Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of new energy lithium batteries, and in particular to a battery cell lifting device with a compact structure. Background Art

[0002] New energy lifting mechanisms are mainly used in the new energy field, and their practicality is high. With the rapid development of electric vehicles, a large number of new energy vehicles have entered people's field of vision. Advanced manufacturing technology is to continuously absorb traditional technologies and apply them comprehensively to the entire manufacturing process of product development and design, manufacturing, testing, management and after-sales service. It realizes high-quality, efficient, low-energy, clean and agile manufacturing, and achieves cutting-edge manufacturing technology with ideal technical and economic effects.

[0003] Lithium-ion battery cells, in particular, are typically handled manually during processing and movement, or existing designs are overly redundant and bulky, creating significant operational inconvenience. Consequently, the overall space required for the device needs to be reduced, resulting in a more compact structure. Furthermore, as energy cells are becoming increasingly heavier, the load capacity also needs to be calculated to avoid instability during transport. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to overcome at least one of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art and provide a battery cell lifting device with a compact structure to achieve the technical effects of compact structure and stable operation.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, the present invention provides a compact battery cell lifting device, comprising a lifting mechanism and a clamping mechanism; the lifting mechanism is arranged on the lower side of the clamping mechanism, and the clamping mechanism includes a clamping assembly and an adjustment assembly; the clamping assembly includes a first cylinder group, a clamping plate, and a first support plate connected in sequence; the adjustment assembly is a spring buffer, which is arranged at both ends of the first support plate; the product is pushed upward by the lifting mechanism to achieve product detachment, and at the same time, the first cylinder group of the clamping mechanism drives the clamping plate to clamp in the center, and is buffered by the adjustment assembly to achieve flexible lifting and support.

[0006] The present invention is mainly aimed at new energy battery cells, but can also be applied to many fields, including 3C, home appliances and other fields. The lifting mechanism mainly realizes the up and down movement of the product on the Z axis; the clamping mechanism mainly realizes the flexible clamping of the product, which is also a major technical point of the present invention. The elastic clamping of the spring buffer prevents damage caused by rigid shaking of the product during the clamping process, thereby improving the stability of the device.

[0012] The longitudinal axis of the horizontal support end extends out of the support shell and is higher than the support shell. The lower end of the longitudinal axis is concave, and the concave portion corresponds to the side surface of the support shell to form a redundant space.

[0013] Furthermore, the battery cell lifting device of the present invention also includes a lifting drive assembly for lifting the adjusting assembly; the lifting drive assembly includes a second cylinder group, a second support plate, and a fixed rod connected in sequence; the fixed rod is fixedly connected to the horizontal support end; the second support plate is driven to be lifted and lowered by the second cylinder group, so that the fixed rod drives the adjusting assembly to move up and down.

[0016] The fixing bracket of the present invention plays a role of bearing and supporting, the bottom of the fixing bracket is a fixing panel for easy support, and the fixing bracket is enclosed on all four sides for easy heat dissipation and ventilation, while reducing the weight of the device.
