[0029] like Figure 1As shown in one embodiment of the present invention, a continuous flipping feeding device includes a conveying mechanism 1, support components 2 on both sides of the conveying mechanism 1, a lifting mechanism 3 below the conveying mechanism 1, a rotating mechanism 4 on the lifting mechanism 3, and a battery clamp 5 on the rotating mechanism 4. The battery clamp 5 passes through the conveying mechanism 1. The battery clamp 5 includes a fixed plate assembly 501 connected to the rotating mechanism 4 and a movable plate assembly 502 movably connected to the fixed plate assembly 501. The fixed plate assembly 501 and the movable plate assembly 502 are connected to form a receiving groove for receiving materials. The fixed plate assembly 501 and the movable plate assembly 502 are separated for unloading materials. The rotating mechanism 4 is used to rotate the battery clamp 5, the support components 2 are used to support the movable plate assembly 502, the lifting mechanism 3 drives the fixed plate assembly 501 to descend and separate from the movable plate assembly 502, and the lifting mechanism 3 drives the fixed plate assembly 501 to rise and connect with the movable plate assembly 502.
[0030] In this embodiment, the battery clamp 5 is initially placed vertically. The fixed plate assembly 501 and the movable plate assembly 502 are connected together to form a receiving groove. The battery pack 6 to be transported is vertically transported from the front-end process device to the top of the battery clamp 5 and placed between the fixed plate assembly 501 and the movable plate assembly 502, that is, the battery pack 6 is placed on the battery pack 6 clamp.
[0031] Next, the rotating mechanism 4 is activated, controlling the battery clamp 5 to rotate 90° counterclockwise, causing the battery clamp 5 to change from a vertical state to a horizontal state, that is, flipping the battery pack 6 from a vertical state to a horizontal state. At this time, the battery pack 6 and the battery clamp 5 are parallel to the conveyor belt 101. Furthermore, the movable plate assembly 502 contacts the support assembly 2, and the support assembly 2 supports the movable plate assembly 502.
[0032] Then, the lifting mechanism 3 begins to descend, causing the fixed plate assembly 501 to move downwards. The fixed plate assembly 501 is supported by the support plate assembly and cannot descend with the movable plate assembly 502. Since the fixed plate assembly 501 and the movable plate assembly 502 are movably connected, the fixed plate assembly 501 and the movable plate assembly 502 are separated. When the height of the fixed plate assembly 501 is lower than the height of the conveying mechanism 1, the battery pack 6 comes into contact with the conveying mechanism 1, and the conveying mechanism 1 transports the battery pack 6 away.
[0033] After the battery pack 6 is removed, the lifting mechanism 3 begins to rise, causing the rotating structure and the fixed plate assembly 501 to move upwards. The fixed plate assembly 501 reconnects with the movable plate assembly 502 and rises to the preset position. Subsequently, the rotating mechanism 4 is activated, rotating the battery clamp 5 90° clockwise, so that the battery clamp 5 returns to its initial state, ready to receive the next battery pack 6.
[0034] The entire working process is carried out in a cycle to achieve continuous flipping and unloading operations. The rotating mechanism 4 and the lifting mechanism 3 control the rotation and lifting and lowering of the battery clamp 5, respectively, placing the battery pack 6 horizontally on the conveying mechanism 1 with the battery pack 6 facing the same direction. Then, the conveying mechanism 1 continuously transports the battery pack 6 to the next workstation, realizing an efficient production process.
[0035] This embodiment uses a fixed plate assembly 501 and a movable plate assembly 502 that are movably connected. When connected, the resulting receiving groove is used to receive material. When separated, the battery pack 6 is placed on the conveying mechanism 1. No external force is applied to the battery pack 6 during receiving and unloading, preventing damage to its outer packaging. Through the cyclical operation of flipping and unloading, this device enables a high-speed, continuous production process, significantly improving the efficiency of the production line. The device, through an automated control system, can automatically flip and unload the battery pack 6, reducing manual intervention and improving the automation level of the production line. The automation features of this device can significantly reduce manual labor, lowering the labor intensity and safety risks for workers. The movement of the lifting mechanism 3 and the rotating mechanism 4 is precisely controlled, accurately controlling the position and angle of the battery clamp 5 to ensure accurate unloading of the battery pack 6. The battery pack 6 maintains a stable posture during flipping and unloading and is smoothly transported out via the conveyor belt 101, reducing damage and quality problems caused by improper operation.
[0036] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the lifting mechanism 3 includes a fixed seat 301 connected to the conveying mechanism 1, a lifting cylinder 302 is provided on the fixed seat 301, a movable seat 303 is provided at the free end of the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 302 and is slidably connected to the fixed seat 301, a first stroke limit switch 304 for limiting the upward movement of the movable seat 303 is provided on the fixed seat 301, and a second stroke limit switch 305 for limiting the downward movement of the movable seat 303 is provided, and the rotating mechanism 4 is provided on the movable seat 303.
[0037] In this embodiment, during operation, the battery clamp 5 and battery pack 6 are rotated to a horizontal position by the rotating mechanism 4. The lifting cylinder 302 is activated, causing the movable seat 303 to move downwards. The movable seat 303 then moves the rotating mechanism 4 and the fixed plate assembly 501 downwards, separating the fixed plate assembly 501 and the movable plate assembly 502. The battery pack 6 moves downwards along with the fixed plate assembly 501. When the movable seat 303 descends to a certain position, the second stroke limit switch 305 is triggered, stopping the downward movement of the lifting cylinder 302. At this time, the height of the movable plate assembly 502 is lower than the height of the transport mechanism, and the battery pack 6 on the movable plate assembly 502 falls onto the transport mechanism, which then transports the battery pack 6 away. After the battery pack 6 is transported away, the lifting cylinder 302 pushes the movable seat 303 upwards. As the fixed plate assembly 501 rises accordingly, it contacts and reconnects with the movable plate assembly 502. When the movable seat 303 rises to a certain position, the first stroke limit switch 304 is triggered, stopping the upward movement of the lifting cylinder 302. The rotating mechanism 4 starts to rotate, driving the battery clamp 5 to rotate clockwise to reset, ready to receive the next battery pack 6.
[0038] In this embodiment, the combination of the lifting cylinder 302 and the movable seat 303 enables the battery pack 6 to rise and fall, allowing the movable plate assembly 502 and the fixed plate assembly 501 to separate or connect, thus facilitating their disassembly and connection. A travel limit switch is used to precisely control the rising and falling positions of the movable seat 303, improving operational accuracy and safety.
[0039] A slide rail is provided on the fixed base 301, and a slider is slidably connected to the slide rail. The slider is connected to the movable base 303. The slide rail and slider design allows the movable base 303 to maintain a stable guiding effect during rising and falling, reducing vibration and shaking caused by friction or unstable factors, thereby improving the stability of the entire device during operation. Through the connection of the slide rail and slider, the up and down movement trajectory of the movable base 303 can be controlled more accurately, ensuring that the movable base 303 can move along a predetermined path, thus guaranteeing the positional accuracy of the battery pack 6 during falling and rising.
[0040] like Figure 3As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the rotating mechanism 4 includes a motor 401 connected to the lifting mechanism 3. Specifically, the motor 401 is mounted on the movable seat 303, and a rotating shaft 402 is drivenly connected to the output shaft of the motor 401. The output shaft of the motor 401 is connected to the input shaft of the reducer, and the output shaft of the reducer is connected to the rotating shaft 402 via a coupling. The rotating shaft 402 is rotatably connected to the movable seat 303. A fixed plate assembly 501 is mounted on the rotating shaft 402. A connecting plane is provided on the shaft segment of the rotating shaft 402, and multiple connecting holes are provided on the connecting plane. The fixed plate assembly 501 is connected to the rotating shaft 402 by fasteners such as screws and bolts. When the rotating mechanism 4 is started, the motor 401 drives the rotating shaft 402 to rotate via the reducer. The rotating shaft 402 drives the clamp assembly to rotate, thereby driving the battery pack 6 to rotate.
[0041] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the fixed plate assembly 501 includes a first mounting plate 503, on which a first limiting member 504 is detachably connected; the movable plate assembly 502 includes a second mounting plate 505, on which a second limiting member 506 is detachably connected, and the first limiting member 504 and the second limiting member 506 are magnetically connected.
[0042] In this embodiment, the first mounting plate 503 is a component mounted on the rotating shaft 402 and can rotate with the rotating shaft 402. The first mounting plate 503 is detachably connected to the rotating shaft 402, and its position on the rotating shaft 402 can be adjusted to accommodate battery packs 6 of different sizes. The first limiting member 504 is magnetically connected to the first mounting plate 503. The second mounting plate 505 is connected to and detachably mounted on the movable seat 303, and its position on the rotating shaft 402 can be adjusted to accommodate battery packs 6 of different sizes. The first limiting member 504 and the second limiting member 506 are magnetically connected, forming a stable connection between the fixed plate assembly 501 and the movable plate assembly 502, which facilitates connection and disassembly. This allows for easy clamping and flipping of the battery pack 6 during connection and unloading of the battery pack 6 onto the conveying mechanism 1 during separation.
[0043] In practical applications, the fixed plate assembly 501 and the movable plate assembly 502 can adopt other movable connection methods, such as snap-fit connection, air expansion snap-fit connection, etc.
[0044] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a first connector 512 is provided on the first limiting member 504, and a second connector 513 is provided on the second limiting member 506. First magnets 516 with opposite polarities are provided on the first connector 512 and the second connector 513. One of the first connector 512 and the second connector 513 is provided with a connecting groove 514, and the other is provided with a connecting protrusion 515 that engages with the connecting groove 514.
[0045] In this embodiment, a magnetic connection is achieved between the first connector 512 and the second connector 513 via first magnets 516 of opposite polarities on the first connector 512 and the second connector 513. This connection offers excellent stability and robustness, ensuring that the first connector 512 and the second connector 513 will not easily detach or shift during operation, maintaining the clamping state of the battery pack 6, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the device. It also facilitates separation, allowing the battery pack 6 to be unloaded onto the conveying mechanism 1, and enables continuous operation.
[0046] The grooves and protrusions engage with each other, making the connection between the first connector 512 and the second connector 513 tighter. This not only increases the stability of the connection but also effectively prevents misalignment or slippage between the connectors, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the device during operation.
[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the first connector 512 and the second connector 513 are made of Teflon. Teflon has a certain degree of flexibility to prevent damage to the battery pack 6, is wear-resistant, has a good lifespan, and is non-metallic with good insulation properties.
[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the first connector 512 and the second connector 513 are assembled to form a V-shaped groove. When the battery pack 6 is placed vertically, the edges are sealed, resulting in a protrusion at the bottom edge. The V-shaped groove can accommodate the protrusion, thereby better supporting the battery pack 6 and ensuring transportation stability. In practical applications, the shape of the accommodating groove after the first connector 512 and the second connector 513 are assembled can be adjusted according to production requirements such as the shape and size of the battery pack 6.
[0049] In this embodiment, the Teflon material has good flexibility, which can effectively reduce the squeezing and scratching of the battery pack 6 during transportation, thereby protecting the battery pack 6 from damage and ensuring its safety and integrity. Teflon material has good wear resistance and lifespan, and can withstand long-term use without easily being damaged, extending the service life of the connectors, reducing the frequency of replacement and maintenance, and lowering production costs. As a non-metallic material, Teflon has good insulation properties, which can effectively isolate the electrical contact between the connectors and the battery pack 6, reducing potential safety risks and ensuring the stability and safety of the battery pack 6 during transportation.
[0050] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the first limiting member 504 is provided with a photoelectric sensor 507 for detecting materials, which can detect whether there is a battery pack 6 on the battery clamp 5. The first limiting member 504 is also provided with a proximity switch 508 for detecting the second limiting member 506. The second limiting member 506 is provided with a sensing piece 511 corresponding to the proximity switch 508, which can detect the connection status of the first limiting member 504 and the second limiting member 506.
[0051] In this embodiment, the system can detect in real time whether there is a battery pack 6 on the battery clamp 5 using the photoelectric sensor 507 on the first limiting member 504. This ensures that the device only processes real materials during normal operation, avoiding empty clamping or missed clamping due to operational errors or other reasons, thus improving the accuracy and stability of the production process. The proximity switch 508 on the second limiting member 506 can detect the connection status between the first limiting member 504 and the second limiting member 506. When the proximity switch 508 is in contact with the sensing plate 511, the first limiting member 504 and the second limiting member 506 are well connected. When the proximity switch 508 is not in contact with the sensing plate 511, the first limiting member 504 and the second limiting member 506 are poorly connected. This allows for timely detection of poor connection or detachment of the first limiting member 504 and the second limiting member 506, avoiding process abnormalities or safety hazards caused by weak connections.
[0052] In this embodiment, through the application of photoelectric sensor 507 and proximity switch 508, the device has a higher level of intelligence and automation in material detection and connection status monitoring, improving the stability, safety and efficiency of the production line, and enhancing the controllability and traceability of the production process.
[0053] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the second mounting plate 505 includes a first baffle 509 and a second baffle 510, and the support assembly 2 includes a first support base 201 corresponding to the first baffle 509 and a second support base 202 corresponding to the second baffle 510. Multiple pairs of limiting blocks 203 are provided on both the first support base 201 and the second support base 202, and the spacing between each pair of limiting blocks 203 on the first support base 201 is equivalent to the width of the first baffle 509.
[0054] The first baffle 509 is magnetically connected to the first support base 201. The first baffle 509 is provided with a plurality of second magnets 517, and the first support base 201 is provided with iron blocks at positions corresponding to the second magnets 517.
[0055] In this embodiment, by setting the first support base 201 and the second support base 202, a stable support can be provided for the first baffle 509 and the second baffle 510, facilitating the separation of the movable plate assembly 502 and the fixed plate assembly 501. Multiple pairs of limiting blocks 203 set on the first support base 201 and the second support base 202 limit the movement range of the first baffle 509 and the second baffle 510, allowing the movable plate assembly 502 to be accurately connected to the fixed plate assembly 501. Furthermore, when the fixed plate assembly 501 and the movable plate assembly 502 are connected, the movement range of the movable plate assembly 502 is limited, ensuring a normal connection between the fixed plate assembly 501 and the movable plate assembly 502. The second magnet 517 attracts the iron block, ensuring a stable connection between the movable plate assembly 502 and the support assembly 2, maintaining stability, reducing shaking and offset, and facilitating reconnection to the fixed plate assembly 501.
[0056] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the conveying mechanism 1 includes a plurality of conveyor belts 101 spaced apart, and a plurality of first limiting members 504 are spaced apart, the first limiting members 504 passing through the gaps between the conveyor belts 101.
[0057] The conveying mechanism 1 is provided with a sensing sensor 102 on the side away from the battery clamp 5 for detecting the position of the material on the conveying mechanism 1.
[0058] By setting multiple spaced conveyor belts 101, the conveying mechanism 1 has a sufficiently large conveying surface to stably support and transport the battery pack 6. Furthermore, the multiple gaps between the spaced conveyor belts 101 facilitate the installation of the fixed plate assembly 501, allowing the first clamping member to pass through the gaps and separate the fixed plate assembly 501 from the movable plate assembly 502. This facilitates unloading material onto the conveyor belts 101, enabling continuous material transport. A sensing sensor 102 is installed on the side away from the battery clamp 5 to detect the position of the material on the conveyor belts 101. Through the monitoring of the sensing sensor 102, the position information of the material can be obtained in a timely and accurate manner. When the sensing sensor 102 detects the battery pack 6, the battery pack 6 is moved away from the battery clamp 5, without interfering with the operation of the lifting mechanism 3 and the rotating mechanism 4, ensuring their normal operation. It also provides accurate positioning and control data for subsequent processes, thereby ensuring the precision and stability of the production process. By setting up the conveyor belt 101 and applying the sensing sensor 102, the conveying mechanism 1 achieves efficient material conveying and accurate position detection, improving the automation level and production efficiency of the production line, while also ensuring the accuracy and reliability of material conveying during the production process.
[0059] In practical applications, the position of the sensing sensor 102 can be adjusted according to production needs. For example, if the battery pack 6 is large, the distance between the sensing sensor 102 and the battery clamp 5 can be set larger to ensure that the battery pack 6 is far away from the battery clamp 5 and does not affect the movement of the rotating mechanism 4 and the lifting mechanism 3. If the battery pack 6 is small, the distance between the sensing sensor 102 and the battery clamp 5 can be set smaller so that after the battery pack 6 enters the safe position, the rotating mechanism 4 and the lifting mechanism 3 can move quickly, making the actions of each mechanism work together smoothly, reducing working time and improving production efficiency.
[0060] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
