Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy storage device disassembly and assembly tooling equipment, and in particular to an energy storage battery disassembly and assembly equipment and method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the application of new energy sources has greatly improved people's living environment, saved oil and other energy sources, and provided efficient and reliable power for various industries. Large containerized new energy equipment typically requires multiple racks within a single container, with each rack housing dozens or even hundreds of batteries. Each battery consists of multiple individual cells, and each individual cell is formed by multiple cells connected in series and parallel. This results in each battery weighing tens of kilograms, or even over 100 kilograms, which brings inconvenience to battery installation, disassembly, and maintenance.

[0003] Generally, during battery installation, batteries are manually moved into a frame using simple tooling or a crane, and then adjusted and secured manually. Disassembly is similarly done manually using existing lifting equipment. This process is inefficient, difficult, and requires a large workforce. Existing equipment, not being specialized, causes significant inconvenience. Currently, many research institutions and construction companies have designed and developed specialized tooling. For example, patent CN107585547A discloses a bracketless high-voltage battery installation tooling, including a conveying module. This module includes a handle, a left support frame, a nut, a spring washer, rollers, a right support frame, and a connecting rod. The conveying module is used to convey and install high-voltage batteries. A battery compartment is fitted over the conveying module; the battery compartment is a hollow structure with an open top. The conveying module is placed on the bottom inner wall of the battery compartment. A buffer module installed inside the battery compartment is located on one side of the conveying module to prevent damage to the high-voltage batteries due to rigid collisions during transport. This patented tooling facilitates battery installation and improves efficiency. However, the tooling is large in size, occupies a lot of space, requires a large battery compartment, and has a complex structure that is not easy to operate. It still requires multiple operators to work together to complete the operation, resulting in low efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0050] In this invention, the terms "first," "second," "upper," and "lower," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first," "second," "upper," or "lower" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. Where the technical solutions of the embodiments can be combined, they are all within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0051] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0052] like Figure 1As shown, a battery disassembly and assembly device is used to disassemble and maintain batteries 500 on a rack. The rack includes multiple cells 700, each capable of holding two or more batteries 500. The disassembly and assembly device includes a support device 100, an adjustment device 200, an image acquisition device 400, an operating device 300, and a control device (not shown). The support device 100 is movable and includes a support platform 110 with multiple rolling elements 150 for holding multiple batteries 500. The height of the support platform 110 is adjustable. The adjustment device 200 is mounted on the support platform 110 to adjust the position of the batteries 500. The image acquisition device 400, mounted on the support platform 110, acquires real-world signals and loads virtual signals for battery 500 positioning onto the acquired signals. The operating device 300 is mounted on the support platform 110 and can move along three coordinate axes. It includes a robotic arm that moves and fixes the battery 500. A control device controls the movement of the support device 100, controls the adjustment device 200 to adjust the position of the battery 500, receives and outputs the real and virtual signals, and controls the operation of the operating device 300.

[0053] Generally, multiple racks are set up inside the container for installing batteries. At least one battery can be installed in each cell 700. In this embodiment, two batteries are installed in each cell 700 as an example. The battery includes a battery box and multiple battery cells, and each battery cell is composed of multiple cells connected in series and parallel. The disassembly and assembly equipment of this embodiment can be used for both battery installation and disassembly processes, which are reversed and the operations are basically the same. Therefore, the structure and operation of the disassembly and assembly equipment of this embodiment will be described below using battery installation as an example.

[0054] First, the carrier device 100 is placed in a preset initial position, such as at the door of a container, and two batteries are placed on the carrier platform 110 with the front panel of the batteries facing the operating device 300 and the image acquisition device 400.

[0055] The control unit includes a processor, memory, signal transmitter, and output device. The memory stores information such as the rack dimensions and structure, battery dimensions, and the distribution of racks and equipment within the container.

[0056] As a preferred embodiment, the image acquisition device 400 employs an augmented reality (AR) device capable of acquiring real-world signals from the surrounding environment, including two batteries 500 already placed on a support platform. The processor receives the real-world signals and loads them with... Figure 2The virtual signal shown, in this embodiment, is the frame that matches cell 700 and the bolt holes for battery mounting. The virtual signal is represented by dashed lines. The position of battery 500 is adjusted by operating device 300 and adjusting device 200 so that one side of one battery is aligned with one side of the frame. Then, the other battery is adjusted in the same way so that its other side is aligned with the other side of the frame, and the opposite sides of the two batteries are close together.

[0057] Preferably, both real and virtual signals are output to an output device, which can be set on a remote control platform or on an image acquisition device, preferably on a remote control platform.

[0058] The processor issues a command to move the carrier 100. Following a pre-planned route, the carrier 100 moves to the vicinity of cell 700, with the edge of the carrier platform 110 opposite to the operating device 300 approaching the edge of cell 700. The position and height of the carrier platform 110 are adjusted so that the frame serving as a virtual signal aligns with the edges of cell 700, and the virtual bolt holes correspond to the bolt holes of cell 700. The control device sends a command to the operating device 300, and the robotic arm extends, pushing the battery 500 towards cell 700. When the rear wall of the battery 500 reaches the edge of the carrier platform 110, the robotic arm slightly lifts the battery 500, removing it from the carrier platform 110, and continues to push the battery 500 into cell 700 until it is completely inserted. The control device controls the robotic arm to tighten the bolts, securing the battery within cell 700. The robotic arm then retracts, completing the installation of the battery 500.

[0059] The control methods and control structures of the above-mentioned control devices can all be intelligently controlled using existing technologies, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0060] Using the aforementioned disassembly and assembly equipment, the battery is accurately placed into the corresponding position in the corresponding cell 700, and the battery is automatically fixed, saving a lot of manpower, facilitating the movement of heavy batteries, realizing accurate battery positioning, and automatic battery picking, placement, installation and disassembly operations, improving operational efficiency, saving a lot of space, and avoiding operational inconvenience by using specialized tooling equipment.

[0061] Furthermore, the virtual signal is a frame representing the outline of the cell 700.

[0062] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, the adjustment device 200 includes an adjustment frame 210, an adjustment plate 230, and a screw 220. The adjustment frame 210 is fixed to the support platform 110. The screw 220 passes through the adjustment frame 210 and is connected to the adjustment plate 230. The extension and retraction of the screw 220 drives the adjustment plate 230 to move the battery 500 on the support platform 110. Two guide rods 231 are provided on the adjustment plate 230, and the guide rods 231 pass through the adjustment frame 210.

[0063] The adjustment device 200 further includes a first drive mechanism 240, which includes a first drive motor 241. A drive wheel 244 is fixed on the main shaft of the first drive motor 241, and a driven wheel 243 is rotatably fixed on the adjustment frame 210. The driven wheel 243 is provided with an internal thread that cooperates with the screw 220. The drive wheel 244 and the driven wheel 243 are connected by a transmission belt 242.

[0064] The screw 220 and the adjusting plate 230 are connected by abutment. After the screw 220 and the adjusting plate 230 are connected by a fixing member, the screw 220 can rotate relative to the adjusting plate 230. The screw 220 is threadedly connected to the adjusting frame 210. The rotation of the screw realizes the extension and retraction relative to the adjusting frame 210, thereby driving the extension and retraction of the adjusting plate 230. The use of the adjusting plate 230 ensures that the battery 500 will not shift when adjusting its position. The adjusting plate 230 is equipped with a guide rod 231, which guides the adjusting plate 230 and further prevents the battery 500 from shifting during movement. The rotation of the screw 220 is achieved by a control device. Therefore, a drive mechanism 240 is set to drive the screw to rotate. The transmission component of the first drive mechanism 240 is preferably a belt drive. The drive wheel 244 drives the driven wheel 243 to achieve the rotation of the screw 220. The inner hole of the driven wheel 243 is a threaded hole. At the same time, the driven wheel 243 is rotatably connected to the adjustment frame 210. After the screw 220 is threadedly connected to the driven wheel 243, it passes through a light hole on the adjustment frame 210 that is coaxial with the inner hole of the driven wheel 243.

[0065] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the operating device 300 includes an operating frame 330, which can move in the X-axis direction driven by a second driving mechanism 340. The operating frame 330 is provided with an operating tool 310, which is connected to the operating frame 330 via a robotic arm 320. The robotic arm 320 can extend and retract in the Y-axis direction and can move along the Z-axis direction of the operating frame 330.

[0066] Preferably, the second drive mechanism 340 includes a drive assembly 342 and a guide rail 341. The operating frame 330 is slidably connected to the guide rail 341, which is arranged along the X-axis. The drive assembly 342 includes a second drive motor, a belt drive mechanism, and a drive screw. The drive screw is threadedly connected to the operating frame 330, and one end of it is connected to the belt drive mechanism. The second drive motor is controlled by a control device to move the operating frame 330 in the X-axis direction. The robotic arm 320 preferably uses a hydraulic mechanism. A slide groove is provided on the operating frame 330, and two robotic arms 320 are arranged in the slide groove to simultaneously pick up the upper and lower parts of the battery 500. The two robotic arms 320 can move along the slide groove in the Z-axis direction. Their drive mechanism can adopt any of the existing technologies, such as chain drive, belt drive, nut and screw drive, hydraulic drive, gear and rack drive, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0067] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the operating tool 310 includes a base 311 and a tool 312, with the tool 312 connected to the robotic arm 320 via the base 311. An operating drive mechanism (not shown) is provided within the base 311, which drives the tool 312 to move. The operating drive mechanism is connected to the control device.

[0068] Furthermore, the tool 310 includes a clamp and a bolt tightener.

[0069] Taking a gripper as an example, the gripper includes two opposing clamps, one of which is preferably fixed to the base 311, and the other is driven by an operating drive mechanism to move relative to or away from the fixed clamp, thereby achieving clamping and releasing. The operating drive mechanism can employ any existing mechanism; those skilled in the art can design it themselves, and details will not be elaborated here. The operating drive mechanism operates according to the operating instructions sent by the processor.

[0070] Furthermore, a connector is connected to the end of the robotic arm 320, the connector is connected to the base 311, and a locking structure is provided on the connector and the base 311.

[0071] As one embodiment, a stepped structure is provided on the circumferential surface of the connector end; that is, the connector is a stepped shaft structure, and the diameter of the end is smaller than the diameter of the connector connecting to the robot arm 320. The base 311 has an inner hole whose inner diameter matches the outer diameter of the connector end. The locking structure can be achieved by providing a protrusion on the outer circumferential surface of the connector end and a spiral structure on the inner circumferential surface of the base end. The protrusion can slide along the spiral structure to achieve locking and unlocking of the connector and the base.

[0072] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, the energy storage battery disassembly and assembly equipment further includes: a tool library 600 with multiple accommodating positions 610, the operating frame 330 can move along the X-axis to the corresponding position of the tool library 600, and the tool 310 can be accommodated and picked up by the extension and retraction of the robotic arm 320.

[0073] Specifically, the accommodating position 610 of the tool library 600 is a clamping structure, and at least two clamping planes that cooperate with the clamping structure are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the base 311.

[0074] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the supporting device 100 further includes a base plate 120, on which at least three casters (not shown) are provided. The supporting platform 110 is connected to the base plate 120 via a folding frame 140, and a hydraulic device 130 is provided between the base plate 120 and the supporting platform 110.

[0075] The lifting and lowering of the support platform 110 is achieved by the hydraulic device 130.

[0076] Preferably, the carrier device is equipped with a sensor that can receive obstacle information, surrounding environment information, etc. The information received by the sensor is transmitted to the processor through a signal transmitter. After analyzing the received information, the processor sends the corresponding movement command to the carrier device 100.
