Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of transfer racks, and in particular to a transfer rack for new energy batteries. Background Art

[0002] New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels and adopt new in-vehicle power devices), integrating advanced technologies in the power control and drive aspects of vehicles, forming vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures. However, the existing new energy vehicle batteries are also different from traditional vehicle batteries. Currently, in the field of new energy vehicle manufacturing, new energy vehicle batteries generally use wooden box packaging or single-to-single rack transfer methods, resulting in high costs in terms of site, containers, and transportation. In addition, it is inconvenient to take and place when using wooden box packaging, increasing labor intensity and wasting labor. Therefore, the transportation of battery cases will also show inapplicable phenomena, and the existing battery case transportation racks are relatively inflexible, which is not conducive to the transfer and use of new energy batteries.

[0003] To solve the above problems, referring to the Chinese invention patent with the authorization announcement number CN102744721B, a multi-layer storage rack is disclosed, which includes trays arranged in multiple layers up and down. The trays are installed on the columns of the multi-layer storage rack. The columns are channel steels. The trays are installed on two sides of the channel steel through pin shafts. The pin shafts divide the trays into two unequal-length parts. Tray limit holes corresponding to the trays are provided on the bottom surface of the channel steel. When the tray is in a horizontal state, one end of its longer part extends out to hold the material; one end of the shorter part contacts the upper edge of the tray limit hole. Between two adjacent trays up and down, they are connected through a tray connecting piece, and the connecting part is arranged on the shorter part of the tray; load-bearing blocks are provided on the tray connecting piece.

[0004] The above-mentioned multi-layer storage rack has low manufacturing and use costs, is durable, and is simple and convenient to use; it expands the application range, avoids the constraints of traditional pneumatic devices, meets the needs of machine automation, and significantly improves the efficiency of loading and unloading goods of logistics appliances.

[0005] However, the above-mentioned multi-layer storage rack still has some problems. For example, the new energy batteries are only stacked on the rack, lacking limit and protection devices for the batteries. When the rack shakes during transfer, the batteries are likely to move horizontally or jump vertically. Therefore, it is necessary to design a new type of transfer rack for new energy batteries to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0037] Example 1

[0038] Reference Figures 1-8, A new energy battery transfer rack, including a bottom support frame 1 and a battery body 13. The bottom support frame 1 is of a rectangular structure and is fixedly welded by multiple mutually perpendicular crossbars. At the same time, rectangular support frames are provided on the four long sides at the lower end of the bottom support frame 1, leaving a gap between the bottom support frame 1 and the ground, facilitating the forklift to fork up and transport the transfer rack. Vertical rods 2 are fixedly provided at the four top corners at the upper end of the bottom support frame 1. Two single-body linkage mechanisms 3 are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the bottom support frame 1. A pressing mechanism 4 is arranged between the two single-body linkage mechanisms 3 on the same side. Two left limiting mechanisms 5 are provided on the left side of the bottom support frame 1, and the two left limiting mechanisms 5 are respectively hinged to the vertical rods 2. Two right limiting mechanisms 6 are fixedly provided on the right side of the bottom support frame 1; The pressing mechanism 4 includes two support rods 401 arranged in parallel. The support rods 401 can be made of rectangular steel pipes. Five pressing blocks 402 are rotatably arranged between the two support rods 401 through a rotating shaft 403. The five pressing blocks 402 are equidistantly arranged. A connecting rod 404 is arranged between the two single-body linkage mechanisms 3 on the same side. Specifically, the left and right ends of the connecting rod 404 are respectively fixed on two flipping claws 8. The connecting rod 404 passes through the pressing blocks 402. The up and down movement of the connecting rod 404 can drive the pressing blocks 402 to rotate. A first buffer block 4021 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the side of the pressing block 402 close to the battery body 13. The height of the end of the pressing block 402 close to the battery body 13 is less than the height of the end far from the battery body 13. With this setting, it can be ensured that when the pressing block 402 and the flipping claw 8 are both in a horizontal position, there is a certain height difference between the pressing block 402 and the flipping claw 8.

[0039] Reference Figures 5-8 , The single-body linkage mechanism 3 includes two flipping load-bearing columns 7 arranged in parallel. Five flipping claws 8 are rotatably arranged between the two flipping load-bearing columns 7 through a first pin shaft 9. The five flipping claws 8 are equidistantly arranged. One end of the flipping claw 8 is fixedly connected with a positioning block 10. The positioning block 10 can play the role of connecting the linkage piece 11 and the counterweight. A linkage piece 11 is connected between the upper and lower adjacent positioning blocks 10. After the flipping claw 8 at the lower end rotates, it can drive the linkage piece 11 to rise through the positioning block 10 fixedly connected thereto, thereby driving the flipping claw 8 at the upper end to rotate. A through hole 1001 is opened on the positioning block 10. An installation hole 1101 is opened at the upper end of the linkage piece 11. A strip-shaped hole 1102 is opened at the lower end of the linkage piece 11. A second pin shaft 12 is arranged between the through hole 1001, the installation hole 1101 and the strip-shaped hole 1102. The second pin shaft 12 can slide up and down inside the strip-shaped hole 1102.

[0040] Reference Figures 1-8The cross section of the left limiting mechanism 5 is L-shaped, and a first buffer bar 501 is fixedly arranged at the position of the left limiting mechanism 5 close to the battery body 13. The right limiting mechanism 6 includes a fixed pillar 601 fixed on the bottom support frame 1, and a second buffer bar 602 is fixedly arranged at the position of the fixed pillar 601 close to the battery body 13. A second buffer block 801 is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the flip claw 8, and a third buffer bar 701 is fixedly arranged on the inner side of the flip load-bearing column 7. The materials of the first buffer block 4021, the second buffer block 801, the first buffer bar 501, the second buffer bar 602 and the third buffer bar 701 are polyurethane, nylon or silicone. Polyurethane, nylon or silicone can play a good role in buffering and shock absorption for the battery body 13, and can prevent the battery body 13 from being bumped and scratched during transportation.

[0041] refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 A right battery holder 1301 is fixedly provided at a position of the battery body 13 close to the fixed pillar 601, and side battery holders 1302 are fixedly provided on the front and rear sides of the battery body 13 respectively. The side battery holder 1302 is arranged between the clamping mechanism 4 and the flip claw 8. Specifically, the side battery holder 1302 is arranged between the clamping block 402 and the flip claw 8.

[0042] refer to Figures 1-9 The flip load-bearing column 7 is fixedly arranged on the bottom support frame 1 through the first support plate 14 , the fixed support column 601 is fixedly arranged on the bottom support frame 1 through the second support plate 15 , and a reinforcing rib 16 is fixedly arranged between the fixed support column 601 and the second support plate 15 .

[0043] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 11 A locking mechanism is provided between the left limit mechanism 5 and the bottom support frame 1. Since the two left limit mechanisms 5 are respectively hinged to the vertical rod 2, the user can rotate the left limit mechanism 5. When the battery body 13 needs to be placed, the left limit mechanism 5 can be opened. After stacking, the left limit mechanism 5 can be closed and fixed with a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism includes a limit sleeve 18 fixedly arranged on the left limit mechanism 5, a limit rod 17 is slidingly arranged inside the limit sleeve 18, and a toggle rod 19 is fixedly connected to the outside of the limit rod 17. A fixing rod 20 is fixedly arranged on the outside of the left limit mechanism 5 at a position corresponding to the upper end of the toggle rod 19. The bottom support frame 1 is provided with a limit groove at a position corresponding to the limit rod 17, and the limit rod 17 can be placed inside the limit groove.

[0044] When the present invention is in use, the user can open the left limit mechanism 5 as needed, and place the first battery body 13 on the lowermost turning claw 8 using a lifting tool or with the aid of other tools. After releasing the lifting tool, the lowermost turning claw 8 will turn to the horizontal position under the action of the gravity of the battery body 13. At this time, the connecting rod 404 connected to the turning claw 8 will drive the pressing block 402 to turn, and the pressing block 402 can press on the battery body 13, thus completing the placement of the first battery body 13. At this time, the second-lowermost turning claw 8 turns out between the turning load-bearing columns 7 driven by the lowermost linkage piece 11, and the operator can place the second battery body 13 on the second-lowermost turning claw 8, and so on, until the placement of the last battery body 13 is completed.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
