[0023] A conveying method for a longitudinal production conveyor line of new energy batteries, the method is as follows:

[0024] Step 1: The AGV carries the pallet and the five-layer battery cell carrier on the pallet into the loading area, and then places the pallet and the five-layer battery cell carrier on the pallet on the loading conveyor mechanism;

[0028] The pallet at the unloading station flows back to the bottom of the stacking station, where the stacking mechanism puts down the stacked empty cell carriers, and then they flow back to the unloading station together;

[0029] Step 5: After the stacking assembly lifts all the cell carriers, the pallet on the unloading conveyor mechanism is transported back to the stacking conveyor mechanism. The stacking assembly then places all the cell carriers on the pallet, and then transports the pallet and cell carriers to the unloading conveyor mechanism.

[0030] Step 6: The AGV enters the unloading area, carries the pallet and all the battery cell carriers away, and returns to the raw material warehouse along the same route to prepare for the next delivery.

[0031] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

The destacking assembly 21 includes a frame 211 arranged on the left and right sides of the destacking conveying mechanism, and two linear guide rails 215 are fixed on the side of the frame 211 close to the destacking conveying mechanism. The linear guide rails 215 facilitate the lifting and lowering of the telescopic seat 217. A fixed plate 212 is fixed on the slider of the linear guide rail 215. The bottoms of the two fixed plates 212 are connected through a fixed plate 213, so that when the electric cylinder 214 drives the fixed plate 213 to rise and fall, it can simultaneously drive the two fixed plates 212 to rise and fall.

Linear bearings 135 are fixed to the front side of the mounting plate 131, located on the left and right sides of the third cylinder 132. The linear bearings 135 are embedded with guide shafts 136. The guide shafts 136 cooperate with the linear bearings 135 to serve as a limiting guide when the baffle 134 moves up and down. The upper end of the guide shaft 136 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the baffle 134. The third cylinder 132 drives the connecting bracket 133 upward, thereby driving the baffle 134 upward, thereby blocking the battery cell carrier 100.

[0070] The stacking and conveying mechanism is further provided with a second pneumatic barrier 41 having the same structure as the first pneumatic barrier 13 ; the second pneumatic barrier 41 can cooperate with the first pneumatic barrier 13 to block the battery cell carriers 100 during stacking to prevent them from flowing out of the stacking area 4 .

[0071] In the destacking conveying mechanism and the transverse conveying mechanism, a support plate 22 is fixed between the two inner first mounting frames A122, and a blocking cylinder 23 is fixed on the support plate 22 to prevent the battery cell carriers 100 from flowing back in the destacking conveying mechanism and the transverse conveying mechanism.

[0072] In one embodiment of the present invention, which is based on any of the above embodiments, two blocks 6 are provided on the loading conveying mechanism 11, the first transition conveying mechanism 311, and the unloading conveying mechanism to prevent the battery cell carrier 100 or the pallet 200 from escaping from the C-shaped conveying line.

[0073] In one embodiment of the present invention, which is based on any one of the above embodiments, a fixed seat 7 is provided in the destacking area 2, the transverse movement area 32, and the stacking area 4, and the fixed seat 7 has a plurality of third rollers 8 for guiding, so as to facilitate the transportation of the pallet 200 and the battery cell carrier 100.

[0074] In one embodiment of the present invention, a method for conveying a new energy battery longitudinal production conveyor line is provided, and the method is as follows:

[0075] Step 1: The AGV 300 carries the pallet 200 and the five-layer battery cell carriers 100 on the pallet 200 into the loading area 1, and then places the pallet 200 and the five-layer battery cell carriers 100 on the loading conveyor mechanism 11;

[0076] Step 2: The loading conveyor mechanism 11 conveys the stack 200 and the five-layer battery cell carriers 100 on the stack 200 to the destacking conveyor mechanism;

[0077] Step 3: The destacking assembly 21 lifts all five layers of battery cell carriers 100, allowing the pallet 200 to continue to be transported. The pallet 200 is transported to the first transition conveying mechanism 311 by the stacking conveying mechanism, and then transported to the transverse conveying mechanism by the lifting conveying mechanism 312. The transverse conveying mechanism transports the pallet 200 to the second transition area 33, and then transported to the stacking conveying mechanism by the second transition conveying mechanism in the second transition area 33. The pallet 200 is then transported to the stacking conveying mechanism by the stacking conveying mechanism, and then transported to the unloading conveying mechanism.

[0078] Step 4: After the pallet 200 flows out of the destacking conveying mechanism, the destacking assembly 21 puts down five layers of cell carriers 100 and lifts the second to fifth layers of cell carriers 100 again, and transports the first layer of cell carriers 100 to the first transition conveying mechanism 311 through the stacking conveying mechanism, and then transports it to the transverse conveying mechanism through the lifting conveying mechanism 312. At this time, the robot takes out the cells in the first layer of cell carriers 100, and then transports the first layer of cell carriers 100 to the second transition conveying mechanism through the transverse conveying mechanism, and then transports it to the stacking conveying mechanism through the second transition conveying mechanism. The stacking assembly lifts the first layer of cell carriers 100 to the height of the fifth layer. After the second layer of cell carriers 100 is also transported to the stacking conveying mechanism, the stacking assembly places the first layer of cell carriers 100 on the second layer of cell carriers 100, and then lifts them at the same time, repeating the above process to lift all the cell carriers 100 from the third to the fifth layer in sequence;

[0079] The pallet 200 at the material taking station flows back to the bottom of the stacking station, and the stacking mechanism puts down the stacked empty battery cell carriers 100, and then flows together to the material taking station again;

[0080] Step 5: After the stacking assembly has lifted all the cell carriers 100, the pallet 200 on the unloading conveyor mechanism is transported back to the stacking conveyor mechanism. The stacking assembly then places all the cell carriers 100 on the pallet 200 and then transports the pallet 200 and the cell carriers 100 to the unloading conveyor mechanism.

[0081] Step 6: The AGV 300 enters the unloading area 5, carries the pallet 200 and all the battery cell carriers 100 out, and returns to the raw material warehouse along the original route to prepare for the next delivery.

[0082] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be understood as limiting the present application. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the patent application of the present invention should fall within the scope of the present invention.
