Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automobile production line equipment technology, specifically a battery loading and unloading device for automobile production lines. Background Technology

[0002] During automobile production, batteries need to be installed inside the car. These batteries power the car's lighting system and provide power for starting the car. Before assembly, batteries are mostly placed on material racks. Therefore, before assembly, batteries need to be moved from the material racks to the car assembly area using a pick-and-place device.

[0003] However, traditional pick-and-place devices, when retrieving batteries located high on the shelf, move the device to the side of the shelf. During this movement, the device is constantly adjusted to position the battery between two clamps on the device. The clamps then move towards the battery to grip it. Because the battery is high up, it's difficult to observe the position of the clamps during this adjustment process. This can lead to the battery being off-center from the clamps after adjustment, resulting in one clamp contacting the battery while the other doesn't. When the battery is off-center... When the distance is large, one of the clamping levers may not be able to hook onto the edge protrusion of the battery, causing the battery to fall during the lifting process, resulting in poor safety. Moreover, after clamping to the designated position, manual operation is usually required to move both clamping levers away from the battery to release the battery, which is not convenient for the battery to be automatically released when it is moved to the designated position, resulting in poor ease of use. In addition, most of the pick-up and drop-off devices are equipped with a push handle, which is pushed to move the device. The height of the push handle is generally fixed, so it is not convenient to adjust the height of the push handle according to the usage habits of users of different heights, resulting in poor flexibility.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0017] (1) The battery pick-and-place device for automobile production line described in this invention, when it is necessary to pick up the battery on the material rack, push the frame to the side of the material rack and adjust the position of the frame. After the position of the frame is adjusted, the lifting structure moves the moving structure to a position higher than the battery. Then, the moving structure moves the clamping structure toward the battery. During the process of the clamping structure moving toward the battery, the blocking structure can play a positioning role. When the clamping structure comes into contact with the battery, the moving structure will continue to drive the clamping structure to move a short distance.

It effectively avoids the battery position deviation during the clamping process, improves safety and convenience, and can clamp batteries of different sizes, improving flexibility and applicability.

[0018] (2) The battery pick-and-place device for automobile production line described in this invention has a locking structure that engages with the clamping structure after the clamping structure has clamped the battery. This prevents the clamping structure from suddenly loosening during the clamping process, thus improving stability. When the clamped battery is put down, the locking structure can prevent the locking structure from engaging with the clamping structure through the reset structure. At this time, as the moving structure moves, the clamping structure will automatically open and release the clamping of the battery, thus avoiding the need for manual release, saving time and improving efficiency.

[0019] (3) The battery loading and unloading device for automobile production line described in this invention allows the frame to be pushed by hand during battery handling, thus facilitating the movement of the frame. The height of the pushing structure can be changed, so the height of the pushing structure can be adjusted according to users of different heights, providing good flexibility.

[0033] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0034] like Figure 1-11 As shown, the battery loading and unloading device for an automobile production line according to the present invention includes a frame 1, four brake casters 4 installed at the bottom of the frame 1, a lifting structure 2 on the frame 1, a moving structure 3 on the frame 1, a clamping structure 5 on the moving structure 3, a locking structure 7 on the clamping structure 5, a blocking structure 6 on the clamping structure 5, a reset structure 8 on the clamping structure 5, and a pushing structure 9 on the frame 1.

[0035] Specifically, the clamping structure 5 includes a connecting frame 501, which is connected to the movable structure 3. A first slide rod 502 is slidably connected to the connecting frame 501, and a second slide rod 503 is slidably connected to the first slide rod 502. A first knob 504 is rotatably connected to the second slide rod 503 and threadedly connected to the first slide rod 502. A rotating shaft 505 is rotatably connected to the second slide rod 503, and a first clamping rod 506 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 505. A first guide block 507 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 505. A connecting plate 509 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 501, and a guide plate 508 is slidably connected to the connecting plate 509. The end of the first guide block 507 extends... Extending into the guide plate 508, the connecting plate 509 is threadedly connected to a second knob 510 and slidably connected to a stop block 511. The stop block 511 abuts against the guide plate 508, and the second knob 510 is threadedly connected to the stop block 511. A second clamping rod 512 is fixedly connected to the first slide rod 502. A first spring 513 abuts against the first slide rod 502 and the connecting frame 501. One end of the cross-sections of the first clamping rod 506 and the second clamping rod 512 are both L-shaped. The first guide block 507 is offset from the axis of the rotating shaft 505. The abutting structure 6 includes a third slide rod 601. Two third slide rods 601 are slidably connected to the connecting frame 501, and a third knob 603 is rotatably connected to each third slide rod 601. The third knob 603 is threadedly connected to the connecting frame 501. A baffle 602 is fixedly connected to the third slide rod 601. The lifting structure 2 includes a first motor 201, which is mounted on the frame 1. A first lead screw 202 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 201 via a coupling. The first lead screw 202 is rotatably connected to the frame 1. A lifting block 203 is threadedly connected to the first lead screw 202, and the lifting block 203 is slidably connected to the frame 1. The moving structure 3 includes a second motor 301, which is mounted on the frame 1. A connecting shaft 302 is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 301 via a coupling. A connecting sleeve 303 is slidably connected to the connecting shaft 302. The connecting sleeve 303 is rotatably connected to the lifting block 203. A first gear 304 is fixedly connected to the connecting sleeve 303, and the first gear 304 meshes with a second gear 305. The second gear 305 is fixedly connected to a second lead screw 306. A crossbar 307 is fixedly connected to the lifting block 203, and a sliding sleeve 308 is slidably connected to the crossbar 307. A connecting frame 501 is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve 308. A second lead screw 306 is rotatably connected between the lifting block 203 and the crossbar 307, and the sliding sleeve 308 is threaded onto the second lead screw 306. That is, when it is necessary to clamp the battery on the material rack, the frame 1 is pushed to the side of the material rack, and the position of the frame 1 is adjusted. After the position of the frame 1 is adjusted,By controlling the output shaft of the first motor 201 to rotate, the output shaft of the first motor 201 drives the first lead screw 202 to rotate. The lead screw 202 thread-driven the lifting block 203 to slide on the frame 1. During the movement, the lifting block 203 drives the crossbar 307 and the sliding sleeve 308 to move together. When the position of the sliding sleeve 308 is higher than the position of the battery, the lifting block 203 stops moving. At this time, by controlling the output shaft of the second motor 301 to rotate, the output shaft of the second motor 301 drives the connecting shaft 302 to rotate. The rotation of the connecting shaft 302 drives the connecting sleeve 303 to rotate. The rotation of the connecting sleeve 303 drives the first gear 304 to rotate. The first gear 304 drives the second gear 305 to rotate. The second gear 305 drives the second lead screw 306 to rotate. The threaded drive of the second lead screw 306 drives the connecting sleeve 303 to move towards the battery. The connecting sleeve 303 drives the connecting frame 501 to move towards the battery. The connecting frame 501 drives the second clamping rod 512 to move towards the battery. During the movement of the connecting frame 501, the two baffles 602 are located on both sides of the battery, thus playing a positioning role. When the second clamping rod 512 comes into contact with the battery, as the connecting frame 501 moves, the first slide rod 502 slides inside the connecting frame 501, the first spring 513 contracts, and the movement of the first slide rod 502 drives the second slide rod 503 to move synchronously. The movement of the second slide rod 503 will... The rotating shaft 505 and the first guide block 507 move together. As the first guide block 507 moves, the rotating shaft 505 rotates under the action of the guide plate 508 and the first guide block 507, causing the first clamping rod 506 to move towards the battery. When the first clamping rod 506 rotates 90 degrees, one side of it contacts the battery. At this point, the first sliding rod 502 stops moving, and both the first clamping rod 506 and the second clamping rod 512 contact the battery, thus achieving automatic and rapid clamping of the battery, improving convenience. Furthermore, when clamping batteries of different sizes is required, rotating the second knob 510 prevents the abutment block 511 from pressing against the guide plate 508. Then, the first knob 504 can be rotated. The first slide rod 502 slides on the second slide rod 503. During the movement of the first slide rod 502, the guide plate 508 moves in the same distance and direction as the first slide rod 502. After the position of the first slide rod 502 is adjusted, the second knob 510 is rotated in the opposite direction to fix the abutment 511 against the guide plate 508. Adjusting the position of the first slide rod 502 changes the distance between the first clamping rod 506 and the second clamping rod 512, thus facilitating the clamping of batteries of different sizes with good flexibility. Simultaneously, the third knob 603 can be rotated to change the position of the baffle 602, further facilitating the clamping of batteries of different sizes with good flexibility.

[0036] Specifically, the locking structure 7 includes a locking block 701, which is slidably connected to the connecting frame 501. A protrusion 703 is fixedly connected to the locking block 701. A second spring 702 abuts against the locking block 701 and the connecting frame 501. A locking groove 704 is provided on the first sliding rod 502. The end of the cross-section of the locking block 701 is trapezoidal, and the cross-section of the protrusion 703 is trapezoidal. The reset structure 8 includes a pressure block 801, which is slidably connected to the second clamping rod 512. A first slider 802 is slidably connected to the pressure block 801. A third spring 803 abuts against the first slider 802 and the pressure block 801. A fourth spring 803 abuts against the pressure block 801 and the second clamping rod 512. 4. One end of the cross-section of the first slider 802 is trapezoidal, and one end of the cross-section of the pressure block 801 is U-shaped. That is, when both the first clamping rod 506 and the second clamping rod 512 are in contact with the battery, the end of the locking block 701 will be directly opposite the slot 704. Therefore, under the action of the second spring 702, the locking block 701 will move towards the slot 704 and engage with it. This prevents the first slider 502 from continuing to slide on the connecting frame 501, and thus prevents the first clamping rod 506 from opening due to rotation during clamping, thereby improving stability. When both the first clamping rod 506 and the second clamping rod 512 are in contact with the battery, the connecting frame 501 will drive the first clamping rod 506 and the second clamping rod 512 towards the battery. When the top movement occurs, after the pressure block 801 contacts the protrusion at the top edge of the battery, the pressure block 801 slides inside the second clamping rod 512 as the second clamping rod 512 moves. The fourth spring 804 contracts, thereby driving the first slider 802 to move towards the protrusion 703. Since the part of the first slider 802 that contacts the protrusion 703 is inclined, the first slider 802 moves towards the inside of the pressure block 801 under the contact force of the protrusion 703 as the pressure block 801 moves. The third spring 803 contracts. When the pressure block 801 moves to be flush with the end face of the second clamping rod 512, the battery will be lifted from the material rack as the first clamping rod 506 and the second clamping rod 512 move simultaneously. At this time, the first slider 802 is located at the protrusion 703. At the bottom of 03, during battery transport, two baffles 602 act as a buffer, effectively preventing the battery from falling between the first clamp 506 and the second clamp 512, thus improving safety. Once the battery is hoisted to the designated position and placed properly, the protruding edge of the battery will no longer contact the second clamp 512. At this point, under the force of the fourth spring 804, the pressure block 801 will reset. During its movement, the pressure block 801 will drive the protrusion 703 and the locking block 701 away from the slot 704 via the first slider 802. The moving end of the locking block 701 will completely disengage from the slot 704, allowing the connecting frame 501 to move away from the battery.During the movement of the connecting frame 501, the first spring 513 extends, driving the first slide rod 502 to move on the connecting frame 501. As the first slide rod 502 moves, the first clamping rod 506 rotates away from the battery, and simultaneously, the first slider 802 moves away from the protrusion 703. After moving a certain distance, the first slider 802 disengages from the protrusion 703. At this point, because the end of the locking block 701 is misaligned with the locking groove 704, the second spring 702 extends, driving the locking block 701 to move until it contacts the first slide rod 502. When the first clamping rod 506 rotates ninety degrees, the first slide rod 502 stops moving. This achieves automatic release of the battery clamp, avoiding the need for manual release, shortening time, and improving efficiency.

[0037] Specifically, the pushing structure 9 includes a connecting rod 903, which is fixedly connected to the frame 1. A push handle 901 is slidably connected to the connecting rod 903, and the push handle 901 has multiple grooves 902. A slide 904 is slidably connected to the connecting rod 903, and a pressure plate 905 is fixedly connected to the slide 904. Two fifth springs 906 abut against the slide 904 and the frame 1. Two second sliders 907 are slidably connected to the connecting rod 903, and multiple locking teeth 908 are fixedly connected to the second sliders 907. The multiple locking teeth 908 engage with the grooves 902. A second guide block 909 is fixedly connected to the second slider 907 and extends into the interior of the slide 904. That is, during the battery handling process, the frame can be pushed by holding the push handle 901. 1. This facilitates the movement of the frame 1. When the height of the push handle 901 needs to be adjusted according to the height of different users, the pressure plate 905 is stepped on by foot. The pressure plate 905 will drive the slide 904 to move. During the movement of the slide 904, the two second sliders 907 will move. The second sliders 907 will drive the multiple locking teeth 908 to move. When the multiple locking teeth 908 are not engaged with the groove 902, the position of the push handle 901 can be adjusted. After the position of the push handle 901 is adjusted, the pressure plate 905 can be released. At this time, under the action of the two fifth springs 906, the multiple locking teeth 908 will move towards the groove 902 until they are engaged with the groove 902. At this time, the adjusted position of the push handle 901 is fixed. By adjusting the height of the push handle 901, it can better adapt to users of different heights, thereby improving flexibility and applicability.

[0038] In use, when it is necessary to pick up a battery from a material rack, the machine frame 1 is pushed to the side of the material rack and its position is adjusted. After the position of the machine frame 1 is adjusted, the output shaft of the first motor 201 is controlled to rotate. The rotation of the output shaft of the first motor 201 drives the first lead screw 202 to rotate. The first lead screw 202 drives the lifting block 203 to slide on the machine frame 1. During the movement, the lifting block 203 drives the crossbar 307 and the sliding sleeve 308 to move together. When the position of the sliding sleeve 308 is higher than the position of the battery, the lifting block 203 stops moving. At this time, the output shaft of the second motor 301 is controlled to rotate. The rotation of the output shaft of the second motor 301 drives the connecting shaft 302 to rotate. The rotation of the connecting shaft 302 drives the connecting sleeve 307 to rotate. 3. Rotation: The connecting sleeve 303 rotates, driving the first gear 304 to rotate. The first gear 304 drives the second gear 305 to rotate, which in turn drives the second lead screw 306 to rotate. The lead screw 306 threadedly drives the connecting sleeve 303 to move towards the battery. The connecting sleeve 303 then drives the connecting frame 501 to move towards the battery. The connecting frame 501 then drives the second clamping rod 512 to move towards the battery. During the movement of the connecting frame 501, the two baffles 602 are positioned on both sides of the battery, thus providing positioning. When the second clamping rod 512 comes into contact with the battery, the first sliding rod 502 slides inside the connecting frame 501 as the connecting frame 501 moves. The first spring 513 contracts, and the movement of the first sliding rod 502 causes... The second slide bar 503 moves synchronously, which drives the rotating shaft 505 and the first guide block 507 to move. With the movement of the first guide block 507, the rotating shaft 505 rotates under the action of the guide plate 508 and the first guide block 507, causing the first clamping rod 506 to move towards the battery. When the first clamping rod 506 rotates 90 degrees, one side of it just touches the battery. At this time, the first slide bar 502 stops moving, and the locking block 701 just engages with the locking slot 704. Both the first clamping rod 506 and the second clamping rod 512 are in contact with the battery, thus achieving automatic and rapid clamping of the battery, improving convenience. Furthermore, when it is necessary to clamp batteries of different sizes, the second knob 510 is rotated to move the locking block 511. Without clamping the guide plate 508, the first knob 504 can be rotated to slide the first slide rod 502 onto the second slide rod 503. During the movement of the first slide rod 502, the guide plate 508 and the first slide rod 502 move at the same distance and in the same direction. After the position of the first slide rod 502 is adjusted, the second knob 510 is rotated in the opposite direction to fix the abutment block 511 against the guide plate 508. By adjusting the position of the first slide rod 502, the distance between the first clamping rod 506 and the second clamping rod 512 can be changed, thus facilitating the clamping of batteries of different sizes with good flexibility. At the same time, the third knob 603 can be rotated to change the position of the baffle 602, thus facilitating the clamping of batteries of different sizes.Good flexibility;

[0039] When both the first clamping rod 506 and the second clamping rod 512 are in contact with the battery, the end of the locking block 701 will be aligned with the slot 704. Therefore, under the action of the second spring 702, the locking block 701 will move towards the slot 704 and engage with it. This prevents the first sliding rod 502 from continuing to slide on the connecting frame 501, and thus prevents the first clamping rod 506 from opening due to rotation during clamping, thereby improving stability. After both the first clamping rod 506 and the second clamping rod 512 are in contact with the battery, the connecting frame 501 will drive the first clamping rod 506 and the second clamping rod 512 to move towards the top of the battery. When the pressure block 801 contacts the protrusion at the top edge of the battery, it moves towards the top of the battery along with the second clamping rod 506. As the pressure block 801 slides inside the second clamping rod 512, the fourth spring 804 contracts, causing the first slider 802 to move towards the protrusion 703. Since the part of the first slider 802 that contacts the protrusion 703 is inclined, as the pressure block 801 moves, the first slider 802 will move towards the inside of the pressure block 801 under the resistance of the protrusion 703. The third spring 803 contracts. When the pressure block 801 moves to be flush with the end face of the second clamping rod 512, the battery will be lifted from the material rack as the first clamping rod 506 and the second clamping rod 512 move simultaneously. At this time, the first slider 802 is located at the bottom end of the protrusion 703. During the battery handling process, it is supported by two baffles 602. This mechanism effectively protects the battery from falling between the first clamp 506 and the second clamp 512 during transport, thus improving safety. Once the battery is hoisted to the designated position and placed properly, the protruding edge of the battery will no longer contact the second clamp 512. At this point, under the force of the fourth spring 804, the pressure block 801 will reset. During its movement, the pressure block 801 will drive the protrusion 703 and the locking block 701 away from the locking groove 704 via the first slider 802. As the locking block 701 moves, its end will completely disengage from the locking groove 704, allowing the connecting frame 501 to move away from the battery. During the movement of the connecting frame 501… The first spring 513 extends and drives the first slide rod 502 to move on the connecting frame 501. As the first slide rod 502 moves, the first clamping rod 506 rotates away from the battery. At the same time, the first slider 802 moves away from the protrusion 703. After the first slider 802 moves a certain distance, it will disengage from the protrusion 703. At this time, since the end of the locking block 701 is misaligned with the locking groove 704, the second spring 702 extends and drives the locking block 701 to move until it abuts against the first slide rod 502. When the first clamping rod 506 rotates ninety degrees, the first slide rod 502 stops moving. At this time, the battery clamping is automatically released, thus avoiding the need to manually release the battery clamping, shortening the time and improving efficiency.

[0040] During battery transport, the frame 1 can be moved by holding the push handle 901. When the height of the push handle 901 needs to be adjusted according to the height of different users, the pressure plate 905 is stepped on, which drives the slide 904 to move. During the movement of the slide 904, the two second sliders 907 move, and the second sliders 907 drive the multiple locking teeth 908 to move. When the multiple locking teeth 908 do not engage with the groove 902, the position of the push handle 901 can be adjusted. After the position of the push handle 901 is adjusted, the pressure plate 905 can be released. At this time, under the action of the two fifth springs 906, the multiple locking teeth 908 will move towards the groove 902 until they engage with the groove 902, thus fixing the push handle 901 after the position is adjusted. By adjusting the height of the push handle 901, it can better adapt to users of different heights, thereby improving flexibility and applicability.
