being misplaced.

[0019] Furthermore, a cushion layer is arranged on the main clamping plate.

[0020] Beneficial effect: When the main clamping plate clamps the battery box, the main clamping plate and the cushion layer are in rigid contact and are prone to wear. The cushion layer is used to protect the battery box.

[0021] Furthermore, the driving element is a servo motor or a stepping motor.

[0022] Beneficial effects: The stepper motor or the servo motor can drive the main gear to rotate a certain angle to facilitate the steering of the steering mechanism.

[0023] Furthermore, a fixing seat is installed between the rotating shaft and the bracket, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the fixing seat.

[0024] Beneficial effect: The rotating shaft is stably mounted on the fixed seat to facilitate stable rotation of the rotating shaft. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0035] Embodiment 1:

[0036] Basically as attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown: A product removal mechanism for battery box molding equipment, including a frame and a first linear module bolted to the frame, a vertical bracket 1 bolted to the output end of the first linear module, a vertical second linear module 11 bolted to the bracket 1, a fixed seat 12 bolted to the output end of the second linear module 11, a steering mechanism is provided on the fixed seat 12, and a clamping mechanism and an adsorption mechanism are installed on the steering mechanism. When the first linear module is working, the bracket 1 is moved to the injection molding machine, and when the second linear motor module is working, the position of the fixed seat 12 can be adjusted vertically, thereby adjusting the height position of the steering mechanism and the adsorption mechanism.

[0037] In this embodiment, the steering mechanism includes a rotating shaft 13 and a mounting seat 15 welded on the rotating shaft 13. The rotating shaft 13 is rotatably connected to the fixing seat 12. Figure 3 and attached Figure 4As shown, a driving member is bolted to the fixed seat 12, and the driving member is a stepper motor 19 in this embodiment. A slave gear 18 is coaxially bolted to the rotating shaft 13, and a main gear 14 is coaxially bolted to the output shaft of the stepper motor 19, and the main gear 14 is meshed with the slave gear 18. A third linear module 16 is bolted to the side of the mounting seat 15 away from the rotating shaft 13, and two clamping mechanisms are arranged on the output end of the third linear module 16. The clamping mechanism includes a clamping assembly. In this embodiment, the clamping assembly includes a support shaft 2 and two clamping members respectively located on both sides of the support shaft 2, and the support shaft 2 is bolted to the output end of the third linear module 16. The clamping member includes a first cylinder 3 bolted to the support shaft 2, a main clamping plate 31 is bolted to the output shaft of the first cylinder 3, and a cushion layer is screwed to the main clamping plate 31. In this embodiment, the cushion layer is made of elastic material.

[0038] In this embodiment, the adsorption mechanism includes a first support plate 21 and a second support plate 22 located between two clamping assemblies. The first support plate 21 is horizontally arranged, and the second support plate 22 is perpendicular to the first support plate 22. The first support plate 21 includes an outer plate, and a slide groove 26 is opened in the outer plate. Both sides of the slide groove 26 are horizontally slidably connected with inner plates 25, and the inner plates 25 are vertically slidably connected to the support shafts 2 on both sides of the third linear module 16. A second cylinder 24 fixed to the support shaft 2 by screws is arranged above both sides of the outer plate, and the output shaft of the second cylinder 24 is welded to the outer plate. The second support plate 22 is located below the first support plate 21, and a connecting plate with both ends welded to the first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22 is arranged between the second support plate 22 and the first support plate 21. Combined with the attached Figure 5 As shown, a reinforcing plate 27 is further provided between the first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22, one end of the reinforcing plate 27 is welded to the first support plate 21, and the other end of the reinforcing plate 27 is welded to the second support plate 22. A plurality of suction cups 23 are screwed to the second support plate 22. In this embodiment, the first linear module, the second linear module 11 and the third linear module 16 are all linear motor modules, and are all electrically connected to a power supply.

[0039] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0040] The operator controls the first linear module and the second linear module 11 to make the steering mechanism and the adsorption mechanism reach the specified position.

[0041] Start the stepper motor 19, which drives the main gear 14 to rotate, and then the main gear 14 drives the slave gear 18 to rotate a certain angle, which is 90° in this embodiment. The slave gear 18 rotates 90° with the rotating shaft 13 and the mounting seat 15 to adjust the angle of the clamping assembly and the adsorption mechanism for easy clamping and adsorption. Start the third linear module 16, which drives the clamping member and the adsorption assembly to move horizontally through the support shaft 2 to further adjust the clamping distance. Start the second cylinder 24 to further adjust the height position of the adsorption mechanism.

[0042] When clamping, the suction cup 23 is attached to one side of the battery box in the length direction, and the first cylinder 3 is started, and the first cylinder 3 pushes the main clamping plate 31 to clamp the battery and both sides in the width direction. After the clamping is completed, the first linear module and the second linear module 11 are started again to keep the battery box away from the injection molding machine. At this time, the small area side of the battery box faces the ground.

[0043] In order to make the battery box face the ground with a large area, the stepper motor 19 is started again. The stepper motor 19 drives the rotating shaft 13 and the mounting base 15 to reset through the main gear 14 and the slave gear 18. Under the action of inertia, the battery box is prone to tilt. In this embodiment, since the suction cup 23 is always adsorbed on the battery box, the battery box is blocked by the suction cup 23, and the probability of the battery box tilting is reduced.

[0044] Embodiment 2:

[0045] The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that Figure 6 , Attachment Figure 7 and attached Figure 8 As shown, a negative pressure pump 4 is bolted to the bracket 1 , an air inlet of the negative pressure pump 4 is connected to an air inlet pipe 41 , the air inlet pipe 41 is connected to the suction cup 23 , and an air outlet of the negative pressure pump 4 is connected to an air outlet pipe 42 .

[0046] A cavity 34 is formed in the main clamping plate 31, and auxiliary clamping plates 32 are horizontally slidably connected to both sides of the cavity 34. A return spring 36 is arranged between the two auxiliary clamping plates 32. The cavity 34 is connected to the negative pressure pump 4 through the air outlet pipe 42, and the cavity 34 is connected to the pressure relief valve 35. Figure 8 As shown, a plurality of protrusions 33 are vertically slidably connected to the auxiliary clamping plate 32 . In this embodiment, the protrusions 33 are all made of rubber, and a spring 37 fixed to the auxiliary clamping plate 32 is fixed below the protrusions 33 .

[0047] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0048] When the suction cup 23 is in contact with the battery box, the negative pressure pump 4 is started, and the negative pressure pump 4 pumps negative pressure on the suction cup 23 to improve the adsorption capacity of the suction cup 23. At the same time, the gas pumped by the negative pressure pump 4 is discharged into the cavity 34, and the air pressure in the cavity 34 increases, so that the auxiliary clamping plate 32 slides toward both sides to expand the area of ​​the main clamping plate 31, thereby increasing the clamping effect of the main clamping plate 31 on the battery box. At the same time, because the protrusion 33 on the auxiliary clamping plate 32 extends out under the action of the spring 37, it is squeezed by the battery box and the spring 37 and deforms to a certain extent, thereby increasing the friction between the battery box and the auxiliary clamping plate 32. When turning, the probability of the battery box tilting is reduced.

[0049] When the negative pressure pump 4 stops working, the return spring 36 retracts the auxiliary clamping plate 32 into the cavity 34 . During the process of retracting the auxiliary clamping plate 32 , the protrusion 33 is squeezed by the side wall of the cavity 34 , and the protrusion 33 is retracted onto the auxiliary clamping plate 32 .

[0050] The above is only an embodiment of the present invention, and the common knowledge such as the known specific structure and / or characteristics in the scheme is not described in detail here. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several deformations and improvements can be made without departing from the structure of the present invention, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the present invention and the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection required by this application shall be based on the content of its claims, and the specific implementation methods and other records in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
