[0037] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different ways as defined and covered by the claims.

[0038] Example 1:

[0039] See Figure 1 A production line-type elastic component energy storage system includes an elastic energy storage device 1, a conveying device 2, and a control mechanism 3. The elastic energy storage device 1 includes at least one elastic energy storage component 1.1, an energy storage drive device 1.2, and an input transmission mechanism 1.3. The energy storage drive device 1.2 is connected to the elastic energy storage component 1.1 via the input transmission mechanism 1.3 to perform energy storage operations on the elastic energy storage component 1.1. The elastic energy storage device 1 also includes an output transmission mechanism 1.4 and an energy storage conversion device 1.5. The energy storage conversion device 1.5 is connected to the elastic energy storage component 1.1 via the output transmission mechanism 1.4 to perform energy release operations on the elastic energy storage component 1.1. The conveying device 2 is disposed between the input transmission mechanism 1.3 and the output transmission mechanism 1.4 to transport the elastic energy storage component 1.1. The control mechanism 3 includes a control system for controlling and coordinating the operation of the elastic energy storage device 1 and the conveying device 2. This invention, by setting multiple elastic energy storage components 1.1 and conveying devices 2, achieves continuous energy storage operations on the elastic energy storage components 1.1, thereby improving energy storage efficiency.

[0040] See Figure 2The elastic energy storage component 1.1 includes a housing 1.1.1, within which an elastic energy storage component 1.1.2 is disposed. In this embodiment, the elastic energy storage component 1.1.2 is a spring. One end of the spring is connected to an energy storage clutch 1.1.4 via an energy storage connector 1.1.3. An energy storage positioning pin 1.1.7 is disposed on the energy storage connector 1.1.3 for fixing and limiting the energy storage connector 1.1.3. The other end of the spring is connected to an energy release clutch 1.1.6 via an energy release connector 1.1.5. An energy release positioning pin 1.1.8 is disposed on the energy release connector 1.1.5 for fixing and limiting the energy release connector 1.1.5. The other end of the energy storage clutch 1.1.4 is connected to the input transmission mechanism 1.3 via a spline, and the other end of the energy release clutch 1.1.6 is connected to the output transmission mechanism 1.4 via a spline.

[0041] In this embodiment, both the energy storage connector 1.1.3 and the energy release connector 1.1.5 are connecting shafts, both the input transmission mechanism 1.3 and the output transmission mechanism 1.4 are linkage transmission structures, the energy storage drive device 1.2 is an electric motor, and the energy storage conversion device 1.5 is a generator.

[0042] In this embodiment, the conveying device 2 is a conveyor, and the conveyor is equipped with multiple positioning devices for fixing the elastic energy storage component 1.1.

[0043] Preferably, the positioning device is at least one set of oppositely arranged buckles 2.1 set on the conveyor. In this embodiment, the buckles 2.1 are set in two sets, each set containing two buckles 2.1. Every two buckles 2.1 are oppositely arranged, and the four buckles 2.1 clamp and fix the elastic energy storage component 1.1 on the conveyor.

[0044] In this embodiment, the conveyor is also equipped with a loading and unloading mechanism 2.2. The loading and unloading mechanism 2.2 adopts a robotic arm structure, which can automatically load or unload the elastic energy storage component 1.1, saving manpower.

[0045] The elastic energy storage component 1.1 is also equipped with an elastic force detector to detect the elastic force of the spring.

[0046] As a preferred technical solution, the flexible energy storage device 1 is further provided with a speed regulator 1.6. The speed regulator 1.6 is located between the output transmission mechanism 1.4 and the energy storage conversion device 1.5, and is used to adjust the energy release rate to meet the working needs of the subsequent energy release application system. In this embodiment, the speed regulator 1.6 is provided with three speed settings: low speed, medium speed, and high speed. The low speed setting is 950 r / min, the medium speed setting is 1100 r / min, and the high speed setting is 1500 r / min.

[0047] This embodiment provides a method for operating a production line-type elastic component energy storage system, including the following steps:

[0048] S1. Place the elastic energy storage components on the conveyor in an orderly manner, start the conveyor, and the elastic energy storage components are transported by the conveyor.

[0049] S2. Set the minimum and maximum set values ​​for the elastic force of the elastic energy storage component, detect the elastic force of the elastic energy storage component at the workstation, and select at least one operation between energy storage and energy release based on the comparison between the detected value and the set value. Specifically:

[0050] When the detected elastic force value is less than the minimum set value, the elastic energy storage component can perform energy storage operation;

[0051] When the detected elastic force value is between the minimum and maximum set values, the elastic energy storage component can perform at least one of the following operations: energy storage and energy release.

[0052] When the detected elastic force value is greater than the maximum set value, the elastic energy storage component can be used to release energy.

[0053] Preferably, the energy release rate is adjusted by a speed regulator, specifically as follows:

[0054] The speed regulator has three speed settings: fast, medium, and slow. When starting up, the speed regulator is set to the fast setting to facilitate system startup.

[0055] During startup, the speed regulator is set to the fast function mode to facilitate system startup;

[0056] During normal operation, the speed regulator should be set to medium or slow speed to facilitate the normal operation of the system.

[0057] In specific operation, the conveyor is started, and the robot arm places the elastic energy storage component 1.1 in an orderly manner into the slots formed by the buckles 2.1 on the conveyor, thereby loading the elastic energy storage component 1.1. The elastic energy storage component 1.1 is transported by the conveyor. When the elastic energy storage component 1.1 is transported to the corresponding position between the input transmission mechanism 1.3 and the output transmission mechanism 1.4, the control system controls the conveyor to stop conveying. At this time, the elastic force detector detects the elastic force of the spring, and the control system judges the magnitude of the elastic force detection value and the set value, and selects to perform energy storage or energy release operation accordingly.

[0058] Specifically, when performing energy storage operation on the elastic energy storage component 1.1, the energy storage clutch 1.1.4 is locked to fix it relative to the energy storage connector 1.1.3. The energy storage positioning pin 1.1.7 is released to release the fixing limit of the energy storage connector 1.1.3. The energy release positioning pin 1.1.8 is locked to fix the energy release connector 1.1.5. The energy release clutch 1.1.6 is released to separate it from the energy release connector 1.1.5. At this time, the motor drives the input transmission mechanism 1.3 to move. The input transmission mechanism 1.3 drives the energy storage clutch 1.1.4 to move through the spline. The energy storage clutch 1.1.4 acts on the energy storage connector 1.1.3. The spring enables energy storage operation. When releasing energy from the elastic energy storage component 1.1, the energy storage clutch 1.1.4 is released, separating it from the energy storage connector 1.1.3. The energy storage positioning pin 1.1.7 is locked, fixing the energy storage connector 1.1.3. The energy release positioning pin 1.1.8 is released, releasing the fixed limit of the energy release connector 1.1.5. The energy release clutch 1.1.6 is locked, fixing it relative to the energy release connector 1.1.5. At this time, the spring acts on the energy release clutch 1.1.6 through the energy release connector 1.1.5. The energy release clutch 1.1.6 drives the generator to work through the output transmission mechanism 1.4, thus realizing the energy release operation.

[0059] After energy storage or release is completed, the robotic arm unloads the elastic energy storage component 1.1. Furthermore, depending on the actual application, this system can also continuously store energy in the elastic energy storage component 1.1 before releasing it, allowing the component to be repeatedly used on the conveyor.

[0060] Example 2;

[0061] See Figure 3 In this embodiment, both the energy storage clutch and the energy release clutch are disposed outside the housing. The energy storage clutch is disposed on the input transmission mechanism, and the energy release clutch is disposed on the output transmission mechanism. Both the input and output transmission mechanisms are connected to the spring via connecting shafts. This arrangement can reduce the weight of the elastic energy storage component. In this embodiment, other structures are the same as in Embodiment 1, and will not be described again here.

[0062] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
