Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of battery charging racks, and in particular relates to a lifting bracket used for a battery charging rack. Background Art

[0002] Batteries are widely used in important areas of the national economy because of their low price, reliable quality, large capacity range, easy maintenance, and long service life. Before the manufacturer completes the production of batteries, they need to be charged for the first time; and the first charging of batteries is an important step because it directly affects the performance and life of the battery. Since the first charging of batteries takes a long time, they are generally placed on a specific charging rack for charging. A lot of heat is also generated during the battery charging process, and high temperature will affect the charging efficiency, so the charged batteries are generally cooled by water baths and other methods.

[0003] At present, most enterprises adopt a semi-manual and semi-automatic method for handling, that is, the battery is transported to the charging rack through the battery production line, and the staff manually pushes it to the elevator. When the elevator lifts it to the top height of the water bath tank of the charging rack, the staff then moves it to the inside of the water bath tank; although compared with pure manual handling, the labor intensity is reduced and the efficiency is improved to a certain extent, the labor intensity is still high, and the handling efficiency is not high enough. Therefore, the present invention designs a lifting bracket for a battery charging rack. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a lifting bracket for a battery charging rack. Through the action of a lifting control mechanism, after a plurality of batteries are subjected to mechanical operations such as lifting and rotating, the batteries can be conveniently inserted into and placed in a water bath in the charging rack. The lifting bracket has the advantages of simple design structure, easy to realize the carrying function, greatly reducing labor intensity and improving carrying efficiency, thus solving the above-mentioned problems of still high labor intensity and insufficient improvement in carrying efficiency.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] The present invention discloses a lifting bracket for a battery charging rack, comprising a charging rack, a battery conveying line and a lifting control mechanism; battery trays and batteries are evenly placed on the battery conveying line, and a lifting control mechanism is installed on one side of the battery conveying line; the lifting control mechanism comprises a spiral elevator, a lifting guide column and a lifting seat; the spiral elevator is fixedly installed with a lifting guide column; the spiral elevator is matched with a lifting seat; the lifting guide column penetrates the lifting seat and is slidably matched; an L-shaped step socket is rotatably matched on the lifting seat; the L-shaped step socket comprises a step connecting seat and an L-shaped fork; the step connecting seat is equipped with an L-shaped fork; a clearance bracket for inserting the L-shaped fork is provided on the top surface of the battery tray; the L-shaped fork is used to be inserted into the clearance bracket and then lifted upward to lift the battery; a servo motor is fixedly installed on the lifting seat, and the output shaft of the servo motor is fixedly installed with the L-shaped step socket.

[0007] If the rotation operation of the L-shaped step socket on the lifting seat is completely relied upon, the total horizontal length of the L-shaped step socket and the L-shaped fork needs to be relatively long, so a steering cylinder is fixedly installed on the step connecting seat; the rotating table of the steering cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the L-shaped fork; the function of the steering cylinder is to prevent the L-shaped fork from being blocked by the frame of the charging rack during rotation, and to store the L-shaped fork directly under the L-shaped step socket; so that it can smoothly enter the sliding track of the water bath in the charging rack.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, transverse guard bars are fixedly installed on both sides of the L-shaped fork; a limiting groove is provided on the upper surface of the L-shaped fork; and the limiting groove is used to ensure the placement stability of the battery.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the lifting seat is fixedly provided with a limit plate A and a limit plate B on both sides of the hinge of the L-shaped step socket for limiting the range of the rotation position; the limit plate A and the limit plate B are fixedly provided with a photoelectric sensor A and a photoelectric sensor B for detecting the starting point and the end point of the rotation position; the photoelectric sensor A and the photoelectric sensor B are used to feedback the rotation position of the L-shaped step socket.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a sliding track is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the charging rack, and a clearance groove for the clearance fit of the sliding track is opened on the bottom surface of the L-shaped fork; a photoelectric sensor C is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the L-shaped fork; the photoelectric sensor C is used to feedback the insertion depth of the L-shaped fork to ensure that the battery is exactly aligned with the position of the clearance groove, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the operation steps.

[0011] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. The present invention uses the lifting control mechanism to lift and rotate multiple batteries, and then conveniently insert and place the batteries in the water bath in the charging rack. It has the advantages of simple design structure, easy to realize the carrying function, greatly reducing labor intensity and improving carrying efficiency.

[0013] 2. The present invention uses the step connection seat and the steering cylinder designed in the L-shaped step socket to store the L-shaped fork just below the L-shaped step socket and allow it to smoothly enter the sliding track of the water bath in the charging rack; it has the advantage of improving the smoothness of automated handling.

[0014] 3. The present invention uses the function of the clearance groove to enhance the advantage of ensuring the placement stability of the battery during the lifting and transportation process.

[0015] Of course, any product implementing the present invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
